Q: Spark Scala Register UDF - Why I need to pass underscore (_) at the end of function I have created an UDF in Scala and when I was trying to register this UDF with just function name it was showing me error.
Not Working
def IPConvertUDF = spark.udf.register("IPConvertUDF", IPConvert)

Error
error: missing argument list for method IPConvert
Unapplied methods are only converted to functions when a function type is expected.
You can make this conversion explicit by writing `IPConvert _` or `IPConvert(_)` instead of `IPConvert`.
def IPConvertUDF = spark.udf.register("IPConvertUDF", IPConvert)

And so I added extra _ after method name and it worked.

Works perfectly
def IPConvertUDF = spark.udf.register("IPConvertUDF", IPConvert _)

Would someone be able to explain be what is the meaning of extra _ after the method name?

A: Well the short answer is, you are trying to pass a method where a function is expected as an argument. Methods are not functions.
Let's dig a bit deeper.
Lets try with simple add function first
 val add:(Int,Int) => Int = (val1,val2) => val1+val2

 spark.udf.register("add",add)

The above code compiled without any error.  The reason is add is a function.
Now lets try the same add as a method
def add(val1:Int,val2:Int): Int ={
     val1+val2
   }

 spark.udf.register("add",add)

Now you get an error saying error: missing argument list for method add.
As I mentioned, register(..) is expecting function and methods cannot be passed as arguments.
_ is a shorthand for partially applied function.In other words , add method is converted into partially applied function and that's the reason the error has disappeared.
spark.udf.register("add",add _)

Stephen Foskett and the Wireless Field Day 7 delegates discuss design standards for wireless LANs (WLAN). Are standards and "rules of thumb" a good thing for the industry?

Q: Which options to put in /etc/fstab for / partition? (ArchLinux) I am installing ArchLinux and I don't know which options to put for the / partition in /etc/fstab. On ArchWiki they suggest defaults,noatime, but on my LinuxMint options are just errors=remount-ro which means "remount as read-only if there are errors". What is the best thing to do? I'm thinking about defaults,noatime,errors=remount-ro. Is that okay, or what should I do?

A: I don't think there's a clear-cut answer to what options you should use, at least not without knowing what you're going to do with the computer and what type of drive you're using.
A couple of points:

*

*noatime can be a bad idea, as it allows the time of the last access to be prior to the time of the last modification. This can cause some unexpected behavior, as programs won't be able to verify if the current version of a file has been read already.
As an alternative, relatime was introduced. With this option, the atime only gets updated if it's prior to the mtime. Some distros (e.g., Ubuntu) default to this.

*errors=remount-ro is meant to prevent data loss if problems occur while mounting. I can't think of any problems it could cause, so there's really no good reason not to do it.

*Use discard if (and only if) you're using a SSD and both the drive and the kernel support TRIM.

Home Gaming Resident Evil 5 – PS3 vs Xbox 360
Resident Evil 5 – PS3 vs Xbox 360
You knew it was coming and while certain elements still falsely attempt to discredit Eurogamer they are still the only site that is technically above reproach when it comes to these comparisons.
So when they sat down and compared Resident Evil 5 on the PS3 and Xbox 360 which one came out tops?
"while PS3 owners still get a decent enough version, it's the Xbox 360 rendition that is clearly the more attractive, solid and more playable game"
Succinct and to the point, the Xbox 360 is the superior version when it comes to Resident Evil 5.
They do however still state that the PS3 version is enjoyable enough and if all your friends are playing on a PS3 then get the PS3 version as the co-op section of Resident Evil 5 is most probably its best attribute.

That same month, ITV announced they had acquired the rights to air The Voice UK for three additional series, as well as plans for two series' of The Voice Kids and a spin-off series to air on ITV2, to begin airing in 2017.

Why Seventh-day Adventists Are Not Fundamentalists
January 8 / News / No Comments / NAD • Takoma Park, Maryland, United States • / Marcos Paseggi
Adventist historians conference opens with enlightening presentations.
Seventh-day Adventists are not fundamentalists," said Andrews University Church History professor Nicholas Miller in the opening plenary of the "Situating Adventist History" conference on the campus of Washington Adventist University in Takoma Park, Maryland, United States, on Jan. 8. The Association of Seventh-day Adventist Historians event, sponsored by the Office of Archives, Statistics, and research and Washington Adventist University, brought dozens of Seventh-day Adventist historians, researchers, and professors together for two days of presentations, Q&A sessions, and discussions.

Miller's presentation, entitled "Adventism, Fundamentalism, and the Bible," provided historical evidence that shows how Adventism, while a Conservative movement, has for the most part being able to steer away from some of the fundamentalist pitfalls, adopting a more balanced approach to various issues, including the inspiration of Scripture. It is something, said Miller, that is rooted in the ideas that influenced the early history of the denomination, something that underlines the importance of researching Adventist history.
Why Should Adventists Care About History
Seventh-day Adventist world church Director of Archives, Statistics, and Research David Trim agreed. In his opening remarks, he said that while research in Adventist history has skyrocketed in the last few decades, it is essential to provide context to many of those studies. "Adventist history is being transformed," he said, "but we need to contextualize, to put it in a wider context," he said.
Why? In an interview on the sidelines of the conference, Trim explained that to understand themselves, it is essential Seventh-day Adventists are aware of the forces that shaped what they are today, and how some of those forces are still influencing the way they act and the decisions they make. "[Adventists] do not exist in a vacuum," he said. "[They] are part of a specific set of geographical and historical circumstances which affects their plans and projects, even the way they see their mission."
Far from Fundamentalism
In this regard, Miller's presentation mentioned some of the ideas that provide background and influenced early Adventism. He specifically referred to three notions that, he believes, shaped the thinking of Adventist pioneers. "Pioneers did not believe absolute proof was needed to understand truth. They believed in the role of judgment for apprehending truth," he said as a first point.
Miller also explained that unlike fundamentalists, Adventist pioneers, including church co-founder Ellen G. White, believed that apprehending truth was based on God's Word, but that it was also possible to get important insights from "the book of nature," and "in experiencing God's working in human lives." It is something, he said, that allowed Adventist pioneers to arrive at different conclusions from other Christian fundamentalists on topics such as eternal punishment, women speaking in church, and slavery, to name a few.
Finally, early Adventists were influenced by the notion of God's moral government as an interpretive presupposition, which according to Miller, calls for seeing problematic Bible verses through the lens of God's goodness. "So, for instance, when the Bible spoke about eternal fire," said Miller, "early Adventists looked for alternative explanations, since they understood that a good God would never punish His children for eternity."
"All of this makes Adventism a different religious stream than fundamentalism," he said.
Conservative and Pragmatic
Underlying this dynamic development of Adventist understanding, Miller discussed some historical Adventist tensions regarding the idea of inspiration. While fundamentalists have usually defended the verbal inerrancy of Scripture—i.e., that the Bible lacks error in every way in all matters—, Seventh-day Adventists, for the most part, have not. "Seventh-day Adventists take a high view of Scripture, but do not believe in the verbal inerrancy of it," he said. The same applies to White's writings. She herself did not support it, said Miller.

After Ellen G. White's death in 1915, her son William White tried to keep alive his mother's view on inspiration, opposing movements supporting verbal inerrancy, said Miller. But the rise of liberal Christian thought encouraged Adventist leaders to side with fundamentalists on many topics over the next couple of decades, and the idea of verbal inerrancy infiltrated in the church. "It is something that ended up shifting the church's approach to race and women, for instance, that to that point had been pragmatically progressive."
Currently, we live in an era of growing internationalism in Adventism, said Miller. "Against that backdrop, we have a Conservative church, but time and again it has proved it is not a fundamentalist one," he concluded.
Alec Ryrie, a professor and author at the University of Durham, England, seemed to agree with Miller's thesis. In discussing the place of Adventism in Protestant history, he said that Adventism avoided the pitfalls that sunk other movements.
"Historically, Protestant movements distrusted governments—they refused to get involved in politics, or they just ignored government altogether," said Ryrie. "But Seventh-day Adventists chose a different way. They talked about voting and participating in government. And in the American Civil War, while opposing slavery, they spoke against both sides of the dispute."
The same applies to apocalyptic thought. After Jesus did not return to Earth in 1844, Adventists avoided either choosing other dates or moving away from apocalyptic thought. "Seventh-day Adventists chose a third option," said Ryrie, who is not an Adventist Church member himself. "They explained the date was correct, but not the event."
Ryrie believes that unlike other denominations, part of the Adventist success is that it has managed to hold on to apocalyptic thought without becoming unbalanced. "Adventism is essentially pragmatic," he said.

Bruce D. Thatcher is founder of History Speaks Today, a project dedicated to sharing elemental truths learned from accomplishments and failures of those in our past, to help us avoid making the same mistakes again and again. He is also author of that project's first three books – Adamant Aggressors: How to Recognize and Deal with Them and Immigration: How to Avoid its Perils and Make it Work and Rise and Decline: Where We Are and What We Can Do About It.
Thatcher has had a passion for history throughout his varied career. Check out Bruce Thatcher's bio. In each business he conducted, he gathered facts and insights on how past problems and issues had been addressed. He truly believes that much can be learned and applied from successes and failures of our past. On his web site and in his talks he clarifies what we should learn and adopt from the handling and mishandling of issues within national security, national solidarity, national continuity, social progress, immigration and other crucial areas of stumbling by nations' leaders.
Early on he recognized a reality confronting many of the world's government leaders, a reality that affects their national securities … even existentially! That reality is 'adamant aggressors' exist, and some of them are in positions of significant power. Adamant Aggressors: How to Recognize and Deal with Them , released in 2011, is a collection of historical cases that demonstrate unassailable do's and don'ts for dealing with today's international threats. In 2018, these five cases were distilled into separate e-book digests for busy readers.
While researching that first book, Thatcher came across cases of mishandled immigration that led to disastrous consequences. Because immigration impacts practically every government and business in the world today – their economy, their social systems, their national security, etc., it became a natural subject for the second HST book, Immigration: How to Avoid its Perils and Make it Work , released in 2012.
The third HST book was published in 2017. Rise and Decline: Where We Are and What We Can Do About It examines the history of four expired nations to validate the premise that rejection of the basic values on which a nation is founded leads inexorably to decline and extinction. Rise and Decline then applies those lessons to two existing nations that are in decline – the United Kingdom and the United States of America.
Thatcher grew up in the mid-west, and graduated from Iowa State College and the University of Chicago. He worked in marketing and management with General Electric and The Vendo Company, then founded and led a telecommunications consulting firm, TelCon Associates, for 30 years until his retirement.
While living in the Chicago area, he became involved in politics and was elected to a local high school Board of Education, serving a term as its President. Later, he served on the national Board of Directors of Literacy Volunteers of America and taught classes at Avila University, William Jewel College and the University of Missouri at Kansas City.
Now retired from business, Thatcher and his wife, Carol, live near New Braunfels, Texas.
Bruce Thatcher is available for interviews about the HST Books and their subjects, about Americans' understanding of history, and about the teaching of history in our schools. Media members and journalists may contact Bruce Thatcher directly for interview requests.

Meet the new lab that's focused on making aircraft systems lighter
Cutting-edge facility extends tradition of engineering innovation
UTC Aerospace Systems employees in its recently opened innovation lab serve as a central engineering resource for the entire company.
In 2015 UTC Aerospace Systems engineers earned 866 patents. Today a new Windsor Locks lab offers them access to the next wave of advanced technology.
There are a lot of amazing things happening on a daily basis at inside UTC Aerospace Systems' 280-acre Windsor Locks flagship site. But now a new heart beats within the site, providing the 3,500 employees there with the technological lifeblood they need to be the best aerospace systems company in the world.
Opened in February, the new Materials & Process Engineering (MPE) lab is the state-of-the-art result of $8 million in funding and more than two years of planning. Within the walls of the MPE lab, 750 UTC Aerospace Systems engineers work with some of the most cutting-edge capabilities available today, such as additive manufacturing (or as it is better known, 3-D printing), high-temperature composites and nanomaterials.
The lab not only provides engineers with the tools they need to react to an always-evolving world. It is also a central resource that is able to support all aspects of the company. For example, engineers who build brakes in Ohio can come to the innovation lab and work there to advance their work.
For the thousands of engineers who combine to drive the world's largest supplier of aircraft systems — and the millions of people who step foot in an airplane every day — that's a big deal.
"The advanced materials and manufacturing capabilities offered by the new innovation lab allow us to develop lighter, highly efficient components and systems benefiting the next generation of airplanes and their passengers," explained Venkat Vedula, Senior Director, Materials Engineering, UTC Aerospace Systems.

The special issue of the Flag Bulletin entitled "Flags of Non-Russian Peoples Under Soviet Rule" by Prof. Walter Trembicky with contributions by Whitney Smith and Karlis Dzirkalis (Vol VIII, No. 3, Summer 1969) included flag information on Turkestan, which includes Bukhara, Khiva, Kokand and Alash Orda. The information given is that of the post-czarist, pre-Soviet period (c1917-1924).
In December, 1917, the Kokand Autonomous State became independent under Mustafa Chokai-Beg who hoisted a flag modeled on the Turkish flag, Red over Dark Blue with the star and crescent in the center.
Bukhara became independent in April 1917 under an emir (not named in the FB). The flag shown is a Royal Standard; a three pointed light green flag with an orange border bearing black ornamentation; in the center is a star and crescent over the hand of Fatima, in gold, with the name of the emir written in arabic script near the hoist and the "shahada" near the fly, also in gold. Orange cloth wrapped around the pole secured the flag and bore black diamond shapes; the three points of the flag also had black diamond shaped tassels. The staff was painted green with a gold spearhead and crescent emblem at the top.
When the emir fled to Afghanistan, the Bukharan Social People's Republic was established. It was reported to have flown a red flag with a crescent in the center and the initials of the state in Cyrillic letters in the hoist. Probably these emblems were white or gold.
According to the extracts of the State Constitution that can be found in the Flag Bulletin Vol. XI, No. 1, Winter 1972 ("Soviet State Symbolism: Flags and Arms of the USSR and its Constituent parts, 1917-1971"), the Bukharan People's Soviet Republic flag adopted September 23, 1921 was Green over Red with "a design in the middle of them of a gold crescent, inside of which is situated a gold five-pointed star. On the upper green cloth, in the left corner near the staff, shall be placed the letters 'BNSR'."
A new constitution adopted October 11, 1923 changed the background of the flag to all red. On November 19, 1924 the name of the state was changed to the Bukharan Siviet Socialist Republic and presumably the initials on the flag also changed to 'BSSR' but the state was overthrown on the 24th of that same month by the Uzbek SSR Temporary Revolutionary Committee.
The Alash Orda State which existed December 1917-May 1919, is supposed to have had a red flag with a yellow star and crescent. The article in FB VIII:3 also states that in Alash Orda, as in other parts of Turkestan, a green flag with a white crescent and star was sometimes used.
The flag of the Khivan Khanate in the pre-Soviet period is unknown.
At Samarkand in September 1921, the Union of Central Asian Islamic National Insurgent Organizations instituted an all-Turkestani flag. This flag was accepted by the Turkestani state constitution in April 1922 and was very popular and used until January 1924 when the last part of Turkestani territory fell to the Red Army. The flag consisted of nine alternating stripes of 5 red and 4 white, with an orange rectangle, bearing a white star and crescent, located next to the hoist between the two upper and two lower stripes. Around all four sides of the flag was a very narrow light blue border. The pole was topped by a Wolf's Head.
The article has more information about this flag and its symbolism, which I will abstract and send to the list along with some gifs of the Kokand, Bukharan, Alash Orda and Turkestan flags. The Bukharan Emirate flag is very complicated and will have to wait until I can find a scanner I can use.
The Kokand Autonomous Government fell in the Winter of 1918. Below is an excerpt from a paper I have written which explains the history of the Kokand government.
Beginning in January of 1917 mass protests against the Tsarist government occurred in the Russian of capital Petrograd and in the city of Moscow. The riots became epidemic and on February 27th the Tsar abdicated. A provisional government was formed while the Bolsheviks refused to participate and instead they set up Soviets in major urban centers. The February Revolution of 1917 left Central Asia with no central government to report. As a result a political vacuum formed in Central Asia and the region was swept back into chaos. Tsarist officials in Central Asia reacted to the czar's downfall by forming the "Turkestan Committee" which was contrasted by the Bolsheviks, composed mostly of Russian settlers and railway workers, who formed the Tashkent Soviet. The result was two fold: first, the rival Tsarist and Bolshevik camps soon started fighting, and second, the lack of Muslim representation in either camp forced the indigenous population to organize their own defense. The Muslim intelligentsia responded by forming the "Extraordinary all-Muslim Conference" which took place in Tashkent and demanded Muslim autonomy for Central Asia within a Russian federated republic. In addition, peaceful demonstrations of Muslims took place in Tashkent demanding Muslim autonomy. The heart of the Muslim response was in the Fergana Valley where in early November 1917 a fourth meeting of the "Extraordinary Regional Muslim Congress" took place and it was decide to form a Muslim based government. The new government was under the leadership of Mustafa Chokayev and was named the "Provisional Government of Autonomous Turkestan", also know as the "Kokand government", named after the city which housed the new Muslim authority. The Kokand government was formed in response to Vladimir Lenin's appeal "to the Muslims of Turkestan" to rise against the Czarist government and allow the Muslims "self-determination according to [Central Asia's] model." The capacity of the Kokand government was limited by the fact that it represented only a small area within the Fergana Valley centered around the city of Kokand rather than the whole of Russian Turkestan. In addition, the "Kokand government" was situated in Russian Turkistan, the area under direct Russian control, and therefore it had a minor affect on populaces of the Khanates of Khiva and Bukhara. But the fate of Central Asia depended on the success of the Kokand government.
The formation of the Kokand government coincided with rebellion against Russian rule throughout the Muslim areas of the Russian Empire. Bashkurdistan had declared territorial autonomy in January of 1918 and was followed by the Tatars declaring autonomy and the creation of the Azerbaijan Republic in the spring of 1918. Despite Lenin's plea for Muslim self-determination the Kokand government was seen as a threat by the Tashkent Soviet, which acted independent of the Bolshevik leadership. Consequently the Muslim authorities in Kokand appealed to the Bolsheviks in Petrograd for aid but the response they received from Lenin's deputy, Joshep Stalin, was that if the Muslim population were feed up with the Tashkent Soviet then they ought to eliminate it themselves through force. Stalin's response only intensified the Tashkent Soviet's dislike of the Kokand government and in January 1918 the Tashkent Soviet declared the Kokand government 'counter revolutionary' and it passed a resolution declaring war on the Kokand government. On January 30, 1918 the forces of the Tashkent Soviet laid siege to Kokand, whose populace was using hunting rifles to defend themselves. On 20 February the city of Kokand and the government within fell after only three months in power. The Soviet troops proceeded to massacre at least 5,000 of the cities population and in the process enrage the Muslim populous and elicited a spontaneous uprising throughout the Fergana Valley. The Tashkent Soviet responded by plundering the Fergana Valley and ordering the confiscation of cotton, the stable of the region's economy. By April of 1918 there was full blown revolt amongst the Muslims in the Fergana Valley. These initial uprising in the Fergana Valley marked the beginning of the Basmachi movement.
Enver Pasha directed the Young Turks of "Union and Progress". After World War I, he 1918 fled to Germany and later to Moscow, where he was sent to Central Asia to convince the Muslim peoples that the communism was good. Enver, secretly a Bolchevik enemy, arrived to the Bukhara republic and allied himself with the local leader (progesist) Pulat Khodja, president of the Republic, who held power after the fall of the emir. Pulat asserted the independence of the republic and with Enver created a Pan-Turkish movement originating from Bukhara, with the help of the strong movement Pan-Turkish in the former Russian Turkestan, which was named basmachi. The movement of the Pan-Turkish (Basmachis) started 1921, adopted a flag in Samarcanda in September 1921, in a meeting of the "Insurgent National Organization of the Islamic Cenrtral Asia". They formally adopted the Constitution of the republic of Turkestan (frequently named in the cronicles PANTURANIA) in April 1922. The flag was very popular and was in use until the end of the movement in January 1924.
In November 1921, Enver travelled to Eastern Bukhara, officially for fight against the emir partisans, but in reality negotiated a treaty with the emir partisans (with the aprobation of the own emir). Dushambe, capital of the zone that was in hands of the bolcheviks, was taken 16 February 1922.
The constitution of the Republic of Turkestan was published April 1922. On 14 June 1922, the bolcheviks retook Dushambe, and soon after entered Bukhara. Enver fled to the mountains. The basmachis were defeated in Baljuam 1 August, and Enver died 4 August 1922 in the minor battle of Obdara. Salim Pasha continued the struggle but fled to Afghanistan (15 July 1923). The last basmachi warriors, retreating to the Ferghana Valley (1923-1924), were directed by the famous Kurshermat and used a different flag: red with shahadda, crescent and eight five-pointed stars in the canton, all in white, reported in Flag Bulletin 95.
Prior to the basmachi movement in Turkestan the local bolcheviks created the Soviet Republic of Turkestan 30 April 1918 (later a federated soviet republic 11 April 1921). The republic was dissolved 27 Octuber 1924 when five national republics were created.
The flag has the orange color, attributed to the Turks, with the Turkey flag and nine bars (five red and four white) representing the various turkish peoples (Azeries, Othoman, Kirguiz, Kazaks, Turkomans, Uzbeks, Tatars, Karakapaks and Eastern Turkomans); the blue border probably representing the minorities, specially the Russians. The ratio appears to have been 3:5.

Rachael is a consultant anaesthetist at Bristol Royal Infirmary specialising in anaesthesia for maxillofacial and thoracic surgery. For the past decade she has also worked as a volunteer with Médecins Sans Frontières and is also the anaesthesia lead for the UK International Emergency Trauma Register.
Through this volunteer work she has gained extensive experience working in and setting up field hospitals, in post disaster and conflict situations, ranging from the Asian Tsunami to the Haiti earthquake and from the machetes of Congolese militias to the high explosives of the 2014 bombardment of Gaza.
In addition to her overseas work Rachael is heavily involved in medical education: she is the course director for the Anaesthesia in Austere Environments course, Anaesthesia lead for the Surgery in Austere Environments course, faculty for the Oxford-Uganda developing world anaesthesia course, a contributing author to the ABC of Emergency Medicine in Austere Environments, the Oxford Handbook of Expedition and Wilderness Medicine and the Association of Anaesthetists eSafe dvd and content editor for the Royal College of Anaesthetists eLearning Anaesthesia developing world module.
In 2014 she was awarded the Pask Certificate of Honour by the Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Northern Ireland for distinguished service to anaesthesia during conflict overseas.
The Pask Award was instituted in 1977 after the Moorgate Underground disaster. The award is made by Council. The certificates may be presented on any suitable occasion. The award was instituted to enable Council to honour those who have rendered distinguished service, either with gallantry in the performance of their clinical duties, in a single meritorious act or consistently and faithfully over a long period.
The award was named after Professor E A Pask. Pask had a distinguished career in the Royal Air Force Medical Branch as an experimental physiologist in the Second World War. This included dangerous self experimentation requiring considerable personal courage.
The event is the Diabetes UK Channel Swim Relay and this year is our biggest yet!
Diabetes UK are now looking for medics to support each relay team (eleven in total). This will involve being on a boat in the English Channel for upwards of 18 hours, providing medical assistance to the swimmers should they need it. A number of the swimmers have diabetes so experience of dealing with the condition is preferable, although not essential.
Likely problems are sea sickness, over-exposure to cold (possible hypothermia), jellyfish stings, etc. Those with diabetes will be used to controlling the condition whilst swimming but it's good to have back-up just in case.
Medics will also be required to provide moral support to the swimmers as whilst a very exciting challenge, it is likely that they will all need a bit of encouragement at points!
Medics will be required to provide medical supplies. All expenses will be covered.

Malcolm D. Lee Takes Over As Director On 'Space Jam 2'
Jake Gyllenhaal, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Anton Corbijn Get Berlin Festival Jury Duty
December 19, 2011 7:26am
Jake Gyllenhaal will join president Mike Leigh's jury for the upcoming Berlin Film Festival, organizers announced Monday — just after naming a handful of competition and out-of-competition titles. The rest of the judging panel is a diverse group that includes Control and The American director Anton Corbijn; Iranian director and writer Asghar Farhadi, whose A Separation won the Golden Bear in Berlin earlier this year; Franco-British actress and Lars von Trier muse Charlotte Gainsbourg; French director François Ozon, who has appeared several times in the fest; award-winning Algerian writer Boualem Sansal; and veteran German actress Barbara Sukowa. Leigh was named jury president earlier this month. The festival's 62nd edition runs February 9-19, 2012.


Two of the star equine attractions line up on day three of the Cheltenham Festival, but while Thistlecrack's popularity in the betting for the Ryanair World Hurdle continues, bookmakers are ready to take on Vautour in the Ryanair Chase, and he is a morning drifter in that Grade 1 event, and we pick out all the market movers here.
A competitive Grade 1 opens proceedings at Prestbury Park, and punters are struggling to pick between the prominent trio of Bristol De Mai, Garde La Victorie and Outlander in the JLT Novices' Chase, but Zabana, who was tipped up by Racing Post's Pricewise at 12/1, has been clipped in a few points and he is now a best-priced 9/1 with Sky Bet Bookmakers for a real head-scratching curtain-raiser.
All Hell Let Loose scraped in at the bottom of the handicap for the Pertemps Final at 2:10pm, but Sandra Hughes' charge has been all the rage in the betting offices this morning, and having been tipped up at 50/1 this morning by Pricewise, he has plummeted in price, and is currently available at 20/1 with Sky Bet for the second race of the afternoon.
Our Kaempfer is another that has proven popular and having been available at prices as big as 12/1 he is now as short as 15/2 with the abovementioned Sky Bet, who are running scared of what could be another attractively handicapped horse.
Vautour's appearance in Thursday's Ryanair Chase has divided opinion, but having been available at odds-on prices for the second Grade 1 of the day, he has been the horse the bookmakers have been out to get and having been a 4/6 shot with many bookmakers, he has gradually eased and is now available at 11/10 with Paddy Power, as he looks to bag his third festival win.
On the contrary, Thistlecrack's price of 5/4 has been solid as a rock in the Ryanair World Hurdle, as he aims to maintain his status as the elite staying hurdler, and having blossomed in the Cleeve Hurdle last time out punters are keen to stick with Colin Tizzard's charge, with no other rivals gaining any significant support in the betting.
David Pipe's Doctor Harper has been supported into favouritism in the days leading up to the Kim Muir Challenge Cup, which concludes a top notch card at 5:30pm, but Jonjo O'Neill's Upswing has proven popular and available at 12/1 in a place earlier in the day, he is now 7/1 with Betfred for what is another trappy betting heat.

Forward Movement Announces New Video Curriculum on Science and Faith
Are science and faith compatible? Ordained scientists in The Episcopal Church offer insight on this sometimes controversial question through a new groundbreaking video curriculum offered by Forward Movement, now available for free download. The curriculum, offered in partnership with the Committee on Science, Technology and Faith, invites a sense of wonder and discovery to play a part in building care for creation in our faith communities.
In the Beginning explores the Bible's basic doctrine of creation, the modern scientific worldview, perspectives on the Big Bang and evolution, and the biblical roots for environmental care. The Rev. Stephanie Johnson says it is a "thoughtful, engaging invitation into a deeper understanding of all God's Creation." Featured clergy-scientists include Katharine Jefferts Schori— former Presiding Bishop and oceanographer; Nicholas Knisely—the Bishop of Rhode Island and physicist; Rev. Lucas Mix—evolutionary biologist; Rev. Alistair So—microbiologist; and the Rev. Stephanie Johnson—environmentalist.
Day Smith Pritchartt, executive director of The Episcopalian Evangelism Society says, "As an evangelism effort, it speaks to those who are passionate about the environment but may not know that people of faith are, too. For those who are within the church but struggling to reconcile their faith with science, it gives them a creed that embraces both."
In the Beginning serves as an excellent platform for a Sunday School or adult formation course. The curriculum serves as a deeper exploration of A Catechism of Creation, a downloadable document that explores The Episcopal Church's understanding of creation in the traditional question-and-answer format. A Catechism of Creation is available for free download at http://tinyurl.com/CatechismOfCreation. Four weeks of free downloadable lesson plans, discussion questions, and links to downloadable videos for each class are available here.
Forward Movement is a ministry of The Episcopal Church located in Cincinnati, Ohio. Since 1935 we have produced resources to inspire disciples and empower evangelists around the globe.
