'I'm Still Governor', Umahi Accuses Judge Of Embarrassing APC

JUST IN: 'I'm Still Governor', Umahi Accuses Judge Of Embarrassing APC
Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State
By Nabob Ogbonna, Abakaliki
Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State has declared that he is still in office, accusing Justice Inyang Ekwo of attempting to embarrass the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Daily Trust had reported how a Federal High Court in Abuja sacked Umahi, his deputy and 15 members of the Ebonyi assembly.
Speaking at a press conference in Abakaliki, capital of Ebonyi, on Tuesday, Umahi accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of procuring the judgement.
Umahi said, "I am still the Governor of Ebonyi State and there is no tension at all. In the first place, there is no constitutional provision for any hatchet man to remove a governor.
"There are three ways whereby a governor can vacate his office: it is either by death, resignation and impeachment. There is no other constitutional provision that empowers a hatchet man to turn the Constitution upside down.
"I have listened to the judgement of Inyang Ekwo and it's very obvious that he was on a mission. He was making all effort to upturn the rulings of the Appeal and Supreme Courts, on issues like this.
"We have heard the rumours before now that he was determined to give judgement against all known laws and the Constitution, first to embarrass the APC, and to equally embarrass the Federal Government.
"For me, I do not feel worried; but, I feel so bad for the judicial in Nigeria. The executives may have problems; the legislature may have problems, but the moment justice could be purchased, then we are in trouble in Nigeria.
"It's obvious that the ruling this afternoon is clear evidence that this country is in trouble. And let me tell you, this same judge, has over ten cases against the Ebonyi State Government with him. And you can imagine what he is going to rule.
"We have petitioned him to NJC and we will follow it up to the end to ensure that this man (Ekwo) is brought to justice. I want you to disregard the judgement because it's null and void."

2nd stage of the Rail Baltica mainline construction procurement in Latvia announced
Published: 07.09.2022.
Rail Baltica Industry news
Development of requirements for the 2nd second stage of the Rail Baltica mainline construction procurement in Latvia announced is completed, and qualified candidates are invited to submit technical and financial offers. This milestone marks a significant step that has been taken so that the Rail Baltica mainline construction in Latvia can be started in 2023.
Entering the 2nd stage of the procurement, work continues with five construction companies' associations. Development of requirements for this stage has an extra complexity considering that the works included in the procurement foresee infrastructure construction of the Rail Baltica mainline on the territory of Latvia outside the borders of the city of Riga - the railway base and superstructure - over a length of 200 km.
Construction works include site preparation, embankment, construction of railway bridges, roads and overpasses, relocation of engineering networks and construction of tracks. Construction works will not only combine many complex construction elements but will also be the largest construction of railway infrastructure in Latvia.
Requirements of the tender include experience gained from the previously carried out tenders for the construction of the Rail Baltica Central Hub and the station and surrounding infrastructure at Riga International Airport, as well as from other Rail Baltica tenders being carried out in other Baltic countries. The contract will be based on the FIDIC Red Book, an internationally recognised and globally used form of contract, applied in accordance with generally accepted practice to the implementation principles set out for the Rail Baltica global project.
Considering that final Rail Baltica construction designs are still under development and are therefore not fully completed before the announcement of procurement's 2nd stage, Eiropas Dzelzceļa līnijas - Rail Baltica national implementing body in Latvia and also the company in charge organizing the tender - will apply the so-called re-measurement contract mechanism instead of lumpsum allowing that payments are made according to the volumes of the completed works, using unit prices and preventing overpayments. Also, based on the internationally spread early involvement method, the construction company will be involved already in the design phase.
Requirements for the candidates are defined both for the starting and carrying out the construction works, as well as for the commissioning of the infrastructure after several years of construction, demonstrating a long-term view on how the operations of the newly built railway could be started. In the view of changing prices in the construction sector, an indexation mechanism is foreseen, which, given the current situation with material prices, will enable the contracting authority to avoid risks related to the price fluctuation.
Candidates' technical and financial proposals must be submitted by 31 October this year. The Procurement Commission will select the technically and economically most advantageous proposal. The evaluation criteria for the technical proposal also include such parameters as reducing the environmental impact of the expected works, such as reduction of emissions generated by the construction machinery, use of reusable materials, etc., as well as choice of solutions that ensure a longer service life.
Following the completion of the tender, it is planned that construction works outside Riga will start in 2023, after the approval of construction designs of the specific stages. Construction works will be carried out in a priority manner - in the direction from Riga Airport to the Lithuanian border and from the Salaspils Intermodal Freight Terminal towards direction of Lithuania. By implementing such a construction strategy, the European gauge connection will initially provide rail access to Riga Airport and the Salaspils Intermodal Freight Terminal, ensuring a connection with to Estonia in the next stage.
The first construction works are planned in Bauska Municipality near Iecava, where the future Rail Baltica infrastructure maintenance facility will be located. During the construction of Rail Baltica, this maintenance facility will be used as a construction logistics base, providing storage for construction materials, equipment, and construction machinery, as well as enable performance of the necessary preparation and processing work. Railway will be used to transport the construction materials by constructing a connection with the existing 1520 mm gauge network. With the construction logistics base in place, the next works are likely to start with the objects of the highest level of engineering and technical complexity – bridges over the Iecava and Mēmele rivers.
Please note that this tender is being held alongside an international tender for engineering consultancy and construction supervision services for the construction works of the Rail Baltica main line in Latvia.

Aircraft operators deserve protection and peace of mind to focus on serving their customers and with more than 6,300 Boeing® 737 Next Generation (737NG) aircraft in service, it's more important than ever to have access to the right parts to keep them flying.
HAT recently acquired all of the airframe component inventory from 737-700 aircraft MSN 30275. The airframe components will be re-certified and available for sale or exchange from the new Honeywell Distribution Center in Phoenix.
This strategic acquisition follows prior 737NG inventory investments from five airframes in 2016, enabling HAT to provide complete inventory support to its 737NG customers.
The Honeywell trading group operation was established in 2001 and has been growing in importance in the past few years as the retirement of younger airplanes accelerates with corresponding growth in the aircraft dismantling service industry. Earlier this year, the group relocated its Phoenix operation to a larger facility in order to improve its distribution infrastructure and expand inventory.
HAT serves the commercial air transport, business and general aviation, defense industries, original equipment manufacturers (OEM), helicopters and aircraft maintenance providers.

Q: self-signed SSL certificate on GCE -- 'SSL certificate could not be parsed' I have a website, say mySite.com running on Google Cloud Engine, a Debian virtual machine. I'm looking to install SSL certificate on this site so that Firefox won't be showing the security error on login field for one thing (not well familiar with web security – excuse the naive wording)

I'm aware that SSL should be signed by a Central Authority (CA), and for this, i can either i.) pay&get it signed by a known CA, or ii.) create a CA myself and sign my own certification without paying anything.
I am now trying the second option to see first how things work on GCE, and whether it's sufficient for my purposes – that is, self-certified SSL would provide the security on GCE.
I followed the commands on openSSL sign https_client certificate with CA and successfully ran the following in order:
// Generate CA key and cert:
openssl genrsa -out msite.CA.key 2048
openssl req -x509 -new -key msite.CA.key -days 3650 -out msite.CA.pem -subj '/C=AA/ST=aa/L=aaa/O=msite/OU=msite/CN=aa/emailAddress=sth'

// Generate client key and csr:
openssl genrsa -out mySite.com.key 2048
openssl req -new -key mySite.com.key -out mySite.com.csr -subj '/C=BB/ST=bb/L=bb/O=msite/OU=msite/CN=bb/emailAddress=bbb'

// Generate client cert signed with CA cert:
openssl x509 -req -days 365 -CA msite.CA.pem -CAkey msite.CA.key -CAcreateserial -CAserial serial -in mySite.com.csr -out mySite.com.pem

// verify:
openssl verify -verbose -CAfile msite.CA.pem mySite.com.pem
// the output to this is "mySite.com.pem: OK"

All seemed ok so far – all of the above commands ran without any errors. At this point, I ran the following (command from https://cloud.google.com/load-balancing/docs/ssl-certificates)
gcloud compute ssl-certificates create mysertificatee \
--certificate mySite.com.csr \
--private-key mySite.com.key

and got the error:
ERROR: (gcloud.compute.ssl-certificates.create) Some requests did not succeed:
- The SSL certificate could not be parsed.

What is the cause of the error? How to fix it?

A: gcloud compute ssl-certificates create mysertificatee \
--certificate mySite.com.csr \
--private-key mySite.com.key

The argument for --certificate should be the certificate, i.e. mySite.com.pem. Instead the CSR mySite.com.csr was given.

Jesus and the Resurrection
TECHNIQUES OF THE WORLD SAVIORS: Jesus and the Resurrection
by Toby Johnson
from The Myth of the Great Secret: An Appreciation of Joseph Campbell (Celestial Arts, 1990)
This article has 4 parts. This is the third part
Jesus--a world savior like the Buddha or the Bodhisattva and a battler with the world and its suffering like Brer Rabbit and Prince Five-weapons--discovered that the way to overcome the world and the flesh was to embrace it; the way to overcome death was to die. Jesus was nailed to a cross. The cross, extending in the four directions of the compass, represented the physical world. Jesus suffered five wounds by which his senses were crucified on the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The fruit of that tree, when eaten by Adam, resulted in the vision of the polarities which trapped him and all his offspring in the world of suffering. Crucifixion on that tree resulted for Jesus in the vision beyond the polarities.
The story of the confirmation to Thomas the Apostle, who said he would not believe in Jesus' return until he had placed his own hands in Jesus' wounds, is the only indication in Scripture that Jesus had been nailed to his cross. Elsewhere it is simply reported he was crucified. As almost every depiction of the scene shows of the two thieves, victims of crucifixion were ordinarily tied by the arms to a horizontal beam and left to die, usually of asphixiation when the weight of the hanging body caused the muscles in the chest and diaphragm to go into spasm.
But Jesus is said to have suffered five wounds: in the hands and feet, caused by nails with which he was affixed to the cross, and in the heart, caused by a spear with which he was stabbed by the Roman Centurion, who seems to have been a believer, to make certain he was dead (and, incidentally, to drain the blood from his body as required in the preparation of the Passover lamb). The crucifixion was cut short and the men killed because it was necessary to dispose of their bodies. The feast of Passover was beginning and Jews would be forbidden to prepare graves.
The five wounds were significant of the opening of the senses by which the vision of the Kingdom could be regained. Five "wounds" appear similarly on the body of Tara, the goddess of compassion, born of a tear of the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara. She bears openings in her hands and feet and in her forehead; from within Tara's wounds eyes look out to see the mystically transformed world.
On the cross, Jesus said, at least partially in the ritual language of Hebrew, words that have perplexed many Christians: Eli, eli, lema sabacthani. And (according to the two Gospels that record this story) he then gave up his spirit to God. These are the opening words of the Twenty-second Psalm, a prayer that is part of a cycle of texts that refer to the "suffering servant," the just man who, though innocent, takes upon himself the sins of the people, becoming the scapegoat to suffer for them, once for all. Jesus' intonation of the words, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" was not a sign of his despair. It was very truly his recitation of what in a different context we know as the Bodhisattva's vow.
By the merit of his act he became more than just a man trapped in space and time. He became, as he prayed in the priestly prayer in the Saint John Gospel, one with all humanity. And he was crowned, with a crown of thorns and briars, King of the Universe, Savior of the World.
To Dismas, the good thief, Jesus declared: "This day you are with me in Paradise." The word in Scripture is Paradise, not heaven; it was the word for the Garden in Genesis. Jesus seems to have been declaring not that Dismas would enter some ethereal afterlife, but that, because he had recognized he was responsible for his own acts and deserved crucifixion and, unlike the other thief, did not taunt Jesus to free him, Dismas' cross had also become the tree of life and to him also was restored the vision of the Garden.
Jesus' words to Dismas that the willingness to accept responsibility for one's own acts restored one to Paradise, and Jesus' own willingness to go beyond that to accept responsibility for the acts of the whole world, reveal an essential meaning of the myth of the crucifixion. The Christian message, similar to yet differently inflected from the Buddhist, is at least on one level that, while the suffering of the world may not be escaped, it can be transcended. In the Gnostic Acts of John, leading the Apostles in a kind of mystic dance, Jesus instructed them: "Learn how to suffer and you shall be able not to suffer." And that is accomplished by taking responsibility for the world in all its manifestations, by embracing it in oneself and in others as the means by which the senses can be opened, by accepting things just as they are without resistance, by practicing compassion not condemnation. This is more consistent with Jesus' practical admonitions to forgive sinners and love even one's enemies than with the later tendency of Christians to judge righteously as sinful certain lifestyles and to persecute those who did not adhere to a rigid standard of orthodoxy.
Jesus, unlike many of his followers, saw what Brer Rabbit saw: different people live in different universes and one person's briar patch is another's home; one person's hell is another's heaven; and to be one with the Ultimate, to be one with God, one has to embrace all the heavens and all the hells equally. And so from his perspective as the Christ--the ultimate Self--he was willing to fling himself into the briars. For the road of adventure, the road back to the Garden, leads right into the middle of the briar patch. The briars of Brer Rabbit's escape and the briars of Jesus' crown are one and the same: the occasion to change the way we look at the world.
"In a twinkle we shall all be changed," said Saint Paul.
Not in a twinkle, but in the agony of three hours on the cross and the emptiness of three days in the tomb, Jesus Christ was changed from man to god. His body was transformed, the myth tells, from a body of flesh, which, trapped in individuality by the perspective of the senses, could suffer and die, to a body of light and glory, which, freed from the limitations of perspective, could pass through walls and cover distance in an instant.
The Resurrection is considered the central mystery of Christianity. In it are clues for how to live in the world and in the flesh. That is what the mystery is about. Too frequently, however, the Resurrection is presented not about life in the flesh, but about some sort of disembodied afterlife.
Just as the bodhisattva, in one version of the vow, offers himself as "the food and drink in the famine of the ages' end," so Jesus said his physical body would be meat and his blood drink for his followers so they could enter his Kingdom. He offered himelf as the lamb of the Passover sacrifice. The blood of this lamb, smeared on the doorposts, alerted the Angel of Death to pass over the homes of the chosen people; its flesh fed them during their pilgrimage to the Promised Land. And of his body that would be sacrificed, Jesus said, "If you destroy this temple, I shall build it up again in three days."
The disciples perhaps took his metaphor of reconstruction too literally--an error they made often. They consistently misunderstood his message, expecting in the Kingdom not mystical vision but political accession. And so it was that on the third day after Jesus' death, when they went to the place where his remains had been laid, to their dismay they found only an empty tomb, not a reconstituted Jesus. It must have seemed to them that their Lord had failed to rebuild the temple that had been destroyed or resurrect the victim who had been ritually sacrificed for the new Passover.
But then one by one they began to experience strange events. At unexpected times they felt Jesus' presence. In the gardener on Joseph Arimathea's land, Mary recognized him. In a stranger two of the disciples met on the way to the little town of Emmaus outside Jerusalem, when they sat down to eat together, they experienced him. In a shadowy figure cooking breakfast over a fire by the edge of the sea, to which as sailors they'd returned after Jesus' death, they recognized him. In the upper room in which they'd hidden in fear, the Apostles saw him in a mystical body.
John Dominic Crossan, a Biblical theologian under whom I studied as a Servite in Chicago, argued that the notable differences between the narratives in the four Gospels suggest that the simple physical resuscitation of Jesus was not the real sense of the Resurrection intended by the Evangelists. If, as so many have maintained afterwards, the historicity of such a resuscitation were the central fact of Christianity upon which all else rises or falls, Crossan argued, the accounts should agree in their report of the historical events. After all, the essence of historicity is consistency among witnesses' accounts. But the accounts are not consistent: the Evangelists treated the Resurrection just as they did other events in Jesus' life--not as historical facts--but as symbolic carriers of spiritual and mystical meaning. What the Gospels do agree on is that on the third day the tomb was empty and soon afterwards the disciples experienced mystical phenomena that are variously depicted as apparitions of Jesus, their ability to work wonders, and the descent of the Holy Spirit.
What actually happened to Jesus' body remains a mystery. Perhaps the corpse was reanimated, as most Christians believe. Perhaps it was stolen, as suggested in the Matthew Gospel, by entrepreneurs, hoping it might still possess some healing power or at least bring a small fee from pilgrims. Perhaps it simply disappeared.*
* The bodies of yogis have occasionally bcen reported to dissolve into light or flame at their deaths. Scientific analysis of the mysterious shroud of Turin suggested that the image of the body was formed by some form of scorching radiation. The shroud was believed to have been the burial cloth of Jesus and the radiation would have occurred at the time his body was transformed to light. Further analysis, however, has questioned this explanation because the fibers of the shroud do not appear to date back to Jesus' time. Still, there is no viable explanation of how the image was formed. The shroud of Turin is a curiosity of religious history. Could it be that what formed the image was the belief of all those who came to see it and worship at its shrine? Which is to ask, I suppose, can hoaxes become "real" if they're believed long enough? The scientific answer, of course, is "no." The mystical answer, on the other hand, seems to be "of course." That's where all the myths come from, after all.
Or perhaps the disciples literally consumed the body of Jesus. After all, at the Last Supper Jesus had taken bread and blessed it and given it to his disciples, showing them "This is my body" and instructing them "take and eat." And he had taken a cup of wine and blessed it and given it to them, showing them also "This is the cup of my blood, take and drink." Thus he would be physically present in the disciples' own bodies.
What the Resurrection seems to indicate is that Christ has remained mystically, yet also physically, present. This is, of course, what is meant by the sacrament of the Eucharist. For two millennia the Roman Church has insisted that the eucharistic bread and wine are not merely symbols but are in fact, transsubstantially, the body and blood of Jesus. The revulsion we feel when we consider the cannibalism inherent in this image or in Jesus' rather straightforward instructions at the Last Supper only reveals how little we appreciate sacramentality or understand the meaning of the historicity of the Incarnation. For the historicity of Christianity is itself mythological. The myth of historicity means that spiritual reality is embodied in time and in the flesh. The historical events do not need to have "actually" happened for the notion of their historicity to be meaningful.
In the ancient Roman liturgy of the Easter Vigil, grains of incense were enfixed with stylized wax nails into the five cardinal points of a cross inscribed on the Paschal Candle. The candle represented Christ as the "light of the world." The grains of incense represented the sweetness of the wounds by which the world was transformed. To the right and left of the cross were inscribed the numerals for the current year; above and below, the Greek letters alpha and omega: the cross, which is the acceptance of things just as they are, is formed by the intersection of the temporal and the eternal.
With consciously sexual symbolism recognized by the Church, the priest who prepared the Paschal Candle then plunged it three times, each time deeper, into a pool of water. As he did this, he prayed that the Spirit descend into the water--which, representing the material world transformed, would be used throughout the coming year for baptism--making it fruitful for regeneration so that those who partook of its sacrament would be "born again new children in true innocence."
This ceremony manifests the tradition that Jesus' death fecundated a new earth. This image, in turn, manifests the even older tradition of the slaughtered king or corn god, who sacrificed himself at the end of his reign in order to bring life to the soil upon which his people depended for food.
Some years ago I wandered into the chapel of the Catholic ministry at the University of California at Santa Barbara. Behind the altar hung a huge mural of the crucifixion in stark black and white, like a photo collage. I was stunned by it. The corpus was surrounded by chromosomal and genetic structures on one side and interplanetary and galactic images on the other. Jesus' body was formed of vascular and striated muscle tissue. It stood before and grew into a cross that was a stylization of the female reproductive organs. The arms of the cross were like fallopian tubes. Within an ovarian form on the left crossarm, a skeletal fetus reached out its hand to insert its fingers into the print of the nail in the savior's palm. Above Jesus' face, bowed in life-bestowing death, the spectral hands of the Father blessing his Son formed the head of the phallus by which the Christ was fructifying the material organic world. The painting, by Michael Dvortcsak, was titled in Teilhardian fashion: Christ Invests Himself Organically with the Very Majesty of His Universe.
The sacrifice of the incarnated Self accepting biological and mortal manifestation engenders new life in foetal humankind who reach out, like twin brother Thomas to test the validity of the Resurrection. (In Gnostic Christianity, such as that presented in the non-canonical Gospel of Thomas, the image of the twin signified mystical identity with Jesus the Christ. The confirmation to Thomas signified the Apostle's realization that Jesus was flesh, and not a ghost, in Thomas' own body.) The blessed belief even of those who have not yet seen, but who have believed, transforms the nature of organic existence. Christ died not to enter into a new life by which he could escape the world, but to give us new life by which to experience that world, in the very flesh in which the Christ Self remains forever incarnate.
In promising to "master the immeasurable dharmas," the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara identified himself with all beings. In realizing the radical oneness of all consciousness, he became the one being incarnated in all, the one able to perceive the world from all possible perspectives, the one "divine spark," as Eckhart called it, and the Holy Ghost, as mainstream Christians call it, by which the Godhead is present in every being. Hence Avalokitesvara became savior of the world because he is the only being in the world and he has saved himself, and everyone else, by his realization that none are saved till all are saved, and by his choice to save himself by saving all of us--the ultimate act of enlightened, radical self-interest.
Joseph Campbell wrote of the Bodhisattva:
"Peace is at the heart of all because Avalokitesvara- Kwannon, the mighty Bodhisattva, Boundless Love, includes, regards, and dwells within (without exception) every sentient being. The perfection of the delicate wings of an insect, broken in the passage of time, he regards--and he himself is both their perfection and their disintegration. The perennial agony of man, self-torturing, deluded, tangled in the net of his own tenuous delirium, frustrated, yet having within himself, undiscovered, absolutely unutilized, the secret of release: this too he regards--and is. Serene above man, the angels; below man, the demons and unhappy dead: these all are drawn to the Bodhisattva by the rays of his jewel hands, and they are he, as he is they. The bounded, shackled centers of consciousness, myriadfold, on every plane of existence (not only in this present universe, limited by the Milky Way, but beyond, into the reaches of space), galaxy beyond galaxy, world beyond world of universes, coming into being out of the timeless pool of the void, bursting into life, and like a bubble therewith vanishing: time and time again: lives by the multitude: all suffering: each bounded in the tenuous, tight circle of itself--lashing, killing, hating, and desiring peace beyond victory: these are all the children, the mad figures of the transitory yet inexhaustible, long world dream of the All-Regarding, whose essence is the essence of Emptiness: "The Lord Looking Down in Pity."
But the name means also: "The Lord Who is Seen Within." We are all reflexes of the image of the Bodhisattva. The sufferer within us is that divine being. We and that protecting father are one. This is the redeeming insight. And so it must be known that, though this ignorant, limited, self-defending, suffering body may regard itself as threatened by some other--the enemy--that one too is the God. . . we live not in this physique only, but in all bodies, all physiques of the world, as the Bodhisattva." (Hero, pp 160-62)
That is why all Mahayanists ritually recite the vows. For the vows are clues to one's own truest identity and to the ultimate redeeming insight.
Jesus' mystical vision had shown him that his individuality too was evanescent. He had seen that in the destruction of his body, sacrificed and devoured, surrendering form back into emptiness--as ego consciousness surrenders to unconsciousness--he would be transformed: he would dissolve back into the collective. In being subsumed he would become one with his followers, incorporated into them, seeing through their eyes, hearing with their ears, touching them with their hands--free of individual perspective.
In entering death, proclaiming the bodhisattva-savior's vow to suffer for us all, Jesus is reborn in each person. He has become one with the consciousness that perceives all experience and founds all existence. Each of us is Jesus reborn--not so much, of course, in our bodies of matter (born of mother) which exist in different places in space and time from the body of Jesus--but in our pure awareness (born of virgin) of life simply as it is in the present moment. In Christ (that is, in the pure awareness that is the consciousness in each of us) we all rise from the dead, for we are reborn in children over and over again, not necessarily as reincarnating individuals but as the life itself that causes our children to grow into adults and then to die to make space for more children and more life.
The myth of the Resurrection gives physical reality to Jesus' spiritual discovery of life beyond death--not simply of continuous living, but of an abundant, transpersonal vitality beyond space and time. The Resurrection reveals how rooted is the temporal in the eternal, the individual in the collective, and the physical in the spiritual.
The myth of the resurrection of the body (Jesus' in history and ours at the Second Coming) signifies that life keeps coming back in the flesh. To see that is to see that death need not be feared, that embodied life is good, that we are all manifestations of the same life. To see that is to be born again of the water (of the ocean out of which life first grew and of the amniotic water of our birth) and of the spirit (which is the breath respiring through all of us, and which, as William James saw, is modulated into consciousness in each of us). It is to see that we are all risen from the dead because of God's act of creation of space and time.
In time the creative will is our experience of tense. For the future into which we are being born is always being created in time out of the past from which we have been reborn. Indeed, being reborn means seeing that we are that creative will knowing itself and choosing out of infinite compassion and interest to be all beings.
In space that will is seen as light. For all life grows up from the earth driven by the power pouring down from the sun. In his resurrection Jesus became light, one with the sun. Thus the bread and the wine really are the body and blood of Jesus because the wheat growing out of rich soil, nourished by the deterioration of organic matter in the dark humus, is the embodiment of the light, and the wine, pressed from the grapes, invigorated by the propagation of yeasts in the rich red juices, is the blood of the sun.
The point of sacrament is to give physical reality to spiritual truth. Jesus' conquest of death is his presence in the flesh of his followers. And the point of transforming our vision is to find in the flesh, with all its sexual immediacy, the sacrament of our experience of God. True innocence, Christ invested organically, a new way to see the world, vision transformed, the fecundation of a new heaven and a new earth--this is what the spiritual teachings promise. Such vision will, in fact, transform the world of history.
Joseph Campbell frequently quoted a line from the Thomas Gospel: In answer to the disciples' question: When will the kingdom come? Jesus said: The kingdom will not come by expectation. The kingdom of the Father is spread over the earth and men do not see it. "In other words," Joe said, "bring it about in your hearts. And that is precisely the sense of Nirvanic realization. This is it. All you have to do is see it." (Open Life, p. 57.)
That is what the Second Coming refers to: when our sights have all changed we will see that Christ comes again because, of course, he's never left. Like Avalokitesvara he has remained in our bodies as us.

Q: Mapping device tree interrupt flags to devm_request_irq I am currently writing a device driver for Linux for use of PowerPC.
The device tree entry is as follows:
// PPS Interrupt client
pps_hwirq {
    compatible = "pps-hwirq";
    interrupts = <17 0x02>;                     // IPIC 17 = IRQ1, 0x02 = falling edge
    interrupt-parent = < &ipic >;
};

The 0x02 flag is quite important - the PPS is aligned with the falling edge, but this is not universal on GPS receivers and therefore should be configurable.
In the probe() function of the driver, obtaining the IRQ number is straightforward:
hwirq = irq_of_parse_and_map(np, 0);
if (hwirq == NO_IRQ) {
    dev_err(&pdev->dev, "No interrupt found in the device tree\n");
    return -EINVAL;
}

But how does one map the the IRQ flags from the device tree to the driver?
/* ****TODO****: Get the interrupt flags from the device tree
 * For now, hard code to suit my problem, but since this differs
 * by GPS receiver, it should be configurable.
 */
flags = IRQF_TRIGGER_FALLING;

/* register IRQ interrupt handler */
ret = devm_request_irq(&pdev->dev, data->irq, pps_hwint_irq_handler,
                       flags, data->info.name, data);

Unfortunately, there are few - if any - examples in the tree that actually do this job - most leave this flag as 0 (leave as-is) - here's a snippet of the results when grep for devm_request_irq, noting the values for the flags:

./drivers/crypto/picoxcell_crypto.c:    if (devm_request_irq(&pdev->dev, irq->start, spacc_spacc_irq, 0,

Or hard code it to what the hardware actually asserts:
./drivers/crypto/tegra-aes.c:   err = devm_request_irq(dev, dd->irq, aes_irq, IRQF_TRIGGER_HIGH |

So how does one cleanly associate this property from the device tree to the actual driver?

A: Further I'm gonna show how to obtain IRQ number and IRQ flags from Device Tree in some common cases:

*

*in I2C drivers

*in platform drivers

*manually

In I2C drivers
In short
If you're writing an I2C driver, you don't need to read IRQ parameters from DT manually. You can rely on I2C core to populate IRQ parameters for you:

*

*in your probe() function, client->irq will contain the IRQ number

*devm_request_irq() will use IRQ flags from DT automatically (just don't pass any IRQ trigger flags to that function).

Details
Let's look at the i2c_device_probe() function (it's where your driver's probe() function is being called from):
static int i2c_device_probe(struct device *dev)
{
    ...
    if (dev->of_node) {
        ...
        irq = of_irq_get(dev->of_node, 0);
    }
    ...
    client->irq = irq;
    ...
    status = driver->probe(client, i2c_match_id(driver->id_table, client));
}

So, client->irq will already contain IRQ number in your driver's probe function.
As for IRQ flags: of_irq_get() (in code above) eventually calls irqd_set_trigger_type(), which internally stores IRQ flags (read from device tree) for your interrupt number. So, when you call devm_request_irq(), it eventually ends up in __setup_irq(), and it does next:
/*
 * If the trigger type is not specified by the caller,
 * then use the default for this interrupt.
 */
if (!(new->flags & IRQF_TRIGGER_MASK))
    new->flags |= irqd_get_trigger_type(&desc->irq_data);

where:

*

*new->flags contains flags you provided to devm_request_irq()

*irqd_get_trigger_type() returns flags obtained from DT

In other words, if you don't pass IRQ flags to devm_request_irq() (e.g. pass 0), it will use IRQ flags obtained from device tree.
See also this question for details.
In platform drivers
You can use platform_get_irq() to obtain IRQ number. It also stores (internally) IRQ flags obtained from DT, so if you pass flags=0 to devm_request_irq(), flags from DT will be used.
Manually
If your driver doesn't rely on kernel frameworks, you have to obtain IRQ values manually:

*

*IRQ number can be obtained (as you mentioned) by irq_of_parse_and_map(); this function not only returns IRQ number, but also stores IRQ flags for your IRQ number (by calling irqd_set_trigger_type() eventually); stored IRQ flags will be automatically used in devm_request_irq(), if you don't pass IRQ trigger type to it (e.g. you can pass flags=0)

*IRQ flags can be obtained by irq_get_trigger_type(), but only after executing irq_of_parse_and_map()
So probably you only need to run irq_of_parse_and_map() and let devm_request_irq() handle flags for you (just make sure you don't pass trigger flags to it).

Q: Use Flexbox to shrinkwrap and center an element containing inline-block children Normally, an element containing wrapping display:inline-block elements takes up 100% of the available width, giving you something like this:
-----------------BODY------------------
|                                     |
||-------------CONTAINER-------------||
||-INLINEBLOCK---INLINEBLOCK--       ||
|||____________||____________|       ||
||-INLINEBLOCK--                     ||
|||____________|                     ||
||___________________________________||
|_____________________________________|

Say, instead you wanted to shrinkwrap and center the container:
-----------------BODY------------------
|                                     |
|   |----------CONTAINER---------|    |
|   |-INLINEBLOCK---INLINEBLOCK--|    |
|   ||____________||____________||    |
|   |-INLINEBLOCK--              |    |
|   ||____________|              |    |
|   |____________________________|    |
|_____________________________________|

As far as I can tell, this was impossible with traditional CSS and required JavaScript hacks.
Can this problem be solved with flexbox? If so, how?
[Diagrams shamelessly stolen from this question.]

A: Use the body as your flex container, and then container becomes a flex item.
Fiddle
HTML:

CSS:
body{
  display:flex;
  justify-content:space-between;
}
.container{
  margin:auto; // centers horizontally
}
.inline-block{
  display:inline-block;
  width:200px;
  height:32px;
  background:#ccc;
}

Feel free to play around with the fiddle. This should give you the basic idea, though.

Can cannabis help reduce opioid deaths?
A piece published in The Conversation has suggested that opioids can be substituted by medicinal cannabis with more effective results.
Written by researchers from the University of British Columbia, the article says a 2014 study that analysed data from across the United States over a 10-year period found that states that had legalised medical cannabis saw 25% fewer opioid-related deaths, compared to states where medical cannabis remained illegal.
The authors also said that in a 2017 study, 80% of medical cannabis patients in California reported that taking cannabis alone was more effective at treating their medical condition than taking cannabis with opioids.
More than 90% agreed they would choose cannabis over opioids to treat their condition if it were readily available.
Professor Wayne Hall from the University of Queensland's Centre for Youth Substance Abuse Research said there was weak evidence to support the claims that cannabis reduces opioid-related deaths.
"The statements that legalising medical marijuana reduces opioid overdose deaths by offering a less risky method of pain management are based on studies with results that have not been confirmed through more rigorous scientific methods," Professor Hall said.
Professor Hall said there were more plausible reasons for the reduction in opioid deaths that should be investigated.
"Politically conservative American states are less likely to pass medical cannabis laws, less likely to provide treatment programs for opioid dependence, and more likely to use imprisonment instead," he said.
"Access to medically assisted treatment programs for opioid dependence, such as methadone and buprenorphine, is known to reduce overdose risk.
Aligning with the stance recently shared by representatives from the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP), Professor Hall also urged caution of the premature acceptance of research claiming the pain relief qualities of medical cannabis.
"A recent review found that the analgesic effect of cannabinoids was modest, at best," he said.
"An Australian study found that chronic pain patients who used cannabis did not use lower doses of opioids or report less pain than those who did not.
However critics have objected at the statements, criticising the RACP's stance.
"Rather than providing a coherent and balanced account of the current state of play, the 'perspective' reads like a patronising and scaremongering diatribe, misrepresenting the literature to frighten off would-be prescribers," Professor Iain McGregor, academic director of the Lambert Initiative for Cannabinoid Therapeutics in the Brain and Mind Centre at the University of Sydney, wrote in an article published by Fairfax Media.
Is cannabis one answer to the opioid epidemic?

Review: Uit het leven van marionetten, Rotterdamse Schouwburg
"In de stilte hoor je de waarheid"
In the name of maximising my time in the Netherlands, I've seen a fair few productions in Dutch without any linguistic assistance. Thursday night shows at the Stadschouwberg Amsterdam are regularly surtitled in English but I always want to see more. In the case of plays like Blood Wedding and The Maids, I've been able to get away with since I know them; with others, like A Bride in the Morning, it's been more of a challenge.
And so it was with U it het leven van marionetten (From the life of the marionettes), the fifth Ingmar Bergman adaptation from Toneelgroep Amsterdam, helmed by film director Nanouk Leopold in her stage debut. I'd hoped to watch the film in advance but I couldn't track it down in time and so went into the Schouwburg in Rotterdam armed with just a flimsy synopsis and an overwhelming admiration for a company that included the rather fab Eelco Smits.
So in all honesty, I have to hold my hands up and say a fair amount of what happened passed me by, though the larger picture of how the worst parts of society can inculcate murderous tendencies in people was clear. What I can say is that Leopold's directorial vision was often stunning, blending her cinematic vision with the power of live theatre in a way that felt very much at home with the Toneelgroep aesthetic whilst still maintaining its own identity.
Eschewing props and filling the space instead with aching silence, and using extended closeups on video or shifting the field of vision entirely. The extraordinary vibrancy of James Farncombe's lighting design and Donato Wharton's ruminative, rumbling sound design coming to the fore magnificently. I may not have understood every word but so much was crystal clear from the sheer act of experiencing this piece of theatre.

Eltronicschool. - A ceramic piezo disc is one kinds of piezo disc that can be used to build contact microphone easily. This is very best choice to build contact microphone using ceramic piezo disc because it is more self-resonant, efficient, and less expensive.
In this time, based on TLo72P IC, we will give you one of electronic circuit schematic of Contact Microphone using TL072P IC like in Figure 1. below.
Circuit schematic like in Figure 1 above is Contact Microphone using TL072P IC. With this circuit maybe you can look the world with different way. So, you can use the electronic circuit above to build it with simple way.
According Electroschematics site describe that the signals entering the circuit through the "PIEZO_IN" connector is handled by the first op-amp (IC1A) of IC-TL072P. Choosing the right value for resistor R1 largely depends on your specific application. For example, if you want to catch sub-audio signals, the 10M value is okay. However, if you are more interested in other realms (audio, voice, etc.), start experimenting with resistor values from 10K to 100K. The configuration of the resistor R1 and the potentiometer VR1 is totally up to you as long as R1 is a metal-film resistor (MFR) and VR1 is a logarithmic (LOG) type. The second op-amp (IC1B) wiring includes a small filter and gain adjuster — pretty usable for little signal processing by the end user. Finally, the ac coupling capacitor C5 and the audio output "AMP_OUT" can be extended directly to the outside world.
You can use a single 9-V alkaline battery (or an external dc input up to 15 V) to power your contact microphone by linking the battery [+] to DC-1 and [–] to DC-3 connection points. Note that V+ and V– are the positive and negative rails of the circuit, while GND/0V is the virtual ground used to simulate a dual-rail supply, which does not connect to the negative terminal of the battery (it connects just to the middle of the voltage divider formed by R5 and R6).


According to research published in the British Journal of Pharmacology in 2008, alendronate (Fosamax), raloxifene (Evista) and estradiol (estrogen, E2) are inferior to the phytoestrogen genistein commonly found in fermented soy*, red clover, kudzu, fava beans and coffee, in preserving bone mineral density (quantity) and strength (quality) in an animal model of menopausal osteoporosis.
Genistein has been extensively researched for its potential therapeutic role in osteoporosis prevention and treatment, as well as a mind-boggling 170+ additional health conditions. It is likely the main reason why soy, and particularly fermented soy, has been regarded as both a food and a medicine in Asian culture.
What makes this finding so groundbreaking is that genistein is a food derivative, whereas the three categories of drugs compared to it in the study are evolutionarily and biologically alien chemicals (xenobiotics) with profound, unintended adverse health effects. For example, the class of drugs known as bisphosphonates which include Fosamax have been linked to over 40 adverse health effects.
In essence, this study calls into question the multi-billion dollar "osteoporosis" and "osteopenia" industry's most lucrative commodities. Foods and food extracts, of course, do not lend themselves to being patented, which is why this study will likely never receive the multi-million dollar funding required to bring it to the level of a human clinical trial. Moreover, natural bone loss associated with aging has been over-medicalized. We explored this problem in the following article: "Osteoporosis Myth: The Dangers of High Bone Mineral Density."
*non-fermented soy contains genistin, whereas friendly bacteria in our gut or in cultured foods such as miso biotransform it into genistein.
The true value of this study becomes apparent when we look at the drugs in greater detail. Alendronate (Fosamax), for instance, was originally used to soften water in irrigation systems used in orange groves. It has the ability to ulcerate and puncture the stomach, which is why it is suggested it be taken with water and the person stands or sits up for half an hour. It has been linked to at least 19 serious adverse health effects, including bone fracture itself!
Raloxifene (Evista), on the other hand, has been proven to increase the risk of pulmonary embolism, venous thrombosis, sroke and coronary artery disease to name but only a few areas of grave concern.
Estradiol, though produced naturally in our body, may have cardiotoxic and carcinogenic properties when levels are too high, as may occur during pharmaceutically-based hormone replacement therapy, or when detoxification/transformative pathways are working sub-optimally.
Genistein has much weaker estrogenic activity in comparison to estradiol, and yet it is capable of binding to the same estrogen receptors for a much longer duration, which may result in significant positive effects when endogenously produced estrogen levels fail to meet the body's optimal requirements. Genistein is also highly selective, capable of binding and stimulating bone estrogen receptor sites (resulting in increased strength/density), whereas down-regulating breast density by taking up, and weakly stimulating estrogen receptor sites within breast tissue.
This enables the plant estrogen - paradoxically - to block out and/or reduce the proliferative activity of excess estradiol and related xenobiotic estrogen exposures. The same principle, also known as Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulation (SERM), has also been observed operative within the phytoestrogens found in flaxseed.


An-ten-nae is one of San Francisco's most sought after DJs and live performers. He has taken the art of live remixing to new heights with his own customized setup, that bends genres in ways seldom heard. This sound is called Acid Crunk, and there are no rules, no restraints in its quest for pure BASS devastation.
An-ten-nae is a low frequency emitter transmitting and remixing music on the fly, giving him the ability to transcend above the constraints of music rigidity and transmit bass heavy, crunked out beats of the highest order. HisGenre bending, "Acid Crunk compilations" have set the standard and has defined an era with over 1,000,000 downloads to date. Picking up steam in 2009 Acid Crunk Vol. 2 maintained the # 1 seller in Dubstep, Electronica and Chillout genres simultaneously while also having all 14 tracks in their respective genre top 10, as well as rocking the charts on iTunes, Juno Digital and a host of other sites. With an album in the works and the ever growing Acid Crunk series running at full steam, we see no end in site for the ever changing chameleon known as An*Ten*Nae.


"Reduced fat oxidation during high intensity, submaximal exercise: Is t" by Benjamin T. Wall, Frances B. Stephens et al.
Reduced fat oxidation during high intensity, submaximal exercise: Is the availability of carnitine important?
The increased energy demand that occurs with incremental exercise intensity is met by increases in the oxidation of both endogenous fat and carbohydrate stores up to an intensity of ~70% V˙O2max in trained individuals. However, when exercise intensity increases beyond this workload, fat oxidation rates decline, both from a relative and absolute perspective. As endogenous glycogen use is accelerated, glycogen stores can become depleted, ultimately resulting in fatigue and the inability to maintain high intensity, submaximal exercise ( > 70% V˙O2max ). Despite a considerable accumulation of knowledge that has been gained over the past half century, the precise mechanism( s ) regulating muscle fuel selection and underpinning the aforementioned decline in fat oxidation remain largely unclear. A greater understanding would undoubtedly lead to novel strategies to increase fat utilization and, as such, improve exercise capacity. The present review primarily addresses one of the most prominent theories to explain the phenomenon of diminished fat oxidation during high intensity, submaximal exercise; a reduced availability of muscle free carnitine for mitochondrial fat translocation. This is discussed in the light of recent work in this area taking advantage of the discovery that muscle carnitine content can be increased in vivo in humans. Furthermore, the evidence supporting the recently proposed theory that reduced muscle co-enzyme A availability to several key enzymes in the fat oxidation pathway may also exert a degree of control over muscle fuel selection during exercise is also considered. Strong correlational evidence exists that muscle free carnitine availability is likely to be a key limiting factor to fat oxidation during high intensity, submaximal exercise. However, it is concluded that further intervention studies manipulating the muscle carnitine pool in humans are required to establish a direct causal role. In addition, it is concluded that while a depletion of muscle coenzyme A availability during exercise also offers a viable mechanism for impairing fat oxidation, at present, this remains speculative.

Open Access Publication: Gothic Architecture in Spain: Invention and Imitation, eds Tom Nickson and Nicola Jennings
Click here to read Gothic Architecture in Spain: Invention and Imitation, eds Tom Nickson and Nicola Jennings (London, 2020)
From the dazzling spectacle of Burgos Cathedral to the cavernous nave of Palma Cathedral or the lacy splendour of San Juan de los Reyes, Spain preserves a remarkable variety of inventive but little understood Gothic buildings. Yet Gothic architecture in Spain and the Spanish kingdoms has traditionally been assessed in terms of its imitation of northern European architecture, dismissed for its 'old-fashioned' or provincial quality, and condemned for its passive receptivity to 'Islamic influence'. But did imitation really triumph over invention in the architecture of medieval Iberia? Are the two incompatible? Can inventio and imitatio offer useful or valid analytical tools for understanding Gothic architecture? And to what extent are invention or imitation determined by patrons, architects, materials or technologies? This essay collection brings together leading scholars to examine Gothic architecture from across Iberia from the thirteenth to the sixteenth century, and provides the first significant account of Spanish Gothic architecture to be published in English since 1865.

New Publication: Kirstin Kennedy, Alfonso X of Castile-León: Royal Patronage, Self-Promotion and Manuscripts in Thirteenth-century Spain (Amsterdam University Press, 2019)
Alfonso X 'the Learned' of Castile (1252–1284) was praised in his lifetime as a king who devoted himself to discovering all worldly and divine knowledge. He commissioned chronicles and law codes and composed poems to the Virgin Mary, he gathered together Jewish scholars to translate works of Arab astrology and astronomy, and he founded a university of Latin and Arabic studies at Seville. Moreover, according to his nephew Juan Manuel, Alfonso was careful to ensure that 'he had leisure to look into things he wanted for himself'. The level of his personal involvement in this literary activity marks him out as an exceptional patron in any period. However, Alfonso's relationship with the arts also had much in common with that of other thirteenth-century European royal patrons, among them his first cousin, Louis IX of France. Like his contemporaries, he relentlessly used literary works as a vehicle to promote his royal status and advance his claim to the imperial crown. His motivation for the foundation of the university at Seville was arguably political rather than educational, and instead of promoting institutional learning during his reign, Alfonso preferred to direct the messages about his kingship in the lavish manuscripts he patronized to a restricted, courtly audience. Yet such was the interest of the works he commissioned, that those who could obtain copies did so, even if these were still incomplete drafts. Three codices traditionally held to have been copied for Alfonso in fact show how this learning reserved for the few began to filter out beyond the Learned King's immediate circle.
Kirstin Kennedy is a curator of metalwork (specializing in silver) at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. She previously held a British Academy Post-Doctoral Fellowship at King's College London, in the Department of Spanish and Spanish American Studies (2000–2003).

Forthcoming publication: Nigel Glendinning, Goya and His Critics, new edited edition
Nigel Glendinning (1929-2013) is remembered for his perceptive writings on Goya and for the range of his knowledge on the art and literature of 18th century Spain. He had a distinguished academic career at the universities of Southampton, Trinity College Dublin, and Queen Mary University of London. He was a Corresponding Member of the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando, Madrid, and an Honorary Fellow of the Hispanic Society of America in New York, as well as the winner of the international Elio Antonio de Nebrija prize awarded by the University of Salamanca (2007). In 1998 he was created Commander of the Order of Isabel La Católica, an honour conferred on him by King Juan Carlos of Spain. In 2001 he contributed to the creation of ARTES and served the group as honorary president for more than ten years.
Glendinning's work is celebrated in the forthcoming edited edition of his classic book, Goya and his critics (1977; revised Spanish edition 1983). The new volume, published by Ediciones Complutense, contains the text of the 1983 Spanish edition with a selection of Glendinning's more recent essays on the topic. The editors, Sarah Symmons and Jesusa Vega, contributed two memoirs of Nigel as a Hispanic art historian, his contribution to Goya Studies and to Hispanic visual and literary culture. The publication also features a tribute by Valeriano Bozal.
Information on the book's forthcoming launch will be published soon.

New book: The Archaeology of Medieval Spain 1100-1500
The Archaeology of Medieval Spain 1100-1500, edited by Magdalena Valor and Avelino Gutiérrez (Sheffield: Equinox Publishing, 2014) ISBN 9781845531737.
This book is the first attempt to make sense of the new data for the twelfth to the fifteenth centuries, a period when Spain was the hinge or fulcrum between Christianity and Islam, and that saw the gradual displacement of the previous Islamic culture and way of life by that of the Hispanic kingdoms.
Magdalena Valor is Professor of History and Medieval Archaeology at the University of Seville. Avelino Gutierrez is Professor of Archaeology at the University of Oviedo.
John Schofield has contributed the introduction and concluding chapter ('Hopes for the future'). The book is published in the series 'Studies in the Archaeology of Medieval Europe' of which John was the founding editor. John says in his introduction that Spain was late in developing modern archaeological services but has since caught up: since the mid-1980s there has been 'an explosion of archaeological excavations in towns and countryside, resulting in a mountain of new data, most of it undigested'.

Q: Tez VS Spark - huge performance diffs I'm using HDP 2.6.4 and am seeing huge differences in Spark SQL vs Hive on TeZ. Here's a simple query on a table of ~95 M rows
SELECT DT, Sum(1) from mydata GROUP BY DT

DT is partition column, a string that marks date.
In spark shell, with 15 executors, 10G memory for driver and 15G for executor, query runs for 10-15 seconds.
When running on Hive (from beeline), the query runs (actually is still running) for 500+ seconds. (!!!)
To make things worse, this application takes even more resources (significantly) than the spark shell session I ran the job in.
UPDATE: It finished 1 row selected (672.152 seconds)
More information about the environment:

*

*Only one queue used, with capacity scheduler

*User under which the job is running is my own user. We have Kerberos used with LDAP

*AM Resource: 4096 MB

*using tez.runtime.compress with Snappy

*data is in Parquet format, no compression applied

*tez.task.resource.memory 6134 MB

*tez.counters.max 10000

*tez.counters.max.groups 3000

*tez.runtime.io.sort.mb 8110 MB

*tez.runtime.pipelined.sorter.sort.threads 2

*tez.runtime.shuffle.fetch.buffer.percent 0.6

*tez.runtime.shuffle.memory.limit.percent 0.25

*tez.runtime.unordered.output.buffer.size-mb 460 MB

*Enable Vectorization and Map Vectorization true

*Enable Reduce Vectorization false

*hive.vectorized.groupby.checkinterval 4096

*hive.vectorized.groupby.flush.percent 0.1

*hive.tez.container.size 682
More Updates:
When checking about vectorization on this link, I noticed I don't see Vectorized execution: true anywhere when I used explain. Another thing that caught my attention is the following: table:{"input format:":"org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TextInputFormat","output format:":"org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.HiveIgnoreKeyTextOutputFormat","serde:":"org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.lazy.LazySimpleSerDe"}
Namely, when checking table itself: STORED AS INPUTFORMAT 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.parquet.MapredParquetInputFormat' and OUTPUTFORMAT 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.parquet.MapredParquetOutputFormat'
Any comparisons between spark and tez usually come to relatively same terms, but I'm seeing dramatic differences.
What shd be the first thing to check?
Thx

A: In the end, we gave up and installed LLAP. I'm going to accept it as an answer, as I have sort of an OCD and this unanswered question has been poking my eyes for long enough.

Q: Is C# 4.0 backward compatible to C# 2.0? May I know what is the difference between C# 4.0 and C# 2.0? Is C# 4.0 backward compatible to C# 2.0?
Can I say that C# 4.0 is a superset of C# 2.0 (just like what C++ is to C)?
Thanks.

A: There are some subtle breaking changes, as there have been in previous versions. The problem is that C# 4 introduces a new type of valid conversion due to covariance/contravariance. This means that some methods which would previously have not been applicable are now applicable for a particular call. Here's some code which is valid for both C# 4 and C# 2 / 3:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class Base
{
    public void DoSomething(IEnumerable<string> strings)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Base");
    }
}

public class Derived : Base
{
    public void DoSomething(IEnumerable<object> objects)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Derived");
    }
}

public class Test
{
    static void Main()
    {
        Derived d = new Derived();
        d.DoSomething(new List<string>());
    }
}

In C# 4, this will print "Derived" - in C# 2 and 3 it will print "Base".
The same sort of issue occurred between C# 1 and 2, where delegate instance expressions allowed nongeneric covariance and contravariance.
Any new conversions are pretty much bound to create this sort of issue. In my experience, however, these things are unlikely to actually cause a problem.
Additionally, C# 4 handles locking and field-like events in a slightly different way - again, this won't affect most code, but it's worth knowing about. Chris Burrows has a series of articles on the changes in his blog.

A: C# 4.0 is nearly backwards compatible with previous versions but there are a few breaking changes. For most ordinary code you won't notice these breaking changes.
For the new features in C# 4 you can check out the Wikipedia article which has quite a good summary with examples. The key points are:

*

*Dynamic member lookup

*Covariant and contravariant generic type parameters

*Optional ref keyword when using COM

*Optional parameters and named arguments

*Indexed properties

Also remember that there was another version in between - C# 3.0. One of the most important additions here is LINQ and all the features added to make it possible. The difference between C# 2.0 and 3.0 is much greater than the difference between C# 3.0 and 4.0.

By the way, not all valid C code is valid C++ as you implied in your question. See here:

In the strict mathematical sense, C isn't a subset of C++. There are programs that are valid C but not valid C++ and even a few ways of writing code that has a different meaning in C and C++.

A: Yes, they used to do it like that.
Whats new in C# 4.0

A: YES,
All the features of C# 2.0 are in still in C# 4.0, HOWEVER, there are new features in version 4 that are obviously not in version 2.
Everything you wrote in C# 2.0 will work in C# 4.0.
But obviously the opposite would not work.....

A: A word of caution though - watch out for thinks getting deprecated - OracleClient in ADO.Net for instance...
Martin
EDIT - Yeah, Simon's got a point there... I'm really talking about .Net. Sorry...

A: There are many featured added from C# 2.0 as follow :

*

*C# 2.0; released with .NET 2.0 and VS2005 (2005). Major new features: generics, anonymous methods, nullable types, iterator blocks

*C# 3.0; released with .NET 3.5 and VS2008 (2007).

BOBCAT GOLDTHWAIT'S WORLD'S GREATEST DAD — A REVIEW BY NICK CLEMENT
August 18, 2015 nlclement	Leave a comment
I always preferred Robin Williams when he went DARK — stuff like Insomnia (as good as remakes get), Death to Smoochy (brilliant satire), What Dreams May Come (visionary), One Hour Photo (supremely creepy), Good Will Hunting (downbeat but still lovable), and The Final Cut (unnerving) rank as my favorite movies from this legendary comedic actor — but I am not sure anyone was prepared for how screwed-up and obscenely hysterical Bobcat Goldthwait's World's Greatest Dad was going to be. This is a scalding, deeply perverted, and oddly touching little comedy that's destined to find a huge cult following. The less you know about the story the better, but here's a small summary: Williams is high school teacher and failed writer Lance Clayton, a single dad who is raising his punk-ass teenage son Kyle (the amazingly nasty Daryl Sabara) and carrying on a secret relationship with fellow teacher Claire (the extremely cute Alexie Gilmore). When Kyle accidentally (and embarrassingly) dies, Lance decides to write a suicide note on behalf of his son. That's when all hell breaks loose. Again, know as little about this movie as possible before you check it out. All I will say is that it's one of the sharpest high school satires since Election, and overall, the film has a nasty streak of diseased humor running through its cinematic veins that is extremely refreshing. It's also a unique film about parenting and family, and while much of the delinquent son's behavior might putt off some people from even attempting reproduction, Goldthwait's narrative still has plenty of genuine heart. This is an audacious, unsafe comedy, unafraid to go to some truly bleak places, and always succeeding because of Goldthwait's ability to cull humor out of the perverse. Williams gives a terrific performance, on par with his career best work in stuff like Insomnia, Death to Smoochy, and One Hour Photo; when he wanted to knock it out of the park, he really crushed it. This is easily one of the funniest, most transgressive comedies in years, on par with stuff like Observe and Report and Bad Santa.
