Reading Avro Data from HDFS
A newer version of this documentation is available. Use the version menu above to view the most up-to-date release of the Greenplum 5.x documentation.
Use the PXF HDFS Connector to read Avro-format data. This section describes how to use PXF to access Avro data in HDFS, including how to create and query an external table that references an Avro file in the HDFS data store.
Ensure that you have met the PXF Hadoop Prerequisites before you attempt to read data from HDFS.
Working with Avro Data
Apache Avro is a data serialization framework where the data is serialized in a compact binary format. Avro specifies that data types be defined in JSON. Avro format data has an independent schema, also defined in JSON. An Avro schema, together with its data, is fully self-describing.
Data Type Mapping
Avro supports both primitive and complex data types.
To represent Avro primitive data types in Greenplum Database, map data values to Greenplum Database columns of the same type.
Avro supports complex data types including arrays, maps, records, enumerations, and fixed types. Map top-level fields of these complex data types to the Greenplum Database
TEXT type. While Greenplum Database does not natively support these types, you can create Greenplum Database functions or application code to extract or further process subcomponents of these complex data types.
The following table summarizes external mapping rules for Avro data.
|Avro Data Type
|PXF/Greenplum Data Type
|int or smallint
|Complex type: Array, Map, Record, or Enum
|text, with delimiters inserted between collection items, mapped key-value pairs, and record data.
|Complex type: Fixed
|Follows the above conventions for primitive or complex data types, depending on the union; supports Null values.
Avro Schemas and Data
Avro schemas are defined using JSON, and composed of the same primitive and complex types identified in the data type mapping section above. Avro schema files typically have a
.avsc suffix.
Fields in an Avro schema file are defined via an array of objects, each of which is specified by a name and a type.
Creating the External Table
Use the
hdfs:avro profile to read Avro-format data in HDFS. The following syntax creates a Greenplum Database readable external table that references such a file:
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE <table_name>
( <column_name> <data_type> [, ...] | LIKE <other_table> )
LOCATION ('pxf://<path-to-hdfs-file>?PROFILE=hdfs:avro[&<custom-option>=<value>[...]]')
FORMAT 'CUSTOM' (FORMATTER='pxfwritable_import');
The specific keywords and values used in the CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE command are described in the table below.
|The absolute path to the directory or file in the HDFS data store.
PROFILE keyword must specify
|<custom-option>s are discussed below.
'CUSTOM' with the
hdfs:avro profile. The
FORMAT requires that you specify
For complex types, the PXF
hdfs:avro profile inserts default delimiters between collection items and values. You can use non-default delimiter characters by identifying values for specific
hdfs:avro custom options in the
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE command.
hdfs:avro profile supports the following <custom-option>s:
|Option Keyword
|The delimiter character(s) to place between entries in a top-level array, map, or record field when PXF maps an Avro complex data type to a text column. The default is the comma
, character.
|The delimiter character(s) to place between the key and value of a map entry when PXF maps an Avro complex data type to a text column. The default is the colon
: character.
|The delimiter character(s) to place between the field name and value of a record entry when PXF maps an Avro complex data type to a text column. The default is the colon
: character.
Example: Reading Avro Data
The examples in this section will operate on Avro data with the following field name and data type record schema:
- id - long
- username - string
- followers - array of string
- fmap - map of long
- relationship - enumerated type
- address - record comprised of street number (int), street name (string), and city (string)
Create Schema
Perform the following operations to create an Avro schema to represent the example schema described above.
Create a file named
$ vi /tmp/avro_schema.avsc
Copy and paste the following text into
{ "type" : "record", "name" : "example_schema", "namespace" : "com.example", "fields" : [ { "name" : "id", "type" : "long", "doc" : "Id of the user account" }, { "name" : "username", "type" : "string", "doc" : "Name of the user account" }, { "name" : "followers", "type" : {"type": "array", "items": "string"}, "doc" : "Users followers" }, { "name": "fmap", "type": {"type": "map", "values": "long"} }, { "name": "relationship", "type": { "type": "enum", "name": "relationshipEnum", "symbols": ["MARRIED","LOVE","FRIEND","COLLEAGUE","STRANGER","ENEMY"] } }, { "name": "address", "type": { "type": "record", "name": "addressRecord", "fields": [ {"name":"number", "type":"int"}, {"name":"street", "type":"string"}, {"name":"city", "type":"string"}] } } ], "doc:" : "A basic schema for storing messages" }
Create Avro Data File (JSON)
Perform the following steps to create a sample Avro data file conforming to the above schema.
Create a text file named
$ vi /tmp/pxf_avro.txt
Enter the following data into
{"id":1, "username":"john","followers":["kate", "santosh"], "relationship": "FRIEND", "fmap": {"kate":10,"santosh":4}, "address":{"number":1, "street":"renaissance drive", "city":"san jose"}} {"id":2, "username":"jim","followers":["john", "pam"], "relationship": "COLLEAGUE", "fmap": {"john":3,"pam":3}, "address":{"number":9, "street":"deer creek", "city":"palo alto"}}
The sample data uses a comma
,to separate top level records and a colon
:to separate map/key values and record field name/values.
Convert the text file to Avro format. There are various ways to perform the conversion, both programmatically and via the command line. In this example, we use the Java Avro tools; the jar
avro-tools-1.8.1.jarfile resides in the current directory:
$ java -jar ./avro-tools-1.8.1.jar fromjson --schema-file /tmp/avro_schema.avsc /tmp/pxf_avro.txt > /tmp/pxf_avro.avro
The generated Avro binary data file is written to
Copy the generated Avro file to HDFS:
$ hdfs dfs -put /tmp/pxf_avro.avro /data/pxf_examples/
Query With hdfs:avro Profile
Perform the following operations to create and query an external table that references the
pxf_avro.avro file that you added to HDFS in the previous section. When creating the table:
- Map the top-level primitive fields,
id(type long) and
username(type string), to their equivalent Greenplum Database types (bigint and text).
- Map the remaining complex fields to type text.
- Explicitly set the record, map, and collection delimiters using the
hdfs:avroprofile custom options.
Use the
hdfs:avroprofile to create a queryable external table from the
postgres=# CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE pxf_hdfs_avro(id bigint, username text, followers text, fmap text, relationship text, address text) LOCATION ('pxf://data/pxf_examples/pxf_avro.avro?PROFILE=hdfs:avro&COLLECTION_DELIM=,&MAPKEY_DELIM=:&RECORDKEY_DELIM=:') FORMAT 'CUSTOM' (FORMATTER='pxfwritable_import');
Perform a simple query of the
postgres=# SELECT * FROM pxf_hdfs_avro;
id | username | followers | fmap | relationship | address ----+----------+----------------+--------------------+--------------+--------------------------------------------------- 1 | john | [kate,santosh] | {kate:10,santosh:4} | FRIEND | {number:1,street:renaissance drive,city:san jose} 2 | jim | [john,pam] | {pam:3,john:3} | COLLEAGUE | {number:9,street:deer creek,city:palo alto} (2 rows)
The simple query of the external table shows the components of the complex type data separated with the delimiters specified in the
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLEcall.
Process the delimited components in the text columns as necessary for your application. For example, the following command uses the Greenplum Database internal
string_to_arrayfunction to convert entries in the
followersfield to a text array column in a new view.
postgres=# CREATE VIEW followers_view AS SELECT username, address, string_to_array(substring(followers FROM 2 FOR (char_length(followers) - 2)), ',')::text[] AS followers FROM pxf_hdfs_avro;
Query the view to filter rows based on whether a particular follower appears in the view:
postgres=# SELECT username, address FROM followers_view WHERE followers @> '{john}';
username | address ----------+--------------------------------------------- jim | {number:9,street:deer creek,city:palo alto}

DJ Premier on DJ AM: He was sick on the turntables, and f–k any DJ that disagreesPosted by Miss Info under Crony-ism , Good For Hip Hop , Life Beyond Rap , Photos , Quotes , Relationships and Family , Sigh
[11] Comments
(wow, what a photo…DJ AM, DJ Premier, and DJ Stretch Armstrong, spotted at BrooklynVegan)
DJ Premier remember his friend DJ AM last night on his radio show….and talked about how he had just spoken to DJ AM the day before. They were planning a Nike collaboration, a sneaker series called Rivals. Primo says he would be designing an AF1 and AM would be doing a dunk, and that both men were excited to announce the project this upcoming tuesday at Vegas' Magic convention….[audio:DJ Premier Reacts On DJ AM Death.mp3]
"I met him when he was 14 year old at a Cypress Hill, House of Pain, Hooligans show….he was with Alchemist and Scott Caan, James Caan's son…..and we took pictures. The other day, he sent me the pictures and Im gonna make a t-shirt of that…."
"Rest in peace to DJ AM. shout to his family. Even his mother, she's been very sick with leukemia, and every year he has a donation [drive] towards her fund. And every year I donate to his fund…I asked [AM] did you bug out when you fly. He say, taking and landing is the only time I really bug out. Once I'm in the air, I'm cool. He said turbulence doesnt even bother him, it was just taking off and landing….and now he's taking off to heaven…gotta go somewhere and chill."
"I already heard people are trying to hate like he wasn't important, like he wasn't a dope DJ. Let me tell you something…he is the f–kin' shit. This dudes's a f–kin' maniac on turntables, for real. You have to experience this dude's tactics on turntables, he's sick with it. And if I cosign it, f–k any DJ who disagrees. You either haven't seen him spin…and this dude's history, his knowledge of music was intense…Ive known this dude for over 15 years so I bear witness to seeing him get busy. So any DJ that feel different, f–k y'all, man, y'all don't know the dude, and I know him. So f–k all of y'all, f–k you.
[UPDATE 9-1-09: Another one of DJ AM's longtime friends, Mike B posted a very poignant blog about his feelings of loss (via Jon Shecter)]

As Premo says, so shall it be done.
There are only a handful of DJ's who reached AM's level of celebrity and earning ability (A-Trak, Z-Trip, Jazzy Jeff) who constantly stayed dedicated to the actual craft of dj'ing. Diplo's remembrances were particularly poignant. AM could earn 5 figures one night and then play for free for friends just because he loved rocking parties, challenging himself and coming up with new styles so much.

It annoys me when people compare this person to that person, when a person has just passed away. We always hear someone trying to slam a person, or throw dirt on ones name. Just let the man have a moment of silence. I feel people should speak how they feel, yet the man hasn't even been buried have respect.

yeah prem tell it like it is. adam was a dj footsoldier and whether you like him or not, you have to respect his passion and the dude lived dj'ing and music. he helped a lot of people and he was helped by lots of people who loved him, respect him, and now mourn him.
this pic is great :).
lol at stretch.
everyone's getting old now and adam didn't even get to live longer, but i am sure he lived everyday. RIP.
i feel so bad for his moms and sis. damn.
all the people joking about the dudes life, i cosign everything dj premier said and a big fuck you to ignorant people. adam has been a big supporter for all kinds or music for a long time and he would play the big events and the holes all for the love. he was a beast on the tables and if you have any respect for the turntables you wouldn't be on the internet spewing crap about him. i doubt the people i mean to see this will read this here but i wanted to get that off my chest.

"Lake Tōya" is a member of Global Geoparks Network, a valuable place to feel workings of the earth, as well as one of the most popular tourist attractions in Hokkaido
"Lake Tōya" lies about midway between Sapporo and Hakodate, within the Shikotsu-Tōya National Park. It is the third largest caldera lake in Japan following Lake Kussharo and Lake Shikotsu.
Around the almost round lake, which is about 11km from east to west and 9km from north to south, various activities including hot springs are available, and about 3 million tourists visit there every year.
In 2009, it became a member of UNESCO-assisted Global Geoparks Network, as "Toya Caldera and Usu Volcano". The geopark is preserving the geosite, where valuable geological heritages are gathered, as well as aiming for the regional development with tourism (geotourism).
This Geopark has geopoints to show the formation of Toya caldera 110,000 years ago, the birth of the lake island 50,000 years ago, middens of Jōmon period, the creation of Shōwa-shinzan after the crustal movement between 1944 and 1945, traces of the eruption in 2000 and so on. There are sufficient footpaths to these spots.
Shōwa-shinzan is a Special National Monument of Japan, and the impressive appearance of the red protuberant mountain would overwhelm you with the power of the earth.
Vicinity of the Lake Toya, at any rate, offers various enjoyments including the opportunity to experience the natural science as mentioned above: you can make the most of the activities under the vastly extensive panorama include horse trekking with the view of Lake Toya from somma, canoeing to enjoy paddling around the serene lake, the all-you-can play golf course as as low as a few hundred yen, and the auto campground which opens from April to October.
There are various types of accommodations in Toyako Onsen (Lake Toya Hot Springs), from the luxurious resort hotels to the accommodations intended for families, and many of them offer the lake view from their rooms. The Annual "Toya lake Long-run Fireworks Display" is held every night for the period from the Golden Week Holidays(the Golden Week Holidays is a Japanese term applied to the period containing the following public holidays : April 29, May 3-5)to the end of October, and the cruise trip in which you can enjoy the close view of fireworks is popular.
The area attracts many tourists as it is conveniently located in about 1 and half hour car ride away from Chitose Airport, after all, it is in Hokkaido, you can enjoy the relaxing time thanks to the vast nature that surrounds the area.

text: Arnold Schwarzenegger's Book: Affairs, Apologies and 5 Other Revelations So Far 8:58 PM PDT 9/29/2012 by Aaron Couch FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Frazer Harrison/Getty Images Arnold Schwarzenegger, actor-turned-California governor-turned-actor, returns to the big screen as a mercenary named Trench in The Expendables 2. PHOTOS: '80s Action Stars: Where Are They Now? "Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story" doesn't hit stores until Oct. 1, but plenty of tantalizing details from the memoir have already been revealed. Although Arnold Schwarzenegger's memoir doesn't hit stores until Monday, tantalizing details about its contents have been making their way online. Many of them concern his high-profile divorce from Maria Shriver, who left the former California governor after learning he had fathered a child with a family housekeeper. There are also revelations covering his entrée into politics as well as his hopes for reconciling with Shriver. Here's what we know about Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story. PHOTOS: '80s Action Stars: Where Are They Now? 1. There were multiple affairs. In a 60 Minutes interview airing Sunday, Schwarzenegger calls cheating on his wife with his family's housekeeper, Mildred Baena, the "stupidest thing" he's done. But that wasn't his first time being unfaithful. The book also details a "hot affair" with Brigitte Nielsen, his costar in the 1985 film Red Sonja. The actor was romantically involved with--though not married to--Shriver at the time. He writes his "fling" with Nielsen helped him realize he wanted to wed Shriver, the AP reports. Nielsen went on to marry Sylvester Stallone, and wrote in a memoir of her own, published last year, she did not know Schwarzenegger was serious was Shriver at the time of their affair. PHOTOS: 26 of Hollywood's Most Popular Athletes-Turned-Actors 2. Schwarzenegger was in denial about son's paternity. The actor writes he fathered his son, Joseph, with Baenain in 1996 while his wife and children were away on vacation. After Joseph was born, Schwarzenegger tried to convince himself Baena's husband was the boy's father. As Joseph got older, it became apparent that resembled the actor. "I realized there was little doubt that he was my son," Schwarzengger writes. 3. Shriver confronted her husband the day after he left office. Unbeknownst to Schwarzenegger, Shriver has her suspicions about the affair and scheduled a couple's therapy session for Jan. 4, 2011, the day after he left the governor's mansion for good. "The minute we sat down, the therapist turned to me and said, 'Maria wanted to come here today and to ask about a child -- whether you fathered a child with your housekeeper Mildred," the actor writes. "I told the therapist, 'It's true.'" VIDEO: Arnold Schwarzenegger Tells '60 Minutes' Affair was the 'Stupidest Thing I've Done' 4. Schwarzenegger begged his wife for forgiveness. At that same couple's therapy session, the actor writes he groveled for forgiveness, saying he "screwed up." He insisted Shriver was the "perfect wife" and he was still "turned on" by her. 5. The actor still hopes to reconcile with Shriver. Though now divorced, Schwarzenegger remains optimistic he and Shriver will reconcile "You can call this denial," he writes, "but it's the way my mind works." 6. Eunice Shriver convinced her daughter to let Schwarzenegger pursue politics. Back in 2003, Shriver was not a fan of her husband seeking higher office, predicting it would be bad for their family. Her mother, JFK's sister Eunice Shriver, said that in their family, the women supported the men's ambitions. Eunice Shriver told her daughter Schwarzenegger would be "angry for the rest of his life" if she stifled his political ambitions. Shriver changed her position on Schwarzenegger's possible run for California governor, and soon after he announced his intention to run on the Tonight Show. STORY: Arnold Schwarzenegger on Bodybuilding, Steroids and His Love of Sylvester Stallone 7. Karl Rove didn't believe the actor would be governor. During a 2003 White House visit GOP strategist Karl Rove told Schwarzenegger the recall election (in which the actor ultimately ousted then Governor Gray Davis) would not happen, and that Condoleezza Rice was his pick to run for 2006. "How could Rove have been so wrong?" the actor writes. Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story hits stores Oct. 1. FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Aaron Couch email@example.com AaronCouch

There's no doubt I'm pretty tied up representing people involved with serious and catastrophic injury cases.
I'd go into another line of work immediately if all that bad stuff could come to an end.
Well, why on earth would I put up a billboard looking to help people who are being hounded by creditors?
I'm seeing too much unfair debt collection these days.
And there are too many good, well-intended decent folks whose lives are being made a living hell by greedy corporate entities.
I have no trouble with fair collections, but when the powerful cross the line they must be held responsible.
Ever since I was a kid I have been interested in Consumer Protection. It's in my blood.
How do I have the time to open a new field on top of serious injury cases?
Easy. A close friend is the country's best consumer protection lawyer. He's been kicking the butts of corporate greed for years, helping the little guy with astronomical jury verdicts.
I will team up with he and his staff.
We are going to do our best to help rid our community of those who unfairly hound and harass good folks.
We are angels of death for the bullies.

China intends to suspend some military exchanges with the U.S., in the first concrete sign of the fallout from Washington's decision to provide a $5.9 billion arms package to Taiwan.
"I think they have indicated that they're going to suspend or to cancel or postpone a series of […] military-to-military engagements," a senior U.S. administration official told reporters on Monday, according to a briefing transcript on the state department website.
Yang Jiechi, China's foreign minister, met with Hillary Clinton, secretary of state, on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly on Monday. Mr Yang used the meeting to reiterate China's strong opposition to the Obama administration's decision to sell Taiwan spare parts, training and weapons to upgrade its aging fleet of F16 fighter aircraft.
The state department official said Mr Yang had made: "very serious representations to secretary Clinton, asked the Obama administration to reconsider this decision and indicated that it would harm the trust and confidence that was established between the two sides."
When Washington announced the Taiwan arms deal last Wednesday, China immediately called in Gary Locke, U.S. ambassador in Beijing, and warned the decision would "inevitably undermine bilateral relations as well as exchanges and co-operation in military and security areas."
Although the People's Republic of China has never ruled Taiwan, it claims the democratic island as its territory and insists it must unify with the mainland eventually, with military force if necessary. The U.S. is required by domestic law to help Taipei defend itself. It has also said in a joint communiqué with Beijing that it would reduce arms sales to Taiwan over time. The two contradictory commitments frequently put Washington under pressure, and regularly result in disruption of its ties with China.
Military dialogue was suspended for most of 2010 after Washington announced another long-delayed arms package for Taiwan in January last year.
Washington had hoped to avoid such fallout this time. With both sides' chiefs of general staff and defense ministers having exchanged visits over the past year, less high-level dialogue is at stake than in 2010. But the latest comment from the state department appears to confirm that Beijing will still sacrifice some military exchanges. The state department official stressed that not all military dialogue would be affected. Some postponements or cancellations would "come over time", he said.

Two years ago, the state bought city-owned land around Hemlock and Canadice Lakes. Rochester had acquired some of properties more than a century previous in order to protect its drinking water supply.
The state may own the land, but the city still maintains it. The state pays the city to perform tasks including mowing and unplugging culverts. The arrangement was supposed to be temporary, though, and the city has already made the state's money last longer than originally intended. It's not clear what happens after that money runs out, which will be either later this year or early next year, says Bob Morrison, the city's director of water.
Some of the maintenance work, like unplugging the culverts under trails, is done to maintain water quality, Morrison says.
But this is not a fight between the city and state; the issue is long-term planning and resources. The State Department of Environmental Conservation is developing a plan for managing what's now called the Hemlock-Canadice State Forest. The plan will detail the tasks and investments — including staff — necessary to keep up the land, says John Gibbs, regional forester for the DEC. Gibbs says he can't predict what recommendations will be included in the plan.
The DEC does have staff to monitor public use of the land, he says. And the state has been doing some management tasks in the Hemlock-Canadice watershed, including erosion prevention.
For now, city and DEC staffs keep in regular contact, Morrison says. And if the DEC eventually decides not to do work that city officials deem important in the watershed, then the city could step in, he says.

Seems like every day we read breathless articles about angst and remorse in the Republican party, and how civil war may be about to break out. Will they lose the House in the next election? Will they kill each other over immigration? Is Boehner out? Is Karl Rove a traitor? Is the Tea Party over/leaving the party/imploding? Is this what is really going on?
Here's something else to think about. Something that might bother Harry Reid even more than deciding how to vote on the assault rifle ban.
Harry has a math problem. Don't worry. Keep reading. It's just arithmetic.
There are 45 Republicans in the Senate. They need 6 more to control the world's greatest deliberative body. In 2014, there are 20 Democrats and 13 Republicans up for reelection. In other words, the Democrats have a lot to lose.
The Republican in the tightest race last time was Mitch McConnell, Republican leader of the Senate, and he won 53% of the vote. I'm sure it is possible some of the Republicans will have a tough time.
But let's look at the Democrats. Seven of the states with Senate seats up in '14 were won by Romney in 2012, most by a large margin:
Baucus, Max (D-MT)
Begich, Mark (D-AK)
Hagan, Kay R. (D-NC)
Johnson, Tim (D-SD)
Landrieu, Mary L. (D-LA)
Pryor, Mark L. (D-AR)
Rockefeller, John D., IV (D-WV-Retiring)
Granted some of these individual senators may be very popular at home, but what if they are pushed to vote on major issues out of step with their states?
Here's a word problem for Harry: What happens in Montana, where Obama got 41.8% when they are reminded their Senator is a Democrat? Will they be happy if they find out he is the one pushing the Obama tax agenda as Chairman of the Finance Committee, that he was instrumental in passing Obamacare?
If seven seats aren't enough to get you thinking, consider retirements and toss-ups. The rest of the 2014 class of Democratic Senators:
Coons, Christopher A. (D-DE)
Durbin, Richard J. (D-IL)
Franken, Al (D-MN)
Harkin, Tom (D-IA- Retiring)
Kerry, John F. (D-MA)
Lautenberg, Frank R. (D-NJ)
Levin, Carl (D-MI)
Merkley, Jeff (D-OR)
Reed, Jack (D-RI)
Shaheen, Jeanne (D-NH)
Udall, Mark (D-CO)
Udall, Tom (D-NM)
Warner, Mark R. (D-VA)
Levin and Durbin haven't announced for reelection. Harkin and Rockefeller are retiring. John Kerry's seat is open. Al Franken won 42% of the vote last time. And Michigan has a Republican governor.
Shaheen won a tight race. Both Udalls and Warner won easily, but their states were in the toss-up column in 2012 until election day.
And when did Delaware become solidly blue? (Since they haven't had a strong candidate run for a Senate seat since Bill Roth). New Jersey is usually a safe seat for Democrats, but what if there are two seats open?
Of course, the same thing could have been said of the 2012 election. The Republicans had a huge advantage going in, but managed to lose what should have been some easy seats. But in an off-year election, in the second term of a President…anything can happen.
When you drill down on the details–do the math–things will need to go very, very smoothly in the next 18 months for Harry Reid to sleep well on election night.

- 3.5 Going backwards 4
- JAB 08/14/2016 3 people found the following review helpful
This book was good because it shows us a scene with the heroine giving the hero a right hook on national television on her private as she relays it to her cats. The plot starts seven weeks from the "punching" day and we see how to hero and heroine meet. The heroine wants the hero to come on her show as a guest star but the hero doesn't want too. They don't meet again till two weeks later at a party. It turns out that the first episode of the show, didn't go as expected but the hero compliments by saying that she handled it well. They seem to be in a pleasant mood till the hero sees that the heroine knows the wife of the largest shareholder of the t.v. network. He becomes pretty insulting and leaves the heroine. I am surprised that after their last conversation, the heroine lets the hero into her flat where he apologizes for his behavior and words in their last talk. What does bug me throughout the whole plot is that the hero gives her so little trust or opens up little to her but expects her to give the same. I mean, he gets mad at the woman who forgetting her lunch plan with other guy even though it was from the words of another man, who the hero displays distrust. Then another two weeks have passed and the hero comes back to the heroine's flat for his cellphone. It seems quite surprising because who would wait two weeks to get their phone. During those two weeks, the heroine received phone calls from another woman, which gives her doubt and curiosity about the hero. I did like of how when they fight, the heroine wins their argument by saying that she did is no different than what he did in judging her and the OM's relationship. He says that it wasn't an insult but looking at back at his words, it was. The hero calls the OW a dear friend and when their relationship starts to build, it goes south with one phone call. After that, the hero leaves for a foreign correspondence gig and it leads him to getting captured. The heroine learns of this and tries her best to keep going. When she learns of the hero's safe return before the media learns, instead of jumping for joy, she goes to the dear friend to deliver the good news. Yet, when the woman learns the heroine is a reporter, she kicks her out without learning the good news. Then three days later of that incident, the hero returns to the heroine but instead of smiling and hugging, he's frowning and scolding her for going to the dear friend. He thinks that she was harassing them. I loved the heroine's speech against the hero, it was amazing. A sound argument that the hero couldn't break and I was happy that she told him to get out. Next, was the day before "punching day" when the dear friend comes to see the heroine on the hero's behalf. It doesn't go well and the heroine gets the surprise that the hero wants to be on her show but only for the next day (punching day). Then five minutes before the show, the hero whispers to to the heroine that he loves her. Man, why did he just put the heroine on the roller coaster of emotion? Then we learn why the heroine punched the hero on national television because he said on national television, "Are you sure you want me to tell everyone that the only reason I'm here tonight is that I couldn't refuse you when you asked me to sleep with you?". Forget the right hook, slam the right foot on his family jewels. That's what I would have done, no wonder the heroine ran off stage. After explaining the whole story to her cat, the hero breaks in, looking relieved that the heroine is alive. I would have the heroine go straight home to pack a suitcase and find some far away cottage. The hero has her watch the rest of the show, where he uses it as a trap for the OM because the OM raped his friend's wife and used it to blackmail his friend who committed suicide from being unable to protect his wife and no way to get back at the man. He then explained to the pubic on national television that it was all an act that the heroine and him did together in order to get evidence of the OM's evil deeds. It was a sweet ending but I would have like it if the hero apologized for putting the heroine through the roller coasters emotion.

Your idols will be broken and will come to an end, and your incense altars will be cut down, and your works will be destroyed, 7 and the slain one will fall in the midst of you, and then you will know that I am Yahweh. 8 But* I will spare some, ⌊so there will be⌋* for you fugitives from the sword among the nations ⌊when you are scattered⌋* in the countries. 9 And your fugitives will remember me among the nations to which they were taken captive, that I was shattered by ⌊their adulterous heart⌋* which departed from me, and by ⌊their adulterous eyes⌋* which went after their idols, and they will feel loathing ⌊for themselves⌋,* for the evil that they did, for all of their detestable things. 10 And they will know that I am Yahweh; not ⌊in vain⌋* I spoke to bring to them this evil." ' 11 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: 'Clap your hand and stamp with your foot, and say, "Alas, for all of the detestable things of the evil of the house of Israel, ⌊because of which⌋* they will fall with the sword, with the famine, and with the plague. 12 The one who is far away will die by the plague, and the one who is near will fall by the sword, and the one who is being left behind and being spared will die by the famine, and I will complete my rage on* them. 13 And you will know that I am Yahweh ⌊when their slain ones are in the midst of their idols⌋* around their altars at every high hill, on the tops of all the mountains and under every green tree and under every leafy oak—the place at which they gave a pleasing scent for all of their idols. 14 And I will stretch out my hand against them, and I will make the land a desolation and a wasteland from the desert to Riblah in all of their dwellings, and they will know that I am Yahweh."

Chippy Chipmunk
Babies in the Garden
Perhaps the only thing cuter than a chipmunk is a baby chipmunk. Kathy M. Miller's Chippy Chipmunk: Babies in the Garden proves that assumption. After proud Papa Chippy waits one cycle of the moon for his babies to be born and another six weeks as they grow in their burrow, he delights when his four youngsters finally emerge in the garden. Named for conservationists, a naturalist president, and one of the country's Founding Fathers, Rachel, Rosalie, Roosevelt, and Benjamin gaze at their new world with wonder and curiosity.
What makes this picture book appealing for both children and adults are Miller's eighty-four full-color photographs of animals in action. As the baby chipmunks explore their garden surroundings, they discover that berries and flowers taste delicious—but dirt does not. As they also learn that birds and bunnies are their friends, an old red squirrel warns them of such predators as eagles, owls, and snakes, as well as resident Chester the Cat when he sneaks outside.
When their mother reminds them that they have instincts that warn them about danger and that she'll teach them how to survive, the active babies continue their frolicking and games. Adorable photographs show the chipmunks playing tag, leapfrog, follow-the-leader, and even hide-and-seek. After one of the babies notices Chester watching their every move from a window, Mama Lily sounds an alarm and Chippy strikes a defensive stance to protect his young. Luckily, Chester's door is locked, and the relieved chipmunks can't help but cheer, "Chip! Chip! Hooray!"
Author Kathy M. Miller is also an award-winning nature photographer whose photographs have appeared in Rescuing Wildlife: A Guide to Helping Injured and Orphaned Animals. This Chippy adventure follows her first book, Chippy Chipmunk Parties in the Garden, which won fifteen awards, including a Benjamin Franklin Award, Learning Magazine's Teacher's Choice Award, and a Mom's Choice Award.
Children will have so much fun watching the chipmunks on the go that they won't even realize that they are learning all about animal behavior. Endpapers provide even more interesting information. The opening pages introduce each baby chipmunk and the origin of their names, while the concluding pages offer such facts as: "At birth, baby chipmunks measure only 1 inch long." Readers will hope that more adorable sequels are to come from this author.

452 Walking
15 Coromandel Town
Marios Gavalas
Author And Researcher
I'm Marios, delivering the best of Aotearoa's nature walks to your device.
I've personally walked hundreds of New Zealand's tracks and spent months in libraries uncovering interesting information on New Zealand/Aotearoa. And you'll find a slice of that research on this page - enjoy!
Also known as the 309 kauri, these accessible, mature kauri trees are about 600 years old. The largest has a diameter of 1.9 metres and a girth of 6 metres. It is 16 metres to the first branch.
This area provides a glimpse of what the Coromandel forest would have looked like before logging. Massive kauri such as these would have ruled the canopy.
7 km from the Coromandel end and 14.5 km from the Whitianga end of the 309 Road, a raised parking area is opposite the signposted start of the track.
The start of the track to the falls is signposted 1 km back towards the Coromandel end of the 309 Road.
The metalled path is even, wide and only gently inclined. Wooden steps and walkways allow easy access to the trees.
The Waiau Falls are visible from the road.
It is thought these trees were saved from the axe and saw because the land was owned by a mining company. They restricted logging activity in the area.
During WWII the government wanted to cut the timber for use in the war effort. Due to the efforts of a local conservation group the trees were spared and now remain as a rare example of the forest's former glory.
A short detour takes you to a Siamese kauri. This tree was originally two separate seedlings. They grew in such close proximity to each other they eventually joined.

Lattin-Cullen girls win Tipp Community Games indoor soccer
The South finals of all four age groups in the Tipperary Community Games indoor soccer competition was hosted by Powerstown Lisronagh area in the fabulous facilities of Monroe Sports Complex.
Moycarkey Borris completed a double winning both the boys under 13 and under 15 events.
Lattin Cullen defeated Moycarkey Borris in the final of the girls under 13 competition 1-0. In the second half Maria Nash scored the vital goal to take the title to the delight of their many supporters.
In the boys under 13 competition semi-finals, Moycarkey beat Clerihan 4 – 2 and Lattin Cullen defeated Powerstown Lisronagh by a similar margin. Moycarkey's good run of luck continued in the final defeating Lattin Cullen in a very exciting game.
The boys under 15 semi finals commenced with a hotly contested match between Moycarkey and St Mary's, who played very well but were at a disadvantage as they could only field a team of 5 players in this 7 a side event, but Niall Hoctor still scored a goal in the first half while his brother Eoin scored in the second half but they could not contain the strong challenge from Moycarkey.
Semi final two was between the neighbouring areas of St. Oliver's and Powerstown where St Olivers won after another entertaining game but again they
were beaten by Moycarkey who were not going to surrender at this stage.
All winning teams will now contest the county final which is expected to take place in Templemore where county winners will go on to Munster Finals in U.L. on March 3.
The County Finals of Draughts will take place in Lattin-Cullen GAA Centre on Sunday next, February, 26 commencing at 6pm. Co-ordinator Paul Carew.

Whether you want a subdued, subtle look, or an intense, defined gaze, the innovative Double Precision Liquid Eyeliner Pen is up to the challenge.
Hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, paraben-free, alcohol-free. Tested under ophthalmological control. Suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.
I have been using this product for some time now. I particularly like the fine brush end. I use it on my brows for a very natural look. It is my fav!
I can't believe I didn't find this sooner. I have used Marcelle products exclusively for 10 years due to sensitivity, and this eyeliner did not disappoint. I loved the dual tip, so I can define under my eye with a thinner line. This eyeliner is so easy to apply even with a not-so-steady hand like mine. It lasts over 12 hours in my day and still looks great. I highly recommend.
This eye line does not smudge and goes on smoothly.
I love this product and I have used it for about 5 years now. I wish it would come in dark brown too.
I just LOVE the fact that there is a corrector on the other side. This is AMAZING! I use this corrector not only for my messed up wings, but also whenever I need to perfect my lip liner.
I also love the flow of the black and its intensity!
I tried another cruelty free eyeliner and it was awful. Barely even came out and was pricey!! This one works great, stays put and you can't beat the price!!!
I have tried so many different eyeliners from pencil, to gel, to liquid, and this is by far the best I've ever used. I use it every day now. I hate the dip type liquid eyeliner because it can get mess. And you can't control very well how much product you put on. I love this one because it's like a felt tip. And double sided, which is a bonus. So easy to apply my cats eye! The super thin tip can tend to dry out faster than the thick tip, but that's okay because I use the thick tip more. For some reason, stores in my area have stopped carrying this product and I've been literally licking my eyeliner to make it last longer haha ew. But seriously. I'm so glad you sell it online! I almost died. Along with my tastebuds. I've even hooked my best friend on this liner. I'm stocking up! Best eyeliner ever. Everyone needs this.
I tried so many different liners to get the perfect cat eye. This is even better than Stila. I stock up in case it ever gets discontinued.

Through the predawn of April 12, 1861, the first Confederate shell arched through the sky and exploded behind the walls of Fort Sumter. It touched off one of the deadliest wars in America's history.
By April 20, 1861 President Lincoln issued a call for 75,000 men to join the militia. And within five days of the call going out, the women on the home front got involved.
All over the country, Union and Confederate women, composed of the mothers, sisters, wives and sweethearts of our brave soldiers, rallied to the war effort. Patriotic passion abounded on both sides, certain the war would be short and decisive.
The U.S. Sanitary Commission was funded and supplied by the efforts of Northern women volunteers with the object of "doing what the government could not". They rolled bandages, sewed quilts, clothing, purchased medicines, and held fund raisers called "Sanitary Fairs".
It is rare to find a quilt that survived such hard use but diaries, letters and family lore tell about the quilts. Usually they were made using simple block patterns such as the 9-patch or snowball. The fabric was most likely a cheap basic calico or checked dark print. The dirt showed less if dark colors were used.
To prevent theft, all quilts distributed by the Sanitary Commission were stamped with the U.S.S.C. oval logo.
Northern women gave quilts to Northern soldiers from the beginning of the Civil War until the end. They made special quilts as well as utility quilts. Some quilts were inscribed in ink with the names and dates of those who's hands had sewn them. There was a story about a soldier that had been injured, was unresponsive and near death. They changed his bed and covered him with a quilt . He began reading the signatures on the quilt and found his wife's name. He immediately began improving and survived.
In 1863 the U.S. Sanitary Commission requested cot size quilts (approximately 48 x 84 inches) that the soldiers could also use as bedrolls and this amazing group of volunteer women made an estimated 150,000 - 250,000 sanitary commission quilts in addition to providing an abundance of other relief services.
Many Southern women tended to stitch with their family rather than forming sewing circles or societies. Some may have had little experience in sewing for themselves due to having people in the household who might have done that particular work for them. However, Southern Relief Societies were formed as the war dragged on but none were coordinated like those in the North.
The biggest challenge facing the women of the south was fabric shortage. Southern women cut up heirloom quilts and used carpet, drapes and linings from their dresses to make blankets and quilts for their soldiers. Later during the war, southern women spun cotton and made homespun fabric to be utilized for quilts and clothing. In some of their diaries they write about the roughness of the homespun fibers and of making clothing from bed ticking and basically anything else they could salvage. Due to the high cost of fabric and severe fabric shortages, they often resorted to using newspaper as quilt batting.
As you can imagine, not many of these Civil War quilts made for soldiers survive today. Many were completely worn out after the war and did not seem worth saving as well as many soldiers were buried in their quilts.
Quilts in the Civil War era seem even more precious under the dire circumstances and reasons for their creation.

Buddy Warren Gallery is pleased to announce the arrival of Barbara Friedman's "Decollation," a collection of paintings that float between the charming and the jarring. Collars, roofs, and heads are evolving themes within her paintings, paintings that follow their own paths against traditional landscapes and portraiture. Friedman relies on the traditions of representation that constitute the backdrop to her subject, but at the same time she's skeptical about them, and her stand-back attitude lets her play with the visual language of landscape and portraiture alike.
One series of Friedman's paintings, represented here, features the Dutch ruff collar. These "Big Collar" paintings derive their inspiration from Old Master portraits, while the free play of scale and color in them move the collars into contemporary and even otherworldly dramas of body and gender.
Then two summers ago Friedman cut the collar loose and let it run free through her landscapes. During a stay in Hudson, NY, she created paintings in which the collar soared over the horse farm across the street, sometimes with a head and sometimes not, really acting out the "decollation," or decapitation, in this show's title.
She also recently made paintings based on a collapsed tile roof she encountered in a Greek village, off the coast of Turkey, through which Syrian refugees were walking every day en route to Europe. The tile roofs in those paintings are subjected to dislocation, distortion, and displacement that suggest the fugitive quality of cultural, political, and economic shelter.
As Friedman worked on her new paintings, her floating collars began to morph, first into a roof, then into an ungainly, earthbound Gulliver figure. She has been rethinking Swift's tale of the out-of-place traveler while painting from still lives of little tabletop villages invaded by oversized dolls.
The artist and critic Paul D'Agostino wrote last year in After Vasari of the "gleaming whites, conflagrant oranges, sugary pinks and lustrous blues" in Friedman's paintings; "facets of Friedman's works [he wrote] render her parodical decapitations all the more uniquely, curiously unsettling." He was responding to a partnership between iridescence and mordancy that Friedman manages to keep together in this body of work, romancing on the one hand and unsettling on the other – at least until one of the partners bites the other one's head off.
Barbara Friedman has lived and worked in New York City since receiving her B.F.A. from the Rhode Island School of Design and her M.F.A. from UC Berkeley. Her work has been shown in many solo and group exhibitions, with reviews of her work appearing in the New York Times, Art in America, ARTS Magazine, The Irish Times, and elsewhere. A group of her paintings was selected for New American Paintings in the 2007 issue, another group in 2010. She is Professor of Art at Pace University.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning Ernest Hemingway, who lived and wrote in Key West, will be celebrated July 20–25 during 30th annual Hemingway Days. Festival highlights include a look-alike contest, a short story competition directed by the author's granddaughter, a play exploring Hemingway's adventures and a Marlin tournament recalling that deep-sea angling passion, just like in his stories.
Usually more than 150 bearded contestants compete in the "Papa" Hemingway Look-Alike Contest to be held at Sloppy Joe's Bar. Sloppy Joe's also spotlights the bearded brotherhood in the annual "Running of the Bulls," a spoof on Pamplona's bull and steer run. Get in line for a piece of birthday cake in celebration of Ernest's July 21st birthday.
The foremost literary event is the Lorian Hemingway Short Story Competition, which awards $2,000 annually to notable fiction writers. The hugely anticipated event is held at Casa Antigua, where Hemingway slept during his first sojourn to Key West.
Registrants for the Marlin Tournament enjoy a fish fry and open-pit pig roast before the awards ceremony; $50,000 in prizes are given out. Other festivities includes Hemingway Days Caribbean Street Fair on Duval Street and 5k sunset run throughout Old Town Key West. A sidewalk art show at the infamous Green Parrot Bar and the Arm Wrestling Contest, an annual favorite at Sloppy Joe's. An exhibition of Hemingway's memorabilia is at the Key West Museum of Art & History. A guided tour of his island-style home, now the Ernest Hemingway Home & Museum.
You must look similar to Ernest Hemingway to enter Sloppy Joe's "Hemingway look-a-like Contest". The competition is held at Sloppy Joe's, 201 Duval St., Hemingway's favorite Key West watering hole. Preliminaries are scheduled July 19 and 20, with the selection of "Papa Hemingway" set for July 21st, Hemingway's birthday.

Polyurethane rigid foams modeling project
Metadata[+] Show full item record
A theoretical model was developed to simulate the polyurethane foaming process for a rigid foam. In the model, multiple ordinary differential equations were solved by MATLAB and the model was able to predict temperature profiles by inputting foam recipe information. This initial study on foam modeling focusses on reaction kinetic parameters that were fitted to experimental temperature data as a function of time. The modeling was able to accurately model temperature profiles of single-polyol polyurethane formulations and was able to accurately predict temperature profiles of mixtures based on pure component kinetic parameters. A primary goal of this work is to expedite the ability to develop new foam formulations by simulation - especially for incorporation of new bio-based polyols into formulations. The MATLAB model was developed further to include the impact of catalyst loading for the reactions. In addition, becoming knowledge on likely fates of unreacted isocyanate and developing experimental plan to evaluate reactions with excess isocyanate in solvents are significant. ASTM isocyanate titration was applied to measure isocyanate content in system during foaming process. Experiments with different amount of catalyst were carried out to verify accuracy of the model.
