| 1 | Krishnamurty and Narasimham, 1969 report a breaking-off in the d→c 1-1 band above J'=15 which they attribute to predissociation in the upper state. Intensity anomalies are confirmed Graham and Lew, 1978 for the d →c 1-1 and 1-0 bands, but higher rotational levels (except J'=l6) do emit in transitions to the b state Graham and Lew, 1978. Similar intensity perturbations are seen in other d→b and d→c bands. |
| 2 | He = +10E-8. |
| 3 | Radiative lifetime τ(v=0) = 18 ns Smith, 1969. |
| 4 | Franck-Condon factors Smith and Liszt, 1971, Rao and Lakshman, 1973. |
| 5 | ΔG(3/2) = 1694.08. The theoretical calculations of Kouba and Ohrn, 1970 predict a potential maximum resulting from the avoided crossing of the two 1Π states arising from N(2D)+H(2S) and N(2P)+H(2S). |
| 6 | Λ-type doubling Δ vef(v=0) = +0.0165J(J+l). |
| 7 | Predissociation by rotation in v=0 above J=22 and in v=1 above J=15 Krishnamurty and Narasimham, 1969, Graham and Lew, 1978. A much weaker predissociation, not seen on the photographic plates but detected by high-resolution lifetime measurements [ Smith, Brzozowski, et al., 1976, see 11], affects the lower J levels of both v=0 and 1 and may be caused by interaction with the unstable 5Σ- state arising from ground state atomic products. All rotational structure in v=2 is diffuse except for J=1. |
| 8 | Electric dipole moments of a 1Δ, A 3Π, c 1Π = 1.49, 1.31, 1.70 D, respectively Irwin and Dalby, 1965; see also Huo, 1968. |
| 9 | Graham and Lew, 1978. |
| 10 | D1 = 26.6E-4 Graham and Lew, 1978, D2 = 51.0E-4 Graham and Lew, 1978; H0 = -26E-8 Graham and Lew, 1978, H1= -115E-8 Graham and Lew, 1978. |
| 11 | Lifetime τ(v=0,J=2) = 411 ns Smith, Brzozowski, et al., 1976, decreasing with increasing rotation to 226 ns for J=l7 owing to weak predissociation; in v=1 the longest lifetime ( 57.1 ns) was observed Smith, Brzozowski, et al., 1976 for J=4. See also Fink and Welge, 1964, Smith, 1969 whose low-resolution measurements gave τ(v=0) ~ 460 ns. Relative transition probabilities Lents, 1973. |
| 12 | A(v=0,1) = -34.79; from Veseth, 1972 who gives also spin-spin and spin-rotation interaction constants. See also Horani, Rostas, et al., 1967, Bollmark, Kopp, et al., 1970. |
| 13 | "True" rotational constants of Veseth, 1972; see also Horani, Rostas, et al., 1967, Bollmark, Kopp, et al., 1970. Λ-type doubling parameters may be found in Horani, Rostas, et al., 1967, Veseth, 1972. The effective constants Murai and Shimauchi, 1966 are Be = 16.6901, αe = 0.7440. |
| 14 | Weak predissociation in v=0 and 1 above N=25 and 15, respectively, observed by high-resolution lifetime measurements Smith, Brzozowski, et al., 1976 and attributed to interaction with the unstable 5Σ- state arising from 4S + 2S. |
| 15 | +9.9E-8J3(J+l)3 - 13E-12J4(J+l)4 Veseth, 1972; D1 = 17.85E-4, H1 = +6.0E-8 Veseth, 1972. |
| 16 | Lifetime τ(v=0,N=4) = 404 ns Smith, Brzozowski, et al., 1976, first increasing to 453 ns at N=25, then decreasing rapidly to 96 ns at N=31 owing to predissociation. Similar results for v=1, see 14. Absorption oscillator strength 0.0076 Bennett and Dalby, 1960, Fink and Welge, 1964, Smith, 1969; f values in Harrington, Modica, et al., 1966 refer to emission and should be multiplied by 2 for comparison. Relative transition probabilities Lents, 1973. |
| 17 | Undegraded 0-0 band. |
| 18 | ωeze = -0.0353 (v≤9). |
| 19 | Rotational constants from the analysis of the d→b bands [ Graham and Lew, 1978, 1≤ v"≤9]. Whittaker, 1968 gives Be = 16.7326 Whittaker, 1968 and αe = 0.6049 from the c→b 0-0 and 0-1 bands. |
| 20 | He = 11E-8. |
| 21 | Radiative lifetime τ=18 ms Zetzsch and Stuhl, 1975, Gelernt, Filseth, et al., 1975. |
| 22 | Earlier theoretical predictions by Hurley, 1959 and Cade, 1968 gave 14200 and 13100 cm-1, respectively. |
| 23 | From a comparison with ΔG(1/2) of ND. |
| 24 | v00(b-X) + v00(c-b) - v00(c-a); in very good agreement with the singlet-triplet separation of 12500 cm-1 derived by Okabe, 1970 from the difference of the threshold energies for the production of NH(c 1Π) + C0(X 1Σ) or NH(X 3Σ) + CO(a 3Π) by photodissociation of HNCO. From the photoelectron spectrum of NH- Engleking and Lineberger, 1976 find 12735 ± 137 cm-1. |
| 25 | "True" rotational constants of Veseth, 1972; spin-splitting constants γ = -0.0117, λ ~ +0.82. The evaluation of the constants by Veseth, 1972 takes fully into account the 3Π ~ 3Σ- interaction and thus leads to results which differ considerably from the effective constants of earlier investigators Dixon, 1959, Murai and Shimauchi, 1966, Bollmark, Kopp, et al., 1970, Malicet, Brion, et al., 1970. The latter are in good agreement with more precise constants obtained recently from the laser-magnetic-resonance spectrum Wayne and Radford, 1976 in v=0 and 1; Be = 16.6668, αe = 0.6470; γ(v=0) = -0.05466, γ(v=l)= -0.0517; 11(v=0,1) = +0.9198. See also Palmiere and Sink, 1976. |
| 26 | D1 = 16.88E-4, H0 = 10.48E-8; H1 = +10.2E-8 Veseth, 1972. |
| 27 | Rotation sp. 1 |
| 28 | From the limiting curve of dissociation in c 1Π Graham and Lew, 1978, see 7 and 5. Theoretical calculations by Liu and Verhaegen, 1970, Liu, Legentil, et al., 1972, Stevens, 1973 suggest D00 = 3.43, 3.31, 3.17 eV, respectively; the most recent prediction on theoretical and empirical grounds Meyer and Rosmus, 1975 is D00 = 3.40 eV. From the electron impact appearance potential of N2+ from HN3 Franklin, Dibeler, et al., 1958 follows D00 = 3.59 eV Franklin, Dibeler, et al., 1958; a shock-tube measurement Seal and Gaydon, 1966 gives D00= 3.21 eV. Both results are compatible with limits derived from the study of reactions of rare gas metastables with small NH-containing molecules Stedman, 1970, the upper limit being closer to the semi-empirical calculations of Companion and Ellison, 1960, Jordan and Longuet-Higgins, 1962, the lower limit being in better agreement with the thermochemical measurements of Kaskan and Nadler, 1972. |
| 29 | Theoretical value Liu and Verhaegen, 1970; Foner and Hudson, 1966 give an electron impact appearance potential of 13.1 eV. |
| 30 | By the laser-magnetic-resonance method; fine (see 25) and hyperfine structure constants. |

This is a person project I have been working on throughout my second year of college. It is a 2D platformer similer to Super Mario Bros 3, but with a twist. There are four characters to choose from, each that resembles a different Marvel Character. They are Captain America, Hulk, Ant Man, and Iron Man.


DESERT BLUE
Reviewed by Harvey Karten, Ph.D. Samuel Goldwyn Films Director: Morgan J. Freeman Writer: Morgan J. Freeman Cast: Brendan Sexton III, Kate Hudson, Christina Ricci, John Heard, Lucinda Jenney, Casey Affleck, Sara Gilbert, Isidra Vega, Ethan Suplee, Michael Ironside, Aunjanue Ellis, Peter Sarsgaard, Noah Taylor, Reese Witherspoon, Daniel von Bargen
Hardly anyone stops at the Bates Motel any more. It's off the main road and may get an occasional customer for its 12 cabins and 12 showers if a motorist gets caught in a blinding storm. Even if a couple of travelers did check in and a) Norman was not particularly attracted to them, b) they didn't bother to take a shower...what would they do with their time? Would they bother looking at the town, talking to the people, seeing what small attraction existed therein? Not at all likely.
In "Desert Blue," by contrast, two people motoring across the California desert do stop off, not because they're stuck in a storm or are experiencing motor trouble. They get out in Baxter, California (population 89) because that's the driver's destination. His name is Lance (John Heard), he's a professor of popular culture now writing a book about small town Americana, and seeks out the hamlet to examine the tallest ice cream cone in the country. What's a story without a conflict, though? No problem. His daughter Skye (Kate Hudson), whom he has dragged along with him, does not share her dad's feelings for civic areas smaller and less hip than L.A. or San Francisco. Skye is the star performer of a cable TV show, well known in her urban circles but quite without fame in a town lacking a single cable station. "Desert Blue" deals with the pleasures she beholds well beyond any she could have imagined. She connects with the teens who make this their home and who, contrary to the popular stereotypes, have no great desire to seek the alleged big pleasures of a metropolitan expanse.
Morgan J. Freeman, who wrote and directed this charming tale, keeps the pace nice and leisurely, the better to have us accept the conversion which the budding actress undergoes. Shades balanced precariously on the bridge of her nose and cell phone in hand, she easily passes muster as the prototype of young stardom while at the same time earning the contempt of the local teens, who include Blue (Brendan Sexton III), his best friend Cale (Ethan Suplee), Cale's girl friend Haley (Isidra Vega) All Terrain Vehicle champion Pete (Casey Affleck), and Pete's spunky girl friend Ely (Christina Ricci). When a truck carrying a secret ingredient for a cola drink explodes, some of its contents spilling over its driver, the incident is about to be written off as a simple vehicular accident. When the driver mysteriously dies, the town is quarantined by the FBI, forcing the urbane Skye to mix with the unworldly townies.
In the typical story, the locals would be fascinated by the star in their presence. In Mr. Freeman's hands, however, conventional expectations are reversed as Skye learns that each of the seemingly faceless young people has tale to unfold, some aspirations to satisfy. Sexton III, known to his core audience of teens and twenty-somethings as a decent kid surrounded by petty thieves in Freeman's "Hurricane Streets" and as a puckish adolescent in Todd Solondz's "Welcome to the Dollhouse," does a particularly fine job. As a mature 19-year-old who adores his recently departed father he is trying to fulfill his dad's dreams of turning the desert sand into an ocean park which would attract a large tourist clientele. That this small-town lad captures the affections of a big-city TV star is made believable by Sexton, whose gentle, natural ways and caring demeanor give the spoiled and cynical Skye a new way of looking at life and a few days of pure fun in a place she least expected to find any.
The audience for this film cannot help being pulled in by the simple pleasures of the kids: fun fights between a team throwing oranges at another group firing potatoes out of a cannon; the disaffected Ely's getting her kicks from dynamiting canoes--who ultimately does bring water to a parched wasteland and whose idea of what to do if this were her last day on earth is to blow herself up together with her parents. The romantic interludes enjoyed by the kids are dittoed by Skye's father and Blue's mom, Caroline (Lucinda Jenney) who enjoy lively discussions in Caroline's coffee shop while FBI Agent Bellows (Michael Ironside) is getting drunk while guarding the road to the quarantined town.

Primark's drink trolley that's identical to designer for £360 less is back in stock in Liverpool
Fans have been desperate for Primark to restock the item
by Catherine MurphyPrimark has announced its drinks trolley is finally back in selected stores - and Liverpool is one of them.
For anyone not familiar with the drinks trolley, it was initially released last month and sold out instantly after fans spotted it was practically identical to a designer one, but for much less.
The drinks trolley (or cart depending on what you prefer to call it) looks just like one by Oliver Bonas - for £360 less.
Taking to its Instagram feed, Primark announced the news on both its home account and its clothing one.
On its home account the post has received more than 12,000 likes while on its main brand Instagram the post has received more than 36,000 likes.
Primark’s trolley features two levels, a gold handle and wheels to make it easy to move about.
Oliver Bonas’ is similar in design, with its round shape and colour, though it does have more levels in the middle and doesn’t have a handle.
The design sold by Oliver Bonas, which recently opened a store at Liverpool ONE , costs £395, while Primark’s trolley comes in at £30.

Counselling
Counselling is known as talking therapy or signing therapy if you are a Deaf/BSL user. It is face to face therapy delivered in a secure trusting relationship between Counsellor and client in a safe environment.
People will often seek therapy for different reasons some examples are when they are experiencing one or more of the following:
- Coping with a long-term health condition.
- End of life
- Trauma
- Bereavement
- Relationship issues
- Harassment and bullying issues.
- Low self esteem
- Stress
- Anxiety
- Becoming a carer / caring issues.
- Parents with children with Disabilities
- Dealing with life changes e.g. divorce, imprisonment
Counselling aims are to have a positive impact in supporting people’s emotional, physical and psychological wellbeing. The purpose of Counselling is to offer a therapeutic thinking and listening space to the client.
The Counsellor does not offer advice or opinion or direct the client in what they should do. The Counsellor and client have a “talking /signing space” in which to identify and come to an understanding of the difficulties that the client is experiencing which is impacting on their life and their day to day living.
In most cases the client has a weekly counselling session. During the first few sessions the Counsellor will make an assessment of the concerns and a mutual agreement then takes place between Counsellor and client on agreed goals, objectives, and the amount of therapy needed. Some people may need or choose short term counselling which could be a few months while others need more long-term Counselling.
The outcome of counselling is that the client will be able to make the desired changes to their lives by what they have gained and experienced in their counselling sessions. They will have developed a more constructive understanding of the issues they were dealing/facing and will be able to build upon what they have gained through therapy to increase their confidence and inner strength and to face any future concerns in a more constructive way.
Testimonials
Counselling has had such a positive effect on my life, this has been so helpful.
Thank you.
I have such a better understanding of what happened to me and why. I was such an angry person, I still have down days but I understand why and am not frightened of my negative thoughts.
I met Pauline O’Halloran, a few years ago when I hit a very painful and traumatic time in my life. At the first instance I didn’t want to go to see anybody, and from day one of seeing Pauline for counselling.I knew I was in the right place and had meet the amazing lady who has now bought me to place in my life that I could never dream of reaching. Pauline gave me the tools, confidence, and self belief that I had lost in my emotions and pain. I felt like I was a closed shell that would never open again. With my time with Pauline she gently with her caring way got me to open it. I will never forget my time that I spend with Pauline. She got me to see the light at the end of a long dark tunnel. I could never thank her enough.


Bentley V8 engine turns 60
Bentley's long-running bent-eight is celebrating its 60th birthday, having grown from 6.2- to 6.75-litres throughout its life.
by Scott Collie- shares
The motoring world isn't kind to old technology. The average model cycle is eight years, with a styling change halfway through to keep things fresh – if you're really good at facelifts, maybe a model can be stretched to 12 or 13 years.
Bentley doesn't really work on the same timelines as the rest of the motoring industry, though. Forget 12 years, the V8 engine in the current Mulsanne has just turned 60.
Debuted in the 1959 Bentley S2 as a replacement for the brand's long-serving straight-six engine, the bent-eight has powered 23 models throughout its life. It started as a 6.2-litre unit, before growing to the current 6.75-litre displacement in 1971.
The motor has been redesigned to fit into smaller engine bays, reworked for emissions regulations and, with the launch of the 1985 Mulsanne Turbo, treated to forced-induction.
After starting as a single-turbo engine, the V8 gained a second turbocharger. It's also been treated to modern technology, such as cylinder deactivation, to keep it in line with modern emissions rules – but Bentley maintains the modern twin-turbo iteration still has its roots in the 1959 original.
"The original V8 was designed to deliver a step-change in performance, along with smoothness, reliability and refinement," said Dr Werner Tietz, member of the board for engineering at Bentley.
"The engine was tested over hundreds of thousands of miles in the toughest conditions, as well as at full throttle for 500 hours. The success of Bentley’s acclaimed 6¾-litre V8 today in the Mulsanne owes much to that ethos."
It's currently fitted to the Mulsanne and Mulsanne Speed, where it outputs 395kW and 1100Nm.

IIT-M girl suicide: Two students end indefinite fast
by PTITwo IIT-Madras students, who had embarked on an indefinite 'hunger strike' following the death of a girl student announced the withdrawal of their protest on Tuesday following an assurance from the management to meet their key demands.
"We have called off the (hunger) strike," Azhar Moideen, a final year Humanities student, told PTI.
They had launched the indefinite fast on the campus, demanding an internal inquiry into the conduct of faculty as sought by the family of a woman student who committed suicide recently.
Read: Father of student who committed suicide seeks justice
The fast was called off following assurance from the Dean that two of their demands would be implemented "at the earliest," while that for a probe into the conduct of faculty would be discussed with the Director later, he said.
Also read: IIT student suicide: Case transferred to Crime Branch
The Director was currently not in town and this subject came under his jurisdiction, Moideen said quoting the Dean.
Moideen said the Dean has sent a mail to all the students, assuring their demands for setting up complaints and redressal systems in every department would be implemented "at the earliest", besides a study on external issues faced by the students at the premier technical varsity.
Moideen and another student had embarked on an indefinite fast on Monday, following the alleged suicide of Fathima Latheef, a first-year Humanities student hailing from Kerala.


'Carnage' - What really happened in that footballers' VIP box at Cheltenham Festival
Former Aston Villa pair Samir Carruthers and James Collins were involved as Bristol City players came under fire for their antics at the Cheltenham horse racing festival three years ago
by Richard CusackFormer Bristol City striker Aaron Wilbraham has revealed what really went on at Cheltenham racecourse in that infamous episode.
Wilbraham was attending the races along with Luke Ayling - now of Leeds United - and former Aston Villa pair Samir Carruthers and James Collins.
The players had a private box at the 2016 Cheltenham Festival and were joined there by reality TV stars from popular show Love Island and famous models.
It got so out of hand that police stopped people from re-entering the box if they left to use the toilet, for example, leading to some players deciding to urinate into plastic cups.
And Wilbraham has revealed the inside story of the fateful day when Bristol City got onto the front pages as well as the back.
"We went there and my agent had a box,” Wilbraham told the Undr The Cosh podcast as reported by BristolLive .
“I remember all the Love Island girls were coming in and one of them had told the paparazzi what box we were all in and she flashed her t**s.
“None of the lads knew she was going and a few of them got photographed as they were looking,” he added.

You can follow our Villa reporter Ashley Preece on Twitter, and his email address is<EMAIL_ADDRESS>“It was online straight away. It was carnage in this box, my agent had probably invited too many people.
“It was a free bar and before you knew it, this box was rammed,” he added.
Naturally, once the players had sunk a few pints of ale nature started to take its course.
There was moral outrage at the time that players had been pouring their urine onto members of the public below, but that turned out not to be the case.
“They (the stewards) needed people to get out for health and safety but no one wanted to leave, so every time someone went to the toilet they weren't letting you back in," he continued.
“The lads were dying for a p*** so they were pi****g in pint glasses on the balcony.
"They weren't throwing them they were just laying them down.
“They didn't want to go because they wouldn't get back in the box for the free bar.
“The papers it was made out that they were p***ing and throwing it but that wasn't it,” he added.

One essential feature of L5Kit is converting raw data into multi-channel images. We refer to this process as rasterisation. These raw data can come from different sources, such as:
.zarr
datasets, which include information about the AV and other agents;static aerial images;
dynamic semantic maps, which include lane topologies, crosswalks, etc..
Clearly, these different sources can have different coordinates systems, which need to be converted to a single common system before we can use them together to get our final multi-channel image. L5Kit performs this operation smoothly under the hood, but you may want to know more details about these different systems if you’re trying a more experimental workflow.
Coordinate Systems¶
World Coordinate System¶
We refer to the coordinate system in the .zarr
dataset as world. This is shared by all our zarrs in a dataset
and is a 3D metric space. The entities living in this space are the AV and the agents:
AV: samples from the AV are collected using several sensors placed in the car. The AV translation is a 3D vector (XYZ), while the orientation is expressed as a 3x3 rotation matrix (counterclockwise in a right-hand system).
Agents: samples from other agents are generated while the AV moves around. The translation is a 2D vector (XY) and the orientation is expressed via a single yaw angle (counterclockwise in radians).
The origin of the world coordinate system is located at [37°25’45.6”N, 122°09’15.7”W] in Palo Alto (California, USA).
Agent Coordinate System¶
A common feature of the BEV’s rasterisation is that the agent of interest is always aligned in the same direction. In L5Kit this direction is right (i.e. the hood of the agent of interest always points to the right side of the image).
This metric space is referred to as agent and has the following features:
The agent’s position is at (0, 0);
The agent’s yaw is 0.
If you’re using one of our high-level dataset objects (either EgoDataset
or AgentDataset
) to generate samples, you can
access the agent-from-world matrix using the agent_from_world
key of the returned dict.
Note: This space is aligned with the input raster except for an intrinsic transformation (i.e. meters to pixels), which makes this space suitable as a target during training.
Image Coordinate System¶
Once rasterisation is complete, the final multi-channel image will be in the image space. This is a 2D space where (0,0) is located in the top-left corner.
If you’re using one of our high-level dataset objects (either EgoDataset
or AgentDataset
) to generate samples, you can
access the raster-from-world matrix using the raster_from_world
key on the returned dict. When building this matrix, several steps are combined:
Translate world to ego by applying the negative
ego_translation
;Rotate counter-clockwise by negative
ego_yaw
to align world such that ego faces right in the image;Scale from meters to pixels based on the value
pixel_size
set in the configuration;Translate again such that the ego is aligned to the value
ego_center
in the configuration.
Note: we ignore the z coordinate in this transformation
With this matrix, you can transform a point from world to image space and vice versa using its inverse.
One application of this is drawing trajectories on the image:
data = dataset[0] # this comes from either EgoDataset or AgentDataset
im = dataset.rasterizer.to_rgb(data["image"].transpose(1, 2, 0)) # convert raster into rgb
# transform points from agent local coordinate to world coordinate
positions_in_world = transform_points(data["target_positions"], data["world_from_agent"])
# transform from world coordinates onto raster
positions_in_raster = transform_points(positions_in_world, data["raster_from_world"])
draw_trajectory(im, positions_in_raster, TARGET_POINTS_COLOR, yaws=data["target_yaws"])
Satellite Coordinate System¶
Satellite information is stored as an RGB image in the aerial_map
folder of the dataset. Together with that we provide
a matrix to convert from the ECEF reference system to this image reference system (i.e. converting XYZ ECEF coordinates into a 2D pixel coordinates).
However, the .zarr
stores information in the world reference system. As such, an additional conversion is required from world to this image reference system:
world coordinates must be converted into ECEF coordinates. This transformation matrix is currently hard-coded but will be shipped with the dataset in the future. It is dataset dependent as it encodes where the dataset world origin is located in the Earth frame;
ECEF coordinates must be converted into the aerial image reference system using the above mentioned matrix.
The SatelliteRasterizer
and its derived classes combine these two matrices into a single one and directly convert
world coordinates from the .zarr
into 2D pixels coordinates. In this way, you can rasterise around an agent in the .zarr
(whose coordinates are in the world reference system)
Semantic Coordinate System¶
Semantic information is stored as a protobuf file. The protobuf store information as a list of elements of different types (e.g lanes, crosswalks, etc).
Each elements can have one or multiple geometric features (e.g. the left and right lane boundaries) which are described as a list of 3D points.
Each element’s features are localised in its local coordinate system:
features coordinates are expressed in centimeters deltas in an ENU reference system. This system is valid only for that feature (i.e. two features with the same coordinates values are not in the same location);
the system latitude and longitude, which localise the feature in a global reference system. This can be used for example to move the feature into a common space (e.g. world or ECEF)
The MapAPI
class has a set of functionality to convert these local spaces into a global reference system.
When you query it for a supported element (only lanes and crosswalks currently):
the geometric feature(s) is converted from deltas to absolute values;
the feature is then converted from ENU into ECEF by using its GeoFrame reference (lat, lng);
the features is finally converted from ECEF to world (this is the reason for the
world_to_ecef
arg in theMapAPI
constructor).
As these operations are computationally expensive, the function results are LRUcached


Quote expansions in case patterns to match literally rather than as a glob.
case $input in
- ) echo "Reading from stdin..." ;;
$output ) echo "Input should be different from output" ;;
esac
case $input in
- ) echo "Reading from stdin..." ;;
"$output" ) echo "Input should be different from output" ;;
esac
When unquoted variables and command expansions are used in case branch patterns, they will be interpreted as globs.
This can lead to some surprising behavior, such as case $x in $x) trigger;; esac
not triggering in some cases, such as when x='Pride and Prejudice [1813].epub'
.
To match the literal content of the variable or expansion, make sure to double quote the expansion.
If you intended to match a dynamically generated pattern, you can ignore this suggestion with a directive.
[[ $x = $x ]]

JDBC To Other Databases
Spark SQL also includes a data source that can read data from other databases using JDBC. This functionality should be preferred over using JdbcRDD. This is because the results are returned as a DataFrame and they can easily be processed in Spark SQL or joined with other data sources. The JDBC data source is also easier to use from Java or Python as it does not require the user to provide a ClassTag. (Note that this is different than the Spark SQL JDBC server, which allows other applications to run queries using Spark SQL).
To get started you will need to include the JDBC driver for your particular database on the spark classpath. For example, to connect to postgres from the Spark Shell you would run the following command:
Tables from the remote database can be loaded as a DataFrame or Spark SQL temporary view using
the Data Sources API. Users can specify the JDBC connection properties in the data source options.
user
and password
are normally provided as connection properties for
logging into the data sources. In addition to the connection properties, Spark also supports
the following case-insensitive options:
| Property Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
url |
The JDBC URL to connect to. The source-specific connection properties may be specified in the URL. e.g., jdbc:postgresql://localhost/test?user=fred&password=secret
|
dbtable |
The JDBC table that should be read from or written into. Note that when using it in the read
path anything that is valid in a FROM clause of a SQL query can be used.
For example, instead of a full table you could also use a subquery in parentheses. It is not
allowed to specify `dbtable` and `query` options at the same time.
|
query |
A query that will be used to read data into Spark. The specified query will be parenthesized and used
as a subquery in the FROM clause. Spark will also assign an alias to the subquery clause.
As an example, spark will issue a query of the following form to the JDBC Source. SELECT <columns> FROM (<user_specified_query>) spark_gen_alias Below are couple of restrictions while using this option.
|
driver |
The class name of the JDBC driver to use to connect to this URL. |
partitionColumn, lowerBound, upperBound |
These options must all be specified if any of them is specified. In addition,
numPartitions must be specified. They describe how to partition the table when
reading in parallel from multiple workers.
partitionColumn must be a numeric, date, or timestamp column from the table in question.
Notice that lowerBound and upperBound are just used to decide the
partition stride, not for filtering the rows in table. So all rows in the table will be
partitioned and returned. This option applies only to reading.
|
numPartitions |
The maximum number of partitions that can be used for parallelism in table reading and
writing. This also determines the maximum number of concurrent JDBC connections.
If the number of partitions to write exceeds this limit, we decrease it to this limit by
calling coalesce(numPartitions) before writing.
|
queryTimeout |
The number of seconds the driver will wait for a Statement object to execute to the given
number of seconds. Zero means there is no limit. In the write path, this option depends on
how JDBC drivers implement the API setQueryTimeout , e.g., the h2 JDBC driver
checks the timeout of each query instead of an entire JDBC batch.
It defaults to 0 .
|
fetchsize |
The JDBC fetch size, which determines how many rows to fetch per round trip. This can help performance on JDBC drivers which default to low fetch size (eg. Oracle with 10 rows). This option applies only to reading. |
batchsize |
The JDBC batch size, which determines how many rows to insert per round trip. This can help performance on JDBC drivers. This option applies only to writing. It defaults to 1000 .
|
isolationLevel |
The transaction isolation level, which applies to current connection. It can be one of NONE , READ_COMMITTED , READ_UNCOMMITTED , REPEATABLE_READ , or SERIALIZABLE , corresponding to standard transaction isolation levels defined by JDBC's Connection object, with default of READ_UNCOMMITTED . This option applies only to writing. Please refer the documentation in java.sql.Connection .
|
sessionInitStatement |
After each database session is opened to the remote DB and before starting to read data, this option executes a custom SQL statement (or a PL/SQL block). Use this to implement session initialization code. Example: option("sessionInitStatement", """BEGIN execute immediate 'alter session set "_serial_direct_read"=true'; END;""")
|
truncate |
This is a JDBC writer related option. When SaveMode.Overwrite is enabled, this option causes Spark to truncate an existing table instead of dropping and recreating it. This can be more efficient, and prevents the table metadata (e.g., indices) from being removed. However, it will not work in some cases, such as when the new data has a different schema. It defaults to false . This option applies only to writing.
|
cascadeTruncate |
This is a JDBC writer related option. If enabled and supported by the JDBC database (PostgreSQL and Oracle at the moment), this options allows execution of a TRUNCATE TABLE t CASCADE (in the case of PostgreSQL a TRUNCATE TABLE ONLY t CASCADE is executed to prevent inadvertently truncating descendant tables). This will affect other tables, and thus should be used with care. This option applies only to writing. It defaults to the default cascading truncate behaviour of the JDBC database in question, specified in the isCascadeTruncate in each JDBCDialect.
|
createTableOptions |
This is a JDBC writer related option. If specified, this option allows setting of database-specific table and partition options when creating a table (e.g., CREATE TABLE t (name string) ENGINE=InnoDB. ). This option applies only to writing.
|
createTableColumnTypes |
The database column data types to use instead of the defaults, when creating the table. Data type information should be specified in the same format as CREATE TABLE columns syntax (e.g: "name CHAR(64), comments VARCHAR(1024)") . The specified types should be valid spark sql data types. This option applies only to writing.
|
customSchema |
The custom schema to use for reading data from JDBC connectors. For example, "id DECIMAL(38, 0), name STRING" . You can also specify partial fields, and the others use the default type mapping. For example, "id DECIMAL(38, 0)" . The column names should be identical to the corresponding column names of JDBC table. Users can specify the corresponding data types of Spark SQL instead of using the defaults. This option applies only to reading.
|
pushDownPredicate |
The option to enable or disable predicate push-down into the JDBC data source. The default value is true, in which case Spark will push down filters to the JDBC data source as much as possible. Otherwise, if set to false, no filter will be pushed down to the JDBC data source and thus all filters will be handled by Spark. Predicate push-down is usually turned off when the predicate filtering is performed faster by Spark than by the JDBC data source. |

ROBOCOP (1987) Starring: Peter Weller and Nancy Allen Directed by: Paul Verhoeven
This movie was one of the first American films done by director Paul Verhoeven. He has done films since then such as BASIC INSTICT and STARSHIP TROOPERS. All of his movies have one main thing in common- they don't skimp on the violence. In a Verhoeven movie a guy doesn't get shot once in the chest- he gets shot many times all over the body.
ROBOCOP takes place in Detroit in the future. Things are pretty bleak. The company OCP rules the city with an iron fist and is moving in on running the police force. Peter Weller plays a cop who goes on a mission with his partner, Nancy Allen. Peter Weller goes in an empty room alone and gets killed.
Meanwhile OCP has a failed demonstration of a ED-209 model robot crime fighter. Someone comes up with the idea of having a cyborg Robocop so they use any parts worth scalvaging from Peter Weller and make him into the Robocop the movie is titled after.
The plot of this movie generally runs at a decent pace. It drags a bit towards the end with Robocop wanting to finish everybody off, but plot twists keep it exciting. The acting is bad from Weller when he is human, but very good when he is Robocop. Nancy Allen does a decent job. This movie doesn't leave itself open for a sequel exactly. But they made one anyway. Enter...
*** out of ****
ROBOCOP 2 Starring: Peter Weller and Nancy Allen Directed by: Irvin Kershner
Detroit is in a more bleak state than it was in the first film. OCP is trying to develop an improved 'Robocop 2' that will be more than a match for criminals. Most of the police force is on strike due to OCP taking it over, leaving Robocop to be the police force in the city.
This film is pretty bizaare. It has a 13 year-old drug-lord who curses as much as Eddie Murphy, even MORE violence than the original, and some more humor. The plot of this movie is pretty large, almost too much so. There are three or four plot lines weaving around that don't really match up. The effects are still decent though.
This sequel isn't more of the same really, just a darker version ROBOCOP dealing more with drugs than with armed criminals. If you liked the first one, watch this. But be dissapointed. So later comes...
**1/2 out of ****
ROBOCOP 3 Starring Nancy Allen and Robert John Burke
OCP is now owned by a large Japanese company. Robocop joins a band of rebels to counter-attack the evil Empire, I mean OCP. The Japanese send a cyborg-ninja to deal with Robocop. Among other things...
This movie is easier to follow than the last one. Which means the plot isn't quite as crowded. This movie isn't anything special though. Just more of Robocop blasting things up in a more kid-friendly way. Really not reccomended.

A few more places to visit in Singapore
by Monika Suchoszek
St John’s Island and Kusu Island
18S$ return ticket, departure from Marina South Pier, there are only a few connections a day, check the current schedule online.
First, after 25 minutes, the boat arrived at St John’s Island, where I spent few hours walking on a beach and sunbathing. You can meet many cats there laying in a shadow, resting. Time passes here slowly. The information board on the island says this place served as a quarantine station for e.g. cholera. Later, there was drug rehabilitation center and finally in 1975 this place was converted into a weekend resort, nowadays it is a popular getaway :)
The same boat took us to our next stop, Kusu Island. Legend has it that a huge tortoise transformed himself into this island to rescue shipwreck survivors. Now, there are two temples, beaches and picnic spots for Singaporeans to escape from the busy life in the city. Citizens remember about brave animals and therefore on island you can find tortoise shelter. I noticed that few of them had a gold shell. People believe that touching a tortoise can bring good fortune :)
Durian stall
Ah Di Dempsey Durian stall, 7 Dempsey Road, Singapore
I think it was a smart idea to try the king of the fruits from one of the best places in Singapore. I guess the experience will not be so good when trying one from Chinatown :p Even the characteristic smell of the ripe durian was different on every stall, depending on a variety and freshness of the fruits. King of Kings was the variety we tried (around 20S$ per kg), very sweet flavour with a creamy consistency (not surprising, consists of fifty-fifty carbohydrates and fat :p). Using disposable plastic gloves was very useful as the pulp turned up to be the consistence of a sticky pudding :D I heard you need to try this fruit a few times to really know is you are durian lover or not. Actually, I need to admit that taste was different with every bite :) According to some studies, genes regulating the sulphur pathway are responsible for the unbearable smell of this fruit (though after few minutes we didn’t have any problems with the smell anymore). The owner of the stall is really en expert and can easily recognize good quality fruits but smelling them and tapping them with his machete.
Sands Sky Park - observatory deck
21S$ admission fee, tickets bought online
Nice view on the whole Marina Bay, Gardens by the Bay, Esplanade Theaters and sky scrapers. Located on the 57th floor of Marina Bay Sands hotel. Especially worth to go in the evening and admire a sunset and watch the spectacularly illuminated super trees in the Gardens by the Bay. Hotel guests can also enjoy infinity pool, visible to us only from a distance. There is also a bar where you can enjoy a drink with this amazing view :)
Bukit Timah and MacRitchie nature reservoir
free entrance
Our hike started near Beauty World MRT station, after reaching Bukit Timah summit (163.63m) we walked in the direction to MacRitchie reservoir, and eventually finished our hike at Venus car park where we took a bus to one of the near MRT stations. The walk in total was around 14km, water was only available at the Rangers Station so remember to take snacks and plenty of water with you. The TreeTop Walk, accessible only from the Ranger Station (one way pass), is 250m long, 25m above the forest floor at the highest point. This free-standing suspension bridge is the highlight of the park (open Tuesday-Sunday, 9am-5pm). We have seen monkeys (one wanted to steal our bags!), a small snake (a banded flying snake), lizards and many interesting plants. We are used to hike with the heavy backpacks, however this trip made as really exhausted! High temperatures and humidity ever higher than in the city made this day really difficult but it was worth it! :D
Haw Par Villa
262 Pasir Panjang Rd, Singapore, free entry
Built in 1937 by two Chinese brothers as a place for teaching traditional Chinese values. Now, converted into the theme park showing scenes from Chinese culture, folklore and mythology. We found there countless colorful statues from sumo wrestles, through mermaids to laughing Buddha. The number of different scenes presented in the park was overwhelming for me … or maybe that was due to the high temperatures :p It is very different for the other places in Singapore so you should visit it to get a feeling of Chinese folklore.
Sentosa Island
free entrance by the bridge until the end of 2018
We entered the island by boardwalk from Harbour Front MRT station. The huge, white name “Santosa” on a green hills reminds us the famous sign “Hollywood” in Los Angeles ;) The are many attractions on the island (Universal Studios Singapore, Adventure Park or Trick Eye Museum), you can purchase a ticket for each separately or buy a combined ticket for many of them and save money. We decided to just walk through the west part of the island (which is in general pretty big!), passing the Merlion, Universal Studios Globe, part of Imbiah trail. There are also few public beaches and many dining areas.
