I ran into this when I wrote a site on a url with a path, where the code above works great, but then wanted to put it on a subdomain, /somepage.php, where things started breaking. If you put that URL as the action on a form, for example, submitting the form will try to go to. However dirname returns a slash if the path you specify is the root, so $url in that case would become '//somepage.php'. The dirname function does not usually return a slash on the end, which might encourage you to create links using code like this: In short this seems to be more of a string manipulation function that strips off the last non-null file or directory element off of a path string. Would return the same result as in my example above. one might think that if the path given was a directory then dirname would return the entire original path since that is a directory name.)įurther the presense of a directory separator at the end of the path does not necessarily indicate that last item of the path is a directory, and soĭirname('/usr/local/magic/bin/') #note final '/' Returns '/usr/local/magic' and not just 'magic'Īlso it is not immediately obvious that dirname effectively returns the parent directory of the last item of the path regardless of whether the last item is a directory or a file. From experimentation it appears to be the latter. "/etc/passwd") it is not obvious whether dirname returns the single path element of the parent directory or whether it returns the whole path up to and including the parent directory.

It is an exploration of humanity against all odds, with the Hollywood action staples to capstone the film with intensity.Ģ8 Weeks Later is a 2007 horror movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 40 minutes. The film may be too bleak for some, as the ending puts an immediate stamp on the true grimness of humanity. Characters die by the handful, and even the main protagonists are only shortly immune to the effects of death and the virus. This causes a domino effect of action and drama, as the disease spreads throughout the commune, and a few select survivors strive to protect the children and get them to a place to be studied. Scarlet and Doyle, two new survivors who come across the children, make the discovery that the children may actually be immune to the disease, and could possibly hold a cure. The film than focuses on Tammy and Andy, a brother/sister duo who are estranged from their mother and forced to venture this new dark world alone. Any survivors remaining are left to fend for themselves. It shows us a more global viewpoint, where NATO forces are sent in to kill anyone in specified vicinities, and they gate down and close down areas. The film remains focused on this group for a lengthy duration, as they struggle to survive and ward off a group of infected "zombies." Eventually, the pseudo-undead overwhelm them, and the few that survive are forced to move to a new location. Those affected with the virus here are frenetic and fast, often individualized as opposed to clumped and groups, and, most importantly, pretty darn smart.ĭon and Alice Harris are married, and find refuge alongside a group of estranged survivors in a barricaded cottage. But this is where the similarities end, as most fiction as zombies as slow and tottering undead beings. The Rage virus is similar to fictional zombies in that those affected by it are mindless and eat flesh. The film follows a group of survivors of the initial outbreak of the Rage virus. If you thought the first time around was dark, this second iteration in the series is far more ruthlessly sadistic. The film is the sequel to the 2002 film 28 Days Later. The future is bleak, angry, sinister, and full of bodies. It is an exploration of humanity against all odds, with the Hollywood action staples to capstone the film with intensity. Don and Alice Harris are married, and find refuge alongside a group of estranged survivors in a barricaded cottage. Those affected with the virus here are frenetic and fast, often individualized as opposed to clumped and groups, and, most importantly, pretty darn smart.

In contrast to existing water footprint studies, which use global averages, the InoCottonGROW project develops a detailed water inventory database to model region-specific cause-and-effect relationships. The water footprint will be further developed as a control instrument to help local decision-makers manage scarce water resources and provide consumers with criteria for making conscious purchase decisions. The aim is not only to analyze the current state with various methods such as remote sensing, model approaches and company audits, but also to show in five demonstration projects where improvements along the value chain can be technically, economically and institutionally implemented: from cotton irrigation to environmentally friendly dyes and water-saving textile machines to textile wastewater treatment and pollutant analysis. The InoCottonGROW project is a joint project of 26 cooperation partners from Germany, Pakistan and Turkey, with the aim to contribute innovative impulses to the sustainable use of water in the cotton textile supply chain. The high need for irrigation in cotton cultivation and the discharge of untreated wastewater from textile production mean that the water is inaccessible to other users or can no longer be used due to its low quality. Global water resources are regionally endangered by the production of water-intensive cotton textiles in arid and semi-arid regions. If Lynch's movie inspired a generation of devotees and impressionable children, I imagine that this superior modern version will do likewise. The sweeping vistas and startling science fiction imagery have so much power and grandeur to them. If you can watch the movie on a big screen, or at least a bigger screen, then you owe it to yourself to do so. On Arrakis, Paul and his father must tackle this very delicate new mission while keeping the many adversaries at bay.Īs anticipated, Dune is yet another visually stunning and gorgeously immersive visual experience from one of the greatest visual filmmakers working today. Paul Atriedes (Timothee Chalamet) is his family's heir and much is expected of him, especially from his mother, Lady Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson), who believes he may be long-prophesied messiah. The other houses will scheme to engineer the failure and desolation of House Atreides, especially House Harkonnen, led by the Baron (Stellan Skarsgard), who is like a mixture between Marlon Brando from Apocalypse Now and Marlon Brando from The Island of Doctor Moreau (plus with levitation powers?). Duke Leto Atreides (Oscar Isaac) sees great opportunity but also great danger. The top family houses are vying for dominance and House Atreides has been assigned by the unseen Emperor to rule over Arrakis and bring it and its spice production back in line. It's a desert world inhabited by poor natives, Freeman, who live a moisture-preserving life mining the natural "spice," a special substance that makes space travel capable as well as prolonging human life. In the distant future, like 10,000 A.D., mankind has colonized worlds and the most important planet of them all is Arrakis. However, it's unlikely to watch this version of Dune and feel like you got a full movie for your money. Alas, I watched the 2021 Dune at home, and I found myself enjoying the experience and development of the world building. It was originally slated to be released in 2020, and after the studio planned to release Dune onto its HBO Max streaming service, Villeneuve and the production company negotiated to make sure a theatrical release would still be an important part of the plan. So when acclaimed filmmaker Denis Villeneuve (Arrival, Blade Runner 2049) became attached to direct a big-budget, large-scale adaptation of Herbert's novel, I was finally interested for the first time in my life. I never watched the 1984 David Lynch adaptation that was met with great derision from critics and fans alike, although it does have its vocal defenders (Hindsight alert: Lynch turned down directing Return of the Jedi to helm Dune). Maybe I was too rash, and maybe my older present self would be more accommodating to the struggle, or maybe it just wasn't worth the effort. After those five excruciating pages, I gave up. I can still recall my frustration of reading those first five pages and having to repeatedly flip back and forth to a twenty-five-page glossary of terms so that I could even start to comprehend what was happening on the page. I had begun to read more fantasy literature and was looking at older, heralded novels. I attempted to read Frank Herbert's novel Dune when I was in the seventh grade. Would be a great shame if the unconfirmed sequel(s) not made! I hope it does well and isn't forgotten like Bladerunner 2042. I appreciated that the film focused on setting the stage on Arrakis, but not seeing even a glimpse of the Emperor and/or the Spacing Guild felt like omitting huge players in the political narrative and world building.Īnyway, a very good movie otherwise if you like slow burn dramatic space operas with heavy lore. Villeneuve was so focused on creating this ambience of a grounded, bleak political landscape that it feels like he neglected the immersion of a super heated desert. The film insists on informing me of these things but the super muted and cool tones and lack of heat waves on camera were unconvincing. I feel the color tones used really did a disservice in convincing me how incredibly hot, uninhabitable and valuable water is on Arrakis. However I liked the liberties it took with storytelling and my memory is foggy but it also made the narrative easier to follow than previous iterations. Granted this first installment doesn't work much as a standalone film and is very setup heavy for a sequel. (Wtf was that?)ĭune 2021 is still exactly the slow-burn, atmospheric space opera it was intended to be but now with modern art direction and cinematography that really pushes those elements. I didn't read the books but was very much into the 2000-2003 miniseries on SciFi Channel (that I still recommend, stuff like this just isn't being made anymore with the closest modern thing maybe being "The Expanse") and also had the recent displeasure of watching the original 1984 film. In yin and yang terminology, the dragon is the yang (masculinity) and the pheasant is the yin (female), identifying the emperor and empress, respectively. The pheasant, also depicted as a phoenix, is a symbol of literary refinement and the entirety of the natural world, along with the dragon. Throughout centuries, the depiction of the dragon evolved from a snake-like creature in the pre- Qin dynasty (221 BC) to a long serpentine creature that carries a combination of many animals. The dragon, which is capable of transformation, also represents the emperor’s ability to adapt. The ancient Chinese believed that dragons were the rulers of the seas and skies. In Chinese mythology and folklore, the Chinese dragon, although a mythological creature, is believed to be the most powerful animal and is highly revered to be associated with the emperor. The five-clawed dragon is the emperor’s sacred symbol of imperial power, its dignity, adaptability, and strength. They represent stability, the Earth itself, and the emperor’s ability to rule earth and water. The mountains on the robes are mostly seen as the Sacred Mountains of China which are five of the most renowned mountains in Chinese history. As the three stars symbolize the emperor himself, it represents his unending source of pardon and love. Constellation of Three Stars (星辰 – xīngchén)Īccompanied by the sun and moon, the constellation of three stars represents the cosmic universe, or possibly the Big Dipper. The moon’s passive principle is Yin, which represents femininity, darkness, and the earth.ģ. This moon rabbit is believed to be the companion of the Chinese moon goddess Chang’e. Instead of a crow, a legendary hare named, the Jade Rabbit, is enclosed in the disk and is constantly seen pounding the elixir of immortality. Compared to the sun that is depicted as a red disk, the moon is a light shade of blue or green. The Chinese believe the moon is a symbol of heaven. The Sun’s active principle is Yang, which represents masculinity, imperial sovereignty, and brightness. It has been believed that the crow, which has been a creature of various mythologies, inhabits and represents the Sun. The sun is depicted as the source of life and enlightenment in the context of sovereignty, and it’s oftentimes represented by the three legged crow on a red disc.

Schema changes are always a topic for a DWH team. One of the ways which we are using to execute the query given above in Apache Airflow is to create tasks of each row and execute it as an independent task. Truncate your_schema_name.' + TABLE_NAME + ' įrom ‘’s3://path/to/data/’ + TABLE_NAME +įinally, we have every ingredient for our recipe! But how do we execute it? Well, there are many ways to do it. Listagg(table_definition) + ' ) ' table_definition, Ltrim(TO_CHAR(GETDATE()::date -1 ,‘YYYYMM’),‘0’) AS partition_year_month (comma :: VARCHAR || ' ' || COLUMN_NAME || ' ' || data_type :: VARCHAR) :: VARCHAR AS DROP TABLEĬREATE TEMP TABLE table_definition_temp AS Now we have schemas generated automatically (YAY!! :-)).īut how do we generate copy command dynamically as well, so we can load data from S3 to Redshift? Well, it turns out that we can quite easily add one more column with few modifications. Pffffff, finally now we have one row for one table and its table definition generated dynamically. This function creates multiple rows, adds them as one and we can group by table name. Luckily, we have one great function in Redshift to help us, called “listagg”. The query given above provides us with an unusual data structure and many rows per tables which does not make sense at all. THEN ‘varchar’ + ‘(’ + character_maximum_length + ‘)’ĪND COLUMN_NAME NOT IN (‘your_partition_name’) THEN ‘create table ’ + TABLE_NAME + ' ( ' The query given below provides us with data regarding a table and weird concatenation case when statement which result in many rows for one table – but do not worry □ it will make sense shortly. Some data types in Redshift are different to Athena – for example struct and array is stored as super data type in Redshift. Therefore, we can use the SVV_COLUMNS table to get the positions of columns and may be filter some of columns which are not part of the table, for example a partitioned column. Good news is that Redshift has its own internal metadata tables where information about table definition is stored. Now the next question is how to create tables so we can use the Redshift COPY command to load data. Iam_role ‘arn:aws:iam::your_arn_number:role/your_redshift_role’ Īlright – So now first challenge solved!!! create external schema schema_name_of_your_choice Therefore, we can create an external schema with example schema given below and we will receive all tables from Athena lists and make it accessible with external schema in Redshift. The good news is, that we can retrieve the meta data of those files via AWS Athena and Redshift Spectrum. In order to generate a schema in AWS Redshift, it needs to know the meta data of the parquet files. Our use case for the DWH is, to push our data into AWS Redshift, which is a columnar MPP database and used for our Data Warehousing purpose. On top we have Schema Crawler running on it and are generating a schema automatically, which is accessible from AWS Athena. The data is stored in S3, partitioned by year and month. Streaming services are the new norm for data ingestion and therefore we are using Apache Kafka to ingest data in a columnar parquet format in S3. Most movers charge between $5 and $15 per mile for actual transportation. Because of the size and length of the manufactured home, movers must travel slowly, use major highways, and may frequently stop to replace tires and axles as needed. Then, they will drive to the destination, often with one or more guide cars, which are required by law in most states to protect other travelers on the roads. Movers must first lift the home off of the base to install the wheels so that they can tow it. Transporting manufactured homes is often difficult because most of them weigh in excess of 18,000 lbs.
