1She prospered their affairs through the holy prophet.a
2They journeyed through the uninhabited desert,
and in lonely places they pitched their tents;b
3they withstood enemies and warded off their foes.c
4When they thirsted, they called upon you,
and water was given them from the sheer rock,
a quenching of their thirst from the hard stone.
5For by the things through which their foes were punished
they in their need were benefited.d
First Example: Water Punishes the Egyptians and Benefits the Israelites
6Instead of a river's* perennial source,
troubled with impure bloode
7as a rebuke to the decree for the slaying of infants,
You gave them abundant water beyond their hope,
8after you had shown by the thirst they experienced
how you punished their adversaries.
9For when they had been tried, though only mildly chastised,f
they recognized how the wicked, condemned in anger, were being tormented.
10You tested your own people, admonishing them as a father;
but as a stern king you probed and condemned the wicked.
11Those near and far were equally afflicted:g
12for a twofold grief* took hold of themh
and a groaning at the remembrance of the ones who had departed.
13For when they heard that the cause of their own torments
was a benefit to these others, they recognized the Lord.
14For though they had mocked and rejected him who had been cast out and abandoned long ago,
in the final outcome, they marveled at him,
since their thirst proved unlike that of the righteous.i
Second Example: Animals Punish the Egyptians and Benefit the Israelites
15In return for their senseless, wicked thoughts,
which misled them into worshiping dumb* serpents and worthless insects,
You sent upon them swarms of dumb creatures for vengeance;j
16that they might recognize that one is punished by the very things through which one sins.k
Digression on God's Mercy
17For not without means was your almighty hand,l
that had fashioned the universe from formless matter,*
to send upon them many bears or fierce lions,
18Or newly created, wrathful, unknown beasts
breathing forth fiery breath,
Or pouring out roaring smoke,
or flashing terrible sparks from their eyes.
19Not only could these attack and completely destroy them;
even their frightful appearance itself could slay.
20Even without these, they could have been killed at a single blast,
pursued by justice
and winnowed by your mighty spirit.
But you have disposed all things by measure and number and weight.m
21For great strength is always present with you;
who can resist the might of your arm?n
22Indeed, before you the whole universe is like a grain from a balance,*
or a drop of morning dew come down upon the earth.o
23* But you have mercy on all, because you can do all things;
and you overlook sins for the sake of repentance.p
24For you love all things that are
and loathe nothing that you have made;
for you would not fashion what you hate.q
25How could a thing remain, unless you willed it;
or be preserved, had it not been called forth by you?r
26But you spare all things, because they are yours,
O Ruler and Lover of souls,s
12:1for your imperishable spirit is in all things!a
* [11:2–19:22] Few verses in chaps. 11–19 can be fully understood without consulting the passages in the Pentateuch which are indicated in the cross-references. The theme of this part of the book is expressed in v. 5 and is illustrated in the following chapters by five examples drawn from Exodus events.
* [11:6–8] River: the Nile; the contrast is between the first plague of Egypt (Ex 7:17–24) and the water drawn from the rock in Horeb (Ex 17:5–7; Nm 20:8–11).
* [11:12] Twofold grief: the double distress described in vv. 13–14.
* [11:15] Dumb: that is, irrational.
* [11:17] Formless matter: a Greek philosophical concept is used to interpret the chaos of Gn 1:2.
* [11:22] Grain from a balance: a tiny particle used for weighing on sensitive scales.
* [11:23] The combination of divine mercy and power is an unusual paradox, but cf. 12:15–18; Ps 62:12–13; Sir 2:18. The main emphasis is on a creating that is motivated by love; the divine "imperishable spirit" (either Wisdom as in 1:4, 7, or perhaps the breath of life as in Gn 2:7) is in everything (12:1).
b. [11:2–5] Ex 17:2–6; Nm 20:1–13; Ps 63:2; 107:4–7; Jer 2:6.
c. [11:3] Ex 17:8–16; Nm 21:1–3, 21–35; 31:1–12; Ps 118:10–12.
e. [11:6–8] Wis 18:5; Ex 1:22; 7:17–24.
f. [11:9–11] Wis 3:5; 16:3–4; Dt 8:2–5; 2 Mc 6:12–16; Ps 6:2; Prv 3:12.
h. [11:12–13] Wis 16:8; Ex 14:4, 18.
j. [11:15] Wis 12:23–24; 15:18–16:1; Ex 7:26–8:11.
k. [11:16] Wis 12:23, 27; Ex 10:16; Prv 1:31–32; 26:27.
l. [11:17–19] Wis 12:8–9; 16:1, 5; Gn 1:1–2; Dt 32:24; 2 Kgs 17:25–26; Hos 13:4–8.
n. [11:21] Wis 12:12; 2 Chr 20:6.

While the COVID-19 pandemic has spawned an unprecedented wave of unemployment, many economists are predicting a strong recovery. Those employers offering great benefits packages will have a clear edge retaining existing employees and attracting the best talent over the long haul.
Here are 5 ways to develop a top-notch benefits package that keeps employees happy and your business thriving.
- Do your research. You don't have to reinvent the wheel if you are looking to create or improve your benefits package. There are ample resources to help you design the best fit for your employees. The Society of Human Resources Management (SHRM) offers a how-to guide to designing a benefits package. Additionally, the Academy to Innovate HR (AIHR) offers a full guide to compensation and benefits that includes several examples of benefits packages as well as advice on the best way to explain benefits to employees.
- Prioritize what employees want. While creative benefits such as summer Fridays, onsite massages, and unlimited snacks may grab headlines, it is the substantive benefits that employees truly value. Research has consistently shown that health care, including dental and vision coverage, as well as a retirement savings plan and life insurance, are top priorities.As far as non-insurance benefits, a 2019 survey for Unum found the top five were generous paid time off (40%), flexible working options (30%), paid family leave (22%), gym memberships (21%), and healthy lifestyle incentives (17%). Fun perks can boost morale and set you apart from the competition. But keep in mind that they aren't a replacement for benefits that offer protection, flexibility, and a sense of security for your employees.
- Gather feedback. A simple way to get a clearer idea of benefits that matter to your employees – ask them. Experts recommend surveying employees to find out what they prioritize. Be careful not to over-promise. Create a list of benefits that you know you can deliver on, but make it clear from the get-go that the package you create will focus on their top priorities and likely won't include everything on the survey. It's OK to ask if they have any ideas that aren't included on your list, but again emphasize that ultimately you will need to make decisions based on what is realistic from a financial perspective.
- Focus on clear communications. The return on your investment for the money, time and effort that you put into creating a great benefits package won't fully pay off if you're employees don't fully understand what they are getting. Unfortunately, research has shown that as many as 80% of employees do not pay attention to the information they receive about benefits. Look for innovative and consistent ways to engage your employees about the benefits you are offering. The Reward And Employee Benefits Association offers five tips on how to best communicate the full value of your benefits package.
- Think about life insurance. Life insurance can be an affordable and extremely valuable benefit for your employees. Life insurance can provide peace of mind and essential financial stability for an employee and his or her family at one of the most challenging times of their lives. According to LIMRA's 2018 Insurance Barometer Study, 90% of those surveyed said a family's primary wage earner needs to own life insurance and more than a third of households would feel the financial impact within one month if the primary wage earner died.
LifeWorks from Erie Insurance makes it easy for small business owners to offer life insurance as a benefit to employees and at no additional cost to the employer.
Lifeworks is a voluntary life insurance benefit program designed for employers to collect premiums through payroll deduction and submit to Erie Family Life on behalf of the employee. There are two plans available, Whole Life Insurance and 20-year Convertible Term Life Insurance.
Talk to your local ERIE agent about how LifeWorks can be a key part of a great employee benefits package.
A better insurance experience starts with ERIE.
Haven't heard of us? Erie Insurance started with humble beginnings in 1925 with a mission to emphasize customer service above all else. Though we've grown to reach the Fortune 500 list, we still haven't lost the human touch.

Comfy Merino - Ocean Fish
This product is sold out
This superwash merino takes dye perfectly for vivid semi-solids as well as artistic colorplay.
It is great for lightweight sweaters and shawls, scarves.
Colorway - Ocean Fish
Weight - Fingering - 100 grams
Fibre - 100% Superwash merino
Length - 400 meters / 437 yards
Although the skeins come from the same dye bath, they can vary. If working with two or more skeins I recommend alternating strands to obtain a uniform fabric.
Even though this yarn is super wash I recommend a cool hand wash in a mild detergent. Although every effort is made to exhaust the dye bath of color you may find a little color bleed on the first wash.
I try to depict the true color of yarn but please remember each monitor will be different.
If you have any questions regarding the color, feel free to drop me an email.

Do you need to sell your house with tenants in Houston? The process isn't always that easy depending on your lease and tenants in place. Learn more about how to do it in our latest post.
Ethically, when selling your house with tenants in Houston, you'll want to make the transition as easy as possible. Let them know of your intentions and what they should expect. If they wish to stay in the home, look for a buyer who will welcome the idea of buying will tenants. Someone who will honor the lease and make the transition invisible to the tenant. That said, it is business. If you are losing money or need to sell for other reasons, don't hold on to the property longer than you have to.
Tenants Rights
Before you decide to sell your house with tenants in Houston, make sure you are familiar with the tenant's rights. If you are asking them to vacate the property, make sure you are giving them the right amount of notice and are operating according to the law. You will need to have a termination clause in your lease allowing you to end the lease early. Selling your house with tenants in Houston can seem difficult. But if you adhere to the legalities and work with the right buyers, the process can be done quickly and without much disturbance to anyone's lives.
Sell Directly
Selling your house directly will eliminate the need to clean, market, stage, and show the home. All of these can be difficult when there are tenants living in the house. In order to successfully sell your house directly, you will need to find the right buyers who are willing to take on a house with tenants. In fact, there are many investors who will see this as a perk. One less thing they have to do and having an instant income, without any costs for renovating, cleaning, can prove to be very valuable to them.
Offer Incentives
If you plan on listing the house with a Houston real estate agent you will either need to wait until the tenants have moved out or have their cooperation in showing the home. You don't want to have a tenant sabotage a showing whether intentionally or unintentionally, so you will need to make sure they are on your side. To do this, you can consider offering reduced rent in exchange for their time, property maintenance, cleaning, etc. You could also offer reduced rent as an incentive to get them to move out. Or maybe offer to pay the first months rent at their new place. Selling your house with tenants can be very inconvenient for them. Offering financial or other such incentives can help make the transaction an easier one for them.
Be Respectful
Remember, it might be your house, but it is currently your tenants home. They may feel a sense of attachment or worry about being uprooted after living in the home for a long time. While you may need to sell the house for your own personal reasons, try to be as respectful and accommodating to your tenants as possible. This will make things easier for them and for you as the home seller.
Sell To Your Tenants
Aside from you, there aren't many people who know and love the house the same way you do. If your tenant has been there for a while, they will have likely developed an attachment not only to the house but to the community where they are living. If the house has truly become their home, they may be interested in buying it outright. Before you spend time and money on the listing process talk to your tenants to see if there is any interest. The perfect buyer for your Houston house may be right under your nose!
If waiting is an option, consider holding off on the sale until the lease is up. Then, let your tenants know that they will need to relocate as you will be putting the house on the market. You can give them a heads up ahead of time, letting them know of your intentions. Helping with moving or as a reference can help soften the blow, especially with a long-term tenant. If the sale isn't needed immediately and you want to spend the time and money on a listing, waiting until the house is vacant will be in your best interest.
Selling your house with tenants in Houston can be challenging depending on your situation and who your tenants are. However, when you plan ahead, act thoughtfully, and stick to what the law says, it can be done. We would love to help you learn more about the options available to you!

Tag: This or That
11:48 PMHey everyone! Hope nobody forgot to "Spring Forward" in the US. It's time to lose an hour of sleep and get a bit of more daylight for the workday which I am really looking forward to! It helps on the long drive home to not be in the gloomy, sleepy dark. ;)
Anyway, I wanted to share another tag video with you. I was actually tagged for the "This or That" tag back in November of last year or so, and never got around to recording it until more recently. It's a fun one! Here's the video.
Please forgive my silliness here! I'm naturally quite a silly person if you couldn't tell before. I was looking through old family albums with my parents the other night and I can't tell you how many images there are of me making silly faces. My dad says I've always been a character. Guess some things never change. ;D
Here are the questions for the "This or That" tag so you can follow along!
blush or bronzer
lip gloss or lipstick
eye liner or mascara
foundation or concealer
neutral or color eye shadow
pressed or loose eye shadows
brushes or sponges
OPI or china glaze
Long or short
Acrylic or natural
Brights or darks
Flower or no flower

jeans or sweat pants
long sleeve of short
dresses or skirts
stripes or plaid
flip flops or sandals
scarves or hats
studs or dangly earrings
necklaces or bracelets

Rain or shine
Summer or winter
Fall or spring
Chocolate or vanilla
East coast or west coast
If you have a blog or youtube, please do the tag as well and link it back to me so I can read what your opinions are of everything! I love seeing if I can guess what other friends will answer for each category.
Maybe you were able to guess some of my answers as well? :)
Just for fun, I'm going to ask my own "this or that" question for you to answer in the comments:
Video tutorials OR Photo/blog tutorials
Please let me know in the comments which you prefer and why. I always want to improve my blog and videos so any suggestions for improvement would be very helpful! ^_^
39 comments
hi jen :) i prefer video tutorials because i love seeing the look come together step by step. a picture paints a thousand words and no matter how well u describe things in writing, it is never the same as seeing it being done :D
ReplyDeleteHi there! I just wanted to drop by and say I love your videos! Great work and keep the good job! <3
ReplyDeletewell i think you're a pretty cool gangstaa :DD
i can't decide whether i prefer photo tutorials or video tutorials...maybe because they don't really apply to me :P
i like photo tutorials but only if the lighting is good, the photo quality is good and if you keep in mind the elements and principles of design.
and for videos...hmm, they seem a bit more personal. i just like hearing you talk :) i enjoy your humour and it makes my day just a little bit better
i just think both formats are an art within themselves and that they should be done to the best of your ability or you shouldn't even bother uploading it :)
~AndrewHi Jen,
What's the name of the lipstick you are wearing in this video? I really like the colour.As I have a slow internet connection, I would say photos/blog tutorials, and they are also easier to find later.
But video can really help to explain motions, so, for me, the ideal is a not too long video tutorial with several photos of the final look on the blog with the list of the products you used.
(So as I can see before if the look interests me or not and if it worth the long downloading)Heey Jen! Hmm I think I prefer Photo/blog tutorials. I don't know, I think you can read and watch it in your own speed and it's alot easier to create a look yourself watching to the photo's instead of listening and clicking 'stop'. But I also really like videos because it's cool to hear you! I really enjoyed watching your this or that tag! Maybe I'll do it myself :)
ReplyDeletehi jen,
i've been a bit of a lurker on your site, but i really love the video tutorials--i know they probably take a lot more time to edit and such, but it's a lot easier to see exactly how something is done, and then modify it to fit my eye (monolid ^.^). speaking of which, until i found your blog, i had THE hardest time trying to find monolid tutorials that didn't raccoon-ify me, so thank you so much!Hello! I prefer photo/blog posts. But if it's a complicated look that requires a lot of explaining, I guess YouTube would be better. I participated in your tag. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat video Jen! I had a lot of the same answers as you :) Fun guessing yours :P
Hmmm...I'm torn with your question because I like video tutorials when demos are involved like when you're doing a makeup tutorial but I actually prefer photo blogs for outfit posts and for reviews. My reason is because sometimes I don't have the time to watch a whole video (or if I'm at work I can't watch!) so I like to be able to read something quickly and look at the pictures to get what I need from the post.Definitely video! I love your videos! You're super cute, it's fun to watch you do stuff on video, its more personable!
ReplyDelete- AnonymousMarch 13, 2011 at 12:10 PM
I prefer whichever's shorter.. haha. Which, 99% of the time, is photo/blog tutorials!
ReplyDelete Hiii :)
Personally, I prefer video tutorials because it's easier to understand, I can see what you're doing!
Ps. we definitely have similar answers for the tag! ;D
Keep up the good work! Looking forward to more tutorials! ^^Aww Jen you're adorable! I just LOVE your videos!! I don't even remember how I started following your blog but I have been an avid reader for as long as I can remember :) It's one of my top pages! It always gets me giddy when I see your updates. And... video tutorials :)
ReplyDelete- AnonymousMarch 13, 2011 at 3:51 PM
Hello Jan http://lolitademeninaamulher.blogspot.com/ I'm starting a blog if you can follow me: D
ReplyDelete i like your video tutorials. funny thing that indicates i've followed your blog for quite a while, i did manage to guess the majority of the questions based on following you ;)
ReplyDeletevideo tutorials!! jen, i just love watching you in video, you are so funny and pretty. =)
ReplyDeleteLmao... "Because I'm really short and asian." Love a girl with a sense of humour. Great video!
ReplyDeleteCount me in the blog/photo camp! Don't really like waiting for videos to load and they tend to be longer than a text/photo-based tutorial where you can read/skim at your own pace and either go slowly over things you aren't sure of or skip over things you're already comfortable doing. I don't have the patience to watch longer videos.
ReplyDeletelol love this tag game! Kind of makes me wish I had time for vlogging. :)
Thanks for sharing, girl!Jen, you are so cute!!!
Um, to be honest, I only watch 1 out of 10 of your videos (I know, I didn't even watch this one) but I read your blog avidly. Mostly because I do most of my blog reading at work or on the bus, and I don't usually have my headphones and I don't really want to be watching the videos when everyone can see/hear!
I do like video tutorials because it's easier to do step by step, but I would prefer actual blog posts over vlogs :)annyaghaseyo!
finally a korean blogger! :D
i really love how they are so flawless and im crazy over the dramas, wish i could learn hangul; heard its difficult. im definitely following you and your tips :D

ReplyDeleteI think I prefer learning from video tuts, but I still love photos!! I think I actually like the combo better, as in a video tutorial and then pics of the finished look, kind of what you already do. Whatever you do, it's amazing as usual. :P
ReplyDeletejust wanted to let you know Hautelook.com is having a Rock and Republic beauty sale on monday the 21st!!!!
I like your photo tutorials for a quick reference. (whispers) It's also great for when I'm at work and I can't watch the videos. ;)
I also like your video tutorials for the details on your technique and seeing the progression of how the look comes together.

Apply Now
Three Ways To Apply:
We are a tuition-free, public charter school. There are no admission requirements, academic or otherwise, to apply for a place in the school.
We operate under the same rules, regulations, and guidelines as other Texas schools, and our schools are tuition-free. Charter schools are widely regarded as one of the greatest values in education being offered today.
All students with qualifying residency and disciplinary history ("Eligible Applicants") will be given equal consideration regardless of the day or time they were submitted.
Applicants who have a sibling currently enrolled in another ResponsiveEd school should complete an Application for Admission online and make sure to check "Yes," and list the name and campus of the enrolled sibling. Failure to do so will prevent the student applying from receiving priority status.
Open Enrollment
At the end of an open-enrollment period, if there are more applications than seats for any grade level, a lottery will be conducted to fill those seats and then to determine position on the waiting list. Consideration will be given for siblings. If there are fewer applications than spaces, then all applicants can be admitted and applications can continue to be taken on a first-come, first-served basis.
Applications received after the Open-Enrollment Period ends, will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis. We will place children in grade levels that have remaining open spaces for new students on a first-come, first-served basis. However, if the specific school or grade level is full, we will add your child's name at the end of the waiting list in the order it is received.
Waiting lists will not carry over from year to year, so any students not admitted will have to reapply the following year.
Admitted students will have the opportunity to re-enroll for the next school year. Their siblings will be given priority for any available spaces.

Apple and Walnut Bundt Cake
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...I love fall and the aromas of the fall kitchen. The scents of cinnamon and cloves permeate the house and ready the senses for the sprees of holiday cooking that lie ahead. The cooler weather is invigorating and surging energy forcibly retires the slow and measured pace of summer. One item on the list of things that must be done is our yearly hunt for apples. Actually, it's more like a forray than a hunt, but it demands at least one day be spent in an orchard picking apples. Lots of apples. I'm convinced that this sweat equity sets my cooking efforts apart from those who let others do the picking for them. Fortunately, my family loves apples and, I know that our harvest, however large, won't last long enough to spoil. I make this bundt cake every fall. It's not my favorite apple dessert, but it's really delicious, and because it's not frosted, it's wonderful to tote from one place to another. It's really easy to make and is always well received. I thought you might enjoy it. Here's the recipe.
Apple and Walnut Bundt Cake ...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite
3 eggs
1 cup canola oil
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups shredded peeled tart apples
2 cups sugar
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1) Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
2) Combine eggs, oil, and vanilla in a large bowl. Beat to combine. Add apples and sugar and beat for 1 minute longer.
3) Combine flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, nutmeg and baking powder in another bowl. Add to apple mixture, beating until blended. Stir in walnuts.
4) Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 50 to 60 minute, or until a toothpick inserted near center of cake comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes. Remove cake from pan andcool right side up on awire rack Pour into a greased and floured 10-in. fluted tube pan. Bake at 325° for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely on a wire rack with right-side of cake facing up. 5) When cool, combine confectioners' sugar and brown sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle over top of cake. Yield: 15 servings.

SMILA/Documentation/HowTo/How to write a Worker
This HowTo describes the necessary steps for writing a worker in SMILA.
- Set up your development environment, see How to set up the development environment.
- You should have read and understood the documentation about the JobManager, especially the configuration of workers and workflows if you want to create new workers.
- You should have at least an idea about the OSGi framework and OSGi services. For links to introductory articles and tutorials see [1]. For a quite comprehensive overview on OSGi see [2].
Project templates
Before writing your own worker we recommend you to take a look at the sample workers. You can get them by importing the bundles from the examples directory of SMILA's repository into your workspace and use them as templates:
- org.eclipse.smila.integration.worker: template bundle for worker development, containing an example worker class
- org.eclipse.smila.integration.worker.test: template bundle to test a developed worker, containg an example test class
You can also download these examples from the release downloads or the nightly build downloads. (SMILA-...-integrator-examples.zip)
If you do not want to use the example bundles as templates, you can also start with a new bundle by following the two HowTos:
Now you have two (completely empty) bundles, one to develop your worker(s), and one to test it/them.
Hint: The following steps apply only when you use the example bundles, not if you start with fresh bundles!
We now need to integrate our new workers in the SMILA application. Do the following steps to enable this:
Adding the worker description
The workers' descriptions are read by the jobmanager on startup, if a worker does not provide a description it won't get any tasks, so you have to provide one.
- Edit the workers.json file in SMILA.application/configuration/org.eclipse.smila.jobmanager and add the following worker description to the json array (don't forget the comma):
{ "name": "HelloWorldWorker", "input": [ { "name": "inputRecords", "type": "recordBulks" } ], "output": [ { "name": "outputRecords", "type": "recordBulks" } ] }
Adding the bundles to the configuration
Next we need to make sure the bundle is started.
To start the bundle in the built application, add the following line to SMILA.application/configuration/config.ini as the second last line:
- org.eclipse.smila.integration.worker@4:start, \
(To be honest, it does not matter at all, where exaclty you add your bundle in the file, as long as the syntax (end of lines must be escaped for all lines except the last one, of course) is correct.)
You also have to adapt your launcher:
- Click on Run configurations...
- Select the OSGi Framework-->SMILA configuration
- In the Bundles page, check the box before org.eclipse.smila.integration.worker, leave Start Level on default, set Auto-Start to true.
- Click Apply
Scale up
Finally you should add the scale up limits (see ScaleUp) to the cluster configuration file (if you use the standard simple clusterconfig service, you will find the configuration file as org.eclipse.smila.clusterconfig.simple/clusterconfig.json).
E.g. add the following snippet to the existing ones in the workers map to limit scale up of the worker to a maximum of concurrent tasks (be sure, your worker label is the same as in the workers.json). If you do not add your worker's scale up here, the worker is limited to one concurrent task.
Example to limit the worker HelloWorldWorker to a maximum of 4 concurrent tasks:
"HelloWorldWorker":{ "maxScaleUp":4 },
You should now test your workspace setup to make sure that everything works with the prepared stuff.
Run the application
- Select "Run" -> "Run Configurations" or "Debug Configurations"
- Select "OSGi Frameworks" -> "SMILA".
- Click "Run" or "Debug" and SMILA should start just like when started from the command line.
When starting the SMILA.launch in eclipse, you should see something like the following output in the console window:
... Added worker HelloWorldWorker to WorkerManager. ...
You should also be able to read the worker definition using the jobmanager HTTP API now: Go to http://localhost:8080/smila/jobmanager/workers/ to see something like this:
{ "workers" : [ ..., { "name" : "HelloWorldWorker", "url" : "http://localhost:8080/smila/jobmanager/workers/HelloWorldWorker/" }, ... ] }
You can now click on the link to the worker description and you should see the description of the HelloWorldWorker:
{ "name" : "HelloWorldWorker", "input" : [ { "name" : "inputRecords", "type" : "recordBulks" } ], "output" : [ { "name" : "outputRecords", "type" : "recordBulks" } ] }
Run the test case
To run the JUnit test case for the HelloWorldWorker
- Stop the SMILA.launch if it is running.
- Select "Run" -> "Run Configurations".
- Select "JUnit Plugin Test" -> "TestHelloWorldWorker".
- Click "Run".
- You should find the following message in the "Console" view:
TestHelloWorldWorker: Value of attribute 'greeting' = 'HelloWorldWorker was here :-)'
This shows that the HelloWorldWorker has done something. Of course, the test also contains an assertion so that it will fail when the attribute has not the expceted value.
Create your own worker
Use template
The easiest way to create a new worker is by implementing it in the bundle org.eclipse.smila.integration.worker (see Project Templates). There you can just place your new worker beside the HelloWorldWorker example worker, or replace it. Things you have to do when renaming the bundle/package or creating your own worker bundle are described later on.
Bundle dependencies
The dependencies of the bundle are managed by the OSGi framework and have to be configured explicitly in the MANIFEST.MF file so that the OSGi framework can resolve them (in the correct versions) when the services are started.
To create a worker that reads and writes Records, we need at least the following bundles imported as packages (see META-INF -> "Dependencies" -> "Imported Packages"):
- org.eclipse.smila.datamodel: For the Record class.
- org.eclipse.smila.objectstore: Possible exceptions when accessing input/output streams.
- org.eclipse.smila.taskworker: The TaskWorker bundle containing the Worker and TaskContext interfaces.
- org.eclipse.smila.taskworker.input: Input streams of the TaskWorker bundle.
- org.eclipse.smila.taskworker.output: Output streams of the TaskWorker bundle.
This is already configured. If access to other packages is needed, just extend the MANIFEST.MF file in section "Imported Packages" accordingly.
Worker Implementation Java Class
Create a worker class which implements org.eclipse.smila.taskworker.Worker. Have a look at the example worker org.eclipse.smila.integration.worker.HelloWorldWorker that comes with the SDK in the org.eclipse.smila.integration.worker bundle. You must implement two methods:
- getName() must return a unique name for your worker. Exactly the same name (case sensitive) must be used later in the worker descriptions and workflow definitions.
- perform() does the actual work. It is called with a TaskContext object that provides access to the task properties, input and output objects, and counters.
Thread safety: Make sure that your worker implemention is thread safe! Otherwise you can't use it for scale up.
OSGI Declarative Service
Every worker must be declared as an OSGi Declarative Service (DS) in order to be registered properly to the worker framework. To configure your worker as DS, you have to add an appropriate XML file to the folder org.eclipse.smila.integration.worker/OSGI-INF.
The file can be created either manually or using the Component Definition wizard.
Have a look at helloworldworker.xml as an example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <scr:component xmlns:scr="http://www.osgi.org/xmlns/scr/v1.1.0" name="HelloWorldWorker" immediate="true"> <implementation class="org.eclipse.smila.integration.worker.HelloWorldWorker"/> <service> <provide interface="org.eclipse.smila.taskworker.Worker"/> </service> </scr:component>
The file describes (1) the interface that the worker has to implement (and through which it will be accessed in the OSGi application by means of dependency injection), (2) the class being the concrete implementor of that interface, (3) the services that it references (our simple worker does not reference any, you can find a description later on), (4) and the name of the service.
To describe your own worker, just create a copy of the OSGI-INF/helloworldworker.xml file in the same directory. Then change at least the "name" attribute in the root element and the "class" element in the "implementation" element.
When you don't need the HelloWorldWorker anymore you may want to remove at least its component definition file from the bundle. Otherwise, it will always be running and asking for tasks in the final deployment. While it should not really be a problem, it causes some unnecessary overhead that can easily be avoided.
You should check in your MANIFEST.MF that your component definition is included in the build and it is listed as Service-Component (e.g. as a line in your MANIFEST.MF Service-Component: OSGI-INF/*.xml and the bin.includes of the build.properties file should contain OSGI-INF/).
Register your worker in jobmanager configuration
These are the steps to use your new worker with the jobmanager framework.
Worker definition
Edit workers.json from <WORKSPACE>/SMILA.application/configuration/org.eclipse.smila.jobmanager folder and add the definition for the new worker.
Important: The name in the worker definition has to be the same that is returned by the getName() method in the worker implementation!
For the example worker HelloWorldWorker we want to use one input and output slot. And we use recordBulks as data object type cause we want to modify (bulks of) records with this worker:
{ "name": "HelloWorldWorker", "input": [ { "name": "inputRecords", "type": "recordBulks" } ], "output": [ { "name": "outputRecords", "type": "recordBulks" } ] }
Workflow definition
To use your worker in a workflow you have to add a new workflow or change an existing one. You can either use the jobmanager API to add a workflow definition to the running system, or you can edit workflows.json from <WORKSPACE>/SMILA.application/configuration/org.eclipse.smila.jobmanager folder and add/change a workflow.
This example is a test workflow that uses the HelloWorldWorker to manipulate all records which where pushed into the system using the bulkbuilder. Because it's pretty useless as such, we did not add it to SMILA.application/configuration/org.eclipse.smila.jobmanager/workflows.json, but it's used in the unit test bundle org.eclipse.smila.integration.worker.test: The test case reads the output bulk created by the HelloWorldWorker to check if it been running.
{ "name":"HelloWorldWorkflow", "startAction":{ "worker":"bulkbuilder", "output":{ "insertedRecords":"importBucket" } }, "actions":[ { "worker":"HelloWorldWorker", "input":{ "inputRecords":"importBucket" }, "output":{ "outputRecords":"helloWorldExportBucket" } } ] }
Bucket definition
If you want to use a new persistent bucket for your workflow (see jobmanager documentation) you have to add it via the jobmanager API or add it to the configuration: Edit buckets.json from SMILA.application/configuration/org.eclipse.smila.jobmanager folder and create desired bucket.
Here's an example from the test bundle org.eclipse.smila.integration.worker.test for the workflow above that makes the final bucket helloWorldExportBucket persistent. For the unit test, the output bucket of the worker must be persistent so that the test case can still read the result records when the workflow has ended. Otherwise the jobmanager would remove the transient object immediately after the HelloWorldWorker has finished.
{ "name":"helloWorldExportBucket", "type":"recordBulks" }
Activate the Worker
Add the worker bundle to the configuration and set scale-up as described above if you haven't already done yet.
Use the launcher
If everything was done correctly and you start the SMILA.launch in Eclipse, you should see the same output as described above, but for your own worker.
You should also check whether your new workflow definition is visible in [3]. If not, you maybe misstyped a worker name or something. If there is no workflow at all, the workflows.json file has invalid syntax.
Create worker unit test
You can use the test bundle template org.eclipse.smila.integration.worker.test to add a test for your worker. Have a look at the example test class org.eclipse.smila.integration.worker.test.TestHelloWorldWorker that comes with the SDK.
All configuration files for the test are in org.eclipse.smila.integration.worker.test/configuration. This is similar to SMILA.application/configuration, but contains only the configuration files necessary to run the tests, not all files needed by a complete system. Also, some configuration files may differ from those in SMILA.application, e.g. some components may be configured with smaller limits to make tests run quicker. However, if you create a new worker, you must add its description to the workers.json in the test bundles and define persistent buckets and workflows required to run the test. Additionally make sure that the config.ini contains the names of your worker bundles and those of services your worker needs to access.
To start the test in eclipse you have to copy the launch for TestHelloWorldWorker and adapt it to your new test class.
Manually installing the worker in SMILA
In the following we describe the steps to deploy your worker manually to an existing SMILA installation.
Alternatively, you could also add your worker bundle to the SMILA build process and build a new SMILA application.
Create a feature project
A feature project is a container project that defines the Plug-ins needed for a specific feature. In our case our feature is to provide a worker, so we'll only have one Plug-in included in that feature, but it can also be reasonable to include all worker Plug-ins that are necessary to extend the SMILA to be able to handle a specific scenario in one feature that can be deployed and so includes all plugins necessary.
If you ever need to create an own feature project you can use Eclipse's New... wizard:
- New --> Plug-in Development --> Feature Project
- Enter a Project name (e.g. org.eclipse.smila.integration.feature)
- Fill in other feature properties to describe the new feature ('Version' should match the version of your new worker bundle)
- Next
- select your worker bundle
- Finish
Deploy your worker feature
Now it's easy to export your custom bundles to files that can be easily deployed into SMILA:
- Select your feature project
- Right-click on it
- Click on Export...
- Select Plug-in Development --> Deployable features
- Next
- Select your new worker feature
- Select a destination folder. If you are re-exporting after changes (especially after renames), you should first delete the destination folder.
- Click Finish
After that you will find plugins and features directories in your destination directory that contain the deployable software. The export process produces two additional files artifacts.jar and contents.jar which are not for our purposes.
Install your worker feature in a SMILA installation
- Copy the features and plugins folder to your SMILA installation.
- merge your configuration changes (e.g. configuration/org.eclipse.smila.jobmanager) into the SMILA configuration
- copy your configuration/config.ini file (see above) or edit the installed config.ini directly to start up your bundle
- e.g. for the above bundle and version this would be (in the second last line): org.eclipse.smila.integration.worker@4:start, \
- copy your configuration/config.ini file (see above) or edit the installed config.ini directly to start up your bundle
- start your system
- In the console you should see:
... Added worker HelloWorldWorker to WorkerManager. ...
Additionally you should be able to see the worker descriptions you added via the JobManager REST API: http://localhost:8080/smila/jobmanager/workers
Advanced How To's
How to access another OSGi Service inside your Worker
With SMILA there come a lot of components with APIs for different purposes. Sometimes you may want to access such an API inside your worker. With the concept of OSGi Declarative Services (DS) this is just a matter of configuration.
Example: Reading all cluster nodes
Assumed, we want to know the names of all cluster nodes in our worker. This is possible via ClusterConfigService API. Here are the steps to access this API in your worker:
- Precondition: We assume you already configured your worker as OSGi Declarative Service as described before.
- To use the ClusterConfigService you have to import the appropriate package org.eclipse.smila.clusterconfig in the MANIFEST.MF/Dependencies (see "Bundle Dependencies")
- Configure ClusterConfigService as referenced service in the service description xml (OSGI-INF/...):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <scr:component org.eclipse.smila.jobmanager name="MyWorker" immediate="true"> <implementation class="mypackage.MyWorkerImpl" /> <service> <provide interface="org.eclipse.smila.taskworker.Worker"/> </service> <reference bind="setClusterConfigService" cardinality="1..1" interface="org.eclipse.smila.clusterconfig.ClusterConfigService" name="ClusterConfigService" policy="static" unbind="unsetClusterConfigService"/> </scr:component>
- Implement the specifed methods setClusterConfigService and unsetClusterConfigService in your worker implementation. This may look like this:
private ClusterConfigService _ccs; public void setClusterConfigService(final ClusterConfigService ccs) { _ccs = ccs; } public void unsetClusterConfigService(final ClusterConfigService ccs) { if (_ccs == ccs) { _ccs = null; } }
- Now, the OSGi framework will automatically set the SimpleClusterConfigService (which implements the interface ClusterConfigService) in your worker at startup via the specified method. So the ClusterConfigService API will be accessible at runtime:
... List<String> clusterNodes = _ccs.getClusterNodes(); ...
How to add / access a configuration for your Worker
You can add a worker configuration, e.g. a property file, by adding it to the application configuration.
Example: Adding a property file "myWorker.properties" and access it in the worker
- To add a worker configuration create an appropriate folder in the application configuration and place the property file there:
- To easiest way to access the configuration in your worker is via org.eclipse.smila.utils.config.ConfigUtils class
- To use this class you have to import the appropriate package org.eclipse.smila.utils.config in the MANIFEST.MF/Dependencies (see "Bundle Dependencies")
- For the following example code you should also import org.apache.commons.io
- Your code could look somehow like that:
InputStream configFileStream = null; try { configFileStream = ConfigUtils.getConfigStream(MY_BUNDLE_NAME, myWorker.properties); Properties props = new Properties(); props.load(configFileStream); ... } finally { if (configFileStream != null) { IOUtils.closeQuietly(configFileStream); } }
Add on: Read configuration at startup
- If you want to initialize your worker by configuration at startup, you can use the activate() method automatically called by the OSGi framework at bundle startup.
- To use an activate method you have to import the package org.osgi.service.component in the MANIFEST.MF.
- Then your code could look like that
protected void activate(final ComponentContext context) { try { readConfiguration(); ...
Exception Handling and Logging
Exception Handling:
There are four possible outcomes of a worker:
- SUCCESSFUL: The perform() method returns without exception. This is interpreted by the Worker Manager as a successful task execution so that it will finish the task with a SUCCESSFUL task completion status. All open output data objects will be committed. If this fails, it will continue as explained below, depending on the exception type. The task result includes all counters produced by the task execution so that they can be aggregated by the Job Manager in the job run data.
- RECOVERABLE_ERROR: The perform() method aborts with org.eclipse.smila.taskworker.RecoverableTaskException. This will be interpreted as a temporary failure when accessing input data or writing output data to DOS. The result is that the task will be finished with a RECOVERABLE_ERROR task completion status and the Job Manager will usually reschedule the task for a later retry. Any produced counters will be ignored by the Job Manager in the job run data.
- POSTPONE: The perform() method aborts with org.eclipse.smila.taskworker.PostponeTaskException. This means that the worker cannot yet perform the task for some reason but it should be resubmitted again later. The task will be re-added to the "todo queue" of this worker and it will be delivered again later (but quite soon, usually). Such tasks have the POSTPONE task completion status.
- FATAL_ERROR: The perform() method aborts with any other exception (including all exceptions of type RuntimeException). This will be interpreted as an indicator that the input data cannot be processed at all, for example, because it is corrupted or contains invalid values. Such tasks will be finished with a FATAL_ERROR completion status and will not be rescheduled. Any produced counters will be ignored by the Job Manager in the job run data.
You can use the log4j logging that comes with SMILA in your worker too. Your logging output will be logged in the standard smila.log.
- import the package org.apache.commons.logging in the MANIFEST.MF.
Then your code could look somehow like that:
private final Log _log = LogFactory.getLog(getClass()); ... _log.debug("My worker was successful"); ...
Create worker in new bundle resp. rename template bundle
For creating a new bundle:
- Follow the description here to create a new bundle.
For renaming a bundle:
- Right-click the bundle to rename in eclipse and select (Refactor/Rename).
- Right-click java package and select (Refactor/Rename).
- Open MANIFEST.MF and set a version property to the (renamed) exported package. Runtime/Exported Packages
Hint: if there are strange compile problems afterwards, and refresh resp. clean projects doesn't help, try restarting your eclipse IDE.
MANIFEST.MF / OSGI-INF / build.properties:
- Apapt the changes in your OSGI-INF component description xml file
- Please be sure that your OSGi component definition file is included in the MANIFEST.MF file in the Service-Component section! Otherwise the service component will not be recognized and thus not be started.
- Please be sure that the OSGI-INF/ folder is included in your build.properties
test bundle:
- Adapt the test bundle to the changes:
- change name of test bundle and java package (Refactor/Rename, like described above for the worker bundle itself).
- correct the imported packages in the code and the MANIFEST.MF (if not done correctly by refactoring)
- adapt the test's run configuration, e.g. name, test bundle's java package, configuration file location (on tab "configuration")
- adapt the config.ini file
Application launch:
- Add the new/renamed bundle to the eclipse launcher and also to your application configuration/config.ini file with an appropriate start level.
feature project:
- You have to add your new/renamed bundle to the feature project.
- clear the destination folder for feature exports.
