BRASILIA (Reuters) – Interim President Michel Temer believes the end of the impeachment trial of suspended President Dilma Rousseff, expected next month, will greatly boost investment and confidence in Brazil and help restore its creditworthiness.
Temer told foreign reporters on Friday he expects the Senate to wrap up the trial of Rousseff by Aug. 25 or 26, and that the sooner he is confirmed as Brazil's president for the rest of her term through 2018 the better for the country.
"The world needs to know who the president of Brasil is. The impasse weakens the country," he said.
Temer, who was Rousseff's vice president until he took over when she was put on trial in May, said he is confident the Senate will convict her of breaking budget laws and positively assess his achievements for Brazil in more than two months at the helm. Rousseff has denied wrongdoing.
Temer said he expects his proposed cap on public spending to clear Congress this year, but deeper reforms of the pension system and labor laws will be hard to pass and need more time.
Temer said he has built political stability by gathering support in Congress for his administration that will allow passage of his economic reform plan, while refraining from any spending that would worsen Brazil's dire fiscal situation.
Steps taken by his economic team led by Finance Minister Henrique Meirelles have restored confidence, he said, and Brazil should recover the investment-grade credit rating it lost last year.
As an example of renewed investor interest, Temer pointed to the $1.8 billion purchase of a controlling stake in Brazil's largest power distributor, CPFL Energia SA by China's State Grid International Development Ltd, the world's largest utility.
Temer hopes Congress will approve the pillar of his macroeconomic strategy to put the government's books in order, a constitutional amendment that would put a ceiling on public spending for 10 years, before the end of the year.
His transitional government has so far held off on unpopular austerity measures to avoid the risk of losing the impeachment battle to Rousseff, a leftist leader widely blamed for running Brazil's once-booming economy into the ground.
But if Temer is confirmed as president, his administration is expected to tackle deeper changes needed to plug the deficit, especially overhauling Brazil's generous pension system that will require Brazilians to work more years.
Temer plans to pull Brazil out of its worst recession since the 1930s by boosting private investment through concessions and partnerships with the state to modernize infrastructure, the sale of state assets and the opening up of the oil and gas industry, airlines and land purchases to foreign investors.
"It is incredible how many useless real estate assets are owned by the state," he told the correspondents.
Temer's government also favors more flexible rules for the Mercosur trade bloc, a common market created by Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay, that he argues has held back Brazil from negotiating agreements with other nations.
"We have no objection to Mercosur, but sometime we need to make tweaks to make it more flexible. Brazil cannot continue to be tied down and hindered from seeking bilateral deals," he said.
Mercosur has delayed handing the rotating presidency to its newest member, Venezuela, which faces economic collapse amidst upheaval over its leftist government's bid to hang onto power.
Temer said he will not oppose Venezuela heading Mercosur as long as it fulfils requirements for membership of the trade bloc, which it has failed to do since joining four years ago.

text: Hey guys! Haven't been around for a while sorry -_- Soooo I've gotten into video editing and in my absence I gained a Mac Pro and a copy of Final Cut Pro X! Since then I have been learning how to use it and recently I got my first big chance to show stuff off! Gonna just cut 'n paste the description of the video because I'm lazy at typing: (THERE ARE BLOOPERS AFTER THE CREDITS) Every year we have a "tradition" that the juniors plan out the "spring banquet" (prom), and the theme for it is always a surprise for the seniors. In this video that parody's "The Office" we all pretended to be each of the Seniors and act out a normal school day full of inside jokes. In the end, the prom theme is revealed. The music used in intro and credits is the theme of "The Office." (Video was made using Final Cut Pro X) So without further ado, here's the video! [media][/media] So here's some questions: 1) How well do you think it was made? 2) Anything I could've done better? 3) Even though it mostly consists of inside jokes, did you find anything funny? 4) Can you guess who I am? :}

Haiti Mission Trip 2015 Journal Entry 7

Haiti Mission Trip 2015
4am Church Service – The first memory I have of attending a house church is in Haiti!! Wow, this house church has been holding church service at 4am for 5 days a week, for the past 28 years. The experience was both exhilarating and eye opening at the same time.
It's dark in Haiti at 4am, really dark. There are no street lights in Haiti and the unfortunately there was no full moon to light the way. So we are walking down the street, about ½ mile, in the pitch dark with flash lights or lights from our cell phones at 4am in the morning. Add to that, there is a female community leader, shouting on a bullhorn, "Soldiers of the Lord, wake up". As we are walking, people are joining our group as we head to the church. Once we get there, some were seated on wooden benches outside in the dirt filled front yard, and the rest were seated amongst okra stalks growing in the garden. The overflow crowd, stood outside the doorway of the gated wall.
I was seated next to the doorway. I kept looking at the doorway, pondering an escape plan should anything go down in the dark of the night, in a country called Haiti. I kept looking at Pastor O, he was nodding and at peace, mom was okay, and my son was close by, so I settled myself and enjoyed the experience. The message was taught in Creole and translated into English.

Mini-VBS – Pastor O said, "Y'all make me look good". He was so pleased with the delivery of this ministry. Ms. Maudie and Sis. LaKeesha were the leaders on this, and the impact was felt and visibly seen within the community for several days after the VBS was over.
This was a true team effort, with many of the 36 team members from other churches stepping in to help create an atmosphere that the 60 children from the Grand Goave community would not soon forget. A lively game of Simon says, shared in English and translated into Creole by the interpreter. An animated bible story involving a slingshot, followed by two very creative and organized crafts complete with a take-home souvenir hat that would carry forth the Christian banner into the community. "Jezi Loves Ayiti" (creole) or "Jesus Loves Haiti" (English).Top that off with a musical portion led by Nehemiah on percussion and the children on the guitars they just finished making.
We saw the hats everywhere throughout the duration of our trip; at the soccer game, on the evening walks in the community, and on mothers coming to Lifeline for various offerings. What a testimony!!

Dental Clinic –
There is a great need for dental care in this area. Our team was commended for performing dental services for the children, as this is an area of ministry that is not often carried out by mission teams. Our team represented the Lord in a first class manner, complete with lab coats, gloves and sterilization techniques.
Kuddos to Sis. Kim who was not able to join us during the trip, but made certain we had all training and supplies necessary to carry out the ministry. We were able to put fluoride treatment on the teeth of 75 children from the Children's Home. We were assisted by members from the broader mission team to make this dental clinic run smooth and set the children's mind at ease and they eagerly anticipated their turn.

Despite shifting dynamics, the automotive business remains steadfast in benchmarking its total success against one key ingredient—the Voice of the Customer. Nonetheless, seen by the lens of two crucial efficiency indicators, the industry is in deep trouble. New research and improvement initiatives are reworking the industry to higher respond to the opportunities of the 21st century. Automotive firms perceive that tolerance stackups are requires early in the design process to correctly manage variations that can occurring throughout manufacturing.
At that time nations that had been technologically superior reminiscent of Germany and Japan have been able to acquire momentum and become severe competition within the vehicle trade. To ensure that tolerance evaluation to be accurate, it needs to be carried out as a statistical tolerance evaluation.
The automobile industry has become a vital factor in at the moment's economic system of many industrialized nations. A P5F analysis of the electrical car business can be completely different than one of many typical automotive trade. The CFD Market in Automotive Business report includes company share evaluation for the main corporations operating in this market by main regions.
The trade will not be solely in regards to the promoting of cars and different motor vehicles, but additionally entails the designing, manufacturing, and repair of them as properly. As of in the present day, Germanys auto business is certainly one of its high employers, featuring a complete labor pool of roughly 866,000 employees.
The Automotive Business is a very worldwide one, involving complex interplays of numerous governmental and financial sectors throughout the world. When figuring out the availability of substitutes you should also take into account time, cash, personal desire and comfort in the auto travel industry.

Gyspy Escape by Florida Author Bobbie Altschul
Beth and Alex Frey both leave their jobs in Michigan on a sabbatical to travel around the United States for an undetermined time. They try to pretend that they left their jobs for the fun of adventure but the underlying reason was that Beth had been stalked by a mad man and Alex wanted to get her away from the threat.
Leaving their jobs and family behind does not eliminate their problems or fears. The stalker seems to be following them on their travels. How does he know where they are? Why does he think he has to pursue his harassment of Beth now that she is no longer involved with his case?
Each time the couple thinks the past is behind them and they get involved in their travels, something happens to shake their peace of mind.
As if they didn't have enough to worry about, their best friends, Joyce and Kevin, seem to be bringing their own problems into the Frey's life. There is also an underlying secret that Alex and Joyce share that could rock the foundation of his and Beth's relationship.
The threats start escalating and where there were just innuendoes before, now the threats are getting physical and deadly. Putting the pieces together it finally dawns on Alex that the stalker is not who they were so sure it was. By the time he figures this out he knows that Beth is alone in a remote place with the stalker who he now knows intends to be a killer. Can he get to her in time?
About the Author
Bobbie Altschul has published short stories in the past but Gypsy Escape is her first published novel. She has traveled extensively in order to research the locations in the novel. As well as all of the travel to give her book credibility she was also involved with the Michigan Circuit Courts for over fifteen years and was herself harassed by a mad man as was Beth in Gypsy Escape.
After experiencing the 2004 Hurricanes in Florida, Bobbie and her husband, Hank, have been living and traveling in their motor home with their animals: a dog, a cat and a parrot.
Bobbie is presently preparing a second novel, Delusional, for publication as well as being in the midst of writing the second novel in the Gypsy series.
Bobbie has dedicated this novel to her beloved Jacques Cousteau, the inspiration for the Hootmaan character. We love you and miss you.
Gypsy queen: Adventure everywhere for traveling
By Peg McNichol
Holland Sentinel contributor
Posted Aug 18, 2009 @ 08:58 PM
Bobbie Altschul sees stories everywhere
she looks. No surprise, given the adventures she's had
over the last decade traveling to 41 states in a recreational
But Altschul, 60, did more than have experiences. She kept
journals and sent lively notes to friends. Some of those
notes went into Altschul's first book, "Gypsy Escape." The
new novelist is hoping to convince area book shops to host
events where she can read, sign, and most importantly, sell
her first book.
"Gypsy" tells the story of a couple, Beth and Alex Frey, who
embark on their own RV adventure — but they are running
away from trouble: Beth's dangerous stalker. Altschul
thought of the story 10 years ago. She worked
intermittently to craft the tale, struggling over dialogue.
"They can't talk like me," she said. But the Freys visited
many of the RV campgrounds the Altschuls did.
A voracious reader (at 14, she devoured "Gone with the
Wind"), Altschul tried her hand at writing decades ago,
when she wasn't busy raising her three daughters.
"In high school, whenever there was a contest, I entered,"
she said, smiling and shaking her head.
In 1986, the Christian teen magazine "Alive!" published her
first short story. In 2001, she had a second short story
published in "True Love" magazine.
Her then-husband wasn't impressed. The couple divorced.
She married second husband Hank Altschul nearly 20
years ago. He's a former truck driver, and beams when he talks about his wife's foray into the publishing world.
"She's always on the computer," said Hank Altschul, grinning. "I wake up and hear the ticking of her computer keys."
She kept the novel under wraps at first, but let him read the final draft. He encouraged her to find a publisher, so
Bobbie mailed the manuscript out, again and again. Sometimes the rejection arrived within weeks; others took as
much as six months.
"Hank got more upset about it than I did," Bobbie Altschul said. "He's the one who said I should publish it myself."
They paid "around $1,000," Bobbie said, to AuthorHouse, an online publishing company. That basic package did not
include editing or marketing.
"All the typos are mine," Bobbie said, laughing.
She has worked hard promoting "Gypsy Escape," its sequel, and "Delusional," which Bobbie Altschul wrote while
working on "Gypsy."
The Altschuls understand business and printing. They co-owned Litho-Tech Printing in Holland, but sold it 10 years
ago. They'd planned on boating through the river systems to the Atlantic ocean, then to the inlet separating Port
Charlotte and Punta Gorda in Florida. They planned to live on the boat for about two years, buy a business and
eventually buy a home. Some plans didn't work out.
The boat sold just days after they put it on the market. The Altschuls quickly bought a home and a shop specializing
in interior design and silk flowers.
In 2004, just after they'd expanded the shop inventory, along came three major storms: Hurricane Charley, which
destroyed their shop; then Hurricanes Francis and Jeanne.
The Altschuls bought a used Winnebago, sold their house and moved what furniture they wanted to keep to Bobbie's
parents' Florida home. In 2005, the couple hit the road with a talking Quaker parrot named Chickadee Charlie for
company and a red 2004 Saturn in tow. Along the way, they rescued a small dog, named Scuba; domesticated a feral
cat, which may be part bobcat, named Snorkel. The Altschuls visited 54 national monuments in 41 states. Bobbie
wrote her observations about each one.
"Every campground has its own personality. You meet a lot of interesting people at an RV campground," she said. "I
wish we could have done this with the kids, when they were little."
She jotted down some memories of her 15 years as a deputy Friend of the Court in three West Michigan counties,
Branch, Ottawa and Allegan. She saw the best and worst in human behavior while helping sort out divorce and
custody issues. From time to time, she'll get a phone call or note from someone who wants to thank her. One
unhappy client, however, expressed his displeasure by stalking and threatening her. He landed in jail. Altschul said
some of her court experiences helped add authentic drama to "Gypsy" but the story is not based on any specific
people or situations.
"The character in the book is not that person. No. Some of the minor things have happened," she said. "Obviously it's
not him."
But every spot the Freys stop is a place the Altschuls visited.
For the next two or three weeks, the Altschuls will be camping in West Michigan, hoping to sell a few more books —
the Winnebago sports a poster-sized version of the "Gypsy" book cover. When they return to the road, taking turns at
the wheel, they'll head west. Maybe Utah. Maybe Oklahoma. Bonnie Altschul can't wait to write about wherever she
goes, weaving each location into her characters' adventures.
"Gypsy Escape" is available in electronic, paperback and hardcover versions from Authorhouse, Amazon, Barnes and
Noble and other booksellers, or can be purchased directly from the Altschuls by e-mailing email@example.com or
by calling (941) 286-1203. Prices range from $3.95 to $13.70.
An excerpt from "Gypsy Escape" in which
Beth and her dog, Hootmaan, confront a stranger
The rustling in the trees sounded closer with each passing minute. Sweat broke out on
Beth's brow as she rounded a bend that she thought was not too far from the
campground but was closer to the tree line. Her heart skipped several beats when from
around a huge tree a shadow emerged and a large deer leaped in front of her and
plunged into the river and began to swim across. Beth had to laugh out loud as she put
her hands on her knees and tried to catch her breath.
She had calmed herself, slipped (her gun) back into her waistband and her heart rate
was back to normal when she felt a huge rough hand on her shoulder. Hootmaan let
out a yelp as she spun around to be face to face with the largest man she had ever
seen. He was taller than Alex so he was over six feet tall. She looked into the
menacing grey eyes and the thick beard and seemed to be frozen in place. She had
forgotten for a moment that she had the gun behind her back and she spun around
and away from the hand that rested on her shoulder, her hand searching for the
Almost tripping on Hootmaan's leash she brought the gun up and pointed it at the
man. "Back off," she yelled.

1. No Street lights. There are no street lights on highways. Be extremely careful at night if you are driving and watch the road when you are taking any form of public transportation. The roads have a surplus of curves without barriers that could lead your car straight off a cliff. I'm assuming you don't want that. Use your high beams when possible.

What is rewriting?
Rewriting is taking something which is already written be it content, a paragraph, an article or a story and rewriting it with new words and forming the same idea into new sentences. However, rewriting supposes that you won't change the meaning of words.
How to rewrite an article?
The task to rewrite the article is to go through the article, understand the basic meaning it denotes and with skill and knowledge recreate the same article in a fresh way keeping the meaning intact. One may check the article for plagiarisms and remove it adding its own sentences. Again the data in the article is researched and corrected or added to make the article informative. Some changes are allowed but in a rewritten article you do not have the luxury to change the meaning of the article that is being rewritten. I hope now you know how to rewrite an article.
Is the rewriting service expensive?
No the rewriting service is not at all expensive. They are affordable and we also give additional discounts from time to time. There are also no hidden charges that you may fret.
Where is your office?
Our main rephrase office is in the UK, the rest of our small offices are in different countries on every continent.
Will our project be delivered on time?
Yes we strictly maintain the submission of each and every project without any delay.

Robert I. Levy (1924 – 29 August 2003, Asolo, Veneto, Italy) was an American psychiatrist and anthropologist known for his fieldwork in Tahiti and Nepal and on the cross-cultural study of emotions. Though he did not receive a formal degree in anthropology, he spent most of his adult life conducting anthropological fieldwork or teaching in departments of anthropology. In developing his approach to anthropology, he credited his cousin, the anthropologist Roy Rappaport, and Gregory Bateson[1] (another famous anthropologist who never received a graduate degree in anthropology).
Robert Levy initially trained as a psychoanalytic psychiatrist and had a private practice in psychiatry for several years[2] before he became involved in an ethnographic research project in the Society Islands (Tahiti), organized by anthropologist Douglas Oliver. He did field work in the Society Islands for twenty-six months, first during a pilot study in July and August 1961, then for two years between July 1962 and June 1964.[3] He published this research in a number of articles and the book Tahitians: mind and experience in the Society Islands (1973), which was selected as a finalist for the National Book Awards in 1974.[4] In this seminal work both in the ethnography of Polynesian societies and in psychological anthropology, he first demonstrated what he called person-centered ethnography, an approach to fieldwork that drew on his training as a clinical psychiatrist to understand individual feelings, experience, and motivation within a given cultural setting.
From 1964 to 1966 he was a senior scholar in the Institute of Advanced Projects at the East-West Center and research associate in anthropology at Bishop Museum, Honolulu. In 1969 he took a faculty position as professor in the newly established anthropology department at the University of California, San Diego, where he taught for many years.
His other major fieldwork site was the Newar city of Bhaktapur in Nepal.
After retiring from UCSD in 1991, he was appointed research professor of anthropology at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and research professor of anthropology at Duke University.[5]
He received a number of awards for his scholarly activities. He was elected Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1996.[5] In 2001 the Society for Psychological Anthropology honored him with its Lifetime Achievement Award.[6]
He died while on holiday in the Italian town of Asolo, from complications of Parkinson's disease.[7] A number of articles relating to his research, as well as a brief memorial written by his wife, were published in a special volume of Ethos (December 2005, Vol. 33, No. 4), the journal of the Society for Psychological anthropology.
His students included the anthropologists Douglas Hollan, Paula Levin, Steven Parish.

Vendor Advocacy
Melbournians, on average, sell their home every 11 years, many longer, so that's not much experience in selling one of their largest assets -, in a constantly changing property market. Increasingly vendors are outsourcing their house selling management to a Vendors Advocate, to be their project manager. As Vendor Advocates we provide independent advice on pricing your home, sales methods, assess the property and then interview and select the most appropriate agent to work. We then monitor the sales campaign and ensure that the campaign is being managed appropriately. We are there when you need to make critical decisions at the auction or in sales negotiations. Best of all, this independent service is of no cost to you— the fees for the vendors advocate comes out of the selling agents normal commission charge.
By having a vendor advocate, you won't have to be stressed out by the following tasks associated with selling a property:
- Interviewing agents—having to know the industry lingo and discerning whether they are being truthful to you; someone who has no one else but your interests
- Determining your property's purchase price—knowing your property's true market appeal and market value
- Negotiating commissions—when is a commission fair and reasonable? How do you ensure you won't be ripped off?
- Getting your property "out there", advertising it and making sure your listing is active and doesn't get buried amongst the piles of properties for sale.

cromwell spark backend
I got the following error when running command
java -Dconfig.file=cromwell.config.spark.txt -jar cromwell-28.jar run hc.local.wdl hc.local.json
[error] Failed to instantiate Cromwell System. Shutting down Cromwell. [error] : cromwell.backend.impl.spark.SparkBackendFactory.<init>(java.lang.String, cromwell.backend.BackendConfigurationDescriptor)
Here is the spark backend of my cromwell config file
backend { default = "Spark" providers { Spark { actor-factory = "cromwell.backend.impl.spark.SparkBackendFactory" config { # Root directory where Cromwell writes job results. This directory must be # visible and writeable by the Cromwell process as well as the jobs that Cromwell # launches. root: "cromwell-executions" filesystems { local { localization: [ "hard-link", "soft-link", "copy" ] } } # change (master, deployMode) to (yarn, client), (yarn, cluster) # or (spark://hostname:port, cluster) for spark standalone cluster mode master: "spark://localhost:7077" deployMode: "cluster" } } } }
can anyone help?
jgentry Member, Broadie, Dev ✭✭✭
Pinging @DilliWala_Cric - this looks like a continuation of the previous question
@blueskypy Can you share if possible your hc.local.wdl , hc.local.json and cromwell.config.spark.txt ?
@jgentry quick question, it has been a while since i touched SparkBackend. My assumption is with new version of Cromwell 0.29 or 0.30 backward compatibility should be there , as in i don't have to change anything in SparkBackend to adapt to new interface or design ? In theory it should work as it was tested last time ?
Thanks @DilliWala_Cric for the help! Please see attached files. The bam and ref files are from this tutorial. I changed it to HC Spark and attached the ref.2bit it needs.
I didn't include the below
runtimeblock in the
taskdefinition because I don't know what's the
appMainClass. Could that be the problem?
runtime { appMainClass: "${entry_point}" executorMemory: "${memory}" executorCores: "${cores}" }
In addition, can I add other options of
spark-submitto the
runtimeblock. If I run HC Spark using gatk-launch only, i.e. w/o WDL and cromwell
gatk-4.beta.4/gatk-launch HaplotypeCallerSpark -R f.fasta \ -I in.bam -O s.raw.indels.snps.vcf \ -- --sparkRunner SPARK \ --sparkMaster spark://localhost:7077 \ --deploy-mode cluster \ --driver-cores 4 \ --driver-memory 8g \ --executor-memory 4g \ --total-executor-cores 10 \ --dryRun
It actually run
spark-submitwith many options which may need to be included in the
runtimeblock if running with cromwell.
spark-submit --master spark://localhost:7077 --conf spark.driver.userClassPathFirst=true \ --conf spark.io.compression.codec=lzf --conf spark.driver.maxResultSize=0 \ --conf spark.executor.extraJavaOptions=-DGATK_STACKTRACE_ON_USER_EXCEPTION=true \ -Dsamjdk.use_async_io_read_samtools=false -Dsamjdk.use_async_io_write_samtools=false \ -Dsamjdk.use_async_io_write_tribble=false -Dsamjdk.compression_level=1 -Dsnappy.disable=true \ --conf spark.driver.extraJavaOptions=-DGATK_STACKTRACE_ON_USER_EXCEPTION=true \ -Dsamjdk.use_async_io_read_samtools=false -Dsamjdk.use_async_io_write_samtools=false \ -Dsamjdk.use_async_io_write_tribble=false -Dsamjdk.compression_level=1 -Dsnappy.disable=true \ --conf spark.kryoserializer.buffer.max=512m --conf spark.yarn.executor.memoryOverhead=600 \ --deploy-mode cluster --driver-cores 4 --driver-memory 8g --executor-memory 4g --total-executor-cores 10 \ gatk-4.beta.4/gatk-package-4.beta.4-spark.jar HaplotypeCallerSpark -R f.fasta -I in.bam \ -O s.raw.indels.snps.vcf --sparkMaster spark://localhost:7077
I'm using a Spark standalone cluster
@blueskypy thank you for the reply, I am trying to run SparkBackend with latest Cromwell for client mode with simple word count Spark application to verify if backend is still functional with latest Cromwell. But, i see similar issue. So let me first resolve that.
Second, entry point is one of the supported runtime attributes, because in Spark-submit there is a --class switch to tell where to start from.
@DilliWala_Cric Thanks for the quick reply! Regarding the 2nd point, the above
gatk-launchscript actually run successfully in my Spark standalone cluster, but the
spark-submitcommand produced from
gatk-launchdoes not have the
@blueskypy ok, When you say working in your Spark standalone cluster, is that through Cromwell or without ? I think --class is not mandatory as long as application jar knows where to start executing.
Thanks @DilliWala_Cric ! That 'working' is without cromwell.
@DilliWala_Cric There are some errors in my wdl and json files in previous upload, although those are not the cause of the current issue. Attached are the corrected wdl and json files
@blueskypy , i tried to run a simple word count yesterday through Spark Backend in Cromwell, i had to do minor fix and it was working, I am trying to reach @jgentry for his suggestion how to reflect that change in master branch and if any change to README as well.
Thanks @DilliWala_Cric ! Looking forward to the update!
Also can I add other options of
spark-submitin the runtime block, in addition to the four listed in the README?
@jgentry with current cromwell version. If following wdl and input are used with Spark backend i see an error stating runtime key not found.
task sparkjob_with_yarn_cluster { File input_jar String output_base String entry_point Int cores String memory command { ${input_jar} ${output_base} } runtime { appMainClass: "${entry_point}" executorMemory: "${memory}" executorCores: "${cores}" } output { File out = "${output_base}" } } workflow sparkBETest { call sparkjob_with_yarn_cluster }

@blueskypy i have committed minor fixes to bring back Sparkbacken to live, it should be compiling and running Spark jobs as per current Readme, can you give it a shot and see how much progress you make with current state of the backend.
Thanks @DilliWala_Cric ! I cloned the github repository and rebuilt the cromwell jar. Here is my command:
java -Dconfig.file=cromwell.config.spark.txt -jar cromwell-30-2ee98e9-SNAP.jar run hc.local.wdl -i hc.local.json
The cromwell started successfully, but I still got error:

Please see the attachment for the wdl, json, and cromwell.conf.spark.txt
Hi @blueskypy i am trying to understand this following command
command 1:
command { set -euxo pipefail ${gatkL} HaplotypeCallerSpark \ -R ${Ref2bit} \ -I ${inputBAM} \ -O ${sampleName}.raw.indels.snps.vcf \ -- --sparkRunner LOCAL }
what should be your ultimate command ? like currently if you pass under command section as follows
command 2:
command { <spark_application> <arg1> .... <argN> }
so i am trying to break above command 1.
command 2 would be ultimately interpolated to the following command
spark-submit --master local --total-executor-cores 12 --deploy-mode client --class xxx --executor-memory 4 <spark_application> <arg1> .... <argN>
Thanks @DilliWala_Cric for your continuous effort working on this issue! Really appreciate! The command block in my wdl file produces the following command:
java -Dsamjdk.use_async_io_read_samtools=false -Dsamjdk.use_async_io_write_samtools=true -Dsamjdk.use_async_io_write_tribble=false -Dsamjdk.compression_level=1 -Dsnappy.disable=true -jar /path/to/gatk-4.beta.3-SNAPSHOT/gatk-package-4.beta.3-SNAPSHOT-local.jar HaplotypeCallerSpark -R ${Ref2bit} -I ${inputBAM} -O ${sampleName}.raw.indels.snps.vcf
@DilliWala_Cric , after answering your question. I changed the wdl and json file a bit so that the command block produces the following:
/path/to/gatk-4.beta.3-SNAPSHOT/gatk-package-4.beta.3-SNAPSHOT-local.jar HaplotypeCallerSpark -R ${Ref2bit} -I ${inputBAM} -O ${sampleName}.raw.indels.snps.vcf
But still I got exactly the same error. Here are the new wdl file:
workflow hcSpark { call haplotypeCallerSpark } task haplotypeCallerSpark { File GATK_jar File Ref2bit String sampleName File inputBAM File bamIndex command { ${GATK_jar} HaplotypeCallerSpark \ -R ${Ref2bit} \ -I ${inputBAM} \ -O ${sampleName}.raw.indels.snps.vcf } runtime { appMainClass: "org.broadinstitute.hellbender.Main" executorMemory: "4G" executorCores: "2" } output { File rawVCF = "${sampleName}.raw.indels.snps.vcf" } }
The new json file
{ "hcSpark.haplotypeCallerSpark.Ref2bit": "ref/ref.2bit", "hcSpark.haplotypeCallerSpark.bamIndex": "bams/mother.bai", "hcSpark.haplotypeCallerSpark.GATK_jar": "gatk-4.beta.3-SNAPSHOT/gatk-package-4.beta.3-SNAPSHOT-lo cal.jar", "hcSpark.haplotypeCallerSpark.inputBAM": "bams/mother.bam", "hcSpark.haplotypeCallerSpark.sampleName": "NA12878" }
Hi @blueskypy can you check the script file under the execution folder ? if that file exist then try to run that command through console. Secondly, do you think in theory following command should work
spark-submit --master spark:// <ip>: 7077/ ... --class .... application.jar args ...
i think you are submitting in cluster mode right ? and making changes to configuration as per : (Configuration)[https://github.com/broadinstitute/cromwell/blob/develop/README.md#configuring-spark-master-and-deploy-mode]
Thanks @DilliWala_Cric ! In the
scriptfile under the execution folder, the command contains
--executor-memory 4instead of
--executor-memory 4g. That error seems preventing the executor from starting. So can you fix this bug?
Also there are many
spark-submitoptions used in GATK functions with spark version. I wonder if the
runtimeblock can be changed to something like this
runtime { --class org.broadinstitute.hellbender.Main --driver-cores 4 --driver-memory 8g --total-executor-cores 10 --executor-memory 4g --conf spark.io.compression.codec=lzf ... }
So users can put any options into it and those strings are added to
spark-submitcommand w/o any change.
Also, seems the current spark backend is treating
--classas mandatory, could you remove that requirement since it's not mandatory for GATK jars?
last question: does the spark backend also check the status of the submitted spark jobs, so that cromwell knows when those jobs are done and move to the next
@blueskypy Thank you for trying that and identifying more requirements as well as an issue. Can you please create an issue in Cromwell github or what is the way to go @jgentry ? I would fix that unit part for executor memory as one task , whereas adding more runtime attributes and making --class as optional in another task. So, can you do me a favor and request them as two separate entities ?
Yes Spark backend do support checking of the status for a job submitted in client or cluster mode.
Thanks @DilliWala_Cric ! I've submitted the --class and attribute issues as two separate tickets in cromwell github.
@blueskypy thank you for creating those issues, also are you sure that you don't see in script executor memory as
2g? because we pass whatever you specify in runtime attributes as it is.
@DilliWala_Cric It's "4G" in the wdl script:
runtime { appMainClass: "org.broadinstitute.hellbender.Main" executorMemory: "4G" executorCores: "2" }
But in the
scriptfile under the execution folder, the command reads
--executor-memory 4
@DilliWala_Cric , I wonder if you can help me with a question?
I suppose the cromwell spark backend would use
spark-submitto submit the
commandblock of those tasks. Can the
commandblock be any program? for example, a bash shell script, or a regular R script not using Spark API?
@blueskypy thank you for the clarification on memory unit not been passed. To answer your question on command block, yes you can pass anything like script (bash or R) but ultimately command will be as you saw in script file
spark-submit .... <command block from wdl>....is that what you were asking ?
@blueskypy Please check Pull request to address your request, let us know if that looks ok to you?
@blueskypy Just wondering did you get a chance to try out your requested changes in Spark Backend yet ?

WEST LONG BRANCH – Mike Basile, seated on the dais with three of his teammates and Monmouth University head football coach Kevin Callahan, broke into a grin Monday.
Basile has plenty to smile about.
The former Brick Memorial High School player has won numerous honors at defensive back for the Hawks. And his name is on the lips of National Football League teams – scouts from the New York Giants and the Oakland Raiders watched Basile practice Monday.
The subject of the NFL came up at the 2017 Monmouth University Football Media Day, resulting in the smile.
"It's definitely on my mind," the senior safety said. "It's a dream, a goal. My goal right now is this season. My goal is to help us win the Big South Conference, go 1-0 and take it from there. If I go out there and play my game, then everything will fall into place."
Several former Hawks have made it to the NFL under the tutelage of Callahan, the team's lone mentor in history as it begins its 25th season. They include wide receiver Chris Hogan, who achieved fame last year with the New England Patriots, and Miles Austin. The latter starred at wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys.
"Several teams will come through to look at Mike," Callahan said. "Probably every NFL team will be here to look at him before the season is over. It's a big deal, but then it is not. The scouts are discreet. They stay out of the way, but they will want to size him up. They will watch two, three and four years of video of Mike as a college player. Scouts coming here is a regular occurrence."
Basile has been named to the 2017 STATS Buch Buchanan Award Watch List. The former Mustang was a finalist for the award as a junior, finishing in 24th place. He's one of eight returning finalists to make the preseason watch list. He's one of seven defensive backs on the 21-player list.
Honored as an Associated Press second-team All-American as a junior, Basile was recently named to a pair of 2017 first-team preseason All-America teams and was selected as a preseason All-Big South Conference defensive back. The three-year starter won Big South Rookie of the Year honors and has earned first-team all-conference honors every year.
Last season, the former Mustang registered 110 tackles and led the Big South in blocked kicks and forced fumbles. He made double digit stops in five games and enters this season third in the NCAA for active career tackles with 307 and second in solo tackles per game with 6.03. Basile is third all-time at Monmouth in tackles, needing just 47 to move past former Jackson Memorial player Aaron Edwards for first all-time.
"They are all great accolades and they all mean that my hard work is paying off," Basile said. "It's about doing my job and helping the team win. The honors give me a great feeling as they show my hard work is paying off.
Basile is one of the Hawks' two captains.
"First of all, I go out there and do all I can to help the team," he said. "I have to help everyone on the field and make sure everyone is doing the right thing. If everyone communicates, we have the chance to make the right play."
Basile said his work ethic has resulted in success.
"First off, I work real hard," the 6-foot-1, 200-pounder said. "I want to do my best. I know that nothing will be handed to me. If you work hard, things will fall into place and they will happen the way I want them to."
Basile said he enjoys playing strong safety.
"I love it," he said. "I have been there since my freshman year. It's the best position on the field as you are in charge. You control the outcome. You get interceptions and tackle people. You are all over the ball. That is where you have the most impact. I try to go out there and give the younger guys the advice that helped me play when I was younger. Guys like Joe Johnson (a former Manchester player) helped me."
Callahan said Basile's presence has meant plenty of good things to the Hawks.
"It was very obvious after three days of practice as a freshman that Basile had it," Callahan said. "It takes some guys two days, a month, a full season. His value and contributions have been significant on the field and they have been much deeper far beyond the field. He is a true leader and a tireless worker. He represents us as well as anyone could hope. He is very competitive and a guy other people want to be like and emulate.
"He plays with such tremendous effort. He puts himself in the position to make plays on a regular basis. He understands how and why things happen and he gets himself into position to make those plays and tackles."
Toms River's Berry Returns
Back in the Hawks' lineup is junior cornerback Tymere Berry, a former Toms River South football and basketball standout.
Berry said he was academically ineligible last season.
"I was young and dumb to be honest," the criminal justice major said. "I am the first person from my family to go to college and I lacked experience and guidance. Coach Callahan and the academic staff pushed me to where I am now. It's great to be back. I am relishing the grind. I worked real hard to get back. I am taking it step by step and day by day. I am just trying to get better."
Berry said it was tough to sit out last season.
"It was real hard as I played since I was eight years old," he said. "I never missed a game. It put me at a low point and made me work even harder."
Berry played in nine games and started two as a true freshman, finishing the season with 31 total tackles, including 22 solo stops. He added three pass breakups and made his first career interception against Presbyterian. He's a 6-foot-1,175-pounder.
"I want to put Monmouth University football on the map," he said. "I feel I am in a good position to help the team win games. Mike Basile has been here four years and he has helped me each day. I am out here to work and get better."
Berry said he missed out on playing by several credits.
"I was short maybe three credits," he said.
"He did not take care of what he had to do academically and he found himself short credits," Callahan said. "If you want to play, you have to take care of business. He appreciates the chance and opportunity to play college football. He has learned that he has to hold up his end of the bargain. The bottom line of it is that he is smart and is doing very well academically. Perhaps the point of the importance of academics was not driven home in the past."
"Tymere is awesome," Basile said. "He is one of the most athletic guys I have ever seen. He will be a big, big important factor for us this season. He has matured a lot. He just goes out there and plays ball and there is nothing stopping him. He has all of the athletic gifts. He runs and jumps and is quick. I played against him in high school and he is one of the best athletes on our team."
Jackson's Castronuova Prominent
Former Jackson Memorial player Matt Castronuova, a junior, plans to play a large role this season at wide receiver.
"Right now, I am starting at wide receiver," the 5-foot-9,175-pounder said. "Everything feels good. It's my job to lose and it's real nice to be in that position. I have a good work ethic and I work hard each day. I am competitive with my teammates and I let my ability speak for itself."
He played in all 11 of the Hawks' games at wide receiver and on special teams last season, making nine tackles.
"I have some speed," he said. "I make guys miss when they try to tackle me. I am not the tallest guy, but I can make the plays."
More Local Stars
Other local players hoping to make names for themselves for the Hawks this season are senior wide receiver Vinny Grasso (Donovan Catholic), senior linebacker Jimmy Cleveland (Donovan), sophomore defensive lineman Adam Kakar (Toms River North, Milford Academy) and freshman offensive lineman Justin Szuba (Brick Memorial).
Grasso, a 5-foot-7,175-pounder, competed in each of Monmouth's 11 games as a sophomore, making one catch and adding one tackle on special teams. Cleveland is a 6-foot-2,239-pounder.
The 6-foot-3,320-pound Kakar played in 11 games for the Hawks as a freshman, making one solo tackle and four assisted stops. Szuba is a 6-foot-7,260-pounder.
New Stadium
The Hawks will open their regular season Saturday, September 2 at 3 p.m. (ESPN3) when they host Lafayette College at the brand new $16 million Henni Kantor Kessler & John H. Kessler Stadium in West Long Branch.
It will house more than half of the Hawks' athletes, including lacrosse and track and field. The Kesslers were members of the original Touchdown Club, which helped bring football to the school in 1992. Henni and John, former Monmouth students, pledged the first gift to get the original Kessler Field built and saw more than 350,000 fans support 109 football games over the past 24 years. Henni captained the cheerleading team while John played baseball for the Hawks.
Henn is a former trustee and a member of the school's Society of Trustees while John is a trustee emeritus.
The couple has been giving back to the school since the tenure of president emeritus Samuel Megill, including the Henni Kessler Endowed Cheerleading Scholarship and a significant gift to construct the OceanFirst Bank Center, home of the Henni Kantor Kessler Varsity Club.
Construction began on Kessler Stadium prior to the start of last season with the old structure being removed days after the Hawks' final home game of the season October 29. The new stadium features more than 4,200 seats, including 800 chair-back seats, and stretches from end zone to end zone.
"A new videoboard at the cost of nearly $1 million will be built," Callahan said. "It will be funded by our alumni group. Several hundred alumni will be there for the opener. It will be a great feeling to see the stadium filled. I am happy that these guys will get the chance to play in that type of venue and in the same type of environment they play in on the road."
The facility includes a full concourse with concession stands and bathrooms, a state of the art press box, multimedia booths, coaches' booths and a ticket office.
Fans are invited to a free ribbon cutting ceremony at 12:30 p.m. on September 2. For more information about the day or to R.S.V.P to the BBQ (from 1-3 p.m.), please contact Monmouth's Ken Taylor at email@example.com.

Why some Limit/Stop orders don't hit although the price hit on my market watch (MW)?
Posted by Mohammad Rahhal, Last modified by Ismail Moamer on 24 July 2019 01:08 PM
That's because there are two types for the spread calculation, if you go from the backoffice to System Options, Symbols Settings then double click on any symbol, you will see that there is an option on the General tab for the Spread Calculation, where there are two choices here for calculating the spread:
1- If it's set to be calculated "from the Bid" then the formula will be simply, let us say the spread will be 6 and the calculation will be like this:
MW BID = feed BID
So the BID (in client and backoffice platforms) will be as it is from the data feed bid, and the prices on the Market watch will be as the chart since the chart is reading from the FEED bid price directly without re-spreading.
2- If it's set to be calculated using "the average" then the formula will be as:
MW BID = (feed BID + feed ASK) / 2 - spread/2
So the BID in client platform will not be from as the backoffice platform bid and the data feed bid. And the Bid prices on the Market watch will not be as the chart.
When you set a spread value in the parameters to 6 for symbol X for example, and suppose that the current bid and ask on your data feed is 120 and 122 respectively.
More simple way to calculate the spread is to divide the original spread value over 2
(6/2 = 3) then take the average for current bid and ask on your data feed
((bid + ask) / 2), then the Bid value = average – 3 and the Ask value = average +3).
The spread calculation will subtract the feed spread at the first place (6), then calculate the average of data feed prices ((bid + ask)/2= 121) and take the average of the spread which is 6/2 = 3, then the bid value on market watch will be 121 – 3 = 118 and the ask value on market watch will be 121+3= 124.

Dir: Matthew Vaughn. US. 2011. 132mins
In 2000, Bryan Singer's adaptation of the X-Men comic book series gave the modern superhero genre a kick in the pants, seeding action thrills with deeper ethical conflicts, and laying the groundwork for both the commercial success and some of the more artistic-minded noodling of a wide variety of genre followers.
Burgeoning talent Fassbender, showcasing an appealingly dangerous, quicksilver charm, forever settles the actor-versus-movie-star argument surrounding him: he's both.
A prequel to the original films, and presumably the beginning of a story arc that could stretch out over a trilogy of its own, X-Men: First Class doesn't quite touch the inspired blend of brain and brawn that the best of its predecessors had to offer, but neither does it embarrass itself. It's a slick piece of pop entertainment marked by smarter than average characterisations and some solid performances, and it shows that mainstream studio films can indeed, with some effort, accommodate muddied heroic intentions.
With the inclusion of 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine spinoff, the X-Men films have grossed over a combined $1.5 billion in theaters, almost perfectly halved between domestic and foreign earnings. First Class looks to be another monster performer for 20th Century Fox, capturing low- to mid-nine-figure theatrical returns and enjoying a healthy life in ancillary markets.
Charting the beginning of the X-Men saga, in which factions with special mutant abilities largely square off against one another in a still recognisably human world, the movie unfolds against the backdrop of the Cuban missile crisis. Before they adopted the monikers of Professor X and Magneto, Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) and Erik Lehnsherr (Michael Fassbender) were not archenemies, but instead friends aligned against a common foe. Genetic scientist and mutant Sebastian Shaw (Kevin Bacon) killed Erik's mother in front of him when he was but a boy, and then used the research advances he discovered to arrest his own aging process.
When a CIA investigation co-headed by Moira MacTaggert (Rose Byrne) uncovers some dastardly scheming by Shaw, she solicits the professional advice and assistance of Xavier, who eventually reveals his extraordinary telepathic gifts. With the American government's partial cooperation, Xavier finds and recruits other genetically altered individuals, in an effort to stave off Shaw's plan to foment nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union. Their plans dovetail with the more personal vengeance of Lensherr. Though he joins nascent organisation's quickened training regimen, Lehnsherr is more skeptical of the government than Xavier, believing that the mere existence of one mutant threat will be used, perhaps sooner rather than later, as justification by humans to round up all mutants.
While the script departs somewhat significantly from the comic book source material, especially as it relates to the villainous character of Shaw, for viewers either less familiar with or invested in the alternate world in which X-Men unfolds, the choice of such a known, global-stage confrontation presents a few problems of emotional involvement, not the least of which is a firmly established outcome. Atomic energy is also tabbed as having exacerbated mutant development, but never really explored in interesting depth.
For the most part, however, First Class overcomes these hurdles with a superior presentation of various inner conflicts, including those of shape-shifter Raven (Jennifer Lawrence), and a slowly escalating tension between Lehnsherr and Xavier. The series' same undertones of sexual, racial and sociocultural discrimination and alienation are also present, for those who want to read into them.
Hearteningly, director Matthew Vaughn and his team don't overburden the action with bloated set-up or explication of mutant powers. While there is a scene which explores the individual gifts of the new team of young recruits, it plays so well because these are basically the equivalent of teenagers showing off for one another.
The real world backdrop isn't realistic per se, but it does provide a grounding influence to the various mutant abilities. John Mathieson's cinematography and Chris Seagers' production design strike a nice balance between capturing and conveying the known and the fantastical.
The film's special effects work and technical polish are equally superb. The diamond-morph skin of villainous Emma Frost (January Jones) is striking, as are an early sequence in which Lehnsherr rips an anchor all the way through a boat and a finale in which Lensherr tests his powers against Shaw's special submarine.
The performances in superhero movies, especially ensembles with as many characters to service as this one, usually trend toward the soporific, but there's a solid, almost across-the-board level of heartfelt engagement here. In particular, McAvoy and Fassbender each deliver fine, captivating turns. The former ably communicates Xavier's goodheartedness with a bit less on the written page than one might like, while burgeoning talent Fassbender, showcasing an appealingly dangerous, quicksilver charm, forever settles the actor-versus-movie-star argument surrounding him: he's both.

Laura & Ryan
How They Met
We met at work in 2014. We became friends fast and spent a lot of time joking around and playing pranks on one another. Friendship quickly grew and brought us here today.
The Proposal
Ryan and I had recently moved in together and we're still unpacking our belongings. We were unpacking a few small items and deciding what to eat for dinner that night. Somehow Ryan sneakily slipped away and retrieved what I didn't realise at the time was a ring box and appeared back on one knee. He was nervous but very sweet and talked about our journey thus far and how excited he was for the now and future. Most of this was a blur as I was very shocked and very excited but I remember some of the sweet words and overwhelming happiness we both felt.
The Engagement Ring
Ryan designed the ring on Ritani.com. He was able to chose the style and color of the band as well as pick the diamond. He knew I wanted something classic, elegant and sparkly. He exceeded all of my expectations. The band is 18k gold and classic and there is a beautiful solitaire diamond of just under 1.4 cts. It is beautiful and so sparkly!
