![]() ![]() In the second half of the novel, things begin to ramp up, and they ramp up fast. Along with an enjoyable supporting cast, the story and its twists run smoothly, with enough hooks to keep me invested and reading on. Delta’s world shifts astronomically, and she doesn’t find much time to rest as she tries to navigate her new circumstances. In terms of the story, in typical Bowman fashion, the stakes are set high and early on. There’s the familiar aspect of seeing Bowman take on new challenges in her writing and world building through new settings and circumstances for her characters to navigate, but with the added benefit of a what I’d almost describe as a nostalgic homecoming. The Wastes of Dustborn harken back to the western setting of Vengeance Road, while some of the overarching plots and themes feel like a return to some of the better aspects of Taken. With Dustborn, we are introduced to the post-apocalyptic Wastes, and while it’s yet another genre departure, it feels for the first time like a return to something we’ve seen before from Erin Bowman, but by no means do I say that in a negative way. And that’s just for her YA releases - 2020 saw Bowman’s first foray into middle grade fantasy with The Girl and the Witch’s Garden. Her debut Taken trilogy was set against a dystopian backdrop, her incredible Vengeance Roadand Retribution Rails set in the wild west, before taking a dip into sci-fi horror with her Contagion duology. I think it’s pretty well known by now, nine books in, that Erin Bowman doesn’t like to hang around in one genre for too long. ![]() ![]() What Delta doesn’t count on is what waits at the Verdant: a long-forgotten secret that will shake the foundation of her entire world. If Delta can trust Asher, she just might decode the map and trade evidence of the Verdant to the General for her family. So when raiders sent by a man known as the General attack her village, Delta suspects he is searching for her.ĭelta sets out to rescue her family but quickly learns that in the Wastes no one can be trusted - perhaps not even her childhood friend, Asher, who has been missing for nearly a decade. In a wasteland plagued by dust squalls, geomagnetic storms, and solar flares, many would kill for it - even if no one can read it. Things are no different with Dustborn.ĭelta of Dead River has always been told to hide her back, where a map is branded on her skin to a rumoured paradise called the Verdant. It’s become somewhat of a recurring theme for me to pick up a new Erin Bowman book with little knowledge of what it’s going to be about but a fairly good assumption that I’m going to have a good time. ![]()

![]() We recommend using timetables as your de facto scheduling mechanism in Airflow 2.2+. And because timetables are imported as Airflow plugins, you can use community-developed timetables to quickly - and literally - get your DAG up to speed. You can program varying schedules, conditional logic, and more, directly within your DAG schedule. Essentially, timetable is a DAG-level parameter that you can set to a Python function that contains your execution schedule.Ī timetable is significantly more customizable than a cron job or timedelta. This is why Airflow 2.2 introduced timetables as the new default scheduling method. Scheduling DAGs to skip holidays, run only at certain times, or otherwise run on varying intervals can cause major headaches if you’re relying solely on cron jobs or timedeltas. There are some data engineering use cases that are difficult or even impossible to address with Airflow’s original scheduling method. Thankfully, Airflow 2.2+ simplifies DAG scheduling with the introduction of the timetables! Use Timetables for Simpler Scheduling This quirk is specific to Apache Airflow, and it’s important to remember - especially if you’re using default variables and macros. ![]() This happens because Airflow can’t ensure that all of the data from 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM is present until the end of that hourly interval. An hourly DAG, for example, will execute its 2:00 PM run when the clock strikes 3:00 PM. By design, an Airflow DAG will run at the end of its schedule_interval.Īs stated above, an Airflow DAG will execute at the completion of its schedule_interval, which means one schedule_interval AFTER the start date. ![]() The two most important things to keep in mind about scheduling are: The functionality of the Airflow Scheduler can be counterintuitive, but you’ll get the hang of it. Huh - what happened to the 3pm run?īefore you jump into debugging mode (you wouldn’t be the first), rest assured that this is expected behavior. You hop on at 3:30pm to find that your DAG did in fact run, but your logs indicate that there was only one recorded execution at 2pm. You set an hourly interval beginning today at 2pm, setting a reminder to check back in a couple of hours. You wrote a new DAG that needs to run every hour and you’re ready to turn it on. Your DAG Isn’t Running at the Expected Time If your team is running Airflow 1 and would like help establishing a migration path, reach out to us. We strongly encourage your team to upgrade to Airflow 2.x.

![]() It can also be used as a component of soup broth, as in the popular stew doenjang jjigae, which usually includes tofu, various vegetables such as chile peppers, zucchini, and scallion, and (optionally) mushrooms, red meat, or scallops.ĭoenjang is rich in flavonoids and beneficial vitamins, minerals, and plant hormones (phytoestrogens) which are sometimes claimed to possess anti carcinogenic properties. This combination of leaf vegetable and doenjang (or ssamjang) often complements popular Korean meat dishes such as samgyeopsal, bulgogi, bibimbap and bossam. However, it is more commonly mixed with garlic, sesame oil, and sometimes gochujang to produce ssamjang, which is then traditionally eaten with or without rice wrapped in leaf vegetables such as red leaf lettuce. Seasoned doenjang ( Korean: 조미된장) – product that contains more than 90% of doenjang or hansik-doenjang.ĭoenjang can be eaten as a condiment in raw-paste form with vegetables, as flavored seasoning or even as a dipping condiment.Doenjang ( Korean: 된장, "fermented soybean paste") – doenjang made with non-traditional meju (which can be made of soybean, rice, barley, wheat or degreased soybean, and ripened using traditional method or Aspergillus) and saline solution.Hansik-doenjang ( Korean: 한식된장, "Korean-style fermented soybean paste") – doenjang made with traditional style meju and brine.Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety's Food Code classifies doenjang into three categories by their ingredients. Some current makers also add fermented, dried, and ground anchovies to accentuate doenjang's savory flavor. While traditional doenjang is made with soybeans and brine only, many factory-made variants of doenjang contain a fair amount of wheat flour just like most factory-made soy sauce does. No soy sauce is produced in the process, and the meju aged with the smaller amount of brine becomes jangjae, another type of doenjang. Jangjae ( Korean: 장재) – Smaller amount of brine is used from the beginning.Tojang ( Korean: 토장) – When the aged brine is boiled to become ganjang, the rest (aged meju chunks) are mashed to become tojang.Though doenjang and ganjang are usually made together, doenjang can also be made without producing any filtrate. When fermented well, the aged meju chunks are mashed to become doenjang, and the filtrate is boiled to become ganjang. Charcoal and chillies are added for their absorbent and antibacterial properties, as well as folk-religious beliefs that they drive evil spirits away. In Jeongwol, the first month of the lunar year, well-fermented meju bricks are washed and sun-dried.Īfter drying, the meju bricks are aged in onggi crocks ( jangdok) with brine. When the bricks harden, they are tied with rice straws to the eaves of the house, or put in the warm ondol room with rice straws, for fermentation. The meju bricks are then dried in a cool, shaded area for a week to several weeks until firm. About a doe (≈1.8 litres) or two does of pounded soybean is chunked, compressed, and shaped into a cube or a sphere called meju. ![]() Soybeans are soaked overnight, boiled in salt water, and then pounded in a mortar ( jeolgu) or coarsely ground in a millstone. Meju, Korean soybean brick, is made around ipdong in early November. Soup soy sauce is also made during the doenjang production. Production ĭoenjang is made entirely of fermented soybean and brine. Gyuhap chongseo explains how to pick a date for brewing, what to forbear, and how to keep and preserve doenjang and ganjang. Joseon texts such as Guhwangchwaryo and Jeungbo sallim gyeongje contain detailed procedures on how to brew good-quality doenjang and ganjang. Sikhwaji, a section from Goryeosa (History of Goryeo), recorded that doenjang and ganjang were included in the relief supplies in 1018, after a Khitan invasion, and in 1052, when a famine occurred. ![]() In Samguk Sagi, a historical record of the Three Kingdoms era, it is written that doenjang and ganjang along with meju and jeotgal were prepared for the wedding ceremony of the King Sinmun in February 683. Jangdoks used for doenjang production are found in the mural paintings of Anak Tomb No.3 from the 4th century Goguryeo. ![]() The Records of the Three Kingdoms, a Chinese historical text written and published in the third century AD, mentions that " Goguryeo people are good at brewing fermented soybeans" in the section named Dongyi (Eastern foreigners), in the Book of Wei. The earliest soybean fermentations in Korea seem to have begun prior to the era of the Three Kingdoms. It is also a byproduct of soup soy sauce production. Doenjang ( 된장 "thick sauce") or soybean paste is a type of fermented bean paste made entirely of soybean and brine. ![]() ![]() ![]() Regarding inappropriately being served at CinemaCon, Olivia stated that, 'Jason’s actions were clearly intended to threaten me and catch me off guard.

However, the duo have now put any anger and resentment behind them, the source shared. The two amicable exes have been stuck in a nasty bi-coastal custody battle for the past several years - due in large part to the fact that Olivia lives in LA and Jason lives in New York City - which caused huge controversy when the actress was served with custody papers while on-stage in front of 4,000 industry executives. 'Jason and Olivia are on very good terms and have become friends again,' they said, revealing that improved relations between the pair have had a 'very positive impact' on the co-parenting of their two children. The two ignited speculation that they were headed for a recoupling in January, when they were spotted being super touchy-feely with each other in Los Angeles, however the source noted that they are not currently in a romantic relationship and are instead focusing on 'friendship.'
