“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Galatians 6:9 (NIV) Dear Church, The world around us is tired, hurting, and confused. God’s presence always invites us to hope. Remember that God has done it in the past, and he continues to do that now. The King James version of this text says, “Behold, I will do a new thing …” It reminds me of the moments in Scripture where God speaks boldly through angels or his Spirit in unlikely moments. It may be so personal and painful that a Scripture passage like this can feel like salt in a wound. It may be every morning when you read the latest news about the pandemic or the war in Ukraine or the economy. It may be when you think about a difficult relationship with a family member or a coworker. I’m not sure when and where you may need the invitation to hope right now. Yes, even in the wilderness and the wasteland, God is doing a new thing where streams of living water flow. However, what we are invited to do is not to be constrained or discouraged by our past and present circumstances. Throughout the Bible, God reminds us of how important it is to remember what has happened in the past. ![]() See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” Isaiah 43:18-19 (NIV) God’s words through Isaiah are not meant to communicate blind optimism or inspiration. “Forget the former things do not dwell on the past. The good news of the kingdom of God invites us to hope. ![]() God’s faithfulness and provision throughout history invites us to hope. Scripture gives us an invitation to hope. While we often feel like we don’t have what we need in those valleys of despair, we may find exactly what we need the most - hope. There are so many moments when I’ve come before God in lament and asked for strength not to fall into despair. I’m praying that we will be the kind of church that will be faithful in the little things and able to be entrusted with even more.ĭear Church, It feels like on a weekly (and even daily) basis, there are fears, tragedies, and dangers that grieve or threaten us. How can we pursue a “good and faithful” life? What would that look like for you on a daily and weekly basis? Jesus makes it clear that what’s most valuable to God is not our treasures or our talents - God is most interested in our hearts. The reward is the affirmation of our Heavenly Father who says: “Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things I will put you in charge of many things. It’s not even the satisfaction that we have made a difference in the world. It’s not a better life where we enjoy the spoils of our riches. When we store up our treasures in heaven, we are invited to seek out a different kind of reward for our work and investment. They receive the same response from the master: “Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things I will put you in charge of many things. The first two servants put their talents to work and gain more with what they were given. Jesus tells a parable of a master who entrusts talents to his servants, goes away on a journey, and returns to settle accounts. We spend a lifetime in our work, education, and creative energy to be good stewards of what God has given us. We want to get a good return, either for ourselves or for others. We want our investments to be smart, efficient, and impactful. Most of us spend our waking hours trying to decide the best way to invest our time, talents, and treasures. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. ![]() “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. ![]() The SETOF modifier indicates that the function will return a set of items, rather than a single item. If present, it must agree with the result type implied by the output parameters: RECORD if there are multiple output parameters, or the same type as the single output parameter. When there are OUT or INOUT parameters, the RETURNS clause can be omitted. If the function is not supposed to return a value, specify void as the return type. Depending on the implementation language it might also be allowed to specify “ pseudo-types” such as cstring. The return type can be a base, composite, or domain type, or can reference the type of a table column. The return data type (optionally schema-qualified). All input parameters following a parameter with a default value must have default values as well. Only input (including INOUT) parameters can have a default value. The expression has to be coercible to the argument type of the parameter. default_exprĪn expression to be used as default value if the parameter is not specified. Using this feature can sometimes help make a function independent of changes to the definition of a table. The type of a column is referenced by writing table_name. ![]() Pseudo-types indicate that the actual argument type is either incompletely specified, or outside the set of ordinary SQL data types. The argument types can be base, composite, or domain types, or can reference the type of a table column.ĭepending on the implementation language it might also be allowed to specify “ pseudo-types” such as cstring. The data type(s) of the function's arguments (optionally schema-qualified), if any. (If you omit the name for an output argument, the system will choose a default column name.) argtype In any case, the name of an output argument is significant, because it defines the column name in the result row type. For other languages the name of an input argument is just extra documentation, so far as the function itself is concerned but you can use input argument names when calling a function to improve readability (see Section 4.3). Some languages (including SQL and PL/pgSQL) let you use the name in the function body. Also, OUT and INOUT arguments cannot be used together with the RETURNS TABLE notation. Only OUT arguments can follow a VARIADIC one. The mode of an argument: IN, OUT, INOUT, or VARIADIC. The name (optionally schema-qualified) of the function to create. Refer to Section 38.3 for further information on writing functions. To be able to create a function, you must have USAGE privilege on the argument types and the return type. The user that creates the function becomes the owner of the function. Also, ALTER FUNCTION can be used to change most of the auxiliary properties of an existing function. Use CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION to change a function definition without breaking objects that refer to the function. If you drop and then recreate a function, the new function is not the same entity as the old you will have to drop existing rules, views, triggers, etc. You must own the function to replace it (this includes being a member of the owning role). All other function properties are assigned the values specified or implied in the command. ![]() When CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION is used to replace an existing function, the ownership and permissions of the function do not change. (When using OUT parameters, that means you cannot change the types of any OUT parameters except by dropping the function.) To do that, you must drop and recreate the function. Also, CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION will not let you change the return type of an existing function. It is not possible to change the name or argument types of a function this way (if you tried, you would actually be creating a new, distinct function). To replace the current definition of an existing function, use CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION. However, functions and procedures of different argument types can share a name (this is called overloading). The name of the new function must not match any existing function or procedure with the same input argument types in the same schema. Otherwise it is created in the current schema. If a schema name is included, then the function is created in the specified schema. To be able to define a function, the user must have the USAGE privilege on the language. CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION will either create a new function, or replace an existing definition. ![]() It increases as some individuals become more affluent. Second, conspicuous consumption indirectly indicates the level of economic inequality in society. It makes some individuals want it even more. We call such goods Veblen goods, where an increase in price increases the good itself’s utility. Consumers still buy some goods, even though the price goes up. First, it explains that some consumers are not economically rational in making consumption decisions, rendering the law of demand invalid. This concept is important for several reasons. In collectivist cultures, therefore, the main striking driver of consumption is recognition by others. Individuals will choose products that enhance their status in society rather than fulfill their personal needs, or at least, fulfill the basic needs. That’s because purchasing decisions are based mainly on how an outsider sees an individual. This concept influences individual consumption behavior. These two factors are a reflection of the cultural class and socio-economic conditions in which they live.Ĭonspicuous consumption represents the perception of a person. It leads to conspicuous consumption because people believe they will achieve a positive self-image when buying the item.įurthermore, according to Veblen, people consume conspicuously for two main reasons to be recognized by their peers and to attain a higher social status in society. When a product is advertised as a branded item, many people want to associate themselves with the product. In this case, they believe property determines the public image and makes up for their shortcomings.Īnother reason is the influence of advertising. People use luxury items to hide their personal insecurities. Other experts attribute conspicuous consumption to individual insecurity. Therefore, people compete with each other for these items. Ownership of luxury goods expresses the superiority of the owner over others. Some experts argue that it is due to the competitive nature of individuals. ![]() Many theories explain why people consume conspicuously. ![]() For example, when a person is in a high position, his colleagues might suggest buying some luxury products. Thus, ownership of these products symbolizes achievement and pride.įurthermore, James Duesenberry argues that people buy goods and services to maintain their self-worth and follow the expectations of those around them. In other words, the more expensive the item, the higher the utility. On the contrary, the price of the product becomes utility itself. This is because prices are not proportional to the basic utility obtained from the consumption of goods. The wealth and luxuries of a person represent the honor and dignity in a society or community.Īlso, Veblen claims that the goods consumed by such people tend to be wasteful. Veblen argues that there is a direct relationship between a person’s property and status in society. Others believe that the things we consume and own show who we are, whether rich or ordinary. Some scholars say it is the result of capitalism, which encourages materialism as society becomes more advanced. There are many reasons why people consume just to show off. In fact, they may already own several watches. Due to prestige, you save some money so that it is enough to buy an iPhone.Īlso, some of your friends may buy luxury watches just to show off to you. ![]() Social status, prestige, or wealth are other motives for the consumption of products.įor example, when your friends use premium smartphones, such as iPhones, you may also buy them, even if you don’t have enough money. Specifically, he examines the upper classes’ consumption behavior that emerged during the second industrial revolution, which promoted their power and social prestige.Īnd, now, the concept applies to all consumers, not just high-end. He views that some consumption behavior is driven more by social factors than by rational economic factors. Thorstein Veblen introduced the term conspicuous consumption in 1899. It also raises doubts about the concept of a welfare economy based on consumers’ rational choice assumptions. However, conspicuous consumption casts doubt on such views. They consider price and income before deciding to buy a product. Consumers tend to be rational in making choices. In conventional concepts, the goal of consumption is to satisfy needs and wants (utility). ![]()

In this tutorial, we have explored compression and decompression using tarfile module, you can also use zipfile module to work with ZIP archives, bz2 module for bzip2 compressions, gzip, or zlib modules for gzip files. Downloading archive files and decompressing them.Transferring folders across the network after compressing them.Okay, we are done! You can be creative with this, here are some ideas: This will decompress the previous archive we just compressed to a new folder called extracted: If you want to decompress: decompress("", "extracted") This will compress the test.txt file and folder in the current directory to a new tar archive file called as shown in the following example figure: Note that we can alternatively use the extractall() for that (which is preferred in the official documentation). After that, I made an optional parameter 'member' in case we want to extract specific files (not all archives), if 'members' isn't specified, we gonna get all files in the archive using the getmembers() method which returns all the members of the archive as a Python list.Īnd then for each member, extract it using the extract() method which extracts a member from the archive to the 'path' directory we specified. # tar.extractall(members=members, path=path)įirst, we opened the archive file as reading with gzip compression. # set the progress description of the progress bar # add file/folder/link to the tar file (compress) Tar = tarfile.open(tar_file, mode="w:gz") Let's start by compression, the following function is responsible for compressing a file/folder or a list of files/folders: def compress(tar_file, members):Īdds files (`members`) to a tar_file and compress it Open up a new Python file and: import tarfileįrom tqdm import tqdm # pip3 install tqdm Let's get started, we will be using the tarfile built-in module, so we don't have to install anything, you can optionally install tqdm just for printing progress bars: pip3 install tqdm Related: How to Encrypt and Decrypt Files in Python. You may also want to add a compression/decompression feature in your application, or you have thousands of compressed files and you want to decompress them in one click, this tutorial can help. For example, when downloading machine learning datasets in which you want a piece of code to download, extract and load them into memory automatically. You may ask, why would I learn to compress files in Python where there are already provided tools out there? Well, de compressing files programmatically without any manual clicks is extremely useful.
