Card Catalog
==============

A dynamic and RESTful routing system for Node JS that allows you to attach and detach routes on the fly. It was designed to be used in a CMS-like environment where sites are built upon dynamic routers.

[![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/School-Yard/Card-Catalog.png?branch=master)](http://travis-ci.org/School-Yard/Card-Catalog)

**Status**: Experimental

## Overview

Card-Catalog is an opinionated framework for building a routing table. It doesn't assume anything about the server architecture and should work with Express, Flatiron, or a simple request handler.

The framework is built on the idea of a routing table being based on a collection of 1:M relationships. It uses the concepts of Categories and Cards where a top-level URI path would represent a Category and further URI paths are represented by Cards.

It can be represented using a simple RESTful example:

`http://example.com/[Category]/[Card]/[Controller]/[Model]/[Action]`

A Category will be made up of various plugin-style classes which we call Cards. Each Card will inherit from a base Card Catalog - [Card](https://github.com/School-Yard/Card-Catalog/blob/master/lib/card_catalog/card.js).

A request will flow through the catalog by first attempting to match a category slug to the request URI path. If matched it will dispatch the request to a collection of cards where it will attempt to match the rest of the URI path to a card slug. Finally, if both matches are found it will call the `route` method on the Card class.

**Category**: A top level URI path, contains an array of card objects.

**Collection**: A collection of available Card plugins.

**Card**: A individual module that contains logic for handling a request.

## Install

```bash
$ npm install cardcatalog
```

## Usage

Card-Catalog requires at least one data connection to lookup stored category definitions when the server is started. It currently only has support for [TrapperKeeper](https://github.com/School-Yard/TrapperKeeper) but it should be trivial to change this.

Card-Catalog allows for the use of Connect style middleware with a `(req, res, next)` style signature or an evented middleware like that in use on Flatiron where a `next` event is triggered on the `res` object.

A catalog instance's `dispatch` method will be used where you would otherwise use a route handler function. In a Connect/Express or Flatiron environment you will want the catalog to be the last middleware function in the stack.

*Below is an example of how to use card catalog as a route dispatcher in a simple Node.js http server.*

### Example:

```js
var trapper_keeper = require('trapperkeeper'),
    card_catalog = require('cardcatalog'),
    http = require('http'),
    DB;

// Create a data-connection, using memory for example purposes
DB = trapper_keeper.connect('memory');

// On `ready`
DB.on('ready', function() {

  // Create a new Card Catalog
  var catalog = new card_catalog.Category({
    connection: DB, // required, data connection
    namespace: 'categories', // required, a namespace to find available categories
    adapters: [ ] // optional, array of data connections available to cards
  });

  // Load the Catalog with data from data connection
  catalog.load();

  // Add Cards (Discussed Later)
  catalog.addCards({
    example_card_1,
    example_card_2
  });

  // Optional, Middleware (Accepts Connect/Express style and Flatiron style)
  catalog.before = [
    connect.bodyParser(),
    connect.methodOverride()
  ];

  // Create an HTTP server and dispatch to catalog
  http.createServer(function(req, res) {
    catalog.dispatch(req, res);
  }).listen(3000);
});
```

## Constructor

When creating a new Card Catalog you call the constructor method of `Category` which accepts the following arguments:

**connection:** *required*, A TrapperKeeper connection used to lookup stored categories.

**namespace:** *optional, defaults to `cardCatalog`*, sets the table, collection, or namespace to look up categories in. Dependent on which TrapperKeeper engine you are using.

**cards:** *optional*, Allows you to pass in a Card Collection Object when instantiating a Category.

**error_handler:** *optional*, A function to catch any error events in the request life-cycle.

**adapters:** *optional*, An object of named data connections that get passed to each card. This allows a card access to a data connection without having to know about it's properties. It also prevents cards from opening their own data connections.

```js
var card_catalog = require('cardcatalog');

var catalog = new card_catalog.Category({
  connection: conn,
  namespace: 'namespace',
  cards: new card_category.CardCollection({}),
  error_handler: function(res, status, message) {},
  adapters: { 'memory': mem_conn, 'mongo': mongo_conn }
});
```

## Categories

A Category represents a top level URI path. It will be used to form the base route structure on a Card-Catalog route table. Every route, including the root path, must be wrapped in a category.

Categories are read from a data store when the catalog is instantiated and added to an internal cache object to build the initial route table.

After the initial cache is built you can attach/detach categories dynamically by calling the `.attach()` and `.detach()` methods on a catalog. This works by manipulating a published flag on the category, which is required of each category.

#### Example Category Object

*A base category structure for a URI representing `http://example.com/foo` would look like:*

```js
var category = {
  id : 1,
  name : "Foo",    // required, Unique key value
  slug : "foo",    // required, URL encoded permalink
  plugins : [ ],   // default to empty
  index : '', // category index route, if not set only full routes will be routed
  published : true // required, True or False
};
```

#### Example Attach/Detach

*An example of how you would add/remove routes from a live app*

```js
var catalog = new card_catalog.Category({
  connection: DB,
  namespace: 'categories'
});

// Fictional event emitter
events.on('attach', function(category) {
  catalog.attach(category);
});

events.on('detach', function(category) {
  catalog.detach(category);
});
```

## Collection

A collection is a group of Card classes that are available for routing. It is built when the `addCards` method is called on a Category instance.

An internal cache is built that includes all the card objects arranged using the Card's slug as a key.

A collection functions very similar to a Category. When a request is matched on a Category the Collection's `dispatch` method is called. The method will attempt to match a Card's slug to the URI path. If a match is found it will call the `route` method of a Card.

A circular reference is added to instantiated Card in the collection under card.collection.

#### Example

```js
var catalog = new card_catalog.Category({
  connection: conn,
  namespace: namespace
});

// Load the categories from a data-store
catalog.load();

// Add Card Objects to the catalog
catalog.addCards({
  cards: [
    Card_1,
    Card_2
  ]
});
```

## Cards

A card is simply a function that inherits from the [Card](https://github.com/School-Yard/Card-Catalog/blob/master/lib/card_catalog/card.js) class. It should contain the logic for handling all child routes.

It can be created using a function that inherits from the [Card Class](https://github.com/School-Yard/Card-Catalog/blob/master/lib/card_catalog/card.js) using `util.inherits` or as an Object. Examples of both are shown below.

#### Required Options

**name:** Must be unique. *Example: `My Awesome Plugin`*

**slug:** Must be unique and url-encoded. *Example: `my-awesome-plugin`*

**router:** An object that maps routes to functions based on URI path and req.method.
```js
// Create an example routing table
this.router = {
  'get': {
    '/': index,
    '/new': form,
    '/:id': show,
    '/:id/edit': edit
  },
  'put': {
    '/:id': update
  },
  'post': {
    '/': create
  },
  'delete': {
    '/:id': destroy
  }
};
```

#### Other Options

**engine:** A template rendering engine to use. Must be an array in the form ['file extension', render_function]

Uses the `__express` method of a template rendering engine so either use a rendering engine that works out of the box with Express or use [Consolidate](https://github.com/visionmedia/consolidate.js).

```js
// Example using dust
this.engine = ['dust', consolidate.dust];
```

**templates:** An absolute path on the file system to a template directory. With the engine property and the templates property each Card can have it's own view system.

```js
// Template path
this.templates = __dirname + '/templates';
```

**set_static:** Allows a static directory to be set so any assets specific to a card will be served. Uses [node-static](https://github.com/cloudhead/node-static) behind the scenes so any valid options for node-static are accepted.

```js
this.set_static(__dirname + '/public, options);
```

### Examples

*Cards may be defined as either Functions or Objects. Examples of both are given:*

#### Object

```js
var consolidate = require('consolidate');

module.exports = {
  'name': 'Example',
  'slug': 'example',

  'engine': ['dot', consolidate.dot],
  'templates': __dirname + '/templates',

  // Objects allow an 'init' function that is called in a cards
  // constructor after the settings have been set.
  'init': function() {
    this.category = new CategoryModel({
      adapters: this.adapters
    });
  },

  'router': {
    'get': {
      '/': index,
      '/new': form,
      '/:id': show,
      '/:id/edit': edit
    },
    'put': {
      '/:id': update
    },
    'post': {
      '/': create
    },
    'delete': {
      '/:id': destroy
    }
  },

  // Add Event Listeners
  // Same as:
  // this.on('error', function(err) {});
  'events': {
    'error': function(err) {}
  },

  // Add a static directory for Card assets
  'static': __dirname + '/public'
};
```

#### Function

```js
var card_catalog = require('cardcatalog'),
    util = require('util'),
    consolidate = require('consolidate');

var Example = module.exports = function Example(options) {
  card_catalog.Card.call(this, options);

  this.name = "Example"; // Required
  this.slug = "example"; // Required

  // Set view rendering options
  this.engine = ['dust', consolidate.dust];
  this.templates = __dirname + '/templates';

  // Create a model instance passing in global data connections
  this.User = new User({
    adapters: this.adapters
  });

  this.set_static = __dirname + '/public';

  // Create the Example routing table
  this.router = {
    'get': {
      '/': index,
      '/new': form,
      '/:id': show,
      '/:id/edit': edit
    },
    'put': {
      '/:id': update
    },
    'post': {
      '/': create
    },
    'delete': {
      '/:id': destroy
    }
  };
};

util.inherits(Example, card_catalog.Card);

// Function get passed in the req and res objects
function index (req, res) {}

// If a named parameter is set the params object is set
function show (req, res, params) {
  var id = params.id;
}
```

SHREVEPORT, La. | University of Alabama wide receiver DJ Hall�s impressive assault on the school�s record book came to a conclusion Sunday night, and included a few final additions.
Hall finished the game with four catches for 58 yards.
For the season, he had 67 catches for 1,005 yards and six touchdowns, and became the first player in Crimson Tide history to record back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons.
Coming into the game he needed two receptions to tie, and three to break, Freddie Milons� single-season record of 65 set it 1999. He also needed 110 yards to break his own single-season mark of 1,056 set last year, and one touchdown to tie Dennis Homan�s career mark of 18 (1965-67).
Hall finished his career with 194 receptions for 2,923 yards, both school records. He also had at least one reception in 32 consecutive games, which dated back to the Ole Miss game on October 15, 2005.
In terms of the SEC, he finished fourth in all-time in receiving yards, and tied for seventh with Kentucky�s Anthony White in receptions. Coming in, he needed 228 yards to catch Georgia�s Terrence Edwards (3,093, 1999-2002), and was 46 receptions short of current Vanderbilt player Earl Bennett (2,692, 2005-present).
Junior quarterback John Parker Wilson set two Alabama records in the first half.
His three touchdown passes gave him 18 for the season, and snapped his own mark of 17, set last year.
Wilson also surpassed his single-season record of 2,707 yards (2006), and finished with 2,846 yards, after passing for 2,707 yards last year. His 280 yards of total offense gave him a total of 2,870 to set a new UA single-season record. Wilson set the previous mark of 2,790 yards in 2006.
Wilson and Brodie Croyle are the quarterbacks in Alabama history to have two 2,000-yard passing seasons.
Incidentally, Wilson�s record as a starter is 13-13.
With redshirt freshman running back Terry Grant still experiencing some trouble with his hip, sophomore Glen Coffee started at tailback. He sustained a shoulder injury in the fourth quarter.
Alabama came out in a three-receiver set, so Hall, senior Matt Caddell and junior Nikita Stover all started. Hall was deep on kickoffs with sophomore Javier Arenas (ankle).
Defensively, sophomore Brandon Deaderick remained the starter at defensive tackle. True freshman Rolando McClain started at linebacker and intercepted Colorado�s first pass attempt. He sustained a broken left thumb early in the game, but missed only a couple of plays and sported a cast in the second half, only to dislocate his right shoulder in the third quarter.
Senior guard Justin Britt (right ankle) limped off the field late in the first quarter and did not return. Sophomore Even Cardwell entered the game at center, and junior Antoine Caldwell slid over to left guard.
Umpire Mike Rose of the Western Athletic Conference, who was officiating his last game, injured his left rotator cuff in the second quarter and was taken to a local hospital.


All life on Earth is probably made possible by a planetary collision that created the Moon more than 4.4 billion years ago.
A new study by Rice University petrologists reveals that most of Earth's essential elements—including the carbon and nitrogen inside you—likely came from another planet.
"From the study of primitive meteorites, scientists have long known that Earth and other rocky planets in the inner Solar System are volatile-depleted," study co-author Rajdeep Dasgupta said in a statement.
In planetary science, volatiles refer to chemical elements and compounds with low boiling points—nitrogen, water, carbon dioxide, ammonia, hydrogen, methane, sulfur dioxide—associated with a planet or satellite's crust or atmosphere.
"The timing and mechanism of volatile delivery has been hotly debated," according to Dasgupta, whose lab specializes in studying geochemical reactions deep within a planet under intense heat and pressure.
"Ours is the first scenario that can explain the timing and delivery in a way that is consistent with all of the geochemical evidence," he added.
One long-standing theory, known as the "late veneer" hypothesis, says that volatile-rich meteorites—leftover chunks of primordial matter from the outer Solar System—arrived after Earth's core formed.
Through a series of experiments, however, study lead author and graduate student Damanveer Grewal challenges that idea.
"What we found is that all the evidence [is] consistent with a Moon-forming impact involving a volatile-bearing, Mars-sized planet with a sulfur-rich core," sometimes referred to at Theia, Grewal said.
Full results were published this week in the journal Science Advances.
The new paper could be useful for understanding how carbon, sulfur, and nitrogen behave within Mars—the next frontier, James Day, a Scripps Institution of Oceanography professor who was not involved in the research, told Gizmodo.
"More of these types of study are needed to understand how these elements behave, especially for planets with the mass of Earth," Day said in a statement to the tech blog.
More evidence is also needed to absolutely prove the origin of Earth's volatiles, as well as the nature of the Moon's formation.
"That means we can broaden our search for pathways that lead to volatile elements coming together on a planet to support life as we know it," he said.

When a family member is detained or deported, #immigrant families often face financial hardship, physical and emotional health consequences and new fears of engaging with public programs.
These findings show that detention or deportation has major multigenerational effects across families and the broader community. Families face severe financial hardship while at the same time they are dealing with the emotional trauma of being separated from their loved one. Loss of the family member from the home significantly disrupts children's lives and has major negative impacts on their mental and emotional health that compromise their ability to learn and perform in school and research suggests will lead to poor long-term physical and mental health outcomes. See Box 1, next page, for one family's story.


This is a beautiful picture. Thanks for posting it!
I really like the focus, it's so crisp.
Edit: I mean the dude in the boat, I can see how this comment may have come off as me being a sarcastic jerk because of the blur in the foreground and background.
Is this Kolkata? Beautiful shot!!
No in Dhaka, Thank you!

: Wonder if these designs originated with 343i or Mega bloks.
: months back, but I can't seem to find it.
Taking pictures of the two sets was prohibited, although it ended up being posted on figures.com anyways. The photo has since been taken down. As they just "officially" showed up in a sneak preview of the line this week, we haven't learned of their canon existence of yet. Even though I collect the mega bloks set, I'd rather they not make their own designs. I was hoping they wouldn't actually end up being produced after the blok community mostly panned them.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child-Paperback
The official playscript of the original West End production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn't much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband and father of three school-age children. While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places. The playscript for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was originally released as a 'special rehearsal edition' alongside the opening of Jack Thorne's play in London's West End in summer 2016. Based on an original story by J.K. Rowling, John Tiffany and Jack Thorne, the play opened to rapturous reviews from theatregoers and critics alike, while the official playscript became an immediate global bestseller. This revised paperback edition updates the 'special rehearsal edition' with the conclusive and final dialogue from the play, which has subtly changed since its rehearsals, as well as a conversation piece between director John Tiffany and writer Jack Thorne, who share stories and insights about reading playscripts. This edition also includes useful background information including the Potter family tree and a timeline of events from the wizarding world prior to the beginning of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
Whether encountered on stage or on the page, this trip back into the magical world of Hogwarts is thrilling ( The Telegraph)
Fans can breathe easy knowing this play has been respectfully and lovingly wrought. Tensions thrum, spells fly but at center stage, as always in the Potterverse, is the overriding importance of love and friendship, especially in the face of danger ( Booklist, starred review)
The Eighth Story. Nineteen Years Later.
Based on an original new story by J.K. Rowling, John Tiffany and Jack Thorne, a play by Jack Thorne.
J.K. Rowling is the author of the seven Harry Potter novels, which have sold over 450 million copies and have been translated into 79 languages and three companion books originally published for charity. She is also the author of The Casual Vacancy, a novel for adults published in 2012, and, under the pseudonym of Robert Galbraith, is the author of the Cormoran Strike crime series. J.K. Rowling is making her screenwriting debut and is a producer on the film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, a further extension of the Wizarding World, due for release in November 2016.

We specialize in the treatment of chronic pain and sports injuries.
If you don't see your condition listed, please call us at 315-935-5700.
We are international leaders in the field.
Odds are we can help you.
Many professional athletes get routine treatments to maintain peak performance and reduce the risk of injuries.
I'm an athlete. I feel pretty good. Can you still help me?
Acupuncture & Dry Needling may increase strength and flexibility, correct muscle imbalances, improve millisecond reaction time and generally improve the adaptability of the body. Many professional athletes get routine treatments to maintain peak performance and reduce the risk of injury.
We will check the stability and range of motion of your joints, strength of key muscles and ability to perform functional movement patterns. Limitations in any of these areas are often due to muscles that are weak or otherwise not firing properly. This may be due to an old injury, overtraining or other stimuli that can cause a muscle to become tight or shut down.
With sports therapies, we can "reset" these muscles. This can help restore strength, range of motion and maximize your body's ability to recover and function.
The short answer is "No." Most acupuncturists are general practitioners – meaning that they treat a little bit of everything, sort of like family doctors.
We are more like specialists. Our clinic focuses entirely on treating pain, and improving musculoskeletal function and sports performance. By deeply focusing on one area, we believe that we can give you the best care possible.
Another thing to keep in mind is that here are many systems of acupuncture. Traditional Chinese Medicine. Five Element. Dr. Tan. Master Tung. Korean. Japanese. TCM. The list goes on. Not everyone uses all of these styles.
At Orthopedic & Sports Acupuncture, we focus on neurofunctional acupuncture and dry needling – MODERN, science-based styles – which we've found are the BEST for treating most pain and sports injuries.
How is Orthopedic Acupuncture Different?
Most traditional acupuncture styles focus on needling along channels, organ lines, and other structures described by traditional Eastern philosophy. The goal is usually balancing the body, improving organ function, etc. This traditional approach is often combined with herbal medicine and works well for many chronic internal conditions.
Orthopedic Acupuncture, on the other hand, focuses directly on improving the function of the body's muscles and joints. This is the best approach for treating sports and work related injuries, "wear-and-tear," and many other painful conditions. Many orthopedic acupuncture techniques are based on modern scientific research. Orthopedic Acupuncture also borrows techniques from traditional Asian martial arts medicine.
Yes. We proudly serve our vets in the Central New York area. Contact your primary care provider at the VA and request a referral for acupuncture.
Absolutely! We specialize in Dry Needling and other orthopedic acupuncture techniques. Matthew is a leading advocate for the use of Dry Needling by acupuncturists. He regularly teaches courses in Dry Needling and sports / orthopedic acupuncture to students from all over North America and Europe.
Do you ever reuse the needles?
NEVER! Once a needle has been used once, it's done. It goes into a biohazard container and is disposed of. New packages of needles are opened for each patient.
No. All you need to do is call the office and set up an appointment. It's that simple.
The one exception is for veterans who are getting care through the VA. If you're a VA patient, you will need to talk to your doctor at the VA and have them fax us an authorization.
That depends on your condition. If you are young and coming in for a minor injury or mobility issues, you will probably see major improvement in 3-6 treatments. However, more chronic cases may take 8-12 visits.
It is best to wear comfortable, loose fitting clothing. If you are coming in for knee pain or another condition affecting the lower part of your body, it is a good idea to bring shorts with you. If you are coming in for something in your upper body, bring a tank top so that we can get to your shoulders and upper back. Avoid wearing strong smelling cologne or perfume because some of our patients have allergies and fragrances can trigger their allergies.
I usually recommend that patients apply heat to the areas where we work. You may have a slight ache after treatment that feels similar to post workout soreness. This soreness is usually lessened by applying heat or taking a warm bath to keep the muscle loose and increase blood flow. Usually, I recommend either rest or light to moderate physical activity following treatment.
Results. We specialize in treating pain, and improving musculoskeletal function, range of motion and sports performance. We successfully treat patients of all ages and skill levels, from professional athletes to weekend warriors; children to great-grandparents; office workers to law enforcement and members of the military.
We combine modern, science based acupuncture techniques, like dry needling, with orthopedic and manual muscle testing and soft tissue techniques. This lets us tailor your treatment specifically to you.
Above all, everything we do is driven toward helping you reach your health goals.
I have been a lifelong athlete, and you get used to being in pain and being sore.
After my first visit, I was amazed that my chronic hip pain and tightness was dramatically reduced.
I love the results, lasting pain reduction and increased performance right away!
Don't let the term "needle" distract you, it doesn't hurt, a very small acupuncture technique is used.
Cannot recommend highly enough. Great place!
Call Us Right Now at 315-935-5700 to Schedule Your First Appointment.
Matthew Reed, MS, L.Ac. Dipl. Ac.
As a long-time athlete and landscaper, I knew what I wanted to specialize in before I ever even applied to graduate school. I knew that I wanted to help people improve their performance and live healthy, active lives without pain. This led me to seek out the best continuing education sources that I could find and spend countless hours pouring over the scientific literature on orthopedic acupuncture while I was still a student at New York Chiropractic College. The goal was to hit the ground running, already specialized.
My studies and many teachers led me to blend trigger point dry needling with neurofunctional acupuncture. I have found that this approach produces the best results for treating most types of pain and restoring musculoskeletal function. I have used this integrated style to successfully treat patients of all ages and walks of life, from children to grandparents, office workers, weekend warriors to high-level strength athletes and members of the AHL and NHL.
I am very grateful for everything I have learned, but believe that it is too important not to share.

De Campo de' Fiori is een bekend plein in Rome. Deze piazza dankt zijn benaming niet aan de wekelijkse bloemenmarkt die er sinds de negentiende eeuw plaatsvindt, maar aan de oorspronkelijk weide in de Romeinse rione (wijk) Parione. Op het plein staat een standbeeld van Giordano Bruno, die hier in 1600 werd terechtgesteld.

De benaming van dit plein moet niet verward worden met die van een geologische formatie in Noord-Italië, het Campo dei Fiori.

Bekendheid
Het plein is onder meer bekend van een film uit 1943 Campo de' fiori, onder regie van Mario Bonnard, met Anna Magnani en Aldo Fabrizi, waarin een tekenend beeld wordt geschetst van de sfeer rondom de pittoreske en levendige markt op dit plein.

Verder speelde het plein een grote rol in het leven van kunstenaars, schrijvers en dichters uit Rome in de periode van de jaren 50 tot begin jaren 70. De schrijver Enzo Siciliano publiceerde in 1993 zijn memoires onder de titel Campo de' Fiori, waarin leven en dood van Pier Paolo Pasolini een belangrijke rol speelt.

Last-minute Accommodation
Let's say it's the last minute and you still have nothing reserved for your summer holiday in Croatia. Every place you call is booked and you're starting to panic. Don't. Take a deep breath and do the following:
Adorable little six-room boutique hotels that are in every guidebook? Forget it. Long ago booked out. Don't waste your time.
Instead bigger is better. In Croatia, that means staying in three-star hotels which are very often older hotels with hundreds of rooms. Not cute but you might find a space. More.
Do you really have to stay in Dubrovnik? If it's July and you have nothing booked, the answer is NO.
Instead hunt for spare rooms in one of the villages around Dubrovnik. More.
Use booking agencies for rooms and apartments
Forget about tracking down the perfect little gem from a dozen internet sites.
Instead try agencies with a large inventory of rooms and apartments like like booking.com. See more on private accommodation in Croatia.
Head inland for on-the-spot accommodation
Do you really need to smell the sea air? The coast and islands fill to bursting.
Instead head to the interior. Drive 30 minutes inland and you'll have a much better chance. In the Istrian interior, for example, you can be amid the rolling hills and close enough to the coast to spend the day at the beach. See more on where to go in Istria.
Just show up
But: Do not, under any circumstances, take a ferry to a Croatian island in mid-summer without a room booked. It is possible to find every single bed taken and no ferry out.
Instead rent a car and drive the coastal road looking for a sobe (rooms) sign. Hint: head towards the northern coast for a better chance at finding vacancies. See more on private accommodation in Croatia.
Try the tourist office
You could just see who approaches you with an offer of rooms but there are risks (see tips on on the spot accommodation).
Instead head straight to the tourist office. In some localities they will put you in direct contact with reputable owners. If not, they will send you to local booking agencies.

A Brief History of Haiti's Cherished Soup Joumou | Travel – Smithsonian Magazine
Every year, Haitians around the globe eat the pumpkin dish on January 1 to commemorate the liberation of the world's first free Black republic
Growing up as a Haitian American, January 1 has always been more than just the start of the new year for me. As a child, waking up on New Year's Day, I practically floated through the air to the aromas of soup joumou, or Haitian pumpkin soup, resting in one of the decorative bowls my mother reserved for the annual tradition.
Every New Year's Day, Haitians around the world consume soup joumou as a way to commemorate Haitian Independence Day. On January 1, 1804, Haitians declared independence from French colonial rule following the Haitian Revolution that began in 1791. Soup joumou is a savory, orange-tinted soup that typically consists of calabaza squash—a pumpkin-like squash native to the Caribbean—that's cooked and blended as the soup's base. To that base, cooks add beef, carrots, cabbage, noodles, potatoes and other fresh vegetables, herbs and spices.
"[Soup joumou] is freedom in every bowl," says Fred Raphael, a Haitian chef and co-owner of two Haitian restaurants in the New York City metropolitan area. "[Haitians] fought for unity, just the same way we get all these different ingredients that come together and create this taste."
Haiti, then called Saint-Domingue, formally came under French occupation in 1697 after Spain ceded the western portion of the Caribbean island of Hispaniola to France, according to Bertin Louis Jr., a cultural anthropologist at the University of Kentucky. To sustain the island's colonial economy—which predominantly centered on the production and export of crops like sugar, coffee and tobacco—French plantation owners captured and enslaved nearly 800,000 Africans as a labor source on the island. Saint-Domingue, by the early to mid-18th century, grew to be the most profitable colony in the world.
During the colonial era throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, enslaved Africans cultivated squash, the crop at the center of soup joumou. According to Louis, enslaved Africans in Saint-Domingue were prohibited from eating soup joumou, despite being the ones who prepared, cooked and served it to white French enslavers and colonizers. The soup was a symbol of status, and by banning enslaved Africans from consuming it, the French were able to assert their superiority, challenge the humanity of Black Africans, uphold white supremacy and exert colonial violence, Louis says.
Following the nearly 13-year struggle of the Haitian Revolution led by revolutionaries like Toussaint L'Ouverture, Jean-Jacques Dessalines and Henri Christophe, Haitians declared independence from French control and celebrated their liberation by eating soup joumou. It is said that on January 1, 1804, Marie-Claire Heureuse Félicité Bonheur Dessalines, the first empress of Haiti and Jean-Jacques Dessalines' wife, distributed the soup to freed Haitians. Over two centuries later, the tradition of eating the decadent soup continues in celebration of a large-scale slave revolt that created the world's first free Black republic.
"The soup represents the claiming and reconfiguration of a colonial dish into an anti-colonial symbol of resistance and also Black freedom, specifically Haitian freedom," Louis says.
For chef and restaurateur Raphael, it was a no-brainer to include soup joumou on the menus at both of the restaurants he co-owns—First Republic Lounge and Restaurant in Elizabeth, New Jersey, and Rebèl Restaurant and Bar in New York's Lower East Side. "You don't have a Haitian restaurant if you don't make soup joumou," he says. In the near-decade since First Republic Lounge and Restaurant opened—Rebèl Restaurant and Bar opened several years later, in 2020—Raphael has made it a tradition to create a space for Haitian and non-Haitian community members to come together and enjoy the dish.
"We make it a practice in both restaurants to give [soup joumou] away for free the night of December 31 as we bring in the new year," Raphael says. "We usually make a pot of vegetarian soup with no meat, and then there's another pot with meat, and anyone can come in and enjoy that."
Combined, the restaurants usually see a turnout of about 300 to 500 guests. Raphael and his colleagues spend days preparing for the event, which begins in the evening of New Year's Eve and goes until the early morning hours of New Year's Day. For Raphael, the soup presents an opportunity to educate people and bridge cultural gaps, whether that is non-Haitians trying the soup and learning the history behind it or Haitian Americans who have never been to Haiti or haven't been back in years feeling more connected to the island. "We make sure that [soup joumou] is served properly, because we want you to see the pride in making this," Raphael says. "It's sweat and tears, and a lot of folks have died to ensure that we have the freedom we have today."
Nadege Fleurimond, a Haitian chef, restaurateur and cookbook author, says soup joumou reminds her of the importance of cultural heritage, family and community. She recalls growing up in Brooklyn, New York, with her dad and helping him prepare the soup, but also visiting the homes of other family members and friends and trying their versions. "There's a soup that's made in your house, there's also people bringing you soup because they're visiting you, or you may be visiting someone," says Fleurimond, who owns the Haitian restaurant BunNan in Brooklyn. "Soups vary from family to family, from household to household, but the thing I remember is how this was the day that everyone came together because you wanted to celebrate, you wanted to unite in this legacy of our ancestors."
When it comes to preparation, Fleurimond says she used to think making soup joumou took days when she was a child. She remembers family members first chopping up vegetables and getting ingredients together. In hindsight, she realizes the process took so long because her family members were making large pots of soup, but also because the communal aspect of the dish went beyond just eating it together. She recalls her aunts in the kitchen talking about everything and nothing as they prepared the soup and cut vegetables. "It was an opportunity to congregate, so things took a little longer," Fleurimond says. The actual cooking of the soup takes around two hours.
Once the soup is ready, it's typically eaten as breakfast, lunch and dinner on New Year's Day and consumed into the next day as part of Ancestors' Day—a holiday honoring Haitian revolutionaries—on January 2. In the 219 years since Haiti declared independence, soup joumou has gone through various changes, with different families in different regions in Haiti and around the world putting their own twists on the dish. For example, modern versions of the soup typically include pasta like rigatoni or penne, but it's unlikely that was a core part of the soup back in the 1800s, Raphael says.
With the rise of social media, Fleurimond says people can easily share recipes and pictures of their versions of soup joumou, and she's seen many online debates about the "right way" to make it. Some people say soup joumou is only soup joumou if it has meat in it—though it's said the original version was vegetarian. People also argue about the correct pasta and vegetables to put in the soup, but Fleurimond sees the debates as comical and ultimately arbitrary. "Yes, there's a base, but at the end of the day, [soup joumou] does vary from region to region and household to household, because people use what ingredients they have access to," she says. For both Fleurimond and Raphael (and myself), the soup is usually paired with a side of Haitian bread, a hard dough bread with a chewy texture, at family gatherings.
Amid ongoing social and political crises in Haiti, Raphael says the message and history behind soup joumou matter more than ever. Historians and scholars have connected many of Haiti's plights in the decades following its liberation, as well as difficulties faced in recent years, to the fact that foreign powers went on to exploit and drain the island's wealth for generations after the country overthrew slavery and declared independence in 1804. After Haiti broke free from French rule, its government was forced to pay former French slaveholders and their descendants about $560 million in today's dollars over the course of 64 years—money that would have amounted to $21 billion if it remained in Haiti's economy.
Today, Haiti struggles with gang violence, a cholera outbreak, poverty, acute hunger and continued foreign intervention attempts opposed by many Haitians. As a result of these issues, many have immigrated, moved out of and fled the country in recent decades and years, with Haitians now spanning the globe. Fleurimond says soup joumou allows Haitians around the world to come together and celebrate a common history.
"We need a revolution in Haiti right now because of what's going on in terms of political and social turmoil," Fleurimond says. "Whenever January 1 comes around, [Haitians] have this one anchor point of the soup. It reminds us of what we've done, what's still possible if we do come together and also that sense of community that's authentically felt. It's more than just the household that's making the soup—it also spreads to everyone in your community making the soup, and every Haitian in the world that is making this soup. This just shows we really are one."

UK given 'listed status' by EU to continue exporting animal products
David Hughes, PA Political Editor
Exports of meat, fish and dairy products to the European Union will be able to continue beyond January 1 after the United Kingdom was granted "national listed status".
The measure means live animals and products of animal origin can be supplied to the EU after Brussels confirmed the UK met health and biosecurity standards.
The EU has also agreed to the exports of many plants and plant products can continue being exported to the bloc and Northern Ireland.
But seed potatoes – an important Scottish export – will be banned, leading Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon to condemn the "disastrous" outcome.
This is a disastrous Brexit outcome for Scottish farmers…and like all other aspects of Brexit, foisted on Scotland against our will. https://t.co/jWruc1RL46
— Nicola Sturgeon (@NicolaSturgeon) December 24, 2020
UK chief veterinary officer Christine Middlemiss said: "Third country listed status demonstrates our very high standards of biosecurity and animal health which we will continue to maintain after the end of the transition period."
Businesses in the £5 billion animal export market will face some red tape in order to continue exporting, including the need for a health certificate.
While potatoes destined for European dinner plates can continue to be exported, those used as seed crops cannot be.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said it will not be possible to export seed potatoes to the EU or Northern Ireland from January 1 but officials were working with the European Commission on the issue.
Ms Sturgeon said it was a "disastrous Brexit outcome for Scottish farmers" and "like all other aspects of Brexit, foisted on Scotland against our will".
Exclusive: Five million over-70s to start receiving Covid jab invitations
People aged 70 and over are expected to begin receiving coronavirus vaccinations as soon as next week as the Government ramps up its inoculations programme, The Telegraph can disclose. With 90 per cent of the over-80s now vaccinated in some areas and 3.2 million doses administered in total, ministers are preparing to give the green light to the next age categories getting the jab. Letters inviting the over-70s to book vaccinations are set to arrive on doormats early next week, meaning the first appointments would be possible before next weekend, it is understood. Ministers are on course to deliver the two million doses a week they promised by the end of January with a further 316,694 announced on Friday, adding up to a total of 3.23 million. However, the pipeline of vaccine deliveries was thrown into doubt after Pfizer announced "reductions" in weekly shipments of around a million doses at the end of this month. Speaking at a Downing Street press conference on Friday, Boris Johnson said: "With almost 45 per cent of our over-80s now vaccinated and almost 40 per cent of care home residents, we are steadily protecting those most at risk. "And I pay particular tribute to the vaccination efforts going on in Cockermouth in Cumbria, Yateley and Cheltenham, where they have vaccinated around 90 per cent of their over-80s in their communities."

This chart shows the near gold futures contact basis and cobasis against the US dollar's price in milligrams of gold.
The basis is a measure of the per annum return from carrying gold and is an indicator of abundance (the market would only offer a profit to arbitrageurs to stockpile gold if there was excess supply relative to demand). The cobasis is a measure of the per annum return from decarrying gold and is an indicator of scarity (the market would only offer a profit to arbitrageurs to sell gold from their stocks if there was a deficiency of supply relative to demand).
This chart should be read in conjunction with the Gold Carry/Decarry (near contract) chart (that shows the actual dollar per ounce profit/loss) as small dollar values that may not be worth arbitraging can produce larger basis/cobasis percentage as the days to expiry of a contract falls.

The second half of the fourth century CE was an important period of change for Roman society. Emperors, with one exception, were Christian and openly supporting the growth of the Christian church to the point that Christianity would be proclaimed the official religion of the empire before the end of the century. With the ongoing Christianization of the Roman Empire came the rise of bishops, whose power and authority within the church and in larger society increased to a level in society that no pagan priest had ever experienced. This book examines the life and work of two of the more important bishops of the era, Damasus, bishop of Rome (366-384) and Ambrose, bishop of Milan (374-397). Although the focus of this study is on the two bishops' promotion of the cult of the saints in their respective cities, the study is actually somewhat broader than the title suggests.
Chapter 1 provides biographies of the two men, whose bishoprics overlapped each other for a decade. Damasus was the son of a priest who rose through the ranks of the church to become bishop of Rome in a disputed election that pitted schismatic factions supporting rivals. The matter was settled only after a pair of bloody massacres of his foes secured the position for Damasus. Ambrose came from a privileged, secular life; his father had been a praetorian prefect and he himself was serving as governor of Aemelia and Liguria when elected bishop at Milan, which was also going through its own schismatic strife before and during his episcopate.
Chapter 2 introduces the reader to the "Christian Topographies" of the two cities. Neither bishop was a prolific builder. Damasus built the Titulus Damasi, the first Christian church in the Campus Martius, two cemetery churches and a baptistery at St. Peter's. He also had the Titulus Anastasiae decorated with frescoes. What separated Damasus from other fourth-century bishops of Rome was his attention to the tombs of the saints buried in the suburbs of Rome. Keeping the burials intact and leaving their access as it had been before, Damasus honored the saints by having simple architectural frames erected around their tombs, making them stand out from surrounding tombs in the catacombs and making them easier to find. The embellishment included verse inscriptions extolling the virtues and deeds of the saints, written by Damasus himself.
Ambrose can be securely linked with only two churches, but both were larger buildings more closely related to churches built by emperors. The Basilica Apostolorum, located on a colonnaded street just outside the city walls, was built on a cruciform plan, likely in imitation of the cruciform church of the Apostles that Constantius II had added to his father's earlier structure in Constantinople. His other church was built in a cemetery on the other side of the city and was named after himself, the Basilica Ambrosiana, where eventually he would find his last resting place. Several other early Christian churches and the baptistery at Milan have been assigned to Ambrose, which would have constituted a rather extensive building program and Christianization of the city. Lox, like others before him, concludes that there is no clear evidence for those attributions.
Both bishops authored epigrams for their works and sometimes for buildings already standing, and these are the subject of Chapter 3. Löx discusses the similarities between the work of the two authors and the role of inscriptions in authenticating the tombs of martyrs, in which Damasus was much more active. Ambrose wrote epigrams that explained the meaning of the buildings in which they were found—the form of his Basilica Apostolorum was a cross, which he calls a trophy and symbol of Christ's victory.
The roles of Ambrose and Damasus in finding the tombs of saints is explored in Chapter 4. Damasus embellished such tombs, but left their burials undisturbed. Ambrose, on the other hand, ordered that the newly discovered remains of Sts. Gervasius and Protasius be removed from their tombs and reburied under the altar of his Ambrosiana church. He also had the remains of St Nazarus moved to his Basilica Apostolorum and buried in its apse. These were extraordinary deeds; under Roman law, tombs were inviolate and the emperor Constantius had reiterated that fact with an updating to specify that the tombs of martyrs were not to be disturbed either. The only earlier translations of relics had occurred under direct orders of an emperor; Ambrose usurped that prerogative and opened the door for other bishops and clergy who followed to do the same.
Chapter 5 discusses the burials of the bishops and assesses their deeds. Damasus was buried in an as yet unidentified funerary basilica in the suburbs of Rome. Löx ties his promotion of the cult of saints and his focus on the tombs of martyrs to the bishop's claims of Roman primacy. I do not know that this conclusion is warranted by the circumstances or by the facts. It could be said that Damasus was perhaps more interested in establishing his own legitimacy after the violent events at the beginning of his episcopate; it could also be that growing up in a religious family in an era not far removed from the last persecution, Damasus was simply devoted to these Christian heroes and was in a position to honor their burials. In contrast, Ambrose sought to guarantee his memory by planning a burial in the large church he built, under the altar and with the saints whose remains he had put there.
Dr. Löx has produced a book that brings a lot of information together and makes important contributions to our understanding of the Christianization of Roman society, the growing power of Christian bishops, and the formalization of the cult of the saints. Whereas previous scholarship has been focused on particular aspects of the careers of these bishops, their patronage or their writings, or the poetry of their epigrams, Löx uses a holistic approach to tie their deeds together in a way that allows the reader a clear view of each man's overall contributions and the motivations behind them. If there is something missing, it is that the work of other contemporary bishops is not examined to provide an even wider context. Löx focuses on two of the more important and interesting bishops of Late Antiquity but it would be both interesting and helpful to see some comparison with the bishops of other Christian centers at Constantinople, Antioch, Alexandria and Jerusalem. Paulinus of Nola, also engaged in the promotion of the cult of saints in his city at the end of the fourth century, is briefly mentioned, but could easily be brought into the discussion at the heart of the book. Nevertheless, Professor Löx has made a good start in the reassessment of the role of bishops with his choice of Damasus and Ambrose.
The book is very well researched, written, and illustrated and is nicely produced by Reichert. It will be an important resource for anyone interested in these two men, the cult of saints, or the large issues of Christianity and its art and architecture of the second half of the fourth century.

They had two cubs in 2003, Rama and Kwan Jai — the first time clouded leopards were born in Tacoma. The cubs were featured on Animal Planet's "That's My Baby" series.
Raja died in 2013.
"Truly, without her and Raja, we never would have become leaders in clouded leopard care, breeding and conservation," said Karen Povey, the zoo's conservation engagement manager, who also directs the Clouded Leopard Project. "It was because we were so smitten with their personalities and the lack of public awareness about cloudies that we became committed to taking action for them."
Josie was the oldest female clouded leopard in North American zoos, but keepers said she did not act like a senior.
"She was a wonderful cat to take care of, and, up until the last few weeks, she always acted younger than her years," said Maureen O'Keefe, a senior staff biologist who worked with Josie for 18 years.
In recent years, Josie lived behind the scenes at Wild Wonders Outdoor Theater, and workers built a special ramp to help the clouded leopard climb up the high branches in her enclosure.
Josie loved vanilla ice cream and shoulder scratches.
Eight clouded leopards live at Point Defiance Zoo. Two appear in the theater's live animal shows, and the other six can be found in the Cats of the Canopy area in the Asian Forest Sanctuary.

Death notices for July 19, 2019


Over the weekend, we went to my parent's house to visit our new puppy, Milou. Isn't she precious?
She'll be coming to her new home in mid-May, so in the mean time, we'll keep visiting when we can. The benefit of visiting her is that we get to spend time with my parents. This generally means playing cards and having a few cocktails. Always a great time!
Since we went over for dinner, I wanted to bring a dessert to share. Thankfully, my freezer holds many treasures, two of them being strawberries and rhubarb. We can never seem to go through one of the big tubs from Costco, but the price is basically the same for the larger container as it is at the regular grocery store, so why wouldn't I buy it from Costco?Because it's wasteful? Nope. I just freeze the extras so I can use them for times like these.
You can also easily make this in on 8″x 8″ pan if you don't want to use individual ramekins. My mom absolutely loved these. She had two in one night! While it seems like a large rhubarb to strawberry ratio, the strawberries and sugar make the dessert a perfect balance of sweet and tart.
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a food processor, pulse the almonds until finely ground. Add flour, sugar and salt. Pulse until incorporated. Add butter and pulse until butter is dispersed in walnut-sized pieces throughout. Set aside.
2. Mix rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest and lemon juice in a large bowl. Evenly divide among 4 4-inch ramekins. Sprinkle about 2 tbsp. of almond crumble over each and place in oven. Bake until filling bubbles and the topping is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes.
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine heaving whipping cream and confectioners sugar and whisk until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Top each ramekin with a dollop of cream and serve.


paper askew studio: 2 Sketches 4 You "Rooster Friend"
Here is the card I made using Kazan's sketch from 2 Sketches 4 You. The rooster used to be a pin, but was broken so I got it for free at a garage sale this weekend. SWEET, free is always good and rather than throw it in the trash why not go green and use him on a card. The flowers, eyelets and DP is from Eye-Lets Etc. I made the button out of DP and a 1 inch circle punch. It has about 5 layers of card stock glued layer by layer behind it to make it about as thick as a button. This way I was able to thread ribbon through it without tearing the paper. The white border I made with white card stock punching a row of 3/4" circles and then 1/2" circles. I tried to make it look like chicken wire, maybe silver CS would look a little better??? I don't know, maybe its ok?? I used my Sakura white and gray souffle pens to do faux stitching and as the edging around the piece that says friend. LOVE my souffle pens!
WHAT A SUPER SWEET CARD PAM! LOVE THE BORDER PAPER YOU DID WITH THE CIRCLE PUNCH, I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY WHAT GORGEOUS POLKA DOTTED PAPER: GENIUS! LOVE IT!!

It provides in clear terms, what is expected by WAEC as a body in preparing pupils for Physical and Health Education in their Junior West African Junior Secondary School Certificate Examination (WAJSSCE).
Ideally, the scheme of work for Physical and Health Education JSS 2 first term, is a continuation from the scheme of work for Physical and Health Education (PHE) in JSS 1 third term, the scheme of work otherwise known as Curriculum has been systematically arranged for ease of progression and proper understanding for students in JSS 2. There has to be a flow, that is, a continuation from the previous class in order for students to better understand the subject.
Inline with the directive from the ministry of education, it is adamant that all Junior secondary schools in Nigeria operate using the same scheme of work whether it is a private secondary school or public (government owned) junior secondary school. The ministry of education in order to align with the demands of WAEC as a body, makes compulsory the submission of the government approved scheme of work for all subjects offered in Junior and senior secondary school as parts of the requirements for approving the operation or license to run a secondary school in Nigeria.
What a scheme of work is? Simply, a scheme of work is defined as a guideline that defines the contents and structure of academic subjects. The scheme of work for secondary schools in Nigeria, whether Junior or Senior secondary school, maps out in clear terms, how the topics and subtopics for a particular subject, group works and practicals, discussions and assessment strategies, tests, quizzes, homework and even up to midterm breaks for the academic session ought to be structured in order to fit in perfectly, the approved academic activities for the session.
To further emphasize the importance of this document, the scheme of work is the complete guide on all academic activities enforced by the Federal government of Nigeria through the ministry of education on all Junior secondary schools in Nigeria as it relates not just to the subjects but the academic session as a whole. It is used to ensure that the learning purposes, aims and objectives of the subject meant for that class are successfully achieved.

For example, the scheme of work for PHE JSS 2 (Junior Secondary School two) is the same for both private and public secondary schools in Nigeria, that is, the scheme of work for a private school is the same with that of public or government owned secondary schools, principals and teachers in secondary schools in Nigeria are to adhere to the approved scheme of work as mandated by the ministry of education as a move against this could spell sanctions from the government.
The importance of this subject cannot be overemphasized, this is one of the few courses that is offered from Primary school to the university level. Physical and Health Education (P.H.E) is one of the most interesting subjects because it applies to real life activities, teaches you on important daily diets and recommended exercise for various parts of the body for keeping fit. The scheme of work provided here would go a long way in not just helping the teachers in carefully breaking down the subject, topics and subtopics but also, devise more practical ways of imparting the practical knowledge on the students since P.H.E is a mixture of theory and practical, indoor and outdoor activities.

Q: JAXB : How to add attributes to an inner element I have the below XML that I want to read. Using JAXB on java 1.6, how do I annotate for the attribute regex ? Can I have the field to be of type boolean ?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

 <authStore>
  <authList>
       <auth>
         <resource>res1</resource>
         <privilege regex = "true">PRIV_FILE_.+?_READ</privilege>
       </auth>
       <auth>
         <resource>res2</resource>
         <privilege>PRIV_FILE_READ</privilege>
       </auth>
</authStore>

UPDATE : Is it possible to make the attribute optional ? If yes, when I unmarshal, will I get regex field to be false when a privilege element does not have the optional attribute regex ?
UDPATE2 : I don't want to define separate classes for resource and privilege. Also, I don't want to use MOXy. Pls. suggest solution for sun/oracle JDK 1.6 JAXB only.
UPDATE3 : My current object model is something like this
// AuthStore.java
@XmlRootElement
public class AuthStore {

    @XmlElementWrapper(name = "authList")
    @XmlElement(name = "auth")
    private ArrayList<Auth> authList;

    public void setAuthList(ArrayList<Auth> authList) {
        this.authList = authList;
    }

    public ArrayList<Auth> getAuthsList() {
        return authList;
    }
}

// Auth.java
@XmlRootElement(name = "auth")
@XmlType(propOrder = { "resource", "privilege" })
public class Auth
{
    private String resource;
    private String privilege;

    @XmlElement(name = "resource")
    public String getResource()
    {
        return resource;
    }

    public void setResource(String resource)
    {
        this.resource = resource;
    }

    @XmlElement(name = "privilege")
    public String getPrivilege()
    {
        return privilege;
    }

    public void setPrivilege(String author)
    {
        this.privilege = author;
    }
}

A: Because privilege contains an attribute (It's actually complex type), you must create a class to hold both the value and the attribute:
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.util.List;

import javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext;
import javax.xml.bind.Unmarshaller;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlAttribute;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlElement;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlElementWrapper;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlValue;

@XmlRootElement(name = "authStore")
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccesssType.FIELD)
public class AuthStore {
    public static void main(String []args) throws Exception {
        InputStream inputStream = AuthStore.class.getResourceAsStream("test.xml");
        JAXBContext jaxbContext = JAXBContext.newInstance(AuthStore.class);
        Unmarshaller unmarshaller = jaxbContext.createUnmarshaller();
        AuthStore authStore = (AuthStore)unmarshaller.unmarshal(inputStream);

        System.out.println(authStore.getAuthList().get(0).getResource());
        System.out.println(authStore.getAuthList().get(0).getPrivilege().getRegex());
        System.out.println(authStore.getAuthList().get(0).getPrivilege().getValue());
    }

    @XmlElementWrapper(name = "authList")
    @XmlElement(name = "auth")
    private List<Auth> authList;

    public List<Auth> getAuthList() {
        return authList;
    }

    @XmlAccessorType(XmlAccesssType.FIELD)
    public static class Auth {
        @XmlElement(name = "resource")
        private String resource;
        @XmlElement(name = "privilege")
        private Privilege privilege;

        public String getResource() {
            return resource;
        }

        public Privilege getPrivilege() {
            return privilege;
        }

        @XmlAccessorType(XmlAccesssType.FIELD)
            public static class Privilege {
            @XmlAttribute(name = "regex")
            private Boolean regex;
            @XmlValue
            private String value;

            public Boolean getRegex() {
                return regex;
            }

            public String getValue() {
                return value;
            }
        }
    }
}

Man who shot, killed Palmyra boy asks to perform at venues serving alcohol
Experts have warned against allowing Todd Curry to make appearances at places where alcohol is consumed.
Todd Curry breaks down on Oct. 21, 2015, after brief testimony during a hearing in Somerset County Superior Court in Skowhegan. Curry was found not criminally responsible in the 2006 death of Anthony Tucker. Seated beside Curry is his attorney, Janet Mills, who now is Maine's governor. Morning Sentinel photo by David Leaming
AUGUSTA — A man found not criminally responsible for the 2006 shooting death of a 13-year-old Palmyra boy and committed to state custody wants to be allowed to perform his stand-up comedy routine in bars, move to southern Maine and be allowed to travel, unsupervised, statewide.
Todd Curry, who shot and killed 13-year-old Anthony Tucker, the son of his then-girlfriend, with a rifle outside their Palmyra home while suffering from psychosis Nov. 28, 2006, petitioned the courts to expand his privileges. Among them is a request to be allowed to perform stand-up comedy at locations where alcohol is served.
State officials warned Justice Joyce Wheeler that if she were to approve that request, it could result in a potentially disastrous situation if an audience member, particularly one under the influence of alcohol, were to discover that Curry, who performs comedy under a stage name, had killed a child.
"Mr. Curry is a person who killed a 13-year-old boy, and the risk to him, and impression it'd convey to others, (drunken) others, who might very easily learn who he is and that he was found not criminally responsible, I think could lead to a disastrous situation for him," testified Dr. Ann LeBlanc, former director of the State Forensic Service who is now doing contract work for the service. "Should he be doing stand-up comedy and people figure out who he is, I don't think he could handle it very well."
Curry, who has done stand-up comedy since 1992, said he's performed at the LINC Club, which is a peer support club in Augusta, and a sandwich shop in Augusta where he said performing was difficult. He said he wants to be able to perform his act in locations where alcohol is served, such as bars, where he thinks he'd get a better reception.
"It's hard to connect with an audience that hasn't had a couple of drinks," Curry said Friday on the witness stand at the Capital Judicial Center in Augusta.
Wheeler did not rule Friday on Curry's petition for an expansion of privileges, instead taking time to consider the requests before ruling.
Curry is living in an unsupervised apartment in the Augusta area and working at a hardware store in the city. He also is seeking to be allowed to travel statewide, to buy a home and move to southern Maine in part to be closer to his father, to be able to take passengers in his van without them being vetted by his treatment team, and to be allowed to go kayaking outside of the Augusta area without being required to check in before and after his paddles.
He currently is required to check in with his outpatient treatment team at least five times each week, three of them face-to-face and two by phone, and comply with a curfew that restricts how much time he can spend outside of his residence, and those conditions would remain in place if his request for expanded privileges were granted.
Members of his outpatient treatment team at Riverview Psychiatric Center recommended against allowing him to move too far away from Augusta, where the half-dozen members of his treatment team are based, but did recommend he be allowed to purchase and move to his own home as long as it is within 50 miles of Augusta.
Those committed to state custody after being found not criminally responsible for crimes must petition the court when seeking changes in the conditions under which they are held.
Assistant Attorney General Laura Yustak said Tucker's family opposes the proposed expansions of Curry's privileges.
A protection order, a 15-year extension of a previous protection order obtained by the victim's mother, that bans Curry from any contact with the mother or her daughter, and from being in Waterville other than passing through it on Interstate 95, remains in place.
Curry said if his request to be allowed to travel statewide is granted, he still would abide by the terms of that protection order.
He said the requirement that any potential passengers who might travel with him in his vehicle be screened by his treatment team before they can go with him makes people uncomfortable and afraid of him.
He said he wants to move to the Buxton area to be closer to his father, who lives in Saco. He said he also thinks it is important for him to move a longer distance away from Tucker's mother.
Curry wiped his eyes with a tissue after Yustak clarified that the woman was the mother of the boy he killed.
Curry currently is diagnosed with a personality change that previously was diagnosed as bipolar disorder, and he suffered a traumatic brain injury in a traffic accident when he was a teenager. He also has a history of psychosis and depression, as well as cannabis and alcohol use in remission. He is not prescribed any psychiatric medications now, according to Dr. Carolyn Criss, a Riverview Outpatient Services psychiatrist.
Andree Wright, Curry's caseworker, said Curry is extremely reliable in keeping his appointments, has up to 12 hours of unsupervised time in the community now, is a reliable and well-liked employee at his job and has made excellent progress in his treatment program; and those who monitor him are "really confident in his responsibility and reliability, and we feel like he's ready to continue to progress through the system."
Also Friday, Wheeler granted an expansion of privileges to Charles Miles, who was found not criminally responsible for a 1999 fire that destroyed the Skowhegan State Fairgrounds. He was convicted later of damaging property and terrorizing staff members at Riverview.
Miles petitioned for, and was granted, permission to move from a supervised apartment to an independent apartment in the Augusta area, with conditions including that he comply with a curfew, have a working cellphone, have any visitors vetted by his treatment team, continue to have visits from his treatment team at least twice a week at his apartment, be tested for drugs and alcohol, and follow his individual service and living plans.
Dr. Lorraine Zamudio, a psychologist with Riverview Outpatient Services, said Miles has made remarkable progress in remaining in control of his behavior, follows the rules and has done well in his treatment. She said the treatment team has found Miles actually does better with a less intense level of supervision, in part because some staff members took an unnecessarily authoritarian approach with him that he found frustrating.
LeBlanc, the former State Forensic Service director, said Miles, who grew up in a neglectful environment, suffered a head injury as a toddler, didn't learn many of the skills needed to live as an adult and has been institutionalized most of his life. She said he has shown he is able to deal successfully with other patients who have harassed him, has established relationships with friends and has learned to deal with adversity without harming himself or damaging property.
