Q: spring (data, mvc, security) dependencies : IncompatibleClassChangeError I have a problem with spring dependencies that I can not solve.
I use the latest versions of spring (web mvc ...), spring security and spring data.
When i compile my project with maven, I have a successful build, but when I start tomcat, I get the following error:
Caused by: java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError: class org.springframework.core.type.classreading.ClassMetadataReadingVisitor has interface org.springframework.asm.ClassVisitor as super class

I always have the same error.
Thanks for your replies.

A: Instead of doing all the, duplicate, exclusions use a <dependencyManagement> block Documentation. That forces the use of specific versions of a library.

Sony Pictures Animation – The Reinvention
A New Way of Distribution

A once unheralded studio, Sony Pictures Animations is quickly revolutionizing the animated subsect of film through their unique storytelling and innovative distribution. 2018 saw the release of the high flying 'Spider-man: Into the Spiderverse' which, immediately upon release, was lauded as a masterpiece of Western animation and would revolutionize how artists use the medium thereafter. This success was just the first step to the studio's plan for market domination through a creative new style instilled within the companies business model and offerings, alike.

The year is 1993; The film 'Striking Distance' starring Bruce Willis has just been released. This moment in time represents Sony's first foray into animation through their newly minted off-shoot company Sony Pictures Imageworks. This was a tiny company of just five employees specializing in building complex sequences and backdrops through computer imaging to aid live-action films. The company would go on to prove very successful finding increasing demand for work with each passing film they supplied animation for. Through 1994-1999, Imageworks was credited for visual effects in huge critical and financial draws, 'Speed', 'Die Hard With A Vengeance', 'Starship Troopers', and 'Stuart Little' amongst dozens of other films. Only after the release of the aforementioned 'Stuart Little' would Sony truly delve into the world of animation.
With the release of 'Stuart Little 2' coinciding perfectly with the releases of Dreamworks' 'Shrek' and Pixar's 'Monsters, Inc.,' Sony felt it was the perfect opportunity to dive head-first into animation. Fast forward to 2002 and Imageworks has been left in the shadow of the newest addition to the Sony conglomerate, Sony Pictures Animation.
SPA, as it is commonly referred to, has become one of the most widely distributed animation studios in the history of the medium, putting out dozens of films and creating six original franchises. On the studio's first birthday, May 9th, 2003, their first-ever upcoming release slate would be announced. 'Open Season', 'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs' and 'Surfs Up' would all be coming to a theater near you.

Sony Pictures Imageworks are the actual animators, those beautiful few capable of sculpting life through the screen of a computer. They are the people responsible for the actual images we see on screen and Sony Pictures Animation is the business side. SPA becomes responsible for the transactions of IP, the upcoming slates, anything monetarily linking Imageworks to their parent company, Sony. In this understanding of the balance of power between the two sister companies, it is clear that they are largely reliant on each other for success. Without one, the other has no chance of survival.
It's interesting to see the success, or lack thereof, that the new era of SPA ushered in. The company never lived up to the heights of their greatest competitors Pixar and Dreamworks, instead, garnering a reputation as the crude substandard competition. Although some of their films would go on to be critical or financial successes, they failed to ever put two and two together and create something groundbreaking.
Instead, three sequels of 'Open Season' were made, three sequels to 'Hotel Transylvania' were made and two sequels of 'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs' and 'Smurfs' were made. It is clear to see that there was some level of disconnect between the two studios resulting in some bizarre, capitalist idea of animated films being made instead of actual attempts at telling a story. Out of the Studios theatrical releases, seven have been sequels and only 13 have been original concepts.

This questionable approach to production led to SPA having a terrible reputation and audiences denigrating their productions to the bargain bin of animated works. These were some of the darkest years in the history of Sony Pictures as the company failed to generate any semblance of a cult-like fan base that is so common amongst franchises like 'Toy Story' or 'Shrek.' This was a period of needed growth for SPA, growth that any company must undergo on its mission towards market domination. Some companies undergo this transformation more gracefully than others, but making it through is all that matters. It was only after their image fell to unprecedented lows that the studio began to reassess how they went about conceiving and producing films, but adjust they did.
December 14, 2018; the Sony Animation renaissance officially begins. On this date in history 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse' would release to an unparalleled level of fanfare and acclaim. The film has widely been discussed and labeled a modern masterpiece and, within a year of its release, became the highest-grossing Sony Animation film of all time. Finally, Sony had achieved critical and financial success and, unsurprisingly, it came in the form of their most interesting and creative production to date. This was only the first step in a long process of revitalizing the tired studio. The glimpse at the potential when both sister companies align in their mission with a more cohesive and healthy outlook for success.

Since the release of 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse' SPA has slated a number of upcoming productions, including a sequel to the transcendent Spider-Man property. Alongside the upcoming sequel are an assortment of films focused on unique and diverse locations and themes featuring the Chinese inspired 'Wish Dragon' and the Cuban story of immigration with Lin-Manuel Miranda's 'Vivo.' This commitment to interesting, fresh ideas paired with competent and recognizable names is a recipe for success. This formula has already begun to bear fruit, as well, with the success of 'The Mitchell's vs. The Machine's.' The film uses hints of technical aspects used in 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse' to add personal flair to the visuals, making for a fun and engrossing watch.
To quote acclaimed film reviewer Mark Kermode, an animated film is at its best when, "…it plays to a wide range of ages. The kids are entranced by exciting visuals and the story and the adults are full of tears for the fact that, in the end, the film is about them and their relationship with their children." This truth is largely applicable to the fantastic 'The Mitchell's vs. The Machine's,' I found myself in literal tears several times, some from the sheer emotion portrayed and some from the comedy that had me laughing out loud.
The upcoming productions 'Wish Dragon' and 'Vivo' bring some heavy hitting and massively successful names on board, giving them a bit more pre-release credibility than they would usually be afforded. Jackie Chan and Lin-Manuel Miranda have signed on to produce the respective films, instantly donating a vote of confidence. With respect to the former, Chan will be starring in 'Wish Dragon' – the Chinese language version but will be replaced in the English version by John Cho.
The former, Miranda, who is most famous for creating and starring in the broadway iterations of In The Heights and Hamilton, will also write and perform original music for the film, 'Vivo,' alongside his role as producer. Collaborating with accomplished, multifaceted artists like Miranda and Chan is a great step towards creating genuinely interesting and fulfilling films.

Following the absolutely massive success of 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse' on Netflix, it quickly became apparent that it was no longer necessary for animated films to debut in theaters in order to be successful. Streaming has revolutionized everything about cinema, and with the help of the pandemic, it is becoming progressively more viable option for distribution. Sony has taken advantage of this, selling the rights to 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse', 'The Mitchell's vs. The Machine's' and the upcoming 'Vivo' and 'Wish Dragon' exclusively to Netflix. It appears as though Netflix has worked out some kind of exclusivity deal with SPA to premiere their films on the most-used streaming platform on Earth, creating a huge pipeline for distribution in the future.
Streaming invariably eliminates any possibility for financial failure as Netflix is able to broadcast productions directly to consumers at a rate previously untapped by theaters. After Netflix has had its time with the SPA products, they will then be turned over to Disney+ where the pay-for-play service can push the already specialized platform on the consumer even further. This new dimension adds several wrinkles to the already confounding algorithm that is distribution.

On one hand, it guarantees that we, the consumers, will be getting quality animated films directly for a number of years into the future. On the other, it lowers the bar of quality, so to speak. There is no way of knowing or trusting Sony Pictures Animation to keep up their impressive outings in the future, so absolute security in distribution may afford them the luxury of taking their foot off the pedal and releasing some half-baked duds. This is something that will take time to play out, but it will be very interesting to see in the future, nonetheless.
Well, 'Wish Dragon' will be releasing on June 11th of this year along with 'Vivo' which is coming out at some unspecified time in 2021. These productions will provide a clear glimpse at the impending fate of Sony Pictures Animation, but even if these new properties flunk there is still a chance at redemption for the studio. The 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 2' release will be the ultimate deciding factor in the medium to the long-term health of SPA.
Will we see another slip into sequel-itis as the conglomerate did previously or will they put more stock into making fun, touching, and creative properties. Only time will tell, but the outlook is brighter now than it ever has been. Sony Pictures Animation and Imageworks have worked together to create some truly great films in 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse' and 'The Mitchell's vs. The Machine's,' making it easier to trust them now than it ever has been before.

Aromatic hydrocarbon
Title: Aromatic hydrocarbon
Subject: Toluene, 1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene, Benzene, Lysergic acid diethylamide, Alkene
An aromatic hydrocarbon or arene[1] (or sometimes aryl hydrocarbon)[2] is a hydrocarbon with sigma bonds and delocalized pi electrons between carbon atoms forming rings. The term 'aromatic' was assigned before the physical mechanism determining aromaticity was discovered; the term was coined as such simply because many of the compounds have a sweet or pleasant odour. The configuration of six carbon atoms in aromatic compounds is known as a benzene ring, after the simplest possible such hydrocarbon, benzene. Aromatic hydrocarbons can be monocyclic (MAH) or polycyclic (PAH).
Some non-benzene-based compounds called heteroarenes, which follow Hückel's rule (for monocyclic rings: when the number of its π-electrons equals 4n+2, where n=0,1,2,3.......), are also called aromatic compounds. In these compounds, at least one carbon atom is replaced by one of the heteroatoms oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur. Examples of non-benzene compounds with aromatic properties are furan, a heterocyclic compound with a five-membered ring that includes a single oxygen atom, and pyridine, a heterocyclic compound with a six-membered ring containing one nitrogen atom.[3]

Benzene ring model
Benzene, C6H6, is the simplest aromatic hydrocarbon, and it was the first one named as such. The nature of its bonding was first recognized by August Kekulé in the 19th century. Each carbon atom in the hexagonal cycle has four electrons to share. One goes to the hydrogen atom, and one each to the two neighbouring carbons. This leaves one electron to share with one of the same two neighbouring carbon atoms, thus creating a double bond with one carbon and leaving a single bond with the other, which is why the benzene molecule is drawn with alternating single and double bonds around the hexagon.
The structure is alternatively illustrated as a circle around the inside of the ring to show six electrons floating around in delocalized molecular orbitals the size of the ring itself. This depiction represents the equivalent nature of the six carbon-carbon bonds all of bond order ~1.5; the equivalency is explained by resonance forms. The electrons are visualized as floating above and below the ring with the electromagnetic fields they generate acting to keep the ring flat.
General properties of aromatic hydrocarbons:
They display aromaticity
The carbon-hydrogen ratio is high
They burn with a sooty yellow flame because of the high carbon-hydrogen ratio
They undergo electrophilic substitution reactions and nucleophilic aromatic substitutions
The circle symbol for aromaticity was introduced by Hückel's rule in others. Jensen[5] argues that, in line with Robinson's original proposal, the use of the circle symbol should be limited to monocyclic 6 π-electron systems. In this way the circle symbol for a 6c–6e bond can be compared to the Y symbol for a 3c–2e bond.
Arene synthesis
A reaction that forms an arene compound from an unsaturated or partially unsaturated cyclic precursor is simply called an aromatization. Many laboratory methods exist for the cycloaddition reactions. Alkyne trimerization describes the [2+2+2] cyclization of three alkynes, in the Dötz reaction an alkyne, carbon monoxide and a chromium carbene complex are the reactants.Diels-Alder reactions of alkynes with pyrone or cyclopentadienone with expulsion of carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide also form arene compounds. In Bergman cyclization the reactants are an enyne plus a hydrogen donor.
Another set of methods is the aromatization of cyclohexanes and other aliphatic rings: reagents are catalysts used in hydrogenation such as platinum, palladium and nickel (reverse hydrogenation), quinones and the elements sulfur and selenium.[6]
Arene reactions
Arenes are reactants in many organic reactions.
Aromatic substitution
In aromatic substitution one substituent on the arene ring, usually hydrogen, is replaced by another substituent. The two main types are electrophilic aromatic substitution when the active reagent is an electrophile and nucleophilic aromatic substitution when the reagent is a nucleophile. In radical-nucleophilic aromatic substitution the active reagent is a radical. An example of electrophilic aromatic substitution is the nitration of salicylic acid:[7]
Coupling reactions
In coupling reactions a metal catalyses a coupling between two formal radical fragments. Common coupling reactions with arenes result in the formation of new carbon–carbon bonds e.g., alkylarenes, vinyl arenes, biraryls, new carbon–nitrogen bonds (anilines) or new carbon–oxygen bonds (aryloxy compounds). An example is the direct arylation of perfluorobenzenes [8]
Hydrogenation of arenes create saturated rings. The compound 1-naphthol is completely reduced to a mixture of decalin-ol isomers.[9]
The compound resorcinol, hydrogenated with Raney nickel in presence of aqueous sodium hydroxide forms an enolate which is alkylated with methyl iodide to 2-methyl-1,3-cyclohexandione:[10]
Cycloadditions
Cycloaddition reaction are not common. Unusual thermal Diels-Alder reactivity of arenes can be found in the Wagner-Jauregg reaction. Other photochemical cycloaddition reactions with alkenes occur through excimers.
Benzene and derivatives of benzene
Benzene derivatives have from one to six substituents attached to the central benzene core. Examples of benzene compounds with just one substituent are phenol, which carries a hydroxyl group, and toluene with a methyl group. When there is more than one substituent present on the ring, their spatial relationship becomes important for which the arene substitution patterns ortho, meta, and para are devised. For example, three isomers exist for cresol because the methyl group and the hydroxyl group can be placed next to each other (ortho), one position removed from each other (meta), or two positions removed from each other (para). Xylenol has two methyl groups in addition to the hydroxyl group, and, for this structure, 6 isomers exist.
Representative arene compounds
Ethylbenzene
m-Xylene
Mesitylene
Durene
2-Phenylhexane
Nitrobenzene
Picric acid
The arene ring has an ability to stabilize charges. This is seen in, for example, phenol (C6H5-OH), which is acidic at the hydroxyl (OH), since a charge on this oxygen (alkoxide -O–) is partially delocalized into the benzene ring.
An illustration of typical polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Clockwise from top left: benz(e)acephenanthrylene, pyrene and dibenz(ah)anthracene.
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are aromatic hydrocarbons that consist of fused aromatic rings and do not contain heteroatoms or carry substituents.[11] Naphthalene is the simplest example of a PAH. PAHs occur in oil, coal, and tar deposits, and are produced as byproducts of fuel burning (whether fossil fuel or biomass). As pollutants, they are of concern because some compounds have been identified as carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic. PAHs are also found in cooked foods. Studies have shown that high levels of PAHs are found, for example, in meat cooked at high temperatures such as grilling or barbecuing, and in smoked fish.[12][13][14]
They are also found in the interstellar medium, in comets, and in meteorites and are a candidate molecule to act as a basis for the earliest forms of life. In graphene the PAH motif is extended to large 2D sheets.

Pierre-Albert Arnal (* 8. August 1892 in L'Estréchure, Département Gard; † 1971) war ein französischer Diplomat, der zwischen 1952 und 1955 Botschafter in Venezuela war.

Leben
Arnal trat 1919 in den Auswärtigen Dienst ein und fand 1920 zunächst Verwendung am Konsulat in Oberschlesien sowie danach zwischen 1922 und 1924 als Gesandtschaftssekretär an der Botschaft in Deutschland. Nachdem er von 1925 bis 1932 Mitarbeiter der Handelsabteilung im Außenministerium war, war er von 1932 bis 1937 als Botschaftsrat erneut an der Botschaft in Deutschland tätig. Im Anschluss gehörte er zwischen 1936 und 1940 der Delegation beim Völkerbundsrat an und war danach von 1940 bis 1944 Leiter der Wirtschaftsabteilung im Außenministerium.

Nach Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges fungierte Arnal zwischen 1945 und 1946 als Chef der Verwaltung der französischen Militärregierung des Landes Baden. Danach war er von 1946 bis 1953 Generalkonsul in Düsseldorf. Im Anschluss wurde er am 3. März 1952 Nachfolger von Jean Bourdeillette als Botschafter in Venezuela und verblieb auf diesem Posten bis zu seiner Ablösung durch Pierre Denis. Zuletzt war er 1957 Chef der Verwaltung der Finanz- und Industriegesellschaft für Erdöl (Société Financière et Industrielle des Pétroles).

Listen, we adore love, and new beginnings–but healing, therapy, and discernment must come first. Khloé Kardashian just hinted that she's in love again and honestly, we have no words. For the last five months, we've been watching her cling onto the Tristan Thompson/ Jordyn Woods cheating scandal that apparently blew up her life. Though we're no fans of how Khloé handled the situation, we were pleased to see the Good American designer focusing on herself and the happiness of her baby daughter, True.
Thompson was never a prize, and after the NBA player cheated on the Keeping Up with the Kardashians starlet while she was 9 months pregnant and then placed his lips on a family friend, we could see why Khloé wanted to take a break from dating. She's even reliving the whole ordeal now on KUWTK. Apparently, it involved some sort of illness and a pregnancy scare as well, even though she and Thompson may not have been technically together when the whole scandal happened.
Now, True's mama is on Instagram shaking shit up and dropping clues about a new romance. Honestly, girl, we're unable. On a recent post, she left a song lyric which read, "wise men say, only fools rush in, but I can't help falling in love with you."
🎶 but I can't help falling in love with you 🎶
A post shared by Khloé (@khloekardashian) on Jun 26, 2019 at 7:01am PDT
Khloé sweetie–what are you doing?
First and foremost we pray this subliminal tweet has nothing to do with romantic love and we certainly hope it has nothing to do with Tristan.
One commenter got real quippy saying, "So sis you're saying that you were a fool to rush into a relationship with a man who had just left his pregnant girlfriend to start another relationship with you?!?"
Find the lie.
Meanwhile, most people just want her to slow TF down and not rush into something new. Other comments read:
"I guess the wise man didn't have this conversation with you."
"Well thm you're a damn fool, knowing how you rushed your relationship with you know who."
"Lmaooo are you calling yourself a FOOL?"
"He's not worth it sis."
Hopefully, she's just talking about another one of her Flat Tummy tea mixes or Kim's new shapewear line or something because we can't do this drama again.

Q: What's this notation for marking up pronunciation? What's this notation for marking up pronunciation?

analgesic: ann-ull-JEE-zick

What's a good introductory article or book to learn it?

A: Pronunciation respelling: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pronunciation_respelling

A pronunciation respelling is a regular phonetic respelling of a word that does have a standard spelling, so as to indicate the pronunciation. Pronunciation respellings are sometimes seen in dictionaries.

Specifically, your example is a non-phonemic pronunciation system. (source)

@bigger.net users closer to restored access
Brigadoon.com signs an agreement with Level 3 to provide Net access to thousands of users who paid a one-time fee but have been offline for months.
Jan. 2, 2002 4:43 p.m. PT
Brigadoon.com has signed an agreement with Level 3 Communications to provide Internet access to thousands of former @bigger.net customers who have been offline for months.
Brigadoon.com inked a deal with the next-generation fiber optic telecommunications carrier in February and expects to return service to former @bigger.net users by May 1, executives confirmed today.
The contract with Level 3 is a three-year, multimillion dollar arrangement, Brigadoon executives said.
A Seattle-based national Internet service provider, Brigadoon acquired failed one-time fee ISP @bigger.net in November after the company went bankrupt. But about 18,000 @bigger.net customers, who paid $60 for a lifetime of service, have been without Net access for months after the company's previous service provider turned off service when it went unpaid.
Many former users became disgruntled with the delays and may have abandoned Brigadoon in favor of other ISPs.
"I would think we'll pick up at least 5,000 subscribers," said Bill Parker, president of Brigadoon.com, adding that @bigger.net customers will continue to receive service for their previous payment of $59.95.
Dial-up access will not be activated until May 1, but @bigger.net users with other means of Internet connectivity may have access to their old email accounts as early as April 15, Parker said. Under the deal with Level 3, Brigadoon only plans to reinstate dial-up service through a point of presence in the San Francisco Bay Area. Former @bigger.net subscribers in the Los Angeles area will no longer have dial-up access.
"I don't see that we'll be getting those customers up," Parker said, noting that a few hundred @bigger.net customers remain in Southern California.
Separately, Brigadoon has plans to re-enter the Los Angeles market and offer service in San Diego for the first time this summer.
Despite @bigger.net's financial troubles, Brigadoon has not given up on the viability of one-time fee service. Parker said his company, which has had its own financial difficulties including a Chapter 11 reorganization, is considering a plan to offer service for a single flat fee in Washington state's Puget Sound area later this year.

We pushed out an update today that renames a number of the internal app API methods to some more intuitive names. Essentially we removed "Filter" from the API method names and made the API method names plural.
One of our goals with BranchCMS is to make it as easy as possible to get help while you work on your website. There is always room for improvement but one area that has proven to help is chat. Last fall we implemented Drift as a chat client in BranchCMS. While Drift is great and we would recommend them, we were finding a disconnect between our chat support conversations and email conversations.
If you add a link to your website and you set that link to open in a new window/tab then you are opening your website up to attacks from malicious websites. We have added some new security features to protect against those attacks.
Previously the only way to add new Campaign subscribers to a subscriber list was to import a CSV file. While this worked great when adding a large number of subscribers, if you had to add just a few subscribers it was a bit of a pain. You can now add subscribers one at a time to a subscriber list.
We have been working on changing our template engine from Branch Code to Twig over the last few months. To make it easier for developers to update their code we built a tool that will convert Branch Code to Twig code. It's a huge time saver!
Since January we have been working on changing the core template engine from our proprietary Branch Code to the popular Twig engine. We are about 95% done and figured that it was time to let everyone know about it.
Multi-day events are finally here for the BranchCMS Calendar app!
We're pleased to announce that the navigation within the new interface for BranchCMS is now responsive and mobile friendly.

LAS CRUCES - New Mexico State University Air Force ROTC hosted A&M Day — a large-scale recruiting event — on Pride Field Thursday.
There were games, rock climbing and food trucks for NMSU students and Las Cruces residents to enjoy, as well and military helicopters and tanks to climb aboard.
The event was organized to give "an opportunity for the NMSU campus as well as Las Cruces area to see what (military) programs we have in this area," said Captain Evin Greensfelder, operations flight commander of NMSU.

Greensfelder said this was the first time such an event was held. She said she wanted to showcase the opportunities in law enforcement and military that one can be a part of, as well as the support the NMSU campus gives to military and veterans. It also allows civilians a small glimpse of the military world.

The U.S. Army and Air Force were present, as well as Homeland Security, Military Police and NMSU Police and Fire.
"We just wanted to showcase all the opportunities out here in the community if someone would like to serve we have probably something for everyone," Greensfelder said.
The name A&M Day, Greensfelder said, was a way to pay homage to NMSU's past. The university used to be called New Mexico A&M, before the name change in 1960.
Current Air Force cadets were also present.
Victoria Martinez, a freshman cadet, is one of 65 cadets in the Air Force ROTC program. She said she encourages all students to try ROTC to see if it's a place for them, adding that the military has a lot to offer if one graduates a commissioned officer.
Martinez said she also likes the program because it "keeps (her) disciplined academically and physically."
Brendon Sanchez, a junior, said he would also recommend students to try ROTC. Sanchez, whose father served 34 years in the Army, said graduating as an officer will give him more opportunities to give back.

"I would recommend every one join some kind of service whether it be police, fire fighters, just some form of public service because you give back to the country that has already given a lot to you," Sanchez said. "We're very blessed to be born in the United States of America — we are the best country in the world — why not want to make something better for the future generations."

For eighteen months, I have had the opportunity to work at Constantin in New-York. therefore, I have improved my English and accounting skills (US GAAP, Reporting, Compilation reports...) in various fields and clients.
This experience provided me the chance to work for different kind of clients (Private Equity, Media, Pharmaceutical, start-up) and in international frameworks.
After focusing on accounting for years, I now intend to develop my abilities in other financial activities like financial analysis or management control.
I'm also looking for a job in order to take more responsibilities (senior accountant). Last but not least I wish to find a company where I will be able to contribute to its external growth and internal development.
I remain available should you have any question about my profile or how we will be able to work together.
