When using KSQL, the following terminology is used.
A stream is an unbounded sequence of structured data ("facts"). For example, we could have a stream of financial transactions such as "Alice sent $100 to Bob, then Charlie sent $50 to Bob". Facts in a stream are immutable, which means new facts can be inserted to a stream, but existing facts can never be updated or deleted. Streams can be created from a Kafka topic or derived from an existing stream. A stream's underlying data is durably stored (persisted) within a Kafka topic on the Kafka brokers.
A table is a view of a stream, or another table, and represents a collection of evolving facts. For example, we could have a table that contains the latest financial information such as "Bob's current account balance is $150". It is the equivalent of a traditional database table but enriched by streaming semantics such as windowing. Facts in a table are mutable, which means new facts can be inserted to the table, and existing facts can be updated or deleted. Tables can be created from a Kafka topic or derived from existing streams and tables. In both cases, a table's underlying data is durably stored (persisted) within a Kafka topic on the Kafka brokers.
The KSQL CLI commands can be run after starting the KSQL CLI. You can view the KSQL CLI help by running <path-to-confluent>/bin/ksql --help.
Tip: You can search and browse your command history in the KSQL CLI with Ctrl-R. After pressing Ctrl-R, start typing the command or any part of the command to show an auto-complete of past commands.
You can run a list of predefined queries and commands from in a file by using the RUN SCRIPT command.
RUN SCRIPT can also be used from the command line, for instance when writing shell scripts. For more information, see Running KSQL Statements From the Command Line.
KSQL statements must be terminated with a semicolon (;).
In the CLI you must use a backslash (\) to indicate continuation of a statement on the next line.
Do not use \ for multi-line statements in .sql files.
Create a new stream with the specified columns and properties.
KSQL adds the implicit columns ROWTIME and ROWKEY to every stream and table, which represent the corresponding Kafka message timestamp and message key, respectively. The timestamp has milliseconds accuracy.
KAFKA_TOPIC (required) The name of the Kafka topic that backs this stream. The topic must already exist in Kafka.
VALUE_FORMAT (required) Specifies the serialization format of the message value in the topic. Supported formats: JSON, DELIMITED (comma-separated value), and AVRO.
KEY Optimization hint: If the Kafka message key is also present as a field/column in the Kafka message value, you may set this property to associate the corresponding field/column with the implicit ROWKEY column (message key). If set, KSQL uses it as an optimization hint to determine if repartitioning can be avoided when performing aggregations and joins. See Key Constraints for more information.
TIMESTAMP By default, the implicit ROWTIME column is the timestamp of the message in the Kafka topic. The TIMESTAMP property can be used to override ROWTIME with the contents of the specified field/column within the Kafka message value (similar to timestamp extractors in Kafka's Streams API). Timestamps have a millisecond accuracy. Time-based operations, such as windowing, will process a record according to the timestamp in ROWTIME.
To use Avro, you must have Schema Registry enabled and ksql.schema.registry.url must be set in the KSQL server configuration file. See Avro and Schema Registry.
Avro field names are not case sensitive in KSQL. This matches the KSQL column name behavior.
Create a new table with the specified columns and properties.
The Kafka message key must also be present as a field/column in the Kafka message value. The KEY property (see below) must be defined to inform KSQL which field/column in the message value represents the key. If the message key is not present in the message value, follow the instructions in Key Constraints.
The message key must be in VARCHAR aka STRING format. If the message key is not in this format, follow the instructions in Key Constraints.
KAFKA_TOPIC (required) The name of the Kafka topic that backs this table. The topic must already exist in Kafka.
VALUE_FORMAT (required) Specifies the serialization format of message values in the topic. Supported formats: JSON, DELIMITED (comma-separated value), and AVRO.
Associates a field/column within the Kafka message value with the implicit ROWKEY column (message key) in the KSQL table.
KSQL currently requires that the Kafka message key, which will be available as the implicit ROWKEY column in the table, must also be present as a field/column in the message value. You must set the KEY property to this corresponding field/column in the message value, and this column must be in VARCHAR aka STRING format. See Key Constraints for more information.
Create a new stream along with the corresponding Kafka topic, and continuously write the result of the SELECT query into the stream and its corresponding topic.
If the PARTITION BY clause is present, then the resulting stream will have the specified column as its key.
Note: The KEY property is not supported – use PARTITION BY instead.
Create a new KSQL table along with the corresponding Kafka topic and stream the result of the SELECT query as a changelog into the topic. Note that the WINDOW clause can only be used if the from_item is a stream.
KAFKA_TOPIC The name of the Kafka topic that backs this table. If this property is not set, then the name of the table will be used as default.
VALUE_FORMAT Specifies the serialization format of the message value in the topic. Supported formats: JSON, DELIMITED (comma-separated value), and AVRO. If this property is not set, then the format of the input stream or table is used.
PARTITIONS The number of partitions in the backing topic. If this property is not set, then the number of partitions is taken from the value of the ksql.sink.partitions property, which defaults to four partitions. The ksql.sink.partitions property can be set in the properties file the KSQL server is started with, or by using the SET statement.
REPLICAS The replication factor for the topic. If this property is not set, then the number of replicas of the input stream or table will be used.
Sets a field within this tables's schema to be used as the default source of ROWTIME for any downstream queries. Downstream queries that use time-based operations, such as windowing, will process records in this stream based on the timestamp in this field. Timestamps have a millisecond accuracy.
If not supplied, the ROWTIME of the source stream will be used.
the window into which each row of bar is placed is determined by bar's ROWTIME, not t2.
Stream the result of the SELECT query into an existing stream and its underlying topic.
The schema and partitioning column produced by the query must match the stream's schema and key, respectively. If the schema and partitioning column are incompatible with the stream, then the statement will return an error.
stream_name and from_item must both refer to a Stream. Tables are not supported.
Records written into the stream are not timestamp-ordered with respect to other queries. Therefore, the topic partitions of the output stream may contain out-of-order records even if the source stream for the query is ordered by timestamp.
DESCRIBE: List the columns in a stream or table along with their data type and other attributes.
DESCRIBE EXTENDED: Display DESCRIBE information with additional runtime statistics, Kafka topic details, and the set of queries that populate the table or stream.
Show the execution plan for a SQL expression or, given the ID of a running query, show the execution plan plus additional runtime information and metrics. Statements such as DESCRIBE EXTENDED, for example, show the IDs of queries related to a stream or table.
> [ PROJECT ] Schema: [IP : STRING , KBYTES : INT64].
> [ AGGREGATE ] Schema: [CLICKSTREAM.IP : STRING , CLICKSTREAM.BYTES : INT64 , KSQL_AGG_VARIABLE_0 : INT64].
> [ PROJECT ] Schema: [CLICKSTREAM.IP : STRING , CLICKSTREAM.BYTES : INT64].
> [ REKEY ] Schema: [CLICKSTREAM.ROWTIME : INT64 , CLICKSTREAM.ROWKEY : STRING , CLICKSTREAM._TIME : INT64 , CLICKSTREAM.TIME : STRING , CLICKSTREAM.IP : STRING , CLICKSTREAM.REQUEST : STRING , CLICKSTREAM.STATUS : INT32 , CLICKSTREAM.USERID : INT32 , CLICKSTREAM.BYTES : INT64 , CLICKSTREAM.AGENT : STRING].
> [ SOURCE ] Schema: [CLICKSTREAM.ROWTIME : INT64 , CLICKSTREAM.ROWKEY : STRING , CLICKSTREAM._TIME : INT64 , CLICKSTREAM.TIME : STRING , CLICKSTREAM.IP : STRING , CLICKSTREAM.REQUEST : STRING , CLICKSTREAM.STATUS : INT32 , CLICKSTREAM.USERID : INT32 , CLICKSTREAM.BYTES : INT64 , CLICKSTREAM.AGENT : STRING].
Drops an existing stream. If DELETE TOPIC clause is present, the corresponding topic in kafka will be marked for deletion and if the topic format is AVRO, delete the corresponding avro schema too. Note that the topic deletion is asynchronous and actual removal from brokers may take some time to complete. If IF EXISTS is present, does not fail if the table does not exist.
If IF EXISTS is present, does not fail if the table does not exist.
PRINT qualifiedName (FROM BEGINNING)? ((INTERVAL | SAMPLE) number)?
Print the contents of Kafka topics to the KSQL CLI.
SQL grammar defaults to uppercase formatting. You can use quotations (") to print topics that contain lowercase characters.
Selects rows from a KSQL stream or table. The result of this statement will not be persisted in a Kafka topic and will only be printed out in the console. To stop the continuous query in the CLI press Ctrl-C. Note that the WINDOW clause can only be used if the from_item is a stream.
The WHERE clause can refer to any column defined for a stream or table, including the two implicit columns ROWTIME and ROWKEY.
A LIMIT can be used to limit the number of rows returned. Once the limit is reached the query will terminate.
If no limit is supplied the query will run until terminated, streaming back all results to the console.
TUMBLING: Tumbling windows group input records into fixed-sized, non-overlapping windows based on the records' timestamps. You must specify the window size for tumbling windows. Note: Tumbling windows are a special case of hopping windows where the window size is equal to the advance interval.
HOPPING: Hopping windows group input records into fixed-sized, (possibly) overlapping windows based on the records' timestamps. You must specify the window size and the advance interval for hopping windows.
SESSION: Session windows group input records into so-called sessions. You must specify the session inactivity gap parameter for session windows. For example, imagine you set the inactivity gap to 5 minutes. If, for a given record key such as "alice", no new input data arrives for more than 5 minutes, then the current session for "alice" is closed, and any newly arriving data for "alice" in the future will mark the beginning of a new session.
The LIKE operator is used for prefix or suffix matching. Currently KSQL supports %, which represents zero or more characters.
List the available topics in the Kafka cluster that KSQL is configured to connect to (default setting for bootstrap.servers: localhost:9092).
List the running persistent queries.
List the configuration settings that are currently in effect.
Terminate a persistent query. Persistent queries run continuously until they are explicitly terminated.
In client-server mode, exiting the CLI will not stop persistent queries because the KSQL server(s) will continue to process the queries.
ARRAYCONTAINS ARRAYCONTAINS('[1, 2, 3]', 3) Given JSON or AVRO array checks if a search value contains in it.
The CREATE STREAM and CREATE TABLE statements, which read data from a Kafka topic into a stream or table, allow you to specify a field/column in the Kafka message value that corresponds to the Kafka message key by setting the KEY property of the WITH clause.
Optional for streams. Here, KSQL uses it as an optimization hint to determine if repartitioning can be avoided when performing aggregations and joins.
For every record, the contents of the Kafka message key must be the same as the contents of the columm set in KEY (which is derived from a field in the Kafka message value).
KEY must be set to a column of type VARCHAR aka STRING.
If these conditions are not met, then the results of aggregations and joins may be incorrect. However, if your data doesn't meet these requirements, you can still use KSQL with a few extra steps. The following section explains how.
For streams, just leave out the KEY property from the WITH clause. KSQL will take care of repartitioning the stream for you using the value(s) from the GROUP BY columns for aggregates, and the join predicate for joins.
The message key is a unary function of the value in the desired key column.
It is ok for the messages in the topic to be re-ordered before being inserted into the table.
Goal: You want to create a table from a topic, which is keyed by userid of type INT.
Problem: The message key is present as a field/column (aptly named userid) in the message value but in the wrong format (INT instead of VARCHAR).
-- Derive a new stream with the required key changes.
-- 1) The CAST statement converts the key to the required format.
-- 2) The PARTITION BY clause re-partitions the stream based on the new, converted key.
-- Now you can create the table on the properly keyed stream.
Problem: The message key is not present as a field/column in the topic's message values.
-- Create a stream on the original topic.
-- only define username and email but not userid.
--    and the CAST statement converts the key to the required format.

Advanced age alone does not appear to be associated with an increased risk of death following liver transplant surgery, according to a new report by UCLA researchers.
The report, which appears in the August issue of Archives of Surgery, published by the American Medical Association, notes that life expectancy has increased in recent years, with individuals older than 70 representing a large and fast-growing segment of the general population. A healthy 70-year-old adult living in a developed country with a nutritious diet and good medical care can expect to live to age 80 or 90.
"As longevity has increased, the burden of liver disease in patients of advancing age has also increased and is associated with a higher mortality than in younger adults," the authors write. "In the 1980s, the death rate from chronic liver disease was highest in patients 65 to 74 years of age. This has led to more older patients undergoing liver transplantation."
Dr. Gerald S. Lipshutz, a UCLA associate professor of surgery, and his colleagues at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA reviewed the records of patients who received their first liver transplant between 1988 and 2005 at the Dumont–UCLA Liver Transplant Program. They then compared survival times for 62 patients age 70 or older (average age 71.9) with 864 patients between the ages of 50 to 59 (average age 54.3). Survival time was measured until death, the last known follow-up date or retransplantation.
Overall, 31 of the 62 older patients and 345 of the 864 younger patients died during the study period. After one year, 73.3 percent of older patients and 79.4 percent of younger patients survived; after 10 years, 39.7 percent of older patients and 45.2 percent of younger patients were still alive.
"We found no statistically significant difference in survival in the first 10 years after transplantation for a group of 62 patients 70 years or older when compared with a younger cohort of 864 recipients aged 50 to 59 years with similar characteristics," the authors write. "The longest-surviving patient was 88 years old at 15 years after transplantation. One-year unadjusted survival of septuagenarians in the most recent surgical period, 2001 to 2005, was 94.4 percent."
The researchers also analyzed 26 variables related to the recipients, donors and transplant operations to see which predicted patient deaths. Of the 26, four were associated with death rates: preoperative hospitalization, a prolonged period of cold storage between liver removal and transplantation, cirrhosis caused by hepatitis C or alcohol, and an increasing score on the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD), which measures disease severity. An age of 70 years or older did not independently predict death in transplant patients.
"In conclusion, biological and physiological variables may play a more important role than advanced age in predicting poor survival after liver transplantation. Measures of physiological age and risk of complications should be used in the evaluation process of elderly transplant candidates," the authors conclude. "Age by itself should not be used to limit liver transplantation."
Established in 1984, the Dumont–UCLA Liver Transplant Program was one of the nation's first liver transplant programs and has since grown into one of the world's largest transplant centers. Its surgical team has performed more than 4,000 liver transplants. For more information, visit www2.healthcare.ucla.edu/transplant/liverhome.html.


"The Alaskan coastal brown bear is the second largest land predator in the world. Only the polar bear is larger. The bear's rich diet helps them grow to sizes of over a thousand pounds and up to nine feet in height. The key part of this diet is Alaska's abundant salmon population. In the late summer the salmon spawn in the shallow rivers and streams along the coast of the Cook Inlet. With winter not far away the bears take this opportunity to bulk-up for their winter hibernation and spend most of their days chasing down salmon. I've spent many hours photographing these huge predators race across the shallow streams and lunge into the water to catch a salmon. I've watched some of these bears catch a twenty pound fish, stand-up with the fish in their paws and devour it whole, in a matter of seconds. Its an amazing experience to watch these huge predators up close and in action.


The Bakersfield Condors? Damn good and stacked with young talent.
It's almost enough to console an Oilers fan at this time of year. Almost.
The Ontario Reign, the worst team in the AHL's Pacific Division, were never in this the game on Saturday night against Bakersfield, losing 6-3.
Bakersfield, the Oil's farm team, can now lay claim to being the best team in the division in the regular season.
The Bake is cooking even without two highly-skilled players, Kailer Yamamoto and Ethan Bear, who are out with injury.
Cooper Marody, 5. Quiet game from the slick forward. He finally got his feet moving more in the third and set up Currie for a scoring chance shot. Exceptional puck carrier at this level.
Tyler Benson, 7. Showed a sniper's touch on his hard wrist shot goal.
Josh Currie, 7. Set up Benson with a pass, then went to the net hard, taking two men with him, clearing the way for Benson to fire in his goal. Got off a wicked one-timer in the first from a Benson slot feed and successful Caleb Jones pinch.
Joe Gambardella, 8. Scored a great greasy goal in the second, where he and Russell battled relentlessly for a disputed puck in the crease area before Gambardella won it and fired it home (see clip below). Scored a second after some smart passing on the power play. Almost scored on a third period breakaway, where he showed a burst of speed. Led the team with eight shots.
Brad Malone 6. Scored a goal, hustled hard.
Patrick Russell, 8. Sniped a quick wrister goal from the high slot on a sweet Gambardella feed, his 18th goal of the year. Picked off a pass in the neutral zone in the third, then combined well with Malone on a two-on-one, the final pass from Russell to Malone a real beauty. He also ripped a one-timer shot off the crossbar in the third on a power play. Dangerous and effective player at this level.
Mitch Callahan, 7. He threw some hard hits in the first, showing why Oilers GM Peter Chiarelli valued him enough to offer him a contract. He set up Labrie for a fine goal in the third. Callahan leads a hard-working third line that sets the tone for Bakersfield in terms of grit and two-way play.
Luke Esposito, 6. Competitive player, the third member of the Salty Line with Callahan and big Polei, often gets good things done at this level.
Evan Polei, 6. A big, tough and effective forechecker who should earn an NHL contract with his effective play in the Bake. Almost scored on a Espo feed in the first. Almost scored again early in the second when he took it to the net on a two-on-one, with Callahan starting off the play with a puck win in the defensive zone.
Dave Gust, 7. Almost scored on a rebound shot in the third, then again on a two-on-one in the third. He also set up Little Espo in the slot in the third for a dangerous chance. A hustler with some skill, he led his grind line with Tyler Vesel and P.C. Labrie to put on some early offensive zone pressure against the Reign, and did so again in the second. Gust has enough game that if there's a hole to fill on a top line at this level, he can fill it.
Tyler Vesel, 5. Hangs in there but doesn't stand out.
P.C. Labrie, 5. The veteran AHL tough guy has some skills.
Caleb Jones, 7. So good with the puck on his stick and playing with a bit of the nasty in the corners as well now and then. His speed helps so much, including one first period attack where he gobbled up the puck in the defensive slot, rushed it up the ice and kicked off a strong sequence of passing and cycling.
William Lagesson, 7. He and Jones are dominant at this level. Not perfect, but dominant. They move the puck well. Lagesson isn't quite as slick as Jones with the puck but he's more of heavy hitter on defence.
Jake Kulevich, 4. Quite game, OK game. Heavy boots but plenty of heart. Got beat to the net and lost a battle on Ontario's third goal.
Keegan Lowe, 6. Hard working and effective, winning most of his puck battles.
Logan Day, 4. I don't love Day's defence. His turnover in the third led to a Reign breakaway that Starrett saved. He can skate and move the puck but needs to get stick-on-puck more and work on his positioning.
Ryan Stanton, 7. He's there Kris Russell, a solid and fearless positional defender. Makes good plays in both directions. He had one weak moment when he, Lowe and Callahan allowed a cross-seam pass and one-timer on an Ontario power play, resulting in a goal against.
Shane Starrett, 6. A quiet night, though a few tough chances in the second. Moves well in the net for a big game, playing a solid positional game reminiscent of Cam Talbot when Talbot was on his game.

Winston-Salem woman's Father's Day wish: Did you know my dad?
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Leigh Somerville looked out of place, according to The Winston-Salem Journal.
The dining room was filled with 40 or so veterans. Most were in their 60s or older, and all but one were men. Nearly all of them were dressed casually in jeans, tees or golf shirts and they stood together in small groups.
The gathering, informal as it was, is a monthly meet-up organized specifically for veterans to swap stories and promote fellowship among people with a strong common experience.
Somerville, by contrast, isn't a veteran. In fact, for much of her life she resented the military and was opposed to all war. Even seeing trailers for the hit television show MASH provoked a strong reaction.

In a world where everyone is inventing a self, curating a feed and performing a fantasy of life, what does it mean to be a person? With his grandly entertaining debut memoir, playwright David Adjmi explores how human beings create themselves, and how artists make their lives into art.
Brooklyn, 1970s. Born into the ruins of a Syrian Jewish family that once had it all, David is painfully displaced. Trapped in an insular religious community that excludes him, a self he can't
understand, and a family coming apart at the seams, he is plunged into suicidal depression by the age of eight. Through adolescence, he tries to suppress his homosexual feelings and fit in, but when pushed to the breaking point, he makes the bold decision to cut off his family, erase his past, and leave everything he knows behind. There's only one problem: who should he be? Bouncing between identities he steals from the pages of fashion magazines, tomes of philosophy, sitcoms and foreign films, and practically everyone he meets—from Rastafarians to French preppies—David begins to piece together an entirely new adult self. But is this the foundation for a life, or just a kind of quicksand?
Moving from the glamour and dysfunction of 1970s Brooklyn, to the sybaritic materialism of Reagan's 1980s to post 9/11 New York, Lot Six offers a quintessentially American tale of an outsider
striving to reshape himself in the funhouse mirror of American culture. Adjmi's memoir is a genre bending Künstlerroman in
the spirit of Charles Dickens and Alison Bechdel, a portrait of the artist in the throes of a life and death crisis of identity. Raw and lyrical, and written in gleaming prose that veers effortlessly between hilarity and heartbreak, Lot Six charts Adjmi's search for belonging, identity, and what it takes to be an artist in America.
"David Adjmi has written one of the great American memoirs, a heartbreaking, hilarious story of what it means to make things up, including yourself. What do you do if you don't get the nurturing you need at home? Is it possible that art could help fill in the gaps? A wild tale of lack and lies, galling humiliations and majestic reinventions, this touching, coruscating joy of a book is an answer to that perennial question: how should a person be?"
— Olivia Laing, author of Crudo and The Lonely City
"Every single page of Lot Six has truths on it that I had never articulated to myself, and that I recognized immediately from my own crazy head, and felt so grateful for. It feels like reading Proust. David Adjmi is a genius."
— Elif Batuman, author of The Idiot and finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction
"I wish no one had ever used the words 'brilliant' or 'genius' to describe anything, so I could use them for the very first time to describe this book. David Adjmi has written a transfixing, hilarious, and devastating memoir that is wholly unique. Like a match struck in the dark, it set me afire, illuminated aspects of my own self that I'd never faced. It is not often that a book possesses this much pain, humor, and power. Lot Six is a tremendous artistic achievement and truly one of the best books I've ever read."
— Melissa Febos, author of Girlhood
"Lot Six is a deeply moving, completely riveting tour de force. With searing wit and heartbreaking honesty, Adjmi writes about the agonizing work of building an identity, and in doing so has crafted a shimmeringly beautiful love letter to art and those of us who need it to survive. Reading it I wept with recognition, and when I finished I felt more alive—as if the book had worked some kind of magic spell on me."
— Heidi Schreck, author of What the Constitution Means to Me and finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama
"[Adjmi's] lifelong devotion to art as an identity-defining tool of self-expression gives the book a fervid tone that is hard to resist; his talent for laugh-out-loud funny set pieces does the rest."
— The New York Times
"In this witty and intimate memoir, a celebrated playwright considers the path that led him to his art... Through sensitive, insightful prose, Adjmi focusses on his love for his parents, his best friends, and the theatre, a thrilling and frightening object of affection capable of playing "a magic trick," in which "ugliness was made into something achingly beautiful."
"David Adjmi's memoir of the journey from his conservative Syrian Jewish community in Brooklyn to becoming a celebrated New York playwright, is vibrant, edgy, scenic, exciting, sensitive and funny... one of the best memoirs of the year."
— BookPage (starred review)
"Stirring...Compelling... As Lot Six assiduously charts David's life—from early childhood through college, graduate school and his career— the book becomes an immersive experience, not unlike theater. On every page, readers are tasked with asking themselves the terrifying, beautiful question: What is the story of a life?"
"[Lot Six] touches upon something deep and complex in the human condition..."
(Best Books of Summer 2020)
"[Adjmi's] newly published memoir, Lot Six, as well as his 2009 play Stunning, are testament to a rapturous ability to capture the cadence and idiosyncrasies of a group never previously brought to dramatic life in mainstream culture."
— New York Review of Books
"Every page of Adjmi's memoir is stamped with the gifts of the award-winning playwright he would become. From facial expressions to floorboards, he builds scenes that stop and expand time and conjures people, himself included, in uncanny, contradictory completeness. This gimlet-eyed personal history of making and being made by art... is emotionally vast and utterly triumphant."
— Booklist
"Transcendent.. a sprawling journey into the tapestry of the self and an exploration of what it means to create—identity, meaning, art... Adjmi writes about his life with an agile humor that can be at once laugh-out-loud funny and laced with pathos ...Lot Six is symphonic in its scope, but reaching out to the reader with such intimacy page after page."
— Lambda Literary
"A born writer... 'Lot Six,' vividly portrays Adjmi's growing into a gay man in Syrian Jewish Brooklyn, and how the allure of changing roles brought him theatrical success."
— Tablet
"Beautiful... Extraordinarily rich... Wholly compelling and endearing ... From the first page and on every page, Adjmi's candor and humor win us over completely."
— Jewish Journal
"Raw, blunt, gripping and funny... The pain ultimately fuels his big talents as a writer."
— Jewish Week
"Highly recommended; this revealing memoir takes us beyond the facts of Adjmi's life to probe his quest for identity and his rise as a prominent playwright and author...His vivid prose heightens a narrative that explores his search for meaning and the often challenging road to his success as an artist in America."
"Adjmi weaves a tight but sprawling tapestry of immersive prose exploring what it means to shape and reshape oneself in the distorted mirror of America."
— LitHub
" Stunning...the most entertaining theater memoir I've read since Act One, the gold standard of theatrical memoirs... If Act One capped an illustrious career, Lot Six promises a higher profile for a writer who deserves it."
— New York Theatre
"Adjmi struggled mightily to reinvent himself, fulfill his artistic ambitions, and finally believe in his own talent... the author powerfully recounts pain and self-discovery. Raw revelations make for an engrossing memoir."
— Kirkus Review
"... a deeply honest, piquantly funny, and genuinely moving coming-of-age tale by a playwright whose major works...share similar characteristics."
— TheaterMania
"Lot Six" makes Adjmi's literary talent clear to any reader who is lucky enough to pick up this memoir. Adjmi has created a full and vibrant world...reads like great, page-turning fiction."
— JewishBoston
"... soul-baring even as it entertains... Adjmi's honest depiction of his life as a pretentious, pseudo-intellectual college student, and his subsequent coming-of-age in several definitions, is powerful whether you are familiar with his works or not."
— Baltimore Style

We face a period of significant disruption and volatility in our businesses and in life overall. The COVID-19 pandemic is changing everything about life and work as we know it. There have been some very disruptive changes recently through supply chain management which can have terribly negative impacts on the collision repair sector. As an industry, we have also questioned how prepared we are in the face of unforeseen pandemics, such as COVID-19.
The CCIF Steering Committee has created two sub committees to share valuable strategies and plans of action to assist all collision repair stakeholders.

Women protest against alleged land-grabbing by military in Delta
Posted by: Rianat Sanni in Real Estate, Real Estate News August 29, 2017	0
"Scores of women yesterday took to the streets and barricaded the Effurun roundabout axis of the East-West Road in protest over an alleged land-grabbing by military in Delta and sale of about 185.20 hectares of prime property at Uvwie, Uvwie Local Council of Delta State by the Nigerian Army."- The Guardian
The protest, which started as early as 6:00 a.m. and lasted for over three hours, resulted in traffic gridlock on the strategic highway.The women, brandishing placards with different inscriptions such as, "Our land has been sold by soldiers", "Give our land back to us", "We have no land to farm", "Mr. President come to our rescue", among others, appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to assent the bill establishing the Federal University of Petroleum Resources, Effurun (FUPRE).
Spokesperson for the protesters, Mrs. Maria Odjobu, said their land, meant for farming, had been allegedly confiscated by the army.The kingdom's monarch, His Royal Majesty Emmanuel Sideso Abe I, alleged that the military illegally acquired more than what his subjects originally gave it.
He said: "When I ascended the throne, we made several attempts to get back some of the unoccupied areas by the army. We generously gave them over 2000 hectares in 1974 with the aim of establishing the Nigeria Defence Academy, but unfortunately, the institution was moved to Kaduna.
"We then asked that the unoccupied part be returned since the academy is no more here. We approached them, but no response came. Instead, my subjects have been deprived from even living in the place. Three years ago, they marked the villages to be demolished, which were not part of the land given to them. They have illegally extended the land without our knowledge."
Speaking in the same vein, the President General of Uvwie General Improvement Union, Chief Austin Ukuwrere, situated the controversial land as the unused one that existed after the construction and occupation of the 3 Battalion Barracks, Effurun in 1979.
He claimed: "The representatives of Uvwie families seeing that not all the land purportedly acquired were actually developed and occupied, requested that they be released to them for farming, their main occupation.
"Rather than release the unused portions, the various commanding officers of the barracks, in connivance with some serving and retired army generals have been converting the illegally acquired acres of lands into private use by leasing, assigning or selling them outright to private individuals and organisations through the instrumentality of the Nigerian Army Properties Limited."
In another development, the Police Command has arrested 47 robbery and kidnap suspects in parts of the state in the last two weeks.The Commissioner of Police, Zanna Ibrahim, told newsmen yesterday in Asaba, the capital, four victims were rescued during the period. He added that a 56-year-old notorious kidnap kingpin, Musa Mohammed (Alias Dauro) and chairman of the Naiti-Allah Association in the state, was also arrested.
His words: "There is no need hiding the fact that most of the kidnappings are perpetuated by the herdsmen in connivance with some of the indigenes. Currently, he is in the custody of the police. Musa Mohammed, his son and relations all live behind the Airport in Asaba. And the house has been a den of kidnappers."
Meanwhile, the State House of Assembly has described the rats' infestation claim by the Presidency as "gimmicks of a failed political party." It claimed that Nigerians were already fed up with the ruling All Progressives Congress party (APC) administration at the centre.
The Deputy Majority Leader, Oboro Preyor, told reporters yesterday in Asaba that the claim has further portrayed the presidential aides as a bunch of liars unwittingly making mockery of the presidency.
According to the lawmaker, there was nothing wrong if the presidency had told Nigerians that Buhari was not strong enough to run the government from the office.

Q: uWSGI - Serving multiple python files with only uWSGI behind nginx Pardon me, this question is going to be too basic but i have not been able to get the solution anywhere. So, here goes ..
I have set up an instance nginx on Ubuntu 14.04 and an instance of uWSGI on port 9090.
I can direct the traffic from nginx to that one instance of uWSGI, and it works.
But every hello world example i see has something like this
> def application(env, start_response):
>         start_response('200 OK', [('Content-Type','text/html')])
>         return "Hello World From uWSGI"

and it is just one file... so, if i have multiple python files that needs to be served, distributed through a tree of subdirectories [basically my project]. How can I set that directory structure available for use through HTTP requests?
I would NOT like to use any frame work like Django of flask. But serve simple python file, similar to how a pure html site distributed through subdirectories would serve html.
i might also be missing some concept of how routing can be done. As i feel that has never come up till now.
The directory structure has logic that manipulates a database or interacts with thrid party apis.
Need some guidance to start off.
[Please let me know if there is totally a different way to archive what i am in need of, or if i am on the right track]
Thanks.

A: The application function is responsible for everything. Of you want to do routing, you do it there, by parsing the request path in env['PATH_INFO'] and then importing and calling the relevant Python functions.
But that would be rather a silly thing to do, seeing is that is exactly what Flask would do for you. You don't need to use anything else from the framework it you really don't want to.

Must Go Faster is a film production company. They tell stories.
The name is derived from a line in Jurassic Park uttered by Jeff Goldblum. Sometimes they make films about conspiracy theorists, sometimes they interview yowie hunters, whatever the project, the main requirement is to have fun and not take it too seriously.


Most employees, who bail out on their current jobs, exit for reasons other than money. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics , three million employees have left their job voluntarily every month since June 2017 to today. Staying loyal to an organization is about more than just a paycheck, for most. Going back to basic principles of human nature can help keep your employees loyal to your organization.
It's important to choose candidates wisely from the beginning. Ask the right questions during the interview to find out if the candidate's goals will align with those of your organization. Investigate what's most important to them, while also discovering what motivates them. Can you provide it, or are you wasting your time and money by hiring someone who's going to use your organization only as a stepping stone for the next opportunity? You must have a plan of how you will keep these in-demand employees, especially if you can't just throw more cash at them.
Many employees are seeking flexibility. Along with sick time, personal days, and holiday pay you must be flexible when it also comes to an employee's work schedule. Providing options such as flex time or remote options could keep an employee around for a long time.
Having an option to make your employee's schedule work for them, means they will stay longer for you. Even subtle changes that could involve leaving early on Fridays could make a big impact.
Situations arise where employees sometimes can't make it to work due to snow storms, flooding, or family emergencies. By allowing your employees to make up the time on a weekend or leave early during weather events beyond your control will leave your employees appreciate for caring about their well-being. Employees want to feel like you care about them. It may be worth it to allow them some leeway, rather than sticking to a strict attendance policy during emergency situations where employees would not be able to focus on the task at hand regardless.
Employees want to know their work is valued. It doesn't need to happen every minute of the day, but the little bit of assurance knowing they did a job well done could make all the difference.
Offer opportunities to award employees for a job well done. Employees want to feel appreciated and the more that comes across, so do the message that their job and work matters. Once employees' efforts start to go unnoticed they start to look elsewhere.
Planning team events can bond your employees and offer a little downtime. You could offer a holiday party or summer barbecue sponsored by the employer. Organizing social events for employees could keep them around longer. Choose someone in the office to be a Social Coordinator to plan employee events that provide a positive culture. Maybe a team outing or picnic together? When employees are able to bond with their coworkers and bosses outside of the office, they enjoy going to work more and working together. Strong relationships can keep employees loyal.
Rarely do employees remain loyal to a company if there is no room to grow. Provide training to employees and keep them up-to-date on the latest technology as it pertains to your company. Even if you can't offer opportunities for promotion, employers can help workers remain loyal by providing opportunities for advancement in their skills and talents. It will help your company also be more successful.
Workers are people, with real wants. They value being appreciated, cared for, and praised. They seek a positive environment where they want to come to work. Think about how to create a culture that values its workers in a variety of ways. Your company will thrive if you have loyal employees who stick around. Build relationships with your employees and they will be less likely to seek out another company.

When you really wish they hadn't heard that….
It's No Name-Calling Week, a week dedicated to bringing national attention to the problem of name-calling in our schools. Inspired by James Howe's young adult novel, The Misfits, GLSEN (the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network) and Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing created the No Name-Calling Week Coalition in hopes of starting an on-going dialogue about ways to eliminate bullying.
The following statement is neither profound nor surprising, but here it is anyway: Boys and girls don't spend a whole lot of time with each other.
I hold my memories of working at Gray Elementary School very close to my heart. It was (and still is) a fabulous Chicago Public School, with passionate and innovative teachers and supportive and forward-thinking administrators. While the learning happening inside the school was quite progressive, the school structure itself dated back to 1911. Remodeling and updating took place over the years, but certain elements of the original facade were preserved – namely, the separate boys' and girls' entrances.
Set on opposite ends of the building with words etched in stone above, these doors had long since brought boys and girls into school separately. And the sight of this historical signage never elicited any type of negative feelings from me. In fact, I appreciated the history it represented. If anything, it was a reminder of how far we've come (in education and as a culture), and an incentive for continuing to push for change and improvement. Separate entrances for boys and girls – a thing of the past, ancient history, olden times, distant memories…. It's 2012 now for goodness sakes. It's a time of inclusion, progressive thinking, and ingenuity.

During my September stay in Berlin I was able to arrange a meeting with John Z. Komurki, author of the book Risomania. We met in his InkWell Studio and talked of course about Riso and the meaning of this technique for the art publishing.
OFICYNA: When and under what circumstances did you first meet Riso?
John Z. Komurki: Vetro's first encounter with stencil duplicating was actually with a Duplo, another similar brand of printer. We acquired a second-hand model from the next door print shop when the owner decided that that technique was obsolete. Then later on we heard more and more about the Riso, and how some studios were experimenting in producing art prints and fanzines.
What do you think is the most characteristic feature of Riso that makes artists love this way of printing?
Attend any independent book fair around the world today and it can feel like a Risograph-inspired aesthetic is almost overwhelmingly predominant. There are several reasons for this. Primary, of course, is the fact that Riso looks amazing. The colours, textures and even the scent of Risograph prints are vivid and highly satisfactory, and there is a wide range of beautiful things you can do with a Riso, from mesmerising overlays of colours to lush pseudo-CYMK effects. And the very process seems to appeal to a certain type of creative intelligence. Unlike with design work that is executed purely on the computer, there is a hands-on, trial-and-error aspect to Riso printing. Your design will often evolve in tandem with the machine, and you end up with a paper trail documenting how the final product came about. Of course, screen printing provides a similar opportunity to build up a feedback loop with the medium, but it is a far more costly process (in terms of time, resources and experience). You will in fact often hear from printers that they migrated to the Risograph from silkscreen.
When did you start thinking about writing a book about Riso? What is the origin of Risomania?
A big step was teaming up with designer Luca Bogoni in setting up our own Riso press, Inkwell Press Berlin (Luca eventually co-curated and designed the book). The idea of the book came out of this. We decided to look at the contemporary Riso scene, but also provide some context, by talking to pioneers in the field, such as Knust in the Netherlands, and also by sketching the history of stencil duplicating, going all the way back to Edison's first patent. We also traced the radical history of the mimeograph, which is a field we are researching at present.
Is there such a thing as the community around Riso?
People all around the world use the Riso for very different reasons. As we document in our most recent publication, 'Riso as a Tool for Freedom', while many designers and artists use the technology precisely for its visual effects, there are many publishers and studios who, in a certain sense, don't really care about the Riso per se: it is simply a machine that lets them print autonomously. But, despite the many different ways that people use and conceive of the Risograph, we would argue that you can talk about a global Riso community. And this community is growing and being consolidated constantly, thanks in part to events like Magical Riso and Rrreplica, and in part to efforts like the invaluable Stencil Wiki website.
You are just finishing work on book about screen printing. What do you follow choosing heroes and studios for your book?
One interesting difference between curating "Silkscreen Masters" and "Risomania" was that, after a year's research, we felt we had a good sense of the Riso scene (not that we knew everybody, but we had an idea of the broad shape of things). Screen printing, by contrast, is infinite – there is no way you can try to encapsulate the whole discipline in one book. So instead we focused on a selection of printers and studios, all of whom use silkscreen in a different and innovative way. Alongside an exhaustive manual, our goal was to give a sense of the wide range of things you can do with screen printing, and share the work of some world-leading printers and artists.
What is the future for edition prints and artistic books?
DIY's future's bright. There is in fact an increasing need for politically and commercially autonomous publishing, in an age of fake news and resurgent right wing movements. The Risograph has a role to play in that.

The start of 2014 has been quite an exercise in juggling multiple objectives, clients (old and new) and challenges of travel and annoying illness. Along the way I've been listening and reading with interest the many radio and newspaper accounts of why January is such a bad month. I've always quite liked it - new starts and the materialistic Christmas frenzy as far away as possible. My favourite month though is March, not least for daffodils. So I had a big smile on my face this morning when I dragged myself from my bed for yet another very early start but found a new display of cut daffodils adorning the lobby of my hotel in Doha.
Life is good, but so far this year it's been a test of living it at full pace plus a little more.

Dolní Lotrinsko, resp. Dolnolotrinské vévodství neboli Dolní Lotharingie (Neder-Lotharingen, Lothier nebo Lottier) nebo Dolní Lorraine, byla ve středověku původně severní část vévodství lotrinského. Vévodství vzniklo v roce 959. Rozkládalo se přibližně na území současného Nizozemska, dále většině území Belgie, Lucemburska, části severní Francie (po Valenciennes a Cambrai, východní části francouzského regionu Nord-Pas de Calais) a části Německa (severní část německého regionu Porýní, včetně Cách, Kolína nad Rýnem a Východního Fríska).

Ve 12. století význam vévodství upadl a rozpadl se na menší celky, které se dostaly pod nadvládu vévodů z Brabantu. V tradici vévodství lotrinského nadále pokračovalo Horní Lotrinsko.

Historie
Vévodství bylo vytvořeno z bývalé říše Lotharingie králem Lotharem II., který byl králem od roku 855. Lotharingie byla koncem 9. století rozdělena a následně znovu spojena francouzským králem Ludvíkem III. podpisem Ribemontské smlouvy v roce 880. Po smrti Ludvíka IV. v roce 911 připojil k hrabství francouzský král Karel III., část západní Francie. Tím bylo vytvořeno vévodství. Kolem roku 995 pak vévoda Giselbert, syn Reginara, vévody lotrinského prohlásil hrabství vévodstvím a dostal k tomu souhlas nejen německého císaře Jindřicha I. Ptáčníka, ale i francouzského krále Rudolfa Burgundského. V roce 959 svatý Bruno Veliký (924–965 v Remeši), arcibiskup kolínský, syn Jindřicha I. Ptáčníka a sv. Matyldy, bratr německého císaře Otty I. rozdělil Lotharingii na dvě vévodství: Dolní a Horní Lotrinsko či Dolní a Horní Lotharingii a udělil hraběti Godfreyovi I. z Mons titul vévody Dolní Lotrinska. Toto území sahalo od severu dolů po řece Rýn, zatímco Horní Lotrinsko leželo dále na jihu po řece Rýn. Obě vévodství tvořila západní část Svaté římské říše založené Brunovým starším bratrem císařem Ottou I. v roce 962. Další vývoj obou zemí byl odlišný. Po smrti Godfreyho syna vévody Richara bylo Dolní Lotrinsko podřízena přímo císaři, dokud v roce 977 Otto II. neohrožoval vévodu Dolního Lotrinska Karla (953–993). Dolní a Horní Lotrinsko se opět spojily pod vládou Gothela (či Gozela) I. (kolem 967 – 19. dubna 1044). Dolní vévodství pak postupně zanikalo, zatímco Horní Lotrinsko se stalo známým jako Lotrinské vévodství.

Následná území
Po rozbití územní celistvosti a ukončení moci vévodství vzniklo v tomto regionu mnoho dalších států. Nejdůležitější z nich byly:
  Lutyšské knížecí biskupství (Liège), status knížete-biskupa mezi 980–985 od císaře Otty II.
  Kolínské arcibiskupství
  Utrechtské knížecí biskupství
  Cambraiské biskupství, Cambraiská arcidiecéze
  Limburské vévodství (Limburk)
  Geldernské hrabství, hrabata z Guelders
 Markrabství Ename – Ename je belgická vesnice ve vlámské provincii Východní Flandry, od 11. století byla součástí domén benediktinského opatství
  Jülišské vévodství
  Namurské hrabství, hrabství Namuru, namurská markrabata
  Klevské hrabství, hrabství Cleves
  Henegavské hrabství, hrabství Hainaultu
  Holandské hrabství
  Vévodství Berg
  Loonské hrabství (Limburk)
  Hornské hrabství, hrabství Hornes, v dnešní době součást Nizozemí a Belgie. Jeho jméno pochází z vesnice Horn.

Následující nástupnické státy zůstaly pod pravomocí vévodů Dolního Lotrinska (Lothier):
  Antwerpské markrabství
  Lovaňsko-bruselské hrabství
  Brabantské lankrabství, později vévodství Brabantské

My site, my views. Unofficial, unfunded and occasionally unorthodox. Enjoy!
welcome to Yorkshire Guide. You may be pleased to know this is not one of those naff directories that clutter the web and exist only to make money from advert clicking. This is my website, reflects my opinions, and covers whatever I want to cover, and before anyone calls me a hypocrite, yes it has adverts, but not too many and they're fairly unobtrusive. If I ever get the shop concept working I'll take the ads off.
It's also incomplete, and always will be. It's updated and growing week by week, and will eventually cover all kinds of stuff - basically whatever I feel like. Think of it as a sort of giant blog.
In the meantime I'm adding an average of about one or two pages a month. That's not a lot, but it should be of a reasonable size by about 2017. In fact, in 2018 I plan to be up the Dales for as long as it takes to avoid any mention of the Olympics whatsoever. One day I might even add an accommodation directory where people can review places they've stayed, but that's for the future as and when some of the other things in my currently very busy life drop off.
A lot of this site is about walks I really like, and I've tried to illustrate them all with photos. The main reason being that I can't draw for toffee and I thought the Ordnance Survey license agreement was too onerous to accept.
And be warned, I have opinions, so if you're offended because I don't like organised religion, Yorkshire Water, twee antique shops, antique bed slat holders, poncy gastro pubs serving tiny portions of silly food or assorted other things, then please accept a full refund and leave now.
What's popular at the moment? Well people seem to like the coast section and particularly Filey and Whitby. But the majority are seldom right, so please look around.
If you like anything on the site, feel free to leave comments on any page or use the contact form. In the highly likely event that you spot any errors, please let me know as I do make a point of correcting them.
Fantastic site! You've covered some parts of Yorkshire which are very close to my own heart.
I'd love to see you cover the Wolds in the same way!
thanks James, unfortunately I have a lifetimes work to do on this site first. But I will gert round to the Wolds one day.
lovely site, please keep adding more.
Any website that celebrates the very existence of the kingdom of Yorkshire is in my book bloody brilliant! For this is the centre of the whole universe, a land flowing with milk and honey and these broad acres are the finest acres in the whole of the British Isles... However, surely we don't want to encourage any of them southern ponces to visit do we?
quite a way to go till it's a complete guide!
Terrific site. will certainly refer to it first for my trip next spring. More please.
I quite like those new flats in Scarboroughs North Bay....wish I could afford one!!
I have taken note of your walks which are detailed enough to allow ME the chance to set down the route on an OS map. Thanks for those, and good luck with increasing the site.
Ilkley is a location where some people are unfriendly. Also as a wheelchair user and visitor, is a town with many shops which are not accessible to wheelchair users.
Had a great time looking through your comprehensive site and found some walks that I will definitely try out. Putting maps on sites is a problem, which I encountered when developing my own site - more a diary of walks I have completed than suggestions for others. My first love is the Lake District where I enjoy the high fells, but the second best place has to be the Yorkshire Dales.
If writing a guide check your facts first or you will appear ignorant. Not a guide that will inspire people to visit Yorkshire.
Cool site! I'll definitely bookmark it.
Some of what you say is accurate some not. Perhaps you should visit Robin Hoods Bay again. The shops are not run down at all there are many new ones with some existing actually refurbished.
Cracking site!!Love the comments about the old Lifeboat at Whitby.I once politely declined the offer of a trip out to sea in said boat,as i fully expected to drown!Your comments about Flamborough are spot on too.As my wife is a Flamborian,we spend a fair bit of time there.Can't say i've ever seen any satanic rituals in Danes Dyke!I must go at the wrong time!!Love the idea of Zimmer racing in Brid too,though that might just be too much excitement for South Shore!!!
Just stumbled upon this site while at work (tut tut) because wanted to find out about where to go on my week off and someone was thinking of going to Filey. I love GB for holidaying and think some people dont appreciate what's on your doorstep. Only just started reading through but anticipate visiting some of the places on here depending on how far they are (I'm in Notts) Thanks for a lovely site.
As a regular visitor to Yorkshire, I am very pleased to have come across your website. I found it very informative and honest. You've been added to my favourites. Keep up the good work and thank you!
I am planning our 2012 UK trip and stumbled upon your site. What a brilliant stumble! Nothing beats comments from people who have "seen it & done it." WELL DONE. Be proud. And thanks also to the "contributors" with their own views of the areas. Making our planning sooooo much easier.
really useful site, found it via Google while looking for info re Flamborough Head; ahead of planned visit in a couple of weeks time. Ta very much Like your unapologetically putting your views by the way, which I broadly share. Can I come to your house for some proper grub if there's no Wetherspoons or Crown Carvery handy?!
I've really enjoyed reading your site. I've been coming to Filey all my life - and now enjoy staying at 5leys Holiday Accommodation right on The Beach. Keep up the good work.
Great website and useful for our trip to Grindale next week. We'll be exploring the dog-friendly walks and doing lots of exploring. Love the honest craic - it's exactly what we need! Thank you.
thanks for the website...its great to see a site thats honest and doesnt just try to 'sell' everything to the public! I live in Lincolnshire but love taking trips out to Yorkshire...hoping to try to get up to how stean gorge tomorrow now! Your going on my list of 'favourites', keep it up!
Good site thank you. Sounds like you enjoy 'getting out there'. Try the Meanwood Valley Trail into Leeds (park adel wood car park & regular buses back). There's a coffee&cake stop at crossing of Monkbridge Rd (No37) and/or short detour to Bretts FishΧps after Grove Ln. Then a beer in the Chemic Tavern and more fishχps next door.
Everyone agrees you've done walkers a great service-Myself from the US Boston and only visit in June- Super information that you should copyright!

Q: Map - Run methodReference with arguments I have tried to run the methods like this, but it didn't work.
My map with method references:
private final Map<String, Runnable> validationMethods = new HashMap<>();

{
  validationMethods.put("getTransactions", ValidationInterceptor::validateTransactions);
  validationMethods.put("getDeals", ValidationInterceptor::validateDeals);
}

Here's the methods I'm trying to run from the map:
private static void validateTransactions(Method method, List<Object> arguments, Object resourceInstance) {
    doSomthing(method, arguments, resourceInstance);
}

private static void validateDeals(Method method, List<Object> arguments, Object resourceInstance) {
    doSomthing(method, arguments, resourceInstance);
}

And the core method with parameters:
protected void handleValidation(final Message message, final Method method, final List<Object> arguments) {
    validationMethods.get(method.getName()).run();
}

Question is - how do I pass the arguments to the static methods?

A: Define a functional interface:
@FunctionalInterface
interface Validator {
    void validate(Method method, List<Object> arguments, Object resourceInstance);
}

Change the type of the map to:
private final Map<String, Validator> validationMethods = new HashMap<>();

Call the method validate on a Validator retrieved from the map:
validationMethods.get(method.getName()).validate(method, arguments, message);

The problem is your static methods can't be represented as Runnables: the method run doesn't have parameters (when you call .run() you don't pass arguments).
In the standard library, we don't have a function which would take 3 parameters and returns a value. If you reduced the number of parameters to 2, we could go with BiFunction. If there were one parameter, Function would come in handy. That's why declaring own functional interface here is justified.

A: I can see that you use Method to define the required validation rule. So you should have an interface with the required method and number of parameters:
@FunctionalInterface
interface ValidationRule {
// add as many parameters as you need
void validate(Message message, List<Object> arguments);

}
Then it's better to encapsulate each validation in the separate class. It helps you to test and support each of them:
public final class GetTransactionsValidationRule implements ValidationRule {

    @Override
    public void validate(Message message, List<Object> arguments) {
        // logic validation
    }
}

public final class GetDealsValidationRule implements ValidationRule {

    @Override
    public void validate(Message message, List<Object> arguments) {
        // logic validation
    }
}

And finally should have encapsulated basic validation logic in another class:
public class ValidationService {

    private static final ValidationRule NULL = (message, arguments) -> {};

    private final Map<String, ValidationRule> rules = new HashMap<>();

    {
        rules.put("getTransactions", new GetTransactionsValidationRule());
        rules.put("getDeals", new GetDealsValidationRule());
    }

    public void handleValidation(Message message, Method method, List<Object> arguments) {
        rules.getOrDefault(method.getName()).validate(arguments);
    }

}

All you need now is just create an instance of ValidationService and call handleValidation method:
ValidationService validationService = new ValidationService();
validationService.handleValidation(...);
