Q: what is Correct Exception to raise in a rest API in response to request to delete a resource without enough permission? I'm creating a rest API, using ASP.net Core and bit-framework
We want to allow the clients to be able to delete just the resources that they have created themselves

Questions:
In case a client asks to delete a resource which is created by another client,

*

*what is the best exception to raise in the API?

*What is the most correct HTTP status code to return?

*All the exception implemented in Bit.Owin.Exceptions namespace are:\

*

*BadRequestException

*ResourceNotFoundException

*AppException

*DomainLogicException
should I stick to this list of exceptions in my API? Is this list of exceptions going to be including more exceptions to cover more scenarios?

*I think one of these status codes must be returned, but which one suites better our condition?:

*

*403 Forbidden

*405 Not Allowed

*409 Resource Conflict

A: I'm not familiar with the framework you are using. But let me give you my 2 cents. From the API consumer point of view, the 403 status code seems to be a quite reasonable choice for the situation described in your question:

6.5.3.  403 Forbidden
The 403 (Forbidden) status code indicates that the server understood the request but refuses to authorize it.  A server that wishes to make public why the request has been forbidden can describe that reason in the response payload (if any). [...]

Alternatively, if you intend to hide the existence of a resource, throw an exception that maps to 404:

An origin server that wishes to "hide" the current existence of a forbidden target resource MAY instead respond with a status code of 404 (Not Found).

A: Based on @cassiomolin's answer, you can create your own exception type based on following docs:
https://docs.bit-framework.com/introduction/web-api#exception-handling
add exception type to bit framework known exceptions
public class CanNotDeleteOtherClientResourceException : Exception, IKnownException, IHttpStatusCodeAwareException
{
    public CanNotDeleteOtherClientResourceException(string message)
        : base(message)
    {
    }

    public HttpStatusCode StatusCode { get; set; } = HttpStatusCode.Forbidden;
}


As the industrial world grows more dependent on oil from the conflict-ridden Persian Gulf, energy security is again worrying the West. An increase in Iranian attacks on oil tankers, along with a continuing level of Iraqi attacks, is raising the possibility of US and/or Soviet military involvement in the Gulf. But oil analysts say oil supplies remain safe despite the attacks.
Nearly two-thirds of the known oil reserves in the world are in the Persian Gulf. Secure shipping of crude along the 500-mile gantlet of the Gulf and through the Strait of Hormuz is crucial to oil exporters and importers - especially those in the United States, Japan, and Western Europe, which are buying increasing amounts of cheap oil from this region.
But last week, Japanese tanker owners suspended tanker movements to and from Kuwait after two Japanese tankers were attacked by Iranian missiles in 24 hours. And on May 6, a Soviet freighter, the Ivan Koroteyev, came under rocket and machine-gun fire from what were presumed to be Iranian launches in the Gulf.
The United States and the Soviet Union are sending warships into the Gulf to deter Iranian attacks. Ships flying US and Soviet flags soon will be in harm's way. Three Soviet tankers were chartered by Kuwait last month. The US has agreed to register 11 Kuwaiti ships under US flag.
But although tankers are constantly under threat, the oil supplies from this region remain fairly safe, points out Hossein Tahmassebi, chief economist at Ashland Oil in Ashland, Ky.
Around 4 million barrels a day are pumped out of the region across Saudi Arabia to the port of Yanbu on the Red Sea or via pipeline through Turkey to the Mediterranean. Thousands of barrels are trucked out of the region to Jordan, too.
And although the attacks on tankers have become more threatening due to the stationing of Iranian missiles near the strait, upwards of 100 tankers ply the Gulf waters unharmed each day.
Moreover, supplies of oil in the world remain quite adequate. Dr. Tahmassebi says the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries alone has up to 15 million barrels a day of unused capacity today, and oil demand is growing at only 1 percent a year, at most.
In the event of a supply interdiction in the Persian Gulf, oil nations elsewhere would be only too happy to crank up production, especially at higher prices. The 90-day oil supply contained in the strategic petroleum reserve of the US, Japan, and European nations provides an additional buffer.
This is one reason why Bijan Mossavar-Rahmani, assistant director of international energy studies at Harvard University, sees a hidden agenda in the recent Kuwaiti calls for help.
Because Iranian forces have advanced onto the Fao peninsula in southern Iraq, Kuwait feels increasingly threatened. Dr. Mossavar-Rahmani thinks the Kuwaitis are trying to drag the superpowers into the conflict in order either to hold Iran at bay or to broker a settlement to the 6-year-old war.
Meanwhile, with the Iran-contra affair having damaged US relations in the region, Washington is striving to show Gulf Arab nations that the US is their friend.
As part of that show of support to the Arab bloc, US Assistant Secretary of State Richard Murphy has been visiting the region. He is the highest level US official to go to the Gulf since the Iran-contra affair broke.
Another means of support is the US's quiet backing of the $18 a barrel price of oil rather than insisting, as it did last year, that only the free market should determine the price. But the US still stops short of endorsing the price-fixing of OPEC.
But both the Reagan administration and oil nations agree on one thing: They don't want the oil tariff that congressional committees have been considering. Higher prices brought on by a tariff would make OPEC oil less attractive and would lead to higher US oil production, notes Dr. Tahmassebi. It might also set off tariffs in Europe and Japan.
This is why Saudi oil minister Hisham Nazer on a recent visit to the US indicated oil prices could reach $22 a barrel by the end of the year. That would make oil regions of the US happy and slow the drive for a tariff. If prices indeed rise, that would ease US dependence on Mideast crude and be more politically acceptable in the US from an energy security point of view.
Nonetheless, dependence on Persian Gulf region oil will increase, according to the IEA. Western nations will get 40 percent of their total crude from OPEC, the IEA says. This is expected to rise to 50 percent by the year 2000 as non-OPEC oil sources dry up.

Reporter: "Kofi Annan is a drink. True or false?"

Reporter: "How many world wars have there been?"
Passer-by: "Three"
Reporter: "Which state does KFC come from?"
Passer-by: "I don' know, I really don' know"

Two-thirds of the approximate 370 million self-identified indigenous peoples are found in Asia, enriching the region's enormous cultural and linguistic diversity. They have strong cultural attachment to the land, forests and waters and their livelihood depends on the natural resources therein. They have their own distinct languages, cultures, customary laws and social and political institutions that are very different from those of the dominant ethno-linguistic groups in their countries.
While there is no "definition" of indigenous peoples, the ILO Convention 169 provides criteria for their protection under international law, referring to their self-identification, indigenous peoples' traditional life styles; their culture and way of life different from the other segments of the national population, their own social organization and political institutions; and the fact that they live in historical continuity in a certain area, or before others "invaded" or came to the area.
These common features are thereby what makes indigenous peoples different and distinct from the majority of the population in each country. In fact, they maintain their distinct identities such as Karen, Kadazan Dusun, Mangyan, Toraja, Hmong, Bunung among others and are commonly and collectively refered to as "ethnic minorities" in Vietnam, ''ethnic nationalities'' in Myanmar, "hilltribes" in Thailand, "masyarakat adat" in Indonesia and ''Orang Asal'' in Malaysia.
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is a political and economic organization of ten Southeast Asian countries namely: Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Brunei, Cambodia, PDR Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam. ASEAN aims to accelerate economic growth and social progress among its member states.
However, among the ASEAN member states, the individual and collective rights of peoples who self- identify as indigenous peoples are being violated on a daily basis. All too often, their territories are sacrificed and expropriated for state-sponsored development and corporate projects that lead to gross and wide-scale violations of their collective rights, especially regarding their lands, territories, and resources.
Although all states in the ASEAN voted for the adoption of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) in 2007, most of them still refuse to respect and implement the indigenous peoples' collective rights, especially to their lands, territories and resources and to self-determination. Several ASEAN states, underpinned by legal systems inherited from colonial times, have arrogated to themselves the right to allocate, regulate and determine ownership, use, control and development of land and resources. These systems that are imposed often do not recognize the historical and customary use of lands and resources that have been nurtured and managed for centuries based upon the inherent rights and traditions of indigenous peoples. This has also caused the loss of the indigenous peoples' cumulative and collective indigenous knowledge and worldview that have enabled them to sustainably develop their fragile homelands and unique cultures over the centuries.
In recent years, indigenous peoples in Southeast Asia have been engaging the ASEAN for the recognition and protection of their individual and collective rights. Pivotal to their engagement was the creation of an Indigenous Peoples Task Force (IPTF) in 2009 that served as a platform for solidarity and unity for indigenous peoples to lobby the ASEAN governments in the region. It directed its engagement with the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR), particularly the members of the commission who were friendly with civil society organizations (CSOs). The engagement focused on the legal recognition of indigenous peoples as distinct peoples with collective rights as already recognized internationally. It has been actively providing recommendations during the drafting of the ASEAN Human Rights Declaration, which was eventually adopted in November 2012.
However, despite the engagement, the AICHR and the ASEAN as a whole have not moved forward in recognizing indigenous peoples and their rights. The adopted ASEAN Human Rights Declaration, aside from falling below international standards with its flawed principles, has failed to include provisions recognizing indigenous peoples' rights. It contradicts the moral obligation to which the ASEAN member states committed by voting in favour of the UNDRIP, and runs counter to their obligations under the human rights conventions and treaties they signed and ratified. Some member states have legislation or policies that recognize indigenous peoples and their rights, still, most have none, as they claim that there are no indigenous peoples in their country or that everyone is indigenous.

19th century Temperance Unionists, Gore, New Zealand
WATERMELON SLIM INTERVIEWED (2007): He's had interesting lives
"You tell them this," says 58-year old bluesman Watermelon Slim in a voice which sounds like he has been gargling whisky-soaked nails. "God has blessed me with an extremely full and interesting life. It's not all been fun or positive and I'm not proud of everything I've done. But I've been blessed to get this far."
Indeed, because Slim -- aka Bill Homans -- has lived like a character in a Tom Waits song. He fought in Vietnam and subsequently became an anti-Vietnam protester, was a sawmill worker, debt collector, firewood salesman, watermelon farmer (hence the name), truck driver, and a petty criminal.
"Yes, I committed felonies every day -- but I didn't do the stealing myself. I was the wheel man," he rumbles, referring to the driver of the getaway car and which is the title of his latest album.
"I had associates involved with the Irish mob. I knew people on both side of the legal fence."
Slim says this, not by way of bragging, but in a matter-of-fact conversation which also encompasses references to his father who was a lawyer involved in the Civil Rights movement, how he first heard the blues sung by a black woman who worked in their house when he was a child in North Carolina, and how he went to university in the late 90s to reinvent himself.
And while this remarkable character may have been on the fringes of respectable society, he also holds a double degree (history and journalism) and is a member of Mensa International, the organisation for people with extremely high IQs.
"I dropped out of being a journalist when I realised I wasn't going to cut it in an office. I'm not good at offices. I'm loud, opinionated and slightly difficult. I'm not a fellow who would fit into a clean, technologically-oriented office. Matter of fact, they really didn't like me at all.
"Whether I like it or not, I look more like a truck driver or a damn wheel man than a journalist or a teacher.
"The reason I can't teach is -- and I did get educational endorsements in six subjects along with a masters degree -- I don't have teeth. One school superintendent was candid enough to say, 'Your lack of teeth is an effective bar to your professional employment'. "
He embarks on an articulate digression about discrimination in the workplace and legal precedent, and ends up back on the subjects he majored in: American history from the Civil War, American intellectual history, "and I did a sub-major in environmental history. I've also done graduate work in developmental psychology".
Not that these prepared him for his life as the hardworking and acclaimed bluesman who received six nominations at the Blues Awards 2006 and was described by Ray Charles' producer Jerry Wexler as combining "Jimmy Rodgers, the Carter family and Bob Wills with Sonny Boy Williamson and Wilson Pickett".
"I don't call myself a professional musician," he laughs. "I'm an amateur playing with professionals who make me sound good. I only quit my last truck driving job three years ago. I had tried several times to become a professional musician but I'm not a good business man, so I always seemed to go back to other work."
But it is that other work which provides him with not only the source of his songs -- he despises the whole "I lost my baby" blue style noting he has lost more than a few himself -- but also the dirt under the nails to be authentic.
He rails against young blues musicians "who haven't been out of high school long enough to have a job -- or, as in my case, a dozen jobs. They haven't been alive long enough to think that maybe they are going to die."
Slim -- an Anglican looking forward to singing hymns and taking communion when in Auckland -- admits he thinks about that a fair bit: he doesn't keep good health and ticks off a heart attack, stroke, various injuries, on-going problems with the few teeth he has in his lower jaw . . .
"My health history says things are going to go wrong. I've had a lot of serious injuries because I never held back from doing stuff, I've always been physical.
"I've tried to eat right, but I drink a lot. I couldn't say I have been concerned with my security.
"But I don't have any other option other than to play music. The only other would be to get myself a new truck and run my own business as smalltime owner-operator."
And he's serious: the man who garners awards and enthusiastic reviews for his earthy, honest, high-powered blues with his rocking band the Workers says he does consider maybe getting a new truck. You won't hear that from blues players half his age for whom this music is a career and not a calling.
"No. What've they ever done to break a sweat? Their parents supported them. When I was growing up playing this music people would say, 'Oh dear, this is not what we want for our son'.
"But I just went on playing in spite of that."

A point from Sligo substitute Emma Hansberry in the final breath of Sunday's Connacht Intermediate Ladies Semi-Final was the difference between success and failure, as Leitrim crashed out of the competition with a narrow 4-14 to 3-16 defeat at Elvery's McHale Park in Castlebar.
Hansberry, a half-time substitute, shrugged off the attention two Leitrim defenders and bought herself time to kick between the posts to give Sligo the narrowest of victories.
However, controversy reigned as referee Seamus Regan blew the full-time whistle from the following re-start, despite another 90 seconds remaining on the stopwatch while Leitrim supporters felt that top scorer Aine Tighe was denied a clear-cut penalty in the closing stage as she bore down on goal.
Neither were Sligo too impressed with the Roscommon official as they felt that Tighe and Leitrim's third goal should have been disallowed for a foul on the keeper while the Yeats women also felt that Sinead Fowley should have received a yellow card for a challenge on keeper Emma Cullen that resulted in the Sligo net-minder leaving the field on a stretcher.
Niall Kilcrann's side flew into a five point lead in the first six minutes courtesy of a point each from Shauna Clancy and Erin Farrell, before Aine Tighe smashed the ball past Emma Cullen in the Sligo goal after the Kiltubrid forward latched on to the end of Clancy's through ball. The Yeats Ladies had suffered defeat at the hand of the Green and Gold earlier this year and Pat Costello's side were determined not to let Leitrim run away with things this time.
With seven minutes played, Geevagh corner forward Elaine O'Reilly capatalised on an opportunity to shoot from 25 metres, leaving four scores between the sides before scores from Aine Gormley and Sinead McTiernan put Sligo within two points of Leitrim.
O'Reilly struck again on 11 minutes as she got on the end of an Aine Gormley free, showed two defenders a clean pair of heels and slotted the ball over the bar. Aine Tighe brought the gap back to two two minutes later as she scored her first point of the tie, converting a free which Sinead Fowley won on the 14 metre line.
Tighe and Noelle Gormley exchanged wides in the 18th and 19th minute respectively before an injury to Leitrim keeper Michelle Guckian forced a break in play. Noelle Gormley collided with the St Mary's stopper, forcing Leitrim into an early change as Patricia Forde came on and Mary Farrell deputised between the posts. Pat Costello's side reduced the deficit to two shortly after, Karen Maloney on target for the Yeats County.
A 21st minute booking for Shauna Clancy was the catalyst for a short Sligo revival, although despite having plenty of possesion for a reasonable spell, they only had a Noelle Gormley goal to count for it. She fired past Farrell and into the net with 25 minutes played to put Sligo in the lead for the first time.
Four more scores from Aine Tighe along with a point each from Farrell and Niamh Tighe gave Leitrim a four point lead at half time, McTiernan's point on 29 minutes the only reply for the black and white, leaving the score at 1-10 to 1-6 in Leitrim's favour.
Sligo ate into Leitrim's lead early in the second period courtesy of scores from Aine and Noelle Gormley, and half-time substitute Emma Hansberry to leave a point between the teams. Sligo recaptured the lead on 35 minutes when McTiernan was upended by Mairead Stenson inside the square, Nicole Fowley fired the ball into the top corner of the net and past Guckian, who came back on at halftime, to give the Yeats Ladies a two point lead.
Aine Tighe replied before Cullen was adjudged to have fumbled Farrell's high ball across the goal-line to put Leitrim ahead by two. Sligo were forced to substitute Cullen on 42 minutes when Sinead Fowley's late challenge on the Geevagh keeper meant she had to be stretchered off after eight minutes of treatment.
The lead changed hands twice more but Sligo delivered what seemed to be killer blows on 55 and 57 minutes when O'Reilly pounced twice, making the most of some slack Leitrim defending. Sligo now lead 4-10 to 2-13 with three minutes of ordinary time remaining. Leitrim pegged the lead back to three points and their good work bore further fruit on in the fourth minute of added time when Aine Tighe bundled the ball over the Sligo line after colliding heavily with the keeper to level the game once more.
Leitrim sub Laura O'Dowd spurned a golden opportunity to send her side into a Connacht Final six minutes into the red when she found herself behind the Sligo keeper. The Ballinamore woman attempted to pick the ball up instead of shooting and in doing so, gave Tracey O'Hara time to get back and nudge the ball out of her grasp and to safety.
Further scores from Sligo from Hansberry and Maloney meant the score stood at 25 points a piece.
Hansberry then broke Leitrim hearts as she dodged her way past several gold shirts, steadied herself and found the posts from 25 metres to leave the score at 4-14 to 3-16. With 38 minutes on the stopwatch, Leitrim thought they had two minutes left to recover, but the Roscommon official called time on the game, much to the frustration of players and management alike.
Michelle Guckian, Mairead Stenson, Enya McWeeney, Mary Farrell, Kirby Gilgunn, Sinead Tighe, Lisa McWeeney, Sinead Fowley (0-1), Deirdre Ward (0-1), Niamh Tighe (0-1), Shauna Clancy (0-1), Kiara Keegan, Lorraine Brennan, Erin Farrell (1-4), Aine Tighe (2-8).

Q: What is the DotNet Core alternative to AppDomain.CurrentDomain.ProcessExit event? I want to do some cleanup in a library when the process is being closed, what is the DotNet Core alternative for that? In .Net Framework 4 I used AppDomain.CurrentDomain.ProcessExit.

A: Since your code is in a library you can make the caller of the library provide a notification. That way the host can decide to notify you.
Normally, a library is not supposed to mess with process global state. It should not assume much about the environment it's being hosted it.
Maybe the caller can pass a Task that becomes completed when process shutdown starts. Or, the caller can call a static method on your library (NotifyProcessShutdown or PerformProcessShutdownCleanup).

A: There is no alternative to AppDomain.CurrentDomain.ProcessExit in .NET-Core, the same event is used.
However, if you want to do cleanup in a library, I recommend either of the following two methods:

*

*Adding a void Shutdown() (or something similar) to an interface of your library which the main application would call.

*Using IDisposable in your library, so the library can clean itself up when disposed.

Then, the main application would use AppDomain.CurrentDomain.ProcessExit and trigger one of the mechanisms above.

A: It's back since .net core 2.0 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.appdomain.processexit?view=net-5.0

Kwas chlebowy (pot. kwas) − napój klasyfikowany jako bezalkoholowy, mimo niewielkiej zawartości alkoholu, wytwarzany przez fermentację chleba. Znany od średniowiecza, rozpowszechniony w krajach wschodniej i północnej Europy – przede wszystkim w Rosji, na Ukrainie, Białorusi i w krajach bałtyckich. Napój przygotowuje się pospolicie w gospodarstwie domowym, a od końca XIX wieku także fabrycznie.

Właściwości

Gęstość kwasu wynosi 1,006−1,016 g/cm³, zawartość alkoholu 0,7−2,2% objętościowych, substancji wyciągowych 1−5,2%, kwasu mlekowego 0,18−0,48%; zawiera ponadto bardzo wiele drożdży, mało bakterii.

Kwas chlebowy ma naturalnie słodko-kwaśny zapach i smak pieczonego chleba, dobrze gasi pragnienie (nie jest za słodki) i długo utrzymuje niską temperaturę po schłodzeniu. Ma jasno-brązowy kolor, na dnie butelki może utworzyć się naturalny osad, który znika po wstrząśnięciu butelką.

Wytwarzanie
Jest otrzymywany przez alkoholową i kwaśną fermentację chleba z dodatkiem cukru lub owoców i drożdży górnych, przyprawiany zwykle miętą.

Historia
Pierwsza wzmianka o kwasie chlebowym pochodzi z Rusi Kijowskiej i została zapisana w XII-wiecznej Kronice Nestora, według której książę Włodzimierz z okazji swojego chrztu polecił rozdawać mieszkańcom Kijowa m.in. miód i kwas chlebowy.

W II RP butelkowany kwas produkował warszawski browar pod marką Haberbusch i Schiele oraz wytwórnia wody sodowej i lemoniady Karpińskiego (Kwas Karpińskiego).

Produkcja przemysłowa w XXI wieku

Prawdziwy kwas chlebowy ma trwałość 3-4 dni, bywa sprzedawany na ulicy z beczki (Rosja, Białoruś, Ukraina, gdzie go można wypić na miejscu lub w szklanym naczyniu zanieść do domu). Niektóre browary produkują prawdziwy kwas chlebowy z chleba o ważności do 9 miesięcy, stosując specjalną technologię i pasteryzację w wysokiej temperaturze.

Często niektóre lokale gastronomiczne dla swoich gości robią własny kwas chlebowy. Jest to szczególnie popularne na Litwie i w Rosji.

Obecnie również są w sprzedaży koncentraty, które umożliwiają szybkie przygotowanie kwasu chlebowego, poprzez dodanie cukru i wody. Najczęściej jednak zawierają one substancje konserwujące, podobnie jak napoje sprzedawane w sklepach pod tą samą nazwą.

Przykładowe proporcje składników
 Suchy chleb razowy 1 kg
 Suchy chleb żytni 0,5 kg
 Cukier 0,6 kg
 Woda 12−13 litrów
 Drożdże 30−40 g

Burakovsky helps Kraken beat Panthers 5-2

| December 12, 2022 11:20 AM
SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Andre Burakovsky scored the go-ahead goal midway through the second period and the Seattle Kraken beat the Florida Panthers 5-2 on Sunday night.
Matty Beniers, Jordan Eberle, Daniel Sprong and Yanni Gourde also scored to help Seattle snap a three-game losing streak. Martin Jones finished with 23 saves as the Kraken improved to 3-1 all-time against the Panthers — including 2-0 in Florida.
"We wanted to get back to who we are,'' Seattle coach Dave Hakstol said. "We had lost three in a row so we needed that 60-minute performance in order to push back in the right direction. Our players did that. ... I thought we were pretty consistent, our special teams were solid and contributed to the win. Goaltending was solid. That's what it takes to get a good road win."
Eric Staal and Chris Tierney scored for the Panthers, who have lost two straight and three of four. Sergei Bobrovsky had 27 saves while starting for the second straight night with Spencer Knight out due to illness.
"There were an awful lot of difficulty in some basic things in our game,'' Florida coach Paul Maurice said. "We had trouble moving the puck. There are physical turnovers and mental ones and we had a little bit of both. … As the game wore on, you saw the mental aspect. We started a little bit off then they pushed and I don't think we found a way to get better during the game."
Seattle opened the scoring 1:04 into the game when Beniers scored on a turnover deep in the Florida zone. It was his 11th of the season.
The Panthers tied the score at 7:34 of the second when Staal scored his first goal in more than 18 months. The veteran center, who did not play in the NHL last season, signed a one-year deal with Florida in October.
Burakovsky then gave Seattle the lead for good 1:31 later with his 10th of the season.
Florida was unable to tie the score on a power-play chance in the third and Eberle scored his seventh soon after it ended to give the Kraken a 3-1 lead at 7:15.
"I think it was a much better effort than we had seen lately,'' Gourde said. "It was a much more complete game, our compete level was higher. Everything was better tonight."
The Panthers' Ryan Lomberg was hit with a two-minute penalty for roughing and a five-minute major for boarding a little more than four minutes later. The Kraken took advantage as Sprong scored on the power play with 4:51 left for his sixth.
Gourde scored an empty-netter with 2:38 left to make it 5-1.
Tierney capped the scoring with his second with 1:17 remaining.
NOTES: The Panthers continue to deal with players feeling under the weather. After captain Aleksander Barkov missed six consecutive games before returning Thursday night, center Anton Lundell has missed four games and Knight has been out for three. ... The Panthers also have defenseman Radko Gudas in concussion protocol after he was hurt in Seattle on Dec. 3.
Kraken: At Tampa Bay on Tuesday night.
Panthers: Host Columbus on Tuesday night.

Wang Xiangzhai (王芗斋), zi Yuseng (宇僧), chiamato Zhenghe (政和), ma anche conosciuto come Nibao (尼宝), nella vecchiaia venne soprannominato Maodun Laoren (矛盾老人, vecchio uomo bastian contrario).

La Vita
Wang Xiangzhai è nato nel 1885 nel villaggio Weijialincun (魏家林村), nell'area amministrativa di Shenxian (深县), nella provincia di Hebei. Nel 1894, a nove anni, entra nella scuola di Xingyiquan di Guo Yunshen (郭云深). Nel 1907 si trasferisce a Pechino e viene assunto dall'esercito. Nel 1913 inizia ad insegnare arti marziali. Nel 1918 lascia tutti i suoi impegni ed intraprende un viaggio attraverso la Cina.
Visita il Tempio Shaolin ed in particolare riceve gli insegnamenti nello Xinyiquan (心意拳) da parte del bonzo Henglin. Dopo aver trascorso un lungo periodo di tempo con questo monaco, Wang riprese il suo viaggio recandosi in Hubei, Hunan e Fujian. Durante il tragitto frequenta e si confronta con numerosi maestri dei differenti stili. Nel 1923, in Fujian, conosce Fan Yongcang (方永苍), che appartiene ad una famiglia di praticanti di Zonghequan (纵鹤拳, un ramo dell'Hequan). Più tardi, nuovamente in Hunan, nella città di Henyang si incontra con il maestro Xie Tiefu (解铁夫), praticante anch'egli di Xinyiquan (心意拳), che Wang trovò superiore sia nel combattimento a mani nude che in quello con le armi. Questo incontro sarà fondamentale, infatti Wang Xiangzhai scrive: "Dopo il Signor Guo Yunshen, io fui ancora profondamente influenzato dal maestro Xie Tiefu". Nel 1925 incontra Huang Muqiao (黄慕樵) da cui apprese la Danza per la Salute (健舞, Jianwu). Nel corso dello stesso anno ritorna a Pechino. Nel 1926 inizia a sviluppare la sua scuola che chiama Yiquan (意拳).  Trasferitosi a Tianjin si lega in amicizia a Zhang Zhaodong, che gli presenta numerosi allievi quali Zhao Enqing, Zhang Entong (張恩桐) e Zhao Fengyao.
Nel 1928 è a Shanghai dove diventa amico di Wu Yili (吴翼翬), un insegnante di Xinyi Liuhe Bafaquan (心意六合八法拳), e dove fonda la Yiquanshe (意拳社, associazione di Yiquan) che è frequentata da molti personaggi quali Gao Chendong (高 掁 東), Bu Enfu (卜恩富), ecc.
Nel 1935, Wang Xiangzhai assieme a Han Xingqiao (韓星橋), Zhang Entong e Bu Enfu, ritorna a Shenxian, mentre Han Xingyuan (韓星垣) continua ad occuparsi della scuola di Shanghai.
Nel 1937 Wang è nuovamente a Pechino dove insegna Yiquan. Sempre nello stesso anno viene sfidato da un celebre maestro locale, Hong Xuru, che Wang sconfisse clamorosamente ottenendo che gli allievi di quest'ultimo passassero nella quasi totalità sotto il suo insegnamento. In questo periodo Wang differenziò l'insegnamento in due corsi uno dedicato al combattimento, l'altro alla salute (Yangsheng).
Nel 1939 nei quotidiani Shibao (實報) e Xinminbao (新民報), Wang Xiangzhai invita i praticanti di tutte le arti marziali a venire ad incontrarlo per scambiare i loro punti di vista e per scoprire l'Yiquan. In questi anni viene forgiato il nome Dachengquan (大成拳) ad opera di due ammiratori del maestro Wang: Qi Zhenlin e Zhang Yuheng (张玉衡).
Nel 1941 Wang assegna dei nuovi nomi ai propri allievi che ritiene siano pervenuti alla vera arte del combattimento: Han Jiao; Bu Enfu; Zhang Entong; Zhao Fengyao; Zhao Enqing ed Yao Zongxun. Partendo dal testo "Il giusto principio dell'Yiquan", Wang ha redatto il Quandao Zhongshu (拳道中枢, il perno centrale della via del pugilato), l'opera che espone l'essenza della sua dottrina.
Nel 1949, probabilmente sotto la spinta del nuovo corso politico, abbandona l'insegnamento marziale ed approfondisce gli aspetti salutistici e terapeutici della propria arte.
Nel 1963 muore nella città di Tianjin.

Scritti
Wang Xiangzhai ha pubblicato numerosi articoli e libri:

Rose Williams wants to work on more diverse sets
Rose Williams wants to work on "more diverse sets" in the future.
The 'Power' star has opened up about her future in the film industry, revealing that she is keen to work with more women as well as do some filmmaking and directing, but not for a little while yet.
Asked what her ambitions are, she said: "Definitely to work with women and on more diverse sets. Some actors talk about directing and I am interested in filmmaking but maybe in 20 years."
The 27-year-old actress also opened up about the #MeToo movement and diversity and equality in the film industry, admitting it was "really profound" to work with an intimacy coordinator for the first time in her acting history.
Speaking about her experience, she added: "Yes and no. I worked with an intimacy coordinator for the first time on this job, which was really profound. I'd never had that level of care and planning going into scenes that require nudity, sex or whatever. Plus it was a very female-dominant cast and crew."
Rose is set to star in horror movie 'The Power' and she admits the "micro-experiences" of sexism she had experienced herself informed her character Val's rage and frustration.
She told the Metro newspaper: "Exploring female rage - I filmed it when I was 25 and I realised I was addressing a rage through the character I didn't know I had, a rage I'd suppressed for women as a collective and for my individual experiences too. Those micro-experiences that clump together and layer up. Like when the janitor touches my character Val in the elevator, and things like catcalling and being put down. I think it's fair to say most women have had experiences of being shut down in the workplace or among friends."


During an active shooter situation, the natural human reaction is to be startled, feel fear and anxiety, and even experience initial disbelief. You can expect to hear noise from alarms, gunfire and explosions, and people shouting and screaming. Training provides the means to regain you composure, recall at least some of what you have learned, and commit to action. We know a trained individual will more likely respond according to the training received and will not descend into denial, while the untrained will more likely not respond appropriately, descend into denial and helplessness, and will usually become part of the problem. There are several sets of planning guidance that have been developed for active shooter incidents for organizations such as schools, government and business office settings.


Creating sustainable public infrastructure in support of a community requires planning, design, and construction methodology that considers a series of social, economic, environmental, technological, and governance issues.

We have an expansive talent base of engineering professionals that can overcome any project challenge resulting from those obligations. From the start, the catalyst to our success has been based on the individual attention we provide to each of our municipal clients. We address and anticipate the needs and concerns of our clients to satisfy both immediate and future goals. This dedication is evident in the number of clients we have retained and subsequently the in-depth, diverse experience we have acquired through repeat business.

SLJ's Reviews of the 2021 National Book Award for Young People's Literature Longlisters
Sep 15, 2021 | Filed in News & Features
Here are SLJ's reviews of the books that made the longlist for the 2021 National Book Award for Young People's Literature.
The National Book Foundation announced its longlist for the 2021 National Book Award for Young People's Literature. The list includes two previous National Book Award honorees and showcases titles that address gender and sexual identity, race and politics, familial history and global events, and the magic woven into the fabric of communities. SLJ's reviews are below.
Home Is Not a Country by Safia Elhillo. Random/Make Me a World. ISBN 9780593177051.
Gr 6 Up–Growing up in the United States, Nima wonders what life would be like if she spoke Arabic fluently, if her father hadn't died, if her mother had not left a country where everyone had dark eyes, sepia-toned skin, and textured hair like her, or if she had been given a name she felt she could live up to. In this novel in verse, Elhillo shows readers the beauty of what could have been, and the pain of being labeled a terrorist. When Nima's best friend, Haitham, is attacked, a series of dangerous events unfold, yet readers are given no real resolution. Told in three parts, the flow is a bit disjointed, but overall this is a quick and engaging story. Fans of Elizabeth Acevedo's Clap When You Land or Samira Ahmed's Love, Hate & Other Filters will enjoy this look at identity and acceptance. VERDICT A unique verse novel that looks at how our past choices influence identity and sense of belonging.–Monisha Blair, Rutgers Univ., NJ
The Legend of Auntie Po by Shing Yin Khor. illus. by author. Kokila. Tr ISBN 9780525554882; pap. ISBN 9780525554899.
Gr 5-8–In Sierra Nevada in 1885, three years after the passing of the Chinese Exclusion Act, 13-year-old pie maker Mei helps her father run the logging camp's kitchen. Mei, who is Chinese, also spends time with her best friend Beatrice (Bee) Andersen, who is white, and masterfully spins tall tales about a female Chinese folk hero named Po Pan Yin, aka Auntie Po, and her blue buffalo Pei Pei. As Mei grapples with her growing feelings for Bee, she suddenly starts to see Auntie Po and Pei Pei in real life. Rising racial tension in the area reaches a boiling point when Chinese cook Ah Sam and another Chinese worker are attacked on their way back to the logging camp. Changes are coming to Mei's life, and even the mother of all loggers, Auntie Po, can only do so much to help. The author interweaves fabulism and historical fiction into a well-designed, evenly paced, stirring narrative. There is a strong sense of place, thanks to stunning watercolors and Mei's informative narration of how a logging camp is run. The Auntie Po stories add a layer of humor or poignancy and act as an emotional channel for Mei's internal struggles. Mei's gradual queer awakening is treated sensitively as an important part of her story line. Mei; her father, Hao; Ah Sam; and some background logging camp characters are of Chinese heritage; the majority of the rest of lumberjacks are white; and there is a Black family living at the camp as well. VERDICT A moving read that skillfully explores themes of racism, privilege, and identity. A must for all libraries.–Pearl Derlaga, York County P.L., VA
A Snake Falls to Earth by Darcie Little Badger. Levine Querido. ISBN 9781646140923.
Review to come.
Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo. Dutton. ISBN 9780525555254.
Gr 9 Up–It's 1954 San Francisco, and 17-year-old Lily Hu is the epitome of a "good Chinese girl": She's modest, respectful of her parents, and her most outlandish interest is rocket science. Then she finds a magazine ad for Tommy Andrews, male impersonator at the Telegraph Club, and everything changes. She befriends classmate Kathleen Miller, who's into airplanes and knows about the Telegraph Club too, and all of her unspoken feelings begin tumbling out. The pair sneak out to the club, and Lily is both overwhelmed and thrilled as she is enveloped by the San Francisco lesbian scene. But the girls' secret is dangerous; it threatens Lily's oldest friendships and even her father's citizenship status. Eventually, Lily must decide if owning her truth is worth everything she's ever known. Lo's historical novel is a meditative exploration of a young gay Chinese American girl in the 1950s. While there are many compelling tenets woven throughout Lily's journey (racism, anti-Communism, her Chinese family's relationship to their American identity), an abundance of detail weighs down the plot. The focus on world-building is at times heavy-handed, causing repetitiveness and rendering Lily and Kath's relationship the slowest of burns. Lo's prose comes alive when describing Lily's blossoming awareness of desire; readers will be enthralled with her breathless, confusing experience of seeing the long-awaited Tommy Andrews and finally expressing her feelings for Kath. The ending is devastatingly realistic for its time, but an epilogue shimmers with a gloss of hope. VERDICT A pensive, rich work of queer historical fiction that will reward patient readers.–Ashleigh Williams, School Library Journal
Too Bright to See by Kyle Lukoff. Dial. ISBN 9780593111154.
Gr 4-7–Lukoff's (When Aidan Became a Brother) middle grade debut is a deeply empathetic exploration of grief and gender identity through the eyes of Bug. The summer before Bug starts middle school, things are rough. Bug's beloved Uncle Roderick passed away from a difficult illness and the family business is in trouble. Bug's longtime best friend is excited about makeup and boys, but these things don't resonate with Bug, and a rift begins to form between the friends. With all this change and grief comes a much different problem: Bug is being haunted, and not by the innocuous spirits that typically inhabit their home. Lukoff's three primary themes—gender identity, grief, and ghostly hauntings—work in elegant harmony despite the load. Lukoff navigates Bug's journey of identity and discovery with grace, welcoming readers in so they can learn along with Bug in real time. Those readers focusing more on the haunting aspects of the story won't be disappointed and can expect multiple goosebump-worthy moments. In a brief author's note, Lukoff provides guidance in regards to both Bug (pronouns, etc.) and the book when recommending it to others. While some potential readers may hesitate at mixing ghosts and gender, Lukoff's portrayal is sensitive, hopeful, and effective. The cast generally adheres to the white default; Bug's family and classmates share diverse LGBTQIA+ identities. VERDICT A hopeful examination of grief and gender, and a good ghost story to boot. Recommended as a first purchase for all libraries.–Taylor Worley, Springfield P.L., OR
Revolution in Our Time: The Black Panther Party's Promise to the People by Kekla Magoon. Candlewick Press. ISBN 9781536214185.
Me (Moth) by Amber McBride. Feiwel & Friends. ISBN 9781250780362.
Gr 8 Up–This searing debut novel-in-verse is told from the perspective of Moth, a Black teen whose life changed forever the day a car crash killed her family. Once a dancer who lived so hard she drank the sun, now she lives quietly with her aunt Jack in suburban Virginia. She no longer dances and is struggling with the guilt of her family's deaths. But then she meets Sani, a Navajo boy who lives with his white mother and abusive white stepfather and really sees Moth. Sani gave up making music after leaving New Mexico and takes pills to clear his mind. Summer arrives, and the two take off on a road trip out west, back to the reservation where Sani's Navajo father lives. Along the way, their stories entwine. Sani recounts the origin story of the Navajo, and Moth shares about her grandfather who taught her hoodoo. Like a moth in a cocoon, they each find themselves on the edge of transformation on their journey. Each free verse poem is tightly composed, leading into the next for a poignant and richly layered narrative. The story builds softly and subtly to a perfect, bittersweet ending. Fans of Jacqueline Woodson won't be able to put this one down. VERDICT Earnest, surprising, and with a little magic, this book is a must purchase for all teen collections.–Erica Ruscio, Ventress Memorial Lib., Marshfield, MA
The Mirror Season by Anna-Marie McLemore. ISBN 9781250624123.
Gr 8 Up–In this novel inspired by their own experience, McLemore employs the device of magical realism as smoothly and artistically as protagonist Ciela creates pan dulce in her aunt's panadería. This first-person narrative opens like a fairy tale, recounting how her great-grandmother passed the gift of matching specific Mexican sweet bread to each client's needs. This ushers readers into the spring night of Ciela's junior year when she deposits an unknown white boy at the ER. Both of them were sexually assaulted, something that she cannot think about, much less talk about, so she mentally ascribes her own narrative to avoid splintering. Afterward, she begins to notice the metamorphosis of beautiful things in her life, like flowers and leaves, into glass shards, the largest of which is wedged in her heart. This is also when she realizes that her gift is missing. The story unfolds like a puzzle being slowly pieced together through rich, symbolic descriptions strengthened by equally symbolic Spanish translanguaging. Readers feel the agony of injustices committed on queer brown people, and powerless white people, and will be compelled to read deeply until the book's end, and then flip back to absorb more details. VERDICT A masterpiece intertwining painful teen realities involving injustices based on race, ethnicity, class, and gender with trauma and healing within loving, supportive families.–Ruth Quiroa, National Louis Univ., Lisle, IL
Unspeakable: The Tulsa Race Massacre by Carole Boston Weatherford (text) & illus. by Floyd Cooper. Carolrhoda. ISBN 9781541581203.
Gr 3-6–One hundred years ago, the Greenwood district of Tulsa, OK, was a prosperous Black community. Restaurants, beauty salons, movie theaters, and dozens of other businesses thrived along "Black Wall Street." Cooper's sepia-tone illustrations depict the bustle of everyday life as people hurried to shops or churches and gathered with friends. A stark spread signals the tragic turning point that resulted in the decimation of Greenwood's Black community. A 17-year-old white woman elevator operator accused a 19-year-old Black man of assault. Incited by calls to action printed in white-owned newspapers, thousands of armed white men headed to the jail, where they met 30 armed Black men determined to stop a lynching. The confrontation resulted in the deaths of two Black men and 10 white men. Angry that they didn't get to the jailed Black man, a white mob invaded the town, looted, and committed arson. The police did nothing to protect the Black citizens. Up to 300 Greenwood residents were killed, and more than 8,000 were left homeless. Seventy-five years passed before an official investigation occurred. Cooper's illustrations are infused with a personal connection. Not only did he grow up in Tulsa, but Cooper also heard his grandpa's stories of surviving the events. The powerful photo spread on the endpapers documents the destruction and smoking ruins. Cooper's final illustrations of Tulsa's Reconciliation Park offer a bit of hope. Weatherford's author's note provides additional background. VERDICT This moving account sheds light on shameful events long suppressed or ignored. All collections should consider this title's value in providing historical context to current conversations about racism and America's ongoing legacy of white supremacy.–Kathy Piehl, Minnesota State Univ. Lib., Mankato
From a Whisper to a Rallying Cry: The Killing of Vincent Chin and the Trial That Galvanized the Asian American Movement by Paula Yoo Norton. ISBN 9781324002871.
Gr 8 Up–This narrative nonfiction title chronicles the brutal 1982 murder of Vincent Chin, which led to the first federal civil rights case involving an Asian American. While celebrating his bachelor party at a Detroit nightclub, Chin, who was Chinese American, became involved in a fight with two white autoworkers, Ronald Ebens and his stepson Michael Nitz. The two men later cornered Chin at a McDonald's and beat him to death with a baseball bat. Ebens and Nitz received a reduced charge of manslaughter and were sentenced to a mere three years probation and a $3,000 fine. The Asian American community was outraged at this unjust punishment, perceived to be a manifestation of anti-Asian racism fueled by anger directed at the Japanese car industry. Readers will be riveted by the first-person accounts from multiple points of view, including Chin's family and friends, lawyers, defendants, and eyewitnesses. In fact, the book reads almost like a TV crime drama, utilizing flashbacks and culminating in a series of chapters depicting each key witness's testimony. The book includes black-and-white primary photos and newspaper articles as well as a time line, extensive endnotes, and a list of archive sources. As the author reflects in her afterward, Chin's story is an important parallel to today's societal strife mirrored in the rise in racism and violence against Asian Americans who have been unfairly blamed for the COVID-19 pandemic. VERDICT Highly recommended for readers interested in social justice nonfiction such as Chris Crowe's Getting Away with Murder and Bryan Stevenson's Just Mercy.–Maile Steimer, Jones M.S., Buford, GA

El faro, means Lighthouse in Spanish.
Saw this cute little sign every time I pass by Burmah road, so thought I should give it a try.
When I first saw the word Tapas, I thought it's something like Taco.
Well of course I'm wrong.
Tapas, originated from Spain, are small tasting plates of dishes.
so that you could sample a variety of dishes instead of having only one hefty dish.
person who wants everything. It's quite obvious on my cafe-hopping posts.
And here comes the glorious food!
We have been having thin slices of bacon, but look at this thick fat one!
Love the tender texture, and also the lychee vinegrette on top. Never had anything like this!
this time I did feel the numbing sensation from the Sze Chuan pepper.
The meat is juicy and the numbing was pretty fun!
I know it looks like ordinary roti bakar but this is the bomb!
slightly crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, heavenly.
So please, eat all you can, while you still can.
