Q: How to configure Spring-Security to access user details in database? I am puzzled with SpringSecurity. There are many ways to implement a simple thing and I mixed them all up.
My code is as follows but it throws exception. If I remove UserDetailsService related codes, the application runs and I can login in-memory users. As suggested below, I converted the configuration to XML based but users cannot sign-in.

A: See there are some errors exist in your code base try to resolve it by seeing the code below.
Remove your SecurityConfig file and convert into xml file based configuration.
Your spring-security.xml should look like this.
   <security:http auto-config="true" >
  <security:intercept-url pattern="/index*" access="ROLE_USER" />
  <security:form-login login-page="/login" default-target-url="/index"
   authentication-failure-url="/fail2login" />
  <security:logout logout-success-url="/logout" />
 </security:http>

    <security:authentication-manager>
   <security:authentication-provider>
     <!-- <security:user-service>
   <security:user name="samplename" password="sweety" authorities="ROLE_USER" />
     </security:user-service> -->
     <security:jdbc-user-service data-source-ref="dataSource"
      users-by-username-query="select username, password, active from users where username=?"
          authorities-by-username-query="select us.username, ur.authority from users us, user_roles ur
        where us.user_id = ur.user_id and us.username =?  "
  />
   </security:authentication-provider>
 </security:authentication-manager>

web.xml should be looking like this:
 <servlet>
  <servlet-name>sdnext</servlet-name>
  <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
        <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>

A: Try adding the following method to your SecurityConfig:
@Bean
public UserDetailsService userDetailsServiceBean() throws Exception {
    return super.userDetailsServiceBean();
}

A: Spring cannot find the bean with qualifier userDetailsService.
I think you should check your applicationContext.xml file in case if you have forgot to configure UserDetailsService's bean for Spring Security.If it there then try once by removing @Qualifier("userDetailsService").
follow this link.
context.xml file configured against spring security

A: It seams that your "userDetailsService" bean is declared @Autowired, but it's not available as a class (MemberServiceImpl) in the context of your SecurityConfig.
I suppose in your MvcWebApplicationInitializer you should include MemberServiceImpl also like:
@Override
protected Class<?>[] getRootConfigClasses() {
    return new Class[] { SecurityConfig.class, MemberServiceImpl.class };
}

A: I think you forget for add this annotation on SecurityConfig  Class
@Configuration
@EnableWebMvcSecurity
@EnableGlobalMethodSecurity(prePostEnabled = true)
public class SecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

    @Autowired
    @Qualifier("userDetailsService")
    UserDetailsService userDetailsService;

    @Autowired
    public void configureGlobal(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth)
            throws Exception {
        auth.userDetailsService(userDetailsService).passwordEncoder(
                passwordEncoder());
    }

    @Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http.authorizeRequests()
                .antMatchers("/resources/**", "/", "/index", "/aboutus")
                .permitAll().antMatchers("/profile/**").hasRole("USER").and()
                .formLogin().loginPage("/signin").failureUrl("/signin?error")
                .permitAll().and().logout().logoutUrl("/signout").permitAll();

    }

    @Bean
    public PasswordEncoder passwordEncoder() {
        PasswordEncoder encoder = new BCryptPasswordEncoder();
        return encoder;
    }

    @Bean
    @Override
    public AuthenticationManager authenticationManagerBean() throws Exception {
        return super.authenticationManagerBean();
    }
}

and one things more I thinks this bean is not need
 @Bean
        @Override
        public AuthenticationManager authenticationManagerBean() throws Exception {
            return super.authenticationManagerBean();
        }

Please try this hope this will work for you..
For get current user
public String getUsername() {
        SecurityContext context = SecurityContextHolder.getContext();
        Authentication authentication = context.getAuthentication();
        if (authentication == null)
            return null;
        Object principal = authentication.getPrincipal();
        if (principal instanceof UserDetails) {
            return ((UserDetails) principal).getUsername();
        } else {
            return principal.toString();
        }
    }

    public User getCurrentUser() {
        if (overridenCurrentUser != null) {
            return overridenCurrentUser;
        }
        User user = userRepository.findByUsername(getUsername());

        if (user == null)
            return user;
    }

Thanks

A: I think the issue could be due to missing @ComponentScan annotation. When trying to autowire userDetailsService in SecurityConfig, it's not able to find a suitable bean to autowire with.
A spring application usually has a separate "application context", in addition to "mvc context", "security context" (which you already have via SecurityConfig), etc.
I'm not sure if putting @ComponentScan on SecurityConfig itself will work on not, but you can give it a try:
@Configuration
@ComponentScan("your_base_package_name_here")
@EnableWebMvcSecurity
@EnableGlobalMethodSecurity(prePostEnabled = true)
public class SecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
...
}

Replace "your_base_package_name_here" with the name of the package containing your @Component or @Service classes.
If this doesn't work, add a new, empty class with @ComponentScan annotation:
@Configuration
@ComponentScan("your_base_package_name_here")
public class AppConfig {
    // Blank
}

Source: http://docs.spring.io/spring-javaconfig/docs/1.0.0.M4/reference/html/ch06s02.html

A: Try changing the field type:
@Configuration
@EnableWebMvcSecurity
public class SecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

    @Autowired
    @Qualifier("userDetailsService")
    MemberServiceImpl userDetailsService;

A: Here is the answer , using the proper @ComponentScan will resolve, below is sample code snippet I am pasting which I also faced the same problem and resolved. Below is solved and works for issue related to bean creation exception for org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetailsService

Step1: Write the Security Application Configuration class
import org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetailsService;

    @Configuration
    @EnableWebSecurity
    public class LoginSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

        @Autowired
        @Qualifier("userDetailsServiceImpl")
        UserDetailsService userDetailsService;

Here @ComponentScan is not mandatory in LoginSecurityConfig  , you can define @ComponentScan in the root config class like below and import the LoginSecurityConfig.class LoginSecurityConfig.
@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
@ComponentScan(basePackages = { "com.example" })
@Import(value = { LoginSecurityConfig.class })
public class LoginApplicationConfig

Step2: Now Autowiring the SpringBean org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetailsService
@Service("userDetailsServiceImpl")
public class UserDetailsServiceImpl implements org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetailsService {

@Autowired
UserDao userDao;

@Override
public UserDetails loadUserByUsername(String username) throws UsernameNotFoundException {

User user = userDao.findByUsername(username);

if (user == null) {
            System.out.println("User not found");
            throw new UsernameNotFoundException("Username not found");
}

  return new org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.User(user.getUsername(), user.getPassword(), true, true, true, true, getGrantedAuthorities(user));
}

private List<GrantedAuthority> getGrantedAuthorities(User user) {
    List<GrantedAuthority> authorities = new ArrayList<GrantedAuthority>();

    authorities.add(new SimpleGrantedAuthority("ROLE_USER"));
    return authorities;
}

    }//End of Class

A: I am using Wicket and ran into the same problem.
I could solve this problem by changeing the order in my AppInit Class to scan the package first, then register the calling Bean
public class AppInit implements WebApplicationInitializer {
    @Override
    public void onStartup(ServletContext servletContext) throws ServletException
{

        // Create webapp context
        AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext root = new AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext();
        root.scan("my_package");
        root.register(SpringSecurityConfiguration.class);
...#
}

Thousands attend anti-war rally in downtown Boston- photos
by Pete Stidman
Email: pstidman (nospam) yahoo.com	 20 Mar 2005
Thousands of Bostonians joined actions around the globe today in protest of the continuing occupation of Iraq. Speeches from notable local activists and scholars were interspersed with music and poetry. A wide diversity of class, race, age and political inclination was represented in the crowd, although much of the real energy behind the event and on the stage came from student activists.
Peaceful protest was the norm until late in the day, when violence erupted between police and protestors at the end of an unpermitted march led by City Councillor Chuck Turner. According to reports, a police officer pushed an attendee into a police motorcycle unprovoked. The startled man then turned and spit on the officer. The following melee saw four arrested before Chuck Turner was able diffuse the situation using a bullhorn and some sensible advice on how to proceed in solidarity with the arrestees.

Re: Thousands attend anti-war rally in downtown Boston- photos
nice pictures pete!
except that the "official" organizers derailed the march and facilitated these arrests by extending the rally to 3 hours, thinning the crowd tenfold and giving the police time to bring in their reinforcements. we could have marched 5,000 strong, instead we were 500.
they did this when they heard they werent getting a permit to march. this was cowardice on the part of the organizers, and courage on the part of everyone who marched. at least we had each other's backs, even if "boston mobilization" and the self-appointed "leaders" of the movement did not.
This is definitely the last time I show up for anything organized by Boston MOBE, UJP or ANSWER. That rally was ridiculous, and I feel incredibly disempowered by the empty posturing that was on hand all day yesterday. Yeah, we're such a strong and powerful voice against war. Does everyone feel good about themselves? Do you feel like you did your part "raising your voice" against war so you could home with a clean conscience? Do you feel "strong"?
The rightwing is right. This "movement" is a joke. Until people are willing to step out of their comfort zones and make a real stand of defiance, we deserve every defeat handed to us by the right. We deserve every bit of humiliation. We deserve to feel as powerless as we really are. Fuck.

To Anarchist:
Dude you are so polarised it is sick. What's wrong?
Worldpeace,
Sorry dude, just speaking my mind.
I am from a working lcass background and never attended college. I have been an activist for years. I have been to countless protests, been tear gassed, maced, beaten, and jailed. I participated in teach-ins, forums, marches, picket lines, non-violent civil disobedience, and full on riots.
Unfortunately, I am starting to feel very tired and demoralized by it all. And it's not my politics that are wavering. I still am unwavering in my anarchism.
I just question the sincerity, committment, and strategic sense of many of my so-called allies.
Honestly, if you feel alienated by my polarizing "bad vibes" tough shit. Deal with it. I've had to deal with years of alienation in a radical/progressive movement that is so dominated by privileged middle class people and their values, indulgent activist clowns, and lifestyle fadists. And it only gets worse with time. I am sick of it.
by Shane
Anarchist is not the only one who feels that way; in fact her/his opinion represents many many people. The antiwar "movement" in many ways is a joke, "activists" spend all of their time attending self-important rallies which don't get anything accomplished instead of writing letters, holding teach ins, and creatively resisting; and the self-appointed "leaders" of the "movement" (many of whom I've worked with and personally know) are only involved with their own egos and image.
It stinks that we can't just take this criticism and admit we have problems instead of silencing internal dissent; the fact that we can't take criticism is proof of the fact that our egos, and not the movement, are central to all of this.
And I think that stinks- I have better, more effective things to do than be part of ego masturbating.
Thanks. I am sure I could come up with more detailed and constructive criticism, but after yesterday I don't feel up to it and honestly don't care if I offend some of the 'nicer' activist's sensibilities. Sometimes people need to be challenged with some stone-cold honesty spoken from the gut.
I recognize that social movements are very much shaped by objective social conditions. Comparatively, the United States is an affluent society. There is poverty, unemployment, racism, sexism and exploitation everywhere you look. But it is managed in way that doesn't bring mass dissatisfaction to as boiling point. Much more so than most countries. And obviously there is the influence of the media and rightwing cultural hegmony too.
So I expect some level of affluence to reflected in our social movements (fuck's sake, even the bulk of labor movement has college-educated middle class people calling the shots!). I also expect many people to reflect the already existing marginalization cast on us by sinking further into subcultures (anarchists definitely included) and self-indulgent rebellion.
But yesterday was just too much for me. It was like a circus of everything I hate about leftist circles all out in full force. I saw many ordinary people check out the rally and walk away either confused or in disgust.
If I have to pass a fucking hippy drum circle, some droning Buddhists, some animal rights kids telling me about the plight of Chinese bears, and be assaulted by someone shoving a copy of Workers Vanguard in my face to get to a muddy patch of grass to hear five hours of depressing speeches and see all sorts of middle class liberals patting themselves on the back for a job well done... well fuck, I just can't do it anymore. I've reached a breaking point. I agree with alot of the people who snicker at when we march by them: SOME OF YOU SHOULD SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GET A JOB AND CHALLENGE YOUR PRIVILEDGES BEFORE YOU PREACH A BUNCH OF BULLSHIT TO OTHER PEOPLE. There, I said it.
And this is from someone with years of participation in left social movements and political circles. Someone who idenitifies as an anarchist, and is sympathetic to all movements against oppression and for liberation and social justice. Someone who isn't content passively talking about a better world being possible, but actually ready to fight for this world.
So basically, fuck, if people like me are being pushed away from progressive/radical movements, well that's a pretty sad state of things and it says nothing about all the yet-to-be-politicized people we are trying to appeal to.
disappointment and a bit of hope!
by one of the protesters
I came to the rally sunday hoping to get out on the streets and march, because that's where we have more power. Not in a park that we got a permit to be. I waited for hours with others, for the rally to end and a march to start. I was standing there with a group who was ready to go, but there were not nearly enough people to keep such a march going. I talked to so many people, they were willing to march, but the rally just kept going and going. When it was finally done, alot of people left. We did finally get the march going, but we were directed by the police. They blocked us. I hope for next time we can learn from Sunday. Mobalize sooner, with more force, and direct where we want to go. More people! more unity! more strength!

One working day Cyrle decided that he had had sufficient. He walked to the cage and, as typical, the monkey went nuts. Cyrle took a can of Ronson lighter fluid from one of the pockets in his fatigue trousers; the monkey, being curious, shut up and gave Cyrle a sideways appear. Cyrle lifted the can, filled his mouth, and then he popped open his zippo and fired it up while spitting the lighter fluid straight at the monkey. The ensuing fireball surrounded the monkey singing off much of his hair. Everyone received a least a good chuckle simply because we all understood that monkey deserved any bad thing that happened to him.

You can both set up your own "consumer replaceable part" with a small help from my extremely inexpensive mini guides or lug your device down to that costly computer restore store and let their geek-to-go replace it for you.
If the white items restore is simply a little broken fifty percent, like a shelf or deal with then a brand name new white items isn't extremely thought-about. These are even repairs the proprietor will do. Components are often requested from the manufacture that's specifically for that unit. Generally the elements are often discovered at components stores as well which can conserve transport costs.
Most individuals would inform you to go with the standard blue (#0000FF) or navy blue (#000080) for the AdSense title. I have attempted that as well, but I noticed a greater conversion following switching to regular red (#FF0000). The description ought to be a grayish color (#CCCCCC is what I use) and the URL can be (#b3b3b3), which is a very mild gray.
Check Freon ranges. This is not really a job for the inexperienced so for this part, ask your air conditioning repair seller for help. An air conditioner contains a set of small pipes that hold Freon. As warm air that arrives via the return vent blows across these pipes, the heat from the air is transferred into the liquid refrigerant, which causes it to boil. As it boils it modifications into a gasoline. A basic legislation of physics is that when a liquid boils and modifications into a gas, the gasoline requires the heat with it. When your Freon ranges are too low, cool air will fall short to be created. The AC repair store can do this for you instantly, just like Ken Barret Air Conditioning Repairs. The provide areas of Tampa, Carrollwood, Lutz, Temple Terrace, and Hillsborough. They also provide commercial fridge repair.


I'm just back from Argentina, where I failed to learn the Tango and consumed far too much Malbec and red meat than could possibly be healthy for one person. Stand by for updates on all manner of things personal and political.
In the meantime, I wanted to share some really great news. Those of you who've been reading this blog for some time will remember that not so long ago, I used to write for a women's blog on www.PoliticsDaily.com called Woman Up. It was a fabulous experience professionally, intellectually and socially and when it ended, there was a huge void in my life.
I'll be chiming in later today and tomorrow with a couple of my maiden posts on She The People, which will henceforth form part of my regular repertoire here on RealDelia.
But for now, please do stop by and check us out. I couldn't be more excited to be writing with this talented group of women.
We rock. We really and truly do.

Welcome home, Delia, and happy new year!
Congratulations Delia! Talent will out! Sighing with happiness.


For more project details visit the link [www.fimfiction.net].
* You stated that the project will use original characters. It sounds like the setting is only vaguely similar to the world of Friendship is Magic. That said, is crowdfunding appropriate for this project? Before considering using a crowdfunding service, read its rules and its copyright policy, and ask if you have questions.
* Make sure people can trust you. I say this because in the recent past, there was a project on Kickstarter called Dark Skyes. It was not clear whether it was a scam, whether the creators intended to finish it, or whether the final version would have NSFW content.
* If you choose to use Ren'py and you need assistance, then politely ask for help on Lemma Soft. Look through the discussion thread Requirements for Recruitment at http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=22143 first, and then read at least part of the Suggestions for Recruiters thread at http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=14462 .
* Consider how you'll approach the combination of romance and adventure. If the visual novel puts less emphasis on relationships, then how relevant are they? Also, how are the two linked? I have read some visual novels which combine romance and adventure to varying degrees of success. The last one which had both that I liked was the PSP/Vita-compatible game Sweet Fuse.
* Finally, consider what's currently being done with Pony Amnesia: Love and Mysteries, and Starswirl Academy. The former project takes place in the Friendshp is Magic universe, and promises to include both a general story and relationships. The latter project uses humanized characters, and promises to mix slice of life and romantic drama.
I've studied Media Law, the project scope I'm establishing fits within the legal boundaries. The cast, the setting, and story does not copy of existing material.
Yeah, trust is important when building the core team. I've had to already deny some applicants for their obvious free-loading tendencies. I'm looking for driven and reliable individuals. Other folks are welcomed to the "pre-reader" area.
I've heard of the Dark Skyes "debacle". The scammers were promising the moon. My own project is contained in scope with realistic expectations and we'll release a functional demo first. I'm actually the artist and project leader, so I have a vested interest in the project. The mercenary is only after money. Art takes blood, sweat, and tears. Not to mention time.
I'm taking a turn and breaking away from the procedural (frankly done to death) highschool setting. I plan to have unique locations fitting the fantasy world I've created.
Shadows of Shattered Dreams will be primarily character driven. Choices made in the initial moves will determine allies and foes to come. A major thematic message is to question the very nature of "friendship". Fair weather friends and superficiality will lead to protagonist death.
With the right team, I know we could make a worth while product.
Production is ongoing, but we're still recruiting. Released today, I would like to reveal some story details though. Shadows of Shattered Dreams is to be set in an apocalyptic scenario after a coalition invasion of multiple races is thwarted at a terrible cost. Looming above the day to day desperation will be the ever present encroach of decay. Friends and allies of one path will be enemies of another.

"6th Grade Plant Biology MCAS Preparation: an Interactive Qualifying Pr" by Christopher Carl Bailey-Gates, Laura Nicole Piccione et al.
In an effort to improve scores on the science portion of the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) and to renew children's interest in science, we developed a Plant Science unit and introduced this unit to the sixth grade of Flagg St. Elementary School (Worcester, MA). Our aim was to develop effective teaching materials including lesson plans, assignments, activities, exams, and study tools that were inexpensive and easily adoptable.

Tv No.1 Popular Actor Rajat Tokas Shares Pic From Hospital , Speak About Stress"
Actor Rajat Tokas, who became popular from house to house by playing the character of Akbar in TV's popular historical show Jodha Akbar, has made his fans very worried due to the sudden hospitalization. Rajat Tokas himself has shared the information about being in his hospital through his Instagram account. After which the fans have become very upset. Everyone wants to know that after all, what happened to TV's Akbar i.e. Rajat all of a sudden that it came to the point of getting him admitted to the hospital.
A post shared by Rajat (@rajattokas19)
While sharing his post, Rajat has pointed towards mental stress. Sharing his post, Rajat wrote in the caption – Stress will always be there in life. You just need to know In every situation, you have the option of how to respond otherwise your body will respond. Whenever you feel like you don't have time to relax, understand that those are the times when you need the most time to relax. I haven't had any injuries and nothing serious. And nothing has happened because of the workout. Hope i will get well soon
After this post of Rajat Tokas, the fans have come under tension that whether Rajat is a victim of depression. Fans are constantly wishing Rajat his recovery after this post. Let me tell you that Rajat has been away from TV for a long time. Even he is not very active in social media. After working in Jodha Akbar from 2013 to 2015, Rajat appeared in the role of Vikrant in Chandra Nandini, and Naagin 3. But after the end of the Naagin show, Rajat made a distance from the TV show.
In such a situation, the fans are also worried about the fact that if Rajat is really suffering from depression, then his depression is not due to not getting work. Well whatever it is, but seeing Rajat's post, now the fans are wishing him well. And with this, they are also waiting for their return on TV again.

BTS Songs with Best Lyrics
So, you also want to know which BTS songs have the best lyrics that can melt your heart? Scroll down to this post of BTS Songs with Best Lyrics and love BTS even more!
Top 10 BTS songs with good lyrics! Introducing all lyrics, especially lyrics that can touch your heart
BTS has challenged various music genres such as hip-hop, EDM, and ballads. It is sometimes said that the musicality has changed, but the stance of writing lyrics based on their own story has not changed. Therefore, many fans have sympathized with their lyrics, and all songs have been loved for a long time.
From such BTS songs, we will introduce 10 songs that fans especially say "Lyrics are good!":
#1 – Tomorrow
The lyrics of "Tomorrow" is about pursuing a dream, but the thoughts of BTS at the beginning of their debut, which was struggling with the current situation of not moving forward, are frankly expressed in the lyrics.
"Where am I heading?
Whether you go over there or over here, you will eventually come back here Oh,
I wonder if it will be washed away somewhere
I wonder if there is an end in this maze "
"No matter where you stand now, it's just a break
Don't give up, you know, don't go away tomorrow "
It's a song that inspires you not to give up, hoping that the coming tomorrow will change even a little, by comparing the unchanging everyday life to a maze where you can't see the exit.

#2 – Whalien 52
"Whalien 52" is a song based on "52 Hertz Whale", and it is said that its voice does not reach anyone because it has a frequency different from other whales, and it is also called the most lonely whale in the world. The lyrics that express loneliness by superimposing themselves on the whales have a feeling of sadness and beauty that makes your heart squeeze.
"Lonely and lonely whale singing a song alone like this
I wonder if the day will come when I, like an isolated island, will shine brightly. "
Hoping that one day someone will hear this voice, I'm struck by the appearance of trying to continue singing. And here are the lyrics that best describe loneliness.
"This sea is so deep, but I'm happy
No one notices even if she sheds tears. "
Everyone feels lonely because one has become an enviable singer, and is living with pain and sadness that no one can tell. One of the reasons why this song is loved by many people is that the lyrics are so touching that people who feel lonely can sympathize while singing about themselves.
#3 – 2!3!
The title is "2! 3! is a phrase that is also used to signal BTS greetings, isn't it? It seems that the lyrics say "I'll forget what I don't like when I give the signal of 1, 2, 3 " are used to signal their greetings.
"It's okay, forget about 1, 2, and 3
Erase all sad memories, hold hands and laugh
I hope there are still many good days in the future. "
Even if they and the fans listening to this song have sad or hard days, they hope that they will have a better day in the future.
#4 – A Supplementary Story: You Never Walk Alone
The message "You never walk alone" is in the title. BTS has sung many songs with the theme of loneliness until Hana-Sama Nenka, but in this song, the lyrics express that they are walking together, saying that they can laugh if ARMY is by their side at any time. ..
"Sometimes it's okay if it gets hurt or it's painful because you're by your side
You and I can laugh if you're with me. "
Also, the point of this song is that not only do they have ARMY, but also the message that ARMY also has BTS.
"I never walk alone, I feel the warmth from your connected hands
You never walk alone Feel me, you're not alone. "
#5 – Spring Day
"Spring Day," which begins with lyrics that make you feel like "I want to meet you," is a song about the feelings for people you can't meet now. The word "I want to meet you" is repeated in the song, and the straightforward expression stirs up even more sadness.
"I want to see you, I want to see you
How long should I wait and how many nights should I cross
Can I see you? Can I see you? "
But in the last part, the lyrics that give a glimpse of hope are also impressive.
"Morning will come again, and darkness, any season
It won't last forever, so this winter will come to an end so that the cherry blossoms will bloom."
The lyrics of seeing you again in Spring Day are very beautiful because the time you want to meet but can't is likened to winter, and this painful time is not eternal.

#6 – Answer: Love Myself
The theme of this song, which BTS has been working on for about two years, is "to love yourself," and through the lyrics, the message "the difficulty of loving oneself and still facing oneself" is included.
It is also known that this song is connected to the part of the speech given at the UN General Assembly, "The flaws and failures are ourselves, and the brightest star that depicts the constellation of life."
"Why are you just trying to hide into your mask?
Even the scars made by my mistake are all my constellations. "
The message of accepting your past mistakes and forgiving yourself is BTS-like and warm.
"I'm still learning how to love myself"
It's a very impressive song with a close-knit message to find out how to love yourself together through the song.
#7 – Magic Shop
"Magic Shop" has very impressive lyrics that are close to the hearts of the fans, and as the members said, it is a song filled with "love for ARMY".
"A day when I don't like being me
A day when I want to disappear forever
Let's make one door in your heart
If you open the door, this place will be waiting for you.
You can believe it. "
Even now that we have achieved "success", we are sympathizing with the listeners that we still have the same anxieties and weaknesses, but we are still surprised by the message "We have this place".
Also, the lyrics related to the contents of Namjun's Mento at WINGS Tour FINAL became a hot
"You gave me something important, so give yourself the best
Didn't you find me? Did you understand me? "
The lyrics encourage you not only to snuggle up but also to give yourself the best if you believe in yourself. BTS are wonderful!
#8 – Zero O'clock
The vocal line "Zero O'clock" is a song full of gentle lyrics that will comfort you when you listen to it at the end of the day. Namjoon, who was involved in writing the lyrics, often lay down in bed and wondered, "I wasn't wrong, but was something wrong?"
"Come home and lie down in bed
Think about it, was I wrong?
A busy night, suddenly looking at the clock, it's almost midnight."
"When the second and minute hands overlap, the world holds its breath for a while.
Zero O'clock and you will be happy "
Even if something goes wrong or you make a mistake, the gentle lyrics that wrap you up will make you happy at midnight when the day ends, isn't it? It seems that the next day is also thought to be a good day.
#9 – We are Bulletproof: The Eternal
"We are Bulletproof: the Eternal" is one of BTS and ARMY, which is the most suitable song for the album, which is said to be the culmination of seven years.
"Because we are both bulletproof (we have you)
Even if winter comes and someone blocks the way
We're bulletproof forever (we've reached paradise)"
"We're not seven, because you're here"
BTS and ARMY are one team, and the message is that they are going to paradise together.
It's a song that declares, "We're still here, we're going to go further," hoping for eternity, and Namjoon cried many times during the work process. It sounds like a song that BTS has a lot of love for.
#10 – Life Goes On
"Life Goes On," which begins with the lyrics "One day the world stopped," is a song that comforted many people who were confused by the fact that the world had changed completely.
"I wonder if there is an exit that I can't see ahead, I can't walk."
While sympathizing with the situation of being in the dark
"Close your eyes for a while, grab my hand here and run into that future."
"People say that the world has changed completely.
Fortunately, our relationship is still the same. "
Even so, the message that we will continue to live together and the lyrics that make us realize that there are things that do not change from a different perspective are wonderful. It seems that there are many fans who were saved by this song that can find hope in the endless situation.

The new Audi A3 Sedan
Look is sporty and edgy, but quintessentially Audi with distinctly shaped headlights
Audi's Multi Media Interface, with a seven-inch retractable screen
Differential air conditioning with sensors that detect heat
Sleek interiors and a panoramic sunroof
Two engine variants — 2-litre diesel, 143 bhpdiesel; 1.8 litre, 177 bhp petrol. Super responsive S-Tronic gear box
Diesel does 0-100kph in 8.6 seconds, petrol in 7.3 seconds; top speed of 224kph
Fuel economy of 20.3 kmpl for diesel and 16.6 kmpl for petrol
Expected to be priced much lower than Audi A4, which costs Rs 28 lakh (ex-showroom Mumbai)
The Audi A3 has been around since the 1990s. It was Audi's answer to the demand for a sporty small car in Europe. At first, it was a three-door sports hatch. Over time, it grew to a five-door hatch. And, this year, the Audi A3 has grown into a full-fledged sedan and is making waves around the globe, having been voted World Car of the Year at the New York Auto show this April. In India, the new A3 will be the first Audi car to be fully made locally. It will go head to head with the BMW 1-series and the Mercedes A-Class, both of which are pure hatchbacks.
It doesn't take more than a glance at the new A3 to see the Audi bloodline. The front grille and the distinctly shaped headlights are quintessential Audi. Designers at Audi have really worked their magic to ensure this A3 sedan looks like a sporty fastback, as its predecessors, by extending the roofline and tucking in the boot. The sculpted front fender, signature headlights and integrated rear spoiler give it that edgy look.
The interiors will feel quite familiar if you've driven one of Audi's bigger cars. Simple yet elegant, the top of the line A3 that I drove was equipped with brand's trademark Multi Media Interface (MMI) system. A seven-inch retractable screen sits in the centre of the dash. The MMI's equipped with navigation, can pair up easily with your mobile device, offers 20GB of multimedia storage and also doubles up as your parking assistant when you stick the A3 in reverse. It is equipped with a differential air conditioning system; sensors in the glass detect heat and turn up the cooling on whichever side of the car receives more heat. The interiors, it goes without saying, are superbly finished, and the panoramic sunroof makes the A3 feel bright and roomy.
From behind the wheel, it is very evident that this is a driver's car. The A3 I drove had a 143-bhp, 2-liter diesel engine (it will also be available in a 1.8-litre, 177-bhp petrol version) and a super responsive S-tronicgear box. Stick it in S and watch the needle rise to a 100kph in just 8.6 seconds. The A3 is capable of getting all the way to 224 kph, and what's astonishing is that after all of this, it still returns a decent fuel economy figure of 20 kilometres per litre. Ride quality on the A3 is exceptionally good, and the car, despite being designed for European roads, can deal with the challenges Indian ones pose. I hit a series of ruts and potholes at speed, and the car absorbed all of it without a fuss. Only the really sharp, nasty potholes gave the A3 any problems. The handling is neutral, and, even at high speeds, the body roll on the A3 is minimal.
The new A3 is slated to be launched in India in the beginning of August 2014 and is expected to be priced competitively – basically, somewhere between BMW's 1-series and the Mercedes A-class, but less expensive than Audi's own A4, which costs Rs 28 lakh (ex-showroom Mumbai). Considering you get a fun-to-drive, extremely well built, feature-rich sedan with a 425-litre boot, it won't be hard to convince the wife which car is going to be your next one.

What Am I Doing With My Life? Find Your Answer Here
Tracy Kennedy
Lifehack's Personal Development Expert, a results-driven coach dedicated to helping people achieve greater levels of happiness and success. Read full profile
"What am I doing with my life?" As a life coach and business consultant, I hear this question – or some version of it – all the time. Those asking the question are likely facing one of a couple scenarios.
One, you wake up one morning and find yourself in a job you hate, a relationship you don't want to be in, or a life that has little resemblance to the one you had imagined. You might be feeling low, filled with frustration, shame, or regret. This is not where you wanted to be at this time in your life…it's not the life you wanted to live.
Or maybe you don't feel unhappy or lost, but you wake up and realize you want something more, new, or different. You may have accomplished many of the things you'd imagined for your life, and now you're trying to figure out what to do next.
My job as a coach and consultant is to support my clients to be happier, more successful and fulfilled. To help them get from where they are to where they want to be, uncovering obstacles along the way. This usually involves working through a process and asking powerful questions so they can discover the answers to their biggest questions – including this one.
What's Wrong With Your Life?
One of the very first things I share with my clients is this: you don't have to figure out what you want to do with the entire rest of your life!
You don't have to work out what you want to be when you "grow up" or discover your entire life's purpose. You don't have to commit to a career for the next 20 years. I see so many people paralyzed by thinking they must work everything out for the entire rest of their lives. Of course, they feel stressed and overwhelmed!
Instead, focus on identifying what's next. At this age, in this stage, facing your current circumstances and ideas of personal development. I'm not saying this won't be attached to a bigger vision, but that doesn't mean you have to have the whole plan right now. I love MLK's quote:
"You don't have to see the whole staircase, you just have to take the first step."
The same is true for figuring out what you're doing with your life.
How to Answer the Question – What Am I Doing with My Life?
Back to the question. Let's look at a couple of my recent clients.
Sabine* was a smart, successful, vibrant woman. She already had several successful jobs during her career, traveled the world, had a family, and was settling back in a new city. While she originally called wanting to take her business to the next level, we soon realized that wasn't what she really needed or wanted.
She was trying to figure out what she was doing with her life. For her, this meant realizing she had lost her sense of self. While no one would know from the outside, she was feeling overwhelmed, lost, and unsure of herself. She was doing all the "right" things for everyone around her, but she wasn't doing all the right things for her.
Together, we were able to help Sabine:
Get a clear picture of what she wanted for this next stage in her life.
Align her life and actions with her value and priorities.
Remember who she was and feel more like herself than she had in years.
Regain confidence and take action on things she had been avoiding.
Gain motivation, self-trust, and security in her decisions.
Then, there's Max*. Incredibly smart, fun and motivated, Max had successfully climbed up through his career ladder and was happily married with his first child. Life was good.
He came to me because he was in the second scenario; Max was trying to figure out what he wanted to do next. Even though he had a great job, he was looking for more – something new, different, challenging and interesting.
In our time together, Max was able to:
Identify his priorities and what was important in this next stage of life (and what wasn't).
Pinpoint several new career options.
Uncover and work through old, limiting beliefs and thought patterns.
Start exploring potential new careers.
Here's the process and the questions I walked through with Sabine and Max. Following these will help you make progress towards identifying what you're doing with your life too:
Whenever you're asking "What am I doing with my life?", it's important to take a step back, look at the big picture, and identify what you want. Frankly, if you don't know what you want, how do you expect to get it?
This seems simple, yet it's often quite hard to address. When I ask this question, people often tell me what they don't want or what's not working. They've gotten into the habit of making decisions based on what's best for their career, friends and family, or others and forget to think about what they want for themselves[1].
Sabine originally thought she wanted to "take her business to the next level," but when she dug deeper, she realized there was so much more. She ultimately found that she wanted to feel like herself again; to feel secure, trust and assert herself, and regain her sense of self.
Max wanted to love what he was doing. He wanted to be in a career (or role) that he was energized and "jazzed" about.
Your Turn:
What do you want? Get specific.
Is it a new career in which you feel excited and energized? A relationship where you feel honored and loved? To be confident and happy with yourself? To live in a particular place or to explore the world?
Maybe, like Sabine, when you think you have your answer, ask yourself, "what else?" and see what comes up.
Once you are clear on what you want, you can move to the next question.
Step 2: Who Are You?
Self-awareness and a little soul searching is critical for success – especially when you're trying to figure out what you're doing with your life.
Understanding yourself at a deeper level and making decisions based upon those insights will ensure that whatever you choose to do next is something that will make you happier, more successful, and more fulfilled. It will make sure that your next step is a step in the right direction, not just another step.
While I take my clients through a series of many questions, here are a few of my favorites:
What is most important to you right now?
What are your core values? What are the beliefs, guiding principles, or ideas that are deeply important to you? Which ones are you off track with?
What are your passions? What gets you engaged, motivated, excited?
What are your skills and talents? Which would you like to use going forward?
What is your wish list? What do you want and need in your life/career/relationship? This might include the type of environment you thrive in, people you want to be surrounded by, or something you want in a role.
What is the impact or difference you want to make? How do you want to serve, contribute or add value?
What do you NOT want? While you don't want to spend too much time in this space, it's as important to be aware of what you don't want as much as what you do!
In her soul searching, Sabine identified that she needed to find and surround herself with her "people," uncovered what she needed to feel safe and secure, learned she needed to delegate more, and discovered that her direct approach was getting in her way.
Max realized what was most important to him at this stage of his life, identified the limiting beliefs that were getting in his way, learned to stop comparing himself to others, and realized how important it was to infuse humor and joy into his everyday life.
Grab a journal. Ask yourself these questions and allow the time and space to discover the answers.
Write everything down. Then, review what you wrote and highlight or circle what stands out or resonates the most. These are what you want to pay attention to as you move forward and think about what you're doing next with your life.
Then, with a little soul-searching under your belt, it's time to move on to step 3.
Step 3: What Are Your Options?
If you're asking "What am I doing with my life?" you're clearly not happy where you are. You know you want something else. But what is that "something"? This question allows you to explore your potential options.
At this point, it's not about deciding the one thing or making the right choice; it's about allowing your creative mind to expand and see all the possibilities.
If you hate your career, what new potential careers are on your mind? If you're unhappy in your relationship, what can you do? If you're feeling like you need change or an adventure, what could those possibly be?
Brainstorm ALL your options without worrying about whether they are possible or not (just yet). Make a list and keep asking yourself….what else? This allows you to dig deeper and see opportunities you might have otherwise not explored.
What are all of your possible options at this point in time? Don't limit them if you can't see how it's possible, just get all your ideas out on paper.
Once you have your list of options, then you can move to the next step.
Step 4: Which Options Are the Best Fit Right Now?
Okay, so you have your list of options and possibilities. Now it's time to narrow it down and explore those options in a little more depth.
Once Max had a complete list of potential career options (including advancing in his current role), he narrowed the list down to the top most interesting and compelling opportunities. We then worked through each of those in greater depth.
A fantastic way to do this is to envision your life "as if" you were in that new role/situation/relationship.
Max imagined himself living the life in his new career options. First, he imagined himself as an REI employee. Yes, he had grown a beard and was drinking from a metal mug.
But the next question was even more important. I asked him how he felt. He said while he was excited to be outdoors more, he realized he wouldn't be fulfilled in that role. He definitely didn't feel "jazzed."
We went through all his options, envisioning what life would be like in each role until he found the one in which he felt the most connected. We could both feel a shift in his energy immediately…he was on to something.
Go back to your options list and circle the 1-3 that you feel most connected to, energized by, or engaged with. You'll want to make sure those options fit what you want (question 1) and who you are (question 2).
Once you have a short list, imagine your life as if you took that as your next step. What would you think, feel, hear, and see? Does it feel good? You can also do some research at this point to learn more about each of your options.
Then, armed with information and an idea of the next best option for you, it's time to move on to the next question.
Step 5: What's Stopping You?
This is a big one. As you explore your options, it's likely you may come up against some barriers.
Perhaps you have fears or limiting beliefs of what you can or can't do or what someone said you were capable of. Maybe it's lack of self-esteem or confidence.
When these come up, it doesn't mean the option is wrong; it just means you need to dig a bit further to find out what's going on. It's important to explore what's getting in your way.
With Max, he was being held back by a deep, long-time belief that he wasn't good enough – that he wasn't capable of taking on a higher level, higher risk role. We worked together until he could move past this perception and on to his next step.
Think about what's getting in your way or stopping you from moving forward. Once again, don't stop at your first answer. Ask yourself "what else?" until you identify what's getting in your way.
Then, it's time to move to the last question.
Step 6: What Can You Do to Move Forward?
You've narrowed down and explored your options, and now it's time to take action to get past asking yourself "What am I doing with my life?" I know this part is hard.
What if it isn't right? What if there is something else out there? What if it's the worst decision I ever make?
These are all real and good questions, but not if they stop you from moving forward towards a more fulfilling life[2]. If you're feeling hesitant about taking the next step, let me give you a different way to look at it.
If you're unhappy where you are now, what is the bigger risk: staying where you are out of fear of doing the wrong thing OR moving forward and seeing where it leads you? It's better to rock the boat than to die sinking in it, right?
Once you've decided, it's time to act. What's your first step? Take it.
Give yourself a deadline, a timeline, or a goal to make it happen so you can move from ideas to reality.
Make a decision about which option is best for you to move forward into the life you want. Then, take the first step towards that option. Then, the next and the next one after that.
Take a look at these 10 Strategies to Keep Moving Forward When Feeling Stuck.
So, what are YOU doing with your life?
Just the sheer fact that you're asking yourself what you're doing with your life is a step in the right direction. A mentor of mine always said that 90% of solving a problem is awareness that it exists. You know you need to do something.
Now, if you're serious about moving forward, it's time to take the time and put in the effort and answer the questions above. Then, like Sabine and Max, be willing to take action, even if you're not exactly sure how it's going to play out.
It's your life, and, yes, it can be everything you've imagined.

Preserving the Elizabethan Compromise
I often enjoy (and agree with) the essays of the Rev. Canon Dr. Giles Fraser. His latest Church Times commentary is especially interesting, as Fraser provides insight into the Church of England that is not obvious to Episcopalians. In his essay "It's still time to stick together," Fraser offers the following analysis:
The Church of England is the original big tent. The idea was that those English Catholics who didn't want to look to Rome would agree with the moderate Puritans to disagree about doctrine. They would concentrate instead on worship, kneeling together in the parish church, united in common prayer. This peace treaty created the English distrust of doctrine and -isms. These were the stuff of revolution and the Continent. In our stolid empirical way, we would get on with prayer, and leave the doctrine to God.
But things are different now. For one thing, over the past few decades and in the name of diversity, we have been given permission to worship in a variety of different ways, with little uniting thread. Some flap their hands towards an overhead projector; others throw incense at statues to the rhythms of the Roman missal. Fresh Expressions is the latest fig-leaf for liturgical anything goes.
Also, in a more recent development, the Puritans have discovered an alternative life-support machine for their 17th-century Calvinism: the Anglican Communion—somewhere where the peace-treaty approach has never made any sense.
These observations follow the General Synod debates over women bishops and the demand that provisions be made for those who cannot accept such an innovation. In other words, the English Catholics want to retreat into their own exclusive enclave.
Fraser continues:
All of this raises the question whether the peace-treaty model is viable any more, even in England. Could it not be argued that yoking together such different theological sensibilities in one Church is actually a recipe for continual civil war?
Fraser ducks his own question and declares, without any real argument, that "[h]aving furious rows is no reason to give up on our togetherness."
I'm not so reckless as to offer advice to the Church of England regarding how it should deal with its internal conflicts. (My inclination is to say do the right thing and let the Puritans and Catholics deal with it, but I might be missing something here.) It is interesting, however, that the Elizabethan Compromise of worshiping in a uniform way and avoiding interminable doctrinal arguments has degenerated, in the mother country of Anglicanism, into worshiping in very different ways and getting bogged down in irresolvable theological disputes, whether directly or by proxy. The failure to revise the prayer book since 1662 is surely important here, though whether as a cause or a symptom of the Church of England's problems I cannot say.
The Episcopal Church is more diligent about revising its prayer book, but the trends of expanding liturgical diversity and increasing doctrinal conflict are certainly discernible in our church. I think they are less prominent here, but it must be admitted that schism, at least in the immediate past, has been more of a problem for The Episcopal Church than for the Church of England. Hedge your bets on future developments, however.
I believe that a stable Anglicanism requires the limiting of liturgical diversity and a kind of don't-ask-don't-tell approach to doctrine. It also requires that canonical liturgy (or liturgies) be seen as relevant and contemporary. Non-standard worship and extreme theology seem to go hand-in-hand. It is certainly true, in any case, that many of the congregations that have left The Episcopal Church, reputedly over doctrinal issues, worship in a style that would make the average Episcopalian feel uncomfortable and out-of-place.
There is an object lesson here.

More than 76,000 chinook salmon of Canadian origin made, or at least attempted, the arduous journey up the Yukon River in 2018, a run slightly larger than the five-year average but still well below historical records.
And the 2019 run is forecasted to look the same, if not smaller.
Those were among the findings shared April 9 as part of the Yukon River Panel's 2019 pre-season meeting in Whitehorse.
The panel consists of representatives from both the Yukon and Alaska, who typically meet twice a year to discuss chinook salmon management, among other things.
Two officials representing both sides — Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) senior stock assessment biologist Joel Harding and Alaska Department of Fish and Game assistant area research biologist Fred West — presented data on 2018 chinook outcomes and the 2019 forecast during a joint presentation at the Kwanlin Dün Cultural Centre.
The data was also part of a report released by the Yukon River Joint Technical Committee late last month.
The 2018 chinook salmon run totalled 76,530 fish of Canadian origin, falling within but on the lower end of the forecasted run of 71,000 to 103,000. While that's about five per cent above the five-year average of roughly 73,000 Canadian-origin fish, it's still far below the historical average of 158,000, West told attendees.
In the end, 54,474 chinook made it to their spawning grounds, exceeding the Canadian spawning escapement target of 48,750 and falling within the Yukon River Panel's interim management escapement goal (IMEG) range of 42,500–55,000 fish.
Alaskans harvested 19,266 chinook in 2018, while on the Canadian side, Yukon First Nations caught 2,789. One additional fish was accidentally caught on the Canadian side by a commercial business fishing the fall chum salmon run.
In a separate but related presentation on Canadian management strategies, DFO assistant fishery manager Jesse Trerice noted that, per the international agreement governing chinook harvesting, Yukon First Nations were entitled to harvest up to 8,800 fish in the 2018 season.
"It's not for a lack of interest or engagement in that fishery," he said.
Under the international agreement, the U.S. is entitled to 77 per cent of total Canadian-origin chinook harvest, with Canadians entitled to the remaining 23 per cent.
Canada's chinook management strategy prioritizes conservation and reaching spawning escapement goals. When it comes to harvest, Yukon First Nations come first.
Only if the run is estimated to be strong enough that Yukon First Nations could, in theory, fish their full allocation without negatively affecting conservation efforts would allocations then be handed out to sport, commercial and domestic fishers.
That hasn't happened in years, Trerice said.
The forecast for the 2019 run is predicting a run similar or smaller than the 2018 run, biologists West and Harding said, with an estimated 69,000 to 99,000 Canadian-origin chinook anticipated to make the journey from the Bering Sea.
That estimate is the average of a total of three models, including one called the juvenile model, Harding said, which involves counting the number of juvenile Canadian-origin chinook salmon currently in the Bering Sea.
Juveniles hatched in 2015 and 2016 are expected to be the primary contributors to the 2019 run, Harding said, and those two years were considered "better" than usual, with juvenile abundance above average. Using that model alone, the 2019 run is forecasted to be 77,000 to 150,000.
The other two models that factors into estimating run size are the spawner-recruitment model (basically, parent-to-spawn) and the siblings model, which is based on the age of fish relative to each other. The numbers from those two models are averaged out first before the total is then averaged with the juvenile model.
While chinook salmon run sizes have been gradually increasing since 2013, the juvenile model is forecasting a peak in 2019, Harding said, with a dramatic decline in 2020 and 2021.
Responding to a question from a panel member, Harding said that there are still several factors not accounted for when estimating a run size — for example, officials "don't have a very good handle" on the impact of increasingly "volatile and extreme" weather conditions on migration and spawning.
Another factor not taken into account, Harding said, is that female fish are getting smaller, and with smaller fish come smaller eggs and smaller fry, which has a direct correlation with the fry's survival.

How to Wear a Vest Without Looking Like "Vest Guy"
You've already got your beloved Marty McFly-ish puffy vest, but its lighter, much-less-puffy cousin can be worn just as easily under a blazer or denim jacket as over a T-shirt or henley. It simultaneously dresses and toughens you up, but the trick is not looking like that try-hard guy who thinks a vest is a one-way ticket to Style City, USA. That means not going all-out workwear dandy (like taking the pinstripe vest from your three-piece suit) or rustic fisherman (like raiding grandpa's closet). Simply get one in a slim fit without too many pockets or buttons. At the very least, it'll be the perfect way to slyly cover up that stain on your shirt.

Champions For Peace Athletes Pivotal to Peace and Sport Success
Written by Brian Pinelli in Monaco. Read original article.
Other marquee Champions for Peace athletes attending the 2017 Peace and Sport International Forum in Monaco this week include distance running greats Paula Radcliffe, Wilson Kipketer, and Tegla Loroupe, Swedish skier Pernilla Wiberg, Hungarian kickboxer Zsolt Moradi and French taekwondo star Pascal Gentil. Although not in Monaco, South African rugby union legend Francois Pienaar is the latest high profile athlete to become a 'Champion for Peace.'
Mesler, who founded the non-profit organization Classroom Champions in 2010 shortly after winning a gold medal at the Vancouver Winter Olympics, delivered an insightful, animated and humorous presentation to the diverse group of delegates attending the 10th Peace and Sport International Forum in Monaco this week.
The primary goal of Mesler's Classroom Champions is to connect students in under-served schools with athletes who can become resources for teaching goal setting, perseverance and dreaming big. Technology is key to the program's success and longevity.
"There is this draw to athletes and there always has been, but now all of sudden our kids are getting to know them better through a digital nature," said the U.S. bobsledder and three-time Olympian.
Mesler emphasizes that unlike many athlete and student engagements, Classroom Champions is not a one-time deal. Athletes mentor and build relationships over an extended period of time through Skype, social media and other correspondence with the children.
"Companies pay athletes tens of thousands of dollars to speak to their executives and our kids get an athlete assigned to them for the whole year, and they're getting that a dozen or 15 times during the years and so are the teachers, so that is the neatest part of the journey," Mesler said.
"We're using video, Skype, social media and every electronic means necessary and you'll see athletes like Elana Meyers Taylor, who might be in Korea and she has 10 classrooms that she is connecting with back in the U.S. and she does this throughout the entire school year," Mesler said of his fellow U.S. bobsledder.
U.S. basketball star Sue Byrd and Olympic hurdling medalist David Oliver were among the first Classroom Champion participants in 2011, mentoring some 625 students. Numerous National Football League players, including members of the Buffalo Bills, are now involved with the program.
Classroom Champions reached two milestones in 2017 as the total number of students mentored rose above 25,000 and the 100th athlete became affiliated with the program.
Peace and Sport founder Joel Bouzou praised the Champions for Peace athletes for their cooperation and dedication over the ten years that Peace and Sport has been in existence. Approximately 40 Champions for Peace are attending the 2017 Forum, highlighted by Ivory Coast soccer legend Didier Drogba.
"The athletes are role models, they can inspire and drive kids to join sport," Bouzou said, speaking to a roundtable of reporters at the Monaco Forum.
"It is important to say that champions are very pragmatic and they are big dreamers," Bouzou said. "They are pragmatic and very realistic to achieve their goals as champions. But they are also like that in life so to motivate a champion you cannot make them only dream about peace, you have to show that if they are involved, there will be results and once the results start they get more motivation.
"Didier is a perfect example – if I come to the Ivory Coast with Didier Drogba a lot of the kids in the country will be inspired (to play sport)," said the French Peace and Sport leader. "He is a world star. I had a dream to have Didier Drogba join the organization, but I didn't call him, he joined us by himself."
Bouzou noted that all Champions for Peace athletes must sign an ethics agreement and none has ever been sanctioned for a doping violation.
Referring to the entire group of Champions for Peace Bouzou said: "They are very important and useful within Peace and Sport, because growing their number and growing their caliber – and I'm not ranking them by notoriety – but altogether we have a fantastic mix which produces a lot of good results."
