Suddeutsche Zeitung: "The Game of Hundred Leaves" is even more dense than the powerful "Book of Whispers"!
26 ianuarie 2017. Suddeutsche Zeitung: "Jocul celor o sută de frunze" este chiar mai densă decât puternica poveste a "Cărții șoaptelor!"
Traducerea in limba engleză:
The revenge of the shadows
Varujan Vosganian's new novel "Das Spiel der hundert Blätter" ("The Game of One Hundred Leaves") is a skilful blend of feisty grotesque and concrete politics. He tells of revenge and self-assertion in Romania.
By Hans-Peter Kunisch
Tili has a special job. He is a puppet name. He closes his eyes, then he opens them again, sees the new doll, which the puppeteer holds up, and tells him what to say. Tili only works "one hour a day, when the sun is at noon, and the light that flows in from all directions at the same time did not allow any thing to cast shadows." Tili had asked for it. "Otherwise I can not work … The shadows hide the core of things, and the electric light dries them out." The names do not have to be beautiful, just fit. "Krummerjan," says Tili. The doll maker bends the doll slightly more straight. "Krummerjan," Tili still says. When "lines follow you," he says, "they are crooked."
Here a mixture of lazy grotesque and politics succeeds
In the summer of 2013 Varujan Vosganian's Romanian-Armenian family epic "The Book of Whispering" appeared in German with great success. The details of the author refer mainly to the fact that Vosganian, who was born in Craiova in 1958, was from 2006 to 2008 Romanian Finance and Economy Minister. From 2012 to 2013 he was Minister of Trade and Industry. He did not mention the fact that he had worked for a long time. The economist and simple parliamentary deputy debuted in 1994 with a collection of poems, further books, including two lyric volumes, followed.
ROMANIA-EU COMMISIONER-VARUJAN VOSGANIAN
Literary even more dense than his predecessor is Varujan Vosganian's second novel "The Game of the Hundred Leaves". (Photo: AFP)
Vosganian's new novel "The Game of One Hundred Leaves", published in the Romanian original in 2013, is literally woven even more densely than the powerful "book of whispers", which was also the attempt of an Armenian, the contemporary misery of his people Known. "The Game of One Hundred Leaves" takes little care of any purpose. This begins with the eccentric main characters. Besides Tili, there is Jenica, the unfortunate kiosk salesman trying to get rid of the lottery, and Maca wearing a leather jacket, riding a motorcycle and chatting around. He is also older. All three know each other from childhood. Before 1989 they were machine engineers, at a company that no longer exists. Now they are painterly-scrambled figures on the fringe of society.
Vosganian succeeds in a powerful mixture of feather-like grotesque, which comes from Romanian surrealism, and concrete politics. It is not just about unemployment. The three former engineers know one thing: they were once four. Luca was one of them, but he was shot dead by the Securitate. For a long time nothing has happened. Luca was gone, the others were trying to survive. But now is the time of opening the files. Tili goes there. There must be no copying, a watchdog is there, but it comes out who has betrayed Luca. Very simple: the police officer.
What then happens drives the event into a much darker atmosphere and new literary heights. Suddenly the friends decided to take revenge. Vosganian describes how the three bizarre losers who were tortured after Lucas's disappearance are driven by the shadows of the past, become "shadows" themselves, mocking the old, evil Securitate man, driving him into the narrow. In the end they scare him before the only international train that crosses the small town. A ghostly scenario, dramaturgical and as a mood painting already a small masterpiece.
Then one's own violence reverts to the friends themselves
The Atonement succeeds. But now that it is clear that betrayal and violence only provoke further violence, helps the three little. Their own violence now turns against them. They are insecure, suffer from delusions. Two commit, adventurously metaphorical and real, suicide: Jenica disappears in the dark room of his mysterious father; Maca tries to stab his shadow against the wall. Until he realizes that he has to take a different approach. Only one of the three survived: Tili, the doll's name, who also gave the name to the informer. He becomes melancholic, but in a peculiarly unshakable manner.
And because in the showdown of this wonderfully bizarre shadow play suddenly the other characters appear as dolls, to whom Tili names, he becomes, together with the doll maker, in the end still an unexpected writer metaphor. In this book, Vosganian follows an individual aesthetic of the detours, which, in her action and linguistic imagination, seem to amuse herself amid the streamlined form of the modern literature. In the end, she finds a last elegant turn. Ernest Wichner, like the "Book of the Whisper", has also translated this novel into a very beautiful German prose.

WWE Backstage To Return For One Night Only This Friday
By Marc Middleton/Updated: Dec. 8, 2020 6:03 pm EST
WWE Backstage is returning to FS1 for one night only this Friday night.
WWE has just announced that a special one-hour edition of the WWE Backstage studio show will air this Friday night, live from the WWE ThunderDome at the Amway Center in Orlando. The show will air at 10pm ET after SmackDown goes off the air. The SmackDown replay will then air at 11pm ET.
As noted, Friday's SmackDown episode will air on FS1 for one night only due to Game 3 of the MLB World Series airing on FOX.
WWE Backstage aired from November 2019 through mid-March of this year after production was stopped due to the COVID-19 pandemic. FOX Sports then announced in June that the show was no longer airing.
Backstage was hosted by Renee Young and WWE Hall of Famer Booker T, with appearances by analysts such as CM Punk, Paige, Christian, and others. There's no word yet on who will host the show this Friday night.
Stay tuned for more on WWE programming on FS1 this Friday night. Below is the current line-up for SmackDown:
* The go-home build for Hell In a Cell
* Will SmackDown Women's Champion Bayley sign her contract for the Hell In a Cell match with Sasha Banks?
* WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns delivers final message to cousin Jey Uso before Hell In a Cell

Mark's pick: Specialized Don't Boost
My pick is the story we ran on how Specialized have shunned Boost 148 on their Stumpjumper range, with the exception of the 6Fattie, where they told us the choice of the new rear axle and hub standard came down to one of tyre clearance rather than any wheel stiffness benefits. I think it's an interesting reflection of the whole 'standards' issue that two of the giants of the bike industry clearly have differing philosophies on bike development at the moment. If it really was just a matter of cash generation then surely Specialized would be all over the new standard like a rash too, just like Trek. The fact they aren't suggests to me that there's more thought going in to at least some of these new standards than just how much cash they can generate. I'm an optimist and I think it's healthy that there's differing approaches from different companies. I'm looking forward to seeing how the whole Boost148 thing develops.
Jenn's pick:
Two news stories stood out for me this week. The first is this opinion piece from the New Statesman, in which Jan Morris suggests that Everest is returned to the state of holiness and dignity in which it existed before it became the ultimate adventurer's tick. Morris was sent by the Times to cover Edmund Hillary's successful Everest expedition in 1953; while she acknowledges that she's played a part in mythologising the mountain among climbers, she now believes that it should be returned to its Sherpa keepers and be universally respected as a deity, as well as a memorial to the thousands of people who died in the recent earthquakes in Nepal. If, as Mallory claimed, we climb mountains simply "because they're there", then it's just as easy not to climb them – especially when, as is the case with Everest, that climbing exacts a heavy toll on the environment we want to experience. Interesting stuff.
My second pick is not a single piece but an event which dominated the outdoor media: the deaths of Dean Potter and Graham Hunt during a wingsuit flight in Yosemite. While both men were well-known BASE jumpers, Potter was also famous for his free climbing and high-lining exploits, which brought him to the attention of a much wider audience – and that's how I knew of him, too. When a well-known personality dies while doing something like wingsuit flying – which, superficially at least, appears to be one of the most dangerous things you can do with your time – there will always be news stories along the lines of 'sad but unsurprising'. What struck me about Potter's death – and it's what I admired most about him in life, too – is that there have been just as many pieces which sidestepped the maudlin inevitability of his death and instead focused on the calm and analytical way in which he approached the irresistible draw of free and often dangerous movement in the mountains, described in this piece by Alpinist editor Katie Ives as "singular luminous moments, separate from the regular course of existence and difficult to describe".
Mortality is a given. It's what you do before you get there that makes life count.
Barney's pick:
And here are some gloriously over the top jumps! There is no reason – they're just ace.

There are many college students who have a few financial responsibilities and they need to be able to find a good summer job in order to pay the bills.
In this article, we are going to be talking about ten summer jobs for college students that you can consider this year.
This is not a job for the impatient as having to look after a kid can require a large amount of tolerance and a great deal of patience too. If you are good with kids, this is a great way to make some extra money.
If you are a person who likes to take care of their body and you love exercise, you could start doing some personal training and help other people get in shape too. This is the kind of job that allows you to earn money and you also feel great because you are helping other people stay healthy.
The modern world allows you to become a cab driver without owning a cab thanks to the use of a platform like Uber. If you own a vehicle that is in good shape, you will get excellent results by using this app. An Uber driver can make full time income in just a few hours of driving each day, so keep that in mind.
You can always get a job at the local mall in one of the many stores that they have. This is always a good job because you can look for a store that sells things you like and it will make it easier for you to work there if you enjoy it.
This is not the kind of job you want to have on a permanent basis, but it's a good one for the summer and you earn extra for your sales in some telemarketing jobs too. A great thing about telemarketing is that it helps you develop a thicker skin when dealing with difficult people.
This can also be a very fun job to have during the summer and you will be able to ride the attractions for free as an employee in most of these places.
Are you a good swimmer with knowledge on basic CPR and rescue? If that is the case, you will be able to get a job as a lifeguard in most local beaches and pools. Being a lifeguard is no picnic and you are going to get in relatively dangerous situations from time to time on busy and crowded beaches, so make sure you have what it takes for this kind of job.
Most people love dogs and this makes dog walking a very good job to get for the summer. Just remember that the dogs are your responsibility while you walk them.
You will have plenty of fun hiking, camping and telling horror stories to the campers at night by the fire. This is definitely a very good job to have during the summer.
If you have skills with serving drinks, you might want to try to get a job as a bartender at a bar or for local events. You can learn some tricks and become a flair bartender too. They get paid much more for their tricks.
There are many kinds of jobs that you can get during the summer. The important thing is to remember that the extra cash is going to help you pay your bills and it's a good way to stay busy during the summer.

REVIEW STORE: Did you enjoy Sonya's short story? Please tell her so. We know she will appreciate
your feedback. CLICK HERE to write a review of "In My Dreams".
At peace now. Her hair falling gently onto her shoulders. Although no longer jet black, it had stood the
test of time and to some might be considered quite beautiful. As were her high cheek bones and full
mouth. She was covered up to her neck with a single arm resting peacefully outside the white sheets
and thin, light-blue blanket. Underneath was the once tall, lithe body of a powerful an intimidating
woman. The small room at Saint Vincent's Hospital seemed to glow in the fading daylight of summer and
hummed with the quiet, resonant sounds of her life-preserving respirator.
Behind her ebony eyes was a scene of youthful exuberance and love. Sunlight danced through the
swaying Crape Myrtle trees on her front lawn and his voice had come to her soft as a summer breeze.
He was such a beautiful man with almost feminine features in his face and thin waist, but the thick chest
and powerful arms and legs of a well-tuned athlete. "I'll see you in my dreams, hold you in my dreams,"
he had been humming.
They had been friends since the eighth grade, dated steadily through high school and become lovers in
college. She had sat upon the concrete seats in the football stadium where he had thrown his touchdown
passes and he had sat in the wooden bleachers where she had made her free-throws and field goals.
Their campuses only a few miles apart.
Their only separation had come during his time in Vietnam, but even then their letters had bound them
forever together. Each vowing eternal love to the other. Which could not last, for he had kept going back
again and again only to return a broken and bitter warrior overwhelmed by her betrayal. She had taken
up with a stranger.
The years had left both barren. Childless and homeless with little to be thankful for other than a sad
memory or two and an occasional encounter with others of the night like themselves. He had lost both
legs to a trip mine in Vietnam and spent years in rehabilitation, ending in a iron wheelchair. She had
stayed with a man who fed her drugs and beat her into submitting to his will. Her current condition a
trailer of his vicious attacks.
Fifty years later he had seen her picture in their hometown newspaper with a caption that identified
her and others who needed monetary help to sustain their care at Saint Vincent's Hospital. The story
was short and made a sad plea for help for those who would not need help that much longer. So give
whatever you can now because you will not be required to give for an extended period of time. He
did not understand what had compelled him to return home at the time. He had no one there. Yet, he
had some desperate need to see the Crape Myrtles that had once graced her front lawn.
That had been a month ago and he was now by her side once again. Every day and every night since
then. There was so much he needed to know. Had she been truly happy? How many children did she
mother? Grandchildren? She had never left their hometown? Why? Did she ever think of him? Why
had she stopped writing? Had they polluted her mind like so many others? Did she hate him too? Had
her loneliness destroyed her as his had destroyed him? Was there still a chance? Or must he always
be crying over her? Her comatose state forbade him even a single answer.
The Doctor on call, as a member of the Hospitalists Group that evening, told him with a certain air of
arrogance that her morphine solution would be maxed out that very night. Stopping her heart. "Why?"
"Why, because she had run out of Carbon Credits, of course!" And so, over a period of fifty years little
had changed in Washington, DC. Fifty years ago, the federal government had rationalized a worthless
war that had crippled him; fifty years later they were rationalizing her death with some idiotic EPA
program. "Well, it's over. Finally," he sighed, rolling his wheelchair to the side of her bed.
At the end he took her withered hand, brought to his lips for a final kiss, and laid his head upon her
breasts. He could hear the music again. A soft, uplifting tune. And the poignant refrain was perfectly
clear-- coming from somewhere inside her heart:
"Here we are;
I know I love you again;
I can see you in my dreams."

NEW REVIEWS: WOW, Sonnnya! What an incredible story. Bright and happy, terribly sad. We must
ask: "How can one so young and beautiful as you write so revealingly about such a sad time in American
history? Mix so gracefully youth with age? Challenge so insightfully the frequent missteps of the federal
government? Yours is a sharp eye, defining a clever art that shall surely be recognized by many soon.
Welcome and please, give us more! *****__Anthony M. Gullatta.
A beautifully crafted story of youth and age and what might have been. I was deeply touched by how
you handled the early love between the two versus the tragedy of their final time together. Love does
endure, but not all. Yes, please give us more, Sonya, and welcome to LMI.*****__Su Chang-Wu.
I was deeply moved by this story. I believe it is true that one does not forget one's first love. The level
of forgiveness on part of both participants is well worth reading again and again during these anxious
and highly polarized days of our country. Welcome, Sonya, and send us more. ****__Jean Ann Morgan.
A magnificent piece of story-telling that opens the door into a vivacious landscape of life, love and
sadness. So many people enter our lives, changing who we are, and when they depart, we can never
forget them. Their essence echoes in stories such as yours.****__Melissa Mendelson

Q: Calling type-specific code from a library function, determined at compile-time How can you make code in a Scala library call type-specific code for objects supplied by a caller to that library, where the decision about which type-specific code to call is made at compile-time (statically), not at run-time?
To illustrate the concept, suppose I want to make a library function that prints objects one way if there's a CanMakeDetailedString defined for them, or just as .toString if not. See nicePrint in this example code:
  import scala.language.implicitConversions

  trait CanMakeDetailedString[A] extends (A => String)

  def noDetailedString[A] = new CanMakeDetailedString[A] {
    def apply(a: A) = a.toString
  }

  object Util {
    def nicePrint[A](a: A)
      (implicit toDetail: CanMakeDetailedString[A] = noDetailedString[A])
    : Unit = println(toDetail(a))

    def doStuff[A](a: A)
    : Unit = { /* stuff goes here */ nicePrint(a) }
 }

Now here is some test code:
  object Main {
    import Util._

    case class Rototiller(name: String)

    implicit val rototillerDetail = new CanMakeDetailedString[Rototiller] {
      def apply(r: Rototiller) = s"The rototiller named ${r.name}."
    }

    val r = Rototiller("R51")

    nicePrint(r)
    doStuff(r)
  }

Here's the output in Scala 2.11.2:
The rototiller named R51.
Rototiller(R51)

When I call nicePrint from the same scope where rototillerDetail is defined, the Scala compiler finds rototillerDetail and passes it implicitly to nicePrint. But when, from the same scope, I call a function in a different scope (doStuff) that calls nicePrint, the Scala compiler doesn't find rototillerDetail.
No doubt there are good reasons for that. I'm wondering, though, how can I tell the Scala compiler "If an object of the needed type exists, use it!"?
I can think of two workarounds, neither of which is satisfactory:

*

*Supply an implicit toDetail argument to doStuff. This works, but it requires me to add an implicit toDetail argument to every function that might, somewhere lower in the call stack, have a use for a CanMakeDetailedString object. That is going to massively clutter my code.

*Scrap the implicit approach altogether and do this in object-oriented style, making Rototiller inherit from CanMakeDetailedString by overriding a special new method like .toDetail.
Is there some technique, trick, or command-line switch that could enable the Scala compiler to statically resolve the right implicit object? (Rather than figuring it out dynamically, when the program is running, as in the object-oriented approach.) If not, this seems like a serious limitation on how much use library code can make of "typeclasses" or implicit arguments. In other words, what's a good way to do what I've done badly above?

Clarification: I'm not asking how this can be done with implicit val. I'm asking how you can get the Scala compiler to statically choose type-appropriate functions in library code, without explicitly listing, in every library function, an implicit argument for every function that might get called lower in the stack. It doesn't matter to me if it's done with implicits or anything else. I just want to know how to write generic code that chooses type-specific functions appropriately at compile-time.

A: implicits are resolved at compile time so it can't know what A is in doStuff without more information.
That information can be provided through an extra implicit parameter or a base type / interface as you suggested.
You could also use reflection on the A type, use the getType that returns the child type, cast the object to that type, and call a predefined function that has the name of the type that writes the string details for you. I don't really recommend it as any OOP or FP solution is better IMHO.

Q: Extract the contents of cmd.exe IDE to a text file using autohotkey scripts I am trying to extract the contents of cmd.exe IDE to a text file using autohotkey scripts ie one test.ahk and its written as shown below:
 WinGetText, text, "C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe"
 FileAppend, %text%, C:\ThreePartition\ACTUAL.txt

I am not able to extract the contents. Can anyone please suggest the correct way to do the extraction?

A:
The text retrieved is generally the same as what Window Spy shows for that window.

The Window Spy shows no text elements for CMD windows - what you see is not necessarily what you can get :)
What you can do is to simulate the Select All and Paste commands, and then use the clipboard contents.

A: I don't believe you can extract the contents of a cmd window without somehow using DllCall to read the process memory directly.
If you just want the output of a CLI command such as Grep or AWK, using stdout via the run command should work. Honestly though, I stopped relying on AHK because this sort of thing is just too clunky.
http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/Run.htm.
Edit for comments:
What you want is doable, but the solution depends entirely on how your IDE works. What behavior does it have that's unique to building a project? If it makes temp files, you can overload your "build" button with an AHK subroutine that watches for the existence of those files, and then checks the modified date of the output executable to see if the build succeeded. The same kind of solution works if the IDE changes its window title when building. Be clever. :)
Failing that, you might have to install a message hook.

Trakti Smart "Legal" Contracts Blog
The future of contracts: a new look for Trakti
In the previous article, we anticipated the big graphic change that Trakti is ready to publish. Below I will explain the process of creating the company logo: a long and demanding path that has led to a great result.
The design phases of creating a logo, introduced in the last article are many and all extremely important.
The first phase of designing a logo and one of the most important of the whole process is the briefing. In this phase, the graphic designer discusses with the client to understand and define the objectives of the project. Usually, the designer asks questions to his client to understand the company's objectives, mission, and vision, to understand the motivation for a stylistic change, the customer's expectations and to define the development of a new logo.
At this stage, it is important to gather as much information as possible.
The Briefing phase carried out with Luigi Telesca, Co-Founder and CEO of Trakti, was useful and necessary to understand the product, comprehend the diversified target to which it refers, and above all to define the company's objectives and Luigi's expectations: a simple and modern, updated, and recognizable logo. We decided that the orange color should also be included in the new logo to recall the previous logo and that there should be a link with the Italian company Exrade, part of Trakti.
In this phase, I collected more information about the product and then proceeded with the next research step, where I concretized and enriched the information received through an analysis of the reference market and competitors.
Brainstorming is the phase where creativity starts.
It is a decision-making methodology in which the search for the solution is carried out by writing ideas and thoughts expressed freely and without judgment.
Starting from an initial word, in this specific case "Trakti", I wrote on a blank sheet few words, small sketches, and thoughts to generate an idea for its new logo.
In the realization of the mood board, I paid attention to abstract concepts, such as "automation", "innovation", "future", and "speed" which led to the creation of ideas for the next phase.
Sketch (or sketches)
Once the ideas were reported on paper, I moved on to the actual creation phase, where a word, an idea, or a concept, turn into a sketch. This step was very long and intense, as abstract concepts, such as "automation", "innovation", and "digitalisation" were difficult to transform into more abstract concepts.
After several pages of drafts and sketches, I took the work to the computer.
Proposals and Feedback
The best ideas realized in the sketching phase were brought to vector, or to the computer, where they were worked and re-defined using graphic programs, such as Adobe Illustrator.
After a careful selection of the various sketches, I decided to prepare 5 different proposals to be presented to Luigi. I then held a meeting with him where the "chosen" logo to work on was agreed.
The chosen logo brings with it the characteristics of speed and automation that we discussed with Luigi from the beginning.
Using clean lines both in the pictogram and in the chosen font, Urbanist, in serial variation Medium, result in a modern and minimal logo.
The logo consists of the basic principles of the Trakti platform: the decay of the traditional contract that gives way to a digital contract with simple and effective filling fields. Automation, process, and speed are represented by two arrows pointing to the right. Inside the logo is visible the letter T of Trakti.
The choice of color was important: the bright orange typical of Trakti gives way to a bright purple, the color of metamorphosis and transition and, together with blue, widely used in the tech field. Orange is not abandoned by the whole, but from the primary color that it was previously, it became the secondary color of the logo.
Once the final logo was realized, I created its declinations: the version with the slogan: "Deals Made Easy", which together with Luigi we deliberately decided to keep, even on the new one and the vertical version.
Subsequently, I refined the project, defining the construction lines, the margins of respect, the alignments and the minimum dimensions.
To conclude I made mockups of the subsequent branding work, of which you will see a hint on our site.
Digitalisation, Innovation

Beware!! Scammers use Google Calendar Notifications to steal the User's Money and Identity
Critical remote code execution vulnerability in WinRAR demo version. Update quickly
Scammers are abusing Google Calendar services to trick victims into giving away the personal and financial information such as passwords, card details, or account IDs.
Calendar phishing is highly effective as it comes from trusted, legitimate services; it can even trick users who might not fall in other forms of attacks.
Kaspersky observed several unsolicited pop-up calendar notifications appearing for Gmail users as a result of sophisticated spam emails sent by scammers.
The emails aimed in exploiting "default feature for people using Gmail on their smartphone: the automatic addition and notification of calendar invitations," states Kaspersky press release.
The attackers use to send an unsolicited calendar invitation that contains a phishing link, in the victims phone it pop-up notification in the smartphone and stir victim's to click on the link.
Once the user click's on the links, they are getting redirected to "website that featured a simple questionnaire and offered prize money upon completion." To get the price, victims are asked to provide the card details and other personal information.
Instead of delivering the prize, the entered details are sent to the attacker's server, who can use the information to steal money and to launch various attacks.
"The 'calendar scam' is a very useful scheme, as most people have become used to receiving spam messages from emails or messenger apps," said Maria Vergelis, a security researcher at Kaspersky. "But this may not be the case when it comes to the Calendar app, which has the main purpose to organize information rather than transfer it.
To avoid the issue, researchers suggested to Turn off the automatic adding of invitations to your calendar.
You need to check the website is legitimate or not before entering your personal or financial information. Internet users tend to believe in the padlock, but the SSL certificates don't tell you anything about site legitimacy

Q: JAX-RS consume a resource object service with the Jersey implementation of JAX-RS. My Question is if it is possible to consume an object that is represented by an URI directly. I'm sorry if my wording is wrong but I'm a beginner when it comes to web-services, REST and Marshalling/Unmarschalling.
To illustrate my problem I've made an example web-service.
First I created a POJO that will be published and consumed by the web-service
package com.test.webapp.resources;

import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlAccessType;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlAccessorType;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlAttribute;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlElement;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement;

@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
@XmlRootElement
public class SomeData {

    private String name;
    private String id;
    private String description;

    public SomeData() {

    }

    public SomeData(String id, String name, String description) {

        this.id = id;
        this.name = name;
        this.description = description;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public String getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public String getDescription() {
        return description;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {

        return "SomeData [id="
               + id
               + ", name="

               + ", description="
               + description + "]";
    }
}

Next the web-service that will publish the data:

        }
        catch (URISyntaxException e1) {

            e1.printStackTrace();
        }

        List<SomeData> theDataList = this.comsumeData(someDataResource);

        String summaryString = "";

        for(SomeData data : theDataList) {

            summaryString += data.getDescription() + " ";
        }

        return Response.status(201).entity(summaryString).build();
    }

    private List<SomeData> comsumeData(URI someDataResource) {

        ClientConfig clientConfig = new DefaultClientConfig();
        clientConfig.getFeatures()
                    .put(JSONConfiguration.FEATURE_POJO_MAPPING,
                         Boolean.TRUE);
        Client client = Client.create(clientConfig);
        WebResource webResource = client.resource(someDataResource);

        List<SomeData> dataListFromGet = webResource
                                  .accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
                                  .get(new GenericType<List<SomeData>>(){});

        return dataListFromGet;

    }
}

Now I create a Jersey Client to do a post and create a summary.
package com.test.webapp.client;

import java.net.URI;

import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;

import com.sun.jersey.api.client.Client;
import com.sun.jersey.api.client.ClientResponse;
import com.sun.jersey.api.client.WebResource;
import com.sun.jersey.api.client.config.ClientConfig;
import com.sun.jersey.api.client.config.DefaultClientConfig;
import com.sun.jersey.api.json.JSONConfiguration;

public class JerseyClient {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        try {

            ClientConfig clientConfig = new DefaultClientConfig();
            clientConfig.getFeatures().put(JSONConfiguration.FEATURE_POJO_MAPPING, Boolean.TRUE);
            Client client = Client.create(clientConfig);
            WebResource webResource = client.resource("http://localhost:8080/WebApp");

            URI someDataListResource = new URI("http://localhost:8080/WebApp/data/someData/list");

            ClientResponse response = webResource
                    .path("data/someSummary/create/all/uri")
                    .accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)
                    .type(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)
                    .post(ClientResponse.class, someDataListResource.toString());

            if(response.getStatus() != 201) {

                throw new RuntimeException("Failed : HTTP error code : " + response.getStatus());
            }

            System.out.println(response.getEntity(String.class));
        }

        catch(Exception e) {

            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

So this works all good and well. However I think this is some kind of workaround to create a client inside the web-service to consume a resource. What I would like to do is remove the client all together inside the web-service and consume the object behind a resource directly.
Something like this:
In the web-service:
@POST
@Path("/someSummary/create/all")
@Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)
public Response createSumary(List<SomeData> someDataList) {

    String summaryString = "";

    for(SomeData data : someDataList) {

        summaryString += data.getDescription() + " ";
    }

    return Response.status(201).entity(summaryString).build();
}

And in the client something like this:
URI someDataListResource = new URI("http://localhost:8080/WebApp/data/someData/list");

ClientResponse response = webResource
        .path("data/someSummary/create/all/uri")
        .accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)
        .type(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)
        .post(ClientResponse.class, someDataListResource);

Is this possible or do I get something wrong?
Sorry if this is a trivial question but I did some research and couldn't find anything probably because my search therms are wrong due to my inexperience.
Thank you for your efforts in advance.

A: First, yes, if you want to consume URIs, you will need to do it by hand. You could write a custom class like this:
public class SomeDataList extends ArrayList<SomeData> {
   public static SomeDataList valueOf(String uri) {
       // fetch the URI & create the list with the objects, return it.
   }
   // other methods
}

And just use this specific class in your request:
@POST
@Path("/someSummary/create/all/uri")
@Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)
public Response createSumaryFromUrl(@QueryParam("uri") SomeDataList someDataResourceString) {
   //....
}

However, it looks to me that the specific objects you want to retrieve are already in the server, so there's no need to do a round-trip over HTTP+REST - just find them directly.

It is no secret that stress negatively impacts our health. In fact, it is one of the top three factors in the development of chronic disease, including cancer. According to Chris Wark, cancer survivor via natural solutions, the top three contributors of 79 – 95% of cancers, are: diet & lifestyle, environment, & stress. Common sense guides us to know that everything we eat, drink, and put onto our bodies, as well as breathe into our bodies, must be safe, clean, and free of toxins.
While it is essential to educate ourselves and seek out the purest of products on the market to consume, we must also mindfully simplify our lives and support our spiritual & soulful selves. Everything that surrounds us on a daily basis contributes to our physiological and psychological stress profile. Most people do not even realize the various stressors that we encounter. From wifi exposure to the water we drink and air that we breathe, it is a daily challenge. I've put together a list of 9 stress reducing tips to support you on your journey of making positive changes that support stress reduction. If you are suffering in any way, whether it be physically or psychologically, know that you can turn your situation around will these simple suggestions.
Flopping in front of the TV after a stressful day in order to relax actually adds stress to your body. There is an electromagnetic field surrounding electronic machines which build up stress in the body. At night, light alters the body's biological clock (circadian rhythm), and sleep suffers. Research shows that it may contribute to the causation of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. Blue wavelengths from energy efficient lighting and electronic screens are the most disruptive.
Essential Activity: Reduce screen time including: gaming, television, computer, electronic notebooks & phone use. Consider getting blue light blocking glasses or install an app on your computer that filters the blue/green wavelength at night time. Read a book or magazine before sleep instead of reading from an electronic device. Find a notebook and make this your designated gratitude journal. Consider writing down 3 – 5 things from each day that you are grateful for, from ordinary to extraordinary!
Meditation does not mean that you have to sit still for 20 minutes in silence. There are various forms of meditation. Meditation is a state of deep peace that occurs when the mind is calm and silent. Meditation includes focusing on rhythmic breathing, prayer, affirmations, visualization, gratitude, and being creative.
Essential Activity: Make time each day to be still, even if it's only for 5 minutes. Choose a time of day that you can stick to such as when you wake up, get home from school or work, or before you settle into bed at night. Choose a form of meditation that resonates with you such as saying prayers, setting intentions, saying affirmations, rhythmic breathing, visualizing being in a dream location, writing in a gratitude journal, sketching, and more.
Lack of adequate sleep is a major cause of stress. Our bodies need about 7 – 8 hours of sleep, but growing children need even more to function properly.
Essential Activity: Begin the unwinding process one hour before sleep time. If you want to watch television in bed, wear blue light blocking glasses to block the blue/green wavelengths of light from the TV. Diffuse Lavender essential oil or a calming blend of essential oils that includes Roman Chamomile, Ylang Ylang, and Sandalwood.
The body's natural rhythm is determined by our heart beat (a waltz beat is the equivalent). The stress is on the first beat of the bar. Music in 4/4 time, like most classical or folk music harmonizes with the body because the stress is also on the first beat of the bar.
Essential Activity: Listen to classical music at least once a week. If classical is not your first choice, select music that is 4/4 time without negative lyrics. Try to listen to calm music more than once a week. There are plenty of types of meditative and health supporting music choices on the market.
Sitting for too long is bad for health & longevity. Something simple as walking or swimming will reduce stress. If you need a more high energy activity such as running, bicycling, kickboxing, and more – then go for it. Just move your body daily as best as you can with or without physical limitations. Stand up and move around as much as you can if you work at a typical desk job.
Essential Activity: Move your body in any way that makes you happy. Take movement breaks by standing up from your seat a few times each hour. Park your car further away from each entrance of the places you frequent. If you have legs that are healthy and unrestricted, use them, for they are a gift. Keep it simple, give gratitude for your legs and just walk.
Anything electrical produces and electromagnetic field. Even when an appliance is switched off, but plugged into a wall socket, there is an electromagnetic field. Turn off all devices at night and unplug all appliances that do not need to be plugged in for an extended period of time.
Essential Activity: Consider investing in protective products for your wifi devices and home smart meter. Learn about the dangers of EMF's and limit time spent in places that are exploding with wifi activity. Spend as much time in nature as possible to counteract the negative effects of electromagnetic fields. Ground your body with essential oils that come from trees. Apply and diffuse grounding blends and single tree oils.
Each individual has varying food sensitivities that may yet to be recognized. Undiagnosed food sensitivities can create a tremendous amount of stress on the body and emotions. Eliminating foods that do not agree with us can bring about happiness, calm, and renewed energy.
Essential Activity: Find a quality integrative or functional medicine doctor who is familiar with food sensitivity testing. Learn the results, and eliminate dietary choices that contain those allergens. More than likely your energy will return and that brings overall health & happiness.
78% of our society is chronically dehydrated. Avoid beverages that are high in sugar, fructose, corn syrup, GMO's, and artificial sweeteners. Drinking water at room temperature is easier on the body and is proven to reduce stress headaches.
Essential Activity: Just drink pure filtered unadulterated water. I drink water from the Berkey Travel System and it is absolutely delicious. Pure filtered water from a quality filter system provides Life-Force energy. I add one drop of the preferred citrus essential oil of my choice at any given time, and it is so much easier to keep myself hydrated. I choose from tangerine, wild orange, lemon, and lime. For a refreshing summer drink, I use one drop of spearmint or peppermint essential oil.
Having a positive and unattached attitude is the most important thing we can do. In other words, try not to take things personally and always do your best. The Fifth Agreement is a great book to read. Having an attitude of gratitude is life changing too. Give gratitude daily for 3 things.
Essential Activity: When you feel your mind focusing primarily on negativity, shift your focus to a pleasant memory or location that makes you feel good. Get out into nature and breathe in the trees and flowers. Breathing in nature will support your micro-biome, keeping your gut health balanced, thereby supporting a positive attitude. Health and happiness begins in the gut. If you are suffering from depression and a negative attitude, look to your gut and make changes to your diet and life circumstances, as best as you can. Enjoy reading The Fifth Agreement.
Perfect timing with entering the holiday season(s)! Thanks!

fdic rfi framework analyzing effects regulatory actions
Comment Letter
ABA Comments to FDIC re: Request for Information on a Framework for Analyzing the Effects of FDIC Regulatory Actions
From Ananda Radhakrishnan, Tyler Mondres
Re:	Request for Information on a Framework for Analyzing the Effects of FDIC Regulatory Actions – RIN 3064-ZA13
Robert E. Feldman, Executive Secretary
Attention: Comments
Dear Mr. Feldman:
The American Bankers Association (ABA) appreciates the opportunity to comment on the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's (FDIC's) Notice and Request for Information (RFI) on a proposed framework that details approaches that the FDIC is considering to analyze the effects of its regulatory actions. The RFI states that FDIC views analysis of the effects of regulatory actions and alternatives as an important part of a transparent rulemaking process.
Summary of Framework
The RFI states that the FDIC is considering including the following in its rulemaking actions:
A statement of the need for the proposed action;
The identification of a baseline against which the effects of the action are compared;
The identification of alternative regulatory approaches; and
An evaluation of the benefits and costs, from all major stakeholder perspectives, that includes qualitative discussion, and quantitative analysis where relevant and practicable, of the proposed action and the main alternatives identified by the analysis. Moreover, the analysis should be transparent about its assumptions and significant uncertainties.
ABA appreciates the FDIC's intention to be more transparent in its rulemaking process. This will allow stakeholders to understand better the economic and policy rationales for proposed action and be more targeted in their comments on regulatory initiatives.
With that in mind, ABA offers the following general principles:
It is essential that the FDIC undertake a holistic review of all existing regulations, especially those relevant to a particular topic, prior to proposing and finalizing regulations.
Specifically, there should be a review of current statutory and regulatory provisions to avoid duplication, together with an analysis as to whether the proposed action is consistent with the current state of affairs.
Impact assessments should consider the banking industry, affected customers, financial markets, and the broader economy.
For example, any actions that could cause community banks to curtail lending would have negative economic impacts on the communities that they serve.
It is important for the FDIC to conduct a careful review to ascertain accurately the costs to banks of implementing new regulatory initiatives.
For example, any action that imposes burdensome costs should be avoided unless it can be demonstrated that the benefits far outweigh the costs.
The FDIC could consult with core processors and other third-party providers that provide system modifications to ask them about implementation costs. Likewise, the FDIC could conduct interviews with key representative banks about the costs of regulation to understand better the impacts on banks of various sizes and business models.
It should not be surprising that, by and large, regulatory costs that are imposed on banks also affect customers.
Any proposed regulatory initiative should also detail and clarify additions to, or changes to, bank recordkeeping and reporting requirements.
It is the experience of our members that additions to current recordkeeping and reporting requirements will impose new costs on banks.
Prior to finalizing a major regulation, it is imperative that the FDIC and other affected regulatory agencies (Agencies) undertake voluntary data collections and impact analyses that cover all affected banks.
The Agencies have often relied on the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision's quantitative impact study (QIS) process to assess the impact of new rulemakings based on international standards. However, the Basel Committee's QIS process is not an adequate substitute for the Agencies conducting a rigorous U.S. specific empirical study of their proposals. A Basel QIS aggregates data from a relatively small sample of international banks and may not capture the relevant scope of a U.S. rulemaking.
Moreover, even if the scope of a proposed rulemaking is limited to those institutions that participate in a QIS, the international QIS process has become less relevant to the U.S. banking industry. For example, U.S. legislative requirements require that U.S. bank capital requirements must diverge in critical ways from the Basel framework, which include, but are not limited to, a binding stress testing requirement; the inability to use public credit ratings; and a standardized floor to the advanced methodology for calculating risk-weighted assets (RWAs). The divergences mean that the Agencies can no longer rely on the Basel Committee's QIS process to determine the U.S. bank capital framework.
Thank you for your consideration of our views and recommendations. If you have any questions or require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned at [email protected], 202-663-5037 or at [email protected], 202-663-5353.

Gunplay – "Know Me Like That" f. Styles P & Tyler Woods
blame it on Meka June 18, 2015
It's been a long time coming for Don Logan. A longtime member of Rick Ross' MMG camp he – alongside Ross, Torch and Young Breed, together as the Triple C's – released one lone album, Custom Cars & Cycles, in 2009, and has had to patiently wait on the sidelines as Rick expanded the regime to include Meek Mill, Omarion, Stalley, Rockie Fresh and Wale. Undeterred, Gunplay has contributed to works by both his extended family and other stars, most notably MMG's "Power Circle" and Kendrick Lamar's "Cartoon & Cereal."
Now signed to Def Jam as a solo artist, Gunplay is set to release his major label debut Living Legend on July 31st. After setting things off with his DJ Mustard-produced "WuzHaninDoe," he now teams with another rough-and-ready emcee in Styles P on perhaps the nicest-sounding death threats to arrive this week, with Tyler Woods providing the hook. Listen below.

While Okabe struggles to leave his traumas in the past, he meets a familiar-faced AI that re-opens old wounds and could lead to a terrifying new future.
The original Steins;Gate was a phenomenal series. It's one that amassed a large following very quickly due to its memorable characters, interesting ideas, and stylish animation. Whether a fan of the visual novel on which it was based or not, people loved. So, coming into Steins;Gate Zero, there's an inherent risk that it will struggle to live up to that original run. Whether this turns out to be the case for you or not will depend entirely on what you expect from this release.
Start with the OVA and you can see exactly where this story splits off from the original season, and that really sets the tone for things going forward. Okabe fails to save Kurisu and, rather than try again, he gives up. This immediately sends the former self-styled mad professor into a far more muted existence. He's low, and the bombast of his lifestyle is gone, replaced by a more mundane university life. Yet the intelligence and willingness to explore science still remain. I really liked that with Okabe here. He's both so similar and so different to his alternate world-line counterpart that it's easy to pick up on the familiar aspects while still enjoying the differences.
Meanwhile, the rest of the returning cast are much the same. The fun of the original series is still there for them – such as Ferris and Luka freaking out at the prospect of Okabe dating someone when they reunite – but their paths have taken different turns. Mayuri and Suzuha take center stage when needed, and that focus is appreciated. I hadn't realized how much I missed Mayuri's doo-doo-doo catchphrase until now. And the mix of drive and desperation that Suzuha possesses is such a wonderful way to push the impending-war part of the story forward. Throw in that her future Dad is still such a likable character, and everything is set up nicely.
Characters, old and new, link up to save the future.
The new characters are also a nice bunch, if somewhat limited in use in this part of the release. Amadeus, the AI built from Kurisu's memories is perhaps the most interesting. She's both a useful focus for Okabe and a reminder of his failure, leaving them with a complicated relationship. Maho is, in some ways, designed to fill Kurisu's role in the series in terms of the science stuff. She has a few tsundere tendencies too, adding to the harem undertone of the franchise. Dr. Leskinen is playing comic relief in some ways, but given his position, I do expect there to be more to him than this come the end of the series. The one that intrigues me the most is perhaps Kagiri though; she's an amnesiac girl with a physical resemblance for Kurisu, and is Mayuri's adopted daughter in the war-torn future. By the end of this half of the season, she is only just getting her memories back.
The story overall is certainly as intriguing as the original series, and by the end of this half, we're diving headlong into the familiar need to stop the future war. Due to being an alternate world-line though, things take a different route, with previous character roles appearing to be different. The same feel is there at times, but don't make the mistake of thinking this will be more of the same. There is a great deal of focus given to Okabe's struggles, especially when he is placed in a position where he must choose to sacrifice someone. In that regard, much of these two discs feel like a character study of an Okabe that failed, set against the backdrop of the consequences of time travel.
Aesthetically speaking, White Fox have done a great job here. The animation is smooth, the new character designs fit perfectly alongside the old ones, and it remains consistent throughout. Meanwhile, the soundtrack provides plenty of fitting musical moments, as well as some great performances from both the sub and dub voice cast.
Meanwhile, the limited edition version not only contains both the Blu-ray and DVD versions of the release, but a whole bunch of extras including art cards, and art book, and more! It's a fantastic release for collectors.
Overall, this is a wonderful release. To a degree, I would say that it does rely on you having seen the original series and not be set on having more of the same. You can absolutely watch Steins;Gate Zero without having seen Steins;Gate, but the characters and longstanding plot points won't be familiar, which could lead to confusion. Without that connection, it would be hard to appreciate the clear difference in fate here. At the same time, if you want nothing more than another run-through of the original series, the differences may disappoint. If you go in with an open mind though and embrace the way things could have gone, Steins;Gate Zero is an absolute blast, chock full of compelling characters. This gets a strong 4 out of 5.

When I had first watched the original Steins; Gate series I did not like it at all. But it did keep spinning around in my head. I eventually gave it a second watch and I loved it. Weird how things like that can happen. It resulted in a very fun collab post series as well😊
As for this one I haven't gotten around to it yet, but as with so many animes it's still on the list to watch. It's nice to hear that this series is also fun to watch, and this limited edition really looks very cool! 😃

It's a really nice package, isn't it?
This one seemed to divide fans a lot, but thus far, I've enjoyed it. It's actually quite interesting seeing what would have happened if things played out differently.
I've had that with music before too, haha that just didn't click with me but that I kept coming back to and eventually they did.
Haha, yep, music is definitely another great example where I have had the same thing happening too.
I hope to maybe see Steins;Gate this year, but in all likelyhood it will probably be next year 😊
There are far too many anime to watch when you want to, aren't there?
Lol…so true…my backlog is so big right now I will probably never finish it in my lifetime 😂😂
