Q: Guava Async eventbus listeners are triggered sequentially I'm working on a Java application which emits events which should be handled asynchronously, since the event handling is IO dependent and I want it to be decoupled from core logic.
I'm trying out Guava EventBus for this use case. In order to enable async event handling, I'm using AsyncEventBus with cached thread pool executor.
When multiple events are fired, the event listeners seem to be executed in sequential order, despite running on different threads.
Event generator class
public class MyEventEmitter {
    private static final Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger(MyEventEmitter.class);
    private EventBus eventBus;
    public MyEventEmitter(EventBus eventBus) {
        this.eventBus = eventBus;
    }
    public void emitEvent() {
        logger.info("[TEST] Emitting event");
        eventBus.post("String event");
        eventBus.post("String event");
        eventBus.post("String event");
        eventBus.post("String event");
    }
}

Event listener class

public class EventListener {

    private static final Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger(EventListener.class);
    private static int eventsHandled;
    private EventBus eventBus;
    public EventListener(EventBus eventBus) {
        this.eventBus = eventBus;
        this.eventBus.register(this);
    }

    @Subscribe
    public void stringEventDelayed(String event) throws InterruptedException{
        eventsHandled++;
        logger.info("[TEST] Async Event START " + event);
        Thread.sleep(1000);
        logger.info("[TEST] Async Event END " + event);

    }
}

EventBus setup
public class MainModule extends AbstractModule {

    @Override
    protected void configure() {
    }

    @Provides
    public EventListener getEventListener(EventBus eventBus){
        return new EventListener(eventBus);
    }

    @Singleton
    @Provides
    public EventBus getEventBus(){
        return new AsyncEventBus(Executors.newFixedThreadPool(4));
    }

    @Provides
    public MyEventEmitter getMyEventEmitter(EventBus eventBus){
        return new MyEventEmitter(eventBus);
    }
}

Here's what the output logs look like:
[INFO ] 2022-06-29 19:26:22.333 [main] EventListener - [TEST] EventListener setup
 [INFO ] 2022-06-29 19:26:22.345 [main] MyEventEmitter - [TEST] Emitting event
 [INFO ] 2022-06-29 19:26:22.346 [pool-2-thread-1] EventListener - [TEST] Async Event START String event
 [INFO ] 2022-06-29 19:26:23.348 [pool-2-thread-1] EventListener - [TEST] Async Event END String event
 [INFO ] 2022-06-29 19:26:23.348 [pool-2-thread-4] EventListener - [TEST] Async Event START String event
 [INFO ] 2022-06-29 19:26:24.353 [pool-2-thread-4] EventListener - [TEST] Async Event END String event
 [INFO ] 2022-06-29 19:26:24.359 [pool-2-thread-3] EventListener - [TEST] Async Event START String event
 [INFO ] 2022-06-29 19:26:25.361 [pool-2-thread-3] EventListener - [TEST] Async Event END String event
 [INFO ] 2022-06-29 19:26:25.361 [pool-2-thread-2] EventListener - [TEST] Async Event START String event
 [INFO ] 2022-06-29 19:26:26.364 [pool-2-thread-2] EventListener - [TEST] Async Event END String event

As can be seen above, all async listeners seem to be executed one after the other rather than concurrently.
I've tried changing Executor types, tried debugging locally, and tried searching but couldn't find anything specific to my issue.

A: From the EventBus Javadocs:

The EventBus guarantees that it will not call a subscriber method from multiple threads simultaneously, unless the method explicitly allows it by bearing the AllowConcurrentEvents annotation. If this annotation is not present, subscriber methods need not worry about being reentrant, unless also called from outside the EventBus.

You should annotate your subscriber method with @AllowConcurrentEvents

At a time when key business models of almost every major business enterprise are shifting to a cloud paradigm, it is vital to ensure the safety of cloud services with regards to the security of critical data.
Such detection systems continuously monitor the cloud network for potential risks such as unauthorised attempts to access data or processes taking place inside the cloud network. This also includes malicious activities as well as events where normal working policies are violated.
Such measures are undertaken to provide a continuous report generation of the activities taking place in a cloud network at each level. The gathered data is analysed after proper correlation and archival.
Setting up a defensive firewall for a fully virtualised environment is really a challenge. But modern day cloud service providers have found ways to implement a distributed firewall system to safeguard the operation of their respective cloud network.
Most cloud service providers opt for ISO/IEC 27001certification, awarded only if the service provider follows a sufficient level of security and information security management standard.

Зграда у Ул. I устанка 2 (Хиландарска 2) у Нишу је породична кућа са пространим двориштем која се налази на почетку Хиландарске улице. Грађена је непосредно након Првог светског рата, 1922. године. Припадала је нишком индустријалцу Ставри Цветковићу, који је са оцем Николом и братом Јорданом Рошком, био власник једног од првих парних аутоматских млинова у Нишу.

Архитектура
Архитектонски је од изузетно велике вредности, тако да јој у потпуности одговара епитет богате градске виле. Више стилова је укључено у њену изградњу, а спољашност краси и сецесијска фасадна декорација. Улазно степениште уводи у двориште куће. Према Хиландарској улици зграда је подељена на два дела. Први део који је мало увученији и нижи поседује два ужа полукружна прозора са стубићима. У трећој додатној ниши смештен је пехар исте величине између прозора. Други део куће, нешто виши и истуренији, има јединствени полукружни отвор у ком се налази велики прозор са три крила. Изнад њега се налазе две фигуре женских глава, а између њих биљна пластика у дубоком рељефу. Испод свих прозорких отвора су редови стубића. Фасадни део крова украшен је са два велика пехара на његовом почетку и крају. Подрум се налази испод куће.

Споменик културе
Зграда у Ул. I устанка 2 (Хиландарска 2) је регистрована у Непокретна културна добра на територији општине Медијана, града Ниша.

На основу одлуке Извршног савета Скупштине општине Ниш, 1983. године додаје се на списак Завода за заштиту споменика културе у Нишу и заведена је као непокретно културно добро: споменик културе.

Suzanne Crouch has won a slew of elections since she began her political career as a county auditor in 1994. She went on to serve as a county commissioner, a two-term state representative and state auditor. Now she's bringing that wealth of experience to her post as Indiana's newest lieutenant governor.
The governor she's serving under, Eric Holcomb, has had an unexpected rise to power: Last March, the former state GOP chair was named by Gov. Mike Pence to be his new lieutenant governor; in July, when Pence was tapped as Donald Trump's vice presidential nominee, Holcomb was picked as the Republican nominee for the gubernatorial race. When voters picked Holcomb in November, it was the first time he'd ever won elected office.


As the Tax Forum is to be overshadowed by recession, participants should remember that all taxes suppress productive activity, except holding taxes on indestructible, irreplaceable, immobile assets, the returns to which are economic rent.
A tax on any other factor of production can be avoided by destroying the factor, or by failing to produce or replace it, or by moving it out of the jurisdiction. A tax on transactions can be avoided by avoiding the transactions. All these modes of avoidance amount to lost production within the jurisdiction.
Taxes that can be avoided in any of these ways are costs of production and must be recovered through prices if production is to continue. Hence they are inflationary. Hence they raise the non-accelerating-inflation rate of unemployment (NAIRU), the maintenance of which is the target of monetary policy.
The most obvious tax on production is income tax. On the macroeconomic scale, income is production: national "income" is net national "product".
It follows that income tax raises prices. The widespread belief that income tax doesn't feed into prices, while a consumption taxes does, is based on the assumption that if a consumption tax replaced income tax, gross wages/salaries would be held constant. Under that assumption, the personal income tax presently withheld from wages/salaries would instead be paid to employees, and the consumption tax would need to come from another source, namely higher prices.
But if net wages/salaries were held constant, the total funds presently paid to the government as PAYE income tax would instead be paid to the government as consumption tax; there would be no need for enterprises to find extra revenue, hence no overall price rise.
In either case, prices charged by unincorporated sole traders would behave similarly to those charged by employers (due to competition for customers, and arbitrage between working for oneself and working for an employer).
On the macro scale, income is production. But on the micro scale, on which income tax is assessed, one entity's income can be another's production. Such is economic rent. So an income tax, with appropriate inclusions and exemptions, can target economic rent and spare the returns to production.
In practice, however, income taxes invariably do the opposite, because economic rent buys political influence.
Thus capital gains get concessional treatment, although they overwhelmingly represent economic rent rather than capital formation (and although CGT resembles a holding tax in that the taxable gain accumulates while the asset is held). Meanwhile income from capital, which really does contribute to capital formation (and is a transaction or series of transactions), gets no such concessions.
Thus, in Australia, current losses incurred in pursuit of capital gains ("negative gearing") are deductible against wage income although they are not incurred in pursuit of wages, while commuting costs incurred in pursuit of wages are not deductible against them.
A consumption tax by its very nature is indifferent to whether consumption is financed out of production or economic rent. So it is not so easily rigged in favour of rent-takers. This is an advantage not only in efficiency, but also in equity, because the flow of economic rent is highly concentrated towards the rich (e.g. in Australia in 2005-6, the top 1% of income earners got 5.3% of wage/salary income and 38.6% of net capital gains).
The belief that consumption taxes are less equitable than income taxes is another symptom of the assumption that gross wages/salaries would be held constant in the transition. Under that assumption, the abolition of the progressive personal income tax would overcompensate high income earners for the price rise, and undercompensate low income earners. But if net wages/salaries were held constant, there would be no price rise and no change in wage relativities.
Using the industrial relations power (which is mostly in Federal hands under the corporations power), governments can ensure that net wages/salaries are maintained for existing appointments. New appointments can be subject to a new IR regime, preferably with an additional per-shift payment as an implicit loading for part-timers and casuals. This "shift bonus" would replicate the progressiveness of the existing system with respect to working hours, so that (e.g.) a worker on 18 hours/week would take home more than half the pay of an equal-ranked colleague on 36 hours/week. The shift bonus would also eliminate the need for minimum-shift rules.
As the producers of "necessities of life" are not exempt from income tax, there is no need to exempt them from a consumption tax that replaces income tax on a price-neutral basis.
All this could be done while leaving the existing narrow-based GST untouched, as the Government has decreed.
Unlike income tax, a consumption tax does not reduce the return on saving and investment (expressed as the ratio of future consumption to present consumption). Thus it is more conducive to capital formation and less damaging to production.
Of course a consumption tax suppresses production by reducing effective demand for products. But this effect, unlike the suppressive effect of income tax, is diluted by trade: as a consumption tax applies only to consumption within the jurisdiction, it discourages foreign production for importation, but does not discourage domestic production for exportation. Neither does it drive away capital used in production for global markets.
Because other countries can impose their own consumption taxes, the trade advantage is a first-mover advantage, which makes action all the more urgent. The other advantages of a consumption tax are permanent.
* First published (without the diagrams) as a comment on "Chart of the Day: Taxes are all wrong" at MacroBusiness. For convenience, the diagrams assume that the consumption tax is implemented as a VAT. A retail tax would have a similar effect on consumer prices, except that its compliance costs would be lower.

1115.040.00 Self-Employment Income
IM-88 October 4, 2006; IM-167 September 10, 2001
Determine self-employment income by considering total income less the expense of producing that income. Self-employment income can be considered earned or unearned income. However, even if the income is considered unearned self-employment, the EU is entitled to the expenses of producing that income. FAMIS income type is EI for earned income and UI for unearned income.
If an EU member is actually working at a job, consider the income earned, therefore eligible for the 20 percent earned income deductions and losses offset from other self-employment enterprises regardless of the number of hours. For example, wood chopping, lawn work, and baby-sitting are considered earned income regardless of the number of hours worked per week.
Not all self-employment income can be considered as earned income. An example of self-employment income that is considered unearned is rental income when the person is not actively engaged in managing the property more than 20 hours per week.
Other examples of unearned self-employment income may include income from partnerships, estates, and trusts. The income is considered unearned if the person is not engaged in activities to earn this income. Consider these income types as earned only if activities consume 20 hours or more per week. Allow the expense of taxes, insurance, interest and principal on the mortgage, and the like.
The following table illustrates income types and income sources used in FAMIS.
EI Earned Income SE Self-employment
UI Unearned Income RN Rental Income Not actively engaged in managing the property for more than 20 hours per week.
EI Earned Income RE Rental Income Actively engaged in managing the property for more than 20 hours per week.
EI Earned Income CC Child Care
EI Earned Income FA Farm Income Gross income is more than $1000 per year.
EI Earned Income FM Farm Income Gross income is less than $1000 per year.
EI Earned Income RB Room/Board
Consider EUs with self-employment income as its primary source as self-employed EUs. However, EUs in which one or more members are engaged in an enterprise for gain (such as an independent contractor, owner-operator, or operator), may have self-employment income but will not necessarily be classified as a self-employed EU. A person who owns land and has sharecroppers working the land may be considered a self-employed farmer, if actively engaged in financial management of the farming operation. All EUs with self-employment income, nevertheless, require special attention to:
work registration exemption;
assignment of certification periods; and
income computation and budgeting.

Despite being held scoreless by a tough UCD side, St Pats moved seven points clear at the top of the Premier Division, temporarily at least.
The Students tested the patience of the Saints in an uneventful encounter in Richmond Park by crowding the midfield and limiting the Inchicore men's space.
The home side started brightly but only had speculative efforts from Guy, Dempsey and Byrne before Mark Quigley had the game's best chance just after the half hour.
The league's joint top-scorer had his initial header blocked after good work by O'Neill down the right. However, the ball rebounded to him on the edge of the six yard box only for him to blaze his shot over Matt Gregg's goal.
While Alan Kirby hit the crossbar having created a chance out of nothing for himself the second half produced little else, with Brian King's man marking job on Keith Fahey restricting the league leaders' playmaker.
Fahey did have the ball in the net after 78 minutes but only after the offside flag was raised. Despite UCD having their only shot of the night in injury time neither team really looked like breaking the deadlock.

Collingwood College - World Walk Challenge - Have you sponsored us yet?
World Walk Challenge - Have you sponsored us yet?
Still need more convincing? Here are five reasons why we really want you to share this link and help us with our sponsorship. Remember, every child is aiming for £20.00 each …..
2) Mrs Wiles and Mrs Charman will have run 200km by the end of this challenge. This is impressive! At one point, their blisters were so bad that anyone else would have given up! But not these two. They have managed to do all of this whilst working incredibly hard and so they are another reason you should sponsor us!
3) The staff and students who did DofE in the middle weekend, clocked up over 1,000,000 steps. Some of them walked over 40,000 steps each day. This is another incredible achievement!
4) Staff and students have organised a fabulous range of activities to get involved with and most have had between 50-100 participants each day. This represents a huge commitment from all involved.
5) It has been hard work! In order for us to get our 10,000 steps a day, more of us have walked to school each day instead of driving. We've paced our living rooms. We've done all we can to make sure that come Friday we will have virtually walked the world. We've taken part in all of the activities. We are exhausted!
So where have we walked?
At the time of writing this, we are 65% of the way through the challenge! This means that we have gone from Canada, to South Africa, to New Zealand and Australia and we are currently 20% of the way to India! This is fantastic.
We wouldn't be able to give you any of these statistics if it wasn't for our Year 9 PiXL Edge leaders who have worked tirelessly to collate all of the data at the Step-in hubs each morning. Lewis Mears, Abi Stewart, Hannah Boast, Lauren Coles, Rachael Ruske, Rabia Hussain and Sivany Vasanthakumar have given up their break and lunch times to work on this project and they have shown great leadership skills. We are really proud of them and very grateful.
We have had a huge amount of fun getting these steps. I am astounded at the amount of students who have taken part in all of the activities we have put on. We have had nearly 100 staff and students doing our power walks with us each morning and we had upwards of 130 doing Zumba with our very own Zumba crew: Lauren Humphrey, Georgia Haynes, Niamh Payne, Harry Whelan and Charlotte To. We were also very lucky to have Annabel Brash come in and run a FitStep class and a Just Jhoom class. On Tuesday Rosella came and ran a Clubbercise class which was incredibly hard but absolutely loads of fun.
We have certainly achieved the aim of improving staff and student well-being – all of us are more mindful of how active we are on a daily basis and we've all tried to improve our fitness. And has it improved morale? Without a doubt, yes it has! Staff and students have asked me if we can carry this on all year!
Finally, we are celebrating the finale of this event with our human poppy logo event on Friday during Period 5. Mrs Boon, Dan Martin and the Senior Prefect team have worked really hard to ensure that this has been organised brilliantly. Don't forget to get your child to wear a red top on the day and I look forward to showing you what will be an excellent photo!
Don't forget to sponsor us and buy your raffle tickets – we've extended the date of this until next Wednesday (29th March). The draw will take place at the end of the day on Wednesday and a list of winners will be available at each reception when you attend your Academic Review appointment the following day. We have some great prizes ranging from gift vouchers, golf days, £200 worth of GAME accessories, a wireless speaker worth £150.00, champagne and garden ornaments worth over £100 and lots more.
Thank you for all your support in what has been an amazing two weeks so far! India, we're coming for you!


I was searching for a Property and found this listing (MLS® #373236). Please send me more information regarding 5137 Crandall, Springfield, OH - Ohio, 45503. Thank you!
I'd like to request a showing of 5137 Crandall, Springfield, OH - Ohio, 45503 (MLS® #373236). Thank you!


Fall and winter is always a huge time for new albums, and this year is no different. There are so many highly anticipated albums coming out at the end of this year. If you're deciding which albums to check out when they're released, this list has got you covered!
Adele's long-awaited album is finally here. Well, almost. After recently releasing the first single from 25 and effectively breaking the Internet, she announced that her next album would be coming out on November 20th, and then she effectively broke the Internet again. Adele has made us wait so long for this album (she's been very busy guys, so we forgive her) that she's going to kill us all with her vocals when she finally releases it!

Antoniu, Nikolaos H. (1994) Optimal admission policies for small star networks. Doctoral thesis, Durham University.
In this thesis admission stationary policies for small Symmetric Star telecommunication networks in which there are two types of calls requesting access are considered. Arrivals form independent Poisson streams on each route. We consider the routing to be fixed. The holding times of the calls are exponentially distributed periods of time. Rewards are earned for carrying calls and future returns are discounted at a fixed rate. The operation of the network is viewed as a Markov Decision Process and we solve the optimality equation for this network model numerically for a range of small examples by using the policy improvement algorithm of Dynamic Programming. The optimal policies we study involve acceptance or rejection of traffic requests in order to maximise the Total Expected Discounted Reward. Our Star networks are in some respect the simplest networks more complex than single links in isolation but even so only very small examples can be treated numerically. From those examples we find evidence that suggests that despite their complexity, optimal policies have some interesting properties. Admission Price policies are also investigated in this thesis. These policies are not optimal but they are believed to be asymptotically optimal for large networks. In this thesis we investigate if such policies are any good for small networks; we suggest that they are. A reduced state-space model is also considered in which a call on a 2-link route, once accepted, is split into two independent calls on the links involved. This greatly reduces the size of the state-space. We present properties of the optimal policies and the Admission Price policies and conclude that they are very good for the examples considered. Finally we look at Asymmetric Star networks with different number of circuits per link and different exponential holding times. Properties of the optimal policies as well as Admission Price policies are investigated for such networks.


Clean Beauty is all about ingredient safety over source, incorporating both synthetic and natural materials. While it may be a surprise to many, natural ingredients are not all safe, and synthetic ingredients are not all unsafe. With Clean Beauty, brands are focused on not using materials that are known to be harmful or irritating but instead ones that are safe and efficacious.
WHY DO SILICONES FIT INTO CLEAN BEAUTY?
Along with their safety, enhanced performance of active ingredients, compatibility with other materials such as naturals, and the unmatched sensory acceptance, silicones are extremely valuable and desired for cosmetic formulations. Besides the basic cosmetic products, silicones are used extensively in OTC, baby care, medical applications, and sensitive skin products due to their non-irritating characteristics. Silicones are also not animal derived and therefore approved by Vegans as cruelty free materials. They are not related to palm and RSPO issues and are certified as GMO free. The types of silicones used in cosmetic products are supported by scientific research and are considered extremely safe for consumer use. Silicones are effective, inert, and versatile ingredients that benefit skin and hair in numerous ways.
The assumption that silicones are not degradable is largely based on misconception. Silicones are removed by mechanisms such as partitioning to air followed by atmospheric degradation.
There are many types of silicone-based ingredients and not all should be classified the same way. Silicone reactive intermediates are very different from silicone elastomer polymers and silicone cyclic and linear fluids.

This should be required reading in all American schools. Kids need to know and understand this history (even if the author is quick to tell you it's "not a history book"). It really is absolutely essential. And Reynolds's adaptation is a very accessible, very necessary overview of 500+ years of racism and antiracism in the United States. Now I'm thinking I need to get my hands on Kendi's Stamped from the Beginning to expand on some of the ideas introduced in this book.
Jason Reynolds has done a great job of condensing a lot of information into less than three hundred pages. He has adapted Kendi's work to specifically appeal to young people and he uses humour and a conversational style to keep their attention. He certainly managed to keep my attention.
If you're like me, you're asking yourself, Was he on drugs? Yes. Yes, he was. The most addictive drug known to America. Racism. It causes wealth, an inflated sense of self, and hallucinations.
I studied the American Civil War, the U.S. Civil Rights Movement, and colonialism in quite a bit of depth in school, so I expected to be fairly well-versed in the subject matter, but the book still taught me a lot of things. I was especially interested in the origin story of American racism and how Kendi traced the history back to a man he calls the "first racist".
It was also interesting - though, sadly, not surprising - to hear that the old "divide and rule" strategy played such a huge part in the formation of racist ideas. Every student who has studied colonialism knows all too well how those two words in tandem are the cause of so much war, destruction and prejudice. The British did it in India, leading to partition. The Germans and Belgians did it in Rwanda, leading to one of history's worst genocides. And a governor did it in Virginia to pit poor whites and black people against one another:
But the governor knew if Blacks and Whites joined forces, he'd be done. Everything would be done. It would've been an apocalypse. So, he had to devise a way to turn poor Whites and poor Blacks against each other, so that they'd be forever separated and unwilling to join hands and raise fists against the elite. And the way he did this was by creating (wait for it… ) White privileges.
If the racist, anti-immigrant rhetoric circling round the poor white communities of today's America is anything to go by, this policy has had consequences that are still being felt in 2020.
The Civil Rights Era stuff was mostly an overview of what I already knew, but it is essential reading for those unfamiliar with it. It introduces readers to the usual suspects-- MLK, Malcolm X, Booker T. Washington, Du Bois, Angela Davis, Marcus Garvey and Stokely Carmichael, to name but a few, and it looks at how racist thinking has not always escaped black writers and activists themselves. I was also pleased that the book spent a little time looking at the overlap of gender, sexuality and racism, and how black women and queer black women have had to deal with prejudice from different angles.
I took a number of things from the later chapters, as well. I just remembered how very much I want to reread Roots: The Saga of an American Family, which I thought was excellent when I first read it and I was too young to really appreciate what I was reading. I also did not know the Rocky franchise was basically racist propaganda. Now I don't need to feel bad that I've never seen it.
Reynolds also explained the "War on Drugs" to me, in simple terms, so I feel like, for the first time, I actually understand what happened there and how drugs became such a major part of perpetuating racial inequality in America.
There's a lot going on this book, and it's a testament to Reynolds's writing skills that it never feels overcrowded or overwhelming. Put this in the hands of all American teens.

Big History at its best, it´s showing the important connection between past atrocities and current systems, between old ideologies and their new, subtle, dishonest disguises. Just because something isn´t easy to spot as a malady from the past doesn´t mean that it´s cured, that society is vaccinated, that it´s not a hidden plague still metastasizing, mutating to new forms, evolving to a more politically correct chimera level. Not just the weird ideology mixups of old and new extremist groups, but Big History at its best, it´s showing the important connection between past atrocities and current systems, between old ideologies and their new, subtle, dishonest disguises. Just because something isn´t easy to spot as a malady from the past doesn´t mean that it´s cured, that society is vaccinated, that it´s not a hidden plague still metastasizing, mutating to new forms, evolving to a more politically correct chimera level. Not just the weird ideology mixups of old and new extremist groups, but especially the ones who deem themselves sophisticated, enlightened, and mostly privileged people, who don´t get the whole picture and impede and delay real, substantial change by promoting a dysfunctional, deeply unfair system and having or simulating a blind eye for the cognitive dissonances inside their minds, political parties, and well meaning NGOs.
It´s telling that conventional history just keeps talking about the numbers, names, and obvious actions, but strangely and suspiciously avoids linking them to too hot, controversial, and thereby dangerously true, political, social, and especially economic topics and contemporary history. Would look too bad and open too many questions, not really correspond to what is usually talked about in history class, education prefers memorizing names, places, and numbers instead of reflecting, interpreting, and questioning how we came to where we are. But at least the bigotry is consequent, because the devastating results of this history of shame are concealed and downplayed in most media too.
Of course, schools can´t teach critical thinking, where could that end, instead they just keep helping to create underprivileged, poor white people´s prejudices by not detecting their racist ideas to keep them fighting against the minorities, blacks, anyone in bad, oldfashioned divide et impera style, and by not stopping to keep relativizing a horrible, disgusting past or at least preventing radicalization. Far too many implications and unwanted questions because of the parallels to the second half of the second millennium after whatever, the escalating current problems, the colonial system, world history, the real economic and ideological reason for the war on drugs, redlining, and all the other atrocities.
Openly admitting and explaining to the kids that government, media, and faith used, uses, and will use propaganda and psychological warfare elements to keep the population from rebelling isn´t what the Board of Education department for the promotion of functional illiterates barely able to decipher the fake sockpuppet candidates to actively participate in a dead democracy where all parties promote the same mad, exponential growth, no sustainability or distributive justice course, wants. Ever wondered why Big History seems to just be storming the bestselling lists, but no classrooms or curricula? They prefer the Hollywood fantasy happy go lucky endings of history where, as soon as some superficial laws, but not the underlying problems and missing wealth distribution, are changed, all is a democratic, equal, and fair wonderland.
That´s why such marvelously researched and fact based books with very modern approaches towards both arguing and opening new debates are essential, although they make much of the establishment, especially economics and politics, shiver in fear. Such a realistic, hard, and direct evaluation of both history and present day lets their common platitudes seem even more bizarre, wrong, and unscientific.
The approach of trying to make something as understandable as possible to reach the biggest audience, is often better than very good, but too detailed, specific, and complex bricks of books. In this rare case, there is the old, big, fat edition and the new, shiny, short one and I am not sure if I should still read his original Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
because I guess that most of the essential parts have been converted in this easier to read form for younger audiences. It was the only option before this new edition, now it´s certainly something for history nerds and I don´t know if it offers just more data or also more essential thesis that makes it worth reading.
Anyhow it would be a good idea for other, progressive, critical authors, citizen journalists, social critics, whistleblowers,.. to shorten and simplify their works to be more appealing for younger audiences, especially cutting out anecdotes, unnecessary complicated academic language that is promoting the author´s ego, and wordiness about numbers, names, and places, and possibly cooperating with professional fiction authors who know how to write thrilling and suspenseful. That could open the gates for the exponentiation of readers both important, but self blocking, authors and audiences could benefit from, not to forget society.

Subjective opinion:
Something disturbing comes to my mind when there is this talk about reappraisal, compensation, and justice. It is close to 400 years between the so called Exploration of North America and the end of slavery in 1865, and just 80 years from then until the end of WW2 in 1945. Depending on the national perspective, a very strange system of illogical argumentations, constructed out of

Just to rename places, streets, buildings, etc. that are named in the honor of all the mass murderers participating in colonizing the world and establishing dictatorships for centuries, is already a very hot topic for whatever stupid reasons described in the links. The same mechanism sets in when it´s about doing the same with names associated with slavery. But now, mind game, jump over the pond and imagine the same thing in Europe. So it´s obviously unthinkable to have anything related to glorifying the unspeakable atrocities of WW2, but perfectly fine to still downplay or even kind of celebrate and glorify the same, earlier, often close to genocidal

This was a reworking of Ibram X. Kendi's Stamped From the Beginning, told in a way that is accessible for a younger/teen audience. Kendi wrote a forward in this and I really enjoyed that part so I will definietly be reading his book next.
I listened to this on audio and Jason narrated it himself. I have listened to a few of his audiobooks and his narration is always incredible. As a white person who grew up in the south there is so much about the history of slavery that I did not know. And so much of it that was twisted or left without context to fit a narrative. Jason did a great job at breaking it down and exposing a lot of the history that textbooks left out.
If you are already very well versed in black history I don't know how much you would get from this but I highly recommend it for anyone who is looking for a first step to educating yourself. ...more

Amongst all the anti-racist literature that is out there, this is one of the ones that needs to be heard, listened to and read and understood.
It was simultaneously empowering and exhausting to listen to. Props to Jason Reynolds, Ibram X. Kendi and the production team for bringing this book to life.

This is a condensed, YA version of Ibram X. Kendi's novel, Stamped From the Beginning. But as condensed as it was, it'll still leave you with information that'll have your mind enriched.
The aim was for it to highlight how our current present is a product of the past, of the history that came before us and how this book now presents a new history almost to the one that has been regurgitated. In other words, the truth. Because it's only with truthful knowledge and honest conversations surrounding the injustices that have occurred and still keep occurring, that will allow us to shape our future better. ...more

This was absolutely phenomenal. I haven't read the original by Ibram X. Kendi yet, but I certainly plan to after listening to Jason Reynolds' magnificent YA re-working of it. I don't know how much this book will help educate many of the Black individuals in my lives who grew up knowing this information and who work hard for civil rights, but as a white person who was raised in the deep south, so much of the truth that Jason Reynolds revealed here was painfully skimmed over in my upbringing and education. I feel like I learned things that I should have known a long time ago, and I was certainly reminded of how little I will ever truly grasp the Black experience, especially here in the US. But it also reminded me that there are always things I can do as long as I keep learning and listening and do everything in my power to be anti-racist.
I'd also like to say that Reynolds' narration skills are unparalleled; he's so much fun to listen to, and I can see why so many people have raved to me now about audiobooks of his works. I could have listened to him for hours longer and I know I'll be reaching for audio formats of everything else he's written because it was just so enjoyable.

"But the thing about being Black is that just being can bring bloodshed."
Stamped is a fantastic starting point for anyone looking to learn more about the history of racism within America. It's a remix of the comprehensive book Stamped From the Beginning, meaning that the book has been condensed and made more accessible for a younger audience. I fully intend to go back and read Stamped From the Beginning, but this one gave me the foundation I really needed.
To put it bluntly - this book blew my mi "But the thing about being Black is that just being can bring bloodshed."
To put it bluntly - this book blew my mind. There was just so much I didn't know, that I wasn't even aware of, and Reynolds presents all this information in easily digestible bite-sized chunks. The history of racism is told chronologically, which makes the most sense of course, taking us from the story of the world's first racist in 1415 up until Obama's presidency.
The most eye-opening chapter for me was the one about the War on Drugs and how it was implemented to target the Black community. This has been referred to in a few podcasts I've listened to, but Reynolds lays it out in the most basic terms, explaining exactly how it was orchestrated. A drug dealer or user caught with FIVE grams of crack, typically handled by Blacks and poor people, faced a minimum five-year sentence, whereas the mostly White and rich users and dealers had to be caught with FIVE HUNDRED grams of powder cocaine to receive the same sentence. The same drug... just in a different form. Insanity, right?! Add in the fact that police officers policed Black neighbourhoods more, leading to more arrests. Shocking really. And this is only scratching the surface of the systemic racism that exists.
In a nutshell, this should be required reading in schools. It's highly informative yet accessible and I truly got a lot from this book. Reynolds does a fantastic job. Highly recommend! Bring on Stamped From the Beginning! 4.5 stars. ...more

His comprehensive historical, sociological, political, biographical "Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America," which won the National Book Award, is a professorial tome. Kendi is a distinguished academic. You don't have to buy into all of his ideas to admire this or any of his work, but it pays to wrestle with them. "Stamped..." covers the history of black people in America via copious cited research, covering complex ideas sometimes in complex language and with some very big ideas of his own.
With all the praise came a lot of feedback from people telling Kendi they were sorry they didn't have the book when they were younger. So this man who is bold enough to include "Definitive" in his title was also humble enough to take that on board and find a way to go one better. He asked his favorite YA writer, Jason Reynolds, award-winning author of prose and poetry in YA and middle-school categories, to write "The Remix," to rework and reimagine it for young people and thereby extend its reach and teach. I'm not making a qualitative comparison but naturally this reminded me of Lin-Manuel Miranda alchemizing Ron Chernow's biography of Alexander Hamilton into a hip-hop musical with an interracial cast.
I'm full of admiration for this work. Jason Reynolds's "Stamped: The Remix" is itself like a textbook, should be a textbook, for younger ones. He's done a brilliant job. And it's not just for YA and middle-school children. Every American young person, especially but not only the descendants of slaves, should be required to read it in school. But I remember my textbooks. They were, no pun intended, whitewashed. And flat. You weren't meant to engage with them but to swallow them, spit them back out and move on. I can't speak for others and I didn't pursue it in college but personally, honestly, almost all of the history I've learned has been on my own.
"The Remix" is a book for adults too. There's plenty to learn and think about in there. But it's not meant for us. If you have kids and can read it before or while they do, all the better. Because let's face it, this will never be taught in schools. Not in my lifetime. And in my opinion, even if this should make its way to curricula (as if), for those with kids in the age range, best to engage with it where some of the most important learning happens: at home.
Reynolds never condescends, he explains, nor does he dilute Kendi's work, he distills it. He includes controversial ideas including that black people have at times been racists too. The fluidity of Kendi's intellectualism is maintained. He doesn't skip slave auctions and lynching but writes about them in a way that won't give younger readers constant nightmares either. There will be time for that. Having written about the substance, I'm giving Reynolds the last word so anyone unfamiliar can sample the style of "The Remix":
"We can't attack a thing we don't know. That's dangerous. And… foolish. It would be like trying to chop down a tree from the top of it. So let's learn all there is to know about the tree of racism. The root. The fruit. The sap and trunk. The nests built over time, the changing leaves. That way, your generation can finally, actively chop it down." ...more

I am not happy with the lack of presenting a complete history to understand why some people may target others beyond race. For example, Ronald Reagan was alive during the Red Scare and actually was President Of the Screen Actor's Guild. He had to deal with the influx of Communists working in Hollywood and wanting to change the political/economic system of America, so it would be no surprise he would look at Davis as a Communist and therefore a threat to our country. Did he judge her for being black? I have no idea, but I know you have to take into account her political leanings also. This would be a great discussion to have with teenagers, and come to their own conclusions about people. I agree whole heartedly that standardized tests are not fair to students in poverty, no matter the race. I know it is hurting our students, and it makes me angry on their behalf. But, there is a specific reference to it putting pressure on Black teachers and Black students. NO, NO, NO...it puts pressure on any teacher who cares about these students and their futures. That deeply offended me! But, I can put that aside for the importance of the topic in the book. My deepest disappointment was the fact that nothing was recommended or suggested for how to change things or how to have conversations about antiracisim. I want a book on that!!!! I want a book that can help us bridge this canyon and start real conversation on a topic we all avoid. ...more

For readers/listeners, STAMPED may be a start or a continuation to embracing antiracist behavior. That's why it's critical for this to be integrated into education. Don't wait! Read it. Share it! ...more

Still reeling after finishing this advanced review copy written by Jason Reynolds and based on the work of Dr. Ibram X. Kendi. I finished it and immediately wanted to start it again as I knew each read will offer up new knowledge. To see the history of racism wrapped up like this is sheer brilliance, necessary and audacious. Every person, teens and adults, should read this book, discuss this book and jump into action. This is the most important book I have read this year.

Now I will tell you all the truth when I heard they wear giving away arcs of Jason Reynolds's new book Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You. I jump at the chance to grab one of his books. I tell you I have not read any of his books before but I have heard amazingly fantastic reviews about his books so I wanted to grab this arc immediately when I saw it at ALA. Now I had no idea this fantastic book was a non-fiction book at first but when I got home and read the synopsis I was shocked to find out it was a non-fiction book and I was more shock when I realize it was a book that was already written by Ibram X. Kendi.
Now I was kind of disappointed at first this was a non-fiction book written by Jason Reynolds but the facts and stories in Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You are by Ibram X. Kendi. I am not a big nonfiction reader and I don't read a lot of nonfiction books but this book, this book I tell you all had me re-thinking to read more nonfiction books in the future. I think Jason Reynolds wrote this book for Ibram X. Kendi for younger readers and middle graders to better understand and learn the importance of Racism, Antiracism, and You in America today.
And oh my Jason Reynolds's writing style was pure brilliant and flawless that I understood every word he wrote in this book and I dare say is writing style will hook you from the very beginning as well. I have heard about Ibram X. Kendi that he is a really strong and very intelligent man that his books are very thought-provoking and will have you thinking about what is going on in the world in the past to this present day about Racism and Antiracism in America.
This amazing book has even opened up more of my eyes to the history of Racism and Antiracism from the past and present day. Now Ibram X. Kendi does state at the beginning of this book that Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You is not a history book and I can tell you it is not a history book but true stories and facts about Racism and Antiracism through the time and I love reading every story and facts in this book that I just couldn't put this book down that I finish reading this book in two days I just couldn't get enough of this book.
All and all I thoroughly loved and enjoyed reading Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You that I would like to read more nonfiction books like this one hopefully soon. I will most definitely try to read more books by Jason Reynolds as well. ...more

Stamped from the Beginning has been on my tbr since a long time, but as someone who tries to read a lot of books to escape reality (and the real world in general), I'm not always good at catching up with the important nonfiction books that bring light to the ugly truths that exist in our world.

But then came the announcement of this remix version Stamped from the Beginning has been on my tbr since a long time, but as someone who tries to read a lot of books to escape reality (and the real world in general), I'm not always good at catching up with the important nonfiction books that bring light to the ugly truths that exist in our world. But attending a talk and getting to listen to Dr. Kendi speak in such close quarters was truly eye opening and I knew that I had to read his book soon. But then came the announcement of this remix version of Stamped by Jason Reynolds and I thought I'll read it first, just to get an idea about the original that inspired it before deep diving into Dr. Kendi's work. And I think I made the right choice.
Firstly, I have to mention that I listened to the audiobook and Jason's narration is spectacular. There's just no other word for it. The whole book (and narration) feels like Jason is having a conversation with us, just explaining us the historical truth behind racism in a simple but effective manner, in a way that'll make us think and want to read more about all the racists and antiracist activists who are mentioned within these pages. He insists multiple times that this is not a history book, and it may not be in a conventional sense, but I feel it is indeed a historical account of the origin and perpetuation of racist ideas and an accounting of all the people who are responsible for the extremely racially divided world we live in today.
Just like what Dr. Kendi spoke about in his talk, Jason gives us clear distinctions between segregationists, assimilationists and antiracists and how the ideas each of them perpetuate have been a part of America since it's inception. But one clear point he makes is that every person can contain multitudes, have both racist and antiracist ideas, or gradually change our beliefs from one to the other - but the most important thing is that if we want to confront the racism that has been entrenched in American society for centuries and has been the backbone of all the prosperity that white people have enjoyed, it is not enough just to not be racist, we have to actively be antiracist and fight against any idea or policy that is not for complete racial equality.
There are a lot of historical figures who get mentions in this novel and as someone who doesn't know much about the revolutionary war or the founding fathers or even the Civil war, there were many things I was very surprised to learn, especially about Jefferson and Lincoln. As the narrative moves on to Jim Crow and later the world wars, we also get to know more about intellectuals and activists like W. E. B. Dubois or Booker T. Washington, MLK Jr and Malcolm X and even Bill Cosby - and the difference in their ideas, which were quite contradictory to each other and sometimes even harmful to black people in the long run.
Another narrative that I found throughout the book is how racists have used media and literature and even science to their advantage time and time again to give credence to their horrible ideas, and the inevitable fact that if you keep hammering people with a certain idea over and over, they will believe it to be the truth even though exactly opposite of that. I was appalled to read about some of the books and movies that were essentially used as propaganda at the right moments in history to provoke white rage and fear and lead to violence against black people. And I promise you, if you aren't aware of racist history much, then after reading this book, you will never see classic movies like Tarzan, Rocky or Planet of the Apes in the same light ever again.
This might feel abrupt and there is so much I could talk about this book, but ultimately it's a small one and I think you should read it for yourself. If you enjoyed Stamped from the Beginning and want an easier version of it for younger readers, or just want to read an accessible version of the book, you should totally check this out. It may not be comprehensive, but it is a brilliant concise account of the history of racist ideas in this country and also a wonderful beginning for any other future readings we might wanna do on these important topics. I also highly recommend the audiobook because Jason's narration brings fire to the writing and you'll not want to put it down at all. ...more

Not only is the book an important resource, but it's led to a lot of complex and engaging conversations with friends and family (most recently with my mom, a former US history teacher; and my husband, who I had a great discussion about code-switching with yesterday). The book has also allowed me to be more critical and thoughtful in the books I read and how I read them. In just this past month, I've read books touching on gentrification (Alyssa Cole's When She Was Gone), healthcare (Michele Harper's The Beauty in Breaking), colorism (The Vanishing Half), criminal justice (Tochi Onyebuchi's Riot Baby), and domestic abuse (Rachel Hozwell Hall's And Now She's Gone). Those books might not be considered historical texts in the way #StampedfromtheBeginning is, but they're historical in that they are reflective of and rooted in our country's history of white supremacy and systemic racism; something that dates back 100s of years and permeates every single aspect of our lives. Whereas I might have appreciated those books solely for their entertainment value a couple months ago, having read STAMPED, I now appreciate them for also keeping my eyes open to the many injustices that occur in this country every day. ...more

The book itself was informative and, dare I say, entertaining to read, if incredibly humbling and depressing. How little we've advanced in all of these years. I consumed it in one sitting. I wish some of the chapters were a little longer as it felt like it was moving at break-neck speed at times, but an enormous amount of information was packed in this tidy book.
An excellent book club selection and a must-read for someone who wants to learn more about the true history of America.
