In response to the financial crisis of 2007/2008, policymakers implemented comprehensive changes concerning the regulation and supervision of banks. Many of those changes, including Basel III or the directives pertaining to the Single Rulebook in the European Union (EU), are agreed upon at the supranational level, which constitutes a key step towards harmonized regulation and supervision in an integrated European financial market. However, the success of these reforms depends on the uniform and timely implementation at the national level. Avoiding strategic delays to implement EU regulation into national laws should thus constitute a main target of the G20.
Enhanced policy coordination as well as an effective and efficient global financial architecture were identified as pivotal objectives at the G20 meetings in Hangzhou 2016 to provide the foundation for stable growth patterns. Regulatory and supervisory changes to the financial architecture that are based on international agreements therefore represent a critical achievement towards integrated financial markets and an internationally effective regulatory framework.
Prominent examples include new rules on capital and liquidity regulation as specified in Basel III and the establishment of the European Banking Union in the Euro Area, which is codified in the Single Rulebook that applies to all member states of the EU. The European Banking Union consists of three pillars: the Single Resolution Mechanism, the Single Supervisory Mechanism, and the harmonization of Deposit Insurance Schemes. The objective is to improve existing resolution and recovery mechanisms and to ensure uniform supervision of the largest and systemically important banks in the Euro Area.
The inception of these three pillars is still incomplete. For example, how to harmonize exactly existing deposit insurance schemes in a way that balances interests to grandfather pre-funded, voluntary insurance schemes maintained by some banking sectors in selected EU countries, such as the savings bank sector in Germany, with the ability of a new insurance scheme to constitute a credible backstop in case of distress in some other member states, for example those that were subject to sovereign debt market turmoil in the past like Italy or Greece, remains unresolved. Clearly, interests, objectives, and constraints faced by different member states remain very different up and until today.
Reaching supranational agreements that represent the foundation of pan-European regulations as a first step are thus an achievement that cannot be overestimated. For example, G20 leaders support the implementation of Basel III, which is like the Banking Union partially implemented based on directives stemming from agreements made by the European Commission in the EU. This procedure corroborates that international coordination can be successful.
The main challenge after reaching agreements remains, however, to ensure timely and orderly implementation of these directives into national legislation. Otherwise, the pursuit of (short-run) national interests might give rise to strategic delays that might ultimately challenge the successful completion of steps towards integrated financial systems, and thus a unified Europe altogether. Monitoring the implementation of supranational regulation into national law following international agreements is therefore crucial. This holds both for the timing and the content-wise accuracy of regulatory reforms decided on at the supranational level, but implemented by national authorities.
Special attention is necessary if international agreements are not binding for individual national authorities. For example, Basel III sets up a regulatory framework that should be internationally applied but it is not legally binding across jurisdictions. Also, an important feature of EU directives in contrast to EU regulations is that national member states have some degree of flexibility regarding the implementation of those directives. This can result into severe differences in regulatory standards across countries and consequently pose a threat to the effectiveness and efficiency of the newly established financial architecture.
On the importance of a harmonized level playing field
Financial markets of the G20 countries are characterized by a high degree of integration. This allows for risk-sharing possibilities and the efficient allocation of capital, thus fostering sustainable growth. However, in integrated markets, country-specific regulatory shocks can result in international spillovers (Buch and Goldberg 2017). This implies that cross-border distortions in banks' risk-taking and lending decisions can arise; in particular, if regulatory standards as well as changes to regulation and supervision are not aligned across countries (Aiyar et al. 2014; Houston et al. 2012).
Yet not only decisions of bank managers can be influenced by international loopholes in regulation. Similar considerations apply to national regulators' incentives to tighten or loosen regulatory standards, which can be affected by the regulatory tightness abroad. Without doubt, allocating regulatory power to national authorities has the advantage that country heterogeneities can be accounted for. However, in contrast to a supranational regulator, national authorities might not take cross-border externalities of a multinational banks' failure into account imposing the threat to step in too late when it comes to the rescue of a globally important bank in distress (Beck et al. 2013).
The establishment of a level playing field in the financial sector, that is the alignment of regulatory and supervisory standards across countries, counters the before mentioned threats to financial stability. While similar standards are of importance in an international context, this applies the more so to highly interconnected markets like they exist in the EU and especially in the Euro Area. The reason is that different national regulatory frameworks can give rise to regulatory arbitrage and associated adverse outcomes in banking systems across countries. For example, higher regulatory costs in one country might result in increased borrowing costs, reduced loan supply, and increased risk-taking. Such differential treatments might consecutively undermine the uniform transmission of monetary policy across Euro Area countries.
Under this perspective, we comment in the following on key issues arising from the implementation of the directives of the Single Rulebook within European countries. These directives include the "Capital Requirements Directive IV" (CRD IV), the "Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive" (BRRD) and the "Deposit Guarantee Schemes Directive" (DGSD). More details on the directives are provided below. These EU directives have to be transposed into national law by all member states until the transposition deadline set by the European Commission. In contrast to EU regulations, they are not immediately legally binding and the European Commission can initiate an infringement process if national member states delay the implementation of the directive beyond the transposition deadline.
Pitfalls of harmonization due to existing loopholes
Delay of the implementation across countries
To render the European Banking Union an effective policy tool, EU member states first have to set up a legal framework, the Single Rulebook, based on which the three pillars of the European Banking Union are operationalized. Every member state should implement these harmonized regulatory rules as specified in the EU directives into national law until a transposition deadline. However, almost all member states failed to transpose the three directives of the Single Rulebook within the stipulated time. Despite impending infringement procedures by the European Commission, such delays are common practice if underlying directives are very complex and have to be evaluated by several (national) entities.
Transposition delays are problematic for a number of reasons. First, delays undermine the idea of a regulatory level playing field since latecomers can postpone regulatory costs which early transposers already carry. Second, delays might open the door for regulatory arbitrage if economic agents take advantage of the transition period to circumvent the new rules. Third, the Single Resolution Mechanism (SRM) illustrates that regulatory and legal uncertainty can emerge. Although the SRM has been officially effective since 2016, some countries had not yet implemented the underlying "Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive" until the start of the SRM. Strictly spoken, this implies that the SRM has not been effective across all Euro Area countries despite its officially announced implementation. The reason is that the SRM would not be operational in countries in which the legal foundation is missing.
Distinct content wise implementation across countries
Apart from the abovementioned transposition delays, EU directives are to some extent discretionary. Member states are provided with a considerable amount of flexibility to implement EU directives. As the case of the new bail-in regime of the European Banking Union shows, member states can alter the bail-in hierarchy. They can also choose the resolution authority. For example, Germany amended the ranking of liabilities in favor of deposits and specific other senior unsecured liabilities. Also, some member states have rejected the recommendation as specified in the "Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive" that the central bank should be the resolution authority. Instead, the prudential regulator, the debt management office, or the deposit insurance scheme has been empowered to restructure and resolve banks in distress. This flexibility comes with considerable drawbacks:
First, if discrepancies in regulation across countries relate to critical issues such as bank resolution, the resulting loopholes undermine the credibility of the whole regulatory reform. One recent example is the injection of public money into the ailing Italian bank "Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena" with limited contribution from their creditors. This occurred at a time when the SRM has already been operational. Furthermore, this is of high relevance because even small discrepancies across countries can open leakages and possibilities of cross-border arbitrage. In particular, accounting for the high degree of integration in banking markets in the Euro Area, the probability that banks make use of cross-border arbitrage is not to underestimate (Buch and Goldberg 2017; Danisewicz et al. 2015; Aiyar et al. 2014; Houston et al. 2012).
Second, choosing national institutions rather than supranational institutions as resolution authority, might result in a national inaction bias as well as national forbearance. National authorities might exploit their regulatory powers to protect the domestic banking system and thereby threaten the establishment of a level playing field as well as the effectiveness of the regulation. Recent experiences during the financial crisis have shown that national supervisors might not take externalities of the failure of a multinational bank that arise abroad into account (Colliard 2015; Beck et al. 2013; Dell'Arriccia and Marquez 2006). In addition, restructuring and resolving banks that are active across borders might remain subject to coordination failures if several national authorities are involved (Calzolari et al. 2016).
Monitoring by supranational authority
To circumvent the aforementioned pitfalls in implementing supranational regulation at the national level, our recommendations are twofold. First, we propose stricter monitoring of the authorities that are responsible for the implementation at the national level by the supranational authority. In case of the Single Rulebook, this would imply transferring more power to the European Commission in gaining insights into the status of the transpositions process of EU directives into national law. The European Commission can start infringement processes against member states that delay the implementation of directives with respect to the transposition deadline. Nevertheless, a common finding is that delays are rather the rule than the exception as concerns the implementation of EU directives (see, for example, König and Luetgert 2009, Kaeding 2006). This questions whether transposition deadlines are set in a too ambitious way or whether existing penalties are too soft to provide sufficient incentives for member states to transpose a directive in time.
Transparency about national implementation
Second, monitoring should not only be related to the timing of the implementation of supranational regulations but also evaluate whether the concrete national execution deviates from the general suggestion on how to implement the directive. The usage of directives by the European Commission is driven by the reasoning that countries can adopt the regulation in accordance with their institutional setting or existing regulatory framework. Thus, some degree of flexibility in the concrete implementation at the national level is intended and can also increase efficiency. However, it raises problems if national deviations from the general suggestion are hidden in the legislative process and bear the risk of cross-country distortions. Hence, we recommend complementing the Single Market Scoreboard of the European Commission by making all national discretions transparent.

Existing Initiatives & Analysis
Harmonizing financial markets in the EU has been the key objective of the Financial Services Action Plan (FSAP) in 1999. The action plan aimed at "establishing a single market in wholesale financial services, making retail markets open and secure and strengthening the rules on prudential supervision."1 After the financial crisis starting in 2007/2008, reforming the regulatory and supervisory framework of the financial sector included the adjustment of capital and liquidity requirements. The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision presented a new regulatory framework (Basel III) in December 2010. The G20 leaders have agreed on the Basel III framework during the G20 Seoul Summit. Recently, harmonization of regulation and supervision of banks located in EU countries is taking place through the introduction of the Single Rulebook, respectively the European Banking Union for banks located in Euro Area countries.
Existing Agreements
G20 Hangzhou Summit 2016
Existing agreements related to this proposal include the G20 leaders' communique in 2016 pointing out the relevance of policy coordination and the establishment of a resilient financial framework based on BASEL III, standards on total-loss-absorbing capacity and the establishment of international resolution regimes.
G20 Saint Petersburg Summit 2013
Related issues have also been referred to in the G20 leaders' communique in 2013, in which an agreement has been reached to build resilient financial institutions and counteract the too-big-to-fail problem in the banking system.
G20 Pittsburgh Summit 2009
Furthermore, the leaders of the G20 have already raised in the 2009 meetings the point that the resilience of the international financial system has to be strengthened by raising high quality capital, reducing pro-cyclicality, and finding a solution for the resolution of international and systemically important banks.
Existing Policies and Monitoring
Single Rulebook
The legal framework of the European Banking Union is based on the Single Rulebook. The Single Rulebook foresees the unification of supervision and resolution of banks in EU countries. It consists of three main directives and one regulation: - Capital Requirements Directive IV (CRD IV): 2013/36/EU directive with the transposition deadline being 31.12.2013. - Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR): 575/2013/EU regulation in place since 01.01.2014. - Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD): 2014/59/EU directive with the transposition deadline set to 31.12.2014. - Deposit Guarantee Schemes Directive (DGSD): 2014/49/EU directive with the main transposition deadline set to 03.07.2015.
European Banking Union
The European Banking Union constitutes the new regulatory framework for the banking system of the Euro Area. EU countries outside the Euro Area can opt in on a voluntary basis. The European Banking Union has three main pillars: - Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) effective since 04.11.2014. - Single Resolution Mechanism (SRM) operating since 01.01.2015. - European Deposit Insurance Scheme (EDIS) as outlined in a legislative proposal by the European Commission on 24.11.2015.

Toward Global Paradigm Change
This vision brief may be summarized by the following points. First, the crisis of the liberal world order arises from a misalignment of our social, economic and political domains of activity, along with a resulting destabilization of our physical environment. The integration of the global economy has generated problems that extend beyond our current bounds of social and political cooperation. Second, extending our social cooperation – on which basis our political cooperation can be extended as well – requires the creation of the appropriate moral narratives. These narratives must guide business strategies, public policies and civic activities. Third, these narratives must be supplemented by multilevel governance structures that address challenges at the scale – micro, meso and macro – at which these challenges arise. Finally, past human experience in developing moral narratives, supported by multilevel governance structures, suggests guidelines for a future form of multilateralism that enables us to meet this challenge.

Policy and Institutional Framework for Delivering on Sustainable Infrastructure
We propose that G20 countries build a robust upstream policy and institutional framework for delivering on sustainable infrastructure. Specifically, such a framework should include coherent growth strategies and well-articulated investment plans, comprehensive infrastructure plans, a sound project prioritization framework, and procurement policies that integrate sustainability criteria. Additionally, G20 countries should work with Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) to build sound platforms to bring together all relevant stakeholders to help attract and evaluate investments in sustainable infrastructure.

Sure, "All My Exes Live In Texas" is a novelty song, to be fair, but does it deserve to be included on an online list of "worst songs in Texas history" right next to "Ice Ice Baby"?
Apparently a survey of 1,000 Texans believe so, according to Super Bash Houston. The Super Bowl weekend festival group commissioned the survey and asked 1,000 random Texans to name their state's worst song about Texas or performed by a Texan. The results were diverse.
While King George scored towards the more favorable end of the survey (thank God), with just 12 percent of those surveyed thinking that "All My Exes" is THE WORST, the artist responsible for the survey's worst song was the Waco-born Ashlee Simpson. Her 2004 song "La La" led the pack with 25 percent of the vote.
"Most festivals try to guess what your favorite songs are, we went the extra mile to find out what songs and artists you really hate and guarantee you won't hear them at the Super Bash," said Houston Super Bash co-founder Joe Paonessa in a news release.

Note: I'm reposting here the original announcement from Florent Angly on the BioPerl mail list.
Some time ago, I announced that I was working on a set of BioPerl modules collectively forming the Bio-Community distribution. These Moose-based modules provide objects to represent communities, metacommunities and their members, and they also provide many methods to interact with them, perform various ecological operations (e.g. rarefaction, taxonomic summary, subsampling), and to read/write them to file in multiple formats.
Obviously, this is just the beginning for these modules and I hope that interested developers will join me to expand them.


I'm literally obsessed, OBSESSED with the W Magazine's new December 2013 cover for "The Art Issue." I can't get enough of it. What a playful use of color and pattern, and doesn't George Clooney look great? So unexpected. Clooney is wearing a Giorgio Armani suit, shirt, and shoes, customized by Yayoi Kusama. According to W's site, In the late '60s, Kusama's celebrity rivaled that of Andy Warhol. A central figure on the New York avant-garde scene, Kusama was famous for her delicately patterned abstract canvases, soft furniture with phalluses, and happenings in which she painted naked participants with her now signature polka dots. She also had her own clothing shop, where she sold her racy designs. But when the emotional issues that had plagued her since childhood proved overwhelming, she quit New York and entered a Tokyo psychiatric hospital, where she has resided ever since. You may also recognize Kusama's work from the Louis Vuitton collaborations a year or two ago. The December 2013 issue of W magazine is on newsstands now.

This fall, my humble little design blog turned 4! This August also marks my 4-year anniversary of moving to New York City. How time flies. I started this blog while attending Pratt Institute and earning my Design MFA. In a Motion Design studio we were to document process and inspiration for the semester and speak about design. Now, almost 200 posts and 61,000 views later my blog is still chugging along. Today there's a tighter focus design, be it Scandinavian design, textiles, prints and patterns, photography, advertising, fashion or my rants about life. While this blog is no "Design Sponge," or the myriad of other blogs out there, it servers as an opportunity for me to share what I'm into, curate content and write about design. This has been particularly useful for getting jobs and getting my name out there, something I never expected. So I just wanted to say thanks for browsing and following me these 4 years. So here's to the next 4!

Closer is the second book by Scott Schuman of the Sartorialist, the blog that inspired a million clones and turned street style blogging into the industry it is today. I bought his first book, The Sartorialist, when I moved to New York and totally feel in love. So I was trilled to learn Schuman was releasing a sequel. What I enjoy most about Closer is the diversity of images and the way Schuman plays with contrast in the spreads. One spread might show two people dressed head-to-toe in white, but each outfit is still individually unique. Another spread might show two people wearing similar colors, patterns, or type of dress, but each person wears it their own way. These patterns are so thoughtfully arranged and paced which adds to the experience of reading it. There's also nice contrast between ages in Closer. It's touching to see pictures of children beside adults and realize that at any age, one can be playful with style.
I've posted a sampling of my favorites but I highly recommend that you pick up the book for yourself! All Schuman's books should be experienced in person as they each give an intimate look into how we dress and express ourselves through clothes. So get into it!
This is a great project – looooove the images.
While looking through the March fashion magazines, Kenzo's Spring 2013 ads caught my eye with their bold colors, prints and layout. Compared to other advertising in the March issues, these really stand out. Also I can't get enough of the bold patterns! Now I can't truly see myself wearing something like this, but I'm very into the pattern mixing that's trending right now. I love how playful and graphic these combiations are. From a textile/pattern design standpoint, fashion is a great place to be inspired. And Kenzo's Spring 2013 collection is a great place to look for new ideas.

Yesterday I blogged about Grace Coddington, Creative Director at Vogue and her uninspiring memoir Grace. After ranting about my disappointment with her memoir, I wanted to show you how it's done. Everyone knows about Anna Wintour, but before Anna there was Diana! Diana Vreeland is best known for holding the top position at American Vogue and her earlier years at Harper's Bazaar. As she famously said, "I wasn't a fashion editor, I was THE ONE AND ONLY fashion editor." After the magazines, Vreeland staged another career comeback by transforming the Met's Costume Institute from a sleepy storage facility into a vibrant and wildly popular wing of the museum. Under Vreeland's leadership the Met housed 15 blockbuster shows, much like the hugely popular shows at the Costume Institute today.
I speak of this very often — and as soon as I stop speaking the pearls disappear.
How amazing would it be to read a larger collection of these memos?? Just like Vreeland said herself, I'd DIE to get my hands on a copy of Visionaire 37 that published 150 of Vreeland's office memos. I'm sure one day they'll surface in a larger collection. So until that is published, check out the a-mazing documentary and the book! You won't regret it!

U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) recently unveiled new legislation aimed at lowering the cost of prescription drugs during an event at Munson Medical Center in Traverse City.
Americans pay—by far—the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs. Prices for the most popular brand-name drugs have risen 208% from 2008 to 2016, according to AARP.
The bipartisan Know the Lowest Price Act (S.2553) cracks down on outrageous gag clauses that stop pharmacists from telling customers that they could pay less for their prescription if they pay out of pocket.
The Empowering Medicare Seniors to Negotiate Drug Prices Act (S.1688) would allow the Secretary of Health and Human Services to directly negotiate with drug companies for price discounts of their drugs under Medicare Part D, which is banned under current law.
And the Affordable and Safe Prescription Drug Importation Act (S. 469) authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services to issue regulations permitting wholesalers, licensed U.S. pharmacies, and individuals to import drugs from licensed Canadian sellers that are manufactured at facilities inspected by the Food and Drug Administration. Currently, Americans pay about 40 percent more on prescriptions per person than Canadians do.
More details on Senator Stabenow's prescription drugs legislation may be found here.

Mandela's grandson faces racist abuse over Western Sahara solidarity
Zwelivelile Mandla Mandela in a speech called the Moroccan-controlled territory Africa's 'last colony' provoking fury from the kingdom
Late South African President Nelson Mandela's grandson, Chief Mandla Mandela, joins hundreds of demonstrators at a pro-Palestine march on 2 June 2018 (AFP)

The grandson of former South African President Nelson Mandela has provoked a storm of racist abuse online after he referred to Morocco-controlled Western Sahara as Africa's "last colony" in a speech.
Speaking at the opening of the African Nations Championship football tournament on Friday in Algiers, Zwelivelile Mandla Mandela called for the "liberation" of Palestine and Western Sahara.
"We say that, in his [Nelson Mandela] honour, let us not forget the last colony of Africa, Western Sahara, let us fight to free Western Sahara from oppression," he told the crowd.
The comments provoked fury from Morocco, who denounced them as "provocative" while the African Nations Championship organisers, the Confederation of African Football, said on Sunday it would be opening an investigation into the issue.
On social media, in the days following the controversy, Mandela was subjected to a wave of criticism from Moroccans, as well as racist abuse including monkey pictures.

"Shame on you and your family name to attack Morocco's territorial sovereignty. It's wrong for you to do so, you destroy your grandfather's legacy and you look like an ignorant," wrote one user to his Twitter account.
Another user wrote: "how much is your price n***er? I would like to buy you to herd some camels I have from Moroccan Sahara."
Others users claimed he had been bought off by 2023 CHAN host nation Algeria, which has long been a supporter of Western Sahara independence.
"The new slave face of Algerian petrodollars. Come and try to penetrate the Morocco Sahara, then you will see what are we doing with terrorist like you," one user wrote.
During the CHAN opening match in the Algerian capital, video also emerged of Algerian fans chanting against Morocco, denouncing them as "animals" and saying "give them bananas".
The African Nations Championship takes place once every two years and is organised by the Confederation of African Football since 2009.
Morocco has claimed Western Sahara as part of its territory since the end of Spanish colonial rule in 1975.
Though that status has long been disputed internationally, in December 2020 then-US President Donald Trump agreed to recognise Moroccan sovereignty over the territory in exchange for Moroccan recognition of Israel, a position the current Biden administration has not reversed.
Sahrawi campaigners have regularly faced arrest, raids and violence from Moroccan authorities in the territory, with several female activists in particular being threatened with, and subjected to, sexual assault.
Between 1975 and 1991, the Polisario Front - an Algeria-backed Sahrawi group - fought an armed struggle with Morocco for independence for Western Sahara.
In 1991, a ceasefire was established that broke down in November 2020, leading to resurgent violence and the deterioration of relations between Morocco and Algeria.
Since then, Sahrawi campaigners have complained of an intensifying crackdown by Moroccan authorities.

Q: java: how to convert this string to ArrayList? String text = '[["item1","item2","item3"], ["some", "item"], ["far", "out", "string"]]';

I would like to iterate over each individual ArrayList. I don't know how to turn that string into appropriate ArrayList object.

A: This syntax looks like a subset of JSON, and I would guess that the client side is actually encoding it as JSON.  Assuming that is true, the simplest approach will be to use an off-the-shelf JSON parser, and some simple Java code to convert the resulting objects into the form that your code requires.
Sure, you could implement your own parser by hand, but it is probably not worth the effort, especially if you have to deal with string escaping, possible variability in whitespaces and so on.  Don't forget that if you implement your own parser, you NEED TO IMPLEMENT UNIT TESTS to make sure that it works across the full range of expected valid input, and for invalid input as well.  (Testing the cases of invalid input is important because you don't want your server to fall over if some hacker sends requests containing bad input.)
Before you go any further, you really need to confirm the exact syntax that the client is sending you.  Just looking at an example is not going to answer that.  You either need a document specifying what the syntax is, or you need to look at the client / application source code.

A: Here's a simple parser, it should deal with all kinds of abusive nesting and will be robust to single and double quotes -- but it won't care if you mix them 'test" is treated equivalent to "test".
edit: added comments, and now it deals with escaped quotes in strings. (and now improved string token handling even more)
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.StringReader;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

public class StringToList {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{
        StringReader sr = new StringReader("[[\"it\\\"em1\", \"item2\",\"item3\"], [\"some\",\"item\"], [\"far\",\"out\",\"string\"]]");
        System.out.println(tokenize(sr));
    }

    @SuppressWarnings({ "rawtypes", "unchecked" })
    public static List tokenize(StringReader in) throws IOException{
        List stack = new ArrayList<Object>();
        int c;
        while((c = in.read()) != -1){
            switch(c){
            case '[':
                // found a nested structure, recurse..
                stack.add(tokenize(in));
                break;
            case ']':
                // found the end of this run, return the
                // current stack
                return stack;
            case '"':
            case '\'':
                // get the next full string token
                stack.add(stringToken(in));
                break;
            }
        }

        // we artificially start with a list, though in principle I'm
        // defining the string to hold only a single list, so this
        // gets rid of the one I created artifically.
        return (List)stack.get(0);
    }

    public static String stringToken(StringReader in) throws IOException{
        StringBuilder str = new StringBuilder();
        boolean escaped = false;
        int c;
        outer: while((c = in.read()) != -1){
            switch(c){
            case '\\':
                escaped = true;
                break;
            case '"':
            case '\'':
                if(escaped){
                    escaped = false;
                }else{
                    break outer;
                }
            default:
                str.append((char)c);
            }
        }
        return str.toString();
    }

}

Just a couple of notes: this won't enforce your syntax to be correct, so if you do something goofy with the quotes, like I described, it might still get parsed as (un)expected.  Also, I don't enforce commas at al, you don't even need a space between the quotes, so ["item1""item2"] is just as valid using this parser as ["item1", "item2"], but perhaps more oddly, this thing should also deal with ["item1"asdf"item2"] ignoring asdf.

A: Since you are using a string that looks like JSON, I would just use a JSON parser.  One of the simplest to uses is gson.  Here is an example using gson:
String text = '[["item1","item2","item3"], ["some", "item"], ["far", "out", "string"]]';
GSON gson = new GSON();
ArrayList<ArrayList<String>> list = gson.fromJson(text, new TypeToken<ArrayList<ArrayList<String>>>() {}.getType());

Here is the gson site: http://code.google.com/p/google-gson/

A: You need to build a parser by hand. It's not hard, but it will take up time.
In the previous comment you said you want an ArrayList of ArrayList... hmmm... good
Just parse the string char by char and recognize each token by first defining recursive parsing rules. Recursive descendant parser rules are usually graphical, but I can try to use ABNF for you
LIST = NIL / LIST_ITEM *( ',' SP LIST_ITEM)
LIST_ITEM = NIL / '[' STRING_ITEM *(, SP STRING ITEM) ']'
STRING_ITEM = '"' ANYCHAR '"'
SP = space
ANYCHAR = you know, anything that is not double quotes
NIL = ''

Another approach is to use Regular Expressions. Here are a couple of samples. First capture outer elements by
(\[[^\]]*\])

The above regex capture everything from '[' to the first ']', but you need to modify it or cut the brackets from your string (just drop first and last char)
Then capture inner elements by
(\"[^\"]\")

Simple as the above

The following message was sent to the Emory community on Nov. 20, 2020, by President Gregory L. Fenves and Interim Provost Jan Love:
Dear Emory community,
There is no event or experience more representative of excellence and achievement at Emory — or that is cherished more by us as president and provost — than Commencement, where we celebrate the successes of our graduating students. Recognizing the important milestone that Commencement offers, we are pleased to share that we are moving forward with plans to hold a modified in-person ceremony in May 2021.
As with so many aspects of our lives today, we will need to be creative in adapting traditional elements of our ceremonies while incorporating COVID-19 health and safety protocols. For this reason, we have contracted to host enhanced diploma ceremonies at the Georgia World Congress Center (GWCC), located a short drive from campus in the heart of downtown Atlanta.
Although we are still confirming details, and we are cognizant that our plans will need to align with the Georgia and Atlanta event guidelines in place next May, we did want to provide you with preliminary information so you can plan around these dates:
We anticipate graduate and professional school diploma ceremonies will take place Friday, May 14, with all undergraduate ceremonies, including Oxford College, scheduled for Saturday, May 15.
Each graduating student will be invited to bring up to two guests; additional family and friends may share in the activities via live (and on-demand replay) webcasts of the ceremonies. We will also find ways to recognize and honor those students who cannot attend in person.
Plans are also being developed to celebrate the Class of 2020 in person on May 16, for those able to return or those desiring to attend virtually from their locations around the world. The Class of 2020 graduates will also be invited to bring up to two guests as we recognize their academic accomplishments.
Protecting the health and safety of our community remains paramount. Holding our Commencement ceremonies at the GWCC provides us with the space we need for our graduates and guests while adhering to our campus protocols — including distancing, face coverings, and hygiene measures — as well as adhering to the safety standards required by the GWCC.
Since the pandemic is still evolving, our Commencement plans may need to be adjusted as planning progresses. A complete schedule of events will be available as details are confirmed, and any new developments will be promptly communicated.
As we approach the close of our fall semester, we hope that you will join us in looking forward, anticipating the opportunity to come together in celebration of the remarkable, resilient graduates of Emory University.

Energy Talk? Why? You don't have to be a bodybuilder to successfully speak HUMAN talk.
Energy Talk. It's here, there, and everywhere. Except, surprise! Energy talk can be bad for you. Find out why, and how you can stoppit.
If you think about it, soon you'll realize what has crept in. Crept into everyday conversation. Maybe seeming cute. Or trendy.
But potentially dangerous to your peace of mind. Unless you do something about it.
This blog post will introduce you to a solution. Not just a problem.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. has changed my life. How about you?
I have a dream too. On America's only national holiday dedicated to a person of faith and visionary social courage, I have a big dream.
It begins with a dream that America will progress rapidly towards accepting the equality of all people in our country. Black lives do matter, and it's time that some Americans stopped projecting their worst fears onto people with darker skin.
Latino lives matter also, and Asian-American lives, and the lives of Native Americans; biracial lives and white lives — all our lives matter.
A dream can make a person hungry. I am hungry for us to recognize how all of us belong to the ethnic group called "Human." And then behave accordingly.
This part of my dream, even the hunger, is not unusual. But here comes the part that is.
Gladys works for a boss on the train to Crazyland. What to do if that's happening to your boss, too.
Problem-solving happens a lot in RES sessions. Today I helped my client Gladys deal with her boss JOE.
In general, her intention for this research session was "Enjoy my life more." In particular, she asked me to pull out an energetic hologram from a troubling conversation she had just had with her boss.
What Happened? In Objective Reality, What Really Occurred?
The event was described simply enough. At work yesterday Gladys's boss began to ask a series of questions. More details were requested than usual, and however Gladys answered this interrogation, more requests kept on coming: Questions answered, then more questions as though Gladys' answers had been inadequate.
Uusually Joe was picky, but not this picky. Gladys began feeling uneasy.
Together all of us are bringing truth into this world.
Gee, we're so close to year's end that I almost named this blog post "What I Learned in 2015 as an Enlightenment Coach." But there's plenty more learning left, no doubt. Witness the surge of joy I feel about adding today's article.
Isn't There Really Just One Kind of Enlightenment?
Only if you prefer an answer without nuance.
Which could be a beautiful reason, because why mess with perfection?
One example might be… if your joy and delight make it seem as though there couldn't possibly be any other kind.
No need to blush, British readers. In fact I think all you Blog-Buddies will be able to handle today's article just fine — and without trembling — when I recount the tossing away of my first reaction to Marie Kondo's method for Tidying Up.
If you don't get how WILDLY controversial my language about "tossing" is here ;-), just check out yesterday's blog post, Comment #7.
And definitely, everyone, you can anticipate an inspiring tale of less is more. Specifically I'm going to share some ideas I discarded, and some perspective I gained, on the perennially important art of tidying up.
What is the main thing I learned? And how might this be very useful to you, as well?


In an effort to learn more about mayoral candidate Kenneth Whalum, Yas Meen and Monique Stevens visited the reverend's New Olivet Baptist Church Sunday morning. But they claim the experience resulted verbal attacks and expulsion from the church.
"I had been having political debates with my partner about who to vote for for mayor. I said Whalum was the man to vote for, and she was going for Herenton," Meen says. "We decided to go to [Whalum's] church to see what he was all about."
Meen says many in the congregation were giving them dirty looks as soon as they sat down. But she says the real trouble started when the women — who are both agnostic — opted out of a "sanctified dance" that supposedly involved congregants dancing in the aisles, laying on the floor to pray, and blowing kisses to God.
"People were telling us we needed to blow kisses, and I said, I don't communicate with my higher power like that," says Meen, who admitted to feeling uncomfortable with New Olivet's unique style of worship. She said Whalum directly called them out for not participating.
Later, when Stevens placed her arm around Meen, the women claim a security guard asked the two to leave the church. He said he'd already called the police. The women allege that a group of about 25 young men pushed them out of the church while others taunted them with calls of "demon" and "devil worshipper." Stevens' glasses were broken and she suffered scratches and bruises.
"I was there to support him as mayor, but he won't be getting my vote now," Meen says. "If he's going to act like that in church, how will he act in front of [the citizens of Memphis]?"
Whalum was not immediately available for comment, but if he does return Flyer phone calls, we'll be certain to update the story at that time.
According to the New Olivet's website, the church offers "compassion and refuge, reaching out to a lost and hurting world that needs salvation and purpose."

Spring break is approaching and the seniors at Walled Lake Central are counting down the days until they get to go off on vacation with their friends. Many of them, especially girls, have started to get in shape for the warm weather.
Although diets have been popular in the past, most girls have been avoiding going on a full fledged dieting plan. "I have just been trying to lower my carb intake and drink lots of water and also workout a lot," said senior Kaitlyn Gulick.
Instead of cutting out certain foods, other people have become reliant on calorie counts. "I have been tracking my calories recently and been trying to work out as much as possible," said senior Payton Faber.
Some girls have found that trying to eat differently or count their calories just doesn't work for them. "I have been doing nothing specific to get fit for spring break. I love food too much to diet and I just play sports with friends for exercise," said senior Lexie O'Dette.

An incident at the U.S. Air Force Academy Preparatory School in Colorado Springs, Colorado, made headlines in September, when five black cadet candidates discovered racist messages written on the white boards outside their dorm rooms.
But now it seems that the perpetrator wasn't a racist student targeting the academy's black attendees — but was instead one of the targeted black victims themselves.
The Air Force Academy confirmed Tuesday that one of the five targeted students was behind the hateful attack, the Colorado Springs Gazette reported. The cadet candidate is no longer enrolled at the school.
Sources cited by the Gazette allege that the student wrote the messages in a "bizarre bid" to get out of trouble for other misconduct at the school, though the academy won't confirm the specific circumstances behind the incident.
No matter what the circumstances, though, by falsely committing the hate crime, the unnamed student may have done more harm than good. False incidents make up only a "tiny fraction" of overall reported hate crimes, Brian Levin, director of the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University, told Talking Points Memo, yet these hoaxes — and the significant attention they often generate — can have detrimental effects.
In a culture where the White House and its allies regularly decry unfavorable journalism as being "fake news," social justice hoaxes are a key way in which critics can challenge the validity of hate crimes overall and take them less seriously.
When asked about the bombing of a mosque in Bloomington, Minnesota, and President Donald Trump's failure to address it, for instance, former White House adviser Sebastian Gorka dismissed the event as possibly being a "fake hate crime," showing how these hoaxes can lead to real events being ignored.
For the general public, these hoaxes can also work by limiting the burden of discrimination in people's minds, Toni Bisconti, a psychology professor at the University of Akron who studies hate crimes, told Talking Points Memo.
Those on the right have already latched onto news of the fabricated incident at the Air Force Academy to bolster their argument about the widespread nature of hoax hate crimes.
"Too bad Air Force Academy Prep official who hysterically lectured all cadets against 'racism' after this #HoaxCrime didn't refrain from judgment until AFTER investigation was complete," conservative commentator Michelle Malkin tweeted.
Despite the negative effects of the hoax, though, the school — which has faced other recent "woes" in addition to the faked messages, the Gazette reported — and Silveria are standing by their initial response.


Is that the real wooderson?
I just listened to white hot takes entire discog.
Who was the big name coming through last night that we were warned to not be gay about?
This is what i have to watch live on the weekends now that dmarcus liveshow stopped.
She asked if I was in a hurry and I said for once I was. I explained the situation, and that we designated Cinema Taco as a "Safe Space" (a place where those victimized by hate crimes could take refuge) and I was deeply concerned for his well being.
i bet if you ask where she want to eat she says shes "anti pro going to longhorn steakhouse"
She had all kinds of queers harassing her for months caus she criticized teen vogue and "male chokers"

Collier County School Board to vote on medical marijuana policy
4:54 PM EST, Mon November 11, 2019
COLLIER COUNTY, Fla. – The Collier County School Board will have the final say on a medical marijuana policy for schools on Tuesday.
The Collier County Public Schools District (CCPS) already has a procedure in place when it comes to students who qualify for medical marijuana. The procedure was approved in October of 2018.
State law requires each school district to adopt a policy and procedure when it comes to medical marijuana.
The policy and procedure ensure access by qualified patients and identifies how it will be received, accounted for and stored.
Collier County students who qualify for medical marijuana usage are not allowed to carry the prescription on campus.
If they are taking it, it has to be administered by their caregiver. School nurses, teachers, principals nor staff are allowed to give the patient treatments.
The CCPS procedure also states the medical marijuana cannot be stored on campus. The student's caregiver must bring it and check-in for every treatment. The school must also provide a private location for the student to take their treatment.
These procedures are included in the policy the school board will vote on Tuesday at 8 a.m.

Home Bharat Gaurav Award
Dedicated to India's Unsung Heroes
The Bharat Gaurav Award Foundation instituted the Bharat Gaurav Awards and the Bharat Gaurav Lifetime Achievement Awards in the year 2017 with a view of giving recognition and motivation to the unsung heroes across the country who are working hard for the betterment of the lives of the underprivileged. The awards are conferred by leading lights of the Indian Government every year on a grand stage in New Delhi at a gala awards ceremony. The attempt is to motivate the awardees to redouble their efforts in the service of the country, and also, by example, encourage millions of others to emulate them and do their bit to build a New India of our dreams.
The Foundation confers 30 Bharat Gaurav awards and 10 Bharat Gaurav Lifetime Achievement awards every year. Over the years, our effort has received
tremendous response from not just ordinary Indians, but also from the political leadership and administrative leadership of the country at the highest levels. One can imagine how motivating it would be for a hitherto unrecognized achiever to receive such recognition at the hands of such a high dignitary. We are happy that Union Ministers, Members of Parliament, IAS officers, IPS officers, Governors, Chief Ministers, leading businesspersons, personalities from the media etc. are associated with the Bharat Gaurav Award Foundation and are driving this mission to build a New India.
The selection of awardees every year is done by the eminent Selection Committee put in place by the Bharat Gaurav Award Foundation. No recommendation is accepted. All nominations must be accompanied by a letter from the Superintendent of Police, the District Magistrate and the Member of Parliament of the area where the nominee has implemented the work which is to be considered by the Selection Committee while deciding the award. The Bharat Gaurav Awards are the prestigious civilian honour in the country. Recipients of this award include Union Ministers, Governors, Members of Parliament, IAS officers, IPS officers, Social Workers, Sportsperson, Businesspersons and Film personalities etc. who have made significant contributions to nation building.


While we were working on the brief for this first clinic in Dubai for the brand, the instructions were crystal clear;'The look and feel should speak of nothing less than super luxury and grandeur, when one enters into one of the largest dental brands' clinic in Dubai.' This brief has been evidently achieved with a contemporary, elegant and super stylish reception space and waiting lounge. The operatories with cutting edge technology are designed for great efiiciency, style, luxury and comfort as the brand demands. This 3000 sft dental clinic has been our first foray into the international arena and there is more to come.

I quickly devour one and yeah, there's not a whole lot to say. It's a small Klondike bar. I'm not sure I personally have a need for these because it seems like it's a thinner shell to go with a thinner filling and I don't see a ton of fun in that. It seems like you are giving up the flavor choice of the regular version for a bit of portion control. Granted, only eating half a Klondike bar isn't the easiest thing to do, but it is possible thanks to their symmetry and the fact their wrapping is reusable. Great, I just used symmetry in a review.
My only other comment is a bit of odd aftertaste. I did quick check the ingredient list to verify there was no sugar replacement going on (because it kind of tastes that way). Since it's not that, I suspect it's just the recipe for the chocolate coating. It is basically the same as a regular klondike but tastes a little different (or maybe the shell is even less amusing than I remember).
Geez, I am being really hard on these today. I don't mean to be. I want to like Klondike but they just don't amuse me anymore. Oh well. Don't forget that there is also a Reese's version.
On Second Scoop: It's a mini Klondike. It's tastes familiar yet less satisfying. I re-read the old 100 cal review while prepping this post and realized that it's basically the same thing, just with a few more calories. I don't know how or why it has more, but it does. I guess I should just be happy they added Reese's to the lineup, but it does seem like Klondike just doesn't care anymore.
The regular ones are already smaller then they use to be. Soon they will be non-existent.

Q: fixed menu on a certain part of the page how can i make a menu position to the top of my page while scrolling. well i can do that on my header. but not on a certain part of the page .let's say my other menu is position on a 980px height of the page . if i try to use position:fixed it will just hide the menu. even if i use z-index. here's the visual:
+________________________+
|         HEADER MENU      <--- Fixed menu - stays at top even when scrolling.
+¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬+
|     CONTENT BEGINS     |
|          HERE          |
|                        |
|       OTHER MENU       | <---- This must stay on the top when i hit this menu
|                        |         and stay while scrolling
|                        |

A: Here is a codepen with an example of position: sticky and a basic jquery example. Remember there are some support issues but you're mostly okay at this point. But it is something to look into if you decide to use sticky.
https://codepen.io/anon/pen/WZGxrm?editors=1111 (remove comment syntax to show one option or the other)
#otherMenu {
  position: sticky;
  top: 50px;
}

Adds 50 to account for the height of the header:
var menu_position = $("#otherMenu").offset().top;

$(window).on('scroll', function() {
    if (($(document).scrollTop() + 50) >= menu_position){
$("#otherMenu").css({"position":"fixed", "top":"50px"});
    } else {   $("#otherMenu").css({"position":"static", "top":"auto"});
    }
});

A: be sure that there's no overflow:hidden on the header container


Tie Dye is such a fun concept for kids of all ages. We have been experimenting with different techniques and ways to blend colors without actually dying anything. After-all my kids are only 6 and 3 and are not quite ready for real tie dying!
This method is so easy because you probably already have everything you need on hand to create this fun project with your little ones.
Place a coffee filter on a sheet of copy paper.
Have the kids color all over coffee filters with markers.
Spray the coffee filter with water after it has been colored.
Place another sheet of copy paper on top of the wet coffee filter.
Smooth it with your hand to transfer the marker to the copy paper.
Peel the sheets apart, and viola!
You get 3 lovely works of art in the end!
We have a few cute youtube videos on this technique, if you watch them be sure to give them a thumbs up and hit the subscribe button! You can also find me giving an intro to tie dye on facebook live.

Pink Gallery Exhibits Eric Bonar 2019-01-22T10:41:42-06:00
The Pink Gallery is named for former Heritage Association President Erwin G. Pink. Dr. Pink and his wife Elisabeth answered the call of a small rural community that had no doctor when they moved to Frisco in the mid-1950s. Dr.Pink set up his general medical practice here, and as Frisco's only doctor, he treated a variety of ailments, performed minor surgery, and served as the physician for the Frisco Fighting Coons football team. In addition to his medical practice, Dr. Pink served his community in other significant ways including economic development and education. When Dr. Pink retired he became active in the Heritage Association serving as its President for several years. During his tenure, the organization grew in financial stability and reputation as one of the most dynamic in the community. The Heritage Center and Museum that is here today was the vision of Dr. Pink. He led the charge to place development of this unique park in a bond package that was passed by Frisco citizens in 2003. A true leader, Dr. Pink will always be remembered as a champion of historic preservation in Frisco, the city with the heart of a town.
Today, the Heritage Association has the honor of utilizing the Pink Gallery space to exhibit local artifacts and tell unique stories of our past. Visit the Pink Gallery on the first floor of the Heritage Museum during regular museum hours. Museum admission is required.
"The Lost Towns Exhibit"
Opening February 17, 2019 at the Frisco Heritage Museum
Frisco's birth in 1902 signaled the beginning of the end for six once-thriving small towns. Each had churches, homes, schools, businesses and a post office. Eventually, these towns and other smaller communities disappeared, but they live on in street names, historic markers and in the memories of old-timers. Their land has been absorbed into the footprint that is Frisco today. A companion book/souvenir is available in the Museum Gift Shop or online.
Museum hours: Wednesday – Saturday, 10-5 p.m; Sunday 1-5 p.m; closed Monday and Tuesday
The Lost Towns of Frisco, Texas
A history of six small communities established in the mid-to-late 1800s that declined as Frisco began to grow.

I've been having a love-in with raspberries this summer. Well, berries of all kinds really - but especially raspberries. Raspberries are Mother Hand's favourite berries and in the past I have given them a bit of a wide berth, thinking they were too seedy. They're not. I was thinking of the jam, I think.
I decided I would have a go at some white chocolate and raspberry cookies. I don't have a regular cookies recipe that I thought would be robust enough for a large amount of filling, so I Googled and found this recipe, which I duly adapted to my needs.
Cream the butter and sugar until pale, then beat in the milk and vanilla. Stir in the chocolate chunks. Add the flour and work until you have a smooth dough. Take a small handful and flatten in your palm; place three-ish raspberries in the middle and then smoosh shut. You end up with something that looks a bit like this.
That's a greased baking sheet you're putting them on, in case you didn't realise. Bake at 180 degrees for about 15 minutes until browned at the edges but still quite soft in the middle. Leave to cool for a while on the tray before transferring to a wire rack.
I added an extra touch to mine by drizzling with Lindt strawberry white chocolate which I came across in Sainsbury's. I think I can safely say that, while this worked, I really need more practice on the drizzling. I'd like to blame it on the texture of the chocolate but we both know I'd be fooling myself.
This made eight large cookies. They are very soft in the middle due to the raspberries. Still warm from the oven they are pretty crisp but then soften up after a few hours' exposure. They are also tooth-achingly sweet. I think, in future, I would not add the chocolate chunks to the mixture but instead stick with a drizzle at the end. I might reduce the amount of sugar, as well, to make up for the sweetened milk. It already has more sugar than I would normally put into, say, shortbread, which is plenty sweet.
It's a very good cookie recipe, though. There will definitely be a next time.

Miami-Dade Public Housing
Miami, FL United States
Artwork Budget: 50000
Xavier Cortada
Miami-Dade Housing Authority
The artist designed these flowers to create a warm welcome to all the residents of a new Miami-Dade Public Housing Authority public housing building in the Allapattah neighborhood. The building was constructed on 2013, during the 500th anniversary of Juan Ponce de Leon's arrival on Florida (which he named for "flor," the Spanish word for flower). The artist thought to mark this quincentennial by creating 500 flowers, one for each year of the anniversary to greet low income residents to their new home.
Like the residents of this building who immigrated here to Florida, Juan Ponce de Leon was a Hispanic immigrant, in fact the first. These 500 flowers were exhibited at the Biscayne Nature Preserve in 2013 to commemorate Ponce de Leon's landing on that island 500 years ago. Later, they were exhibited at the Oldest House Museum in Key West, before being permanently installed here to honor Florida's quincentennial. The project marks the importance of the moment when the history of our state changed forever and gives us a glimpse of what its landscape was like 500 years ago.
I have extensive experience working collaboratively with project team members. This is one of eight projects recently commissioned for the Miami-Dade Housing Authority. I collaborated with Related Urban, the developer, and the sites' architects, engineers, and contractors to create integrated works.
Cortada's flower installation will be transformed into 500 living gardens across the community: Each flower sculpture comes with a packet of Florida wildflower seeds. Those purchasing the sculptures are asked to take both the sculpture and seeds home and plant a garden dedicated to one of 500 Floridians who helped shape Florida history during the past 500 years (or to a Floridian who is special in their lives). More on www.flor500.com. Proceeds from sales benefit the Biscayne Nature Center and FIU College of Architecture The Arts student scholarships. This project was completed in April 2014.

Het Celloconcert in e mineur, opus 58 is een compositie van de Russische componist Sergej Prokofjev.

Het werk bestaat uit drie delen:

 Andante - Poco meno mosso (andante assai) - Adagio
 Allegro giusto
 Thema (allegro) + Interludio 1-Variaties, 1-3-Interludio, 2- Variation, 4-Reminiscenza (meno mosso) - Coda(poco sostenuto) - Più mosso

Geschiedenis
Prokofjev begon met het schrijven van zijn celloconcert in het jaar 1934. In 1938 was Prokofjev klaar met het componeren van het celloconcert. Het celloconcert ging in première op 26 november 1938 in Moskou. Solist was Lucian Berezovski begeleidt door het Russisch Staatssymfonieorkest. De meesterpianist Sviatoslav Richter was dirigent. Richter had problemen met het celloconcert, hij "begreep" het niet. De première werd een mislukking. Prokofjev liet het werk voor wat het was. Gelukkig werd de mislukking overschaduwd door het grootse succes van zijn filmmuziek bij Sergej Eisensteins werk Aleksander Nevski (zie ook Aleksander Nevski (Prokofjev)).

Later zou Prokofjev met behulp van Mstislav Rostropovitsj het werk herschrijven tot het Sinfonia Concertante.

Het concert
Hoewel er een aantal cd's is met opnames van het concert, wordt tegenwoordig eigenlijk alleen het Sinfonia Concertante opgevoerd.

ADVANCED REVIEW: 'King in Black: Spider-Man,' Issue #1
03/15/2021 04/30/2021 - by Charles Hartford
King in Black: Spider-Man #1 is published by Marvel Comics, written by Jed MacKay, art by Alberto Albuquerque, colors by Rachelle Rosenberg, and letters by Joe Caramagna. Peter Parker has been doing the hero thing for a long time. He's seen Civil Wars, an Infinity Crusade, a Secret Invasion, and even a Clone Saga. You'd think by now, Peter could process anything. But even for the toughest and most experienced heroes, it can all just become too much. And even they can use a little inspiration now and then.
It's always surprising how much guilt someone can carry for situations that are not their fault. Take Spider-Man for example. As King in Black: Spider-Man #1 opens, we find Peter having a bit of a panic attack. It seems Peter has decided everything to do with the King in Black coming to Earth is his fault. Because you know, he stuck his head in what he thought was a costume creator on an alien world, and instead, it popped out the symbiote for him to wear.
The fact that Peter didn't realize he was bringing a hostile organism back to earth, the myriad of problems it would spawn, or the fact that its presence would draw the eye of a Dark God doesn't seem to earn him any slack. It should. You can't blame a guy for failing to act on information he had no way of knowing. And yet, just like poor Peter, I know I've beaten myself up more than once over failing to predict the unpredictable. It just seems to be what we do sometimes. Luckily for Peter, the Marvel Universe is full of inspiring heroes who may fly by at any moment and provide the inspiration to get up and try again. Individuals like The Reptile! What? Did you think I was gonna say, Thor?
After a brief moment of mistaken identity, King in Black: Spider-Man #1 sees Spidey and Reptile team up to do what they can for the citizens of New York City. They're facing evil space-faring gods maybe a smidge out of their power levels, but that doesn't mean they can't still make a difference. Even if it just means getting one little old lady back to Staten Island.
This message of doing what you can no matter how small it may feel is a wonderful one. I know over the last year so many of us have felt virtually powerless to do anything against the myriad of problems that have come alarmingly close to feeling like a 12-month comic book crossover. Here writer MacKay does a wonderful job of reminding readers that, no matter how small, doing good is always a worthwhile thing.
The art in King in Black: Spider-Man #1 does a good job of bringing the hopefulness of its story to life, even against the dark and crushing backdrop of Knull's invasion. The art goes from the moments of levity to action and optimism with skill. The strong art is further enhanced by Rosenberg's adept colorwork.
Rounding out the presentation is Caramagna's letters. The lettering here does a solid job of guiding the reader through the story in a clear and easy-to-follow manner.
When all is said and done King in Black: Spider-Man #1 delivers a nice optimistic message about not only doing what you can but not beating yourself up for not being able to do more.
King in Black: Spider-Man #1 is available on March 17th wherever comics are sold.
