A note to dads: If you want to get famous on TikTok, just start listening to Taylor Swift.
At least, that's probably what Brooke Levine would say. The TikToker's dad is apparently obsessed with Swift's latest album — and now, the internet is obsessed with him, too.
Levine first shared a clip of her dad on July 30, less than a week after Swift dropped her latest album "Folklore." The surprise record has received widespread praise from critics and fans — including Levine's father.
"My dads obsession with Folklore is precious," Levine captioned her first video.

In the clip, her dad is seen jamming to the album throughout their family's house. He even apparently fell asleep while listening on the couch.
"Oh, my God," Levine says as she zooms in on her sleeping dad.
TikTok users immediately praised Levine's father, calling him "amazing" and the best "Swiftie" (the word many Swift obsessives use to describe themselves).
"Omg I absolutely love this. He has TASTE," one TikToker wrote.
"STOP I LOVE THIS," another added.
"OK but I want to listen to Folklore and have tea with him," another begged.
"PROTECT HIM AT ALL COSTS. Can we go together with him to a show?" yet another wrote.
It's unclear how much Levine's dad knows about his viral fame. Honestly, he seems like he's too busy listening to "Folklore" to care.
Levine posted another clip a few days later, in which her father gives an in-depth analysis of the record during a phone call. Later, he adorably eats a bagel while enjoying "Cardigan," which is the second song on the album.
"Bagels. Lox. And Folklore," Levin's dad states simply.
Levine told TikTok users her dad's favorite song on the album is "Invisible String," a track about Swift's exes and how they set her on a course to met her current boyfriend: actor Joe Alwyn.
As Levine shows in another video, her dad is not the biggest fan of the song "Exile," which features Bon Iver.
"I prefer the ones that are all Taylor," he explains in the clip.

The backstory: Idiot had been annoying myself and a few other people on a forum I frequent, and had apparently obtained my YIM username. Hilarity ensues.
[01:48] Idiot: hey whats up
[01:48] Me: who are you?
[01:48] Me: WHO ARE YOU!?
[01:49] Idiot: [[edited out because it'd be too... cruel]] from [[TCODF]]
[01:49] Idiot: do u got a minute
[01:49] Me: I have plenty of minutes; the question is, do I wish to spend them talking to ye?
[01:50] Idiot: are you mad at me
[01:50] Me: no. I despise poor grammar, however.
[01:50] Idiot: ok but can i talk to ya
[01:50] Idiot: please
[01:51] Me: I suppose. if you please type in... less awfulness
[01:53] Me: so.... what brings you to my not-particularly-humble screenname?
[01:53] Idiot: Why doesn't my post count ever change even if I keep posting?
[01:54] Idiot: Dose skitty sound like a not humble screen name to you?
[01:55] Me: Your post count does not always change because many forums have post count off.
[01:56] Me: And I don't require any discussion on my username; it is what it is and what it is is what it is.
[01:56] Idiot: you seem upset whats wrong
[01:57] Me: the sky is a distressing shade of blue today, you know.
[01:58] Idiot: so the sky is makeing you upset

[02:00] Idiot: but really whats wrong
[02:00] Me: I already said, the sky is a distressing shade of blue.
[02:01] Me: Also, I believe that the Ghost of the English Language has petitioned me to form a committee for the disposal of chat speak.
[02:01] Idiot: so your mood depends on the weather
[02:01] Me: ...when did I say anything about that?
[02:01] Idiot: meh it seems the sky is depressing you
[02:02] Me: ...no.
[02:02] Me: Your mother is depressing me, as she had apparently decided to have a child who is incapable of spelling many simple words including "making".
[02:02] Me: However, I doubt that she had much choice, so I can't blame her too much.
[02:03] Idiot: hmm if i only had a mom i wound know what that ment
[02:03] Me: What a wound! What does said wound know what that 'ment'? Was it cement?

[02:08] Me: I never would have noticed.
[02:09] Idiot: it seems like your being so hateful just becouse of me typing fast and not making the correct grammer
[02:09] Idiot: grammar
[02:10] Me: I did not know that you can make the correct grammar, how is this done?
[02:10] Idiot: why are you acting tis way
[02:10] Idiot: this
[02:11] Me: Why am I acting what way?
[02:11] Idiot: your being rude
[02:11] Me: I did not know that I had a 'being rude'.
[02:11] Me: Did I somehow kidnap Rude and hold him hostage
[02:11] Me: ?
[02:12] Idiot: im talking youin a nice respectful way why are you not doing the same
[02:12] Me: I am talking in a nice respectful way.
[02:15] Idiot: ...........
[02:15] Me: Mind you, I am talking in the manner of a cat who has decided to taunt their prey before pouncing for the kill, but I am still talking in a nice respectful way.
[02:16] Idiot: and why are you taunting me
[02:16] Me: I am taunting you because I am capable of doing so and that you have annoyed me, like a flea on the cat's behind.
[02:17] Idiot: ho9w have i annoyed you
[02:17] Idiot: how
[02:18] Me: Why do you not list ways that you could have perchance annoyed me rather than request another moment of my valuble time to list them myself?
[02:18] Me: *valuable
[02:20] Idiot: Well i just came on to ask you a question about the fourms, so you said you could spare some time, I donot know how I annoy you.
[02:20] Me: I have a request to make, on the behalf of the late English Language.
[02:21] Idiot: what is that
[02:23] Me: would you please stop raping its cold dead body?
[02:23] Idiot: ummm
[02:24] Idiot: will you stick to the subject your 14 and your worried about pointless grammar mistakes
[02:24] Me: My fourteen? My fourteen what?
[02:25] Idiot: your age is 14 right
[02:25] Me: My age is not important.
[02:26] Idiot: ahh i get it now your tapping on my intent not to be specific on what i am talking about

[02:29] Idiot: andwhy is that
[02:29] Me: I am enjoying this conversation because I am enjoying it.
[02:29] Me: My reason is not important.
[02:30] Idiot: but whatout reason how is there action
[02:30] Idiot: wiithout]
[02:30] Me: There is reason, but the reason is not important
[02:30] Idiot: whos to say reason is not important
[02:31] Me: I never said reason is not important.
[02:31] Me: Your speech, for example, appears to be without rhyme nor reason.
[02:31] Idiot: who says i was trying to rhyme
[02:33] Me: ...
[02:34] Idiot: how long do you plan on doing this
[02:34] Me: Plan on doing what?
[02:35] Me: Fiddling with words and context to accomplish what some may refer to as a 'zing'?
[02:35] Idiot: yes
[02:35] Me: Why, I could do this all day.
[02:35] Idiot: why are you not giving me a straight answer
[02:36] Me: If I gave a straight answer, then would I be fiddling with words and context?
[02:36] Me: I do not play the fiddle, by the way.
[02:37] Idiot: but you have been fiddling with words
[02:37] Me: Perhaps.
[02:38] Idiot: so stop doing this game
[02:38] Me: What game?
[02:38] Me: Life is a game.
[02:38] Idiot: there u go
[02:38] Me: My game is this: heads I win, tails you lose.
[02:38] Idiot: my cousin dose the same thing to me all the time
[02:39] Idiot: its great to irratatepeople and tict them off
[02:39] Me: Your cousin gives a dose of medicine of the same thing to you all of the time?
[02:40] Idiot: no my cousin dose what you are doing WITH fiddling with words and context
[02:40] Me: So he gives a dose of medication by fiddling with words and context?
[02:41] Idiot: no nothing to do with medication just grammar
[02:41] Me: Oh! So he gives you a dose of grammar!
[02:41] Me: That makes everything as clear as obsidian!
[02:43] Idiot: Medication is not grammar or a liquid to be drank from.
[02:43] Me: Then perhaps you should look up the meaning of 'dose'.
[02:44] Me: Not, however, 'dos', the Spanish word for two.
[02:44] Idiot: no wait medication can be drank
[02:44] Me: Or the mightiest of beasts, that which comes in the night and wields a crossbow.
[02:45] Idiot: what kind of beast
[02:45] Me: A beastly beast, of course.
[02:48] Idiot: There's a beat capable of handling a task such as holding a crossbow. Such intelligence is unknown in the animal kingdom except frt the monkey witch has a possible thumb and can you sticks and rocks as tools.
[02:49] Me: I never knew monkeys had witches.

[02:49] Idiot: oh no
[02:50] Idiot: There's a beat capable of handling a task such as holding a crossbow. Such intelligence is unknown in the animal kingdom except for the monkey witch has a pose able thumb and can you sticks and rocks as tools.
[02:51] Me: What sort of beat is it?

[02:51] Idiot: beast
[02:51] Me: There is a quite well known beast capable of wielding a crossbow.

[02:52] Me: The species 'homo sapiens'. Have you heard of it?
[02:53] Idiot: They have been extinct for years destroyed their own planet I heard

The Latest: March in Pasadena in protest of police death
PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — The Latest on the death of a black man after a struggle with police in Pasadena, California (all times local):
9 p.m.
About 100 people are marching through the streets of Pasadena, California, to protest the death of a black man who died there after a struggle with police.
They began marching at the apartment building where Reginald Thomas was killed Friday morning and are slowly making their way through the city's crowded Old Town district on their way to the police department.
The protesters have been very peaceful.
Authorities haven't released Thomas's name, but friends identified him.
Los Angeles County sheriff's officials say he was armed with a knife when struggled with police officers, who used a Taser on him.
After he was handcuffed, police noticed Thomas, who was the father of eight children, wasn't breathing. Both officers and paramedics tried to revive him, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
12:30 p.m.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Capt. Steve Katz tells the Pasadena Star-News (http://bit.ly/2dBThfG) a struggle between Pasadena officers and a black man that resulted in his death started after officers were called to an apartment early Friday because of a disturbance report.
Katz says the officers used a Taser and then physical force to subdue the man. Katz says that when the man was handcuffed he went into distress and the officers attempted CPR but he died at the scene.
Authorities were first called by someone reporting a disturbance at 2 a.m.
Katz says another disturbance call minutes later reported the man had a knife and a fire extinguisher and may be under the influence of drugs.
Katz says three people were in the residence when officers arrived and the struggle ensued as they tried to take the man into custody.
He denied a witness report that officers used batons on the man.
11 a.m.
Los Angeles County homicide detectives are investigating the death of a black man in Pasadena, and a witness says it occurred after a struggle with police.
A sheriff's statement says the death of the unidentified man occurred about 2 a.m. Friday but gives no details.
Shainie Lindsay tells KTLA-TV the man was the father of her children, bi-polar and had called police for help.
She says he had a knife and fire extinguisher, and did not respond to officers' orders to put them down because "he was out of it."
She says police used a stun gun on him twice. He dropped the extinguisher but a struggle followed with officers using batons and kicks to subdue him.
Officers tried to resuscitate him but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

There are two ways to interpret the mostly glowing reviews the media is giving Trump for his speech in North Carolina Thursday night. Both are correct.
The first, intimated here by Greg Sargent, is that the media is setting a low bar for Trump. Just as nature abhors a vacuum, political media abhors a boring story about a stale, predictable race. This made a comeback narrative necessary, and inflated reviews of bad performances inevitable.
But viewed from another angle, it's a manifestation of the phenomenon I described in my article today, which is about how Donald Trump is actually a very bad politician, but bad in a way that creates the illusion of political talent if you're too close to the campaign.
In truth, if Trump actually did make the kind of overnight transformation his supporters have been promising, it would be fairly horrifying. Jeckyll and Hyde is a great premise for a mystery thriller, but a very bad trait in a president.
By any usual-though-subjective standard of political theater criticism, though, Trump's Great August Pivot speech was unremarkable. Better written than most of his prepared speeches, but still not very good. He mostly said a bunch of things he's said before, while adding in a few tossed off lines about how, regrettably, he's lashed out in anger over and over again this year due to the stresses of political life. Buckles under pressure. Great sales pitch!
In any case, the good reviews followed in part because of an undying belief in the political media that the connection Trump has made to superfan voters must have some correlation in the nuts and bolts of campaigning. If only he could stop traducing women, minorities and the Constitution, he'd be an unstoppable political force.
But Trump is just Trump. Pretty good at being a demagogue, very bad at doing politics. It is no coincidence that the day after the Great August Pivot, one of his two—two—campaign chairs (the corrupt one, not the white nationalist one) resigned amid a torrent of news stories about how he helped oligarchs plunder poor Ukrainians, in contravention of of U.S. interests, and probably federal law as well. Only a bad politician would find himself in a crazy situation like that. And that's all Trump is.

"Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants." –Michael Pollan
It's a simple statement but putting it into action can be challenging. The plant-based diet is getting more attention these days as films like "Forks Over Knives" and "Food Inc" bring the diet, or I prefer to say, "lifestyle" to mainstream audiences.
Why is plant-based eating taking root in people's lives?
Films and media coverage of well-known actors and even a former President (Bill Clinton) who are going completely vegan or eating a mostly plant-based diet may be influencing Americans to finally be more aware of the need to change their Standard American Diet or SAD food they're eating.
The main benefits of going plant-based are the ability to lower your blood pressure, averting or slowing cancer, weight loss, anti-aging, and having more energy.
But some argue you can't be strong on a plant-based diet. Do you remember Popeye and the green fuel that made his muscles pop?
The creators of Popeye may have chosen spinach as the super food because of a mistake made by German chemist, Erich von Wolf. In the 1800s, he discovered that spinach is a good source of iron— 3-5 milligrams per 100-gram serving— but inadvertently recorded it as 35 milligrams which would be like eating a paperclip. This error wasn't uncovered until 1937, seventy years later, according to Samuel Arbesman, who noted the error and the connection between spinach and Popeye in his book The Half-Life of Facts.
However, English criminologist Mike Sutton argues the "decimal point theory", saying spinach was actually chosen by Popeye creators because of its Vitamin A content.
Either way, U.S. consumption of spinach then increased by a third.
Fast-forward to the 21st century, and Popeye types are still promoting green diets.
One of the strongest men alive is Patrick Baboumian who is known for his strength and plant-based diet. He became a vegetarian in 2005. In 2009 he went vegan. In 2013, he lifted more than 1,200 pounds on his shoulders and carried it for 10 meters. That's like giving a large horse a piggyback ride.
If you're considering a plant-based diet, start with the addition vs. subtraction method. Start by adding more whole vegetables, fruits, and nuts and gradually replacing dairy, meat, and processed foods.
Phoebe Chongchua lives in Carmel Valley. She's an author, writer, certified yoga teacher, and plant-based specialist. She helps people live well and follow a plant-based diet. Visit ThePlantBaseDiet.com to download a free 7-day meal plan.

(The Name Means Hurricane)
The name Huracan means hurricane and, like all Lamborghinis, is the name of a famous Italian fighting bull. The 2014 Huracan model is designed to replace the Gallardo, which was the company's best selling model ever. The Gallardo was produced and sold from 2003 until 2013 with just over fourteen thousand units being manufactured over the model's lifespan.
Compare that to the twenty-nine hundred or so Diablos that Lamborghini managed to move with their second best selling car and you begin to realize the heroic shoes that the Huracan is expected to fill. However, there are a few things going for the Huracan and you can bet that the Volkswagen-owned Lamborghini organization has poised the Huracan to leverage all of them.
The Huracan is likely to be the company's most successful seller ever due to the car's power and mechanics, price and performance, and looks.
Power And Mechanics
Revealed at the 2014 Geneva Auto Show, the Lamborghini Huracan is a mid-engined, all wheel drive, 5.2 Liter, V10 that cranks out a maximum of 602 horsepower and 413 ft-lbs of torque.
That amazing power is delivered to the road by a 7-speed automatic transmission and a dual clutch gearbox. There is no full manual transmission option, which may annoy purists, but I am sure that no one could out-drive the automatic tuning that the Huracan comes with.
The driver can, although, choose "manual mode" and shift with paddles on the left and right of the steering wheel. The new V10 also features a combination of direct and multi-port fuel injection systems that provides the best results of both.
The driver can also choose between Strada, Sport, and Corsa driving modes. Strada means street, Corsa is the race mode with the stiffest suspension and most drastic power-curve, and Sport is in the middle.
The vehicle adds a defeatable (you can turn it on or off) stop-start system that shuts the engine off when you stop, then restarts it when you go (for driving in stop-and-go traffic situations such as multiple lights). The idea is to save gas, but just imagining it makes me crazy. BMW has it on some of their cars and anyone I know who has driven one says it is annoying.
The company claims that because of an already warmed up engine and what-not that the stop-start function is barely noticeable and should not play havoc with the Italian V10 Lamborghini power plant by stopping it and starting it a zillion times. The way I look at it is this: if I can afford the $241,945 base price, I can likely afford to let another 1/40th of a gallon of gas to burn at the light.
Which brings us to price.

Price And Performance
The Lamborghini Huracan base price is $241,945. Consider that the Huracan closely rivals the $404,195 base priced Aventador in acceleration and top speed and you begin to see how a car priced at nearly a quarter million bucks can be considered a value from some perspectives.
In fact, Car And Driver claims zero to sixty at 2.5 seconds, and a 10.4 second 135mph quarter mile. That is ridiculously fast and, in fact, beats the fabled speed of the Porsche 911 Turbo S (albeit at just shy of twice the cost). Topping out at 220 mph makes the Huracan one of the fastest cars on the road. In fact, anything faster is seriously splitting hairs.
The car will also brake from 70 mph to a stop in 144 feet.

The Huracan has a wheelbase of 103.15 inches, an overall length of 175.55 inches, and a height of 45.9 inches. The car is 88.03 inches wide (including the mirrors) and weighs in at 3,135 pounds without gas, people, or your backpack. To put it in perspective, that is roughly fifteen inches shorter, sixteen inches wider, and twelve inches lower than a Honda Accord.
That short, wide, low stance and the trademark arching curve from front bumper to rear exhaust give the Huracan an aggressive look. However, the air intakes are much more subtle with the smaller gills tucked in ahead of the rear wheels. Compared, to the gaping aspirators featured on the larger V12 Aventador, the air intakes on the Huracan look almost forgotten.
The front end is also more integrated than the more angular, segmented V12 big brother and the car's doors open out parallel to the ground like a normal car door. Gasp!
Overall the Huracan looks a bit smoothed out and calmed down from a purely visual perspective. Yes, it still looks like a Lamborghini, and it still flashes an exotic's wicked grin, but the entire package just looks a bit tamed in my opinion.
Don't get me wrong; I still wouldn't kick the Huracan out of bed, so to speak. But half the people in the world that want a Lamborghini want one, at least partially, for the cool scissor doors that open upward. Being that this is Lambo's so called entry-level car, those plain-jane doors may be the only miss on the entire vehicle. I bet the guys down at the local custom import shop are already working up blank invoices and ordering parts to install scissor doors on forty percent of the Huracans scheduled for delivery in 2015.
There are nineteen colors available and yes, you can get it in that cool green color that everyone loved from the Gallardo (almost). The new green is called Verde Mantis Pearl as opposed to the older Verde Ithaca Pearl and to me it looks just a tiny shade darker, but time will tell once we see a few in real life.
There are five matt colors available, and for my money the Grigio Titans Matt, which is a sort of flat smoky grey color, is one of the most beautiful finishes I have ever seen on any car.

Clocking in at just under $242K with no options, the V10 Lamborghini Huracan is ready to deliver and satisfy more new Lambo owners than any car in the company's history. The Huracan performs as well or better than it's V12 Aventador big brother and costs about a hundred-seventy grand less which positions the car at a value (albeit a value for a really expensive machine).
It only comes with an automatic, but you can select "manual" mode so you can shift with the paddles behind the wheel like an Indy car, and the driver can select three driving modes from street, to sport, to out-and-out racetrack. It also has a stop-start function designed to shut the car down at a red light to save some gas, then start it again when you push the gas peddle, but luckily you can turn that off.
Overall the car is gorgeous, powerful, and extremely fast. It may look a bit more rounded off and chilled out than the Aventador, but it still looks like a beast of an Italian exotic. Just make your appointment to convert the doors to articulate up like you have wanted on your Lamborghini since you were fourteen years old, and all will be right in the world.

Financial planning and bookkeeping
Bookkeeping is an important task for any kind of business, whether big or small. It is also called record keeping, because it refers to the process of recording all financial transactions and events that occur in the company. Why do we do this, and why is bookkeeping so important?

Redpipe is a Web Framework that unites the power and versatility of Eclipse Vert.x, the conciseness of JAX-RS (with Resteasy), and the non-blocking reactive composition of RxJava.
The main idea is that with Redpipe you write your endpoints in JAX-RS, using RxJava composition if you want, and underneath it all, Vert.x is running the show and you can always access it if you need it.
Redpipe is opinionated, favors convention over configuration, and lets you combine the following technologies easily to write reactive web applications:
- Eclipse Vert.x and Netty, for all the low-level plumbing,
- JAX-RS (Resteasy), for all your web endpoints,
- RxJava 1 and 2 for your reactive code,
- Vert.x Web for all existing filters, templating support,
- Swagger to describe your web endpoints,
- CDI (Weld) for JAX-RS discovery and injection (optional),
- Bean Validation (Hibernate Validator) to validate your web endpoints' input (optional),
- Coroutines (Quasar) to write synchronous-looking reactive code (optional).
Reactive / Asynchronous super quick introduction
Redpipe is a reactive asynchronous web framework. This mostly means that you should not make blocking calls when Redpipe calls your methods, because that would block the Vert.x event loop and would prevent you from the performance benefits of asynchronous reactive programming.
Typically, instead of making a blocking call, asynchronous APIs will let you register a callback to invoke when the action is done. But callbacks are error-prone and do not compose well. The Promise model was introduced to abstract over callbacks and asynchronous computations, where a Promise represents a producer of a value that you can listen for, and be notified when the value is produced (we call that resolving a Promise).
RxJava is an implementation of the Promise model with support for single-value Promises
Single) and
multiple-value Promise streams (
The idea of Redpipe is that you can either return normal values from your methods (if your code does not need to block), or RxJava promises (if it does), which Redpipe will register on, and be notified when the promises resolve and forward the resolved values to the client.
Source code / license / issue tracker
Redpipe is open-source software licensed under the Apache License 2.0.
You can file issues at our GitHub issues tracker, or better yet: send us pull requests.
Include the following dependency in your
Quick Examples
Create a
Main class to start your server:
Creating a resource
Create a resource:
Start your
Main program and if you head over to http://localhost:9000 you should see
Hello World.
Creating a reactive resource
If you want to return a reactive resource, you can simply return a reactive type from your resource, such as those provided by RxJava.
For a reactive Hello World, simply add this method to your resource:
Restart your
Main program and if you head over to http://localhost:9000/reactive
you should see
Hello Reactive World.
If you want to return a stream, you have three options for how to serialise them (see below).
To send Hello World as a stream, simply add this method to your resource:
Restart your
Main program and if you head over to http://localhost:9000/stream
you should see
RxJava support
Out of the box, we support RxJava's
Completable and
Maybe types for both RxJava 1 and 2,
although use of RxJava 2 is recommended because RxJava 1 is deprecated.
If your resource returns a
Single<T>, the
T will be sent to your client asynchronously as if you
returned it directly. In particular, standard and custom
apply as soon as the
Single is resolved, as do
If your resource returns an
- By default, every item will be collected, and once complete, assembled in a
List<T>and treated as if your method had returned it directly (standard and custom body writers and interceptors apply to it).
- If you annotate your method with
org.jboss.resteasy.annotations), then every item will be sent to the client as soon as it is produced (again, via standard and custom body writers). This is mostly useful for streaming bytes, buffers, or strings, which can be split up and buffered.
- If you annotate your method with
@Produces(MediaType.SERVER_SENT_EVENTS), then every item will be sent to the client over Server-Sent Events (SSE). As always, standard and custom body writers are called to serialise your entities to events.
If your resource returns a
Completable, an HTTP Response with status code 204 will be returned once the completable
is resolved.
If your resource returns a
Maybe<T>, then the following response will be sent asynchronously once the maybe is
- If the maybe is empty: an empty HTTP response using HTTP status code
404indicating the resource has not been found
- If the maybe has been fulfilled with an object of type
T: an HTTP response with status code
200, using the proper
RxJava 2 support
You need to import the following module in order to use RxJava 2:
And your reactive resource should look like that:
The optional module
redpipe-fibers allows you to write your reactive code in fibers, which are
light-weight threads, also known as coroutines, while interacting seamlessly with RxJava.
Consider the following traditional RxJava code to forward the result of two web service invocations:
Rather than composing sequential
Single values, you can write a fiber that can
await those values in what now looks like sequential code:
A fiber, here, is also a
Single which can be integrated with the rest of your RxJava
operations, and it can
await RxJava
Single values to obtain their resolved value.
You can call
await from any fiber body, or from any method annotated with
You need to import the following module in order to use fibers:
And also the following Maven build plug-in to set-up your fibers at compile-time:
See Quasar's documentation for more information on fibers.
In order to get URIs that map to resource methods, you can use the redpipe routing module:
With this module, you can simply get a
URI for a resource method
HelloResource.hello by calling
Router.getURI() method and passing it a reference to your resource method and any required
Within templates you can use the
context.route method which takes a string literal pointing to your
resource method, and any required parameters:
Resource scanning
You can either declare your JAX-RS resources and providers when instantiating the
Server (as shown
above), or you can use two options to scan your packages to discover them.
If you include this dependency, fast-classpath-scanner will be used to scan your classpath for resources and providers:
You just need to set the
scan configuration to an array of package names to scan.
Alternately, you can delegate scanning of resources and providers to CDI:
All your jars containing a
META-INF/beans.xml file will be scanned by CDI and your resources and providers
will become CDI beans, with CDI injection supported.
Note that this uses Weld and the weld-vertx extension which brings a lot of goodies for CDI and Vert.x.
Also note that we depend on CDI 2.0, which in turn depends on the latest version of Hibernate Validator,
which is not supported by all transitive dependencies. This means you may have to override some dependencies to resolve
conflicts between CDI 1 and 2, Hibernate Validator 5 and 6 (which changed
groupId in version 6) and
javax.validation, so sprinkle the following Maven exclusions if you see more than one version loaded,
or too old a version (use
mvn dependency:tree -Dverbose for help):
Unless you call
Server.start() with a
JsonObject configuration to override it,
conf/config.json file will be loaded and used for configuration.
In addition to the standard Vertx options and email options, these are the configuration options available:
|Configure Redpipe using defaults for DEV or PROD use.
|Jdbc Url to use for connections to the database.
|Jdbc driver class.
|Maximum pool size for database connections.
|Http port to bind to.
|Http host to bind to.
|0.0.0.0 (all interfaces)
|List of packages to scan for JAX-RS resources and providers.
You can access the current configuration in your application via the
AppGlobals.getConfig() method.
On top of optional CDI support, JAX-RS supports injection of certain resources via the
@Context annotation
on method parameters and members. Besides the regular JAX-RS resources, the following resources can be
|The Vert.x instance (Also available as RxJava 1 & core).
|A global context object.
|The Vert.x Web
RoutingContext (Also available as RxJava 1 & core).
|The Vert.x request (Also available as RxJava 1 & core).
|The Vert.x response (Also available as RxJava 1 & core).
|The Vert.x
AuthProvider instance, if any (defaults to
null) (Also available as RxJava 1 & core).
|The Vert.x
User, if any (defaults to
null) (Also available as RxJava 1 & core).
|The Vert.x Web
Session instance, if any (defaults to
null) (Also available as RxJava 1 & core).
SQLConnection (Also available as RxJava 1 & core).
|@HasPermission("permission") boolean
|True if there is a current user and he has that permission.
We support the following plugable template engines, which you just have to add a dependency on:
In order to declare templates, simply place them in the
src/main/resources/templates folder. For
example, here's our
src/main/resources/templates/Controller/index.html.ftl template:
In order to return a rendered template, just return them from your resource, directly or as a
Template files and negociation
Templates are located by convention in the
templates folder and looked up from your classpath. If you
do not specify any template name to the
Template constructor, the template will default to
<Class name>/<method name>
by using the current JAX-RS resource class and method names.
You can override the template file by passing it in the constructor, to specify, for example,
When looking up a template file, Redpipe will look for any file that begins with the template name, followed by a
. (dot)
with an extension. There should be at least one extension, which will be the template format extension (for example,
.ftl for
freemarker). If there is another extension before the template extension, it will be used as the file format extension (for example
.txt for plain text).
If there are more than one file format extension, one will be selected based on the
HTTP content type negociation, such as the
Accept request header.
The file format extension defines the MIME type returned to the client in the
Content-Type response header. If there
is no file format extension,
application/octet-stream is used.
For example, if you have two files
foo.html.ftl and
foo.txt.ftl and specify a template name
foo, Redpipe will
select either of the two files depending on the client's preferred representation.
|Specified template name
|Looked-up template files
<Class name>/<method name>.<file format>.<template format>
foo.<file format>.<template format>
foo.txt.<template format>
Writing your own template renderer
You can write your own template renderer by declaring a
META-INF/services/net.redpipe.engine.template.TemplateRenderer file in your
src/main/resources folder, containing the name of the class that extends the
net.redpipe.engine.template.TemplateRenderer interface.
For example, this is the FreeMarker renderer, which simply wraps the Vert.x Web support for freemarker:
You can send emails with the
This will use regular template look-up rules and look for
templates/mail.txt.<template extension> and
templates/mail.html.<template extension>, and send the email asynchronously. Beware that unless you
subscribe to the
Email.send() return value (type
Completable), there is no guarantee that your email
will be sent before the response is sent.
Note that only the two file format variants
.txt and
.html will be looked-up.
Testing email delivery
DEV mode, emails will be delivered to a mock mailer of type
MockMailer which you can obtain from
AppGlobals, in order to test email delivery:
Email configuration
PROD mode, you can configure the following settings:
|Configuration key
|Default value
|The SMTP host name.
|The SMTP port.
|The SMTP username.
|The SMTP password.
|Whether to keep the SMTP connection open.
|Whether to trust every SMTP connection.
|Whether to start a TLS connection (supports DISABLED, OPTIONAL, REQUIRED).
Serving static files
If you want to serve static files you can place them in
src/main/resources/webroot and declare the
following resource:
Your files will then be accessible from the
/webroot/ path prefix.
index.html at
/ by default
Usually web servers do this by default.
Your home page will then be accessible from the root path (eg: http://localhost:9000).
Service discovery
You can declare and inject service records using the following optional module:
Use the
@ServiceName annotation to declare a service:
The same annotation can be used to look up services:
By default, if running on Kubernetes, Kubernetes services will be imported and available.
Note that services declared using
@ServiceName will not be exported to Kubernetes, but
you can declare them in your build using Fabric8.
You can write plugins by declaring a
META-INF/services/net.redpipe.engine.spi.Plugin file in your
src/main/resources folder, containing the name of the class that extends the
net.redpipe.engine.spi.Plugin class.
From there you can hook into various parts of the application (start-up, requests…).
By default, your application includes Swagger OpenAPI Specification (OAS) generation, located at /swagger.json and /swagger.yaml.
Check out the following examples for best-practices and real-world usage:
- Hello World (Reactive, Fibers, Templates)
- Wiki (Reactive, DB, Fibers, Auth, Templates, REST, JWT, SocksJS, Angular)
- With Keycloak and Jooq
- With Apache Shiro and Jdbc
- Kafka (SSE)
You can get a
Single<SQLConnection> with
SQLUtil.getConnection(). Alternately, you can call
SQLUtil.doInConnection as such:
It is also possible to get a
SQLConnection injected:
Custom data-base set-up
You can either set-up your database using the config options
db_driver, and
or you can override the
createDb method in
Server, as in the
By default, no authentication is set up, so if you want to set up authentication you can override
Server.setupAuthenticationRoutes method, as in the following two examples.
If you do set up authentication, your
AuthProvider will be injectable in your resources, as will the
User and
You can use the following annotations on your resource methods/classes to enable resource-level authorization checks:
@RequiresPermissions({ "perm1", "perm2"}): requires that the current user exists and has both permissions,
@RequiresUser: requires that the current user exists,
@NoAuthFilter: disables authorization checks,
@NoAuthRedirect: return an HTTP FORBIDDEN (403) instead of a redirect to the login page, if authorization fails.
You can also inject permissions as a
boolean with the
@Context @HasPermission("permission-name") annotations.
Install Keycloak, start and configure it.
Add the following dependency:
For the Keycloak example, we need this set-up:
Apache Shiro
Add the following dependency:
For the Apache Shiro example, we need this set-up:
Now you can write your handler for the log-in form:
Note that the log-in and log-out handlers are set-up in the
BaseSecurityResource class,
but you can override them if you need to.
Add the following dependency:
For the JWT example, we need this set-up:
Then you can set create a resource that will serve your token (in a resource with no authorization checks):
Redpipe projects are very easy to deploy to OpenShift V3, using the Source-to-Image builders and fat jars.
You can see a sample Hello World application for yourself,
but the main idea is to set up
your main class so that it runs on the
8080 port:
And then configure your
pom.xml so that it creates a fat-jar with the proper merging of
META-INF/services files, and pointing to your
Main class:
Then, just follow the official guidelines by
pushing your code to GitHub and starting an image with it. You can even try our sample app at
https://github.com/FroMage/redpipe-openshift-helloworld.git (no context dir).
Alternately, you can use Fabric8 to build and deploy your module by adding this to your
Declaring services with Fabric8
You can declare Kubernetes services, labels and annotations with this configuration:
Run your WebApp with Maven
This is a
pom.xml sample to easily run your project. Just run

Colonialism and The Two Publics in Africa: A Theoretical Statement
This article is about existence of two different public realms in African societies contrary to western societies. The author discusses the colonial and African bourgeois ideologies that justify colonization and creates two public realms: primordial public realm and civic public realm.
These two public realms have different type of moral linkages to private realm.
a) Primordial public realm: primordial groupings, ties, and sentiments influence and determine the individual's public behavior. it is moral and operates on the same moral imperatives as the private realm.
b) Civic public realm: this is historically associated with the colonial administration and has become identified with popular politics in post-colonial Africa. it is based on civil structures: the military, the civil service, police, etc. Its main characteristic is that it has no moral linkages with the private realm. civic public realm in Africa is amoral and lacks the generalized moral imperatives operative in the private realm and in the primordial public.
The same political actors operate in the same public realms at the same time.
His following paragraph summarizes the main theme of the article:
"Most educated Africans are citizens of two publics in the same society. On the one hand, they belong to a civic public from which they gain materially but to which they give only grudgingly. On the other hand they belong to a primordial public from which they derive little or no material benefits but to which they are expected to give generously and do give materially. Their relationship to the primordial public is moral, while that to the civic public is amoral. "
Our post-colonial present has been fashioned by our colonial past. It is that colonial past that has defined for us the spheres of morality that have come to dominate our politics. The destructive results of African politics in the post-colonial era owe something to the amorality of the civic public.
Modern African politics are in large measure a product of the colonial experience.
The author argues that two critical bourgeois groups influence colonial Africa and continue to influence post-colonial African politics: a) group of colonial administrators, mostly drawn from the rising bourgeois class in Europe, and b) African bourgeois class born out of the colonial experience itself.
Author contends that the emergence and the structures of the two publics owe their origin first and foremost to these two groups, especially to their ideological formulations intended to legitimate their rule of the ordinary African.
Since the discussion of the concept of ideology constitutes an essential part, the author begins with an operationalized definition of the term. By ideology, he refers to unconscious distortions or perversions of truth by intellectuals in advancing points of view that favor or benefit the interests of particular groups for which the intellectuals act as spokesmen.
Ideological distortions and abuse of truth usually indicate a degree of insecurity on the part of the group promoting such ideologies.
History is to a large extent the selective emphasis of events from a national point of view.
In the article he talks about two different ideologies and discusses each with its different ways. a) Colonial ideology of legitimation b) African bourgeois ideology of legitimating
1) Backwardness of the African past: according to colonizers, the African should forget about their pasts because the only important thing is the present. Missionaries told Africans that ancestor-worship is bad and shameful.
2) Lack of contributions by Africans to the building of Africa: colonial administration downplayed African contributions and exaggerated westerners. it would be a rare American teacher who says that England built or founded the U.S. colonial history is the demonstration of the massive importance of the European 'intervention' in Africa an of the 'fact' that African contributions to the building of Africa have relevance only when seen in the context of a wider and more significant contribution of the European colonizers. Africans read in school books that Africa and especially its important landmarks and waterways were 'discovered' by European explorers. Mungo Park, an adventurer, becomes a 'discoverer' in colonial history taught in British colonized nations. Certainly colonial history as taught in African schools and universities had a primary purpose: to legitimate the European colonial rule of Africa. It is ironic that British colonized Africans don't know French discoverers and French colonized Africans don't know British ones. The author argues that this because of the fact that each colonial nation created its own version of the history.
3) Inter-tribal feuds: by carefully emphasizing 'inter-tribal' disharmonies in pre-colonial Africa, European colonial administrators had two things to gain at once. First, creation of disharmony between groups especially in the declining days of colonization helped divide and conquer policy. Second, it gave the colonial administrations the image of benevolent/humanist intervener.
4) Benefits of European colonial rule: it is always the benefits of the colonization that is emphasized. Its disadvantages outweigh the advantages. Author draws our attention to the fact that only non-western nations that have successfully developed are china and Japan and they were not colonized.
5) Administrative costs of colonization to Europeans: Europeans want to give the impression that colonization had cost on ordinary European citizens by taxation etc. they want to show that benefits colonized nation gained from colonizer more than colonizer gained from African nations.
6) Native vs. westernized: colonial administrations had a strategy of separating 'native' from western institutions and define the 'native' in terms of what is low. But western educated Africans in fact did not escape the native sector. Indeed their difficulty is to adapt two different mentally contraposing orders.
Then the author discusses the methods of African bourgeois ideologies of legitimation. He argues that these methods were formed to achieve two interrelated goals. First, these were weapons to be used by African bourgeois class for replacing colonial rulers. Second, they were used to legitimate their hold on their own power. Anti-colonial ideologies were used during colonialism but post-colonial ideologies of legitimation were used while alien colonial rulers were leaving the country.
1) African high standards: African bourgeois, western educated Africans try to show that they are as good as their former colonizers. they try to prove that they are equals but never the betters, of their former rulers. African bourgeois is very uncomfortable with the idea of being different from his former colonizers in matters regarding education, administration, or technology. one suspects that he is unconsciously afraid that he may not be qualified to be an effective replacer of the former colonizers.
2) Independence strategies: the fight for independence was a struggle for power between the two bourgeois classes involved in the colonization of Africa. It was not about issue of difference of ideas regarding moral principles but rather the issue of which bourgeois class should rule Africans. African bourgeois had no basis of legitimacy independent of colonialism.
3) Promise of independence: another method/strategy was to raise the hopes and expectations of the ordinary citizen. First promised increased benefits and second to lower the colonial burden.
1) In the waning days of colonialism in many African nations two sorts of divisions were created or at least encouraged by the colonizers: a) to undermine the African bourgeois class by reviving tradition as the basis of legitimacy, i.e by restoring the defeated chiefs and kings to power. b) Creation of divisions within the bourgeois class along primordial ethnic lines.
2) Education as guarantee of success: education was made important by western educated African bourgeois to legitimate its rule. in order to challenge the illiterate chiefs, low degrees guaranteed success.
3) Ethnic domain-partition ideology: ideologies and myths do have reality-creating function. Bourgeois created ethnic groups in their nations. the author argues that ethnic identity of being Ibo or Yoruba is not very old.

There are few things in this world finer than a brand new Ferrari, but it's easy to say that a completely tailor made Ferrari California T qualifies as one of those things.
Created especially for the Shanghai Auto Show to display the marque's dynamic design abilities, a completely bespoke California T in Grigio Ingrid was unveiled both in a press release and at the media day today. Two of history's most iconic personalities acted as the inspiration for the design – Ingrid Bergman and Jacqueline Kennedy.
The paint name pays tribute to Miss Bergman, and is the exact shade of grey which she used on the Ferrari 375 MM she was given by filmmaker Roberto Rossellini in 1954. But the true beauty of this modern model is the touch of understated beauty given to it by the sleek and subtle color. The interior features rich, warm tones that contrast starkly against the cool metallic exterior.
(See Also: Ferrari FXX K Epic Track Sounds Around Fiorano Circuit)
The interior luxury draws its inspiration from theKennedee chair design by Jean Marie Massaud, and feature a velvety "count prestige" leather reminiscent of Jackie Kennedy's redecoration of the White House in 1961. The floor mats are even more notably plush, featuring 100 percent pure virgin wool from New Zealand.
Take a closer look at this bespoke creation in the images below, and find your own perfect Ferrari from our exclusive listings.

Bold Dizygotics on view at the Customs House Museum
CLARKSVILLE, TN –"Twins" is the theme in the Customs House Museum's Crouch Gallery this September. Specifically, those created by Ohio artist Leslie Shiels. Twins can either be monozygotic, "identical", meaning that they develop from one zygote that splits and forms two embryos, or dizygotic, "fraternal", because they develop from two separate eggs. Shiels' animals appear more as portraits within patterns of positive and negative. The bright color schemes seem to frame and emphasize Shiels' mirror-image subjects. Along with her signature hounds, the exhibition includes rabbits, turtles, and birds.
Leslie has been painting for most of her life. She earned a BFA from the University in 1974. Leslie's work has been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the United States and can be found in numerous corporate and private collections. She first exhibited at the Customs House in their Biennial National Juried Exhibition of 2012. Shiels' paintings have been featured in many publications, including The Artist magazine and her painting titled Kennel Bound can be seen on the set of ABC's hit series NASHVILLE.
Also on view in September is a collaborative show by Susan Bryant and Billy Renkl. The husband and wife team from Clarksville will showcase new works in their exhibit Even When. The artists will give a gallery tour on September 17th as part of the museum's monthly Art & Lunch programming. This event is open to the public. Billy, whose work has been exhibited throughout the South, currently teaches drawing and illustration at Austin Peay State University.in Clarksville, Tennessee. Susan is a Professor of Art at Austin Peay where she has taught photography for the past 30 years. Her personal work includes gelatin silver prints, hand-colored silver prints, digital photographs, and most recently, the 19th century processes of daguerreotypes, and tintypes. She is the recipient of a Tennessee Arts Commission Fellowship. Both Susan and Billy are both represented by The Cumberland Gallery in Nashville, Tennessee.
Located at the corner of Second and Commerce Streets, the Customs House Museum is the second largest general museum in Tennessee. For more information on above events contact Terri Jordan, Exhibits Curator, at 931-648-5780 or email@example.com.

New Forest Adventure Race
Course Conditions
Information about the course area and trail conditions for the 2019 New Forest Adventure Race
Special Notes
Watch out, slow down and give way to other people and animals including walkers, horse riders, and the animals that roam freely in the New Forest such as ponies, cows, pigs and deer.
Parts of the course are remote and exposed to the elements. The forecast looks settled this week but don't bank on it being fair on Saturday just yet. It's worth keeping an eye on the weather - it can change very quickly and at this time of year it is not uncommon to have three or four seasons all in the same day. Make sure you are fully prepared for whatever the weather on the day!
The storms at the beginning of this month brought down a number of large trees. These in turn have blocked some of the drainage channels resulting in the build up of large / deep pools of mud and water in one or two places. We have adjusted the course and moved a couple of the checkpoints to avoid the worst of these areas. The routes affected have been marked on the course map so you can plan accordingly and seek a different route - unless of course you enjoy pushing your bike through knee deep mud and water!
Under no circumstances are you allowed to cross / walk along / damage any fences. If the route ahead is wet and/or muddy, and you can't get around it without crossing a fence / field boundary, then you have two options: i) proceed carefully through it - only if safe to do so, or ii) turn around and head back the way you came.
Trail Run
Navigational events are not permitted on access land in the New Forest at this time of year due to the new habitat regulation assessments and the protection of ground nesting birds. As a result the Trail Run is largely on public rights of way - public footpaths and bridleways, with a few sections on tarmac (pavements / minor roads) to link them together.
The terrain is flat to undulating with one or two short sharp ascents / descents. Some areas don't drain well, as the land is relatively flat and low lying, so expect to encounter a few boggy patches along the way. However such sections tend to be shortlived with the majority of the off road trails being hard packed ground, stones and gravel.
The footpaths vary from grassy and easy going to muddy and slippery, with everything in between. Trail shoes with a decent tread are recommended if you have them. Expect to get wet feet - if not from the boggy patches then definitely when fording the streams.
Please shut all gates, make sure they are properly fastened behind you and follow signs where present.
Take care crossing wooden stiles and footbridges. Many are slippery, especially when damp and some are unstable / rotten so tread carefully!
Mountain Biking
The mountain biking this year is similar to two years ago and therefore quite different from the pre-2017 New Forest adventure races when the off road cycling was mainly on fast, well graded gravel tracks (designated cyclepaths) in the forest.
This year the off road cycling is all on byways and public bridleways. Some are good gravel tracks that vehicles drive along whilst others are muddy, rutted and cut up.
The bridleways that follow tracks (double black dashed line on the map) tend to have a firm base (sometimes underneath a bit of mud) and therefore provide better going on the whole compared to those bridleways that don't follow tracks which are often soft in places. Not only is soft ground slow going and energy sapping, it is also often uneven and cut up where horses have sunk deep into the ground making progress doubly difficult.
Remember the most direct route is not always the quickest route - in some places it may be faster to go the long way round on roads!
The checkpoints have been positioned to avoid the worst of the bridleways (i.e. those which are unrideable for much of their length) but there are one or two short muddy sections in places where you might need to get off and walk. When passing the worst stretches you must remain on the permitted route at all times - do not cross fences or boundaries. If you can't get past without staying on the trail, and you don't want to get wet / muddy, turn around and find another route or visit a different checkpoint.
Bikes are not allowed on footpaths - not under any circumstance - it's the law in England! Make sure you know the difference between footpaths and bridleways. Look out for waymarkers and fingerposts to keep you on the right track and make sure you follow any other signs.
Take care whilst cycling on roads. Even minor roads can be busy with fast moving vehicles as they are used as short cuts by locals. Always cycle single file (apart from being considerate to others, it's more efficient!) and keep in to the left hand side so that vehicles can pass when it's safe for them to do so.
The kayaking takes place on this lake. Depending on the level of the water, you may need to walk into the water a bit before getting onto your kayak if it is shallow. However please be careful not to walk into the water too far as it does suddenly drop off and get deeper. See photos from a previous race.
There is a small amount of parking near the lake for spectators. Parking is not allowed anywhere on the approach track to the lake. Vehicles should continue to the end of the track (past the kayak transition) and park on the hard standing before you reach the main watersports building on the lake shore. Please ask any spectators accompanying you to keep vehicle movements to a minimum so as not to get in the way of other participants, potentially putting their safety at risk.

Founded in 1984 by a small group of carriage collectors and driving enthusiasts, the Minnesota Whips and Wheels Carriage and Driving Society has grown quickly. Driving is gaining popularity throughout the world as a sporting and recreation activity which includes the whole family.
The society provides a wide range of activities for its diverse membership. We provide information regarding a time of historical significance in America - the horse drawn era. We encourage the collection and preservation of vehicles from that era and we urge the restoration, active use, and display of these carriages.
We also promote safe driving, as well as, care and training of the animals which pull these carriages. Our members drive ponies, horses, donkeys and mules hitched singly, in pairs, in tandem, random, unicorn and four-in-hand. Quite a few of our members do not even drive or own either a horse or carriage. They are simply interested in driving and enjoy being with us. We welcome and encourage anyone with an interest in driving to join us!

Benedito ends vote of no confidence against Barcelona board
Agusti Benedito has brought to an end his vote of no confidence against the Barcelona board and president Josep Maria Bartomeu.
The former presidential candidate had been given until 23.30 local time on Wednesday by the club to gather the necessary signatures to make his challenge official.
He had accused Bartomeu of being "out of control", citing the loss of Neymar to Paris Saint-Germain and the failure to finalise new contracts for Lionel Messi and Andres Iniesta as evidence that new leadership was needed.
Benedito is believed to have required the support of 16,750 members but had acquired only 12,504 signatures by the time the deadline passed.
He has therefore confirmed the end of the campaign, with the ballot papers subsequently destroyed by a notary.
There is nothing to thank. It is me who must thank the 12.504 socis (and much more still signing) their support to the vot de censura. https://t.co/lVpqWerImp— Agustí Benedito (@agustibenedito) September 28, 2017
"[Barca vice-president] Jordi Cardoner gave Wednesday as the deadline," he told a news conference.
"We said we would continue to collect signatures until October 2 but it seems to me that collecting more signatures, knowing they would not be valid, [would be futile]. We have to close the vote of no confidence for consistency's sake, which we will do.
Benedito said the final count would be close to 14,000 signatures when postal votes were taken into account.
However, he intends to lodge a separate complaint against the board after accusing them of contravening the rights of members by not allowing them to keep to the initial deadline of October 2.
"If they had not violated the will of the 'socios', we would have had the third vote of no confidence in the club's history," he said.
He added he would not open a new vote in the near future but suggested others could take up the cause.
"No, we're not planning another vote of no confidence because it's a big effort, financially, too. Although it would not surprise me if someone else did because the reasons remain," he said.

Disclaimer: I am currently not accepting book requests at this time.
If an author or publisher would like me to review their book, you can contact me via email, WordPress, or Tumblr. I typically check all three sources of social media on a daily basis.
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
I tend to read from a wide selection of books and genres. I particularly enjoy young adult and new adult fiction. This does not mean, however, I will not read from other age demographics. Genres I am particularly interested in are (in order of preference):
- Coming of Age
- Realistic Fiction
- Supernatural/Paranormal
- Fantasy
- Romance (to an extent)
- Dystopia
- Science Fiction
- Classics
There are not many books that I won't read. Nevertheless, I tend to become rather bored now of middle age and teen literature (generally speaking). Some genres I prefer not to read include:
- Non-fiction
- Psychological thrillers
- Erotic
- Tragedy (unless accompanied with an uplifting second genre)
If you don't know, simply ask; I don't bite and I enjoy discussing books either way so it will not annoy or bother me if you have an inquiry. There are always exceptions for both genres I do enjoy and those I dislike. For instance, I have a hard time with horror; however, I love many of Edgar Allan Poe's works. Additionally, I love fantasy and dystopia. Nevertheless, I did not enjoy the second and final book in the Divergent series by Veronica Roth (cue the gasps now).
I will review physical copies, e-books and audiobooks for review; however, I do prefer to review physical copies. The only books I will not review are self-published.
The outline of my reviews will include the following information:
- Cover Art Image
- Basic Information – title, series title, author, publisher, publication date, format, pages, link to Book Depository/Chapters Indigo/Goodreads

Insta-Forum: What Are The Pros and Cons to an All-Digital Future?
The last generation of video games saw the widespread proliferation of downloadable games. Although the retail market is still going strong, it may be just a matter of time before video games go all-digital.
I'm getting ready to write an editorial that breaks down the pros and cons of an all-digital future and we thought it would be a good idea to have our audience sound off with your opinions on the subject.
What are some of the pros and cons to an all-digital future for video games? I want you guys to list as many pros and cons as you can think of. Feel free to debate if you want since that's always fun.
Have at it, kids!

"This is still mostly a spending bill, not a stimulus bill. Even worse, it borrows an unprecedented amount of money – $1.2 trillion – spent mostly on projects that don't create jobs in the near term. We need a stimulus bill, but one that fixes housing first, lets taxpayers keep more of their own money, and spends borrowed money only on programs that create jobs quickly."

World Bank directors will be urged by Honduran peasant leaders and civil society groups to withdraw support for a major palm oil company accused of links to killings, kidnapping and the forced eviction of small farmers.
The bank's European directors, meeting in Brussels on Wednesday, will be handed a report by Human Rights Watch, published last month, that suggests the Honduran government and police have failed to investigate 29 murders and kidnappings in the Bajo Aguán region since 2009. Human Rights Watch said evidence suggested the involvement of private security guards working for palm oil companies in 13 of the killings and one case of abduction.
The region of northern Honduras has been the setting for long-running, violent land disputes for nearly 10 years, with large tracts of farmland contested between campesino groups and agro-industrial businesses growing palm oil. A total of 92 people have been killed since 2009. The majority of the victims have been campesinos, but security guards employed by private firms have also been killed.
The alleged involvement of guards working for Dinant – a company that makes palm oil and has received $15m (£9.03m) to develop its plantations from the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the World Bank's private lending arm, with the promise of a further $15m – prompted an investigation last year by the bank's internal watchdog, the Office of the Compliance Advisor/Ombudsman (CAO).
"The CAO found breaches of IFC's policies in relation to its investment in Dinant," said a spokeswoman for the watchdog. "IFC released an action plan in response to CAO's findings which was later revised after an outcry by local and international civil society groups and an intervention by the World Bank Board, who found IFC's action plan to be inadequate."
Dinant has consistently denied any direct or indirect involvement in death squads or human rights violations and says its guards have had to defend farms against violent illegal occupiers.
Yoni Rivas, a leader of the Unified Peasant movement of Aguàn (Muca) who will be in Brussels, said the security situation in the Aguàn valley was deteriorating, with protest now criminalised and company guards posing as police. "Communities are at very real risk of violence and eviction," he said. "They want to be consulted in any action plan. The communities want to see no further money going to Dinant until the murderers have been brought to justice.
"We are being persecuted and watched. There is a permanent campaign to discredit the leadership of the peasant movement. We urge the IFC to stop the loan to Dinant. The IFC must address affected communities' concerns. There must be a halt to all violence directed at local farmers."

Mental health services conducted on the Internet have been described as e-therapy, online counseling, e -mail therapy, Internet-based therapy, and similar terminology. Online therapy services may be provided as an adjunct to more traditional forms of mental health treatment, or may be initiated without any offline contact between the therapist and client. Currently, there are a variety of websites providing links and information regarding online therapy.
As I was reading about benefits and risks in using internet as a source for mental health services, I realized that there are a lot of factors that make it a controversial issue. There are many pro and con to its benefits. Some Pros are the convenience of a client, Flexibility in scheduling, Anonymous and private, Access to those with physical disabilities; emotionally safe environment on of my biggest issues is making use of the time-delay (email) to work on issues.Appeal to those who are shy, uncomfortable with face-to-face treatment and make them feel more those who are shy more comfortable.

Some disadvantages are Privacy, security and privilege cannot be guaranteed, Lack of patient skills to use the Absence of face-to-face therapy relationship, Lack of behavioral cues may lead to problems in treatment and most importantly is Urgent, crises, or suicidal issues may not receive immediate and appropriate attention. I work in a Community clinic where we offer many treatments one of them is therapy also.As I came across this assignment I ask one of our doctors what they believed. One of the doctors sends in miner cases it could be useful as long as is a well program with credentials and the issues are not really serious. At this time we are transitioning from paper charts to computers so most of the time there sitting in front of the computer typing away while the patient is speaking. It made me realized that in a way internet and mental services are becoming more and more essential for each other.
When I was reading the website for American Psychological Association it provided me the ethics they have to fallow when they provide service public advice or comment via print, Internet or other electronic transmission, they take precautions to ensure that statements (1) are based on their professional knowledge, training or experience in accord with appropriate psychological literature and practice; (2) are otherwise consistent with this Ethics Code; and (3) do not indicate that a professional relationship has been established with the recipient.I believe in conclusion we could benefit from these services as long as we are really aware that they are legit and trustworthy. In my case I believe sometimes I could benefit from therapy but simply have no time. One of the reasons I choose online schooling. Definitely I would use these services and give it a try. There are programs offer here in California that can help you as a guide to search for help. The Board of Behavioral Sciences (BBS) would like to make the following recommendations to California consumers who choose to seek therapy or counseling over the Internet.
Individuals, who provide psychotherapy or counseling, either in person, by telephone, or over the Internet, are required by law to be licensed. Licensing requirements vary by state. Individuals who provide psychotherapy or counseling to persons in California are required to be licensed in California. Such licensure permits the consumer to pursue recourse against the licensee should the consumer believe that the licensee engaged in unprofessional conduct. References 1.

Prices range from $95 for the square detail open editions up to $325 for the really big ones. Limited Editions of gallery exclusives are also available by phone/email/gallery too. If you're not in the area, simply call 407-827-8200 or also email online email@example.com

Looking for a canvas of a painting not shown on the website? It is likely available anyway, just ask them at email@example.com Open edition canvases are great if you missed out on the limited editions. For example "Marie Masquerade" has long sold out as a hand embellished limited edition, but you can always get a signed open edition! Open Editions are not numbered or hand embellished, byt they're the next best thing!
