Q: How do I fix my Spring Boot WebClient request. I receive the message as it is supposd but then I get an 400 Bad Request I am trying to make a WebClient request against musicbrainz but do not understand what I am missing.
I have succeeded with resttemplate but when I try WebClient I succed but also fail.
I am using Spring Boot v2.5.0 and have not problem to start it.
My controller looks as following:
@RestController
public class MashupController {
@Autowired
private MashupService service;

@GetMapping("/{mbid}")
public Artist artistInfo(@PathVariable String mbid){

    Artist artist = new Artist();
    artist.setMbid(mbid);
    //MusicBrainz
    ArtistDetails artistDetailsResponse = MusicBrainzService.getArtistDetails(mbid);

    return artist;

}
This is just the first part and enough just to show the error.
I have an ArtistDetails class as following:
@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
public class ArtistDetails {
    private String id;
    private String name;
    private List<Relation> relations;

    @JsonProperty("release-groups")
    private List<ReleaseGroup> releaseGroups;

... getters / setters
}

I have tried different setup and tried to find any solution but I am lost.
My service class looks as following:
public class MusicBrainzService {

    public static ArtistDetails getArtistDetails(String mbid){

        WebClient wc = WebClient.create("http://musicbrainz.org");

        ArtistDetails artistResponse = wc

                .get()
                .uri("/ws/2/artist/".concat(mbid).concat("?&fmt=json&inc=url-rels+release-groups"))
                .retrieve()

//              .onStatus(HttpStatus::is4xxClientError, response -> {
//                  System.out.println("4xx error");
//                  return Mono.error(new RuntimeException("4xx"));
//                })
//              .onStatus(HttpStatus::is5xxServerError, response -> {
//                  System.out.println("5xx error");
//                  return Mono.error(new RuntimeException("5xx"));
//                })

                .bodyToMono(ArtistDetails.class)
//              .retry()
//              .retryWhen(Retry.fixedDelay(3, Duration.ofMillis(1000)))
                .block();

        return artistResponse;
    }
}

I have also tried with adding a ClientHttpConnector like the following.
private static ClientHttpConnector connector() {
    return new
 ReactorClientHttpConnector(HttpClient.create(ConnectionProvider.newConnection()));
}

As I wrote I still get an json reply as I am supposed but I also get
Response:

The error stack tells me that it is something wrong around ".block()" but I have not found any solution. Is it someone that can help me?

A: The problem was:

*

*You(r GUI-based browser internally) requested http[s]://<yourhost>:<yourport>[/your-app]/favicon.ico

*Your @GetMapping("/{mbid}") (@PathVariable at context root) overrides also (any default spring-web) favicon.ico handling, which results in mbid == "favico.ico" and the reported issue/behavior.

To overcome this, we could:

*

*use a REST-/not a GUI-based browser/curl. (That's quite restrictive!)

*(seems better) omit the conflict of your controller and (any spring default) static resource handling:

*

*by overriding (introducing an extra controller for this) @GetMapping("/favicon.ico") (https://www.baeldung.com/spring-boot-favicon#gracefully-disable-favicon)

*(preferred) Change the request path of your controller to something less ambiguous! :-) (e.g. @GetMapping("/artist/{mbid}/info"))

A fetus is a human, period
Abortion tears at the social fabric of our society like no other issue, and it requires proponents to avert their gaze from the obvious ("Supreme Court takes up Texas law banning most abortions," Web, Nov. 1). For instance, prenatal development is a continuum with no clear, defining feature distinguishing embryo from fetus other than a human-made definitional one.
The idea that an embryo can be dispensed with but a fetus should not be aborted is completely dependent on gestational age, a definition which may not be morally acceptable to others. The umbilical tether is another contentious factor; those who believe in third-trimester abortion use this tether to decree that a baby in the womb is something less than a human being and different from the just-born baby upon whom devolves all laws that apply to the rest of us, even one second after delivery.
We must contend with the issues of rape and incest, but we should no longer accept that a conceptus is other than a human being.

Philippines seeking 50 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines next year
FILE PHOTO: Small bottles labeled with a "Vaccine COVID-19" sticker and a medical syringe are seen in this illustration
MANILA (Reuters) – The Philippines plans to procure an initial 50 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines to ensure at least a quarter of its population gets inoculated next year, a top coronavirus task force official said on Monday.
Carlito Galvez, the former general in charge of implementing the country's strategy to fight the coronavirus, said several embassies had been contacted about potential government-to-government arrangement for purchasing the vaccines.
He did not identify those countries. However, President Rodrigo Duterte has repeatedly said he preferred that his country source its COVID-19 vaccines from either China or Russia.
Authorities were also looking at bilateral and multilateral vaccine deals, including tapping the World Health Organization's global vaccine project, known as COVAX, to bolster the country's prospective arsenal against the pandemic, Galvez told a media briefing.

The government was evaluating 17 vaccines "for safety, efficacy, cost effectiveness", he said.
Duterte has said he has the budget to purchase vaccines but wants more in order to inoculate the entire Philippine population.
The Philippines, with its more than 108 million people and some of the highest numbers of COVID-19 infections in Asia, is considered as both a suitable location for clinical trials and a large market for global vaccine manufacturers.
Galvez said vaccines could start arriving between May and July, with the bulk of supply likely to come by the end of 2021 or early 2022.
He said the Philippines was also negotiating access to at least 3-5 million doses of vaccines from AstraZeneca <AZN.L> , Britain's second-largest drugmaker, as it had pledged to supply vaccines at no profit.

Film club prepping to shoot first short film
Jordan Williams
Appalachian Film Club, the university's first official film club, is preparing to shoot its first short film, "Whimsy."
Recruitment for the club was started in September 2014 by Melanie Lech, junior creative writing and theatre major. The club became official in December of the same year. The club spends time working on different projects and watching and discussing films.
"I've always been interested in film, but we don't have a production major here, so I was like, 'Well, I'll join a club!'" Lech said. "Then there wasn't a club, so I was like, 'Well, I'll start a club!' So I did."
"Whimsy" is an adaptation of a short play written by Appalachian alumna Connor Cook, who wrote the play as an assignment during her senior year. Cook's version of the script was originally a comedy that focused on a conversation between two strangers; however, directors Tyler Sullivan and Barry Jones have rewritten the film to make it more of a psychological thriller. The actors for the film auditioned and screen tested in order to get the perfect fit. The chosen cast are senior theatre arts major Katelyn Sabet, sophomore psychology major Alex Tanner and senior accounting major Zachary Sherbondy.
The process of creating the short film included finding and securing a location for shooting, setting up video and audio and setting dates to shoot started at the beginning of the semester.
AFC is currently organized "committee style," meaningstudents run a committee of their own. Students in the club then choose which committees they want to be on, which include production, screenwriting, legal, advertising, budget and directing.
"Gauging an interest was easy, but actually figuring out the ropes and the legislation and getting the ball rolling took a while," Lech said. "We had a ton of ideas, so honing in on what to focus on first was a big challenge."
AFC adviser and film professor KC Clemons said the way the club members are able to learn from and teach one another is enchanting. Clemons and adjunct film instructor Sarah Davis, the club's "unofficial" adviser, provide advice, guidance and instruction on the filmmaking process, as well as help students build professional connections.
"Watching the students in action – whether the group is analyzing a film or working together on a committee – is fascinating," Clemons said. "These students are motivated, goal-oriented and work through conflicts."
Lech said sociology professor Beth Davidson was the club's first guest speaker recently and spoke of her own experiences in the documentary film business as well as her brand new documentary film, "Denim Dynasty." She also spoke of the different film and documentary festivals in North Carolina and what the club could do to possibly gain more experience.
"Once we're a little more experienced, we'd like to make music videos for local bands and to collaborate with ASU Documentary Services to host a documentary and film festival in 2016," Lech said. "There is definitely something for everyone."
AFC also has events being planned for the near future, including a presentation on April 15 from Boone-based production company Wonderland Woods, as well as a screenwriting workshop April 22 from Glenn Bruce, a professor at Appalachian.
AFC meets every Wednesday at 6:45 p.m. in the Bass Lake room of Plemmons Student Union. The club plans to begin shooting for "Whimsy" in mid-April.

Sweetly theatrical eatery New Punjab Club is designed in the theme of post-colonial, liberated Punjab and pays homage to the birthplace of the long-standing crew of dedicated staff amongst the Black Sheep Restaurants group, who hail predominantly from India and Pakistan. The restaurant is an obvious source of pride for the staff, who knowledgeably narrate the dishes as they are served. The food ranges from popular street-food snacks to traditional recipes from the owner's father's restaurant, cooked in the original tandoori ovens brought over from Lahore.
Dining at Gough's is not just a feast for the taste buds, but an experience for all the senses. Created by famed British designer Timothy Oulton, and situated next door to his interior-design shop, Gough's dazzles with its moonstone bar before enticing guests up the golden spiral staircase to the eccentric black-and-white-marble dining room. We haven't had a chance for a return visit to check out new chef Cary Docherty's style since Chef Arron Rhodes departed to showcase his skills over at impressive new restaurant Statement at Tai Kwun.
The bar that impressed you readers most is one where the service is as razor sharp as the machete-like tool used for harvesting agave for which COA is named. It's simple, moody and chic, with a trendy, industrial design and Oaxaca-inspired cocktails. A special section allows the curious to develop a greater appreciation for meticulously crafted cocktails using agave spirits like tequila, along with lesser-known ones like mezcal and raicilla.
Named for Hemingway's short novel that turned him into a literary giant, The Old Man is also the ideal place to get your creative juices flowing while sipping on reasonably priced (in this city), well-made and edgy cocktails. The peeps behind this award-winning bar are extending the Hemingway theme and launching The Sea this month, opening on Po Yan Street in Sheung Wan.
Traditional Chinese dishes are given a fresh glaze with international ingredients and new techniques at Mott 32. This opulent restaurant originated here in Hong Kong and has now opened in several other top cities, from Vancouver, to Bangkok, to Las Vegas. Now, Maximal Concepts have launched sustainability-focused sister restaurant John Anthony in Causeway Bay, with a house-infused gin-and-tonic bar continuing their pattern of upping the ante with each new popular establishment opened.
This was a back-to-back Foodie Forks achievement for Chef Vicky Lau, who won the Editors' Choice Chef of the Year award in 2017. We remain steadfast fans of Tate, so elegantly demure with its taupe, muted pink and brushed gold colour palette, and the exquisite seasonal tasting menus that Chef Lau puts out, with each dish having its own story to tell.
We first fell in love with Chef Uwe Opocensky's cooking at Mandarin Grill + Bar at Hong Kong's oldest luxury hotel, before he left in a bold move to enter the burger business with Beef & Liberty, winning us over yet again by crafting beautiful yet affordable burgers. He also renewed his love of haute cuisine and opened Uwe, his eponymous fine-dining restaurant. And he became one of only two chefs in Hong Kong to first launch the Impossible Burger onto the menu and has since debuted a green concept, Leaves & Liberty.
For foodies in the know, David Lai is one of Hong Kong's brightest culinary stars. With a string of high-profile openings and closures to his name, our favourite of Chef Lai's lot is Neighborhood, which earned a coveted spot (#32) on Asia's 50 Best Restaurants list last year. We look forward to more great things from Chef Lai as he helps to write the culinary story of Hong Kong.
We wholeheartedly agreed with your choice for your reliable go-to, where you head time and again for an effortless dining experience. The brainchild of the folks at Pirata Group, homemade pasta specialist Pici became a hit soon after its opening on a cosy backstreet in Wanchai, again with a second, bigger shop in Central and now branching out far and wide to TST and Sha Tin. No matter which spot you head to, you can't get enough of Pici's freshly made pasta and chilled vibe. No bookings.
Now, we know this was on the pricier side for this category, but we wanted to pay homage to a restaurant that has remained consistently excellent in our minds. Zuma is an easy choice for a wowing brunch when family come to stay, is elegant yet incredibly welcoming and always delivers on the food front with exceptional Japanese cuisine. They also launched a fun "night brunch" that highlights their constant innovations in the mixology sphere.
Though their coffee is on the pricey side, that doesn't stop folk flocking to the three branches of Cupping Room for some quality java brewed up from beans courtesy of their local roastery in Sheung Wan. Opened in 2011, before the coffee craze was in full swing in Hong Kong, Cupping Room also offers a tempting food menu, with the breakfast dishes especially favoured by readers.
Though it's tucked away in an obscure street in chaotic Wanchai, it's easy to spot Bakehouse. Just look for the queue! Opened by renowned pastry chef Grégoire Michaud, the bakery-cafe offers a bevy of scrumptious goodies ranging from delectable pastries, to naturally leavened sourdough bread, to freshly made sandwiches and steaming cups of coffee. There's a sit-down café section, as well as a takeaway counter for the various baked goods. We drool just thinking about the buttery, flaky croissants and the addictive double-chocolate cookies. Make sure to line up early before they're all sold out, as the bakery only makes a limited quantity of each item every day.
Recently celebrating its seventh birthday, beloved pioneering zero-waste café MANA! proves with its constant queues around the block come lunch hour that sustainability and profitability can go hand in hand. Our readers love this place, and it's a very easy place to love for being an industry leader in terms of eco-friendliness. MANA! has a comprehensive waste-separation and recycling system integrated into its daily operations where all paper, plastic, glass and food scraps/leftovers/waste are separated, hand-rinsed, collected and recycled right here in Hong Kong. Customers also participate in this effort and in the ethos of "diet change, not climate change" as a whole by separating their own post-eating waste into the bins provided.
This forward-thinking initiative and community involvement is what people love about MANA! and completely thwarts the argument that the government is entirely to blame for the lack of recycling facilities here – if the process does not exist, create it and spread the responsibility to all. This primarily vegan establishment generates 1,500kg of food scraps and customer leftovers every month that are laboriously delivered to their organic farm partners five times every week. If that's not inspirational evidence of what can be done, we don't know what is.
Using their walk-in café and event space to bring African teas, coffees and cuisine to Hong Kong with an ethos driven by equality, sustainability and supporting women working within the production process, ACT's mission is to produce premium single-origin products in an ethical and community-edifying manner. They visit the farms that produce their products to establish face-to-face relationships. They then support these farms by providing expert trainers to improve crop yields, maximise the natural systems' efficiency and resist foreign "big agriculture", as well as run leadership-development programmes for young women in Africa. This spirit shines through in everything from the framed images of the farms they work with down to the friendly staff. You'll find dishes such as Ethiopian beef stew (doro) with injera, South African chicken drumettes and stir-fried tofu with Ethiopian Berber spice that you can have to dine in or take away (in recyclable packaging, of course).
It's safe to say by the number of votes that flooded in for this wine bar that you lot picked up what these guys have been putting down. The thing that sets FRANCIS apart – aside from the bold uppercasing – is the community-centric focus that the three stalwarts of the industry have devised. The team behind it include Israeli chef Asher Goldstein and well-known sommelier Simone Sammuri, both previously from SoHo's beloved 121BC, along with the man-with-the-plan, long-standing restaurant manager James Ward. They wanted to bring carefully curated and affordable wines along with Middle Eastern cuisine to a friendly, inclusive environment that also happens to be fun and chic – the kind of place you can go a couple times a week, whether it be for a bite or a drink or a natter, and the kind of place where everybody knows your name and what you like to drink. These three gents have now opened a smokehouse named Mr Brown down the block, where various grilling techniques from Tel Aviv to Australia to the Mediterraneans blend together in one tasty menu.
This Chinese tea salon made a big impact on us with its colourful, eye-catching decor and pink flamingo drink holders. Flamingo Bloom's all-natural floral teas are mixed with fresh fruit, boba pearls, aloe vera and/or a salted milk cap – a decadent topping of milk and cheese whipped together – for the perfect customised cuppa.
We love this secluded Wanchai spot as much as you do and were actually a bit reluctant to share our collective adoration with the masses for fear of not being able to snag a table in the future. This charming, independently owned eatery offers some of the best comfort food around (the pastas and meat dishes are standouts) at wallet-friendly prices, especially the set lunch menu. Three Blind Mice's staff are also extremely warm and welcoming. What more could you ask for?
Happening upon this little masterpiece is like uncovering your new favourite bookstore – it's full of wonder and enchantment and a place you could spend hours. It doesn't hurt that it's set up much like a bookshop, with wall-to-wall shelves housing the widespread spirits; the rare ones contain library cards on which to stamp your name on any you've sampled. Intrigued? This spirit library is the brainchild of Victoria Chow of The Woods, who will walk you through a tasting experience on any and all liquors you want to discover, from gins and rums to tequilas and mezcals – and everything in between. Her evening tasting sessions allow discerning drinkers and exploratory imbibers to try a tempting taste of several across the board to expand their drinking palates and engage with her extensive knowledge of the spirit world (not the supernatural variety, but who knows what any particular evening may hold?).
There is so much goodness packed into Peggy Chan, it's not surprising that it's exhibited in the city's most reputable and groundbreaking vegetarian restaurant, Grassroots Pantry. She sees transforming the view of "raw vegan" as a challenge. Getting meat eaters to enjoy her cuisine – which she does, frequently – works simply because she elevates vegetables to marvellous heights using unprocessed, organic and sustainable ingredients. She doesn't stop with her diners either – her Collective's Table series is an inspirational collaboration where she dares Hong Kong's meat-loving chefs to test their culinary skills without the use of eggs, dairy or meat. She's inspiring other chefs to create more interesting plant-based dishes in their own restaurants and, in turn, enticing guests to order them. It's truly disrupting the culinary norms we've known for decades – and it's important.
Once described by staff as a gentle dictator, Peggy isn't afraid to challenge the status quo and change paradigms for how a standard chef-restaurateur may look, act and behave. She trains her staff to uphold the values she holds dear, but also provides them freedom and empowerment to create for themselves. Peggy Chan is a role model and a game changer within the world of F&B and is a founding member of Hong Kong's Zero Waste Alliance. She has won plenty of our Foodie Forks awards in the past, and we are delighted that you appreciate her as much as we do.
Doing things ethically since the moment they began, Homegrown Foods have always maintained an admirable ethos, alongside consistently amazing, down-to-earth cuisine via their Red Sauce Hospitality arm at Posto Pubblico, Fini's and Franks. Committed to reducing the waste they generate within their restaurants, they are also paragons for the profitable aspect of doing so, explaining that cutting down on inefficiencies helps to make them more lucrative as well as more appetising to diners. They've created an eco-friendly cycle of on-site composting to create fertiliser for their herb gardens and use locally sourced ingredients whenever possible that are naturally bursting with flavour because they haven't travelled great distances.
As founder, Todd Darling maintains face-to-face relationships with farmers and is frequently off on food-exploration trips to uncover truly organic products in far-flung places like Afghanistan to source raisins, almonds and mulberry syrup or to Mongolia for sea buckthorn and yak jerky. A recent venture saw him travelling to Yunnan to hunt truffles and mushrooms and to Kashgar for their special apples. He is a true food adventurer who shares his spoils with his customers and promotes organic farming that is both better for us and the environment.

Why should I pay for the DAM when the entire organization uses it?
Someone asked me about this question and remembered I wrote about this briefly in an earlier blog post, but wanted me to ellaborate. So here is blog post to explain it.
Let us say one group or department is the original requester of a DAM solution within an organization. Likely this same department becomes the business owner, stakeholder and/or sponsor of the DAM solution. This same department or group pays to administer and maintain the DAM. They might pay for any monthly/quarterly/annual licensing fees and/or service level agreements (SLA) for the DAM solution as well. Now let us say other departments see the value in using the DAM to keep the organization's branding, graphics, photographs, publications, presentations, reports, video or other intellectual property (IP). The DAM gets more user adoption by more departments. Now who pays for the DAM within this organization?
Enter the idea of chargeback or simply charging the department who requests to acquire/create/use something with the actual expense in resources used by refunding it. This idea is likely a change for many companies in how they deal with budgets and how departments are accountable for the resources they use. This also keeps a department which may overtax another department's resources in check. So, with this idea every department or group has their own budget as usual, but since every DAM user should have a unique login (right?) and possible different collections of assets they can access or share, why not split the total cost of these expenses based on actual usage of the DAM solution per department? Charge each department based on usage of the DAM solution.
If one department uses the DAM more than another department by a measurable amount or percentage, should they pay a larger share of the cost each month/quarter/year? Should each department be able to share this cost evenly or should each department pay for what they use based on a percentage? Or have one department pay for it all?
Who has the most active DAM users within a given period of time?
Who wants/needs/asks for the most time in administration, maintenance, support and/or training?
I would recommend looking what you are paying for internally and externally to gauge what are the costs of doing business.
Some DAM vendors charge for bandwidth (how many GB is uploaded/downloaded to/from DAM within a given period). Some don't.
Server space costs money regardless of whether it under your own IT department's domain, a vendor's domain or in the cloud. Who is using the storage space?
Is the data deduplicated? Do you want to dedupe the DAM data to minimize duplicate assets?
Some DAM vendors charge per DAM login or per concurrent user. Some DAM systems limit how many users you can have or the total users at one time. Can your organization add/remove DAM users without the vendor's help?
How much does it cost to administer, support, maintain a DAM and train the DAM users? How much does it cost in errors and problems when you don't?
Are these costs of doing business worth sharing as you share business tools such as a DAM solution?

Fans August 26, 2011
True Patriot Love gathers momentum ahead of 2 September opener
Following the launch of the Canadian Soccer Association's True Patriot Love campaign the Association, its partners, and Canada's most passionate fans have committed to creating a strong home support environment for Canada's Men's National Team as it readies to start the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ Qualifiers this Friday 2 September at BMO Field in Toronto.
Showing True Patriot Love
The three week promotional campaign reached its height on Thursday 25 August with the release of a new promotional video encouraging Canadians to become part of the movement. The video features three of Canada's best in Julian De Guzman, Terry Dunfield, and Dwayne de Rosario as well as former Canadian National Team captain and current media commentator Jason De Vos.
A Canadian Soccer Association travelling road show has spent the last three weeks travelling around Southern Ontario, visiting Soccer Clubs, Festivals, Tournaments and camps to generate awareness for the all-important qualifying campaign. Even members of Canada's Women's National Team have gotten in on the act as they participate in WINNERS players appearances across the province.
Canadian supporters have quickly rallied to the cause by creating a Twitter hashtag around which to unite (#cheerforcanada) and applying vigorously to the "Ts for Tickets" contests launched through Canada Soccer's social media platforms Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube (every Tuesday and Thursday a chance to win a pair of tickets to the 2 September match v St. Lucia as well as a few bonus items including signed De Guzman and De Rosario jerseys).
The Canadian Soccer Association, in partnership with the Ontario Soccer Association, has also introduced a group sales initiative aimed at community soccer clubs. In addition to a discounted rate, special incentives were built into the program to encourage clubs to purchase tickets. The club having garnered the top sales will get to play a special role at the 2 September match; keep an eye out for the announcement of the winning club on Monday!
Partners show their support
Del Monte is building on the True Patriot Love theme by launching a contest to reward Canadians displaying true patriotic spirit. Del Monte is encouraging fans to sing the anthem, wave the flag, and creatively show their soccer skills online to win tickets to Canada's FIFA World Cup™ Qualifiers.
Umbro Canada, the official apparel supplier to the National Teams, has unveiled its own rallying cry of "See Thee Rise" and has organized a series of events through this fall's qualification round starting with a 2 September pre-match gathering in Toronto. Supporters are encouraged to gather at Lamport Stadium before marching on BMO Field in unified support for Canada. RSVP to the event on Facebook.
Nutrilite's VIP Soccer Experience contest, which just closed after running for three months, earned a lucky winner an all expenses paid trip for four to Toronto to watch Canada in one of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ Qualifiers.
Where will you be on 2 September?
Great tickets are still available for Canada's home opener against St. Lucia on 2 September! Fans that have not yet purchased their ticket can do so through Ticketmaster.ca or 1.855.985.5000. Advantageous three-match series tickets as well as individual tickets are available, starting as low as $20 for single-match tickets.
As a special bonus all fans with a match ticket for the 2 September match will receive free all-day entry to the CNE, Canada's largest annual fair (a $16 value). In addition, people already attending the CNE on 2 September will have the opportunity to come and cheer Canada on through a special combined offer with the CNE. Simply present your CNE admission ticket at BMO Field's box office (Gate One) and you can purchase an event ticket valued at $25 for only $9! A great opportunity to introduce the whole family to some world-class soccer!
Group sales at a discount of 20% are still available by contacting marketing@soccercan.ca or by calling 613.237.7678.
Don't forget to wear red on match day! Your team needs you, show your colours!

Q: Edit AST by using visitors in Antlr I am new to AntLR and I am struggling to do the following:
What I want to do is after I have parsed a source file (for which I have a valid grammar of course) and I have the AST in memory, to go and change some stuff and then print it back out though the visitor API.
e.g.
int foo() {
    y = x ? 1 : 2;
}

and turn it into:
int foo() {
    if (x) {
       y = 1;
    else {
       y = 2;
    }
}

Up to now I have the appropriate grammar to parse such syntax and I have also made some visitor methods that are getting called when I am on the correct position. What baffles me is that during visiting I can't change the text.
Ideally I would like to have something like this:
public Void visitTernExpr(SimpleCParser.TernExprContext ctx) {
  ctx.setText("something");
  return null;
}

and in my Main I would like to have this AST edited by different visitors that each one of them is specialised in something. Like this:
ANTLRInputStream input = new ANTLRInputStream(new FileInputStream(filename));
SimpleCLexer lexer = new SimpleCLexer(input);
CommonTokenStream tokens = new CommonTokenStream(lexer);
SimpleCParser parser = new SimpleCParser(tokens);
ProgramContext ctx = parser.program();

MyChecker1 mc1 = new MyChecker1();
mc1.visit(ctx);
MyChecker2 mc2 = new MyChecker2();
mc1.visit(ctx);

ctx.printToFile("myfile");

Is there any way of doing those stuff in AntLR or am I on a very wrong direction?

A: You can do this ANTLR by smashing the AST nodes and links.  You'll have create all the replacement subtree nodes and splice them in place.  Then you'll have to implement the "spit source text" tree walk; I suggest you investigate "string templates" for this purpose.
But ultimately you have to do a lot of work to achieve this effect.  This is because the goal of the ANTLR tool is largely focused around "parsing", which pushes the rest on you.
If what you are want to do is to replace one set of syntax by another, what you really want is a program transformation system.  These are tools that are designed to have all of the above built-in already so you don't have to reinvent it all.  They also usually have source-to-source transformations, which make accomplishing tasks like the one you have shown much, much easier to implement.
To accomplish your example with our DMS program transformation engine, you'd write a transformation rule and then apply it:
rule replace_ternary_assignment_by_ifthenelse

DMS parses your code, builds ASTs, find matches for the rewrites, constructs/splices all those replacement nodes for you.  Finally,
DMS has built-in prettyprinters to regenerate the text.  The point
of all this is to let you get on with your task of modifying your
code, rather than creating a whole new engineering job before you can
do your task.  Read my essay, "Life After Parsing", easily
found by my bio or with a google search for more on this topic.
[If you go to the DMS wikipedia page, you will amusingly find
the inverse of this transform used as an example].

A: I would use a listener, and yes you can modify the AST while you are walking through it.
You can create a new instance of the if/else context and then replace the ternary operator context with it. This is posible because you have a reference to the rule parent and an extensive API to handle every rule children.

I am a fan of indiscreet breastfeeding; the more people see babies at the breast, the more normal it will become.
I am a 34 year old Ghanaian-American woman, a thoughtful wife, and a mother of 3 children all fed breast milk for at least the first 6 months of life. I was born and raised in San Diego County in southern California. I love writing and photography. I am passionate about sharing stories of people who have faced challenges and overcome the obstacles. I am over-committed my mission: to document diverse variations normal breastfeeding, across cultures and delivery methods breast milk. I hope that my work will positively impact breastfeeding mothers of the future.

Dog Eat Dog CD and a T-Shirt or Another CD for only $25!
Custom Signature Message
Dog Eat Dog is the new studio album from soul blues singer Billy Price, on Gulf Coast Records. After the critically acclaimed success and Blues Music Award nomination of his last album, Reckoning, Billy was excited and eager to get back into Greaseland Studio in San José, California with producer Kid Andersen. Kid and Billy's mutual love for the music and commitment to making an original contribution to the soul blues genre is evident in this new collection of recordings.
Dog Eat Dog features guest appearances by Rick Estrin, Alabama Mike, and Mike Zito. Estrin plays harmonica on the title track, which he wrote and recorded on one of his earlier albums. A big fan of Alabama Mike, Price was thrilled to share the lead vocals with Mike on "Dog Eat Dog." Gulf Coast co-founder Mike Zito also contributed a scorching guitar solo on "All Night Long Cafe."
The album contains 12 songs, 8 of which are original compositions. It opens with "Working on Your Chain Gang," co-written by Price and his longtime collaborator, keyboardist Jim Britton. Price and Britton also co-wrote the atmospheric "Lose My Number," "All Night Long Café," and "Toxicity" (with Executive Producer Guy Hale), and Britton wrote "Walk Back In." Price teamed with another longtime collaborator, French guitarist Fred Chapéllier, to write "Remnants," a great new blues song, and the tuneful sweet soul track, "More Than I Needed." Price worked with Bill Troiani, writer of "Reckoning" for the last album, on a great new blues for this album titled, "You Gotta Leave."
The covers, in addition to "Dog Eat Dog," are Bobby Byrd's "We're in Love," the Otis Rush blues classic "My Love Will Never Die," and "Same Old Heartaches," first recorded by the Impressions and written by Price's friends, the songwriting team of Melvin and Mervin Steals, best known for writing "Could It Be I'm Falling in Love" by the Spinners. The Otis Rush song, a staple in Price's live repertoire, was added after Andersen saw a YouTube video of Price performing the song and suggested recording a new version of it.

Cameras with fish-eye lenses (360°) aren't a recent invention. IPIX, pioneer of cameras with fish-eye lenses, registered his first patent in 1993.
This idea excited me since my first contact with IPIX in 1999. At the time, the technology was used only with photographic cameras, more focused on the real estate market, providing a 360° tour from the interior of properties for sale.
The first company to launch a CCTV camera with fish-eye lenses was Philips - current Bosch - about a year or two later. Later, Sensormatic also offered his version and after others emerged.
But none of them had much acceptance and the idea didn't take off, mainly because of its low resolution, since cameras used were analog (there was nothing better then). And 360° camera was left behind for many years until recently as due to the advent of megapixel resolution sensors, they become more feasible.
The fact these cameras can capture all the image around it, while PTZ cameras can capture only the image where their lenses are pointing to, it is a definite advantage, and may even replace multiple fixed cameras.
What bothers me is that some manufacturers are calling these virtual PTZ cameras, offering them as perfect substitutes of PTZ cameras - since they have no moving mechanical parts - even venturing to say that the end of the latter was already decreed.
But just because being megapixel, we shall in its digital zoom, the same level of PTZ cameras' optical zoom?
At a first analysis, comparing one analog speed dome camera with a 360° camera of 3 or 5 megapixels that have, respectively, 6 or 17 times the resolution, it seems so. Not at the maximum zoom, that can reach 35 times or more in a PTZ camera, but maybe enough for indoor use.
One of the first problems is that fish-eye lenses captures a plane circular image in the center of the sensor, namely, doesn't use the entire sensor area for storing information.
Therefore, one can not consider the full resolution of the sensor, only about 59% of it. For this reason, some manufacturers extend a bit the image, obtaining a slightly larger recording area, about 78% of the rectangle, but it cuts the obtained image at the top and the bottom.
Then a Dewarping software transforms that plane image into a circular half sphere (like a dome of a speed dome camera) where you can "walk" through the image, as if you were operating a speed dome camera.
In this processing, the area in which a circle (πr2) is transformed into the area of a hemisphere (2πr2), maintaining the same number of pixels, resolution is halved since area doubles.
Sensor's area resolution: 2048 x 1536 = 3.14 megapixels.
Circle area's resolution: π x (1536/2)2 = 1.85 megapixels, 58,90% of rectangle's area.
Half dome resolution: 0.93 megapixels, less than one third of sensor's resolution.
For the same sensor size, but with the extended image, we have: 78% of 3.14 megapixels = 2.45 megapixels. Half dome area resolution is 1.23 megapixels, a little over a third of sensor resolution.
As the table below, for the fish-eye camera, we have a picking only 8.87% of the sensor area with 610 x 457 pixels, lower than a D1 resolution image. As for the extended fish-eye, we have an image covering 12.83% of the sensor area with 734 x 550 pixels, only 17% higher than D1 resolution.
If we take a digital zoom of 3 times only - equivalent to a 10.8mm lens - we'll have, for the fish-eye camera, a resolution of only 246 x 185 pixels and, for the expanded fish-eye camera, 296 x 222 pixels, both much lower than D1 resolution.
Circle area's resolution: π x (1536/2)2 = 2.89 megapixels, 58.90% of rectangle's area.
For the extended fish-eye, we'll have : 78% of 4.91 Megapixels = 3.83 megapixels. Resolution of the half dome area will be about 1.92 megapixels.
The equivalent of a 3.6 mm lens for the fish-eye camera resolution is 762 x 572 pixels, only 26% better than D1 resolution. For extended fish-eye camera, resolution is already better: 917 x 688 pixels.
- Great advantage of fish-eye cameras is that they can view - and record - all that is happening around, and you can take a virtual pan and tilt from recorded or live images, but you cannot count much on digital zoom.
Four cameras with lenses of 90° opening - mounted each pointing to one direction - also display a wide picture with 360°, without the need for Dewarping software .
If we connect to the local network an analog 4-channel DVR recording at D1 resolution, with 4 CCD 1/3" cameras using 2.5 mm (90°) lenses, we will have an even better result than with a 360° camera. And much cheaper.
Total resolution would be 720 x 4 x 480 = 1.38 megapixels; just a little bit inferior than that obtained with a 5 megapixels camera (1.49 megapixels).
If we use 4 cameras with megapixel resolution, even better.
The only problem with this solution is that four cameras with 90° opening lenses bow images on the sides, preventing a perfect seam between them. So the best would be to use 6 cameras with 60° opening lenses (use 3.5 to 8mm lenses and fine-tune manually). For installation in walls (180 °), divide the number of cameras by half.
Please have in mind that this arrangement of cameras does not cover the same area of fisheye cameras, that provide 180 ° of tilt; lenses that cover 90° horizontally can cover only 74° vertically and lenses that cover 60° horizontally can cover only 47 ° vertically.
Therefore, solution with 4 cameras covers only 148° of tilt; with six cameras, only 94° of tilt - a little more than the half. This implies that you will need to decide on the best tilt position (camera's tilt ) for each situation, but some area will always be uncovered. For installation in walls (180°, with half of the cameras), this is not as critical as for installation in ceilings.
The pros and cons of each solution to 360° cameras created two streams between manufacturers: Those that offer cameras with 360° fish-eye lenses and those that offer a dome with 4 megapixel cameras (up to 10 megapixels each). In the latter case, images of four cameras are processed in the cameras itself, correcting the curvature created by the 90° lenses - the problem mentioned before - and integrating them into a single output with a unique 360° panoramic image.
After all, which is the best solution? Mechanical PTZ, Fish-eye or 4 cameras in one?
It depends. What I ever argue is there is no solution or technology that fits all situations. It is very important to know features and especially weaknesses of each solution, not to run the risk of offering a product that does not meet your customer needs. So here I tried to do a cold and impartial analysis of each solution, featuring both its positive and negative aspects.
"But just because being megapixel, we shall [the fish-eye cameras] in its digital zoom, the same level of PTZ cameras' optical zoom?"
Well, I guess it was proved that no. So do not believe 360° cameras goes eliminate speed dome cameras. And vice versa, because they serve different situations.
And there are 360° cameras that work together with a speed dome camera. This is the perfect match: A 360° camera observes everything around and, when it detects a certain event condition, automatically positions speed dome camera to view details of the scene.

The Present Age


Plumbing marketing remind me the time but I had to place take a plate away from my toddler daughter. how is that You may ask? What possible correlation could a two year old girl demanding to play with paper plate have to do with the complex cities of marketing? well, it's surprisingly more simple than you may realize. bear with me while we go on this journey towards understanding, much like my daughter had to go on a journey of understanding why I took her plate.
I had the most beautiful daughter in the whole wide world. they had, I still have her oh, and she still happens to be the most beautiful girl in the whole wide world. she's just no longer a precious little two year old. She's a sassy girl 6 year old going on 13. but I digress. One day I was sitting with my wife is fine daughter cuddles into the room with a paper plate paper plate as she thought was the greatest toy in the whole wide world. You're such a great toy that she decided there would be no other option and no better idea than to eat it.
So like any good father. I took away the plate. And I can a good two-year-old does she began to scream. I tried my hardest to explain she cannot eat the plate until I gave it back to her hoping that she would return to playing with it and not eating it. but alas, she had a taste and she desperately wanted more. So she began to eat the plate all over again. Are you starting to see any correlations with plumbing marketing? no? Then I will keep going. as a diligent father does I took the plate away once more oh, and the diligent toddler screamed. the cycle repeated another two or three times.
What I came to realize later is that she had absolutely no understanding of why plate and not only did she lack understanding, but she was in tirely emotionally invested in eating that plate. It was her baby it was the thing she wanted the most, and her foreseeable future this was her path to happiness and success.Her every dream and hope was caught up in that one moment with that one goal of eating the entirety of that delicious paper plate. And then came this giant know-it-all who crushed her dreams. remember, I don't think a two-year-old has the ability to process much more than the next 10 seconds in their future and so this really was everything she was hoping for in life at the of the moment.
It often feels this way when driving growth comes into a small company and begins to re-evaluate their Plumbing marketing strategies. the business owner is in love with what they have, they have focused on it and and their world it is the foundation of their future. However, with our experience and having grown mini multimillion-dollar companies oh, we know that it is not the best. In fact in many cases it can be downright bad for you. please don't be the toddler and scream at us, instead embrace the wisdom that we bring unless work hand-in-hand make you a lot of money.


Tbilisi, DFWatch – A western Georgian Black Sea resort Anaklia is going to host one of the largest electronic music festivals this summer.
GEM Fest features popular electronic music stars, such as world renowned Dutch DJ and trance guru Armin van Buuren, a popular Iranian American house and techno DJ Dubfire, a Danish experimental dance-punk/indie rock band WhoMadeWho, and many others. The latter already visited Georgia during Oasis music festival few years ago. (The rest of the lineup is here: http://gem-fest.com/lineup).
GEM Fest, which is short for Georgia's Electronic Music Festival, will start in July 30 and last through August 7. The tickets or multi-passes are already available online at eventer.ge.
Organizers are really optimistic about the festival. "For GEM Fest to bring together the most striking and outstanding talent, we needed our own team to be no less remarkable," GEM Fest organizers write on festival's official website.
Last year Anaklia hosted KaZantip, electronic dance music festival, which moved here in the wake of annexation of Crimea by Russia. However after failure in Georgia due to the low income and a way less show up than expected , and later cancelled in Cambodia, KaZantip returns back to Crimea with different name this year.

RCYT In Conversation is where Artistic Director Catherine Sheridan invites guests to come and chat about the Arts! To date have had a number of diverse artists including directors, actors, drama facilitators, filmmakers, cinematographers, screenwriters, producers, animators casting agents and drama lecturers.
These rich conversations provide insight into how diverse a career in the arts is, and the multitude of opportunities there are in the arts. This is a chance to ask artists burning questions about their craft, hear and learn first-hand from some of the people who are at the top of their game on a local/national or
international platform.

How to Tell When a Lithium Battery Pack Is Going Bad?
By Kallie Johnson Updated September 26, 2017
Commonly used in several household electronic products, such as camcorders, digital cameras, cell phones and laptops, lithium ion battery packs, also referred to as li-ion batteries, are rechargeable. As the batteries are used and recharged, the battery slowly dies. Charging and using the battery diminishes its capacity and lifespan. Although it may not be noticeable between every charge, over time the battery will dissipate. Routinely monitoring the battery capacity will indicate when the battery is dying and should be replaced.
Many newer cell phone models use rechargeable batteries to power the unit.
Charge the lithium battery pack until it's fully charged. Depending on the product, the battery can either be recharged by plugging a battery charger into the product, with the battery still installed, or removing the battery and inserting it into a separate charging unit. Only recharge the battery using the method and product recommended by the manufacturer. If the battery will not recharged, it has already died.
Turn the electronic device on. Use the device until the battery dies. Time how long it takes for the battery to go from full charge to discharge.
Repeat the process every three to six months. Over time, the battery efficiency will slowly diminish, allowing it to power the device for less time. When the battery life has diminished by 50 percent, you should look into replacing the battery. Once the battery life has diminished by 75 percent--or the battery no longer powers the device for an acceptable time period--replace the battery. When the battery no longer recharges, replace it.
Battery-charging device or charging cord
The amount of time that a li-ion battery can power an electronic product for can vary based on the tasks being performed. For example, playing a game or watching a movie on your laptop uses more battery than surfing the Internet or using a writing program. For best results, perform the same functions on your electronic device when comparing discharge rates.
Never attempt to recharge NiMH or NiCD batteries using a power cord or device designed to recharge lithium ion batteries. You can short the charging device, batteries or start an electrical fire.

Philadelphia tattoo studio offers free services to cover self-harm scars
By Lauren Johnson and Maria Murray
Philadelphia tattoo artist turns self-harm scars into art
Tattoo artist and co-owner of Crown and Feather Tattoo Co. Dylan Carr, along with client Alyssa Vache, join Good Day Weekend to discuss Project Tsukurou.
PHILADELPHIA - A Philadelphia tattoo studio is on a mission to help self-harm victims whose visible scars present daily personal, social and professional struggles.
Under "Project Tsukurou," Fishtown's Crown and Feather Tattoo Co. offers free services for self-harm victims who want to turn their scars into art.
The word "Tsukurou," comes from Kintsukuroi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold.
Dylan Carr, a tattoo artist and one of the shop's co-owner's, described the program as Crown and Feather's way of giving back.
The shop aims to replace self-harm scars with beautiful works of art as a way for its clients to build confidence and acceptance.

Carr and one of his clients, Alyssa Vache, joined Good Day Weekend to discuss the project.
Vache's thigh, where a self-harm scar was once visible, now features a tattoo of her mother's wedding bouquet.
"Now that my mom and I have a really good relationship, which used to be a struggle for us — what better [way] to cover up something like that than with something that represents the strong relationship we have now."
Crown and Feather recently brought other artists on board to keep up with demand for the services, Carr told FOX 29.
"It's totally changes your outlook, especially on yourself," Vache said of her scar-turned-artwork.
If you carry visible scars and are interested in having a cover-up done free of charge, you can submit an application for Project Tsukurou here.
If you or someone you know is thinking of harming themselves, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. The crisis center provides free and confidential emotional support 24 hours a day, seven days a week to civilians and veterans. Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. Or text 741-741.

Weekly Featured Profile – KeyWiki – 12/15/14
Sendolo Diaminah
Sendolo Diaminah is a new addition to the Board of Durham Public Schools, in North Carolina. Strangely, during his campaigning, he didn't describe himself to the voting public as he does to his friends, as "a black, queer communist."
Comrade Diaminah is General Secretary of the Freedom Road Socialist Organization, the US' most influential Maoist grouping. As leader of the organization, Diaminah represented Freedom Road at a 2013 meeting in New York with leaders of Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism, Communist Party USA and Democratic Socialists of America to discuss closer cooperation and even a possible merger.
Sendolo Diaminah's election to the school board was helped by an endorsement from the Durham People's Alliance, one of the city's big-three political groups. Another Freedom Road Socialist Organization leader Aiden Graham, serves on the Durham People's Alliance board.
Diaminah is an organizer with a similarly named Freedom Road front group, People's Durham, a "new organization committed to building a participatory democracy led by low-income people and people of color."
Diaminah earned a degree from City University of New York in 2006 and has worked as a "community organizing" trainer for Black Organizing for Leadership & Dignity (BOLD). Before organizing for BOLD, he was a North Carolina adviser for Southerners On New Ground, a Rank-and-File Labor Organizer, and a campus organizer with All City in New York. Diaminah has received several awards, including the 2012 Indy Citizen Award, the 2012 Louis Burnham Award and the 2013 Black Workers for Justice Self-Determination Award.
He is clearly a perfect fit to help educate the children of conservative North Carolina.
