Transistor Collectible Figure — Buy From Supergiant Games:
Supergiant's vinyl figurine of Red, the star heroine from Transistor, is an absolute knockout of a collectible, and an absolute must have for fans of the game. The 6″ tall Red looks like a model carved straight out of a cartoon, bursting with rich, vibrant color and detail. The figure is so expressive, from her pose to her bright blue eyes to her flowing red hair. The Transistor sword she's holding behind her back looks great too, the blade made up of translucent plastic to match its sort of glassy appearance in the game. Even the packaging is gorgeous, a bookshelf or desktop centerpiece as a backdrop to Red, or with the figure kept inside to maintain mint condition.
IncrediBuilds — Buy From Amazon:
Primarily based on various pop culture franchises such as Star Wars, Marvel Comics, Harry Potter, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Finding Dory, Minions, and even gaming series like Destiny and Assassin's Creed (plus other themes like animals and famous landmarks), IncrediBuilds is an awesome new line of wooden 3D models from book publisher Insight Editions. Each model kit comes with the necessary pieces to build a Batmobile, Captain America's Shield, Millennium Falcon or other replica on wooden punch-out sheets, the number and size of the pieces determined by the skill level of the model, based on a four star difficulty scale. Some of the kits even come with a companion book with additional information about the model subject. The Destiny Sparrow speeder bike I assembled is a 4-star expert level model consisting of 182 pieces, many of which are incredibly tiny. The instructions are mostly clear and easy to follow, though with some of the smaller pieces it can be hard to see exactly where the diagrams are pointing to or how to angle a piece. That's fine, because as much as these are models, in a way they're also 3D puzzles. Reading the instructions step-by-step and finding the pieces needed for each step is like a game of seek-and-find on its own. Punching the pieces out of the sheets is sometimes a challenge, especially when trying to find the right balance of being forceful without pushing too hard that a piece breaks (I did have one piece break, but thankfully I was able to repair it). Assembling the pieces is a snap thanks to an interlocking design whereby the pieces consist of various notches and grooves that connect by sliding together. The interlocking connections are more than stable enough to hold on their own, but glue can be applied if desired for a more permanent fit. The models look great as plain wood, the outer panels featuring intricate, laser-etched markings for extra detail, but the option is available to color or paint the outer surface, for those uber crafty folks interested in adding their own personal touch of customization. At the end, you're left with a wooden replica you can feel proud to display for all to see on a table, office desk, or bookshelf. Model builders and puzzle solvers of all ages will love these, and the wide range of designs means there's something for everyone.
ABZÛ Soundtrack — Buy From Amazon or Iam8bit:
There's been a lot of great game music to treat your ears to in 2016, but to my ears nothing's been better than the score to underwater adventure ABZÛ. Austin Wintory's serene score is right up there with his Grammy-nominated work on Journey, encompassing the eardrums in the full majesty of the oceanic depths and evoking the sounds of playful sea life, laced with notes of mystery and spirituality. Get it on CD. Get it on vinyl. Get it via digital download. I don't care how you get it, just make sure to get it!
Dungeons & Dragons Rock Paper Wizard — Buy From Amazon:
Putting a fantasy Dungeons & Dragons twist on the hand gesture game of rock-paper-scissors, Rock Paper Wizard by WizKids is a tabletop board game of competitive spell casting designed for 3-6 players, target age group of 14 years and up. The game starts with the premise that participants are a team of powerful wizards that has just killed a dragon, leaving the mighty red beast's treasure hoard open to plunder and pillage. Greed turns the party of wizards against one another, and a battle of sorcery ensues to see who walks out of the dungeon with the most gold in their robe pockets and coin satchels.
Each player takes on the role of a different-colored wizard, identified by a placard tile and a standee placed on the compact play board, which is a little over a foot long and less than half a foot wide. The players all start with their character figure placed at the center of the board, representing the dragon's cave with an exit zone on the far left and the treasure hoard zone on the far right. Each turn spell cards equal to the number of players are revealed in a line above the board, each card displaying the unique hand gesture and effects for the respective spell (form the hand in a C shape for Color Spray, make a pair of fangs with the index and middle fingers for Vampiric Touch, hold a closed fist for Fireball, and so on). Players secretly decide their spell from the current card pool, as well as their target for the round. Once everyone is ready to proceed, all players say "Rock, Paper, Wizard" and simultaneously perform their chosen spells' corresponding hand gestures toward the targeted opposing player, the object being to become the richest wizard at the end of the game by strategizing spells that move your standee closer to the hoard zone and push other players back towards the exit. Once all spells are resolved and a round ends, the player closest to the hoard earns five gold while the second closest player earns three gold.
The game is simple and quick to set up, requiring very little table or floor space, and the rules, which in part draw from a classic game everyone is already familiar with to some extent, are incredibly easy to learn within the few minutes it takes to read the included guidebook and the subsequent time it takes to complete your first game. A fast, fun board game for fantasy geeks of all ages, Rock Paper Wizard is the perfect introductory stepping stone into the fantasy world of Dungeons & Dragons.
Marvel Dice Masters: Deadpool — Buy from Amazon:
Marvel's dice-based deckbuilding card game is back with a new expansion drawing on the heightened hype and popularity Deadpool has achieved since the surprise success of the recent movie. The Merc with a Mouth's Dice Masters set introduces cards and dice for more than 30 heroes and villains, spanning a total set of 134 new cards, including commons, uncommons, rares, and super-rares, as well as foil variants for all cards. $0.99 foil packs each include two cards and matching dice. The Deadpool set features a number of really cool characters for players to fold and roll into their existing collections. Agent Carter, Agent X, Black Tom Cassidy, Bob Agent of Hydra, Colossus, Hit-Monkey, Lockjaw, Mister Sinister, M.O.D.O.K., Multiple Man, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Stepford Cuckoos, Taskmaster, and of course the full range of "pools" such as Deadpool, Lady Deadpool, Dogpool, Kidpool, and Evil Deadpool. Deadpool also comes bearing some new abilities to spice up gameplay, headlined by Deadly, which at the end of the turn KO's all character dice that engage with the character die equipped with the power. From a collectibles perspective, the card art and dice designs and color schemes are also very well done. Deadpool definitely brings a new level of awesome to Dice Masters.
Pathfinder Battles: Deadly Foes Miniatures — Buy From Amazon:
Deadly Foes is the latest set of pre-painted miniature figures pulled from Paizo's Pathfinder role-playing universe. The set includes 52 figures in all, sold primarily in standard booster packs for $15.99 (booster bricks are available as well, as are individual figures), each blind box containing a random assortment of one large figure and three smaller characters. The underside of each miniature's rounded base is printed with the character's name and number within the set. The figures vary drastically in size and scale. The largest one I got out of eight boosters was the Gynosphinx, which stands about 4″ and has a wide wingspan of around 3″. The smallest, ironically given its name, has to be the Giant Crab, which measures under an inch in all dimensions. The collection also includes two larger display figures, the Clockwork Dragon and the Spawn of Cthulhu, as well as rare unnumbered pieces meant for "dungeon dressing," for example the Hellgate and Book of the Damned. Large or small, the miniatures are intricately modeled and beautifully painted, each figure done up in different materials, textures, and colors. The Invisible Guardian, for example, has a cloudy, smoky translucence to its plastic, while the spear-wielding Salamander's red serpentine body is smooth and shiny and feels like scales when you run a finger over it. The midnight blue sheen and fine detail work on the Torrent Hellknight's armor is another standout build. Some of my other personal favorites are the majestic ivory Unicorn, the tentacled Sewer Beast (the detail in the skin texture and its mouthful of many tiny teeth is fantastic), and the brutish Cave Giant, all muscular and terrifying with its devil horned chin and giant bone axe. Pathfinder role-players will enjoy having these along for their next campaign, while fantasy buffs in general should find joy in expressing their nerdom by putting these out for display on a table or bookshelf.
PlayStation Stubbins Plushies — Buy From Amazon or PlayStation Gear Store:
These appropriately named desktop dolls are cute as a button, aren't they? Based on popular PlayStation franchises, Stubbins plushies are available for PaRappa the Rapper, Nathan Drake (two versions), Ratchet (two versions), Sackboy, and The Hunter (from Bloodborne). Each one's $15, which seems like a fair price for a 6″ plush. I'd be thrilled to see any one of these little guys hanging out of my stocking come Christmas morning (The Hunter and PaRappa in particular).
Eyezen Digital Glasses — Buy From Amazon or Foster Grant:
As human beings become increasingly glued to their TV screens, computer monitors, and mobile devices for extended periods of time every single day, problems with eye strain, fatigue, and dryness are a cause of concern. Eyezen glasses by Foster Grant help to combat these ocular issues, stemming primarily from heavy exposure to the blue-violet light radiating from our favorite tech gadgets, no prescription required. Affordably priced at just $34.99 a pair, Eyezen glasses feature a special coating that blocks potentially harmful blue light while also providing a slight image magnification to reduce the workload on your eyes. Available in a nice range of fashionable frame designs, each pair also includes a neoprene case to store the glasses in while not in use, to keep them from getting dusty and whatnot. I've experienced excellent results testing out a few different styles, to the point that whenever I forget to put them on after about five minutes I begin to notice my eyes becoming tired or irritated, especially towards the end of the day. Then, once I put the glasses on, a subtle sense of relief sets in almost immediately. One minor issue I have encountered, though, is occasional glare. Despite supposedly having an anti-reflective coating, in certain lighting conditions I'll catch a spot of glare or a faint reflection of my own eyes off of the lenses. In the past I've also used dedicated gaming glasses by Gunnar Optiks, which do work well in the same capacity. But I have to say that I prefer the Eyezen glasses. They're a whole lot cheaper for one thing. I think that the construction of the frames and hinges is of a higher quality as well. The lens tinting on the Gunnars I've used has also been stronger, noticeably altering the visible color of the screen image being viewed. Eyezens do have a little bit of a tint, but it's not as severe, so that's another plus. Anyone who spends a lot of time gaming, computing, or buried in a smartphone or tablet owe their eyes the added protection these glasses provide.
Song of the Deep Funko Pop! Rides Vinyl Figure — Buy From Amazon:
GameStop sure didn't skimp on the tie-in merchandising for Insomniac's latest title Song of the Deep. In addition to a series of books and other knick-knacks, Funko produced a Pop! Rides collectible consisting of a vinyl figure of game protagonist Merryn aboard her homemade submarine. The Merryn figure is cheery and as cute as a button, featuring an adorably oversized head that in typical Funko Pop! style, while the larger submarine replica is sharply detailed and painted. Both Merryn's head and the submarine's see-through base swivel, though her head only rotates side to side rather than a full 360-degree rotation (she's not the girl from The Exorcist after all). The two can stand up on their own, or the Merryn figure can be slotted onto pegs within the boat's cockpit so she's helming the steering wheel. The figure is around 4 to 5 inches, while the boat stands between 6 and 7 inches.
The Witcher 3 Geralt of Rivia Figure — Buy From Amazon, J!NX, or The Witcher Official Store:
Sure to go down a treat with any fan or collector of CD Projekt RED's epic role-playing franchise The Witcher, this stylized 6″ vinyl figure of the series' iconic hero is both adorable, in that super-deformed kind of way, and imposing, the toy version of Geralt sporting his signature scar and deadpan scowl. Geralt is armed with silver sword and metal sword accessories worn in scabbards on his back, which can be removed and equipped to his hands. The figure also features multiple points of articulation (at the neck, shoulders, and wrists from what I can tell) for different posing configurations. Well done, J!NX.
Magic Sketch — Buy From Amazon or Magic Sketch:
Sort of like a modern take on the classic Etch A Sketch, Magic Sketch is a new drawing tablet toy for children. Powered by a CR2016 3V lithium battery that is supposed to last seven years, the Magic Sketch is a thin tablet, about a centimeter thick, that you draw on with the included stylus, and erase at the push of a button. Lines drawn on the screen appear in a rainbow spectrum that changes color as you draw across the screen. For $29.95, each kit includes four different styli, three rubber stamps, a stamp roller, a case that serves as a screen protector when not in use and a backboard to hold the tablet steady when flipped facing forward, and a pack of 60 stencils. So in addition to free drawing, the transparency of the board allows you to place stencil cards underneath for different activities. The stencils come in three types, including pictures of animals and butterflies and dinosaurs and rocket ships for tracing; games like hangman, word searches, mazes, connect the dots, and tic-tac-toe; and activities for learning math, letters, shapes, and numbers. The only minor issue with the tracing is the darkness of the screen tint, so even though you can see through it, the shading is dark enough that you do need to have a bright light source nearby to be able to see the stencils underneath, and even then visibility isn't as clear as it could be. With the stamps, you also need to push down pretty hard to get the full image to show up properly. Designed for kids ages 4 and up, Magic Sketch is a great toy, both fun and educational, for youngsters who enjoy art and drawing. It's spill resistant too–liquid beads up and rolls/wipes right off the screen–so you don't have to worry about children drinking around it or grabbing it with grubby fingers. Instead of risking your expensive real tablet or smartphone in the careless hands of children, get them their own Magic Sketch.
Pixel Pals — Buy From PDP or GameStop:
Selling for $15 a pop, Pixel Pals are collectible figures fashioned in an 8-bit pixel art style that retro enthusiasts will absolutely adore. I haven't been able to check these out firsthand yet so I'm not sure about the size of the figures, but they appear to be fairly small. What's really cool about the Pixel Pals is the way they double as little lamps, glowing for all to see once a couple AAA batteries are plugged in. Current character options include Mario, Mega Man, and Fallout's Vault Boy. Hopefully these are only the first of many Pixel Pals PDP has in the works. I'd much rather collect these than something like Amiibo.
Mighty Mug — Buy From Amazon or The Mighty Mug:
It's been a number of years since the last time I recommended Mighty Mug as a holiday gift idea. Back then the original Mighty Mug was a lidded mug with a circular, coaster-like ring of rubber around the base that forms a secure seal, like an airlock rather than a suction cup, to avoid accidental spills. When lifting from the handle to take a drink, the mug releases naturally from the table surface with ease, but when bumped or nudged from the side the Smartgrip ring keeps the mug from tipping over. They work amazingly well–though keep in mind that the grip isn't designed for curved or textured surfaces. The technology is the same, but the design has evolved and expanded in a lot of ways. The Mighty Mug line now includes a wide range of travel mugs of various capacities–the 11oz Mini and Solo, or the 16oz Biggie or Go–the 20oz insulated Ice mug with durable straw made primarily for keeping an icy drink cool while chilling outside on a hot summer's day, and more recently, a full collection of barware, including a wine stem, stemless double old fashioned, pilsner, and pint glass. The travel mugs come in a nice variety of color options, as well as models in plastic or insulated stainless steel, for keeping contents hot or cold for hours on end. Whichever style you choose, Mighty Mug is a handy drinking device that pretty much anyone should be able to find a use for, especially folks who keep a drink on their computer desks or around work or school papers, where a coffee, soda, or water spill could turn into a disaster. They're also ideal for anyone with children or pets running around–it's just too bad Mighty Mug does not yet offer dedicated sippy cups for kids.
Boxed Indie Games:
As a grumpy old school gamer, I love seeing that there are still companies out there keeping the physical boxed game market alive and kicking. Obviously the big AAA games are always going to have a disc version available alongside digital, but nowadays indie games are mostly confined to digital download storefronts. That makes the work that companies like IndieBox are doing so wonderful, rekindling that special feeling of owning a game in a nice box with some extra goodies by offering collector's edition PC games as part of a monthly subscription service or as standalone purchases. Limited Run Games is another fantastic source for physical games. They work with indie developers, driven by fan requests, to release extremely limited runs (hence the studio's name) of region free PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 4 games in boxes. For example, the next two games are coming up for pre-order on Friday, December 16th, including Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD for Vita (limited to 4,500 copies worldwide) and Firewatch for PS4 (7,300 copies). Adding to the collector's value, once a print run of a game sells out, it's gone for good, never to receive a second printing. The premium paid for owning a limited physical edition usually isn't too expensive either. Firewatch, for example, sells for $20 digitally, while the box copy is set to go on sale for $30. Other games, like the upcoming boxed release of Lone Survivor Director's Cut, are pricier, going up from $9.99 digitally to $24.99 for physical.
Disc releases of console indie games are also becoming more popular from niche publishers like Maximum Games, Soedesco, Sold Out, BadLand Games, and Nighthawk Interactive, often with extra content and/or bonus DLC. Couch co-op cooking game Overcooked, out on PS4 and Xbox One in a special Gourmet Edition featuring an exclusive Lost Morsel DLC pack, is a tasty culinary quest well worth ordering from Sold Out and Team17. Build your own maximum security prison in Introversion Software's construction and management simulation gem Prison Architect. Even Zen Studios' huge library of pinball tables is beginning to get some retail love, Nighthawk just recently shipping a bundled compilation of 10 tables from the Marvel Pinball series. There are so many other great options to choose from as well, such as the OlliOlli Epic Combo Edition, Lumo, Aragami Collector's Edition, Toki Tori 2+, Carmageddon: Max Damage, Steamworld Collection (combo pack of SteamWorld Dig and SteamWorld Heist), Runbow, Tumblestone, Earth's Dawn, and Shantae: Half-Genie Hero. These are all fun, unique experiences that the average gamer on your gift list may not know about but should be exposed to.
PrimaGames Collector's Edition Strategy Guides — Buy From Amazon:
Prima strategy guides are always a safe companion gift to bundle up with a game, or to give to a fan or collector of a particular game or series. The standard edition guides are fine, but getting a collector's edition guide gives that extra fuzzy feeling of owning something special to go along with the rest of your game collection. In addition to hardcovers with unique art, all of the collector's editions come with exclusive perks, like additional pages containing behind-the-scenes info and/or concept artwork, and in most instances physical collectibles, which are like little bonus stocking stuffers with purchase. The collectibles come in a wide range. For example, the Uncharted 4 CE guide includes a silver dollar-size pirate sigil coin. The CE guides for Titanfall 2 and Mafia III come with 8″ x 11″ 14-month wall calendars, each month accompanied by high quality prints of artwork and shots from the game. With Watch Dogs 2, you get a collection of four replica DedSec buttons like the "pieces of flair" protagonist Marcus Holloway wears one his pack in game. A couple pages of wall cling stickers come with FarCry: Primal, so you can create cave paintings in your own room. Dishonored 2 features an envelope containing eight 7.5″ x 10.5″ lithograph prints of propaganda art and wanted posters pulled from the game world. The Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare CE probably has the most to offer, including a large 16″ x 24″ black flag waving the Jackal livery, as well as a full-size Developer's Handbook, a standalone hardcover behind-the-scenes art book.
Of course Prima couldn't help but try to ride the nostalgia hype of the NES Classic Edition console with Playing With Power, a guidebook containing tips and walkthroughs for 17 classic NES titles such as Super Mario Bros., Legend of Zelda, Dr. Mario, Kirby's Adventure, Metroid, and Kid Icarus. The guide itself isn't as in-depth as it could be (all of the information inside is readily available online at this point anyway), but it comes in a nice slipcase that replicates the look of an NES game cartridge and has a hardcover replicating an NES controller. In terms of pure depth of information and strategies, the Uncharted 4 guide is among the best of this year's lineup. The maps come in very handy for finding the hidden treasure collectibles, while also using guidelines to show alternate routes, including stealth paths. The game has some rather tricky trophies in it as well; the tips in this guide will help you get that prized Platinum in no time. The Street Fighter V guide is another standout, packed with informative text describing in detail the game's mechanics as well as the movesets and close, mid, and long range fighting strategies for each fighter. It's a super impressive guide, and the CE comes with a frame-ready matted art printed of Ken and Ryu standing back to back in full on bro-brood mode.
USAopoly Collector's Jigsaw Puzzles — Buy From Amazon:
You know me and jigsaw puzzles; I just love them. Thanks to USAopoly, there are plenty of collectible jigsaw themes to satisfy any puzzle geek. My personal favorites this year are the Wind Waker stained glass mural and the Fallout "Neighborhood Patrol" puzzle. Other great video game themes include a world map of Skyrim, "Links Ride" based on Ocarina of Time, and a Super Mario Maker puzzle that captures the retro nostalgia of the original Super Mario Bros. Beyond gaming, there are also puzzles based on The Walking Dead, Pokémon, Ghostbusters, Harry Potter, Supernatural, Rick and Morty, and Yu-Gi-Oh. One of the great thing about jigsaw puzzles as gifts is that they are inexpensive yet keep you busy for hours if not days or sometimes even weeks depending on size and difficulty.
Song of the Deep Collector's Edition Jigsaw Puzzle — Buy From GameStop:
"At 24″ x 18" and 550 pieces, the Song of the Deep puzzle is about average size for a jigsaw. The art used portrays the memorable scene of heroine Merryn standing on the peak of a cliff while holding up a flaming candle, something she does every night as a beacon to signal her fisherman father on his return voyage home from a long, hard day at sea. Though gloomy, it's a beautiful image, with the soft glow of the moonlight reflecting off the ocean at the bottom and clouds in shades of midnight blue and purple billowing up as a sort of semi-circle frame that immediately draws your eye to the central shot of Merryn looking out over the dark ocean." Read our full review here.
Cut the Rope x Modify Watches — Buy From Amazon or Modify:
"Modify Watches do a great job of marrying a slick, geek-chic sense of style with comfort, durability, affordability, and basic, no-frills functionality. In addition to the Cut the Rope line, videogame fashionistas can choose from other collections themed after game franchises like Borderlands, Tetris, and XCOM. Other brand collaboration themes extend into pop culture, sports team logos and player jerseys, artists and musicians, and organizations, as well as personalized options for designing a watch face with, say, a family photo. The possibilities are endless, and the modular design adds a gotta-get-them-all collectible quality that is hard to resist, even more so as a gamer." Read our full review here.

Innovaccer's new solution empowers care teams to identify and effectively manage social determinants of health to enhance population health across the continuum.
Innovaccer Inc., the leading San Francisco-based data activation company, announced today the launch of its SDOH Management solution tailored to capture SDOH data and leverage it to deliver enhanced care, powered by its Data Activation Platform. Created after months of extensive research & development (R&D), Innovaccer's goal of the solution is to empower physicians and care teams with visibility into the social needs of their patients, right in the moment of care.
Today, non-clinical factors can account for up to 80% of the health outcomes for patients. Such factors, including socioeconomic conditions, healthy behaviors, and physical environment, may vary drastically for each patient and can significantly impact health outcomes such as poor medication adherence, frequent visits to the ED, and more. Thus, it is essential to consider these factors while creating care plans to ensure that the specific needs of patients are addressed.
Healthcare's transition to value-based care is pushing organizations to lead more efficient population health management programs that address every clinical and social need of the population in which they serve. The challenge, however, is that organizations don't usually have the means to capture the social needs of the patients or address them beyond the four walls of a hospital to ensure that no care gaps remain unplugged.
To help healthcare organizations gain richer insights into social determinants of health (SDOH), Innovaccer's SDOH solution offers to assist healthcare organizations in a stepwise approach, starting with surveys for patients to complete in order to evaluate their social needs, such as access to food, housing situations, or economic conditions. Additionally, Innovaccer's solution allows care teams to send as many surveys as needed with multiple language support. Based on the answers received from the survey, the solution helps care teams find suitable community resources to assign to the patient from a pre-built national database.
The solution's AI-assisted closed-loop referral process to community resources enables care teams to ensure patient-centric care, even after an encounter is over. This closed-loop referral process gives physicians and social workers a complete visibility into the social needs of their patients, which allows them to refer their patients to the most relevant community resources. In fact, patients are also kept in the loop in such a way that they can track their referrals, give feedback, and coordinate with their providers at any time, all through a single mobile application.
The solution also triggers automated and real-time alerts to care teams, if a patient's needs are found to be urgent, such as high social risk or missed follow up. Additionally, the insights from the survey are available to the physicians right at the point of care within their EHR workflows, ensuring that they have a holistic picture of their patients.

Protesters Raise 'RESIST' Banner Opposing Trump Near White House
Greenpeace activists posted the message after the new president signed order continuing Dakota Access Pipeline construction.

Activists unfurl 'resist' banner after climbing construction crane near the White House https://t.co/SQ6KXUxNEe pic.twitter.com/x974yHhw7U
— CNN (@CNN) January 25, 2017
Greenpeace protesters hoisted a banner with the word "RESIST" Wednesday near the White House following President Donald Trump's order continuing Dakota Access pipeline construction, reports ABC News.
From ABC News:
The banner encouraging opposition to Trump's agenda was clearly visible from the grounds of the White House for several hours on Wednesday, and from some angles it appeared to hover over the building. Protesters hoped it would get under his skin. "There's nothing that irritates him more than to know he's not popular and we don't like him," one of the protesters, Karen Topakian, told The Associated Press in an interview conducted via FaceTime from high up on the crane.
District of Columbia police took a hands-off approach while the protesters suspended themselves from harnesses and ropes below the crane's huge arm. Police closed three city blocks to traffic and appeared content to wait until they climbed down to be arrested…
The protest comes a day after Trump signed orders intended to restart construction of two oil pipelines, the Dakota Access and the Keystone XL. Former president Barack Obama halted the Keystone XL pipeline in 2015 and the Army Corps of Engineers blocked the construction of the Dakota Access pipeline in December after months of protests led by the Standing Rock Sioux tribe, which gets drinking water from a reservoir in the pipeline's path.

Female Soldiers Afraid to Seek Post-Rape Care
Fewer than a third of military servicewomen asked for medical help after a sexual assault, according to a new study.
Charlotte Lytton
Military servicewomen who have been victims of sexual assault are unlikely to seek post-abuse care, a new study has found. Fewer than a third of those questioned sought medical help after their ordeal, while less than 2 percent of the 207 women in the study had received both physical and mental health treatment in the six months following the attacks.
"Few women got care and few women reported [the assault]," explains Dr. Michelle Mengeling, an affiliate investigator with the Department of Veterans Affairs Comprehensive Access and Delivery Research and Evaluation team and the study's lead author. "Sexual assault is widely considered the most serious and traumatic crime possible, short of homicide. One of the first steps in potentially mitigating some of the negative health effects of sexual assault is seeking immediate post-assault medical and mental health care."
Issues such as chronic pain symptoms, gastrointestinal problems, post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety are just a few of the possible outcomes of a sexual assault. Reliance on medical resources is usually increased for women who have been victims of such abuse, but these findings demonstrate a disconnect when it comes to female military personnel reaching out for help after what has happened to them. The servicewomen surveyed said they had not immediately sought medical attention for a number of reasons—namely embarrassment, believing they did not require it, or because they worried that receiving such assistance would be detrimental to their careers.
The latter qualm has regularly been touted as key in explaining why so few come forward in reporting attacks of this nature. "I've never met one victim who was able to report the crime and still retain their military career," Myla Haider, an agent in the Army's Central Investigation Command who was sexually assaulted while serving, told NPR. "Not one.
"When I reported [the rape], it was a very small part of my life. But by making that choice, my reporting of it took over my life, ruined my career and wound up, ultimately, getting me kicked out of the army."
Her case remains far from unique. In spite of the Department of Defense's efforts to stem the tide of sexual assault in the armed forces—largely by encouraging reporting and treatment in the aftermath of such crimes—the statistics are still troubling. Some 26,000 rapes and sexual assaults occurred in the military in 2012 (PDF), equating to around one-third of servicewomen—twice the civilian rate—being victims of such abuse. Fewer than one in seven cases were reported, and of those referred to the authorities, just 10 percent went to trial. A bipartisan bill seeking to create a more judicious prosecution system, by removing military commanders' decision-making powers in sexual assault cases, was rejected by the Senate in March 2014.
The situation was purported to be changing last year, during which time the number of military personnel reporting sexual crimes doubled—but no overall figure of the instances themselves was given, making it impossible determine whether such attacks were decreasing in number.
Following the report, Chuck Hagel, the Defense Secretary, introduced a series of initiatives aimed at managing the armed forces' problem with sexual violence. He pledged programs to improve unit leaders' knowledge and understanding of such issues, as well as procedures to ensure that those involved with the reporting of an incident would not fear reprisals for doing so.
Curbing institutionalized sexual assault is never going to be an easy process, but one thing's for sure: Focusing all efforts on helping women after they've already been attacked is to shut the barn door after the horse has bolted. Victims need restorative care—of that there is no doubt— but we need better procedures in place to educate military personnel on the harrowing effect this abuse has on its victims. It is difficult to accept that people fighting to protect the country can be capable of putting their colleagues in such grave danger, but we have a duty of care to shield people from sexual violence, and refusing to tackle the root of the problem is to dishonor those who exposed their suffering in the hopes of protecting others from a similar fate.

Biodiversity, though there is no universal definition, usually refers to all the life on Earth. This includes everything from microorganisms to plants to the mighty humpback whale. Conservationists and managers often use a more specific definition, including the genetic and ecosystem diversity which allows habitats to survive sudden changes.
Biodiversity provides us with our food, fibres, rubbers, oils and many of our drugs and medicines. It regulates the atmosphere, churns out our water and produces fertile soils. On a less quantifiable level, natural spaces are also important for mental health.
Biodiversity is under threat, with some estimates saying that 8 species a day are dying out. There are many reasons for this, but some of the biggest threats are habitat fragmentation and loss, climate change, pollution, invasive species and over-exploitation. Unless we address these threats, the planet may soon experience a species decline equal to the loss of the dinosaurs.

Q: Django - "return render(...)" doesn't work in a view that interacts with an ajax request I want to solve this task: I click a button on the first page and after that  my view creates a chat room and redirects me to the chat page.
I decided to use ajax request for this task, but I have a problem, my view works until line return render(request, 'chat/chatroom.html'), the chat room is created, but the chat/chatroom.html page doesn't open, I don't understand why. I have no errors, the return render(request, 'chat/chatroom.html') line does nothing.
My code:
html
<button type="submit" id="chat-button" value="{{advertisement.author.id}}">Write to the author</button>

<script>
    $(document).on('click', '#chat-button', function (e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    $.ajax({
      type: 'POST',
      url: '{% url "main_app:create-chat" %}',
      data: {
        send_to_id: $('#chat-button').val(),
        csrfmiddlewaretoken: $('input[name=csrfmiddlewaretoken]').val(),
        action: 'post'
      },
      success: function (json) {
      },
      error: function (xhr, errmsg, err) {
      }
    });
  })
</script>

views.py
from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model
from django.shortcuts import render, redirect, get_object_or_404
from django.db.models import Q
from django.utils.decorators import method_decorator
from django.views import View
from django.views.decorators.csrf import csrf_exempt

from chat.models import Thread

User = get_user_model()

@method_decorator(csrf_exempt, name='dispatch')
class CreateChat(View):

    def post(self, request):
        send_to_id = int(request.POST.get('send_to_id'))
        send_to = User.objects.get(id=send_to_id)
        auth_user = request.user
        final_q = Q(Q(first_person=send_to) & Q(second_person=auth_user)) \
                  | Q(Q(first_person=auth_user) & Q(second_person=send_to))
        thread = Thread.objects.filter(final_q)
        if not thread:
            Thread.objects.create(first_person=auth_user, second_person=send_to)

        return render(request, 'chat/chatroom.html')

urls.py
app_name = 'main_app'

urlpatterns = [
    ...
    path('create_chat', CreateChat.as_view(), name='create-chat')
]

I guess ajax request is not the best solution, but I don't know how to implement this feature in another way.
Thanks for the help.

A: AJAX always returns to request when it is called, so you can't render it to a new view. so to do this, when the request has been successfully completed, return status 200, etc. when getting the success response in AJAX call. likely in
success: function (json) {
      },

redirect it to the desired view. so the code will be like that.
from http.client import OK
from django.http import JsonResponse
@method_decorator(csrf_exempt, name='dispatch')
class CreateChat(View):

    def get(self,request):
        return render(request, 'chat/chatroom.html')

    def post(self, request):
        send_to_id = int(request.POST.get('send_to_id'))
        send_to = User.objects.get(id=send_to_id)
        auth_user = request.user
        final_q = Q(Q(first_person=send_to) & Q(second_person=auth_user)) \
                  | Q(Q(first_person=auth_user) & Q(second_person=send_to))
        thread = Thread.objects.filter(final_q)
        if not thread:
            Thread.objects.create(first_person=auth_user, second_person=send_to)
        return JsonResponse({},status=OK)

and the AJAX request will be like that
<script>
    $(document).on('click', '#chat-button', function (e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    $.ajax({
      type: 'POST',
      url: '{% url "main_app:create-chat" %}',
      data: {
        send_to_id: $('#chat-button').val(),
        csrfmiddlewaretoken: $('input[name=csrfmiddlewaretoken]').val(),
        action: 'post'
      },
      success: function (json) {
        location.href = "create-chat" // from here render create-chat
      },
      error: function (xhr, errmsg, err) {
      }
    });
  })
</script>

Reading: Integrated Hospital Discharge Programme
Integrated Hospital Discharge Programme
Laura Porro
PPLGB
Despite a plethora of initiatives and investment, growing demand has continued to outstrip ability to respond to needs in North West London (NWL); whilst cuts in social services have left many people who are medically fit to go home, stranded in hospital beds which are needed to treat new patients.
NWL exemplifies these challenges, with 2.3 million patients and over £4 billion spent annually, split across 8 local authorities, 8 clinical commissioning groups, 10 hospitals and multiple local providers. NWL has a well-established history of joint-working, but many services still operate in silos, with duplication, gaps and inefficiencies meaning that patients receive a poorer quality of service than they deserve.
Separate commissioning of services has resulted in a complex system of incompatible processes and pathways between local authorities and across hospital sites.
Our solution was to co-design and roll-out a single function across NWL, integrating health and social care staff, focused on:
Improving the experience and outcomes of care for patients, regardless of which borough they live in or which hospital they attended.
Reducing critical capacity pressures on local acute services.
In practice: WLA engaged with over 200 staff and managers across 8 organisations throughout the proof-of-concept, co-design and implementation process.
WLA standardised over 100 existing and varying processes into 4 clearly defined pathways and one set of principles for the choice policy.
WLA implemented a new virtual operating model, targeting 50% of all complex patient discharges across 4 hospital sites and 3 local authorities.
WLA implemented a clear governance process to ensure rapid decision making.
WLA trained over 100 staff who work in hospital discharge, in six training sessions, and 9 staff in the local Learning and Development teams, in a 'train the trainer' session, in order to focus on the behaviours needed to make the new model a success.
The WLA approach is based around 6 core methodological principles of 'whole-system' organisational change which have been co-developed with NHS, local authority, academic and consulting partners. These principles are weaved into the change management approach and they demonstrably deliver value to the patients:
Enable and empower citizens and frontline professionals to take a leading role in organisational and system change.
Work jointly to understand, interpret and adapt new models of care to the locality – rather than just accepting them as 'the solution'.
Work on the principle of evolution rather than pure innovation – changing the small things quickly, to create areas that are 'change-ready'.
Create a local dialogue around disruption over continuity – conversations about how change is going to be managed, rather than whether it will occur.
Focus on the one to three year time frame – not just the next six months or five year forward view.
Develop genuine support networks and 'safe spaces' between peers on the same journey – across organisational and geographical divides.
The WLA change Programme Team operates a permanent, multi-disciplinary consulting team focused on enabling health and care transformation. For this project, we deployed:
Front line staff from a range of professions (social workers, nurses, therapists, …), team managers and leaders from the hospital discharge teams.
Senior consultants and analysts with core expertise in process mapping, data analytics, pathway design, project and change management.
Experts in health and social care commissioning and provision.
Senior facilitators, trainers, and learning and development specialists.
The Programme Team established a true partnership with all stakeholders within the WLA, managing the complexity of liaising with stakeholders across several organisational boundaries (LA, NHS, commissioners), across professional boundaries (clinicians, managers, leaders), as well as across seniority levels (front line staff through to chief executives). Getting the right answers was not enough: it was crucial that each organisation was bought into these answers and owned them.
Outcomes to date include: 89% of NHS and 79% of Local Authority staff believe the pilot has been effective in improving the patient/carer experience with discharge – a 63-68% improvement on Friends and Family Tests on two wards.
89% of NHS ward staff and 79% ASC staff believes the new model and approach has significantly improved the overall discharge process.
63% of NHS staff believe the pilot has reduced the LOS of patient
Approximately 5-10% decrease in referrals into higher levels of care (e.g. increase in home care support, reablement, placements).
DToC Figures for Three Boroughs patients at Charing Cross (the Three Boroughs integrated team launched in March 16), shows almost a halving of DToC from the previous year: Total 2015=124, total 2016=67.
In terms of financial benefits of the project, it is estimated that:
A reduction in DToC will yield £963,208 of savings.
A reduction in unnecessary readmissions will yield £1.1m of savings.
In terms of improved quality of care, the CQC Adult Inpatient Survey shows that patients in Chelsea and Westminster Hospitals:
Were more involved in their discharge decisions in 2015, compared to 2014.
Were given more notice about their discharge destination in 2015, compared to 2014.
Had their family/home situation taken more into account, during discharge planning, in 2015, compared to 2014.
The WLA worked in partnership with:
Central London CCG.
Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust.
Chelsea & Westminster NHS Foundation Trust (CWH).
Westminster City Council (WCC).
Hammersmith & Fulham CCG.
Imperial Healthcare NHS Trust.
London Borough of Brent.
London Borough of Ealing.
London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham (LBHF).
London North West Healthcare NHS Trust.
Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea (RBKC).
West London CCG.
PPL.
The model is now being developed for nationwide application, across NHS and local authority services.
This initiative will also be relevant to neighbouring LAs, whose residents attend out of borough hospitals. These include the local authorities of Harrow, Hillingdon and Hounslow, and the Royal Free Hospital NHS FT: contact has already been made with them to explore the extent to which they could join the hosted model.
The new hospital discharge processes require all staff to be able to work and communicate effectively across organisational and professional boundaries, to handle conflict constructively, to feel confident to challenge colleagues and to build positive relationships.
We spoke to staff from all organisations involved and from a range of professional groups to discuss what they needed to feel confident in the new ways of working. Staff said that as well as technical information on the new processes, they wanted to focus on the behaviours needed to make the new model a success.
WLA trained over 100 staff who work in hospital discharge, across 6 training sessions, and 9 staff in the local Learning and Development team in a 'train the trainer' session. The resulting model for improving hospital discharge is not only being adopted across NWL, but feeding into New Models of Care work across England as a whole.

Q: No default binding for component instance "d0 : or2". # (Component port "out1" is not on the entity.) I am trying to build an xor gate in VHDL using structural code. I have built the same gate using other methods to compare the output using a testbench.
Here is the xor_structural.vhdl file. I built the and,or, and nand myself. I do not think they need to go in a separate file since it compiles just fine. The file and the test bench compile without issue but I can not run a simulation.
The test bench and other simulations work great, but when I try to run a simulation I get the following error.
I think there is something about the structural code that I am missing.

A: Your architecture for antivalenz_struktur has component declarations with "out1" as the name of the output but the entities have an output called "Y" in their port lists. You need to make the components match the entities since you are using traditional entity instantiation in that architecture.


Tim will fill the gaps since his last visit in the Autumn and focus on the incredibly intense final to 2018. Why was the end of the year so difficult for many Lightworkers and what were the end results.
Key dates – The Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox 2019.
The history of the Violet Flame from Atlantean times and how it was returned in 1987 during the Harmonic Convergence.
Visualizations for the Cosmic Diamond Violet Flame and the Lilac Fire of Source.
Since the Cosmic Moment in 2012 we have seen incredible changes in our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual selves. Most noticeable is the return of our twelve chakra system which is now expanding further due to the incredible quantities of light we are receiving. Tim will introduce these new changes with a talk and a visualization.
More than ever we are need to manage our energies and stay grounded. Quite often the old fashioned ways work the best!
At the start of the year we receive a solid quantity of Unicorn energy. Tim will call in the Unicorns to provide a blessing for everyone attending the workshop.
During Atlantean times the High Priests and Priests created several powerful pools of energy which we are benefiting from today … one being the Mahatma Energy and the other prominent one is Metatron's Ascension Pool which is located above the Great Pyramids of Giza (Egypt).
Today we will use our collective intention to create a new pool of energy that will be held in Uppsala and will be used worldwide.
Tim will focus on working with the Soul Star chakra and explain its purpose for our ascension process. Visualization for expanding the Soul Star and visiting the Halls of Amenti.
Every soul on the ascension pathway has chosen a specific pathway. This session will help you discover which one is on and what your true soul mission is. (Working in groups).
Time for discussion and reflection on what we found out during the pathway session.
and activating it within the crystal fields of the entire planet (using crystals).
Using a collection of powerful crystals we will create a grid within the center of the room for everyone to experience a healing session, using sound and intention.

North Carolina boy dies in tragic accident
On behalf of Woody White Law PLLC | Nov 13, 2012 | Fatal Motor Vehicle Accidents |
Drivers on the road have a duty of reasonable care for others, whether they are other drivers or pedestrians. When someone fails to adhere to traffic laws, tragic consequences can result. A young North Carolina boy died recently after trying to get on his school bus. The accident occurred when he was struck by a vehicle while attempting to cross the street. The child was a seventh grader at a local middle school.
The man authorities believe is responsible for the accident is now facing criminal charges. The 43-year-old has been charged with driving without a license and for felony death by motor vehicle. Neither he, nor anyone else in the van he was driving was injured in the accident.
No other students that were on the bus at the time sustained any injuries. Details of the accident are sketchy. It is unknown whether the man drove around the bus or struck the victim because he failed to stop on the opposite side of the road.
Any time an accident like this occurs, it is understandably heartbreaking for the family members. Although it may not be their focus right now, they likely have legal options available to them. When negligence causes a loved one's death, legal action in the form of a wrongful death suit can be commenced against the party deemed responsible. Although the van driver is facing criminal charges, he can be held separately liable in a North Carolina civil court based upon proof of negligence that proximately caused the fatality. While this won't change the outcome of the loss of the family's son, a successful claim could add an additional measure of justice against the person who they believe wronged them.

A: VectorAssembler accepts only numeric columns. Other type of columns have to be encoded first. And considering that you apply LinearRegression data has to be encoded anyway.
Exact steps will depend on the domain specific knowledge:

*

*If you expect linear trend based on time cast field to numeric first.

*If you expect some type of seasonal effects you might have to extract individual components (day of week, hour / time of day, month and so on), and typically apply StringIndexer + `OneHotEncoder.

A Donor Biography: He Who Ages Backwards
In 2019, I was managing an IV Infusion MedSpa in Wilmington, NC where I met a man who spent his life changing the world and quickly became a friend. He was exceptionally tall and surprisingly fit, with a bold smile that he gave to everyone he saw and stories that carried on forever. He came in to try the IV therapy in light of his commitment to a healthy lifestyle, vitamins, exercise, a good diet, and his other means for withstanding immense pressure, stress, and anxiety that he endured through his life.
He said hello to everyone in his path and inquired about their lives, education, families, hometowns, work experiences, children, ambitions, and objectives. During his stranger discussions, he would mention his own connections to nursing or business, and whichever current events were happening. The more I listened to his conversations, I learned that he traveled the world, built a business the largest in his niche on the planet, owned massive amounts of ocean front property, had written 11 books, it never ended.
HOW RETIREMENT KILLS
After some time in the MedSpa month after month, he began talking about an illness he faced a year prior to joining. While he was a successful workaholic, he saw work coming to an end and admitted that he did not intellectually or emotionally prepare for that. With all of the money he could ever need and then some, plus international recognitions, he could do whatever he wanted… except for the work he loved so much and devoted his life to. As retirement slowly approached, illness manifested through significant weight gain of up to 120 lbs, loss of appetite, indifferent about life, ultimately coming to the moment he was found unconscious in his home the day after Christmas.
A friend found him there and rushed him to a hospital, where they gave an immediate diagnosis of a heart attack. Ultimately, my friend deprived himself of the nutrients we all need to survive to the point of disaster. Eleven days in the hospital was spent rebuilding his internal systems, significant weight loss through a normalized diet, and he was discharged with support from occupational therapy, psychological counseling, and a registered dietitian. He explained that he could hardly walk and with hospital recovery options not available, he stayed at a hotel.
Now medically healthy, he was confronted by the world without a plan and unknowingly what to do next. He knew he wanted to live, he had one son living an entire country away from him and a business negotiated to sell by the time he was 70 years old. He had been so used to the active business lifestyle, working with professionals in his business every day, and he told me that he would cringe when people suggested that he "get a hobby" because he never had one.
As the "what to do" was and is still materializing, he focused on his health. Off and on, he took advantage of personal training. His driver's license expired, and he needed to re-take the driver's test, which he failed. Failure in the driver's test resulted in his first visit to a chiropractor who diagnosed him with an arthritic neck. Over six weeks, the Doctor loosened his neck and resulted in helping him pass his driver's test. Now he was down 120 lbs., had minimal strength, and was being regularly monitored by a physician for special medication.
FORMING UNDER PRESSURE
He shared with me that anxiety plagued most of his life: His father died when he was four years old, his mother never re-married and relied on him for help and perspective – thus meaning he had to grow up rather quickly. He did not come from a wealthy family; his mother was a nurse and a midwife war bride from Australia. At 11 years old, he has a memory of his mother asking for his advice on signing the mortgage for a new home. At the age of nine he started his first business, went on to become the President of his High School Senior Class, then in college was elected three times to the highest student role on campus being selected for National Student Leadership and eventually as the Student Head of an international student program based in Paris, France. During the Vietnam War, he joined the Army Reserves and was selected as Squad Leader which made him responsible for 12 other trainees.
When college came to an end, he pursued a graduate degree and became the Dean of Students by the age of 21 at a small college, then quickly promoted at age 22 to the colleges Vice President and COO. He went on to graduate from law school as Executive Editor of the Law Journal and chose not to formally practice law to return to higher education as Vice President of a regional University by age 29.
Three years later, age 32 now, he was selected as Executive Vice President of a large university and given the responsibility to lay the groundwork for moving the institution to becoming one of a select number of major Urban Research Universities in America. Overseeing hundreds of employees, thousands of students, the athletic department, tens of thousands of alumni all watching, commenting, criticizing, or praising his every move. It is possible that this man became the most recognized university figure in the city in addition to the highest President – both overseeing hundreds of millions of dollars and vital employees in that community.
His success led to him starting his own business and leaving the security of a state university for the risk and opportunity within private enterprise. The business grew rapidly into a multi-state imprint, a regional force, then had a national presence, and turned into worldwide impact. This man became responsible for hundreds of employees and their family members, and thus felt the weight of the world on his shoulders.
RE-GAINING BELONGING
He once told me about a meeting in Texas where he asked the CEO of a chicken processing plant, which had 535 employees, what it was like to run a business with so many employees. The CEO's answer surprised him, "Every morning, I wake up knowing that I am responsible for 535 employees who have family numbers into the thousands. That, my leadership, is responsible for providing each of them the opportunity for a job." My friend said that this reflection from a stranger gave him back his own sense of responsibility. The CEO had zero complaints in his voice, but acknowledgement that he was making a fortune only so that his employees could also make a good living and be given opportunities. I found this to be an interesting presentation of business ownership.
NOW AGING BACKWARDS
While this man was regaining his strength and self-worth over the years, he would reflect on that conversation amongst others. He began to walk every single day between 12,000 and 20,000 steps, read about holistic medicine and me questions about the effectiveness of this treatment versus that treatment (as a manager of a holistic practice), and he would get dressed up every day in a suit or sport coat as if he was still managing a university. So, as I know him, he talks to everyone in his path but not in an intrusive way, kindly with humor and appreciation. He worked with his personal trainer down the street from the MedSpa and would tell me about the workouts and how much progress he was making.
He lived in a beautiful home, but during the pandemic of Coronavirus, he could no longer join a local service club that would've given him the opportunity to meet new people and make friends, so he moved back to his hometown where his former company was headquartered states away. Of course, with the pandemic, there are a multitude of excuses not to talk to people, invite people out, engage in sports or recreation, but every day my friend now has lunch planned with a former client, friend, new acquaintance, his trainer, doctor, eye doctor, chiropractor, or IV Infusion therapist… you name it.
As a result of making gifts of over $50,000,000 to his professions training and education, he also now monitors programs at three universities in the United States and United Kingdom. He leads a small Think Tank working on issues facing the philanthropic profession, has a small client base for life coaching, and began a small web based high-end watch buy-and-sell business.
However, he tells me that all of these events and work today take a back seat when it comes to his health – the largest priority in his life now. Fortunately, his illness from years ago is not seen as a negative anymore. His perspective grew to be positive and resilient. Most recently, he was evaluated during a health screening and was given his new metabolic age of 47 years old.
My friend's name is Bob, and he is 73.

Cher says she's never disliked anyone in her life as much as 'vindictive' Trump
Singer Cher has revealed her hatred for President Donald Trump in an interview with The Guardian. The pop star icon, who turned 74 this year, has been an outspoken critic of President Trump and even recorded a song for Joe Biden's presidential campaign, 'Happiness Is Just a Thing Called Joe'.
Asked how Trump had changed the culture of America, Cher replied: "It's toxic. People who just disagreed with each other before are now enemies. I hate to even call him a president because all he does is watch TV."
"I said if Trump can't be in the White House, he's going to burn it down," the singer added. "He's trying to block Joe at every moment. He's the most vindictive person I've ever witnessed. I think he's fighting so hard because he's going to be prosecuted when he gets out of the White House."
Asked if Trump could end up in prison, Cher replied: "Oh, I hope so. I'll be dancing around."
"I hate him," she added when asked if she had ever hated anybody like this before. "No, in my whole life, never. I pretty much disliked Bush when he started those wars, and I could say for a minute it was touch and go for hate. But the one thing I know is he loves America and Trump doesn't."
The conversation then turned to the singer's animal conservation efforts, with Cher slamming Trump for ignoring the threat of climate change.
"I live in a particularly beautiful spot, but the fires are just killing us. A fire came right up my house and burned the side of it. I was so lucky," she said. "It's climate change. And he wouldn't give us any money for it. He hates us. He hates California. He doesn't have one drop of goodness in him."
Trump has a long history of denying climate change, claiming that it is a hoax perpetrated by China. "The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive," Trump claimed in 2012.
As president, Trump made the controversial decision to pull the United States out of the Paris Climate Agreement.
"I'm not denying climate change. But it could very well go back. You know, we're talking about over a millions of years. They say that we had hurricanes that were far worse than what we just had with Michael," Trump claimed in 2018.
The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 6, 2012
Cher also slammed Trump while discussing the transition of her son, Chaz Bono.
"We've gone backward 20 years," Cher said. "We were making great progress and now all these conservative people don't want black people voting, they don't want Latino people voting. They don't want trans people here. They want to go back to the 50s; antebellum days, if they could."
Last year, the Supreme Court allowed Trump's ban on transgender people serving in the military to be enforced even as it faced numerous legal disputes. Trump claimed that the ban was based on financial reasons and not prejudice against people who are transgender. Under President Obama, the US government began paying for the medical costs of transgender service members. However, this spending made up a tiny fraction of total health spending by the military.

Q: Spring Boot REST custom request parameters mapping for complex abstract entity I'm working on REST API for the application using SpringBoot 2 and I want to get a specific object as my request parameter. Assuming I have my endpoint declared like this:
@RestController("TestEndpoint")
@RequestMapping(path = "/", produces = MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
public class TestEndpoint {

    @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET, value = "/test")
    String getTest(MyWeirdRequest myRequest) {
        return myRequest.toString();
    }
}

where MyWeirdRequest looks like this:
public class MyWeirdRequest {
    private Map<String, String> startWithOne;
    private Map<String, String> anythingElse;

    // setters and getters here
}

and my GET request would look like this example:
http://localost:8088/test?first=aaa&second=1bbb&third=1ccc&fourth=2ddd

List of parameters is not defined anywhere and so they can contain any keys.
I want my endpoint to get MyWeirdRequest object where all the params with value starting with 1 to be in startWithOne map and the rest of params to be in anythingElse where key is request parameter name. So in case of request above I want the result where my endpoint receives a MyWeirdRequest containing
startWithOne=[second:1bbb, third:1ccc]
anythingElse=[first:aaa, fourth:2ddd]

I know I could use a Map as a getTest param and then do all the mapping inside this method, but MyWeirdRequest will be used as a param for multiple endpoints and I want to avoid working with Maps directly everywhere.
I tried to create a custom PropertyEditor and register it in WebDataBinder, but it is only used if there is a @Requestparam annotation, but if I add it to getTest method - a parameter named myRequest becomes mandatory.
How do I handle the request like that?

A: So I figured out that in case you need to parse request parameters as I needed - you should implement HandlerMethodArgumentResolver. It provides the ability to access a lot of different request data. In my case it could look like this (initially I've forgot that request parameters may contain arrays of values, so MyWeirdRequest field types were changed to Map<String, String[]>):
    public class TestArgumentResolver implements HandlerMethodArgumentResolver {

    @Override
    public boolean supportsParameter(MethodParameter parameter) {
        return parameter.getParameterType().equals(MyWeirdRequest.class);
    }

    @Override
    public Object resolveArgument(MethodParameter parameter, ModelAndViewContainer mavContainer, NativeWebRequest webRequest,
                                  WebDataBinderFactory binderFactory)
            throws Exception {
        MyWeirdRequest result = new MyWeirdRequest();
        Map<String, String[]> startsWithOne = new HashMap<>();
        Map<String, String[]> anythingElse = new HashMap<>();
        for (Map.Entry<String, String[]> paramEntry : webRequest.getParameterMap().entrySet()) {
            String[] swoValues = Arrays.stream(paramEntry.getValue()).filter(v -> v.startsWith("1"))
                    .collect(Collectors.toList()).toArray(new String[0]);
            if (swoValues.length > 0) {
                startsWithOne.put(paramEntry.getKey(), swoValues);
            }

            String[] aeValues = Arrays.stream(paramEntry.getValue()).filter(v -> !v.startsWith("1"))
                    .collect(Collectors.toList()).toArray(new String[0]);
            if (aeValues.length > 0) {
                anythingElse.put(paramEntry.getKey(), aeValues);
            }
        }
        result.setStartWithOne(startsWithOne);
        result.setAnythingElse(anythingElse);
        return result;
    }

}

After that, I created a configuration to register my request resolver:
@Configuration
public class TestRequestConfiguration implements WebMvcConfigurer {

    @Override
    public void addArgumentResolvers(List<HandlerMethodArgumentResolver> argumentResolvers) {
        argumentResolvers.add(new TestArgumentResolver());
    }

}

And that's pretty much it!
