A federal tally of assistance to the poor missed 40% of food-stamp recipients in New York state.
Here's good news for policy makers—on the right and left—concerned about poverty in the United States. A new study by economists Bruce Meyer of the University of Chicago and Nikolas Mittag of Charles University shows that public-assistance programs are far more effective in alleviating poverty than many government statistics suggest.
The problem lies in the way the U.S. Census Bureau measures poverty. According to the bureau's website, the government's "official poverty definition uses money income before taxes and does not include capital gains or noncash benefits (such as public housing, Medicaid, and food stamps)." This has long been known to underestimate income sources and material well-being in low-income households.
In 2011 experts working with the Census Bureau developed a new metric, the Supplemental Poverty Measure, to better measure the effects of government-assistance programs and tax policies on families. But the Meyer-Mittag study, published last month through the American Enterprise Institute, found a serious flaw common to both measures: reliance on a government survey of income that vastly understates the government assistance flowing to poor households.
In New York state, the sole focus of the study, the CPS data missed a third of housing-assistance recipients, 40% of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients (food stamps), and 60% of those who received cash assistance through Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) or General Assistance (New York state's cash assistance program).
Among those who did report receiving benefits, the CPS underreported the average value of those benefits by 6% for SNAP, 40% for cash, and 74% for housing assistance. Remember, this is a primary survey on which the government bases much of its information about progress in reducing poverty.

Tim Draxl (NSW) on travel, Molly, and his new stage show Once Upon Another Time.
February 18, 2016 / Mallory Arbour
Tim Draxl has been enchanting audiences both onscreen, for his roles in A Few Best Men, Swimming Upstream, A Place To Call Home and the new tele-movie, Molly – as well as on stage, with his one man shows, Freeway – The Chet Baker Journey and Cabaret, since the tender age of 16. Now at 34, he returns to the stage with his new show Once Upon Another Time.
You recently returned from America – what were you doing over there?
I try and go over once or twice a year. I have a green card, so I have to keep it active and I have lots of friends over there, because I used to live in (Los Angeles) – I lived in LA for seven years. I went to LA for a couple of days, then Aspen, then New York and then back again. It was a bit of a quick trip. I was only gone for two weeks, but it was good fun.
What is it about traveling that you enjoy so much?
I was born in Sydney but I grew up in Jindabyne – it's in the Snowy Mountains (South-East, New South Wales). I lived half the year in Australia and the other half I lived in Austria, because my dad is Austrian. We used to follow the winter back and forth because my family was in the ski industry. I think it was because of that, as a child, we only stayed put for six months and [then] packed up and left. I get like this feeling every once in a while where I just need to get out, away – I reckon it's partly to do with my childhood that I love to travel so much.
I like to move around. I don't like to stay put for too long. I think lately, certainly over the last couple of years, I've had a real hunger for experiencing different cultures; even just travelling by myself it broadens your mind, you meet some really interesting people and there's so many incredible places in this world that I don't think you could ever see in one lifetime. I love being somewhere different, somewhere new that I don't know.
Part of growing I think, as humans, is putting yourself into situations where you're not in control, or where you're out of your comfort. I used to travel a lot where I was very comfortable and I still do to some extent, but I really try to put myself into situations where I am out of my comfort zone. I just love it. You just get that buzz, that feeling.
Does Australia still feel like home?
Yeah, absolutely. Even when I was living in LA, every time I came back to Sydney it always felt like home. I always love coming back here. No matter how much I wanna leave, every time I leave I always love coming back. It's an amazing city that we have. It's a pretty special place.
You're back in Australia for your new show, Once Upon Another Time, named after the song by Sara Bareilles. Why were you so inspired by the song, and does it sum up the whole theme or idea of the show?
Yeah, in some ways absolutely. I actually heard it in a yoga class the first time, and it was during Shavasana, at the end, where you're laying in darkness, and the teacher played this song, and there was something about the lyric and having my eyes closed that inspired all kinds of memories. If you listen to the lyrics there is beautiful kind of imagery of vast space, so it spoke to me on different levels: a) travel-wise b) memory-wise.
I love creating new memories, but I have really beautiful family memories and different experiences, so it evoked my childhood a little bit. But then there's also this lovely sense of what's yet to be and being in the right place at the right time, and everything happens the way that it's meant to happen, and it gave me this lovely sense of security, almost.
I wanted to start the show with that because it kind of sets the tone for the rest of it. Because I do go into some stuff from recent travels, from past travels, childhood memories and then also the kind of imaginative side of myself. If you interpret the title of the song of "Once Upon Another Time", imagining what could be if you lived again and had a chance to do it over.
Take me through the process of what starting a new show like this is like.
It's really quite agonising for me, because I'm the most indecisive person that you'll ever meet in your life! Once I've made up my mind about something then I stick to it, but it takes me a long time to arrive at a decision – certainly where song choices come into it.
On one level, it's actually very organic because I collect songs all the time. If I'm out somewhere and I hear a song, or I'm at a performance and someone sings a song, or I hear anything anywhere, I have this long list in my phone of songs to look over and use as possible material for shows. So I start with that – and it really depends on what kind of head space I'm in and what I feel like kind of saying or the message that I want to put in the show. But it is quite laborious.
What's the preparation like for you now with the show only days away?
This is kind of the fun part. I mean, it's all fun but it is work. I've started rehearsals with my musical director, Daniel Evans. Some of this material I've sung before. Daniel was the musical director on Strictly Ballroom and King Kong, so working with Daniel is a new experience. We've never worked together before, and this is the kind of collaborative stage where we go into a rehearsal room and play through the songs. It happens naturally, because you're working with someone differently, and he plays things differently than my last musical director, and you discover new things about the songs, and he will suggest doing this – It's a very collaborative process at this stage. It's a lot of fun to rediscover music and also discover things that you haven't kind of picked up on before.
In terms of song choice, you're tackling some beloved favourites. I hope I'm right in saying this, but songs like this is usually more about that raw emotion of the lyrics, more so than hitting all the notes perfectly.
Ever since I started singing, I don't consider myself a very gifted singer. I think I have a nice voice but I'm not an amazing singer, if you know what I mean? What I have always had is an ability to tell a story, and to be truthful about what the song or the lyric means to me. I'm very honest about displaying that in front of people. You're right, it's not about the song being perfect because I can't do that. My voice is more of a crooner and I like to convey the message and tell a story.
It's more about keeping everything simple, right?
Exactly. It's very simple, it's pared back and that's the way I like it. That's what I've always loved about cabaret and what I think gets lost in a lot of cabaret these days and why cabaret has got a bit of a bad rep in a sense. A lot of people think about cabaret and they think that it's really cheesy and over the top. Cabaret to me, is the most pure kind of medium for singing a song and telling a personal story because it is just you and a spotlight and there are no theatrics – just you and putting yourself into the music and being honest.
It was a music teacher from high school, and I remember the lesson so well. She was helping me rehearse a song for one of our performances nights or something, and I was singing a song and she said to me, "Think of somebody. Think of someone that you want to sing this song to and don't be scared to be honest with the audience". I remember that lesson so vividly, it's always stuck with me and it stayed with me.
In comparison, what do you think about the music of today?
I think there's some amazing music today. I'm actually singing a version of a Sam Smith song in the show. The "Once Upon Another Time" song only came out last year or something. There are still some beautiful music being written today. I tend to be drawn to the jazz-kinda standards and those beautiful old classics. There's something melodically and certainly lyrically that speaks to me somehow. I've always connected with that.
I connect to music. Anything that has heart to it. Anything that has some kind of soul. Even if it's just a song for the sake of getting your groove on and it being a happy moment, there's some awesome music and with all my travels and everything I'm constantly listening to music. It becomes such a part of your life and a very important, integral part, I think.
Will you be releasing Once Upon Another Time on CD?
It's funny that you should say that, because we've actually just started conversations about recording an album. That is a very real possibility, yes.
You've done music, acting and theatre – do you find that a lot of people only know you from one of the three?
Yeah, absolutely. Which is funny to me because, I mean I started as a singer and then moved into acting, so I guess it's not that strange that people only know me from one or the other. But certainly when I'm around other actors or when I'm on a film set or something, people always are surprised to find out that I'm a singer as well. Which is kind of nice, (to) have that element of surprise. There's another string to your bow that people didn't know you had. But, generally people do know me from one or the other.
You're currently in the tele-movie, Molly, about the life of Molly Meldrum, that's on television at the moment. What was your experience like being a part of that show?
It was awesome. It was funny, when they offered me the job, I really didn't know that much about Molly. My knowledge of Molly was from Hey Hey, It's Saturday and that's just a purely generational thing. Once I got involved with the project, the importance of Molly and what he has done for the Australian music industry is unbelievable.
He (has) lived such an incredible life and (was) such an influential person for so many different music careers. Not just Australian, globally as well. It was just a really lovely group of people. It was a lovely place to go to work everyday – the kind of place that you look forward to going to. Really great experience and really can't wait to see next week's episode.
I think with everything that has happened to Molly lately, no matter what generation you're from, everyone seems to feel this heartfelt connection to him.
Yeah, it's quite amazing and also evident in the ratings. I think the ratings last Sunday were like 2.6 million people or something – which is massive! For Australia, that is unheard of. I think Australia is actually really proud of him and they do have this kind of connection with him. Which is really lovely to see.
So apart from Molly, what else can we expect to see you doing this year?
There's a couple of things on the ball but nothing I can sort of talk about just yet. I'm doing the show Thursday, and then I start shooting season four of A Place To Call Home the week after. I just got the first two scripts last night actually and I'm really excited. We're not finished (shooting) until the end of June/July. It's a long shoot because season three was the number one rating show on pay TV, so we're doing more episodes basically. It's nice to be on a show that's doing well.

http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | Every night around 11 o'clock my wife reluctantly relinquishes the remote control so that I can select the local newscast we will watch. The scene is familiar to millions of people for whom the TV remote can sometimes cause marital friction and spark a battle for the power to determine what others watch.
On Tuesday, the Senate Commerce Committee held a hearing to discuss whether there is too much violence on cable and satellite TV and what to do about it. The issue of TV violence is the baby of Kevin J. Martin, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, who was scheduled to testify, but canceled at the last minute for family reasons. Martin thinks there is too much violence on subscription TV. The hearings went ahead without him as others testified for and against his proposal for federal regulation, which would make the point of the remote moot, as consumers could no longer control their entertainment choices.
In testimony before the Senate Commerce Committee, an FCC representative was joined by at least one other commission member, one network executive and an advocacy group representative in support of legislation that would allow cable and satellite TV subscribers to select their programs "a la carte," meaning consumers could choose the networks they want to come into their homes and reject others. This cafeteria approach might sound good at first glance, but suppose someone didn't want to see the violence in Fox TV's "24," but did wish to see the violence of NFL football? Since Fox carries both, consumers who rejected Fox because of "24," would not be able to watch NFL football.
Not only is this a bad business model in that cable and satellite TV make money by telling advertisers they can reach a certain number of homes, it also takes away the privileges and responsibilities of individuals to make these decisions. I don't want — and you shouldn't either — any government official or bureaucrat deciding which cable shows are good for me, and which ones are not.
Much of this "I'm from the government and I'm here to help you" attitude derives from the supposed negative impact such programs have on children, but Census figures show that only one-third of American households have children 18 or under. Chairman Martin favors regulating all households to accommodate this relatively small percentage.
It might be worth it if other avenues were not available to parents to control what their children watch, but those avenues exist in abundance. Parents can turn off, or even get rid of the TV; they can make use of the V-chip, now a part of all newer TV sets; they don't have to subscribe to cable or satellite TV; they can make use of the imperfect ratings system or they can monitor what their children watch.
It amazes me that some conservatives who preach against "big government" control of our lives think nothing of rushing in to ask big government to control our entertainment choices.
The a la carte approach is the worst of all worlds. Fox News could not have been launched in an a la carte environment, which might be good news for liberals, but bad news for those who wish to have another perspective on the news than what they got before Fox was born a decade ago. What about religious programming? Would conservative Christians, for example, wish to allow people to block all Christian programs when the opportunity to reach nonbelievers is a strong motivator for the people who produce them?
One expects government regulation and control during a Democratic administration, but a Republican administration is supposed to be dedicated to the free market. The FCC's own study shows that in an ideal a la carte world, consumers would get 20 channels, but would pay the same price as today's 150 channels. Only those who don't mind buying one egg and paying for a dozen would be comfortable with such a deal.
Those on the right who favor this proposed regulation had better think of the consequences. If the FCC and not the market control your entertainment choices, would a Democratic president and his (or her) appointees to the FCC feel emboldened to control the political dialogue? They surely would cite the entertainment regulations as precedent for coming after talk radio and anything else they deemed "harmful" to the public.
Don't let them take your remote, because you won't get it back.

Normale è un singolo della cantautrice italiana Giorgia, pubblicato il 4 novembre 2022 come primo estratto dall'undicesimo album in studio Blu.

Antefatti

Dopo la pubblicazione del decimo album in studio Oronero del 2016, Giorgia ha preso una pausa dalla discografia, ad eccezione dell'album di cover Pop Heart del 2018. Nel 2022 Giorgia torna a cantare nella collaborazione Parentesi di Mara Sattei, estratto dal primo album in studio di Sattei Universo, e nel brano Luglio presente nell'album Ritorno al futuro/Back to the Future di Elisa, partecipando inoltre all'Heroes Festival a Verona di quest'ultima. Successivamente la cantante si esibisce alla manifestazione Una. Nessuna. Centomila, contro la violenza sulle donne, e all'evento promosso dal Corriere della Sera Il tempo delle donne, in cui presenta il brano inedito Tornerai, scritto da Francesca Michielin e Ghemon.

Descrizione
Il brano è stato scritto da Mahmood, Dario Faini, Mario Marco Gianclaudio Fracchiolla e Massimiliano Dagani, con la composizione musicale di Dario Faini e Big Fish.

Promozione
Il 21 ottobre 2022 Giorgia pubblica nei propri social network una serie di videoclip in cui si pone delle domande riguardo al significato del termine «normale» sia nella società che a livello personale. La cantante ha dichiarato:Il 4 novembre 2022, in concomitanza alla pubblicazione del singolo, viene reso disponibile attraverso il canale YouTube della cantante il cortometraggio Normale con Giorgia, diretto da Rocco Papaleo e filmato a Roma, comprendente i precedenti video pubblicati.

Accoglienza
Alessandro Alicandri, recensendo il brano per TV Sorrisi e Canzoni, constata nel brano
«l'identità contemporanea» della cantante, che interpreta «un brano particolarissimo nelle suggestioni» dal ritornello
«potente e ricercato». Il giornalista si sofferma sugli autori, scrivendo che la produzione risulti «poderosa» mentre il testo sia «introspettivo e conflittuale», in cui un flusso di coscienza che conduce a interpretare la normalità come «estremamente soggettiva, talvolta inaccettabile, di certo multiforme».

Gabriele Antonucci della rivista Panorama trova il singolo «in perfetto equilibrio tra pop italiano e urban internazionale», il quale riflettere «sull'accettazione di se stessi e sulle difficoltà nel relazionarsi con le aspettative degli altri».

Fabio Fiume di All Music Italia assegna al brano un punteggio di 7,5 su 10, riscontrando che la scelta di associare le doti vocali della cantante alla musica elettronica «non risparmia la voce eppure, non impedisce alla stessa di primeggiare». Fiume trova inoltre che «la totale assenza strumentale la canzone arriva piena nell'arrangiamento». Anche Mattia Marzi di Rockol lo definisce tra suoni elettronici e sintetizzatori, in cui la scelta musicale risulta «sperimentale e classica allo stesso tempo», definendo l'interpretazione di Giorgia «elegante».

Anton Peitersen and Gernot Seeliger) / Geerten Verheus
26. November 2021 – 12. Februar 2022
Thu - Fri 12pm - 7pm, Sat 12pm - 6pm and by appointment
Please note the current Corona rules!
Galerie Georg Nothelfer is pleased to announce four artist positions for experimental large-scale installations.
For the duration of the exhibition, the artist collective Pegasus Product (Dargelos Kersten, Anton Peitersen and Gernot Seeliger) will transform part of the gallery into a massage parlor with a waiting room in front. Under the title Taxes & Tantra (2021), however, visitors can not only get a massage, but also tax advice at the same time, thus combining the beautiful with the useful. To be beautiful and useful is an expectation commonly placed on design objects, on perfectly formed furniture with proper names, original flower vases, or on lamps that not only provide light but are also meant to be an expression of a creative idea. Their functionality distinguishes these objects from the supposed "disinterestedness" of art. However, the fact that the two spheres cannot be separated crystal-clearly was already demonstrated by documenta III in 1964, which devoted a separate section to industrial design. Among the exhibits was the then relatively new lounge chair by Charles and Ray Eames, which has long since become a widely copied design icon. As the "Unbequeames lounge" it can also be found in the waiting room of the massage studio. Like all of Taxes & Tantra's other furnishings, it is assembled from recycled chipboard, metal parts, and other relics of the bourgeois "curated home," in which the processes of exchange between art and design, symbolic and practical value, have been set into lurching motion.
In the opposite room, there is also a piece of furniture with a history: when unfolded, Carola Ernst's box-shaped structure functions both as a secretary and as a cabinet. Photographs of her previous works are fixed to the fabric-covered side wings, and a chair invites us to read the work information provided. As a cabinet, the furniture refers to collecting as a cultural practice and is as mobile as writing furniture was in its early days, when it was taken on trips. The object is also flexible in its content, as the constellations of images can always be reassembled. They identify it as a highly subjective pictorial atlas along the lines of Aby Warburg's, in which motifs from art history and cultural history enter into dialogue with one another across the epochs. The far-reaching title of the work - There was an eye in a bight/ That traveled much faster than light / It departed one day, / In a relative way, / And arrived on the previous night (ongoing since 2009) - reworks a famous limerick by the British natural scientist A.H. Reginald Buller from the 1920s - the decade of the Picture Atlas. The latter humorously alluded to the then still young physics of Albert Einstein and his revolutionary conception of the space-time relationship: Space and time are not absolute quantities, but relative. Instead of Buller's young woman, however, Carola Ernst's eye travels through space and time, from the present to the past, and on its journey establishes new connections between images and works.
Geerten Verheus's 210-cm work GROßES GEGENTEIL (2021), which hangs from the ceiling, resembles a crystal chandelier stretched out in length. Instead of dozens of sparkling glass stones, however, an impenetrable black, bulbous rubber figure swells here into the gallery's central space. Its phallic associative potential is thwarted by the neon lamp that protrudes into its center from below and is swallowed by it. Its electric glow forces its way out of the narrow opening into the room and helps the object, as it were against its will, to fulfill its light-giving function. In Medium (1999-2018), the artist also plays a subversive game with the semantics of commercially available materials and the ways in which everyday objects are used. Its colorful PVC strip curtains otherwise serve as improvised threshold zones between inside and outside, private and public, work and home. Here, however, they refuse to mark such boundaries and access points: rather, in the rearmost gallery space, they take on a life of their own through their room-filling multiplication into a walk-in sculpture whose linear interplay of colors is reminiscent of the striped paintings of Color Field Painting. They virtually invert the immersive effect of the latter into the material reality of physical space, in which the thin PVC strips become an impenetrable labyrinth.
Jeongmoon Choi's spatial installations can also develop a tendency towards disorientation, yet they rely on a phenomenology of the immaterial that refers to virtual spaces and imaginary places. Even though they appear to be pure light architectures, they are based on black light and fluorescent fabric yarn that spans the space in concrete geometric figures, yet in some places ends abruptly and protrudes into the darkness of the room. The artist always orients herself closely to the found architectural situation, so that Drawing in Space - Folding Surface (2021) takes up the floor plan of a low chamber of the gallery space and translates it into a subtly interlaced web of light trails. In this graphic trace of light, which creates an 'immaterial' space in the room, lies an essential difference to the reduced installations with wool and acrylic threads or copper wires in Minimal Art and Neoconcretismo: in Jeongmoon Choi's installations, the real-physical space functions as an anchor point and yet is transgressed, expanded into the imaginary. Her volumetric light figures combine to form walk-in, immersive spatial images that turn one's own physical perception into a surprisingly ambiguous experience.

Q: How to dynamically wire up Repositories with custom DataSources? So I have a fairly standard Spring Boot application using JavaConfig and JPA to wire up services and repositories. However, one non-standard aspect of the application is a requirement to spin up isolated cloud databases on demand to keep client data separate for legal reasons.
I have a simple ClientService with some Repositories injected, and my goal is to create some sort of factory where I can request a version of this ClientService, specific to each client, that has a custom DataSource injected into all of the repositories. Spring Boot, which is normally wonderful for wiring things up, has made things more confusing because its hard to see whats going on behind the scenes.
What would be the best way to approach this? My first idea is a bean called ClientServiceFactory with a method getClientService(Client client). Its easy enough for me to create the custom DataSource for this client - the hard part is how I can return an instance of ClientService, with all of the other things automatically injected, but forcing all the repository beans to use this datasource. Naturally ClientService would no longer be a singleton, but instead I would store a map internally of Client > ClientService.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

A: I believe you would need to implement a Multi-tenant approach.
I blogged about this topic at: Multi-tenant applications using Spring Boot, JPA, Hibernate and Postgres
Basically this are the steps to configure the persistence layer for Multi-tenancy:

*

*Hibernate, JPA and datasources properties:

application.yml
...
multitenancy:
  dvdrental:
    dataSources:
      -
        tenantId: TENANT_01
        url: jdbc:postgresql://172.16.69.133:5432/db_dvdrental
        username: user_dvdrental
        password: changeit
        driverClassName: org.postgresql.Driver
      -
        tenantId: TENANT_02
        url: jdbc:postgresql://172.16.69.133:5532/db_dvdrental
        username: user_dvdrental
        password: changeit
        driverClassName: org.postgresql.Driver
...

MultiTenantJpaConfiguration.java
 ...
 @Configuration
 @EnableConfigurationProperties({ MultiTenantDvdRentalProperties.class, JpaProperties.class })
 @ImportResource(locations = { "classpath:applicationContent.xml" })
 @EnableTransactionManagement
 public class MultiTenantJpaConfiguration {

   @Autowired
   private JpaProperties jpaProperties;

   @Autowired
   private MultiTenantDvdRentalProperties multiTenantDvdRentalProperties;
 ...
 }

MultiTenantDvdRentalProperties.java
...
@Configuration
@ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "multitenancy.dvdrental")
public class MultiTenantDvdRentalProperties {

  private List<DataSourceProperties> dataSourcesProps;
  // Getters and Setters

  public static class DataSourceProperties extends org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.jdbc.DataSourceProperties {

    private String tenantId;
    // Getters and Setters
  }
}

*

*Datasources beans:

MultiTenantJpaConfiguration.java
 ...
 public class MultiTenantJpaConfiguration {
 ...
   @Bean(name = "dataSourcesDvdRental" )
   public Map<String, DataSource> dataSourcesDvdRental() {
       ...
   }
 ...
 }

*

*Entity manager factory bean:

MultiTenantJpaConfiguration.java
 ...
 public class MultiTenantJpaConfiguration {
 ...
   @Bean
   public MultiTenantConnectionProvider multiTenantConnectionProvider() {
       ...
   }

   @Bean
   public CurrentTenantIdentifierResolver currentTenantIdentifierResolver() {
       ...
   }

   @Bean
   public LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean entityManagerFactoryBean(MultiTenantConnectionProvider multiTenantConnectionProvider,
     CurrentTenantIdentifierResolver currentTenantIdentifierResolver) {
       ...
   }
 ...
 }

*

*Transaction manager bean:

MultiTenantJpaConfiguration.java
 ...
 public class MultiTenantJpaConfiguration {
 ...
   @Bean
   public EntityManagerFactory entityManagerFactory(LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean entityManagerFactoryBean) {
       ...
   }

   @Bean
   public PlatformTransactionManager txManager(EntityManagerFactory entityManagerFactory) {
       ...
   }
 ...
 }

*

*Spring Data JPA and transaction support configuration:

applicationContent.xml
...
<jpa:repositories base-package="com.asimio.dvdrental.dao" transaction-manager-ref="txManager" />
<tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="txManager" proxy-target-class="true" />
...

ActorDao.java
public interface ActorDao extends JpaRepository<Actor, Integer> {
}

Depending on your needs something like this could be done:
...
@Autowired
private ActorDao actorDao;
...

DvdRentalTenantContext.setTenantId("TENANT_01");
this.actorDao.findOne(...);
...

// Or
DvdRentalTenantContext.setTenantId("TENANT_02");
this.actorDao.save(...);
...

Setting the tenantId could be done in a servlet filter / Spring MVC interceptor / thread via ThreadLocal that is going to execute the JPA operation, etc.

A: You may not be able to achieve this direectly. Since the Repositories are tightly coupled with EntityManagers and EntityManagers are tightly coupled with Datasources, implies that Repositories are tightly coupled with Datasources. You may not be able to create repositories at spring boot up.
You can create multiple JPARepositorySets for Different Datasources at start time. Lets say you need a UserRepository. You have 2 datasources DS1, DS2.
You can create Two Entity Managers EM1, EM2 for both datasources.
public LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean em1() {
        LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean em = new LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean();
        em.setDataSource(ds1());
        em.setPackagesToScan(new String[] { "com.pkg1.entities.user" });
        return em;
    }

public LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean em2() {
        LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean em = new LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean();
        em.setDataSource(ds2());
        em.setPackagesToScan(new String[] { "com.pkg1.entities.user" });
        return em;
    }

At runtime depending on the client, your factory bean could create the repository for you, and return the repository as below.
public UserRepository getClientSpecificUserRepository(Client client){
    SimpleJpaRepository<User, Long> userRepository = null;
    if(client.name.equals("ABC")){
        userRepository = new SimpleJpaRepository<User, Serializable>(
    User.class, em1);
    } else (client.name.equals("ABC")){
        userRepository = new SimpleJpaRepository<User, Serializable>(
    User.class, em2);
    }
    return userRepository;
}

So ultimately create multiple EntityManagers for all your clients at context startup. And Factory returns the Repository bean at runtime depending on the client

Hugh O'Conor by birth or Hugo Oconór in Spanish, was a military governor of northern Mexico.  He was appointed governor of Texas by the Spanish viceroy of New Spain in 1767. It is recorded that O'Conor rode well over  on horseback in the course of conducting his duties. O'Conor was called "The Red Captain" by the Apache, both for the color of his hair and his formidable military leadership.

O'Conor was the founding father of the city of Tucson, Arizona, having authorized the construction of a military fort in that location in 1775. In 1777, O'Conor requested, due to his failing health, to be transferred to the Yucatan Peninsula, whereupon he was promoted to brigadier general and appointed Governor of Yucatan Peninsula. He served there until his death in 1779.

Biography
O'Conor was born in 1732 in Dublin, Ireland, into the Gaelic-Irish aristocratic O'Conor Don Family. He was a descendant of Toirdhealbhach Mór Ua Conchobhair, King of Connacht and High King of Ireland. Because of the Penal Laws which restricted the political, religious and commercial rights of Irish Catholics, O'Conor left his homeland and moved to Spain where his cousins Alexander (Alejandro) and Dominic O'Reilly, were serving as officers in the Spanish Royal Army. He was established in Aragon.

In his youth he joined the regiment of Volunteers of Aragon, eventually acquiring the title of major. During his years in the military, he was sent to Cuba and Mexico City. There he distinguished himself by his ability as a military strategist and was appointed captain for the Northern Territory to exercise dominion in the region.

He went to Texas to investigate a dispute around San Agustín de Ahumada Presidio between Governor Ángel de Martos y Navarrete and Rafael Martínez Pacheco (future governor of Texas). It was at this time that he obtained the title of inspector general of the Provincias Internas (general inspector of the Interior Provinces). Later, in 1767, he was appointed governor of Texas, in replacement of Martos y Navarrete. When he took office, he found that one of its major cities, San Antonio, was shattered by frequent attacks of several Indian tribes. Therefore, the new governor set up a garrison at Los Adaes to protect the city.

In 1771 he became commander of the Chihuahua frontier and on January 20, 1773, he was appointed commandant inspector of presidios under the office of Coronel.
He and Governor Juan María Vicencio de Ripperdá rejected the petition of Antonio Gil Y'Barbo that the settlers could return to their original homes. To strengthen the protection of Nueva Vizcaya, Coahuila, Sonora, Mexico he decided to expel the Apaches in the region, making war against these peoples in 1775 and 1776. Many Apaches died in the war. The Apaches who survived fled to more western areas. In 1777, he suffered a serious illness and was sent to Yucatan Peninsula, with the title of governor and brigadier general of the Mexican province, which was a lesser charge to that which he usually occupied. He died on March 8, 1779, at Quinta de Miraflores, in Mérida, Yucatán.

Legacy
In modern English translation, the order that founded the fort at what is now Tucson read as follows.

Globally, business-to-consumer (B2C) online sales is on pace to exceed $2 trillion by 2017. E-sales in Asia Pacific will surpass those in North America during that same year (yes, thanks to people who buy most of their products from China). The increased use of mobile devices in those regions, plus better payment systems and advanced shipping methods, are contributing to this trend. Consumers in many overseas markets can't get the products they want in local markets. This presents a huge opportunity for Nigerian retailers.
According to ecommerce provider Pitney Bowes, organizations "need to make sure they have a full understanding of what they're selling today and the current demand" in international markets. This knowledge will help you understand the size of the market that exists, the supply-and-demand dynamic for your product and the price at which it can be sold.
For example, most online spending in China can be attributed to just a handful of online retail segments: apparel, recreation, education and household products. This presents an undeniable opportunity within these markets. Similarly, another study discovered that the U.K. is one of the strongest markets for Nigeria-based online retail. The minimal local supply allow goods to move across borders at an affordable cost. These early learnings either enable ecommerce operations to succeed abroad or doom them to fail in far-flung places.
Businesses that launch physical products in international markets usually need to augment or adapt their solutions to support local preferences. Many Nigeria-based brands have failed to bring existing products to new markets because company leaders think that aggressive marketing or pricing can change cultural appetites that have been cast in stone.
AugustSecrets took the Nigerian pap, crayfish, dry fish and other baby food products, branded them for the international market. Due to the quality of her products and their demand in international markets, the brand has become a go-to for baby food products or baby nutrition advises.
3. Localize your Ecommerce site.
Authentic localization is a crucial driver for regionalized sales. Your ecommerce site experience should reflect the time and care you spent customizing the product itself. Consumers won't make a purchase if they don't understand your product or can't tune in to your message. In fact, 87 percent of consumers who can't read English won't purchase products or services from an English-language website, while 60 percent of global customers rarely buy on English-language sites.So, if your products are targeting customers who understand pidgin English more, please, use it.
When you enter a new market, you must price based on local currency. But price points that work in the Nigeria don't always work elsewhere (talk about this recession). Competitive pricing is important in any market – and it's determined by the local environment. More than half of consumers give more attention to an ecommerce site that has goods at local prices.
It's also important to support each region's preferred payment method. While it's exhausting to track so many purchasing habits, it can positively affect how your product sells. According to Ontraport, 50 percent of Germans prefer paying with bank transfers, while many Chinese customers favour the international payment platform Alipay.
If a customer tries to buy an international product and doesn't see a preferred payment option, he or she probably will leave your online store to look elsewhere. Offering a wide range of payment tools increases your product's global reach.
If you're building a global online store, you must understand how privacy and customer data pertains to overseas consumers. Customers want to know their privacy is being protected. They need reassurance their personal information won't be used for unrelated business without their consent. Get an SSL certificate for your website from your host company, if your hosting company doesn't have, I recommend you visit WhoGoHost for this.
Cyber safety is a huge problem plaguing modern ecommerce. According to a Norton study, 40 percent of mobile shoppers in the Middle East and North Africa have been victims of cyber crimes. And 71 percent reported observing digital attacks in their region. Alternatively, European consumers are notoriously protective about their privacy online (this one that Nigeria's now ranking high on the fraud list).
the costs of fraud and non-payment.
Keep an eye on my site, because I will be diving deeper into how to take your online store to a global stage, beat your competitors and compete head-to-head with the big guns.

Recently, I've learned that there are some owners of the MPG product by Cruiser RV, wanting to join the Heartland Owners Club. MPG by Cruiser RV does not qualify to join the Heartland Owners Club.
Allow me to explain by providing some background information.
In early 2010, Heartland RVs began to produce a teardrop-style, very small travel trailer under the MPG brand. This product was marketed for the 2011 and 2012 model years, then production of the brand was discontinued.
A number of years later, THOR Industries, parent of Heartland RVs, purchased DRV, CRV and Bison and brought them under the management of Heartland RVs. Sometime later, the MPG brand name was moved over to CRV (Cruiser RV). CRV developed the MPG into a non-teardrop style, large format travel trailer, thus resurrecting the brand name but under a different manufacturer.
Heartland RVs manufactures a number of RVs under a host of brand names. All brands listed on www.heartlandrvs.com qualify to join the Heartland Owners Club. As the MPG by Cruiser RV is not listed on www.heartlandrvs.com, this product is not eligible to join the Heartland Owners Club. Likewise, brands by DRV and Bison are not eligible to join the Heartland Owners Club.
My hope here is to give owners of MPG by Cruiser RV, a better understanding of the lineage of the MPG brand name, the transfer of that name to another manufacturer and clear understanding of how the Heartland Owners Club determines what Heartland brands qualify for membership.
Cruiser RV's on the Heartland Owners Forum?

UK PM May's response to London terror attack: Time to 'regulate' internet companies
Internet offers terrorist hatemongers 'safe space to breed' says PM
British prime minister Theresa May's statement in response to the terror attacks that saw seven people murdered in London on Saturday night has again called for internet companies to make life harder for those who would discuss hateful and violent ideologies.
May's statement calls for four changes in the way the UK combats terror.
"We cannot and must not pretend that things can continue as they are," the PM said, "and they need to change in four important ways."
May's first suggestion is turning minds away from violence so that the populace "understand that our values – pluralistic, British values – are superior to anything offered by the preachers and supporters of hate."
The second concerns the internet, as follows:
Second, we cannot allow this ideology the safe space it needs to breed. Yet that is precisely what the internet – and the big companies that provide internet-based services – provide. We need to work with allied, democratic governments to reach international agreements that regulate cyberspace to prevent the spread of extremism and terrorist planning. And we need to do everything we can at home to reduce the risks of extremism online.
May's third point is to rob terrorists of "safe spaces" in the real world. The PM said doing so will require military action in ISIS-controlled territory and for the UK to become "far more robust in identifying it and stamping it [terrorism] out", through "difficult and often embarrassing conversations" that unify the British community.
Her fourth point again suggests new laws controlling internet communications, as follows:
Fourth, we have a robust counter-terrorism strategy that has proved successful over many years. But as the nature of the threat we face becomes more complex, more fragmented, more hidden, especially online, the strategy needs to keep up. So in light of what we are learning about the changing threat, we need to review Britain's counter-terrorism strategy to make sure the police and security services have all the powers they need.
May's statement is consistent with her recent speech calling for major internet companies to "... develop tools to identify and remove this harmful material automatically" and to "report this vile content to the authorities and block the users who spread it."
It also hints at encryption-circumventing powers to add to those in 2016's Investigatory Powers Act. May's call for international regulation may be a reference to the European Commission's plans to allow access to data stored in the cloud by encrypted apps. The UK Parliament's Home Affairs Committee has called for social media sites to be fined if they do not remove hate speech within stipulated timeframes. ®

In 1898 Elizabeth Shaw went to the Tsimshian village of Port Simpson in Northern B.C. and worked for five weeks as the Matron of the Crosby Boys' Home, a residential setting for First Nations children. She was extremely upset by what she saw at the home and left. Later, while teaching in Greenville-Lakalzap, she wrote a letter to the Women's Missionary Society of the Methodist Church describing the bad food and harsh treatment at the Home and detailing a case of physical abuse of a young woman there. Excerpts were forwarded to the Superintendent of the Methodist Church in Toronto who arranged for an investigation. When the investigative report was released stating no change of management was recommended, Mrs. Shaw suffered a breakdown of her health and returned to Ontario.
Five years later, in response to complaints of the same nature from parents and from the Village Band Council, Rev. A.E. Green, the School Inspector and former Methodist Missionary to the North Coast, initiated an investigation which resulted in the Principal's immediate resignation.
Elizabeth Shaw died in the Brockville Asylum in 1917.
Based on Mrs. Shaw's original letter The Awakening of Elizabeth Shaw combines an impassioned reading with photographs, other archival material and moving images. This video documents one white woman's response to the unfair and inhumane treatment of First Nations children in British Columbia's residential schools.

CASTLEBAR JURY FINDS TWO SHELL TO SEA PROTESTERS NOT GUILTY
On July 20, 2015 July 23, 2015 By rebelbreezeIn Capitalism, Civil Rights, Current Event Report, Environmental, Human Rights, Ireland, Police Violence
COURT HEARS OF INTIMIDATION OF FAMILIES OF ACTIVISTS BY GARDAÍ AND SHELL SECURITY MEN WEARING BALACLAVAS
By Pat Cannon
I was present in Castlebar court house for most of the ten-days of the trial of Gerry Bourke and Liam Heffernan who are Shell To Sea supporters and activists. I witnessed at firsthand how tax-payers' money can be wasted at will by the agents of the state i.e. Gárdaí (the Irish police), State solicitors, the Dept. Of Public Prosecution, the Judge, court officials, State barristers and other hangers-on.
Numbers involved:
( 1 ) Judge ( 1 ) courtroom user ( 2 ) Stenographers ( 1 ) Prison officer; ( 1 ) Gárda on video evidence ( 2 ) State Solicitors ( 1 ) Senior Counsel for the State
( 1 ) Junior Counsel for the State; ( 2 ) Solicitors for the Defence ( 2 ) Senior Counsel for the Defense ( 2 ) Junior Counsel for the Defence; ( 12 ) Jurors ( 12 ) witnesses at least. Also the secretarial staff of all parties, including the DPP Office staff working on the case, also the cleaners and the other Court staff.
First of all if the State and the oil companies had initially negotiated with the locals, probably there would have been no need for these quiet citizens to have to rise up in protest against this project.
A much safer and easier route for the pipe line would have been found as the locals have an extensive knowledge of this area. If the state (and its Government) had negotiated a reasonable deal with oil companies then there would be much less protestors.
If proper health and safety regulations backed up by staff and equipment were in place from the start, people would feel much safer and secure in their homes. BUT NO! THE SHARKS DON'T NEGOTIATE — there is no room for compromise in a shark's make-up.
Right from the start, the Government, the oil companies, the Environmental Protection Agency, County Council, media, Judiciary, Gárdaí and every other arm of the State treated the local people with disregard, contempt and as a complete irrelevance. As far as all the above-mentioned were concerned there was big money to be had and no small fry was going to get in the way. THERE WAS BLOOD IN THE WATER AND THE SHARKS WERE IN FOR THE KILL.
Thankfully there were 2,500 years of tradition and history still alive and well in this area, there was a quiet shy population but of people with a strong backbone that were well hardened into hardship, neglect and resistance to outside dictatorship and who were not going to be bullied or pushed about by anybody.
The rural area chosen by Shell for the pipe-laying (planned to run between shed on the left of photo and house on the right)
It was this stern backbone that caused a middle-aged primary school Principal teacher and her two daughters, backed up by less than a half-dozen other locals to take a stand and start protesting against the potential desecration of this EU Environmentally Protected Area and their local pristine environment. Of course they were ignored, the media never mentioned them; the oil company's employees and officials looked the other way and probably had a good laugh as they passed, the Council and all the other arms of the State treated them as non-entities. As far as all these groups were concerned the local people were of no significance.
However, the time came when these officials had to get into closer proximity with the local people; they had to enter the local people's land and they thought they could do this without permission, by bullying and using threats but soon discovered how mistaken they were. They learned that they were not just dealing with a few individuals or a few head cases but instead that there was a whole community in this locality and that this community was close-knit and resolute in their opposition to outside intimidation and coercion.
With little or no advance warning the oil companies' employees entered the farmland of six local farmers without the owners' consent and proceeded to dig trial holes, knock down boundary fences and block access to and from the land in question. Naturally enough the farmers contacted their legal advocates and very quickly they were in court for the first time in their lives.
Of course the Courts and Judiciary are also an arm of the State and are also commercial enterprises just like the oil companyies and they ruled in favour of the foreign multi-national companies. After all small local marshland farmers can't afford to give big financial enticements to Court judges, politicians and Government officials but on the other hand the oil company will be very generous as has transpired since.
JAILING OF THE ROSSPORT FIVE
The six farmers, five men and one woman were found in "contempt of court" and the five men were jailed until they "purged their contempt". This lead to an outcry all over the country and hundreds of thousands of people came to the assistance of what became known as "the Rossport Five". Ninety-four days later the Courts had to capitulate and release all of the five innocent men.
However the scene was set for what would become a marathon David and Goliath battle between a small close-knit indigenous rural Irish community and three foreign multinational oil companies, one of which had a larger turnover than that of the whole Irish State even though the latter was experiencing an unprecedented economic boom.
Gardai defending Shell confront protesters
Thirteen years after the middle-aged school teacher and a handful of supporters stood outside the local council offices in protest the struggle is still going on and the oil companies and Irish Government are still trying to bully their way through the Irish people.
However, the Government's economic boom has disappeared and the people now realize that if they still had their oil and gas that was fraudulently misappropriated by the Irish Government and the oil companies, we would have NO EVICTIONS, NO CENTENARIANS ON HOSPITAL TROLLIES, NO EMIGRATION, NO UNEMPLOYMENT AND NO STEALTH TAXES.
IN THE COURT RECENTLY
So in these last two weeks I witnessed the State trying to criminalise two more supporters of the struggle; we saw video evidence showing that the men had to use considerable force to gain entry to Shell's site and when confronted by Shell's private army (security force) the protestors had to stand firm and use a variety of tactics to get past them. We heard State witness after State witness tell lie after lie or refuse to answer or evade answering questions when they were put in the witness box, then the Defence were not allowed show their video evidence and some of their witness were not allowed on the stand.
Shell security team manhandle a protester.
I heard how Shell's private army drive around the villages at night in two jeeps with blacked-out windows and shine their lights through the windows of activists' homes, whilst if anybody comes out of the houses then four men wearing balaclavas step out of each jeep in an act of intimidation. We heard how the Gárdaí constantly drive past the people's homes very slowly and then turn around a mile or two up the road just to drive past again five minutes later and hjow each time they pass, they stare into activists' homes.
I heard how the Gárdaí punched, pushed, kicked and beat with steel batons men, women and children, how many activists spent long terms in prison on trumped-up charges while Shell plied the Gárdaí with over €35,000 worth of alcohol. I also heard how a Gárda made derogatory remarks of a sexual nature about a protestor's wife to the protestor and how five Gárda were unwittingly recorded on a female prisoner's video camera planning how they would interrogate her when they got her to the Garda station by threatening to rape her and laughing at the different ways they would word the threat. ALL of them got away with ALL these misconduct events.
Gardai caught on camera in action at Rossport
I heard how while car tyre contains on average 2 bars of air pressure per square inch, that this gas pipe had 345 bars of highly inflammable gas pressure per square inch, that the seas and sea bed are highly vulnerable to currents (the second most volatile currents in the World).
I also heard the accused man's wife state how for 13 years while she was rearing her family she could think of nothing from once she got up in the morning till she fell asleep at night but this dangerous gas pipe line that would be practically going by their front door and over which she had to take her children to school every day.
In a statement to the Court, one of the Rossport 5 gave evidence that Michael D. Higgins (now Uachtarán of the Irish state) had been on the protest and had addressed the other protesters, also participated had the father of the State Solicitor prosecuting this case. He also said that Enda Kenny had visited the Five in prison and had told them that life was "very cheap in Ireland now" and that "you can get a man in Dublin to do a 'hit' on someone for €500."
Protesters against Shell in Dublin
In his summing–up the Defence counsel stated that the State agencies had rubbished themselves in the eyes of the world in their dealing with the situation, that the terms that our oil was given away were the second best in the world for the oil companies, that they stated that there were no emergency plan in place if an accident or act of terror did happen and that the protestors had rendered a magnificent service to their fellow citizens at much expense and hardship to themselves by standing up for what is right and correct.
Protest at Shell HQ in Leeson St, Dublin in solidarity with Ogoni people in Nigeria and people at Rossport. The Nigerian Government, to protect Shell's profits although the company was causing great environmental damage, hanged the nine leaders of the peaceful environmental movement
The Jury of eight women and four men was out for just about one hour when they returned with a unanimous verdict of "NOT GUILTY of violent disorder" on both Liam Heffernan and Gerry Bourke. A further malicious charge of "criminal damage" was dropped by the State because despite there having been 28 cameras on site and up to 30 security men and later a number of Gárdaí, there was no evidence to support the charge.
Just more waste of tax-payers' money. I have reckoned the tab that the tax-payer will pick up will be in the region of €150,000 and Shell won't be paying a penny of it.

Hey there! This post couldn't be written any better! Reading this post reminds me of my previous room mate! He always kept chatting about this. I will forward this write-up to him. Fairly certain he will have a good read. Many thanks for sharing!
require a lot of work? I have no expertise in coding however I had been hoping to start my own blog in the near future.
about my presentation focus, which i am going to present in institution of higher education.
Hi, the whole thing is going perfectly here and ofcourse every one is sharing information, that's truly fine, keep up writing.
the web I found this website as a finest web site for newest updates.
Heya exceptional blog! Does running a blog such as this take a lot of work?
Howdy! I could have sworn I've visited your blog before but after looking at many of the articles I realized it's new to me.


Most people can't shoot compelling videos, and static photos are boring. That's why the tech giants are all pushing their own versions of automatic movie makers based on your media. This month, Apple announced its version called Memories coming to iOS 10 Photos, Google Photos already has its Movies Assistant and today Facebook is rolling out Slideshow to all iOS users around the world.
Originally launched in August as part of Facebook's photo-sharing companion app Moments, Slideshow began testing with some users as part of the Facebook app's status composer in December. Now if you've taken more than five photos or videos in the last 24 hours and go to post a status, Facebook will suggest you create a Slideshow. It may also give you the option to "Try It" when viewing a friend's Slideshow.
Each Slideshow is automatically composed for you, combining photos and videos with themed music and transitions. You can edit it to add or remove images, and change the theme to one of 10, including Nostalgic, Playful, Night Out, Birthday, Epic, Thankful, Tropical, Bollywood and Amped.
While these are created from your stored media, they could help Facebook compete with Snapchat's Stories, which show the last 24 hours of stuff you've posted in a chronological narrative. Facebook explains that "We all know that people love to snap photos and share what they've been up to on the weekends, whether it's a family gathering, a road trip with friends, or even an epic brunch, and this fun new feature will let you stitch together those special photos into a format that captures the spirit of the event.
Facebook has reportedly seen a drop in personal content sharing over the past few years as links to news articles began to dominate the News Feed. Meanwhile, a lot of that off-the-cuff lifecasting has slid over to Snapchat. Facebook wants that unique, irreplaceable sharing to live on its social network, and Slideshow will make that easier.
Typically, you might only select the one best photo or video from an adventure to post on Facebook. Its algorithmically ranked feed preferences this style over rapid-fire posting like on Twitter. But the Slideshow music, movement and transitions jazz up your less eye-catching images and turns them into something worth watching.

Sri Lanka is a country on the rebound in every way. Just a few years ago, the nation endured a bloody civil war with the Tamil Tigers. In the midst of this rebound, the message of Christ has brought hope to many people, lifting them out of the hopeless grip of despair and poverty.


In the world today there are so many ways that you can have your identity stolen there is no way to list them all. There are also many ways to be able to secure your identity and your possessions from thieves of all kinds. Not only are these horrible people trying to use our identities to gain all that the system has to for us there are using it to get stuff for free as well and we are left trying to prove that we are not responsible for it. So in these times we need to take drastic measures to ensure that we are not taken advantage of by these people and one to do this is by using biometrics such as a keyless lock.
So how does a keyless lock work? A keyless lock can be in a variety of ways such as a retinal scanner or a fingerprint device. In any case these types of locks are some what more secure than the traditional locks. Of course if there are disadvantages to every type of lock these in my opinion are better and not to mention cool.
So what ever your type of lock always remember that there is always someone out there trying to pick it.
