"Berlin Revisited" exists as a fifteen-page autograph manuscript in the Lewis archive at Cornell. The first page is inscribed (not in Lewis's hand) "Blasting & Bombardiering," but in fact Lewis and his wife visited Germany and Poland in October 1937, immediately after the publication of that autobiography. (See Jeffrey Meyers, The Enemy: A Biography of Wyndham Lewis; the 1935 visit mentioned in the first sentence of the article is not recorded by Meyers.) 1 During the mid-1930s, Lewis's promotion of an understanding with the new Nazi regime in Germany brought him close to being an unofficial apologist for it. His fear of a repetition of World War I, in which he had served as an artillery officer, was an inextricable part of his attitude. Count Your Dead: They are Alive!, published in April 1937, is the climax of his campaign. After the 1937 visit, Lewis made no more attempts to persuade the British public of the beneficence of the Nazis, and, as his biographer notes, decisively distanced himself from anti-Semitism. "Berlin Revisited," then, records a visit that seems to have coincided with the turning point in Lewis's attitude to Hitler's Germany. It does not itself record the change of attitude, however. An "extremely vulnerable" Germany is still seen as a potential victim of aggression. But Lewis is clearly disappointed by the lack of a heroic temper in Berlin's well-dressed bourgeoisie (which indicates that he had expected the Nazis to induce one). The shoppers and café-loungers of Third City in the 1955 Monstre Gai (sometimes taken as a reflection of Lewis's attitude to the Welfare State in postwar Britain) clearly owe something to his memories of the Kurfürstendamm in 1937. 2 In Count Your Dead, Lewis had half insinuated the existence of a conspiracy by Jewish financiers to undermine European society by war, just as Russia had been subverted by communism. He was shocked by his visit to the Warsaw Ghetto, but there was evidently not yet sufficient change in his worldview for him to do more than record without comment the heroic or desperate Herr Israel's absurdist defiance of persecution.
A week or so ago I dropped into Berlin, which I had not visited for two years. This time I stayed in a small hotel off the Kurfürstendamm. The Kurfürstendamm is a big boulevard, thick with cafés. It is a sort of little Paris consisting of a single great boulevard, created under the Brüning and earlier régimes, in stark contrast with the old imperial city.
The "terraces" of these cafés which lie thick along the Kurfürstendamm are for the most part sumptuous marquees. Within these spacious tents, infested with palms, the elegant ladies and gentlemen of the new Berlin discuss coffee and cakes. These great Konditoreien are somewhat oppressively respectable, and incidentally extremely expensive.
It takes you a few days to sort out the essentials of this swarming tent-life, of Berlin's fashionable boulevard. The first thing you remark is the admirable taste displayed in all the clothes, hats, and shoes worn. There is a great surface effect of luxury. But these are only Konditoreien, or cake-and-coffee palaces, after all. If you go into the equivalent of these places in the matter of restaurants--the Weinrestaurant--you will find that more than half the customers are not eating, or not more than one dish. They have the wine but not the food of the wine-restaurant, many of them, whereas in London or Paris they would all be eating a four-course dinner.
After this, and a few similar discoveries, seeing the extreme smartness, notwithstanding, of these half-eaters, or mere drinkers, you will be disposed to say to yourself that these Germans put all their available cash on their backs.
But that would not be entirely correct. There is an explanation for this paradoxal smartness. It is probably true to say that they put too much of their money on their backs, and think too much of sitting for an hour or two in the palmy tent of a Konditorei, over a cup of coffee, trying to look as much as possible like a very rich and idle sportsman or sportswoman, reposing after a strenuous day on the tennis-court. But there is another factor which has to be taken into account.
If, after leaving the masses of sunburnt elegants toying with a cake and exhibiting themselves to the passers-by, or entertaining each other in the seclusion of an enormous marquee, you walk along the boulevard, you will find yourself passing shop after shop of the extremest luxury. That delicious mackintosh, with steel clasps in place of buttons, those multi-coloured half-sandals, those attractive flounced jackets you have just seen upon the bodies of the coffee-drinkers, you now see in the shop-windows. 3 Approaching the shop-window, you find to your astonishment that they cost very little. The shoes that impressed you so much are only twelve marks and a half; the dresses which create such a voguish effect range from fifteen to fifty marks; there is a very smart straw helmet for ten pence!
It is not quite true, therefore, that these people put all their money on their backs. For two or three pounds they can dress up like their favourite film-heroine or hero, and cut a dash as a coffee drinker. And for two or three marks they can exhibit themselves--they seldom talk much, they are too busy looking and being looked at--sipping a Moka and nibbling a cake.
The Germans have their fair share of the lady-and-gentleman complex, as it might be called, of the modern democracy. Every nation has its own variety of this absurdity. Where the Germans differ is that, with their matchless efficiency, they have a far more thorough way of indulging it and of showing it off. These big marquees and open tents in the Kurfürstendamm are colossal tableau-vivants of genteelness.
What Hitler, with his dreams of a "classless society," must think of all this I cannot imagine. But I suppose he doesn't think about it at all, he has too much to attend to, building up the armoured shell for his extremely vulnerable country.
The Kurfürstendamm is still run by the Jews, or rather most of the big shops still seem to be jewish--only they are diabolically cheap. Have these keen traders been left there on the understanding that they smarten up the Berliners at cost price? As a sort of defiance over one shop I noticed, in large capitals, the name ISRAEL. Approaching it, I found it was a dress shop. But the dresses were all most deplorably outmoded, even crumpled, and one or two actually hung upside down. Imagine this happening in the middle of Bond Street. A large shop, the window full of a provincial stock, displayed with a deliberate, as it were insolent, carelessness.
What Herr Israel may mean by this I cannot guess. With his coreligionists all round it is a case of "business-as-usual." Only the implacable Israel refuses to play, it would seem! With all his flags at half-mast he breasts the storm. 4
After having observed at my leisure the fashionable world of the Kurfürstendamm, I thought I would see what these people read. For what books would go with this sort of outlook I felt I should like to know. Entering one of the best of the Kurfürstendamm bookshops, I bought a Dolphin--or a Penguin--and put to the gentleman who served me my difficulty.
I had been much impressed, I told him, by the crowds I had seen outside, and I wished to know what they read. Six or seven years ago, I informed him, I had been greatly distressed to see nothing but detective stories in the windows of German shops. This great intellectual nation had abased itself before Edgar Wallace. 5 Today there were none. Did this signify that today the German taste was better?
No, he answered, their taste was not better. Was it then worse? I asked. No, he said. He volunteered the information that they had much more money to spend today than a few years ago. Ah: but then their taste must be better, said I. For they read better books.
He smiled. He said that did not follow. He said it was not because their taste was better but because they could not get them, that they did not read detective stories.
The German writers were all so ambitious and conceited, they refused to write detective stories, it seemed. This I gathered was one of the results of the new régime. He frankly regretted this ambitious temper or this "author-complex," as we should call it in England.
Besides, he informed me, intelligent people all liked detective stories. I raised my eyebrows in astonishment. Noticing my surprise, he smiled again. He assured me that that was the case.
I ventured the opinion that for a very intelligent man it might be an excellent thing to read a crime story, but for the multitude crime stories and nothing else was not the most suitable fare. That was a point of view that was worth considering, he thought.
This was a bookseller of considerable pretensions. When I asked him what anglo saxon books he sold most of he answered immediately Santayana. Santayana is surely the softest and silkiest of all philosophers. But my question had not contemplated the possibility of philosophical nibblings. I had meant fiction. And for a great philosophical race to indulge in Santayana was not very creditable, anyway. It suggested a considerable weakening of the teeth.
I brought him back to earth, however, by saying I had had fiction in mind. Morgan's Fountain seemed the next, after Santayana. 6 I held up my finger peremptorily and said--
"You have forgotten!" He looked startled.
"Forgotten?" he asked.
"Yes," said I. "There is another name that should have come before that of Morgan. Think again!"
He looked confused.
"Galsworthy!" I thundered.
For a fraction of a second he looked still more confused. Then he assumed, as best he could, an expression of imperious indifference, although palpably shaken.
"Galsworthy--yes," he exclaimed. "A year ago, perhaps. Not today. That is over."
The meaning of all this is as follows. Galsworthy has for a long time been the bible of the Germans. Middleclass Germany has absorbed the Forsyte Saga to the exclusion of almost any other English author--excepting, of course, Morgan's Fountain, from which cheaply platonic spring they still refresh themselves in prodigious gulps.
The full nectar of the kindred respectability of Anglosaxony was somehow to be found in Galsworthy more than in any other British importation. A young German, for instance, told me that his sister, a typical German girl, had read the Forsyte Saga ten times. He said that when he would arrive home late at night--however late--he would see a light in her room. Looking into it he would see her asleep, with the Forsyte Saga still in her hand.
When this young German paid a visit to London he naturally bought picture-postcards of Pall Mall, the Horseguards, and of the Houses of Parliament. These he sent to his sister in Berlin. On his return, he found that his sister had stuck these postcards into her copy of the Forsyte Saga, opposite the pages where the story speaks of these historic scenes.
All this I knew: I knew that to speak of the German Reading Public and not to mention Galsworthy would be a case of Hamlet without the Prince of Denmark.
After this visit to the Buchhandlung of the Kurfürstendamm I made it my business to visit many other bookshops. The three bestsellers among English books were, in every case, Galsworthy, Col. Lawrence, and Morgan's Fountain. 7 Those were always the first names that came to their lips. Of American books, Wolfe, the author of Look Homeward Angel, was the big noise. They had prospectuses from the Rowohltverlag of all his books, with the fine jewish head of the author on the cover. Hemingway is forbidden--Hemingway who is the incarnation of the spirit of physical adventure, the "tough guy" par excellence, and of all American authors the one you would think with most appeal for the Nazi Youth--the most unexceptionably "virile" reading.
For the rest, there is a spate of fashionable amateurs from England--such as Mr Richard Wyndham and Mr Harold Nicholson. 8 The latter gentleman refuses categorically to put his foot upon German soil, so great is his loathing for the Dritte Reich: but his books embellish all the shop-windows.
When one considers that the publication of books in Germany is rigidly censored, these are eccentricities, to say the least. But these books are not bestsellers. That is a curiosity of the censorship Abteilung [department], and is no indication of German taste. For you may bring a horse to the water, but you cannot, necessarily, make him drink. What the German bookbuyer--that is to say the middle class--drinks down in great draughts is Galsworthy. The lady-and-gentleman complex, as I have called it, is satisfied by that better than by anything else. It is deep calling to deep--the deep British respectability of Galsworthy is answered by the deep respectability of the Kurfürstendamm.
Politics are far from my mind. The Nazi revolution is now an accomplished fact.  But one thing we may surely deduce from this scrutiny of the bookshops: namely that a kindred respectability, almost as tenacious as that of England, has survived, intact, into the new era.
"Tell me what a man eats, and I will tell you what he is!" Well, for anybody who is able to augur from a book as well as some can from a gastronomic dossier, the words "Forsyte" and "Fountain" are eloquent.
A delusion of the Englishman--one among many--with respect to his German cousin, is that the German is invariably crude and rough. We have in England a disease called "refaynment"--something that causes the poor fellow afflicted with it to say "nayce" instead of "nice."
But the German can be just as "refayned" if not more so. Do not run away with the idea that every German gives utterance to a trenchant "Nein!" when desiring to express negation. No. There are just as many Germans who say "Nayn," or "fayn," for "nein" or "fein," as there are Englishmen who say "nayce" for "nice."
Another illusion of the Englishman's is that the Germans are an "intellectual" nation. That is of course absurd. The middleclass that was dispossessed by the collapse of the valuta [exchange rate] just after the war (to which, ultimately, the Nazi revolution must be traced) yearn with an almost pathological intensity for respectability. And, as a passion, respectability is at the opposite pole to the passions of the intellect, if one may so express oneself.
I received, while I was in Germany, as great an impression as ever of massive physical energy. Passing from Germany into Poland, the contrast, in this respect, is very great. I should, quite dispassionately, advise any country to think twice before it started dropping bombs on the Germans. But in all those matters where sensibility and artistic intelligence are concerned, it is another story. I must confess to having experienced a certain shock, upon realizing the ineradicable "nayceness" of the modern German mind. You know what it is--when you find that the gladiator reads Little Lord Fauntleroy in his spare time, it is sort of disillusioning. It should have been Aeschylus!

2. Wyndham Lewis, Monstre Gai (London: Jupiter Books, 1955), 39-46.
3. Uncertain reading of "flounced"; possibly "flowered."
4. People classified as Jews had been deprived of full citizenship and forbidden to marry "Aryans" in 1935, but the full force of prewar state anti-Semitism was not felt until the Reichskristallnacht of November 1938, when shops, synagogues, and schools were looted and destroyed. Jews were subsequently deprived of all basic civil rights.
5. Universal taste for Edgar Wallace and detective fiction in the liberal-capitalist democracies had frequently been deplored by Lewis; for example, in The Art of Being Ruled , ed. Reedway Dasenbrock (Santa Rosa: Black Sparrow Press, 1989), 180, and The Apes of God (1930; Santa Barbara: Black Sparrow Press, 1981), 402-4.

8. A friend and patron of Lewis's in the 1920s, the wealthy painter and writer Richard Wyndham (1896-1948) was satirized as Dick Whittingdon in The Apes of God. Harold Nicholson (1886-1968), associated with the Bloomsbury Group through marriage to Virginia Woolf's lover Vita Sackville-West, wrote a number of biographies during the 1930s. Initially a supporter of Oswald Mosley's New Party, he became a National Labour Member of Parliament in 1935, and was vigorous in his opposition to dictatorship.

As you already know, my name is Matej. I am an aspiring web developer who is always looking to learn new skills and take on new challenges. I've been playing around with web development for a few months now and it's been a helluva ride.
Currently I'm dabbling around in fronted development. I think it's the easiest way to start and the best way to build upon that knowledge later. I plan on becoming a fullstack developer as soon as I think I'm ready.
I finished a mathematics and natural science high school with good grades and enrolled in an electronics/computer science college where I am now at my third year. Lately I have drifted away from electronics (which I still sometimes do as a hobby) into the murky waters web development.
I'm getting to know my way around HTML, CSS and JS very well. That doesn't mean I haven't tried and enjoyed backend/fullstack projects and/or frameworks, it's just that I want to learn the basic stuff first. I am familiar with couple of other programming languages like Java, Python and C. I also have excellent skills in written and spoken english.

Mussels are cheap, flavoursome and now available all year round. Try them with this delicious Asian-style sauce.
Melt the butter in a heavy-based, lidded pan over a medium heat. Add the shallots, lemongrass, garlic, ginger and chilli(es) and fry for 4-5 minutes, or until softened but not coloured.
Increase the heat to high, then pour in the wine, coconut water and coconut cream and bring to the boil. Add the mussels and cover the pan with the lid. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the mussels have opened (discard any mussels that do not open during cooking).
Meanwhile, heat a griddle pan over a high heat. When the pan is hot, drizzle the olive oil over the bread slices and grill the bread for 30 seconds on each side, or until chargrill marks appear on both sides.
When the mussels have cooked, stir in the coriander leaves, then season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
To serve, spoon the mussels, and the cooking liquor, into four bowls. Serve the bread alongside.

SYNOPSIS#include <openssl/ec.h> #include <openssl/bn.h> EC_GROUP *EC_GROUP_new(const EC_METHOD *meth); void EC_GROUP_free(EC_GROUP *group); void EC_GROUP_clear_free(EC_GROUP *group); EC_GROUP *EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp(const BIGNUM *p, const BIGNUM *a, const BIGNUM *b, BN_CTX *ctx); EC_GROUP *EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m(const BIGNUM *p, const BIGNUM *a, const BIGNUM *b, BN_CTX *ctx); EC_GROUP *EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(int nid); int EC_GROUP_set_curve_GFp(EC_GROUP *group, const BIGNUM *p, const BIGNUM *a, const BIGNUM *b, BN_CTX *ctx); int EC_GROUP_get_curve_GFp(const EC_GROUP *group, BIGNUM *p, BIGNUM *a, BIGNUM *b, BN_CTX *ctx); int EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m(EC_GROUP *group, const BIGNUM *p, const BIGNUM *a, const BIGNUM *b, BN_CTX *ctx); int EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m(const EC_GROUP *group, BIGNUM *p, BIGNUM *a, BIGNUM *b, BN_CTX *ctx); size_t EC_get_builtin_curves(EC_builtin_curve *r, size_t nitems);
DESCRIPTIONWithin the library there are two forms of elliptic curve that are of interest. The first form is those defined over the prime field Fp. The elements of Fp are the integers 0 to p-1, where p is a prime number. This gives us a revised elliptic curve equation as follows: y^2 mod p = x^3 +ax + b mod p The second form is those defined over a binary field F2^m where the elements of the field are integers of length at most m bits. For this form the elliptic curve equation is modified to: y^2 + xy = x^3 + ax^2 + b (where b != 0) Operations in a binary field are performed relative to an irreducible polynomial. All such curves with OpenSSL use a trinomial or a pentanomial for this parameter. A new curve can be constructed by calling EC_GROUP_new, using the implementation provided by meth (see EC_GFp_simple_method(3)). It is then necessary to call either EC_GROUP_set_curve_GFp or EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m as appropriate to create a curve defined over Fp or over F2^m respectively. EC_GROUP_set_curve_GFp sets the curve parameters p, a and b for a curve over Fp stored in group. EC_group_get_curve_GFp obtains the previously set curve parameters. EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m sets the equivalent curve parameters for a curve over F2^m. In this case p represents the irreducible polybnomial - each bit represents a term in the polynomial. Therefore there will either be three or five bits set dependant on whether the polynomial is a trinomial or a pentanomial. EC_group_get_curve_GF2m obtains the previously set curve parameters. The functions EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp and EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m are shortcuts for calling EC_GROUP_new and the appropriate EC_group_set_curve function. An appropriate default implementation method will be used. Whilst the library can be used to create any curve using the functions described above, there are also a number of predefined curves that are available. In order to obtain a list of all of the predefined curves, call the function EC_get_builtin_curves. The parameter r should be an array of EC_builtin_curve structures of size nitems. The function will populate the r array with information about the builtin curves. If nitems is less than the total number of curves available, then the first nitems curves will be returned. Otherwise the total number of curves will be provided. The return value is the total number of curves available (whether that number has been populated in r or not). Passing a NULL r, or setting nitems to 0 will do nothing other than return the total number of curves available. The EC_builtin_curve structure is defined as follows: typedef struct { int nid; const char *comment; } EC_builtin_curve; Each EC_builtin_curve item has a unique integer id (nid), and a human readable comment string describing the curve. In order to construct a builtin curve use the function EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name and provide the nid of the curve to be constructed. EC_GROUP_free frees the memory associated with the EC_GROUP. EC_GROUP_clear_free destroys any sensitive data held within the EC_GROUP and then frees its memory.
RETURN VALUESAll EC_GROUP_new* functions return a pointer to the newly constructed group, or NULL on error. EC_get_builtin_curves returns the number of builtin curves that are available. EC_GROUP_set_curve_GFp, EC_GROUP_get_curve_GFp, EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m, EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m return 1 on success or 0 on error.

Creating a whole new customer-facing experience for billing and payments. Working with the business to create a new approach for users to self serve. Giving users the ability to solve issues without needing to contact call centres.
Channel 4
2021 - 2022
Senior UX/UI Designer (contractor)
By improving the end of playback experience, we hope to allow the end user to gain access to
more episodes and a greater exploration of recommended content easier.
We explored a variety of user scenarios to enable the user whilst also staying consistent to
the channel 4 brand guidelines.
I also ensured to work closely with the internal team to ensure that the experience worked
across a range of devices and platforms
The experience for users at the end of playback was not optimal especially in line with the
target metrics to increase content views. With that in mind, I worked on creating a new
version of the customer-facing screens.
The previous version of these screens included the ability to find additional episodes, as
well as additional content but both of these options were quite hidden behind buttons and
interactions.
By collecting data and analytics on how users navigated the screens, we could easily see
areas for improvement.
Notifications gave us the opportunity to give warning of events to the users when they arrive on pages

The Chromecast experience is a small part of the overall All4 project that had not been received that well by the public due to lack of features. I was placed on this project to try and help push through a refreshed look and feel and to seize upon opportunities to improve the experience. With the UI being redesigned recently across platforms, this was also an opportunity to bring a fresh interpretation whilst removing user interactions from the TV screen
One main improvement was creating the ability for the Chromecast device to autoplay the next episode of a TV series. Although this was a common pattern in rival platforms it was missing from the all4 app. I explored the introduction of new UX patterns which felt familiar to the user whilst always remembering that the user couldn't interact directly with the TV and only through the mobile device. This in itself opened up many new challenges for the end user and also for working across both TV development teams and the Android team to ensure the work was synced up.
I was part of the team that helped to restructure the design team away from using Sketch and moved towards figma for design and prototyping. With the change in the software also came a change in the approach of design system and the approach that the company wanted to take. By transitioning to Figma, Channel 4 also wanted to stop supporting the use of Abstract across the business. This led to a big change in the working relationship with developers and testers who had an established existing workflow. By moving our designs over to Figma, it gave us a chance to reevaluate the designs that we had in our files, the documentation we used and the handoff
In the move to Figma, we used this as a reason to look deep into the files which we were using for our designs. We took this opportunity to fix any inconsistencies across the UI and as a way to reduce the number of components which we would be remaking. As Sketch components were built in a very different way to Figma, we introduced a Base Component system, with each component having a subset of variables which could be easily switched when needed.
Documentation for developers was not one of the strongest points of the previous project. Designs were created in Sketch, and then handed off in Abstract but patterns were not documented clearly and were spread over different systems, some d in a wiki, some in Jira stories, some in miro and some not documented at all. As a design team, we came together to ensure that we had a consistent approach across all devices and platforms to ensure that developers did not have to battle to find designs or interactions
With this strive for a more consistent approach, We had to ensure that we were aligned across the whole range of platforms on a sense of organisation. This included (but was not limited to) a concise set of naming conventions which aligned with developer naming conventions, a set structure for signing of final designs, and a creating a strong connection with the testing teams to ensure that work is at a high standard.

Ariana Grande tells fans she’s struggling with an illness
Singer Ariana Grande is telling her fans that she has a bad sinus condition that has made her “very sick” and might force her to cancel upcoming shows on her world tour.
by Canadian PressSinger Ariana Grande is telling her fans that she has a bad sinus condition that has made her “very sick” and might force her to cancel upcoming shows on her world tour.
Grande, 26, says in videos posted Saturday on Instagram that “my throat and head are still in so much pain.”
While she sounds OK, “I’m just in a lot of pain and it’s difficult to breathe during the show,” she says in a message to her fans. “I just really don’t know what’s happening with my body right now and need to figure it out.”
Grande says she plans to see a doctor soon.
She adds: “I’m scared that I might have to cancel some things, so this is kind just a heads up of like I don’t know what’s happening with my body, and I’m really disappointed and freaked out of why I can’t get better because it’s been over three weeks at this point.”
People magazine first reported on Grande’s Instagram videos.

property MappingRect: TFloatRect;
MappingRect specifies the scaling and positioning of the input coordinate space in conjunction with the usage of the subordinate vector map. I.e. changing the mapping rectangle will change the mapping onto the transformed space. Consider the following two images:
Here a fisheye transformation was rasterized centered on the subordinate vector map (using RasterizeTransformation). In the left image, the mapping rectangle (the red rubberband layer) is centered and shrinked somewhat. In the right image, the rectangle was changed to another position and scaled, causing a different mapping. The rasterized transformation has not been changed.
As seen above, the the mapping rectangle is not behaving like a transformed bounds rectangle. Thus for intuitive user interface, one may prefer another type of representation. The above representation is solely chosen for the sake of explanatory value.


The new MongoDB Java Driver brings the new org.bson.Bson
, org.bson.codecs.Codec
and org.bson.codecs.CollectibleCodec
interfaces. There are several frameworks and libraries for runtime POJO mapping, but, isn't it better to make use of the new interfaces and annotation-processing to generate specific mapping codecs at compile-time and reduce POJO mapping on runtime?
That's were Bsoneer comes into play. Just by annotating your POJO with the @Bsonee
annotation, a specific CollectibleCodec
for that POJO is generated to help with its encoding/decoding to BSON.
CodecProvider
is generated to provide the generated Codec
s, a registry helper BsoneeCodecRegistry
to ease codec registration to Mongo and BsoneeBson
to get a Bson from a POJO.
We'll demonstrate Bsoneer usage by building a people registry. For complete sample code that you can compile and run, see Bsoneer's people registry example.
@Bsonee() public class Person { String name; private String lastName; private Date date; private GrowthStatus growth; protected Person() {} public Person(String name, String lastName, Date date, GrowthStatus growth) { this.name = name; this.lastName = lastName; this.date = date; this.growth = growth; } public String getName() { return name; } public String getLastName() { return lastName; } public void setLastName(String lastName) { this.lastName = lastName; } public Date getDate() { return date; } public GrowthStatus getGrowth() { return growth; } public void setDate(Date date) { this.date = date; } public void setGrowth(GrowthStatus growth) { this.growth = growth; } @Override public String toString() { return name + " " + lastName; } }
class PeopleRegistry { public static void main(String[] args) { // Initialize mongo client and database ... // Register generated codecs to people collection database MongoCollectioncollection = BsoneeCodecRegistry.to(database.getCollection("people", Person.class)); // Register Johnny! collection.insertOne(new Person("John", "Doe", new Date(), GrowthStatus.ALIVE)); System.out.println("We have " + collection.count() + " person(s) registered"); collection.find().forEach(new Block () { public void apply(Person t) { System.out.println("Registered " + t); } }); ... } }
Now that we registered the generated codecs, we run our people registry app. Fun :)
$ java -cp ... com.sleepcamel.bsoneer.example.PeopleRegistry We have 1 person(s) registered Registered John Doe
Bsonee
has the following options:
Let's use Foo to demonstrate how it is persisted using the different options:
@Bsonee() public class Foo { int a; Foo(){} }
is equivalent to:
@Bsonee(Foo.class) public class Foo { int a; Foo(){} }
and it will be persisted as: {_id:ObjectId(....),a:0}
@Bsonee(id="a") public class Foo { int a; Foo(){} }
will be persisted as: {_id:0}
@Bsonee(id="a", keepIdProperty=true) public class Foo { int a; Foo(){} }
will be persisted as: {_id:0,a:0}
public class FooIdGenerator extends IdGenerator<Foo> { public Object generate(Foo instance){ return instance.name + " " +instance.lastName; } } @Bsonee(idGenerator=FooIdGenerator.class) public class Foo { String name = "Some"; String lastName = "One"; Foo(){} }
will be persisted as: {_id:"Some One"}
BsoneeCodecRegistry
provides several utility methods to register generated codecs to a CodecRegistry
Register codecs to existing registry:
CodecRegistry oldRegistry = ... CodecRegistry newRegistry = BsoneeCodecRegistry.to(oldRegistry);
Register codecs to options builder:
MongoClientOptions.Builder mongoBuilder = ... BsoneeCodecRegistry.to(mongoBuilder);
Register codecs to a MongoDatabase
:
MongoDatabase db = ... BsoneeCodecRegistry.to(db);
Register codecs to a MongoCollection
:
MongoCollection collection = ... BsoneeCodecRegistry.to(collection);
Get a CodecRegistry with registered codecs:
CodecRegistry registryWithBsoneeCodecs = BsoneeCodecRegistry.registry();
Bsoneer also generates the helper class BsoneeBson
to help the user get a org.bson.conversions.Bson
based on a POJO instance. To use it, just do:
Bson bsonValue = BsoneeBson.bson(person);
Though MongoDB provides org.bson.codecs.IdGenerator
interface, it's generate method does not use the pojo to be persisted. To help with that, Bsonner brings com.sleepcamel.bsoneer.IdGenerator
class:
public abstract class IdGeneratorimplements org.bson.codecs.IdGenerator { private T instance; public void setEntity(T instance) { this.instance = instance; } public abstract Object generate(T instance); public Object generate() {return generate(instance);} }
This way the user can generate a POJO id based on it's current values
Bsoneer does some validations when generating codecs:
@Bsonee() public class Foo { private Foo(){} } @Bsonee() public class Bar { Bar(String a){} }
When compiling it, javac
rejects those classes:
[ERROR] COMPILATION ERROR : [ERROR] Foo.java: Cannot generate code for 'Foo'. Class does not have a default constructor or it is private [ERROR] Bar.java: Cannot generate code for 'Bar'. Class does not have a default constructor or it is private
Fix the problem providing a non-private default constructor:
@Bsonee() public class Foo { public Foo(){} } @Bsonee() public class Bar { Bar(){} Bar(String a){} }
Bsonee declarations cannot have both an id
property and an idGenerator
. That would mean the _id
is to have both the generated id from the idGenerator and the value obtained from the property marked as id
@Bsonee(id="a", idGenerator=CustomGenerator.class) public class Foo { int a; public Foo(){} }
This would result on the following output:
[ERROR] COMPILATION ERROR : [ERROR] Foo.java: Cannot generate code for 'Foo'. Cannot use id property and idGenerator at the same time.
To solve this, you should use either id or idGenerator, for example:
@Bsonee(id="a") public class Foo { int a; public Foo(){} }
Bsonee verifies that the property marked as id
is found on the POJO. For example:
@Bsonee(id="b") public class Foo { int a; public Foo(){} }
This would result on the following output:
[ERROR] COMPILATION ERROR : [ERROR] Foo.java: Id property not found
To solve this, you should use an existing property of the POJO:
@Bsonee(id="a") public class Foo { int a; public Foo(){} }
When using @Bsonee(idGenerator=...)
, the provided idGenerator
must have a public default constructor. This example:
@Bsonee(idGenerator=FooIdGenerator.class) public class Foo { int a; public Foo(){} } public class FooIdGenerator extends IdGenerator{ FooIdGenerator(){} @Override public Object generate(Foo instance) { return new ObjectId(); } }
This would result on the following output:
[ERROR] COMPILATION ERROR : [ERROR] Foo.java: IdGenerator must have a default public constructor
Bsonee
inside Bsonees
without value
When using @Bsonees({@Bsonee(...)})
, declared @Bsonee
's must have a value(otherwise, bsoneer cannot know for which class it has to generate a codec for. This example:
public class Foo { int a; public Foo(){} } public class Bar { int a; public Bar(){} } public class App { @Bsonees({@Bsonee(),@Bsonee(Bar.class)}) public static void main(String[] args) {} }
This would result on the following output:
[ERROR] COMPILATION ERROR : [ERROR] App.java: @Bsonee inside @Bsoness must have a value
To solve this, make sure you provide the value inside @Bsonee
when using @Bsonees
:
public class App { @Bsonees({@Bsonee(Foo.class),@Bsonee(Bar.class)}) public static void main(String[] args) {} }
↓ Latest JAR ↓ Latest Compiler JAR
You will need to include the Bsoneer JAR in your application's runtime. In order to activate code generation you will need to include the compiler JAR in your build at compile time.
The source code to the Bsoneer, its samples, and this website is available on GitHub.
<dependency> <groupId>com.sleepcamel.bsoneer</groupId> <artifactId>bsoneer</artifactId> <version>(insert latest version)</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>com.sleepcamel.bsoneer.compiler</groupId> <artifactId>bsoneer-compiler</artifactId> <version>(insert latest version)</version> <optional>true</optional> </dependency>

My first astro time-lapse made in 2011. Making this opened my eyes to astro-photography, and time-lapses in general, which I really want to spend a lot more time shooting. This should make the long dark winters in Sweden a bit more fun...


I designed and led the development of a currency conversion selector that enabled international users to make purchases on priceless.com. Since there was an existing language selector in the platform's navigation bar, I designed the currency selector to be integrated in the same dropdown.
For this project I was responsible for leading the initiative to redesign the platform checkout flow and implement the new guest checkout feature. I conducted multiple usability tests and designed the new checkout flow based on those findings.

This Parsee dish uses jaggery, soft apricots and vinegar for a really successful balance of sweet and sour. The crisp fried potatoes add crunch.
Drain the potatoes and dry on kitchen paper. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan over a medium heat until hot (or heat a deep-fat fryer to 180C/350F). CAUTION: hot oil can be dangerous. Do not leave unattended. Deep-fry the potatoes in batches until crisp and golden-brown. Remove from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with kitchen paper. Season with salt.
For the curry, heat the oil in a heavy-based pan or karahi over a medium heat. Add the whole spices and fry for a minute until fragrant, then add the onion and fry for 10 minutes, or until softened and golden-brown.
Stir in the tomatoes and salt and simmer for 2–3 minutes, then add the ginger, garlic, chilli powder, cumin, coriander, garam masala and turmeric and cook for a minute.
Add the chicken pieces to the pan and cook, stirring, for 2–3 minutes, or until well coated with the spice mixture, then add the jaggery, apricots, vinegar and enough water just to cover. Bring to the boil, lower the heat, cover the pan with a lid and simmer for 30–40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender, and the sauce is reduced to a rich, thick consistency.
Serve with the potato sticks heaped on top, and scatter with coriander.


Red-necked wallabies have been present in Britain for more than a century, originally being imported for zoos and private collections where they were popular attractions. However they also proved to be adept escape artists that were adaptable enough to survive in the British countryside. To find out what impact an established population of wallabies might have in Britain, we first have to establish where wild wallabies might be found, how often they are recorded and whether there are any current, established populations. We recorded a total of 95 confirmed sightings between 2008-2018, with most occurring in the month of August. Females with young were seen in Cornwall.
Hen Harrier and Short-eared Owl are ground-nesting, open-country birds of prey that have overlapping distributions. This paper brings together expert knowledge on threats to these species, across Europe. Both species are generally in decline and populations are broadly affected by the same factors, including predation, climate, habitat loss, agricultural intensification, and persecution. Despite the similarities, there were key regional differences, highlighting the need for country-specific conservation actions. Protected areas were the most commonly used conservation tool, though they appear to be less effective than active management to benefit the species. Effective conservation on the continental scale requires collaborative international research and practical approaches, with ongoing monitoring and assessment.
Camera traps (CTs) are an increasingly popular method of studying animal behavior. However, the impact of cameras on detected individuals-such as from mechanical noise, odor, and emitted light-has received relatively little attention. These impacts …
We used text mining, mixed-effects models, principal component analysis and clustering methods to explore anthropogenic pressures on suitable breeding and foraging habitats for Hen Harriers in Ireland, based on the 2015 national breeding Hen Harrier …
Hen Harriers are scarce in Ireland and the population is declining. The species typically breeds in upland heather moorland habitats. Due to changes to land managemen and degradation as a result of other activites, much of the Irish moorland is degraded or has been completely replaced. In this paper we showed that the breeding success of Hen Harriers in Ireland is impacted by climate, landscape composition and management. It is clear that if Hen Harriers are to have a long-term future in Ireland then conservation needs to happen and be prioritised on the landscape scale.
Myxomatosis is a highly contagious, frequently fatal viral disease affecting both wild and domesticated European rabbits across many areas of the world. Using electronic health records (EHRs) collected from pet rabbits across Great Britain (GB) between 2014 and 2019, we identified new features of this disease's epidemiology. Cases occurred across the country but there was considerable variation between years, with biannual peaks occurring in August to November. The chances that pet rabbiots could contract the disease varied by season, age, sex, vaccination status and the distance to wild rabbit habitat. Vaccinated rabbits were 8 times less likely to be recorded as a case than unvaccinated rabbits. This work can inform targeted health messages to rabbit owners and veterinary practitioners aimed at reducing the impact of this preventable disease.

Gough Island, a remote island in the South Atlantic, is home to one of the most important seabird colonies in the world, including 22 breeding species. House mice were introduced to Gough in the 1800s and have since been observed eating seabird chicks and eggs. However, the extent of their impacts on breeding seabird populations was unknown. In this paper we calculated the breeding success of 10 species on Gough and compared these to the breeding success of similar species on islands where there aren't any invasive mammals. We estimated that house mice are responsible for the loss of nearly 2,000,000 chicks and eggs on Gough Island, annually. Some species are more vulnerable than others but almost all were impacted. At least three species that are found nowhere else in the world, the Tristan Albatross, Atlantic Petrel, and MacGillivray's Prion are likely to become extinct in the near future if mice aren't removed from Gough.

10 people hospitalized in Idaho with vaping-related illness
BOISE, Idaho (AP) - The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare says 10 people have been hospitalized with vaping-related illnesses.
Boise television station KTVB reports health officials say no single substance has been associated with the cases.
The illnesses are marked by respiratory symptoms including cough, shortness of breath and chest pain.
Nationwide roughly 33 people have died and nearly 1,900 people have been hospitalized in connection with the outbreak. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says those numbers to rise because of a lag in reporting.

Company Profile
A PARTNERSHIP OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS AND PLANNERS
HTFC Planning & Design offers a wide range of planning and environmental design services. Since its inception in 1969, the firm has evolved to its present complement of professional and technical staff. Committed to an interdisciplinary approach to design and planning, the professional staff have expertise in landscape architecture, community and regional planning, geography and urban design and backgrounds in tourism planning, geography, environmental studies, remote sensing, computer applications and graphic arts. In addition to its own resources, HTFC Planning and Design routinely collaborates with professionals from the related disciplines of architecture, engineering and biological sciences. The firm specializes in work in the North American prairie region and the boreal forest of Northwestern Ontario and Northern Canada.
PROFESSIONAL PHILOSOPHY AND APPROACH
HTFC Planning & Design recognizes that responsible planning and design must be based upon an understanding of the inter-relationships between the numerous biological, physical, social, cultural and economic attributes of land systems; the relationship of this understanding with the goals and objectives of the planning and design program; and a commitment to implementation.
This philosophy asserts that a thorough knowledge of a project area is necessary in order to realize its full potential, to assess and predict a projects biophysical, aesthetic and socioeconomic impact and to provide a foundation upon which rational and responsive proposals can be built. In association with this requirement, it is our belief that close consultation must be maintained with clients and other identified interests. This emphasis upon the combination of high quality work and close client consultation rests at the heart of our success.
Application of this philosophy requires that an interdisciplinary approach be taken to the process of analysis, planning and design. Therefore, we have assembled a team of experienced professionals and technical support staff, each member of which has acquired a high level of expertise in his or her own field. Collaboration and team work, as integral components of an interdisciplinary approach, are not new to any of the individuals in the firm. Through this approach, we are able to provide clients with a product which reflects the combined skills and experience of the partners and staff within the firm.

Flipping the order of the conditional expression branches usually increases the clarity of such statements.
Use the Ignore '!= null' comparisons and Ignore '!= 0' comparisons options to ignore comparisons of the form
obj != null
or num != 0
.
Since obj != null
effectively means "obj exists",
the meaning of the whole expression does not involve any negation
and is therefore easy to understand.
The same reasoning applies to num != 0
expressions, especially when using bit masks.
These forms have the added benefit of mentioning the interesting case first.
In most cases, the value for the == null
branch is null
itself,
like in the following examples:
static String getName(Person p) {
return p != null ? p.getName() : null;
}
static String getExecutableString(int fileMode) {
return (fileMode & 0b001001001) != 0 ? "executable" : "non-executable";
}
