Chūōlinjen  är en japansk 424,6 km lång dubbelspårig järnvägslinje, med fyrspår mellan Mitaka och Ochanomizu (som planeras byggas ut mellan Takao och Mitaka), mellan huvudstaden Tokyo och Nagoya, uppdelad i en västlig del  och en östlig del , helt färdigbyggd 1911. Linjen, med en maximal hastighet av 130 km/tim, är den långsammaste förbindelsen mellan städerna, då den kustnära Tokaidolinjen är något snabbare, medan Tōkaidō Shinkansen är den snabbaste länken.

Linjen är mycket hårt trafikerad, främst mellan Tokyo och Takao station, med frekvent trafik med pendeltåg och tunnelbanetåg (som ofta övergår mellan tunnelbana och järnväg i Stortokyo) mellan Mitaka och den vid Nakano anslutande Tozai-linjen. För att minska trafiken in till Tokyo station utgår nästan samtliga expresståg från station Shinjuku, medan vissa lokala tåg färdas, istället för till och från Tokyo station, till och från den anslutande Sobulinjen vid station Ochanomizu. Chuolinjen, som även är ett viktigt godsstråk, trafikeras därutöver även av följande expresståg:
Azusa: Shinjuku–Matsumoto.
Kaiji: Shinjuku–Kofu.
Chūō Liner: Shinjuku–Hachioji/Takao (trafikeras vardagar under rusningstid; endast reserverade platser).
Ōme Liner: Shinjuku–Ōme (trafikeras vardagar under rusningstid; endast reserverade platser).
Narita Express: Takao–Naritas internationella flygplats via Shinjuku/Tokyo station (direktturer två avgångar per dygn vardera hållet).

History of Medicine - Hospital - Medicine - Ottomans - Waqf - Women -
This paper explores the medical philanthropy of Rabia Gülnüş (pronounced Gulnush) Sultan in 17th century Makkah. To date, little study has been done on Gülnüş Sultan's 1679 hospital waqfiyyat (deed of trust), despite the significance it holds for scholarship on Ottoman imperial women's patronage of healthcare in Makkah. The author suggests that as patrons of medical institutions, Ottoman royal women shaped the standards of healthcare in not only imperial cities but also extended their influence to the Islamic pilgrimage route. Moreover, despite the instrumental role of Ottoman imperial women as patrons of healthcare institutions prior to the nineteenth-century, Ottoman medical scholarship neglects their contributions to the emergence of modern public health. The author redresses this absence in scholarship by studying the transborder medical philanthropism of Rabia Gülnüş Sultan on the Hajj route through her 1679 hospital in Makkah. This paper is adapted from a chapter in the author's master's dissertation at SOAS and supervised by Dr Ceyda Karamursel.

1. Rabia Gülnüş Sultan: A Forgotten Sultana
Figure 1. Gülnuş Sultan in a 19th century portrait painting in Topkapi Palace Museum Portraits Collection, 17/44. (Source)
Rabia Gülnüş Sultan (1642-1715) was the Greek Haseki—or imperial consort—of Sultan Mehmed IV (r. 1648-1687) and would later become Valide Sultan to Mustafa II (r. 1695-1703) and Ahmed III (r. 1703-1730). She was born as Eugénie in Rethymno on the island of Crete, which was Venetian-ruled at the time.[1] Gülnüş Sultan's influence swept across the tide of turmoil and fortunes of the 17th to 18th century empire, beginning in 1664, when she became Haseki, to 1687.[2] The Ottoman Sultana held sway in both state affairs and philanthropical projects across the empire from 1695 up to 1715, when she passed away.[3] Muzaffer Özgüleş has accordingly dubbed her "one of the most influential of Ottoman royal women", due to her prolonged prestige and standing as Haseki and Valide Sultan.[4] Despite the Sultana's ascendancy, however, Gülnüş Sultan's influence has been enveloped by earlier Queen Mothers, including Hürrem and Turhan Sultan.[5] As a neglected imperial woman in scholarship, studies on Gülnuş Sultan are particularly limited, but her medical patronage in Makkah has been given far less attention than earlier imperial women.
2. A Trail of Philanthropy: Women as Patrons of Healthcare in the Holy Cities
Gülnüş Sultan was not the first Ottoman imperial woman to build a hospital in Makkah, following in the footsteps of another haseki, Hürrem Sultan (d. 1558), in 1550-1551. However, unlike her well-known predecessor, so little is known about Gülnüş Sultan's dar al-shifa (hospital) in 1679, that it seemingly disappears from historical discourse on "imperial Ottoman hospitals".[6] More recently, however, the historian Muzaffer Özgüleş dedicated his 2017 book Female Patronage and the Architectural Legacy of Gülnuş Sultan to Gülnuş Sultan's architectural patronage. It is a plausible explanation that the paucity of studies on the 1679 hospital, unlike Haseki Women's hospital and Nurbanu Valide Sultan's hospital, may be due to the floods in Makkah which led to the hospital's reconstruction. This is particularly relevant as although women's hospitals have more recently been the focus of scholarship, even these studies have tended to focus on women's dar al-shifa in the urban cities of the empire, and rarely provincial cities.[7]

Gülnüş Sultan's hospital left a stamp on the landscape of Ottoman women's medical institutions in the holy cities; however, her royal patronage followed the medical philanthropy of other imperial women in the Abbasid period, such as Khayzuran (d. 789) and Zubayda (d. 831) who endowed "wells and drinking fountains", followed by Shaghab (d. 933) who is credited with establishing "medical facilities" in the holy cities.[8] Ottoman Sultans commonly endowed hospitals "in major urban centers",[9] while others from the imperial structure would construct edifices in provincial cities, such as, inter alia, royal women. [10] This explains why it was Hürrem Sultan who built the first one in Makkah during the 16th century,[11] followed by the grand vizier Sokullu Mehmet Paşa in 1573, and after one hundred years—Gülnüş Sultan.[12] However, what made Gülnüş Sultan's medical philanthropism on the hajj route even more significant was that it manifested as an intricate web of interconnected projects in the form of a soup kitchen, hospital, and a primary school,[13] which passed on the profits from numerous villages in Egypt to the endowment in Makkah.[14]
Maintaining endowments in Makkah was, furthermore, permeated by sacred significance given that the location of the dar al-shifa was Islam's holy city,[15] which frames the Sultana's medical philanthropism as a pious project.[16] Özgüleş, however, has suggested that the geographical distance from the imperial capital weakened the influence of the royal woman's philanthropy.[17] For instance, apart from the residents of Makkah, pilgrims may have been the primary patients of her endowment, which may have restricted the influence of the endowment for the whole populace.[18] It could be suggested that the significance of Gülnuş Sultan's medical philanthropy in the seventeenth-century, during the "sultanate of women", was emphasised by the "public culture of sovereignty" that was cultivated by imperial women during this period.[19] However, the pattern of Ottoman imperial women's hospital-building was inherited from earlier Muslim civilisation and consequently did not mark a major shift in royal women's charity.
3. The Waqfiyyat of Rabia Gülnüş Sultan: Medical Philanthropy in Makkah

In the seventeenth-century, Ottoman imperial women's patronage of hospitals continued the trend of the medical philanthropy of earlier female patrons, enhancing the healthcare that was accessible to the public.[20] Female endowers bore responsibility towards the empire's subjects that extended beyond the demarcated boundaries of the imperial city to the holy cities of the empire. One form of this medical philanthropism is waqf (pl. awqāf) in Muslim civilisation, which are "privately owned property" that are "endowed for a charitable purpose in perpetuity".[21] Waqfiyyat have been referred to a "constitution of the Ottoman healthcare system", but they can also be studied to shed light on imperial women's visions for medicine and healing.[22]
According to Abattouy and Al-Hassani, by establishing awqāf, female endowers were "legally empowered" to influence society as they had the prerogative to determine the recipients of medical care in locations of their choice.[23] Gülnüş Sultan's 1679 waqfiyyat, which has hitherto not been the focus of study in English scholarship, reveals that the Ottoman Sultana's patronage of healthcare transcended to the pilgrimage route and subsequently suggests that women were central to the development of public health in the holy cities of the empire.
Firstly, the hierarchy of employment within Gülnüş Sultan's hospital conformed to the Galenic-humoral tradition and therefore establishes the parity between employment in male and female dar al-shifa. The Chief Physician received the highest salary of 30 paras and 20 loaves of bread daily, which may have been an even greater amount than the "head of the medical school" that Sultan Süleyman employed in his Mosque Complex (1548-1549). Peçevi, for instance, indicates that the Sultan employed Tabib Ahmet Celebi for a salary of "60 akçe" per day,[24] which may have been equivalent to 20 para based on Robert Carson's estimation.[25] Gülnüş Sultan also specified the employment of a "skilled physician of superior qualifications who strives to achieve innovations in medical treatment", and someone who was qualified to be the physician's assistant, for which he would receive "ten loaves of bread and ten paras a day."[26] She further stipulated the employment of "a skilled surgeon strong enough to attend the wounded" in the deed of trust.[27]
Figure 4. Interior of the dome of the Yeni Valide Mosque (Emetullah Râbi'a Gülnûş Sultan Mosque) in Üsküdar, Istanbul. (A.Savin, WikiCommons )
Accordingly, women's dar al-shifa were no exception to the variety of staff that made up royal hospitals of the empire, employing hundreds in "medical, administrative, and menial duties".[28] Although the present study omits archival budget records, these could also be used to shed light on employment in women's hospitals.[29] What is known, however, concerning Gülnüş Sultan's waqf is that the total number of employees at the endowments in Jeddah were 28 in the hospital, 55 in the soup kitchen, and 5 in the storehouse, all of whom were renumerated from the endowment's revenue.[30] In addition to their monetary salaries, they were given "bread cooked in the waqf's bakery", while the other thirty-one staff employed at the endowment received "yearly rations of wheat".[31] Accordingly, this suggests that Ottoman royal women's awqāf were no different to those of their male counterparts. There was "no distinction" or "textual difference" visible in Ottoman records to differentiate the endower's gender, a phenomenon referred to as "gender-blindness" by Deguilhem.[32] This is significant given that, preceding the 19th century, imperial women's hospitals were not distinguishable from men's which gave Ottoman royal women the influence to shape healthcare in the empire in a manner that did not differ to their male counterparts.[33]
Despite this, Gülnüş Sultan's 1679 medical institution did envision a distinctive connection between medical practices and spirituality, a common trend among royal female endowers tying public health to devout doctors.[34] The royal woman stipulated, for instance, that the Chief Physician be of virtuous character, for which he would receive an enormous payment. She employed a religious head for staff at the hospital, as well as a reciter of prayers, making it a condition that:
someone who is pious and upright […] always attentive to his business, who is present at religious services morning and evening, and who possesses the strength to give to others as much as they they are entitled to shall be the religious head of those employed at the hospital […] Someone worthy and pious shall serve as the reciter of prayers[35]
Employees at the hospital, moreover, were expected to perfect their moral characteristics; for instance, the steward's "uprightness" was to be "obvious and clear",[36] and the cellarer was to be "uprightly honest".[37] Singer comments that pious endowments may have been "inspired by spiritual, social, economic or political motives".[38] In the case of Gülnüş Sultan's medical patronage, the hospital employed pietistic staff to cultivate this ethos in medicine, which evidences that the patronage of the imperial women was imbued with devotional motives.
Lastly, although it is not within the scope of this paper to discuss the historiography on the origins of the modern 'hospital',[39] the dar al-shifa of royal patrons in the seventeenth-century were institutions of healing administering Galenic-humoral medicine, and accordingly they have been studied as such. There is debate in historiography regarding when hospitals began to function as the primary establishments for providing healthcare, with the more common position being the 19th century.[40] This can be disputed by the presence of bimaristans in early Muslim civilisation; however, in the medieval and early modern period hospitals administered unconventional medical care which differed to the modern institution [41] and this is demonstrated by documents from the end of the 15th century hospitals of Sultan Mehmet II Fatih (d.1481) and Bayezid II (d. 1512).[42] Items bought "for the hospital warehouses" recorded foodstuffs and medicaments together, without differentiating between the two which poses a difficulty for historians to discern what constituted medicine in imperial hospitals.[43] For example, opium was used a great deal in "Anatolian cuisine" alongside poppy which had medicinal benefit for not only humans, but also "veterinary" treatments.[44] Even oil and honey, and drinks such as coffee were known to have "gastronomic purposes" and function as medicine.[45] Similarly, Gülnüş Sultan laid down the purchase of basic staples such as "seven quintals of soap, fat, and honey", as well as "fifteen Egyptian quintals of olive oil" which were "to burn in the hospital".[46] She specified the purchase of medicines separately, such as "drugs and syrups and pastes" which were to be purchased for 20,000 paras per year.[47] Wounded patients were to have "salves and other materials" which were unspecified, purchased for 10,000 paras yearly.[48]
An incident has been recorded in the Archives of Topkapı Palace (TSMA) from 1689, after the hospital repair project during 1684-1686 (1095-1097 AH). The nazir (governor) of the hospital in Makkah had a letter sent to the founder Gülnüş Sultan, listing the provision required for the hospital.[49] Although olive oil was used by "cooks at the nearby soup kitchen", he highlights that "the physicians and surgeons" made use of it too, which led to him requesting to buy a considerable amount more.[50] This demonstrates Gülnüş Sultan's integrated and holistic vision for healthcare in the 1679 dar al-shifa, and reinforces, as Pormann and Savage-Smith suggest, that female patrons "endowed hospitals" which "constituted a considerable contribution to public health".[51] Overall, this paper has shed light on Gülnüş Sultan's medical philanthropism in the 17th century which might have significantly shaped healthcare in the holy city.

Investor Letters
265: I wouldn't sell my Twitter account for $1 million and here's why
Check out my new course on how to get the most out of Twitter at sweatystartup.com/twitter/
Twitter has changed my life, and I wouldn't sell my account for $1 million. In fact, it would take much more.
Coming into 2022 I have over 180 thousand followers, have raised over $20 million in investor capital, and have almost a thousand LPs on my distribution list that have primarily come from Twitter. I've earned over $900 thousand in 2021 through consulting, online media, affiliate sales, ads, and podcast income. In the process, I've learned a lot about the keys to Twitter: how to gain followers, build a funnel, and accomplish my goals through gaining distribution.
The problem with Twitter is that nobody has the outline of exactly how to grow. Many try and many fail, and without a large distribution base, it's incredibly hard to accomplish your goals and have an impact on the world. When used effectively, Twitter is your free country club with unlimited scale. Whether you have tangible goals about networking and gaining followers or just want to spread your ideas, there's no better place to do that than on Twitter.
I've launched a new course at sweatystartup.com/twitter/ with over 15 thousand words along with videos, screenshots, and workshopping on how to build your audience on Twitter. The course walks you through how to set up your profile, make tweets that stand out, and gain your follower base all while avoiding the mistakes that I made.
If you think an online presence will help you reach your goal, this course is worth your time. The price tag can pay for itself with just one deal, one relationship, or one networking opportunity.

Upward Trend in Wage Inequality among AAPI Workers in the US Continues
• ARTICLE InequalityUSWorkers
Hye Jin Rho
Asian American and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) are one of the fastest growing demographic groups in the US workforce. About 9.5 million AAPIs[1] ages 16 or older worked in the United States in 2017 — a dramatic increase from just over one-half of one percent of all US workers in 1960 to 6.1 percent today.[2] AAPI workers also almost doubled from 2000, during a period when the Asian population in the US grew 87 percent, from 11.9 million in 2000 to 22.2 million in 2017.[3]
As more AAPIs enter the labor force, it is becoming ever more important to understand the unique challenges facing these workers and not be misled by the model minority stereotypes that have consistently downplayed the socioeconomic disparities rampant in these communities.
Data have consistently shown[4] that income inequality in the US is greater among AAPI workers than it is among workers from other racial and ethnic groups. Figure 1 below shows the income of full-time and full-year wage and salary earners, at 10th, 50th, and 90th percentiles of the pay distribution, and demonstrates the gap between high- and low-wage workers.
In 2017, AAPIs at the 90th percentile of the pay distribution (high-wage workers) made 7.1 times the pay of AAPIs at the 10th percentile of the distribution (low-wage workers). This wage gap was highest for AAPI workers, compared to about a 6-to-1 ratio for white workers, and about a 5-to-1 ratio for black or Latino workers. The 90/10 ratio was even higher for some ethnic AAPIs groups, such as Pakistani and Chinese (excluding Taiwanese), and similarly high for Korean, Bangladeshi, Vietnamese, Taiwanese, Asian Indian, Mongolian, Nepalese, and Malaysian groups.
While AAPIs in total made more than other racial and ethnic groups on average ($60,700 in 2017), this also varied significantly across different AAPI groups. For example, while Asian Indians earned $86,000 on average, Bhutanese earned just about $25,000 a year on average. High-wage Taiwanese workers earned $200,000 in 2017, while high-wage Koreans made $152,000 and Hmongs $65,000.
Pacific Islanders also generally earned lower wages than Asian Americans. Even though the income inequality among each Pacific Islander group tended to be lower than most Asian American groups, Pacific Islanders working full-time and full-year earned about $28,000 (Tongan) to $42,000 (Samoan) on average.
These disparities within and between Asian American and Pacific Islander subgroups are important to understand, given the continuing growth in the gap between high- and low-wage AAPI workers. Figure 2 shows changes in hourly wages of the 90th and the 10th percentile for AAPI and white workers from 1989 through 2018. In almost three decades, AAPI workers experienced nearly a 22 percent increase in wage inequality, while white workers experienced close to a 9 percent increase.
[1] Asian American and Pacific Islanders here exclude any individuals that also report Hispanic origin. Any mixed races with AAs or PIs are also excluded from this analysis. AAs do not include individuals that self-identify as PIs.

Q: React dynamically add x amount of select boxes for filtering data I have an app that has various select box filters across different screens.
I'm populating the filters using json object which i'm passing down through components.
here is the link to the sandbox https://codesandbox.io/s/ym5qyjj5jv
The problems i'm having are
1) i want to hook up state from page.js so i can set the value for each filter and then when the user clicks reset update that state. The main problem is getting the state as prop in searchbar.js
i have the state name in the json i'm using to generate the filters so i'm wanting to write this.props.[variable] but this doesn't work
2) Any other tips would be great

A: I got it working, see the link in the question.
In page.js i passed the state (...this.state)
 <SearchBar
          onChange={this.onChange}
          onReset={this.onReset}
          filters={filters}
          {...this.state}
        />

Then in searchBar.js when i'm looping through the filter json i can then get the prop
value={this.props[filter[1].name]}

If anyone else has a better way of doing this then let me know

Un relâche (nom masculin – du verbe relâcher) désigne, en langage théâtral, la fermeture momentanée d'une salle en exploitation ou l'interruption momentanée des représentations.

Le relâche peut avoir diverses causes :
 un événement national comme le décès d'un grand personnage public, d'un souverain ou d'un chef d'État, ou encore une calamité naturelle
 une circonstance imprévue, comme l'indisposition ou la disparition d'un acteur principal.
 les répétitions du spectacle suivant

Dans ces cas, le relâche pouvait durer plusieurs jours, voire plusieurs semaines.

Depuis le , les théâtres ont pris l'habitude de « faire relâche » un jour par semaine (généralement le lundi, le dimanche étant un jour de représentation).

Une relâche (nom féminin – substantif verbal de relâcher) est un terme marin  qui désigne l'action de relâcher ou séjourner en un point quelconque d'une côté.

Les relâches désignent, en Suisse romande (cantons de Vaud, Fribourg, Valais, mais pas à Genève), les vacances scolaires du mois de février (vacances de ski).

Q: XML not changing in ListView I'm trying to make an example to make the XML dataModel change dinamically in my .qml file (when I click the button) using C++. For that, I'm returning a Qt property (GroupDataModel). But after returning the object, the ListView doesn't change, though I see the model property is returned again.
OBS: If I load it from a XMLDataModel in the .qml, instead of loading in C++ code, it works.
This is my XmlTest.hpp:
#ifndef XmlTest_HPP_
#define XmlTest_HPP_

#include <QObject>
#include <bb/cascades/GroupDataModel>

namespace bb { namespace cascades { class Application; }}

class XmlTest : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT
    Q_PROPERTY(bb::cascades::GroupDataModel* model READ model NOTIFY onModelChanged);
public:
    XmlTest(bb::cascades::Application *app);
    virtual ~XmlTest() {}

    Q_INVOKABLE
    bb::cascades::GroupDataModel *model();

    Q_INVOKABLE
    void setGroupDataModel();
signals:
    void onModelChanged();
private:
    bb::cascades::GroupDataModel *m_model;
};

#endif /* XmlTest_HPP_ */

and XmlTest.cpp:
#include "XmlTest.hpp"

#include <bb/cascades/Application>
#include <bb/cascades/QmlDocument>
#include <bb/cascades/AbstractPane>
#include <bb/data/XmlDataAccess>

using namespace bb::cascades;
using namespace bb::data;

XmlTest::XmlTest(Application *app)
: QObject(app)
{
    m_model = new GroupDataModel();
    qRegisterMetaType<GroupDataModel *>("GroupDataModel *");

    QmlDocument *qml = QmlDocument::create("asset:///main.qml").parent(this);
    qml->setContextProperty("_xmlTest", this);

    AbstractPane *root = qml->createRootObject<AbstractPane>();
    app->setScene(root);
}

GroupDataModel *XmlTest::model()
{
    qDebug("Returning m_model");
    return m_model;
}

void XmlTest::setGroupDataModel()
{
    XmlDataAccess xml;
    QVariant xmlData = xml.load(QDir::currentPath() + "/app/native/assets/models/model.xml");
    m_model->clear();
    m_model->insertList(xmlData.toList());
    qDebug("File loaded");
    emit this->onModelChanged();
}

My main.qml file (just a ListView with a Button):
import bb.cascades 1.0

Page {
    Container {
        id: mainContainer
        layout: DockLayout {}
        ListView {
            id: listView
            dataModel: _xmlTest.model
            //dataModel: XmlDataModel {
            //    source: "models/model2.xml"
            //}
            onDataModelChanged: {
                console.log("Data model changed!");
            }
            listItemComponents: [
                ListItemComponent {
                    type: "user"
                    StandardListItem {
                        title: ListItemData.realname
                        description: ListItemData.name
                    }
                },
                ListItemComponent {
                    type: "option"
                    StandardListItem {
                        title: ListItemData.title
                    }
                }
            ]
        }
        Button {
            text: "Click"
            onClicked: {
                console.log("Trying to load file");
                _xmlTest.setGroupDataModel();
            }
            verticalAlignment: VerticalAlignment.Bottom
            horizontalAlignment: HorizontalAlignment.Center
        }
    }
}

and the XML I'm trying to load:
<root>
    <user name="myUsername" realname="My Real Name"/>
    <option title="Option 1"/>
    <option title="Option 2"/>
    <option title="Option 3"/>
    <option title="Option 4"/>
    <option title="Option 5"/>
</root>

A: Q_INVOKABLE functions are some kind of slots, so they cannot return an object.
You should find the ListView and put the data Model.

*

*Add in the QML after id: objectName: "listview"

*Get the listView in C++: ListView* listView = root->findChild("listView");

*set the DataModel: listView->setDataModel(m_model);

A: You only need your setGroupDataModel() to be Q_INVOKABLE - the others are just property accessors.
But you're misunderstanding the GroupDataModel. You don't want to emit a onModelChanged() unless the model PROPERTY changes. In your case, the PROPERTY hasn't changed, all that has changed is the values in the property. So you don't need the emit onModelChanged(), which should have the new value as a parameter, I think.
So where is the problem?
You need to check that you're reading the data from your XML file properly.
Then you need to read up on the GroupDataModel - if I'm reading it properly, it will only use 'item' and 'header' as the item type, so you ListItemComponents aren't going to be used.
It's a little easier (and will work ;-) if instead of using a GroupDataModel you use an XmlDataModel.
Here's my XmlListView.hpp main class (your XmlTest class):
// Default empty project template
#ifndef XmlListView_HPP_
#define XmlListView_HPP_

#include <QObject>
#include <bb/cascades/XmlDataModel>
#include <bb/cascades/DataModel>

namespace bb { namespace cascades { class Application; }}

class XmlListView : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT
    Q_PROPERTY(bb::cascades::DataModel *model READ model NOTIFY onModelChanged);
public:
    XmlListView(bb::cascades::Application *app);
    virtual ~XmlListView() {}

    bb::cascades::DataModel *model();
    Q_INVOKABLE void setGroupDataModel();

signals:
    void onModelChanged();
private:
    bb::cascades::XmlDataModel *m_model;
};

#endif /* XmlListView_HPP_ */

And the .cpp:
// Default empty project template
#include "XmlListView.hpp"

#include <bb/cascades/Application>
#include <bb/cascades/QmlDocument>
#include <bb/cascades/AbstractPane>

#include <bb/data/XmlDataAccess>

using namespace bb::cascades;
using namespace bb::data;

XmlListView::XmlListView(bb::cascades::Application *app)
: QObject(app)
{
    m_model = new XmlDataModel();

    QmlDocument *qml = QmlDocument::create("asset:///main.qml").parent(this);
    qml->setContextProperty("_xmlTest", this);

    AbstractPane *root = qml->createRootObject<AbstractPane>();
    app->setScene(root);
}

DataModel *
XmlListView::model() {
    return m_model;
}

void
XmlListView::setGroupDataModel() {
    m_model->setSource(QUrl("models/model.xml"));
}

My main.qml, like yours:
import bb.cascades 1.0

Page {
    Container {
        id: mainContainer
        layout: DockLayout {}
        ListView {
            id: listView
            dataModel: _xmlTest.model
            listItemComponents: [
                ListItemComponent {
                    type: "user"
                    StandardListItem {
                        title: ListItemData.realname
                        description: ListItemData.name
                    }
                },
                ListItemComponent {
                    type: "option"
                    StandardListItem {
                        title: ListItemData.title
                    }
                }
            ]

        }
        Button {
            text: "Click"
            onClicked: {
                _xmlTest.setGroupDataModel()
            }
            verticalAlignment: VerticalAlignment.Bottom
            horizontalAlignment: HorizontalAlignment.Center
        }

    }
}

And the .xml model file is the same as yours.
To really understand where you were going wrong, you need to examin ehte data loading from the XmlDataAccess class. I've still not quite worked it out - and I'm afraid I've got no more time right now - but I tried, in my constructor:
qDebug() << "==========================================================";
XmlDataAccess xml;
QVariant xmlData = xml.load(QDir::currentPath() + "/app/native/assets/models/model.xml");
if (xml.hasError()) {
    qDebug(xml.error().errorMessage().toAscii());
} else {
    QVariantList list = xmlData.toList();
    qDebug() << "list len = " << list.size();
}
qDebug() << "==========================================================";

Watching my debug log, I see that the list len = 0, so this code isn't successfully reading anything from the XML. As I say, I've not yet worked out how to get it working. Homework assignment? (please post when you work it out)
All the best,
C

A: If what you really want is to display the 'user' data as a header, then you can use the exact code suggested by @craigmj in his answer to get your data into the model, but just change the definition of the ListItemComponent in your main.qml to use Header instead of StandardListItem.  I've provided the entire ListView below, which you should be able to just drop into your main.qml. Header is documented here.
    ListView {
        id: listView
        dataModel: _xmlTest.model

        onDataModelChanged: {
            console.log("Data model changed!");
        }
        listItemComponents: [
            ListItemComponent {
                type: "user"
                Header {
                    title: ListItemData.realname
                    subtitle: ListItemData.name
                }
            },
            ListItemComponent {
                type: "option"
                StandardListItem {
                    title: ListItemData.title
                }
            }
        ]
    }


Are you thinking of becoming more physically active but you are afraid increasing your activity will cause pain? You have heard that physical therapy can help but sometimes is painful.
The physical therapist's will start by evaluating how you ARE moving and find the problem areas compared to what would be your ideal movement.
The first step is the therapist sits down to meet you. Imagine you are in the physical therapy office, the therapist will take you back to a evaluation room or area and begin by asking you questions about how you were hurt (if you were or not), where you are hurt and other questions about your history. Importantly, the therapist should ask you what YOU expect out of physical therapy, in other words what is YOUR goal?
After the therapist has met you understood your concerns, history and expectations, he or she will ask to change into clinic appropriate clothing if necessary. For example, if you have an ankle problem the therapist may ask you to pull up your slacks or skirt above the knees so she can see HOW you move below the hip. The therapist may want you to change into shorts (which the clinic usually have on hand or you can bring your own) if you have knee, hip or back problems. If you have a shoulder problem the therapist may ask you to change into a gown, open in the back and under the armpit of the bad shoulder. The therapist will then leave the room to allow you to change if it is required.
The therapist now will watch you walk (if you have a lower body problem) or raise your arms (and watch from behind to check your shoulder blade position, motion and strength) if you have an upper body problem. She will check each joint's amount of motion AND strength (unless you are too painful). The therapist will focus in on HOW the motion and strength work together to make you move, either poorly and well. Sometimes you can be sore after an evaluation; the soreness can last for about a day. Tell your therapist if something is painful so he or she doesn't push you too far.
NOW the therapist is ready to come to a conclusion about where your body moves well, and where it needs improvement. The therapist will again sit down with you to explain the findings and educate you about your condition. The therapist will show you pictures of the anatomy, and what your specific problem is.
On this visit or at the beginning of the next visit the therapist will start you on an exercise program to begin to correct the problem, and probably use specific massage or joint stretching techniques to loosen tight, guarded or spasmed muscles. A few exercises may hurt and if they might but are necessary the therapist will tell you in advance. Most exercises should not hurt and if you have pain with your exercises, please tell your therapist.
If your pain is on the lower end, you will probably be seen about 1 time per week, so the therapist can make the exercises harder as you gain more movement and strength. If you have had a recent surgery, you may need to come more often, or if you have a higher level of pain.
There is good news AND bad news: the good news is you have the power to improve your problem by doing the exercises the therapist gives you and the bad news is you have to do the exercises to get better.
Usually you will get better in about 8 – 10 visits if you have a lower level of pain to start with. If you have had recent surgery or more severe injury you may need therapy for 2-3 months. Either way, your progress will be gradual, and sometimes almost imperceptible. You used to have pain when you walked for 2 miles, now you don't hurt after 2 miles. You used to have pain bringing in your groceries, now you don't.
Physical Therapy sounds scary and the good news is it is usually not painful and can get you back to where you want to be!


Not much changed in this room until I replaced the curtains at the end of last year. I loved the yellow ticking curtains, but they didn't have enough visual impact. They blended in with the walls too much. So I replaced them with a pair of woven panels (Nate Berkus – Target). We have the same curtains in the master bedroom and I love them. I love the texture and the color is perfect. Unfortunately they don't come in a longer size so I had to take the hem out for them to hit the floor. I'm thinking that maybe I should switch out the rod with a darker one too? What do you guys think?
So other than that, nothing else really changed until I was vacuuming a few weeks ago and noticed how shabby our rug was starting to look. In general, I'd say that our rug has held up really well over the past 4 years. It's held up to years of wear from two big dogs, plus a few foster dogs and our newest doggie addition. It's starting to show it age now though. There's some bare spots in high traffic areas and the white parts are not as bright as they used to be.
I started searching for a new rug a couple weeks ago during Rug USA's Memorial Day sale. I've been obsessed with this Distressed Persian rug (in blue) for months, so I thought for sure that's what I would end up buying. BUT, after a bit more searching I completely fell for the Chroma Faded Gothic Medallion rug (in grey, of course). I read tons of reviews and looked at all of the customer pictures before pushing the buy button. In the end I couldn't resist the price and positive feedback.
It arrived a couple weeks ago and we finally unrolled it this weekend. I love it! I was nervous about how it would look in person, but the pattern and colors are perfect. It's so pretty! And it's not a loop rug, so it should hold up to doggie nails better than our last one and the color will definitely hide dirt better.
Other than that, I need new pillows for the couch. Our current ones don't match the rug and are getting a little worn too. I don't change my pillows out every season and we actually use them when we watch TV, so they get a lot of wear all year long. With the busy design of the rug, I wanted to keep the pillows simple, so I ordered three of these navy covers. The pattern is subtle enough to not compete with the rug, but is more exciting than plain navy.
So that's our living room refresh plan. Hopefully I can get everything pulled together soon so I can share an update within the next month or so. I can't wait to see how it all looks together!
I love that rug! I've been looking for a new one for our living room too. It's such a high traffic area for people and the dog. The rug is so light that it shows everything! I love that the colors and pattern of that rug will help hide dirt. And i love how you can pull so many colors from it to add to the room.


Helen Violet Leys, 96, of Watertown, quietly passed away on Sunday, November 11, 2018. Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, November 17, 2018 at Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church in Watertown. Burial will follow at Immanuel Lutheran Cemetery.
Friends and family may visit preceding the funeral service. Visitation will begin at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, November 17, 2018.
Helen was born on July 29, 1922 in Brantwood, Wisconsin and is the daughter of the late Axel and Hilda (nee Niemi) Halkola. She married Wilbert Leys on June 4, 1955 in Chicago, Illinois.
Helen moved from Brantwood to Chicago upon graduating from high school, where she worked for Motorola in its accounting department. She later used these skills in preparing tax returns in the Watertown area.
Upon moving to Watertown in 1955 and giving birth to their children, Helen devoted her life to raising them and creating a loving home. Helen taught her children the importance of family. Her children's favorite and most vivid memories of their mom are of her love for them and how she showed this love in both the small and large things she did and said. When Helen became a grandmother, she cherished being able to help raise a new generation. Helen shared her life with children in the community as a Cub Scout Den Mother, Girl Scout Leader and, later in life, as a kindergarten volunteer at Schurz Elementary School.
Helen is a member of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Watertown and was active in church life.
Helen's survivors include her children: Kathy Kempke; Sue (John) Murack; Randy (Mary) Leys; and Jeff Leys; her grandchildren: Patrick (Chantal), Mark (Kelsey), and Steve (Alyssa) Murack; Megan, Katie and Becca Leys; and her great grandchildren: Jaxton and Eliza Murack. Helen is also survived by two sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends.
Helen will be welcomed into her new life by her parents; her husband; and her two sisters (Hazel and Lila), as well as other close friends and relatives.


Craps has a cornucopia of bets, ranging from the truly awful to the quite good in terms of the house edges. There are any number of ways you can bet the 11 numbers at the game (those 11 numbers being 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12). Some of these ways have low house edges and some — you guessed it! — have high house edges and some — you probably guessed it — have everything in between.
The best bets at the game are pass and come, or don't pass and don't come. All of these bets come in with a house edge of about 1.4% (with the "don't" bets coming in a fraction of a percentage point less).
But many players, indeed a majority of players, are not satisfied with just betting the best bets because they want "action" and such action players will throw out chips on horrible bets in the 9% to 16.67% range. These bets tend to have bigger payouts but those payouts cost the player more in overall losses.
David is a longtime craps player (30 years!), and he is what my mentor the late Captain of craps called "a crazy crapper," as he makes all the worst bets at the game. So why does he do such a thing?
I think many craps players tend to share Lawrence's assessment of craps. Most have no idea of the house edges on the bets they make or what that house edge means in terms of money lost over time. The more the house edge is on a given bet, the more (and quicker) you'll tend to lose over time. That is an indisputable fact.
If you make a bet where the house edge is 10%, that means you will lose $10 for every $100 you wagered on such a bet. Compare that to the pass line or come bets, where the house edge is 1.41%. For either those two bets the loss comes to $1.41 per $100 wagered. The any seven bet comes in with an edge of 16.67% or $16.67 per $100 wagered.
The differences in the various house edges are enormous. The high edges are big dangers to players and can cost them dearly and can often nail them far sooner than playing the pass, come, don't pass and don't come.
Of course, action players can't stay away from the bad bets; I know that, the players know that, and the casino managers know that.
There you have it from two crazy crappers. I don't recommend their betting styles, but it is their money and they can bet it as they wish.

Bend taking public comment on new parking requirements
Friday, November 18th 2022
The City of Bend will be taking public comment about changes in parking requirements when new developments are built.
Here is more in a press release from the city:
Community members will be invited to give input about changes to how parking is required when new development is built. These changes are in response to recently adopted state requirements, known as the Climate Friendly and Equitable Communities, that direct cities to take steps to regulate parking in new ways.
At the Wednesday Nov. 16 Bend City Council meeting, the Council directed staff to draft code language that would remove minimum parking requirements for new development throughout the city. The Council was interested in requirements for accessible parking. Currently, the Bend Development Code often requires developers to build a certain minimum number of parking spaces depending on the use.
RELATED: State offers free park day-use parking, fishing, clamming after Thanksgiving
RELATED: Could parking spaces end new Bend Costco project?
The state mandate, called Climate Friendly and Equitable Communities, directs the City to consider removing parking requirements This mandate is a set of new and amended rules from the State Land Conservation and Development Commission that regulate how development and transportation infrastructure get built into the future. The rules intend to change how cities are built to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as one way to address climate change.
The Department of Land Conservation and Development, the state agency that developed the rules, has outlined some options. The Council on Wednesday indicated interest in pursuing the option that repeals any rules that require developments to have a certain minimum number of parking spaces onsite. Read more about the other options provided by the state here.
The draft code will go before the Bend Planning Commission at 5:30 p.m. on Nov. 28. The Planning Commission will make a recommendation to the City Council, who will receive public input and potentially vote on Dec. 7.
To learn more about Climate Friendly and Equitable Communities and proposed parking changes, visit: Climate-Friendly and Equitable Communities | City of Bend (bendoregon.gov).

Biografia
Atalia (in ebraico = Dio è grande) era figlia di Acab, re d'Israele, della dinastia degli Omridi (in alcuni passi della Bibbia la si chiama "figlia di Omri", che potrebbe significare che era sua discendente, oppure che Acab, figlio di Omri, non era padre bensì fratello di Atalia). Sposò Ioram, re di Giuda, siglando una pace fra i due regni rivali.

Mentre Ioram rimase fedele al culto dell'unico Dio, Atalia era seguace del dio fenicio Baal, così come suo padre. Alla morte di Ioram, sul trono di Gerusalemme salì suo figlio Acazia, il quale regnò per un anno. Acazia si recò a far visita a suo cugino Ioram, re d'Israele, e ivi cadde vittima del colpo di stato condotto dal generale Jehu, il quale sterminò la casata degli Omridi (di cui Acazia, per parte di madre, faceva parte) e si incoronò re al posto di Ioram.

Atalia allora fece assassinare i restanti figli del suo defunto sposo, per assicurarsi il potere sul regno di Giuda. Ma la sua cognata Josheba riuscì a mettere in salvo un bambino di nome Ioas, che fu cresciuto dal sacerdote Ioiada. Sei anni più tardi, Ioiada si accordò con i capi del popolo e il fanciullo fu incoronato re di Giuda nel tempio. Atalia si precipitò nel tempio con le guardie gridando al tradimento, ma di fronte al nuovo re nessuno le obbedì più. Il sacerdote ordinò di non ucciderla, per non  contaminare il tempio con il suo sangue. Ad Atalia non restò che cercare di fuggire verso il palazzo, ma fu inseguita e uccisa presso la "Porta dei cavalli". Dopo la sua morte fu ucciso anche il sacerdote di Baal e furono distrutti i templi degli dei stranieri.

In letteratura
Jean Racine s'ispirò a lei per la sua tragedia intitolata "Athalie" (1691).

You'd think I'd have posted about them enough times on this blog. Hey guess what! The Pet Shop Boys have a new record coming out and I hear it's bloody fantastic! Actually I can't refer to them as the Pet Shop Boys anymore, can I? Rumour has it that they were going to switch their name to the Rescue Shelter Boys at the request of PETA. Kind of puts a crimp on the US release, now doesn't it? At any rate, Love Etc is number two on the Billboard US Dance Chart while Yes in the UK debuted at #4 on the album charts. That said, the question remains… After all the hubbub and posting and praise, is the new Pet Shop Boys any good?
The record starts off with a bang with the first single. I think you all know how I feel about this track but in case this is the first time here I will try to keep it brief. The song is simply one of the best songs the PSB have written. Why? There are hooks everywhere. From the whimsical verses to the call and response chorus. You don't just like the song. You fall victim to it. Simply as close to a perfect pop song as you can get from a band who is as good as anybody at writing them.
If you're going to follow up a stunner like Love Etc, it had better bring the force with it. They don't come much harder than All Over The World. Oh, those handclaps and the majestic lead segueing into the verses that fill my heart with glee! The song itself is a call to arms, a call to stop what you're doing, to stop hating and stressing and simply celebrate. Only Neil Tennant can get away with writing a song this jubilant that doesn't fall into the depths of melted Velveeta and only Chris Lowe can add the proper punctuation mark.
With a gentle strum of the guitar by Mr. Marr, we then fast-forward to a mid-tempo stunner. A personal highlight of the record. DYSMC is simply a classic pop song. An arresting pop song that reminds you of the highs found on the classic Very. This is simply a song that dares you to sit still while listening. It won't be long before you're up dancing and swaying your arms in the air in glee. This song begs to be a single.
"You know I can't ever bear to seem weak or have any doubts. That's just my technique. I put in the hours, at least I don't shirk A little bravado does much of the work". Another lyrical gem from one of the best lyricists in pop music within the last 30 years. A mid-tempo ballad where the guard is let down and Neil lays it on the line. No more games. No more pretense. Here he is…come and get him! The most stripped down song on record with a steady motorik beat and some simple strumming from Marr. This is Neil's show and Chris drops the beat and simply gets out of the way.
Or more simply the sound of being at peace and feeling completely immersed in the music on the dance floor. HI-NRG lite here. A straight-ahead dance number which drives home the point of the record to this point. This is an upbeat record where the PSB are reclaiming the title of being pop songwriters extraordinaire. George Michael should be doing a facepalm right about…now. He used to write this type of song in his sleep.
What? What's this? A vocal cameo from Chris Lowe? It simply cannot be! We've got a bit of a political anthem on BAW continuing a trend started on the previous record, Fundamental, with a track like Integral. Much like Integral, BAW doesn't fall into the trap of being agit-prop but it does get the point across as you're being seduced by the melody. Not a stunner like many of the songs preceding it on the record but not a clunker by any stretch either. Think of it as somewhat of a breather before the slap you're about to receive a little later.
Aptly titled. Another one from the PSB template that no other band can match. The straightforward, head down, gate-crashing pop anthem. They take another page from the Very playbook here and once again come up aces with another single-worthy track. Word is this was written for Kylie Minogue to record but she never got back to them whether she wanted it or not. Her loss. She could use this song right about now. No matter. Her version would have fallen way short of the majesty of the PSB version we have here.
or a reminder that almost twenty years later, Behaviour, really is a classic record. The penultimate track on the record is also the finest. So sad. So cloaked in despair. So entrancing. So irresistable. To put it simply, Neil and Chris take no prisoners here. Neil with all the desperation he can muster in his voice soars and Chris once again sets the stage by leaving no frills and letting Neil have the floor as he tries to come to grips with a relationship past its crisis point and well on its way to crumbling at his feet. Have you ever felt like dancing simply because sitting down was too painful as it allowed your brain to replay all the memories you can't repress fast enough? This is your soundtrack.
"That Carphone Warehouse boy has been on the phone – He wants to upgrade the mobile you own – Have you realised your computer's a spy?" The record comes to a close with a comment on the hysteria and paranoia we've been subject to and are guilty of falling prey to as a society. The highlight here is the middle eight section with a little pomp and circumstance thrown in for effect as Neil sings a bit of French for our ears.
It must be said that the MVP of Yes is Xenomania, the producers of the record led by Brian Higgins. What they did here was not so much infuse their style on Neil and Chris but become the perfect foil by bringing back the essence and strength of what made the PSB the pop icons they are. By mining bits and pieces of the past triumphs and adding a new pop sheen over it, we bear witness to a match made in pop heaven. What's more astounding is the balance that is kept. The record is very poppy but doesn't feel like it. It simply sounds like a PSB record or even better yet, a greatest hits record made up of songs you hadn't heard but still feel familiar because the footprints of the classic PSB catalogue are sprinkled throughout making it perfect for old fans to reaffirm their love for the band and for new fans to see why the eighties were the last essential decade for musical innovation and evolution and no one else has done a better job of remaining as relevant and the chamelonic ability to change with the times as Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe.
This just might be their best record they've ever done.
It is high time. After all the hubbub. The blathering and blabbering. It's time. Once and for all, the question must be answered. Is Years Of Refusal any good? Does the Mozfather still have it? Friends. I put Morrissey in the limelight and under the microscope!
The record leads off in a big way with Skull. Short and sweet, it's one of those songs Morrissey can write in his sleep. Self-deprecation and despair put to paper with his brand of sardonic wit and a smirk on his face. This track should be a single and features one of his better vocal performances. The band is in fine form here as well.
The music belies a more somber, poignant lyric. The pressures of society beating a mother down until the final solution is pursued. Asleep, this is not. A defiant Moz promises revenge and shows empathy for Mother's plight. A solid track, to be sure.
Featuring guitar legend Jeff Beck on the axe, Cloud is the last of the three rockers to start the album. The name of the game is unrequited love. A subject Moz knows all too well and that we all have felt in our lives and most likely still do. No one writes about it quite like the Moz with a line such as "I can choke myself to please you and I can sink much lower than usual but there's nothing I can do to make you mine".
The lead single. Another tale of woe and another lover never to be. Do we sense a pattern? That's okay because the melody is lovely and the band (whom I'm never been a fan of regardless of lineup) simply offers a beautiful bed for Morrissey to find comfort in only to come to the harsh realisation that only stone and steel accept his love. This one could very well down as one of his most-loved songs over time.
If you own 2008's Greatest Hits, then you already know this song as it was one of two singles tacked on in the endless quest for your dollar. The song itself is Morrissey-by-numbers but it's not a bad thing. Much like Something Is Squeezing My Skull, it's a song he writes from rote memory but the execution and the delivery are what nails it. He's done it before but with lines such as "I was a small, fat child in a council house There was only one thing I ever dreamed about And Fate has just Handed it to me – whoopee", it's really hard to quibble. It was a solid as a single and it's a highlight here.
One of the best performances by the band on this one. Adding a bit of a Spanish lilt adds to this deathly tale. Interesting lyric by Moz on this one. A memory of a c0nversation between he and "Carol" which ends in his saying goodbye at her funeral. Another tale of unrequited love but this time from the other person's point of view? One of my favourites on the record.
The second of the two singles from last year's Greatest Hits along with the aforementioned All You Need Is Me. Not as well-received when released but the criticism is not completely warranted. Not a skip-over track but it is one where the hook doesn't grab you as much as the other album tracks do. A bit reminiscent lyrically of Stop Me If YouThink You've Heard This One Before.
A stern warning from Moz. Be careful who you hurt for life is fleeting and you may never have a chance to say you're sorry. Another stellar performance by the band. So vibrant, so bold. It's a favourite and definitely a single possibility!
"All the gifts that they gave can't compare in any way to the love I am now giving to you right here right now on the floor". Oh really, Steven? What are you trying to tell us here? I don't know but to me this song is carrying on from a trend begun in Dear God Please Help Me from Ringleader Of The Tormentors of Morrissey being a bit more direct and self-referential in terms of his sexual desires. It's quite refreshing and adds a new dimension to his lyrical oeuvre not quite seen before.
A slow song about what else but death. A lament for the dearly deaprted set against a reflective backdrop. Interesting placement in the tracklisting as it almost lulls you into a sort of dreamlike state before you're brought back to attention by the songs that follow. Solid piece.
A rocking tune where have our hero giving a former friend (lover, perhaps) the hand. Angry Moz is a good Moz.
The album comes to a close with one of its more rockier tracks and some of the best lyrics as well. "Could this be an arm around my waist? Well, surely the hand contains a knife?" or "Then came an arm around my shoulder Well surely the hand holds a revolver?" are two of examples of why Morrissey is one of the greatest lyricists pop music has ever known. The song itself could have been featured on Ringleader but does have it's own charm especially as a book-end along with Something Is Squeezing My Skull. An affirmation that he's not going anywhere and that he still has a way of getting underneath the skin of his detractors and into the hearts of a devoted fanbase.
The verdict? This is as solid a Morrissey record as they come. Is it his best? Hard to say. It's definitely better than the disappointing Ringleader that came before it. It shows a Morrissey who appears to be not quite ready to go off the dark night of retirement as he turns fifty in May. Some of his best melodies are found in spades here along with the same vitriol and wit that fist made him a phenomenon 26 years ago with Hand In Glove. In other words, the king is back.
