Q: Using controlsfx GridView containing list of GridPane I am learning JavaFx and building a sample app that would display a list of restaurant menu items in a scroll-able way. I figured out the best way to do this is using GridView control from controlsfx because even with the large set of menu items the scroll would work fast. Here is a sample code that I am trying to make it work:
public class Main extends Application {
    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
        try {
            VBox root = new VBox();
            Scene scene = new Scene(root,400,400);
            scene.getStylesheets().add(getClass().getResource("application.css").toExternalForm());
            primaryStage.setScene(scene);

            ObservableList<GridPane> list = FXCollections.<GridPane>observableArrayList();
            GridView<GridPane> gridView = new GridView<>(list);

            gridView.setCellFactory(new Callback<GridView<GridPane>, GridCell<GridPane>>() {
                 public GridCell<GridPane> call(GridView<GridPane> gridView) {
                     return new GridCell<GridPane>();
                 }
             });

            Label lblName1 = new Label("Name");
            GridPane grid = new GridPane();
            grid.addRow(0, lblName1);

            Label lblName2 = new Label("Price");
            grid.addRow(1, lblName2);

            list.add(grid);

            root.getChildren().add(gridView);
            primaryStage.show();
        } catch(Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }
}

When I run the code above it only shows the VBox with no item. I have tried to replicate the sample code given on controlsfx website on using GridView (http://controlsfx.bitbucket.org/org/controlsfx/control/GridView.html).
Any help/tip would be much appreciated. Thanks.

A: Figured out the problem and here is the correct code. I needed to write the custom GridPane (for dsplaying menu items) and the cell factory for generating the custom object.

The AFI Conservatory is authorized under federal law to enroll nonimmigrant students.
Please note: An I-20 cannot be issued without the receipt of the minimum TOEFL or IELTS score requirement or qualifying exemption.
If English is NOT your country of citizenship's native language, and you are NOT a U.S. citizen or legal resident of the U.S. with an Alien Registration Number, you must submit a TOEFL or an IELTS score or be exempt as described below.
Applicants must submit a TOEFL score of at least 100 (internet-based) or an IELTS score of 7.0. Test scores must reflect tests taken within 24 months of submission. Please allow for appropriate time for test scheduling. We must receive test scores by the deadline dates described in the Admissions Requirements.
TOEFL/IELTS EXEMPTION REQUEST: Level of English language competency, as it relates to admission into the AFI Conservatory, will be determined by, and is at the discretion of, the Admissions Committee. Applicants may be exempt if an undergraduate degree program that includes English Composition and Literature or its equivalent, or two semesters of non-remedial English Composition and Literature, or an intensive English program (minimum one year) with results that equal the TOEFL or IELTS requirements, has/have been successfully completed in the United States or other English-speaking country. A master's degree program will not be considered for an exemption unless it includes the above English courses.
Please do not assume that you are exempt based on the criteria above. All transcripts will be evaluated for exemption by the Registrar's Office for admissions purposes. We highly encourage all international applicants to receive exemption approval prior to applying to attend the AFI Conservatory. To request an exemption, please email [email protected] with the subject line TOEFL EXEMPTION REQUEST. Please include PDFs of your transcripts to be evaluated.
TRANSCRIPTS: For international applicants, all credentials and transcripts must include an original (no copies) plus an official English translation (if applicable). The Registrar determines final evaluation of applicants' records.
FINANCIAL VERIFICATION: The total cost of first year tuition, fees and living expenses for 2019–2020 is estimated at $88,270. International Fellows must be able to show financial verification for the first year of study. Note: AFTER acceptance, international applicants will be asked to provide financial verification to cover the full cost of tuition, fees and living expenses for the first year to enable the AFI Conservatory to issue an I-20 to obtain the F1 student visa. If bringing dependents, an additional $4,390 per dependent, per year, is added to the overall budget. Please note: spouses on the F2 visa are not allowed to pursue employment or attend a college degree or certificate program.
Visa processing times vary by consulate and typically take from one to four weeks. Please be advised that processing times may be longer due to individual circumstances. Visas may only be issued in the originating country; visas cannot be issued in the United States. Accepted International Fellows must finalize planning for the entire length of the program to avoid financial difficulties in the Second Year. Independent sources of scholarships may be researched on the AFI Conservatory website. It is highly recommended to begin searches as soon as possible. Information on how to obtain a visa will be sent upon acceptance to the AFI Conservatory.
Applicants who are pursuing the Master of Fine Arts degree from the AFI Conservatory and who have completed a program outside the U.S. must submit a bachelor's degree equivalency document upon acceptance into the program. If the applicant does not intend to receive the Master of Fine Arts degree, an evaluation is not required and a Certificate of Completion would be awarded at the successful completion of the program. Final approval is at the discretion of the Registrar.
Request only a document-to-document evaluation; the average cost is between $75 and $80. The applicant provides the agency the documents requested. The AFI Conservatory does not do credentials evaluations.
There are other organizations that provide similar services; if one is chosen, please check with the Registrar's Office first to verify its accreditation.
Once the evaluation has been received by the Registrar's Office, the results will be officially posted to the Fellow's record.

See Eligibility on the Eligibility & Programs page.
Application Review Process
Step 1arrowarrow bg
LRP Review
DLR reviews each application to ensure it is complete and meets all general eligibility requirements. Applications that are incomplete – including those missing supplemental information, such as recommendations and institutional certification – as of the applicable deadline will not be considered for further review.
NIH Institute or Center Assignment
Applications are forwarded to the NIH Center for Scientific Review (CSR).
CSR will then assign applications for the Clinical Research, Pediatric Research, and Health Disparities Research LRPs to the most appropriate NIH Institute or Center (IC) for review. The IC assignment can be viewed in the LRP Online Application System once CSR makes the assignment, which typically takes place by the end of January. Applicants who wish to have a different IC review their application must submit a request to lrp@nih.gov. IC reassignment is not guaranteed.
Applications for the Clinical Research LRP for Individuals from Disadvantaged Backgrounds go to the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) for review, and applications to the Contraception and Infertility Research LRP go to the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute on Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) for review.
NIH Institute or Center/Peer Review
IC staff review each application for responsiveness. Applications determined to be responsive are assigned for peer review and evaluated according to the following criteria:
Applicant's potential to pursue a career in research, including the following:
Development toward becoming, or continuing as, an independent investigator;
Assessment of Research Accomplishments;
Appropriateness of the applicant's previous training and experience to prepare for a research career;
Appropriateness of the proposed research activities during the LRP award and how it will foster a career in research;
Commitment to a research career, reflected by things such as the personal statement of long-term career goals and the plan to achieve those goals; and
Strength of the letters of recommendations attesting to the applicant's potential for a successful career in research.
Quality of the overall environment to prepare the applicant for a research career, including:
Appropriateness and availability of equipment, patient care and services, and location to conduct the proposed research; and
Availability of colleagues, or collaborators if needed, to conduct the proposed research.
Select applicants will be notified on a rolling basis by email to provide updated payoff quotes for all loans listed in the LRP Portal. Applicants must submit a screenshot or printout of the account statement to DLR. To complete Financial Review, the document(s) must contain the following information:
The awardee's name;
Lender information;
Loan type (e.g., Stafford, Perkins, etc.);
Date the account statement was generated, within 30 days of DLR-email receipt;
Current payoff quote (i.e., a quote from the lender detailing the dollar amount necessary to satisfy the full terms of each loan as of today, including all interest associated with the loan); and
Date the payoff quote expires (i.e., the date through which the payoff quote is valid).
LRP applicants should carefully review the Loan Detail Page for more information.
Extramural LRP renewal awards can be one- or two-years.
The calculations below are approximations and for example purposes only.
Renewal award applicants must have eligible educational debt of at least $2,000 at the contract start date to apply for a renewal award.
Payments are made on a quarterly basis, starting with the highest priority loan per DLR guidelines. See a full list of the loan priority order.
If a loan is paid-in-full before the end of a contract, subsequent quarterly payments will be directed to the loan with the next highest priority.
One-Year Renewal Awards
The repayment amount is equal to one-half of the eligible educational debt at the contract start date, up to $50,000 per year.
If the eligible educational debt at the contract start date is less than $10,000, then the repayment amount is equal to the full amount of the remaining eligible debt. For example, if the eligible educational debt at the contract start date is $9,999, then the repayment amount is $9,999.
Two-Year Renewal Awards
In year one, the repayment amount is equal to one-half of the eligible educational debt at the contract start date, up to $50,000.
In year two, the repayment amount is equal to one-half of the year-one repayment, up to $50,000. For example, if the eligible educational debt is $60,000 at the contract start date, then the repayment amount in the first year of renewal is $30,000 and the repayment amount in the second year of renewal is $15,000.
If the eligible educational debt at the contract start date is less than $10,000, then the applicant will only be considered for a one-year renewal award.
There is no limit on the number of renewal awards an LRP awardee can receive. Successful renewal award applicants may continue to apply for, and potentially recieve, subsequent competitive renewal awards until the entire balance of their qualified educational debt is repaid.
Use the repayment calculator to estimate the amount of an LRP renewal award.
Contractual Obligations
A renewal LRP award is either a one- or two-year contract that starts on July 1 in the year after the application deadline. Awardees are expected to meet the terms and conditions of the LRP award for the entire contract period.
Applicants must conduct qualified research for the duration of an LRP award, and an authorized official (Institutional Business Official; IBO) at the applicant's institution must certify that there will be paid, protected research time for the applicant to devote to these activities during award period. It is helpful for an applicant to contact their IBO directly and discuss the length of the renewal award requested.
The length of award is ultimately determined by the NIH Institute or Center (IC) that funds the renewal award, based on the ICs budget/funding priorities.
Qualified research is not retroactive. Any research performed prior to the start date of an LRP award contract will not count toward the research service obligation required.
Change of Institution
It is the responsibility of award recipients to notify LRP immediately if there is a pending change in employment. LRP awardees must submit a Change of Institution (COI) application to be considered for continuation in the Program. A COI applicant must meet all LRP eligibility criteria, and COI requests are subject to final approval by the NIH Institute or Center that funded the LRP award. Approval of COIs is not guaranteed.
Family leave can include maternity, paternity, parental, and adoption leaves. Paid family leave may be used during an LRP award. Any unpaid leave, even if covered under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), may result in a reduced quarterly payment. Awardees must make payments to lenders on their own behalf for periods of Leave Without Pay (LWOP).
Online Application Period
Supporting Documentation Period
IC & Peer Review Period
Financial Review Period
Notification Period
Individuals should determine whether to apply as an independent researcher or a mentored research scientist (e.g., mentored scientists are generally funded by another investigator's grant), which may be different from prior applications/awards. Since the Institutes and Centers (ICs) apply varying criteria to these categories, applicants are encouraged to contact the most appropriate LRP IC Liaison(s) for guidance before beginning the application. The list of LRP IC Liaisons can be found on the Contact & Engage page.
There are many attachments requested during the online application process. The table below lists the required attachments, organized by type of document, who needs to submit it, and researcher type (i.e., mentored research scientist or independent researcher).
In addition, applicants must have:
An Institutional Business Official (IBO) to verify eligibility and employment;
A minimum of three reference letters, but no more than five will be accepted. For mentored research scientists, one of the reference letters must be from the mentor; and
An Assessment of Research Accomplishments (including an assessment of progress toward becoming/continuing as an independent researcher).
For guidance on selecting an IBO and referees/recommenders, please see the Institutional Business Official section as well as the Referees/Recommenders section of our website.
Renewal LRP applications are competitive and submission of a renewal application does not assure the award of loan repayment.

Trump and the Constitution: A year in review and our coverage
January 26, 2018 by Lana Ulrich
In the year since President Trump's inauguration on January 20, 2017, a myriad of constitutional issues has so far arisen during his term. This has led some legal journalists like the New York Times's Adam Liptak to note that "President Trump is transforming the study of constitutional law."
The National Constitution Center has closely tracked these constitutional controversies, and offered nonpartisan analysis and commentary as well as nonpartisan educational resources about them. We the People podcast also just hosted a debate between Lisa Manheim and Josh Blackman reviewing one year of President Trump and the Constitution.
Foreign or Domestic Emoluments Clauses
President Trump's extensive global business empire prompted several lawsuits brought by various litigants arguing that Trump's business holdings violate the Foreign or Domestic Emoluments Clauses. These lawsuits have alleged that the President has violated the Clauses due to his failure to divest his business holdings in Trump hotels and other private enterprises.
In one of the lawsuits, CREW v. Trump, the government's motion to dismiss the lawsuit was recently granted after District Court Judge George Daniels found that the plaintiffs lacked standing. A new lawsuit, however, has been filed by the D.C. and Maryland attorneys general, D.C. and Maryland v. Trump, and a separate lawsuit was filed by members of Congress.
In January 2017, We the People hosted a podcast on the filing of the CREW case, featuring Brianne Gorod and Andy Grewal; in October 2017 the NCC hosted a second podcast on the issue with Josh Blackman (who filed amicus briefs in the cases on behalf of scholar Seth Barrett Tilllman, an Interactive Constitution contributor, arguing that the President is not covered by the Foreign Emoluments Clause as he is not someone who holds "office under the United States"), and Jed Sugerman. The Interactive Constitution also features explanations of the Foreign Emoluments Clause of Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 by Seth Barrett Tillman and Zephyr Teachout.
Trump's Executive Orders on immigration
President Trump has issued several immigration orders, ranging from those regulating immigration into the United States as well as those regulating immigrants already present in the country. Legal challenges have cropped up nationwide against these orders.
Just last week, the Supreme Court agreed to hear a challenge against one of Trump's immigration orders, an order regulating travel by nationals from six mostly Middle Eastern countries. (The first iteration of the order, issued only a few days after President Trump took office, was soon replaced by other versions after federal judges ruled against it.) In the pending case, Hawaii v. Trump, Hawaii claims that President Trump imposed an unconstitutional "Muslim ban" when he ordered strict limits on entry into the country by foreign nationals from nations with Muslim-majority populations. The suit alleges the president violated several constitutional provisions, including the First Amendment's Establishment Clause. In February 2017 We the People podcast featured a debate on the order between Peter Spiro and Anil Kalhan on this issue.
There has also been controversy surrounding a second Executive Order signed by President Trump promising to withhold federal money from what it called "sanctuary jurisdictions," or sanctuary cities. Cities across the country, from San Francisco to Philadelphia, have sued arguing the order violates federalism principles. In November 2017, a federal judge ruled in Philadelphia's favor, and other cases are pending. In May 2017, We the People podcast featured Cristina Rodriguez and Elizabeth Price Foley to discuss the sanctuary cities debate.
A third immigration-related issue is whether the Trump administration's rescission of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program presents any constitutional issues. The rescission was challenged in federal court, and District Court Judge William Alsup ordered the Trump administration to keep the DACA program in place, ruling that the rescission was based on based "on a flawed legal premise." However, some scholars have argued that since the program was enacted by executive order, Trump is legally able to dismantle it with executive order, and the move to rescind DACA represents a return to separation of powers, because DACA was unconstitutional from the start. The Supreme Court recently granted the government's request to expedite review of the case.
Dismantling the administrative state
President Trump ran on a platform of shrinking the size of the federal administrative state, and since in office, he has sought to deregulate a variety of industries. The issue is whether Trump's deregulatory policies may have implicated any constitutional issues.
Some scholars like Lisa Manheim on the recent We the People podcast suggest that the President may have to act in conjunction with Congress to repeal certain regulations or to regulate agencies in certain ways, or otherwise violate separate of powers principles. But others like Josh Blackman have noted that "the three planks of the Trumpian Constitution — delegation, due process, and deference" actual ratchet down the President's power, thereby reversing the tide of ever-increasing executive power.
Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation
In May 2017, Robert Mueuller was appointed Special Counsel to investigate allegations of Russian meddling and collusion in the 2016 election. Issues have arises as to whether Mueller's investigation may result in any criminal charges against the president (e.g., for obstruction of justice for firing former FBI Director James Comey) but if so, whether these charges can be constitutionally brought. Another issue is whether Mueller's findings might lead to proceedings brought by Congress under the Impeachment Clause and if so, how those proceedings may be constitutionally initiated.
We the People hosted a podcast in June 2017 with Alan Dershowitz and Laura Donohue on the constitutional issues involved in Mueller's investigation of President Trump and what constitutes "obstruction of justice," and a second podcast in December, with Sai Prakash and Laura Donohue, which looked at updates in the ongoing investigation, and whether new constitutional issues may have been raised by new developments, including calls by some in Congress to pass legislation to insulate Mueller from potentially being fired by President Trump.
The Twenty-Fifth Amendment
Controversies over Trump's words, actions, and behaviors have led some critics to express concern for his ability to govern and to call for his removal via the procedures outlines in Section 4 of the Twenty-Fifth Amendment, which provides for the involuntary removal of the president if he is "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office."
NCC President and CEO Jeffrey Rosen wrote an article for The Atlantic, "The 25th Amendment Makes Presidential Disability a Political Question," analyzing the history of the Amendment's ratification and how it might be applied today. The Interactive Constitution explainers on the Amendment by Brian Kalt and David Pozen also offer a nonpartisan summary of this important constitutional provision relating to presidential disability and succession.
The scope of the pardon power
There have been issues raised concerning whether Trump's controversial pardon of Sheriff Arpaio, an Arizona sheriff who was found guilty of criminal contempt for his interrogation methods with illegal immigrants, violates rule of law norms. And in light of the Mueller investigation, some commentators have brought up questions surrounding the president's ability to pardon himself. A podcast in September 2017 between Brian Kalt and Margaret Love examined these issues in detail.
Trump's use of Twitter and the First Amendment
Trump's use of Twitter as a medium of communication has presented interesting cultural, political, and legal issues, including whether his Tweets may be interpreted by courts as official statements. It has even been said to implicate First Amendment issues—for instance, through President Trump's decision to block some users from his Twitter feed after critical remarks against him were made. A podcast debate between Alex Abdo and Eugene Volokh in August 2017 discussed Trump's use of Twitter and the First Amendment.
As President Trump's second year of office begins, these constitutional issues remain as salient as ever.

Impact.js creator's Letter to John Carmack
After watching the Quakecon 2012 keynote by Game-dev god John Carmack, Impact.js creator Dominic Szablewski felt like responding to John's views on WebGL and JavaScript with a letter.
He's posted the letter on this blog, which makes a number of good points, which can be summed up by the final line:
"Don't hate JavaScript. It's our generation's Apple II."
What he means by this is that the ease with which people got into programming on the Apple II is paralleled by the development environment provided by the browser, which is installed on billions of computers worldwide and makes development accessible to anyone with having to download or configure a dev environment.
It's a great letter (stay away from the comments though, as a lot of them miss the point) my thoughts are here, in a similar vein.

Vax Populi: Now that COVID Vaccinations Are Underway, What Does That Mean for Display Graphics?
Signage has almost always been one of the most essential means of communicating important messages, which was why wide-format and sign shops early on in the pandemic were considered "essential services." Health and safety messaging was the killer app for display graphics in 2020, and that is going to remain the case for the foreseeable future. Here's what to look for.

SEC football: 4-star WR commits to Mississippi State over LSU, Florida, others
Quincy Brown, of Destrehan, Louisiana, committed to Mississippi State for the class of 2021. He also had offers LSU, Georgia, Florida and Texas A&M.

Check out this story on clarionledger.com: https://www.clarionledger.com/story/sports/2019/08/12/sec-football-mississippi-state-recruiting-quincy-brown-alabama-auburn-lsu-florida-georgia-football/1988939001/
Tyler Horka, Mississippi Clarion Ledger Published 1:21 p.m. CT Aug. 12, 2019 | Updated 12:25 p.m. CT Aug. 13, 2019
Recruit said Alabama was the first school to offer him a scholarship.
He reported that he had offers from more than half of the SEC.
STARKVILLE – The first season of the Joe Moorhead era at Mississippi State was defined by an inconsistent passing game.
Wide receivers play a major role in righting the ship. That's why Moorhead has been hard at work bringing in a new crop of wide outs who can elevate the Bulldog offense to a level it was unable to reach in 2018.
Four-star receiver Quincy Brown of Destrehan, Louisiana, is the latest player to join the movement. Brown, a recruit for the class of 2021, committed to Mississippi State via Twitter on Monday.
He chose the Bulldogs over other Southeastern Conference schools, including LSU, Georgia, Florida, and Texas A&M.
Proud to say I'm committed to Mississippi State 🐶#HailStatepic.twitter.com/3tiqI3TsVH
— Sticks (@Brown1__) August 12, 2019
Brown has good size at 6-foot-3 and 175 pounds. He's ranked as the 33rd-best receiver in the country in the class of 2021 and the seventh-best player in Louisiana, according to 247Sports.
Mississippi State 2021 recruiting class
Brown is the second four-star receiver to commit to Mississippi State in the class of 2021. Deion Smith of Provine High School in Jackson is the other. Smith is rated as the 14th-best receiver in the nation and the No. 1 player in Mississippi, per 247.
Smith and Brown are MSU's only two commits in the 2021 class, but those two players alone have Mississippi State ranked 15th in national recruiting rankings. It's a solid start for what will ultimately be Moorhead's third full recruiting class in Starkville.
In May 2018, Brown posted on Twitter that he received his first scholarship offer from Alabama. Within days, he announced on his account that he had offers from Mississippi State, Georgia and Arkansas. Florida and Tennessee also joined the mix.
Last month, Brown said he had a top six of MSU, LSU, Georgia, Texas A&M, Florida and Colorado.
The near future of MSU receivers
News of Brown's commitment comes just two weeks after Malik Heath, the No. 1 junior college product in the class of 2020, chose Mississippi State as his next stop out of Copiah-Lincoln Community College.
Committed 🐍‼like I said hail damn state🤣‼ pic.twitter.com/pkvTr038kB
— Ugly〽an🤦🏾♂ (@MalikHeath2) July 28, 2019
The more immediate future of the wide receiver position at Mississippi State also has new faces. Graduate transfer Isaiah Zuber, who played previously at Kansas State, and JUCO transfer JaVonta Payton, a Northwest Mississippi Community College product, are expected to have major roles in the offense this season.
Moorhead has made an effort to bolster the receiving corps. If he finds a quarterback he's confident in, the Mississippi State aerial attack that plagued him in Year 1 could improve significantly in successive seasons.

Supporting Donation: Tissue specialist Duncan Cody provides hope to Nova Scotians awaiting life-changing transplants
Thursday, April 11, 2019 - 11:20AM
By Lesley Anne Squarey
Duncan Cody, tissue specialist stands in a room of ultra-low freezers at the regional tissue bank lab which helps keep donated tissues viable for transplant.
Seven years ago, Duncan Cody was finishing a long-term assignment as a medical lab technologist in cytopathology, and was looking for a new job.
Sifting through the online postings, he landed on a wanted ad for a tissue specialist with NSHA's regional tissue bank (RTB) in Halifax. Admittedly, he didn't know exactly what tissue specialists did but the more he read, the more interested he became.
He learned that as a tissue specialist, he'd be supporting some of health care's most urgent transplant programs, which meant he could help change the lives of hundreds of Nova Scotians each year. That's all it took. He clicked apply, and the rest is history.
"I saw potential for growth as a health care professional and the ability to make a true impact," said Cody. "The fact that I could acquire a new set of unique skills; expand my education while helping people, is what ultimately drew me in and I'm happy it did."
As a tissue specialist, Cody supports programs like critical care organ donation, bone marrow transplantation, ophthalmology, neurosurgery, plastics, cardiac surgery, orthopedics and dentistry. A key part of donation and transplant, Cody and his team help facilitate the process – ensuring the quality of a tissue from start to finish.
"Our staff are present at every step of donation and continue to follow grafts after the transplant process," explained Cody. "That often means working with front line staff to identify potential donors, supporting family members or loved ones in their decision to donate, and running necessary tests and follow-ups like monitoring cultures and blood tests to make sure everything is suitable and safe for those receiving it."
While some of the more technical aspects of his job are interesting, like working in the lab to help prepare tissues for successful transplants, Cody said it's the families, donors and loved ones he meets who continue to motivate him every day.
"They always amaze me," said Cody. "They don't know me and I'm talking to them on the worst day of their lives. They're always willing to meet and discuss with me the possibility of giving this gift on behalf of their family member. My job wouldn't exist without them and it's incredibly humbling to be part of that experience."
Cody says it only take one person to register their decision to donate to enhance the lives of more than 80 people.
Whether giving someone their sight back or helping their heart beat stronger, aiding in a repair that will allow a patient to walk free of pain or saving the life of a burn victim in desperate need – tissue donation gives hope to many who await transplant across the province.
"As someone who sees the benefits of this every day, I just ask that people have the conversation with their families," said Cody.
"Have the discussion, know their wishes and consider if it's right for you. This kind of giving is so selfless and inspiring. Your decision to do so will have a lasting impact for those receiving it and their families, now and for many years to come."

Cadillac SRX To Be Built In China As Well As Spring Hill By 2015 Calendar Year?
by Sam McEachern
— Oct 20, 2014
Cadillac will reportedly begin to manufacture its SRX mid-size crossover in China from by 2015 for the local market, according to Car News China. The assembly of the mid-size crossover also made news previously with the announcement that North American production of the crossover will move north to Spring Hill, Tennessee from Ramos Arizpe, Mexico.
Due to China's high import tax on vehicles, GM's Chinese joint venture, Shanghai GM, will now manufacture the SRX locally in a new factory near Shanghai. Due to the tariff, the SRX currently starts at a surprisingly high 429,000 yuan ($70,185 USD) in China and can cost as much as 629,800 yuan ($102,844 USD).
The high starting price is made even worse by the 3.0-liter and 3.6-liter V6 engines offered in the vehicle, as China has a heavy tax on any car with an engine bigger than 2.9-liters. The Chinese variant of the crossover is expected to be powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, with the 3.6-liter V6, while the 3.6L V6 is not expected to be used.
When Chinese production begins, Car News China says the starting price of the SRX could drop to 350,000 yuan and extend to ($57,154 USD) 500,000 yuan ($81,648 USD).
Editor's note: the vehicle referred to as the Cadillac SRX in this story is now known as the Cadillac XT5.

Cinco Uno is an edgy fashion line designed for petite women by actress and content creator Maiah Ocando.
Cinco Uno translates from Spanish to English as Five One. It's a play on the creator's height, and we're here for it. Mariah Ocando is now the Founder and Creative Director of CINCOUNO, which launched in Miami in December of 2018. The brand is LA based but accepts world wide orders from its website.
The designs are dark, and scream high fashion. Maiah created the line with women who are 5'4 and under in mind. What catapulted Maiah into creating the line was her need for forward thinking fashion for her fellow petite women.
Did you know that according to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, in the United States, the average woman is a little under 5ft 4 inches tall at 63.7 inches (161.8 centimeters). The fashion industry standard of 5'9″-plus fit and fashion models only accounts for approximately 3% of the extrapolated population. Although more than 50% of American women are shorter than the average fit model, grading for non-standard sizing is uncharted territory for a lot of brands. This is the reason why Maiah, (an award-winning fashion designer and petite woman herself), decided to develop a clothing brand she would wear and embrace.

We're sad about the unfortunate events surrounding the Abyssinians, but there's no reason to not get your Local Reggae fix at Ashkenaz tonight! Last minuet addition Skank Bank has stepped up and offered to soothe your cancelation woes with a night of FREE music!
Skank Bank is an American reggae fusion band from the San Francisco Bay Area, California, formed in 2013. The diverse collective of musicians is led by California born guitarist/singer Gabriel Winter. The band has an eclectic sound that fuses roots reggae/ska with elements of jazz, funk, and rock―known for their heady psychedelic dub jams and breakdowns. Ranging from a quartet to a nonet, the group has had more than 20 members with the only consistent bandmates of Winter's being trumpet player Liam King, trombone player Adam Miller, and co-founding bassist Jiggly Streich.
Emerging from the 924 Gilman Street Berkeley ska-punk revival in early 2013, Skank Bank explored various styles of reggae and ska. Incorperating harmonic dissonance and improvisational elements of jazz with textural elements, groovy jams, and drones of psychedelic music, the group created a cosmic and soulful sound rooted in the sounds of Jamaican one-drop, rockers, and dancehall riddims.


U.S. corporate pension funding ratios rose to an average of 88% in January, according to reports by Mercer, Legal & General Investment Management America and Wilshire Consulting.
The aggregate funded status of defined benefit plans sponsored by S&P 1500 companies increased by 3 percentage points in January to 87% as of Jan. 31, a monthly report by Mercer said.
This increase was due to both an uptick in discount rates and positive equity markets.
The estimated aggregate deficit was $291 billion as of Jan. 31, compared to $375 billion as of Dec. 31, according to Mercer.
The S&P 500 index gained 5.6% and the MSCI EAFE index gained 5% in January. Typical discount rates for pension plans as measured by the Mercer yield curve increased by 18 basis points to 3.74%.
"The volatile markets of early 2018 underscore just how important risk management is for pension plans," said Matt McDaniel, a partner in Mercer's U.S. wealth business, in a news release. "January was a great month, driving funded status to a four-year high, and plan sponsors with timely execution on dynamic derisking strategies were able to lock these gains in before the market decline in early February.
Mr. McDaniel added: "Sponsors whose governance model doesn't support systematic derisking in real time saw these gains evaporate in days and may continue to realize funded status volatility."
In another monthly report, LGIMA found that the pension funding ratio of a typical corporate pension plan increased over January, primarily driven by gains in the equity market and an increase in the discount rate to 3.86%. LGIMA estimates that the typical plan's funding ratio increased 4.4 percentage points during the month to 88.6% as of Jan. 31.
LGIMA estimates that Treasury rates increased by 23 basis points, while credit spreads tightened 5 basis points, resulting in the discount rate rising 18 basis points.
Liabilities for the typical plan were down 2.19%, while plan assets with a traditional 60/40 asset allocation increased by 2.94%, LGIMA said.
Meanwhile, according to Wilshire, the aggregate funding ratio for S&P 500 companies with corporate pension plans rose nearly 4 percentage points over the month to 88.4%.
Asset values increased 2% over the month, while liabilities decreased 2.2%, Wilshire said. In the past 12 months through Jan. 31, the aggregate funding ratio is up 6.4 percentage points.
"January's month-end funded ratio is the highest in over four years since December 2013 when the funded ratio was 88.9%," said Ned McGuire, managing director and a member of the pension risk solutions group of Wilshire Consulting, in a news release. "January's increase in funding was driven by a decline in liability values caused by the significant rise in Treasury yields and an increase in asset values fueled by strong performance in global equities."

This command works locally (macos) but for some reason in the github ci (ubuntu), this gives the following error:
"Cannot run program "/usr/local/envs/foobar/bin/python": error=2, No such file or directory"
Why is this not working?

A: Generally, I would not recommend directly pointing at binaries in Conda environments as shown. This is because environments often have activation steps that set shell variables, and expected behavior of binaries can be dependent on those settings.
Typically, users activate the environment, then allow the software to be resolved by the shell. Something like,
conda activate foobar
python foobar.py

Alternatively, the conda run command allows for executing within an environment without manipulating the active shell. For example,
conda run -n foobar python foobar.py

Note that conda run defaults to buffering output (i.e., not interactive), but there are flags (see conda run -h) that can enable alternative modes.

SkylineDx, Mayo Clinic Collaborate on Melanoma Diagnostics
Prognostic test maker SkylineDx has announced a collaboration with Mayo Clinic to assist in the development of novel diagnostic tests intended to aid clinicians in the selection of therapies and in the care of patients with melanoma. The work will focus on optimizing and developing an algorithm to identify risk factors associated with metastasis. The algorithm was originally discovered and developed by Mayo Clinic dermatologist Alexander Meves, M.D., and his team.
"The collaboration with Mayo Clinic is a significant achievement for SkylineDx since this enables us to further extend our product offering by using our knowledge and experience in the field of bio-informatics in other disease areas outside of multiple myeloma, building upon our existing assets and capabilities," said Dharminder S. Chahal, CEO of SkylineDx, in a press release. "We are very impressed with the work of Dr. Meves and his group and are delighted that they chose SkylineDx as their collaboration partner to address an unmet medical need and to improve the quality of life for patients."
Meves and his tea first published their data relating to the treatment of melanoma in the Journal of Clinical Oncology in 2015, which showed newly uncovered molecular risk factors associated with sentinel lymph node (SLN) positivity in the primary melanoma. Meves will present updated data later this month at the 2018 American Academy of Dermatology Annual Meeting in San Diego.
For SkylineDX, a spinout of Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, the work with Mayo Clinic marks an expansion of disease area from multiple myeloma, which has been its primary focus. Its lead product is called a MMprofiler, a prognostic test that risk stratifies multiple myeloma patients by prognosis, either "high" or "standard" as a method to better choose treatments for each patient.

Eagle Township is located in the southwest corner of Clinton County about 15 minutes Northwest of Lansing. It has the Grand River running through the southern part of the township and the Looking Glass River running through the middle of the township. It has the I-96 corridor with exit ramps at Wright road (M-100) and one at Eagle/Westphalia.
We are a typical rural township with economic growth in the I-96, M-100 and Grand River Ave. corridors all located in the Eastern section of the township. The biggest portion of the Township is cash crop farming with moderate residential grow. We have three school districts Pewamo/Westphalia, Portland and Grand Ledge with Grand Ledge being the largest.
The mission statement of the Eagle Township board is to look forward toward the next decade to develop the community at a reasonable growth rate and yet protect the varied natural resources of the Township's land and its people.

Arup Explores Prototyping was held in London on March 8th. Forty-five delegates, half from outside the firm, including practitioners and business leaders were provoked by 15 short presentations in three sessions; access to tools, successful prototyping business models and scale. The event was part of a series of events that aim to explore trends and technologies that may impact on the future of Arup and was held prior to a related evening event with our friends at 100%Open titled "User Makers and Distributed Production". Both events were great, with lots of positive feedback. My take away from the events are below.
Creating a space to think with your hands.
We had a great discussion around the desire for your own workshops and studios vs using other spaces and events as a catalyst to encourage the process of prototyping.
The benefit of your own spaces is the cultural shift that occurs, the design process changes, having a different toolset around you influences the way you think. At Arup we have the Light Lab "a place to flexibly experiment with lighting concepts", Sound Lab "a place to listen to our designs", a workshop in Arup Associates that builds on the strong tradition of making physical models in architectural practice and in many corners of the office we have emerging Innovation labs ranging from Arduino kit behind peoples desks to rooms with separate network infrastructure to allow prototyping of future ICT tools and networks.
"Other peoples spaces" provide an opportunity for greater collaboration and access to a broader toolset. But whilst many individuals probably have access to their old University workshops or emerging hackspaces I am not sure if we have ever formally looked at the potential for pooling resources to extend Arup into collaborative workshops. In addition to the spatial aspect there is also the benefit that a temporal one can bring. The focused activity of events such as Smartgeometry or Hackdays creates a platform for collaborators to come together, share experiences and develop their craft.
The purpose of the prototype.
Most of the speakers and participants had first hand experience of creating prototypes and their stories about why they were created was fascinating. For example, with Hintsights, the interaction designer exploring a service concept "didn't intend to prototype initially but tools available meant it was really easy – this meant [he] kept making iterations [..] prototypes help us have discussions and test plausibility". For Moving Brands the motivation for prototyping "off the job" was to communicate ideas and tell stories of what is possible without having to disclose client confidential projects. A really interesting concept when you take into account the learning that has now helped win fee paying client work.
Increasingly the prototype is no longer the final destination, rather part of the design process. And this seemed to be a common thread across most discussions. But the role of the prototype in the process does still vary. An interesting observation made by CRDM (a rapid prototyping shop) highlights the distinctions in different industries: "in automotive industry the virtual model is the part, in construction the virtual representations is a model of what may become real". A discussion of scale then ensued, but to me it comes back to the level of detail in digital model – and that is why prototyping of this kind is interesting – it is the merging of the digital and physical skill sets.
Several participants had made their own tools and spoke about the relationship between making things and then wanting to make the tools better to iterate their designs. The craft element of prototyping was a thread that seemed to run through many of the conversations during the event. Craft takes time, space and a certain level of freedom to pursue – and one that will always be difficult for management to nurture.
Increase awareness and access to current toolset available.
Make it easy for people to access toolchain to create stuff.
Organise more lunch time Arduino "how to" workshops.

With National Novel Writing Month well under way, I'm wishing everyone the best of luck with their endeavors. Having recently finished a piece for the CBC Short Story Competition and still doing a bit of research for my next big project, I am ill-prepared to participate in NaNoWriMo this year. However, I do love the discipline and rigor brought about by the (arbitrary) deadline of the competition, so have vowed to finish off a little side project that I started during my time at the Humber School for Writers.
I like to write or edit every day but throughout my writing courses, I would periodically find myself going a week or two waiting on feedback for my novel and unable (or perhaps unwilling) to make progress. Not wanting to lose the rhythm and discipline that comes with writing every day, I started adapting one of my favorite novellas into something set in a more contemporary setting. I didn't manage to complete the project before finishing at Humber, but it seems like a worthy goal for November all the same.
