Discussion in 'iPad Tips, Help and Troubleshooting' started by Tridhos, Apr 18, 2017.
I have an extensive music library which used to work on my iPad but now I have all sorts of problems with whole albums greyed out or individual tracks greyed out. Deleted iTunes reloaded again, latest OS, deleted library, rebuilt but still having problems syncing and yet loads off space on my iPad. These are all CDs that I own and have transferred into iTunes.
Not so long back Apple got rid of the play count, that returned but now plays cannot be reset.
It must be the only company that releases software that has less functionality than before quite apart from it not working properly.
I am now looking at some other products, anything is better than this toy.
Just to add the response from Apple is that I should try to sync it manually. That is even worse as one of my playlist has 72 tracks of which 47 get transferred onto my iPad. Other playlists which I have deleted, reloaded never get synced to my iPad, there they are on iTunes but not on my iPad. Most of my playlists on Itunes never sync the same number of tracks across to my iPad but lots of disk space left. All that has happened is that I seem to have lost all those greyed out tracks.
Apart from the odd track I never had this many problems so its obviously their updates that are causing this affect. However why should anyone have to manually update, surely you add some songs to iTunes then connect you iPad and that should be it.
I use my ipad for language learning and only recently Apple removed the play count feature but thankfully that was put back. Now I am unable to reset the play count apparently that feature has been removed.
Apple must be the only people who think that improving their software means removing features. I thought the idea of updating software was to make it operate better and enhance the program.
The problem might be,that later versions of iTunes,as a protection against illegal file sharing,don't accept most ripped CDs,as there is a copy protection added. Try either ripping music from vinyl records,phonograph rolls or buying it from Apple.
Thanks for your reply however I cannot see that being the case. Just an example I have a complete Beethoven opera on 2 CDs which I have transferred into iTunes but for some reason it just would not manually transfer into my iPad. Then this morning I tried the auto sync and the whole opera is transferred. However I have other box sets which I have transferred into iTunes and yet numerous tracks refuse to transfer into my iPad which if you have a concerto in 3 movements and you end up with 2 movements on your iPad from the original 3.
These are all being ripped from CDs that I have bought and own and wish to carry about with me on my iPad.
Its been a long time since I owned any vinyl recordings.
Sorry but you are missing the point. When iTunes is having issues importing a CD, these tracks won't be in the user's library in the first place. When ripping iTunes also doesn't add anything to the library but the files in the format the user specified. It doesn't add anything about a copy protection.
Copy protektion is not at all included by iTunes,it's added on the CD. So,the copy protection itself has nothing to do with iTunes,its a general protection against illegal copying of any kind,including ripping CDs regardless of if you use Mac,windows or google chrome books.
Oh..if you want more info,please google drm protection.
When you rip your CD in Itunes, make sure that your Itunes account on the Itunes store is opened and active. That's what I do. Your CD can be lost somewhere under a different classification if not known. Do you have the latest version of Itunes?
Yes I do have the latest version of ITunes its something I am always updating. I have no problem losing tracks as I rip my CDs which then appear in albums on my PC iTunes and these I transfer into playlists on my PC iTunes. I examine the playlist and as an example a box set of Mozart piano concertos may have around 40 tracks in my playlist, no problems seeing them on my PC iTunes play list. When I examine the play list on my iPad I find that random tracks have been omitted, they have not copied to the iPad so I am left with say two movements out of 3 of a piano concerto not just once but many times.
I never used to get this problem with previous versions of iTunes and it certainly isn't a lack of disk space on my iPad.
Yes I did and their suggestion was to do the SYNC manually which didn't work. Other than that they wanted me to contact them by phone.

I didn't have a chance to write today with work and ball, so here are a few thoughts on a Wednesday night.
When I moved this site to Movable Type, I introduced a sweet little plugin that displays the last seven photos I uploaded to my Flickr account in the sidebar. A good friend wrote the thing and it's great, except for one thing. When Flickr is down, as it has been all night, you can't update my site. I deleted the reference to the plugin to post this.
Every day dozens of people find their way to this entry about Harold Hosein. Many of the comments being left are quite sincere and heartfelt. You get the impression Hosein gave all and was let go in the most disrespectful manner. With the hits this entry about Humble Howard is getting, I wonder if there will be a similar collection of farewells and good wishes.
Tonight's Raging Storm slo-pitch game was awesome. We played wicked D and hit like crazy to win 17-5. I made my triumphant return to shortstop and played one hulleva game in the field. I also went 4 for 5 at the plate, but the main thing is it was damn fun. The thrill of the grass!
We will now return to our regular blogging schedule.

Our engineers have many years experience in the commercial and industrial fields so we are perfectly placed to deal with all the electrical needs in properties such as shops, factories, industrial units, showrooms, etc. We have recently completed various projects for the Solid Bond Studios, Vedere Homes and Something Big Design among others. Click here to view the gallery.
As an approved NICEIC domestic installer, we’re fully equipped to deal with all of your electrical requirements in the home. Whether you need an extra socket for a new appliance, or you’d like your whole property re-wired we provide the same expert, friendly service.
Our engineers have a wealth of experience in the domestic sector and can help and advise you on all your electrical needs. All of our work will comply with the latest edition of the current electrical regulations, BS7671 17th edition and is covered by the NICEIC guarantee for your peace of mind.
All electrical installations whether domestic or non-domestic, should be subject to a regular programme of testing and inspection to ensure that they remain safe to use.
We are approved to carry out these inspections and issue certificates. A Periodic Inspection Report (PIR) will reveal if electrical circuits are overloaded, find potential hazards in the installation, identify defective DIY work, highlight any lack of earthing or bonding and carry out tests on the fixed wiring of the installation. The report will establish the overall condition of all the electrics and state whether it is satisfactory for continued use, and will detail any work that might need to be done.
Periodic inspection reports are a requirement for most rented properties and insurance companies, and are advisable when buying any new property.
The NICEIC guidelines recommend that the electrics in domestic properties should be tested at least every 10 years. This will ensure that the installation remains in a good condition and continues to be safe to use.
If you’re a landlord with a rented property the advice is that testing should be carried out every 5 years to ensure the safety of your tenants on an ongoing basis. You can find more information about electrical testing for landlords at the Electrical Safety Council website.
How often should my electrics be tested?
For other types of properties, the following will tell you how often you are advised to have your installation checked.
• Rented Properties – 5 years.
• Commercial Installations –5 years.
• Industrial Installations – 3 years.

Yoshi’s Crafted World released date was March 29th, 2019, and it costs $59.99 for Nintendo Switch. However, it is Yoshi’s Crafted World Switch version that seems to have gotten the most positive reviews of all in this last couple of weeks since the release of the platform game. It is the latest step in a platforming tradition which now lasts over 24 years, since Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island came out in 1995, for Super Nintendo.
Yoshi’s Crafted World has brought the Yoshi gameplay style, which started out so long ago, to perfection. The visual improvements are obvious, but the subtle gameplay mechanics improved and implemented are what makes this title feel like Nintendo’s last word.
Now, in Yoshi’s Crafted World when you eat an opponent it automatically turns into an egg and is ready to be used as ammo. Furthermore, you can manually aim the eggs by simply pressing the fire button and holding it, while you move the cursor to move the bullseye, and release to throw. The range of throwing the eggs is greatly improved, and you can hit objects in the background and the foreground, giving the entire game a world-like immersive atmosphere.
The game’s overall pace is noticeably slower than the usual platformers like to impose. In Yoshi’s Crafted World, you are rewarded for taking things much slower and figuring out how each and every wonder works, or where it should be hit to give you coins. Also, the mechanics of overcoming obstacles are greatly expanded, with numerous ways of running over giant paper flowers, popping up the paper ribbons, spinning the pots as you jump over them, and so on.
The level design is noticeably better with new concepts that come at you non-stop. This makes all forty-plus levels unique and constantly fresh. Everything is so cleverly done that no single concept repeats itself entirely through the game. Things that are used again are at least evolved and improved as you go down the way to higher levels.
Playing the flipside of levels is what Nintendo eagerly announced for Yoshi’s Crafted World but critics and fans mostly agree the feature is now as good as they expected it to be. You may play each level in reverse but only to collect three poaches you need as collectibles while you compete for the best time, but nothing more. According to feedback, it is a bit of a letdown.
Yoshi’s Crafted World game is already being called one of the best looking 2D games ever created by Nintendo. Even though it is purely 2D, the environment feels like a 3D immersive world, and the textures of all models look incredibly realistic. One of the cool features is to see what the environment is made of when you flip the world and play a level in reverse. You then see that all the things and objects are actually empty and repainted cans or other common household objects. And, of course, lots of cardboard and paper.

December 1, 2014 at 12:00 am.
For a church’s design to be effective, it must be engaging — beginning the moment someone walks through the door.
Today, 43 percent of the U.S. population is unchurched and 37 percent identify as post-Christian. So, a visitor has a high likelihood of not only being at your church for the first time, but he or she might also have had limited knowledge of the way things are done at any church.
The color and material texture in the Commons at First Baptist Church Pasadena (Pasadena, TX) provides subtle cues to help visitors orient themselves in the space. Floor patterns help dictate circulation routes, and vibrant colors denote entries to the different wings of the building. (Photo by: Jud Haggard).
Research also indicates it takes less than five minutes for first-time visitors to decide if they will ever come back. That isn’t a very long time. And even with well-trained, hospitable members, there is a good chance first-time visitors will form their opinions of your church before they have a single human interaction.
After navigating the parking lot and finding the correct entry to the building, the most immediate experience visitors have is that first step into your building. Whether you call this place a Lobby, Narthex, or Commons, their experience of this space sets the stage for their entire visit.
A few generations ago, many churches had a small vestibule that functioned as their Lobby. This was the space where church members got their bulletin and were quickly greeted by the usher on their way to the sanctuary. This was an internally focused space, serving as a sound buffer between the sanctuary and what was happening outside. These types of spaces functioned quite well for experienced churchgoers — people who were there every week, who knew where they were going and what to do.
But, they don’t perform nearly so well for modern churches trying to open their doors and be integral parts of their post-Christian communities.
Today’s lobbies are responding to both church and community needs in a variety of ways. Modern church lobbies are becoming vibrant connectors that are integrated with the entire building, as well as destination areas to facilitate impromptu conversations, informal classes and fellowship. By addressing these needs through the presence of cafés, comfortable seating and even indoor playgrounds, engaging lobbies are transforming churches into what Ray Oldenburg defines as a “third place” — an anchor of the community which fosters social interaction and meaningful conversation.
First Baptist Church Pasadena (Pasadena, TX). At this church, a new, large, two-story Commons provides entry locations on both the east and west sides of the building. It was important to this large church that visitors and members could easily find their way to a main entry and into a single common space, no matter where they parked. To that end, the Commons connects the church’s newly built 2,500-seat Worship Center to the church’s café, Chapel, classrooms and administration offices, serving as the central circulation zone for the campus.
Since it was built in 2012, this church has been able to use its Commons as a vibrant part of its community ministry, not only by providing a welcoming entry for visitors but by providing a space to host community lunches, dinners, social events and lectures. The design of the space was specifically ordered to allow visitors to understand where they are, even without excessive verbal signage. Welcome desks strategically located near the two main entryways let visitors ask questions easily, without going out of their way or feeling conspicuous.
Digital signs and computer stations are strategically located in the space, allowing church ministries to present information to the church community.
To encourage conversation and community-building, there are multiple types of seating arrangements organized throughout the Commons. Soft seating, café tables and benches can be seen everywhere and are used by families, Sunday school classes, small groups and friend groups, ensuring the space feels comfortable and welcoming.
Christ Community Church (Houston). Christ Community Church, a 400-member church plant, had to approach its entry lobby in an entirely different way. This young church had been meeting in a local hotel for some time before it was able to acquire property. The church purchased an empty 1980s speculative office building with the intention of converting it to a worship space, classrooms and church offices.
With a finite amount of available space, our design team showed the church ways it could multi-use its entry lobby. A fellowship café is part of the lobby but has a sliding glass wall that allows it to be entirely open on Sunday morning, providing a welcoming space for socializing, getting coffee and building community. When needed, the room can be entirely closed off to host a large Sunday school class, lecture or other event.
Rather than have a stationary welcome desk, the church has several mobile stations that can be reconfigured and relocated depending on the need. Visibility, again, is key; it is important that the space provided helps guests clearly navigate and find their way.
The intentional use of varied material textures, paint color and lighting helps locate the important spaces for guests and allows them to feel comfortable and welcome rather than lost and nervous.
Café tables, bistro stools and lounge chairs allow people to gather in ways that are most comfortable for them and conducive to conversation.
Allison Parrott is the Project Manager for the Worship Facilities and Education Studio at Ziegler Cooper Architects in Houston. She is married to a church-planter and pastor and is blessed to be able to serve other churches through her professional work.
Paul Lodholz, AIA, LEED AP is the Principal-in-Charge of the Worship Facilities and Education Studio at Ziegler Cooper Architects. He has lectured around the country on the changing nature of the church lobby and has been working with churches for more than 35 years.

This week, I traveled to Italy to announce the latest, premium addition to the Surface Pro line at Milan Design Week – the Signature Type Cover.
During Milan Design Week, luxury brands come together to showcase the latest fashions, materials, and even tech in the world of design. The perfect place to launch the Signature Type Cover, meticulously crafted with a luxury material, sourced exclusively in Italy and used in high-end fashion, automotive and interiors. It’s unique combination of sophisticated design and durability made it a natural choice for Surface. With this material, the Signature Type Cover is perfect for anyone who wants a premium accessory that looks as good as it feels.
Our Surface journey has always been about delivering the best experience to our customers – to create a device that not only allows them to get things done, but that they love to use and are proud to carry. We are inspired by those that dream and do amazing things, and we work tirelessly to bring that same belief to how we create our own products. We ask ourselves, how do we make everyday objects beautiful?
For the new Signature Type Cover, we wanted to make a cover that not only looks good, but feels great to hold in your hand and can stand the test of time. We needed something that was both durable and beautiful. Our search led us to the village of Nera Montoro, in the heart of Italy’s Umbria region, which is the home of a luxury material called Alcantara. The unique sensory and technical qualities of the material create a beautiful two-tone grey mélange effect, which is soft to the touch and ages beautifully, growing richer and darker over time – no two are the same, your Signature Type Cover can truly be uniquely yours.
Each Signature Type Cover takes five weeks to produce, as the material is extruded and crimped, needle-punched and dyed.
We partnered closely with the Alcantara team to fine tune and tailor the material to meet our needs. Each Signature Type Cover takes five weeks to produce, as the material is extruded and crimped, needle-punched and dyed. The final product blends Italian luxury, a Finnish minimalistic design aesthetic and durability that helps it improve with age, like a good leather jacket.
Great design starts with great materials and the Signature Type Cover is no different. From the beginning, engineering and design are interwoven—they shouldn’t be separated, which is why materials and fabrics have been integral to our design process. Especially when making such a light and thin finished product, the materials you use must be considered and the premium, durable frame of Surface could only be achieved through precise material selection.
The Signature Type Cover is crafted from our latest generation of Surface Pro keyboards, giving you the perfect amount of travel in every keystroke, spaced keys for fast typing, and a large glass trackpad.
Starting at $159.99 USD, the new Signature Type Cover is available through Microsoft stores and at select retailers in the United States, Australia, Austria, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Switzerland, and United Kingdom.

1. What is the most important ethical lesson you have learned (either personally or professionally)?
I think a key lesson is that we vastly overcomplicate things. Being a good person is the same whether in business or with friends, whether in the boardroom or the dining room. It’s about consistent values such as honesty and directness. It may sound simplistic, but this straightforward approach takes away a lot of complexity and targets what really matters. Making a fortune has never been an endgame for me. I love difficult, knotty problems – feeling my brain on fire. Surprising as it may sound, sometimes I feel I can get the most done in government. The important focus is on trying to change things for the better not just commercial objectives. I believe in government, especially in support and welfare networks for people in need and in trying to level the playing field. Digital is a critical tool toward this end. Government also has huge levers to shift behaviors and modify the fabric of society.
2. What is the most shocking corporate ethics matter you have seen in the news recently? Non-profit sector? Why?
I find things less shocking than I used to, but banks still seem to be behaving unethically. It isn’t every single bank or every aspect of banks or of any single bank. I think it is in part due to an unpleasant phenomenon of gender imbalance and aggressive and excessive interest in wealth creation coupled with excessive risk-taking. I would have thought that the massive scale of the fallout from the financial crisis would have stomped out much of this. I would have expected more new business models in response to the crisis that don’t seem to have emerged.
I am shocked about climate change. For example, many of the deniers are bright, well-respected individuals that pick away at the science rather than doing something about it. Corporate behavior such as the BP oil spill and over-fishing also reflects the short-termism. The Blue Marine Foundation that my partner Chris Gorell Barnes co-founded (and serves as a trustee) has done wonderful work to address solutions to the marine crisis through public-private partnerships. They have made a highly acclaimed film on over fishing called The End of the Line.
Politicians…in general they are ever the same. I do think the Scottish referendum is a critical ethics message. We should think long and hard about how they achieved such a voter turnout (campaigning, the subject and message, leadership…) and how to address the result.
Finally, I am somewhat shocked that some of the young technology billionaires are not more focused on social challenges. It’s not enough to support other entrepreneurs through angel investing or venture capital, or to pursue the next hundred million.
3. What do you see as the opportunities for the corporate sector and non-profit sector to collaborate in raising the bar in ethical matters?
Collaboration is 100% a must. When we [Brent Hoberman and I] co-founded Lastminute.com, I thought about doing good as something on the side. I was involved with a charity called Reprieve, and we would hold board meetings at the Lastminute.com office. Now if we were to found a company, I’m sure Brent would agree that we would integrate a sense of social justice into the heart of the company from the beginning. The world has shifted. It’s the noise in the ether, particularly around sustainability. There are more examples than ever before such as Unilever or Danone’s work with farmers in Africa.
The technology phenomenon exerts great pressure to change in this positive direction. It forces organizations to open up and be more transparent. Social media pressure prevents hiding. Global leaders’ messages trickle down. Companies must be more reactive and customer-focused because customers and the public are demanding this, again in part through social media and consumer choice. Marks and Spencer [where Baroness Lane Fox sits on the board] leads in embedding ethical behavior in the business model.
The positive consequences are tangible. Recently I read about 12 states in the US legislating a living wage, and the productivity increase was astonishing.
4. What are the most effective strategies for mitigating risk of unethical behavior in your organization?
At M&S we have something called Plan A (a combination of ethical oversight and environmental sustainability) that is very embedded. Previously it was a corporate social responsibility department, but now there is a separate Plan A department, Plan A efforts around the company, and a separate sustainability board that I serve on that reports directly to the main board. The critical feature is the reporting lines: the Plan A board reports to the main board (including the audit committee). This means that the oversight for Plan A is by the full board and by the audit committee. Sustainability and ethics is considered a risk that is closely followed just like financial and other corporate risks. Also, all of the executive team members have sustainability as a review point in their performance evaluations that links to compensation.
In the Cabinet Office, the government digital service department (Government Digital Service or GDS, established as a result of Baroness Lane Fox’s report “Directgov 2010 and beyond: revolution not evolution”]) has a strong series of values around how GDS will behave. There are core principles, starting with listening to the user and improving negotiation techniques to protect citizens from waste. These principles are embedded in that department, as well as in how GDS relates to other departments. Start with the user is the starting point!
5. What are your strategies for ensuring ethical policies and standards flow down through all levels of the organizing and to all stakeholders?
There are a lot of different elements. Most importantly, it comes from the top. You have to have a sort of positive mini-dictator who establishes clear guidelines and moral leadership. At M&S, culture goes back to the early days when the company looked after staff and customers, and then moved on to the supply chain. It protects the brand and helps reach other company targets. People really care. We have measurable feedback from customers that the ethical business model matters; people want to work at M&S because of its ethical culture; and partners must sign up to stringent ethical commitments in order to become a M&S partner.
6. Are there areas you think regulation should be more extensive in regulating corporate ethics? Non-profit sector ethics?
Regulation can help with some things, especially transparency and accountability. For example, government could force companies to publish more data. I’m generally a fan of regulation without it being too cumbersome, but it’s only one piece of ethical oversight. But government needs to start with itself too. The Government Digital Service I referred to earlier does a great job of that. They put everything out there – the good, the not so good, and the ugly.
7. Should culture be an important contextual element in ethics analysis? What is unique about the ethical culture and environment in your country that should be taken into consideration?
There’s no way around it. There are degrees of ethical culture and leadership or a spectrum ranging from actively seeking to enforce the highest standards of ethical behavior to barely complying with law. It all comes down to leadership.
8. Do you think globally applicable ethics principles and practices are possible? Desirable?
Yes I do think globally applicable ethical standards are possible. There are nuances, but fundamentals of human rights exist. There are irrefutably right ways to behave like prohibiting child labor and addressing environmental responsibility.
9. What is the biggest mistake people make in making decisions around ethical issues?
Dodging responsibility. Not putting ethics on the table, perhaps because the immediate gain (financial or other) is not obvious. But this kind of short-termism fails. You can’t escape it. I will never forget a story from when I was much younger. My father is a professor at New College, Oxford. I always admired the huge long wooden tables in a sort of dining area. I remember asking one of the porters or persons in charge of maintaining them how they looked after these beautiful tables year after year. The answer was that hundreds of years ago when the tables were first installed a forest was planted nearby the College so that there would always be enough wood to replace them. Are we doing that today – giving more than we take?

Spatial data are increasingly being used for a range of applications beyond their, traditional uses. Collection of such data and their update constitute a substantial part of the total costs for their maintenance. In order to ensure sustainable development in the area of geographic information systems, efficient data custody and coordination mechanisms for data sharing must be put in place. This paper shows the importance of reference data as a basis for national spatial data infrastructure that serves as a platform for decision making processes in society. There are several European initiatives supporting the wider use of spatial data. An example is the INSPIRE Directive. Its principles and the main world trends in data integration pave the way to successful SDI driven by stakeholders and coordinated by national mapping agencies.

Evidence of an improving economy was noted as the Port of Los Angeles reported exceptionally strong January tonnage. For the month, total TEUs increased almost 6% with imports up 5.25% and exports up 5.9%. Reasons for this strong increase may be due to an increase in inventory restocking following a good holiday season and also probably because of an early Chinese New Year, when Asian manufacturing facilities close for about two weeks.
A strong beginning for the New Year from the largest US port but is it an anomaly? Apparently not, as according to Zepol Corporation, which tracks international trade, total US January ocean freight imports increased 5.8%. Strong growth in US ocean freight imports was reported in shipments originating from Europe, up 17.22% while shipments originating in Asia were up 5.57%.
As US ocean freight shipments appear to have a strong January showing, air cargo may not be as lucky. Although US airports have yet to report January tonnage, Frankfurt’s airport reported a 16.8% decline whereas the Asian airline, Cathay Pacific, reported a 19.5% decline in tonnage. Both airport and airline blamed soft markets and Asian production slowdown leading up to the Chinese New Year on the decline.
Additional insight into the US air cargo market may be gleaned from the US inbound airfreight index. For the month of January, rates declined 2.1% from December to January with inbound rates from Europe declining 2.5% and Asian rates declining 3.8%. This does not appear promising for the market. However, while US inbound air rates declined, the US outbound airfreight index noted only slight month to month declines in outbound rates to Europe and to Asia.
Why the strong growth in ocean freight versus air cargo? Perhaps one of the differences may be in the types of cargo that is carried. For example, the majority of the Port of Los Angeles exports are primarily made up of materials, including paper, paper board, waste paper as well as fabric, raw cottons, and grain and other agricultural products, and scrap metal. The over capacity within the ocean freight market may have led to even lower rates than those for air cargo. Lastly, demand from emerging markets may also have resulted in the increased ocean freight movements.
Still, the impressive amount of exports reported by the Port of Los Angeles along with only slight declines in US air cargo outbound rates indicate that demand for US exports continued during the month of January. However, commentary from both the ocean freight and air cargo industries indicate February may be a weak month because of the early Chinese New Year.

Faculty visit school’s temporary home.
This wall was decorated by students in Potomac Elementary School’s Chinese Immersion Program.
School is out but Potomac Elementary School faculty and staff went on a field trip on Monday.
They piled into two Montgomery County Public School buses and went to visit Radnor Holding School in Bethesda where they and their students will be housed for the next 18 months during the building of an all new PES.
There was real excitement about Radnor among the staff after the visit.
The windows are incredible, said first grade teacher Liz Siegel.
Borra said she is sure the school will be cleaned, up, painted and looking good when students arrive on Sept. 4.
“It will look good. Once you get color and bulletin boards, it will look welcoming,” she said.
Potomac Elementary families have an opportunity to add color to their new school by decorating a ceiling tile for a classroom at Radnor. Tiles can be picked up at the school until June 29.
“We are asking that families paint a calming or motivational image on the tiles,” art teacher Tori McDaid said.
McDaid said the painted ceiling tiles have been used in other schools and are not at all disruptive in a ceiling of white.
The all new Potomac Elementary School is expected to open in January 2020.

The antique Sicilian manor house, an expression of the first eclecticism-liberty style in Messina, is situated in the heart of the Peloritani Mountains, but at the same time it has an extraordinary panorama of the Mediterranean Sea and the Aeolian Islands. The origin of the elegant, refined feudal agricultural estate dates from the middle of the 16th century when it was built by the baron family Musolino, who made it their abode and strategic stronghold. Various alterations and additions were made over the centuries, but during the earthquake in 1908, the manor house was severely damaged and was subsequently abandoned by the family.
Around 1913 the estate was sold to engineer Carmelo Salvato. During the successive two years the manor house as it stands today was completed with the best technological standards of the time. In 1962 the estate was sold to the Rodriquez family, who in a short time transformed it into a nursery farm dedicated to camellia production.
Today, after impressive restructure, the Manor House estate is reborn as a Country House with a unique, commendable Eco-Park dedicated to wellbeing both physical and spiritual, with particular attention to healthy nourishment, thanks to the new bio agricultural company.
There are natural spas of mineral water inside the Park from which many small canals are born to flow through the vegetation.
The Park is a splendid example of rich biodiversity of flora and fauna. The sustainable use of natural resources is a constant priority for us to provide benefit and heritage for future generations.
The Borgo Musolino Restaurant is situated in the splendid historical Country House, surrounded by the lush natural beauty of the Mediterranean scrub. The original antique majolica of the Mansion together with the large windows give the restaurant the atmosphere of other times.
During the summer season, our tables are set up outside on the terrace with its splendid panorama; the breathtaking view of the enchanting Aeolian Islands will enchant your guests.
The restaurant proposes gourmet cookery based on the rediscovery of the antique and authentic flavours of typical recipes of the Sicilian tradition, so offering the opportunity to select the flavours of the Mediterranean Sea and Sicilian farmland products.
Our philosophy is dictated by the importance of the ethical use of healthy raw materials at zero kilometers.
Our principal objective is to valorize healthy and natural cookery, based on seasonal products in order to guarantee the authentic conscious values.
Magnificent and emotional observation of the bird species in their natural habitat; it is possible to admire the birds in the nature zone with a binocular or a photographic lens.
The authentic and genuine taste of our products are the result of our use of bio agriculture where cultivation is carried out using only organic natural materials and excluding the use of fertilizers, herbicides and insecticides.
Enthusiastic experiences in the nature park along the pathways to discover ourselves and the joys of nature.
Educational paths to know thoroughly the marvelous and intensive laborious world of bees.
In our playground the junior guests will find swings, slides, carousels, wooden playhouses, a kids’ ball pit, climbing walls, trampolines, bouncy castles and many other organized enjoyable play activities.
For those who enjoy trekking and outdoor activities, we organize fascinating horse rides and excursions following the pathways within the Parkland, to observe and enjoy the extraordinary beauty of the surrounding panorama.
For true amusement and excitement, we could not miss out the water walking balls; a walk over our Eco lake provides enjoyment assured for great and small.
One of our proposals is a route for the exploration and collection of berries, flowers, wild herbs, spontaneous and wild plant foods that nature offers in the Parkland.

With 2018 officially in full swing, it’s out with the old and in with the new – even for weddings. If you’re tying the knot this year, here are a few fresh styles and innovative trends to consider incorporating in your ceremony and reception.
Pantone named Ultra Violet the Color of the Year for 2018, so it is no surprise that purple is everywhere, including weddings. Nora Sheils, founder of event planning company Bridal Bliss, expects to see lighter shades of the royal color mixed with pinks and blues in plenty of upcoming nuptials.
While clean, all-white are still popular, color is making a comeback. Aqua, hot pink and kelly green make for a fun, tropical affair, while bright jewel tones are perfect for a woodsy fall event. Sheils has also seen an increased interest in red as a featured color.
“While we don't anticipate our brides selecting an all cherry palette, we are loving the pops of deep burgundies that are being brought in among shades of white and even steely blue,” she says.
Elegance never goes out of style, but a little extra drama is on trend for 2018. Think tuxedos, ballgowns, clean florals and hints of sparkle, Sheils says.
For florals, couples are continuing to embrace greenery and living plants. Expect to see wedding aisles turned into an English garden with potted plants and epic floral installations hanging from above at receptions.
From lucite chandeliers and chairs to glasshouse venues transparent materials make for a modern and minimalist look. These details also add a bit of natural shine without being distracting or overwhelming.
To achieve depth and improve the guest experience, couples are placing a bigger emphasis on texture. Adding little details, such as mixing and matching furniture, 3D stationery elements and layering table linens, makes for a richer overall look.
Foodies get married too, which means couples are finding new ways to enhance the menu. Interactive appetizers, like roll your own sushi stations, food trucks, family recipes and farm-to-table experiences are all on the table for 2018.

Key Takeaway: Be a sponge. Learn as much as you can from every opportunity.
Top 5% in the world at: Handling logistics. My husband calls me Julie after the cruise director from The Love Boat because of my ability to handle all kinds of logistics and not get thrown by any of it.
Behind every successful celebrity, book launch, or new tv series, there’s usually a publicist working tirelessly to get the word out. In many instances, that person is Carrie Simons. As CEO and president of Triple 7 PR, an entertainment publicity and corporate communications firm, Carrie works with production companies, TV campaigns, book launches, experts, and celebrities. Some of her clients have included MasterChef, the Nashville Film Festival, and the Chicken Soup for the Soul books. “We work across all factors of media from TV to print and bloggers, really trying to elevate the awareness of our clients and working with them in a long-term capacity to consistently build their story,” she tells us. Carrie got her start in the industry as an intern at NBC Entertainment before rising through the ranks and doing publicity for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno for six years. Her biggest piece of advice? Soak up as much as you can from every opportunity.
Growing up in Los Angeles, I had a relatively unique perspective to being in the media business versus people who moved to LA later and were a bit more enamored by Hollywood. When I was in high school, we had to do an internship as part of our curriculum. I chose a publicity internship with an agency called Davidson and Choi. Because it was a small firm, it was really all hands on deck. From restaurant openings to the Nutcracker at the Pasadena Symphony, it was the wide array that made me interested in publicity.
I was also a competitive golfer starting at age 13. Playing a sport that is so individual and mentally challenging really taught me how to visualize, how to prioritize, how to have that mentality that I think a lot of people are now finding through meditation. You can't have distractions and you can't think of anything other than the shot in front of you — I think business is very similar. You want to look at all the possible hazards, create what your shot is going to be for the task at hand, and then have the confidence to execute your decision.
Princeton is an incredible school with a great history and tradition. When you walk on campus, it feels like the ideal image of a college experience. On top of that, I wanted to move across the country and be on the East Coast for four years.
I majored in politics. Growing up, I paid attention to the news and always had really interesting conversations with my parents about politics. I looked at college as an opportunity to have a 4-year experience that didn't necessarily need to align with my career path, but that could be a time for me to hone my interests in political theory.
When did you realize you were interested in the entertainment industry?
After my PR internship in high school, I had various entertainment internships during college. My senior thesis was on the implementation of the parental rating system for television and I was able to talk to the head of the MPA and the heads of NBC about that in a way that combined what I was interested in at school with what I was interested in for my career.
Can you tell us more about your internships?
Internship at The Brokaw Company: My first two summers I came back to Los Angeles and worked at a small PR agency called the Brokaw Company. My grandfather had delivered one of the partners in the company, which was my Hollywood in. I worked with the person who handled country music artists. She went on her honeymoon and I was in the trenches on some of the tours at the time, handling the PR logistics.
NBC Internship: The summer before my senior year, I did an internship at NBC because I had always been kind of a TV junkie and wanted to see that side of the business. I also used it as an opportunity to get research done for my thesis.
At the time when you did press clippings as an intern, it was literally cutting and pasting and copying — all of the things that technology has eliminated the need for. A lot of the time was spent creating those packets and then distributing them to the executives. In doing the distribution, we got to know the assistants to the executives, and realized we had an arsenal of information at our fingertips. By scheduling time to talk to them about what they did, we had an opportunity to understand the business rather than just doing the grunt work.
I think there are two schools of thought to the entry-level positions of interns and assistants. One is that you're using it just as a tool to demand a promotion. And the other is using it as an opportunity to understand the inner workings of what makes the business successful so that when you’re promoted you understand not only what job you're expected to do but what job somebody else is going to be doing in your footsteps.
Once I graduated, NBC didn't have any positions available, so I went to work at Universal. I got the job by finding out through word of mouth what positions were available at the assistant level and applying.
I was an assistant to the head of domestic television publicity. We worked on a number of series, handling the national media opportunities for the talent and the executive producer of the shows. The Law and Order franchise was one of their biggest at the time.
It was a lot of answering the phone, getting to know the people who were calling, being in meetings with the executives when appropriate, being on sets as needed, and really being an observer. I think there's a big misconception about what assistant roles are versus what people think they should be. If people were given the responsibility that they think they should have, none of them would last in this business for more than a couple of years. When you realize what you're doing is part of your education to be in the industry long-term, it leads to much greater success than that glorified notion of what getting into the entertainment business is.
At the time, NBC was the number one network. They had taken a chance on me during my internship, and the head of the department and I had forged a mentorship-friendship. When she asked me to come back I knew that I had her support in growing with the company.
I started as an assistant and then moved onto junior publicist, publicist, senior press manager, and director. I started at NBC when I was 22. I turned 30 there and I left a little bit thereafter. It really was a work family and we went through everything together: marriages, births of friends' kids, the head of the department's daughter sitting on my lap after school when she was little. It was a lifetime of relationships built over a decade or so.
Starting from the beginning what was being an assistant at NBC like?
The most important lesson I learned was never let a phone go to voicemail. I was working for Rebecca Marks who still is one of the heads of publicity at NBC. She taught me how to be a professional, how to manage tremendous personalities and have decorum in every interaction, and how to work in a business that's ever-changing.
How did you get promoted to junior publicist?
Because of the internships I had done in college and high school, I felt like I was ready to be promoted and championed myself. I had candid conversations about why I felt I was ready to take on the next level and cited specific experiences that I previously had, even though from an age standpoint, I didn't have the industry maturity.
Thankfully they believed in me and gave me the opportunity to prove myself. So I started working with Rebecca on specials and made for TV movies, and then built my relationships internally to build the trust to be able to handle the series.
How did you get the promotion to publicist?
The person who was handling the Tonight Show left and I went to the head of HR and asked to be given the position. I handled the Tonight Show and a show with Christina Applegate called Jessie and worked on movies of the week and music specials. I was essentially the liaison between the projects I was working on and the media that would be writing about them. It involved drafting press releases, distributing them, having them placed, scheduling interviews for talent and producers, and making sure the right outlets were writing stories about the premiers of shows, key episodes, and specials.
What do you think made you so promotable?
I think it is about being available to help wherever you can and being a sponge so that you learn as much as you can in every task that you're given. It’s what gives the person making the decision the comfort in trusting you with that next level position versus worrying that you're going to make mistakes. Asking questions rather than making mistakes or owning mistakes so that they can be fixed quickly rather than covering them up also breeds that trust.
As I got elevated to senior manager and then director, the number of projects that I was working on and what I was overseeing changed as needed, but really the overall job responsibility stayed the same in terms of connecting projects with media.
Why did you decide to leave NBC?
It was a really tough decision for me, but at the time we announced that Jay Leno was leaving the Tonight Show. Jay had always been so good to me and trusted me to represent him in the show when I was incredibly young. It felt disingenuous to move on to the next job before he did, but it also put me in a position of not knowing what my next role would be once he was gone, since I was so tightly aligned with that show.
BWR had come to me a couple times to talk about moving over to the agency. I had a lot of friends there and respected what they were doing. When they approached me again, it was the right time to explore something new. I had just turned 30 at NBC, and felt like if I didn't expand my wings at that point, I probably never would.
What was being a senior director at BWR like?
It was certainly different to see the agency side of things versus a network or studio perspective. We oversaw the PR campaigns for a myriad of corporate television campaigns — everything from WWE to VH1 reality shows.
It also afforded me the opportunity to go back and forth to Nashville because we were working on a show for one of our clients there. That led to relationships in Nashville and job opportunities there that led to my next transition.
I'd been at the agency for about a year and a half. I was toying with the idea of moving to Nashville. I had an opportunity to open a company that at the time was a subsidiary of a film production company, which would assume all the back office parts of having a business. I never aspired to have my own agency, so having it within the framework of a larger company was enticing. I could grow it as much or as little as I wanted to. It was the best possible safety net. By the time it no longer made sense to stay within that corporate structure, I already had such a great team and such awesome clients that I couldn't have imagined not continuing with my company. The normal jumping off the cliff fears didn’t exist.
What steps did you take to grow your company?
It was really word of mouth and when we as a team felt in our gut that we were ready to take on more business. We also have a policy of only signing business that we believe in. It means that we're excited about the people that we're talking about to the media and that we're looking forward to the calls we have with our clients.
How do you see your company aligning with the shift in social media and publicity?
We're going to stay the course. While we certainly are here to consult with our clients on what they're doing with their social media, our focus has always been to stay true to what publicity is in my opinion, which is creating that relationship between client and media.
What do you wish you knew when you were first launching your career?
That you'd be exhausted. I always say I got my son when he was six. I am his stepmom. In those first five years when I would have given birth, stayed up all night, and everything else, I was instead doing that for my career. Then when he came into my life with his dad, I had the best of both worlds. It gives me even more appreciation for the women that are doing both and how truly difficult it is.
You might want to have all the glitz and glamour, but it's Hollywood for a reason. Behind it all is hard work, dedication, and long hours. There is no quick “collect hundred dollars” and skip the steps.
Make the most of where you are.
Be patient and find the right opportunity that you're going to be excited to grow in. Then, learn from every facet of that opportunity instead of complaining about it not being enough or not having enough responsibility.
Early in your career, it’s important to forge relationships with everybody. Get their trust, learn from them, and take the time to build relationships.
Focus on your strengths and ensure that weaknesses do not impact your job performance. For example, I used to not have a very good poker face if I thought somebody was not bright. Certainly being judgmental is not advantageous in a job where you're dealing with a tremendous amount of people and personalities. So being aware of that and keeping my mouth shut with certain comments was a really good lesson.
Do the best with what you're given no matter the circumstances.
My father always says, “It is what it is.” And as much as sometimes I wanted him to get worked up over something for me because I was worked up, it's a great life lesson. Life is what it is and you can't change it. You can exhaust a lot of energy in terms of how you handle a difficult situation, or you can address it and move on.

The son of the former Miss Jordan, Rami Kashou grew up in style. Kashou was born in Jerusalem on May 11, 1976 and raised in Ramallah where he was often commissioned by the local town socialites to design their ensembles.
Upon arriving in the U.S. in 1996, Kashou worked in retail for several years. This eventually led him to a buying and merchandising position at a well-known boutique in Los Angeles. After a stint of traveling to Europe as a buyer, Kashou bit the bullet and purchased two sewing machines. He vigorously studied pattern making from the local vintage boutiques. “I would buy a piece and take it apart and inspect it, then I would learn.” Kashou said. After three years of self-education, he began creating what would later be known as the “One of a Kind” collection that was picked up by various notable Los Angeles boutiques.
A seasoned veteran of runway shows, Rami Kashou has shown his devotion and passion for groundbreaking feminine design, and as a result has become one of the most coveted runway shows to attend during fashion week, attracting celebrities such as Jessica Alba, Christina Aguilera, and Amy Smart. He was honored with the Gen Art Alumni sponsorship to showcase his collection in the tents of Bryant Park in addition to his numerous seasons at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week at Smashbox Studios in Los Angeles.
Known for his dramatic red carpet gowns, Rami has draped the silhouettes of celebrities and trendsetters such as Her Majesty Queen Rania of Jordan, Penelope Cruz, Malin Akerman, Dita Von Teese, Heidi Klum, Jennifer Lopez, Fergie, Becki Newton, Paris Hilton, and Lindsay Lohan to name a few. His designs have graced the pages of the New York Times Magazine, Vogue, Women’s Wear Daily, Interview, Elle, In Style, and Flaunt amongst many others.

You may not be able to be at your student's side, but there is still plenty you can do to help. UniversityParent can point you in the right direction. Check to see if Western Oregon University has a health center, as this can great resource if your student is feeling sick. If your student is overly stressed, it may be a good idea to encourage them to check out counseling services on or near campus.

Trying to incorporate as many viewpoints as possible, Gov.-elect Ned Lamont hosted a policy conference Tuesday with 15 committees studying key state issues — and opened the meeting with a new attitude to a wide divergence of views.
The standing-room-only crowd of 456 at Eastern Connecticut State University included liberal Democrats sitting near Republicans like New Britain Mayor Erin Stewart, former state treasurer candidate Thad Gray and Rob Simmons, the first selectman of Stonington and a former congressman. Business representatives included Joe Brennan, the head of the Connecticut Business and Industry Association, and Gregory Butler, general counsel of Eversource Energy.
Lamont, a Democrat, extended a warm greeting to Jonathan Pelto, a liberal Democrat and former state legislator who clashed with Gov. Dannel P. Malloy’s administration on personnel issues and became frozen out during his eight years in office.
“Hey, Pelto, I haven’t seen you in ages!’’ Lamont said.
Pelto said later in an interview that he has known Lamont since 1984 when Pelto served as the campaign manager in Connecticut for U.S. Sen. Gary Hart’s presidential campaign. Pelto said he was struck by the diverse mix in the crowd that marked a sharp difference from the past three administrations.
Pelto argued that it has been years, under both Republican and Democratic governors, since outsiders were seriously welcomed for their views.
Lamont stepped to the microphone and told the enthusiastic crowd to keep the momentum going as the new administration begins on Jan. 9.
Transition officials originally thought they might have 200 attendees, but the crowd continued to grow.
Give us a road map to help move our state forward.
Lamont still has not announced two of the most important positions of his administration — chief of staff and budget director. Those announcements, he said, would likely be made within a week.
The policy committees were meeting Tuesday for three hours after lunch, and their recommendations are expected by Dec. 19.
“Give us a road map to help move our state forward,’’ Lt. Gov.-elect Susan Bysiewicz told the crowd.
Lamont, who received two standing ovations in about 10 minutes, had the same message.

I was just wondering, if you have a processor listed as four cores @ 3 GHz, does that mean 3 GHz per core, or 3GHz in total processing (0.75 GHz per core)?
A 3 GHZ CPU is 3 GHZ per core. There is no relationship between clock speed and the number of cores. Except for some unusual situations an 8 core CPU is a waste. Typical workloads cannot even use 4 cores to full advantage.

2. What led you to enter the Fellows Program? I kept seeing notices in our church newsletter that were promoting speakers and programs at CSLI. I had the chance to talk to another acquaintance who had just started the Year One Fellows Program and she said it was a wonderful challenge. I prayed about it and talked to people who I respected to get their advice. They encouraged me to apply.
3. How did the C.S. Lewis Institute’s Fellows Program equip you to become a more mature and effective disciple of Christ? The program gave me the tools to think of a response when someone would question me about my faith. The primary reason I applied to the program was to sharpen my apologetics. I knew what I believed, but I didn’t have a firm answer if someone would challenge me. Now when I’m involved in a discussion, I can gently communicate my faith, understand more where the other person is coming from, and ask the right questions. Because of the books that we’ve read, my own faith has been strengthened as well.
4. Give an example as to how the Fellows Program helped you in your life as a follower of Jesus. In order to train my kids to avoid making the same mistakes as I did (losing my temper, having nothing factual or valid with which to counter a point), I build apologetics into regular conversation with them and their friends. I ask them to think. We practice by talking about the day’s events and listening to the radio. What would you say if someone told you that God doesn’t exist? How can you find the motivation behind the words? What about that person on the radio? What do you think they believe? What’s wrong with their logic? What is their understanding? What could you tell that angry person about Jesus? Actually, I do the same thing with my own friends!
5. How has your experience with the Institute influenced your approach to sharing the gospel message with others? The solid, challenging monthly Bible studies have filled out what was once a very skeletal knowledge of scripture. The picture of grace and mercy, and seeing the thread of Christ throughout the entire Bible, has built my faith and given me a bigger and eternal vision of God and why we are here. I can encourage others, especially people who have no hope, that they are loved by a God who has their lives in His hand. It keeps me praying, which brings me closer to God.
6. How did the Fellows Program help you integrate your faith and your professional life? Your family life? What I’ve learned has become an integral part of my teaching and personal life! I never imagined that it would alter the way I teach, talk, and think every day. Near the end of my Year One program, I had prayed for a way to use what I had learned through the year. As I sat and listened to one of our Saturday lectures, I noticed that many adults had questions that should have been answered when they were in school! I felt called to teach teens how to critically listen and evaluate what people say and how to keep their Christian worldview in an increasingly difficult culture.
I teach several homeschool enrichment classes at Harvester Teaching Services-art from K-9th, science for K-1st, and a Humanities/cultural history class. After talking my idea over with several other people who I respect, I dropped one art class in order to teach a logic/apologetics class for 9th-10th grade. This is the point in a child’s education where they have serious questions and when they may start slipping away from Christianity. I use quite a bit of what I learned in the Fellows Program to engage my students to think and discern. Near the end of the year, after we’ve discussed how to identify several types of fallacy and how to find fact, we will use the CSLI Conversational Apologetics course for discussion. The kids are really enjoying it!
7. What was the biggest impact of the Fellows Program on your life? What would you tell a friend or work colleague about the Fellows Program?
“Every scrap and every view of my life has been changed for the better!” That best sums it up. I would tell a friend or co-worker to pray about the decision to be involved in the program. Then I would tell them that all of the reading, writing, and study was worth every second. It is a serious commitment, but the richness of what it offers is priceless.

HBA Encompass Pty Ltd have been our company and personal accountants since 2006. They have steered us through the taxation maze with expert ease and ensured that we met all required compliances and offered innovative and up to date ideas to improve our business.This organisation stands ahead of the pack. Proactive approach to accounting, always friendly and professional.
Thanks guys for your continued support. Being in the small business category we often find ourselves scratching our heads in dealing with the ATO. You guys just make it so much easier.
My tax is now finalised which was a weight off when dealing with paperwork. The staff at HBA Encompass are so professional and the service we received was 4 out of 5 (5 being the best).
My family, associated companies and entities have been using HBA Encompass since 2008.
Having been in business for a long time and also dealing with many accountants and firms on a regular basis through my business I feel I have had the opportunity to compare the services and skills of many professionals.
I am pleased to write this testimonial for the HBA Team and in particular Daren Cardow. The efficiency, skill and thoroughness they deliver is really unlike any other accountancy group I have encountered and I am always relieved that I have them looking after my accountancy needs. HBA are always up with the latest in technologies that streamline the client experience and I am grateful for this. Their level of expertise and professionalism I have really not encountered before and still find it to stand out from the crowd so to speak.
I also appreciate the ongoing communication and upskilling they endeavour to provide their clients which is invaluable.

Because all things beautiful and delicious, sausage balls, and SOPHIA.
My new favorite flavor of GU. I was really worried that I looked like Augustus Gloop after I ate it during my long run (~11 miles) the other day. I haven't been taking it on the regular, since my long runs haven't been all that...well...long. But one thing I learned during marathon training is that it's OKAY to take in nutrition, even if you aren't doing a 20-miler. It's best to learn your energy and nutrition/hydration timing out on the training run, rather than the race. Harry and I are hitting up the F^3 Lake Half Marathon this Saturday; I doubt I will race it, but rather treat it as a long run.
In fact, I'm pretty sure that the only reason why Harry and I signed up for it was to keep ourselves honest with running.:) And speaking of which, check out what came in the SWAG bag. New fave gloves!
Also, I'm so close to wearing shorts. It has been absolutely AMAZING out lately! I just finished my run in my birthday present (I consider snow a gift...).
That moment when it just doesn't matter that your socks don't match.. Harry and I lay our running socks out to dry, so there is a fit of socks laying on a bin in the back room (in which I termed "the void").
Side note: I <3 Feetures!
I came across some sound advice this morning. It is SERIOUSLY this simple. The dosage may be different for everyone, but the formula is always the same.
And as far as what I'm GOING to eat today, we have pizza in mind, with a side of cake (?!).
What's been the biggest life saver for you in terms of injury prevention?
Admit it...you know it's fun knowing that they don't sometimes.
DIRECT ORDER: Have some cake with me today!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hope that you go to town on something delicious. And I better see a picture of it on IG!
Feetures socks are the best. That is all.
Ive really started to listen to my body. I have been injured too many times for my liking in the past bc I tried to push through things when I should have rested. Now when I feel an ache or pain, I really try and figure out what's going on so I dont injure myself.
Happy Birthday! And I agree about the socks. Mine never match but if they do it is totally by accident!
happy birthday! i'm with you, socks can be pretty lame - but much more excited when colourful and not always matchy.
Oh man, I NEVER wear matching socks and my coworkers kill me for it.
How did you like the chocolate gu? The idea of it kind of weirded me out.
I always match my socks... I'm kind of neurotic about it actually. If I am putting away a load of laundry and I'm missing a sock, it drives me crazy, lol.

I have (one part) of my calculator object working fine as a single instance. My next step is to use a TabBarLayout to quickly compare different sets of equation values; 5 in my case.
// Set up instances of CalcXY.
Any help that could be provided would be much appreciated. Or if there is a better way of doing what I want to do, I would be grateful for some pointers.
Why are you not using QList<CalcXY*> instead ?
Your QList is a list of CalcXY objects. Trying to append "new CalcXY()" is trying to append a pointer to CalcXY (thus the CalcXY*).
If you look at dridk's example, you'll see that he has a QList<CalcXY*> which is a list of CalcXY pointers, which is what you need if you want to append an object created via new.
And there is no "void" in the constructor. this is a mistake from me..
Perfect. I missed that. Thanks.
And, I'm guessing that currCalcXY should be a CalcXY* too instead of a CalcXY, or perhaps you should just keep track of an integer which is an index into your QList of CalcXY pointers.
That is much cleaner! Ultimately, I need to get the QML to point to the currCalcXY.
So something like this I am guessing?
// Ignore the exitingField toggle. I'll incorporate dridk's template shortly.
to set the x-value of the current calculator.
Still in the process of mapping my decades old experience in NeXTSTEP programming to Qt (and C++) ;).
As expected, I am still short on some QML subtleties ;).
Result of expression 'calcXYPoolObject.getCurrCalc().setX' [undefined] is not a function.
So I am guessing that I need to cast 'calcXYPoolObject.getCurrCalc()' to (CalcXY *) because QML doesn't know the interface to the CalcXY class, but how to do that in QML. Any suggestions? I hope that I don't need to promote the entire interface of CalcXY into CalcXYPool.
BTW, I have confirmed using qDebug() that both the calcXYList is populated, and that in the snippet provided by mlong that we are returning a valid calcXY from the calcXYList.
So, I have tried another approach, which I thought might work, but still no success.
Following mlong's suggestion, I only keep track of the integer value of the currCalcXY. But since I don't know how to cast back to the calcXYObject in QML, I am trying to set/reset the calcXYObject inside C++ (but not in main). That way the QML can remain simple.
I thought that it was a good idea. Unfortunately, it didn't work :(.
