Who would you rather be? What relationship with food do you want to have?
A new study just published in Public Health Nutrition gives some surprising results about what prompts people to and prevents people from eating healthily.
The study's authors looked at fruit and vegetable consumption in six low-income, primarily minority neighborhoods in Chicago, and they found that convenience was key among those who eat more produce. Participants who agreed that they had "convenient access to quality" produce were more than twice as likely to eat the FDA-recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables, compared to those who said they did not have such access.
What didn't matter, though, was the price of produce. Those who reported high cost as a barrier to the consumption of produce ended up eating just as much as those who didn't.
Mark Bittman recently pointed out in the NYTimes that junk food isn't cheaper than healthy food: "a typical order for a family of four — for example, two Big Macs, a cheeseburger, six chicken McNuggets, two medium and two small fries, and two medium and two small sodas — costs, at the McDonald's a hundred steps from where I write, about $28. ...You can serve a roasted chicken with vegetables along with a simple salad and milk for about $14, and feed four or even six people."
The problem, as Bittman sees it, is that "cooking is defined as work, and fast food is both a pleasure and a crutch." My wife and I eat really well, practically all the time - both in terms of health and flavor. My friends and coworkers marvel when I bring in leftovers or describe what we had for lunch or dinner, especially on the weekends. One of the big reasons for this is that my wife sees cooking as an enjoyable hobby, not as an odious task to be performed in order to prevent us from starving. Sometimes, she'll even get up on Saturday or Sunday and say, "I feel like cooking all day today." And she will - and the result will be roasted leg of lamb, lemon custard, fruit tarts or pies, something with lobster or shrimp, etc., and there's usually enough of it for several meals/lunches later in the week. If you approach cooking like that, then it's easy to put in the work needed to eat really well.
All of this means that solving the problem of poor nutrition in the US is a monumentally complex task - it's as much about changing Americans' food culture and our collective relationship with food as much as anything else. It's not something that can be solved by simply giving the poor more money or building nice grocery stores everywhere (though that does help, according to the study cited above) - we have to re-learn why food is important and how to love and appreciate good food. I don't know how to do that, but I can say that the current food culture in many U.S. schools does nothing to help the situation. Kids are often given 30 minutes for lunch, which often breaks down thus: 5 minutes to get to the cafeteria, 10 minutes standing in line and paying for food, 10 minutes to eat, and 5 minutes to walk back to class. If a child has to consume most of his or her lunches in 10 minutes, it's simply not possible to develop a positive relationship with food.

Dan Stevens: Nationality, Net Worth, Family, Height, Weight, Age, and More
Take a look at Dan Stevens' nationality, net worth, and other interesting facts!
Dan Stevens is a popular English actor. He is most well-known for his role in the popular period drama series, "Downton Abbey" (2010–12). In 2014, he starred in the films, "The Guest" (2014) and "Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb." He has also starred in the films "Beauty and the Beast" (2017) and "The Man Who Invented Christmas" (2017). He had a starring role in the popular television series "Legion" for the period between 2017 and 2019.
Dan Stevens has experienced an exciting and successful career, to say the least.
Dan Stevens began his acting career in 2004 when he was cast in Peter Hall's production of "As You Like It." Two years later, he had a guest role in the miniseries, "The Line of Beauty." In 2007, he worked in the popular film, "Maxwell." The following year, he appeared in the miniseries, "Sense and Sensibility."

Dan Stevens' height is quite tall measuring 1.83 m. Dan Stevens weighs 77 kg. Being born on October 10, 1982, translates to an age of 40 years as of todays date (January 28, 2023).
You do feel a certain obligation to shows that raise your profile like 'Downton' has. But there are definitely other exciting opportunities out there.
I would like to do something modern and possibly funny.
I saw Mercury Prize-winners Alt-J for the first time recently, touring their debut album 'An Awesome Wave,' and I'm still riding the high: they're the most musically dynamic and exciting band to have poured tune into my lug holes live since Bellowhead.
At 13, in my first year of Tonbridge, I went up for the part of Macbeth. I was up against the 17- and 18-year-olds, but for some reason I got the part. It made me incredibly unpopular with my peers, but it was the English and drama teachers who stepped in to save me when others wanted me kicked out of the school.
Every night, half an hour before curtain up, the bells of St. Malachy's, the Actors' Chapel on New York's 49th Street, peal the tune of 'There's No Business Like Show Business.' If you walk the streets of the theatre district before a show and see the vast, enthusiastic lines it sounds like a calling: there is certainly no place like Broadway.

It may come as no surprise to people who know attorneys practicing mediation that most mediators are extremely passionate about their work, often regarding it as both a vocation and a cause.
The National Academy of Distinguished Neutrals (NADN) has identified five mediation and Alternative Dispute Resolution practitioners in the state of Michigan who have that kind of intense commitment to their work and who excel at it.
In addition to West Michiganians Jon Muth of Miller Johnson and Amy Glass of Michigan Arbitration & Mediation Services in Kalamazoo, the other Distinguished Neutrals on the NADN roster are the Hon. Barry Howard (ret.), Law Offices of Barry L. Howard in Bloomfield Hills; Edward Pappas of Dickinson Wright's Troy office, recent president of the State Bar of Michigan; and Alan Kanter, Vestevich, Mallender, DuBois & Dritsas, also in Bloomfield Hills.
NADN is a professional organization of attorneys " distinguished by their hands-on experience in the field of civil and commercial conflict resolution." The organization provides a roster of mediation and ADR practitioners that is available free on-line to interested members of the public, litigation attorneys and their staffs (at www.nadn.org/directory).
As NADN Executive Director Darren Lee puts it in the brochure NADN circulates to the legal profession, "I have spoken with hundreds of leading trial attorneys over the last few years and there has been a recurring theme - concern about the experience levels of selected mediators and arbitrators." In 2008, NADN stepped into the void created by that demand for certainty. It now has over 750 members in 40 states.
Muth now devotes 70% of his time to a mediation practice, of which a small percentage is arbitration, and 30% to being General Counsel at Miller Johnson.
He explains that the General Counsel position entails dealing with "coaching and counseling the 100 plus lawyers at the firm." He says that Miller Johnson encourages its attorneys to be very forthcoming if they have made a mistake and he assists them in proactively pursuing a solution. As General Counsel, he also handles a number of other duties for the firm, including resolving conflicts of interest and ethical dilemmas.
Muth brings the same commitment to his mediation practice he has brought to his litigation practice and to other causes over the years. As just one example, years ago he embarked on a cross-country bicycle ride to kickstart funding for creating the Legal Assistance Center.
His delight in solving them, and in the process, is evident. "I started out mediating like a good litigator and ended up litigating like a mediator," Muth says, at which point he stopped doing litigation altogether.
Muth feels that one tremendous benefit to NADN members is the ability to keep an online calendar, which those interested in using his service may access. "On their website, every mediator who's a member has an opportunity to post his or her schedule, so it really contributes to ease of scheduling." There is an icon on his Miller Johnson page which links to that schedule.
Amy Glass, who focuses on conducting statewide training and public policy/local government dispute resolution (as well as handling general civil and commercial cases), clearly shares Muth's intense commitment.
She adds, "A lot of what I bring to mediation and to the training of mediators is a curiosity about the ways people solve problems and the reason they choose a particular set of terms to solve their cases. That's incredibly fascinating to me.
According to NADN's Darren Lee, "We'll likely invite a handful more members on later in 2013, once we have time to survey defense/plaintiff bar in the state and combine that feedback with positive peer votes from the charter members." The stringent criteria for application are on the NADN website and include being in civil/commercial mediation practice or arbitration for a minimum of 5 years with at least 30% of the attorney's time devoted to such practice, as well as sponsorship or seconding by two existing NADN members.

About Memphis Monroe
We love attractive young women who enjoy stripping naked at the drop of a cowboy hat. Like our latest discovery: 20-year-old Ms. Memphis Monroe, who just moved to Tinseltown from Louisville, Kentucky.
"I'm a small-town girl with big-city dreams, I guess," says the 5-foot-6 wishful thinker. "I really want to be famous." The beauty sure knew how to get the ball rolling: posing for HUSTLER, of course. "I've only been here three days," Memphis gushes, "and already I'm getting naked in my first big magazine spread. That's so hot!"
The belle may have left the Bluegrass State behind, but not her penchant for riding. "Whether it's men or horses," she declares, "I know how to ride, and that means me on top. Always."
Memphis hasn't always been this free-wheeling and assertive. "My daddy's a retired preacher back home," she confides, "and I always had to be a good girl. Well, I'm in California now, and my daddy ain't here! So it's okay to be a little bad, right?"
Far be it from us to stop you, Memphis. We wish you every success in achieving your dreams and are so very proud to be your gateway magazine.

Thanksgiving dinner: How to find common ground on divisive issues
Five thorny issues that could come up on Thanksgiving Day and how you and your family could find common ground.
Thursday, November 22nd 2018, 11:52 AM EST
Thursday, November 22nd 2018, 12:41 PM EST
Analysis by Harry Enten, CNN
It looks like it's going to be a perfect Thanksgiving. The sides are plentiful, and the turkey is juicy.
Then Uncle Seymour brings up politics. Everyone at the table freezes because half the family leans to the left and half leans to the right.
A suave cousin could steer the conversation toward something less controversial, but sometimes you just can't avoid politics.
Here are five thorny issues that could come up on Thanksgiving Day and how you and your family could find common ground:
1. Gun control
Guns are one of the most polarizing issues in our nation. A slight majority (52%) in a recent Pew Research Center poll believed it was more important to control gun ownership than the 44% who said it was more important to protect Americans' rights to own guns. There is a large gender and partisan gap on the issue. It also splits along urban and rural lines.
Far less controversial is preventing people with mental illness from owning guns. In the Pew poll, 89% of Democrats and 89% of Republicans favor this proposal. A Fox News poll, which phrased the question slightly differently, found that 84% of voters (including 89% of Democrats and 80% of Republicans) favor mental health checks for all gun purchases. One of the big changes to Florida law following the Parkland shooting was to beef up mental health checks. This law was passed with bipartisan support and over the objections of the National Rifle Association.
There has probably not been a more important issue in American politics than health care over the last decade. Democrats passed Obamacare, which played a major role in Republicans taking control of the House in the 2010 midterms. Republicans then tried to repeal Obamacare, which, in part, led to Democrats winning back the House majority in 2018. More Americans like than dislike the law at this point, though it's still divisive.
It's best to focus on the parts of Obamacare that tend to have much higher support. Specifically, Americans of all political stripes are for ensuring that those with pre-existing conditions get covered. In August, the Kaiser Family Foundation asked Americans how important it was to maintain the law that "prohibits health insurance companies from denying coverage because of a person's medical history" and "prohibits health insurance companies from charging sick people more." Overall, 75% and 72% respectively said it was very important. Even among Republicans, 58% and 56% said it was very important.
3. The Republican tax cuts
Some thought Republican tax cuts passed by this Congress were going to help them maintain their House majority. It didn't. The law has remained relatively unpopular, and it may have cost Republicans House seats in places where residents were hurt by them.
It's best to steer to conversation toward a tax cut most people support. One reason the Republican tax cut wasn't popular was that most voters thought it was aimed primarily at the upper class. Americans are far more in favor tax cuts in which the middle class would benefit more. During the heat of the tax cut debate last year, 60% of Americans said in a CBS News poll that they would like to see taxes on the middle class decreased. Unlike most other proposals CBS News polled, a tax cut for the middle class received bipartisan support with 69% of Republicans, 57% of independents and 56% of Democrats in favor of one.
4. Immigration
There have been few issues as polarizing as illegal immigration over the last few years. Indeed, when I looked at which issues generated the greatest difference in response from Democrats and Republicans, the yearning to build a wall along the US-Mexico border came in at No. 1. In an October CBS News poll, 76% of Republicans favored building a wall compared to only 9% of Democrats.
Focus instead on legal immigration. Democrats and Republicans do generally agree on this topic: they like it. In a 2018 Gallup poll, 92% of Democrats said legal immigration is a good thing for the country. Among Republicans, 80% said immigration is a good thing for the country. According to the Pew Research Center, the percentage of Americans who want legal immigration decreased has dropped to 24% (a low since at least 2001). Decreasing legal immigration is a minority position among Democrats (16%) and Republicans (33%).
5. Washington politicians
Bringing up President Donald Trump at a family gathering is like wearing a New York Yankees shirt in Boston. It's bound to set off long stares and start potential fights. Trump is loved by Republicans and despised by Democrats. Mentioning Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi is probably not going to end much better.
To bring people together, it's best to keep it broad. Trust in government in Washington remains at just 18%, per the Pew Research Center. That holds with Democrats (15%) and Republicans (22%). Emblematic of that is both Democrats and Republicans hate Congress. Overall, only 21% of Americans approve of the job Congress is doing. Republican approval stands at just 35%, while just 9% of Democrats give Congress the thumbs-up. With congressional control split starting next year, it's likely that both sides will continue to have something to complain about.

This article is the fourth in a series exploring alternatives to the traditional private practice.
Many physicians have made the jump. They've gotten out of the business of running a private practice and into the business of being an employee. Others joined a hospital or health system as an employee right out of medical school — typically, younger physicians and female docs.
To be sure, many physicians are satisfied with their move. Whether it's a hospital, clinic, academic or government setting, they've found new lives as employed physicians.
But others are not so happy. A recent Medscape Medical News survey asked more than 4,600 U.S. physicians about their work environment and job satisfaction. Among physicians who moved from self-employment to employment, about 49 percent said they are happier now, while 25 percent said they were less happy. By comparison, 70 percent of doctors who moved from employment to self-employment reported they were happier, and just 9 percent said they were less happy.
There are certainly pitfalls to becoming an employed physician. Although most practitioners probably expected some loss of autonomy and control, many have found the reality of answering to a boss tougher than anticipated. Less than half of employed doctors said they are satisfied with their degree of autonomy at work, while about a quarter are neutral and another quarter are unsatisfied, according to Medscape's 2014 Employed Doctors Report. Employed doctors complained about the profusion of rules and the lack of input into how they practice.
Direct Pay – Primary care providers charge patients a monthly fee that covers unlimited sick and well visits as well as basic in-house lab services. This model also includes direct contracting with employers.
Concierge – In this niche practice model, providers accept insurance but also require a set annual fee that covers services private insurers generally do not, such as comprehensive annual physicals, home or worksite visits, and even accompanying patients to specialists' offices. For that fee, patients typically are guaranteed same-day appointments and 24/7 access by cell phone and/or the Internet, as well as a host of services including basic blood tests, flu shots and yearly gynecologic exams.
Medicare Subscription – Similar to a concierge practice, providers apply an additional fee for Medicare patients to cover services not covered by their Medicare plan.
Telemedicine – Once the domain of rural care, telemedicine is gaining acceptance and popularity — especially in specialties such as psychiatry and oncology, and for specialty consultations. Accordingly, commercial telemedicine companies are developing new tools to help physicians develop a secure "telepresence" with their patients.
House Calls – Some providers are building practices solely on the house call model, targeting baby boomers with the income and inclination to seek in-home care. These providers accept payments via their smartphones or tablets and use a small or home office to complete paperwork and charting.
Nursing Home – Similar to the house call model, physicians see patients onsite at an extended care facility — again, not having to invest in a brick-and-mortar office.
On-Call Specialty Practice – This model appeals to specialty physicians — typically surgeons, who utilize the office of the referring physician to see pre- and post-surgical patients.
Micro-practice – The ultimate "skinny" practice, a micro-practice entails a physician working lean and mean without any assistants. Using just a computer/EHR system and a single exam room, a micro-practice physician might see just eight to 10 patients a day.
The push toward greater integration among hospitals and physicians has certainly led to a rise in physician employment. Yet, as Medscape's Employed Doctors Report clearly shows, many physicians have grown weary of working for others.
Fortunately, medical practice innovation — from solo micro-practices to patient-centered medical homes and direct pay practices — is one of the keys to private practice being a viable alternative to salaried employment.

The day's papers report on unsolved thefts, free head lice medicine for families and Angela Merkel's visit to Helsinki.
Daily Helsingin Sanomat reports that most larcenies go unsolved in Finland. According to statistics by the Police University College, police were able to clear 3,150 offences between January and September of this year, while about 41,500 remain unsolved.
In 80 smaller municipalities, especially in Lapland and Åland, the police did not solve a single crime over the nine-month period, HS said.
Among the largest cities, the percentage of closed cases was the lowest in Vantaa, Helsinki and Tampere - between four and five percent - while about nine percent of crimes were solved in Pori, Oulu and Espoo. Nationally, the success rate hovers at about seven percent.
According to the National Police Board, police focuse on more serious crime.
"Frankly, we do not have adequate resources to spend time looking into petty larceny. Our efforts are concentrated on preventing and investigating serious crime," said Heikki Lausmaa from the Board.
Despite the low success rate, Lausmaa recommends that people report all crimes to the police.
"Only if crimes are reported, do we get an idea of the kind of criminal activity taking place. Sometimes one report can lead us to more large-scale crime," he added.
Daily Turun Sanomat writes about a proposal by Children's Ombudsman Tuomas Kurttila to provide families with free medication to treat head lice and pinworms.
According to Kurttila, if such medicines were free of charge, parents would take fewer sick days, and children's well-being would improve. In addition, families would feel less stressed and financially strained.
"Experts tell us that head lice and pin worm problems in schools and daycare centres can turn into epidemics, because some of the families can't afford to buy treatments," Kurttila said in a statement.
As a result, he proposes that schools, daycare institutions and children's health centres provide such medicines to families free of charge at their request.
The Ombudsman has sent the proposal to the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health, TS said.
Meanwhile, tabloid Ilta-Sanomat reports that traffic in Helsinki will be affected a meeting of the European Parliament's European People's Party attended by German Chancellor Angela Merkel, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and other top EU politicians on Wednesday and Thursday.
The two-day conference will take place at Messukeskus, the Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre. As a result, routes between the venue and the airport, as well as some streets in the center, may be closed for short periods of time, IS says.
During the meeting, EPP will elect its lead candidate for the EU elections in May next year.
Hungary's prime minister Viktor Orbán and his Irish counterpart Leo Varadkar are also expected to attend the conference, IS says.
Some nurses are university graduates whose qualifications can land good positions in other parts of Europe, but that is not always the case in Finland.
The Finnish national team placed first in the semi-finals making them well-placed for victory as they head into Friday's finals.
The timetable for government formation will run a few days later than originally expected, says SDP chair Antti Rinne.

Q: "No Controller specified for top level element" when programatically setting a Controller I have an FXML file that has buttons with onMouseClicked attributes. I do not set a Controller up in the FXML because I have constructor injected data I want to provide to the Controller.
  <Button mnemonicParsing="false" onMouseClicked="#newWidgetRequestButtonClicked" text="New Widget..." />

I'm setting the Controller programatically, and my controller contains the methods specified in the FXML. The Controller functions execute, and everything works fine.
FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("MainView.fxml"));
MyController controller = new MyController(...);
loader.setController(controller);

My problem lies in IntelliJ's inspection of the .fxml files. On each occurrence of the function reference, it reports "Error:(45, 54) No controller specified for top level element". I am looking at IntelliJ's inspection rules and do not see this rule in the JavaFX section. Again, the program builds and runs just fine, so it is not a real compilation error. I want to disable this error notification.
How can I avoid this error?

A: You need to add top level element fx:controller.
Lets say you have a basic fxml file with a just anchor pane with a button like the fxml below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<?import javafx.scene.control.*?>
<?import java.lang.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.*?>

<AnchorPane maxHeight="-Infinity" maxWidth="-Infinity" minHeight="-Infinity" minWidth="-Infinity" prefHeight="400.0" prefWidth="600.0" xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/8" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1">
   <children>
      <Button layoutX="102.0" layoutY="50.0" mnemonicParsing="false" text="Button" />
   </children>
</AnchorPane>

Your top level element will be the anchor pane in this case. If you want to use action buttons like onMouseClicked you need to tell to fxml you controller class in your top level element (in this case anchor pane) like below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<?import javafx.scene.control.*?>
<?import java.lang.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.*?>

<AnchorPane maxHeight="-Infinity" maxWidth="-Infinity" minHeight="-Infinity" minWidth="-Infinity" prefHeight="400.0" prefWidth="600.0" xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/8" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1" fx:controller="com.example.Controller">
   <children>
      <Button fx:id="buttonExample"  layoutX="102.0" layoutY="50.0" mnemonicParsing="false" text="Button" />
   </children>
</AnchorPane>

fx:controller="com.example.Controller" line says that my control class is Controller which is in the com.example package.
Also your elements id's should begin with fx like in the example (fx:id="buttonExample").

A: Even, I don't like those notifications. I set the controllers programatically. To disable it, you need to set the highlighting level to none.
To do this, open your fxml file and at the very bottom on the right side, you will see a hector icon. Click on the hector icon and set the highlight level to none by dragging the slider.
You will need to restart the IDE for the changes to take effect. The highlighting will be set to none for that file only. Other files won't see any change in their highlighting behavior until we set their highlighting level to none again.
Use the following link, if you were unable to find hector icon.
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/status-bar.html

A: It is nice task to find out the work-around for this issue. The IntelliJ is able to follow the reference via attribute fx:controller="your.package.here.MyController".
The defined parameters should be passed the controller new MyController(...);.
This is the specified task.
So, how about integrate JavaFX and CDI? Instead of annotating the attributes, you can add the @Inject annotation on a constructor.
In this way you can create an instance of the controller with specified parameters and set the reference using the fx:controller attribute.
https://github.com/rusty85/javafx-cdi-demo

A: I had absolutely same error in identical use case. Solution was stupidly easy:
each method, what is assigned with the callbacks in the fxml file, should be annotated in the controller with @FXML tag.
Even if it's method not yet implemented
So
<Button mnemonicParsing="false" onMouseClicked="#newWidgetRequestButtonClicked" text="New Widget..." />

Requires also according method defined in the controller class:
@FXML
void newWidgetRequestButtonClicked() {}

Jews Went With Obama; Obama Went With Jews
By Jonathan Mark	November 12, 2008, 12:00 am Edit
After two years of Zionist and Arabist scrutiny, President-elect Barack Obama united Jew and Muslim as never before – at least in the United States. Obama was supported by an estimated 78 percent of Jews, and 89 of Muslims.
Despite the lofty Jewish numbers, among the highest for any presidential candidate in recent decades, it had been the consensus among some of the finest Jewish journalists and analysts that Obama Jewish totals would be deflated by racism, a devilish charge, although if Justice Clarence Thomas was running for anything we can be sure those same analysts would insist that voting against Thomas would not be racist but good sense.
Shmuel Rosner of Haaretz, writing alongside The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg in the online magazine, Jewcy (Oct. 20),
suggested: "Is it Israel that makes Jewish voters uncomfortable about Barack Obama? You [Goldberg] have written a lot about Obama and the Jews (as I did too), and you seem to think that something else is at play here – dare we say racism?"
Goldberg replied, "I would have to say that simple racism motivates much of the anti-Obama anxiety in corners of the Jewish community. I don't know what else explains it."
Then, on the eve of the election, Goldberg, blogging in The Atlantic Monthly, conceded, "No other white ethnic group will support Barack Obama at anywhere the level Jews will," he predicted, and no other white group did.
Many say that the push toward Obama for many Jews, and others, was the economic crisis and deep concerns about Sarah Palin in the White House.
After numerous months of Jewish opinion-makers insisting that mention of either Obama's middle name or his father's religion wasn't fair play, by Election Day the issue became the proverbial dog that didn't bark.
By contrast, outside the United States, Obama's Islamic background was not seen as a smear but an asset. In Al-Jazeera, for example, one columnist wrote (Nov. 5), "Obama is a Christian, but given his background as the son of a man born into the Muslim faith (as well as the resonance of his traditionally Muslim middle name) I expect that much of the Muslim world will view Obama optimistically. He will have an opportunity to remake the negative U.S. image in many Muslim countries if he chooses to reach out to them."
Despite the newsreels on American television depicting numerous countries celebrating Obama's election, African and Arab newspapers were somewhat skeptical, warning that either American support for Israel goes, or the global honeymoon for Obama is over.
In Uganda, Allan Tacca, columnist for the Daily Monitor (Nov. 9) felt Obama's background was worth discussing because of where it might lead: With the Arab-Israeli conflict "probably as intractable as ever, Obama, previously welcomed by many in the 'Arab Street' as (at least) a half-Muslim, may now rapidly evolve into a fully fledged apostate…. Because initially he was so loved, Obama's fall could be quite spectacular."
In the London-based Asharq Alawsat (Nov. 8), Osman Mirghani said "Obama is a young, ambitious, Machiavellian politician [who] spent many years living in a white household under the care of his grandmother who had a 'fear of black men who passed by her on the street,' according to Obama himself," but if Obama acts "to rectify historical mistakes," then "he will become an inspirational leader not only for America but for the entire world."
But if he doesn't, "then he will be judged harshly, the degree of which will be similar to the level of hope and anticipation that has been pinned on him and his historical win."
Editorials in the Khaleej Times (Nov. 7 and 10) in the relatively moderate United Arab Emirates, reminded readers that "Palestinians – millions of them – have been killed, driven, maimed, jailed and driven from their homes…. [Is] it any wonder then that young Palestinians see their only way to progress in 'martyrdom' or blowing themselves up?" And yet, "Obama went to great lengths to express his support for Israel, often angering Palestinians and Arabs. We believe those were the electoral compulsions of candidate Obama."
Yes, said the Khaleej Times, Obama's victory "generated so much euphoria and such incredible joy around the world [but] these expectations and hopes of miraculous changes from Obama exert great pressure on the young President-elect." Not just Americans but "the world" has "given him [an] extraordinary mandate and expects extraordinary results too…."
In Egypt's Al-Ahram (Nov. 6-12), Ayman El-Amir writes that Obama "did everything to pander to Israel…. That is why the Arab mainstream was as indifferent to the candidacy of Barack Obama as it was to that of John McCain." If there is to be real change, Obama "will have to debunk the myth that Israeli military supremacy is the best guarantee of U.S. interests," and "break the paradigm of securing peace for Israel on occupied Arab and Palestinian territories."
Also in that venerable Cairo paper, Salama A. Salama believe that Obama will likely "do as little as possible about the Middle East during the first stage of his presidency, if only to avoid having to deal with the Zionist lobby."
Perhaps the Jews, particularly the Republican ones, can take some solace in the fact that their fears of Obama in summer have given way to Arab fears of Obama (and the Zionist lobby) in November.
Ali Abunimah, editor of Electronic Intifada and a former friend of Obama, let alone a participant in the infamous party for Rashid Khalidi that the McCain campaign tried, in desperation, to tar Obama with, now concludes, to his regret, that Obama is pro-Israel.
Remember when Obama's middle name haunted Jewish voters? Writing in Electronic Intifada (Nov. 5), Abunimah writes, "racists and pro-Israel hardliners…. might take comfort in another middle name," Israel – the middle name of Rahm Emanuel, Obama's pick for White House chief of staff.
Emanuel, son of an Irgunist, is "likely to disappoint those who hoped the president-elect would break with the [Bush] administration's pro-Israel policies." Emanuel, writes Abunimah, "has been a consistent and vocal pro-Israel hardliner."
After two years of Zionists and Arabists jockeying for position in the Obama camp, Abunimah concedes defeat: "Obama publicly distanced himself from friends and advisers suspected or accused of having 'pro-Palestinian' sympathies. There are no early indications of a more balanced course."


The impressive results which have been reached by the agricultural company "Zorya" for quite a short period of time impel the management of the company to new achievements. The company is targeted at developing in different areas, and is not going to stop at what has already been achieved. No doubt, "Zorya" is a trustworthy company. It is a capable and reliable player in the market with dynamically growing indices despite quite hard and unstable situation in the country. The answer to the question whether 'Zoria' is worth investing is obvious. Sure, it is! In this case you will not only contribute to the company's rapid growth but also get a profit as an investor.

Q: Entity Framework LINQ Where condition is not working for string I have a database field Contact varchar(50) which contains data "8801866968342".
In entity model I have public string Contact { get; set; }
  string contact="8801866968342";
 //following code is not working-
 var bp = db.BP.Where(s => s.Contact == contact).FirstOrDefault(); //bp==null here

//But this code is working.
 var bp = db.BP.Where(s => s.Id==2).FirstOrDefault();

How can I get working the string where condition?

A: Use the s.Contact.Contains("value") which will be translated to LIKE '%value%' in T-SQL

A: Try using Equals():
var bp = db.BP.Where(s => s.Contact.Equals("8801866968342")).FirstOrDefault();

Or:
var bp = db.BP.Where(s => string.Equals(s.Contact, "8801866968342", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)).FirstOrDefault();

Also, check the collation used by your Contact field on the database. I suppose this is a numerical string.

The Samsung Q900 is a pre-order with an incredible price of around £ 90,000. The official sales of the device will start on October 28th.
South Korean technology giant Samsung, the 8-inch 8-inch television screen size of the Samsung Q900 was opened for pre-order. The Samsung Q900 pre-order price, which will be on sale on October 28, is exactly 15 thousand dollars. So the price of this 90 special lar television is about 90 thousand TL, excluding taxes, transportation and other charges.
We must admit that the Samsung Q900 is not the most expensive television we have seen. When the 4K TVs first went on sale, there were models with much more astronomical prices. But the question is not 'Does this television deserve this money?', But Do you really need to buy this TV? Today, there are 8K content that is extremely limited.
You'll get $ 15,000 and you won't find enough 8K content to satisfy you on the TV. So getting this device is too unnecessary for the time being. Of course, 8K content will expand one day and you will be able to find content that you can watch on your television. But on that day, 8K TVs will become widespread and prices will be more logical. Still, the decision is yours.

Zápasení se věnuje od 11 let v rodném Ándímešku. Specializuje se na řecko-římský styl pod vedením Iradže Esfandíjárífára. V íránské mužské reprezentaci se pohyboval od roku 2009 ve váze do 66 kg. V roce 2012 startoval jako úřadující mistr světa na olympijských hrách v Londýně, ale nezvládl roli favorita a vypadl ve čtvrtfinále s Francouzem Steeve Guénotem 1:2 na sety.

Od roku 2014 startoval ve vyšší váze do 75 (74) kg. V roce 2016 na olympijských hrách v Riu prohrál v úvodním kole s Dánem Markem Madsenem těsně 1:1 (Dán skóroval jako poslední). Madsen ho však svým postupem do finále vytáhl do oprav, ve kterých postoupil do souboje o třetí místo proti Maďaru Péteru Bácsimu. Zápas s Maďarem začal ve velkém tempu, po strhu a dvou vytlačení vedl v desáté sekundě 3:0 na technické body. V závěru první minuty však nechal Maďara snížit zvratem na 3:2 a tímto výsledkem skončil první poločas. Ve druhém poločase navýšil vedení vytlačením na 4:2, poslední bod přidal za druhou Bácsiho pasivitu a zvítězil 5:2 na technické body. Získal bronzovou olympijskou medaili.

After my friend shared the video of the new "myspace" the I fell in love with the background music playing while showing the whole site. I even browsed it on grooveshark and listen to it almost everyday and it gave me a happy vibes feeling! not anymore. After I watched the music video, I have to say good bye to this song, maybe. (EMO?? HAHA) Urgh. Before you watch it, have you seen the new MySpace?


Unless you believe in a particularly strict version of determinism in which referees are gods, you have to admit that football is a pretty random sport.
Any match that ends with a one-goal difference could certainly have gone either way, with bad bounces, poor decisions and a breath of wind being among the tiny factors that could swing it. That being the case, league tables – like school league tables – are relatively meaningless.
Unfortunately they do decide promotion, delegation and trophies, but a moment's reflection will tell you that it's all luck, and there's no use making a fuss about it.
Take Norwich City. They are likely to be relegated, but most of their losses have been by single-goal margins, and even some of the ones that weren't could have been victories.
In the first game of the season they lost 3-1. But they had a perfectly good goal – actually an excellent one, according to the opposing manager – disallowed, a penalty turned down, and the third goal by the opposition came in the final minute when they were desperately trying to retrieve the situation. So clearly, they could have won 2-1.
In the recent game against relegation rivals Sunderland they had, if I remember rightly, 14 corners against nil. The first Sunderland goal was a contentious penalty, the second came after an unpenalised foul on the Norwich centre back, and Norwich had an obvious penalty (possibly two) not given. So that could easily have been a draw, or a win if they hadn't missed an open goal. But the records will tell you they lost 0-3.
This is not a desperate attempt to demonstrate that Norwich City deserve to stay in the Premiership and pick up all the gold at the end of the rainbow. Who could make such a judgement? Only someone who took into account all the little knocks and accidents, the unlucky injuries and appalling decisions that make football such a fascinating – or, looked at another way, pointless – game.
I don't want to have a go at referees. Well, that's not strictly true: I do want to have a go at referees, because some of their decisions are unbelievable. Why is manhandling the opponent in the penalty area not penalised, or only penalised sometimes? Why does Vardy get a penalty when he runs in front of the centre back and falls over?
But of course refereeing is difficult. I've done it only a few times, and I found it very, very difficult. And this is not an attack on referees; it's an attack on the idea that the right team wins. Sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn't – usually when Liverpool is involved.
So why watch at all? Well, some of it is beautiful. A lot of it isn't, which is why I prefer highlights. But as a consistent and accurate measure of the excellence of competing teams? Give us a break. Only a pundit would think that.

Two Carnivals In A Day…
First of all, I apologise for the lack of updates. Not that I have nothing to talk about but I was quite busy with my own commitments and helping a cousin in need and when I wanted to use the PC at home to blog, my pesky younger sister needed to use it for her school project. So I thank you for being patient enough to wait on my next posting.
Before I move on, I would just like to thank each and everyone of you who had commented on my last entry, the supposed experiment on my usage of Malay, which I had long wanted to do. Contrary to what most of you had complimented, I think I'll be the first to admit that on hindsight, the entry sounded a bit exaggerated, it was not natural and it ended up sounding like a poem. You might say that I should have used street language instead but I'm the kind who prides myself to pen my thoughts either in proper English or proper Malay, as opposed to speaking it orally. Since most of you felt that the language used was a bit too difficult to comprehend (even though it sounded normal to me), I guess it will be sometime before I pull off such a stunt again. It's like striking the lottery if I were to do it again… *grin*
Singapore is quite a "carnival" country ain't it??? There will always be some form of carnival going on like once every 2-3 months somewhere around the country. Then we being so family-oriented or curious over what's in store, would set aside time, just to savour on whatever games, freebies, displays and exhibits they have in store. Well I'm sure you will know what I would be talking about next. Yes, it's about the Carnival @ Marina event from 6th-14th August. I had commented about how I was disappointed most of the games stations had closed when I went there with Aida and my colleagues on the eve of National Day, so Aida and I went there again last Saturday to savour what we did not get to see the other night.
We reached the place close to noon, only to find those stations that I had badly wanted to try out, notably the Flying Fox was out of bounds, as in there was no one manning the station. The Bungee Trampoline station had an age limit I think, judging by the kids who were seen playing on it. In the end I had to make do with playing the X-Box console at the X-Box Gazebo station. Played my favourite Winning Eleven 8 football game against some guys who joined in. From there, we made our way to the Static Display area.
There, we saw some of the vehicles and equipment used by our Army, Air Force, Navy & the Home Team. I even met two of my ex-campmates who were there on duty. After three and a half years leaving the Army, I was surprised there were new things that have been incorporated of late to the service. Mobile equipment like Field Kitchen, Field Refrigerator, Field Laundry and Field Sanitary are some of the new things that have been recently adopted. These equipment are basically used on long deployments or missions and came into prominent use when the Tsunami tragedy broke out last year. I dunno if they are also used during in-camp trainings. I hope they do cos I cannot stand without bathing for three days out in the fields. Below are the pics I took of the mentioned equipment:
As the weather was hot and we were perspiring, going into the Battle Command Centre was a welcome change as the tent where it was situated, was air-conditioned. I enjoyed cooling myself more than looking at the command centre. There was even a booth showing satellite photos of our residential areas and I was impressed the satellite feeds captured the details of my area down to a T. What I was most impressed about was the feed of the football field next to my block. Like normal neighbourhood football fields, it was damaged. "Was" because the feed was captured in January and the field has since been returfed. The feed showed the exact shape of the damage done to the field. Impressive huh??? By the way, the research team and the captured feeds are based at the research centre, situated at the National University of Singapore.
From there we made our way to where the sound of firing machine-guns were heard. Keen to rekindle memories of my National Service days, I participated at the Urban Fighter station. Here we were divided into groups of four and we had to shoot the other team and seize our flag which was erected in the middle of the obstacle course. Using the Singapore Assault Rifle of the 21st Century (SAR-21), we had to shoot the sensors attached to our opponents. Likewise we were also wearing them for our opponents to shoot us. I was shot but I was still the hero who seized our team's flag when our "adversaries" had their guard down. I felt like a kid at the obstacle course. The pictures below don't lie…
We left the place quickly as we had another carnival to go to. After washing up and saying our Zuhur at Moulana Mohd Ali Mosque, we took a cab to Fort Canning, where RIA 89.7FM & Warna 94.2FM were organising "Karnival Muzik". To tell you the truth, I was only there to watch hip-hop group Bonafide Vintage F'lava and the Unsangkerables, made up of our own comedians Ishak Ahmad, Arif S Shamsudin, Alias Kadir and Hamzah Adon. Aida and I left once Unsangkerables' slot ended which was about 6:10pm. I was also rushing home as I did not want to miss the opening match of the Barclays English Premier League season featuring Everton and my beloved Manchester United. A good thing I did not stay long at the carnival, as something "eventful" and shameful happened after the concert ended. How I wish I could describe what happened but as I was not there, it is not fair to relate nor comment further. All I can say is that it was a shameful incident, one that should not have happened in full view of the people who were there.
Oh yes, Aida and I went to savour the last night of the Fireworks Festival after all. And we watched the show from the Esplanade Bridge along with my colleague Azhar, his darling Farhana and his mum, whom we bumped into straight after Maghrib prayers at Moulana Mohd Ali Mosque. Azhar had been coy about his partner prior to the meeting, but he could not hide this time around. I was surprised that since it was the first time we met, Farhana did not look out of place and was very friendly, chatty and affable throughout. They look meant for each other and we all had a great time getting to know one another through dinner after that.
Nothing eventful happened this past week… Well actually something did happen yesterday morning. The RIA listeners fraternity was rocked by the apparent exodus of arguably the "most popular" group of listeners to have been formed in RIA's 15-year history. Though we do not know what transpired the apparent walkout of half the group, it is widely believed that it has got something to do with the shameful incident that happened last Saturday at Fort Canning after the "Karnival Muzik" had ended. Those who used to be close to the group predicted months ago of a self-disintegration waiting to happen and happen it did, though we do not know for sure what were the reasons behind it.
I don't think it is fair for me to comment but since the remaining group members chose to wash the dirty laundry on air yesterday, then they were just allowing others to talk about it, which is what yours truly is doing right now. As a listener, I'm quite peeved for the fact that the remaining members of the group sounded cynical and vengeful towards those that left the group through the dedications and sms-es sent, whereas I did not hear one single bad word coming from those who walked out on the group. Which made me wonder, perhaps there could be more than meets the eye, that lead to the mass walkout. Which then made me ponder and reflect, thinking perhaps the comments I made about them in my blog back in March, could be justified and vindicated after all on hindsight… I dunno but I'm not one to gloat over somebody else's grief, nor be pompous to say, "I told you so…" I sincerely hope that either parties could pick up the pieces and move on, rather than harbour any grudges against one another.
I just hope that whatever has happened, could turn out to be a blessing in disguise, in that it would signal the end of the cold war between the listeners that had started when the group was first formed last year. I still loved the first 2 months of the getting-to-know period when everyone was close to the other and nothing could go wrong. The friendship and bond was justified when about 50 of us listeners swarmed Singapore General Hospital to visit one of the listeners who had undergone a surgery. It showed the camaraderie we used to have, like one big happy family. But sadly, it was not to be and till now, most of us felt the emergence of such a secluded faction divided the listeners in friendship, ideologies, attitudes and mentalities…

High costs, low supply dampen new-home sales
Go Back to the Homepage / High costs, low supply dampen new-home sales
Aug 19, 2021 Tracy Cross & AssociatesIn The News
Prices were up about $45,000, according to a consultant's survey, but one homebuilder says that's all taken up by the fast-rising cost of materials.
Dennis Rodkin
Crain's Chicago Business
A rendering of a pair of townhouses on Geranium Way in M/I Homes' Meadow Square development in Rolling Meadows.
Local new-home sales in the Chicago area lost much of their early 2021 vigor in the spring, largely because prices jumped as building-material costs spiked. Also, inventory was unable to keep up with high pandemic-era demand.
After a first quarter when sales were about 76 percent above the norm, sales in the second quarter were ahead of average by about 13 percent, according to a report released today by Tracy Cross Associates, a Schaumburg-based consultant to the homebuilding industry.
"What happened in the second quarter is that with supply-chain issues and the cost of materials, builders really had no choice but to move prices up," said Erik Doersching, executive vice president of Tracy Cross.
At the region's five largest homebuilders, prices went up an average of $45,000 between the second quarter of 2020 and the same period in 2021, according to Cross' analysis.
One prolific homebuilder confirmed Cross' observation about prices.
"I've raised prices by 45 grand since the beginning of the year" at the Lexington Trace development in west suburban Warrenville, said Jeff Benach, the principal of Chicago-based Lexington Homes.
Benach said that because of rising commodity prices, "my margins are still at or below what they were at the beginning of the year. My costs have been going up faster than my prices."
Even with the price increases, Benach said, his sales have been far faster than expected. He rolled out Lexington Trace about a year ago, expecting to sell its 106 units in roughly two years. As of today he has four or five homes left to sell there.
"We're going to get out of there a little over a year earlier than planned," Benach said.
If sticker shock from high prices has turned away some potential buyers, Bob and Mary Aloisio of Dream Town Realty haven't seen it. To the contrary, they had clients who were interested in a three-bedroom townhouse under construction on Geranium Way in Rolling Meadows. In February, developer M/I Homes was asking $343,600 for the home, in the Meadow Square development.
When supply chain problems began to slow down homebuilding all over the country, the developer put a one-month pause on deliveries "and said, 'when this one is ready, the price will be about 15 to 20 percent higher,'" Bob Aloisio said.
The buyers were willing to accept both the delay and the higher price. On June 21 they closed on the purchase at $391,570, or 14 percent over the February asking price.
Doersching said builders' supply hasn't been keeping up with demand, regardless of the price increases. Despite a vibrant housing market since a few months into the pandemic, only four new developments started during the second quarter, Doersching said.
"More typical would be 15, plus or minus," he said. The shortage is partly because the upturn in the housing market came as a surprise, too fast for builders to get land and plans out in time. Another factor, both Doersching and Benach said, is that municipalities' approvals process has been slower because of having to set up virtual meetings and other pandemic-related changes in the process.
Rising prices shifted new homebuyers' attention to a more affordable product: townhouses and condominiums. Builders sold 592 attached homes—townhouses and condos—in the second quarter in the Chicago area, an increase of 26 percent from a year earlier, Cross reported. Single-family home sales totaled 704, an increase of 11 percent from the year before.
The shift was most pronounced at developments by Lennar, the Miami-based builder that sold the most Chicago-area new homes during the quarter. In the second quarter of 2020, Lennar's sales were about two-thirds single-family homes, one-third attached homes. A year later, the mix was half and half.
Altogether, builders sold 1,296 new homes in the Chicago area during the second quarter, according to the Cross report, compared to 1,257 in the same period of 2020.
That's an increase of 3.1 percent, but because 2020 was an unusual year, Crain's also looked at average sales during the quarter from the past three years and found that sales were up 13 percent from that figure. Thanks to the first quarter's big increase in sales, Chicago-area new-home sales in the first half of the year were up about 38 percent from the first six months of 2020. Doersching said he doesn't foresee surges in coming quarters and expects the year to end with sales up about 10 percent from 2020.

Home Private Equity News & Analysis Private Equity Professionals Carlyle founders leave parting thoughts on PE
Carlyle founders leave parting thoughts on PE
As liquidity grows and the search for returns intensifies, demand for private investment will increase, David Rubenstein said on the firm's earnings call on Tuesday.
On the firm's third-quarter earnings call Tuesday, Carlyle co-founders David Rubenstein, Bill Conway and Dan D'Aniello bid farewell to analysts and journalists as they prepare to hand over to a new generation.
"We thank you for working as hard as you have to learn our company. We know that Carlyle is complex and may not always be as easy to comprehend as might be desired. We appreciate your efforts to understand the firm," Rubenstein said, adding that while the founders "are disappearing from these calls, we're not disappearing from the firm".
Last week Carlyle announced Rubenstein and Conway will step aside from their roles of co-chief executives and be replaced by president and chief operating officer Glenn Youngkin and corporate private equity deputy chief investment officer Kewsong Lee, effective 1 January. Rubenstein and Conway will become co-executive chairmen of the board and remain on the firm's executive group.
Chairman D'Aniello will become chairman emeritus and will also remain on Carlyle's executive group. Deputy chief investment officer Peter Clare will become co-chief investment officer alongside Conway.
Rubenstein said as it was the last of such calls that he and Conway would lead, he would provide "a few parting thoughts" about the private investment industry, the firm, their successors and their ongoing roles.
As liquidity grows and the search for returns intensifies, demand for private investment will increase, Rubenstein predicted; firms, small and large, will attract both significant capital and the talent to manage it.
"Among the principal beneficiaries of this phenomenon will likely be the large, global, multi-product and publicly traded firms, for they are best positioned to attract capital and talent and as a result to consistently achieve the returns desired by investors," Rubenstein said, adding that Carlyle was a case in point.
"We feel that at no point in Carlyle's 30-year history has the firm been financially stronger, more highly-regarded, or better-equipped to be a leading private investment firm in the future. For these reasons, we think this is the right time to have a leadership change."
Rubenstein said while there's "a natural human tendency" to want to stay when things are going well, that is also the best time to bring in new leadership. He stressed that he and his fellow co-founders "are not going away, nor are we slowing down."
"We're still as committed as ever to this firm. We're still deeply involved in the investment process."
The leadership change will allow Conway – who now shares the CIO role with Peter Clare – to spend more time on investing, while Rubenstein himself will "remain involved as a public presence for the firm and in the fundraising process".
Rubenstein, Conway and D'Aniello are the firm's largest unitholders and largest individual fund investors, and will remain "sizeable" unitholders and fund investors.
"[We] are now finalising major new commitments to our flagship buyout funds," Rubenstein said.
