Q: scroll to selected item in html listbox I have an html listbox :
<select id="test" size="5">
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
<option value="4">4</option>
<option value="5">5</option>
<option value="6">6</option>
<option value="7">7</option>
<option value="8">8</option>
<option value="9">9</option>
</select>

I am trying to select an item via code and have the listbox automatically scroll to the selected item.
Is this supposed to scroll the listbox automatically to the selected item ?
$('#test option[value="8"]').attr('selected', 'selected');

I can't seem to get it to do that ... am I missing something ?

A: Setting the selected item will only cause the item to be visible within the select field, but doesn't guarantee that it will be at the top of the list of items shown. I tried this in a jsfiddle and you'll see your code highlights the #8, but it's at the bottom of the select field box. http://jsfiddle.net/Ck4m3/

On a perfect Friday night for football, Eastlake Wolves got back on the winning track, defeating the host Redmond Mustangs 32-18. While the win was nice, it came in a week that featured two examples of the Eastlake "Wolf Strong Pack Strong" spirit in full effect away from the football field. On Tuesday night, the Eastlake community packed MOD Pizza with hundreds of people waiting more than 2 hours to dine at MOD as 100% of the night's proceeds went to support the Nelson family in their battle with cancer. The Nelsons are pillars of the Eastlake family with 2 boys who are alums of the program and youngest son Christopher starring at running back for this year's JV team. Then, on Friday night, senior captain Johnny Monahan sacrificed his captain's spot so injured senior teammate Will Esser could represent the Wolves in the pre-game captain's meeting. Both of these events capture the spirit of Eastlake football and it was nice to see the Wolves cap the week with a solid win to improve their record to 5-2 in KingCo conference (5-3 overall).
On the field, the Wolves won behind another strong game from junior running back Daniel Bradley who ran for 2 touchdowns and caught a pass for another. Senior quarterback Mark Whitley rambled for a 77 yard gain in the 3rd quarter and threw touchdown passes to Bradley and junior receiver Ben Howard. Defensively, the Wolves had a balanced team effort highlighted by strong run stuffing from junior defensive tackles Noah Morse and Eric Plummer, numerous passes defended by junior cornerback Parker Lester and interceptions from junior linebacker Jacob Mohrhardt and senior cornerback Chandler Tolliver. The Wolves also benefited from strong special teams play including 2 tackles on kickoff by junior Max Gardiner and 3 PATs and a field goal from sophomore kicker Jack Matheson.
The Wolves kicked off to open the game and set the tone early when Mohrhardt tackled the Redmond receiver for a loss on 3rd and 9, forcing a Redmond punt. Eastlake powered down the field behind Bradley and Whitley, capped by Matheson's 20 yard field goal to give Eastlake an early 3-0 lead. Later in the quarter, senior nose guard Jacob Kaufman and Plummer pressured the Redmond quarterback on 4th and 2, forcing a turnover on downs. The Wolves capitalized when Whitley hit Bradley with a 26 yard touchdown pass on 3rd and 19. With Matheson's PAT, the Wolves boosted their lead to 10-0.
On Redmond's next possession, the Mustangs picked up some offensive momentum before Mohrhardt stepped in front of a pass on 3rd and 6 and returned the interception to mid-field. A 10-yard pass (Whitley to Tolliver) and a steady dose of Bradley running behind Plummer and senior tackle Connor McCabe moved the ball to the 3 yard line before Whitley hit Howard with a 3-yard touchdown pass. Matheson converted and Eastlake led 17-0 and seemed poised for an easy victory.
On this night however Redmond wouldn't go away easily. Senior Cole Lewis made a nice tackle on the kickoff at the 27 yard line but Redmond went to work and hit a 43 yard completion, followed by a pass interference call on Eastlake to move into the red zone. The Wolves defense stiffened but Redmond converted a 30 yard field goal to cut the lead to 17-3 at halftime.
In the second half Eastlake continued moving the ball, primarily on the ground but couldn't cash in points. On a 4th and 9 play, Redmond hit a 38 yard touchdown pass to cut the lead to 17-10. The Wolves came right back, finally breaking through again when Whitley broke loose for a 77-yard run. Although Whitley was pushed out-of-bounds at the 2-yard line, Bradley punched in the touchdown for Eastlake extending the lead to 24-10.
Despite trailing in the 4th quarter, the always-great Redmond band and crowd continued cheering on their team and the Mustangs responded. Redmond put together a long touchdown drive, converted a 2 point conversion and the Eastlake lead was cut to 24-18 with 5 minutes remaining in the game.
With the game in the balance, the Wolves put together a win-sealing drive. On 3rd and 8, Whitley scrambled for 9 yards and an Eastlake first down. After grinding out 11 more yards, Bradley sealed the game with a 55-yard touchdown run following the block of sophomore tackle Spencer Thompson. Whitley hit Lester for the 2-point conversion and a 32-18 Eastlake lead.
As the Mustangs desperately scrambled to get back in the game, Tolliver made a sliding interception. Later, on the last play of the game junior defensive tackle Ryan Guptil sacked the Redmond quarterback as time ran out. The chilly but spirited Eastlake crowd cheered on their heroes and the Wolves went home with a solid road victory.
Statistically, Daniel Bradley nominated the offense with 191 yards rushing, 59 yards receiving and 3 touchdowns while Whitley chipped in 135 yards rushing, 85 passing yards and no turnovers. On the defensive side of the ball, Johnny Monahan led the Wolves with 9 tackles followed by Connor McCabe and Jacob Mohrhardt with 8 each. Safety Cody Cox added 6 tackles with strong efforts also from Carter Browning (5 tackles), Bayan Farahani (5 tackles), and Noah Morse, Parker Lester and Eric Plummer (3 tackles each).
Next Friday, Eastlake hosts Skyline on senior night in the last regular season game of the year.

Paris Climate Agreement and the US Withdrawal: The Way Forward
by Prashant Kumar Sharma
Climate change has become a global challenge that does not respect any national or international boundary. Every nook and corner of the globe is facing the irreversible impacts of climate change. The impacts of climate change are palpable in terms of changes in extreme weather events, increases in temperature and sea-level rise. All anthropogenic activities, including greenhouse gas emissions from human activities, are driving climate change and these continue to rise. It is a noted fact that emissions anywhere affect people everywhere. This issue requires solutions that need to be co-ordinated at the international level. It further requires international co-operation to help the developing countries move ahead to achieve a low-carbon economy.
International efforts have been continued under the auspices of the United Nations to forge a collective action to combat the daunting challenges of this global problem. Since 1992, all the world's governments had been pledging to take preventive measures that could avoid dangerous warming of the earth. However, those attempts were marked by 'discord and fiasco, the refusal of the biggest emitters to take part, ineffective agreements and ignored treaties'.1 Due to these dominant reasons, the Paris talks were largely seen as a 'make or break' for the process of the United Nations. The collective global action to forge an agreement would have been at an edge, if the Paris talks had failed, and the world would have been left without any 'just and robust means' of dealing with climate change.
Paris Climate Agreement 2015
The Paris Agreement, which has been signed by almost 200 countries, was adopted in COP21 on December 12, 2015. This agreement came into force on November 4, 2016. The adoption of the climate deal was hailed as 'historic, durable and ambitious', with the world leaders calling it a 'major leap for mankind'. French Foreign Minister and President-designate of the COP21 Laurent Fabius, the United Nations climate chief Christiana Figueres and Special Ambassador on Climate Change Laurence Tubiana played a vital and pivotal role in facilitating the successful outcome of the Paris talks. This event witnessed the biggest ever gathering of the world leaders, whose presence was, in fact, significant to boost the morale of their negotiators to move out of the positions deeply rooted for more than 20 years. Eventually, the Paris deal proved that compromise could still be worked out to uphold the sustainability of the planet if firm determination exists and prevails on the part of the nations.2
The Paris Agreement3 constitutes 29 Articles, which stipulate in details the measures to be taken to deal with climate change. Article 2 of the said agreement aims as follows:
1) To strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change: a) by holding the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels; b) by increasing the ability to adapt to the adverse impacts of climate change and foster climate resilience and low greenhouse gas emissions development; c) and to making finance flows consistent with a pathway towards low greenhouse gas emissions and climate resilient development.
2) In addition, the implementation of this agreement would reflect equity and the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities, in the light of different national circumstances.
The US Withdrawal from the Paris Agreement
The US is the world's second largest emitter of greenhouse gases and largest per capita emitter among industrialised countries.4 The US officially entered the Paris Climate Agreement along with China on September 3, 2016. The US under the presidency of Obama committed to reduce its carbon emissions, by 26 to 28 per cent from the 2005 levels, by 2025.5 The move taken by these countries, most responsible for climate change, was immediately termed as a significant advancement in the battle against climate change.6 US President Obama, on the eve of the G20 summit in Hangzhou, 2016, expressed his belief that the Paris Agreement would definitely prove to be a turning-point for the planet and the efforts they have made would be judged by history as pivotal.7 In addition, he stated that the US and China are leading by example when it comes to fighting climate change.8
Nevertheless, the euphoria of leading the world by example could not last longer. While the Paris Climate Agreement was meant to bind the world community in the global fight against rising temperatures, the withdrawal of the world's second largest polluter is a major blow.9 President Trump announced that the US would withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord. Now, the question is: why did President Trump decide to pull the US out of the accord? What were the factors behind influencing Trump's decision to quit from the accord?
What President Trump did with regard to the Paris Climate Agreement had support from some of the Senate Republicans who were calling for an exit. Those Republicans were Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnel of Kentucky and Senators Rand Paul of Kentucky, Mike Lee of Utah and Ted Cruz of Texas, among others.10 In addition, the decision taken by the President Trump was considered a victory for Stephen K. Bannon, the chief strategist of Trump, and Scott Pruitt, the Environmental Protection Agency administrator. It is noted that these officers spent months quietly to make their case before President Trump about the inherent dangers that the Paris Climate Agreement carries. These officers endeavoured to overcome all the intense oppositions from the other top aides, encompassing Gary D. Cohn, the Director of the National Economic Council, and the Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson.11
What President Trump is doing is not a new phenomenon. It also has its precedents in the past. For instance, in 1992 at the Earth Summit, US President George H.W. Bush had opined that 'the Americans' way of life is non-negotiable'.12 Moreover, the same statement stands true today. President Trump believed that the Paris Accord is very unfair to the US at the highest level.13 Trump called the Paris Agreement a 'draconian international deal',14 and opined that the landmark 2015 accord imposed wildly unfair environmental standards on American businesses and workers.15 For Trump, the Paris Accord was an attack on the American sovereignty and 'a threat to the ability of his Administration to reshape the nation's environmental laws in ways that benefit everyday Americans'.16 Moreover, Trump thinks that the Paris Accord is a way of 'massive redistribution of the United States wealth to other countries'.17 Hence, the deal would fundamentally induce disadvantages to the US economically, relative to other countries. Eventually Trump declared: 'The United States will cease all implementation of the non-binding Paris accord'.18
The Paris climate deal, which is widely understood as a victory for climate diplomacy, was considered to be the end of a long negotiation to find a working formula for halting arguably the biggest threat to the 21st Century human society emanating from climate change.19 The countries' national commitments under the Paris Agreement, as research shows, do not meet the trajectory needed to limit global warming to 2 or 1.5°C.20 The current commitments, as far as the caps on emissions are concerned, are likely to lead to warming of 2.7 to 3°C above pre-industrial levels, breaching the 2°C threshold. Scientists believed that 2°C is the limit of safety beyond which the effects would be highly catastrophic and irreversible.21
Recently, the World Meteorological Organi-sation said that 'concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere surged at a record-breaking speed in 2016'. It further clarified: 'Globally averaged concentrations of CO2 reached 403.3 parts per million in 2016, up from 400.00 ppm in 2015 because of a combination of human activities and a strong E1Nino event.' The Greenhouse Gas Bulletin, annual flagship report of the UN weather agency, traces 'the continent of dangerous gases in atmosphere in the post-industrial era (since 1750)'. It is also noted that the earth experienced similar concentrations of CO2 rates in the atmosphere the last time three to five million years ago, at a time when the sea level was up to 20 meetrs (66 feet) higher than now.22
Nevertheless, it has been observed that the lacuna between the climate promise and the emission reduction pledges is 'alarmingly high'. Most Carbon dioxide, the main gas behind the warming, once emitted stays in the atmosphere for centuries. Therefore, to stop the warming, the world has to bring emissions down to zero as soon as possible. It is due to the fact that how much we emit now and then is going to decide where global temperatures end up. Power stations and other industrial activities continue to add up around 36 billion tons of Carbon dioxide to the atmosphere each year. Most notably, every ton of emissions will count for further warming.23
Against this backdrop, the departure of the US from the Paris Agreement is a setback to the efforts at building a climate resilient world. However, it is opined, 'the world should not be held to ransom because the domestic political process of five per cent of the world's population cannot treat the problem seriously'.24 All major countries have reflected their firm determination to turn the tenets of the Paris Agreement into practice. Countries like India and China have also reaffirmed their commitment to meeting their targets. Chinese President Xi Jinping has called for an 'ecological civilisation reforms'25 to account for the environmental ramifications of China's development. Moreover, India believes that 'for the past 5,000 years, it has been the tradition in India to protect the environment'.26
At the COP22 in Morocco, negotiators had decided to fix the year 2018 as the deadline to finalise the guidelines for various processes and requirements needed to implement the Paris Agreement.27 It was also noted that in 2018, parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change will come together to take stock of the progress made and ascertain where they can move ahead faster to keep the goals of the Paris Agreement within reach. To make the move in this regard, the COP23 convened in Bonn, Germany, in continuation with the agenda of the previous COP22. The COP23 convened under the Presidency of Fiji that took place from November 6 to 17, 2017 at the World Conference Centre in Bonn. This event made history as 'the first-ever small island state to hold the Presidency and organise the negotiations'.28
The World Resources Institute (WRI) opines that the parties to the agreement must continue to accelerate their effort to deter the worst impacts of climate change. Moreover, the WRI released a paper titled, Enhancing NDCs by 2020: Achieving the Goals of the Paris Agreement,which highlights a menu of options for the parties to enhance their climate commitment by 2020 also known as NDCs. Enhancing NDCs would be a chance for the parties to strengthen their mitigation contributions. This will help the parties not only by accelerating their emission reduction targets, but also by incorporating key sectoral, technological and policy developments that have transpired since 2015.
The UNEP's Emissions Gap Report, which has been recently released, finds that 'faster switching to solar and wind energy, and more energy efficient appliances and cars, coupled with a switch from deforestation to reforestation, could together cut emissions by 22 billion tons of CO2 a year'—enough to close the 'emissions gap' and put the 'world back on track to halt warming at 1.5 degrees'. This report further mentions, 'between 80 and 90 per cent of coal reserves worldwide will need to remain in the ground' if the set goals are to be met, compared to 50 per cent of natural gas reserves and 35 per cent of oil. In addition, the report says that strict control on methane emissions and other short-lived GHGs could avoid 0.6 degrees of warming by the mid-century.29
In a nutshell, even if plugging methane emissions and growing switch to reforestation can buy time, stabilisation of the changing climate would require bringing emissions of Carbon dioxide down to zero as swiftly as possible. This is not possible without a strong political will and commitments on the part of the countries. Erik Solheim, the head of UN Environment, also exhorted to the Parties to display a new sense of urgency to achieve the ends of fighting the negative impacts of climate change.

You can perhaps store a few crop-growing tools, your handy man toolbox and even park your lawnmower inside.
Even then there would still be a bit of space for small things if you organise the space well. With some shelving and planning you would be amazed the things you can store despite its compact shape.

I took a walk through my garden this week as I was pondering this week's story when I came across my tree peony. The first time I saw one of these in flower I was amazed with the size of the blooms and the depth of colour they provide. There are a few tricks in growing Tree Peonies which I would like to share with you, but once they are established they are really easy to look after.
Potted tree peonies can be planted at any time although Autumn is preferable. Unfortunately they can be hard to locate potted in Autumn and tend to appear in nurseries in Spring when they are flowering. Depending on the size of the plant you purchase, flowering can appear from the first year for an established plant to four years for a smaller plant. If planting now just a good water once every week should be sufficient and if they require more the leaves will become droopy.
Tree peonies are extremely hardy and thrive best in a sheltered position away from hot winds in part sun, part shade, or even full shade. They can tolerate dry conditions once established and they require a well drained alkaline soil which is perfect for a Portland Garden. When planting your tree peony it is important to add a few handfuls of Dolomite Lime to the base of the hole. Tree Peonies grow from early autumn to winter and are stimulated by the cold. The roots require feeding at this time and they grow leafy green foliage which appears in early Spring and they flower in October to November. Over Summer they close down and require little water. They grow to around one metre high and wide and will be a valued addition to any garden.
A PH Test Kit is a useful tool for any gardener to test your soil and Tree Peonies prefer a PH level of around 7 but they will tolerate lower with the addition of Dolomite Lime in Autumn.

Church Militant
Jeffrey Burwell
A collection of narratives of the lives of eleven Jesuit priests who served as chaplains in the British army during the First World War offers an analysis of the complex situations Irish chaplains faced and the sometimes unexpected pastoral needs encountered on the battlefield.
Strangely (un)Christian
Emily Holman
The central characters in Michael Faber's new novel seem to be made of Christian ingredients, yet to speak and think in ways incompatible with who they profess to be. And though the novel improves, this tonal blip tends to make for an erratic reading experience.
Necessary Things
Richard Hayes
There are no pyrotechnics in Gerald Dawe's new collection; the poems go about their business quietly, presenting the reader, it seems, with cases to be considered, never forcing ‑ neither in formal terms nor in argument ‑ the reader towards certain ends.
Keith Payne
A new Dublin history book is more than just a roll-call of past businesses in the city. It is what much poetry attempts to be, a version of the city that stops you and makes you turn again on your wander through the city centre, tilt your head upwards and take notice.
The Canon in Irish Language Fiction
Brian Ó Conchubhair and Philip O'Leary
A conference held in Dublin earlier this year set itself the difficult task of identifying the fifteen leading Irish language novels published in the twentieth century. Much debate was occasioned, and will no doubt continue, but a list of (in fact sixteen) works was arrived at.
Words The Wind Blew In
John Feehan
Robert Macfarlane writes of the power certain words possess to enchant our relations with nature and place, a power that comes from contact with the experienced reality of the natural world. If that power is waning, perhaps it is because such contact seldom now occurs.
Wild Geese and Clerical Bohemians
Andy Pollak
Prague's Franciscan College, set up in the 1630s to send missionary priests back to Ireland, flourished through its contacts with an influential expatriate community of soldiers and doctors. Soon, however, it was to develop a reputation for quarrelling and irregularity.
Sound, from Top to Toe
The work of the Fermanagh poet and editor Frank Ormsby is notable for its quietness, its lucidity, its scrupulous particularity and specificity, its modesty (there is no showing off – ever), its respect for the reader, and – hold onto your hats – its accessibility.
Between Two Rooms
Matthew Parkinson Bennett
For many Irish emigrants, and particularly female ones and better educated ones, moving abroad has been less a question of exile than one of escape. For writers, however, there is frequently no escape from considering what it means to be Irish, or to be Irish abroad.
James Wickham
A new book by Robert Putnam, whose 'Bowling Alone' popularised the concept of social capital, examines growing income inequality in the United States and argues that the affluent and the poor now increasingly live in worlds completely isolated from one another.


Click the button below to add the GI-106B GPS / VOR / LOC / Glideslope Indicator to your wish list.
The most noticeable difference between the GI-106A and the GI-106B is the needles. On most Indicators, including the GI-106A, the needles are always visible. If a needle is not being driven by a valid signal, a flag is displayed to warn the pilot not to follow it. The GI-106B does not use warning flags. Instead, a needle which is not being driven by a valid signal is simply stowed out of sight. There is no possibility of a pilot following invalid guidance if the needle cannot be seen.
Additionally, all the lighting in the GI-106B has been updated to LED. This will greatly lengthen the service life, and reduce susceptibility to vibration.
The GI-106B is a direct replacement for both the GI-102A and GI-106A. In the "A" generation, Garmin offered both a Glideslope (GI-106A) and non-Glideslope (GI-102A) version. They do not offer a non-Glideslope version in the "B" generation. The GI-106B can certainly function as a non-Glideslope Indicator (with the Glideslope needle hidden), but it is admittedly more expensive than a non-Glideslope version would have been if offered.

Netherlands: Tax proposals in coalition government's agreement
New coalition government's plans and ambitions and includes various proposed tax measures
Tax proposals in coalition government's agreement
An agreement presented 15 December 2021 sets out the new coalition government's plans and ambitions and includes various proposed tax measures.
The coalition agreement only provides a general outline of the intended measures. The new government (the term of its office in principle ends in March 2025) will present bills to implement the agreement, and the specifics of the various tax measures only become apparent from those bills. The coalition agreement does not replace the bills in the 2022 Tax Plan package, on which the Upper House of Parliament will vote next week.
Tightening of CFC measure
The new government will implement a controlled foreign company (CFC) measure as of 2023. If the new government adopts the CFC measure in its entirety and in its most far-reaching form, this would mean that as of 2023:
The CFC measure would also apply to distributed profits.
The CFC's profit for accounting purposes would be decisive when calculating the benefit to be taken into account.
The effective profit tax rate would be used in future.
The exception for economic activities of substance would be amended or completely disappear.
The revenue from this is estimated at €200 million per annum.
Implementation of OECD Pillar Two
The new government intends to implement OECD Pillar Two (the OECD/G20 initiative to introduce a global minimum profit tax rate). It is still uncertain how much revenue this would generate for the Netherlands. If it does not result in the projected revenue (€800 million), then other ways of expanding the tax base could be examined, taking into consideration the low corporate income tax rate and/or the specific range of the different corporate income tax brackets. The business climate and the position of small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) would also be taken into account.
Individual income tax and payroll tax
€3 billion in tax cuts: Lowering tax rates would provide €3 billion in tax cuts, in particular for low and middle incomes, the employed, and families.
Phasing out of self-employed persons deduction: As of 2023, the self-employed persons deduction (zelfstandigenaftrek) would be further reduced in phases of €650 (including the baseline, in the last two years, in phases of €605) to €1,200 in 2030. During the new government's term of office, the self‑employed would be compensated via an increase in the labor tax credit.
Average salary plan to be repealed: As of 2023 the average salary plan for personal income tax purposes would be repealed.
Untaxed travel allowance to be increased: As of 1 January 2024, the untaxed travel allowance would be increased. The exact rate increase still has to be worked out.
Bill on excessive borrowing: The bill on excessive borrowing would be amended, with the threshold being increased to €700,000 (from €500,000).
Introduction of actual return on investment in Box 3 and taxing of tenanted property: As of 2025, a new Box 3 regime based on the actual return on investment would be introduced. In anticipation of this, the value with vacant possession ratio would be repealed as of 2023, which means that the tax on the return from tenanted property in Box 3 would be more in line with the actual situation. The revenue from this, together with an additional budget of €200 million, would be used to increase the exemption in Box 3 to approximately €80,000. Under the new Box 3 regime (thus as of 2025), savings and investment would be directly taxed at the actual return realized. The change in value of property would initially still be taxed at a fixed rate, with the transition to an actual return following as soon as possible.
Inheritance tax law (and individual income tax)
Business succession tax relief: Business succession tax relief for inheritance tax and gift tax purposes and for personal income tax purposes is important for the continuity of businesses, in particular family businesses. During the new government's term of office, the business succession tax relief would be examined to see how it can be improved and how improper use of the scheme can be addressed, so that it is used as intended—this would take place together with the evaluation of the business succession scheme (bedrijfsopvolgingsregeling; BOR) which is set be completed in 2022.
Gift exemption for taxpayer's home: As of 2024, the gift exemption for the taxpayer's own home—also referred to as the tax-free lump sum (jubelton)—would be repealed.
Climate and environmental taxes
Numerous changes are in the pipeline for climate and environmental taxes. Some of these measures are listed below.
The current CO2 tax on industrial emissions would be tightened "in the margins." This would be accomplished via changes to the number of dispensation rights and the rate.
As of 1 January 2023, a minimum CO2 price for industry would be introduced.
The energy tax rate structure would be made less degressive by increasing the rates in the higher consumption brackets for gas and electricity.
The ODE rates (surcharges for sustainable energy) in the second and third electricity brackets would be reduced as of 2023 (compared to the rates in the ODE baseline).
The energy tax rate for gas in the first bracket would be increased by 5.23 cents/m3 during the period 2023-2028.
The energy tax rate for electricity in the first bracket would be increased by 5.23 cents/kWh during the period 2023-2028.
The reduced energy tax rate for greenhouse horticulture companies would be repealed as of 1 January 2025.
In 2030 an MRB Plus (kilometer charge) would be introduced with a flat kilometer rate for all passenger cars and delivery vans.
The air passenger tax would be increased as of 2023.
As of 1 January 2025, the budget for the environmental investment allowance (milieu-investeringsaftrek) would be permanently increased by €30 million.
Real estate transfer tax: The real estate transfer tax on non-residential property and on the purchase of homes by legal entities and individuals who will not be living in the home in the long-term, would be increased to 9% (from 8%). This measure is to be introduced as of 2023.
Landlord levy: The landlord levy would be abolished as of 2023.
Consumption tax on alcohol-free drinks: As of 2023, the consumption tax on alcohol-free drinks would be increased (mineral water may be exempted as of 2024).
Excise tax on cigarettes and tobacco: The excise tax on cigarettes and tobacco would increase to approximately €10 per packet, in two steps, as proposed in the National Prevention Agreement (Nationaal Preventieakkoord).
Leading role in the European Union: The Netherlands will commit to a digital services tax—although there are signs that the EU is abandoning a digital services tax—an air passenger tax, a CO2 border tax, and a minimum profit tax rate to prevent unfair competition between EU Member States. The Netherlands will also work together to tackle tax evasion.

News from Tomball | Magnolia
Updated: Data shows March sales tax allocations for cities of Magnolia and Tomball
In March, Magnolia saw a 51.77% decrease in sales tax revenue, compared to the previous year, according to Comptroller data. However, the decrease in collections was due to paying back an over payment by the Comptroller's office Magnolia City Administrator Don Doering said May 7. This means the city's collections for the current period actually increased 17% year over year.
By Dylan Sherman | 7:10 PM May 6, 2020 CDT | Updated 5:36 PM May 7, 2020 CDT
Editor's note: This story was updated to include comments from Magnolia City Administrator Don Doering regarding the sales tax allocations Magnolia received. Sales tax revenue actually increased in March although the city received less revenue year over year due to compensating for an additional payment previously allocated by the Comptroller's office.
Sales tax allocations for March in Tomball and Magnolia have been released by the Texas Comptroller, and it paints an early picture of how coronavirus closures have affected sales tax in both cities.
Data on the city of Tomball showed a decrease in revenue of 9.25% compared to March 2019.
Tomball's March sales tax revenue dropped by $139,000 compared to last year, from $1.50 million to $1.36 million.
Tomball City Manager Robert Hauck said the decrease in revenue was within projected amount for the month.
"It is not a surprise, it was right around where our internal estimates were," he said. "We were estimating it would be around 10%."
Hauck said the same projections were made by the comptroller's office, but he would not be surprised if April's decrease was higher as it was the first full month to be affected by the coronavirus shutdown.
"I do believe though, with the reopening of Tomball and Texas...and as [more businesses] begin opening on Friday that will be a help in the community," he said.
Hauck added Tomball is down 1.31% in sales tax allocation for the fiscal year to date, with half the fiscal year completed.
Magnolia saw a 51.77% decrease in sales tax revenue, compared to the previous year, according to Comptroller data. However, the decrease in collections was due to an over payment by the Comptroller's office Magnolia City Administrator Don Doering said May 7.
Doering said the Comptroller's office took funds out of May's payment due to an over payment previously.
"We had an over payment from the last fiscal year, which they made to us; we are just paying that back," he said.
Sales tax data from the state shows Magnolia paid back about $167,000 of its March sales tax allocation. As such, Magnolia actually saw an increase of $43,000 compared to last March—according to current period collections—which is a 17.3% increase in sales allocations, according to Comptroller data.
Doering said next month will probably show a decrease as all businesses have been closed, but he does not know what it will look like yet.
• Tomball Power Switch enrollment open through May 19, offering cost savings to residents
• Bexar Barbecue to begin offering Saturday carryout at new Tomball location
• Q&A: Meet Don Doering, Magnolia's new city administrator
• Whitmeyer's Distilling Co. looks to expand permanently into Tomball
• Society of Samaritans serves 3,000 families; drive-thru food donation, sidewalk sale scheduled
"I anticipate a reduction [for] April, but we won't know until we get there," he said.
The two special districts around Magnolia also saw increases year over year for March.
Montgomery County Emergency Services District No. 10—which contracts with the Magnolia Volunteer Fire Department—saw a 16.82% increase year over year, an increase of just under $81,000 from March 2019 to March 2020.
Westwood Magnolia Parkway Improvement District—which spans the FM 1488 and FM 2978—saw an 18.83% increase year over year in March with sales tax revenue increasing $66,000 from March 2019 to March 2020.

Caputo Takes Leave of Absence from HHS
Wed., Sep. 16, 2020
Michael Caputo
Michael Caputo is taking a leave of absence from his top spokesperson job at the Dept. of Health and Human Services.
That move follows his Sept. 13 Facebook Live rant in which he lambasted career government scientists, alleged there is a "resistance unit" to Donald Trump housed within the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and predicted political violence in the event the president wins re-election and Joe Biden fails to concede.
"Today, the Department of Health and Human Services is announcing that HHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Michael Caputo has decided to take a leave of absence to focus on his health and the well-being of his family. Mr. Caputo will be on leave for the next 60 days," HHS said in a statement.
Caputo said he's undergoing "necessary screenings for a lymphatic issue discovered last week," according to his statement. Health concerns contributed to his "stress level, along with the increasing number of violent threats leveled at me and my family."
He apologized on Sept. 16 to HHS Secretary Alex Azar and staffers for his Facebook tirade.
Trump installed Caputo, a political operative and author of "The Ukraine Hoax: How Decades of Corruption in the Former Soviet Republic Led to Trump's Phony Impeachment," in the assistant secretary of health for public affairs, to control the messaging of HHS.
Ryan Murphy, whom Caputo replaced as chief spokesperson, is returning to that position.

Home WinBuzzer News Leak: Google's Military Drone AI Program Will Be worth $250 Million a...
Leak: Google's Military Drone AI Program Will Be worth $250 Million a Year
Google may have been less than forthcoming to its employees about its Project Maven drone AI program, which is expected to grow to $250 million per year. Several employees have left the company since the discovery of the program.
June 1, 2018 5:48 pm CEST

In March, a contact obtained by Gizmodo revealed that Google is using AI technology to assist military drones. Known as Project Maven, it uses image recognition to assist analysts and enable better identification of objects.
A number of Google employees resigned, and chief executive Diane Greene assured those remaining that it was worth a measly $9 million. Reports now suggest that figure was not entirely forthcoming.
According to emails obtained by The Intercept, Google's business development arm expected the revenue to grow from the initial $15 million to $250 million a year.
"Total deal $25-$30M, $15M to Google over the next 18 months," said Google's Cloud head scientist Dr. Fei-Fei Li. The chain also features Aileen Black and Scott Frohman, members of Google's defense sales team. It took place in September on 2017.
The figures line up with a Bloomberg report of a $100 million government funding pledge a month after the initial contract. The email chain also reveals that several other big tech firms vied for the contract, including Amazon's AWS, which has "some workloads". It's not clear if Microsoft was involved at this time, but it is a major cloud and AI player.
Not For Offensive Purposes
Project Maven appears to be linked to the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure (JEDI), which is worth a further $1 billion a year. Previous reports say Google was interested in the program.
However, Google holds that its technology is not for offensive purposes. In fact, Hynes says this is a crucial part of the contract. The new email chain makes it clear that this misconception was a major concern for the company.
"This is red meat to the media to find all ways to damage Google. You probably heard Elon Musk and his comment about AI causing WW3," said Fei-Fei. "I don't know what would happen if the media starts picking up a theme that Google is secretly building AI weapons or AI technologies to enable weapons for the Defense industry."
The team also spoke about the need to set the "narrative" as quickly as possible. Black noted that the news would get out eventually and that it would be best for Google to release it on its own terms. The company is now seeing the value of that advice after the eventual leak in March.

You have always been good to me found things I didn't know I had. My son, Stacey heard him talk, found out that he had something with his tonsils and adenoids. They have been removed. I trust what you say. It's nice to have something like this as my teeth get older.
I found my dentist! My perfect minimalist dentist. This is exactly what I was looking for. They did not require an initial 2 hr meet your dentist appointment. They recommended but let me opt out of bite wing xrays. My hygienist did a superb job cleaning my teeth and the dentist did not recommend a bunch of unnecessary costly procedures. Just to add to the awesomeness – I scheduled and was seen on the same day. Worth the drive out of Madison.
This office is great! From the minute I walk through the door I'm met with friendly faces and good conversation. Most importantly, Dr. Tauschek is fantastic. After seeing him for years I moved out of state. After seeing other dentists I thought I had become almost impossible to numb. Three different dentists couldn't fully numb me which resulted in some painful procedures and anxiety at the thought of going in even for a cleaning. Thankfully my family recently moved back to Madison and just in time. I had a loose filling and immediately knew who to call. I was seen by Dr. Tauschek within a couple of days for an evaluation. I discussed with him my numbing issues and he spent a couple of days doing research to be sure it would be a painless process for me. I came in a few days later and he was able to numb me effortlessly and had me in and out within the hour. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for an honest, friendly and all around great dental practice. I'm happy to be back! Thanks again.
They are friendly and always able to accommodate. I really appreciate the honesty of this office.
I am always please to come to the Maple Grove office because the staff are always pleasant and very professional. Taya is my hygienist and I so enjoy her work and we also have such good conversations about family. Laurie is very pleasant and is a wonderful person who greets all the patients as we come in. Dr. Tauschek is very knowledgeable and has always explained any issues I have had with care and concern so I can understand it. Great dentist!!

The Orioles' big hope at the plate is Adley Rutschman. On the mound, it's Grayson Rodriguez.
And if the 2021 season is any indication, the hope of the Orioles and their fans is well-placed.
Baltimore had few development stories this year better than that of the 21-year-old right-handed hurler. Rodriguez spent the majority of the season in Double-A Bowie after starting at Single-A Aberdeen, and his work was terrific at both stops. After going 3-0 with a 1.54 ERA with the IronBirds, he went 6-1 in 18 starts with the Baysox, compiling a 2.94 ERA and striking out 121 batters in 79.

A balanced and species-appropriate diet is essential to ensure that a puppy grows up as he should.
With our 50 years of recipe expertise, we have formulated recipes which focus on the specific needs of puppies and young dogs as they develop through the different life stages.
Meaning that your puppy will receive everything that his body needs - for a strong immune system through to a healthy coat.
The first 6 months are the "main growth phase". During this time, baby dogs grow very quickly. Their need for energy and high quality nutrients in appropriate amounts is correspondingly high during this period.
It can then take quite a long time to reach the final weight - as much as 12 to 18 months. The energy content of the food is reduced to avoid growth disorders. This recipe is the perfect transition to an adult food.
Junior: reduced energy content from 7 to 17 months to avoid growth disorders.

Archaeologist have been employing low altitude aerial photography (LAAP) since the end of XIX c. Historically, kites and balloons have primarily served as these flying platforms while recent advances in technology have lead to an influx of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as an accessible and increasingly common platform. Additionally, increasingly robust and affordable Photogrammetric software is facilitating new products and analases to be generated from these aerial photos. The media are talking about drones bringing revolution to archeology, but is it justified? Are these new tools truly revolutionizing how archaeology is done? Do newer platforms and software translate into higher quality and more useful results?
This session focuses on discussion of the various issues and benefits of modern LAAP in archeology. In which efficient way data can be gathered today and how can they be used? In addition to reviewing successful LAAP case studies, this session will include papers comparing different approaches to data collection and processing. Particular attention will paid to cases in which this data can be employed for new products and analytical methods including mapping, data fusion with other remotely sensed products, 3D and digital terrain models, popularization he session will conclude with papers and discussion of the future of LAAP in archaeology such as the development of multiple sensor types with UAVs including thermal, infrared and LiDAR. What additional hardware and software evolution do we see on the horizon and could these further developments actually change the future if archaeological research?

The Great Men's Cross 7: Lionel Messi 1
It has been interesting so far on the series The Great Men's Cross, right from the story of Ben Carson, Jack Ma, to Albert Einstein and then Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Les Brown. So far, their stories have been challenging and have inspired so many from the testimonies shared with us. You can also drop your comments and as well share it so others can benefit. We decided also to give a shot at sports and build up a challenging story on Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo who had very rough beginning.
Read also: The 3 Power Packs of Life
In few days, we will study the life of the two and learn from them. For every great position in life, there is a greater challenge for that purpose. This article will focus on Lionel Messi, who grew up in a slum and had health problem when he was young. It might have appeared that there was no opportunity for such people in football due to height deficiency and deteriorating health, but his dreams and aspirations were more important than his problems. He later became a five-time winner of the Ballon d'Or and has continued to dominate the world of football with the hope that this will not end soon.
Also, many wondered while Messi refused to leave Barca and always claim to be comfortable and feel at home. Comparing with Cristiano Ronaldo who has had time at Portugal (Sporting CP), England (Manchester United), Spain (Real Madrid), and currently trades in Italy (Juventus), Messi has refused to betray the honesty and support Barca gave to him at his time of need and he has decided to repay Barca in their own coin. This article will shed more light why Messi has remained at Barca and might not leave soon. Let us learn from Lionel Andres Messi Cuccittini.
Lionel Messi: The Loyal Barcelona Hero
Lionel Messi is an Argentine footballer who has gone professional both as a forward and a captain to both the Argentinian and Barcelona team. Aside being considered the best player in the world, he is also regarded as one of the best and greatest players that have graced the game of the round leather. Messi consecutively won the Ballon d'Or four times out of the five he had.
Check this: Sacrifice: What you must Lose to Win
He has spent his entire professional club career in Barcelona and has won a total of 33 trophies which includes nine La Liga titles, six Copa del Rey and four UEFA Champions League titles.
Lionel Andres Cuccittini Messi was born on 24 June, 1987 in Rosario, Argentina. Messi was the third out of four children to a steel factory manager father, Jorge Messi and the mother Celia Cuccittini, who used to work in a magnet manufacturing shop.
While growing up, Leo developed an interest in football at a very young age and he played with his elder brothers constantly. When Messi was four, he joined Grandoli, a local club in Argentina where his own father coached him. Messi was inspired to play football by his grandmother because she follows him to his training and matches.
Before Messi was 11, he lost his grandmother and this greatly affected him. Since the incidence, anytime Messi scores, he celebrates his goals looking up and points to the sky to pay a tribute to his grandmother (so you know now why Messi points and looks up when he scores).
His challenges
Messi has been a lifelong supporter of Newell's Old Boys and he joined the club when he was just six. He played for the club for six years during which he scored close to 500 goals. Unfortunately, at age 10, Messi had a devastating blow to his professional career; Messi was diagnosed with a growth hormone deficiency.
See this: Stop being Selfish!!!
At this time, his father health insurance was only able to cater for two years growth hormone treatment; at a cost of $1,000 per month. Messi's club, Newell's Old Boys promised to help him and contribute to the payment but they failed on their promise. River Plate also showed interest in Messi's footballing ability but were not able to help on his treatment due to the country's economic setback.
The Jackpot
Since Messi's family had relatives in Catalonia, Spain, they decided to go for a trial in Barcelona in September 2000. Charly Rexach, the Barcelona's first team coach then quickly wanted to sign him but the board would not allow him because of Messi's young age.
On 14 December, Messi's family issued an ultimatum to Barcelona to sign him or forget it and the senior coach Rexach seeing no other paper around him had to use a napkin to sign Messi to Barcelona.
Read this: What can Stop Me
February 2001, the family moved to Barcelona and lived beside the stadium, Camp Nou. Messi couldn't play with age mates because of the transfer issues and he found it hard to integrate into the team without playing football with them; an already reserved guy. Due to Messi's calm and silent nature, his teammates thought he was dumb.
Messi stayed a year at Barcelona's youth academy, La Masia before he was finally enrolled in the Spanish Football Federation in February 2002. Since he could now play in all the competitions, he started making friends most especially Cesc Fabregas and Gerard Pique.
With the help of Barca, Messi was able to complete his hormone treatment at age 14 and later became a very important part of the 'Baby Dream Team', the Barcelona's greatest ever youth side (now you know why Messi is loyal to Barca; they also worship him there).
See this: The Great Men's Cross: Les Brown
Get Hungry for Success
In his first season (2002-03), he was the top scorer with 36 goals out of 30 games in the Cadetes A where they won the treble. He was injured before a final match against Espanyol and was allowed to play if only he would wear a plastic protector. At the middle of the game, he became uncomfortable with the mask and had to take it off.
Just after he did, he scored two goals in 10 minutes before he was substituted.
At the end of the season, Arsenal came with an offer for him which was his first from a foreign club. At that time, Pique and Fabregas left for England but Messi chose to stay in Barcelona.......continue at The Great Men's Cross: Lionel Messi 2

Xiaomi Mi TV Stick review: The wrong Android TV dongle at the wrong time
This cheap streaming player is sluggish and expensive.
By Jared Newman
TechHive Sep 25, 2020 3:00 am PDT
Image: Jared Newman / IDG
Customizable home screen can recommend content
Powerful Google Assistant voice search
Chromecast built in
Choppy, laggy, sluggish performance
Hulu is practically unusable
Remote lacks IR control
Pricey for a 1080p streaming device
An inexpensive Android TV streamer is a great idea, but the execution in this case is a mess.
With a $50 list price, the Xiaomi Mi TV Stick aims to be a relatively cheap Android TV streaming dongle for 1080p televisions. Like other Android TV devices, it offers Google Assistant voice controls, Chromecast support, and a slick menu for recommending things to watch.
But all that is undermined by the Mi TV Stick's performance, which ranges from just average (in apps like Netflix and HBO) to unusable (in Hulu). Combined with a chintzy remote and the likelihood of a much more interesting Android TV device just around the corner—that is, Google's own "Sabrina" streaming dongle—the Xiaomi Mi TV Stick doesn't offer much in its favor.
This review is part of TechHive's coverage of the best media streamers, where you'll find reviews of competing products, plus a buyer's guide to the features you should consider when shopping for this type of product.
Slow stick, cheap remote
In the same vein as Amazon's Fire TV Stick and Roku's Streaming Stick+, the Mi TV Stick is a finger-length device that plugs directly into the HDMI slot on modern televisions. Depending on the arrangement of your TV's HDMI ports, you may need a short HDMI extender cable to make the Mi TV Stick fit; fortunately Xiaomi now includes one in the box.
For tech specs, the Mi TV Stick uses a Cortex-A53 quad-core processor and Mali-450 GPU with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of onboard storage. The components are similar to what Xiaomi has used in its previous Android TV players, the Mi Box and Mi Box S, but it has half as much RAM as those devices, and it doesn't support 4K video.
A better choice
MSRP: 49.99
Best Prices Today: $34.99 at Best Buy | $49.99 at Amazon | $49.99 at Dell Home
In practice, the hardware results in a sluggish experience. The system routinely vacillates between smooth and choppy frame rates while scrolling through menus, and the home screen can take upwards of five seconds to reload after exiting an app. Even just pressing a button on the remote often fails to produce an immediate response.
Hulu, for whatever reason, seems to bring out the worst of these issues. Scrolling around the app causes the Mi TV Stick to freeze for seconds at a time, and it occasionally becomes so tripped up that it just crashes back to the home screen. Crashing also occurred during media playback, usually while trying to fast forward or adjust the device's volume.
The fact that Xiaomi hasn't fixed issues with one of the most popular streaming services doesn't instill confidence, especially since some early adopters of the Mi TV Stick have been complaining about the matter since last August. Xiaomi says the performance issues in apps like Hulu may have to do with it being an EU version of the hardware, rather than the U.S. version that's launching later this year. We'll reevaluate once that version is available, but in the meantime, buyers will need to exercise caution as the EU model is selling on Amazon right now.
[ Further reading: The best streaming TV services ]
The remote, meanwhile, is also a letdown, though not a surprising one since it's nearly identical to what shipped with 2018's Mi Box S. (The only difference: It now has a shortcut button for Amazon Prime Video.) The minimalist remote has a hollow, cheap feel to it; more importantly, it lacks an infrared emitter for direct control of TV volume and power. The best you can do is control the Mi TV Stick's internal volume level (which tops out at whatever maximum you've set on the TV itself), or use HDMI-CEC to control a connected sound system. In 2020, there's really no excuse for this omission.
Jared Newman / IDG
The Xiaomi Mi TV Stick remote has volume buttons, but the lack of IR support means it can't directly control a TV's volume.
Also worth noting: There are no additional ports on the Mi TV Stick, aside from Micro-USB for power. While some Android TV devices can gain a USB port through a USB-OTG cable, this didn't work with the Mi TV Stick. Both an Xbox One controller and a USB thumb drive failed to register through the USB-OTG cable, and plugging in a USB keyboard caused the device to reboot.
The Xiaomi Mi TV Stick runs Android 9.0.
The Mi TV Stick's hardware is especially disappointing because the underlying Android TV software has gotten quite good. App availability—once the Achilles heel of Android TV—is no longer an issue, as the platform now offers pretty much every streaming service you might want. With Amazon continuing to fight with WarnerMedia and NBCUniversal over money, the presence of HBO Max and Peacock on Android TV even gives the platform something of an edge. (You can finally get Peacock on Roku devices.)
The Android TV home screen takes some getting used to, but it can be really useful if you spend some time tailoring it to your liking. At the top of the screen—beyond a now-obligatory row of teaser content—is a customizable row of quick-launch app shortcuts. Underneath that are a series of "channel" rows from different apps, providing recommendations on what to watch. By scrolling to the left of any channel row, you can remove it or rearrange its order on the home screen.
Android TV offers customizable home screen rows, each with recommendations from different apps.
While you'll still have to dig into individual apps to see their full catalogs, being able to glance at suggestions from across Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, HBO Max, Disney+, and other streaming sources is pretty handy. The only problem is with Android TV's "Play Next" row, which is supposed to help you quickly resume any shows you're already watching. Many streaming sources continue to ignore this feature of Android TV, rendering it largely useless.
Also a better choice
Roku Streaming Stick+
Best Prices Today: $44.99 at Roku | $67.00 at Amazon
Other hallmarks of Android TV are present on the Xiaomi Mi TV Stick as well. With the Google Assistant button on the remote, you can launch videos directly in supported apps such as Netflix and HBO Max; search by genre, actor, or director; control smart-home devices; or play music in apps like Spotify and YouTube Music.
Google Assistant excels at detailed genre searches on Android TV.
Having Chromecast support built in also comes in handy when you're using a phone or tablet and want to launch videos without having to grab the remote, and the system works nicely with Bluetooth headphones when you want to listen privately.
Built-in Chromecast support means you can use apps on your phone (including Plexamp, pictured at left) to play media on your TV (pictured at right).
But in some areas, Android TV still seems unrefined. Google Assistant has some odd blind spots—it can't search the Amazon Prime catalog, for instance, and I got an error while trying to launch CBS All Access content—and using Google Photos albums as a screensaver doesn't seem to work on the Mi TV Stick like it does on actual Chromecast devices. Android TV also lacks a single-sign-on feature for TV Everywhere apps, akin to what's available on Apple TV, Fire TV, and Roku devices. Overall, though, it's become a competent TV operating system with some unique perks.
The big question mark
Although Xiaomi just recently launched the Mi TV Stick in the United States, the possibility of a better budget Android TV device from Google looms large. That device, codenamed "Sabrina" and reportedly called Chromecast with Google TV, will likely be announced on September 30 with a price of $50 to $60. Rumors suggest that it will support 4K streaming, unlike the Mi TV Stick, and it might have a redesigned home screen to boot.
Those who want a low-cost Android TV device would be well-advised to wait and see what Google brings. But even on its own merits, the Xiaomi Mi TV Stick is a tough sell.
For the same $50 asking price, you can get either a Roku Streaming Stick+ or an Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K, both of which offer much better performance, more capable remote controls, and 4K HDR video support. We can only hope Google will fare better at offering a compelling alternative to these budget streamers than Xiaomi has.

Q: JSF PrimeFaces overlayPanel submit value I would like to submit value form jsf page to bean from overlayPanel with checkbox like this:

To show overlay panel and ajax submission I use this code, and see it's OK in debugger:
<p:commandButton id="joinBtn" value="Basic" type="button" disabled="#{dataPropertyCurrent.notJoinable}"/>
<p:overlayPanel id="joinPanel" for="joinBtn" appendToBody="true" dynamic="false">
    <f:facet name="header">Details</f:facet>
    <p:dataList value="#{treeBean.getDataPropsCouldBeJoinedWith(dataPropertyCurrent)}" type="definition" var="dataJoinVal">
        <h:panelGrid columns="2" cellpadding="10">
            <h:column>
                <p:selectBooleanCheckbox value="#{dataJoinVal.checked}" id="cbID">
                    <p:ajax event="change" update="cbID" partialSubmit="true"/>
                </p:selectBooleanCheckbox>
            </h:column>
            <h:column>
                <h:outputText value="#{dataJoinVal.caption}" />
            </h:column>
        </h:panelGrid>
    </p:dataList>
    <!--<p:commandButton  value="Apply" id="btnApplyJoin" type="button" process="@parent" />-->
    <h:outputLabel value="ID: #{dataPropertyCurrent.joinDataPropertyId}" />
</p:overlayPanel>

But after it when the overlayPanel is hidden and form submit button being pressed with this code:
<p:commandButton value="Apply join" update="joinAccordionPanel,dsAccordionPanelMain" actionListener="#{treeBean.applyJoinOptions}" />

*

*it sets "false" to bean boolean value again.

So how to submit overlayPanel value to bean properly?
PrimeFaces version: 3.5

A: I've found explanation here: http://forum.primefaces.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=30550#p97737:
"If you are using appendToBody, it's strongly recommended to have a form inside the overlayPanel component that wraps all of the input fields and buttons. This is what you have done in your last solution. However, this means that you cannot place the overlayPanel inside another form in the xhtml page because of the limitation on nesting forms. The best solution is typically to avoid appendToBody wherever it's not absolutely necessary."
Edit
I've added <h:form> inside overlayPanel, and now it works fine:
<p:overlayPanel id="joinPanel" for="joinBtn" appendToBody="true" dynamic="true" >
    <h:form id="formTmp">
    <f:facet name="header">Details</f:facet>
    <p:dataList value="#{treeBean.getDataPropsCouldBeJoinedWith(dataPropertyCurrent)}" type="definition" var="dataJoinVal">
        <h:panelGrid columns="2" cellpadding="10">
            <h:column>
                <p:selectBooleanCheckbox value="#{dataJoinVal.checked}" id="cbID">
                    <p:ajax event="change" update="cbID" partialSubmit="true"/>
                </p:selectBooleanCheckbox>
            </h:column>
            <h:column>
                <h:outputText value="#{dataJoinVal.caption}" />
            </h:column>
        </h:panelGrid>
    </p:dataList>
    </h:form>
</p:overlayPanel>

Chrysler Sebring Owner Ratings & Reviews
2005 Chrysler Sebring - This car is average. However, it is made with the dealers profit in mind.
Greenfield, Indiana
I like the sleek look of the vehicle. The seating is relatively comfortable. I hate the entire engine compartment setup, the cheap trunk materials, and the fact that the entire underneath side is just plastic shields with plastic buttons.
This wasn't a fun experience at all but it was memorable. My husband, 81 year old mother and I were on our way to a wedding. The car overheated and we had to pull over at a place of business. Before I could object, my husband removed the radiator cap and spewed hot coolant all over his hand and part of his face. He got steam burn on hand.

This wasn't a fun experience at all but it was memorable. My husband, 81 year old mother and I were on our way to a wedding. The car overheated and we had to pull over at a place of business. Before I could object, my husband removed the radiator cap and spewed hot coolant all over his hand and part of his face. He got steam burn on hand. Fortunately we were a few miles from our daughter who has a big vehicle and was on her way to the same wedding and were able to hitch a ride. However, my husband sat through a wedding with a searing wound on his hand.
The repairs are relatively cheap for first 100K miles.
There are several negative items that I can share. The first item is that I hope you never need to put a water pump in this vehicle. It is absolutely astounding that you have to take off radiator fans, power steering pumps, timing covers and replace the timing chain to change a water pump, with a minimum cost of $1000 to repair a water pump. It is cheaply held together with plastic and buttons.

I have always LOVED the look of this car, and the feeling of the wind in my hair. I love the color and the way it handles. It's now 15 years old, and still drives like a dream. I've had to put very little money into it over the years. It has been dependable, and I plan to keep driving it for as long as it stays that way. The only "downside" has been that the top seems to have "shrunk" at some point. There is a small leak over the driver door when there is a slow rain, and it can get loud when it's windy.
Not long after I bought it, I had it parked on the street. I came outside to see a couple looking at it and the woman was saying "oh look. There's my car." It was said in the way you would use when looking at something you'll never be able to afford. I couldn't believe someone was doing that with something I actually owned!

It has been mechanically sound, and is SO much fun to drive.
The wind can be loud and it can get cold in the winter.
2007 Chrysler Sebring -
Caruthersville, Missouri
What I like about my car is that it drives extremely well and is just fun to drive. What I don't like about it is the passenger side window doesn't work, and I don't really wanna spend the money to get it fixed since I'm not sure if I will get a new car in the future. I also don't like the scratches, dents and scuffs it has and messed up steering wheel. Overall, it's a cute car, but if you really look, you'll notice it has quite a bit of cosmetic damage that I don't like. Other than the cosmetic damage, I would keep the car for years to come, no question about it. It has been a dependable car, and like I said, the way it drives makes me wanna keep it.

The only thing other than that, is I would prefer something with more safety features and better gas mileage, but if there was a way I could cheaply update my car and make it how I want, then I would totally keep it and not even think about upgrading. So I'm really not sure how long I'll be keeping it, but as for right now, I'm in no rush to get something else because I'm thankful I own my car. It gets me where I need to be without any issues.
Probably when I bought the car. A picture was posted of me buying it, and people in my town were proud of me to have saved money and bought it myself, especially my parents. I felt such freedom having my own car. I wrote my own check to the dealer and felt really mature for how I did things.
The silver color, how good it drives, and the size is not too big or small.
Not the best on gas, cosmetic damage, passenger side window is broke, doesn't have any of the new safety features, has an old timey clock instead of digital.
