Q: How to push add to cart event in datalayer on magento widget I'm using magento2.4.2 and added catalog widget in homepage.Need to add datalayer to addtocart event in MagentoCatalogWidgets.
Note:Add to cart event for listing and detail pages are working perfectly

A: the first thing to understand with widget is that the template they use can be configured differently from the pagebuilder, on the screenshot below, we can see the template is: Magento_CatalogWidget::product/widget/content/grid.phtml (full path: vendor/magento/module-catalog-widget/view/frontend/templates/product/widget/content/grid.phtml)

To customise this template, we know we may add a new file in the folder app/design/frontend/Vendor/ThemeName/Magento_CatalogWidget/product/widget/content/grid.phtml
Once we have this template in the right place, then adding datalayer feature will lead to have the same changes as what was done on other templates.

The Cubs' wild thing started challenging batters and throwing strikes, reinventing himself as a possible ace at age 28.
When Jeff Samardzija was bouncing up and down between the minors and triple-A, he looked like the latest Cubs flamethrower with no control, an odd accompaniment to human panic attack Carlos Marmol (career walks-per-nine: 6.03, about twice the MLB average) and Raphael Dolis, the poor man's Carlos Marmol.
In 2011, his first full season in the majors, Samardzija walked over five batters per nine innings, the third-worst rate in baseball for anyone who threw at least eighty innings. The next year, the Cubs were looking at paying a combined ten million dollars to three relievers who did anything but that. That same year, Scott Spratt of The Hardball Times calculated the pitchers who were most likely to throw a ball on a 3-1 or 3-2 count, a "who's who of wild pitchers from the last three years." Marmol had the seventh-highest rate, Samardzija just missed the top 20.
This made the Cubs tremendously entertaining to watch, especially for Cardinals fans like me, who were better positioned to appreciate the drama Marmol and Samardzija brought to the team's precious few leads. It did not, however, look like a good investment. Nonetheless, the latter emerged as a starter after 2012 spring training, to the surprise of even close observers like Ken Rosenthal.
And he got good. This is what it looks like, from the catcher's perspective.
Samardzija didn't challenge left-handed batters during all of 2011, staying safely on the outside of the plate. 44 percent of the pitches he threw to left-handed hitters were balls; that's really high. In 2012, he lowered that to 38 percent, which might not seem like much, but at least gets him in the range of normal.
Samardzija's ERA and home runs per nine innings jumped as a result of pitching to contact, but his K rate increased to more than a strikeout per inning, and he nearly cut his walk rate in half. Today Samardzija threw eight innings, walked one, struck out nine, and had a strikes-to-balls ratio of 65/35; he picked up the win.
Just barely, though: Carlos Marmol, his former bullpen colleague, faced three batters—he struck out the first, hit the second, and walked the third, throwing nine strikes to 19 balls. Veteran Japanese closer Kyuji Fujikawa vultured a save, meaning that Marmol Watch Year Two began early.


Pin the Propeller on the Plane. Say that three times fast!
When Lachlan turned 3 we did an airplane party. My best friend Kathy's son just turned 4 and his party is this weekend. He is all about planes. She asked if I would draw the plane and make the propellers for this game.
To say I was thrilled to do so would be an understatement. Kathy has had my back and been there for me and my family so many times in so many ways. She has many talents and skills, I feel like she does so much for me and I can never fully repay her. Of course she doesn't expect anything in return, and that's how a true friendship works. But still.
Kind of deep for simply making an airplane game, sorry about that. But Kathy, if you are reading this, Thank you!
So here is the super simple game. My husband used to do construction and had a big roll of that brown paper you use to tape off the floors if you are painting and don't want to get the floors messy. We have used this roll tons since having kids. At their parties we cover the tables with it and put out a basket of crayons.
Today I rolled it out on our big counter and drew this plane.
Pretty easy to free hand. I used a yard stick to draw the big parallel lines for the wings. Used a dinner plate to make the circle for the body. Two big Xs and little legs with tires. It's not perfectly accurate, but close enough.
I made the plane a bit bigger than the last one. So I had to try to make the propellers as big as possible. I made them at a diagonal on a standard piece of construction paper.
The boys helped me cut some out.
I pinned one on the plane to see how it looked.
I made a propeller for each child that will be at the party. We can write their names on it and let them each take a turn pinning the propeller on the plane. Then we can just look to see who got closest once everyone has gone. It has been my experience at parties, that it's kind of hard to get all the kids to play all at once. Usually there is one or two stragglers, little ones most of the time. This way they can all play at their leisure and we can still remember whose propeller was whose.

Kent Island
Dodge Durango SRT: High-End Performance for the Family
October 25, 2017 by admin 10 Comments
A 2017 WAPA Rally first look at Dodge's hot SUV.
Check out the hood air intake and extractor vents on the SRT's hood.
High-end performance SUVs are nothing new. In the early 1990s, the GMC Typhoon lifted the fun quotient considerably by delivering a turbocharged 4.3-liter V6 engine, Garrett intercooler, BorgWarner transfer case, and a self-leveling rear suspension. It rivaled the performance of top sports car models of that era, including the Corvette. After the briefest of production runs, the Tycoon and the similar Chevrolet Blazer SS were canceled (see The Chevy Blazer is Back, But in Name Only?).
Fast forward a decade and Porsche gave us the Cayenne, the first SUV from this benchmark-setting luxury sports car brand. If you hated the thought of Porsche adding an SUV, you might have been won over by this SUV's prowess as it has proven to be almost as fast any Porsche sports car, while setting the bar for all performance SUVs.
Red brake calipers are one of many performance touches on this Dodge.
2018 Dodge Durango SRT
Dodge has its own answer to the Cayenne and that's the 2018 Durango SRT. It is the latest take on Dodge's midsize, three-row SUV and its most powerful model yet. We probably shouldn't be all that surprised that there is a Durango SRT. After all, the platform-sharing Jeep Grand Cherokee traces its SRT history to 2006, with the current version rolling out six years later.
What's so significant about the Durango SRT is that it retains all of its top features, including room for six (captain's chairs in the middle row instead of a bench seat), utility and towing capabilities — a whopping 8,700 pounds.
What's so special is what's under the hood — a 6.4-liter HEMI V8 engine generating 475 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. The good news is that Dodge estimates the Durango SRT can go from 0-60 mph in just 4.4 seconds. The bad news is that you'll only get 13 mpg in the city and 19 mpg on the highway.
Three rows of seats in every Durango SRT.
Performance Does Not Come Cheap
Cost wise, you'll need to prepare yourself to pay a $1,000 gas guzzler tax on top of the required premium grade gasoline for each fill up. Moreover, this all-wheel drive model retails for $64,090 (including destination charge) and that's more than double the cost of the base model.
Cost aside, the Durango SRT is a hoot to drive. My driving partner (Arsis Fruritch) and I secured one at the 2017 WAPA Rally held on Kent Island, Maryland, earlier this month. It was one of the last vehicles we drove for the day, so we managed to get in a little extra time with it. Suffice to say, that the brief spin wasn't nearly enough. Furthermore, with local police eager to hand out tickets, we had to take extra care not to draw excess attention to what we were doing.
That said, we cast our concerns to the wind, finding a few remote spots on the island to open her up. She complied, by delivering raging potent power accompanied by a raucous exhaust note, immediately bringing me back to the day when a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT came through my press fleet rotation. Like the Jeep, this one delivers a high-performance suspension with adaptive damping — the better to hang the corners with.
Track lighting for this track-ready SRT SUV.
The Beast Within and Without
The funny thing about the Durango SRT, is that although it looks like a beast (and it is) with its beefy fender flares, hood intake and extractors, and other embellishments, it is still very much a functioning family vehicle. In the recent past, Dodge marketed its Grand Caravan as a "man van" and no one was fooled. On the other hand, in the Durango SRT, you have a vehicle that lives up to all the hype, one that's certain to attract a niche following.
Before we brought the Durango SRT back, we took note of some of its other features. The requisite red Brembo brake calipers were present. You also have your choice of seven drive modes at the ready — auto, sport, track, snow, tow, valet, and eco. Dodge didn't skimp on interior materials either with leather seats and tri-zone climate control among the chief features.
All in all, the Durango SRT may offer the best blend of passenger comfort, utility, towing and performance of any SUV out there, even outdistancing the Porsche Cayenne in at least two of the four departments. All this coming from SRT, FCA's Street & Racing Technology division that's also brought us Hellcat and Demon.

First Look: 2018 Mercedes-Benz C 350e PHEV
A Kent Island glimpse at a compact luxury PHEV sedan.
On the road with a Mercedes-Benz C 350e.
The Mercedes-Benz brand has remained elusive among my press fleet vehicles, a situation I plan to amend by next year. You simply can't properly evaluate the market without a steady dose of M-B models to compare with Audi, BMW, and other luxury products.
At the recent 2017 WAPA Rally on Kent Island, Maryland, I had an opportunity to drive the 2018 Mercedes-Benz C 350e, a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. Certainly, 45 minutes isn't enough to give a full evaluation, but it does provide a "first look" overview, which I'm sharing here.
Now in its third year, the C 350e offers a blend of luxury, performance, and efficiency worth exploring. This compact luxury sedan comes with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and a 60-kilowatt electric motor to deliver 275 combined horsepower. Under hard acceleration, this rear-wheel drive only PHEV goes from 0-60 mph in just 5.8 seconds. Paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, under optimum conditions the C 350e delivers a combined 51 mpg, in part due to its approximate 20-mile electric-only range.
Quite frankly, these are amazing numbers and likely the reason why we'll see far more PHEV variants in the coming years.The 2018 C 350e costs $47,900 plus $995 for destination.
Exterior Highlights
There's little difference between the standard C-Class and the PHEV and that's a good thing. Already a handsome sedan with a long hood and short rear deck, Mercedes-Benz wisely chose to keep this hybrid close to the standard bearer's looks.
Standard equipment includes 18-inch twin 5-spoke wheels and your choice of 11 colors. Or perhaps what I should say is you have a choice of black and polar white paint schemes with the nine other choices costing an additional $720, $1,080 or $1,515. Wheel and tire upgrades are available as well, costing $1,340 to $3,260 for the seven package options.
See Also — One Fine Week With a Mercedes-AMG C43 Coupe
Other single options include the following AMG upgrades: rear apron trim ($810), front splitter ($780), rear apron flics ($310), side sill panels ($1,100), and a rear spoiler ($520). It may seem odd to include AMG elements on a PHEV, but that's something Mercedes-Benz offers.
You can also opt for an Advanced Lighting Package ($800), bringing in active LED headlamps with adaptive high beam assist, a panoramic roof ($1,000), and various accessories.
Interior Highlights
Mercedes-Benz interiors are exquisite and boast an assortment of materials. Standard features include power front seats with driver memory, dual-zone climate control, a high-resolution dashboard, and a 40/20/40 split-folding rear seat.
This five-passenger sedan offers your choice of three cloth or three leather coverings. Further, you can also upgrade to nappa leather, offering two color choices for $3,800 each. Notably, a leather seating package ($1,950) splits that difference and adds driver seat memory for the passenger seat. Four wood trim options are also available.
Individual interior upgrades include heated seats ($580), heated and ventilated front seats ($1,030), a wood/leather steering wheel ($500), and a heated steering wheel ($250). Certainly, there are no lack of upgrade opportunities with this and other Mercedes-Benz models.

Audio and Navigation
All C 350e models come with a central controller, Bluetooth audio streaming, a pair of USB audio ports, HD Radio, and a Front-Bass audio system.
Among the entertainment and convenience packages available include a Premium Package with keyless entry and satellite radio ($700), a Navigation and Multimedia Package ($2,200) and a Comfort Package ($750) — adding a power rear and side window sunshades.
Individual upgrades include a Burmester Surround Sound System ($850), Head-up Display ($950), and GARMIN map pilot ($625).
Safety and Related Technologies
Standard safety features include nine airbags, a pre-collision system, adaptive braking technology, and a rearview camera. Moreover, you'll even find a crosswind assist system to help maintain control when a truck passes by or if you are buffeted by high winds.
Package options include a Parking Assist Package with active parking assist and a surround view system ($1,090) and a $2,250 driver assist package, adding lane keep assist, blind spot assist, pedestrian detection and several other safety features. Further, you can also opt for blind spot assist ($550) and active parking assist ($970) separately.
Behind the Wheel: Mercedes-Benz C 350e
I'm not a fan of the stalk-mounted transmission shifter on the 350e. I understand why it's there — to free up space on the center console. Once I got used to its location, I was able to enjoy the drive.
In fact, Mercedes-Benz utilizes the same engine in the C 300, which produces 241 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque on its own. However, that model gets the 9-speed transmission and offers available all-wheel drive.
Step on the accelerator and the C 350e quietly moves away from a dead stop — battery power gets this sedan going. Press hard on the gas pedal and the engine roars to life, moving this sedan with authority. The steering is crisp, the ride comfortable and the brakes firm with only a minimal amount of "squishiness" detected, thanks to the regenerative braking system.
First looks are just that — long enough to gauge highlights about a vehicle, but not too short to assess as I do for a weekly drive. Still, I like this sedan and see it as one more example of automakers flexing their electrification muscles. The $7,650 price premium over the base model is hard to swallow, but an available $4,043 tax credit closes the gap by more than half.

Kia Optima Hybrid: Extended Drive Time
Many miles and smiles with Kia's Optima Hybrid sedan.
The Kia Optima Hybrid is available in Premium and EX trims.
Hybrid sales peaked in 2013 and have fallen steadily since. Low fuel prices are a significant contributor, falling below $2 per gallon at times with those low prices covering large swathes of America. Another reason is the advent of modern electric cars — some shoppers are opting for pure electric vehicles over hybrids.
Though demand has fallen, manufacturers continue to offer hybrids, which help them achieve EPA fleet averages. Although prices are somewhat higher than their standard gasoline counterparts, incentives typically are strong. Shop carefully and you may find a hybrid costing just hundreds more, while returning excellent fuel economy.
The 2017 Kia Optima Hybrid is one model among many in the segment. With a base price of $25,995, plus destination, the Optima Hybrid costs $3,495 more than the base Optima S. A second trim, EX, costs $4,995 more than the base hybrid model.
For most weeks I drive a manufacturer's vehicle for six or seven days and for approximately 250 miles. For the Optima Hybrid, we covered more than 800 miles and had the sedan for two weeks. That's because Kia allowed me to take the hybrid to the 2017 WAPA Rally on Kent Island, Maryland, where my driver partner (Arsis Fruritch) and I drove 10 of the 55 vehicles available. Thank you, Kia!
As for the model at hand, the following are the key points about this hybrid:
Point No. 1 — The styling differences are negligible. Put gas and hybrid variants of the same model together and the differences are usually clear. For some mysterious reason, certain automakers think customers want to scream "this is a hybrid," when blending in is the best approach from a styling point in my opinion.
Happily, Kia doesn't make the Optima and Optima Hybrid look much different, other than slight grille differences and badging. What may look avant-garde initially can come across detestable a few years later. I'm not mentioning names, just pointing out the obvious.
Point No. 2 — You'll find ample room for five. Nearly across the board, today's midsize models are roomy, offering almost as much space as large sedans. The upsizing we have seen over the past five to 10 years takes an opposite approach from the downsizing of the late 1970s to mid-1980s.
The winner here is the customer who may want no compromise room for five. Midsize sedans are today's family vehicle or at least the type of car families want when an SUV or a minivan is not an option.
Point No. 3 — The base model is relatively well equipped. Compare the base hybrid to the standard gasoline version and you'll find equipment differences, what demonstrates the hybrid is better equipped, effectively narrowing the $3,495 price difference between the two.
Furthermore, those differences include the following equipment included with the hybrid, but not standard with the base gas model. With this in mind, I did the research for you. Here goes: heated outside mirrors with LED turn signal indicators, automatic trunk opener, a 7-inch display screen (it measures 5 inches in the gas model), Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility, spill-resistant cloth seats, and an illuminated glove box.
That's quite a number of features you won't find in the standard model unless you opt for the EX trim, costing just $555 less than the Optima Hybrid Premium. If you want driver-assist features, consider the one package available — the Hybrid Convenience Package ($1,795) adding rear parking assist, blind-spot detection, rear cross traffic alert along with a power driver's seat with lumbar support, power-folding side mirrors, a driver's seat integrated memory system, and sound-absorbing front windows.
Point No. 4 — The EX edition offers many premium features. As well equipped as the Premium edition is, the EX lifts the equipment offerings to the next level. Indeed, for about five grand you expect a long list of additional standard amenities and the EX delivers.
LED positioning lights, power-folding side mirrors, and 17-inch alloy wheels get things started. You'll also find an 8-inch touchscreen display, satellite radio, HD Radio, navigation, rear console USB ports and a 12-volt outlet, electronic parking brake, mood lighting, front seatback pockets, leather seats, a 12-way power seat with lumbar support, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and a split fold-down rear seat.
For another $5,000 you might consider the Hybrid EX Technology Package ($5,000), what adds such features as a panoramic sunroof with a power sunshade, ventilated front seats, and heated rear seats. You also get Kia's full suite of driver-assist features as rear parking assist, blind-spot detection, rear cross-traffic alert, advanced smart cruise control, and autonomous emergency braking. Add it all up and your price tops $37,000 if you also opt for one of two exterior color choices adding $395 to your cost.
Point No. 5 — Kia's technology is not difficult to comprehend….or embrace. Kudos to Kia for making a telematics system that is fairly easy to use. The UVO system is a Microsoft product, but far better than what some competitors offered early on (Ford SYNC, for example).
The navigation system worked fine, but I prefer using my iPhone, as Apple CarPlay is my preferred method for obtaining directions. Likewise, Android Auto is also included, giving the majority of smartphone users compatibility they crave.
As for the Harman/Kardon QuantumLogic Premium Surround Sound with ClarifFi (standard in the EX), this 630-watt, 10-speaker unit delivers excellent sound. I like what automakers have done in the sound department over the past few years, by offering top-shelf audio systems on top-trim models.
Point No. 6 — Safety is hardly an afterthought. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) awarded the 2017 Optima with its highest crash-testing rating — Top Safety Pick+. This score applies to the hybrid and underscores the attention to safety taken by Kia.
Both trims come with a full suite of airbags, including a driver's knee airbag. Check out point no. 4 for the various driver-assist features available as they will match what equipment today's models offer.
Point No. 7 — You have the upper hand when negotiating. Rarely do I discuss incentives when reviewing a vehicle. The reason? They change so often. It is always my hope that my reviews will supply value years later too…why add new car incentives when they no longer apply?
In fact, there are incentives on new cars — on hybrids, they're typically the best you'll find. When buying a new hybrid, you should have more leverage than the standard version, so keep this in mind. Either way, expect deals that exceed the average new car, using those incentives to your advantage.
Point No. 8 — There are two kinds of performance attributes to consider. The 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine powering the Optima Hybrid is about as mild as they come with just 154 horsepower under its belt. Thus, this model makes an EPA-estimated 39 mpg in the city and 46 mpg on the highway. Notably, we averaged about 40 mpg and that's a fantastic number for two people and a trunk full of gear.
The engine joins with an electric motor to send power to the front wheels. At times, the motor delivers its own power alone (typically while crawling), but also joins with the engine to combine for 192 horsepower and 271 pound-feet of torque. Consequently, this means when you need to "floor it" the hybrid responds in kind by delivering copious amounts of power. Furthermore, you'll enjoy a comfortable ride and light-to-the-touch steering in a sedan offering a premium feel. Yes, the brakes are squishy when first applied, but I soon became comfortable with the sensation — what creates kinetic energy that's sent to the lithium polymer battery pack for distribution later.
Optima Hybrid prices can climb quickly if you opt for the EX with the technology package. Personally, I like the base model with the available Hybrid Convenience Package, what delivers a well-equipped hybrid for $29,000. Work hard on extracting your full incentives and your out-the-door price should come in around $25,000. That's excellent for any midsize sedan, yet especially so for one topping 40 mpg.
As for owning a hybrid in the first place, if you plan to keep it for the long haul, you stand a much better chance of getting your money's worth. You also have Kia's excellent warranty plan backing your Optima Hybrid, providing yet another compelling reason to go green.
Finally, as for the Optima Hybrid's competitive set, you'll find the Toyota Camry Hybrid, Ford Fusion Hybrid, Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, and the Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid offered.

I've been coming to this location for over 5 years with my two brothers and my Dad and we have never had an issue or a bad experience. We love that they always have sports on TV too, definitely a great spot for guys!

24$ haircut was definitely not worth it! I don't know about the other stylist but courtney made me regret choosing sportsclips. She seemed as if she had a bad day and was annoyed at me being there for a hair cut, never felt like I was bothering so much someone just by sitting there before in my life! She also scratched my ear and didn't apologize.. didn't think she deserved a tip but thier systems basiclly force you to pay one.. I highly doubt I'll return!!!

Not blended. They dont input notes in the computer about what works. If you have a ton of cowlicks and tell them not to cut it too short, no amount of product can hide it when they just cut it too short anyway. Take some notes for the next time. Do what you say yoU will, then maybe you will quit having mom's standing over you while you cut their kids hair and you will keep your jobs.

I can say I've never had a bad experience here or ocotillo and you can get the first available stylist. Candace and Adri are my stylist now but they are all great.
"I have never been to SportClips, and have been looking for a reputable place to get my hair cut, wit"
I have never been to SportClips, and have been looking for a reputable place to get my hair cut, without being overcharged and ending up with a mediocre or poor cut. A co-worker recommended SportClips, so I followed him over there to get my hair cut as well. Hayley welcomed me immediately, went into great detail on what products and services were offered, and was extremely friendly and professional. This was the best haircut I've had in well over 5 years. I am definitely making this location of SportClips my hair cut location of choice from now on, and I will request Hayley; although I'm sure the other employees would do a great job as well. I overheard them talking with the other customers, and it was clear that everyone received the same level of friendliness and detailed care. Thanks so much, Hayley! I'm sold on SportClips!!

Health Sciences Interdisciplinary Team Hosts Week-Long Program for Young Adults with Intellectual Disabilities
Young adults from the Triangle with intellectual disabilities experienced an inaugural week-long skills camp in July tailored to support them as they transition to adulthood thanks to an interdisciplinary University collaboration called the Higher Education, Employment, Living Success (HEELS UP) Summer Intensive.
click to enlarge An occupational therapy student works with a HEELS UP participant.
The program is part of the recently established HEELS 2 Transition organization, an interdisciplinary collaboration among the UNC School of Medicine's Department of Allied Health Sciences, the Carolina Institute for Developmental Disabilities, UNC TEACCH Autism Program, and the School of Education.
The intensive program focused on five important skill areas: career exploration, self-management, goal setting, independent living skills, and community safety. Participants learned practical strategies in each area through interactive role-play activities and discussions to help them successfully navigate the rights, responsibilities, and benefits of adult life.
Over the course of the week, 10 participants engaged in learning activities with graduate students from the Division of Clinical Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling and the Division of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy. Participants practiced skills involved in cooking and kitchen safety, laundry, using a planner, job searching, and effectively responding to emergencies.
Stephen R. Hooper, associate dean and chair of the DAHS, said these types of learning intensives are important for young adults as they move into young adulthood.
"All adolescents need to learn these skills," Hooper said. "Some need additional supports to move their development forward. […] HEELS UP provides one mechanism for making this happen, and I am excited to see how his program will mature and become even more impactful in the coming years."
Jake Gerber, a participant and part-time employee at the Purple Bowl in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, spends his workday cleaning tables, preparing food, and restocking items. During the program, he said he learned about future careers and aspires to be an athletic equipment manager.
"Ever since I can remember, I have had an interest in sports," Gerber said. "I learned this week that I need more experience in cleaning sports equipment, setting up for drills, and fixing equipment," he said. "I hope I can continue to apply what I learned here toward my future goals, even if they change."
The week culminated in final presentations from students about their strengths, interests, and goals in front of an audience of their families, University faculty and staff, and other supporters. Participants exhibited confidence and excitement about taking the next steps toward their adult life aspirations, empowered with the skills and strategies they learned during the week.
Participant Lucia Romano, who has worked at Weaver Street Market and Harris Teeter, said she learned how to look professional and how to practice interviewing. Lucia hopes to become a professional dancer. "Ever since I can remember, I have been interested in performing in front of a crowd," Lucia said. "I hope to continue applying what I learned here."
Lucia's mother, Maria Romano, said the week challenged her to think about ways their family can help Lucia become more independent.
"I think one of the living skills that Lucia learned is that being an adult is hard and requires help," Maria said. "This was great."
Dara Chan, program director and assistant professor in the Division of Clinical Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling, said the interdisciplinary nature of the program allowed for integration expertise from departments and units across the University, along with a community partner, Full Power.
"Faculty and graduate students from each area were involved in developing curriculum, materials, and program implementation," Chan said. "It took months of planning, but it was well worth it. I think everyone involved gained from the program week."
One parent noted their child had gained confidence to take more responsibility in his life, such as setting reminders on his phone without an adult prompt. Parents also reported gains, such as increased confidence, independence, and enhanced social interactions.
Halie Ellinger, a second-year occupational therapy student, volunteered to help with the program. She said there is an immense need for post-secondary services, particularly for young adults.
"As a future health care practitioner who's passionate about working with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, I'm eager to take these lessons with me into clinical practice," Ellinger said. "It's an important step in the University's commitment toward inclusion."
Multiple students with the Division of Clinical Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling also volunteered during the week. First-year student Julie Doran said she learned more about the importance of interdisciplinary teams.
"This program is really a great example of how practitioners from different fields can work together to create better outcomes for the people they are serving. This experience also really solidified my interest in vocational rehabilitation," Doran said.
Osly Galobardi, a second-year student enrolled in the same graduate program as Doran, said she learned how her courses in career counseling applied in a real-world setting. Galobardi and Chan will present a talk on the HEELS UP program at the National Council on Rehabilitation Education conference this fall.
"What I enjoyed the most was seeing how quickly the participants applied the skills they gained each day and the creation of new friendships," Galobardi said. "They had to learn to adapt, but most importantly, adapt together."
In fact, two program participants had already made plans to go to bowling and to the movies at the end of their week together.
"To me, making these social connections was one of the significant markers of success," Chan said.
Private philanthropic support from the nonprofit Oak Foundation, provided funds for the week-long experience. The Lee Family Foundation, through the UNC Public Policy and Campus Y Social Innovation fund, also provided financial support. The program hopes to expand in 2020.
Dara Chan, ScD, CRC, focuses her research on community integration and resources for people with developmental and psychiatric disabilities. Its rehabilitation counseling program, led by Eileen Burker, PhD, CRC, is ranked #9 in the country, according to U.S. News & World Report. The Division of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy is led by Nancy Bagatell, PhD, OTR/L, FAOTA; its program in occupational therapy is ranked ninth according to U.S. News. Stephen Hooper, PhD, has served as DAHS chair since 2013.

Q: What is the correct place to put delegate in MVVM If we say that View and View Controller can be considered as View in MVVM, then shall we use Delegates in ModelView (which is for business logic).

A: your question is pretty unclear, but I can still provide an outline / guideline for you.
Typically as your apps evolve with more complexity, you'll need view models for each of your views that can be customized and described by data. You want your view controllers to be clean and very readable, and as a result, you should only use view controllers as containers for your custom views. Your custom views can have a view model property with a didSet that allows it to modify and configure the view. For example, when I dequeue a cell from a tableView, I would give the (cell as? MyCustomCellClass)?.viewModel = aViewModel to make it extremely readable. You use delegates to handle business logic by setting delegates appropriately to communicate between a subview and a view, or from a tableViewCell to whatever controller is managing and extending the UITableViewDelegate or UITableViewDataSource. So all in all, your MVVM architecture will rely on custom View Models that you can use to configure your custom views, while you have controller objects managing business logic and handling the flow of data between things at a lower level with things at the higher level. If you have a specific example you'd like help with, please post some code. Hope this helped!

A: Generally, if it's a view's delegate - put it in the View Model. If it's model-level delegate not related to the UI, implement it in the Model.

Artie Burns signs with Bears
Josh Alper
March 21, 2020, 2:35 PM ·1 min read
Cornerback Artie Burns said at the end of 2019 that he was excited about the prospect of moving on from the Steelers after being on the field for just 66 defensive snaps in the regular season.
Burns has found a team that wants to give him an opportunity for a more productive season. Agent Drew Rosenhaus told PFT that Burns has signed a one-year contract with the Bears.
Burns was a first-round pick in 2016 and played every game in his first three seasons, but was essentially limited to special teams work before being scratched entirely for the final six games of the regular season. He had 149 tackles, four interceptions, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries while in Pittsburgh.
The Bears have not signed any other cornerbacks this offseason. They released Prince Amukamara last month.
Artie Burns signs with Bears originally appeared on Pro Football Talk

Q: Script inserts the same values to the database When I run this code, I get some fields updated to my MySQL table but for some reason it is all the same value.
$query = $this->Connection_model->get_custom_db('sender')->get($sender_table);
foreach ($query->result() as $row) {
    $data = array(
            $sender_row => $row->$sender_row
    );
    $this->Connection_model->get_custom_db('receiver')->update($receiver_table, $data);
}

print_r($data) returns:

Array (
      [Strasse] => Pantherstr. ) Array (
      [Strasse] => Minimalweg ) Array (
      [Strasse] => Blankeneser Weg )

How can I fix this?

A: Looks like a $ to many in $row->sender_row:
$query = $this->Connection_model->get_custom_db('sender')->get($sender_table);
foreach ($query->result() as $row) {
    $data = array(
            $sender_row => $row->sender_row
    );
    $this->Connection_model->get_custom_db('receiver')->update($receiver_table, $data);
}

A: What you will find is happening is that in all of your Rows, the Strasse fields will be getting set to
Pantherstr, then to Minimalweg then to Blankeneser Weg.
So what you are seeing is the Final Value that is being written to ALL Rows.
I do not see where your Where is. If you want to update a particular row or rows, you need to identify those rows. Else ALL rows will be getting updated each time through your loop.


Proud sponsor and event technology partner of the BEA Catering Awards.
The BEA Catering Awards, with A.S. Technology as a partner, once again a success!
The Benelux Event Awards are the "Oscars" of the events sector as they recognise innovation and originality. This year once again, A.S. Technology made sure guests experienced a perfect service and atmosphere. Together with the organisation, we built this event into one of the highlights of the events sector. The award ceremony took place on April 12, in Antwerp's Kinepolis cinema.
This stylish and memorable evening relied on hidden yet flawless technical coordination. For instance, the BEA Catering Awards were also part of the BEA awards. Some 18 caterers outdid themselves to give the guests and the judges a taste of their cooking skills. Hardly child's play when you know that we had to provide each caterer with a minimum 20,000 W extra power; and that, in terms of current, all temporary kitchens had to operate within strict parameters to ensure the total of 650 kVA for this event would not be exceeded. Certainly quite a challenge on site and within a very tight deadline, considering that power failure during the event was not an option. A.S. Technology gave the event organisers the assurance that the BEA award ceremony would run smoothly. Good planning and flexible coordination are of paramount importance. Despite experiencing capacity problems, A.S. Technology intervened quickly thanks to its expertise and experience in such high-level events. In addition, all aspects were discussed to ensure the right atmosphere would be achieved. Watch how things went in Kinepolis in our video.
With over 30 years of experience at home and abroad, A.S. Technology has positioned itself as a one-stop shop for the practical and technical organisation of memorable events.
As a highly experienced partner, A.S. Technology assists major event organisers. We embedded this experience in the Concept line. A budget-friendly solution for corporate event organisers who are looking for expertise and peace of mind for their in-house fair or other business event. Make the most of our advice and the Concept line to set up an attractive and safe structure for your own show or event.
Do you want to know how A.S. Technology keeps everything well under control on a technical level? Contact us. We will be happy to tell you how we propose to tackle your event as well.

Hospitality Management Has Found A Home at UNH
Academics, Feature, Internships
By Jacob Lehoux
2:22 pm March 4, 2014
Growing up in nearby Portsmouth, I am no stranger to the hospitality industry. Portsmouth is known for its many restaurants, hotels and country clubs. I know just how important it is to have quality service and that you need some good business sense to run a business in hospitality. So how does this relate to the Paul College at UNH? Simple, as an incoming business freshmen we were told that there were three majors we could choose from:
Hospitality Management is my focus today and for some students this major will be their future. Interested to learn more, I spoke with Professor Clayton Barrows, head of the Hospitality Management department. When I asked what made hospitality different from other majors, Professor Barrows responded by saying, "We're tied to an industry – not just to a functional area of business."
He went on to say that graduates go to work anywhere from restaurants, hospitals, hotels and even consulting – anywhere hospitality is needed. Professor Barrows went on to talk about all the courses required for the major.
"The core classes are modeled after the business program but hospitality based," Professor Barrows explained.
He continued on to explain about the specialty classes like food service production and then finished by talking about the "boatload of electives" offered by hospitality management. Characterized as the "fun courses" by Professor Barrows the electives allow students to zero in on what they want to do in hospitality. The electives range from classes like revenue management, beverage and casino management, to private club management. These are among the 13 electives offered by the school and next year there will be 3 specializations offered within the hospitality management major. They also offer smaller class sizes and more one-on-one time with professors than other majors.
Of course the program has always been great – in fact it was just named as one of the top 25 in the country and now they have a school to match. The hospitality suite is a state of the art classroom with an attached kitchen and a multi-purpose classroom. The kitchen is used in the food service production elective and as Professor Barrows stressed to me, "One of the risks is how the public views hospitality — we're preparing managers, not chefs."
The major also requires students to get 800 hours experience in hospitality before they graduate and most students will get those hours during the summer months. To get that experience, students can reach out to the extensive alumni network that is renowned across all majors of the Paul College at UNH.
If you're a prospective hospitality student, you have to be hard working and an extravert! Also, students don't often come into hospitality management knowing exactly what they want to do. Many students change their specializations after taking a new class or learning something new. When I asked Professor Barrows "why hospitality?" his answer was simple, "It's a fun major, the industry continues to grow and UNH gets attention from top notch recruiters."
My overall impression of the hospitality management major was a positive one. Professor Barrows spoke with passion about his department and now with a new school this program is that much better.

Monday, Oct. 16, 2017, 5:30-7:30 p.m.
The Fall 2017 College of Public Affairs Dean's Speaker Series welcomes guest speaker Thomas N. Nichols, professor, author and five-time undefeated Jeopardy! champion. Nichols will discuss his latest book, The Death of Expertise: How Attacks on Established Knowledge Endanger Democracy, which explores the devaluing of knowledge in America.
A question-and-answer session with the audience will follow.
Thomas M. Nichols is a professor of National Security Affairs at the U.S. Naval War College, and a professor at the Harvard Extension School. He is also an adjunct professor in the U.S. Air Force School of Strategic Force Studies.
Before coming to Newport, he taught international relations and Soviet/Russian affairs at Dartmouth College and Georgetown University. In Washington, Dr. Nichols was personal staff for defense and security affairs in the United States Senate to the late Sen. John Heinz of Pennsylvania, and was a Fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, DC. He is currently a Senior Associate of the Carnegie Council on Ethics and International Affairs in New York City. He was also a Fellow in the International Security Program at the John F. Kennedy School at Harvard University.
He is the author of several books and articles, including Eve of Destruction: The Coming of Age of Preventive War (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2008), and No Use: Nuclear Weapons and U.S. National Security (University of Pennsylvania, 2014). His newest book, The Death of Expertise: The Campaign Against Established Knowledge and Why It Matters, was released by Oxford in March 2017, with translations into Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Finnish, Russian, and Italian underway.
Nichols holds a Ph.D. from Georgetown, an M.A. from Columbia University, the Certificate of the Harriman Institute for Advanced Study of the Soviet Union at Columbia, and a B.A. from Boston University.
He is also a five-time undefeated Jeopardy! champion, and was noted in the Jeopardy! Hall of Fame after his 1994 appearances as one of the all-time best players of the game.


A neo-Nazi Holocaust denier who says Israel is pressuring Donald Trump into a new world war is to be the Republican Party's nominee for a congressional seat in Illinois.
Art Jones, who is well-known to Jewish groups like the Anti-Defamation League, became the Republican nominee by default, since the district – which includes Chicago – is so heavily Democrat that no other Republicans chose to contest it.
Last year he was filmed criticising Trump, saying he had "surrounded himself with hordes of Jews, including a Jew in his own family, that punk named Jared Kushner".
In his speech, he said Kushner "knows nothing about foreign affairs, and yet he is going to determine our policy in the Middle East? It's absolutely absurd".
The ADL calls Jones, who celebrates Hitler's birthday, a "long-time neo-Nazi" who has repeatedly sought higher office. In 2016 he was reportedly taken off the ballot in the same district after voter signatures were found to be invalid, however local reporters say he appears to have passed that hurdle this year.

The police cannot fix the broken mental health system, a report from HM Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services has found today.
Police officers are increasingly being used as the service of default in responding to people with mental health problems the watchdog found, and forces tend to underestimate the number of officers sent to mental health incidents.
The report, 'Policing and Mental Health: Picking Up the Pieces', said just two per cent of people surveyed felt it was the police's responsibility to respond to mental health calls, and that 70 per cent said it should be up to health services.
However, response officers in Cheltenham and Gloucestershire have been helped by the Mental Health car, Mr Harrison added.
"Police officers naturally want to respond and do their best to support vulnerable people when they ask for help. And we found that police officers respond to those with mental health problems with care and compassion.
