Q: ParseQueryAdapter for Android doesn't call its onLoaded method I'm trying to customize a ParseQueryAdapter and implement caching. I try to cache results in the onLoaded method of the adapter, but the problem is, neither onLoading nor onLoaded gets called at all as seen in the Logcat. When trying to implement those two methods directly in the actual Activity they do get called, but not when implementing them in this separate adapter class.
This is my code:
public class SongbookAdapter extends ParseQueryAdapter<Song> implements ParseQueryAdapter.OnQueryLoadListener<Song> {

    private static String USERNAME = "username";
    private static String PIN_LABEL_SONGS = "songs";
    public Context context;

    public SongbookAdapter(final Context context, final ParseUser organizer) {
        super(context, new ParseQueryAdapter.QueryFactory<Song>() {
            public ParseQuery<Song> create() {
                ParseQuery<Song> query = ParseQuery.getQuery(Song.class);
                query.whereEqualTo(USERNAME, organizer.get(USERNAME));

                // If internet is down, we query from the cache in the local datastore
                if(!Methods.isOnline(context)) {
                    query.fromPin(PIN_LABEL_SONGS);
                }

                return query;
            }
        });

        this.context = context;

        Log.i("SongbookAdapter", "SongbookAdapter was created");
    }

    @Override
    public View getItemView(Song song, View v, ViewGroup parent) {
        ...
    }

    @Override
    public void onLoading() {
        Log.i("SongbookAdapter", "OnLoading was called");
    }

    @Override
    public void onLoaded(final List<Song> songs, Exception e) {
        Log.i("SongbookAdapter", "OnLoaded was called");
        if(e == null) {
            Log.i("SongbookAdapter", "Loading songs in adapter was successful");
            // If we have internet connection, we cache the results in the local datastore
            if(Methods.isOnline(context)) {
                cacheResults(songs);
            }
        } else {
            // Something went wrong
            Log.e("SongbookAdapter", "Loading songs in adapter failed");
            e.printStackTrace();

Am I missing something? Why don't onLoading and onLoaded get called at all?
Appreciate any help!

A: Found the answer to my question - I had forgotten to add the onQueryLoadListener in the constructor. The correct constructor is therefore:
public SongbookAdapter(final Context context, final ParseUser organizer) {
    super(context, new ParseQueryAdapter.QueryFactory<Song>() {
        public ParseQuery<Song> create() {
            ParseQuery<Song> query = ParseQuery.getQuery(Song.class);
            query.whereEqualTo(USERNAME, organizer.get(USERNAME));

            // If internet is down, we query from the cache in the local datastore
            if(!Methods.isOnline(context)) {
                query.fromPin(PIN_LABEL_SONGS);
            }

            return query;
        }
    });

    this.context = context;

    // This it what I forgot
    addOnQueryLoadListener(this);

    Log.i("SongbookAdapter", "SongbookAdapter was created");
}

The third and final suspect in the Nov. 27 armed robbery of the White Bear Bar pleaded guilty in federal court Thursday of holding up the downtown White Bear Lake watering hole.
Maurice Anthony Lewis, 41, of St. Paul pleaded guilty to one count of interference of commerce by robbery and one count of aiding and abetting the possession of a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence, according to the U.S. attorney's office in Minne-sota.
In his plea, Lewis admitted that he and two other men robbed the bar at gunpoint. Another suspect's gun discharged in a scuffle during the robbery, injuring a patron.
Codefendants Percy David Peters, age and address unknown, and Tyice Alexander Phillips, 33, already pleaded guilty to their roles in the crime.
Lewis faces more than 25 years in prison on the two counts.

'Greedy' Thomas Cook exec slammed over kids' holiday deaths raked in £7.9m bonuses and stayed in five-star Mayfair hotel through week on expenses
- in Usa News
A FORMER Thomas Cook boss who was slammed over her handling of the deaths of two young holidaymakers raked in £7.9 million in bonuses and lived in a five-star hotel on expenses before leaving the doomed firm.
Harriet Green, 57, took home almost £11 million in total pay and faced controversy over an £80,000 yearly hotel and travel bill.
Harriet Green came in for criticism about the handling of the inquests into Christi and Bobby Shepherd
Getty – Contributor
Ms Green – a self professed lover of designer labels and diamonds – was chief executive of Thomas Cook from 2012 to November 2014.
Despite having no experience in the travel industry she famously cold called the chairman of the struggling tour operator Frank Meysman, telling him: "You need me."
She was credited with turning round the ailing firm but her time at the company was marred by a series of controversies over the inquest of Christi and Bobby Shepherd, aged six and seven, who died while on holiday in Corfu in 2006.
The two children died of carbon monoxide poisoning from a faulty hotel boiler while on holiday with Thomas Cook on Corfu.
She was criticised for the way the firm, under her leadership, treated the parents of Bobby and Christi.
Ms Green was branded a "greedy, shameless woman" over her handling of the crisis and was accused of "behaving shamelessly" by the children's mother, Sharon Wood.
They also said Ms Green had refused to meet them.
However a spokeswoman for Ms Green insisted she had been "fully prepared to meet" them and had "enormous sympathy with the family".
They added that she had no direct involvement in the inquest.
When Peter Fankhauser took over and in the wake of a public backlash against the firm, the company finally apologised.
Ms Green later donated a third of a £5.6 million bonus to charities chosen by Bobby and Christi's parents.
FOUR NIGHTS AT MAYFAIR HOTEL
Ms Green was awarded almost £11million in total pay and in 2015 alone, received £6.3 million despite only working for two months of that financial year, largely through share awards.
During her time at Thomas Cook she was on a salary of up to £687,000 a year and was given £7.9million in bonuses.
During her two year tenure, the firm's share price rose from 14p to 140p.
The firm paid about £80,000 a year towards her travel and hotel bills, including staying at plush Brown's hotel four nights a week, before heading to her £2.5 million home in North Oxford at the weekends.
She also has a holiday home in Thailand.
Ms Green is now in a lucrative senior post at US computer giant IBM and was this month named as number five on the HERoes women role model executives list.
'SLEEP IS OVERRATED'
Ms Green is a devotee of Hatha Yoga and a fitness fanatic who enjoys early 5.30am gruelling gym sessions with her former marine personal trainer.
Similarly to Margaret Thatcher, she claims to need just four hours sleep a night.
In an interview with Management Today she said: "I don't sleep much. It's overrated."
Ms Green, who stands at just 5ft 3in, has described her management style as a "landa", a combination of a lion and panda.
Discussing her time at Thomas Cook she said: "The business is not that complex. It is not the nuclear industry. It's travel. How difficult can it be to give people a good holiday?"
'I HAVE THE BEST SHOES'
Born in 1961 in Shipton, Gloucestershire, Ms Green is the eldest of three children and attended state school Westwood's Grammar.
She went on to King's College, London, where she graduated with a BA in Medieval History in 1983, and studied at the London School of Economics.
She began her career working for a magazine, Working Women, before making the move into business herself.
In a previous interview she said she wasn't driven by money but added: "If you are focused on the cause, you will be appropriately rewarded…people are sensitive to greed."
She went on: "I go into schools to get in front of 13 and 14 year-olds and explain why business is a good thing to do. I tell them I have the best shoes and great outfits that I bought myself…I travel the world. It's fun!"
THOMAS COOK COLLAPSE
Up to a million Thomas Cook customers have seen their holidays thrown into chaos by the collapse of the 178-year-old firm. Many are unlikely to receive compensation.
The UK's biggest repatriation since World War Two started yesterday – at an estimated cost of £100 million to the taxpayer – after the firm went bust.
Around 135,000 Brits are waiting to be rescued and brought back to the UK.
About 15,000 holidaymakers were flown home on an estimated 61 flights yesterday.
The company's 21,000 employees, including 9,000 in the UK, have been made redundant.

Boris Johnson criticised the directors of the company for paying themselves large sums before the 178-year-old tour company went "down the tubes".
Business Secretary Andrea Leadsom called for an urgent probe into Thomas Cook chiefs and how the firm came to be liquidated.
Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell went further and said bosses should "absolutely" be forced to hand back bonuses.
Peter Kyle, a Labour member of the business select committee, said: "It's another collapse which shines light on the role of accounting and corporate greed.
"It brings shame to a private sector where the vast majority of people work hard and play by the rules."
Furious passengers also turned on the Thomas Cook fat cat bosses.
Tom Patrick, 69, from Cookstown, Northern Ireland, who was on holiday with his wife Valerie, said: "They ripped the company apart but they'll be home and dry while their employees suffer and thousands of holidays are ruined.
"They shouldn't get a penny of a performance-related bonus, by definition. You can't reward failure on this scale with millions of pounds, it's ridiculous."
Lesley Mance, 29, from Reading, said: "I am furious they were paid so much when they were completely incapable of keeping the company afloat or avoiding this mayhem."

Solskjaer Says Man United Wembley Winner Came Through "Team Selection:"
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer praised the players' defending for their stunning 1-0 win at Tottenham.
A Marcus Rashford goal and string of David De Gea saves saw Manchester United earn a 1-0 win at Wembley to seriously dent Tottenham's title hopes.
We attacked quickly with pace. Obviously, the goal was fantastically taken by Rashford, but you know the defensive job Jesse [Lingard] did and the pass from Paul [Pogba] is half the goal.
The goal is why I put Anthony [Martial] and Rashford wide of Jesse because Jesse is more of a link player and he can drop in whereas Rash and Anthony are more direct towards goal and that is why we put that plan in place and it worked.
We worked on it for a week and we have seen Spurs and we thought that was going to be a good plan and it is good that we have different ways of playing against different teams and I think that we showed that we are ready to compete, especially in the first half when I thought we were excellent.
The second half we could have scored two or three ourselves so it wasn't that one-sided even though they really did put us under pressure. I am happy.
I said to the boys to be proud because they followed the plan to perfection in the first half. We thought they were going to come as they did and it worked a treat.
We defended well as a team. Victor [Lindelof] and Phil [Jones] were excellent at centre-back.
When you play against Harry Kane you will always be tested and when they put Llorente on I thought we defended well with Nemanja [Matic] and Ander [Herrera] in front of them. It was just a complete defensive team performance.
I am going to tell you what I thought: when he came through I was thinking about the near post, hard, high, near post! But it was a fantastically-taken shot.
It is a difficult skill. If it bounces for you then you can hit it on the outside, so you can curl it the other way, but this was as straight as a die. It is a fantastic finish that just shows practice makes perfect, because he has been practicing lately in that position.
When you are 21, playing for Man United, scoring the goals he does, of course you are going to be confident. He has the right to be confident because he is playing at the top of his game at the moment.


Carol: What will kill grapevine and poison ivy? Both are next to impossible to pull.
Doug: Not much. For both I cut them at the ground and keep doing it until they can't keep going anymore. Be careful if you are allergic to poison ivy.
Dianne: I have amaryllis troubles, Doug. I have one I've kept alive four years now, but it's "stuck." Got it for Christmas, got it to bloom late Jan-early Feb. The next year I forgot about it until even later. And later next year. This year I read up on them and decided to try to get it back on track. It spent late spring and summer in front of the house (south facing) and getting periodic doses of plant food. I took it inside and began the benign neglect Sept. 25, then began watering again Dec. 27. Pretty sure it's not dead, but it's still just a green stump of about 2 inches.
Advice? Do you think a shot of Schultz's liquid would jump-start it? Will it simply take more than one year to get it to a Christmas blooming schedule? Also I never took the bare bulb out of the soil. Is that so bad?
Doug: My first advice is to buy another bulb. It's hard to make the older ones bloom consistently and nearly impossible to get them to flower near Christmas. You're doing the right thing with the bulb you have. Keep it on the dry side and watch it. It will start to grow for you. Put it outside again in the spring and feed it periodically and then let it dry out. I treat mine all as houseplants, and they bloom every couple of years when they are ready.
Dee: Last year my tomatoes got eaten alive by fungus at the end of the season. I suspect the huge amount of rain had something to do with it. So I plan to not plant tomatoes this year because of an unusual travel schedule. I won't be around for a few weeks to care for them. Another gardener suggested I put down sheets of clear plastic on my tomato beds for the whole summer. The theory is the sun will heat the ground enough to kill the fungus. But won't the plastic keep the fungus from drying out? Please advise.
Doug: Most gardeners struggled with fungal diseases last season, but not planting tomatoes? That's crazy! I know you won't be around, but they will take care of themselves if planted in the ground. I've added a link that gives you all my tips for fungal-free tomatoes, but even using all of them, if the season is like last year, there's no way around it.
The technique covering the bed with clear plastic is called solarizaton, and it's usually used to combat the worst diseases out there and as a last resort. The process only needs to be about eight weeks long and is done during the hottest months of the summer. It can be effective against the two most prevalent fungus problems, early blight and septoria leaf spot. The problem is the process is probably going to kill beneficial organisms in the soil, too. Those fungal spores are always around and could be imported into the garden on the tomatoes themselves.
If we get a more "normal" season, the tomatoes should be fine, especially if you follow the instructions in the link.
Sherry: Can we grow these in Pittsburgh? They had lots of different color ones at Phipps today.
Doug: I've only grown them indoors. I grow them as a houseplant, but they would be fine as an annual out in the garden. They like full sun and dry soil to be at their best. Very easy and fun to grow.
Rebecca: Do you have recommendations for sill planters? Everything that I find is either too flimsy or leaks (and I could not locate a corresponding catch tray that was long enough to keep the moisture off the wood).
Doug: Check out your local nursery.They should have a faux terra cotta version with a built-in tray. That's what I use.

This deluxe hardcover includes a curated selection of Bob Scott's comic strip Bear with Me, presented for your enjoyment! There will be an introductory essay and never-before-seen art included in this beautiful book!
Molly has real-world problems; Bear has problems with the real world!
It can be tough being a tween. You want to do big things, change the world, and right some wrongs. But you also have to deal with math homework, getting enough sleep and the drama between your dad and pet bear. This is Molly's world.
Being a tween is so much easier when your BFF is an 800 pound bear.
Bear is no ordinary bear. He sheds like a normal bear, he snores like a normal bear, but he is afraid of absolutely everything. Plus, he is allergic to fur. His own. But with Molly holding his paw, he can muddle through.
Bob Scott lives in both the world of comic strips and animation. Born in Detroit, Bob began drawing at a young age, copying what he saw in the funny pages. Acceptance and graduation from California Institute of the Arts opened the world of character animation for Bob. He has worked over 35 years in the industry as an animator, character designer, storyboard artist and voice talent. His credits can be found on projects from Warner Brothers' Bugs Bunny in Box Office Bunny (1990), Turner Animation's Cat's Don't Dance and Pixar's The Incredibles. He has worked for Jim Davis, co-penciling U.S. Acres and co-directing Garfield: His 9 Lives. Bob has always wanted a comic strip of his own, and so Bear with Me (aka Molly and the Bear) was born and became a syndicated webcomic in 2010.

Glynn's first graphic novel, Dethany and the Other Clique. This GN is a light-hearted prequel featuring the strip's most popular character, set in a contemporary middle school.

Bill Holbrook is the creator of the comic strips "On the Fastrack" and "Safe Havens" which are syndicated by King Features.

Every year OWSD selects 5 great women scientists from scientifically-lagging countries to receive an award in front of an international audience at the AAAS ceremony.
Every year OWSD has the privilege of selecting 5 great women scientists from scientifically-lagging countries to receive an award in front of an international audience at the American Association for the Advancment of Science (AAAS). The awards have been generously sponsored by The Elsevier Foundation (EF) since 2011. In that first year 12 women working in all areas of science received their awards at regional events. But working closely together with EF and our partners, The World Academy of Science (TWAS), we soon realised that the awards needed to be more focused in order to increase visibility both for the awardees and for their countries and regions. Since 2012, the awards have been to only 5 women (one from each of 5 regions in the developing world) and there has been a disciplinary focus each year. This year, for example, the awards are in Biological Sciences, next year they will be in Engineering Sciences, including engineering, innovation and technology. If you know a great woman scientist working in these fields please nominate them (the deadline is 15 September 2016: guidelines for eligibility and a form are available here).
Each year too we have been able to increase the international reach of these awards, thanks to the generous offer from AAAS to host the awards ceremony. Indeed, as well as the traditional breakfast awards event hosted by Shirley Malcom (head of education and human resources programs at AAAS) this year's AAAS President Geraldine Richmond took valuable time out from her conference duties to discuss research issues with the awardees and included a warm reference to them in her inaugural presentation to well over 1,000 international participants. For the last three years also, private donors Gil Omen (past president of AAAS) and Martha Darling have supplemented the USD5,000 award money given by The Elsevier Foundation with a further USD2,500 per awardee to spend on research resources of their choice.
The AAAS conference takes place at a different American city each year and EF covers the costs of travel and accommodation for the awardees to spend the week there, attending appropriate conference sesssions as well as rehearsing their presentations and undertaking media training. This year in Washington D.C. we were able to really take advantage of the location and the awardees presented their research and achievements to the Global Women's Issues section of the U.S. State department as well as to each of the embassies of the awardees' home countries: Indonesia, Nepal, Peru, Uganda and Yemen. The resulting media coverage has been spectacular, with interviews appearing in U.S. News, on national U.S. radio (NPR), on the front page of national newspaperd in Indonesia and Uganda and on BBC television in Kampala and London. More requests for interviews with the awardees are coming in every day.
You can read about the moving personal stories of each of this year's winners in a great article by Alison Bert at Elsevier Connect.
This year, too, we were able to bring Italian film maker Nicole Leghissa to Washington to film the awardees as they attended workshops and began to network with potential collaborators, donors and journalists. This is the second year and second wonderful film Nicole has made of the awardees' experiences at the awards ceremony and she has really become an expert in working closely with the women to draw out their stories: the challenges but mostly great satisfactions of their choices to become scientists in countries that are extremely poor and have few resources for doing advanced research. Please watch the film and share the link with your friends!
OWSD is very proud to be part of these achievements and we wish the women the very best in their future careers and hope they will continue to be ambassadors for their countries and for women in science more generally.

Q: Format issues while conversing True/False values from MS Access through Excel to Service-Now I'm using a MS Access query to import records from SCCM to Service-Now (which is called CMDB in my Access database) through an Excel file. I have to set the Active field in Service-Now to 'TRUE'. There is an Active field in the CMDB extract inside the Access database, called CMDB.Active. I would like to set the value of this field to always 'TRUE' regardless of the existing value (I don't always import records, sometimes update them based on the last usage).
In order to set CMDB.Active always to TRUE, I converted the field to a calculated field: '"TRUE" AS Active'. In Design View and also when I export the query, it is displayed as TRUE, however, when I upload the Excel loading sheet to Service-Now, the format of the Active field is not recognized somehow and the Active field is left as FALSE after uploading the loading sheet.
However, when I don't convert the Active.CMDB field to a calculated field, but manually change the FALSE values in the Excel loading sheet from FALSE or empty to TRUE, then Service-Now recognizes the format.
I tried to change the format of the Active field to True\False, but it didn't help. When the Excel loading sheet contained 'True' as value, Service-Now didn't accept it, because it requires 'TRUE'. Maybe I was using the Format function in the wrong way?

A: You pass a string, "TRUE", not the symbol for True, so try to pass:
True AS Active

If that still doesn't work as intended, use the numeric value -1 (or 1).

Dictionary of Islamic Philosophical Terms by Elvusal Mammadov has been published
Dictionary of Islamic Philosophical Terms by Elvusal Mammadov, Associate Professor of the Department of Languages and Social Sciences at Azerbaijan İnstitute of Theology (AIT), has been published.
The dictionary introduces some of the terms developed by Muslim philosophers and the Arabic names of Greek and Roman philosophers mentioned in classical Muslim philosophical works. Overall, the dictionary includes the explanation of 443 words.
Besides the translation of medieval Muslim philosophical, logical, metaphysical psychological and astronomical terms, the book also introduces the explanation of them.
The terms are arranged according to the Arabic alphabet. The book aims to provide readers with the translation of the terms found in Arabic texts. The term is spelled in Arabic and followed by its transcription in parentheses, the Azerbaijani equivalent, the phoneme transliteration of the Arabic version in accordance with the rules of orthography of our language, the literal meaning and finally the explanation.
An index-list of terms in Azerbaijani has been compiled at the end of the book to make the dictionary comprehensible for the Azerbaijani-speaking reader. According to this index-list, the reader can find any word or term in the dictionary and get the necessary information.
We believe that the dictionary will be useful not only for Muslim philosophy, but also for theologians, Islamic scholars and theologians.

By Mervet Abduldayim KUWAIT, Sept 24 (KUNA) -- The "Kuwait in 400 Years" book, to be released by Sheikha Intisar Salem Al-Ali Al-Sabah's Lulua Publishing, contains more than 1,320 documents and photos revealed for the first time both Arabic and English.
The book's white-colored cover displays the photos of Kuwait's leaders in the past 400 years.
The introduction pages is filled with what resembles the national spirit and long lasting relation of the Kuwaiti people and their land, said Sheikha Intisar to KUNA, adding that nations are not just defined by borders, but with passion and feelings.
Sheikha Intisar pointed out that this idea of the book came about six years ago, adding that she wanted to publish a book that would provide a more definitive history of the country.
Throughout her readings in Kuwait's history and discussions, she found out that many Kuwaitis from the younger generation were unfamiliar with the country's history despite the availability of numerous books and publications.
The book took more than five years of research to put it together, looking into the most prominent photos and documents along with a number of editorial reviews of the text and history by experts to end with a final draft.
Sheika Intisar revealed that she visited various ministries and institutions along with public and private libraries to document and gather materials for the book. Dr. Hamad Al-Qahtani reviewed the book after the process of citation and referencing.
Sheikha Intisar said she was looking forward to distribute the book to Kuwaiti embassies and diplomatic missions around the globe, adding that there were plans to publish the book in both French and Spanish as requested by the Ministry of Information.

New World Record: Scientists Certify Monster Atlantic Wave 62 Feet Tall
World | © 2016 The Washington Post | Jason Samenow, The Washington Post | Updated: December 15, 2016 08:22 IST
Enormous waves crash into the Cornish coast , during one of the most brutal storms for the UK.
Can you imagine coming face-to-face with a wave six stories tall?
In February 2013, a buoy in the North Atlantic measured a towering 62-foot (19 meters) wave between Iceland and the United Kingdom.
In an announcement Tuesday, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) concluded it was "the highest significant wave height" ever recorded by a buoy, surpassing the previous highest wave, measured at 59.96 feet in December 2007, also in the North Atlantic.
The giant wave formed in the wake of a powerful cold front charging across the Atlantic. Winds gusted to 50 mph.
"This is the first time we have ever measured a wave of 19 meters. It is a remarkable record," said Wenjian Zhang, assistant secretary general of the WMO.
Wave height is defined as the distance between crest (or top) of one wave and the trough (or bottom) of the next.
The WMO explained the world's biggest waves typically occur in the North Atlantic in winter as storms explosively intensify. "The area from the Grand Banks underwater plateaus off the Canadian coast around Newfoundland to south of Iceland and to the west coast of the UK, including the Rockall Trough, are prime candidates for wave records," it said.
USA Today reported that larger waves have probably occurred than this 62-foot behemoth, but they have not been measured.
It's also worth noting that this new record for "significant wave height" reflects the average height in a series of large waves.
Individual "rogue" waves, which are difficult to accurately measure, can be much higher. For example, during the October 1991 "Perfect Storm" off the East Coast of North America, a buoy 264 miles south-southeast of Halifax, Canada reported a peak wave height of 100 feet, according to Environment Canada.
The record for the highest wave ever surfed is a massive 78 feet (23 meters) at Nazare, Portugal, according to CNN.
The lag between the WMO announcement of the record wave and its occurrence on Feb. 4, 2013, resulted from the time needed to analyze and verify the data.

Q: Vue.js / Nuxt App that serves up django pages This is more of a general but very specific question as it pertains to a large, preexisting ecommerce site so I'll do my best to be as specific and succinct as possible...
I have a monolithic Django App that currently uses Django Templates as its frontend layer. Everything has been fine tuned down to the last pixel to extract as much SEO value out of the current setup.
The company now wants to move to a Vue.js FE, however they want to do this process piecemeal, and NOT do the whole SPA in one go.
This brings up the following challenge:
I understand that with these new vue/react libraries, when seo web crawlers crawl the page, the js code needs to be "pre-rendered" in order to see what's actually on the page. And because we are revamping a lot of widgets that have to do with products, their names, their prices, etc. i fear that we are going to lose some very relevant data that have to do with keeping our SEO score high.
That being said, I'm wondering if it's at all possible to create a Nuxt app, and then wrap some of the django template pages inside of this nuxt app, while other parts are written in vue.
For example, the product-list-page would be written as a collection of Vue components, but the about page, would render the /about/ view from the django app, and output the resulting HTML inside of a  (just thinking out loud here.)
This way i can server side render the entire app, without literally rewriting each page into a Vue component.
Is anything like this remotely possible? Or is there a better alternative?
