Q: How to create a robust pattern to add dynamic and generic components to JSF 2 I have a webapp which is highly parametrable and dynamic. I use JSF 2 with Mojarra 2.1.19 and Primefaces 3.5.
By component I mean a high level component: A backbean associated to a xhtml file. The backed bean inside the xhtml template has always the EL name "comp".
The features I have implemented are the following :

*

*I have a container component (a tab, a panel..), and I want to be able to render any components inside it. The container is fed dynamicly through user actions and configuration files with no way to predict which and how many components will contain the container.

*A component "A" can refresh a component "B" whatever is position in the components tree and without hard coupling. Component "A" do not know component "B", component "A" only knows that it needs to refresh the feature implemented by component "B".

With the component pattern I can construct high level application with a components tree. I actually use the c:forEach pattern to dynamicly adds component :
<c:forEach items="#{comp.values}" var="value">
    <ui:include src="#{value.uri}">
        <ui:param name="comp" value="#{value}"/>
    </ui:include>
</c:forEach>

I use generic channel message to link components. To refresh I use binding
I have read that all the following patterns can create inconsistent state and throw the feared duplicate Id exception :

*

*c:forEach

*binding on session

*adding component through java

I always have the feeling of walking on a minefield. Now I'm stuck with a nasty duplicate id error.
Is there a way to create a robust pattern to add dynamic and generic components to JSF 2 ?
Thanks for your answer!

A: Ensure that you aren't binding physically different components to one and same bean property across the view scope. The binding attribute must point a request scoped property and absolutely not be shared across physically different components during the view scope, even though it's used by at most one component at the same time.
The problem "binding on session" is only applicable if you bind an unique component to a session scoped bean property, but open the same view multiple times in different browser tabs/windows in the same session.

The WEAR Sustain project is a 3M euro Innovation action which aims to develop a sustainable European network of stakeholders and hubs, to connect and push the boundaries in the design and development of wearables. Following a rigorous selection process, an international jury has selected 46 teams in two open calls to develop their prototypes and bring them closer to market during a six month incubation period with funding from the WEAR Sustain project (50K euro per team) and support from the WEAR Sustain network of mentors, hubs and other organisations.
The objective of the proposed session is to demonstrate the potential of arts and technology collaboration to create new sustainable products and help teams take their projects to market. This would be done by supporting some of the best WEAR teams that have been funded to capitalize on their success so far, by pitching to and networking with potential corporate partners, investors and business angels. The session agenda, WEAR Sustain teams pitching (with information about each of them), and the international Jury are listed in the attached PDF file.

The Code Bubbles project looks like an incredibly cool way to edit code. Rather than have to navigate through an editor, it groups code elements into bubbles. There is much more to it than that but the general idea of better grouping programming language constructs in the IDE seems like a good idea to me.
After watching the demo, I can see a nice UML integration point for Code Bubbles.


I am a mom. And I am a daughter.
When I was watching my body swell with the miracle of my firstborn three decades or so ago, I knew I wanted to do some things differently with my children than my own mother had.
Something inside of me needed to prove to all the watching world that I was not my mom. That I was me. And that in being me I could be a better mother than mine had been.
Because, you see, in rejecting so much of my mom I gave my children just me. And I wasn't enough for them. I didn't have all that they needed. And I made so many mistakes in the process of trying to prove something that wasn't right.
And to be honest with you, I hurt my mom by failing to value who she was.
The truth I see now is that my mom is an amazing woman. Her own mother was nice and sweet and gentle and not very involved in her life. They didn't talk about important things, she never said no or be careful or maybe you shouldn't go there or do that. And that messed my mom up a bit.
And so my mom determined to raise us differently. She talked to me. Told me things I didn't want to hear, warning her head-in-the-clouds daughter that life is not a fairy tale and I'd better watch out.
And she did stuff with us. She was the den mother and the chaperone and the driver of the car on trips to the beach. Everybody hung out at our house because she always had homemade cookies and enough food to feed the crowd. And she was fun.
And now you're wondering what in the world I would reject about that?
I would saved all of us a whole lot of trouble if I'd simply made a few adjustments to allow myself to be me while still listening to mom.
My mother and I are friends now. Two women on polar opposite ends of the personality spectrum, we work hard to get along, to value each other, to give each other space to be who we are. It's not always easy and it doesn't always work as well as we'd like, but we're trying.
I've put together a list of things I have discovered in this process of becoming friends with my mother that I hope will help you with yours.
I realize that there are some really mean and hurtful mothers out there who have caused immense pain. And I know that some of you will never be able to actually call your mom your friend.
But we can all try, can't we?
And we can all take responsibility for our own responses.
You can be gracious and lovely and strong and nice back. No one can take that away from you.
This is what I failed to do for a long time. Instead of loving who she was, I poked and critiqued and compared.
When I finally began to let her be who she is, I began to see how great she really is and has been all along. She is incredibly organized and disciplined and smart and giving and open and fun. I really like her- imagine that!
Holding a grudge against your mother is pointless and harmful and unwise and unproductive. You saw her at her worst. And your kids will see enough of you in their lifetimes to figure out everything wrong with you too. Set yourself free from all that pain she caused you before you end up dumping it all over your own children.
Be honest with yourself about what she did wrong. Then choose differently. You don't have to make a show about it like I did all those years ago. In fact, I'm inviting my daughters a little further into my story to allow them to build on my mistakes. There are things I'd do differently if I had a chance and I'm talking about some of those things with my girls.
A little humbling? Yeah, but amazingly liberating at the same time.
It's so easy to criticize your mom. To take potshots at her way of doing everything from laundry to love. What if instead we decided to start listing every memory we have that we're grateful for? What if we stopped comparing her to The Perfect Mom and chose to value her instead?
Every mother lives with a certain amount of shame. We remember every time we yelled, or were cross, or didn't do enough. Some mothers harden up to put that pain into an untouchable vault, denying any wrongdoing ever. Others get all needy, sucking their children of every last vestige of affirmation available.
When my children point out something they value about me I hold those words close inside and relish every syllable. Its not thanks we need so much as recognition of who we are as women. And it's my own children who have uncovered this need. They are generous with their words to me. And it's making me see that I've been stingy with my mom.
My advice to any daughter considering such a step would be to seek out godly counsel before going there. We're such emotionally intense creatures- especially when it comes to relationships, that we would be wise to allow someone else to weigh in on our plan. After all, mothers get their hearts hurt too and most of the bad stuff can really be overlooked.
May this One who craves connection with us clear the way for you to have close and loving connection with your own mothers and daughters and sons in the year to come.
And may He give you the courage to do the hard work of learning how.

Why Should You Consider Living In Chile?
As we walked along a quiet tree-lined street, looking in shop windows, I happened to stick my head through an open double-door to take a peek at the interior courtyard behind a storefront. In this small Santiago neighborhood, these interior courtyards are often home to hidden treasures… like a small cafe or restaurant or a boutique or shop.
In this case, I found eight cafe tables under large umbrellas, positioned on the lush, green grass in the brilliant summer sunshine. One table for two looked inviting, so we stopped in for a late lunch.
If you've checked into Santiago but have never heard of Barrio Italia, don't feel bad; it's not even in the latest Lonely Planet guidebook. It's a small, local neighborhood in the southwest part of Providencia, a sector that lies east of Santiago Centro. Barrio Italia was originally a center for furniture-makers, and quite a few still ply that trade here today.
Otherwise, this is a quiet area of antique shops, sidewalk cafes, restaurants, and coffee and pastry shops, along with a handful of clothing boutiques and art galleries.
Barrio Italia is popular among local residents, but it's not one of the recognized tourist locations, even though it's fairly convenient to Centro and easily accessible via modern public transit, with a couple of Metro stops nearby.
Chile is a First World alternative in Latin America, with Latin America's highest standard of living. In fact, throughout the Americas, only the United States and Canada rate higher for overall standard of living. The water is drinkable, phone and Internet are fast and reliable, and the public transit system is modern and efficient. The highways are modern, fast, and well-maintained.
In addition, here's a telling event that should get your attention. Chile is now part of the U.S. Visa Waiver Program. Since May 1, 2014, Chileans can enter the United States without a visa… just like people from England, Denmark, or Japan.
To me, this is a big deal. It means that, in the eyes of the immigrant-shy U.S. government, the country of Chile is strong and economically successful. In other words, it is a country that offers its people enough opportunity so that they have no need to want to try to stay on in the United States to eke out a living illegally.
Indeed, since the inception of the Startup Chile program, many sharp, young Americans have come to Chile to take advantage of the opportunities in this country.
Chile has an honest culture, with low levels of public corruption. In the Americas, Chile is in the "Clean" category along with Uruguay, Barbados, and the United States, according to Transparency International's 2014 study. (Only Canada made the "Very Clean" category in the Americas.) And, make no mistake, corruption affects your life as an expat. Corrupt countries aren't just politically corrupt; they are also where you're more likely to be short-changed, have your pocket picked, or be cheated in a business deal.
Chile has amazing geographic diversity. It runs 2,650 miles from north to south and offers an astonishing array of climates and geographic settings in between. From seaside resorts to small beach villages… from mountains, lakes, and wildlife of the Lake District (including wintertime skiing) to the sophisticated scene in Santiago… it would be hard to imagine a lifestyle that you can't find in Chile. Further, if you'd like to live abroad in a place where there are four seasons, this is one of your few options.
For information on coastal options, follow the link to read my report on Viña del Mar or this one on Valparaíso.
And 23% higher in Montevideo, Uruguay.
And 66% more to live in Vancouver, British Columbia.
That said, as you may suspect, it costs less to live in Medellín, Colombia; Quito, Ecuador; or Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, to name a few.
Residency is easy in Chile, and it includes a path to citizenship. You can apply by mail, and there's no background check required for U.S. or Canadian citizens. Citizenship requires five years' residency, a simple application, and no test.
Chile makes a convincing case on paper, checking lots of boxes. But the real reason to be here is the lifestyle.
From my apartment in Santiago's Providencia sector (near the north end of Barrio Italia, mentioned above), I can walk to everything I need. The supermarket is just over two blocks away. The metro station is four blocks away, giving me access to the entire metropolitan area in minutes. Modern buses run past the end of my block, and taxis are inexpensive and plentiful. The flag drops at less than 50 cents, at today's exchange rates.
A dozen fine-dining options lie within a 10-minute walk, interspersed among small cafes, galleries, and boutiques. We've got a brand-new, five-story mall nearby, as well as hundreds of mom-and-pop groceries and shops.
The summertime weather is awesome, with warm sunny days and cool nights. I can't think of a better place to ride out the North American winter.
And, with the huge advantage of the U.S. dollar's current exchange advantage, this is also a fairly inexpensive place to ride out winter.

A town of delights
The town of Cahors, in the Lot department in south-west France is truly a town of many delights. There is so much to see and do here that you are really spoiled for choice as to where to go first, and if you have only a short time to spend in the town you are bound to miss out on something! Cahors has a mediaeval city, a Gallo Roman section, an important cathedral, an elegant Boulevard and a busy modern section equipped with superb shopping, restaurants and leisure facilities. Add to this the excellent wines and gastronomic products which hail from the town and you have a recipe for success that is hard to equal, even in France!
Towns within towns…
Cahors is made up of several different sections, dating from different periods of its history, each with its own distinctive character and style. There is so much to see that it is beyond the scope of a brief guide to mention them all, but as a taster, try the Arc de Diane in the Gallo Roman town, the Boulevard Gambetta on the edge of the modern city, the Cathedral of St Etienne, the mediaeval ramparts and the piece de resistance, the Valentré Bridge, otherwise known as the Devil's Bridge.
A pact with the Devil!
The architect who designed the Bridge of Valentré is said to have had a somewhat unusual assistant… the Devil himself! Legend has it that the bridge was proving difficult to finish so the architect, in desperation, turned to the Devil for help. He made a pact that the Devil would receive his soul on completion of the bridge, and the Devil, in return, would do everything that the architect asked of him, following his instructions to the letter, in order to complete the bridge. As completion drew near, the architect, fearing for his soul, devised a cunning plan to cheat the Devil out of his reward. He gave the Devil a sieve, and told him that the water necessary for mixing the mortar for the final stages of construction, in the north-east sector, must be collected and carried from the river in the sieve. Of course, the Devil was unable to complete this task, so the bridge remained unfinished and the architect's soul was safe.
Twist to the tale
There is a twist to the tale, however, in that the Devil then cursed the bridge, and it has proved impossible for subsequent builders to finish that particular north-east section, as it continually collapses. The bridge today is an object of beauty and fascination, and not just because of its legend. In summer, it is possible to take an atmospheric candle-lit trip to view the bridge at night, and this is highly recommended.
In the modern town
The modern town, which is bordered by the elegant Boulevard Gambetta, has much to offer. The choice of restaurants is nothing short of superb, with everything from the finest of French dining experiences through to snack bars, pizzerias, Chinese restaurants and even Spanish cuisine. The shopping is excellent too, and to add to this there is a host of other leisure activities to help to keep your interest. Cahors has libraries, theatres, cinemas… and all the usual necessary amenities such as banks, schools, supermarkets and post offices. There are also a variety of regular and special occasion markets and fairs held in the town.
If you wish to explore a little further afield, there is plenty to do and see here too. Cahors is not too far away from the great cultural centres of Toulouse and Bordeaux, and there is enough in those two great cities to keep anybody busy for a day or two! Sporting opportunities here abound, as within easy reach of the town you can play golf, go fishing, try horse-riding, cycling, rock climbing, tennis… the list is endless. The countryside of the Lot is beautiful and unspoiled, so you may simply wish to take some time out to drive and gaze.
Wine outlets
It is also well worth going to some of the "direct vente" wine outlets, where the wine is sold from the place it is produced. Cahors wine is perhaps one of France's best kept secrets, less known and less expensive than the wines of its neighbour Bordeaux, but absolutely superb in quality. Cahors red wine is so dark it is almost inky black in appearance in the bottle, and this gives some indication of the richness of the flavour and texture.
You can reach Cahors by air by flying to Bergerac with Ryanair or flybe, the budget airlines. The other possibilities include flying to Toulouse or to Bordeaux. Toulouse and Bordeaux are both served by British Airways, bmibaby, easyJet, flybe and bmi, while Bordeaux is also served by Aer Lingus. Rail travel involves beginning your journey with Eurostar from London to Paris, then taking a TGV from Paris to Toulouse, and finally taking a local train to Cahors itself. If you are driving, the town is located off the A20 autoroute.
Property prices and availability in and around Cahors
Property prices in Cahors reflect the popularity of the area, and do tend to be above average for France. This can be offset, however, by a strong rental market, meaning that your property can earn you money when you are not using it yourself. Cahors offers many types and sizes of property, and the lovely countryside of the Lot has some superb farmhouses available.
Do you know Cahors better than we do? Do you have photos of Cahors?

Joe Turley has finally been given the news he has been waiting for since last December.
The Evesham United midfielder has received the all clear from his surgeon to return to full training after an operation in February to reconstruct his anterior cruciate ligament.
He suffered the dreaded injury in a midweek match at Didcot Town, who Evesham play at home on Saturday, twisting awkwardly as he tried to hook the ball away with his studs caught in the ground.
"I knew straight away it was serious because of the sound it made," Turley said.
"I can remember it so clearly and I know a few players there said they heard it too.
"There wasn't too much swelling immediately afterwards, but the next day it really ballooned up which was also a telling sign."
Turley was initially told by the A&E department and his GP that there was no major damage, but he pushed for an MRI scan, which revealed his ACL had been ruptured.
"If I hadn't kept pushing for an MRI it would have probably been an even longer process because nobody initially thought there was too much wrong," he said.
Turley was told it would be nine to 12 months before he would be back in action after going under the knife.
"By the time I'm actually playing again I'm hoping it will be about nine months," he said.
Who won Cheltenham Town's penalty competition to earn right to take next spot kick?
"Although all the rehab has gone as well as it can and my physio has said I may be able to go back slightly earlier than nine months I've been cautious of trying to rush it so I'm happy with the timescale of it all.
"The recovery has obviously been a long and sometimes tedious process, but iin the early stages I wasn't even thinking about the long term of trying to play again, I was just focusing on being able to walk again and getting some motion back in my knee.
"In that stage i could see progress pretty much every day. The latter stages have definitely been more frustrating, when I've been able to walk and run for what seems like an age but I still can't play."
Now he has the green light to go back into full contact training, he knows the end of a long road back to fitness is within sight.
"It was such a relief to get the all clear," he said. "I've been training for a while with the rest of the team and just been avoiding contact but seeing the surgeon and hearing what he said has given me the confidence to step up the final stages of the recovery."
Turley started his career as a youth team player at Cheltenham Town, before spells with Mangotsfield United, Bishop's Cleeve and Cinderford Town. He is now working for the family business, Forest of Dean Caravans.
He said he was grateful for the support shown to him by Evesham during his long absence, with defender Liam Harding also on his way back from knee surgery.
"I'm still a few weeks away from returning for the first team, I just want to step up into full training over the next week or two and see how i react," Turley said.
"Colly (manager Paul Collicutt) and Gerry (Oldham, assistant manager) have been great throughout the process and they've both stressed to me that they aren't going to pressure me into returning before I feel ready.
"Once I feel 100 per cent I'll probably have to sit down with them and discuss how to ease myself back into it, whether that be with the Under-23s, getting some minutes elsewhere or just a few substitute appearances.
"As long as I'm happy with how it's feeling then really it's down to them as to when they want me back in the team.
"As frustrating as it's been being on the sidelines, it's given me a chance to get to know a lot of the fans and people involved off the field around the club.
"They've all been really supportive of me throughout which I'm thankful for and has shown me the amount of effort they put in to supporting the team and the club."
Turley, who turns 24 on Sunday, says it will be a special feeling to finally be back in action for Evesham, who are bidding to win promotion to the Southern League Premier Division after missing out in the play-offs last season.
"'ve been to almost every game since the injury and watching from the sidelines has been tough, especially the end of last season," he said.
"Obviously everyone involved with the club feels we've got a bit of a point to prove this year and I've felt pretty helpless in terms of that so far, so I can't wait to get back in and try to help the team out."

When I gave a brief overview of my chess study plan I said that the cornerstone of the plan is endgame study. Every day where I have a time block allocated to study chess, I use at least some of that time for endgame study.
There are many arguments against this approach. These include that it would make more sense to start with opening study, since every game has an opening, while not every game has an endgame. Surely you need to get through the opening and the middle game before your endgame skill is of any use. If you prioritise endgame study at the cost of the opening, then you may be crushed before you can show your skill with triangulation, the Lucena position, or two bishops versus bishop and knight.
So why do I choose to study the endgame at the cost of opening study? The reality is that many club chess players, and this means players up to around and Elo rating of 2000 or 2100, often play irregular lines. Weak players do so because they probably don't know better – that was and mostly continues to be the case for me. Strong players often do so against weaker players, I suspect to negate any basic book knowledge the weaker player may have; to make them uncomfortable early on. In a recent league game where I played White against a player rated 1802 – I was rated 1435 – the opening moves were 1. d4 Nf6 2. Nf3 h6 3. e3 g5 4. Bd3 g4.
An online opening database with about 3.2 million games shows 1. …Nf6 is the most popular reply to 1. d4, while 2. …h6 is the twelfth most popular move for games that started 1. d4 Nf6 2. e3 …, having been played only 24 times in around 320,000 games! Apparently 3. c4 was more accurate for me after that, but the point is that, if I was relying on specific openings rather than opening principles and positions, I would have been stumped after move 2. As it turned out, the weaknesses he created on the kingside with those early thrusts cost him, as he provided me with my best win to date! So you may spend hundreds or thousands of hours memorising all sorts of variations of your chosen opening, for your opponent to go out of book by move 2. Then what?
"… (you) should start with the endgame instead of the opening. Studying positions of reduced complexity you can gain an early understanding of certain deep principles that would be impossible to feel in complex middlegame positions. Then, once we understand the principle, we can apply it to much more complex positions".
I feel there is also a logical argument in favour of the 'endgame first' approach. When you know which endgame positions win, draw and lose, you can aim for desired positions. As a simple example, if you are down two pawns to one and can force a pawn exchange that leads to your opponent having a rook pawn rather than a non-rook pawn, and your king can get to the key squares in time, you can force a draw. Without endgame knowledge you may not have known to play for this position.
There is an argument that the simpler positions in endgames teaches you how to calculate more accurately.
There is also the solving argument. Endgame tables prove that chess is solved for around 6 or 7 pieces. Of course it is too much information to use in reality, but the principle is that if you work back from known (solved) positions, then you know what you are aiming for. If you had to solve tic-tac-toe, you would start with one tic to be made to win (the endgame), then work back from there to determine which tics in different positions get you to that known (solved) position.
Finally, although endgame study is my priority, that does not mean that I entirely neglect other aspects of the game. I do study the opening, but within very tight constraints and with the aim of getting to familiar positions in the middle game, rather than to eke out a 0.1 pawn advantage with some obscure variation. I also study tactics (this is my second priority after the endgame) and strategy (more passively and to a limited amount). More on these other aspects of the game later.
Those are some of the reasons I believe endgame study should take priority. Now to what I do with my endgame study time. Virtually all of it is studying with a book and playing the positions out over a real chessboard until I understand the concept. My books of choice are Silman's Complete Endgame Course: From Beginner to Master , three books by John Nunn – Understanding Chess Endgames (read my review here), Nunn's Chess Endings Volume 1 and Nunn's Chess Endings Volume 2 – and Mark Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual . Silman's book is divided by playing strength. I have worked through the sections up to 1799 USCF. The reasons I stopped there are that it was one section above the grading group I am currently in, and I thought Nunn's Understanding Chess Endings would be a good bridge between Silman's more elementary work and more advanced studies. I am about 10 (of 100) topics into Nunn's Understanding Chess Endgames. When I complete that, I plan to return to the later chapters of Silman's course, before tackling Nunn's two more advanced books. I plan to round off this initial endgame study phase with Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual. These books are likely to keep me occupied for somewhere between eighteen months and two years. There are other books which I plan to study after that, but that is for later. In addition to the book study, I do the two endgame positions Chess Tempo allows me to do for free every day.
In the next post I'll talk about the second priority in my chess study plan, tactics.
Hi these are good books, i am not fan of silman but dvoretsky and nunn are clear favorites of mine. But looking to manuals is not the things worked for me. They are better than nothing for reading, and learned great deal from books describing the technique. But for real learning you should also solve, analyze, calculate, think (participate) The things i can offer for more smooth learning the endgame is calculate position before trying to learn it (some books like secrets of pawn endings have puzzles after each chapter, or Nunn's endgame challenge have 250 good endgame questions deep, hard but solvable). Also playing games (reaches endgame phase) helps and shows lots of things you think you have learned but you didnt. In my experience i even learned great deal about endgame in my blitz games (both me and my opponents in last seconds, i desperately use 5 seconds of my last 10 to make a plan and play it fast as possible) sometimes in pressure i played great endgames i couldnt find in my leisure and playing fast games have drawbacks for sure but some pluses as well.
Hi Kaan. Thank you for your comments and advice, and good luck with your own journey too.
I like your choices of books. I would probably add a couple: "Practical Chess Endings" by Keres, "100 Endgames You Must Know" by de la Villa, and "Basic Chess Endings" by Fine. I love Silman's course.
One thing I am surprised you didn't mention is that studying endgames teaches piece coordination. I've been asked how I was able to beat a 2100-level chess player (Pittsburgh Chess Club Champion, Daniel Gordon [see my USCF statistics]) with three pieces against a queen as only a 1600-level player. I think it has to do with my ability to coordinate pieces, which I developed from my endgames study. That's why the Russians said the Russian Chess School began with endings, anyways.
Nice program. Keep up the good work.
Piece coordination is indeed there. In fact, GM Davies has recently started an endgame series on his Tiger Chess site, posting a couple of endgame videos every week, and that was one of the reasons he also recommends prioritising the endgame.
Yes the endgame is so important , look to carslsen games , he beat al the strongest players in the endgame , he is so good in the endgame , he plays the endgame fantastic.
Kasparov maybe the best opening player ever , kasparov is no great endgame player.
kramnik in world champion match he did beat kasparov , in the endgame , he outplayed kasparov in the endgame.

Q: GridView builder inside a ListView does not lazy load As the title says, I need to use a GridView.builder() inside a ListView, and that works fine, but the problem I am facing is that the GridView needs to hold a lot of data, and for some reason, using the GridView inside the ListView does not lazy load only the data that the user can see, but builds the full grid.
I do want to mention that using the Gridview code outside the listview loads the data as expected
Also the listview seems to be working fine, as if the grid is not yet in View, it will only load the grid when needed, but once the grid is triggered, then the full grid is build from 1 go. So it seems my grid view is not lazy loading the data.
Example code:
 ListView(
     children: <Widget>[
        buildGridView1(),
        buildGridView2(),
     ],
 )

and the method that builds the GridView is something like this:
child: ValueListenableBuilder(
    builder: (BuildContext context, List<MyObject>? myList,
        Widget? child) {
     return GridView.builder(
                  itemCount: myList.length,
                  primary: false,
                  shrinkWrap: true,
                  physics: ScrollPhysics(),
                  gridDelegate: SliverGridDelegateWithMaxCrossAxisExtent(
                    childAspectRatio: uiConfig.getPosterAspectRatio(2 / 3.5),
                    maxCrossAxisExtent: uiConfig.getPosterSize(),
                    crossAxisSpacing: 5,
                    mainAxisSpacing: 10,
                  ),
                  itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
                    final item = myList[index];
                    return CustomWidget(item);
                  },
                );
    },
    valueListenable: xyz,
  )

I know a SliverList would have probably been more appropriate, but with SliverList I can't build a sliver to be refreshed automatically as I do here with wrapping the Grid in a ValueListenableBuilder.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.

A: I recently encounter this issue and resolve it by using Sliver Widget.
I can show a example how it lazy load with the network image.
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      home: Scaffold(
        body: SliverGridInList(
          myUrlList: List.generate(50, (index) {
            return 'https://picsum.photos/${1080 + index}';
          }),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

class SliverGridInList extends StatelessWidget {
  const SliverGridInList({
    required this.myUrlList,
    Key? key,
  }) : super(key: key);

  final List<String> myUrlList;

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return CustomScrollView(
      slivers: [
        const SliverToBoxAdapter(
          child: Text('Title', style: TextStyle(fontSize: 30)),
        ),
        SliverGrid.extent(
          childAspectRatio: 1,
          maxCrossAxisExtent: 400,
          crossAxisSpacing: 5,
          mainAxisSpacing: 10,
          children: myUrlList.map((myUrl) {
            return Image.network(myUrl);
          }).toList(),
        ),
      ],

Ilford Announces Two New Black-and-White Disposable Cameras
While the rest of the world has consigned disposable cameras to the scrapheap, Ilford has announced two new models
ilford disposables
You have to give it to Ilford, they seem fully committed to keeping analog photography alive in all sorts of wonderful ways. Their newest products are in the all-but-defunct world of disposable cameras — two new black-and-white models that shoot ISO 400 film.
The two cameras are loaded up with films that require different processing. The Ilford XP2 Super Single Use Camera can be developed using a C41 color negative system, so it can be taken to anywhere that still does film development for ease of use, and produces images described as "close-to-neutral". If you have access to a decent nearby photo lab, there's also the Ilford HP5 Plus Single Use Camera, which requires access to standard black-and-white developing facilities.
The cameras are both set to be available immediately in the UK, and we don't know if they're destined for the USA or not. Each will set you back £8.99 for up to 27 exposures. There will also be a pre-paid version of the HP5 for £14.99, which comes with an already paid envelope to send the film direct to Ilford's lab, where it'll be developed and printed on a stack of 4x6s, and sent back to you.


This designer range of jackets has it all. The strategically colored Soothing black double collared UOL jacket comes with a dual color combo with light grey lining and collars in front and solid black base color all over the jacket with lower collars also in black. The well tailored significantly created jacket exudes a signatory manly aura that is practically hard to miss. The all over zipper is premium quality and grey in color to balance the look.

Erling Haaland sets Premier League record by scoring in first four away games
Another game provided yet another outstanding achievement for Erling Haaland, now a scorer in his first four Premier League away matches.
Erling Haaland became the first player to score in each of his opening four Premier League away games after finding the net in Manchester City's match at Wolves.
The forward continued his torrid start to life in England by taking his tally to 14 goals in all competitions as he doubled City's 2-0 lead at Molineux on Saturday.
After Jack Grealish opened the scoring after just 55 seconds, Haaland struck in the 16th minute when he received Bernardo Silva's pass and then fired a 20-yard shot beyond the reach of Jose Sa.
It was also the Norway international's 100th goal in 99 games across all competitions since leaving Salzburg for Borussia Dortmund in January 2020.

Q: How to dynamically add template with set of configs in VueJs? I use VueJs to make dynamic grid structure.
This Grip need some set of configs like,
   var sets = {
          "nb": 3,
          "column": 4,
          "list": false,
          "action_text": "Action 0",
       };

    var templates = [{
          "nb": 2,
          "column": 3,
          "list": false,
          "action_text": "Action 0",
       },
        {
          "nb": 1,
          "column": 2,
          "list": false,
          "action_text": "Action 0",
       }];

My VueJs for Template is,
  Vue.component('campaign_segment', {
    template: '#segment_body',
    props: ['t_nb', 't_column', 't_show_list', 't_action_text'],

    data: function () {
        return {
            n: templates,
            nb: this.t_nb,
            column: this.t_column
            }
        }
    }

My Template Skeleton is,

    <campaign_segment :t_nb="te.nb" :t_column=te.column :t_show_list="te.list"
                      :t_action_text="te.action_text">
    </campaign_segment>

Here, if i try like this,
  var k = 3;

 {{ n }}

I get output as,
     1
     2

If i increase the value of "k", its dynamically reflects.
In my case, i need to pass set of config to existing list.
OnLoad, the defined list works fine, but if i try to inject(push or append), then it won't work.
I try,
  templates[2] = dummy_segment;
  console.log(templates);

Output is,
  Object { 0: Getter, 1: Getter, 2: Object, 1 more… }

Here, newly added object is totally different from existing.
Both are objects.
I need pure append of objects.
After processing template, the existing sets are shown as "Getter" Why ?
What's wrong with my code ?
Is it possible (by Only add Set of Config) ?

A: If you templates variable is not part of vue instance, changing this will not have any effect on vue code, it will not be reactive.
Here are the mutation methods on array, which will trigger change detection for vue instance variables.

*

*push()

*

*pop()

*shift()

*unshift()

*splice()

*sort()

*reverse()

Choose the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) if you're an RN looking to hone your leadership and practical skills and gain a credential that sets you apart in the eyes of employers. A BSN also serves as a bridge to an advanced nursing degree.
Choose the Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) if you aspire to seek certification as a nurse practitioner (NP) or if you want to pursue a career in a specialty area such as teaching, executive leadership, or nursing informatics.
Choose the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) if you want to strengthen your advanced nursing practice, augment healthcare delivery, and improve patient outcomes.
Choose the PhD in Nursing if you want to help shape the future of healthcare as a nurse researcher, educator, or policy maker.
What is the best entry path for my nursing education?
There's a path to success for every level in your nursing career at Walden. Once you've identified which degree you ultimately want, you can determine which path fits you best.
RN to BSN: Choose this track if you are a registered nurse (RN) and want to earn your Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree.
RN-BSN-Accelerate Into Master's: Choose this track in the bachelor's program if you want to take some master's-level courses as an undergraduate. These credits will transfer to your MSN program once you complete your BSN.
BSN to MSN: Choose this track if you are an RN entering the MSN program and have already earned your BSN degree.
RN to MSN: Choose this track if you are an RN entering the MSN program with a hospital diploma or an associate degree in nursing.
DNP to PhD: Choose the Bridge Option if you have a DNP and want to get a PhD in Nursing.
Which MSN degree path is right for me?
Answering this question starts with knowing which patient populations you want to work with, where you prefer to work, and what role you want to play within the healthcare system. Registered nurses who want to continue to work directly with patients may decide to seek certification as a nurse practitioner (NP). Nurses who aspire to teach other nurses or seek executive-level roles can pursue a specialty practice degree in areas such as education, leadership, or informatics.
What support does Walden provide for finding a practicum site?
A practicum gives students valuable practical experience by allowing them to apply their new knowledge and skills in real-life situations and settings. Although students are responsible for initiating their search for a field site based on their geographic preferences, Walden offers a dedicated support staff—including student success advising and practicum coordinators—to assist students.
What are the admissions requirements for an online nursing program?
Admissions requirements for online nursing degree programs typically include the submission of a completed online application and transcripts from other institutions. However, there may be additional requirements depending on the academic program you choose. At Walden, only registered nurses may apply to our online nursing degree programs.
