Q: disable TableCell after setOnEditCommit JavaFX I have created an editable table that has a certain column (quantityColumn) that only this column's cells should be disabled and not editable anymore when setOnEditCommit is done. So in other words they are only allowed to enter once. The program has an add row button that adds new rows to the table and setOnEditCommit updates the database with the new values from each cell in each column.
An example of how my code looks like:
public class TableViewController implements Initializable {

/**
 * Initializes the controller class.
 */
private Connection c = ConnectDB.getInstance().getConnection(); // ConnectDB is a helper that connects to the database
@FXML
private TableView<Item> table;

@FXML
private TableColumn<Item, LocalDate> dateColumn;

@FXML
private TableColumn<Item, LocalTime> timeColumn;

@FXML
private TableColumn<Item, String> quantityColumn;

@Override
public void initialize(URL url, ResourceBundle rb) {

 //the following three are custom TableCell classes that allows me to make my cell have a JFX date and time picker.

    Callback<TableColumn<Item, LocalDate>, TableCell<Item, LocalDate>> cellFactoryDate =
            (TableColumn<Item, LocalDate> param) -> new DatePickerCell();
    Callback<TableColumn<Item, LocalTime>, TableCell<Item, LocalTime>> cellFactoryTime =
            (TableColumn<Item, LocalTime> param) -> new TimePickerCell();
    Callback<TableColumn<Item, String>, TableCell<Item, String>> cellFactoryText =
            (TableColumn<Item, String> param) -> new JFXTextFieldCell();

    dateColumn.setCellValueFactory(cellData -> cellData.getValue().weekDateProperty());
    timeColumn.setCellValueFactory(cellData -> cellData.getValue().timeProperty());
    quantityColumn.setCellValueFactory(cellData -> cellData.getValue().quantityProperty());

    dateColumn.setCellFactory(cellFactoryDate);
    timeColumn.setCellFactory(cellFactoryTime);
    quantityColumn.setCellFactory(cellFactoryText);

    table.setEditable(true);

    dateColumn.setOnEditCommit(event -> {
        Item user = event.getRowValue();
        user.setWeekDate(event.getNewValue());
        updateDate("WeekDate", event.getNewValue(), user.getID());
    });
    timeColumn.setOnEditCommit(event -> {
        Item user = event.getRowValue();
        user.setTime(event.getNewValue());
        updateTime("Time", event.getNewValue(),  user.getID());
    });
    quantityColumn.setOnEditCommit(event -> {
        Item user = event.getRowValue();
        user.setQuantity(event.getNewValue());
        updateQuantity("Quantity", event.getNewValue(),  user.getID());

        //I want to disable the cell that has been committed here
    });

}

I have tried looking for answers here. This is one answer I tried and modified it without condition it disabled the whole column not that certain cell as I don't have a condition for the item I just want to disable when its been entered only once. I tried this as well.
EDIT:
This is the custom JFXTextField I'm using for quantity:
public class JFXTextFieldCell extends TableCell<Item, String> {

        private JFXTextField textField;

        public JFXTextFieldCell() {
        }

        @Override
        public void startEdit() {
            if (!isEmpty()) {
                super.startEdit();
                createTextField();
                setText(null);
                setGraphic(textField);
                textField.selectAll();
            }
        }

        @Override
        public void cancelEdit() {
            super.cancelEdit();

            setText((String) getItem());
            setGraphic(null);
        }

        @Override
        public void updateItem(String item, boolean empty) {
            super.updateItem(item, empty);

            if (empty) {
                setText(item);
                setGraphic(null);
            } else {
                if (isEditing()) {
                    if (textField != null) {
                        textField.setText(getString());
//                        setGraphic(null);
                    }
                    setText(null);
                    setGraphic(textField);
                } else {
                    setText(getString());
                    setGraphic(null);
                }
            }
        }

        private void createTextField() {
            textField = new JFXTextField(getString());
            textField.setMinWidth(this.getWidth() - this.getGraphicTextGap() * 2);
            textField.setOnAction((e) -> commitEdit(textField.getText()));
            textField.focusedProperty().addListener((ObservableValue<? extends Boolean> observable, Boolean oldValue, Boolean newValue) -> {
                if (!newValue) {
                    commitEdit(textField.getText());
                }
            });
        }

        private String getString() {
            return getItem() == null ? "" : getItem();
        }
}

A: Simply disabling (or making uneditable) the current cell won't work; cells will be reassigned e.g. if the user scrolls around the table, so the wrong cells would end up not editable.
You will need to add some property to your model (or store some properties elsewhere which can be accessed via the model instances) and implement a custom cell which observes those properties, updating the editable state appropriately.
Something like the following should work:
ObservableSet<Item> quantityEditedItems = FXCollections.observableSet();

quantityColumn.setCellFactory(tc -> new TextFieldTableCell<>(new IntegerStringConverter()) {
    @Override
    public void updateItem(Integer quantity, boolean empty) {
        super.updateItem(quantity, empty) ;
        editableProperty().unbind();
        if (empty) {
            setEditable(false);
        } else {
            editableProperty().bind(Bindings.createBooleanBinding(() ->
                ! quantityEditedItems.contains(getTableView().getItems().get(getIndex())),
                quantityEditedItems));
        }
    }
});

and then you can do
quantityColumn.setOnEditCommit(event -> {
    StudentPresc user = event.getRowValue(); // should this be Item?
    user.setQuantity(event.getNewValue());
    updateQuantity("Quantity", event.getNewValue(),  user.getID());

    quantityEditedItems.add(event.getRowValue());
});

Discussion in 'Apple Watch' started by Rosepod5, Apr 2, 2017.
Absolutely gutted to take my Apple Watch series 1 off the charger this morning and find the screen has popped off! No damage, no scratches, never been dropped and I only wear it at weekends/workouts so it is immaculate. AppleSupport informed me that due to being out of warranty I needed to pay a £206 service charge... considering a new series 1 watch cost £269 it's safe to say I was not willing to proceed with that . Disgusted that the screen on my watch can just pop off.
Question is where do I go from here as the screen will not push back into position and stay there.
If an S0 then there is not much you can do besides gluing back on and avoiding moisture as much as possible.
I've had the series 1 over a year now so no longer under warranty.
I stated no scratches etc because the screen popping off has not been a result of malicious damage. I could understand if I dropped it but it has literally been treated with complete care.
This seems to be getting common.
I'm curious if this might be a battery swelling on this one since you state it happened while charging.
I won't pretend to know much about the Apple Watch, except I'm glad I haven't risked my money yet. Hope they get these issues sorted out.
Mescagnus, Fernandez21 and Newtons Apple like this.
That was exactly my thought that something was expanding/shrinking when it was charging.
I attempted to push it back into place but it just pops straight out again.
Looks like I may have to result in attempting to glue it back as I cannot justify paying £206 service fee for a watch that costs £269 brand new.
Apple just introduced the Series 1. You have the original Watch aka Series 0.
Your best bet might be to buy a used Series 0. They are selling for a 'song' now.
I wonder if the shops that do aftermarket iPhone screen repairs might be of cheaper help compared to Apple.
If you're going to be stuck gluing it, perhaps they'd do better??? I don't know.
I'd still be curious if that battery is swelling though.
My iPhone 5 had the battery swell and pop the screen off. Naturally, Apple insisted mine was unrelated to the recall of the same problem. So I paid $100 to have a new battery installed at an independent authorized service center.
Incorrect, the Series 1 you are referring to is a NEW model (released at the same time as the S2) with different specs than the S0. If you read it even says 'Dual core processor'. The Series 0 (your Watch) has a single core processor.
apolloa, willmtaylor and fischersd like this.
Your best bet now is to go back to the retailer, using the consumer rights act, stating that you'd expect a high priced item like this to not fail within that short space of time (that's a swollen battery).
Pagemakers and planetf1 like this.
You really should be listening to Julien. Both Series 1 and Series 2 were announced at an Apple event on Sept 7, 2016.
It's not possible for a Series 1 watch to be out of warranty.
You couldn't even pre-order it until Sept 9th. You have at least another 5 months before anyone with a Series 1 or 2 can be out of their one year warranty.
You have the original Apple Watch, which we've all been calling Series 0.
Ntombi and Peter K. like this.
I know others were reporting issues with the adhesive separating from the casing, possibly From moisture or higher temperatures causing it to loosen the display.
Even though these issues do happen, it's highly unlikely this would be a regular occurrence. We are on a forum where members report hardware/technical issues, so perhaps it can seem as if it's a frequent problem, considering the millions of these Watches mass produced. But I have only read maybe three/four threads based on the display separating.
Shirasaki, DDanis60, xDKP and 1 other person like this.
Exactly. Screens aren't simply falling off every watch ever purchased. I've only heard of this happening twice.
Some of us may be interested in a product, but choose to wait until a point that it is refined and / or has gained the capabilities we are looking for.
Apple has a history of early designs developing problems. I have been through numerous such version 1 and 2 designs, and have learned to wait and see.
For example (and certainly not my only such experience), after numerous bad iMacs, I eventually decided to stop trying every revision, and waited until a machine revision survived a year without reported problem. At that time, the least problematic machine proved to be the 2006 Mac Pro. Which I waited to purchase until it was being discontinued. I wanted proven and trouble free. And it's paid off very well for me.
I now observe, read, and wait before buying any new Apple product to make sure it's durable enough for my use.
As such, I do participate in threads whether it meets with your approval or not.
One day I may decide the Apple Watch is ready. At this point, it's doing ok. But it's still got a long way to go before it's ready for me.
Until then, I will participate as I see fit. Observe, exchange ideas and thoughts. And, I won't be seeking your approval, as it isn't of importance to me.
As for the original poster, my thoughts are as valid as anyone else's. I would recommend verifying that the battery hasn't swelled up. And then either obtain a repair estimate from somebody cheaper than Apple, or proceed with self repair. But if it were me, I'd want to make sure the battery isn't a potential problem.
The same EXACT thing happened to my Watch Series 2 Nike (Volt/Black), which I ordered minute after it was available online.
This happened a one month after I got the watch. I only use it for running and yoga, and one day when I went to put it on, the screen had popped off.
Given that where I live (Nairobi, Kenya) does not have an Store, I made an appointment and took it with me to the Store in Covent Garden (London). The watch was assessed, and given that there was no cosmetic damage (spider-abed screen cracking, or scratches) the technician agreed that it was a manufacturing defect.
It was sent off to their service centre, and I received an email a few days later (after I had left the UK) about needing to pay £269 for this! I was shocked and called Customer Services in the US (where I purchased the watch) and explained the situation to them; they agreed to repair it for free. What I received, instead, was a refurbished Nike watch (this I knew because it had a few nicks / scratches on the case); the screen was also not very responsive. I called the Customer Service Rep back, and told him that I was traveling to the US and would like it looked at again.
On arrival to the Store in Union Square, San Francisco, I told them about my problem and they swapped it out in-store.
This is the customer experience that I have been used to with apple for over 17 years - and why I continue to buy their products.

Ok so thanks for clearing up that my watch is one of the 1st generations, still out of warranty and still has the screen hanging off.
In case any of you were interested I had a good look at it internally and found the battery was bulging... how I did not see this before I do not know.
The expanded battery is preventing the screen from sitting back in position.
I have ordered a new battery to replace myself.
At least the hardest part of removing the screen has already been done for me!
b0fh666, flyinmac and petsk like this.
That makes sense why the display popped off with the battery bulging. Good luck with the repair and let us know how it goes.
It's good that you investigated the battery. You don't want that thing causing trouble.
It is concerning that it would be bulging already. But it did seem like the most likely culprit.
There's a chance that Apple may acknowledge (or be forced to acknowledge) that as a problem at some point if enough have that happen.
In prior situations, Apple eventually acknowledged manufacturing defects. And those who had spent their own money could be reimbursed if they had their receipts. So keep your receipt.
If you wanted extra documentation to back it up, you could let your local Apple Store see it and verify that the battery is bulging. Even if they don't repair it, you'll have the paperwork for a possible future reimbursement.
Either way, sounds like a simple fix. And probably all you'll need to figure out is how to reseal it.
What exactly makes a battery swell?
BigMcGuire, Shirasaki, ZebraDude and 2 others like this.
Great to find this thread (even though the issue is not great)!
[EDIT]: Quite the coincidence that there has been a similar case so recently.
I sent feedback to Apple.

You've stated that Apple quoted you a charge, but this is obviously a manufacturing defect. Apple has been known to replace out of warranty phones and the like that have suffered from swollen batteries. Have you actually tried taking it into an Apple Retail Store?

Courage Under Fire: Growing up in the South Pacific of World War II. Pt 10
by Carrie Brown • November 30, 2019 • 3 Comments
In my last post about Fred L. Jacobs and the other men of Company E of the 126th the troops were in rough shape. They had launched 3 failed attempts on Buna Mission with catastrophic consequences. By the end of December 19, 1942, most of the men of the 32nd had suffered either combat injury or jungle sickness. The 127th came in to relieve the men of the 126th, the men of the 2/126th moved to the rear to recover.
Buna Mission
The 127th faced the same daunting challenge of merciless crossfire in the triangle. Leadership realized that the task required a new approach. On December 20, 1942, they abandoned attempts to cross the triangle.
Battles raged across the area while the men of Company E were getting recovered. Losses were significant, but they made progress. By December 28th, 1942, the Japanese forces, cut off from the attack on the new approach, could not hold the triangle. The Japanese forces abandoned their 14 bunkers before the Allied forces could take the area.
"I walked along there and found it terrifically strong. It is a mass of bunkers and entrenchments surrounded by swamp. It is easy to see how they held us off so long."

General Sutherland After touring the triangle
Urbana force was now in the position to take Buna Mission. On December 29, 1942 they moved the men of 2/126th back into the line. They moved into the area of Government Gardens to join the push on Buna Mission. The final attack on Buna Mission would jump off on the morning of December 31, 1942.
While heavy fighting raged around Buna Mission, the men of the 2/126th including Company E, made gains that day. They cleared the Government Gardens of enemy forces and gained about 300 yards of territory. On the Japanese side, the forces were becoming desperate in the face of Allied advances.
The fall of Buna Mission was imminent as Allied forces approached from all directions. The Japanese started attempting to escape the advancing forces. On January 1, 1943, Japanese troops were spotting trying to swim away from Buna Mission. Leaders of the Japanese troops, Colonel Yamamoto and Captain Yasuda, met at a central point and killed themselves in the traditional Japanese manner of slitting their own bellies.
The remaining Japanese forces dug in at Buna Mission continued a fight to the death. By 1700, the battle for the mission was over. After six weeks of fighting, the battle for the Buna region was officially complete.
Elements of the 126th would see further fighting in the jungles of New Guinea. On January 9, 1943, the last of the 126th received relief. The toll had been heavy. When the 126th marched into the battle of Buna they had numbered 1400 fighting men. On January 9th, they were down to 165. Those 165 were in bad shape.
The Heavy Toll
The 126th evacuated for Port Moresby on January 22, 1943. The report on troop strength on January 20, 1943 showed Company E with 1 officer and 16 enlisted men in fighting shape.

The Papuan Campaign was one of the costliest in terms of human life lost of the entire Pacific region. The men of the 126th were off for a heavy dose of rest and recuperation in Australia.
Fred L. Jacobs was awarded 3 purple hearts during his service in World War II. I don't know the details of how he was injured but looking at the casualties experienced by Company E I suspect one of his purple hearts were earned around Buna.

Finally success in Buna. One has to wonder whether it was worth all the costs in human life and suffering. But that's true of war in general.
Carrie Brown
Both sides suffered such heavy losses in Buna it really is just horrifying. Company E was pulled from what was and still is a very rural area in Michigan. It is so hard to fathom the losses of even a few hundred in that area.

J.J. Grey & Mofro Feature
Features, Music
Fans who get tickets to see J.J. Grey & Mofro June 30 at Avondale Brewing in Birmingham are likely to see a version of the band that's a bit less unpredictable with their show than in years past.
Where earlier outings generally found Grey mixing up the set list from show to show, last year the group settled into more of a consistent selection of songs to play on tour.
"We'd have a group of songs we'd rotate in and out, but we kept a core of it (the set list) together, which we'd never done," Grey said in a recent phone interview. "And something happened with the show that in the set, it just took it to a whole new level. I really liked that. So now, I want to put together three or four different set ideas, to get them hammered in, instead of just like kind of willy nilly putting (set lists) together every night, although that can be fun, too…but just get them honed down to where, it's just like anything, if you get a song to where nobody's thinking about what they're doing, they're just playing, we all know it goes somewhere awesome. Well, if you get a whole show going like that, it gets really crazy."
The live show isn't the only thing that has Grey feeling upbeat these days. His career has also been on a notably positive track, as years of steady touring have built a following that now allows him to play theaters and the largest of clubs on a regular basis.
"To just continue to go do it is part of it, the tenacity of it," Grey said. "And playing with great people, obviously, but that's been going on since day one."
Another big factor in his growing success, Grey said, is a change in attitude from when he first came on the scene in 2001. Back then, as he released his first two albums (2001's "Blackwater" and 2004's "Lochloosa"), he was prone to frustration when things didn't go his way.
Over the years, as he has continued to put out a steady stream of albums – the Jacksonville, Florida-based singer/guitarist released five well-received albums in six years while signed to Alligator Records from 2007 through 2013 – his outlook has brightened.
"I just learned how to be grateful for what I have — that changed everything – and enjoy it instead of trying to find something wrong with everything," Grey said. "I think that changed everything." Grey said he can't point to any specific moment that changed his outlook.
"A million different little things happened, and I couldn't tell you exactly which of those it was. I may have had a couple of epiphany type moments. I can't pinpoint one exactly," he said. "But it was just like suddenly this deep appreciation for just being here, it just kind of happened and it needed to happen because I was making myself sick all the time by not appreciating what I had and having appreciation for all the wonderful opportunities I had. Irregardless about music, music's great, too, but I'm just talking about everything. Instead of constantly finding flaws and faults with everything, whatever it is, to ignore that 90 percent of the time that things are going right for everybody, and then to only focus on the 5 percent of the times when s*** goes wrong, it's like, that's life. You ain't getting out of it without painful and wrong. That's the way that it is, and enjoy it. Enjoy it when things go wrong and figure out a way to fix it and get back right." He does say, though, that one major life event certainly contributed to his feeling better about life – having his daughter.
"It had everything to do with it. It made me appreciate things instead of, here again, what we were just talking about," Grey said. "I've got it easy, easy because I've got a wonderful family. There are several songs on 'Ol' Glory,' I've had songs on several albums that were about my daughter. But it just was a huge thing. It just changed everything. That's another thing that made me appreciate (life) and realize the greatest gift I can give her is my attention. And part of reclaiming my own intention was to reclaim it from the part of myself that wants to complain about everything and find something wrong with everything. So stage one was reclaiming that and I'm in control of my intention instead of something else. That's a huge part."
The brighter mood has translated to Grey's more recent music, particularly on the excellent "Ol' Glory." The album continues to combine three main ingredients that have always been present in Grey's music – rock, rough-hewn Southern country, funk and soul – but this time out the soul element is more pronounced and there is a brighter disposition to most of the material.
The soul element is especially apparent on songs like the luminous "Everything is a Song," the rousing title track and the ballad "Light a Candle," which sound like they could have been spun out alongside the music of Otis Redding or William Bell from the Stax Records studio in Memphis during the 1960s. Funk gets into the mix on the snappy "Brave Lil' Fighter and the gritty rocker "Turn Loose." Meanwhile, the swampy acoustic-based "The Island" lets Grey's country-blues roots shine. The country and soul roots also figure strongly on "Every Minute," a song that especially illustrates Grey's improved disposition ("This mirrored light that sends back/everything that you send out/The grace you give, given back/Loving every minute you live").
"Ol' Glory" has been out for more than two years now. So given Grey's history of releasing albums in quick succession, it's no surprise that he has started to turn his attention to his next release.
"I'm working on a new album now. I'm not in the studio yet, but I'm doing demos and stuff and just doing the songwriting part of it, I guess, if you want to call it that, piecing together stuff and listening to it and thinking about it, sussing it all out right now," he said. "But definitely, thing number one for me right now is to get that all together." For now, there's also a run of shows this summer. With "Ol' Glory" two-plus years in the rearview mirror, Grey's set is now focused on his full catalog of songs.
"I just think of the mood of the song and what's going on at that time in the show (dictates the set list)," he said. "But for the most part, there are songs from all the different records in the show."

Powdered Alcohol Company Gets Federal Approval
By Alexandra Olgin
Published: Wednesday, March 11, 2015 - 4:05pm
Updated: Thursday, March 12, 2015 - 9:01am
A powdered alcohol product got final federal approval for the second time. The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau accidentally permitted it for a few weeks last year.
Palcohol is freeze-dried alcohol packaged in a four-by-six-inch pouch. The product can be added to liquids to make them alcoholic. It was developed by Lipsmark LLC, a Tempe-based company.
Creator Mark Phillips explains how to use it in a video on the company's website.
"All I do is pour about five ounces of water in there, then you zip the bag closed tightly and shake," he said. "It takes about 30 seconds for the powder to dissolve."
Federal approval is only the first step. The company now has to get authorization from each state in which it plans to sell Palcohol. States regulate the sale and advertising of alcohol.
Lee Hill with the Arizona Department of Liquor said this is new territory.
"Liquor is very clearly defined by ounces and by alcohol volume in Arizona liquor law. So, should they come to us seeking a liquor license ... I don't know how we would respond because there is no liquor license for powder," Hill said.
The Arizona Legislature is considering a bill that would make it illegal to buy, sell, possess or consume powdered alcohol. Until that bill becomes law the product isn't regulated by the state.

Anyone know when they're supposed to be given to the winners? I didn't see anything anywhere that gave me a clue.
I'm sure you'll most likley get a heads up in some way or another for when they're "delivered".
IIRC, last year, he waited a week for winners to respond and if they hadn't by then - ones that didn't respond were redrawn.
He won't give them out until all winners have picked, because of how the system works.
Depends how fast people reply. Last year I think prizes were given out sometimes mi-January (at least to the 1st,2nd and 3rd prize winners). In 2011 they were given out in February.
No such luck. Oh well there is always next year. If there's another raffle. Lol.
There's still that tiny glistening sliver of hope, right?
Congrats to the lucky ones!!!
Eager to see new prize dragon;_;!!
I think we are all thinking between the same lines and being selfish, even though most of us deep inside know we are never gonna be that lucky..
ROFL I thought you were serious for a minute there .
Sadly nothing for the 3rd year..
Congratz to all you lucky winners!
Congratulations to the winners! Can't wait to see the new prizes.
No luck with this raffle, though I hope to win the GoN summoning raffle when I try later this evening.
and again Congratulations to all the winners!
and lets not forget the raffle and slave er lovely kitchen jobs brought to light some beautiful gingerbread houses!
Random question. My little brother checked his account but it wouldnt let him see his dragons until he changed his email?? Whats that all about?
I changed my email for a more recent one today and it also didn't let me see my dragons until I confirmed the change. Maybe that's what happened?
Congrads to all the winners. Another year I didn't win... oh well, next year.
Yup it is.. Ahh well he was getting his hopes up.
Ahh, yes. I feel a bit bad about saying that, because I am, truly happy for those that won~ It's just.....You know, I'm sure all of you guys know what I mean.
I fail at catching CB Metallics as well, however, sometimes I feel like a raffle would be easier, since it's based off (at least this year) luck, rather than when and how fast you are in the cave..
@Pie: Ohmigawsh, I though you were serious at first! You know what? I'm gonna go do that around my house for a few minutes. It'll probably feel pretty good, haha.
Nothing for me.... even went through all my spam mails, nada. UNless TJ is hiding a congratulations message in a spam mail about cheap drugs, car insurance, and credit scores.

THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF DISNEY ON ICE | London, SSE Arena
Entertainment review
REVIEW: This new touring show is the best #DisneyOnIce show we've ever seen — and we've seen a lot. The cast are al… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The Prickle (@ThePrickle) March 16, 2019
Here at The Prickle we've reviewed a lot of Disney On Ice shows; this is the third in three months (the others being at the O2 Arena and the Hong Kong Convention Centre). Therefore, you can trust that this new touring show is the best we've ever seen. The cast are all absolutely superb, and noticeably a cut above the usual standard (like at Disneyland, uncredited).
Spectacle is the name of the game, with a "Prince Ali" sequence that includes Aladdin majestically astride his gigantic elephant, surrounded by the whirling dancers of Agrabah. The stampede sequence from The Lion King is done with a flurry of wildebeest puppets, fixed to the numerous members of the ensemble, who snake around the ice in dizzying hunting patterns.
But the choreography (Cindy Stuart) is really where this show shines so brightly. Simba kicks things off with a stunning quadruple spin in "I Just Can't Wait To Be King", and both Snow White and Frozen's Anna exude utter grace and full command of the virtuosic ice dancing. Even the fun sections with Mickey Mouse are more energetic and charismatic than ever.
The production design (Jim Youmans) is layered and rich, but still allows room for skating. The parade of characters at the end of each half shows off the truly spectacular costumes. Ingenious lighting (Sam Doty) really lifts the spectacle to a another level. Children in the audience show their open-mouthed excitement, as do many adults. The Wonderful World of Disney On Ice is truly the crème de la crème.
Experience the magic at The O2 until 17 March 2019.

LGBs who have undergone conversion therapy more likely to attempt suicide
This article shared 2757 times since Mon Jun 15, 2020
A new report by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law finds that non-transgender LGB people who experienced conversion therapy were almost twice as likely to think about suicide and to attempt suicide compared to their peers who hadn't experienced conversion therapy.
Using a representative sample of sexual minorities in the U.S., researchers examined whether experiencing conversion therapy is associated with suicidal ideation and attempts among non-transgender ( cisgender and gender non-binary ) sexual minority people, including lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, and people who use other identity labels, such as queer.
Findings show 7% of LGB adults age 18-59 in the U.S. have experienced conversion therapy. The investigators also asked whether people received conversion therapy from a religious advisor, a health care provider, or both. An estimated 81% of people who have had conversion therapy received it from a religious leader, and 31% received it from a health care provider.
Conversion therapy is a discredited practice intended to change the sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression of LGBT people.
"Rather than being therapy, so-called 'conversion therapy' is a minority stressor that reinforces stigma and conveys that being LGB is abnormal, sinful, and should be rejected," said study senior author Ilan H. Meyer, Distinguished Senior Scholar of Public Policy at the Williams Institute. "We found that people who undergo conversion therapy are at increased risk of suicide ideation and attempts. This is a devastating outcome that goes counter to the purpose of therapy."
According to the study, LGB people who experienced adverse childhood experiences, such as physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, were more likely to have undergone conversion therapy than those who did not experience adverse childhood experiences. Undergoing conversion therapy was related to suicidality even after controlling for the effect of adverse childhood experiences.
-Approximately 7% of LGB people in the U.S. have experienced conversion therapy: 81% received it from a religious leader and 31% received it from a health care provider. Some people received it from both religious advisors and health care providers.
-4 out of 5 people who received conversion therapy received it from a religious leader.
-People who identified as gay or lesbian were more likely to experience conversion therapy than those who identified as bisexual or another sexual minority label ( e.g., queer ).
-The odds of experiencing conversion therapy were greater among people who as children lived with a parent or another adult who was depressed, mentally ill, or suicidal; lived in a household with parental intimate partner violence; or reported emotional, physical, or sexual abuse.
-LGB people who experienced conversion therapy showed greater odds of having suicidal thoughts and attempts compared to LGB people who had not experienced conversion therapy:
—92% greater odds of lifetime suicidal ideation
—75% greater odds of planning to attempt suicide
—88% greater odds of attempting suicide resulting in no or minor injury
Currently, 20 states and Washington, D.C. have laws banning the practice of conversion therapy on youth by licensed health care professionals. These laws do not cover religious providers.
"Leading medical and social services organizations condemn the practice of conversion therapy as ineffective and harmful," said lead author John R. Blosnich, Assistant Professor with the Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work at the University of Southern California. "Outreach to the public on the harms of conversion therapy is needed, particularly in areas where the practice is commonly used."
The report, "Sexual Orientation Change Efforts, Adverse Childhood Experiences, and Suicide Ideation and Attempt Among Sexual Minority Adults, United States, 2016—2018" appears in Research and Practice and is co-authored by John R. Blosnich, Ph.D., M.P.H., Emmett R. Henderson, M.S., Robert W.S. Coulter, Ph.D., M.P.H., Jeremy T. Goldbach, Ph.D., M.S.S.W, and Ilan H. Meyer, Ph.D.

Jozy signs for Hull City
by David on August 5, 2009
Hull City's summer long search for a center-forward has came to an end with the news that USA striker Jozy Altidore has been loaned to Hull City for the season from Jozy's Spanish club Villarreal.
Altidore's problem last season was his lack of playing time after joining Villarreal from the New York Red Bulls in June 2008. After making only two starts and four substitute appearances during the first half of the season, he was loaned to Xerez in the second division on Jan. 30.
If Altidore can get a regular run of games playing for Hull in the Premier League, that can only be good news for the U.S. National team as it aims to qualify in next summer's World Cup.

London Art Spot: Karishma Shahani
Brightly coloured designs marked Karishma Shahani's award-winning catwalk collection for the London College of Fashion's Graduate Runway Show 2010. She came away with an award for "Best Surface Textiles" to add to her CV alongside the "Nina De York Fashion Illustration" award and "Fashion Graduate of the Year award.
It's no surprise her eye-catching work has caught the attention of staff at Vogue, Grazia, Elle and ID magazine alongside quite a few others around the world from France to Russia to Hong King and Japan.
Her values of longevity in clothing, ethical fair trade and using "upcycled" and organic materials match the values of the forward-thinking audience she will reach with her vibrant collections.
For this week's London Art Spot, Karishma tells us how life in her native India plays a massive part in her work, shows off some photos of latest stunning collection and lets us in on the details of her collaboration with American artist Amy Sol.
LLO: Give us an overview of your latest collection, Yatra.
KS: The collection draws inspiration and elements from the multiple layers of India's vibrant culture that continuously create colourful, vivid and eclectic experiences for the onlooker. The colours are picked from traditional paintings of Indian Gods, and recreated through natural methods of dyeing. The surface texture adds to the multi-dimensional feel enhancing the use of natural fabrics alongside upcyled packaging materials.
In its essence this collection is a reflection of the Indian lifestyle of re-interpretation of materials and their function at every step; always re-using and recycling; creating heirlooms that are passed down through generations. Each garment is made with beauty, simplicity and versatility as its core which lends it a multi-layered and personality-driven charm. The designs combine a fusion of two extremes, making the collection experimental and unconventional, while being hinged on modern functionality.
LLO: Which aspects of life in your native India most inspire your work? What about aspects of London life?
KS: A lot of aspects ranging from the people on the road, to our vast history, culture, architecture, crafts, travel, the list is endless. London's cosmopolitan nature is very appealing. Being a melting pot for people from all around the world is quite inspiring. UK too has a comprehensive history and its ties with India are aspects I like exploring.
LLO: Tell us about some of the materials that have gone into your latest collection – the bright colours, the recycled concept, etc. What's the most unusual material you used or the most difficult to obtain?
KS: The materials in the collection range from calico and cotton to pure silk and silk tulle and then over to High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). The last being a material used extensively in packaging in India hence lending to the upcycled nature of this collection as the patterns were cut from previously used sacks. All the material in the collection barring the HDPE have been hand dyed to suit the colour requirements that give enough homage to their source of inspiration. The accessories include secondhand hand-painted shoes and piece from chandeliers, cut away sneakers and blankets. The toughest material to obtain was the HDPE due to its varied sizes and quality control it required to obtain large pieces to create the garments.
LLO: Do you remember a precise moment that made you decide you wanted to have a career in fashion?
KS: Just the simple fact of creating new things. Consciously or without realising, clothing plays an important part in defining a person's personality for the onlooker and I've always found this aspect really interesting. So I can't pinpoint a precise moment.
LLO:Which signature elements of your designs make them unique to you?
KS: Colour, texture, contrast
LLO: Not only have you won some impressive awards (including "Best Surface Textiles 2010 LCF BA Graduate Show", "Nina De York Illustration Award 2010" and "Fashion Graduate of the Year 2010 British Graduate 100 Award") but you also started your own label. What has been your proudest moment so far in your fashion career?
KS: Receiving the "Best Surface Textile Award" at the London College of Fashion Graduate show 2010 was a great way to graduate, a fulfilling pat of encouragement.
LLO: Your bio includes a degree in economics, experience in at an NGO and a stint as a production manager. Does your career background have an impact on the way you approach fashion?
KS: Yes it does. I do think that one needs to know all the aspects of the industry they are a part of; it's not about mastering all aspects but just simply about knowing how things work, because everything works hand-in-hand. All my previous work experiences have shaped my outlook towards design and its end result. The work has made me travel and live in various cities, that in itself is an enriching experience.
LLO: Where's your favourite place in London to gather fashion inspiration – both in the shops and on the streets?
KS: Camden Town. One of my absolute favourites. I love how you can find 'anything' in the market and see 'anyone' on the streets. It always puts me in awe at the diversity that is around us.
LLO: Any other up-and-coming London-based designers we should keep an eye on?
KS: Felicity Brown, Manjit Deu, David Longshaw to name just a few.
LLO: What's next for you?
KS: I am currently working on developing an AW 11 collection, alongside a brand that further promotes social responsibility and traditional techniques for a sustainable future of products and fashion; that continues to become more aware of its power to change and assist changes in lives of all those involved. Alongside this, I am working on a collaboration project with American artist Amy Sol, whose phantasmagorical paintings always depict girls in flowing dresses wandering through luscious landscapes. This project for a social eco-fashion enterprise called "Jhoole", a non-profit business, designed to uplift female artisans based in a weaver's village in rural Madhya Pradesh, India which will culminate in exhibitions and fashion shows in the summer of 2011. Another, being a textile development project for a textile producer based on recyclability and sustainability of fabrics combined with a base to provide further work for craftspeople in different regions of India.
Thanks Karishma!

"A Dog's Way Home" Distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing and Columbia Pictures, 102 Minutes, Rated PG, Released Jan. 11:
In "A Dog's Way Home" a Pitbull puppy is rescued from abandonment and adopted by Lucas, an earnest young Denver medical student who interns at the local VA hospital. Lucas names his puppy Bella.
Also the primary caregiver for his disabled veteran mom, Lucas soon runs into trouble with the villainous local animal control enforcer: It seems that Denver has an antiquated law on the books, which prohibits Pitbulls within the city limits. Lucas and his mom have angered a local real estate developer, and in retribution he intends to make sure the law is enforced. The intern and his mother live in a place, which prohibits pets anyway.
So with the assistance of his friend Olivia, a fellow med student and budding romantic interest, Lucas finds a temporary home for his growing dog with friends in Farmington, New Mexico. Bella will remain in Farmington, some 400 miles away, while Lucas and his mom locate more Pitbull-friendly alternative housing in Golden, Colorado.
Unfortunately, Bella thinks the temporary relocation to New Mexico is a big game, a variation of "Go Home," a favorite of Lucas. So at the first opportunity, Bella escapes his interim Farmington residence and begins an arduous 400-mile, two-year odyssey across the mountains and wilderness to return to his home with Lucas and his mom in Denver.
Based on humorist W. Bruce Cameron's 2017 novel of the same name and adapted to the screen by Cathryn Michon and Cameron himself, "A Dog's Way Home" turns out to be a wonderfully effective little family film, which aims straight for the viewer's tear ducts and scores a bullseye.
The picture is reminiscent of the live action pictures produced by the Walt Disney studios during the 1950s and 1960s, specifically the similar "The Incredible Journey" from 1963. But unlike the Disney films of yesteryear, "A Dog's Way Home" is reflective of modern sensibilities, pointedly PC, and does not shy away from depicting heartache and even tragedy.
Among the cast of humans, Jonah Hauer-King and Alexandra Shipp are earnest and effective as Lucas and Olivia, while the top-billed Ashley Judd is appropriately vulnerable but resilient as Terri, Lucas' emotionally-wounded Army veteran mom. An almost unrecognizable Edward James Olmos turns up during Bella's journey as a disabled veteran who's not quite as fortunate as Terri. Wes Studi appears late in the picture as a sympathetic Denver police captain. And actress Bryce Dallas Howard narrates the film in her best Once Upon A Time voice.
"A Dog's Way Home" was directed with sensitivity and obvious affection by Charles Martin Smith, a former actor who appeared during another generation as the hapless Terry in George Lucas' classic 1973 pre-"Star Wars" picture "American Graffiti" and also, appropriately, starred in Disney's "Never Cry Wolf" from 1983 as the biologist who journeys into the wilderness to study the animal population.
Photographed beautifully by Peter Menzies Jr. and containing an evocative music score reminiscent of Elmer Bernstein's sentimental melodies for 1962's "To Kill a Mockingbird," "A Dog's Way Home" is receiving strong support from the critics, scoring an approval rating of 60 percent from Rotten Tomatoes and 50 percent from Metacritic. CinemaScore audiences award the picture a grade of A-minus.
Produced on a modest budget of $18 million, distributors Columbia Pictures and parent company Sony were undoubtedly inspired to make "A Dog's Way Home" by the remarkable success of rival Universal's 2017 Cameron adaptation "A Dog's Purpose," which earned some $204 million in revenues on an investment of $22 million. The Columbia picture's off to a good start, earning $11.3 million during its debut weekend, enough to score a third-place finish in the box office Top Ten behind the new comedy "The Upside" and the returning blockbuster "Aquaman."
"A Dog's Way Home" is a good companion piece for Universal's "A Dog's Purpose" and a welcome addition to author Cameron's growing list of screen adaptations, but not a sequel to the 2017 film. The follow-up to "A Dog's Purpose" will be Universal's "A Dog's Journey," due in May.
"A Dog's Way Home" is rated PG for thematic elements, some peril and mild language concerns.
"Replicas" Distributed by Entertainment Studios Motion Pictures, 107 Minutes, Rated PG-13, Released Jan. 11:
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh, what a tangled web we weave...
A neuroscientist is working on a project involving the transfer of human consciousness from recently deceased bodies and into alternative host vehicles--basically brain transplants into robots. But the doc can't seem to work the ol' bugs out of the procedure.
When his wife and kids are killed in a tragic auto accident, the scientist finds new inspiration for his research. He harvests his late family's intellects onto big flash drives, transports them to his secret basement laboratory, and then not only resurrects his loved ones but also uses a soupy artificial means to clone their original bodies as hosts for their recovered psyches. He's able to formulate the necessary technology and accomplish all of the above in 17 days flat, but soon finds that his family's rebirth is only the beginning of his problems...
This is one movie that has to be seen to be believed. Destined to achieve immortality as a cult classic, "Replicas" is either the most ridiculous movie of the new millennium or a masterpiece of camp, depending on your threshold for absurdity. An over-the-top blend of science fiction and horror, the movie seems to play along the periphery of self-parody but somehow never quite manages to step over the line into flat out hilarity. The result is an unlikely combination of the 1962 midnight movie staple "The Brain That Wouldn't Die" and 1985's "Re-Animator," with a heaping dose of "RoboCop" thrown in.
Keanu Reeves has always been an honest performer. Whether in the surprisingly enduring romantic sports comedy "The Replacements," the popular "Matrix" trilogy, or the megahit action adventure classic "Speed," the actor invariably displays a sort of urgent and earnest truthfulness that's enormously attractive to movie audiences, particularly his legions of fans. Even as the vacant stoner in the "Bill and Ted" comedies, Reeves seemed to passionately pursue his own imbecilic cluelessness.
In some weird way, this same sense of urgency works for the effectiveness of "Replicas." In a role that cries out for a tortured and obsessed demeanor, Reeves instead conjures a sort of overwhelmed sincerity, making almost logical his character's ability to steal every car battery in his upper-class neighborhood over the course of one single night (about 60 or so, it looks like) when he can't find a place that sells generators at 3 a.m. But the actor's patented earnestness is almost enough to redefine at least temporarily our image of a cinematic mad scientist.
Playing the Igor to Reeves' Dr. Frankenstein is the Canadian actor Thomas Middleditch, employing the same loopy, good-natured manner he uses in his ubiquitous TV appearances as the pitchman for Verizon Wireless. As an expert in human cloning, Middleditch possesses a pretzel logic that allows him to give issues of ethics and morality nary a thought, but fret that he and Reeves will get in trouble at work for swiping several million dollars' worth of cutting edge medical equipment that looks like it came from 1957's "The Curse of Frankenstein." And they do get in trouble, but not for the reasons you'd expect.
Written by newcomers Chad St. John and Stephen Hamel and directed by "The Day After Tomorrow" filmmaker Jeffrey Nachmanoff, "Replicas" throws rational thought to the wind and, intentionally or not, infuses the film with enough plot holes, narrative silliness, continuity issues and leaps of reason to delight connoisseurs of bad movies. Still, it's never tedious or boring, it's almost impossible to dislike, and you just can't say it's not entertaining.
Distributed by Entertainment Studios Motion Pictures, the independent film studio founded in 1993 by comic Byron Allen to "take the studio crumbs and make a gourmet meal," "Replicas" is being marketed relentlessly over the television airwaves, with television commercials sometimes appearing twice or more during the same station breaks.
Entertainment Studios was hoping to earn a modest $7 million from the picture during its opening weekend in 2,329 theaters across North America. In the end, including only $200,000 from Thursday night sneak previews, "Replicas" grossed only $2.5 million during its first weekend in release, one of the worst all-time debuts among movies premiering in 2,000-plus venues.
Unsurprisingly, "Replicas" is being blasted by the critics, earning an approval rating of just 9 percent from Rotten Tomatoes against an average score of 17 percent from Metacritic, both indicating "overwhelming dislike." The entertainment newspaper Variety specifically notes the picture's "cavernous plot holes, risible dialogue, and ludicrously illogical behavior." Exit audiences polled by CinemaScore award "Replicas" a grade of C.
Also starring Alice Eve from 2013's "Star Trek Into Darkness" and the always reliable John Ortiz, "Replicas' is rated PG-13 for thematic material, violence, disturbing images, brief nudity and sexual references. Warning: There's a horrifyingly realistic automobile crash about 20 minutes into the picture, so be prepared to cover the eyes of the youngsters.
"The Upside" Distributed by STX Entertainment and Lantern Entertainment, 126 Minutes, Rated PG-13, Released Jan. 11:
In this remake of the 2011 French film "The Intouchables," Bryan Cranston and Kevin Hart team up as a melancholy quadriplegic gazillionaire and the streetwise, cynical and irresponsible ex-convict he hires as a personal attendant. Through their professional relationship and growing friendship both men find redemption of a sort: The disabled man recovers his enthusiasm for life, and the attendant learns the value of family and responsibility.
Written by Jon Hartmere and directed by Neil Burger, "The Upside" turns out to be a fairly entertaining mismatched-buddies comedy, little different in quality from past films from "The Odd Couple" to "Trading Places" to "Green Book." At first the picture resembles an almost scene-by-scene English-speaking copy of the original 2011 French film, with spare dialogue and an edgier vibe. But after a promising start, the seams begin to show: The characters are underwritten, the situations become contrived, the dialogue is clunky and unpersuasive, and stereotypes are unfortunately reinforced.
The final product is episodic and overlong, and eventually goes almost exactly where you think it will, with an ending right out of 1944's "Going My Way" and very few surprises before then. Cranston and an unusually subdued Hart help a lot by contributing their considerable likeability to the product, and Nicole Kidman as Cranston's brisk and brittle business aide lends a quality of respectability. Julianna Margulies also shows up late in the film as a possible romantic partner for Cranston.
Originally inspired by the true story of Philippe Pozzo di Borgo, a Corsican real estate magnate and hotelier who was disabled in a paragliding accident, the project has been kicking around for quite a while. In 2011 The Weinstein Company acquired the rights to remake the French "The Intouchables" in English, with Chris Rock and Colin Firth starring and Paul Feig directing.
When that version fell through, the project went through several configurations of creative staff before Cranston and Hart were cast, Neil Burger was hired to direct, and the film's title was changed to "The Upside." The picture began filming in Philadelphia in January of 2017, and the completed picture was unveiled at the Toronto International Film Festival that September. A wide release was scheduled for March of 2018.
In January 2018, following the allegations of sexual abuse against The Weinstein Company's director Harvey Weinstein, "The Upside" was pulled from the company's release schedule. Eventually the picture was purchased by STX Entertainment, who partnered with Lantern Entertainment to distribute "The Upside." Lantern Entertainment is the independent film studio which purchased at auction the assets of the now-defunct Weinstein Company.
"The Upside" is receiving mixed reviews from the critics, including an approval rating of 38 percent from Rotten Tomatoes, which calls the movie "preachy, manipulative, and frustratingly cliched." Metacritic awards the film an average score of 44 percent. Exit audiences polled by CinemaScore, however, award the film a grade of A.
STX Entertainment was hoping "The Upside" would earn up to $10 million during its opening weekend in 3,080 theaters across North America. But after $6.9 million in tickets were sold for the picture by the end of opening day alone, an amount including $1.1 million from Thursday night sneak previews, the studio's estimates were raised to $19 million. The film actually exceeded even that estimate, earning over $19.5 million.
"The Upside" is rated PG-13 for scenes containing suggestive content and recreational drug use.

The local chapter #60 was formed in 1978 under the direction of Dr. Mascarenhas, a local cardiologist. Since that time we have had monthly support meetings at the Florida Medical Center. In addition, we have maintained a team of patient visitors composed of members who have had heart surgery. Their visits in the hospital make an enormous difference and relieve a tremendous amount of worry and anxiety to the patients and their families.
In addition to visiting patients, every summer since 1992, our chapter has been sponsoring children with serious heart defects to a special camp that is under the supervision of cardiologists and nurses especially selected to care for them. They are children who have never been to camp and, considering their condition, might never have had the opportunity to experience summer camp and mingle with others just like themselves without the assistance of the Mended Hearts.
History of The Mended Hearts, Inc.
Mended Hearts is an international, non-profit, self-help organization for those who have or have had any heart problems, their families, friends, and interested persons. You need not have had heart disease to become a member or the Mended Hearts.
Mended Hearts was founded in 1951 by four post-operative surgical patients at a hospital in Boston who wanted to share their experience and calm fears in others who have either had surgery or were facing surgery. Under the guidance of Dwight E. Harken, M.D., Cardiologist, they set guidelines and procedures for the forming of Mended Hearts and incorporated in 1955 with a motto..... "It's Great to Be Alive" ..... and Help Others!
We have grown to an international status, with heart support groups based on Mended Hearts in 8-10 countries around the world. Where there is no chapter affiliation, we have MAL's (MEMBERS-AT-LARGE).
In the beginning, we designated surgical patients as active members, while associate members consisted of our families, friends, physicians, cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, nurses, clergymen, or anyone else interested in the Mended Hearts' objectives and goals. Today, although we do keep a record of those who have had heart problems, we make no distinction between members. We are all members of The Mended Hearts, Inc.

Photographed by Richard Burbridge for V Magazine, Anok Yai opens the Magazine's year of 2019 in a bold, fashionable look.
Dedicated to Sparkling Utilitarianism, Anok Yai layers fashion's latest off the runway ensembles with the boldest and most dazzling sets of jewelry and accessories.
From a harness by Zana Bayne to a Hat Clyde clear plastic jacket, a Swarovski body piece and several other pieces by design names such as Salvatore Ferragamo, Kaufman, Tiffany & Co., Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Miu Miu, the editorial which is the Magazine's Spring 2019 Issue is filled with a long list of designer names.
The fashion editorial pairs sparkles with soft, earth tone colors. The editorial is sadly not a made for Nigeria look, because for one the hot weather and the plastic jacket may not see eye to eye. If worn as separates, it would work exceptionally good for almost every occasion. The Salvatore Ferragamo overalls and the Louis Vuitton jacket and pants will make for a fashionable and stylish look to events.
