text: Montreal Canadiens at Toronto Maple Leafs odds, picks and prediction NHL Opening Day 2021 schedule: How to watch hockey this week | TV, time, free live stream The Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs open the 2020-21 NHL regular season against each other Wednesday for a 7 p.m. ET puck drop at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. Below, we analyze the Canadiens-Maple Leafs NHL betting odds and lines, with picks and predictions.Canadiens at Maple Leafs: Betting odds, spread and lines.Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports' betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 5:52 a.m. ET. Carey Price (27-25-6, .909 SV%, 2.79 GAA) at Frederik Andersen (29-13-7, .909 SV%, 2.85 GAA)Price is expected to be the starting backstop for the opener, and that's bad news for the Leafs. Last season he posted a 3-0-0 record with a 2.58 GAA and .912 SV% in three starts against Toronto. Price is expected to see more rest this season after the team inked veteran G Jake Allen to serve as his understudy this season. Andersen, who is entering the final year of his contract with the Maple Leafs, is hopeful of getting off to a good start. The 31-year Danish backstop was actually better on the road last season than at home, going 13-7-6 with a 3.03 GAA and .904 SV% in 28 starts at Scotiabank Arena. He actually didn't face the Habs last season after going 3-0-1 with a 3.14 GAA and .918 SV% against them in 2018-19, and 3-0-0 with a 1.66 GAA and .950 SV% in 2017-18. He hasn't lost to the Habs over his past seven starts since an overtime loss at home on Feb. 25, 2017.

Bet now!Despite Price's recent success against the them in 2019-20, the MAPLE LEAFS (-145) are still the play at home, and you won't have to munch a lot of chalk. Yes, Montreal has won four in a row in this series, but it has won just once in the past five trips to Toronto, and the favorite is 19-7 across the past 26 meetings with the home side coming out ahead in four of the previous five battles. I am not confident enough to bet puck lines right off the bat to begin a new season. Given Montreal's success against Toronto last season, you shouldn't be, The OVER 6.5 (+100) is rather pricey. It will be interesting to see how both of the teams respond playing inside a barren 19,800-seat arena which is usually packed to the gills for this heated Canadian rival game. These teams got a taste of playing meaningful games with no fans in the bubble last summer, but it's still something that is hard to get used to without that energy to feed off. Even so, we should see plenty of fireworks on the ice as the Over has cashed in five of the previous six meetings. Hockey is back, and your favorite teams will hit the ice starting Wednesday, January 13 (1/13/2021) to kick off the shortened 56-game season as the NHL continues to navigate the Covid-19 pandemic.Teams in the newly-formed North, Central, East and West divisions will played in one of 15 opening games between Wednesday and Thursday, January 14 (1/14/2021).NHL Games are broadcast on a variety of regional sports networks and national networks depending on the team, the matchup and the region. Navigating which team is on which channel when — and where to stream it — can be a challenge, but for Opening Day, at least, we have you covered. For games on regional NBC and Fox sports networks, such as MSG or NESN, you are unlikely to be able to watch the game on TV, or a Live TV streaming service, out of market. Instead, NHL Center Ice is your best choice for catching as many out of market games as you can all season long.Here's the full 2021 NHL Opening Day lineup on TV and live streaming services. All times ET:When the NHL charter flight back from the Edmonton bubble landed in New Jersey, Gary Bettman's phone started ringing. The commissioner thought he'd get a couple of weeks to exhale after awarding the Stanley Cup to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Instead, it was back to work.Of course, planning for the 2021 season began well before late September. It took a longterm extension of the collective bargaining agreement between the league and players' union, layers of health and safety protocols, realigned divisions and convincing multiple government agencies that it is safe to play.The season opens Wednesday and Bettman estimates the league will lose over $1 billion even by playing. It's a gamble everyone was willing to make to keep hockey going during the pandemic. It would be cheaper for us to shut the doors and not play," Bettman said Monday. "We're coming back to play this season because we think it's important for the game, because our fans and our players want us to, and it may give people, particularly those who are back in isolation or where there are curfews, a sense of normalcy and something to do. None of the four major North American men's professional sports leagues rely as much on attendance as the NHL: Roughly 50% of all revenue comes from ticket sales, concessions and other in-arena elements. That's why the league and players prioritized extending the CBA before completing last season in twin playoff bubbles; they knew no fans slashes revenue for everyone.The agreement gave the NHL a blueprint to operate and labor peace through at least 2026. You always have to make judgments about what you think the future's going to hold and how do you attempt to maximize the benefits and minimize the detriments, mitigate your risks, take advantage of opportunities and so on," NHLPA executive director Don Fehr said in a phone interview. "I think the agreement that we reached last summer, certainly from the players' standpoint, was fair and reasonable and appropriate, and took all of those things into account. And I don't second guess it." Living by the terms of that agreement means some short-term pain for owners now, and Bettman warned recently that players could have to repay some money later based on the 50/50 split of revenue. But that was just one part of the puzzle of pulling all this together, which started with when to begin play and how to do it.With the clock ticking down in mid-December, the sides agreed to open training camps for most teams just after Jan. 1 and drop the puck Jan. 13. Each team is scheduled to play 56 all divisional games during the regular season set to run until May 8, though the Dallas Stars' outbreak and delayed start has already forced the question of how to handle various situations. There's no hard and fast rule on how many positive test results would endanger a game and the addition of taxi squads of four to six players mitigates the risk. Watching other leagues postpone and reschedule games has helped, as has regular communication among medical experts.We've had the opportunity to learn a lot from each other because there's so little science behind what's going on because it's happened so quickly," NHL chief medical officer Dr. Winne Meeuwisse said. "Everything from infection control to testing strategies, how we interpret test results, how we act on positives, how we manage cases are all things that that we share on an anonymous basis so that we are able to refine what we do and do the best job we can of keeping the players and everybody around the game safe." Players are tested daily and all arenas except for three — Florida Panthers, Arizona Coyotes and the Stars — will not have fans as the season gets going. The league realigned its teams to include an all-Canadian division to avoid border crossing hassle; questions remain about where the San Jose Sharks will play home games because of a ban on team sports in Santa Clara County, California. Expected and unforeseen problems will come up, but officials who were optimistic the entire way through negotiations to get to this point are confident the NHL can again get to the finish line.We've watched what's happened in in the other sports and they've had their issues and been able to get through it, and I'm pretty sure we'll be able to do it," Fehr said. Bettman agreed there will be bumps along the way, and deputy commissioner Bill Daly doesn't expect widespread vaccination of players to alleviate concerns before the end of this season. Just like the bubble, the NHL wants to get through this season with hopes of brighter days — and full arenas — ahead.What's aspirational is we get through the season, we have an on-ice terrific season, great playoffs, we present the Stanley Cup and the world is back to normal for the '21-22 season," Bettman said. "Anything beyond that would be great."

Q: What am I doing wrong with FormArray? In my form I will have the following elements:

*

*input (checkbox)

*code (span)

*name (span)

These values come from the server, which is why it is added dynamically.
However, I face the following problem with my algorithm:
core.js: 6228 ERROR Error: Cannot find a differ supporting object '[object Object]' of type 'object'. NgFor only supports binding to Iterables such as Arrays.

Only this error does not make sense, because the console is showing the values correctly and the guy is an Array:

MAIN COMPONENT
@Component({
    selector: 'zx-create-country-form',
    templateUrl: './create-country-form.component.html',
    styleUrls: ['./create-country-form.component.scss'],
})
export class CreateCountryFormComponent implements OnInit {
    createCountryForm!: FormGroup;
    dataTemp = [
        {
            code: 'BR',
            name: {
                pt_BR: 'Brasil',
            },
        },
        {
            code: 'TST',
            name: {
                pt_BR: 'tst3',
            },
        },
    ];

    constructor(protected readonly componentService: ComponentService, protected readonly formBuilder: FormBuilder) {
        this.createCountryForm = formBuilder.group({
            countries: formBuilder.array(this.addCountries()),
        });
    }

    ngOnInit(): void {}

    addCountries(): FormGroup[] {
        const formsGroups: FormGroup[] = [];

        this.dataTemp.map(country => {
            formsGroups.push(
                this.formBuilder.group({
                    radio: this.formBuilder.control([{ value: false, disabled: true }], [Validators.requiredTrue]),
                    code: this.formBuilder.control(country.code, [Validators.required, Validators.minLength(1), Validators.maxLength(2)]),
                    name: this.formBuilder.control(country.name.pt_BR),
                })
            );
        });

        return formsGroups;
    }
}

CHILD COMPONENT
<zx-form [fmGroup]="fmGroup">
    <div [formArrayName]="fmArrayName" *ngFor="let country of fmGroup.controls.countries; let i = index">
        <div [formGroupName]="i">
            <input formControlName="radio" placeholder="Item name" />
            <input formControlName="code" placeholder="Item name" />
            <input formControlName="name" placeholder="Item name" />
            eqqe
        </div>
    </div>
</zx-form>

A: see you
countries: formBuilder.array(this.addCountries()),

this.addCountries must return an Array of FormGroups. If you use map, you get a new array in witch element is a transform of the original array. So
return this.dataTemp.map(country =>
                this.formBuilder.group({
                    radio: this.formBuilder.control([{ value: false, disabled: true }], [Validators.requiredTrue]),
                    code: this.formBuilder.control(country.code, [Validators.required, Validators.minLength(1), Validators.maxLength(2)]),
                    name: this.formBuilder.control(country.name.pt_BR),
                })
        );

Using a forEach, you loop over the array and make "something" with each element, as you are trying
    const formsGroups: FormGroup[] = [];

    this.dataTemp.forEach(country => {
        formsGroups.push(
            this.formBuilder.group({
                radio: this.formBuilder.control([{ value: false, disabled: true }], [Validators.requiredTrue]),
                code: this.formBuilder.control(country.code, [Validators.required, Validators.minLength(1), Validators.maxLength(2)]),
                name: this.formBuilder.control(country.name.pt_BR),
            })
        );
    });

Another point of attention is how iterate in the .html, you need iterate over the controls of the form Array, for this, create a getter of the array
get myArrayForm()
{
     return this.fmGroup.get('fmArrayName') as FormArray
}

And iterate over myArrayForm.controls, but get out the formArray name, and see that it's not enclosed by []
<div formArrayName="fmArrayName">
   <div *ngFor="let country of myArrayForm.controls; let i = index">
        <div [formGroupName]="i">
            <input formControlName="radio" placeholder="Item name" />
            <input formControlName="code" placeholder="Item name" />
            <input formControlName="name" placeholder="Item name" />
            eqqe
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Really it's not good explain in the official docs, but you can see,e.g. this Netanel Basal's entry
Updated to validae if at least one of the elements of the array is true we need create a custom validation of the own array you can create the validator in the own component
  atLeastOne()
  {
    return (formArray:FormArray)=>{
      return formArray.value && formArray.value.filter(x=>x.radio).length<=0?
            {error:"At least one"}:null
    }
  }

And you use when you create the form
createCountryForm = this.formBuilder.group({
    countries: this.formBuilder.array(this.addCountries(), this.atLeastOne())
  });

NOTE: When we create a custom validator over a FormArray, we need take account that this is checked each time the formArray (or any of this FormGroups or Forms controls change)

COVID-19 Response Continues - Baltimore Community Foundation
Eric Jackson of Black Yield Institute hands out produce at an emergency food distribution
COVID-19 Response Continues
By BCF
What We're Doing
Donate to the COVID-19 Evolving Community Needs Fund
In March, as a wave of novel coronavirus cases shuttered schools and businesses, BCF rapidly launched the COVID-19 Evolving Community Needs Fund. The Fund was designed to meet immediate, intermediate, and long-range needs arising from what we knew—even then—would be a challenge unlike any we had ever faced. In just a few short months, generous individuals, families, foundations, and corporations contributed nearly $2.2 million to the effort.
In the first phase of our response, from March to June 2020, BCF awarded more than $912,000 to 88 organizations. These grants supported urgent needs like food assistance, credible information distribution, remote learning technology, mental health counseling, and workforce programs, among others. Students and their families, seniors, immigrants, and other vulnerable groups in Baltimore City and Baltimore County were cared for with food and essential supply distributions by a host of nonprofit partners, including The Movement Team in Baltimore City and Student Support Network in Baltimore County. HeartSmiles provided peer-to-peer mental health training for youth leaders, while hundreds of city residents were engaged in workforce development training to serve as contract tracers on the front lines of this global health emergency. COVID-19 Evolving Community Needs Fund grants also supported remote enrichment programming from nonprofits such as Arts Every Day, the Maryland Book Bank, and Improving Education. Those working to combat intimate partner violence and child abuse received additional resources to adapt and respond to people without the option to safely shelter in place. These are only a small sampling of the nonprofits that received support in the first phase of BCF's COVID-19 Evolving Community Needs Fund grantmaking. A full list can be found at bcf.org/EvolvingNeedsFund. Much of our early grantmaking was conducted through the COVID-19 Response Funding Collaborative of Greater Baltimore. Together, with more than a dozen other funders, we reviewed proposals through a central application portal and were able to leverage our dollars to ensure that our resources had the greatest impact without duplicating efforts. When the Collaborative application process closed as planned in late May, BCF staff began gathering feedback from community partners to develop our strategy for a longer-term response. In July, BCF launched a COVID-19 Response Task Force made up of six BCF board trustees and staffed by Laurie Latuda Kinkel, BCF's vice president of strategy, to guide future COVID-19 response grantmaking.
The Evolving Need: Education Equity
Almost immediately, the group honed in on the education equity implications of the crisis. Prior to the pandemic, BCF-funded research by The Education Trust had identified dramatic racial gaps in student outcomes, which were the direct result of disparities in school funding and access to opportunities. With the need to pivot to remote learning in the spring, the loss of in-person instruction time and summer programs, and the likelihood that most school systems would remain virtual in the fall, we saw the potential for already unacceptable inequities to be blown wide open. In early September, the COVID-19 Response Task Force awarded $1,000,000 to 24 organizations providing devices, internet connectivity, and technical support; subsidized child care for school-age children; take-home education and recreation kits; and support services like food assistance, rental assistance, and mental health counseling. Among the second-round grantees were community-based organizations like Elev8, which has deep relationships with families and will offer one-on-one and small-group tutoring, as well as home visits, to ensure students remain on track. We also supported organizations reaching especially vulnerable populations, including the Family Crisis Center, which will provide an academic support specialist and devices to children in their emergency shelter and transitional housing center. We look forward to providing more details on the second phase of our COVID-19 response in the coming months, as we strive to ensure every child has the opportunity to learn and sustain emotional, mental, and physical health at a distance.

They will do anything for work. Values? What Values? Don't tell us you are a democrat. How many people have been killed on both sides of the war? And you want to do community service. Aren't you nice?

"When I was a girl and we drove past the coal mines it seemed like a storybook to me," the lead character of "Big Stone Gap," rather amusingly named Ave Maria Mulligan, says at the beginning of this movie, written and directed by Adriana Trigiani and based on her popular novel of the same name. The movie's title is also the name of the small town in Virginia it depicts and was apparently shot in. "Life was simple" there, Ave Maria tells us, and we can believe it.
Ave Maria, played by Ashley Judd, relates to the viewer that in 1978, the year she turned 40, she was the official town spinster of Big Stone Gap. Although for the first twenty minutes or so, one gets the impression she doesn't seem to mind much. She's the director of the town's annual theatrical production of "The Trail Of The Lonesome Pine" and rehearsals are going well and the show is close to selling out. She is capable of flirting productively with the town's best looking eligible bachelor Jack (Patrick Wilson) and has solid friendships with other fellows in the town, including theater cohort Theodore (John Benjamin Hickey). She has nifty female pals played by Whoopi Goldberg and Jenna Elfman. She's friend to the local outcast young woman Pearl. She lives in a big old house with her wonderful, Italian-accented mom.
Who, alas, dies in the aforementioned first twenty minutes. "No one worries about you like your mother," Ave Maria says in voiceover. "You can't turn to her anymore and it changes your life forever." Ain't it the truth. Also changing Ave Maria's life: the revelation of a family secret, the threats of a nasty quasi-in-law, and the prospect of Jack's marriage to a local hotsy-totsy who's such a hotsy-totsy that she actually goes by the name "Sweet Sue" (Jane Krakowski). And turning the whole town's head is the prospect of a visit from a senatorial candidate named John Warner and his movie star wife Elizabeth Taylor. (And yes, this event is a historical fact, and a somewhat notorious one, as the movie shows, or as you can find out via a computer search engine).
The movie ambles along amiably enough for a while; it's better if you are a fan of one or more members of the cast. Judd brings her "Where The Heart Is"/"A Time To Kill" A-game to the proceedings, Goldberg doesn't overdo her friendly comedy relief, Elfman is bubbly, Krakowski dry, Wilson handsome. Jasmine Guy turns up, looking rather remarkably like Ruby Dee. The movie puts its foot in a big pile of goofy when the character of "Elizabeth Taylor" makes herself known as a bouffy wig on actress Dagmara Dominczyk, always shot from behind. This coincides with a ramping up of the movie's romantic comedy content, and if you are not on board by this time, you might find yourself nodding in vigorous, non-ironic agreement with Goldberg's character at the point when she observes, "This is the dumbest wedding I've ever seen."

How to handle starting pitchers in 2019 was a topic I discussed throughout the season, as there were many high selections felled by injury or ineffectiveness. By looking at the pitchers who surprised this season, it's apparent fantasy owners can find impactful arms later in drafts who can help your roster. As we have done throughout, the pitchers who disappointed will be based off of their average draft position from March.
1. Washington Nationals Starting Pitcher Stephen Strasburg - The right-hander had the worst season of his career, as he finished with a 3.74 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 1.2 home runs per nine innings. Not only did Strasburg deal with ineffectiveness, but he once again had injury issues. The 30-year-old started just 22 games, a career low total which led to him throwing 130 innings. Strasburg has always been an injury risk yet is consistently drafted high. The righty had an average draft position of 25 and was being taken as the fifth starting pitcher, according to FantasyPros.com. If we are investing that much in a player, we need to know they are durable. Strasburg is not.
2. Pittsburgh Pirates Starting Pitcher Chris Archer - Frequent readers of our "Three Up, Three Down" column know that Archer's name finds himself on the "Three Down" lists quite often. For a pitcher who has struggled the last couple of years, Archer still finds himself drafted as a top-20 starting pitcher. It was once again another below-average season, as Archer was traded from the Tampa Bay Rays to the Pirates in July and continued to struggle in a different uniform. Archer finished this season with a 4.31 ERA and 1.38 WHIP and has now finished three straight seasons with an ERA higher than four. I think fantasy owners need to take the approach that Archer is just an average pitcher and hopefully his draft day stock will reflect that.
3. Cleveland Indians Reliever Cody Allen - The closer position is always volatile, which is why investing high draft picks is always a risky proposition. Allen was one of the best closers during recent seasons. He entered 2018 with a streak of 30 saves or more for three straight years and an ERA under 3.00 for five straight years. However, it was a rough 2018: Allen finished with just 27 saves and pitched to a 4.70 ERA. The veteran was drafted as the sixth closer in March, but came nowhere near providing that value this season.
4. Chicago Cubs Starting Pitcher Jose Quintana - It was a below-average season for the left-hander, as Quintana finished with a 4.03 ERA and 1.32 WHIP. Quintana did make 31 starts, but he pitched just 169.1 innings. The 29-year-old was drafted as 19th starting pitcher in March, but he didn't come close to performing at that level. This was the second straight season Quintana finished with an ERA over 3.00 which just doesn't cut it in fantasy, especially when we are drafting that player as one of our top starting pitchers.


Saturday - The Tour Lafitte that wasn't....which resulted in a 5 mile bike ride instead!
Thursday - Finished work on the flowerbeds - all of the weeds are gone, YAY!
After my first run last week, I realized that I'm going to need to get back into my PT routine if I want my return to running to be as smooth as possible. For Monday's workout, I incorporated my PT routine (squats/lunges/legs) with a little cardio and some core workouts. Hopefully this will help my IT band behave as it should!
Tuesday's run was kind of interesting as I came across a garter snake in the road. Although he's not poisonous, I want nothing to do with snakes so I stayed far away!
Also, my pace is nowhere near where I'd like it to be but let's be honest - this was only my 2nd run since having a baby and it will get there. I'm not worried about it as I did take this run easy with a 3:2 run/walk ratio. I'll continue doing the run/walk method until I feel comfortable pushing my pace again.
I do anticipate a run tomorrow - I may even try to get 4 miles in...we shall see!
What's your weekend plans? Any races going on?
Eeek! Funny you saw a snake since I just posted about that on Wednesday. Glad it wasn't a poisonous one! I forgot Tinkerbell was this weekend. That really was a great race. I wish Disneyland wasn't so far away!
I thought that was funny too! This was the first snake I've seen this year!
You're doing so great getting back into running and fitness Karen!!!! I'm with you....don't like snakes at all! Happy first Mother's Day girl!!! Hope it's great!!!
Happy Mother's Day mama! Hope you enjoy your special day with your boys!
Yay for getting back at it! No races but we have a Happy Hour party, 2 weddings & Mother's Day this weekend!
That sounds like a fun weekend, Traci!! Enjoy!
Doing the PT work is a good idea. You will get your running fitness back, it is good to be patient, but that is always easier to say than do!
Planning to do 6 miles tomorrow. I haven't run that far since the CCC!


Once upon a time, there was a father who loved his son very much. So much in fact that he "protected" his son by hiding the mother's dementia. The father thought he could care for the mother, the home and the cats by himself, and he did for a while...and then he passed away suddenly.
It took local authorities hours to contact the son because the parents did not have his name and phone number in an easily accessible location, the neighbors didn't have it and the mother couldn't remember it. When the son finally learned of his father's passing, he immediately loaded up his family and drove the several hours to his parents. When he arrived, he found a mother with dementia and a house in disarray. And the next day, it took his wife eight hours to find life insurance policies and other needed documentation.
Now the mother lives with the son, his wife, his two active boys and the dogs. She is grieving the loss of her husband, trying to adapt to new surroundings (and struggling) and learning how to live in a busy household which is completely foreign to her (she has dementia, she is neurologically unable to learn, how do you think she's faring?). The son and his family are adapting to life with Grandma and if adding a fifth person to the household wasn't hard enough, Grandma is also an Alzheimer's patient. The lives of this extended family have been turned upside down because a father wanted to "protect" his son. It is hard, it is messy and it has only just begun.
Don't let this story be yours.
Momma, in her lucid moment, admitted that she was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's in 2001. She & dad decided to move 420 miles away to protect us. So they had over 13yrs to prepare and did not....we had a couple of months of a crash course on dementia. It has been a nightmare for all of us.....a double punch for her son (my husband.). With many prayers, help from friends, and sleepless nights, we made the decision to place her in a memory care facility.
There is a lot of guilt.....a lot of what ifs.....a lot of wishing they would have prepared and prepared us....a lot of wishing they would have enjoyed their last days living close to us.
Many thanks to Jill for being a great friend and mentor.

Donbass () was a Soviet Emba-class tanker sunk by the  on 7 November 1942, when it was on its way from Arkhangelsk to Reykjavík.

The case aroused considerable later interest due to the widely held assertion that the Soviet  spy Arnold Deutsch was among the passengers killed in the attack, and that he was at the time bound for an espionage mission in the Western Hemisphere.

Legacy
Three American tankers received by the Soviet Union through the Lend-Lease were renamed in her honor.

Educated Black Lives Also Matter-All Good Schools Help Our Kids
by Kevin Chavous
BLM & NAACP shouls embrace more options for our kids, not less
Several years ago, I met legendary Chicago educator, the late Marva Collins, at a Georgia Charter School conference in Atlanta. During lunch, I asked Collins about her then-controversial support of charter schools.  She matter-of-factly stated that she supports all good schools that work for kids. She further said that she doesn't get distracted by the type of school. She went on to say that we lose too many kids to bad schools therefore, she emphasized, we should mimic all great schools that work, even charter schools.
I sure wish that Black Lives Matter and today's NAACP (groups that I support) could talk with Marva Collins. Amid lingering racial challenges, growing income disparities and widening political gulfs, both groups have helped to cast education as an either/or proposition. Either you educate kids their way, through the one system that they support, or you are wrong. Hence, their stance against charter schools really extends beyond their call for a moratorium on charter schools. These groups have designated themselves as gatekeepers for black parents as to what form of education is acceptable.
In addition to playing the role of education decider for the black community, these groups are seemingly more motivated by the politics of the day than by the quality of black kids' learning environment. Marva Collins was right: With the educational disparities facing our community, less is not more. Our kids learn best when we embrace any and all learning modalities to fit their needs.
But we also need to respect our parents. I value the role of parents in the education of their kids. We do not have the luxury nor do we have the right to dictate to parents which learning modality they should pick–especially if they think it will help their child learn. Rather, we should endeavor to provide the public with as many diverse options as possible. Those options are essential in addressing the growing diverse needs of today's student. Once we go down the road of limiting those options–particularly those with a proven track record of success–or deciding for parents what options they have, we move down the slippery slope of doing more harm than good.
Right now, over a million kids are on charter school waiting lists. Each of those families views the specific school they have applied to as THE school that would help their child learn. Instead of talking about moratoriums, Black Lives Matter and the NAACP should be gleaning the best practices from those charter schools that are working and try as best they can to replicate them. Just like Marva Collins said to me.
A Learning Culture Leads to Great Schools
A critical issue facing America concerns how we best prepare our future generations for the world of tomorrow while mired in this current, combative political environment. The education of our children represents a big part of the answer to that question. The best way to get our kids educated is to think expansively and not constrictively. That is why I speak more and more about building a learning culture in our community. Somehow, we must motivate kids to want to learn as opposed to telling them they need an education. When kids are fired up about learning, there will be less focus on replacing or saving our education system. Great schools will grow from the public demand for superior education options.
The current debate over the utility of charter schools is good for the black community. It also gives us an opportunity. The tension serves to excite what's possible in education for our children. We must, however, rise above the increasingly toxic, knee-jerk politics of education. After all, educated black lives also matter.
Kevin P. Chavous is an attorney, author, national education reform leader. Â He also is a former member of the D.C. Council. He recently released his third book, Building A Learning Culture in America.

Никола Пол Стефан Саркози де Нађ-Боча (; Париз, 28. јануар 1955) француски је политичар, бивши председник Републике Француске и ко-кнез Андоре, као и председник конзервативне партије Унија за народни покрет. Бивши је министар унутрашњих послова Француске (до 26. марта 2007). Надимак му је Сарко.

На председничким изборима 2007. године Саркози је победио Сеголен Роајал у другом кругу председничких избора са 53% гласова. Дана 6. маја 2007. године наследио је Жака Ширака поставши 23. председник Француске.

На председничким изборима 2012. године Саркози је изгубио од Франсоа Оланда у другом кругу председничких избора са разликом од 3% гласова. После ових избора повукао се из политичког живота.

Порекло
Рођен је 28. јануара 1955. године у Паризу. Никола Саркози је други син оца мађарског племића Пала Иштвана Ерна Саркозија де Нађ-Боче и мајке Францускиње Андрее Мала.
Деда по мајци Николе Саркозија био је Арон Малах, ладински Јеврејин, по струци лекар, пореклом из Солуна у Грчкој. Његова супруга (Саркозијева баба) је била Францускиња Адел Бувије (-{Adèle Bouvier}-) која је била католичке вере, под чијим утицајем је и сам Арон прешао у католицизам. Живели су у француском граду Лиону и имали две кћерке - Сузану и Андре, која је заправо мајка француског председника.

Образовање
Никола Саркози је основну школу учио у Паризу у школи -{Chaptal de Neuilly}-. Године 1967. је понављао шести разред, након чега се уписао у приватну школу -{Saint-Louis de Monceau}-, где је стекао и средње образовање 1973. године. Годину дана касније постао је члан политичке партије Унија Демократа за Републику.

Никола Саркози се образовао за адвоката и студирао је на Универзитету Париз 10 у Нантеру. Није успео да заврши школу за спољну политику због недовољног познавања енглеског језика.

Унутрашња политика
Никола Саркози је своју политичку популарност стекао вршећи дужност министра унутрашњих послова Француске. Нестабилна међуетничка ситуација у држави и ескалације сукоба у предграђима великих градова између емиграната и полиције довела је до тога да велики број Француза види Саркозија као лидера који може да заустави безвлашће и уведе ред. Углавном га подржавају гласачи националистичких и десничарских опредељења. С друге стране, готово сви емигранти, али и велики део либералних Француза подржавају Социјалистичку партију Сеголен Роајал. Такође, као по правилу, социјалисте подржавају и радници у државном сектору (у железници, на пример), који уживају извесне повластице у односу на раднике приватног сектора, који Саркози тежи да смањи у великој мери. Занимљивост је да Француска никада у својој новијој историји није била тако дубоко политички подељена као данас.

Саркозијева популарност је нагло опала након његовог венчавања са Карлом Бруни. Пажњу француске јавности су привукли и Саркозијеви испади на форуму пољопривреде у Паризу, када је рекао једном од учесника форума "Ајде бежи, глупа будало", након што је овај одбио да се поздрави са њим добацивши му "да га не додирује, јер га прља". На локалним изборима одржаним марта 2008. године, странка Николе Саркозија као и читава француска десница претрпели су пораз, освојивши око 40 посто гласова.

Спољна политика
Саркози хоће да се одреде будуће границе Европске уније, да би се тачно знало које државе имају право да буду чланице. Сматра да Турска не треба да буде чланица ЕУ, пошто се налази у Азији.
Никола Саркози је глобалиста и његова политика је окренута према САД, за разлику од Жака Ширака, који је више био окренут Азији. Са доласком Саркозија на власт, Француска је поправила захладнеле односе са САД, који су били угрожени пре свега због противљења Француске рату у Ираку.

Приватни живот
Никола Саркози је склопио први брак 23. септембра 1982. са Мари Доминик Кулиоли. Из тог брака има два сина: Пјер је рођен 1985. године, а Жан - 1987. Формални развод је уследио 1996. године, иако супружници тада већ пар година нису живели заједно.

Никола Саркози се 1996. године венчао са Сесилијом Сиганер Албениз, која је заправо била супруга једног његовог пријатеља. Њихов заједнички син Луј је рођен 1997. Сесилија је била изасланик свога мужа на преговорима о ослобађању бугарског медицинског особља у Либији 2007. Октобра исте године су се формално развели, док дуже време нису живели у заједници. Упркос њиховом брачном стању, Сесилија се појавила на прослави поводом избора Саркозија за председника у својству његове супруге.

Другог фебруара 2008. Никола Саркози се оженио италијанско-француском певачицом Карлом Бруни у Паризу. То је први пут да се један француски председник жени током свог мандата.

A bear made its way onto the green of a hole at a Canadian golf course while a few golfers looked on. The animal then danced around with the flag (someone really should've cranked up some music, don't you think?), providing some pure entertainment.
Credit goes to the golfers who stand there taking it all in. We would've been running for our carts and putting the pedal to the metal, topping out at eight miles an hour until we got to the clubhouse.
Maybe this can become a theme -- bears on the green, spiders in the sand and alligators in the water. It's a whole new (terrifying) way to enjoy some time on the links!

Q: Chrome Developer Tools window not appearing I'm having an issue with getting Chrome's Developer Tools to work on my machine.
I've tried both Chrome Version 37.0.2026.0 canary and Version 35.0.1916.114 m and both have slightly different problems - I'm using Windows 8.1.
In the standard installation of Chrome, the Developer Tools options are greyed out. I've searched this everywhere and there is a Google post saying to enable it in your registry settings. When I go into my registry, there is nothing relating to Google in the path they've specified - [http://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#DeveloperToolsDisabled][1]
In the Canary version of Chrome, the Developer Tools options appear and are not greyed out or anything, but absolutely nothing appears when I click it (no window, no error, nothing).
Anyone have any ideas? I've tried restarting the machine, clearing my cache, reinstalling Chrome but no solution..
I'll keep looking for a solution and post it if I find anything!
Thanks in advanced.

A: Ohhhh! I went through my Chrome settings again and noticed that Javascript was being "enforced by my administrator"
I figured out what it was (so stupid): We use Google Apps where I work and it's been disabled in the Admin Console. You definitely pointed me in the right direction though!

If you have the option, choose to walk rather than ride. You'll be surprised how much walking will warm up your body. You'll stay looser and your swing won't suffer.
Walking shall help keep your body warm, but it's equally important to keep your hands warm. Put hand warmers in your pockets. Consider wearing two gloves. You'll want to be sure your hands stay warm so you don't lose any control or finesse over the golf club.
Keep your golf ball warm! Golf balls don't travel as far in cold weather. In fact, you'll lose about 3-5 yards, depending on air density, for every 10 degree drop in temperature. So, keep that ball in your pocket between holes. Easier said than done, but play smart! Don't be afraid to hit an extra club – chances are you'll need it.
This is as important as anything – what you wear. You don't want to bundle up so much that you can't even make a good, full swing. Consider wearing multiple layers. I personally prefer wearing a long sleeve thermal t-shirt, like a poly-pro base layer. Depending on how cold the weather is, try a short/long sleeve golf shirt and then a sweater. And if it's windy, you may even want to wear some sort of light-weight wind breaker. Don't' forget to wear a hat of some sort. I prefer wearing a toboggan hat. Keeping your ears and as much of your face, as warm as possible, will make a noticeable difference.
Be realistic. Chances are you're scoring average will slightly increase during the cold weather months: golf balls don't go as far, it's cold and your body is stiffer, and the numerous other reasonable excuses you could make. Of course, what's important is that you're still playing golf. You enjoy the game so much that little will keep you off the golf course. Consider playing from the tees up since you won't be hitting the ball as far. Or it may be beneficial to play the same tees so you'll have a chance to work on some different shots and club selections. Furthermore, playing through the cold weather months will do wonders for your golf game.
Don't forget, gift cards for any occasion are now available from WGS!
I had come across your site a few months ago. based on your recommendation I ordered a few of the WGS polo style shirts.
I must say they are very comfortable and move well with my swing. I am very satisfied with my purchase!
Thank You Brendon for your comments. I hope you enjoy your polo style shirts. Drop by anytime to leave a comment or to purchase something you need for your golf game!
Many thanks for this informative and interesting review on advising on which is the best golf wear for the avid golfer.
Its important that we are protected from all the elements and still feel comfortable to be able to play a round or two, without having to stop and change our rain gear.
I see that you are covering all the top brands in this post and I am confident that your audience will get what they are looking for in this site.
Thanks Phil for your nice comments.

STOP SHOUTING THE FORECAST! - STOP SHOUTING THE FORECAST! - National Weather Service Heritage
STOP SHOUTING THE FORECAST!
By Chris Geelhart (chris.geelhart@noaa.gov)
In 1928, the Weather Bureau introduced teletype machines in its offices. Teletypes, basically telephone lines connected to typewriters, replaced the telegraph as the primary method for communicating weather information.
Teletypes only allowed the use of upper case letters. Punctuation also was limited; for example, an apostrophe would be represented by a "/" symbol, and a comma was represented by an ellipsis. Hyphens would cause issues as well. Thus, a sentence such as "We're going to have 2-3 inches of snow, and temperatures of -15" would be written as:
"WE/RE GOING TO HAVE 2 TO 3 INCHES OF SNOW...AND TEMPERATURES OF 15 BELOW."
Forecast products in 1967 and 2014 both use the all-caps format.
Teletypes were replaced by the AFOS computer network in the 1980's, and yet the all-caps format persisted. While an AFOS terminal could have text entered in mixed case, it was forced to upper case when saved. And when AFOS was replaced by the AWIPS computer network in the late 1990's, the upper case format refused to die.
As the Internet and E-mail became commonplace and made the teletype obsolete, the use of all-caps became synonymous with angry shouting. Recognizing this, the NWS proposed the use of mixed case a number of times beginning in the 1990's, but it took more 20 years to phase out the last of the old equipment that only recognized teletype format.
After some limited testing at specific offices, the NWS finally began allowing for mixed-case products on May 11, 2016. The format began with less critical products such as Area Forecast Discussions and Public Information Statements, then transitioned to severe weather warnings and forecasts. However, some products with international implications, such as aviation forecasts, remain in upper case per international agreements that standardize weather product formats across national borders.

Steamship Company Shareholders get concerned about the costs of the Mali Rose
Letter from Steamship Company shareholders to:
Andrew Allen BSc FCA
Partner, PKF Francis Clark
Email: andrew.allen@pkf-francisclark.co.uk
Dear Mr Allen,
We are shareholders in the Isles of Scilly Steamship Company Limited ("ISSG") and we are writing to you as the external auditors of the accounts of ISSG.
We, along with many other shareholders and islanders, have become increasingly concerned with the management of ISSG under the leadership of Andrew May.
We believe that the Board of ISSG is failing to prioritise its primary role of securing adequate and long term sea passenger and freight service solutions to the islands, despite multiple public statements and promises to the contrary going back many years.
We have serious concerns regarding the decision to purchase the Mali Rose in 2016 and the ongoing investment into that vessel by ISSG, when we believe it is not, and will not be, suitable for the Penzance - Scilly route. The purchase was announced with great fanfare in 2016. In Mr May's statement to shareholders dated July 2017, he stated "At the time of writing the Mali Rose is on the cusp of entering service. Once she has settled into her routine the marine team plan to turn their attention once again to the Scillonian IV project" and yet the Mali Rose is still not in service.
We are concerned that further extensive investment by ISSG into the Mali Rose represents good money after bad and we believe that ISSG's accounts for the year ended 31st March 2018 should properly reflect the actual realisable value of the Mali Rose through impairment of the asset on the balance sheet, that she should be sold and that the Board should urgently seek to invest instead in a suitable replacement to ensure the long term provision of reliable freight services to the islands.
We ask that ISSG's external auditors and the Audit Committee of ISSG should fulfil their duties to provide a true and fair view in ISSG's accounts of the long term viability of the Mali Rose by seeking a fully independent professional valuation from a well recognised expert selected and approved by the firm's auditors, independently of the Board.
We have copied this email to non-executive directors Mr Peter Hardaker and Mr Diccon Rogers, who we believe, from the last set of annual accounts of ISSG, to be on the audit committee of ISSG, and non-executive directors Mr Mark Howarth and Mr Sam Hicks. Copy also to members of the Advisory Board.
Please acknowledge receipt of this letter.

Magnesium is found in so many healthy whole foods like beans, nuts, seeds and green leafy vegetables. In fact, the magnesium element is central to a plant's chlorophyll – it's actually what causes green plants to be green! And most of us just don't get enough green plants into our bodies on a regular basis. (You know I have a recipe with green leafies for you below, right?).

Q: Mocha can't find dependencies for a module being tested Given this ES6 class, where I have a dependency to a publicly-registered package called xethya-random-mtw:

// /src/Dice.js

import MersenneTwister from 'xethya-random-mtw';

class Dice {

  constructor(faces) {
    if (typeof faces !== 'number') {
      throw new Error('Dice#constructor: expected `faces` to be a Number.');
    }

    if (faces < 2) {
      throw new Error('Dice#constructor: A dice must have at least two faces.');
    }

    this.faces = faces;
  }

  roll() {
    const mt = new MersenneTwister();
    return Math.ceil(mt.generateRandom() * this.faces);
  }

}

export default Dice;

I want to run the following tests with Mocha:

// /test/DiceSpec.js

import { expect } from 'chai';
import Dice from '../src/Dice';

describe('Dice', () => {

  describe('#constructor', () => {
    it('should instantiate a Dice with the expected input', () => {
      const dice = new Dice(2);
      expect(dice.faces).to.equal(2);
    });
    it('should fail if a single-faced Dice is attempted', () => {
      expect(() => new Dice(1)).to.throw(/at least two faces/);
    });
    it('should fail if `faces` is not a number', () => {
      expect(() => new Dice('f')).to.throw(/to be a Number/);
    });
  });

  describe('#roll', () => {
    it('should roll numbers between 1 and a given number of faces', () => {
      const range = new Range(1, 100 * (Math.floor(Math.random()) + 1));
      const dice = new Dice(range.upperBound);
      for (let _ = 0; _ < 1000; _ += 1) {
        const roll = dice.roll();
        expect(range.includes(roll)).to.be.true;
      }
    });
  });
});

When I run npm run test, which is mocha --compilers js:babel-register, I get the following error:

$ npm run test

> xethya-dice@0.0.0 test /Users/jbertoldi/dev/joel/xethya-dice
> mocha --compilers js:babel-register

module.js:442
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module 'xethya-random-mtw'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:440:15)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:388:25)
    at Module.require (module.js:468:17)
    at require (internal/module.js:20:19)
    at Object. (/Users/jbertoldi/dev/joel/xethya-dice/src/Dice.js:9:1)
    ...

Why does this dependency not gets resolved correctly?

A: Looks like the problem in the xethya-random-mtw package. In the package.json of this package you have "main": "index.js" while the index.js file is not exist so cannot be resolved. main should contain some real path, e.g. "main": "dist/index.js".


Come with us to a land of fairytale castles, gingerbread and pretzels, woodcarvers, frescoes, elegant music, and a party, all nestled in old-world architecture among green forests and majestic mountains. Our travels take us beyond Germany as we sample local cuisine in a Czech village, or walk the streets of Mozart in Salzburg, Austria. We'll be in historic regions of Brandenburg, Saxony, Franconia; Wittenbrug, where Martin Luther posted his thesis, hear Bach's choir still performing in Leipzig; and wander charming medieval Bamberg and palaces of the Kings.
Our journey begins as we board our international flight bound for Berlin, Germany.
Upon arrival in Berlin we meet our motor coach and driver and embark on an orientation tour of Germany's reunited capital, which is once again considered one of the world's greatest cities. Our tour includes the Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag, now the parliament building of the Federal Republic of Germany, Berlin's showcase avenue Unter den Linden, and the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, a landmark that symbolizes Berlin's recovery from ruin in 1945. We also view a portion of the infamous wall that- divided the city for almost 30 years.
A morning excursion takes us to Potsdam where we visit the Sanssouci Palace (French for "without care"), the beloved summer retreat home of Prussia's King Frederick the Great, a contemporary of George Washington and an "enlightened despot" who combined military adventures with a flair for philosophy and the arts. The palace and the vast garden landscape adjacent to it are now a UNESCO World Heritage site. This afternoon we return to Berlin where we have time at leisure to pursue individual interests. Shoppers will want to check out Ka-De-We (Kaufhaus des Westens, Department Store of the West), a huge store that showcased western affluence in the capitalist island of West Berlin during the Cold War. It has maintained its chic style. Ancient history buffs can visit the Pergamon Museum to view some amazing relics of the past, the Pergamon Altar, the Ishtar Gate from Babylon, and the façade of King Nebuchadnezzar's throne hall. For impressive views of Berlin we have either the dome which tops the Reichstag or the tower at Alexanderplatz. And there are outstanding museums and other sites that chronicle Berlin's turbulent 20th century, among them the Museum of the Wall at Checkpoint Charlie.
We attend worship this morning at St. Thomas Church, renowned for its musical legacy. Here Johann Sebastian Bach served as choir director and organist from 1723 until his death in 1750. We hear the church's boys choir, the Thomanerchor, which Bach directed during his time here. The choir was founded in 1212 and today is one of Germany's finest. This afternoon we drive to Dresden, the capital of Saxony. The Saxon dukes made this the center of German arts and culture during the Baroque era (1700's) and it became known as "Florence on the Elbe." A bombing raid at the end of WW II reduced it to ashes, but now, like the legendary phoenix, the city has risen to regain its rank among Germany's great cities. A walking tour orients us to Dresden's compact city center and the largest outdoor mural in Europe, the "Procession of the Princes." It is 300 feet in length, 30 feet high and made of 24,000 ceramic tiles, almost all of which survived the intense heat of the fire-bombing.
number of visitors is limited.]. But no structure symbolizes Dresden's transformation like the Church of Our Lady (die Frauenkirche). For decades the collapsed church lay in ruins, a pile of rubble that served as a war memorial. Following reunification, rebuilding began and the church was completed in 2005. We attend the popular midday organ service. Dresden lies close to the Czech border, so this afternoon we take an excursion into the Czech Republic, passing through the enchanting "Saxon Switzerland" region. Dinner tonight is a typical Bohemian meal in a Czech village along the border.
We now leave the former East Germany and travel to the city of Bamberg in the Franconia region of Bavaria. We have a guided tour of the city's medieval town center, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Several treasures from the Middle Ages are displayed in the ancient Romanesque cathedral: the marble tombs of the German emperor Henry II and his wife Kunigunde, and the "Bamberg Horseman," a stone carving from the 13th century. Bamberg lies in the heart of Germany's best hops-growing region which naturally makes it the country's number one beer brewing center. The local specialty is Rauchbier ("smoked beer" whose barley has been dried over an open flame to give it the distinctive taste). We have an opportunity to order some as we dine tonight at a local brewery. Stay tonight at the Hotel Bamberger Hof Bellevue.
Continuing southward, our first stop this morning is in Nuremberg, which rose to greatness during the Middle Ages as a residence of German emperors. City walls, moats, and the imposing Kaiserburg (imperial fortress) testify to its glory days. Our time here will include an opportunity to learn about (and purchase!) Nuremberg's famous Lebkuchen (gingerbread). We also visit the Toy Museum, one of the finest of its kind in Europe, which features classic toys from antiquity to the present. From Nuremberg we drive to Munich, the capital of Bavaria and second only to Berlin as a leading German cultural center. After a short orientation, we have some free time in the bustling Marienplatz area before continuing on to our area hotel. Of course, before we depart, we experience the Glockenspiel performance at the New Town Hall. Stay at the Hotel St. Georg.
We return to Munich today with many different avenues to explore. It's Oktoberfest, one of the world's biggest parties! And beyond the beer tents, musical entertainment, sweetly roasted almonds, and carnival rides, the treasures of Munich await. We can visit one of Munich's world famous art galleries or the Deutsches Museum, stroll through the bustling shopping district, sample a traditional Munich white sausage (with sweet mustard, of course) at the food market, tour the residence of the Bavarian royalty and admire the crown jewels, take the subway out to the iconic Olympic grounds of 1972 (the view from the Olympic Tower is spectacular), have a beer at the historic Hofbräuhaus, stop by the amazing little Rococo-style Asam Church, or climb the steeple of St. Peter's Church for a view of the Bavarian Alps (on a clear day!). We won't lack for things to do!
Today we visit the world famous woodcarving village of Oberammergau, home of the Passion Play performed here every ten years. We tour the Passion Play theater and learn how a small village manages this immense production. We also have a woodcarving demonstration with one of the local artisans. After some time to shop and admire the colorful frescoes that decorate homes and stores, we transfer to nearby Linderhof, one of three palaces built by the eccentric Bavarian King Ludwig II in the late 19th century. Linderhof's extravagant interiors testify to this lovely residence being Ludwig's favorite. Our day in the Oberammergau region ends at the Glentleiten Open Air Museum, a working Bavarian farm with many historic buildings from past centuries; it also offers craft demonstrations.
We drive southward into another alpine region this morning. Our destination is Berchtesgaden in its magnificent setting at the foot of towering peaks, among them Germany's second highest, Watzmann. Here we enjoy spectacular scenery while cruising on Germany's cleanest lake, the Königssee. To protect its purity over the last century, only electric boats have been allowed to travel these waters. Following our visit here we drive to nearby Salzburg, Austria, the city of Mozart's birth. A short walking tour orients us to the attractive city center with its Mirabell Garden, magnificent Cathedral, and the residence of the wealthy prince-bishops who ruled over the city. Our tour includes a funicular ride to the imposing Salzburg fortress. We spend our final afternoon in this lovely city before returning to Bad Aibling for our farewell dinner.
We transfer to the Munich airport and board our homebound flight. Auf Wiedersehen!

Is the notes icon hidden anywhere accessible? I haven't found anything in the forums that says it is, and can't see anything in the stylesheet.
I am trying a new workflow, and the difference between empty (grey) and populated (black) notes icons isn't obvious enough for me.
Does anyone know a way of substituting the current populated notes action with an alternative (same size) icon?
Alternatively is there a way of moving the icon to the left of the screen (ahead of the item description) if it is populated?
I can use the show/hide notes keyboard command, but something passive would be preferable.
The keyboard shortcut, Command-' (apostrophe) is your friend.
I agree the icon is tiny, especially to my 52 year old eyes, and it gets obscured by Mountain Lion's finicky scroll bars. However, I rarely need to click it because this keyboard shortcut is handy. IMHO it is a must-learn item.
I suspect I will have to wait for OF2 - only a couple of days to go. I can't make the event, so I have to hope I am included in the 'allowed to participate in Beta' list.


If you use an Optional as the return type of your method, whoever calls the method will be reminded that it might return null. If you use Optionals, you don't need to think about NotFoundExceptions, special return types or JavaDoc comments which state that the method might return null. An Optional says more than a thousand comments!
But an Optional doesn't do one thing: it doesn't answer the question what to do if there is no method result. It just postpones the problem to the caller. This might be OK if null is a quite expected result of the method, but in most cases null means something went wrong. Don't postpone this!
Nice! If there is no Person with the given ID the repository will return an empty Optional and the caller has to deal with it. Technically, this is a nice and clean solution. But from the business perspective it isn't. The real question is: Can it happen that we look for an ID which is not present? If yes, than an Optional is a good solution, but I would doubt that in many case.
Whenever you attempt to load data by its ID, it must be present! There are hardly any cases where you guess or search for an ID. Such IDs are like references or pointers in a programming language: they must point to something and returning an ID which points to nothing is a very bad idea. A typical situation where you load data by its ID goes like this: You provide a list of data (maybe a result of a search) and you provide a detail view on a single entry. So, you show the list in your UI and on a click on of the elements, the details of ID XYZ-123 are shown. This set of data must be there! Don't use an optional here!
Back in the days (which means before Java 8), there was a rule which said that you shall never return null. This rule was always a bit tricky to follow as it might lead to a lot of hidden traps. People started to return empty objects, special objects, return codes and other crazy stuff. If you did this in the past and you are using Optionals now, you definitely improved! But you should still ask you, why there might be no result and if it is OK to have no result. Not only from a technical perspective but also from the business perspective.
Optional is just a new name for null.
The actual use case for Optionals is functional programming in Java 8. If you use this, you will filter, map or reduce data and you will often come to the point where there might be the possibility that no data exists. It's a good idea to use Optionals here, as you often write this code in a fluent style. A null pointer is really ugly to handle here. But the main difference is another: You do a search or filtering which perfectly could have no result. This is the main point for using an Optional. Don't use an Optional, because you don't want to deal with null (you need to do it anyway later!), use it because you have a really good reason to return null.
Returning an optional in a repository is actually more common that you might think. For example when doing cross-table lookup (foreign keys anyone?).
As an example, consider a table for storing books and another for storing the current borrower of the book. If someone wanted to borrow the book, Optionals come in handy if we wanted to check if someone has already borrowed the book. The borrower may or may not be present.
This is a common practice these days that two tables are connected via a common column, so it is actually more common to use optionals for finding things in repositories.
First: I hate my captcha plugin. Really. I will get a new one. I promise.
Second: I really like your example and I totally share your opinion. A book can be borrowed or not – that's optional. Using an optional to represent this scenario is perfect. However, my thought was this: Let's say you want to find a particular book. You have two ways. On way is searching for the book which might return no result (or many, depends on the actual implementation). The other way is to load the book from the repository by it's ID. Imagine a list of books where the users clicks on one of the books to see a detail view. In this case it's an error if the book doesn't exist.
so your opinion is just to return null or throw exception when detail view is not possible?
Yes. My whole point is this: Is it a valid outcome that the object is not found (or is it an error)?
This is an error, because nobody will just randomly guess IDs and try to load them.
But this is a perfectly valid outcome, because a search might just find nothing.
There is also the possibility that in between fetching the id and fetching the entity that id represents, the entity is deleted, so it is entirely possible that your byId method returns null.
Whether you use an Optional or return null, you are passing off the responsibility of what to do to the caller, but with Optional, it's extremely clear to the caller that this method may not return anything. You can also accomplish this with @Nullable, but it's still not as verbose. Plus, if I realize my method may return nothing and so add @Nullable to it, I am not forced to change all the calls to this method, whereas if I change the return value to Optional, I have to go through and think about each call to this method and whether or not it's going to be null, which is a good thing.
The only valid argument I see against Optional is the extra memory usage, but you also get the nice functional methods that come along with Optional, so it's a worthwhile tradeoff as far as I'm concerned.
Hi there, You've performed a great job. I'll certainly digg it and personally recommend to my friends.
