FCA Design Chief Stars In Episode Of New Netflix Docu-Series0
Sponsored Links
Fiat Chrysler global design chief Ralph Gilles is the focus of the first episode of a new Netflix docu-series entitled 'Abstract: The Art of Design'.
The new series focuses on some of the world's greatest designers and some of their best creations, with the first episode diving into Gilles background before moving on to document the process of how he and his team created the Chrysler Portal concept.
The episode is particularly interesting as it touches upon Gilles feelings towards designing his first ever fully autonomous car – an inevitable advancement in tech that the classic car enthusiasts in Gilles isn't entirely comfortable with yet. It also gives the story on how Gilles got his big break at Chrysler after designing the highly successful Chrysler 300 sedan.
Check out the trailer embedded above. If you're a Netflix subscriber and like what you see, the show is available to view now.

Malta's prime minister Joseph Muscat has used his platform at the united nations general assembly to speak out on the potential of blockchain and cryptocurrency calling them "an inevitable" part of the digital future. Muscat raised Malta's move to set up Malta as a " blockchain island" and said the nation is the first jurisdiction worldwide to regulate the technology that previously existed in a legal vacuum.
In his words
Blockchain makes cryptocurrencies the inevitable future of money, more transparent since it's helps filter good businesses from bad businesses. Muscat continued "distributed ledger technology has the potential to give patients "real ownership" of their medical records, it can verify that humanitarian assistance is reaching its intended destinations and help bring more accountability to corporations and governments
This unflinching support for the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry has earned Malta laudable praises by the global cryptocurrency sector; with most established companies like Binance and other emerging startups all actively building or making moves to invest in the nation especially as the country's crypto legal framework remains very favourable in contrast to stricter legislation by few other countries.
stating further the benefits of blockchain utility, Malta's Prime Minister referenced the utilization of blockchain in major human industries like health care and charity as he believes blockchain will promote a health care system where patients have real ownership of their medical records and verification of humanitarian aid by charities is made possible to ensure assistance reaches the intended recipients with no one deprived of his legitimate property due to compromised data.
Passionately Stating his case for blockchain in a socio-political landscape and defending Malta's adoption of this technology, he stated that the impact of emerging technologies being paired with a new state, will breed a 'digital state' for a future proof society hence, ultimately eliminating decades of problems in the current political, civic and corporate systems.
He also stated that
There are challenges in this fast and obvious transition to a digital economy and society. These challenges have to do with nature of concepts or systems that we believed would stay with us forever…but solutions do not come by closing doors. Resisting technological change would be as advocating for horse carts not to be replaced by automobiles.
Malta's stance on Blockchain and cryptocurrency in this recent UN general meet up sheds more light on Malta's strong resolve in the crypto ecosystem as the nation maintains a forerunner status with its blockchain island development agenda while laying a blue print for other nations to follow.

When I am overwhelmed by responsibility and my brain is having a worry party with a few thousand guests and I have very little time, you know what I like to do? I like to find something completely mindless that sucks up the restof my time. Really...how could I possibly satisfied with blogging, Facebook, Twitter and all of my e-mail pen-pals, not to mention all my real life stuff? It's time that I come out again, this time as a big Wizard 101 playing nerd. I am a public servant by day, a parent all the time, but when the children are sleeping...I am this:
That's right...I'm a fancy African-American male wizard named Scot Skullfist. How did this come to pass? Well, Miguel created the character and chose the skin color, eye color, hair color (blue - a lovely choice) and I play with his character. Wizard 101 is played online, so, there are many other wizards (and the people behind them) playing in real time. So, you meet people and chat with them while you battle such things as Lost Souls and Fire Elves and other strange creatures. Not surprising, people talk to Scot like a dude. The other guys try to impress him with their power. It's weird because I know everyone thinks that the man behind the man is a man. Wait. Did that make any sense? Anyway, it's funny that 75% of the time Scot is actually a grown woman. I do have my own character (Victoria Darkwhisper, if you must know) and the other wizards treated Victoria differently than they treat Scot. They were more protective and they didn't chit chat in the same way. I can't quite put my finger on it but there is a subtle difference which makes sense because it's so pervasive in our culture. What I didn't expect is that I feel different when I'm Scot. I can brag right along with the guys and it's kinda fun. It's interesting and something I'll think a bit more about.
Oh Wizard 101 - I hate myself for lovin' you
So, have any of you done role-playing games before? And I'm not talking about the games you might play in your bedroom.

Column: Fantasy Politics Would Inform Americans
Election season is making me realize that Americans memorize too many statistics about things that don't matter and too few about the things that do.
Watching the presidential and vice presidential debates is exactly like watching football, for the most part. They both revolve around getting excited for a payoff that comes only about 10 percent of the time you spend watching them. In football you sit through three consecutive three-and-outs before someone finally gets in the red zone, then makes a stupid mistake and ends up settling for a field goal. In political debates, you sit through 20 minutes of talking points and embarrassingly empty flattery about how America is the greatest country in the world before one of the candidates slips up and allows just a grain of actual policy-related opinion to slip out unintentionally.
But here's the major difference between football and politics: In football the viewer is constantly being inundated with statistics and facts every single second while in politics it's just assumed that politicians and the media are usually not telling the entire truth. As a result, people in this country know way too much about football and not nearly enough about politics.
If we want to get people to understand politics as well as they understand football, we should try to make the two as similar as possible. Football seems to have found a winning formula for getting people to memorize a wealth of statistics for no discernable reason, which is why I propose we engage in fantasy politics leagues -- many of which can already be found on the Internet on Web sites like FantasyCongress.com.
Each participant in a league chooses a line-up consisting of a few of his or her favorite senators and state representatives. Then they watch excitedly each week as their team racks up points and try to outdo their opponent's team in that week's match up.
A senator or representative can gain points by delivering a particularly effective filibuster, or more commonly, by being on the winning side of any vote. The more often your congressman votes with the majority, the more points you get. And there are even bigger points for a congressman sponsoring a bill that gets passed, and bigger points still for the congressman who introduces a successful bill. But watch out, because if a scandal breaks, your congressman could lose serious points for your team!
Attracting more people to engage in fantasy politics would, without question, lead to Americans being more informed about politics than any other nation in the world at any point in history. I imagine that, while sitting down to watch an upcoming presidential debate, a group of friends might crack open a few beers, don their favorite politicians' jerseys (or at the very least, American flag lapel pins) and get ready to see who kicks whose ass in their fantasy politics league.
And everyone would be hyper-informed about everything. Barack Obama would question John McCain on his voting record as it relates to a particular issue, let's say the economy, and chastise him for supporting some specific bill. This would cause an uproar at home, because one of your friends has Barack Obama on his fantasy team, and he knows that Obama backed that exact same bill that he is denouncing McCain for supporting, and he knows this because he got big points for it three weeks ago, propelling him to an unprecedented 8-1 record this season.
In the world of fantasy politics, the decisions our congressmen make actually matter. The difference between winning and losing an entire week could hinge on a single vote in the House of Representatives or Senate, and the only thing worse than being poorly informed is being a loser.

Technologies & Tools:
JavaScript, HTML 4/5, CSS, Ajax, Handlebars, Java, String MVC.
The customer is a large yellow-pages company in Europe.
The customer planned to develop a catalogue of restaurants that could be comfortably used by mobile device users. The application should allow easy access to information about restaurants as well as allow contacting the establishments directly.
The application allows searching restaurants according to cuisine, location and name. Received result can be filtered according to different parameters such as rating, chef rating, and a possibility to book tables.
For each restaurant the user can view the address, rating, median meal price for one person, client reviews, working hours, additional information, accepted credit cards, picture gallery and location on the map. It is also possible to call from within the application, send an e-mail or order a taxi.
Technical solution:
From the very beginning there was a decision to use for back-end Spring MVC for this job, because it can be easily interpreted on different platforms. Front-end uses Java Script + handlebars framework. The main architectural principal was to realize classes, interfaces, inheritance, polymorphism and other high-level languages approaches. This allows us to scale application any time needed in an easy and quick way.
The Spring MVC framework provides model-view-controller architecture and ready components that can be used to develop flexible and loosely coupled web applications. The MVC pattern results in separating the different aspects of the application (input logic, business logic, and UI logic), while providing a loose coupling between these elements.
The application was successfully designed for mobile devices such as cell phones and tablet computers.

The Power of Words to Include/Exclude (12/23/16 Sermon)
Fri, December 30, 2016
Happy Holidays!
Happy Chanukah!
Merry Christmas!
If you have been out and about the past couple of weeks, you have undoubtedly received all of these greetings in one setting or another. They are simple "social niceties" and all well intentioned — yet each one has meanings attached. Do you get a different feeling when the supermarket cashier wishes you 'Happy Holidays!' rather than 'Merry Christmas!?' In both cases, the person means well, to be thoughtful. In accepting the greeting of "Happy Holidays!" you can, of course, wholeheartedly sign on. It's a very open-ended wish. The "Merry Christmas" greeting is caring but yet is something in which you are really not a part: like a well-meaning but slightly awkward reminder of a party that you're not invited to.
As Jews, we are particularly aware – especially at this time of year – of the messages within words and word choices. Words have the power to make someone feel included, close, part of a whole. Words also have the power to exclude – to make someone feel disconnected.
The confluence this weekend of Christmas and Chanukah brings to mind a term that has a history of almost 100 years in this country: the phrase, "the Judeo-Christian tradition." Most of you have likely heard this term used in different circumstances and may have wondered what exactly it means. Is it a term of connection and inclusion? Is it a term of restrictive exclusion? In my study of the phrase's history, I found an interesting and complicated story behind it. The very diverse ways that the term, "Judeo-Christian" has been used in the United States over the past century reflects a wide array of feelings about what it means to be a country of citizens of many backgrounds, cultures and beliefs. I'd like to share a bit of this history this evening for the purpose of reflecting: How may we best move forward as a country, made up of religiously diverse citizens, that continues to expand its definitions of what it means to be a good American?
We may not be aware that the population of the United States was so dominated by people of Protestant faiths for so long that even into the late 1800's, Protestant Churches outnumbered all other houses of worship more than 10:1. The Supreme Court, in 1892, put out a statement that the US is a Christian nation – and the term, Christian, at that time most likely was intended to exclude Catholics.
As more immigrants came to this country at the turn of the century, including many non-Protestants, and as anti-Semitism and racism rose in Europe as well as in our own country, there were those concerned enough to join together against intolerance. This included American religious leaders who began an interfaith organization dedicated to diversity called the National Conference of Christians and Jews. It was from this progressive mindset that the term, "Judeo-Christian" became popular as a way to help people understand that Christianity and Judaism both stood for strong religious values that were aligned with good American values. It was perhaps a radical notion – that people could differ in religious beliefs and practices and traditions while still being good, honest, loyal members of the civic community! And the term, Judeo-Christian represented this very idea through the years of World War II.
The military was a major player in this move toward greater acceptance of religious diversity. Those of you with present or past connections to the military, particularly during times of conflict, know that it is of vital importance that people of very differing backgrounds are able to work together, side-by-side, as a trusted, united team. So the military joined forces with the National Conference of Christians and Jews – the NCCJ — to spread the word of religious unity in diversity. Over 8 million pamphlets were given to American soldiers during World War II that the NCCJ had put together. In these pamphlets, American GI's read, "WWII is a war of ideas between dictatorship and the essentials in our Judeo-Christian tradition. . . America is a country that has been strengthened and nurtured by three ennobling traditions: Protestants, Catholics and Jews."
These are words that at the time would have been radically progressive and meant to be inclusive. But we already can see, through our modern eyes, that not everyone is part of this new, exciting friendship. There are people left out of this three-fold equation.
And some people already could see the problems with this term, "Judeo-Christian." A story is shared of the 1939 World's Fair in New York City. At that world's fair there was a large and impressive exhibit called The Temple of Religion. Above its entrance read: "For all who worship God and prize Religious Freedom." Yet the exhibit was a tribute to the now familiar triad: Protestants, Catholics and Jews. This was a huge step forward in diversity for a country that had been so centered around Protestantism. Yet more than one visitor noted that there were still Americans left out. One visitor recorded the comment, "The Temple of Religion should instead be called, the Temple of the Established Religions of America."
Interestingly, the West Coast was already a few steps ahead in this regard. About this same time, there was a large and similar fair in San Francisco: "The Golden Gate Exposition." The San Francisco Temple exhibit additionally included Mormons, Baha'i's, Christian Scientists and Buddhists.
As the War ends and America moves forward into the 50's and 60's, there are a few different directions taken by the term, Judeo-Christian.
As America enters the Cold War with Russia, the term becomes political. At the time, our conflict with the Russians was framed as a Judeo-Christian country at war with the godless communists. Judeo-Christian becomes a political rallying cry suggesting that our differences are not so much about economic and political and cultural disagreements but rather are rooted in the fact that they are secular and we are not.
Through those years and even to our present day, Judeo-Christian has become a term used to express two ideas: One: that to be American is, at its core, to be a believer in one very specific idea of God, and two: That people who are secular or of some other religious expression besides Protestant, Catholic and Jew, are not as authentically American as others.
And so a simple term: a hyphenated phrase – comes to morph in meaning very drastically from 90 years ago. A word that was intended to build bridges among people of differing beliefs. A word created to say, "you can be unique and also be a valued part of a shared community," A word intended to teach those living before the breakout of World War II that our beloved country is beautiful because it is a patchwork quilt of differences – has become a word that is now used to teach the opposite.
Our Torah portion this week has a lot to say about the power of words to both hurt and heal – to both tear down and build up relationships. In fact the Hebrew words, deebah, daber, yagayd – all meaning 'word' and 'tell' and 'speak' – appear multiple times in the portion. A portion that begins with Joseph speaking words to his brothers about his dreams: that they will all end up bowing down to him. In the portion we read that his words caused great ill-will among his brothers – tearing down the family relationship. Unfortunately, a war of words between Joseph and his brothers builds to the point where Joseph is sold by them into slavery in Egypt.
There is only one positive use of words in this part of our Torah portion. Joseph is wandering, lost, looking to find and connect with the brothers he has alienated. And a strange man seems to come out of nowhere. Jewish tradition teaches that this man is a messenger of God – an angel. The man and Joseph meet. The man opens his mouth to speak. And what comes out is a question. "Mah t'vakesh?" What are you seeking? What are you looking to find? And the man listens for Joseph's answer – not assuming he knows what Joseph wants or needs. Joseph tells him he is looking for his brothers – to find them – to be with them. And then the man tells him what he knows and sends Joseph along on his way.
I think about the term Judeo-Christian – how the term was a beautiful literary creation to reach out in love across traditions. And although we have reached a time when the term itself can no longer be used in this way, I think about what is really core to the phrase. Maybe it's not Judeo, and maybe it's not Christian. Maybe it's the hyphen!
A hyphen is the radical notion that two words can be very different but can be linked together to create something new, different and wonderful. And just as differing words can be joined together with a hyphen, so can differing people and cultures be joined to create a wonderful community, society and world.
As one way to create that link is through words, I do think that our Torah portion this week provides us a valuable message about the way to use our words to connect. I find it very instructive that the words used by God's messenger to Joseph were in the form of a question: "Mah t'vakesh?" "What is it that you are seeking?" The man's words are open-ended, they are curious, they have no agenda. He does not approach Joseph with assumptions. They allow a space for Joseph to respond fully.
As we look to connect with neighbors and fellow Americans of other cultures, other backgrounds, other beliefs, whether religious or not, we may not always know the right words to use to make that connection. We may use words that are fraught with meanings that aren't on our radar. Words can sometimes, even when we mean well, cause tension in relationships.
But taking a lesson from the angel of our Torah portion, we can strive to use words of openness – more questions than statements – more non-judgmental curiosity than asserting our own perspective.
Using words that enable the respectful space needed for both participants in the conversation to learn and grow.
During this time when we and those different from ourselves strive for light in the darkness, let us remember that even as we each search in unique ways, we are all united in our quest for hope. May this festive season of lights serve as a beacon to all of us – to help us move forward together – a hyphenated nation of unique individuals and groups.
May we use our words and our actions to come together in peace.

By Katherine Clarkson
The majority of British drivers are four times more likely to reduce the running life of their tyres because they are oblivious to the Highway Code's advice on tyres pressure checking, according to a new survey.
Bridgestone tyres claims that 50 per cent of Brit's believed they should check their tyres every four week, with a further 21 per cent stating tyres should be checked fortnightly.
However, the Highway Code recommends vehicle owners carry out weekly check-ups.
Failure to run without the correct air pressure can shorten the life of a tyre, while also increasing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Bridgestone asked more than 1,500 drivers across the UK how often they should check their tyre pressure in order to stay safe, extend the life of their tyre and reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions.
Fifty-nine per cent of men got the answer right, although only a quarter actually check their pressure weekly. However, only 37 per cent of women gave the correct response, with a just a fifth acting on the advice.

Sickness and Health
Well, its cold and flurrying here in D.C. today. Northern parts of town picked up the tail end of what appears to be some lake effect snow coming down from the Midwest. We just had a dusting in McLean this morning. Tomorrow though, we are due for what in D.C. is a sizeable storm - 4-8 inches. If it hits, it will probably close things down on Monday. Good grief.
Anyway, I was hoping to post a bunch of stuff today, and I still may - but my son was up sick last night and we've got a doctors appointment at 10:30. He's been sick most of the week, but its a weird sickness. During the day he is his usual extroverted self, but at night, he just keeps vomiting and cant hold anything down. I don't know what it is, but its got me concerned. I do hope he is alright though.
Tomorrow we were planning to go to the new Air and Space Museum out by Dulles Airport. Right now that is on hold, pending the doctor's recommendation.
Anyway, at some point today I hope to put some things up about D.C.'s Mayor for Life Marion Barry, that racist fool, and ex mayor from New York, David Dinkins, my run in with abortion protesters the other day, a review of the presidential candidates and an analysis of their debate the other night. If we go to the Air and Space place, look for some nice photos. I can't wait to prominently place a picture of the Enola Gay in my title bar.

PLATTE COUNTY — A Wheatland man died after he was ejected from his vehicle following a one-vehicle rollover on WYO 34 on Saturday, April 28 near Wheatland in Platte County. Wyoming Highway Patrol troopers were dispatched to the area for the crash.
John Teigen Finnerty, 21, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash. Finnerty was not wearing his seat belt.
The crash occurred between 3 a.m. and 5:30 a.m. around milepost 38. Finnerty was driving a 1998 Saturn when the vehicle exited the road to the left after he navigated a right-hand curve.
The vehicle veered back on the road, then began to slide and exited the road to the left. The Saturn rolled three times and came to an uncontrolled rest on all four wheels. Finnerty was ejected from the vehicle.
Troopers are investigating driver fatigue as a contributing factor in the crash.
This is the 25th fatality on Wyoming's highways in 2018 compared to 33 in 2017, 14 in 2016, and 37 in 2015 to date.

Oversea Kendo Players With Culture
Recently, I have the pleasure to meet a lot of Kendo players from outside of Japan
and deeply moved by fellow Kendo players with their great passion for kendo.
Most Japanese Kendo players do not know of Kendo culture.
For example:
・Why do we do Sonkyo?
・During Zarei(=bowing), why do we form a triangle with our hands?
・Aizome(=indigo dying) technique, why is it better than other dye?
Even for high Dan holders, there are a lot who could not answer these questions.
(Sadly, I am one of these Japanese until recently...)
These are the points which are pretty well versed by many ovearsea kendo players
who looked deep into "Kendo Culture" and "Martial Art Culture"
and knows a lot more about kendo equipments
and cultural significance compared to most Japanese kendo players
and has been going on for a very long time.
Japanese kendo trainings in schools are generally very harsh and strict,
where most gave up their sword and stop doing kendo upon graduation.
For oversea kendo players on the other hand, consists of a demographic
who supplements their martial arts training with Aikido, Iaido

These are the points of which I think Japanese should reflect and learn upon.

Anything is Possible
Children are told that
anything is possible
in the same breath that they are told
that life isn't fair,
and that they cannot
have everything that they wish for.
It is now up to to us
to choose which mentality we would like
to carry throughout our lives.
It seems that the majority have chosen.
A switch doesn't flip
at the magical age of eighteen,
with which we are suddenly able to think
no, it is an ability
that we constantly develop.
To invalidate the voices and abilities of minors
and to glorify those of superiors,
is to do society a
Youth are the future;
passionate, aware,
and constantly experiencing the results
of so many broken systems.
We may not have all of the answers,
but we have hope, and the ability
to fight for something better.
We choose to understand
that life isn't fair;
with the utmost common sense that one can have,
we refuse to accept it.

The Supreme Court's "stay" on the decision as to whether the funding mechanisms for Illinois Works are constitutional will determine which legislators have the foresight and wisdom to do what is right.
The Supreme Court's "stay" on the decision as to whether the funding mechanisms for Illinois Works are constitutional will determine which legislators have the foresight and wisdom to do what is right.
What is right? To not commence projects that, although planned for implementation, have not yet begun. Disappointing? Yes. Nevertheless, exercise prudence. Make the best of this difficult fiscal situation. Develop effective contingency plans that mitigate the taxpayer's exposure to increased taxes. This is what good stewardship of the people's resources is all about.
Projects that are currently in the works where stoppage would endanger the lives of Illinoisans, for example the road construction projects, must be continued; however, alternate sources of contingency revenue need to be planned should the Supreme Court uphold the lower court.
"Damn the torpedoes" (our Illinois Constitution) and "full speed ahead" on un-commenced projects without knowing whether the state can pay for these projects is unacceptable. In essence, to continue with planned projects while not knowing how we, the people, pay for them (although disappointing) is just plain irresponsible. In fact, this would demonstrate a considerable lack of leadership on behalf of those elected officials who irresponsibly support the commencement of projects without knowing how to pay for them.
Step back, honestly and realistically assess our existing fiscal resources, and work diligently towards a contingency solution should the Supreme Court uphold the lower appellate court's decision.
The people of Illinois can ill afford a $31 billion tax burden.
I truly wish our elected officials the patience, the wisdom and the fortitude to make the best of this difficult situation. I sincerely wish you the best of luck with this leadership challenge.
We, the people of Illinois, are counting on you.

Last week, I went on a 5 night camping trip, with 2 photography friends, upto the west coast of Scotland. This is an area I've always wanted to visit, so to make the most of our time there, we planned a rough route that took us over 1000 miles. We stopped lots of times along the ways, here's some places to name a few; Loch Lomond, Glencoe, Loch Moidart, The Old Man of Storr, Loch Brittle (amazing campsite), Plockton & the Bealach na Ba.
Here are a few images from my trip.
Hope you've enjoyed seeing my images of Scotland, I definitely plan to go back sometime in the near future! Have you been to the west coast of Scotland? where did you go, what did you think?

"Stephen Abraham of India, caught in a crossfire in Bahrain, loses his life. Our Emb (embassy) in touch with Bah. (Bahrain) authorities who r (are) cooperative," an official spokesperson in the Ministry of External Affairs said.
Apart from advising its nationals, whose presence is not necessary in Bahrain, to consider leaving that country, the Ministry of External Affairs has already asked Indians to keep a low profile, stay indoors and to avoid all non-essential travel within the country.
"Situation tense but calm. Stock up big on rations. Absolutely stay indoors. We will get thru (through) this together," India's Ambassador to Bahrain Mohan Kumar tweeted.
40-year-old Abraham, working as a private security officer in Bahrain's capital Manama, was killed in firing allegedly by military personnel engaged in tackling protesters in the Gulf state, a family member said.
An ex-service man, the victim was standing on the terrace of a building at Manama when Bahrain security personnel reportedly fired at him during an air surveillance of pro-reform protesters, who had gathered on the streets on Wednesday evening, his brother Shaju Abraham said from his home at Pathanamthitta.
Stephen had been working in Bahrain for a year, after his retirement from the Indian army.
The news came as a big shock to the family including his wife and children, who are living at their home in Pramadam near Pathanamthitta town.
Bahrain has nearly 300,000 Indians, making them the single largest expatriate community in the tiny Gulf country.
Bahrain is witnessing protests over the last several weeks, with the demonstrators alleging discrimination and lack of rights and seeking political reforms including restricting the country's monarchy to a constitutional role only.

Trying to focus your training for a once or twice a year execution is kind of like trying to be the best little girl possible for when Santa visits. Now and then you get motivated to stay on the nice list by doing your chores when told, but by July you're fighting with your little brother, not doing dishes, and generally making bad choices because Christmas is just SO FAR AWAY and there's plenty of time to redeem yourself.
That's training for comps for me. As a paraclimber, I'll only get the chance to do between one and three comps a year. I'll get psyched and hit the gym hard. I'll eat better. I'll do all of my at-home and shoulder health workouts. I'll drink kale derivatives. At some point though, I'll have a long week at work, have a friend in town visiting, or just want to hang out with my dogs so I'll take it easy...too easy, as by the end of a binge I find myself surrounded by empty Malbec bottles, the remains of chicken nugget happy meals, cupcake wrappers and a bruised spirit of motivation. "Oh no, not again!" I'll moan while picking french fries out of my seat cushions. But, I know I can ultimately recover if I just focus, recenter on whatever ultimate date the comp is, and move on.
Despite the dietary set backs and more time spent outside 'fun' climbing than training, I'm headed into this years nationals feeling pretty relaxed. I sent my hardest redpoint yet outside and my mental game feels strong. It helps that this is my third trip to Nationals - I know what to expect, I can picture what the routes will be like, and I'm confident that my main goal of making the team will be achievable.
In the future, what I'd like to see happen are more paraclimbing comps, all over the country. In the nearer future, I'd like to see paraclimbing offered as a stand alone category at local gym comps - in addition to youth, open, advanced, etc. Now, what THAT means in turn is that myself and my other gimpy climber friends need to put ourselves out there in the world starting NOW. Start entering abled bodied comps. Train in the gym. Up the volume on your already badass self. I'll admit, it's hard to motivate (and pay for) a comp where your only goal is to not come in last, but DO IT. Challenge yourself and normalize the concept of adaptive climbing being no big deal.
I fly out for the 2016 Nationals tonight. As I sit here drinking my ginger and matcha cucumber smoothie (just kidding, it's a chocolate chip cookie and a Mountain Dew) I'm already getting psyched for competitions after Nationals - whatever, whoever, whatever they may be.

Additional Comments
Wildeâ??s witty and timeless comedy of pyramid schemes, insider trading and political blackmail is a tour-de-force of ensemble acting. An Ideal Husband requires a strong core cast of 3 women (25-40) and 3 men (35-65) as well as a variety of smaller parts for both men and women. Gorgeously stylish, An Ideal Husband is a funny play with as much intelligence as heart. Its characters are vibrant, dimensional and delightfully Wilde.

PHILADELPHIA — The idea of a safe lead in the NHL has been a bit of a fantasy for several years.
This season, though, it has become a complete fallacy. Speed, skill and scoring have taken over a sport once known for soccer-like scores and officials who looked the other way, and the NHL hasn't been this wide open in decades.
"To me it's not a trend anymore," said Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella, a day after the Calgary Flames overcame a 4-1 deficit to win 9-6 at Nationwide Arena. "It's here. It's all over the league, as far as there's no lead safe."
>>Join our Columbus Blue Jackets Fans Facebook group for the latest news, updates and to join in on the conversation.
No team is more acutely aware of this than the Blue Jackets, who have been on both sides of it in just their first 27 games.
They have coughed up multiple-goal leads and still won, including a 5-4 victory Oct. 11 at the Florida Panthers when they blew a 2-0 lead. They have coughed up multiple-goal leads and lost, too, falling 4-2 on Nov. 19 at the Toronto Maple Leafs after scoring the game's first two goals.
They have won after overcoming multiple-goal deficits, like a 7-4 victory Oct. 25 in St. Louis after trailing 2-0, and they even have clawed all the way back from a 3-0 deficit before losing to Detroit 5-3 on Oct. 30 at Nationwide Arena.
There is no question anymore about how the game has changed. It has shifted, strongly, in one direction. It's about generating offense now, outscoring rather than out-boring.
"You've got to keep your foot on the gas," Tortorella said. "We let in nine goals (Tuesday), only scored two after that. I don't think we created enough offense. We were trying. We were trying to push the pace and not sit on it, but we still didn't create enough offense."
Consider that for a second. The Blue Jackets scored six goals in their loss to the Flames, three by Cam Atkinson alone, and it still wasn't enough.
In fact, it wasn't even close. They lost by three goals.
Tortorella said it was one of the strangest games he has ever coached, pointing out how the Flames' nine goals were scored on what the Blue Jackets calculated to be 13 scoring chances.
That's not likely to happen often, but the game itself was a reminder of two things about the new NHL. The first is that teams must push to score from start to finish, or else risk an embarrassing defeat, and the second is that life is a lot worse for goaltenders.
"It's not fun to be part of it," said the Blue Jackets' Sergei Bobrovsky, who allowed eight of Calgary's goals in his second eight-goal appearance of the season. "Nowadays, that's (what) hockey looks like, so you have to accept that and adjust, be focused, give it a little bit more (effort)."
Bobrovsky will start again Thursday at Philadelphia against his former team, and there is a chance he might win despite wearing several more goals.
"I don't think it's the (new) chest protector," he said, shaking his head. "It's just like hockey goes this way, and (Tuesday) was one of those nights where there are redirections, the puck bounce all over and ends up in the back of our net. You have to forget and move on."
There is no other choice.

Track and field standout athlete Zora Golcevska
Zora Golcevska has jumped more than a few hurdles on her way to Santa Monica College, and many of those hurdles were met with hard-earned skill and a winning smile.
Originally from Slovakia, Golcevska is especially inclined towards the 100-meter hurdles and the long jump in track and field.
She was the best in her country for track and field from 15-20 years old, and in the youth division at the European Cup she came in fifth nationally, and placed sixth over-all in the 1995 European Youth Olympics.
Now she is poised as a contender in the Southern California Preliminaries where she will compete for SMC in her two favorite events plus two others: the 4 x 100-meter relay, and the 4 x 400-meter relay.
If she does well, she will be off to the Southern California Finals this weekend, where she will compete for State.
It is hard to imagine, looking at Golcevska standing at ease, tall and lithe at 5'11," that track and field has been anything but a breeze for her since she fell in love with the sport after seeing it on television when she was 11.
But she has faced tragedy and setbacks while in pursuit of her sport.
At age 7, after her parents divorced, her mother was diagnosed with a terminal illness. Eventually this illness would make it necessary for Golcevska, an only child, to trade in her national track status for a full time job.
At 20, Golcevska went to work for an advertising firm in marketing to support both her mother and herself.
"I needed to care about my mother and about me, you know - I finally just quit with the track and field so that I could do the work; that's what I did the last six years," said Golcevska, her words tinged with sadness.
Two years ago her mother passed away.
With support from her friends, her uncle, and her grandparents, she was able to turn her eyes back towards her dreams.
She arrived in the U.S. in February for spring semester at SMC with renewed determination, knowing that she "at least had to try."
Friends in California had suggested that she should come here for her education because it would also give her freedom to practice her sport with support.
Golcevska said that in Slovakia "if you don't have rich parents" it is very difficult to get what you need to practice track and field. Coaches, track shoes, and time are not contiguously provided.
As a student with an F1 student visa, there are also things here that are unavailable to Golcevska, namely, financial assistance and the chance to work while going to school. But for now that is OK with her. "I don't need much," Golcevska said, simply.
She hopes that things will change in the future if she gets a scholarship to a university, but she is content to live meagerly for now, and focus on her business major and her training.
"She's been the most versatile athlete I've ever seen," said Eric Barron, SMC's women's head coach for track and field. "She's like a Jack of all trades."
Barron says that Golcevska is "tremendously helpful for the team," and multitalented, regularly participating in field, throws, jumps, sprinting and hurdling.
He is confident that Golcevska has a good chance to win in all of her events in the Preliminaries.
He admits though, that the Finals will be much harder to win, with "far fewer spots" allotted, and the fact that the "meet is more compressed" running only three-four hours versus the seven-hour meet in the Preliminaries.
Golcevska doesn't seem at all nervous about the challenges coming up, even though she has found it "very hard" to step back onto the beaten track after a five-year absence from practice.
But discipline seems to come naturally to Golcevska who practices every day, maintains a B average, and doesn't eat anything after 5 p.m.
In the end, it's not about competition for her; it's about commitment.
"Track and field will never let you down; never let you go," said Golcevska. "If you do the things that you really like and love, it makes your life easier."

text: Lets just get this out of the way, 2016 sucked out loud. I honestly think it might have been one of the worst years of my life. There are however a few upsides to how crappy 2016 was, for starters, I'm actually excited for the new year which isn't a feeling I usually have. Also, due to how crappy 2016 was I've learned many valuable lessons, learning to lean on myself being one of the most significant to me. I feel like the bad situations I've been through this past year has really allowed me to start seeing my worth, become more confident in myself, and be more vocal about the things I'm passionate about. I'm not going to get into all of the things that happened in 2016, this isn't about a crappy year in review, 2016 is in the past and I'm not going back there. This is more about seeing the potential in 2017, yes there are sure to be some obstacles within it, but we can take what we have learned from the past year and move forward, wiser, better. I'm trying to be optimistic, we have a new year that we can shape to be however we want it to be, and for the first time in a long time, I feel like I have some control over my life. For the first time in a long time I'm hopeful.

ShinobiGrids comes with some really useful cell types out of the box, allowing you to easily create editable data grids. But have you ever wanted to give your users something other than a text field to play with when they edit the contents of a cell? This tutorial shows you how to create your own editable cell that displays a UIPickerView in edit mode, a bit like the one in the ToDo list in ShinobiPlay.
This tutorial will take you through everything step-by-step, but if you get stuck, you can browse the project on GitHub or download it as a zip. You'll need to a copy of ShinobiGrids (v2.5.3 or greater) to get the project working – if you don't have one, you can download a free trial version.
Getting started
Everything ready? Let's get started. First, create a new project in Xcode. We'll use a Single View Application and set it up for iPad. Then in your new project, go to the Build Phases tab, open the "Link Binary With Libraries" section and add ShinobiGrids.framework. If you've installed ShinobiGrids using the installer, the framework should be available to choose under "Developer Frameworks"; if you haven't used the installer then click "Add Other…" and select "ShinobiGrids.framework" from wherever you saved ShinobiGrids.
The first thing we'll do is to create a
ShinobiDataGrid in our view. Open up Main.storyboard, go to the File Inspector, and under "Interface Builder Document", uncheck the "Use Autolayout" box. Add a new View to the storyboard, then open the Identity Inspector and edit its Custom Class to be
ShinobiDataGrid. It should then look something like this:
Now open up the Assistant Editor, right-click on the new view and drag it over to ViewController.h, to create a new Outlet called
shinobiDataGrid. Add the following import to ViewController.h to fix the build errors:
#import <ShinobiGrids/ShinobiDataGrid.h>
Setting up the data
We've now got an empty data grid, so what are we going to put in it? Let's borrow and modify the
PersonDataObject that is used by a few of the ShinobiGrids sample projects. I'm not going to go over this code line by line as it's not particularly interesting, so just take a copy of the following files from GitHub:
To summarize the classes:
PersonDataObjecthas a title (of type
PersonTitle), a surname (string) and a forename (string). It also defines an enum called
PersonTitlewith a list of possible titles, and provides a class method to get a list of all the display names for
PersonTitles, and an instance method which returns the display name for the instance's title property.
- The
PersonDataSourceclass just provides a method to generate a list of person objects, using random combinations of title, forename and surname. (You might realize if you look at the code that as we haven't specified which forenames and titles are male and female, we'll probably end up with some slightly odd combinations of title and forename, but hey, it's only sample data.)
Setting up the grid
Now we've got some data to use, let's set up a grid. Open up ViewController.m. If you're using the trial version, then add the following line to viewDidLoad, filling in your license key:
// Set up the license key if you're using the trial version self.shinobiDataGrid.licenseKey = @""; // TODO: add your trial license key here!
We need to add some columns to our grid. We're going to use the
SGridDataSourceHelper to create a grid data source from an array of
PersonDataObjects, so we'll use the
initWithTitle:forProperty: method to create a column for each of the objects' properties. Add the following to
// Add a title column, with the custom PickerCell type SDataGridColumn* titleColumn = [[SDataGridColumn alloc] initWithTitle:@"Title" forProperty:@"titleDisplayName"]; titleColumn.editable = YES; [self.shinobiDataGrid addColumn:titleColumn]; // Add a forename column SDataGridColumn* forenameColumn = [[SDataGridColumn alloc] initWithTitle:@"Forename" forProperty:@"forename"]; forenameColumn.editable = YES; [self.shinobiDataGrid addColumn:forenameColumn]; // Add a surname column SDataGridColumn* surnameColumn = [[SDataGridColumn alloc] initWithTitle:@"Surname" forProperty:@"surname"]; surnameColumn.editable = YES; [self.shinobiDataGrid addColumn:surnameColumn];
Here we're just creating three columns, and making them editable. Note that for the title column we use the
titleDisplayName property (for now) to display a nice title rather than just the enum value.
Next we need to generate some data, and create a datasource helper. We'll need to import PersonDataSource.h and PersonDataObject.h, and store the data and the datasource helper as instance variables:
#import "ViewController.h" #import "PersonDataSource.h" #import "PersonDataObject.h" @interface ViewController () { NSArray* _data; SDataGridDataSourceHelper* _datasourceHelper; } @end
Then at the bottom of
viewDidLoad we create the data and the datasource helper, and pass the data to the helper:
// Create some data to populate the grid _data = [PersonDataSource generatePeople:20]; // Create the data source helper and set its delegate and data _datasourceHelper = [[SDataGridDataSourceHelper alloc] initWithDataGrid:self.shinobiDataGrid]; _datasourceHelper.data = _data;
You can now run the app and you'll get a grid displaying 20 random people:
We made the cells editable, so when you double-click on them a keyboard appears and you can edit the text:
Hooking up the edit events
Currently when you edit a cell's text, all that happens is the value that's displayed changes. What we'd like to do is to get hold of the new value and update our "model". In this case, that just means updating the values in our array of
Handily, ShinobiGrids makes it easy to hook into edit events, using the
SDataGridDelegate protocol. We'll make
ViewController conform to the protocol, then use the view controller as our grid's delegate. First, we need to declare the protocol, in ViewController.h:
@interface ViewController : UIViewController<SDataGridDelegate>
Next, we set the grid's delegate in
viewDidLoad in ViewController.m:
// Set the grid's delegate self.shinobiDataGrid.delegate = self;
Finally, we implement the delegate method
shinobiDataGrid:didFinishEditingCellAtCoordinate:, which is called after an edit has been made:
#pragma mark - SDataGridDelegate methods // Called when a cell within the ShinobiDataGrid object has been edited. - (void)shinobiDataGrid:(ShinobiDataGrid *)grid didFinishEditingCellAtCoordinate:(SDataGridCoord *)coordinate { // Find the cell that was edited (all our cells are SDataGridTextCells) SDataGridTextCell* cell = (SDataGridTextCell*)[self.shinobiDataGrid visibleCellAtCoordinate:coordinate]; // Locate the 'model' object for this row PersonDataObject* person = _data[coordinate.row.rowIndex]; // Determine which column this cell belongs to if ([cell.coordinate.column.title isEqualToString:@"Forename"]) { person.forename = cell.textField.text; } if ([cell.coordinate.column.title isEqualToString:@"Surname"]) { person.surname = cell.textField.text; } if ([cell.coordinate.column.title isEqualToString:@"Title"]) { // What should we do here? } }
This method first grabs the cell which has just been edited, casting it to an
SDataGridTextCell (which is the default cell type, so all our cells will be of that type). Next, it grabs the relevant
PersonDataObject from our array of data. It then checks for the cell's column title, and sets the forename or surname if the cell is in one of those columns.
But what if the cell is in the "Title" column? We could probably check whether the value typed in can be parsed to a valid
PersonTitle, and tell the user if the value isn't valid. But that's not really a great experience for the user. What we'd really like is for the user to be able to choose from a list of valid titles, using a
UIPickerView. So let's create a custom cell type to do just that.
Creating a custom cell
Before we get stuck into creating the picker cell, let's think about exactly what we want. Adding a
UIPickerView directly into the grid wouldn't work too well because picker views are pretty tall. Instead, we'll display a popover when the cell is in edit mode, and put the picker view inside it, so it will look something like this:
We'll need to do that in two steps:
- Create a
UIViewControllersubclass which displays a
UIPickerView(and conforms to the
UIPickerDelegateprotocols). We need this because a popover requires a view controller to manage its content.
- Create a custom picker cell class which subclasses
SDataGridCell, and owns a
UIPopoverControllercontaining an instance of our new view controller, which it will display when the cell is in edit mode.
The picker view controller
First, we'll create our new view controller to manage the contents of the popover (which will simply be a
UIPickerView). Add a new Objective-C class called
PickerViewController, subclass of
UIViewController. Edit PickerViewController.h as follows:
@interface PickerViewController : UIViewController<UIPickerViewDataSource,UIPickerViewDelegate> @property (nonatomic, assign) int selectedIndex; @property (nonatomic, strong) NSArray* values; @end
The view controller holds an array of valid values to display in its picker view, and an integer indicating the index of the currently selected value. We're also declaring that
PickerViewController will conform to the
UIPickerViewDataSource and
UIPickerViewDelegate protocols. These are needed to display the data in a
UIPickerView, and to respond to an item being selected in the picker.
Now open up PickerViewController.m. We're going to be creating the view controller programmatically rather than using nibs, so delete the methods that are auto-generated, and instead add the following:
@implementation PickerViewController { UIPickerView *_pickerView; } - (void)loadView { // Create and set up a UIPickerView if it hasn't already been created if (_pickerView == NULL) { _pickerView = [[UIPickerView alloc] init]; _pickerView.delegate = self; _pickerView.dataSource = self; _pickerView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 150, _pickerView.frame.size.height); // Select the row matching _selectedIndex [_pickerView selectRow:_selectedIndex inComponent:0 animated:NO]; } // Set our view to be _pickerView self.view = _pickerView; // Set our preferred size to that of our picker view self.preferredContentSize = _pickerView.frame.size; }
loadView is called when the view controller requests a view, and the view is nil. So we'll create a new
UIPickerView (if that hasn't already been done), set its delegate and data source to be ourselves, and update its frame to make sure it's not too wide. (You could probably make this code more generic by calculating the width of each item being displayed, but we'll keep it simple for now.) Next, we select the row in the picker corresponding to the currently selected index. Finally, we set our picker view as the view controller's view, and set its preferred content size.
You'll probably have a couple of warnings at this point, because we haven't yet implemented the required methods of
UIPickerViewDataSource. Let's add them in:
#pragma mark UIPickerViewDataSource methods // Returns the number of 'columns' to display. - (NSInteger)numberOfComponentsInPickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView { return 1; } // Returns the # of rows in each component.. - (NSInteger)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView numberOfRowsInComponent: (NSInteger)component { return [_values count]; }
These methods simply tell the
UIPickerView how many columns and rows to display.
To get the actual values into the picker, we implement the
pickerView:titleForRow:forComponent: method:
#pragma mark UIPickerViewDelegate methods // Returns the display value for the relevant row -(NSString *)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView titleForRow:(NSInteger)row forComponent:(NSInteger)component { return [_values[row] description]; }
This method simply gets the value for the relevant row from the
_values array, and returns its description (in case the value isn't a string).
PickerViewController will now display a picker view containing the values passed to it, but we need to be able to respond to the user selecting a row.
UIPickerViewDelegate provides us with a method for that, but we'll need to pass the new value back to the cell that created us. We'll do that using a new delegate.
We define the delegate protocol at the top of PickerViewController.h, and add a delegate property to our view controller:
@protocol PickerDelegate <NSObject> @required -(void)didSelectRowAtIndex:(int)newIndex; @end @interface PickerViewController : UIViewController<UIPickerViewDataSource,UIPickerViewDelegate> @property (nonatomic, assign) int selectedIndex; @property (nonatomic, strong) NSArray* values; @property (nonatomic, weak) id<PickerDelegate> delegate; @end
The new
PickerDelegate protocol requires a single method,
didSelectRowAtIndex:, which we can use to pass the new selection back to the custom cell.
Now in PickerViewController.m, we can implement the
pickerView:didSelectRow:inComponent: method, to call our own delegate method:
// Called when the user selects a row -(void)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView didSelectRow:(NSInteger)row inComponent:(NSInteger)component { // Call our PickerDelegate's didSelectRowAtIndex method if (_delegate != nil) { [_delegate didSelectRowAtIndex:row]; } }
All this does is call the delegate method and pass it the new row index.
PickerViewController is now ready to go: it can accept a list of value and a currently selected index, display a picker view, and respond to a selection by calling a delegate method.
(If you like, you could make the view inside here a bit more complex, to add a close button like the one in ShinobiPlay, but I'll leave that as an exercise to the reader).
The picker cell
Next we'll create the custom picker cell class. Add a new Objective-C class to the project, called
PickerCell, a subclass of
SDataGridTextCell. We'll want to conform to the
PickerDelegate protocol to receive updates from the picker. We also want to be able to pass our cell an array of values to choose from, and an integer indicating the index within the array of currently selected value. We'll also pass it the current
ShinobiDataGrid for use later on.
So edit PickerCell.h as follows:
#import <ShinobiGrids/ShinobiDataGrid.h> #import "PickerViewController.h" /** PickerCell subclasses SDataGridCell to display a UIPicker inside a popover when in edit mode */ @interface PickerCell : SDataGridCell<PickerDelegate> @property (nonatomic, assign) int selectedIndex; @property (nonatomic, strong) NSArray* values; @property (nonatomic, strong) ShinobiDataGrid* dataGrid; @end
Now open up PickerCell.m, and delete the auto-generated methods. Then add the following private variables:
@implementation PickerCell { UILabel* _label; PickerViewController* _pickerViewController; UIPopoverController* _popover; }
_label will display the current value inside the cell;
_pickerViewController and
_popover will be used to display the picker view when the cell is in edit mode.
Next, we need to override the
initWithReuseIdentifier: constructor from
- (id)initWithReuseIdentifier:(NSString *)identifier { if (self = [super initWithReuseIdentifier:identifier]) { // Add a label _label = [[UILabel alloc] init]; _label.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:15]; [self addSubview:_label]; // Create a PickerViewController ready to display when in edit mode _pickerViewController = [[PickerViewController alloc] init]; _pickerViewController.delegate = self; } return self; }
Here we create a
UILabel to display the selected value, changing its font to match the other cells in our grid, and add it to the current view. We also create a
PickerViewController instance, and set ourself as its delegate.
Next, we need to override the setters for the
values and
selectedIndex properties, so we can pass the new values to the picker view controller:
- (void) setValues:(NSArray*)values { // Sets the list of possible values for the cell _values = values; // Pass the list to the PickerViewController [_pickerViewController setValues:values]; } - (void) setSelectedIndex:(int)selectedIndex { // Check the index is in the bounds of our values array if ([_values count] > selectedIndex) { // Set the selected index, and pass it to the PickerViewController _selectedIndex = selectedIndex; _pickerViewController.selectedIndex = selectedIndex; // Update the displayed text with the new value _label.text = [_values[selectedIndex] description]; } }
When updating the selected index, we also update the label, to get the relevant display value from our list of values.
We also need to override
setFrame, so that when the grid sets the cell's frame, the label is displayed correctly inside it.
- (void) setFrame:(CGRect)frame { [super setFrame:frame]; // Set up the label's frame so it's inset by 20px from left/right and 10px from top/bottom _label.frame = CGRectMake(20, 10, self.bounds.size.width-40, self.bounds.size.height-20); }
Responding to edit requests
Now, we need to work out how and when to put the cell in edit mode. We could respond to a double tap event on the cell, but that wouldn't cater for the cases when the grid has been set up to edit on a single tap. What we really want to do is to hook into the grid's edit event, so that our cell will behave in the right way no matter how the grid's events have been set up.
Luckily there's a protocol for this, which
SDataGridCell already conforms to: the
SGridEventResponder protocol. It has a method
respondToEditEvent which is called whenever the grid's current edit gesture is made on a cell. So if we override
respondToEditEvent method to open up our popover and display the picker view, it will automatically be displayed at the right time.
Here's what the overridden method looks like:
// Called when the grid's edit event is triggered on this cell - (void) respondToEditEvent { // We need to call the grid's delegate methods for editing cells before doing any more // Call the shouldBeginEditingCellAtCoordinate method on the grid's delegate (if the method exists) if ([self.dataGrid.delegate respondsToSelector:@selector(shinobiDataGrid:shouldBeginEditingCellAtCoordinate:)]) { if([self.dataGrid.delegate shinobiDataGrid:self.dataGrid shouldBeginEditingCellAtCoordinate:self.coordinate] == NO) { return; } } // Call the willBeginEditingCellAtCoordinate method on the grid's delegate (if the method exists) if ([self.dataGrid.delegate respondsToSelector:@selector(shinobiDataGrid:willBeginEditingCellAtCoordinate:)]) { [self.dataGrid.delegate shinobiDataGrid:self.dataGrid willBeginEditingCellAtCoordinate:self.coordinate]; } // Finally create and display the popover _popover = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:_pickerViewController]; [_popover presentPopoverFromRect:self.bounds inView:self permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES]; }
The first couple of sections deal with the data grid's delegate methods, first checking whether the cell should be edited, and then calling the pre-edit delegate method
willBeginEditingCellAtCoordinate. (We need to do this groundwork here because
SDataGridCell which we're subclassing isn't editable by default.)
The final section actually displays our popover and its picker view. We just create a new popover controller, passing it our custom view controller, and tell it to present itself on the edge of the cell.
Responding to a new selection
The final step is to implement the
PickerDelegate method
didSelectRowAtIndex, so that when a user selects a new item in the picker view, we can update the cell's contents, make the popover disappear, and call the relevant method on the data grid's delegate. Here's what the method looks like:
#pragma mark PickerDelegate methods // Called when the a new value has been selected in the UIPickerView -(void)didSelectRowAtIndex:(int)newIndex { // Set the new index value [self setSelectedIndex:newIndex]; // Dismiss the popover [_popover dismissPopoverAnimated:YES]; _popover = nil; // Call the didFinishEditingCellAtCoordinate method on the grid's delegate (if the method exists) if ([self.dataGrid.delegate respondsToSelector:@selector(shinobiDataGrid:didFinishEditingCellAtCoordinate:)]) { [self.dataGrid.delegate shinobiDataGrid:self.dataGrid didFinishEditingCellAtCoordinate:self.coordinate]; } }
The first line here just updates our cell's selected index to the new value, which will then update the label to match. Next, we dismiss the popover. Finally, because we've finished editing, we call the
shinobiDataGrid:didFinishEditingCellAtCoordinate: method on the grid's delegate.
Putting it all together
The final stage in this process is to start using our custom cell. First, when creating the title column in
viewDidLoad in ViewController.m, we need set the cell type. (Don't forget to import its headers too!)
... // Add a title column, with the custom PickerCell type SDataGridColumn* titleColumn = [[SDataGridColumn alloc] initWithTitle:@"Title" forProperty:@"title"]; titleColumn.editable = YES; titleColumn.cellType = [PickerCell class]; [self.shinobiDataGrid addColumn:titleColumn]; ...
Note that we've also reverted to using the
title property rather than
Next, because we need to provide the picker cell with a list of valid titles when it's created, we need to make use of another protocol,
SDataGridDataSourceHelperDelegate. Add the protocol in ViewController.h:
@interface ViewController : UIViewController<SDataGridDelegate, SDataGridDataSourceHelperDelegate>
And set ourselves as the data source helper's delegate inside
viewDidLoad in ViewController.m:
... // Create the data source helper and set its delegate and data _datasourceHelper = [[SDataGridDataSourceHelper alloc] initWithDataGrid:self.shinobiDataGrid]; _datasourceHelper.delegate = self; _datasourceHelper.data = _data; ...
Then, add the following method:
#pragma mark - SDataGridDataSourceHelperDelegate methods // Called when the data source helper is populating a cell - (BOOL)dataGridDataSourceHelper:(SDataGridDataSourceHelper *)helper populateCell:(SDataGridCell *)cell withValue:(id)value forProperty:(NSString *)propertyKey sourceObject:(id)object { if ([propertyKey isEqualToString:@"title"]) { // Create a picker cell to display the title property PickerCell* pickerCell = (PickerCell*)cell; pickerCell.dataGrid = self.shinobiDataGrid; pickerCell.values = [PersonDataObject titleDisplayNames]; pickerCell.selectedIndex = [value integerValue]; return YES; } // Return 'NO' so that the datasource helper populates all the other cells in the grid. return NO; }
This method is called whenever the data source helper populates a cell. If it's populating a title column, we cast the cell provided to a
PickerCell (the cell will have been created as a
PickerCell because we set the cell type on the column), set its
values, and
selectedIndex, and return
YES (to say we've populated the cell). For other columns, we return
NO so that the datasource helper will populate the column in the usual way.
The final final step (I promise!) is to modify
shinobiDataGrid:didFinishEditingCellAtCoordinate: to handle edits from our
PickerCell. We need to refactor our previous version a bit to cope with the different cell types, so modify the method to this:
// Called when a cell within the ShinobiDataGrid object has been edited. - (void)shinobiDataGrid:(ShinobiDataGrid *)grid didFinishEditingCellAtCoordinate:(SDataGridCoord *)coordinate { // Find the cell that was edited (all our cells are SDataGridTextCells) SDataGridCell* cell = (SDataGridCell*)[self.shinobiDataGrid visibleCellAtCoordinate:coordinate]; // Locate the 'model' object for this row PersonDataObject* person = _data[coordinate.row.rowIndex]; // Determine which column this cell belongs to if ([cell.coordinate.column.title isEqualToString:@"Title"]) { // The title column uses our custom picker cell PickerCell* pickerCell = (PickerCell*) cell; // Retrieve the selected index from the picker cell, which will map directly to a PersonTitle int title = pickerCell.selectedIndex; if (PersonDataObjectIsValidTitle(title)) { person.title = pickerCell.selectedIndex; } else { pickerCell.selectedIndex = person.title; } } else { SDataGridTextCell *textCell = (SDataGridTextCell*) cell; if ([cell.coordinate.column.title isEqualToString:@"Forename"]) { person.forename = textCell.textField.text; } if ([cell.coordinate.column.title isEqualToString:@"Surname"]) { person.surname = textCell.textField.text; } } }
So now, in the case of a title cell, we cast the cell to a
PickerCell so we can get its selected index, then set that title on our person object if it's valid. If it's not valid (which shouldn't happen, but better to be safe than sorry), we revert the cell's value to the previous title.
Summing it up
If you run the app now, you can double-tap on a cell in the "Title" column, and a picker will appear for you to select the person's new title:
You can check that we've hooked this up to the grid's edit events properly by changing the grid's
singleTapEventMask in
self.shinobiDataGrid.singleTapEventMask = SDataGridEventEdit;
Re-running the app now, you can single tap on a title cell to display the popover.
So, now you've seen how to creating a custom editable cell in ShinobiGrids. The finished project is in GitHub – please feel free to fork it and create your own custom editable cell types!
