Tales of a Sixth-Grade Muppet is a 2011 book written and illustrated by Kirk Scroggs. It is the first book in a four-volume series.
A paperback edition of the book was released February 6, 2012 in the UK, and it was reprinted in paperback in the US on February 14, 2014.
"On a scale of one to ten, sixth-grader Danvers Blickensderfer's life is a solid minus two. But he really hits rock bottom when he auditions for the local talent show: his death-defying hula-hooping-ninja tribute to Gonzo the Great is beat out by the world's most obnoxious middle school boy band, Emo Shun.
With his daredevil dreams dashed, Danvers goes to bed... and wakes up feeling a little fuzzy-literally! He's turned into a Muppet!
Danvers Blickensderfer: the protagonist and narrator. He has a pet rat named Curtis, and a little sister named Chloe (aka "evil"). His all-time idol and hero is Gonzo. Danvers loves to perform ridiculous stunts and escape tricks with the help of his reluctant assistant and best friend Pasquale. One night before falling asleep, Danvers wishes he were like Gonzo, and the next morning he discovers that he has turned into a Muppet. With the unexpected help of his sister, he ends up getting his dream job at the Muppet Theater.
Pasquale Arrelano: Danvers' best friend, and the safety assistant for Danvers' stunts. At first, Pasquale participates in the stunts, but after he's hurt several times, his parents make Danvers sign a contract to not cause any form of bodily harm to him. When Danvers becomes a Muppet, he begins spending more time with the Muppets than his best friend, and Pasquale feels unhappy that he is ignored. After seeing Pasquale say this on TV, Danvers goes to apologize and invites him to participate in the Mon Swoon act of the Fall on Ice Festival.
Chloe Blickensderfer: Danvers' five-year-old sister. Danvers does not like Chloe and secretly thinks of her as "Evil Incarnate." When Danvers turns into a Muppet, she sends his story to the Muppet Theater and gets him his dream job, the first nice thing she ever did for him. Danvers pays her back by allowing her to take down his Gonzo posters and put up posters of her own favorite thing, "The Fluffleberries".
Curtis: Danvers' pet. He is good friends with Pasquale, but is a little too fond of Danvers' new Muppet look. Dr. Bunsen Honeydew zaps him with the SHAMPUZ laser, which makes him a giant. Animal calls him "raccoon".
Button Hauser: Danvers' classmate in Mr. Piffle's class. Button presents an oral report on her hero, "the innocent smile of a child". Danvers finds Button's choice nauseating.
Dante Digarmo: Danvers' classmate. Dante gives his oral report on his "all-time idol," Kermit the Frog. He is the only other student, besides Danvers, to do a report on a Muppet.
Coach Kraft: Danvers' gym teacher. He constantly tortures Danvers in gym class.
Hockney: a pig student at Eagle Talon Academy. He and Danvers Blickensderfer are chosen for internships with the Muppets.
Mr. Mallard: Danvers' school counselor.
Emo Shun: Coldrain Middle School's most popular boy band. The band includes three sixth graders: the three-foot-tall Cody Carter, the French-speaking Danny Enfant, and the leader, singer Kip Strummer. The band produces a "sappy, schmaltzy" music video for their single "Hey Girl" which they posted online.
Mon Swoon: Danvers Blickensderfer's boy band. There's Danvers as lead singer, Teddy B and Orange Sherbet as backup singers and dancers, Animal on drums, Shrimp Scampi as unknown and Pasquale Arrelano as safety supervisor.
Danvers performs his tribute to Gonzo while Mr. Piffle looks on.
Block City is the city in which Tales of a Sixth-Grade Muppet takes place. Its schools are Coldrain Middle School (which Danvers Blickensderfer attends), a preschool his sister Chloe goes to which is not referred to by name, and Eagle Talon Academy, run by Sam the Eagle. It has a newspaper, the Block City Beat, and the yearly Fall on Ice Festival.
Block City Beat is Block City's newspaper. Its name is only shown in its first appearance, in which Danvers' dad is reading it at the table, and it reports the headlines "Strange Green Flash Seen Last Night" (referring to the green flash that probably caused Danvers to mutate into a Muppet) and "Jobs? What Jobs?" In its second appearance, somebody is reading it at Veterinarian's Hospital, and it contains an ad for the Fall on Ice Festival and an article reporting Danvers' transformation. In its third appearance Danvers' dad has it again on the couch while watching Chloe, and it says "Pigs in Space", and "Jobs? Hah!" In its fourth and final appearance, it says Sundays have been officially declared Disco Pirate Day by the mayor (Danvers already had Sunday as his disco pirate day, and the disco pirate costume he's wearing implies that it is Sunday).
Eagle Talon Academy is a school run by Sam the Eagle, and the temporary location for Muppet Labs. Danvers and Pasquale go there to find the source of the mysterious Muppetmorphosis. Working there also is the Swedish Chef, and the students there who they talk to are Hockney, a carrot, Ingy, and Minette.


Given that this whole unconstitutional performance has been a type of "wild west" style "justice", why didn't Obama have the foresight to have the Seals take bin Laden's scalp so that he could wear it like a badge?
I am sickened by the sight of so many Americans cheering the fact that our pseudo-dictator has just demonstrated to the world his new authority to murder whoever he pleases, wherever he pleases, without even a nod to due process. Do they not realize the implications of this power? Don't they understand that this authority can be used against their own families, indeed, against themselves? All that has to happen is for the regime to declare them a threat of some kind.
What manner of sheep cheer the seeds of their own destruction?
We once lived by a set of constitutionally derived laws that were a reflection of our values and principles. If we are to be a nation governed by laws rather than men, then those laws should ALWAYS apply, even to dirt bags like bin Laden. As of the first "except for", the covenant has been broken and we have become a nation ruled by men. Can you be sure they are, and will always be, GOOD men?
Well said, Troy. I just read both posts and shouldn't have been surprised that you are stewing over the same things I have been telling myself I need to write about. I am also disgusted at all of the lies they are telling to try to justify the assignation mission when there was almost no resistance. They are now having to admit that only one person in the compound ever fired a shot, and that was from an outlying building – not from the main building housing Bin Laden.
Had they bombed the compound, or even taken him out with a sniper, one could understand a motive to get him before he moved again. Now we know that he has been there for five or six years and we have known that for sure since February. We had CIA agents living in the neighborhood and watching the place. Like you suggest, we could have informed the Pakis of our knowledge and told them to meet our agents at the front gate. That way, they couldn't have warned him to escape.
Had the mission been to try to capture him, take him to a black ops rendition site, and use "enhanced" interrogation techniques to get actionable intelligence; but had to kill him in self defense – that would have been at least understandable, if not legal. His 12-year-old daughter says he was captured alive for a few minutes, then shot in front of his family. It bothers me that I suspect she is telling the truth. I used to have tremendous respect for the Seals! They were there to kill him, and even when there was no armed resistance they just shot every male in the building.
It is clear that the Seals very effectively practiced the mission in advance. It is also clear that the regime did NOT effectively practice the story they would tell after the fact. From the beginning, I have suspected the videos and photos were being kept secret because they would show the murder of unarmed people.
I repeat my often said warning… we are one martial law away from total dictatorship. I think Obama will try his best to appear to "win" the 2012 election. However, if, as voting day approaches, the polls show him definitely losing, they may well intentionally cause the poop to hit the fan such that a declaration of martial law seems to be required. Of course, it would be sheer folly to change regimes in the midst of whatever mess they cook up. The clever bastards may even be able to drive the sheeple into demanding a dictatorship!
In my imagination, the nuclear standoff between Israel and the Islamists promises the best supply of poop to toss into the fan. By humiliating the government of a nuclear-armed sorta, kinda ally, we may have hastened the inevitable nuclear exchange in the mid east.

With news of tax reform passage, Democrats will be feasting next week on what they believe is raw meat against Trump. Let's keep in perspective how desperate the Dems are. We need to stay focused on the early Christmas present we could be getting.
Now three more senators, Steve Daines (R-Mont.) and previous holdouts Ron Johnson (R.-Wis.) and Jeff Flake (R.-Ariz.), have announced they will vote "yes" on the tax reform bill. With this news, it is likely we will see a full vote by the end of the weekend—or even later today.
The bill's passage would be a huge win for the American people. As always, there will be certain things we won't like in the final bill, but no one will have a clear picture until it comes out of committee.
This bill will obviously drive some Democrats crazy, and we'll see an even greater frenzy of irrational, illogical comments coming from the Left. Understand that the Democrats are in panic mode. They sat back for eight years and watched their president double our national debt. It would appear that for eight years these democratic deficit hawks were nowhere to be found.
But here's the beauty of the Democrats' current panic—it's confirmation that this bill will stimulate the economy. In fact, I believe it will stimulate the economy to the likes of which we haven't seen in decades. I also believe that Republicans will have to do little over the next three years but to campaign on the economy, which they can take 100 percent credit for.
Rightfully so, they can continue to draw contrast between the economy of the eight years before President Trump and take that message to every polling place. I wrote previously that if tax reform did not pass, it would be the end of the Republican Party. And I also believe now, as tax reform moves forward, it could be the end of the Democratic Party.
Everywhere we turn, we see the falling apart of the progressive left agenda, even to the point that average blue-collar Democrats are coming to the realization that they have aligned themselves with an agenda that has done nothing but cripple America—both economically and socially—as we have given up more and more of our freedoms.
This tax plan is not the end but the beginning of an economic revitalization. We have an opportunity to see an industrial revolution the likes of which we haven't seen since the '50s and '60s. This industrial revolution will look very different; it won't be the dirty, greasy industrial age of the 1950s, but a revolution driven by fossil fuels, clean energy, technology industries and a dramatic resurgence and growth in exports.
America will now have everything to offer foreign corporations, as well as American companies. This list includes an endless supply of inexpensive energy, a productive workforce that, yes, may be a bit more expensive than in other countries, an uninterrupted supply of cheap energy, fair taxes and reasonable regulatory burden—without government interference attempting to control and pick winners and losers. All of this will trump cheap overseas labor costs. A pro-corporation, pro-growth economy with less interference from government regulation and unrealistic government compliance and controls will open doors for American businesses and American workers.
It would appear we finally have an administration that understands that one of the greatest events of the 1950s and '60s was the unprecedented growth of the American middle class. The return of that growth will bring opportunity and prosperity for future generations for many years.
But 2018 will also need to be about infrastructure and "The Wall," as Congress must now focus on legal immigration reform. If unemployment numbers and the labor participation rate are accurate, then there is no possible way this country will have the workforce necessary for the kind of growth generated over the next several years. It is imperative that Congress gets to work on streamlining the vetting process as well as the procedures to make legal immigration a reality, as this will be key to maintaining and adding stability to our economic growth.
This tax plan is far more than a plan to help individuals with lower taxes. The real benefits will come as individuals have opportunity for work at higher wages, and opportunities for prosperity. Record business investments will mean advancement for the average worker. Opportunities are on the horizon for the prosperity of future generations—opportunity that comes from an America that is maintaining its greatness as leader of the free world, passing to the American people the prosperity and the opportunities that come from such a position.
The benefits for Americans because of this tax reform will not come from the IRS or from changes in tax code, but rather, from a corporate America that is embracing growth here in America. That will benefit all American workers and future generations.

Q: Airflow, avoid top level pull from SSM I have the following DAG, which works just fine:
from airflow import DAG
from airflow.models import Variable
from airflow.operators.subdag import SubDagOperator
from subdags import my_subdag

data_sets = Variable.get("data_sets", deserialize_json=True).get("data")

default_args = {
    'owner': 'airflow',
    'depends_on_past': False,
    'start_date': datetime(2020, 1, 1),
}

with DAG(
        'myDAG',
        default_args=default_args,
        schedule_interval='00 12 * * *'
) as dag:

    ...

    for data_set in data_sets:
        subdag = SubDagOperator(
            task_id=f'{data_set}_subdag',
            subdag=my_subdag(
                parent_dag_name='myDAG',
                child_dag_name=f'{data_set}_subdag',
            ),
            ...
            default_args=default_args,
        )
        start >> subdag >> end

But as you can see, I am calling Variable at the top level, which is not best practice (the scheduler queries the secret backend every minute or so).
What can I do to make it so airflow is calling Variable.get only during execution? I was looking at best practices, I can't use another file ('Generating Python code with embedded meta-data') so I though maybe jinja templating could help but I am not sure how to proceed.

A: No. You can't do it differently currently. If you want to have a dynamic DAG structure based on some external sources, then you cannot do it otherwise than using Top-Level code (and following best practices).
However If you want to have N identical tasks (with some variable index) that you want to dynamically start based on some dynamic data (which seems what you want to do) when the task is executed, there is a change coming in 2.3.0 that will allow you to do that.

The "gist": In an undersea news report, jellyfish fills in the audience on "myths" about sharks.
My favorite part: I love how the jellyfish admonishes the shark each time not to eat things "in front of the people." There's a great 4th wall nod to the fact that we all know sharks WILL do those things, but we're willing to give him a break to explain.
The "gist": A boy spends the day with his grandfather and starts out bored and frustrated due to the language barrier. But, when he starts drawing (a superhero), his grandfather lights up and gets out his own traditional ink, brush and paper. Before long they have found a common language of art and storytelling.
My response as a reader: I first heard about this moving story at the NESCBWI conference this past April and the concept captivated me. I'm a German teacher, but for me, teaching language is more than just teaching nouns and verbs, it's about teaching communication, specifically intercultural communication. The two characters in this book don't learn a spoken language, but they communicate and learn from each other, most notably about the culture that makes them who they are. It's really beautiful.
My "take-away" as a writer: My hat is off to Minh Lê for the concepts behind this book, but once again I'm floored by Dan Santat, who has illustrated many of my favorite recent books (Go read "After the Fall"!). How he transformed the sparse text into this masterpiece is quite simply artistic sorcery. As always, it's hard to find a take-away from that as a writer, but what I have learned over the years is to cherish the interdependence of word and image– and also to feel blessed I've been able to meet and learn from such amazing individuals in the industry.
The "gist": Flamingo is sad and his friends try to cheer him up as well as let him know that being sad sometimes is actually ok.
My favorite part: I love that one of the main characters is a potato. My father was a botanist specializing in potato research, so I have quite a soft spot for potatoes and this one is adorable!
My "take-away" as a writer: Three characters, fairly sparse illustrations, a premise you can sum up in a single sentence? As a writer, it's really great to see such a minimalist approach work so well. It's a bit of a concept book as there's not much plot, but there is still a clear story arc and even a little "sting" at the end. Great mentor text!
The "gist": Albie is brilliant — he speaks many languages, creates amazing inventions, etc. Unfortunately, he isn't aware of his impact on the people around him.
My favorite part: What with Rosie Revere, Iggie Peck, Mira (forecasts the future) and now Albie, there are so many awesome books about getting excited to invent and learn. I can picture this book as part of a classroom activity "re-imagining" common items to make them better — strollers, shopping carts, umbrellas– think of the fun kids would have!
My response as a reader: Neither of my sons have very good social skills (one is on the Autism spectrum, the other has emotional-behavioral issues), so it's great to see a book about a kid who finds his place in the world even though he's different. My one quibble is that I would like to have seen him take a little ownership of his issues by the end. You can't "cure" Autism, and one of the wonderful things about this book is that Albie's new friends aren't asking him to change. They are accepting him as he is, which is incredible. However, it's still important to show kids that their actions do impact others. Albie's genius is not a "free pass" to be insensitive. A quick line like "Oh! I didn't think about that! Sorry!" would have solved that for me. But otherwise? Another winner for good ol' Josh.
My "take-away" as a writer: If I had been a critique partner on this book, I likely would have given Josh the conventional wisdom ones sees from so many editors and agents: if it doesn't have to be told in rhyme, why are you using rhyme? Rewrite this without rhyme and see what happens. But that's really a shame, because you don't always NEED a reason to rhyme. Sometimes it's just fun. And when you can do it well (as Josh can), it doesn't interfere with the story, it just keeps things moving. At its best, you can forget something is in rhyme entirely. (Good Shakespearean actors do this beautifully). So ultimately, if rhyme is your thing, don't let "them" stop you.
The "gist": Geraldine is very upset about moving to a town where she's the only giraffe. She hides and feels sorry for herself until she makes a friend who is also different and they both find a way to integrate in their new school.
My favorite part: The swoopy necks of the giraffes are so much fun — the illustrations have a great child-like quality (not that most children could hope to replicate them!) It allows the story to be so much more quirky and playful than a more realistic depiction. Seriously, check out the page where she's sitting on the floor next to the box of Xmas decorations with her arms crossed defiantly and her neck curved around the words. Perfect!
My response as a reader: As I look on all the books I reviewed today, I see that they all have the shared thread of "being different," and they all have pretty happy endings (with the possible exception of "Misunderstood Shark"– but no spoilers!). After reading a bunch of books in which misunderstood or different people end up finding friendship and feeling happy, part of me is all warm and fuzzy, and another part is a little cynical. It's not always that easy. But it's tough to be cynical reading about a giraffe like Geraldine. She has enough pathos for everyone and somehow she ends up making it all work out.
My "take-away" as a writer: Elizabeth Lilly has a great feel for kids' emotions and this is a great lesson in child relationships. It reminds me of Kevin Henke's "Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse" in the sort of well-meaning but misplaced temper tantrum it showcases. It's ok to let your characters be irrationally angry once in a while!


What languages can be used to search?
Sajari features support for all Latin script languages (think English, French, Spanish etc.) as well as newly integrated language packs to understand and interpret symbol based search queries for Chinese and Japanese.
Due to the way symbol based languages are formed, specialised code is needed to "split" these characters into words to form a search query - language packs are now available for use on your own website.
Should I create separate collections for each language?
We recommend keeping your collections separate for each language that you are using; when these are not indexed in independent collections users can search with one language and sometimes results can display from another.
The other benefit to having different collections for each language is that separate analytics can be provided for each used - you can then check how separate search queries are performing across each language.
Are more language packs coming?
More languages will be coming soon and we're happy to create new language packs to support any you might need - for all the details check out our pricing or as always you can get in touch with us at support@sajari.com.

Q: Passing route parameter to ReactJS constructor results in TS7006 I am having difficulties understanding how I can pass a route parameter to a ReactJS. I have the following code:
import * as React from "react";
import { RouteComponentProps } from "react-router";
import "isomorphic-fetch";

interface IFetchProject {
    project: IProject;
    loading: boolean;
}

export class Project extends React.Component<RouteComponentProps<{}>, IFetchProject> {
    constructor(props) {
        super(props);
        console.log("this.props", this.props);
        let project: IProject = {} as IProject;
        this.state = {
            project: project, loading: true
        };
        fetch("api/Projects/"+ this.props.match.params.id)
            .then(response => response.json() as Promise<IProject>)
            .then(data => {
                this.setState({ project: data, loading: false });
            });
    }
}

(Some code omitted since the error occurs in this part)
The compiler complains about constructor(props) with this error:
TS7006 (TS) Parameter 'props' implicitly has an 'any' type.
The basic end goal is to have access to the route parameter in the constructor so I can use the parameter to get the correct data from my API.

A: Fixed the problem by replacing:
constructor(props) {

with
constructor(props: RouteComponentProps<{}>) {

Not sure if this is the correct way to do it, but it solved my problem.

Ken Bugul, właśc. Mariètou Mbaye Biléoma (ur. 1948 w Ndoucoumane w Senegalu) – senegalska pisarka pisząca po francusku.

Życiorys
Uczęszczała do szkoły średniej w Thiès. Przez rok studiowała na uniwersytecie w Dakarze, po czym zdobyła stypendium, dzięki któremu kontynuowała studia w Belgii. Gdy wróciła do Senegalu w 1980 roku, została dwudziestą ósmą żoną lokalnego marabuta, który wkrótce zmarł. W latach 1983–1993 angażowała się w działania związane z rozpowszechnianiem idei świadomego macierzyństwa: przez trzy lata koordynowała na szczeblu krajowym działania senegalskiej organizacji zajmującej się prawami reprodukcyjnymi, a później pracowała za granicą dla międzynarodowych placówek Planned Parenthood w Afryce. Wyszła po raz drugi za mąż, za ginekologa z Beninu. Po dłuższym pobycie w Togo przeniosła się do Porto-Novo. Po śmierci drugiego męża założyła galerię sztuki i rzemiosła w jego dawnym gabinecie. W 2006 roku była rezydentką w programie literackim Uniwersytetu Iowa.

Twórczość
Zadebiutowała w 1982 autobiograficzną powieścią Le Baobab Fou, w której opisała przeżycia osoby z frankofońskiej, postkolonialnej Afryki podczas pobytu w Belgii. Po naleganiu francuskiego wydawcy autorka dla bezpieczeństwa przybrała pseudonim Ken Bugul – imię w języku wolof znaczące "niechciana osoba", które jest nadawane, by oszukać złe duchy, nienarodzonym dzieciom w rodzinach doświadczonych poronieniem. Powieść doczekała się licznych opracowań krytycznych oraz została przetłumaczona m.in. na język angielski i niemiecki. Jej kolejne dwie powieści również miały charakter autobiograficzny. Książka Riwan ou Le chemin de sable (1999) została wyróżniona nagrodą Grand prix littéraire d'Afrique noire przyznawaną przez Stowarzyszenie Pisarzy Języka Francuskiego. W alegorycznej powieści La Folie et la mort (2000) autorka połączyła wątki autobiograficzne z wymyślonymi legendami i snami. W następnych publikacjach zaczęła odchodzić od wątków autobiograficznych na rzecz fikcji literackiej. Za swoją twórczość została w 2003 roku wyróżniona przez ministra kultury Francji odznaczeniem Kawaler Orderu Sztuki i Literatury.

W jej powieściach często pojawia się wątek wyzwolenia afrykańskich kobiet z ról narzucanych przez lokalne tradycje, a także motyw nieobecnej matki.

Anxiety and stress are surprisingly common, both in general population, and in relation to elite athletes, especially in combat sports. The aim of this paper is the usefulness of changes in physiological during diagnostic procedures of anxiety disorders and stress in combat sports athletes, on the basis of the available literature reports. Particular attention was paid to variability in hormonal balance, which undergoes dynamic fluctuations under conditions of increased mental stress as well as depending on the competition results (victory, defeat). Additionally, limitations of the conducted analyzes as well as the type of applied biological material were characterized. Both advantages and disadvantages of using different types of samples were taken into account. Articles qualified for analysis have been carefully selected from the available current Polish and English-language scientific original or review publications. They were acquired primarily from online databases (PubMed, EBSCO) and from the available library resources. The basic criterion for inclusion of the articles to a detailed analysis were a minimum of two measurements of a specific laboratory indicator (at rest and in relation to the competition or intensive training) in combat sports practitioners. The reported differences in available data, including the correlation of laboratory indicators with the assessment of anxiety and stress, may suggest that physical exercises and participation in important events produce very strong psychological burden and activate the various stress-related mechanisms. Despite quite controversial results, researchers support a theory that the outcome of the competition depends on the level of psychophysiological arousal.


What are the annual membership fees?
The membership fees are paid on an annual basis and are due on December 15th of each year; however, applications received later than December 31st are calculated on a quarterly pro-rated basis. View the membership fees.
I see that the dues are pro-rated monthly, but there is only a week or so left in the month. Do I still have to pay dues for that month or may I simply submit the pro-rated payment for the next month's dues?
We do not pro-rate daily or weekly. Therefore, you MUST submit the pro-rated dues for the month in which you join. We are unable to "hold" onto applications until the next month.

If my broker is not a member of the Atlanta Commercial Board of REALTORS® (ACBR), may I still join?
Agents must hold their primary membership in a REALTOR® association where the company's principal or managing broker holds membership. Once an agent holds primary membership in a REALTOR® association, they may then join any other REALTOR® association as a secondary member regardless of whether their principal or managing broker is a member or not.
If my broker is not a member of any Board of REALTORS®, may I still join?
The company's principal broker must hold membership in the Board prior to any other agent joining.
If I hold my primary membership in another local REALTOR® association, may I join ACBR even though my broker is not a member of ACBR?
Yes, as long as you hold primary membership with a Board of REALTORS® where your principal or managing broker is a member, then you may also join any other local Board as a secondary member without your broker also having to join that secondary Board.
What does primary membership mean?
Primary membership is an accounting term indicating that you are paying your National and State dues through that particular REALTOR® association.
What does secondary membership mean?
Secondary membership means that you are already paying your national and state dues with another local REALTOR® association. Therefore, you only have to pay the local dues with your secondary Board.
Does a secondary member receive fewer benefits than a primary member?
No, secondary members receive the same benefits as a primary member.
What is a REALTOR Emeritus?
A REALTOR Emeritus® is any person who has held membership in the National Association as a REALTOR®, REALTOR-ASSOCIATE®, or a combination of both, for a cumulative period of 40 years in one or more Associations of REALTORS®, is eligible for REALTOR Emeritus® status.

Q: How to insert line breaks into Dialog response default values On the final page of a dialog I'm designing I want to have a multiple line text box that acts as a template for what the user has input over the rest of the dialog for them to alter/ add any other comments to create the body for an email. For this I would like to put a line break in between each field to make it a bit more readable.
Any body know how to put the line break in on the default value?

A: You cannot do this in standard dialogs. Dialogs are designed to facilitate relatively straightforward data entry scenarios. More sophisticated wizard designs can be built with custom HTML dialogs (using web resources).

A: The best option is to create one dummy multiline field in entity and set the default value
First Line
Second Line

and set the default value with this newly created field rather than specifying directly default value.

Opinion: Sandoval briefly emerges, quickly returns to hiding
SUBMITTED RELEASE
Republican candidate Brian Sandoval briefly emerged from hiding this week to discuss his so-called education "plan." But this week he did promise to–someday–actually debate the issues in the gubernatorial campaign.
"We're going to be debating this fall and I look forward to that," Sandoval told Las Vegas' KVBC during a quick appearance in public yesterday.
However, Sandoval has been continually ducking any real questions from the media for weeks. Prominent political pundit Jon Ralston commented last week that Sandoval's hiding from the media and public "makes Angle's game of hide-and-seek look like kids play."
Rory Reid has already accepted invitations to participate in monthly debates on Ralston's "Face to Face" and to debate with Sandoval on "Nevada Newsmakers" with Sam Shad. Sandoval has continued to be elusive.
"Brian is hiding and is clearly afraid to debate the issues important to Nevadans," Reid said. "I have offered detailed and innovative plans to reform education in our state, rebuild our economy and overhaul our state's ethics rules. Brian has said nothing except that he would cut education and lay off one in five Nevada teachers."
Reid is the only candidate for governor to offer solutions for today and a plan for Nevada's future success–supporting strong schools for a stronger economy. For more information about his campaign or to download his plans, visit Rory2010.com.

Pandemic represents 'high-water mark' for brittle authoritarian model's appeal?
DemDigest May 26, 2020 May 26, 2020
It is quite possible that the coronavirus pandemic will represent the high-water mark for the appeal of the authoritarian model and of its two standard-bearers, China and Russia, according to Robin Niblett and Leslie Vinjamuri of Chatham House, the Royal Institute of International Affairs.
At the same time, democracies have shown the power and value of their diverse and independent civil societies, which have the freedom to mobilize to confront a crisis of this sort. Corporations, universities, foundations and nonprofit organizations are cooperating and innovating with local authorities and internationally, whether to deliver medical relief and social support or to secure a vaccine, they write for The L.A. Times:
National Endowment for Democracy
In contrast, authoritarian states look brittle…..The fact is, authoritarian leaders can cope relatively well with geopolitical instability and opportunity, as Russia and Iran have demonstrated in the Middle East. Similarly, they can launch large-scale investment projects with geo-economic goals, as China has with its Belt and Road Initiative, with little concern about their long-term sustainability.
But in the face of an amorphous, cross-border virus that cannot be deterred, coerced or denied, authoritarian leadership reveals the shallowness of its power, as well as the bluff and bluster of its imitators, from Turkey to Brazil. By suppressing the power of civil society and independent media, these governments only hear bad news late and must then rely on rigid bureaucracies to deliver complex responses.
Democracy is a force multiplier that helps states punch above their weight in international geopolitics, according to a recently-published book (right).
To better understand the conversation on U.S. policy toward China, it's helpful to outline the central perspectives with greater nuance, argues Ganesh Sitaraman, a Professor of Law at Vanderbilt Law School and a Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress. There are at least ten categories in the debate: four on the dovish side, and six on the hawkish side, he writes for Brookings' Lawfare blog.
Neoliberal doves hold that global economic interdependence should proceed at the greatest possible clip, and economic restrictions limiting trade between states should be as narrow as possible. … Economic power comes with geopolitical leverage, and the United States cannot ignore the power that China exercises.
Leverage doves, in contrast, recognize China's rising power and the dangers it might bring. But they recommend that U.S. foreign policy pursue interdependence, rather than disentanglement between the two countries, in order to preserve American leverage over China. Leverage, they hope, will make conflict less likely. What the leverage argument too often ignores, however, is that China is moving swiftly to reduce its dependence on the United States, through a process of "indigenization"….
Transnational doves believe the biggest threats to the United States—like climate change—can be solved only through U.S. cooperation with other great powers. Any dangers of a rising China are far less problematic than the extinction-level challenge posed by climate change, they argue, and hawkish policies will make collaboration less likely. ….
Anti-war doves worry that hawkish language and policies of any type might increase the risk of war. Like Graham Allison, they are anxious about Thucydides's Trap: that fear in each country might spiral out of control and push the U.S. and China toward a war neither country desires…
Turning to the hawkish side, there are six groups, he adds:
Liberal hawks are primarily worried about human rights…. But it is unclear whether they can have much of an impact: China's use of technology for domestic social and political control, often called digital authoritarianism, coupled with its significant global power, makes this fight an uphill battle.
Nationalist hawks frame the China challenge through a racial lens, relying on xenophobic tropes to express their position. .. Comparatively few in foreign policy circles seem to hold this view, though those who do have a prominent voice in the current administration.
Traditional hawks are worried about conventional political and military issues, but they attend little (or not at all) to economic power. They argue that the rise of neo-authoritarianism, including in China, is one of the central challenges facing the United States today..
Leverage hawks, like their dovish counterparts, see the goal as having enough power and leverage to make China change practices like technology transfer and intellectual property theft. But unlike the doves, they don't emphasize interconnectedness as their central strategy. Rather, they stress working with allies to develop a coalition that can put greater pressure on China to change its ways. …
Corporatist hawks take China's rising economic power seriously and see geo-economic competition as one of the central domains of the future. … The danger in corporatism is that the competition between China and the United States will become a contest between Chinese digital authoritarianism and American digital oligarchy—a government of tech magnates instead of we the people.
Resilience hawks also worry about China's rising economic power and the dangers it poses—but they are equally worried about the inequality of wealth and power in America. … Their aim is not to change China but, rather, to develop resilience to defend democracy in America and like-minded countries. …… The central problem for resilience hawks is that many of the policies necessary to ensure a resilient democracy, social infrastructure and economy run directly counter to the interests and political preferences of those who have power and influence in American politics (on both sides of the aisle), making implementation difficult.
But liberal, traditional and resilience hawks could find common cause in restricting corporations from export, investment, etc, that result in accelerating digital authoritarianism, Sitaraman concludes. for Brookings' Lawfare blog.
National Endowment for Democracy (NED)
The COVID-19 crisis has triggered a new debate within Europe about the need for greater supply-chain "diversification," and thus for a managed disengagement from China. That will not be easy, and it won't happen quickly. But, clearly, Europe has abandoned its previous ambition for a more closely integrated bilateral economic relationship with China, argues Mark Leonard, Director of the European Council on Foreign Relations.
Three factors have altered Europe's strategic calculus, he writes for Project Syndicate:
The first is a long-term change within China. The EU's previous China policy was based on the so-called convergence wager, which held that China would gradually become a more responsible global citizen if it was welcomed into international global markets and institutions. Instead, the opposite has happened. Under President Xi Jinping, China has become more authoritarian….
Second, the United States has increasingly adopted a more hawkish view of China…Consider the way many European states are struggling to placate both the US and China over the Chinese tech giant Huawei's role in building European 5G networks.
But the third (and most surprising) development has been China's behavior during the pandemic…… Consider one telling episode from the pandemic. Early this year, as the coronavirus was raging through Wuhan, EU member states shipped nearly 60 tons of medical equipment to China. Much of this came from national strategic stockpiles, and it was sent discreetly, at China's behest. By contrast, when the pandemic arrived in Europe, the Chinese government made a big show of offering "aid" to Europe – much of which actually came with a price tag….RTWT
There is authoritative and compelling evidence – including a study from the University of Southampton – that if interventions in China had been conducted three weeks earlier, transmission of COVID-19 could have been reduced by 95 per cent, according to two leading experts.
Meanwhile, an analysis of Chinese censorship around COVID-19, by the Munk School's Citizen Lab, found that "Censorship of COVID-19 content started at early stages of the outbreak and continued to expand blocking a wide range of speech, from criticism of the government to officially sanctioned facts and information." note David Matas and Irwin Cotler.
The Chinese government's wrongdoing and the suffering of its victims within its borders and internationally calls out for justice and accountability. There are clear and compelling legal remedies that should be considered to effectively address and redress this matter, they write for IRPP's Policy Options, including:
The United Nations Charter provides that the UN General Assembly may request the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to give an advisory opinion on any legal question. Any UN member state can ask the General Assembly to make such a request to the ICJ, and China would not be able to veto such a resolution. The General Assembly could therefore request that the ICJ determine whether the actions of Xi Xinping's China regarding coronavirus were in breach of its international legal obligations.
The United Nations Human Rights Council can pass a condemnatory resolution, or even establish a commission of inquiry into China's actions regarding the coronavirus. If such initiatives are unlikely to muster the necessary majority of votes by member states of the council, independent statements can be made at the council's regular sessions. ….
The UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Health, currently Dr. Dainius Puras, can consider individual complaints, issue annual reports and conduct country visits. …
It is hard to imagine an alternative to the current international order based on sovereign states, argues Nancy Birdsall, President Emeritus and a senior fellow at the Center for Global Development. Historians generally view the creation of the current state system as a key contributor to a less violent world in which more people lead better lives than ever before. Indeed, the economist Dani Rodrik has argued that the nation-state is a prerequisite for liberal democracy, and democracy could not possibly work at the global level, she writes for Project Syndicate:
At the same time, however, the pandemic has reminded us that we are heavily dependent on cooperation among states. Such cooperation can be explicit, as with trade agreements, or implicit, such as in managing global financial risk or meeting the goals of the Paris climate agreement. Today, a failure to collaborate in tackling COVID-19 will threaten all of us, because everyone is vulnerable to the virus until no one is.
Beijing has announced a national security law for Hong Kong at its annual week-long political meeting which began on May 22, 2020, the SCMP adds (above). While nothing is set in stone yet, the law is expected to ban secession, violence and terrorist acts which take place in Hong Kong and are aimed at toppling the central government. The resolution will be voted on by members of the National People's Congress (NPC) on Thursday, May 28. It is widely expected to be passed by the country's highly choreographed parliament.

Learn about myths and facts about the Istanbul Convention in Ukraine
Kyiv, Ukraine 01 December 2020
On the International Day to End Violence against Women and to kick-start the 16-days of Activism against Gender-based Violence, the Council of Europe has worked in co-operation with the Ukrainian Ministry of Social Policy to produce two new infographics.
"Myths and facts about the Istanbul Convention" addresses current misconceptions in Ukraine about the convention, and is accompanied by an explanatory brochure.
The infographic, "Needed changes to the Ukrainian system of assistance for victims of violence against women and domestic violence" focuses on requirements supporting victims of violence against women if the Istanbul Convention is ratified. The infographics are accompanied by an explanatory brochure, which together can be used to raise awareness on the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence (Istanbul Convention). A video based on these materials is forthcoming.
The infographics and brochures complement other awareness raising materials translated into Ukrainian, namely the Council of Europe's Sexism action page and video, and the infographics on the 4Ps of the Istanbul Convention.
All information materials were produced under the project The Istanbul Convention: a tool to advance in fighting violence against women and domestic violence in Ukraine, which runs until December 2020.

The board should represent a broad spectrum of community interests, occupations, and geographic areas. Such diversity assures that the library will serve the total community. It may not be possible to represent all the divergent interest of the service area on the board at the same time, but over a period of years the representation should rotate to include as many segments of the population as possible.
Competencies necessary to fulfill board duties should also be present in the overall composition of the board. Collectively, the board should strive to have:
Rapport with the entire community
Occupational diversity
Political acumen and influence
Business management/financial experience
Legal knowledge
Diversity in age, race, and sex
Varied personal backgrounds
Effective trustees are citizens who have:
Interest in the library and the community
Time to devote to board responsibilities
Awareness of the library's role in the community as a center of information, culture, recreation, and lifelong learning
Knowledge of the community and its diversity
Ability to think and plan creatively, to question objectively, and to carry out plans effectively
Skill in establishing policies for effective and efficient operation of the library
Sound judgment, a sense of fiscal responsibility, and political awareness
Willingness to represent the library at meetings and public functions, good communication skills, and the ability to relate to the public
Interest in working with local, state, and national library leaders and trustees to improve library service on all levels.

Q: ASP.Net core, How to log users information when a check box is checked? I have been struggling to find information on how to log users information such as there username when a checkbox gets selected (This information should be logged without the user knowing). Here is my code:
This is a 'switch' designed checkbox from MDB

        Checked and Verified
        <input type="checkbox" checked>

When the 'leaver' (checkbox) is made to true I would like this to be logged:
<input id="username" value="@User.Identity.Name" />

@Html.EditorFor(x => x.DateCreated)

However, I cannot find a @if statement or any javascript code that works.
Please help me :(

A: With JavaScript:
<input type="checkbox" id="myCheck" onclick="myFunction()" checked>

You can build your logic in JS:
function myFunction() {
  // Get the checkbox
  var checkBox = document.getElementById("myCheck");

  // If the checkbox is checked, display the output text
  if (checkBox.checked == true){
    //log
  } else {
    //do not log
  }
}

Like described here Link

View Full Version : Richmond Park, London
Orianna2000
Anyone from London? I need to know what sort of fence surrounds Richmond park in Roehampton. I looked at Google Maps' satellite images and can see that there is some kind of fence, and it looks to be covered with ivy. Beyond that, I can't tell. If it matters, I need the fence that lies between the golf course and the Alton estates, at the southeast corner of the park.
Becca_H
Richmond Park's boundary is mostly walled, but there's the occasional set of railings. It's about eight feet tall.
Fun but irrelevant fact: Houses that back on to Richmond Park are liable to the deer tax (it has a proper name) to cover the cost of the occasional escaped deer. This was set up by King James I (I think) and hasn't been abolished.
What kind of wall, though? Brick? Stone? Concrete blocks? Chain-link fence? I have a character running through the park, trying to escape something that's chasing her, and I need to find a way for her to slip past the wall and into the council estate that's just beyond the golf course. I'm really hoping for chain-link, so she can find a tear or gap in it. If it's something more sturdy, I don't know how she's going to escape.
Can't remember, but if it's nice tomorrow, as it promises to be, I might go and have a look for you, as I'm not far from it.
That would be great! Thank you. :)
The wall is made of red brick. The railings are cast iron and black.
Sorry, can't be too specific as I don't live there. Just driven past it several times.
Now I'm trying to figure out how to get the MC to the other side of this 8' brick wall.
According to the satellite map of the area, there is a small path that leads through the council estate and ends right at the park wall, by the golf course. Any idea if there's a gate there? Maybe a small pedestrian or maintenance gate? Alternatively, is there any kind of culvert or storm drain pipe that she could crawl through?
I wish I could fly to London and explore the area myself, but that's a bit out of my budget right now. :(
Ori, if you're struggling, hun, why not just have a section being repaired? You could have it borded up?
edit: I've seen chain fences that are slipped into a concrete base (usually to keep people out of restricted areas).
This seems feasible. I mean, you don't have to be that accurate. Even the people I know who live near Richmond don't know the answers 100%.
What's actually chasing her? Perhaps a bit of an extreme idea, but the deer can get quite aggressive at certain times of the year. One of them could turn on the aggressor which in turn buys your MC some time.
Remember as well, they only close the park at night. During the day there's access for traffic and pedestrians.
I don't know the area at all, but try looking on google maps.
Try Minstead Gardens, where the road loops up close to the golf course.
Then zoom in to the fence.
It looks, to me, that it's an iron fence no more than waist high. I could get over it. Might be a bit tricky with the spikes on the tops of the iron rails, but yeah, I could get over if I had too.
Especially with a bit of help from one of the trees. Search 24 Minstead Gardens SW15, That's where you see the railings.
Here. http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?pq=richmond+park&hl=en&sugexp=pfwc&cp=24&gs_id=1x&xhr=t&q=24+minstead+gardens+sw15&gl=uk&gs_upl=&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&biw=1280&bih=645&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x48760ec2772bb973:0xf34a01d242c397b2,24+Min stead+Gardens,+Wandsworth,+Greater+London+SW15+4&gl=uk&ei=fM2ATuWGNqLC0QWd--DSCQ&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=image&resnum=1&sqi=2&ved=0CB8Q8gEwAA
Click the street view, and you'll see.
Also Minstead Gardens has a lot of sheltered housing, so if you were connecting this with the old couple you mentioned in your previous thread, they could live there quite easily.
http://www.wandsworth.gov.uk/info/200093/supported_and_sheltered_housing/128/sheltered_housing_schemes/17
Obviously I don't really know, but that's how it looks to me.
If someone who knows the area tells you differently then go with what they say.
I tried both Google maps and Bing maps, but the street view didn't get close enough to the park fence for me to see what kind it was at the spot she's at. I looked at the address you provided, however, and if it's the same kind of fence further down, then she'd have no problem. I was panicking because someone else said it was an 8' brick wall, and that would be impossible to get over. But these little iron fences are easy. Almost too easy, in fact.
I mean, you don't have to be that accurate. Even the people I know who live near Richmond don't know the answers 100%.This is true, but I wasn't sure how well-known the area was. I didn't want to write it wrong, and then have hordes of ticked-off Londoners pounding on my door, crying foul. :tongue
What's actually chasing her? Perhaps a bit of an extreme idea, but the deer can get quite aggressive at certain times of the year. One of them could turn on the aggressor which in turn buys your MC some time.She's being chased by an alien who thinks she's partly responsible for killing its mate. It's six foot tall and has 10 inch claws. Can't run very fast, but it can track well and is persistent. I've established that it puts off predatory vibes, because the birds stop singing, and it has a stench like rotted blood. I don't know how deer would react to that, but I could see it being distracted by the deer, like maybe the deer cross her path and interfere with her scent trail.
Where I could see it further down it was an 8 foot wall. Nothing I could climb.
Some fascinating stuff round there. A little ruined building with doric columns behind the community centre. And a convent.
And some of the most horrible flats I've ever seen.
Shouldn't they all get pulled down and reasonable housing put up?

Vale Inco to cut 350 Canadian jobs
Vale Inco Ltd. said Tuesday it will cut about 350 Canadian jobs as it continues to restructure its operations amid slumping nickel prices.
Tue., March 3, 2009timer2 min. read
The Toronto-based miner said it will cut 900 jobs worldwide, mainly from its corporate, management and business support functions.
"The declining nickel price and reduced demand for nickel make it clear that continuing to operate in our current fashion is simply not sustainable," stated Vale Inco president and chief executive Tito Martins.
"The measures we're announcing today are intended to address the immediate health of the business and help reshape the organization for a long-term, successful and sustainable future."
The company announced in December that it would cut 1,300 jobs from its global workforce of about 14,000.
It also cut production at its major nickel operations in Sudbury, Ont.
Formerly one of Canada's largest independent mining companies, Vale Inco is now the core nickel business of Brazil's Vale (NYSE: RIO)(formerly known as CVRD or Companhia Vale do Rio Doce).
Before the cuts, Vale Inco employed approximately 6,600 people in Canada at operations in Sudbury, Port Colborne, Ont., Thompson, Man., and Labrador. The company also operates a technology centre in Mississauga, Ont., and has its head office in Toronto.
Tuesday's cuts reflect tough times in the Canadian mining industry, as companies cut jobs and shut down mines in reaction to falling prices and slumping demand for nickel, copper, zinc, aluminum and other base metals.
Nickel has been hit particularly hard. The price of the metal was hovering around US$4.30 per pound Tuesday. Nickel prices soared above $20 a pound in early 2007 before plunging along with the stock markets and the economic outlook in late 2008.
Xstrata Nickel, the former Falconbridge Ltd., laid off 686 salaried and unionized employees at its mine in Sudbury last month.
Northern Ontario has been hit particularly hard by the slump in the industry, as the region relies on its nickel and copper mines, among others, for a large chunk of its employment.
This year alone, mineral production generated $10 billion and exploration activities amounted to a $600-million industry in Ontario.
