Q: Orbeon JavaScript API - Access to control value from within fr:section? There seems to be a problem related to xf:triggers embedded in a fr:section, see the following two sample forms.
Any known workarounds for this?

A: This is happening because the section is an XBL control, and when your control is inside an XBL control, in the generated HTML, the id of the container is added as a prefix to the id of your control. So you can use:
var messageControl = ORBEON.jQuery('*[id $= "message"]')[0];
alert(ORBEON.xforms.Document.getValue(messageControl));

For more on this, see the section of the documentation on how to use getValue() and setValue() on forms created with Form Builder.

Q: Email with no attachment is showing paperclip I am using Python to send a simple HTML email and have the basic code:
import smtplib
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email.mime.image import MIMEImage
from email.mime.application import MIMEApplication

def send_test_mail(body):
    sender_email = <SenderEmail>
    receiver_email = <ReceiverEmail>

    msg = MIMEMultipart()
    msg['Subject'] = '[Email Test]'
    msg['From'] = sender_email
    msg['To'] = receiver_email

    msgText = MIMEText('<b>%s</b>' % (body), 'html')
    msg.attach(msgText)

    try:
        with smtplib.SMTP_SSL('smtp.gmail.com', 587) as smtpObj:
            smtpObj.ehlo()
            smtpObj.login(<LoginUserName>, <LoginPassword>)
            smtpObj.sendmail(sender_email, receiver_email, msg.as_string())
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    send_test_mail("Welcome to Medium!")

This has been put together from a couple of sources from within the stackexchange community but the intention is only to send a straightforward email.
But, when it is received, I get the paperclip icon indicating there is an attachment when there clearly isn't one.
https://i.stack.imgur.com/Ysj3g.png
Python is not my strong point but I'm sure it has more to do with SMTPLIB rather than python.
Does anyone know what is going on here?
Thanks

When Woodrow Wilson agreed in principle to begin peace negotiations on 10 October, the German 6th army immediately began its withdrawal from the front in northern France and was stationed in Brussels. The German army command wanted to use the threat of mutiny and plunder in the densely populated city as a means of pressuring the peace negotiations, while the Allies intensified their offensives to gain as much possible territory before the actual peace negotiations began.
That same evening, following the revolutionary movement in Germany, a Soldiers' Council was improvised in the trade union rooms of the Brussels' North Station. Six speakers took the floor before the night put an end to the meeting. The session of the Soldiers' Council continued until the next morning.
Hugo Haase: vice-president and leader of the Independent Social-Democratic Party of Germany- USPDHowever, the discussions of the Soldiers' Council was cut short through manoeuvring ny the moderate left wingers who were at this point part of the new government and wanted to "retain law and order". Hugo Haase, the freshly appointed vice-president and leader of the Independent Social-Democratic Party of Germany (USPD: a left-wing split from the German Social-Democratic Party) contacted his friend and army doctor, Hugo Freund. He asked Freund to calm down and discipline possible rebellious soldiers. In order to cut the discussions of the Soldiers' Council short and to limit their demands, Freund used the authority of the new, revolutionary (in words) government to bring together a group of moderate social-democrats. With this moderate group separated from the Soldiers' Council, he worked out a list of demands. Later that day, representatives of the Soldiers' Council accepted Freund as chairman and along with his programme, without ever putting these questions to the vote at the general meeting in the North Station.
On that same turbulent day, German soldiers tore down German flags all over the capital and replaced them with red ones. The unthinkable happened. A big demonstration of 6,000, unarmed soldiers gathered and marched from the Soldiers' Council in the North Station, through the city center, to the Palace of Justice. On their way, the German soldiers fraternised with the population and were greeted as liberators. Eyewitnesses described the scene as an euphorical carnival procession. Louis Bertrand, leader of the BWP (the Belgian Social-Democratic Party) spoke hatefully about the "cowardly German officers who led themselves to be disarmed by their soldiers." The Socialist leadership did not take part in the celebration, refusing to link with the German soldiers. This anti-German attitude was characteristic of the leadership of the BWP, which was among the most belligerent of the Second International. This chauvinist attitude was not shared by the masses in the streets, where an atmosphere of solidarity and euphoria reigned. In front of a massive gathering of soldiers and civilians alike, Freund announced the demands of the Soldiers' Council.
Shortly after declaring the demands of the Soldiers Council to the population, the representatives of the Soldiers' Council went to the nearby People's House where the headquarters of the Belgian Social Democratic Party (BWP, Belgian Workers' Party) were located. The soldiers wanted to create mixed Belgian-German guards to guarantee good order. They wanted to hand over the power to the socialist leaders and thus spread the German Revolution to Belgium. But the BWP leadership bluntly refused to cooperate with "German soldiers". In an effort to nip the sympathy with the revolutionary soldiers in the bud, the Socialist leaders proclaimed the introduction of single universal suffrage for men... once the German troops left the country.
German Army final withdrawl from Belgium - November 1918On 16 November, the last German soldiers left the country to join the revolutionary masses in their homeland. Their revolt had effectively put an end to the brutal military occupation and, in the same breath, also led to the swift introduction of the universal suffrage for men. This key episode in our history is completely shut out of Belgian history books. That is not surprising as the events show that the masses have the power to end wars. The ruling class can only stand aside and manoeuver secretly when the soldiers turn their bayonets against them and act according to class solidarity.

NLMC dragging its feet on BSNL asset monetisation
Government-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) is waiting for the National Land Monetization Corporation (NLMC), to prepare a strategy for the sale of the large portfolio of land and properties that it owns across the country, and which have been earmarked for auction.
Officials said all properties valued above Rs 100 crore are being monetised by the NLMC, a special purpose vehicle under the Finance Ministry's Department of Public Enterprise. However, the NLMC has been slow to formulate a strategy towards this end, he added.
"The NLMC will create a comprehensive strategy on monetising all land and properties (of BSNL) which are nominally valued at more than Rs 100 crore. DoT will handle assets of lower value. We are ready to help and are waiting for guidance from them," a senior official with the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) said.
Officials hinted the decision to transfer administrative control over monetisation of high-value properties came after the auctions of six non-core assets of BSNL and Mahanagar Telecom Nigam Ltd received a poor response last year. The November 2021 exercise was the first-ever sale of non-core property assets via auctions.
These properties included BSNL's land in Hyderabad (worth Rs 400 crore) land in Rajpura (nearly Rs 70 crore), 5-acre land in Bhavnagar (Rs 41 crore), and 11 acres in Kolkata (Rs 161 crore).
MTNL's 1.36-acre property in Mumbai, valued at Rs 270 crore, and 20 residential flats valued about Rs 20 crore, were also put up for sale.
A year later, on November 14, BSNL had put up a second set of properties for bids last month. The 13 surplus assets are prime properties in Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Telangana and Uttar Pradesh. The reserve auction price for this set was kept at Rs 300-350 crore, the company had said.
The final date for submission of bids was December 5. Officials said these assets have received a better response than the earlier lot, and that more properties would be made available for sale soon.
Back in 2020, loss-making BSNL had identified 14 properties worth Rs 20,160 crore to the Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM), as part of the telecom corporation's ambitious asset monetisation plans. These land parcels are spread locations like Mumbai, Thiruvananthapuram, Chennai, Ghaziabad and other places.
But this March, the government had announced that DIPAM would monetise 17 properties valued collectively at about Rs 23,358 crore in the first phase–11 assets of BSNL valued at Rs 18,200 crore, and six assets of MTNL worth Rs 5,158 crore.
However, officials on Tuesday told Business Standard that few of the monetisation plans are expected to take off in FY23.
Other PSUs and government departments have been asked to prepare a list of assets that can be monetised through NLMC. The body was incorporated on June 3 as a wholly-owned Government of India company with an initial authorised share capital of Rs 5,000 crore and paid-up share capital of Rs 150 crore.
NLMC will own, hold, manage and monetise such land and assets of PSUs that are to be closed down, alomg with the surplus non-core land assets of government-owned companies under strategic disinvestment.
It will also advise and assist government departments, statutory bodies/authorities, autonomous bodies, and corporations on under-utilised non-core assets. Business Standard

Tony Bennett regrets not talking to Amy Winehouse about addiction before her death.
The 'Back to Black' hitmaker tragically passed away in July 2011 from accidental alcohol poisoning and the 90-year-old singer wishes he could have told her that she was his "idol and a once-in-a-lifetime talent" before she passed.
He writes in his book 'Just Getting Started': "Should I have told her that I'd contended a little bit with [drugs and alcohol] myself and knew how you can fall into a bad cycle, but I also knew that you could bring yourself back?
And the 'Lady Is A Tramp' singer praised Amy for her "engaging, funny and charming" nature.
Meanwhile, singer Adele previously opened up about her adoration for Amy.
She said: "If it wasn't for Amy and 'Frank,' one hundred per cent I wouldn't have picked up a guitar, I wouldn't have written 'Daydreamer' or 'Hometown' and I wrote 'Someone Like You' on the guitar too.

They're on Elston in Chicago. They're huge. Of course, they are. Have you ever seen a corner mom and pop car dealer, where you quickly stop by after work to pick up a little something? Fox Ford Lincoln held a promotion in a top floor show room whose ceiling was at least three stories high, high enough, for acrobats hanging from ropes and twirling in strobe lights. It was a promotion but also a party thrown for customers who already drive a Ford or Lincoln from Fox. Nice.

I got an e-mail this week that I still haven't responded to as my initial reaction is to send off something nasty. As background, I gave a test in a relatively large class. This week I went over the test, question by question, during regularly scheduled class time. If I were to do this individually for each person in the class, it would take up three weeks of working solely on this from 8am to 5pm, five days a week.
Why does this chap my lips? First of all, "many hours"? If you expect to do well on "hours" vs. "days", we've got a problem. But the kicker is that this person made a decision to not come to class the day we covered the exam. (S)he was not sick. Their mother didn't die. No, this person missed class because (s)he decided to do work (s)he had should be doing outside of class. I do not have a problem with an adult making a decision to trade one obligation for another. All of us have to do it from time-to-time, but we pay the consequence. My problem is someone asking me to spend another hour of my time because (s)he was busy during scheduled class time. Growl.
Please keep track of the fact I'm bitching about a very small subset of students. Most are wonderful. I just submitted a scholarship application for a varsity athlete who has maintained a 3.89 GPA (on a 4.00 scale) taking real classes. This guy is a captain of his team. This is the kind of person who if he misses class he apologizes! So he misses class for a regularly scheduled game and says he's sorry, while the person above misses class because (s)he is behind the 8-ball in another class, and asks me to repeat the class!

You're It!
On October 8, 2013 November 30, 2013 By Sarah AngletonIn Games and Toys, History, Writing
A late 19th century stroll through the open spaces in German towns may have brought you face to face with a group of laughing children engaged in the fast-paced game of Iron Tag. This is according to the writings of philosopher, teacher, and folklorist William Wells Newell. Newell, who is best known for founding the American Folklore Society in 1888, had a particular interest in the habits of belief he found among children.
His book Games and Songs of American Children published in 1883 explores the persistence of folk beliefs that have leaked into the imaginations of children and manifested as imaginative play. Among the discussion is a description of the classic game of tag pretty much as we all know it still today in which a selected "it" must chase and tag the other children, whose job it is to stand on base and relentlessly tease their hot and sweaty pursuer.
Children's Games (1560) by Pieter Brueghel. I think I can see an intense round of toilet tag in there. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Newell traces the origin of the game to the "original form" of iron tag, which according to him was still common through Germany and Italy in his day (apparently American children had already moved on to the highly advanced "Toilet Tag" version).
Iron tag, as the name suggests, declares that the pursued children are safe as long as they are touching something made of Iron. This is of particular interest to a folklorist because of an ancient superstition that iron is a great source of protection from evil. The belief is prevalent across many cultures probably because the highly useful element occurs naturally in large quantities in the earth, because blood (the life force) contains and smells of iron, and because the wearing of an iron suit powered by a fictional inexhaustible energy source makes one a virtually invincible superhero.
I don't know about you, but I feel safer with Iron Man around. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
According to Newell, the "it" in a children's game of tag represents an evil spirit from which the pursued children must escape, mostly because he is quite the risk taker given that he recently caught a tiger by the toe leading his mother to sock your mother right in the nose.
Newell's point is a good one, I think. Folklore, he argues, is not merely the realm of adults, but also influences the lives and creativity of children, which we can see in the history of the way even silly games (except of course for "toilet tag" which is serious business) have developed over time.
Where I think he's wrong is in his assertion that "iron tag" was the original form of the game. It turns out it's not actually so easy to trace the history of tag. I suspect this is because the game is more or less innate (kind of like Monopoly). We can see lots of young animals engage in tag-like play as they are learning life skills like pouncing, escaping, and irritating the adults in their lives. Human children, too, seem to play versions of tag as soon as they are old enough to chase.
You're it! (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
And I have it on good authority that the assassination of Julius Caesar and the eventual fall of Rome was really just a byproduct of a game of tag gone wrong. If you want details, you can check out the insightful and thorough treatise on the subject by The History Bluff (who's blog is nearly as authoritative as this one) here.
But however the game began, it has persisted through the ages and emerged as just plain old fashioned fun. There's even a group of ten friends from Spokane, Washington who have been engaged in a single game of tag for twenty-three years even though they are now in their forties and living all across the country from one another. The men say the reason they still do it is because it keeps them in touch with one another and fosters lasting friendships among them.
While the rest of us scrape by making the occasional comments on photos of our growing families on Facebook, these men actually fly across the country in order to tag the next "it," thereby turning this childhood game into the great force for networking and relationship building it was probably always intended to be.
I say this because I recently had the honor of being tagged in a similar game. No one caught a plane and hid in my trunk awaiting my arrival so that they could hand off the terrible burden of being the slow kid. Instead I was "tagged" by a fellow blogger and writer with some questions to answer and pass on to three lucky new "its," specifically writers who have blogs.
First I'd like to say a big thank you to Donna Volkenannt who is the winner of 2012 Erma Bombeck Global Humor Writing Award and the genius behind the blog Donna's Book Pub, which is a great resource for writers. Donna claims that she just brushed my arm with her finger tips, so, you know, whatever. I guess I'm it.
Okay, okay. You got me. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
WHAT ARE YOU WORKING ON RIGHT NOW?
I am in the process of seeking representation and publication for my first historical novel, the story of a fortune-teller from 19th century New York State with a troubled past, a unique talent, and a secret with the potential to unravel one of the most successful deceptions in US history.
In the mean time, I have returned my attentions to short fiction and essay as I research my next novel which will center on a movement among some American abolitionists to establish the nation of Liberia.
HOW DOES IT DIFFER FROM OTHER WORKS IN THE GENRE?
I've found there is a lot of variance in historical fiction, but that it basically boils down to two ends of a wide spectrum. On one end are the novels that closely follow the life and story of a known historical figure. The other end of that spectrum would be novels that take place in a particular time and place, but that include only wholly fictional characters that are drawn from the details typical of people from the era in which the author has placed them. My first novel fits between the two. My main character is entirely fictional, though throughout much of the novel she interacts directly with a known historical figure and her experiences include actual historical events and people.
I chose this approach for this particular project because my character has discovered the "smoking gun" in a historically significant conspiracy theory for which there is no known resolution in scholarly writing. Since I was faced with offering an explanation that history itself has never revealed, I thought the best vehicle for doing so would be a character who is a representative of her era rather than a real-life participant in it.
WHY DO YOU WRITE WHAT YOU WRITE?
I write the kinds of things I like to read. I most appreciate fiction that re-introduces me to a world I thought I knew and makes me look at new details that draw connections I never suspected before. I think that's why I'm so drawn to historical fiction because it immerses me in this world that is familiar, but that I've typically considered only through the lens of my own contemporary perspective. When I experience it through a cast of fictional characters, suddenly I find myself immersed in the era and attempting to bridge the gap between my experiences and knowledge to that of a person (whether based on a real person or simply drawn from the era) who approached the same story with an entirely different set of circumstances than I did. My favorite fiction makes me want to do my own research. I write what I write because I would love to inspire that desire in others.
WHAT IS THE HARDEST PART ABOUT WRITING?
I think the hardest part for me is generating that first, terrible rough draft. Most writers, I think, will agree with me that the real work on a story begins when the rough draft is over and the revision starts, but you never get to that part if you don't first get the thing written. It can be really uncomfortable to return to an unfinished draft to forge ahead with the story when I know darn well that what I've already written is full of obvious holes, lazy word choices, and even the kind of bad grammar that would embarrass me right out of the industry. Still, forge on I must, because until I've written that overly sentimental ending that I will most certainly change later, I don't stand a chance of completely restructuring the first chapter.
If I had to use one of these, I'd be in trouble. (Photo credit: alonso_inostrosa)
And now it's time to tag three more writers so we can all benefit from what I am sure will be their insightful answers to these questions. So…

I love this post. It is informative and entertaining. Thanks for playing tag with me. I have to mention that when I was a kid in St. Louis we played a game called "first on streetlights." It was tag with a twist. The last person to touch the concrete streetlight on our corner was "it." I'm certain there was some iron in that streetlight somewhere.
It's good to know that iron tag is alive and well!

OPHI runs a programme of regular events. In addition to seminar series, summer schools, and research workshops (listed separately), these include workshops for academics and practitioners and special events related to OPHI's research.
Details of forthcoming and recent events are shown below. See also OPHI's Seminar Series, Short Courses and Workshops pages, or Previous Events (below) for a full list of all past events. Many past events are available to watch or listen to on OPHI's podcasts page.
On Sunday 31 March, the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan launched its first official national Afghanistan Multidimensional Poverty Index (A-MPI), which is equal to 0.272 and shows that 51.7 percent of people are multidimensionally poor.
"The Multidimensional Poverty Index of Afghanistan complements the monetary poverty measure and uncovers the deprivations experienced by the Afghan people in various aspects of their life", the Director General of NSIA indicated. He also emphasised that the Afghanistan-MPI will "help the government of Afghanistan with budget allocation, policy coordination and integrated policies".
The A-MPI has 18 indicators grouped in five dimensions: Health, Education, Living Standards, Work, and Shocks. It complements the monetary poverty measure by providing an overview of poverty nationally. Going a step further, it also gives a high-resolution window into multidimensional poverty.
The A-MPI supports a balanced poverty reduction strategy by bringing into view deprivations that monetary poverty measures do not. It is true that nationally the numbers are similar: the NSIA's analysis of the ALCS 2016-17 survey showed that 51.7 percent of the population is MPI poor and 54.5 percent of the population are consumption poor. However, these are not necessarily the same people. Only 36.3 percent of Afghans are both income poor and MPI poor. This means that 69.9 percent of the population are either MPI poor, monetary poor – or both.
The report shows a striking yet in-depth portrait of poverty. Singling out children, it finds that 58 percent of all multidimensionally poor people are children under 18 years of age. UNICEF's Regional Director, Jean Gough, drew attention to the Report's piercing focus on child poverty, "multidimensional poverty is highest among children. The Multidimensional Poverty Index of Afghanistan, based on data for 2016-17, finds that fully 56.4 percent of children are poor, as compared with just under half of adults. It is a clear call to action".
Results also show that poverty rates are highest among the Kuchi population, 89 percent of which are MPI poor. In all, rural areas are home to 83 percent of multidimensionally poor people.
Among provinces, Badghis, Nooristan, Kunduz, Zabul and Samangan are the poorest ones, while Kabul, Panjsher, Kapisa, Logar and Pakitlka are the least poor. In particular, the headcount of multidimensional poverty ranges from 15 percent in Kabul to over 85 percent in Baghdis. In turn, Herat houses the largest absolute number of multidimensionally poor people followed by Nangarhar, Kandahar, Kunduz and Faryab. Kabul is the least poor, but nearly one out of 20 poor persons live in there.
Because the A-MPI starts by finding out how each household is doing in each of these indicators – from assisted delivery to child school attendance, from employment and NEET to security shocks, from cooking fuel to land and livestock – it offers an easy-to-understand yet powerful tool for policy coordination, budgeting and integrated policy design.
The A-MPI can be unpacked to show the precise composition of poverty for any group – be it children, Kuchis, or female-headed households. At the national level, for example, of the 18 indicators, the highest deprivation is in female schooling, where nearly half of the population – 48 percent – live in a household where no female 10 years or older has completed primary schooling or knows how to read and write. The next highest deprivations are in cooking fuel, where 41 percent of people are at risk of indoor air pollution that causes respiratory infections, and 39 percent of Afghans are MPI poor and share their household with a school aged child who is not attending school, while 35 percent live in a house in which a woman failed to receive proper pre-natal care and an assisted delivery. In turn, 25 percent of Afghans are MPI poor and were strongly affected by some kind of security shock from which they have not recovered, 32 percent of people live in MPI poor households where less than one in six persons is employed, and for 23 percent, no one in the labor force is employed.
This information is vitally important for evidence-based policy design. The Afghanistan Multidimensional Poverty Index 2016–2017 Report will be helpful to make integrated and evidence-based policies at national and provincial levels in order to overcome poverty, deprivations and related disadvantages.
The Report, which was financially supported by the UNICEF country office, is the first release of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan's official and permanent statistic of multidimensional poverty. The NSIA and the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) at the University of Oxford, worked collaboratively on the A-MPI.
sOPHIa Oxford, the University of Oxford's first social enterprise spinout, will provide businesses with tools to measure and respond to poverty amongst their employees and their families, contractors, and in their supply chain. Building upon the work and experience of the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI), sOPHIa Oxford aims to expand the use of multidimensional poverty measurement to the private sector. sOPHIa Oxford has an exclusive worldwide license to the Business Multidimensional Poverty Index (bMPI), developed by OPHI in partnership with the business association Horizonte Positivo, which has pioneered the implementation of the bMPI in Costa Rica. The first company to use the bMPI, BAC Credomatic in Costa Rica, has announced that the bMPI identified 12% of its employees in poverty and has rolled out a series of initiatives to help its employees.sOPHIa Oxford was created by OPHI with the support of the Oxford Department of International Development and the University's innovation arm, Oxford University Innovation (OUI). In Costa Rica partner Horizonte Positivo has already implemented the bMPI with 42 businesses successfully.See the full press release here.
The event will be chaired by Mr Risenga Maluleke, the Statistician-General of South Africa and head of Statistics South Africa (Stats SA).
The MPPN has hosted side events annually at each of the four most recent UNSC Sessions. As in previous years, this side event will provide an opportunity for leading statisticians and MPPN members at the forefront of innovations in poverty measurement to discuss and share their experiences using multidimensional poverty measures.
The 50th Session of the United Nations Statistical Commission will take place from 5-8 March 2019 at the United Nations Headquarters in New York. Agenda items include: data and indicators for Agenda 2030, open data, national accounts, regional statistical development, education statistics, household surveys and statistical capacity building, among others.

Gebhard Award
David Gebhard Award
Gebhard Winners Announced
Gebhard winners bring little-known stories of architectural history to light
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (Minneapolis-St. Paul 5/21/2020)
Trailer parks, a reinvented library, an unrecognized female architect, and a lost Minneapolis landmark reveal fascinating stories about the Minnesota built environment that could easily be overlooked. These were topics explored by four architectural historians who recently received the Gebhard Award, a biannual recognition of Minnesota architectural history research by the Minnesota Chapter of the Society of Architectural Historians (MNSAH).
Emma Brunson, an architect who left her mark on many neighborhoods in St. Paul from 1924 to 1940, has been largely unrecognized until now. Diane Trout-Oertel tells her story in "Emma F. Brunson: The First Woman Registered as an Architect in Minnesota," published in 2017 in Ramsey County History and winner in the Gebhard Awards Articles Category. Of the 20 houses she designed, all but one is still occupied and valued by owners, many of whom Trout-Oertel interviewed. She describes the interiors as featuring "hardwood floors, generous woodwork, and built-in components . . . Almost every house had a mail slot, a telephone niche, and a laundry chute."
The story of Hilltop, a small city in the southern end of Anoka County, is the focus of "The Trailer Park that Became a City," by Eduard Krakhmalnikov, published in Minnesota History in 2018. "Hilltop's story is one of taking a stand – the periphery protecting itself against suburban sprawl," writes Krakhmalnikov. "Today, the 250 mobile homes in Hilltop are reminders of an American built environment whose heritage is in peril, a story that has at best only been intermittently examined." The article received an honorable mention in the Articles Category.
Metropolitan Dreams, by Larry Millett, the winner in the Books Category, exposes the details of the building and destruction of the Metropolitan Building, characterized by Millett as "perhaps the most inexcusable act of civic vandalism in the history of Minneapolis." In an interview in the StarTribune, Millett says the building "occupies a unique place in the history of Minneapolis. It bookended the city's first great period of growth in the 1880s, when the building went up, and urban renewal and freeway building era of the mid-1950s to mid-1960s, when it came down." The book was published by the University of Minnesota Press. A neighborhood library whose history paints a rich picture of life in St. Paul since its beginning is the subject of Reinventing the People's Library, by Greg Gaut, honorable mention in the Books Category. More than just a narrative about the architecture of a "Carnegie library," the book gives a primer on St. Paul immigration history, background on public libraries in Minnesota, and a story of community involvement and cohesion. Now known as the East Side Freedom Library, which was also the publisher of Gaut's book, the organization collects and preserves sources on labor, African-American and immigration history, and provides a space where people can share their stories. The East Side Freedom Library is "one of those places where the future is being created on a strong foundation of the past," says Gaut.
The 2020 Gebhard Awards mark the twelfth time the awards have been made. Named in honor of the late David Stanley Gebhard, distinguished Minnesota-born architectural historian, the award recognizes the outstanding books and articles on Minnesota's built environment published in the preceding two years. This year four books and twelve articles were submitted and reviewed by three judges. MNSAH is the Minnesota chapter of the Society of Architectural Historians.
For more information, contact Rolf Anderson, president of MNSAH, at 612-272-3415 or Rolf.Anderson@mnsah.org

NBA Finals: Justin Trudeau, Nancy Pelosi place bet on Raptors-Warriors outcome
The Toronto Raptors' strong performance thus far in this year's NBA Finals has Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau close to winning an impromptu bet with U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-California.
The two politicians announced Monday that they have a friendly wager on the outcome of this year's NBA Finals, where the Raptors currently hold a 3-1 series lead over the defending champion Golden State Warriors. Trudeau or Pelosi will win a care package full of local goods if the team from their respective home locale wins the series.

"The Raptors are making history and they aren't done yet. We're going all the way, Canada. Ghirardelli chocolates and a glass of California wine are going to pair nicely with the Raptors' first NBA title," Trudeau said in a statement. "We the North."
If the Warriors win the series, Trudeau has promised to send Pelosi a shipment of "locally made goods from across Canada," according to a press release. If the Raptors win, Pelosi will send Trudeau a selection of California-made Ghiradelli chocolate, wine, almonds and walnuts.
"The only thing sweeter than watching Golden State once again become world champions is doing so while enjoying a selection of Canada's finest," Pelosi said in a statement. "I am proud to be part of Dub Nation!"
Only one team in NBA history has overcome a 3-1 deficit in the NBA Finals. The LeBron James-led Cleveland Cavaliers accomplished the feat in 2016.
Game 5 of the 2019 NBA Finals tips off at 9 p.m. ET in Toronto.

» Tim Ferriss and Gary Vaynerchuk are Complete Opposites, How are they Both Successful?
You may be a little confused. Yesterday I wrote an article about Gary Vaynerchuk and how his constant hard work is paying off as an incredible business strategy. He works non-stop and is reaping the rewards. In the past, I have also written about Tim Ferriss who I would say is almost the exact opposite of Gary Vaynerchuk. Tim looks for any way to minimize his actual work and automate processes so that he does not have to be involved. The only thing they have in common with each other is that they are both huge success stories.
Both Gary and Tim are huge successes in their own right and I would say that the reason is that they are both consistent. They chose a strategy that worked for them and they stuck with it. I don't think Gary would consider closing down his brick and mortar store, stopping to vlog and quit participating in social media to automate an online store. At the same time, I know that Tim Ferris is careful not to spend too much time on social media. When he started using Twitter, he followed 0 people and was heavily criticized since twitter is a new media communication tool meant for conversation. He finally caved and started following a limited amount of people but still believes that he shouldn't be spending too much time in the social media space.
Too many people dabble in so many things and become somewhat of a jack of all trades and a master of none. This brings me back to people striving to be average when the only way to get ahead is to be above average. It doesn't make much sense but many people use messed up logic such as "John has an online store and is successful, therefore if I open an online store, I will be successful". They go and open an online store, flop and then wonder why they failed, not even thinking about what John does that they didn't do.
Seth Godin doesn't have a Twitter account. Seth is one of the top marketing gurus out there and he does not participate on twitter because he will not participate in something that he cannot be the best in the world at. Seth has his own strategy and is successful as well.
Imagine you are a few pound over your ideal weight and you want to start a diet. You look around for a diet and many times you start a diet because someone you know just lost a ton of weight on that particular diet. After suffering through a couple of months on the diet and not getting the results you'd hoped for you start to wonder "why didn't it work?". Chances are, you used some of the logic I spoke about earlier. "Well, the Atkins diet says I can have as much protein as I want but no carbs and the South Beach diet is very similar so it must be okay to have fries since they are ok on that diet". People mix and match the parts they like and fail to stick to a single strategy.
You can be successful at almost anything but you need to choose a single strategy and stick to it. Don't get sidetracked by shiny objects. You can work 20 hours per day like Gary Vaynerchuck or you can work 4 hours per week like Tim Ferriss and be successful. Just don't mix up your strategy and you'll be fine.

"We're talking about a multi-billion dollar fraud scheme here that's taking place and no one is talking about it."

Billions of dollars in tax credits are being paid out to illegal immigrants because of a certain "undocumented worker" tax loophole, Indiana's WTHR-TV reports.
And, of course, it's all happening at the expense of the taxpayer.
"There is not a doubt in my mind there's huge fraud taking place here," a whistleblower told Eyewitness News on condition of anonymity, "We're talking about a multi-billion dollar fraud scheme here that's taking place and no one is talking about it."
So how does the alleged fraud work? It's a little convoluted but reporter Bob Segall walks you through the process:
The Internal Revenue Service says everyone who is employed in the United States – even those who are working here illegally – must report income and pay taxes. Of course, undocumented workers are not supposed to have a social security number. So for them to pay taxes, the IRS created what's called an ITIN, an individual taxpayer identification number. A 9-digit ITIN number issued by the IRS provides both resident and nonresident aliens with a unique identification number that allows them to file tax returns.
Each spring, at tax preparation offices all across the nation, many illegal immigrants are now eagerly filing tax returns to take advantage of a tax loophole, using their ITIN numbers to get huge refunds from the IRS.
The loophole is called the Additional Child Tax Credit. It's a fully-refundable credit of up to $1000 per child, and it's meant to help working families who have children living at home.
And this is where the scheme kicks in: many illegal immigrant use the tax credit to claim children living in Mexico as dependents.
"We've seen sometimes 10 or 12 dependents, most times nieces and nephews, on these tax forms," the whistleblower told Eyewitness News. "The more you put on there, the more you get back."
Watch the wthr.com report:
According to Eyewitness, the whistleblower was able to provide proof of the scheme. For instance, he produced a return that shows a $10,3000 refund paid out to an "undocumented worker" who claimed nine nieces and nephews. Another return showed an $11,000 refund made to another "undocumented worker" who claimed seven nieces and nephews.
"I can bring out stacks and stacks. It's just so easy it's ridiculous," the anonymous source said.
"The magnitude of the problem has grown exponentially," Russell George, the United States Department of Treasury's Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) said.

A report released by George's office shows the problem costs taxpayers more than $4.2 billion each year.
"Keep in mind, we're talking $4 billion per year," George said. "It's very troubling."
Apparently, the IRS has known about the scheme for years and it has done nothing about it despite repeated warnings from the inspector general's office.
"Millions of people are seeking this tax credit who, we believe, are not entitled to it," said the inspector general. "We have made recommendations to [IRS] as to how they could address this, and they have not taken sufficient action in our view to solve the problem."
This is what the IRS had to say for itself in an official statement sent to WTHR:
The law has been clear for over a decade that eligibility for these credits does not depend on work authorization status or the type of taxpayer identification number used. Any suggestion that the IRS shouldn't be paying out these credits under current law to ITIN holders is simply incorrect. The IRS administers the law impartially and applies it as it is written. If the law were changed, the IRS would change its programs accordingly.
The IRS disagrees with TIGTA's recommendation on requiring additional documentation to verify child credit claims. As TIGTA acknowledges in this report, the IRS does not currently have the legal authority to verify and disallow the Child Tax Credit and the Additional Child Tax Credit during return processing simply because of the lack of documentation.
The IRS has procedures in place specifically for the evaluation of questionable credit claims early in the processing stream and prior to issuance of a refund. The IRS continues to work to refine and improve our processes.
