Everybody knows about Malala. Everybody should read her book. Doing so will make you into a better person. Naturally, some of it is horrific reading, including natural disasters, the atrocities of the Taliban, and of course the later part reporting on her shooting and recovery. But even these sections are fascinating, informative and inspiring. And so much of it is joyful. If a flower could write about her life, this is how she would write. Seeing Pushtun culture from within was interesting and educational. And no one reading this book could continue with the delusions of those who see all Muslims as evil terrorists, the Other to fear and hate. Malala comes across as a real person, with her faults as well as good points. She is not some saint, up there, but one of us. That means, each of us can be like her. Even before reading the book, my often expressed opinion was that her father must be exceptional to have raised a daughter like her. My reading confirmed and even reinforced this. From an early age, he has defied the conventions of his culture, and followed his own light of decency, intelligence and courage. I do have one slight disagreement with this young lady. For her, education is the key to everything, for me it is one essential component of several. But that's fine. I hope her influence only continues to grow.
I loved I Am Malala about this amazing Pashtun woman for its uniqueness and beauty. From a child activist to a global icon Malala has showed me what it means to have belief, hope, faith, resilence and love! What I love about Malala is her down to earth attitude and labelling herself as ordinary. I feel like I understand her personally through her determination, our closely linked culture, similiar opinions and beliefs and most importantly our love for our own countries! I really love my country! The world needs someone like Malala to bring light and hope to the darkness and fear gripping our world today. I know Malala can accomplish her mission and hope she reunites with her Swat, Pakistan. She has inspired me to value my own education and to do my own work for others in the future. She has proved that one child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world.
A little slow at first but once I was a few chapters in I was hooked. Malala is incredible. What an inspiration. And what a great cause she is fighting for (or rather, leading). Worth a read.
A great and inspiring true story that touches the heart.....every Taliban should be forced to read it ....maybe this should more than touch his heart...it would open his mind too.
written in the backdrop of taliban forced law in the valley of Swat, Pakistan Christina Lamb takes us to see the injustices done to girls in that area and at the same time showing the beauty of Swat and simplicity of people there. It is the narration of a young girl who showed courage in difficult times and there will be an aspiration for all the girls around the world.

TechREG: Supreme Court Grants Victory to Big Tech
by Matthew Upton
in Banking Laws
Today in TechREG, the U.S. Supreme court has temporarily blocked a Texas law that prohibits online platforms from suppressing user posts based on their political views. Until pending litigation on the merits of the case is resolved, social media companies can continue exercising content moderation as they see fit. Plus, in the U.K., the government is proposing changes in the insolvency regime to grant the Bank of England powers to regulate digital assets, including stablecoins, which could pose a risk to the financial stability of the country.
US Supreme Court Sides With Social Media Firms, Blocks Texas Law
Social media firms have obtained an important court victory after the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling suspending a Texas law that aims to prohibit online platforms from suppressing user posts based on their political views. In a split 5-4 vote, the court granted an emergency stay request from tech industry groups that petitioned to block the law, which is currently being appealed in a federal appellate court. The tech groups warned that the law could unleash a torrent of hate speech and disinformation on their platforms.
UK Government Wants Bank of England to Regulate at-Risk Stablecoins
The U.K. Treasury has launched a consultation proposing an insolvency regime for digital assets, and in particular for systemic stablecoins. The proposed regime would position the Bank of England (BoE), instead of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), as the lead institution managing the collapse of a stablecoin that has systemic importance to the financial system. The government intends to add to the existing insolvency regime an additional objective covering the return or transfer of funds and custody assets to the users. This would allow administrators to consider the return of customer funds and private keys as well as continuity of service.
Tech Pros Join Academia to Counter Crypto Lobbying on Capitol Hill
Technology experts and academics are targeting lawmakers in a campaign to counter lobbying efforts on Capitol Hill by the cryptocurrency industry. In a letter, they wrote: "We urge you to resist pressure from digital asset industry financiers, lobbyists and boosters to create a regulatory safe haven for these risky, flawed and unproven digital financial instruments."
California Privacy Agency Releases Draft Rules Leaving Questions Unanswered
The California Privacy Protection Agency has unveiled a preliminary draft of its proposed privacy regulation. The 66-page draft includes seven pages of detailed requirements for obtaining and implementing consumer direction regarding the sale and sharing of personal information, but according to some legal experts, it does not cover a number of privacy hot topics.
US Chamber Warns of Difficulties in Implementing EU's New Subsidy Rules
Proposed European Union legislation targeting foreign state-backed buyers of European companies prompted by fears of a Chinese buying spree may be impossible to comply with in practice, the American Chamber of Commerce and peer groups for Indian and Japanese businesses said Wednesday (June 1).

Anna's Destiny, Katina's Tragedy
MMythos Defence and Warfare, Global News, Lore, Politics, Russo-Arendellian War, The Royal Family December 16, 2020 December 16, 2020 7 Minutes

Some years ago. Saint Petersburg, Russia
"Sora! Sora!"
A little girl of five in a frilly dress and elaborately done hair ran to her elegantly garbed guardian angel in the vast hallway of the Alexander Palace. She was waving a book about excitedly. Sora smiled at the approaching heir to the tsar's throne. "It'll be your birthday tomorrow. What are you still doing running around the palace?" she asked the princess.
"Looking for you. Can I please, pretty please, borrow another feather from you?"
"To stick in your scrapbook, Katina? Of course," said Sora, beaming as she unfurled a divine wing behind her and plucked a radiant feather from it. "Your mother and father are so pleased, as am I, that you're already learning to journal. I want to encourage you every step of the way."
Katina giggled gratefully as Sora put the feather in her chubby hand, and she kissed its soft barbs. "Oh, my princess. You honour me," said Sora.
"I don't need a birthday gift tomorrow. I already got the present I wanted right here," declared Katina, as she flipped open her scrapbook, a leather-bound collection of pages with scribbles, drawings, and pasted mementos. Several pages already had Sora's feathers on them, markers of special dates and events in the little Romanov's life. She turned to one page, showing it to Sora. "I'm sticking your feather in this spot today!"
Sora's olive eyes fell on two stick figures of a smiling Katina and Sora, holding hands with a crudely drawn house, sun, and tree in the background. For the first time in a long time since the fallen angel wound up fighting for the Russian royal lineage, her eyes pricked and she almost wanted to cry. "Your Highness," she sighed, voice breaking slightly.
Katina gave Sora's legs a robust hug, before stepping back and smiling up. "Just you wait, Sora," she laughed, her voice light and her face angelic. "I'll learn from you and become the kindest, gentlest ruler of Russia ever!"
1843, present day
Sora stood by the balcony, sighing sadly. Her hands were clasped before her as she leaned over the railings, thinking of her recent visit to Arendelle and the rapidly concluding plans for Russia's invasion of Scandinavia. She watched the magnificent city falling into darkness, crowds bustling, carriages ringing, and horses neighing.
"What happened to you, Katina?" she murmured to herself, red hair blowing in the chilly winter wind. "Something went so wrong." She never knew where that scrapbook went, but she never forgot that innocent drawing: Katina as a little girl, holding the hand of the taller angel as they stood together smiling. That drawing, to Sora, had been more precious than any priceless work of art owned by the Romanovs in their dozens of palaces across Russia.
The door to the Nicholas Hall boomed open as the princess of Russia strode in a pink, floor touching gown. There was a scowl on Katina's face as she walked across the vast hall, and Sora left the balustrade and glided over to meet her. But she stopped as she saw two figures behind her. A golden-haired, golden-eyed man in the vest, shirt, and pants of a seafaring merchant prince. A blonde, silver-eyed young lady in a British equestrian getup. "Will Harrison. Peony Sinclair," said Sora. Even she was taken aback. "I wasn't aware that the Exalted were having a meeting today."
"Leave us, Grand Duke," said Katina curtly. "I have things to discuss with these two."
Sora reached out with a hand. "Katina, I…"
"Can this wait?" said Katina impatiently. "We'll talk later."
Sora bowed her head. "Yes, Your Highness."
She flapped her wings and glided out of the room, ignoring Harrison's arrogant smirk. When the door was firmly shut behind Sora, Katina turned to her fellow Exalted members. "My invasion of Arendelle is going ahead. I trust you guys know and don't object."
Harrison held up his hands. "Hey, I just wanted to control Arendelle's economy. I wasn't expecting you to go this far." He paused, noticing Katina's bared teeth. "Well, to me money is like the wind, easy come, easy go. I don't care a jot for Anna and Elsa, and I never understood Yixin's favour for them. I won't help you with my own resources, but I'm not getting in your way, either."
Katina nodded. "Peony?" she prompted, and for the first time there was slight apprehension in her voice, for as much as she looked down on Peony, the latter spoke with the authority of their leader.
And so Peony did. "Each of us is a member because we alone have the power to keep the world in balance – a solemn duty indeed," she replied. "Lord Yixin has always allowed each of us to act as we saw fit if we noticed certain nations disobeying our mandate. If you think Arendelle is disrupting things, you have every right to correct it."
She raised a brow. "But you should be honest with yourself, Katina. If it's in fact you who's unbalancing the world order with dreams of European conquest and annexation of Scandinavia, and should Arendelle end up being the victor in your pet war – His Lordship will personally remove your claim to Exalted membership…"
Her silver eyes gleamed. "… and tear your windpipe from your throat, and have his servants throw your body into a commoner's ditch."
Suddenly, a cold sweat ran down Katina's face. "What?"
Peony's voice remained even. "If you can't beat Anna, you'd have failed by your own standards. And to His Lordship, you'd have nothing to show for risking global turmoil. It would be a natural consequence for Anna to take your place."
A mixture of stupefied dread fell upon the room. Did they hear Peony correctly?
Was Yixin planning to replace Katina with Anna if Katina failed to conquer Arendelle?
Harrison whistled, crossing his arms. "Ooh, boy. Now that's a gamble. Even I'd have to respect Anna for winning such a bet." He smirked at Katina. "Holy sh*t. Looks like His Imperial Highness is giving you rope to hang yourself with."
"Shut up," snapped an unnerved Katina at Harrison, before turning to Peony. "How can Anna possibly hold a candle to me? Screw her! How can she replace me? I've been loyal to Yixin for years! I made Russia strong!" she growled, unable to hide the quake in her voice. "No! My empire deserves this! He can't do this to me!"
Peony nodded. "May the best woman win," she said ominously.
The Celestial Empire. Yixin's Summer Palace
In the vast hallway of Lord Yixin's throne room, Peony Sinclair bent down, already on her knees, her forehead touching the ground. "You don't need to do that with me," came the hissing voice of China's shadow ruler, as he emerged from the darkness, snake-like eyes peering down at her.
"The one thing we disagree on, Your Lordship," said Peony, as she rose.
"Suit yourself, little one." Yixin turned his back on her, waving his fan before his face. "Did you deliver my message to Katina?"
"I did, verbatim. She got the message." Peony smiled as she gazed at Yixin's Manchu queue. "She was rattled, but now it's too late for her. It's Arendelle against Russia now, and the outcome of that battle will decide her membership and her life. It's not even up to Anna."
Yixin began to giggle shrilly, almost like a child, but behind his sniggers were years upon years of patient planning, dissembling, and puppeteering. If Katina won, Anna would prove herself unworthy of further consideration. But if Anna won, then it would be time to take the next step with her. Everything was going just as planned. At the end of the day, he and the Exalted were the true winners.
"How ironic. The deathblow that Katina thinks she's going to deal Arendelle is going to be Anna's stepping stone into the Exalted. To become my apprentice," he declared. He glanced at Peony. "My girl. Can you imagine the stratospheric heights Arendelle will reach with its ruler among our circle? At last, the light to the world that Arendelle became after Elsa's birth is ready. Its first test – none other than Katina's own invasion."
"Katina's probably realizing why you never said a word about her enmity against Arendelle, my lord. She thought you might have even approved of it – but for totally different reasons," said Peony, smirking.
She lowered her head. "But what if Anna refuses to be initiated? Like Vi refused us?"
Yixin snorted. "That spoilt countess is nothing like the queen of Arendelle. Anna will join for her people's sake. To defend those she loves from future threats like Katina, she'll decide that she has little option but to grow in power… and move up the leagues into our ranks."
Yixin moved his fan away from his face, revealing two rows of deformed, sharp teeth that could tear flesh from bone. "I will have Anna with us. Arendelle will shoot to pre-eminence as a global force. Katina thinks about petty revenge and mere continental conquest, but I've got her and Anna exactly where I want them."
Peony was breathless. "You're already preparing for the day when Katina lies dead at your feet, and a broken Anna, grief-struck, sees no other choice but to join the Exalted."
She licked her lips and tried to relax, her heart beating like a rapid drum as she realized that all along, everyone had been dancing to the prince regent's strings. Now it was all coming together. "You're offering Katina as the first sacrifice to Anna, for the queen of Arendelle to get her first taste of true war and power."
Yixin's deformed, razor-sharp teeth glinted as he began to cackle loudly, his body convulsing in delight as his plans neared fruition. "Poor little Katina," he barked. "Foolish, stupid girl. Oh, Anna – I couldn't have Elsa, nor could Peony bring Viola to me. But you have so much to learn once you're under my wing!"
Peony closed her eyes, her lord's pleasure music to her ears as his cackling echoed throughout the vast halls of the Qing palace.
"Ah, ha ha ha ha. Ah ha hahaha! AH, HA HA HA HA HA!"
THE PIECES ARE IN PLACE, HISTORY READY TO BE WRITTEN, DESTINIES TO BE DECIDED…
PREPARE FOR WAR!

"I……what the…..wha….
I….I'm speechless. This is what Yixin wants. To see if Anna is truly worthy of a place among the Exalted. This is…..this is madness. Katina won't allow this, she'll do whatever it takes. But, would Anna want this? Sure, she doesn't want Arendelle to be conquered by Russia, but would she really want to be aligned with the Exalted, like, officially?
I really don't know what to make of this. This is…..this is crazy."
Don't worry, Sir Alan. My lord has great plans for Anna as a member of the Exalted, *if* she can prove herself and defeat one of our own.
Don't fear our circle. If Arendelle is to be a great power, Anna must accept more power. Real power.
Peony Sinclair
"Yeah but, to do it like THIS?? Don't you think its a LITTLE bit crazy? Just a little?"
And now we see what Yixin has planned. Lose, Arendelle is ruled by Russia. Win, Aredelle is ruled by Yixin.
Again I say, One word; a**holes.
(Michael puts his head on his desk and angrily pounds his right fist harder and yells AAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGHHHH!)
VIOLA! COME HOME QUICK! YIXIN'S GOT US IN A T.A.R.F.U. SITUATION!
The countess might have broken my heart, but more damningly, proved herself unworthy of His Lordship in her mistaken bid for independence. I do hope Anna will be different, and be willing to become his apprentice alongside me.
But only a demonstration of the great tragedy of war and true heartbreak will motivate someone like Anna to truly rise to become a world ruler. The question is whether she'll be willing to accept Lord Yixin's generous and benevolent offer.
Leave the small game to Vi, Minister Michael. We're going to make Anna play in the big leagues.
Maybe so, Peony. The big things we can do over a dinner, a drink at a bar or lounge, those can be easy. The little things, the small game, the details. Those can keep one up at night.

Q: Django admin - Custom change_form.html and 3rd party apps custom change_form I am currently customizing the admin templates of my models and I ran into an issue with ModelAdmin that inherits of 3rd party ones like django-importexport or django-modelclone.
Both of these apps come either with their change_list.html or change_form.html. Each of them extends either admin/change_list.html or admin/change_form.html.
So my Model admin looks like this :
class MyModelAdmin(SuitObjectActionsMixin, ImportExportModelAdmin, ClonableModelAdmin):

I tried to customise my ModelAdmin with adding the file change_form.html into /templates/myapp/mymodel/. I know that should work as it does for another admin that doesn't inherit from any 3rd party apps.
Using the debug toolbar, it appears that the template used is the one of django-modelclone that extends the standard change_form.html and not the one I created.
It seems that 3rd party apps templates override any "local" custom template just by extending the standard one.
Is there a clean way to solve this problem ?

A: You can specify change form template and change list template in your ModelAdmin class:
class MyModelAdmin(A, B, C):
    change_form_template = 'path/to/my_change_form.html'
    change_list_template = 'path/to/my_change_list.html'

That one worked for me in similar situation.

Q: What are the differences between Adult and Kid versions of The Chronicles of Narnia? There are two different versions of The Chronicles of Narnia books in the market: Adults and Children.
Which one's original (meaning, originally released by the C. S. Lewis)? And, what are the differences between them?

A: An Amazon reviewer has looked into this and reported their findings:

After at least 40 minutes of Googling, I finally found out what the difference between the "adult" version and the regular version is. Apparently the "adult" version includes some essay material about the literature and each book contains a synopsis of information you'd need to know from the other books to read the one you're holding. Other than that, only the packaging is different. The stories all remain the same. I only wish Amazon.com would have provided me this information and saved me the time.

Doing a bit of further digging, it seems that the addition essay is one by C.S Lewis, entitled "On Three Ways of Writing for Children."
Various message boards have discussed this, and the consensus seems to be the same: there is no textual difference between the versions. The "adult" version, however has fewer illustrations and a "plainer" set of covers.

Gospel, blues artist Marva Wright dead at 62
Wednesday, March 24, 2010 6:16am
Local NewsNation / world
NEW ORLEANS — New Orleans blues and gospel singer Marva Wright, 62, died Tuesday, her former manager said.
Adam Shipley confirmed that Wright died of complications from a stroke she suffered last year.
She sang traditional jazz and gospel standards but was better known for sultry, sometimes bawdy blues songs. Among her best known songs were "Heartbreakin' Woman" and "Mama, He Treats Your Daughter Mean."
She released a series of albums on local and international record labels, and frequently performed in Europe and at blues festivals around the country. With her band, the BMWs, she drew large crowds for performances at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.
As a child, Wright listened to her mother sing and play piano at church. Among her childhood memories were visits to Chicago, the adopted home of New Orleans gospel great Mahalia Jackson, who had grown up with Wright's mother.
"My mother would go to the national Baptist convention," Wright once said, according to an account in The Times-Picayune newspaper. "When it convened in Chicago, Mahalia would say, 'Girl, you don't need to get no hotel. Stay with me.' That's what my mother would do. I met Mahalia when I was 9 years old, but I never realized she was that popular until I got older."
But Wright didn't start singing professionally until she was almost 40, according to a biography on her Web site.
Wright was hospitalized last June after suffering a serious stroke following a gig at the CoCo Club on Bourbon Street. Relatives said then that she had just recovered from an earlier, less serious stroke.

Ocasio Cortez LIES To Cover Up MASSIVE Jobs Failure Meanwhile Trump Boasts Best Numbers Of Our Lives

Ocasio Cortez LIES To Cover Up MASSIVE Jobs Failure Meanwhile Trump Boasts Best Numbers Of Our Lives. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is trying to claim victory after Amazon announced an advertising office will be set up in Manhattan's Hudson yards.
AOC posted a photo smugly sitting while demanding "haters" apologize after she was "proven right" and save NYC "billions"
In reality AOC chased away 25,000 jobs from New York and cost the city billions and the new office being set up has nothing to do with Amazon HQ2 and will only bring, eventually, 1,500 jobs to the city.
The sad truth for AOC is that she is not only an arrogant narcissist much like Trump but that she is failing to make anything meaningful happen.
For all of Trump's faults with his character he is boasting the "best numbers of our lives" following a record smashing jobs report.
While Trump is absolutely worthy of being criticized for his arrogance he at least has hard numbers to back himself up. Ocasio Cortez unfortunately has only arrogance and failure behind her.

Norths break 41-year Shute Shield drought
Northern Suburbs have broken a 41-year premiership drought, clinching the Shute Shield grand final 28-15.
In a see-sawing second half, Norths found themselves trailing with 15 minutes to go, before a penalty and a scintillating Richard Woolf try put them in the box seat for the title.
The sides traded penalties in the opening stages, in a tight early tussle before Norths' scrum pressure paid off in the 25th minute when the home side earned a penalty try.
Norths captain Will Miller was once again crucial for his side after a season in which he was crowned the best player in the Shute Shield.
Miller added to his decorated week, claiming the man of the series award after a superb finals campaign finished with a title in front of his home crowd.
"I've got to pinch myself, can't believe it," he said after the match.
"It (the home crowd) definitely got us over the line."
A 56th minute penalty goal gave Norths a handy 10-point buffer, but that didn't last long.
Uni captain Tom Carter didn't let the game slip away without a fight, scoring in the 58th minute, finishing off a deft attacking move from scrumhalf Jake Gordon.
Tolu Latu, who switched from loosehead to hooker in the match, put the students in front for the first time in the match with 15 minutes to go.

Angus Sinclair edged Norths in front with just over eight minutes to go, as the clock wound down in the nailbiting season conclusion.
Sinclair and brother, Hugh, combined to set up Woolf for the ultimate match winner, with the right winger streaking away and Angus Sinclair converting.
That assist from Hugh Sinclair capped a man-of-the-match performance for the number eight, in what was a dominant backrow performance for Norths.
Congrats @NSRFC_AUS Great game! #scubar

A try in the final minute sealed the drought-breaker for Norths, with the side unable to attempt the conversion as their supporters flooded North Sydney Oval.
"This year's been pretty special and what a way to finish it," Hugh Sinclair said after the match.
Uni captain Tom Carter gave all the credit to his opponents post-match, after his final game for the students..
"It's been [41] years since they won a premiership and they were brilliantly led by Will MIller they were too good.
"Some people might think it will be just rewards for me to finish a loser but the game's given me so much and I'm really fortunate."
The win gave Northern Suburbs their 13th win in a row and their first crown since 1975, in their first final appearance in 18 years.

A Year in Opposition – Manthan with P Chidambaram in Hyderabad on March 19, 2016
5.45 pm – 6 pm – Tea
6 pm to 7 pm – Talks
7 pm onward – manthan (discussion)
P. Chidambaram, one of India's best-known politicians, offers a keen economic and political analysis of [email protected]—the tumult of the 2015 Bihar election, the debates surrounding the Land Acquisition Amendment ordinances and the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Bill, and the alarming rise of intolerance.
Shri Chidambaram does not to shy away from any subject, no matter how contentious. He will examine issues as varied as the true mandate of the Reserve Bank of India, the implications of the Union Budgets, the successes and failures of the United Progressive Alliance Government, and the formidable challenges that lie ahead of the Modi regime.
Equally, he would present a compass for the future—underscoring the need for humility while administering a complex nation and for accommodating Opposition voices for the greater common good.
His talk will play out the true meaning of a vibrant democracy—a system of governance in which the Opposition stands guard and remains as responsible as the government of the day.
His talk, based on his compilation of essays, 'Standing Guard' is evidence why P. Chidambaram is considered not just an accomplished economist and administrator, but also a statesman of the finest calibre.
Dr Y V Reddy, former Governor, Reserve Bank of India, will give an introductory talk and be part of the conversation with Shri Chidambaram.
P Chidambaram
P. Chidambaram is a former Union Minister of Finance and has also served as the Union Minister for Home in the Government of India. He is an eminent lawyer practising in the Supreme Court. A public intellectual and author, his first collection of essays was published in 2006 under the title A View from the Outside: Why Good Economics Works for Everyone. He writes a weekly column on the economy, politics, social issues, foreign policy and contemporary affairs. He is a member of the Indian National Congress, the country's oldest political party, and was elected to Parliament seven times from the Sivaganga constituency in Tamil Nadu.

What then makes website design optimal? Web design is optimal when it seeks to provide maximum utility to users while providing business or operational viability. In this way, the designer is able to best provide for the demand of both the end consumers as well as the people who plan and conceptualize for the purpose of deriving profit.
Moreover, optimal website design when it comes to business applications when the website is able to integrate itself to all the collective efforts, like marketing strategies and the like, of any company hoping to gain an edge through the Internet. This means that in the end, while aesthetics play an important role, creating an optimal web design is still one that best accommodates without alienation its users, sponsors, and website design planners.


Vahagn Hayrapetyan, a student of Barry Harris and Frank Hewitt and an "Honored artist of the Republic of Armenia," is an accomplished jazz pianist, singer and composer, the founder and director of the avant-garde jazz and rock band "Katouner" ("The Cats"). Once, when Vahagn was eight years old, his grandfather began rattling off names of cities, and Vahagn asked him to mark them on a map and connect them with lines. Little did he know that the man, a Genocide survivor, was drawing the route of his salvation.
Bedros Hayrapetyan, Vahagn Hayrapetyan's grandfather, was ten-years-old when the massacres began. His father was a military man, and the two hadn't seen each other for a long time. The Turks were driving the Armenians of Eskişehir and other, surrounding settlements into the desert. Bedros was from the village of Nalloukhan (now the province of Ankara), some 120 kilometers northeast of Eskişehir. Bedros would lose his mother, two brothers and aunts on the road of exile.
"During the deportations, a Turk from one of the villages took me and cared for me for a few months. I was an energetic and handsome child. The Turk treated me well. News had gotten out that there was an Armenian child in the village, and they took me in the second wave of deportations," says Vahagn remembers his grandfather saying.
The road of deprivation led to Der-ez-Zor. Grandfather Bedros told his grandkids that he was extremely parched, when he spotted a watering hole. He took a piece of handkerchief and threw it in to soak up the water. He lapped up the water from the handkerchief. When he turned it over, there were red worms all over it.
Bedros walked all the way to Der-ez-Zor with the other deportees. When they reached the desert, news spread that Wolrd War I had ended and an order had been issued to let the Armenians loose in the desert. Bedros stayed in a burrow.
It's not clear how Bedros made his way to Istanbul, where he got by cleaning shoes and later learned the shoemaking trade. He remained there until 1923. One day, in one of the local Armenian churches, Bedros saw his father lying on the ground.
"His father was in the military. The Turks had taken him prior to the massacres. When they met in Istanbul, they recognized each other, but the man had become delirious and was in poor health. We don't know what happened, but Bedros never saw his father again in Istanbul," recounts Vahagn.
Hiding in a boat, Bedros made his way from Turkey to Greece in 1923. He started to work in photography and decided to travel to France to learn the profession. and then return to Greece.
He landed in Marseille, then went to the Paris suburb of Alfortville. In France, Bedros fell in love and forgot about learning photography and returning to Greece. "It was like a movie. My grandmother was riding a bike in Paris when a fly got in her eye. She stopped to remove it and my grandfather, who was passing by, helped her. That's how they met," says Vahagn. In 1933, Bedros from Nalloukhan and Hripsimeh, a native of Ankara, married in France.
Hripsimeh Vardanyan had just been born when her family fled from Ankara to France. Her mother, weakened by the travel, wrapped Hripsimeh in swaddling clothes and left her in the forest. The baby remained in the forest for a few hours. Regretting what she had done, her mother returned for her.
Bedros worked as a butcher in a store he and some friends opened in Alfortville.
Because of a problem with his documents, his friends couldn't register Bedros as a co-owner of the butcher shop. Bedros became quite angry. One day, still blinded by rage, Bedros spotted a group of men on the street, holding a sign that said "Registration of those wishing to leave for Soviet Armenia." "Sign me up. I'm going!" Bedros exclaimed.
In 1936, Bedros and Hripsimeh boarded the first boat taking repatriates from France to Armenia. The couple settled in the town of Sovetashen. Bedros worked as a fire truck driver at the Sakharov Square fire station in Yerevan, a building that still stands to this day. They were given a place to live in the attic.
A list of repatriates from France to Soviet Armenia. The names of Bedros (36) and Hripsimeh (21) Hayrapetyan appear at the top. Image courtesy of the National Archive of Armenia.
The couple's first child, named Garabed after Bedros' father, was born in 1942. "My grandmother would say that she once saw a movie in France about a violinist. She was so taken with the main character that she decided that her child would become a violinist as well," recounts Vahagn. Thus a film decided the fate of their son Garo Hayrapetyan, a famous violinist.
Bedros's heirs – two children, five grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren – grew up in Yerevan and established a musical dynasty. Bedros' grandsons Vahagn Hayrapetyan and Levon Pouchinyan became a pianist and a trumpeter, respectively. Bedros's great-grandson, pianist Armen Pouchinyan, is already a medal winner at the age of 11.

Waylon Jennings Delivers a Stunning "Delta Dawn" Rendition
"Delta Dawn:" Tanya Tucker's Signature Hit
One of the most iconic songs of all time, "Delta Dawn" was penned by former child rockabilly star Larry Collins and songwriter Alex Harvey. It became a smash for Tanya Tucker when she recorded it in 1972. Also, Australian singer-actress Helen Reddy covered it the following year and made it to number one on the charts.
Check out Tanya Tucker's version of "Delta Dawn:"
Best known today as Tucker's signature song, "Delta Dawn" has a history to tell. Harvey, one of the songwriters of the songs, was the first to record it. Also, Harvey's two backup singers, Dianne Davidson, and Tracy Nelson, each did a rendition of the song. In addition, due to the rising popularity of the song, pop music artist Bette Midler also included it in one of her recordings. To note, she covered the said song for her debut studio album, The Divine Miss M.
In May 1972, "Delta Dawn" finally fell into Tucker's hands as she gave an amazing flavor to the popular song. Interestingly, she was just 13 years old when she got to record the hit.
Tucker's version reached no. 6 on the country chart. This led to more country covers of the song including the versions of The Statler Brothers and Scott Walker.
Waylon Jennings' Cover of the Song
While the song has got to be recorded by Tucker in early 1972, country outlaw legend Waylon Jennings managed to include a recording of the hit on his album Ladies Love Outlaws. Notably, Jennings never got to release his version of "Delta Dawn" as a single. Maybe if he did, we would not be surprised if it became a smash hit under his name.
The husky, gritty vocals of Jennings is simply perfect for the song. Moreover, he sounds seemingly haunting as he blows every verse. Overall, Jenning's cover was as equally powerful as that of Tucker's.
Listen and be amazed by Waylon Jennings as he renders this signature hit of Tucker:

Holistic Approach, Salutogenesis, and the Contribution of CAM
The holistic model describes interactions between mental, psychosocial and biological factors in the cause and progression of illness and disease. How an individual interprets and responds to the outer and inner environment determines responses to stress, influences health behaviour, contributes to the neuro endocrine and immune response, and may ultimately affect health outcomes. The actual manifestation of disease is always multi-causal and depends on the conjunction of precipitating mental, psychosocial and pathogenic factors, along with the individual's constitutional susceptibilities in general and in particular organ systems. Environmental hazards, infectious agents and psychological stressors are destabilizing factors, whereupon internal system agents act or are ready to act to maintain constancy or homeostasis. Disease is a failure of adaptive response, resulting in disruption of the overall equilibrium of the system. Within the holistic model health is not merely the absence of disease, but the ability of an organism to respond adaptively to a wide range of environmental hazards, infectious agents and psychological stressors.
Within the concept of salutogenesis (10) health is seen as a movement in a continuum on an axis between total ill health (dis-ease) and total health (ease), in which it is more important to focus on peoples' resources and capacity to create health than the classic focus on risks, ill health, and disease. This approach is increasingly gaining a more central position in public health and health promotion research and practice. The ability to comprehend the whole situation and the capacity to use the resources available is called 'sense of coherence'. This capacity is a combination of peoples' ability to assess and understand the situation they were in, to find a meaning to move in a health promoting direction, also having the capacity to do so-that is, comprehensibility, meaningfulness, and manageability. The beauty of the conceptual world of the salutogenesis is its dynamic and flexible approach and the persistent focus on ability and capacity to manage. There is evidence (Surtees et al.) (11) demonstrating that a strong sense of coherence is associated with a 30% reduction in mortality from all causes, cardiovascular disease and cancer, independent of age, sex, and prevalent chronic disease. In the final report of the European Masters for Health Promotion (EUMAHP) this sense of coherence is also used as a learning principle.
Most CAM therapies are based on a holistic approach of the individual patient and are primarily aimed at promoting health rather than defeating disease, in other words giving importance to salutogenesis in addition to pathogenesis. The holistic CAM practitioner typically sees each patient as unique and tailors their advice to fit the patient's life, rather than expecting him/her to adapt to a standard set of recommendations. CAM therapies involve the patient as an active partner in his/her care, with an
emphasis on patient education concerning how they can best improve their health.

Willem Godfried (Wiel) Bremen (17 July 1925 – 24 February 2014) was a Dutch politician, he served at different times as a member of the States of Limburg, and House of Representatives of the Netherlands between 1970 and 1981. He was member of the Catholic People's Party, and after its merger in 1980 the Christian Democratic Appeal.

Career
Bremen was born on 17 July 1925 in Kerkrade, the son of a mineworker. He followed the steps of his father and started working in the mining industry in 1944. Bremen started his political career on 4 September 1962 when he became member of the municipal council of Kerkrade. On 10 November 1964 he concurrently became alderman for public works and city development. His municipal positions both ended in January 1972. Some years earlier, in June 1970 Wiel became member of the States of Limburg. He was member for three years, until 1973.

In the general election of 1971 Bremen was elected to the House of Representatives for the Catholic People's Party. In 1972 he was candidate to be part of the Provincial-Executive of Limburg, but his party, the Catholic People's Party of Limburg, saw him as too important of voice of Limburg to lose in the House of Representatives.
His membership of the House of Representatives ended on 10 June 1981. Between August 1980 and 1 January 1982 he was acting mayor of Geulle, on that latter date the municipality was merged into Meerssen.

On 29 April 1987 he was made Officer in the Order of Orange-Nassau.

He died on 24 February 2014 in Maastricht.

Q: Why constraint cannot be added? I have a graph tables and want to add constraint. Do as in the MS doc here
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/tables/graph-edge-constraints?view=sql-server-2017
I do it:
ALTER TABLE bought ADD CONSTRAINT EC_BOUGHT1 CONNECTION (Customer TO Product, Supplier TO Product);

But receive the error:

Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 3
Incorrect syntax near 'CONNECTION'.

What is the reason? how to fix it?

A: I suspect edge constraints were included in SQL Server 2017 CTP 2.0 but the feature didn't make the RTM version. I don't have an old SQL Server CTP install to verify my theory but edge constraints are not available in SQL Server 2017 RTM, at least through the latest CU (CU31 as of this writing).
Per the comments, @siggemannen submitted doc feedback to have the documentation clarified. Edge constraints are available in SQL Server 2019 and later versions, including Azure SQL Database.


Though it's one of the more common butterflies in this part of Nebraska, the eastern tailed-blue doesn't get much attention. One reason is that it is pretty small. With a wingspan of about an inch, it isn't much bigger than the white clover flowers it's often feeding on in our yard. Its name comes from the protrusions on its wings that set it apart from other blues (butterflies in the subfamily Polyommatinae). The name "blue" comes from the striking color on the dorsal side of the wings of males.
An eastern tailed-blue displaying its incredible blue color while sitting on my finger. I found this male in my yard and it was either too weak, tired, or sick, to fly away when I picked it up. It provided an unusual look at the dorsal side of the wings of this species.
Blues rarely show the dorsal (top) side of their wings except in flight. The rest of the time, all we get to see are the pale undersides of the wings, highlighted by dark spots and splashes of orange – the size and arrangement of which help distinguish species from each other. There are several species of little blue butterflies found around here, including the Melissa blue and Reakirt's blue, but 95% of what I see in the Platte River Prairies and in my yard are eastern tailed-blues.
The Melissa blue has much more orange on the ventral side of its wings than the eastern tailed-blue. The endangered Karner blue, found only in a few isolated places in the eastern U.S. is a subspecies of the more widespread Melissa blue.

Lovely. Thank you for a bit of color on a gloomy November day!
I saw a pair of Karner blue butterflies close to the type locality in the Pine Bush of Albany, NY. Butterfly collectors were a problem, but I think that activity has largely been stopped. Historical accounts say Karner blue butterflies were like a flittering cloud. However, despite visiting the Pine Bush often those two butterflies were the only Karner blue butterflies I have ever seen. It is a mystery why they continue to be so rare despite continuing conservation efforts.

2011 D&D Gaming Goals
by Mike Shea on 3 January 2011
It's nice to hit the reset button on life every so often. A new year gives us this chance. We can start fresh, with new goals and new plans to get us where we want to go. This is no different in our chosen hobby of Dungeons and Dragons. Today we'll look at some potential gaming goals that will help all of us move forward to be the best dungeon masters we can.
Run 50 D&D games this year
The best way to get good at something is to do it. There's no other way to become a great dungeon master than to run games, lots of them. Fifty games in a year sounds like a whole lot. For some, it's an impossible goal. Keeping up a weekly game is very hard work. However, with local gaming groups, easy to play games like Gamma World, and the soon-to-be-released Virtual Tabletop, we have more options than ever before to run some games. Set up a routine, build a solid weekly gaming group, and start running some games.
This year, let your players develop their own quests
I believe it was gaming sage, Chris Sims who pointed out that the best quests are those developed by players rather than the DM. It's important for the DM to solidify quests but the core of those quests should be based on the actions and decisions of the players. Did the PCs have a particularly interesting and unplanned conversation with a local street urchin whose sister was taken in by a particularly nasty brothel? Turn that into a quest! Did the PCs uncover a rumor of an ancient shrine of Yuan-ti a few days journey away? Turn that into a quest as well. Rather than doing what we did last year, developing a hand-full of quests ahead of time, use the actions and interests of the players to develop their own tree of potential quests in 2011.
This year, run shorter mini-campaigns than a single huge one
We might have enjoyed running through fifty adventures last year following our epic story lines of love, betrayal, destruction, and rebirth, but maybe we should stick to something a little simpler this year. Instead of huge campaigns that usually just end in the middle anyway, why not focus our campaigns around simpler story lines like a single TV season instead of a huge multi-season epic. Run six nights of Gamma World followed by twelve nights of Dark Sun followed by ten nights of paragon-tier D&D Essentials. Give your players a chance to explore the breadth of 4th Edition campaign worlds.
Attend a gaming convention
We rarely feel more at home than with twenty to forty thousand of our brothers and sisters of nerd-dom. There's nothing quite like watching two hundred concurrent D&D games going on at the same time. If you've never been, there are many great opportunities throughout the year. Gencon, the grandfather of tabletop gaming conventions, is always a big hit. PAX and PAX-East are the newer gaming conventions but bring a great mix of electronic and tabletop gamers in the same place. D&D Experience is a bit more intimate with only a few hundred players, but it gives you a great chance to mingle with the designers and developers of D&D as well as game your ass off for three days. We might also look into local gamer conventions like my beloved SynDCon as well. Either way, we should make it a point to schedule in at least one gamer convention this year.
This year we'll steal more ideas from current console and PC games
Sure, there's a stigma against turning D&D into a video game but there's a lot of shared design between the two platforms that we might waste if we worry too much about it. Instead, this year we will embrace ideas wherever they might come from. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (Ass:Bro to you and I) has the potential to bring a lot of ideas to our table. The most recent World of Warcraft expansion, Catacalysm, has tons of interesting quest and encounter designs we might steal. A new Dragon Age and a new Mass Effect later this year might also help us stretch the bounds of our encounter designs. Want some bonus points, figure out how to build an Angry Birds encounter.
This year, give someone else a chance to DM
One of our prime duties as a dungeon master is to build more dungeon masters. We can't do this if we aren't willing to step back from the table once in a while and let someone else have a shot at it. This year, take that big step and give someone else a chance to run a game or two. You don't have to relinquish your screen forever but it might be nice to take a break and let someone else have a shot.
A year of potential
It's a great year to dig deep into D&D 4th edition. The game has matured well, giving us a far more balanced game than we had in the beginning. Material is nearly limitless in helping us build shared worlds for our players to explore. All the materials we need to play are affordable, easy to acquire, and usable. Let's begin the year right. Get out there and run some awesome games.

5 YA Titles for Teens Containing Tough Mental Issues

5 YA Titles for Teens Containing
Tough Mental Issues
We all know kids want to read books about people like them. That is also true when kids are suffering or looking for answers. Following are books released this year that cover topics like mental illness and other tough issues. I haven't read these yet but they look promising.
The First Time She Drowned. by Kerry Kletter
Cassie O'Malley has been trying to keep her head above water—literally and metaphorically—since birth. It's been two and a half years since Cassie's mother dumped her in a mental institution against her will, and now, at eighteen, Cassie is finally able to reclaim her life and enter the world on her own terms.
But freedom is a poor match against a lifetime of psychological damage. As Cassie plumbs the depths of her new surroundings, the startling truths she uncovers about her own family narrative make it impossible to cut the tethers of a tumultuous past. And when the unhealthy mother-daughter relationship that defined Cassie's childhood and adolescence threatens to pull her under once again, Cassie must decide: whose version of history is real? And more important, whose life must she save?
This title intrigued me because of the obvious mental illness theme. I wonder how many teens have been in a treatment facility and can relate?
Exit, Pursued by a Bear by EK Johnston
Hermione Winters is captain of her cheerleading team, and in tiny Palermo Heights, this doesn't mean what you think it means. At PHHS, the cheerleaders don't cheer for the sports teams; they are the sports team—the pride and joy of a tiny town. The team's summer training camp is Hermione's last and marks the beginning of the end of…she's not sure what. She does know this season could make her a legend. But during a camp party, someone slips something in her drink. And it all goes black.
In every class, there's a star cheerleader and a pariah pregnant girl. They're never supposed to be the same person. Hermione struggles to regain the control she's always had and faces a wrenching decision about how to move on. The assault wasn't the beginning of Hermione Winter's story and she's not going to let it be the end. She won't be anyone's cautionary tale.
While it isn't obvious, this is a story about surviving rape. A story that still needs to be told unfortunately.
Still Life with Tornado by AS King
Actually Sarah is several human beings. At once. And only one of them is sixteen. Her parents insist she's a gifted artist with a bright future, but now she can't draw a thing, not even her own hand. Meanwhile, there's a ten-year-old Sarah with a filthy mouth, a bad sunburn, and a clear memory of the family vacation in Mexico that ruined everything. She's a ray of sunshine compared to twenty-three-year-old Sarah, who has snazzy highlights and a bad attitude. And then there's forty-year-old Sarah (makes good queso dip, doesn't wear a bra, really wants sixteen-year-old Sarah to tell the truth about her art teacher). They're all wandering Philadelphia—along with a homeless artist allegedly named Earl—and they're all worried about Sarah's future.
If you're familiar with AS King you know her stories start out as one thing and end up as something else. And always there's a mental health issue at stake.
Highly Illogical Behavior. by John Corey Whaley
Sixteen-year-old Solomon is agoraphobic. He hasn't left the house in three years, which is fine by him.
Ambitious Lisa desperately wants to get into the second-best psychology program for college (she's being realistic). But is ambition alone enough to get her in?
Enter Lisa.
Determined to "fix" Sol, Lisa steps into his world, along with her charming boyfriend, Clark, and soon the three form an unexpected bond. But, as Lisa learns more about Sol and he and Clark grow closer and closer, the walls they've built around themselves start to collapse and their friendships threaten to do the same.
This kid is agoraphobic. I wonder how many kids today are? This is not a subject to take lightly to laugh at. I hope it does the issue justice.
If I Was Your Girl. by Meredith Russo
Amanda Hardy is the new girl in school in Lambertville, Tennessee. Like any other girl, all she wants is to make friends and fit in. But Amanda is keeping a secret. There's a reason why she transferred schools for her senior year, and why she's determined not to get too close to anyone.
And then she meets Grant Everett. Grant is unlike anyone she's ever met—open, honest, kind—and Amanda can't help but start to let him into her life. As they spend more time together, she finds herself yearning to share with Grant everything about herself…including her past. But she's terrified that once she tells Grant the truth, he won't be able to see past it.
Because the secret that Amanda's been keeping? It's that she used to be Andrew.
Gender reassignment is gaining understanding and I think it's great that books are available to help teens process it.
Have you read any of these books?

As retailers rely more heavily on promotions to drive traffic, Michael Kors Holdings Ltd. and Ralph Lauren Corp. have been two of the biggest victims.
NEW YORK, United States — As retailers rely more heavily on promotions to drive traffic, Michael Kors Holdings Ltd. and Ralph Lauren Corp. have been two of the biggest victims.
The brands were among the most heavily discounted at upscale U.S. retailers in recent months, according to Edited, a company that crunches data for the fashion industry. That supports the view of Michael Kors Chief Executive Officer John Idol, who said promotions reached an all-time high last quarter. Fashion brands and retailers slashed prices on products by as much as 80 percent in May, June and July, Edited found.
While the promotional spree has shown signs of helping pull department stores out of a funk, the trend has tarnished brands and trained consumers to expect special deals. In July alone, about 2,400 e-mails touting specials were sent to shoppers across the U.S., according to Edited. That environment is especially painful for brands meant to connote luxury, prompting Michael Kors and others to push back against the discounts.
The dynamics between luxury brands and department stores have changed over the years. The retailers were once a dominant channel for fashion houses to bring exposure to their handbags and dresses. Department stores didn't face as much competition and were less reliant on discounts. And brands would sell the stores exclusive items to make sure products didn't clash with what was at their own shops, said Natalie Kotlyar, a partner at consulting and accounting firm BDO USA LLP.
But these days, retailers can't afford to sell items at full price -- and that's made for a tense relationship with apparel brands.
The rise of e-commerce has made it difficult to charge full price for goods. Shoppers can buy items online -- or at least comparison-shop. That, coupled with a slowdown in foreign tourists and tight budgets, has caused a drop in foot traffic at many malls. In turn, that leads to more discounting.
Michael Kors shares have lost about half their value since hitting a peak in 2014, though the stock has begun to rebound this year. On Monday, it fell 0.3 percent to $49.94 as of 11:01 a.m. in New York. Ralph Lauren, down more than 40 percent from its 2013 high, dropped 0.3 percent to $108.59 on Monday.
Michael Kors is trying to retake control of the situation by ending all coupons and friends-and-family sales at department stores. Other fashion houses are taking a similar tack. Kate Spade & Co. has already been cutting promotional days, while Ralph Lauren is reducing excess inventory even if it hurts sales. Coach Inc., meanwhile, plans to close 25 percent of its department-store locations.
But weaning shoppers off discounting isn't easy.
Each holiday becomes a reason for discounting: Mother's Day and Memorial Day in May; Father's Day in June; and Independence Day and Amazon.com Inc.'s Prime Day in July. That's on top of retailers' individual sale events, such as Nordstrom's anniversary sale, which the retailer said helped it reach record sales volume.
"Today, the consumer is so brainwashed to purchase even luxury products on sale," BDO's Kotlyar said.
A luxury brand can charge full price at its own store -- say, a Coach shop -- but it's harder to tell department stores what they should charge.
"It's more difficult to control the markdown when they are not in your store," she said.
Outlet malls and off-price stores, such as T.J. Maxx, have become more popular among shoppers. At the discount chain Nordstrom Rack, sales jumped 11 percent in the second quarter. Compare that with the 0.4 percent decline at Nordstrom's regular stores and website.
With constant offers of promotions, fashion houses aren't sure how much to charge for products anymore, said Edited's Smith. But they may still have the upper hand over department stores, which are struggling to stay relevant. Brands can sell more merchandise online or in their stores.

Europeans who want to buy a Honda powered exclusively by gasoline or diesel need to act quickly.
The Japanese carmaker announced Wednesday that it will sell only electric and hybrid vehicles in Europe starting in 2022, three years earlier than previously planned.
Honda (HMC) said that the accelerated timetable reflects its confidence in green technology and regulatory changes that have upended the industry in Europe.
"The pace of change in regulation, the market, and consumer behavior in Europe means that the shift towards electrification is happening faster here than anywhere else," said Tom Gardner, senior vice president at Honda.
The carmaker said it will launch six new models in Europe over the next three years in order to meet its goal, including a hybrid version of the Jazz that goes on sale next year.
The race to cleaner cars is underway globally, and automakers are investing heavily to avoid getting left behind.

Renewable energy is booming. But it's not growing fast enough to fight climate change
Factories are being overhauled to produce new models, and automakers are snapping up batteries. One of the biggest drivers is the need to meet strict emissions standards in China and Europe.
German carmaking king Volkswagen (VLKAF) is spending €30 billion ($34 billion) over the next five years to make an electric or hybrid version of every vehicle in its lineup, and it plans to launch 70 new electric models by 2028.
South Korea's largest car company, Hyundai (HYMTF), said last week that it planned to invest 41 trillion won ($35 billion) into electric cars and autonomous driving by 2025. Hyundai (HYMTF) plans to release 23 kinds of electric vehicles by then, making up roughly half of its new lineup.
By 2040, electric cars could make up 57% of all passenger car sales worldwide, according to an analysis by Bloomberg New Energy Finance.

Q: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 0-1: ordinal not in range(128) when i add ForeignKey relation in model Sorry for repeated question but any of asked question did not help me so i have ask it again
my models.py
class Country(models.Model):
    countryId=models.IntegerField(default=0)
    country=models.CharField(max_length=50)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.country

class State(models.Model):
    state_id=models.IntegerField(default=0)
    state=models.CharField(max_length=50)
    countryId=models.ForeignKey(Country,default='000')

    def __str__(self):
        return self.state

class City(models.Model):
    cityid=models.IntegerField(default=0)
    city=models.CharField(max_length=50)
    state_id=models.ForeignKey(State,default='000')

    # def __unicode__(self):
    #   return u'%s' % self.city

    def __str__(self):
        return ('Proposal for: %s' % self.city).encode('utf8')

When i Comment ForeignKey in State,it working fine.
If i use this ForeignKey it throw me an error 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 0-1: ordinal not in range(128)
Unicode error hint

The string that could not be encoded/decoded was: Ãstfol

A: I found the solution. It's solved by:
return self.state.encode('utf8')

A: If you use Python 2 (and it seems that you do) you should use __unicode__ instead of __str__, for example:
def __unicode__(self):
    return self.state

This will solve your problems with encoding.
In Python 3 however __str__ in the way to go (because the devision between normal strings and unicode strings doesn't exist in Python 3).

More information about Chilly Gonzales tickets
The Grammy-winning Canadian pianist and entertainer is known as much for the intimate piano touch of best-selling albums Solo Piano I and Solo Piano II as for his showmanship and composition for award-winning stars. Gonzo, as he is known to close collaborators, aims to be a man of his time, approaching the piano with classical and jazz training but with the attitude of a rapper.
Chilly Gonzales holds the Guinness World Record for the longest solo concert at over 27 hours. He performs and writes songs with Jarvis Cocker, Feist and Drake, among others.
Following a number of sold out London shows over the past few years, 2020 sees Chilly's return to the stage with a new programme that opens, as always, with various medleys of intimate pieces from the Solo Piano Trilogy. Both hits and hidden surprises from the rest of his repertoire will be found interspersed with new Christmas-themed Masterclasses, full of playful explanations about how music works. This December show . so close to the Holidays . will surely contain some very Chilly Christmas surprises.
For this tour, Chilly Gonzales is joined on stage for a portion of the show by Stella Le Page on cello & vocals. Stella has workedwith many artists including Plan B, Primary 1, Château Marmont, Benjamin Clementine.
'Chilly plays like a dream, tender revels punctuated with comic smacks in the high notes, rolling through enchanting melodies to mesmerising jazz and riffs that recall Schubert.' (????? Arts Desk)
