Q: Checkbox неправильно меняется в React

function App() {
  const [state, setState] = useState(false);
  const input = React.createRef()
  const input2 = React.createRef()

  function handleClick() {
    setState(input2.current.value)
  }

  return (
    <>
      <input type="checkbox" ref={input} checked={state}/>
      <select ref={input2} onChange={handleClick}>
        <option value={false}>OFF</option>
        <option value={true}>ON</option>
      </select>
    </>
  );
}

Нужно при соответствуещем выбраном поле в select делать checkbox вкл или выкл. Но вылазит такая ошибка (уведомление)
Warning: Received the string true for the boolean attribute checked. Although this works, it will not work as expected if you pass the string "false". Did you mean checked={true}?

A: Пару замечаний:

*

*Чисто в этом компоненте вам не нужны ref-ы вообще (если конечно - это полный код компоненты)

*В каком бы виде вы не писали в value, тега option данные, они всегда будут в строчном виде (сделал вывод в консоль чтобы убедились в этом). По этой причине вам на вход приходили не true и false, а "true" и "false". И как мы знаем в JS НЕ пустая строка при конвертации в булевую переменную всегда даст true, следовательно checkbox всегда будет помеченным, кроме как начального состояния т.к. там действительно сначала стоит булевая переменная false

*Проверять условие в самом аттрибуте не стоит. Не то чтобы это не будет работать, а так код будет чище и понятнее, если handleClick сам займётся всеми нужными преобразованиями и уже вставит нужное значение

*Писать проверку типа x === y ? true : false бессмысленно, т.к. x === y и так вернёт вам true, если они равны и false. если они не равны

Код:

const {useState} = React;

function App() {
  const [state, setState] = useState(false);

  function handleClick(e) {
    const value = e.target.value;

    console.log(value, typeof value);
    setState(value === 'true');
  }

  return (
    <React.Fragment>
      <input type="checkbox" checked={state}/>
      <select onChange={handleClick}>
        <option value={false}>OFF</option>
        <option value={true}>ON</option>
      </select>
    </React.Fragment>
  );
}

ReactDOM.render(
  <App />,
  document.getElementById('react')
);

2020 Masters Tournament
Patrick Smith / Getty Images
Dustin Johnson during the 2020 Masters.
By Emily Chin, Staff Writer
Wrapping up the 84th Masters on Sunday, Nov. 15, 2020, the three-day tournament ended up with Dustin Johnson taking home the Green Jacket. The Masters is one out of the four major championships, generally taking place the first week of April at the Augusta Golf Club in Georgia. This year was a little different with the tournament being delayed seven months and taking place in mid-November.
Before the tournament started, the most anticipated players other than Johnson were Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas, Brooks Koepka, and of course the 15-time major, champ Tiger Woods. So, what really happened during the Masters?
From the start, DeChambeau's performance was not what people were expecting. Coming into the Masters it was believed that his competitive nature and sharp game would've landed him a spot between 1-10. Instead, he ended up tied for 34th place ending with a total of -2. His past couple of tournaments have been played phenomenally especially his six-shot rout at the U.S Open in September, but the most disappointing rounds during the Masters were when he double-bogeyed the 13th hole in the first round, and triple-bogeyed the par-4 third hold in the second. DeChambeau claimed to be dealing with multiple health issues one of them being abdomen pains and dizziness on the course. There is no current explanation for his health so far; he has tested negative for Covid-19.
One of the top ten finishers was Koepka who tied for 7th with a total of -10. In the beginning, it was a little rough, for his first 14 holes he was 2 over par. In the opening three rounds, he totaled 70-69-69, which was eight under. Through the third and fourth round, he started to have a comeback but just fell short. One of the highlights was on the 15th hole, where he had made a 7-foot eagle putt. Although he finished in the top 10, he was not happy with his results claiming in the Sunday flash interview, "Yeah, I'm not really excited right now. Whoo, seventh."
McIlroy was hoping on taking home the green jacket to add Grand Slam winner to his title. Unable to find consistency in the first round, hitting only six of 14 fairways, he was able to make up for it in the later rounds, ultimately finishing T-5. Then there was Woods, placing T-38, his performance at the Masters may be the most disappointing ever in his career. The 12th hole disaster will for sure leave him wondering what he did wrong. For fans, it was embarrassing to watch him find the water three times during the 12th hole while carding an overall 10 on a par-3 course. One of the highest of his career.
Cutting to the end of the Masters, Dustin Johnson had an amazing run. Winning the Masters and setting a historical 72-hole scoring record of 20 under was the biggest victory of the night. Throughout the three-days, he played really consistently solidifying his overall game. Tied for second place were Australian, Cameron Smith, and Korean, Im Sung-Jae with a total of -15.
Johnson who grew up just over an hour away from the Augusta national, ended up on an emotional note. Having to stop multiple times while being interviews by CBS' Amanda Balionis, Johnson couldn't keep it together. He now has two majors, 24 PGA Tour wins, and a green jacket.
Since the Masters was delayed seven months to November, golf fans only have to wait five more months till the 2021 Masters. The 2021 tournament will begin on April 5 and end on April 11, 2021.


I saw Seabear about a month ago and they were so amazing!
What a cute outfit.. Love the type of red..
I spent the weekend with my friends, chatting having a good time.
this weekend i went to see beach house at a cathedral in manchester...such a beautiful venue & totally appropriate for the band!
Love your skirt & sweater!
I love Seabear! They're playing in Warsaw 26th Nov, i have tickets and really can't wait! I love this outfit, Laura, cozy sweater with skirt and basic shirt is my all time favouite.
This is super adorable. Love the sweater with the polka dot skirt, and the bag is gorgeous.
Exactly my favourite sort of outfit. Simple but happy in navy and red!
That polka dot skirt ir perfect with the red sweater!
You are similar to Florence+the machine.
That's great, I love the skirt and colours here!
Laura, you look so sweet. :) This look is perfect in every way! Hope your Monday is going well!

The World Coal Association ignores innovations to reduce electricity prices, raise efficiency and reduce emissions.
Technology now available allows reliable electricity to be generated with just one-third of the coal burned in "High Efficiency, Low Emission" (HELE) coal-fired power plants.
If each bag and balloon represents the energy in 20 million tonnes of coal, and Australia burns 60 million tonnes of coal / yr to produce electricity at present...
That electricity could be generated with just 20 million tonnes of coal combined with hydrogen to produce methane. pic.twitter.com/hxVuBCD75M

By 2030 utilities would have to cut 2/3 of the coal they burn now to hold global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. The cut is more than twice as steep as the boldest scenario outlined by the International Energy Agency. https://t.co/UyDjjfYl9p

The World Coal Association had called for investment in development of technology for cleaner coal in 2015. Now that technology is available, the World Coal Association has slammed a moratorium on its use.
In 2015 the @WorldCoal Association called for investment in "cleaner coal" technology. https://t.co/j0XjHV0cCP
Now the new technology is available, @WorldCoal has imposed an anti-development moratorium on it. #Innovation stalled for clean coal
The Luddites over at @WorldCoal are still hiding from innovation that raises efficiency of coal-derived electricity energy generation. They want higher prices, not improved efficiency @chriskkenny #KennyOnSunday https://t.co/KK92EDxY4E

The natural gas industry also opposes innovations to reduce energy bills and avoid the need for ever more costly drilling and fracking.
Ever done a financial analysis on producing methane from hydrogen and carbon?
Brown coal about 50 cents / GJ, hydrogen from renewable energy at times when supply outstrips demand. https://t.co/1AQTpOkwhS
Beyond HELE - thermal power generation technology
Carbon from many different substances can be combined with hydrogen to produce methane.
When methane is used to fuel an Ultrahigh Temperature Gas Turbine Combined Cycle power station, carbon dioxide emissions are 310 grams per kilowatt-hour.
The amount of carbon needed for each kilowatt-hour from any power station can be calculated if the carbon dioxide intensity is known. Each 44 grams of carbon dioxide contain 12 grams of carbon. The other 32 grams are oxygen.
The Ultrahigh Temperature Gas Turbine Combined Cycle power station needs methane made with 310 x (12 / 44) grams of carbon for each kilowatt-hour of electricity. That is 85 grams of carbon for each kilowatt-hour.
Some other power station technologies need a lot more carbon for each kilowatt-hour of electricity generated.
When coal is used to fuel a high-efficiency low-emission "HELE" ultra-supercritical coal-fired power station, carbon dioxide emissions are 900 grams per kilowatt-hour. The amount of carbon in the coal needed for each kilowatt-hour of electricity generated is 900 x (12 / 44) grams. That is 245 grams of carbon for each kilowatt-hour.
Some other common materials contain carbon that can be used to produce methane.
Each 28 grams of waste polyethylene plastic (C2H4)n contain 24 grams of carbon and 4 grams of hydrogen.
Each kilogram of wheat straw with about 7% moisture content is made of 48% cellulose by weight (of which carbon is 44%) and 25% is lignin by weight (of which carbon is 65%) ... (((1000 x (48 / 100) x (44 / 100)) + (1000 x (25 / 100) x (65 / 100))). That is 374 grams of carbon in each kilogram.
Choosing whether to burn 245 grams of carbon in coal or just 85 grams of carbon in methane to produce each kilowatt-hour of electricity seems to have only one obvious answer.
The World Coal Association simply refuses to answer this question.
Representatives of the gas industry also refuse to answer this question.
So-called "intermittent" renewable energy can be used in two or more ways to make synthetic methane from any material (straw, waste plastic, coal, etc) containing carbon.
One way is to use renewable energy when supply exceeds demand to power a plasma gasifier.
Another way is to use renewable energy to produce hydrogen by electrolysis of water - and combine that hydrogen with carbon from one or more sources.
As well as industry refusing to answer simple questions about innovation, the Australian Government tries to sell gas exploration rights to the gas industry even though this old method of obtaining natural gas - which is mostly methane - is no longer needed.

How to avoid paying 5p charge for carrier bags
Richard Hartley-ParkinsonMonday 5 Oct 2015 7:08 am
(Picture: PA)
England today became the last part of the UK to introduce a charge for plastic carrier bags.
The aim is to reduce litter and protect wildlife, but it's open to confusion because there are exemptions.
Retailers with 250 or more full-time equivalent employees will have to charge a minimum of 5p for the bags – the retailer is then encouraged (not forced) to give the money made to local causes.
MORE: New 5p carrier bag charge: Everything you need to know
Exemptions to the new rule
Uncooked fish
Uncooked meat and poultry
Loose seeds and flowers
Unwrapped blades, including axes, knives, and knife and razor blades
Take your own bags!
It is hoped that the number of single bags used will be cut by 80 per cent in supermarkets and 50 per cent on the high street.
It is also expected to save £60 million in litter clean-up costs and generate £730 million for good causes.
Bags that should not incur a 5p charge
Bags that shouldn't incur a 5p charge
'Woven' plastic bags
Bags used to deliver goods bought online (although some retailers will be charging)
Re-usable 'bags for life'
Those used by dry cleaning or shoe repair shops
This is what you need to know.
The law requires all supermarkets and large stores to charge a minimum of 5p for every single-ujse bag they hand out.
When does the new law come into effect?
English shoppers will start to be charged from today.
Does it apply to all retailers?
No. Only retailers with 250 or more full-time equivalent employees are required to comply with the law, and these retailers are judged by the size of the whole company, not the branch. Smaller businesses can introduce a charge if they want to. The Association of Convenience Stores is urging small businesses to start their own voluntary charging schemes.
Where will the 5p go?
The 5p will go to the retailer with government encouraging them to donate the proceeds to good causes.
Are there any exceptions?
Paper bags from shops in airports or those given out on trains, aircraft or ships are free. Certain items also avoid the fee, including unwrapped food, raw meat, fish and other items that could pose a food safety risk, and prescription medicines, uncovered blades, seeds, bulbs and flowers. And goldfish.

(Picture: Getty Images)
What can I do if I don't want to pay the charge?
Customers can bring and use their own bags for shopping to avoid being charged. Some retailers sell a 'bag for life' for this purpose.
Why is the law being introduced?
The number of single-use carrier bags handed by supermarkets in England rose for a fifth consecutive year in 2014. Last year 7.6billion, or 140 bags per person, were given out, and each of these bags take 1,000 years to break down. Not only are they a very visible form of litter, they use resources and pose a risk to wildlife.
Will the law work?
It remains to be seen but similar schemes have made an immediate and significant impact. When the scheme was rolled out in Wales there was a 79 per cent reduction in plastic bag handouts within three years. Northern Ireland and Scotland have reported similar drops. Not only does the Government hope to see an 80 per cent reduction in single-use carrier bag handouts, it hopes to save hundreds of millions.

Toby Keith believes that stricter gun control laws are not the answer to gun violence in America.
The country superstar was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in New York City on Thursday night (June 18), and on the red carpet before the ceremony, he was asked about the shootings that took place on Wednesday at a church in Charleston, S.C, that left nine people dead. The killings have started a new chapter in the ongoing debate about gun control, which continues to be one of the most polarizing social and political issues in America.
Keith says changing the gun laws wouldn't have made any difference. "If it can happen in church, it can happen anywhere, so there's no answer to it," he told reporters (quote via the Associated Press). "Countries all over the world that have really strict gun polices, like Oslo, Norway. It happens there."
The shootings took place at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church. Police have arrested 21-year-old Dylann Storm Roof of Lexington, S.C., and he's been charged with nine counts of murder for the crime, which was reportedly racially motivated. Investigators say Roof attended the Bible study and stayed for nearly an hour before beginning his killing spree, which left six women and three men dead.
Keith said on Thursday that if a policeman had been present at the Bible study Wednesday evening, "maybe seven or eight of those nine people would still be alive."
The superstar performed at the Taste of Country Music Festival on June 14, and will headline at Country Jam in Colorado this Sunday (June 21).

The Mobile Edible Wall Unit, better known as a "MEWU", which is pronounced "mee woo", is the invention of Green Living Technologies, a Rochester, New York-based company founded by New Jersey native, George Irwin. These walls are increasingly being used in schools for indoor school gardens, in school greenhouses and are broadening the biology and science related learning taking place in high schools that have them.
We first heard about MEWUs from teacher Steve Ritz, who was the keynote speaker at the Green Schools Alliance Conference in New York a few years back. Steve was using the walls in his classroom at the time at Discovery High School in the Bronx. His students were keenly interested in the hands-on applications the walls provided and were seeing first hand what the technological applications were for growing plants and food. Fast forward to 2014 and some of these same students continue to be hired to work on professional job sites, using the skills they gained while incorporating Green Living Technologies' educational programs into their day to day class instruction.
Here in New Jersey, the first school to purchase a MEWU was Monroe Township High School, where Nancy Mitrocsak, the food service director for the district, learned about the walls through the New Jersey Farm to School Network and went on a mission to find funding to bring them to the high school. With the support of District Supervisor of Sciences and Social Studies, Bonnie Burke-Casaletto, the school incorporated the walls into their expanded greenhouse program and teacher Christian Jessop and his students have been using them ever since. In a recent email exchange, the team updated us on their progress, "As a quick and exciting update-we're collaborating with Helen in our Food Service department to harvest a complete wall of basil! It looks and smells wonderful and Mr. Jessop has done much under tough weather conditions during our holiday break to keep our student-created growth projects thriving on-site. Things are green and flourishing."
Meanwhile, at South Hunterdon High School in Tiffany Morey's Floral Design Class, FFA (Future Farmers of America) student Mitchell Haug contributed the following report about the use of a MEWU with fellow students Charles McDaniel, Patrick Charles, Collin Leary, and Isaiah Jones.
"Ever since we unloaded the Green Wall that was loaned to us by New Jersey Farm To School on December 6th and set it up in our Ag Shop, it's been nothing but good times. From packing the boxes with soil to seeding, watering, and overcoming a few engineering challenges, the Wall has provided us with a challenging yet rewarding learning experience.
As the five guys in the floral design class, we weren't always as excited when it came to putting together centerpieces or assembling corsages and boutonnieres, but we did all share a passion for agriculture. When our advisor came to us with the offer that we could use class time to grow and take care of plants in an innovative way, we were thrilled. It wasn't long before we were putting together the wall and loading it up with soil.
Since then we have seen promising results. While there were some early issues with a water recycling system and soil erosion, these issues have since been resolved and we have begun to see germination and the beginnings of life. We currently have six varieties of lettuce planted that we plan to use in the school's cafeteria and culinary classes. We look forward to continuing with the wall and seeing what we can produce!"

Green Living Technologies and the New Jersey Farm to School Network are collaborating on a program to bring more MEWUs into New Jersey schools. If your school or district is interested in learning more, please email us at info@njfarmtoschool.org and put MEWU in the subject line.

Donate fresh food? There's an app for that, coming soon from a N.J. man - and former New Jersey Learner! (By Eunice Lee)

ESSEX COUNTY — Want to donate more fresh food to your local pantry? Talk to Livingston resident Chris Bickel — he is working on an app for that.
An active volunteer with local pantries and the first townwide Food Day coming up on Wednesday, Bickel is raising funds to build a mobile app that's a new twist on old-fashioned giving to food banks.
His app idea, which has gained traction with local pantries, basically creates a "virtual refrigerator" on your smart phone or tablet. The app makes it possible to donate money for healthful foods or actually select the foods — tomatoes, green beans, a dozen eggs.
"The fresh stuff is really what's going to make people feel better," he said.
Eileen Sweeny, coordinator of Pantry Partners for United Way of Northern New Jersey, has been in talks with Bickel about developing the app and believes it will increase healthier options in pantries beyond Livingston.
If the donor gives money, the donation will be sent directly to the designated pantry or soup kitchen for purchasing fresh food. If the donor purchases, say, two bags of apples or three heads of lettuce, it will be delivered directly to the designated charity by participating stores. Several grocers already have expressed interest, Bickel said.
"I think it has enormous potential," said Sweeny, noting that three years ago United Way began its own push for more items like whole wheat pasta or low-sodium canned vegetables. "It could change what's in food pantries and soup kitchens across the country."
The app will also feature a dashboard that shows in real time what a charity's greatest needs are using charts and graphs. Bickel said he needs to raise a few thousand dollars to get the app professionally developed.
Livingston volunteer Chris Bickel knows what it's like to go hungry. He spent eight months homeless as a teenager.
Bickel knows what it's like to go hungry. Growing up in Ventnor, he was the second youngest of eight children in a household where food stamps put meals on the table. At 16, he was homeless for about eight months and was helped by an English teacher and his rowing coach.
Now the supervisor of social studies for Livingston Public Schools, Bickel, 43, serves as the district's liaison to the township's Food Day Committee — which has organized events throughout the month to celebrate healthful food and raise hunger awareness — and has become one of its biggest advocates. On Oct. 14, volunteers including Bickel and the Community Hunger Outreach Warehouse filled a school bus full of donated goods for a series of "Stuff The Bus" events around Essex County.
Many times, hunger is a silent problem in suburbia. "Sue," a 48-year-old Livingston resident, is one example. As a working single mom of three, she struggles to make ends meet and receives food from St. Philomena's pantry. She did not want to give her name.
The economy hit her family hard when her husband, whom she is separated from, had his salary cut in half. That, in turn, slashed the child support she receives.
"My kids are happy with a box of pasta," she said, but as a mother she wants to give them more. "Food is definitely an expense, and I'm trying to make sure they get chicken and all the stuff that they should be getting."
"The money they do have they're using on taxes or their mortgage, and (residents) scrimp on food," said Sister Barbara Howard of St. Philomena's, which has partnered with Bickel.
And it's not easy to rely on food pantries in a well-to-do town like Livingston.
"We live in a town where people have two, three homes or vacation in Mexico every break or get a car on their 17th birthday," the single mom said.

Q: For Angular js ui grid remove right and bottom scrolling boarders In Angular js ui rid, how can I remove  vertical and horizontal scrollbars ?
And also for each column heading I am getting a little carrot icon by default, which shows sort ascend, sort descent, Hide column. I want to remove this also from my column headings.
Instead .table-striped which comes by default for ui grid, I want to use .table-bordered. Is there any place to set these parameters to ui grid?

A:     enableHorizontalScrollbar : 0,
    enableVerticalScrollbar : 0,
    enableSorting : false,
    enableColumnMenus : false;

A: Good answer from @Asqan answering the first part of your question. For the second part:
Instead .table-striped which comes by default for ui grid, I want to use .table-bordered. Is there any place to set these parameters to ui grid?
I'm thinking you mean you want the look in this plunker I created.
You can solve these css issues in one of two general ways.
1) Customize the ui-grid css
2) Leave the original ui-grid css then override it in your own css file
I've shows the first option to solve your "stripped" issue and the second option to implement your desired border. I have done both for example only so you can see both options - I recommend choosing and using consistently one method or the other.
The ui-grid sets the ".table-striped" look to which you are referring in the css. You can override this either in you own css file or using the customizer tool and setting the @rowcoloreven and @rowcolorodd fields to the hex code for white #ffffff. This will update the ui-grid css to contain the below:
.ui-grid-row:nth-child(odd) .ui-grid-cell {
  background-color: #ffffff;
}
.ui-grid-row:nth-child(even) .ui-grid-cell {
  background-color: #ffffff;
}

For ".table-bordered" see specifically in the style.css file these added lines
.ui-grid-cell {
    border-style: solid;
    border-bottom: 1px #ff0000;
}

Bernaert van Orley
Brussels, ca. 1488-1541
A painter and tapestry designer, Bernaert was the son of Valentin van Orley, with whom he probably trained. The first documentary reference to the artist relates to his marriage to Agnes Seghers in 1512. Three years later he was already established as an independent master in Brussels and that year received his first important commission: an altarpiece for the chapel of the Confraternity of the Holy Cross in the church of Saint Walburga in Veurne. Van Orley's work for the church came to the attention of Margaret of Austria, governor of the Low Countries, who from that date onwards commissioned him to produce numerous portraits of members of the royal family. A document of 1516 records seven portraits of Charles I by the artist. The city of Brussels, considered at that date the principal centre for the manufacture of tapestries, began to be gradually eclipsed by Antwerp, which was emerging as the leading centre for painting. Van Orley took advantage of this situation and became one of the principal tapestry designers in Antwerp, registering as a master in the painters' guild of that city in 1517. One year later he was appointed official court painter to Margaret of Austria, retaining this position under her successor Mary of Hungary.
Together with Gossaert, Van Orley is considered one of the leading figures within the Italianate trend in Flemish painting of the early 16th century. His work was notably influenced by Raphael, whose style he may have absorbed through prints by Marcantonio Raimondi, and by Raphael's own tapestry cartoons, given that no trip by Van Orley to Italy is recorded. He may also have derived inspiration from the figure of Dürer, whom he met in Brussels in 1520. In the last years of his career from 1525 onwards Van Orley focused most of his activities on designing tapestries and stained glass.

Inside Jerome Dreyfuss's New Soho Boutique
By Lauren Murrow
Jerome Dreyfuss launches his Soho boutique later this week, and we swung by on Friday for a tour from the unassuming handbag designer. "I'm not an 'It' bag guy," he said with a shrug. "It makes me happy to make women happy." This is his first U.S. store, nestled next to the much-anticipated upcoming shop of his wife, Isabel Marant. (Marant's store is slated to open mid-April.) After hunting around the West Village (Bleecker was deemed "too trendy"), the couple settled on these side-by-side storefronts in the heart of Soho. "Being French, Soho is the biggest fantasy for Parisians," Dreyfuss said.
He conceived the interior himself, with an eye for artful details — "Fashion on its own is boring," he declared. Though he opted to keep the building's original tiled floor and walls, his handbags are displayed in a newly built, central cabana-like structure, loosely inspired by the Kaufmann houses of Palm Springs. The store will carry only one of his collections at a time — at the moment, it's filled with around a dozen lambskin and python styles in splashy corals and blues from his spring 2010 collection — which will rotate every five months. (Prices hover in the $600 to $1,000 range.) The store's cubic sofa was designed by Ron Arad for the MoMA, and Paris-themed videos will be projected on the walls alongside back-lit pictures. Though none of the styles are exclusive to the New York store yet, it seems that the city's demand has already worn Dreyfuss down. "When I get back to Paris, I'll see what I can do," he said. Click ahead for a preview of the store.

What is HTML? An Introduction
Without HTML the web as we know it wouldn't exist. HTML creates structure on the web from page layouts and paragraphs to links, tags and attributes. Every time we go online, whether we know it or not, HTML is most likely present. Here we will explain some of the fundamental concepts of HTML.
What is HTML?
HTML is a standardised system for tagging text files that creates the structure for just about every page that we find and use on the web. It's HTML that adds in page breaks, paragraphs, bold lettering, italics, and more. HTML works to build this structure by using tags that tell browsers what to do with text.
For example, to make a word appear bold, we put that word between the following tags bold. The first tag indicates the start of the word(s) that we want to bold, and the closing tag(/) indicates where we want the bold to stop. It's the basis for pretty much every page on the web. If you are learning to code, this is the place to start.
What does HTML stand for?
HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. A hypertext is a sort of meta text that is used to reference other pieces of text. The Markup Language element of HTML means that it provides a series of markings that instruct a web browser on what it should do with those pieces of text.
What is HTML used for?
HTML is the skeleton of just about any website. It provides the bones that underpin everything else on site. Common things that HTML is used to define are:
The HTML paragraph element is one of the most common elements and as you might have guessed it defines a paragraph.
Line Breaks
As with print media, a paragraph creates a line break below it to visually separate it from other paragraphs. This is used to emphasise a semantic separation of content. The same structure is used in a novel or a magazine.
Block Elements
Elements that create the spacing below themselves on a page are called block elements. Block elements appear vertically down the left-hand side of a page at least until they are styled by CSS. Examples of block elements are
,
,
, and many more. This feature allows HTML to start separating a webpage into different sections
Paragraphs and headings work in concert to create the majority of the text content of a web page and its structure. HTML has six heading elements, which are numbered 1 through 6. h1 is the most significant and usually contains the title of the content – Not to be confused with the title that appears in the browser tab. h2 represents a subsection. h3 and so on represent identifiers of further subjects in subsections until we get to h6.
To give a clearer understanding of how HTML works to create the final version of a webpage, if HTML is our skeleton, CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) would be what gives us our features, like the colour of our eyes, skin and hair. JavaScript would be to do with our movements and how we interact with people – like when we reciprocate a handshake, wink, laugh or ask a question.
How HTML works – HTML tags
HTML works by using a series of tags to inform a browser what it should be doing with text on page and where it should be loading further resources from. There are over 100 HTML tags currently available to use, although most sites will only need a handful of these to work as they should.
There are three HTML tags that are necessary for each page. These are , , and . To indicate to a webpage that you are using HTML, each page will open with  and close with . The  tag contains metadata not visible on-page but important for functionality, and the  tag denotes where the body content of a page resides. Each of these necessary elements can only be used once per page. The basic structure of common HTML tags is detailed below:
<title>Title that appears on browser tab</title>

Here is a sentence with some words using bold.

Below is what that would look like on the front end.
Here is a sentence with some words using bold.
Common HTML Elements
Other non-essential HTML elements can be used multiple times on a webpage to define its structure and emphasise certain sections of text. Common HTML elements are listed below:
 to add italics/emphasis
 meta text not visible on the webpage
 defines the header of a page or section in a web page
 body of page

 to insert a line break
<audio> embedding sound content
<video> embedding video content
<button> for using clickable buttons

 to define/divide a section
 for inserting images

 to represent a list

 to define an ordered list

 to define an unordered list
 to underline text
Another common feature of HTML is embedding CSS, Javascript or PHP files within it. These files build dynamic web pages that add flare and interactivity to the base HTML skeleton. There are many other HTML features that you can explore in our free 5 Day Coding Challenge.
HTML5 is the most recent version of HTML. With each version comes new abilities, etc. However, it is ever-advancing and evolving. HTML5 offers more functionality than previous iterations of the language. For example;
It can support audio and video using the relevant tags, <audio> & <video>.
It is supported by all browsers including Chrome, Safari, Mozilla, and more.
It is easier to use than older versions.
It works better on mobile devices.
How do I view a page's HTML?
It's easy to view a page's HTML, even if it's not your page. For sample purposes, I'll use Google Chrome's procedure here. It's as simple with other browsers too. To view a page's HTML, right-click on the page and click on "view page source". You can also use the keyboard shortcut CTRL + U on Windows, or Option + Command + U on iOS.
Why is it Useful to Know HTML?
HTML is really a developer's bread and butter. If you have any interaction with code, website or app builds in your job or day-to-day life you need to know this language. To see how vital HTML and technology is, take your smartphone out of your pocket. How many apps do you have? How often do you use the browsers? Do you use it for shopping or to make purchases? Does it control things, like the temperature of your home? Do you use it to book hotels, flights, haircuts, or anything else? Do you use it to order food or to listen to or watch something online? All of this relies on HTML.
Right now, there are hundreds of thousands of job roles throughout Europe that require HTML skills. In fact, the world is going through a severe skills gap, and as a result, salaries are always growing for software developers. Employers recognise these gaps, and according to numerous sources, they are losing vast amounts of potential revenues as a result. So, whether you are already working in tech or are looking for a career change, learning HTML can be extremely useful to you.
Where can I learn HTML?
There are numerous ways to learn HTML. Code Institute teaches it as part of its Full Stack Software Development diploma. We also teach the basics of HTML for free through our 5 Day Coding Challenge. After just one hour a day over five days, you will have built your first ever web page.

Boutique of Molly are a brand that have been mentioned on here a handful of times, they have supported me through all the years of blogging and every time I work with them - my stomach turns. I feel so grateful! This time I am featuring not one, but two of their gorgeous pieces! Both are the perfect addition to my summer wardrobe and no more mirror pictures, I have sorted a solution!
Verity Shirt Dress is one of the prettiest dresses I have in my wardrobe for the summer at the moment, when its cold but still warm - this is perfect. The silk material is soft on the skin and comfortable to wear and the print is perfect for the evening and daytime. I have it on top of a pair of leggings because of my height, tights look ridiculous! Paired with this stunning Willow Bomber Jacket is my go to outfit, think people are sick of seeing it to be honest. The bomber jacket is cropped, making it sit just below the chest. Its a pretty pink colour and I have worn it with this, a plain white tee and jeans too. Both ways, look gorgeous!
I can't stop styling and wearing this dress! Shirt dresses are a very new style in the market but they seem to be my new obsession. They look causal, smart and feminine at the same time! Are you a fan?

Coronavirus: New research shows infected people most contagious in first 5 days

Angela Merkel given Moderna as second COVID-19 jab after having AstraZeneca as first injection
People infected with coronavirus are most likely to pass on the virus in the first five days after showing symptoms, new peer-reviewed research suggests.
The authors of the extensive new study published by medical journal The Lancet Microbe late on Thursday said the findings underlined the need to identify and isolate cases of COVID-19 early.
Understanding when patients are most likely to be infectious has become of critical importance for informing effective public health measures to control the global spread of COVID-19.
"This is the first systematic review and meta-analysis that has comprehensively examined and compared viral load and shedding for these three human coronaviruses. It provides a clear explanation for why SARS-CoV-2 [known as COVID-19] spreads more efficiently than SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV and is so much more difficult to contain," said lead author Dr Muge Cevik of the University of St Andrews in Scotland.
"Our findings are in line with contact tracing studies which suggest the majority of viral transmission events occur very early, and especially within the first five days after symptom onset, indicating the importance of self-isolation immediately after symptoms start," he added.
The review, one of the most comprehensive to date with 98 studies included, analysed three human coronaviruses – SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2, and MERS-CoV – and their viral loads. Of the three, COVID-19 was found to be the most likely to be highly infectious in the first five days of showing symptoms.
While genetic material of COVID-19 was still detected in respiratory and stool samples for several weeks, researchers found that no live virus was found in any samples taken from patients beyond nine days of infection, the review noted.
The current guidance in many countries is to self-isolate for 10 days after symptoms first manifest themselves, which the authors of the research say is in line with their findings.
There were some limitations to the research, the authors noted, including the fact that many of the patients in the study had been hospitalised and had received a range of treatments which were likely to have impacted the rate of infection.
"The majority of studies included in our review were performed in patients who were admitted to hospital. Therefore, our findings may not apply to people with milder infection although these results suggest those with milder cases may clear the virus faster from their body," said senior author Dr Antonia Ho of MRC-University of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research.
"Additionally, the increasing deployment of treatments, such as dexamethasone, remdesivir as well as other antivirals and immunomodulators in clinical trials are likely to influence viral shedding in hospitalised patients. Further studies on viral shedding in this context are needed".
The study did not look closely at asymptomatic people because researchers said available data was "limited", but Cevik warned that they can be just as infectious but for a shorter period.
He said: "Several studies have found that individuals with asymptomatic infection may clear the virus faster, suggesting that those without symptoms may be as infectious as those with symptoms at the beginning of infection, but may be infectious for a shorter period."

As part of the Lean Innovation Forum taking place in Madrid from 24 to 26 October 2017, we will host the Leading people and cross functional teams in a lean innovation environment workshop at Toyota Auditorium in the morning of October 24.
Many lean change agents cite "the people" as the biggest challenge in the transformation. This was certainly an experience that Goodyear's lean champion, Norbert Majerus, also had. He learned that people must be fully engaged in the transformation to produce sustainable results.
A lot has been published about how Toyota manages people – and all of that is very good. But many companies have experienced challenges in copying the Toyota model because they have a different culture and organization.
It is obvious to Goodyear now that they have a different organization and culture and that people must be managed differently. To get there, it helps to understand the principles, specific needs and challenges.
Through the workshop, participants will learn about the experience Goodyear's innovation centers had during and after the lean transformation.
The workshop is based on the training Goodyear provides to its associates, and includes many industrial examples as well as hands-on exercises through which the participants will understand how to lead the transformation from the people perspective.
Rubber Company. For nearly a decade he has been Goodyear's lean champion in research and development.
Norbert, born and raised in Luxembourg, has a Master's degree in Chemistry from the Universitaet des Saarlandes, Saarbruecken, Germany, and has worked most of the disciplines in the Goodyear innovation centers in Luxembourg and Akron.
Norbert recently published his first book "Lean-driven Innovation," and he has spoken at many conferences in the USA and other countries.
Places for the workshop are limited.

any Organ music buffs here?
Discussion in 'Classical Music' started by Rory, Dec 15, 2005.
Rory satisfied
i'd like to dabble my feet in some nice Organ music. This may seem a trifle shallow or something but i'd really like some stuff to test out the low end extension on some kit. I'm aware that the organ at Sydney Opera House has some really long pipes on it, so maybe something played there. I'm sure you know what I mean, so maybe some ideas of some discs that I can go and peruse at amazon please?

Here, sir. Titian and Pe-Zulu are also big on organ. Sadly, our resident expert RdS (he plays) is not often seen in these parts these days, but seek out his threads. Here's a reference to his thread on Bach organ music, which is the cornerstone of any organ collection:
https://www.audio-forums.com/as-rediect/showthread.php?t=20
I have the Bach organ works three times, a set that came with the complete works of Bach on Hänssler (player forgotten), the old Walcha DG set and the most recent Erato set of Marie-Claire Alain. I listen to different ones at different times, without having a particular favourite; it's just marvellous music.

Isn't GrahamN an organ buff also. He seems to sadly have fallen off the radar also
lordsummit, Dec 16, 2005
Sir Galahad Harmonia Mundi
Although I have no claim to expertise, I'm an old fan. I too have the Hänssler Bach organ works plus the complete works by André Issoir, the Orgelburchlein by Jean-Claude Albitzer and the Schemelli Song Book with Hans-Joachim Erhard and Hilling, plus a few bits and pieces by Buxtehude and a couple others. I find this music both profound and relaxing.
I find it is also the surest way to have the living room all to myself.
Sir Galahad, Dec 16, 2005
lordsummit said:
Don't think so, Richard, he was always our big romantic orchestral man (Wagner, Mahler and so on). Also big on Scandinavian music. He can still be found writing on some sites to do with the Proms (remember that he spends a substantial chunk of his life (more than anyone else I've ever met) in concert halls). I suspect that that's why we hear so little from him - his object was, like Titian, to reproduce as accurately as possible in his home what he heard in the concert hall, period. Having achieved that, "upgrading" has no more meaning.
meh well i've just ordered Cantate Domino on Prirous (sp?) recordings, SACD from amazon. It'll be here in a month so we'll see
Shame, it cheered me up reading his reviews of concerts and CD's.
I've never been big on the organ myself, I could never get to grips with playing the pedals either. Much preferred playing the piano
yes i've had a bash at playing the organ too- my size 13 feet were a bit cumbersome when tackling the pedals too I can play a mean piano tune
alanbeeb Grumpy young fogey
There's a lot of interesting Organ music out there, not just Bach and others of the North German Baroque period. This is a great disc:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos...8-2/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i2_xgl/202-7050132-7860637
Also, the Organ symphonies of Widor are worth hearing, especially the famous Toccata which is probably heard at a lot of weddings when the happy couple leave together.... but is really superb when well played.

MO! MOnkey`ead!
There was a performance of Bachs Passacaglia (I think ) on BBC2 a week or so ago.
I've various odds and ends including a 60cd clasical boxset, but haven't really heard anything which grabbed my attention like that.
Perhaps not quite as good as DJ Shadows "Organ Donor" though
Also, when trying to jolt my meMOry of what it was that I'd heard on BBC2, (I'm 99% sure that it was Passacaglia), I came across this link http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/programmes/misc/organ.shtml
Worlds biggest organ! Huuuuuuuuuuuuuge!
MO!, Dec 19, 2005
MO! said:
If it was indeed the Passacaglia in C (with its relentlessly repeating 16-note pattern, mostly on the pedals but drifting up on to the manuals now and then), this is my favourite piece of Bach organ music and your reaction is the same as mine. A good version gives me goosebumps on my goosebumps.
alanbeeb said:
The Spanish composers produced some interesting music (some Spanish organs featured horizontally-protruding trumpets, which give them a unique sound). In addition, there was some good French stuff, written prior to the advent of the big Cavaillé-Coll organs for which Widor composed his organ symphonies. It may lack the profundity of the Bach stuff, but it's still an enjoyable listen. For example (and topically), the Noëls by Daquin are good.
P.S. Came across this by accident:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005RFTD/ref=pd_cpt_gw_2/202-3972753-1062201
I think the organ works of Cesar Frank got forgotten in this thread.
I like very much also Max Reger's music for organ but it would be better to start with Bach, Buxtehude, Widor, Frank....

Yes, I did, Titian, and I agree that it's not as lacking in that essential tension as I had previously thought. Must drag out my old Walcha one and compare.

Rory said:
I don't know if I can be of help: you mention the Sydney organ and that points to the big 'symphonic' repertoire about which I know next to nothing. Even so, if you'd care to be a little more explicit on what you really want, I'm quite willing to help within the limits of my knowledge.
P.S.: I wouldn't seek any 64' pedal tone in records. First of all, it is quite impossible for one to hear it; second, no sane system will deliver that kind of noise (even with a subwoofer you'd have to tune it really low (about 20 Hz) and boost the power to maximum levels. In which case you would not be able to withstand the sound - windows vibrating, a very upsetting feeling in the guts and, curiously enough, a sense of anguish.
As a matter of fact, very low sound is almost inaudible and the pitch is impossible to establish - I mean, we cannot understand what pitch it is: it just seems low. Some organ builders used to provide only one very deep not for all the three or four lower pedal notes: we perceive them as 'low', and the upper pipework gives us the tone definition.

Fruit for this wine is sourced from the 12 hectare St. George Vineyard which was replanted in 1969 with specially selected Cabernet Sauvignon cuttings taken from the oldest and best clones of Cabernet in the Coonawarra district.The wine was matured in new French oak hogsheads and barriques for 25 months. Dense, youthful mulberry red colour. The nose is attractive with ripe Coonawarra cassis fruit and integrated, cedary, vanillin oak aromas. This is a very restrained wine - it is very tight with a fine tannin structure and concentrated blackcurrant flavours. Excellent length and persistence. 13.5% Alcohol Volume.

36,000 support MPAs for whales and dolphins
WDC has handed over a huge 36,736 signatures from members of the public to Richard Lochhead, Scotland's Cabinet Secretary for Rural Affairs and Environment, asking the Scottish Government to include whales and dolphins in Scotland's new marine protected area network.
The handover of the signatures at the Scottish parliament by WDC's head of policy in Scotland, Sarah Dolman, leading international minke whale expert, Dr Mike Tetley, and Ruaraigh the inflatable Risso's dolphin was made just a day before Mr Lochhead made a public announcement regarding the Government's plans for its marine protected area (MPA) network.
In February, WDC launched its campaign to ensure whales and dolphins are included in the list of species to be protected when the Scottish Government makes its decision on which areas of Scottish seas will be protected. In just a few months, WDC has received nearly 37,000 responses from concerned members of the public (including over 100 Scottish and international marine scientists) demonstrating the extreme level of feeling on the matter.
"We have been overwhelmed by the level of support received from the Scottish and international public on this matter and the sheer numbers speak for themselves. We are very pleased that Mr Lochhead agreed to meet with us to receive the signatures and so acknowledge the passionate public feeling on this matter", said Sarah Dolman.
"Scotland's seas are truly outstanding, and the Scottish MPA network is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to protect and showcase our amazing whales and dolphins along with other nationally important species and habitats.
"We know that the Scottish Government has the scientific data needed to include whales and dolphins in the MPA network – we helped supply it! They now have to choose whether to provide whales and dolphins with protected areas or to continue to neglect some of Scotland's most iconic and precious marine species."
The Scottish Government's report to the Scottish Parliament contains no commitments to set up MPAs for the priority Scottish species identified, including minke whales, Risso's dolphins, white beaked dolphins and basking sharks.
MPA proposals signal move towards recovery
Plans announced today (14th December 2012) for 33 nature conservation Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) have been welcomed by a coalition of Scotland's environmental groups as an important step towards the much-needed recovery of Scotland's seas.
Scottish Environment LINK's marine taskforce contends that a network of Marine Protected Areas cannot afford to simply protect what's left in Scotland's seas, otherwise the marine environment will continue to decline. The eight organisations who collectively represent 460,000 memberships, believe that a network of MPAs must actively help recover the seabed and the marine life it supports, implementing the ambition of national legislation passed by the Scottish Parliament over two years ago. … [Continue Reading]
Whales need help in busy seas

This tail belongs to a Humpback whale. Not a lot of people know it, but these majestic mammals visit Scottish waters every year, as well as over 25 other species of whale and dolphin – from minke whales to harbour porpoises.
And just as the whales and dolphins visit our seas, so do people – who visit our shores and charter boats to watch them.
This wildlife tourism generates substantial value to local economies. Dolphin watching in the Moray Firth, for example, was recently found to be worth more than £4 million each year and generating more than 200 equivalent full-time jobs.
Unfortunately, it's not a completely pretty picture. Not only are some species of whales and dolphins still recovering from decades of international overfishing, but they continue to struggle in a pressured marine environment too. Strandings resulting from the noise pollution of seismic surveys and unintentional entanglements in fishing nets are just some of the difficulties that whale and dolphin populations face.
Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) represent a vital method for managing our busy seas and helping to protect our marine wildlife. For those areas that are of vital importance to whale and dolphin populations, MPAs could help to mitigate the impacts of damaging activities. (Read WDC's 'All about MPAs for more information). Yet current plans for MPAs by the Scottish Government have not included whales and dolphins (or cetaceans as they are known scientifically) in the MPA network – due to be consulted on in summer 2013.
Whale & Dolphin Conservation, a member of the Save Scottish Seas campaign, is 'up in arms' about this. Check out their video and sign the petition. (This petition has since closed: check out how many people signed it….)
