commentary: Mightier Than the Sword (Part Ten)
Given 01-Aug-15; Sermon #1279c; 12 minutes
John Ritenbaugh, focusing on three English humanistic philosophers closely related in ideas and outlook, namely Jeremy Bentham, (the father of Utilitarianism) John Stuart Mill (reared from his youth by his father on the principles of Utilitarianism) and Bertrand Russell, revealed that these families thought alike, developing a kind of mutual admiration society. Bertrand Russell's parents actually chose John Stuart Mill as his godfather. Jeremy Bentham was boldly anti-God, demanding that God would come to him and explain Himself, or he would banish God into non-existence. Bentham was described as capricious, narcissistic, ordering his head to be mummified and displayed publically after his death. Bentham served as the driving push to homosexuality, pedophilia, and other assorted forms of perversion. John Stewart Mill, in his philosophy of Utilitarianism, recommended that self-defined pleasure constitutes the only standard of morality needed, regardless of whether the pleasure originated from masochism, sadomasochism, or something else—if it feels good, do it. What makes people feel good varies widely. Bentham's and Mill's philosophies actually encourage carnal, human nature on steroids. These philosophers denigrate the idea of absolutes, making all standards relative to individual whim and caprice

One of the more interesting facts of the lives of the philosophers I've given to up to this time is that each of those named began life and early preparation for adulthood being reared in fairly strong Christian circumstances. A major problem was that those circumstances were not influential in regard to true Christian circumstances. Every one of them grew up strongly influenced by a false religion posing as the true church. The Bible is correct saying Satan has deceived the whole world.
This is the very sort of circumstance in which the United States began its history as a nation. There is no doubt it was founded by men of generally high moral and ethical character, especially as compared with leaders of our time. But those men were not truly Christian either. They gave this nation a better foundation compared to most other nations of this world. They gave us a great deal that was indeed drawn from or paralleled God's truths, but these men did not have God's Holy Spirit. They did have some good influences to guide them.
Much of our Constitution was drawn from English Common Law and even the Magna Carta, though it was 600 years old, offered some help. In addition, a number of Founders were familiar with the commentaries of William Blackstone on English Common law. Blackstone was very conservative, pro-Christianity, and no friend of the humanistic philosophers.
I am going to mention three English born humanistic philosophers in this commentary. I am sure most of you have heard of at least one of them. They were unique in that they were closely related. It was not a family blood relationship but a relationship they chose to be involved in on their own. The family relationship lasted a long time. As far as I know, it did not end until the 1970s.
The first of these three philosophers was Jeremy Bentham. His life overlapped the death of Jean- Jacques Rousseau by 47 years. He was followed by John Stuart Mill. The one you may have some familiarity with is the third of this triumvirate:Bertrand Russell, who died in 1970.
Jeremy Bentham's family and John Stuart Mills' family were already very close to each other, but when John Stuart Mill was born, the Mill family chose Jeremy to be their newborn's (John's) godfather. Later, when Bertrand Russell was born they chose John Stuart Mill to be Bertrand's godfather. John Stuart Mill didn't have a great deal of personal influence on young Bertrand because he about a year after Bertrand was born. The three families thought pretty much alike.
It seems as though so many of these philosophers, like Rousseau, had a screw loose in their thinking. Bentham, though undoubtedly the least known of the three, has gained a great deal of reflected glory in the philosophic realm from his two more famous students, Mill and Russell.
Bentham was very strongly anti-god, writing that the God of the Bible is capricious and insane. His arrogance was so great he would demand of God in his writings that God come to him and explain Himself. He threatened God that if He didn't show up, He loses His right to exist!
An interesting aside to this is that the spiritual atmosphere in England was a great deal more challenging to him than France's was to Rousseau. Rousseau was able to get away with saying things more freely than Bentham. In order to protect himself, many of Bentham's writings were done under pen names so as to hide himself from the scrutiny of Englishmen who might do him physical harm.
It was Bentham, though, who was the driving force behind the push for open homosexuality. This fit in with what was his crowning achievement was. I said earlier that his students received more glory than he. His most famous disciple was John Stuart Mill.
Mill received far more glory than Bentham did. But in the overall picture, Bentham was the key to what they build. This is because Mill's father so admired Bentham that he raised John according to Bentham's system. Bentham called that system "utilitarianism."
Here is a brief description in Bentham's own words: "By the principle of utility is meant that principle which approves or disproves of every action whatsoever, according to the tendency it appears to have to segment or diminish the happiness of the party whose interest is in question."
In everyday English, this is what he said. Utilitarianism recommends that action which produces the most pleasure or happiness for the most people in the long run. Let me simplify it even further as to what it means in actual practice: If it feels good do it. That is what it means.
His theory is literally so full of flaws that most sane philosophers of the time openly rejected it. The most obvious flaw is that in his system, no standards exist! What feels good varies widely from person to person, and what is appropriate for one person is not for another. The position he argued from—this is really rich—was that this is the way most people act anyway. In other words, it is natural. That is what carnality is. It is the natural mind. This man was teaching people how to be more carnal than they already were. He is a philosopher.
When men reject God as the source of creation, ethics, and morals, there is no absolute by which to judge either good or evil. That is so obvious! Feeling and personal experiences just won't cut it. What if a person receives pleasure from inflicting pain on others? And there are people like that!
However, the barn door was open because John Stuart Mill was raised by his parents according to this weird system and he unleashed in his own conduct and what he taught others. John Stuart Mill was another man who was also exceedingly intelligent, and like Bentham, unbalanced—perhaps more so than Bentham was.
In 1785, Bentham authored a work he titled, Offenses Against One's Self. However, it was not published until 1931 because it was so vilely offensive. Despite the strength of the Bible's teaching against homosexuality and pedophilia, Bentham advocated both in this work.
The spirit of Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill has swept across this nation, and I'm sure many others as well. In keeping with utilitarian ethical theory, he refused to recognize any moral difference between heterosexual activity and homosexual activity. Both were equal practices in his sight.
Toward the end of his life, he ordered his body dissected in a public lecture and his head was to be mummified and set in a wooden cabinet, displayed for all to see. What an example of pride. This is a man held by the people as being great—a wonderful philosopher.

Daniel Handler's Salute to UC Press Poets
Every April, Daniel Handler, also known as Lemony Snicket, reads only poetry in honor of National Poetry Month. This year, he gave a shoutout to two of our poets on both Twitter and in this great article on the Huffington Post. Handler is author of The Basic Eight and the A Series of Unfortunate Events books (also adapted to a 2004 film starring Jim Carrey, and soon to be adapted to a Netflix series).
Harryette Mullen's Sleeping with the Dictionary (2002).
"Poet: Harryette Mullen
How they strike me: When someone holds your hand and looks you in the eye and won't let go until you stop trembling.
Book I like of theirs: Sleeping With The Dictionary. No, wait: Urban Tumbleweed. OK, get them both.
Representative lines:
Beside the bed, a pad lies open to record the meandering of migratory words. In the rapid eye movement of the poet's night vision, this dictum can be decoded, like the secret acrostic of a lover's name.
Suggested beverage pairing: What's in this tea? Has the sky been this color all this time?"
Mei-mei Berssenbrugge's I Love Artists: New and Selected Poems (2006).
"Poet: Mei-Mei Berssenbrugge
How they strike me: Like a conversation so terrific you stay up too late to finish it and the next day are cranky but it's worth it.
Book I like of theirs: I Love Artists
I seek a permanent home, but this structure has an appearance of indifferent compoundedness and isolation, heading toward hopelessness.
The boys pulls an animal on a leash.
Suggested beverage pairing: Wheatgrass juice, side of aquavit."

Manchester City's Spanish manager Pep Guardiola says it would be impossible for him to ever manage another team in England and says he is now a Mancunian for life.
City had made a disastrous start to the Champions League with a shock defeat at home to Lyon but have now moved top after following up their win over Hoffenheim with a victory in Ukraine. It is better to say after 10 years I remember this final and how well we played, to remember the way we have done it.
Twenty-two people were killed when a suicide bomber attacked a concert for American singer Ariana Grande on May 22, 2017.
He said: "When the attack happened, I was at home with my son, and my wife and daughters were there".
"She called me, but immediately broke the line". Every time we go out we always sing this song all together.
"I will be a Manchester City fan and it will not be possible to train another team like Manchester City in England because I feel love from the people here".
"I think it's good for the young players like John Stones that they learn to play in different positions".
"If you don't try to be creative and don't ask why do we have to do that, why not another way, then humanity doesn't exist anymore".
Guardiola said he had a special relationship with Manchester after members of his family were caught up in the Manchester Arena terror attack a year ago, in which 22 people were killed.
Brazilian midfielder Fernandinho, meanwhile, who City signed from Shakhtar five years ago, said: 'We came here and to see so many familiar faces and friends; I'm so glad to come back here.
A master tactician on the field, Guardiola is also known for his love of music off it, with his interview with Balague revolving around the six songs that defined his life, love, football and family.
Kevin De Bruyne is concerned over the potential state of the Wembley pitch when Manchester City take on Tottenham on Monday.
"I will be Mancunian for the rest of my life", he said. "So, here you are more comfortable".
The 47-year-old said: "I met him more as a person, it was fantastic".
"All managers, we make a lot of decisions because of feelings".
"That moment on Youtube where everyone is in silence and one woman starts to sing and everyone starts to sing".

Donald Baker
August 16, 2021 by Rodger Martin
Who Is Donald Baker?
Donald Baker credit: Wabash College
by: Rodger Martin (Excerpted from The Worcester Review XX)
As the twentieth century closes, the greater Worcester area has produced four poets who have received national renown during this period: Stanley Kunitz, Elizabeth Bishop, Charles Olson, and Frank O'Hara.
Often overlooked in this august company is another Worcester generated poet formed in the crucible of World War II, Donald Baker. Since that war, Baker has published six volumes of poetry, been a Pulitzer Prize nominee, won a Pushcart Prize, a National Endowment for the Arts Writing Fellowship, become the Milligan Professor of English and Poet in Residence at Wabash College in Indiana (where he also was awarded the McLain-McTurnan Award for Distinguished Teaching), and directed The New Writers Award program of the Great Lakes Colleges Association. His poems have appeared in The Atlantic Monthly, The Nation, Poetry, The Southern Poetry Review, Indiana Review, Saturday Review, The Beloit Poetry Journal, Prairie Schooner, Bitterroot, Tar River Poetry, New Letters, and many others. Perhaps because much of his recognition comes from the Midwest, Worcester has been late to note his presence. Editors at The Worcester Review noticed the quality of his work in 1992 when we published his first poem in the journal. Since then, he has been a regular contributor to the journal. In 1993 Stephen Tapscott chose his work as the winner of the Worcester County Poetry Association's annual contest. When he read at the Public Library for the WCPA annual meeting (also in 1993), those of us there recognized we had found another powerful Worcester voice.
In the pages that follow, three critics examine Baker's poetry and its impact: Bert Stern, "'Barnacled Hope': Homage to Donald Baker," writes an essay about the lyric poet and the individual stand against the storms of life; Roger Mitchell's " 'People Have Turned This Corner and Disappeared,': Some Thoughts on the Poetry of Donald W. Baker" muses about that fine line between "consequence and inconsequence" a poet must navigate to rise above these crises; and finally William Trowbridge deals directly with the impact of World War II in "Delinquent Laurels: In Praise of Donald Baker's War Poems."
How did Worcester come to be as Baker says, "The nearest I come to a 'home town'"?[1] The Great Depression hit his family as hard as any. They moved to 630 Pleasant Street from Springfield in 1930 when Baker was seven, and by the time Baker completed his studies at Classical High School, his family had also lived on Lovell Street (270), Reed Street (14), June Street (190) and Courtland Street. The stability of the public school system provided for Baker that sense of place one could call home. In biographical statements for three of his books the first sentence of each pays homage to that schooling not only directly but also by equating it with Ivy League and flight training saying he was "educated by the Worcester public schools, Brown University and the Army Air Corps."[2] In his letters for this essay, Baker refers often to his schooling, particularly at Classical High School where he played first the violin poorly and then switched to the viola. There he refers to himself as "the least effective member" member of the debate team, but found the love of poetry trying to "memorize more Wordsworth than any other member of Perry Howe's English class."[3]
There he also discovered Edward Arlington Robinson and Robinson's impact on his poetics remains to this day:
"… those wonderful lines from Robinson, 'What to him are Plato and the swing of Pleiades.' Those have stuck in my poetic heart, the rhythm, of course, and the alliteration, but chiefly I think that totally fresh and surprising (and perfectly apt) word 'swing.' The more I think about it the more I come to believe that the most important achievement of the great poets is their discovery of the unexpected but absolutely right word– its connotations, its sound, its rhythm, and its relation to the other words of the line. It's only a slight exaggeration to say that in almost every line of Emily Dickinson you'll find that surprising and revelatory word. The frost 'beheads' the flower; the 'blonde' assassin, and so on."[4]
Baker believes his poems about poetry may be the best statements of his poetics; therefore, we conclude with "Essential Questions" in its entirety and two excerpts from poems Baker suggests speak his sense of poetics far better than he:[5]
"Essential Question"
My job is to get up in the morning
and start writing poems.
It's at least as useful
as getting up in the morning
and starting to sell Cap'n Crunch.
I put on my jeans and sneakers,
eat two eggs over and a bran muffin,
and sit down at the living room window
with a cup of tea.
Vic Sammartino drives by
on his way to work.
He waves.
His busy smile expresses superiority and disdain,
because he thinks I am doing nothing.
He reminds me of the chairman of my department,
who prefers publishing scholars.
He'd better be careful.
Look what happened when they called Hitler
a lazy slob.
Meanwhile, I rake my imagination
for something to write about.
Will my kidneys last out the year?
Are these essential questions?
Are they fit subject for poetry?
What is fit subject for poetry?
How can I tell?
Do I care?
So one inspiration leads to another
down labyrinthine ways
of the poet's mind.
Mike Donovon's daughter walks by,
off to the municipal pool,
in what appears to be a bikini.
She doesn't wave.
No doubt her illiterate father
has poisoned her mind against poets.
She reminds me of high school summers,
girls named "Priscilla" and "Leona,"
who float on my mind's eye
like rubber dolls in a bathtub.
Perhaps I should have been Gaius Valerius Catullus,
lounging at poolside,
composing a poem for Patty Donovon,
"voluptuous virgin," phrases like that.
In Latin.
It's no good.
If my wife ever had it translated,
she'd kill me.
Bradford Dunbar goes by, the corporate lawyer,
jogging.
He pretends to look at his watch,
then runs as hard as he can to intimidate me.
He thinks I am a failure
and out of shape.
OK, Dunbar, I know you saw me.
Lickspittle capitalist lackey!
He sprints to catch up with Donovon's daughter,
who blows him a kiss
as he passes.
They don't fool me.
He's not her uncle.
Maybe I should have been Pablo Neruda,
hiding out in the Rockies,
writing a political poem,
"Letters from the extreme left,"
that would sweep the country.
I see Reagan, Haig, and Bradford Dunbar,
in Adidas and jogging shorts,
fleeing to Argentina.
They are arrested by the Cuban police.
Poets wreck all the nuclear energy plants,
and I win the Nobel Prize.
So that's that.
What more can one do in a morning?
I get up from my notes,
go into my study,
and sit down at my typewriter.
It needs a new ribbon.
Well, it always takes a few days
to think through and polish a poem.
It's twenty after eleven.
Let's call it noon.
Let's mix a martini,
and contemplate politics, love,
and the essential questions.
Unposted Letters, 16-19
One of them said, A poet has no
information. It sounded right. . . .

. . . if I could,
I'd trade eggs for milk, walk only

never become, hot afternoon,
flood tide in the river, a book . . .

Apple Loses Engineering Director Automotive Project
By deepika May 19, 2022 0 view
The transfer is the most recent occasion of staff turnover in Apple's secretive automotive problem. Former VP of particular tasks Doug Area left in September to guide Ford's rising know-how efforts, a precedence for the legacy automaker beneath its new Ford+ turnaround plan. Apple could presumably be considering a return of the long-lasting backlit Apple emblem on future MacBook models, if a newly printed patent is something to go by.
Take a have a glance at Apple's Freeform collaboration app, with our first have a look at Apple's new productiveness software to help folks brainstorm with others, utilizing a shared collection of files. Smart residence system producers are beginning to define their plans for including help for Matter, a regular that may permit communication with Homekit and different frameworks. Remember though that Tesla came from nearly nowhere, so it shows it could be carried out from scratch. But I'd wager Tesla spent billions less creating their first automotive than Apple has spent on creating apparently nothing. I do not expect it to ever ship, and I can't imagine that it's ever going to be a huge effect on the automobile market even if it does.
Recentreports present that Apple is looking for a personal road-testing site, they employed tons of of employees with automotive trade experience and the corporate is even allegedly in talks with BMW to license some technology. Officials inside Apple have but to substantiate the bold new product, but CEO Tim Cook acknowledged that the auto industry is ripe for disruptionand it's troublesome to think about them backing out at this level. Apple's electrical vehicle plans have reportedly confronted numerous setbacks since the project was approved in 2014, including several management… The Apple Car remains to be far from being announced, but rumors about it keep circulating on the internet. This time, Bloomberg reports that Apple has lost another three engineers from its automotive project, who just lately left the corporate to hitch startups.
The M2 MacBook Airs first launched in July, and refurbished fashions have not beforehand been available. There are a number of variants out there with different configurations and colors, but the base mannequin MacBook Air with M2 chip, 8-core GPU, 8-core GPU, 8GB… Given that Apple stays tight-lipped about its electric self-driving automotive plans, the idea is … Kevin Lynch, who is well-known at Apple for overseeing work on the Apple Watch, is set to take on a role main the development of the Apple Car, reviews Business Insider. Several sources inside Apple told Business Insider that Apple has been called on to help lead the Apple Car project, which has undergone a quantity of shifts in leadership through the years.
A new report from Bloomberg at present signifies that Apple has employed Luigi Taraborrelli, a 20-year veteran of the Italian automotive firm Lamborghini. This marks a major addition to the Project Titan group as Apple goals to release a automobile later this decade. Conversely, Apple was reportedly fairly upset that Hyundai Kia would admit to these talks, of which the automakers then denied ever occurred.
Apple has yet to finalize the display measurement for its planned 2024 iPhone SE 4, display analyst Ross Young stated in a tweet right now that was shared with Super Followers. Apple is mulling a variety of choices associated to the size of the show and the show materials. The company is said to be contemplating 6.1-inch OLED displays from two suppliers, as well as 5.7 to 6.1-inch LCDs from two… Apple is hoping to launch a self-driving automobile by 2025, but the timeline could in the end prove to be too aggressive. Three months ago, Apple saw key player Doug Field depart the Project Titan staff for Ford.
He labored on Tesla's Roadster, Semi, and the vehicle now generally known as Cybertruck. Apple has gifted the world with a library of gadgets that have since become family names, a lot of which we use daily. There's the iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro, and AirPods; but if you not filter decadesold software suppose Apple, Car just isn't the first word to come back to thoughts. That might soon change as latest news has breathed new life into over ten years of rumors surrounding Apple's try at an electric automotive.
Schwekutsch is now the senior vice chairman of engineering for electrical air taxi startup Archer. From the job description listed on his LinkedIn profile, Schwekutsch is engaged on propulsion, hover flight, and battery techniques. Archer aims to deploy its electrical vertical takeoff and landing plane as airborne taxis, bettering city mobility. Commercial passenger aviation generated 785 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions in 2019, according to the International Council on Clean Transportation. Meanwhile, the International Air Transport Association predicts that air travel passenger numbers will get well to more than 85% of pre-pandemic levels subsequent year, and surpass pre-pandemic ranges by 5% in 2023.

This tutorial assumes you have already created a Pull Zone. If you plan on using custom domains to pull files from the CDN you should setup your CNAME records within the CloudFlare DNS editor, and not on the web-hosting end!
CloudFlare is a free system that acts as a proxy between your visitors and our server. By acting as a proxy, CloudFlare caches content for your site, which lowers the number of requests to our servers, but still allows visitors to access your site.
CDN stands for Content Delivery Network, and it works by acting as a reverse proxy that caches all your static contents, and serves them to your website visitors from servers spread across the globe. This can lower the number of requests sent to your server to zero at any given moment, as long as the cached files are neither expired nor purged from the network. When the static contents are served to your website visitors from servers that are closer to them than your web server, the website loads faster, which provides a better user experience and also reduces the load on your web server.
When these cookies and headers are sent to our CDN Network, it causes a conflict that prevents us from properly caching your static assets. That results in a very low cache hit percentage, along with an increased number of requests being sent to CloudFlare, which will negatively affect the load speed of your website.
We have implemented a new option within the Control Panel, which ignores the cookie's existence on requested files. So after the CDN pulls the file from origin, it will ignore the cookie and cache the file.
CloudFlare automatically utilizes a load balancer, which dynamically changes the IP address of your website. Usually this is not an issue, however since our system depends on matching the IP address of the origin website with the FQDN/domain/URL, it will cause a conflict which will result into our servers unable to fetch and cache your static contents, generating a 502 Bad Gateway error.
In the past we used Pull Zone 2.0, which utilized the Apache Traffic Server to overcome the dynamic IP problem caused by CloudFlare, Amazon AWS, and other load balancing techniques. Apache Traffic Server had its problems, and lacked support for GZip compression. So we re-invented the Pull Zone to add an option for dynamic IP resolution, which is enabled by default when zone is created. If you have already defined the Origin IP, you can uncheck Origin IP Resolution within your zone's settings and then dynamic IP resolution will be enabled for that zone. Also, you can contact us at support@maxcdn.com so we can make sure that dynamic IP resolution is definitely enabled for your zone.

The Holidays: To Party or Not to Party?
November 14, 2018 - The holidays are creeping up on us, and it's time (or maybe past time) to consider the holiday party. Should you have one? What kind? Are there other options to show your gratitude to your employees than by having a drunken bash? If you have one, how can you keep it under control? These articles address these questions and offer some ideas on how to have a great party or what to do instead. Happy Holidays!
Holiday office parties are a time-honored opportunity for companies to show appreciation to their hard-working, loyal employees. However, these festive occasions -- which are often fueled by alcohol -- can also be a breeding ground for poor choices, bad behavior and even legal complications. As drinkers lose their inhibitions, they tend to also lose their manners. Unfortunately, for the occasional outlier that may even mean coming close to losing their job.
Let's start with the simple fact that many employees don't really like company parties (we'll have data on this right below). So an event, if not handled thoughtfully, that should be morale-building can easily become morale-diminishing. Add to this the possibility that such gatherings, fueled by free flowing booze, also offer management a high-profile opportunity to go off the rails.
Some companies may be rethinking their traditional office holiday party this year due to the spotlight on workplace harassment and the nearly daily allegations against individuals in high profile companies, Hollywood, the media and government. Precautionary measures may well be in order. And that's just what companies are doing this year.
One should always be careful at holiday parties, when alcohol typically flows and bad decisions often follow. Whether it is office-sponsored or just a gathering among friends and neighbors, this year presents greater risks than holiday seasons past for your online reputation.
Whether you're working with a whole Party Planning Committee, or it's just little old you, putting together a corporate holiday party is no easy task. Keep reading for ideas on themes, activities, food, and more.
Rather than another holiday party, consider earmarking the holiday party money in more creative ways. For instance, one thing that has caught on recently, instead of the holiday party, is the holiday reward. Rewarding employees this time of year can achieve the same goodwill that a party can and has the added bonus of motivating employees.

One of the main reasons why I ask you to blog is so that you feel all these feelings associated with blogging and therefore understand bloggers and blogging culture a bit better.
While I sympathize with the feelings, I really want to make sure you don't think about each blog post as a masterpiece. It isn't. It shouldn't be. You shouldn't spend more than 30 minutes on a blog post. If it has your attention and you are thinking about it, and is related to class, it is interesting and you should blog about it.
this post is about how to engage with people on Twitter.
this one is about the lack of confidence to post your ideas online: I'm just a student – what should I tweet about?
You'll see that you are not alone. Most students experience this apprehension at the beginning of the semester. It is important that you move past it.
If you don't know what to blog about this week, may I give you an idea? How about you blog about Twitter. Ask questions, or give advice to classmates about anything Twitter related. How you found people to follow, or maybe a short list of people they should follow, a story about how you engaged on Twitter with someone you didn't know, or how you manage to remember to log in and tweet… Or any other tips or questions that come to mind.
Linking. Link from text, like this. Don't just paste URLs in. They're ugly. According to Tim Berners-Lee (don't know who he is? Google and find out!!!) URLs were never meant to be seen.
Widgets. Use widgets to customize your wordpress theme. Show your tags and categories on the side bars.
Settings. Go through them. See what's there. Customize. Turn on liking and rating for posts and for comments.
Don't be lazy. Figure out WordPress. There is a lot of detailed information out there. Use it.
You can also watch these screencasts I created a long time back about some wordpress basics. The dashboard looked a bit different then, but it's the same idea. I made them for my liberal arts undergrads who were scared of technology. You are taking a PhD level class in Technology. You can figure this out. Just try, please.
Nervous about blogging? Of course you are!
I was used to only academic writing, where imaginary mean, anonymous reviewers scrutinize every word and comma and reply with snarky "constructive feedback" that hurts the core of your being and ruin your self-esteem.
But I really wanted to blog.
I wanted a platform for daring, unfinished ideas. A platform for fun, for experimentation, free of the absolute need for academic citations.
Writing the first few blog posts was one of the scariest things I've ever done. You put yourself out there – no citations, no proofreading, and EVERYONE can see!!! They will kill me!
The worst that happened is, I got ignored.
The best – I got interesting comments, new ideas, or notes that some of my posts have really helped people. Yay!
Writing honestly, without the protection of the academic article formula is scary. It is because you dare to be vulnerable. Brenee Brown says that we admire vulnerability in others but we hate it in ourselves. Yes, being vulnerable is scary. But it is brave.
So, listen. I know you're nervous. It's normal. We all are. I need you to be nervous and do it anyway, so you can understand what it's like to be a blogger. So you can appreciate other bloggers' courage. So you can meet friends, block trolls, and help each other. In the end, more good than bad will come out of this – even if the only good thing is that you get to understand blogging culture a bit.
This is as safe as it can be. You have a community of friendly readers. You have a safety net. Be brave, jump in. I won't let you drown. I promise.
Want to know more about the culture of blogging and blogging writing style? Check out this book, you'll read it in a couple of hours.
I was just about to write a post about how to plan and write a successful blog for class, when I realized… it's already in the syllabus!
I'm pasting below the relevant part from the syllabus, in an attempt to direct your attention to it.
Comment on this post within 10 hours (ask a question, or somehow indicate you've read the post) to be entered in a drawing for a small prize.
Each student will write a personal blog (readable by only class members, or open – your choice). The blog will be professional, which means you'll write about work (and a bit of work-related fun), not your personal life, food and movie reviews (unless they're relevant to your work).
notes on readings – YOUR takeaways – What are the 3-5 points that are important to YOU? What did YOU take away from the reading? What did it mean to YOU? How is it relevant to YOU? What questions & critiques do you have?
notes on social media tools – identify, write about, and review social media tools you come across.
Ideas, thoughts, opinions, commentary on anything you see/read/hear that is or can be related to class and/or your work. For example, you may view the videos I posted on the Ning network, and write your thoughts about them. Or you can post your thoughts/opinions about something that was discussed in class, something that happened, etc. You can post videos, photos, etc.
Keep the writing simple, concise, clear, and grammatically correct. Remember, this is (part of) your online resume.

A few examples of mashups involving the game of hockey. Professional sports aren't just events fans attend for entertainment. Instead, they become engrained in the culture surrounding fans.

After the Canucks won game 5 of the conference final against the Sharks, celebrations broke out across the west coast. Around Scott Road, where there's a huge Punjabi population, a Canucks fan broke out into boliyan, a Punjabi folk verse to celebrate.
Boliyan are prominent around celebrations, such as weddings. Here, the fan decided to blend his culture with hockey and came out with this medley.

Hockey Fans and Remix Culture
April 2, 2011 June 7, 2011 / sunilagni / 2 Comments
The following post was for an assignment in New Media Narratives.
Topic: Remix culture is fundamentally at odds with older media institution and practises. Investigate a case study which illuminates these tensions.
Source: Wikimedia Commons
A remix culture, according to Lawrence Lessig, is one where "people participate in the creation and the re-creation of their culture" (Lessig, 2007). It is one where people can use an existing artifact to create something new and unique. Lessig breaks down culture into two categories: read/write culture and read/only culture. This latter culture is one where "creativity [is] consumed but the consumer is not a creator" (Lessig, 2007). A read/write culture is described as being a symbol of individual freedom and personal expression (Lessig, 2005) while a read/only culture "is top-down…where the vocal chords of the millions have been lost" (Lessig, 2007). With the increase in digitization of original work such as art, music and ideas, the remix culture impacts both the creators as well as the consumers.
Source: banksy.co.uk
Examples of remixed work include music sampling, anime fan art and serviceware mashups (Lankshera & Knobel, 2007). People are able to "mashup" (Fitzgerald & O'Brien, 2006) original content with their own alterations and share it as their own. For instance, street artist Banksy uses structures and buildings from around the world as his canvass to express his thoughts and messages ("Banksy – Outdoors", n.d.). This could be considered vandalism but the art work has gained acceptance and has even led to a film entry at the Sundance Film Festival (Horn & Lee, 2010).
With the cost of computers reducing and image editing software becoming easier to use, photoshopping has become a popular remixing tool for political statements and individual expression. The act of splicing images from different sources together to create a new message and content on the web reflects the remix culture Lessig (2007) refers to. Because of the freedom remix culture demands, it is fundamentally at odds with older media institutions and practices. As demonstrated by photoshopping, the read/write culture does not conform to established and traditional methods of copyright laws, intellectual property rights and publication methods.
CASE STUDY: OILERSNATION PHOTOSHOP CONTEST
OilersNation, a fan website, recently hosted a photoshop contest that invited readers to submit their edited images inspired by the Edmonton Oilers. Original narratives and themes from movies, television shows and advertising are used with Oiler-related images to create new content. Fans expressed their feelings and thoughts regarding the Oilers season, team managements decisions as well as optimism and support for the clubs future. Based on the comments visitors left on the site, one entry was selected to win a prize.
Photoshopping requires some knowledge and experience with the image editing software as well as the intended audience. Editors had to seamlessly mesh hockey images with familiar, pop culture, items so that an explanation was not required. Contest entrants were sharing their works with a hockey fan community, a niche audience, that had to understand their message easily.
The desire of fans to create new content using copyrighted material such as player images and movie posters is a result of the remix culture that exists today. But as this case study demonstrates, there is a tension between the remix culture that encourages the expression of fans and the read/only practices of traditional media institutions.
COPYRIGHT ISSUES
Source: OilersNation.com
Since the images used by fans in the photoshop contest are not owned by them, fans are technically using the images illegally. The photos of the players are owned by the team, private owners or broadcast mediums such as television networks or websites. But since they are available on the Internet, a medium that supports a remix culture, fans are able to copy, save, edit and share the images.
Original images from movies and television shows are valuable to its owners since they took time, resources and capital to create. Yet, franchises such as Star Wars or Bob the Builder do not appear to have received any reimbursement for the images that were used. But in order for fans to express themselves, they need access to these copyrighted images.
The read/only culture that original material owners demand is protected by copyright laws. As Lessig (2007) states, "By default, read/write use violates copyright law. Read/write culture is thus presumptively illegal". Lessig urges that government legislation must find a balance that allows for creativity but also compensate artists (Lessig & Schlesinger, 2008). In 2001, Creative Commons (Zittrain, 2009) was established to give creators the ability to copyright their material but also allow for certain uses of their work. Their goal is to allow ones "creative, educational, and scientific content [to be] instantly more compatible with the full potential of the internet" ("About – Creative Commons", n.d.). It remains to be seen if this organization can bridge the ideological differences, regarding copyright issues, between read/write and read/only culture.
MESSAGE CONTROL
When an individual or organization creates content, it is for their own purposes and objectives. For instance, when a movie is set for release to theatres, images from the film are used for movie posters and advertising. Theses images and their intended messages are controlled by the original artists. Investments are made into the original material in the hopes that it will generate revenue for them. Since remix culture allows anyone to use original content to create something new, tension arises between it and the traditional method of content creation and control.
The fans who photoshopped images are using content that was meant for a different purpose. Images of hockey players were not intended to be mashed with a Star Wars poster or to be mocked. Professional sports, being a business, must carefully invest in the creation of original work to generate revenue. Teams are accountable to investors, a board of governors and corporate sponsors. The messages they create must adhere to the goals of their organization, with external stakeholders in mind. When a fan remixes the original content to create a message that does not represent the organization, legal action may be sought for misrepresentation.
Instead of simply consuming the message an organization such as the Edmonton Oilers create, fans are utilizing social media, or web 2.0. applications (O'Reilly, 2005), to create and share their own messages. The barriers to participate and get things done, according to Shirky (2008), have dropped, allowing fans to participate in the creation and control of content. Social media applications such as blogs, Facebook and Twitter provide a voice to fans, making them a source of information; information that traditionally is under the control of the original creators.
AUDIENCE VS COMMUNITY
The OilersNation photoshop contest demonstrates the evolution of the traditional audience into more of an active community. Instead of being a part of the targeted audience, fans have connected with one another to form a community, which is vital in a remix culture. Without a community to work with and to create content for, there is little motivation for fans to express their thoughts and creativity.
According to Mason (1999), it is the uncertainty of games and player performance that professional sports sells to its audience. Fans in turn buy tickets to events and purchase merchandise. Fans have also demonstrated their desire to not only consume, but to actually do something with the product sold to them by professional sports. Examples include fantasy league pools, where fans select players at the start of the season and collect points to compete with other fans. Phone applications such as Pre Play Sports ("Pre-Play Sports", n.d.) allow fans to predict events during a live football game and compete with others. Fans have also demonstrated their creative and collaborative abilities by taking the statistics generated by the league and developing their own methods of tracking team and player performance (Staples, 2008). These fans are conducting, what Bruns (2008) describes as, "produsage", which is the "collaborative and continuous building and extending of existing content in pursuit of further improvement" (p. 15).
The ideologies and characteristics of this participatory culture (Jenkins, 2008) are in stark contrast to those envisioned by creators of original work. The hockey fan community and its remix culture have a different approach to creating content than the read/only audience the Edmonton Oilers may view them as. This leads to tension since the professional sports teams and leagues cannot control how their property is used within this community. It is difficult for them to determine who is using their material and for what purposes. However, In response to the evolution of audiences becoming communities, the Oilers have begun interacting with fans using different social media applications such as Facebook and Twitter. The team can be a part of the fan network, rather than remain as outsiders.
As demonstrated by the OilersNation photoshop contest, a remix culture is fundamentally at odds with traditional media institutions and practices. Copyright issues, message control and the evolution of audiences to active communities demonstrates the ideological differences between remixers and original creators of work. In the future, the way content and its message is controlled over new mediums requires the involvement of the read/write and read/only culture. A balance must be found to protect the work of original creators, but also provide people the freedom and opportunity to become engaged with their culture.

The Cult Turned Red Rocks Into Their Sanctuary
11 months ago Brandon Thrift
British Rockers, The Cult, performed for a sold out crowd at Red Rocks Amphitheatre on 8/19. They treated the crowd to their hits, dating back to 1984.
The concert was part of the Revolution 3 tour which also featured Bush, and Stone Temple Pilots. It's a tri -headlining tour where the bands rotate the lineup at each stop, hence the name "Revolution 3". The lineup for the Red Rocks stop had British female led rockers, Bones, opening followed by: Bush, Stone Temple Pilots, and The Cult.
Bush was the first of the big 3 to hit the stage after the opener. Their songs "Glycerin" and "Machinehead" off their first album, brought back memories for all the 90's kids in attendance. Bush's front man, Gavin Rossdale, has always been the highlight of the band and for good cause. His boyish looks had all the ladies wooing over him as he danced and rolled, yes rolled, around the stage. Towards the end of the set he grabbed his microphone and headed into the crowd. He made it all the way to the top of Red Rocks while weaving through the crowd. At the top he sang to the crowd who had turned their backs on the band, so they could keep an eye on the energetic Rossdale.
Next was Stone Temple Pilots or as most of the world calls them, "STP". Their first album "Core" was released in 1992. Their music was like the grunge bands at the time but their front man, Scott Weiland, was unlike anything the 90's had seen before. His dance moves were both fluid and erratic at the same time and his vocal range made other grunge bands look mediocre. Weiland died of an accidental overdose in 2015. Former two time X-Factor contestant, Jeff Gutt, was added to the band in 2017. If you were unaware of Weiland's death, you may never know that he was replaced. Gutt moved and sang eerily similar to Weiland. They mostly played songs from the 90's but threw in a newer one here and there. The crowd sang along to their famous songs "Interstate Love Song", "Plush", and "Creep".
Last was The Cult and they did not disappoint. When the band came onstage, the first thing I noticed is how young their front man, Ian Astbury, looked. The dude looks great for 56! During the first couple of songs I saw some of the crowd leaving. Personally, I am more familiar with Bush and STP because of how influential they were during my youth, but The Cult is iconic. To those who left, you missed one hell of a show. The British rockers cruised through their songs "She Sells Sanctuary", "Fire Woman", and "Love Removal Machine". By this time of the night the crowd was not holding back with their dancing and singing. It was a full-blown party! The excitement was contagious. The band sounded great and the weather was perfect. They had hard acts to follow but the veteran rockers came through and added onto a night filled with great music and nostalgia.
Take a look at photos of The Cult below:

The jihadist group has oil revenues, arms and organization, controls vast stretches of Syria and Iraq and aspires to statehood.
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the self-proclaimed caliph of ISIS, has two deputies. One is responsible for Syria and the other for Iraq.
Mr. Baghdadi relies on a number of advisers with direct access to him. Members of this council help handle religious differences, order executions and ensure that policies conform to ISIS doctrine.
Managers oversee departments like finance, security, media, prisoners and recruitment.
At least a dozen deputies across Iraq and Syria report to the deputy of each country. Many of these officials were military officers during Saddam Hussein's rule.

ISIS has rapidly expanded its control over Iraq and Syria by seizing towns and cities near major supply routes, critical infrastructure and border crossings.
Over the summer, the group pressed deeper into Syria, regaining some territory it had lost to other rebel groups and capturing several government military bases. It is still trying to consolidate its control along the border between Iraq and Syria.
ISIS fighters experienced some setbacks in Iraq, where American airstrikes helped Iraqi and Kurdish forces reclaim the Mosul Dam and the Turkmen city of Amerli.
The group controls many of Syria's eastern oil fields. In July, ISIS fighters took control of the country's largest oil field, Omar, which was producing about 30,000 barrels a day when it was fully functioning. Recently it was producing about a third of that or less.
ISIS expanded its attacks into Iraq's oil-producing areas in June, and an August sweep into the Kurdish region gave it access to more of the country's oil assets. Experts estimate that the Iraqi oil fields under ISIS control may produce 25,000 to 40,000 barrels of oil a day — worth a minimum of $1.2 million in the underground market.
When it seizes a city, ISIS keeps select services operating while using brute force to impose its vision of a fundamentalist Islamic state. Religious police make sure that shops close during Muslim prayers and that women cover their hair and faces in public. Public spaces are walled off with heavy metal fences topped with the black flags of ISIS. People accused of disobeying the law are punished by public executions or amputations. At the same time, ISIS keeps markets, bakeries and gas stations functioning.

ISIS has stolen hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of weapons and equipment from Iraqi and Syrian military installations. It has also intercepted supplies en route to Syrian rebel groups from foreign governments. Conflict Armament Research, a private firm that investigates arms trafficking, has tracked small arms and rockets used by ISIS that appear to have been provided to other combatants by Saudi Arabia and the United States.
Among the weapons that Conflict Armament Research examined were M16 and M4 rifles stamped "Property of U.S. Govt." Such weapons are also in the hands of irregular Shiite forces in Iraq, where the United States provided hundreds of thousands of small arms to supportive forces during its long occupation.
Conflict Armament Research found M79 antitank rockets from the former Yugoslavia that were identical to M79 rockets provided by Saudi Arabia to rebels in Syria.


A few years back, the NBA hall of famer said athletes are not role models.
They are, but they should not be.
I am not sure how many more reminders we need that athletes are people with great skills, but not necessarily great people.
Case in point, Ben Roethlisberger, the quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers, the team I have called my own since before Roethlisberger was born.
In about a nine-month stretch, he has been accused of sexual assault twice.
That is two too many.
I do not know him personally and never will. He is an athlete, one I root for to do his job very well, and one I hope is a good person.
He may or may not have done the things he is accused. Time will tell.
But it is important that we remind kids that it is OK to root for the athlete, but do not confuse the notion the athlete we see on the field is the same person in his or her personal life.
Just because a person performs at the highest level does not mean he or she is a model person.
Whether it is a product of more media scrutiny � certainly that plays a part � or the fact athletes are more fallible (also true), the fact is athletes are showing up in the public record as much as the record books.
There is rarely a week that goes by that an athlete does not get in trouble for something.
From drinking and driving to sexual assault to drugs, there is an endless parade of stories on athletes behaving badly.
Anymore, when I am watching ESPN and another story pops up about an athlete, I am more annoyed than surprised.
I do not live in their world, but how can someone not hire a driver or get a ride home?
How can an athlete not understand the trappings of stardom and at least try and avoid them?
Do they all believe they are immune, that they are ones that will get away with something?
How can Roethlisberger, with one lawsuit hanging over his head, not do everything in his power to avoid another similar situation?
As many problems as Tiger Woods has, at least so far no one has come forward claiming he forced himself on them.
That maybe is a small consolation, but the people he has hurt the most are members of his family.
The older I get, the more convinced I am that the rich and famous are false idols.
It used to be there was a Joe DiMaggio for kids to admire.
Today, the media probably would have hounded him over his marriage to actress Marilyn Monroe and maybe even found some dirt.
The public life is a delicate landscape for athletes to navigate. The money and fame are great. The constant scrutiny, not so much.
Not all athletes act up, and the ones who conduct themselves professionally are not as exciting to read about as the ones who cause problems. But the list of athletes who end up accused of crimes is growing.
It seems there is a sense of entitlement for some. They believe all the good things written about them and feel they can get away with almost anything.
That doesn't sound like a person any kid should emulate.

It isn't the holidays without pecan pie on the table—but you don't need to load up on fat or calories to get a lot of taste. These nutty pies and tarts offer clever and lighter twists on this classic dessert.
Very little says "holiday dessert" like pecan pie. In this collection you'll find all sorts of unique pecan pies and tarts that will have your family begging for the recipe.
Honey's sweet-tangy touch is countered by bittersweet chocolate in this twist on traditional pecan pie. If you'd like a more casual pie, you can make this in a 9-inch pie plate; you'll probably need to bake the filling an additional 3 to 5 minutes.
If you're looking for an easy pecan pie recipe, this is it. To pack lots of pecans in the filling, we kept fat to a minimum in the simple-to-make piecrust, resulting in a biscuit-like texture.
Rolled oats add heartiness to the filling of this classic dessert. Make the pie up to a day ahead, but store it in the refrigerator if you do.


This classic 1930's styled end of terrace property, which included retail accommodation and a former staff flat above, was in a dilapidated state of repair.
DMP initially negotiated and agreed a schedule of dilapidations with the outgoing tenant, which later proved to be a useful contribution to the cost of the general repairs to the fabric of the building.
The clients brief was to provide an increase of net sales area; achieved by demolition and re-building of the rear addition to maximise site cover to its full extent. The upper floors were to be formed into a single maisonette with self-contained rear access and roof terrace.
DMP took on the Contract Administration role, driving the works forward, after successfully obtaining planning permission and preparing detailed construction drawings.
The development was simple in its concept and execution; thus maximising the financial returns. The Minor Works JCT Contract allowed for partial completion, providing the retail tenant the choice to take occupation whilst the residential accommodation was being completed.
The residential works were completed to a high specification prepared by DMP to ensure the highest level of rental return for the area would be achieved.
A group of individuals with properties throughout the UK instructed DMP to administer the proposed landlords works and residential conversion of a, former, Barclays Bank in Worthing.


How is the Rino gearbox working out?
Hey is there anyone state side who custom cuts v-slot anymore? Hobby-Fab was the only one I knew of and they are out of business.
Thankyou 1 more question Z offset So right now I have my z min endstop at 0 on the bed, then I adjusted the springs to get .2mm which I've been doing for years. If I move my endstop let's say 1mm below bed, where would I enter the z offset to get me back to .2mm above the bed. Could I then enable babystepping which would give me live z movement?
Is there a setting in Marlin that I can define which will allow me to make a moves to each of the 4 corners and level the bed manually with the screws?
Kinda confused here. Too bad there isn't more documentation Latest version of Marlin Updated firmware on TFT 2.8 Set baudrate yada yada yada I don't have anything hooked up to board, but how do I know it is communicating? Need to define something in Marlin?
Checked it out on amazon.ca They won't ship to the US UGH!!!
There are alot of brands of PETG out there. Are there any that aren't so glossy. Im not really digging the shiny appearance.
Hmm still having poor layer adhesion imo PSU Cover 2mm sides 70mm tall. Just by chance I squeezed it picking it up with the weight of the mount PSU and it cracked. Ugh! I'd really like to make this out of ABS. Tried several times layers always separate even with a blanket over the printer. But I think it's just way to tall??? Might have to build a heated chamber??
Here is what I came up with. 238/75 Printed quite a few parts today. Only real big issue is getting it to stick without it balling up first, been just pulling the blob away with my ruler String hasn't been a big issue, there are some, but with time I think it'll get dialed in better.


Negative emissions technologies: climate necessity or technical distraction?
On Friday 10 May 2013 the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, measured at the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii, breached 400 parts per million – the highest it has been in millions of years. Projections from the World Bank suggest that the global average temperature could rise by up to 4 degrees over preindustrial levels by 2100 if current pledges to cut emissions are not met, with a 20% chance of exceeding 4 degrees even if they are. This would put us in a world very much unlike the one we currently enjoy, and which allowed civilisation to rise and flourish.
The Copenhagen Accord accepted 2 degrees of warming as a 'safe' limit based on scientific evidence of the time. Recent research suggests that to have a 50% chance of staying under 2 degrees, global emissions must peak by 2020 at the latest, followed by 5% reduction every year thereafter. In 2011-12, global emissions grew by 3%, and even the global financial crisis – and its effects on economic activity and production – only reduced emissions by 1.4%. There is also evidence to suggest that a 2 degree rise over preindustrial levels would actually be more damaging than previously predicted, so we may well need to peak and decarbonise even faster.
Various trends make such deep emissions reduction unlikely. There is a lack of global political consensus on the most appropriate strategies to reduce emissions, and we are locking ourselves into a long-lived energy system fuelled mostly by coal, oil and gas. At the same time global population continues to rise, as does the expectation of a higher standard of living – especially in rapidly developing countries pursuing a perfectly equitable growth agenda.
These points lead us to an uncomfortable conclusion: we are already at risk of failing to meet a target that is itself inadequate to avoid dangerous climate change. Against this backdrop of increasingly challenging news, what are our options?
In addition to reducing carbon emissions at a truly heroic pace – something we are still not doing – there is increasing interest in removing CO2 that is already in the atmosphere, by way of large-scale deployment of so-called negative emissions technologies. Negative emissions technologies take advantage of the carbon flows between the atmosphere, oceans, land and biosphere. In much the same way as we have artificially accelerated the flows into the atmosphere, we could also accelerate flows in other directions. For example, a tree is a natural negative emissions technology. A tree draws CO2 from the atmosphere to grow, and unless the tree burns or rots, the carbon within the tree is stored away from the atmosphere. Afforestation – the conversion of land into forest – would draw a certain amount of carbon from the atmosphere, but it would be slow-acting, and it is questionable whether there is enough land available for tree-planting to make a significant difference to global CO2 concentrations.
Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) is a good example of negative emissions using existing technologies. BECCS uses plants for fuel, but captures the carbon that they have already absorbed from the atmosphere. Given that we are pursuing bioenergy and carbon capture and storage anyway, combining the two seems sensible, but again there is a limit to its potential. Capturing CO2 from burning existing biomass that would otherwise have been untouched would do nothing to reduce atmospheric CO2, so BECCS is limited by the supply of sustainable biomass.
Another option is a process known as direct air capture, the origin of the 'artificial tree' image, where CO2 would be removed from ambient air with chemical processes. One benefit is that it could be deployed anywhere with no fundamental constraints on its scale, though given the very low relative concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere – 400 parts per million is 0.04% – this process would likely be expensive and energy intensive.
But consider a scenario where we do have a viable and cheap way of achieving negative emissions. This introduces a political challenge: if we know we can effectively remove CO2 from the atmosphere will we be less inclined to cut emissions in the first place? This is what economists describe as a moral hazard, and is a valid issue to be addressed. Negative emissions technologies are not an alternative to deep cuts in emissions. The infrastructure and investment required to remove enough CO2 to solve the climate problem would be enormous, and sufficient deployment would take time. As such, negative emissions should only be considered as an additional measure to minimise the risk of dangerous climate change.
Negative emissions technologies are not yet technically ready for large-scale deployment. In general, they are expensive, energy intensive and slow to act. There is a perceived risk that their very existence may discourage action on mitigation, and it is far from clear how well they would even work.
But in a world where we are failing to do the mitigation we know to be necessary, and where 400 parts per million might prove to be a milestone on the journey to a 4-degree warmer world, we must question whether we can afford to ignore anything that could potentially help relieve our climate predicament, including negative emissions. And if we are to understand which forms of negative emissions can be economically, environmentally and socially sustainable, then research needs to happen now to help us understand what our options are.

Q: Redirect if page is blank I'm working on some sort of search engine that adds on to a URL to complete the request. using header(Location:http://www.WEBSITENAME.com/'. $search); Although sometimes this will send me to a blank page. Was wondering if there's any sort of code that will redirect me to another page if that error happens. I want the else to be what it redirects to if the page is blank. Thanks.
My code:

search.php
    <?php
     $search = $_POST["search"];
 if(isset($_POST['search'])){
    header('Location:http://cydia.saurik.com/package/'.$search);
}else{
    ?>
    <?php
    echo "

    ";
    ?>

            Sorry, this tweak was not found...

            Would you like to suggest it? or Return home

        <form method="POST" action="idea.php" name="idea">
            <input type="text" name="idea" value="<?php echo $_POST['search']; ?>"/>
            <input type="text" name="hidden" class="hidden"/>
            <input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
        </form>

    <?php
    exit();
}

?>

A: It could have been better if you can call an api on that site so that you can interact easier with the external site.
I would do something like this:
PHP:
<?php
if(isset($_POST['search'])) {
    $search_text = $_POST['search_field'];
    $location_url = "http://cydia.saurik.com/package/{$search_text}/";
    $content = @file_get_contents($location_url); // use this function to query on site
    if($content) {
        // redirect if it has a result
        header("Location: {$location_url}");
    } else {
        // will go here if query on external site is empty (blank)
        // create your own empty result page that says your search yielded no     results (your own page, redirect the user)
        // sample
        header("Location: http://www.yoursite.com/index.php?noresults=1");
    }
}

?>

HTML:
<form method="POST" action="index.php">
    <input type="text" name="search_field" class="" id="" />

    <input type="submit" name="search" class="" id="" value="Search" />
</form>

<?php if(isset($_GET['noresults'])): ?>

No results found

<?php endif; ?>

Another potential 'bomb' exploded recently, with the online publication of a study which showed that common therapies for controlling blood pressure may have an effect on the risk for breast cancer . The study, which was observational and retrospective, was based on interviews with breast cancer patients and comparable healthy controls in Seattle, USA. Women were asked whether they used antihypertensive medications and, if they did, what type, when, and for how long. The cohort included 880 women with invasive ductal breast cancer, 1027 women with invasive lobular breast cancer, and 856 women with no cancer who served as controls. Results showed that those currently taking calcium-channel blockers for more than 10 years had about 2.5 times the risk for breast cancer (both ductal and lobular) compared to healthy women, whereas the use of angiotensin II antagonists was associated with a non-significant decrease in risk, and diuretics or beta-blockers were neutral in this respect. Shorter periods of use were not associated with a change in breast cancer risk.
I am certain that this news will catch the headlines, since it involves two major diseases of mid-age and beyond. However, as in many other similar scenarios, one should read the manuscript as a whole rather than only the title and abstract. There are many issues to deal with before embracing the data as they are. First, the cohort was perhaps not large enough, and the study was based on interviews/self-report, subject to people's memory. Second, some interesting questions such as doses of medications taken were not recorded and analyzed. Third, there is still no plausible explanation for this association between cancer and anti-hypertension treatment. Some researchers have hypothesized that calcium-channel blockers may inhibit apoptosis through increasing intracellular calcium levels, although evidence supporting this effect is lacking. Fourth, the Discussion section of the article brings information from previous relevant studies, which showed inconsistent results.
The California Teachers Study cohort found that diuretic use for 10 years or longer was associated with a 16% increased risk for breast cancer, while use of calcium-channel blockers and ACE inhibitors was not . A case-control analysis derived from the United Kingdom-based General Practice Research Database found no disease associations with ever-use of ACE inhibitors, calcium-channel blockers, or β-blockers for 5 or more years . The same Seattle research group conducted an earlier population-based case-control study (completely separate from the present study) and found that current use of thiazide and potassium-sparing diuretics was associated with 40% and 60% increases in risk of breast cancer, respectively (duration of use among current users was not assessed) . All in all, of the 12 studies that have evaluated at least one class of antihypertensive agent, results are somewhat inconsistent: four studies found that use of calcium-channel blockers or diuretics is positively associated with breast cancer risk, but eight studies reported no associations. To note that these studies varied in their methodology and the parameters analyzed. Li and colleagues believe that the quality of their current data is sufficient enough to establish a reasonable conclusion that long-term use of calcium-channel blockers may increase breast cancer risk. However, the investigators say that confirmation of the study results is needed before making any clinical recommendations. An Editorial by Coogan at the same JAMA issue supports this conclusion . Dr Coogan is not recommending the discontinuation of therapy at 10 years of use because the data are from an observational study, which cannot prove causality and by itself cannot make a case for change in clinical practice.
The best way to develop better human biology might be evolution-nature's trial-and-error model, where only the strongest survive, but this evolution takes millions of years. Modern medicine has changed this situation dramatically and brought longevity close to 100 years by active manipulations of human physiology. Nevertheless, the appearance of unexpected adverse effects and risks should always be expected during prolonged pharmacological treatment. Nothing in medicine is purely optimal and, therefore, the balance between the upside and the downside of therapy is what matters. Whether or not this study would have an impact on prescription habits of antihypertensive medications remains to be seen.

This page is dedicated to reproducing works of Charles Arthur Rhodes and those of his contemporaries in order to give an insight into the man. Any further contribitions can be made via the Contacts page and will be received with thanks.
C A Rhodes was a much respected measurer of time trial courses. The following article by him, which explains the mysteries of this task, is repoduced from the 1938 Yorkshire Cycling Federation handbook.
C A Rhodes was a prominent administrator, who was very forthright in his views and in formulating policies for the successful control of road cycle sport as it became so popular during the 1930's. The following article, reproduced from the Yorkshire Cycling Federation handbook of 1939, demonstrates his early opposition to the establishment of the Road Time Trials Council. He later changed his views and worked strongly for that organisation.
C A Rhodes was a prolific timekeeper. This grainy period photograph shows him "on duty" some time in the late 1930's and is reproduced from the Yorkshire Road Club 1991 centenary celebration book.
This caricature of C A Rhodes is from the same period.
And finally........... This short profile of C A Rhodes is also taken from the Yorkshire Road Club 1991 centenary celebration book.
If you have any C.A.Rhodes memorabilia or personal recollections which you wish to pass on please use the contacts page.


Our Drop-Off-Pick-Up Packages are great for people who want to enjoy their event, have privacy, and create a much longer event at a much better value.
