Title: Warning To All Islamic Haters of Israel -- Unrelenting Fury of Hatred Is Setting Palestinians and Other Muslims Up For God's Prophesied Judgment
DVD - Book
"The Coming Global Storm"
2-DVD Set
Subtitle: You Are Embarking On 'Mission Impossible' When You Plot To Destroy The Jew
Copyright © 2008 Cutting Edge Ministries. All rights reserved. See full copyright notice below.
Hardly a week goes but that some leader or some group of Islam breathes fire and hatred toward Israel and/or the Jew. Consistently, Islamic leaders are proclaiming a "Day of Rage" against the nation of Israel or against some other enemy of Islam. I have never heard of any other religion display this type of hatred.
Furthermore, this Islamic hatred is intensely directed at Israel. Former Palestinian President Yassir Arafat used to threaten to "make Israel drink from the Mediterranean sea". The Iranian President routinely says that Israel does not have the right to exist and does "not have long to live".
Hamas and the Palestinian Authority are especially venomous against Israel. Let us examine some of those most terrible hatreds being poured out against the Jew and his nation.
NEWS BRIEF: "Hamas' venom builds a culture of hate in Gaza", The News & Observer, April 1, 2008
"GAZA CITY, GAZA STRIP - In the Katib Wilayat mosque one recent Friday, the imam was discussing the wiliness of the Jew.
"Jews are a people who cannot be trusted," Imam Yousif al-Zahar of Hamas told the faithful. 'They have been traitors to all agreements'. At al-Omari mosque, the imam cursed Jews and 'Crusaders', or Christians. He referred to Jews as 'the brothers of apes and pigs'. The Hamas television station, al-Aqsa, praises suicide bombing and advocates holy war until Palestine is free of Jewish control."
Since Hamas took control of the Gaza Strip, her vitriolic stream of venom against Israel has streaked to unprecedented levels. Note this next segment tells us that Hamas is simply equaling the rancorous levels which has been emanating from Hezbollah for a very long time.
"Since Hamas took over Gaza last June .... Hamas sermons and media reports preaching violence and hatred have become more pervasive, extreme and sophisticated, on the model of Hezbollah and its television station al-Manar, in Lebanon ... Al-Aqsa videos praise fighters and rocket-launching teams; its broadcasts insult the Palestinian Authority president, Mahmoud Abbas, for talking to Israel and the United States; its children's programs praise 'martyrdom' and teach what Hamas calls the perfidy of the Jews and the need to end Israeli occupation over Palestinian land, meaning any part of the state of Israel."
This hostility pours out from all Palestinian media outlets 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
"Some Hamas videos, like one in March 2007, promote the participation of children in 'resistance', showing them training in uniform, holding rifles. Recent shows displayed Abbas kissing U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert of Israel, under the slogan 'Palestine doesn't return with kisses, it returns with martyrs'."
"Another children's program, 'Tomorrow's Pioneers', has become infamous for its puppet characters -- a kind of Mickey Mouse, a bee and a rabbit -- who speak, like Assud the rabbit, of conquering the Jews to the young hostess, Saraa Barhoum. . 'We will liberate al-Aqsa mosque from the Zionists' filth', Assud said recently. 'We will liberate Jaffa and Acre', cities now in Israel proper. 'We will liberate the whole homeland'."
This is, indeed, the final goal of all fervent Palestinians is to annihilate all Israel. For this reason, Arafat refused offers from President Bill Clinton and Israeli Prime Minister Barak to give him control over 90% of the West Bank and The Gaza in the year 2000. Why did Arafat refuse this offer? He wanted control over 100% of these areas, plus 100% of Jewish Israel. He really did want to "make Israel drink the sea from the Mediterranean"!
Let us go back to our featured article, to see more of this dreadful hatred.
"Puppets die as martyrs -- The mouse, Farfour, was murdered by an Israeli interrogator and replaced by Nahoul, the bee, who died 'a martyr's death' from lack of health care because of Gaza's closed borders. He has been supplanted by Assud, the rabbit, who vows 'to get rid of the Jews, God willing, and I will eat them up, God willing'. When Assud first made his appearance, he said to Saraa: 'We are all martyrdom-seekers, are we not, Saraa?' She responded: 'Of course we are. We are all ready to sacrifice ourselves for the sake of our homeland. We will sacrifice our souls and everything we own for the homeland'."
Children are also taught this horrific hatred in public schools controlled by Hamas. Now, we hear from an expert on the effect such incessant propaganda has upon children.
"In Hamas education and broadcasting they turn the suicide bomber who murders the innocent into a positive role model, and they portray Jews in the most negative terms, that too often reminds us of language used in Europe in the first half of the 20th century (Nazi Germany) ... what is not fine is to build up children with a culture of hatred, of closed minds, a culture of sickness."
Even though the Palestinian Authority under the direction of Abbas' Fatah has toned down their genocidal hatred against the Jew, they still are guilty to a lesser degree of fomenting this kind of hatred. In fact, Israel is the target of this Neo-Nazi type of propaganda from all quarters of the Middle East. As the author noted, above, the Jew has not been the target of this level and this kind of hatred since Nazi Germany from 1933 - 1945. This news is sobering, because the Nazi propaganda campaign resulted in the attempt to murder all Jews in Europe. Two-thirds of all Jews died from this propaganda campaign, a total of 6 million slain.
Muslims plan that their current campaign will achieve the annihilation of all Jews in the Middle East; some Arab leaders have even gone so far as to say that they want to "finish the job Hitler started".
Prophesied Hatred Toward The Jew At The End of the Age
Interestingly, the Bible says that the Jews will be the target of just this kind of murderous campaign at the End of the Age. And, Biblical prophecy also says that God will make it His aim to destroy all of Israel's enemies at the End of the Age. Therefore, these Arabs are trying to achieve "Mission Impossible"! They are going to meet the power of Omnipotent God head-on, and be annihilated!
Listen to a news story from a suicide bombing in 1998.
"When the smoke cleared from the [terrorist] explosion, Jacob Heyn saw a heart still beating lying on the sidewalk amidst the shattered glass. 'There was no body, just a heart beating'."
God is watching every Palestinian and every Muslim with hate in their heart toward Israel; He is taking notes of every terrorist attempt and every successful terrorist attack, like the one above. As God promised in Joel 3:2 --
"I deal with and execute judgment upon them for their treatment of My people and of My heritage Israel ..."
Therefore, when Muslims murder Jews indiscriminately, and try to accomplish the task of total annihilation that Hitler failed to accomplish, they are embarking on an impossible mission, and they are setting themselves up for the greatest of God's prophetic annihilations.
Since 1948, Arabs have collectively tried to snuff out the life of tiny Israel, attacking her in six major wars, and in countless acts of terrorism. You cannot succeed, because God has set His face against you, and is protecting Israel by the Almighty Power of His Hand! You might consider my article today to be an open warning to all Arab leaders that they had best stop attacking God's people, the Jews. They have no concept that they are opposing Almighty God. God had repeatedly stated, in both Old and New Testaments, that He was going to restore Israel back to her land in the 'latter days', and would restore His betrothal to her. In other words, God was going to deal with Israel, again, as His Chosen People.
Since this is the case, let us first examine some of the promises God made to Israel, before Joshua led the nation into their 'Promised Land'. In the book of Deuteronomy, we read such promises as:
"The Lord has declared this day that you are His peculiar people." (26:18)
God promised that, if the Jews would obey His commandments, He would "set you high above all the nations of the earth", and would bless them in all manner of living and commerce. (28:1-14)
God promised no military defeat, "When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, and a people more than thou, be not afraid of them: for the LORD thy God is with thee, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt... For the LORD your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you."
Think of that promise!! God will fight for Israel, giving her the victory, especially in situations where the Israelites were badly outnumbered! In fact, God gives some interesting insight into the totality of the victory He would give them when He promised, "The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways." (Deuteronomy 28:7)
Again, In Deuteronomy 7:23, God promised to cause great panic to set in amongst the enemies of Israel as they were taking the Promised Land. [Note: The Bible Commentary, p. 222, states that the meaning of panic is in the original language).
Never in modern history have so few dominated so many so thoroughly. The Jews are outnumbered 52 to 1, and they still dominate and defeat the Arabs. How humiliating it must be for the Arabs not to be able to defeat such an outnumbered foe! Furthermore, it has not mattered that the Arabs succeeded in bringing the U.S.S.R. into the conflict on their side. Even though the Arabs have been trained and equipped by the Russians since World War II, they have not been able to defeat Israel.
Does anyone here sense the Presence of Almighty God?
Surely, no one who carefully considers this matter can reach any other conclusion. It would seem to me that, if the Arabs simply lined up 200 million people, armed with anything, they could overwhelm Israel with their sheer numbers. Yet, they do not, and God's protection is the only reason the Arabs cannot win.
Today, the Arabs are trying to win at the bargaining table what they could never win at the battlefield. And, when Arabs are not "negotiating", they are either murdering innocent Jewish men, women, children, and babies, or they are using oil monies to buy Weapons of Mass Destruction in order to annihilate 6.6 million Jews.
God has much to say about how He will treat Israel after He restored her to her land, in the "Latter Days". Generally, God will be protecting Israel as He did in the Old Testament, before she began to so terribly sin against His Commandments.
But, God is also going to remarkably demonstrate His Power and Glory in the "Latter Days", by deliberately stirring up the peoples around Israel to attack her, only so He can miraculously deliver her. The centerpiece of God's love and concern for Israel is Jerusalem. Listen to God's Plan for Jerusalem in these "Latter Days".
"Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it." (Zechariah 12:2-3)
Now, I appeal to everyone to carefully understand what God is foretelling in this remarkable prophecy, made almost 2,500 years ago! After He brings Israel back to her land, God is going to deliberately create the following situation to develop:
Little tiny Jerusalem is going to be the center of attention and agitation, for all the peoples who are living around it. These peoples, the Arabs living around Jerusalem, are going to be mightily agitated over Israeli control of Jerusalem. The Arab peoples surrounding Jerusalem are going to come against it in such a way that the situation will appear as though they have Jerusalem surrounded, as in a siege. They will come in wave after wave against Jerusalem. As one wave is annihilated, another one will take its place. God will annihilate them all.
Later, in the Great Tribulation, we know that this is going to literally happen, i.e., an overwhelming enemy force is going to lay siege to Jerusalem, and will have begun to enter the city, when Messiah comes from Heaven to destroy them by speaking one Word. This annihilation is foretold in Revelation 16:16, and is called the Battle of Armageddon.
Certainly, today's newspapers tell a story that exactly corresponds to this prophetic picture, above. The Arabs have Israel, and Jerusalem, completely surrounded in such an overwhelming manner that the average Israeli citizen must feel as though he is in a siege. And, the Arabs have succeeded in manipulating the Palestinians so that they are creating an Arab state within the tiny nation of Israel, a sharp dagger seemingly poised just inches away from the Jewish heart. In fact, when the "Peace Process" is completely carried out, Israel will be nearly cut off, North from the South, with only a narrow strip of land a few miles wide, joining the two segments. One does not have to be a military genius to understand that, at that point, Israel will be in dire peril, militarily. If an attack came from within the newly created Arab state, Arab forces will have little difficulty cutting off the Northern segment of Israel from her Southern segment. Arab forces might be able to defeat Israel before her armed forces could be fully mobilized [it takes 72 hours to mobilize Israel's reserves].
Palestinian leaders have made it quite plain that they are looking to the Koran for his current strategy in dealing with Israel. In the Koran, the Prophet Mohammed states that, if the Arabs face an enemy so strong they cannot defeat them, they are to sue for peace. Once peace gets underway, the Arabs are to secretly build up their forces, while simultaneously trying to lull their strong enemy to a false sense of security. Then, when the time is right, Arab forces will spring into military action, totally defeating their enemy. This is the Palestinian ruse!
Yet, Israel persists in dealing with this people, trying to achieve "peace"! Now, let us return to the prophecy above.
The final point God makes is that all who try to destroy Jerusalem shall, themselves, be cut into pieces. The picture here is that of a person falling upon a huge rock, being smashed into many pieces.
In Amos 9:11, God foretells that, in the Last Days, he will cause the Old Testament Temple worship to be reestablished ["raise up the tabernacle of David ..."]. Then, in verse 12, God says that this restored Israel will possess the remnant of Edom. The people of Edom are the descendants of Esau, Jacob's older brother, and the present land which they inhabit is East of the River Jordan, which is mostly the land of Jordan, inhabited by the Palestinians.
In Verse 14, God foretells that His newly restored Israel shall be very prosperous both agriculturally and economically. Then, in verse 15, God says, "And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God."
Once God restores Israel back to her land, in the "Latter Days", He will personally assume responsibility for protecting her, so much so that He confidently promises that the Jews will no longer be torn up out of their land.
Daniel 12:1 gives an interesting picture of how God's protection might be carried out. Speaking of the time of the End of the Age, God foretold that Israel was going to face such a threat of annihilation that the great angelic princely angel, Michael, is going to have to stand up from his throne to deliver Israel.
All Arab leaders who are currently plotting against Israel (and they all are) should take these warnings to heart. Of course they won't, because they despise the God of Israel, the Almighty Creator. They are literally fighting against God. This is why they have never been able to defeat Israel in the past, and why they never will in the future. All their plotting and scheming will not only result in defeat, it will result in total annihilation of their nation!!
Consider Obadiah. Verse 15 abruptly shifts the emphasis to the "Day of the Lord", which is the End of the Age. The entire book is written to the Edomites, the descendants of Esau, who had so thoroughly afflicted Israel all throughout history. In verse 15, God foretells that He will bring judgments upon Edom and the entire house of Esau (these are the Arabs immediately surrounding Israel). God is telling that His physical judgment will begin to fall upon these Arabs for the way in which they have consistently mistreated Israel in the past [and, it would seem, in the present].
But, God uses extremely strong language here. He says, in verse 16, that these Arabs will be forced to completely drink from God's cup of Judgment, and they will be destroyed "as though they had not been". Wow! Does that mean that every Edomite man, woman, and child will be killed? We deal with this somber subject in NEWS2095, and encourage you to read it clearly and carefully, for we believe its literal fulfillment is very close, and that the presence of the fences around Palestinian cities and towns, plus the North-South security barrier, are physical evidence that Israel is about to annihilate the Palestinians in literal fulfillment of this passage in Obadiah!
In verse 17. God states that, on Mount Zion, which is in Jerusalem, the people shall be delivered, shall be holy once again, and that "the house of Jacob shall possess its own former possessions". (Bible Commentary, p. 1027)
Now, that is quite a statement! what could it possibly mean that, on Mount Zion, it shall be holy once again? I think it probably means that the Jews will be able to rebuild their Temple on the Temple Mount, which is Mount Zion. And, it also probably means that the Arabic Dome of the Rock will be torn down. Interestingly, the Plan of the New World Order calls for such a destruction of the Dome of the Rock, on page 233, of an incredible book entitled, "The Armageddon Script", by Peter Lemesurier!
The New World Order author, Peter Lemesurier, states plainly that such a destruction would allow the Jews to rebuild their Temple, thus enhancing the "Messianic initiative". This means that such destruction would take place after the New World Order Christ has appeared, and has convinced the Jews that he is their long-awaited Messiah. This is just another exciting instance where New World Order Plans parallel Biblical prophecy.
Now, let us return to Obadiah, verse 18, states that a "fire" will be in the house of Jacob and a "flame" in the house of Joseph, which of course, speaks of the entire nation, Israel. This flaming fire evidently explodes out of the nation of Israel, absolutely engulfing the "House of Esau", burning them to stubble, consuming them so completely that there shall be no survivor of the House of Esau.
Suddenly, all of Israel's immediate Arab enemies shall be totally gone, annihilated, by some kind of fire coming out of Israel. Before we study the possibility of what this "fire" may be, we need to look closely at the result of such devastation of the House of Esau. Verses 19-21 foretell that the Israelites will immediately possess all the land that was formerly inhabited by the House of Esau. This land corresponds to the following current Arab nations in the Middle East:
Now, let us speak of this "fire" exploding out of Israel and consuming the House of Esau. In June, 1990, I read an editorial in the Boston Jewish Advocate. The Jewish author was most adamant in describing the deadly threat that would exist if the Arab nations ever possessed tactical nuclear weapons. Basically, it would be all over for Israel. While they are working on an antimissile weapons, this Jewish author felt that the IDF would have no ability to prevent nuclear artillery shells. Even an antimissile weapon could be expected to be easily overwhelmed by sheer numbers. This author stated that Israeli military leaders expected that this scenario would occur by the end of this decade, at the earliest. The opinion of these military leaders was that Israel had to carry out a preemptive strike before the Arabs could possess tactical nuclear weapons.
And, this meant total annihilation of the Arab nations, not just "winning" another war against them. Every war Israel has fought, since returning to her land, has only set the stage for the next war. In the case with nuclear weapons, Israel must totally annihilate her Arab enemy, for he otherwise would respond quickly with nuclear weapons. Total annihilation.
Now, we need to return to our discussion of the "Peace Process" now under way between tiny Israel and her Arab neighbors. The proposed "Land for Peace" process makes no military sense, as every military man in the world knows fully. Yet, the old general, Rabin, was fully pursuing just such a suicidal plan. Why?
I think, and this is purely personal opinion, that Israel and her generals have sprung a trap for the Arabs to fall into, aiming directly at the instructions in the Koran of trying to use the "Peace Process" as a ruse to annihilate your enemy at the proper time, when he has let his guard down. I believe it possible that Israel decided to give the appearance to all Arab leaders that he is giving in to their insistent demands for a Palestinian state within the heart of Israel, knowing full well they will use this state as the means with which to destroy Israel. With the entire world witnessing the complicity of the Arabs, in preparing to attack, Israel will strike preemptively. Wherever possible, away from the land of Israel, Jewish generals will use their conventional and scalar weapons to totally annihilate Jordan, possibly Egypt, perhaps Syria, and Iraq.
In Scripture, God foretells "Latter Day" judgments on these nations:
* Isaiah 13, a mournful judgment against Babylon of old, which today is Iraq (Read NEWS1704)
* Isaiah 15-16, a mournful judgment against Moab, which is East of the Jordan River, and one of Jordan's provinces today.
* Isaiah 17, a mournful judgment against Damascus, capital of Syria. Damascus is known today as the "world's most continuously occupied city". Since it was established, Damascus has never been totally destroyed; she has continuously been inhabited. Yet, God's prediction is that she will cease to be a city and will become a heap of ruins (17:1)
* Isaiah 19, a mournful judgment against Egypt, for destruction.
Each of these verses begin with God's standard phrase of judgment, "The mournful, inspired prediction, a burden to be lifted up". And, they have never been fulfilled. In contrast, the similar predictions of judgments found in Isaiah 21 through 23 have been historically fulfilled.
I find it very interesting, also, that these nations, listed above, are not listed in the nations who are going to be marching with Russia, from the south and the north of Israel, as foretold in Ezekiel 38-39!
We can only wait and watch to see if my theory is correct. But, understand this: in these last days of the age, Israel will be constantly attacked, and her defeat will seem imminent. But, God has promised that He will fight for her, annihilating her long time Arab enemies. How and when that "fire" and "flame" come exploding out of Israel will be a matter of conjecture until it actually happens.
But, this one thing I know: all Arab leaders plotting Israel's destruction are engaged in "Mission Impossible". Their efforts will only result in their own destruction.
I wish Bill Lambert, the occultic leader of the House of Theosophy, to have the last word. In his seminar, "Possible and Probable Events In the Future", held in the Boston Headquarters of the House of Theosophy, on August 18, 1991, Lambert stated that the Middle East was a key as far as producing the New World Order Christ. He stated:
"The impetus toward this type of settlement is made possible only because of a general fear of war. This fear of war must be maintained until the desired political and religious changes have been instituted."
Watch Israel, one of God's keys to determining the how close the world is to the global New World Order. Truly, the End of the Age is upon us.

Swimming in the 1970s
The Pool and Recreation Committee forms in February of 1971 when Jean Stubbs and Helen George agree to be co-chairs. Ms. Stubbs asks what is being done to ensure completion of the pool and the answer is "nothing, " which prompts the formation of the committee which goes on to organize the completion of the pool and the building of the Scripps Ranch Swim and Racquet Club.
By Spring 1971, the interim swimming pool for the Scripps Ranch homeowners is under construction near the mansion and will be completed in June, per the Spring 1971 issue of the Penny Press.
Spring 1971 issue of the Penny Press.
The pool finally opens on June 15, 1971, after extensive efforts by the Pool and Recreation Committee.
Scripps Ranch also organizes a backyard swim program in conjunction with the Miramar Ranch PTA and the American Red Cross, with swim lessons offered for children of all ages at various residents' pools. This program continued for over eight years and was organized by Mibs Somerville.
More than 900 people turn out for a family-style picnic on March 26, 1972, to celebrate the opening of the $500,000 recreation center for Scripps Ranch residents. San Diego City Councilwoman Maureen O'Conner, a former exhibition swimmer, dedicates the center. The center was one year in the planning, designed to specifications of a homeowners' committee and will be operated by Leadership. It is the public's only opportunity to visit the center, as it will operate as a private club for homeowners following the dedication. This club replaces the interim pool and becomes the current Scripps Ranch Swim and Racquet Club on Aviary Drive.
The Scripps Ranch Recreation Club holds its first party, an old-fashioned Halloween Costume Party, on October 28, 1972, costing $2 per couple.
The operations of the Scripps Ranch Recreation Club have become more formalized. Leadership Housing leased the property to Scripps Ranch Recreation Club, Inc., a non-profit corporation, and the Club's Advisory Board hired its first manager. Further expansion of the facilities depends on City Council approval of a proposal to build some 300 more homes over the next two years.
The initiation fees for new members to the Scripps Ranch Recreation Club are $150.
Initiation fees for Scripps Ranch Swim and Racquet Club increase from $150 to $250. Monthly dues increase from $15 to $20.
A time capsule is sealed on the grounds of the Swim and Racquet Club with the goal of opening it 100 years later at the Tri-centennial.
Families joining the Scripps Ranch Swim and Racquet Club pay i) an entitlement fee, that goes with the homeowner's property, of $600, ii) an initiation fee of $300 and monthly dues of $25. Starting on January 1, 1984, these three amounts increase to $720, $360 and $30, respectively.
The Grand Opening of the second site of the Scripps Ranch Swim and Racquet Club is held.
The Scripps Ranch Swim and Racquet Club board increases dues by $5 and initiation fees from $420 to $540, effective January 1, 1988. The SRSRC membership approves construction of a junior Olympic pool at the Scripps Trails site, which is hoped to open in the summer of 1988.
The Grand Opening of Scripps Ranch Swim and Racquet Club facility at Scripps Trails is celebrated.
Dues at the Scripps Ranch Swim and Racquet Club increase from $45 to $52 per month. Initiation fees are $750.

Q: PHP: Recommended way to escape slashes in path (e.g. to prevent directory traversal attack) I am looking for a PHP function to sanitize strings into safe and valid file names with no directory separators (slashes).
Ideally it should be reversible, and it should not scramble the name more than necessary.
Of course I want to prevent intentional directory traversal attacks. But I also want to prevent subfolders being created.
I figured that urlencode() would work, but I wonder if this is sufficient, and/or if there is something better or more popular.
Also if there is something that works equally well on Windows (backslash as directory separator) - so the solution would be portable.
Use case / scenario:
As part of a data import, I want to download files from remote urls into the local filesystem. The urls are from a csv file. Most of them are ok, but they may contain more slashes than expected.
E.g. most of them are like this:
https://files.example.com/pdf/12345.pdf
But then individual files might be like this:
https://files.example.com/pdf/1/2345.pdf
The files should all go into the same directory, e.g.
https://files.example.com/pdf/12345.pdf -> /destination/dir/12345.pdf
A file like 1/2345.pdf should not result in a subdirectory. Instead, the / should be escaped in some (reversible) way. E.g. with urlencode() this would be 1%2F2345.pdf.

A: You could create a set of replacements.  For example, you could make the / char that appears in a filename be represented with something else like "(slash)". Simply use str_replace to to switch between looking up a filename and encoding a filename into a url.  This is only one example.

A: This should help you.
Input: https://files.example.com/pdf/1/2345.pdf
Output: pdf_1_2345.pdf
$url = 'https://files.example.com/pdf/1/2345.pdf';
$parse = parse_url($url);

//get path, remove first slash
//$path: pdf/1/2345.pdf
$path = substr($parse['path'],1);

//result becomes: pdf_1_2345.pdf
$result = str_replace('/','_',$path);

EDIT: The best bet is to store remote file url in the database, hashing its value (using md5 or similar) and saving file under that name locally, storing that hashed value in the database too.
This is your best bet, this way you can always know which remote file  corresponds to your local file, and vice versa, and you won't have to deal with filenames locally, as they could be whatever you want (as long as you keep them in check for uniqueness)
Database Table:
--------------------
| id | remote_url                  | local_name     |
-----------------------------------------------------
| 1  | http://example/.../123.pdf  | sdflkfd..dl.pdf|

You get the idea.

A: You can use this function, it replaces all directory separators with an underscore.
function secureFilePath($str)
{
    $str = str_replace('/', '_', $str);
    $str = str_replace('\\', '_', $str);
    $str = str_replace(DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, '_', $str); // In case it does not equal the standard values
    return $str;
}

Q: Prove that null $T$ = null $\phi$. Suppose $V$ and $W$ are finite-dimensional, $T\in\mathscr L(V,W)$, and there exists $\phi\in V'$ such that range $T'$ = span $(\phi)$. Prove that null $T$ = null $\phi$.
I just need some assistance cleaning up my proof and then clarifying what to do at the end.
Let $v\in$ null $T$. Then $T(v)=0$. Since range $T'$ = span $(\phi)$, there exists some $\theta \in W'$ such that $T'(\theta)=\theta T=\phi$. Now, $\phi(v)=\theta T(v)=\theta(0)=0$. Thus, $v\in$ null$\phi$. This implies null $T \subset$ null $\phi$.
I am not sure what to do after this step to finally say that null $T$ = null $\phi$.

A: The direction that you are missing:
Assume that $v\in null(\phi)$.
Let $w'\in W'$. Then $w'(T(v))=T'(w')(v)$, by definition of $T'$.
Since $\phi$ generates the range of $T'$ we can write $T'(w')$ as $r\phi$.
Therefore, $w'(T(v))=T'(w')(v)=(r\phi)(v)=r\phi(v)=0$.
Since $w'$ was arbitrary, it follows that $T(v)=0$. $\leftarrow$ This simple way to prove that a vector is zero is extremely useful in linear algebra. Keep it always in your head.
This is, $v\in null(T)$.

Later topic: Rollers from American Printing Supply?
Over the last few days there has been considerable discussion about presses for Newbies, and some recommendations about a C&P purchase by a person untrained in printing. This seems unwise to me.
There is no way I'd recommend a C&P or any other large platen press to a newbie. The long and short of it is that they BITE and BITE HARD if you get your fingers in the wrong place. I've seen far too many printers with missing fingers to think that a person with no training could operate one safely.
Legally, most of the old presses cannot even be used in a commercial shop since they don't even come close to modern safety standards, no matter how slow you run them. WE use them, of course….. but every one of us who sells printed work produced on an old platen press does so against OSHA rules, and contrary to Federal Law. (CFR 1910 to be exact) MOST of us know this, and accept the risk of both personal injury and/or legal action if someone else gets hurt.
However….. most Newbies are probably NOT aware of the dangers of older presses. Thus I wonder if it is responsible or wise to advise them to purchase such a machine. A far better recommendation would be to advise them to purchase a Pilot or some other Lever-operated press like a Kelsey…. or possibly a proof press. (These machines will still smash your fingers, but they are far less dangerous than our old Beasts). Then after they've worked with it for a few years, they could move up to a powered press of some sort.
Us older printers have a responsibility to teach newbies. Part of that responsibility is to make sure we don't send them down a path that will result in the loss of a finger or two.
I have to disagree with you. The up-tick in interest for letterpress is both encouraging and a positive thing. It seems to me, the issue is that more education is needed for the newbies and caution in the use of all the presses. A Vandercook can injure one just as easily as a C&P.
The problem arises when new printers jump right in without doing any research, study or training. Since floor model platens are usually the least expensive entrypress, unless one is lucky enough to get a free press, to discourage potential printers is to force them to spend more money. I concur with your last paragraph, us older printers have the responsibility to teach them. I am old but my first press was an 8"x12" C&P floor model. I am careful and don't try to print anything when I am tired. The caution comes with age.
I agree that the upsurge in interest is a positive thing….. and I spend a great deal of time encouraging younger printers.
However, recommending that they buy a potentially dangerous piece of equipment when they do not have someone close at hand to teach them how to use it is wreckless. I am sure that some newbies would do fine in such a learn-as-you-go situation….. but others would not.
Even with good instruction, the injury rate in letterpress shops of old was quite high. I myself have seen more than one severly mangled finger and one severed hand due to inattention…. and this was in otherwise well-managed shops. As a movement, we would be wise to avoid advising such a dangerous course.
Also… the cost arguement is a weak point. Used Kelseys, Craftsmen, and Pilot Presses are available in the marketplace, often for less than the cost of moving and setting up a C&P. Even if a C&P were free, it still would not be a good deal for someone who doesn't understand it's rather unforgiving nature. The possibility of serious injury for an untrained individual is just too high.
It is a truism that any technology that kicks down to a cottage style activity brings with it risks when employed by untrained persons attracted to the lure of fine printing. In an oblique way this is part of the appeal. Mastering a hobbyist's tabletop press does not adequately prepare one for a nearly two ton electric clamshell platen machine. Common sense prevails here. My interpretation of the many queries posted on this site as to which entry level press is advisable originates with newly minted advocates who intend to use letterpress printing as an adjunct to their creative work. The specter of OSHA intervention at this juncture is unwarranted. And yes, a thorough course in the fundamentals of letterpress printing would provide good standing for any letterpress aspirant.
I am a third generation letterpress printer/professor who, like many, started with a rubber stamp and ink pad and graduated over time to more complex and sophisticated machinery. The often damning feature and 'madness' of letterpress is the addictive beauty it can produce.
Vance, I think the mention of OSHA is relevent to the discussion, not because I worry about any sort of intervention, but rather to point out that they consider such equipment to be hazardous to operate. While they are known for being overly zealous when it comes to identifying hazards, they are right in this case. A C&P and other platen jobbers have certain hazards that cannot be easily mitigated.
I am not advocating that we do away with these machines…. not at all. I love my equipment. What I AM advocating is that we as a group should not be quick to advise people with no training to jump right into running a motorized platen press.
The real key is education and training, and part of that education must include strong warnings that such a machine can be dangerous.
the cautions along with the craft.
members at our co-op letterpresses studio.
to see the old castings & pinstriping.
and I def. HAVE fallen to the 'madness' of letterpress!
I've read all the above responses and find it exhilarating, the cautions, the concerns, the sense of responsibility, the love of craft, etc and can understand all points of view.
Lever operated presses are a common sense way to introduce new comers to the craft. Flywheel presses with treadles are the next step, then motor powered when very proficient.
My one and only dangerous moment was when making ready late one night, the machine was stopped and the power was "off". I had fortunately taken the machine off impression and while both hands were in the press, the flywheel rolled to a more resting position and the platens moved together. Thankfully my hands were in a place in the form where there was no furniture and type, and I worked one hand out to stop the flywheel completely closing the platens. I was very concerned that the right hand had been stretched and strained some tendons. For a moment I thought my piano playing days were over. There's not much repertoir for a left handed pianist and a one handed opera singer.
I considered myself a very proficient operator, but never since!
A small lever operated press on an unstable table will break your foot when it falls as quickly as a job press will crush your hand because you're leaning over the press instead of standing straight. A hand saw will not slice though your thumb as cleanly as will a table saw but if you don't know how to use either one, or you do and simply don't pay attention to what you're doing, you're going to be called Four-Fingers.
When you first learn to drive a car you don't use an adult-sized pedal car to practise and then move up to get behind the wheel of the 3000 pound steel and rubber monster. To operate any machine however powered the principals of how the machine functions and the methods of its use must be properly understood. Then you are far less likely to set the small press on an inadequate table, lean over the motorized job press when you're feeding it so your fingers can get caught, or smash into a telephone pole. You might still get hurt through inattention or some other fault, but your chances of it are considerably reduced.
Taking a shower is a risky business and potentially life-threatening. No tools or power machines are involved, just the laws of physics and gravity on a wet, slippery surface. Yet we even allow children to take showers and do so ourselves. A bath is even more dangerous since at least with a shower we usually have a rubber mat to step on. When getting into or out of a bath we take our life into our hands (or feet). Beware!
Money is not the best argument but it's not completely irrelevant in the real world. I don't know where some people find these Kelseys or Craftsman tabletop presses for $50 or even free, but I haven't found that place. Kelseys seem to go for upwards of $500 and Pilots for $1000 or more. You can probably buy four or five platen jobbers for that much, or one press and most or all of the other items you'll need to print. My press is an 8x12 Chandler and Price OS with motor. I'm a new printer and this is the press I'm learning on. Of course, my first purchases were books and more books and I did an awful lot of research on the internet and elsewhere. This was partly so I would know what to buy and what to avoid and what would meet my needs. But it was also to learn how the equipment worked and how to use it. Please note the distinction, both things are important.
Emphasizing proper and sufficient preparation is the way to encourage and guide new people interested in learning how to become letterpress printers. This preparation can and should take many forms. If after study and even some classes a tabletop press is what someone decides is right, great. If a motorized platen jobber, then fine.
Nothing should be rushed into without adequate understanding. But fear is not a good teacher, motivator, or guide and instead of leading in the right direction may, even unintentionally, lead the wrong way. If a motorized press is not right for someone this should be determined by a positive, knowledgable and honest evaluation. Of course, common sense doesn't hurt either.
P.S. I am not missing any fingers…yet.
I am also lucky in that the one time my hand was caught in my platen press, the chase wasn't in. I have a scar on my hand to remind me of the incident!
When our letterpress instructor introduced us to the C&P, she stressed the dangers of it and told us that if we were uncomfortable, we had the option of waiting for the Vandercook. Of course, more than one person I know have gotten their hand smashed a bit by a Vandercook (including me), so I wouldn't say that a Vandercook is really much safer than any other press out there.
Really, we should all advocate that all interested parties go find a letterpress class or workshop or something and learn the process of letterpress printing. Many may find that while they like letterpress products, the nitty gritty printing process is not for them.
Rich- you and I are in agreement that there are hazards associated with any type of printing, and with life in general. That is simply a part of the human condition. However, some of your arguements concerning risk are not entirely correct.
Any woodworker and/or emergency room nurse will tell you that a table saw or bandsaw has a far greater potential to inflict serious bodily injury that their hand-powered counterparts. Chainsaws are more dangerous than bowsaws or crosscut saws. (Axes are terrible, though. I'll admit that) The same holds true for printing presses. Yes, a Kelsey can do you harm… but the potential is far less, and the resulting injuries are not as likely to be debilitating.
As far as the Car analogy goes, you are simply incorrect. Almost ALL of us recieved our base understanding of automobiles through a series of small steps as children. We watched our parents and bus drivers dailly as they turned the steering wheels, and stayed on the right side of the road. We drove around in our pedal cars, or little pink Barbie Cars, and later rode our bicycles. We played video arcade games with steering wheels. Then later we received instruction from our Dads or older brothers…. or Driver's Ed classes. Finally when we were 16 we had to prove to the State that we were capable of handling a 3000 pound machine before we were allowed to do so. Cars are so ingrained in our culture that virtually every day of our first 16 years we were "in training" to become drivers.
People are not similarly exposed to printing presses. Very few Newbies had the chance to watch folks working with hand presses or platen jobbers as children…. or work in printing shops. Most have no concept of the potential dangers. To make the problem worse, many do not even have a base understanding of machinery.
My point is NOT that one should not purchase and use a C&P. I own one myself and use it regularly. What I AM saying is that it is unwise for a person with no training to think that they can "learn on the job" safely. Some might be able to do so…. but others are setting themselves up for serious injury. A far better course of action would be to acquire training FIRST and then look into buying a press….. and if training is not available, then it's better to buy a less dangerous machine.
Please don't assume that any person new to the craft of letterpress is off printing with reckless abandon. I first learned to use a Vandercook and then a C&P with a treadle but within a year or so bought my first C&P with motor. I have always been very careful and within the last several years of operating my press, have never had an accident. If anything, I think I was extra cautious BECAUSE I was newer at this. I bet more accidents happen by those who become careless regardless of years of experience.
I do agree that proper safety measures should be taught regardless and rather than discouraging a "newbie" from jumping right in with a floor platen, I would be more hesitant of any person getting any press without ever taking so much as a class. If they take classes, workshops, apprenticeships etc they will learn proper safety issues regarding the press, chemicals, lead type etc….
A C&P is only dangerous if you consider it your friend.
I've been running letterpresses for over 20 years.
I learned to run the presses, set type and respect the pressroom by the guys who were setting newspapers and phone books in lead type. It wasn't just a cool way to print cards, it was a trade where you needed to serve an apprenticeship and work your way up to pressman. Learning not only running presses, but also to repair and troubleshoot each job.
I was always instilled with a repsect for the machinery and the inherent dangers in running presses.
I heard of a lot of people going out and buying jobber presses and laughed.
I wouldn't like to think of anyone with no experience trying to figure out any old letterpress.
My shop currently has a 8x12 Oldstyle C&P, 2 Kluges from the 30's, one with foil, and a 10x15 Heidelberg Windmill that I run all by myself.
I've been 'bitten' a few times in my career, but I thank my lucky stars that I was trained properly.
I'd like to thank everyone for their comments, epsecially those who have a different viewpoint than my own. This has been an excellent discussion.
Reading over the posts, it is obvious that we ALL agree that the key to safely operating a C&P or any press is training and caution. Printing can be a wonderful trade, avocation, hobby or adjunct to other creative ventures. We can do things with our old presses that more modern styles of printing cannot come close to duplicating….. which has finally started to become valued by our society. It is my hope that we can continue this increased awareness…. and do so safely.


This is something that a number of social workers seem to get confused with.
Please note that every Authority has a different name for their teams however, it can be quite easy to determine what one is what.
When you are trying to find the right role for you it can be difficult to know where you would even want to start.
I have done this article within 11 different teams. I have only provided a summary of what these teams do. Some will overlap with others and in all roles there will be further information that I have not included.
This is the front door to any children's Social Care safeg uarding team. It is a range of support workers and social workers who take the intial calls from from professionals and members of the public. They will collate all of the required information and triage this to the appropriate team if actions are required. They will only hold these cases for a short while usually around 2-3 days before a decision is made. They have a quick turn around and are often juggling many things at once.
This is a team of social workers who cover from 5pm until 08:30 the nexy day. They complete shifts and cover any emergencies that are occur that require a social worker's oversight or action. They will pick this up if it could not wait until the allocated social workers team are back in the following day or after the weekend or bank holiday. They sometimes have to act as an appropriate adult or have to arrange a placement for a child's safety at the last minute.
These teams have a variety of professioals with different experiences. The aim is for professionals to hold these cases to prevent the cases being transferred to the social work teams. They hold the lower level cases and professionals can vary from housing workers, beneifts workers, children's centre workers, family intervention workers, parenting groups workers and so on. This team is all about the preventative work with families. There are sometimes social workers working within these teams or managers with social work experience. Social workers often step cases down to Early Help teams when there is some further work that needs to be completed e.g. support around parenting groups or support around finances and so on.
This is a team of social workers who complete Single Assessments within 40 days and determine what the required outcomes are; Case closure, support from early help, Child in Need Plan (CIN) or Child Protection Plan (CP). This should be a short term team with a quick turn around of cases.
AKA CIN Teams/ Strengthening Families Team. Sometimes these teams are also completing Single Assessments (SAF) however, it depends on the Local Authroity. Some of these teams can also have Family Intervention workerks to help support the case holding social worker. Once a SAF h as been completed the social worker will then develop the CIN plan which will be reviewed at a minimum of every 12 weeks. The child/ children will be seen at a minimum of every 6 weeks. The aim is for support to be offered to the family with the hope that you can then step down to early help support or even case closure. It is important to note that this is a voluntary team and families don't have to engage with the service at this stage. If there continue to be concerns with no change or things deteriorate consideration would be given to whether a Stragey Meeting is required. This means that Social Care, Police, health services and any professionals working with the family will have a multi agency discussion and they will make a descion as to whether an Initial Child Protection Case Conference (ICPC) is needed. If and ICPC is required then a decion would be made at this meeting whether the child/ children are at risk of significant harm.
This is when an ICPC has been convened and the child/ children have been made subject to Child Protecion Plans under one of the following four categories; Neglect, Emotional, Physical or Sexual harm. This Plan is then reviewed after 12 weeks and then on-going reviews every 6 months. On top of this they also hold Core Groups every 4-12 weeks to review the CP Plan. If concerns continue to be raised the Local Authority may seek legal advice with the view to initiating Public Law Proceedings to determine wheter any Cour Orders are required to protect the child/ children. The child/ children would need to be seen as a minimun of every 6 weeks. However, the child should be seen more often that this.
Also known as the LAC Team. Once a decion has been made that a child/ children are going to remain in Foster Care under S20 or by Court Orders the case will transfer to the LAC Team. Children will be supported in this team until they are 21 years old (25 years old if they are engaged in education or training). They will have visits from their social worker every 6 weeks within the first year of being in care and then every 12 weeks after this time. Often children can be placed outside of the local authority area and they must be able to make visits to see these children in line with the statutory requirements. The social worker will attend arrange LAC reviews for the child to ensure all the outcomes are regularly achieved for the child/ children.
Also known as CDT. This is for children with a permanent disability who without support they would be impaired without access to specialist provisions, adaptations or equipment. Each Local Authority has a different criteria of what level of cases they hold. They support children and their families with organising and providing support and services. This support is available until the child reaches 18 years old and then the case would transfer to the adults team. They will hold regular reviews and oversee the plan that is in place to ensure that the outcomes are being achieved for the child and their family.
This will include supervising foster carers, completing form F assessments and presenting cases at panel. They will also be involved in training events, attending LAC reviews, regularly speaking to the child's social worker and providing on-going support to the foster carers.
The social workers will be involved with the recruitment, assessment of Adopters and will provide support to furture adopters. After ther adotion order is granted support can be offered for up to three years. After this time social workers can also support with Adoption Support Fund Applications to enure that the correct services are in place to support the family.
These social wokers help to reduce risk and protect children who are at risk of child sexual exploitation. They work with children who are subject to CP plans or CIN plans. They will liase with the allocated social worker and provide support and guidance to professionals working with the child. They will complete direct work with the child to help them understand the risks and to help raise their awareness of CSE.
I hope this has helped you with a summary of the different roles available.

Layan Beach is the name of the northern end of Bangtao Beach on the west coast of Phuket. Unlike the majority of Phuket's west coast beaches, it is still a very tranquil area, where you can lie and relax under the shade of the tall pine trees bordering the beach.
Most people who visit this superb beach are Thai and expats and it all looks the same as it used to 20 years ago. The sea is pretty calm here due to the fact that the beach is sheltered by Koh Kala, a small island located at its northern part.
There's a restaurant and a few beach chairs at the beginning of the beach, as well as Dream Beach Club, which is one of Phuket's best clubs. The restaurant serves good and fair-priced Thai and western food and is a nice place to enjoy lunch or a sundowner. Behind the beach you find a small pier with long-tail and fishing boats along a small river leading to a lagoon situated north of Koh Kala. Here, you can rent a sea kayak at the restaurant and go around Koh Kala and the lagoon.
The pier also has a Sea Rescue centre and a few small shops where you can find some Thai snacks, fruits and drinks. Besides the pier, on the road flanking the beach there's a toilet/shower booth in which you can clean up before to drive back to your hotel.
Far from the crowds, Layan Beach is still a small easily accessible Phuket paradise. Tree-fringed beaches such as Layan are very popular with local people as they offer cooling shelter from the sun.
Koh Kala is easy to explore and will make you feel like a real Robinson Crusoe, plus it is only separated from the mainland by a few metres. The lagoon north of the beach is very beautiful and there's not much development yet in the area, only a few villas and properties.
How to get there: The easiest way to get there is to pass through Laguna Complex and follow the small road along the coast heading north.

Home renovation and home remodeling are just other names that go along perfectly with the thought of home improvement. Essentially, means that about is essential renovation or adding something to the home. The saying improvement however applies to a few major aspects: 1) it might make reference to a project that seeks to upgrade the preexisting interior of a house (e.g. plumbing and electrical), 2) the improvement is centered on the side (e.g. roofing, siding, concrete, and masonry), or 3) it really is dedicated in improving the rest of the property or home (e.g. garage maintenance or garden work.
There are many unique variations of Seattle Bungalow Interiors Images and are categorized into groups in accordance with their goals. Progress project can be performed to boost levels of comfort a property can offer. For instance the upgrade of systems of HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning). Adding luxuries to some house falls under this category to boot while does increasing the proportions of both electrical and plumbing systems. Improvement can take on the sort of maintenance and repair this also includes replacing of roof or windows.
Another sort of home improvement is one that's done in order to create additional space. This is completed either to enlarge the square footage of a house or take advantage of an otherwise unused corner for the sake of spatial efficiency. Your basement, for example, is often become a home business, your house theater, or possibly a recreational room. A whole new room may also be added sideways on the town or built upward above footwear roof. Improvement project may be carried out in the reducing utility costs. Most notable form of project are addition of thermal insulation, use of energy-efficient lighting, and installing of solar panels.
The last type of Seattle Bungalow Interiors Images is one dedicated to enhance safety measures and increase emergency preparedness. This can be done by, as an example, installing alarm systems for burglary or home fire—or both, installing systems of fire sprinkler, and adding security shutters, windows, and doors. Safety are generally improved further by creating storm cellars to use shelter in usually in the hurricanes—particularly in places that such happening is common. Additionally,it is smart to install backup generators so your house may as well function even during power outages.
