Parquet Courts, Brooklyn Steel, New York, 1st April 2022
Four word and a symbol review
Parquet Courts = Punk Floyd
Slightly more considered review
On the last night of my first trip to New York in six years, and my first proper overseas trip in 27 months, we head over to Brooklyn to see Parquet Courts.
The band were formed in Brooklyn, though three of them hail from Texas, so this is very much a homecoming gig. It's the first of two nights and it's rammed. The audience, largely white and male, is very American - preppy, 20s-40s (we Brits feel like the oldest swingers in town). As we wait for them to take the stage, the sound system belts out Todd Terje's remix of M's Pop Musik. It's an odd choice, but it's a great mix and its pulsing beat sets the scene for what's to follow. Also, as the lights shoot out from the stage, they hit a smog of clouds of marijuana that swirl around the room from the crowd. New York legalised marijuana on 31st March 2021. A year and a day on, New York has taken to it with gusto.
We stick to the beers and marvel at crowd through the viscous haze that surrounds us. Then the band take the stage, launching into Application/Apparatus from their new album, Sympathy For Life. It's a pulsing piece of Krautrock, a modern day sibling to Pink Floyd's One Of These Days from Meddle. They quickly move to Human Performance and Dust from their 2016 album, Human Performance. Both tracks are Pavement-esque - slack, repetitive and brilliant.
They swing again to post punk belter Almost Had To Start A Fight / In And Out Of Patience - a song that feels like it will implode and trip over itself at any moment. It brings some much needed energy to the show. The song hurtles along as a friendly man from Washington DC hears we are English and tries to engage me in a conversation about soccer, wanting to know my favourite team - he's baffled when I explain soccer's not my bag. He's genuinely nice, and we marvel about the amount of dope around the place. But I really want him to shut the f*** up so I can watch the gig - I never felt I had to start a fight, but my limited levels of patience are tried.
The band continue, clearly having no concern about my utter disinterest in my national sport. Their influences continue to show though - Marathon Of Anger and Sympathy For Life are Talking Heads at their most languid and funky. New single Watching Strangers Smile is slacker garage rock - Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers on a sunny day. Plant Life is a chilled Happy Mondays - Parquet Courts could do with a Bez, they really could.
Standouts are the brilliant Wide Awake, which grooves along, shouting "I'm wide awake
Mind so woke 'cause my brain never pushed the brakes". It's not the most sophisticated lyric, but it's a cracking tune and the crowd are getting down with their bad selves. Mardi Gras Beads is more Syd Barrett-esque Floyd, while closer Pulcinella is seven minutes of gut wrenching sadness - it's lovely, its closing guitar coda is fabulous and mesmerising.
The whole show is fantastic, aided by the beers and the smoke around us. The tunes are a mix of joyful, danceable tracks, often with unconventional song structures, instant pop hooks and even the occasional whistle. As we leave, my companion is concerned they are a little too perfect, a little too polished, a little too slick. I know what he means and at times despite the shouting, the Krautrock beats and the unconventional tunes, it is a little antiseptic, a little safe, But it's great fun and I will definitely see them again. If you get the chance go!
For fans of: Pavement, Talking Heads, (early) Pink Floyd

Wondering what to get your elderly parents for Christmas? If they've already got enough scarves and warm socks and they've told you they really don't need anything… try looking around their home from a different perspective and see if there's not something you can DO for them.
START AT THE ENTRANCE. If there's a step to either the front or back door, is there a sturdy handrail? Are the steps even? Turn your attention to outside lights. Is there good lighting outside the door?
Then come inside the door, when mum or dad locks the door at night, is the key left in the lock? This will mean no-one can unlock the door from outside if your parent is inside and needs help. If not in the lock, are the keys nearby in case they have to get out quickly? A handy solution can be a simple hook (either in the nearby wall or a suction hook on the door) for the keys to hang on. And don't forget the doormat – is it a trip hazard?
REDUCE SLIPS AND TRIPS. On the subject of mats, check all the mats and rugs around the house. Are they curling up and causing a trip hazard? Replace them. Do they need a rubber liner underneath to stop them slipping? Cast your eyes around for potential trip hazards – wires or objects on the floor and see if they can be moved. Then turn your attention to footwear. Sloppy slippers, open-backed slippers, worn-out slippers, big-fluffy-loose-fitting slippers should all go.
BRIGHTEN THE PLACE UP. Pay attention to lighting inside too. As they get older and eyesight deteriorates, your parents may benefit from more powerful overhead light fixtures, as well as task lights carefully placed near work surfaces such as kitchen counters. Make sure that the ambient lighting is glare-free and at a consistent level from one room to the next to avoid eye strain.
VISIT THE BATHROOM. Mum or Dad might say they really don't need grab rails in the bathroom. But when they are there, you do just use them without giving it a thought. If you do slip in the bathroom you tend to go down with a bump. So avoid it. Non-slip mat? Bath seat? Raised toilet seat?
GET TECHNOLOGICAL. There is no need to be completely tech savvy, but there are some useful gadgets. Do they receive lots of cold calls making them get up to answer the phone all the time? These can be screened and blocked. How about a daily skype or facetime? Not only does it keep you in touch but you can also see how they are looking.

It is never too late to begin a programme of exercise and the benefits can be great. Improving your strength, stamina and balance will not only make you feel better, you may lose weight and lessen your risk of having a fall due to poor balance.
Balance is affected by several factors; decreased vision, weak hips and legs, poor posture and general weakness. Some prescription drugs can have side-effects that affect balance. Low blood pressure and not eating properly can also lead to light-headedness, making us more susceptible to a fall. That is why beginning a balance programme which incorporates strength training, endurance training and balance training is essential in maintaining and promoting good balance and overall health and wellbeing. It's best to approach beginning exercise gently,5 minutes a day is enough to make a difference and you can increase this over time as your strength and stamina improve.
A study published in the journal Age in 2014 trained and tested a group of 24 people aged between 91 and 96 for 12 weeks. One group of 11 trained twice a week, carrying out vigorous exercises for strength and to improve balance. The 13 others did 30 minutes of far less strenuous mobility training, including gentle stretching and flexibility exercises. At the end of the experiment, the first group showed a significant improvement in walking speed, hip and knee flexibility. Their muscle mass had increased, they found it easier to get out of their chairs and they were less likely to fall over.
The group that did less strenuous exercise showed far less progress. Professor Mikel Izquierdo, who led the research, said physical inactivity causes muscle loss and frailty. He said: 'The training raised their functional capacity, lowered the risk of falls, and improved muscle power. To get all of the benefits of physical activity, try all four types of exercise; endurance, strength, balance, and flexibility.
This will give you the maximum benefit. Just make sure that you never exercise when you feel unwell, have a fever or swollen joints. It is also always very important to speak with your doctor before you begin a new exercise regime, especially if you have underlying health problems that could be exacerbated by undertaking a sudden change in your activity levels.
You can do balance exercises almost anytime, anywhere, and as often as you like, as long as you have something sturdy nearby to hold on to if you become unsteady. In the beginning, using a chair or the wall for support will help you work on your balance safely. It's a great starting point for someone new to exercise as they are usually simple and low impact and will be most important in helping you reduce your risk of losing balance and falling.

Healing the Wounds of History
Experiential journeys enabling people to become more aware of and heal unresolved past wounds, thus addressing the deeper causes of violence.
HWH Training
Garden of Forgiveness
The challenges faced by Lebanon and the region are self-evident. Cycles of violence have played out repeatedly through the ages. All of this is well documented, but what is less obvious, is how the battles of the past can stay dormant within us from generation to generation, flaring up in moments of perceived threat. And so, whether we are conscious of this or not, we may be reliving the trauma of our parents, grandparents or even long dead ancestors.
At the beginning of the civil war in Lebanon, Alexandra Asseily asked herself the question – how could so many people have suddenly transformed from apparently peaceful souls into violent killers – seemingly overnight? Holding this question led to a profound experience. This confirmed her understanding of how the events of a traumatic past are held in memory and deeply affect the present unless the contract between the living and the dead is released through compassion and forgiveness.
The essence of this experience inspired a vision for the Garden of Forgiveness. This was to be a garden sanctuary set in heart of central Beirut, amidst archaeology spanning 3,000 years and surrounded by three churches, three mosques and a shrine to the Virgin Mary – venerated by both traditions. It was to be accessible to people of all backgrounds for peaceful introspection and meditation. The Garden of Forgiveness was realised in 1998 and everything was in place for completion with a due date of 2008. As a result, however, of the violent events of 2005-6, all building came to a halt. The subsequent political stalemate has meant that it has remained in a vacuum ever since.
In order to raise consciousness for this project and the trans-generational message of healing at the heart of it, a conference was organised in LAU Byblos in November 2011 – entitled Healing the Wounds of History, Address the Roots of Violence. A programme of workshops was run throughout 2012-13 building on the approaches and themes raised at the Byblos conference. These, in turn, evolved into the HWH programme.
Facing the tragedy of recent events in the region alone, we naturally feel powerless and overwhelmed. However, by coming together in community we can support each other's healing journey and begin to release our inherited trauma. By doing this, we can take our place amongst kindred spirits and contribute to the evolution of a positive, peaceful future.
The HWH program has been developed to help to heal the deeper roots of violence. The causes of violence are rooted in recent but also older and even ancient historical grievances, memories and traumas. These psychological roots draw on perceived injustices, and become the sources of violence, especially in acute times of crisis, fear and threat. These driving forces usually remain unexamined. By unfolding and deconstructing them, individuals can begin to understand where many prejudices and impulses for violence against the other are held. The HWH training is concerned with unearthing these deeply rooted identities so that we can begin to reframe/rethink the "self", humanize the other and improve relationships. To develop capacities at the individual level, helps collective action and peace-building efforts at the group level. This important work then actively supports political, social, economic, and civil endeavours.
The Objectives
To create a community of change agents, field workers and practitioners, who, after appropriate training, are empowered to take and apply the approaches and the powerful content of HWH training into their respective practices within communities in Lebanon. This group will develop themselves individually first and then collectively through experiential learning. This will be done through a mixture of formal training, self facilitated practice sessions and application in the field. To enable this to happen, participants from last year's programme will receive an additional facilitation training by assisting in the teaching of the following year. This principle can be extended over time, so that the community grows in number, competency and compassion.
The intention is to offer training to teachers, trainers and NGO workers. It is an opportunity to learn change processes by having a direct, personal experience. Beyond this it is hoped that the tools taught will be disseminated as widely as possible in the spirit of healing, reconciliation and forgiveness. The material taught will be experiential and replicable. We shall share and teach tools from a wide range of wisdom traditions: including the world of personal development, the human potential movement and other sources. These tools help to take their users through an effective change process: from awareness to expression to forgiveness and finally to new behaviour.
The training package will also include written material designed to support the application of the tools and processes taught in the various contexts that attendants work in. As part of the training, participants will receive written step by step guidelines on how to apply the various tools.

A list of 112 words by pterodactyl.
Words whose last and third-to-last letters are both "e".
ə¿ə -- bravo, skipvia! Your prowess with non-standard characters is truly impressive.
And I thank you on behalf of my neck, which will no longer have to suffer such indignities in the name of gremlin-summoning.
You know, it kind of looks like a character from Doonesbury.
Why not write it ə¿ə and avoid having to turn your computer (or yourself) upside down?
They have a name: Henohenomoheji!
Why, you're right--it does look like a bulbous-nosed gremlin out of the cathode ray depths!
Ha! It reminds me a face entirely made of kana (the Japanese syllabic script) that Rumiko Takahashi sometimes draws in her manga.
I'm trying out the question mark in the title, and I find that if I rotate my screen 180 degrees, the list's new title looks like a cartoony face drawn in three-quarters angle.
Maybe a question mark for one and an asterisk for the other? That's how I've seen a few word-search sites make the distinction.
Sure, eye is fine. Add away, my friend!
As for the asterisk, the truth is I couldn't figure out a simple way to distinguish between "any one character" (which is what the second asterisk means) and "any character or characters, or no character" (which is what the first asterisk means).
I think I just missed an opportunity to use the word antipenultimate.

Epidemiological studies show an association between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and periodontal disease. Porphyromonas gingivalis (P.gingivalis) is a well-known pathogen in periodontitis. This study investigated the pathogenic effects of P.gingivalis on autoimmune arthritis in vivo. Collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mice were intraperitoneally injected with W83 and 2561 strains of P.gingivalis. Infection with P.gingivalis exacerbated arthritis score in CIA mice. Synovial inflammation and bone destruction in CIA mice infected with P.gingivalis were more severe than in uninfected CIA mice. Both W83 and 2561 strains were more pro-arthritic after arthritis symptom was fully activated. Interestingly, only W83 strain was arthritogenic before autoimmune reaction initiated. Citrullination was detected in synovial tissue of CIA mice and CIA mice inoculated with P.gingivalis, but not in normal control mice. The citrullinated area was greater in P.gingivalis-infected CIA mice than in non-infected CIA mice. This study showed that P.gingivalis exacerbated disease in a mouse model of autoimmune arthritis and increased the expression of citrullinated antigens in the synovium. The arthritogenic effects of P.gingivalis were at least in part, dependent upon the bacterial strain with or without fimbriae expression, route and time of infection. P.gingivalis-mediated citrullination may explain the possible link between periodontal disease and RA.
Effects of P.gingivalis on severity of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA).
(A) Two P.gingivalis strains (W83 and 2561) were injected intraperitoneally into mice twice per week, starting either 1 week before the first immunization with collagen (Pre-infection group) or immediately after the second booster immunization (Post-infection group). Arthritis score of (B) pre-infected group and (C) post-infected group is shown. Arthritis scores were evaluated twice per week throughout the experimental period. The score for each paw ranged from 0 (no swelling) to 4 (erythema and severe swelling encompassing the ankle and foot); the scores for all four paws were summed to generate a representative arthritis score. Data represent the mean arthritis score (± standard error of the mean; SEM). ** P < 0.05 Pre-infection with W83 versus non-infected CIA; *** P < 0.01 Post-infection with W83 versus non-infected CIA; †† P < 0.05 Post-infection with 2561 versus non-infected CIA; ††† P < 0.01 Post-infection with 2561 versus non-infected CIA. (D) Representative images of front paws and hind paws from mice in each group.

Histological analysis and osteoclastogenesis of arthritic joints from CIA mice infected with P.gingivalis.
(A) Histological analysis of joints in the hind paws of animals from each group. Tissue sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin, safranin O, and toluidine blue. Scale bars: 200 μm. (B) Inflammation scores and (C) joint destruction scores were calculated. Histological scores were evaluated by three independent observers in a blinded manner and expressed as the mean ± SEM (*p<0.05, **p<0.01, and ***p<0.001). (D) Osteoclastogenesis in synovial tissues was determined by staining with tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP). Scale bar: 200 μm. (E) Area occupied by TRAP-positive osteoclasts. (F) TRAP-positive osteoclasts with multinucleated cells were counted using an automated system for quantitative image analysis. Data represent the mean of three independent counts (± SEM). *P < 0.05.
Expression of citrullinated peptides in the arthritic joints of mice with collagen-induced arthritis (CIA).
An anti-citrullinated peptide antibody was produced by a hybridoma cell line derived by fusing myeloma cells with B cells from mice immunized with cyclic citrullinated peptide. (A) Immunohistochemical staining to confirm the presence of citrullinated peptides in the joints of normal control (NC) mice, non-infected CIA mice, and Post-infected CIA mice (n = 5 per group). The bottom row shows magnifications of the boxed areas. Scale bars: 200 μm. (B) Citrullinated regions were examined by quantitative image analysis. The fold increase in the size of the citrullinated area was then calculated relative to the same area in NC mice. Data represent the mean of three independent experiments (± standard error of the mean). *** P <0.001.
Citrullinated vimentin and fibronectin in synovial tissues of mice with collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) post-infected with P.gingivalis.
(A) Immunohistochemical staining for vimentin, enolase, and fibronectin which are known to be prone to citrullination in the arthritic joints of CIA mice Post-infected with P.gingivalis (n = 3). The number of (B) vimentin-, (C) fibronectin-, and (D) enolase- positive cells was counted. The co-localization of citrulline with (E) vimentin and (F) fibronectin was confirmed. Data represent the mean ± SEM of three independent counts. ***p<0.001.

TEHRAN, May 17, YJC - South Korea's newly-elected President Moon Jae-in has warned of a "high possibility" of conflict with North Korea amid the latter's rapidly advancing missile and military nuclear programs.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - "The reality is that there is a high possibility of a military conflict at the NLL (Northern Limit Line) and military demarcation line," Moon said during a visit to the country's Defense Ministry on Wednesday.
"We are living in the reality where there is a high possibility of military clashes" along the disputed sea border off the Koreas' west coast or along the heavily-fortified land frontier that divides them, Moon further said.
The remarks come amid increased tensions between the United States and certain regional countries on the one side and North Korea on the other.
The North Korean missile and military nuclear programs have concerned the US. And the American military presence in the region and constant threats of an invasion of North Korea have concerned Pyongyang.
The remarks also came just days after Moon declared his willingness to work for peace with North Korea following his inauguration as president. He has been known as an advocate of engagement with Pyongyang.
Also on Wednesday, South Korea's unification ministry said that the country's basic position was that communication lines with Pyongyang had to open, as President Moon sought a two-track policy, involving sanctions and dialog with Pyongyang.
The ministry's spokesman, Lee Duk-haeng, also said during a press briefing that authorities from the South go to the Panmunjom communications office at the border between the two Koreas on a regular basis to make daily checks for possible responses from the North.
According to Lee, communication channels between the two Koreas were severed by Pyongyang after February 2016, in the wake of sanctions over the North's last nuclear test and its decision to shut down a joint industrial zone that operated inside North Korea.

Political Coalitions in Malaysia: Fluid, Fleeting and Fickle
Published 8 Nov 2021
Francis E. Hutchinson
Despite being part of the same coalition as the United Malays National Organisation at the national level, Parti Islam Se-Malaysia is contesting against the grand old party in the upcoming state elections in Malacca. This might well reflect a new normal in the country's politics.
Last week, more than an eyebrow or two was raised when Hadi Awang, the President of Parti Islam Se-Malaysia (PAS), decided not to contest the upcoming Malacca state election alongside its formal alliance partner, the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO). Instead, the party will run with former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin's party, Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu), under another coalition, Perikatan Nasional (PN).
This has led some to question the Islamist party's strategic capabilities, in particular its penchant for drifting into, and out of, various coalitions. Back in 2019, PAS formed a political coalition, Muafakat Nasional (MN), with UMNO to promote Malay and Muslim issues. Forged in the wake of Pakatan Harapan's (PH's) victory in the 2018 general election, MN was aimed squarely at winning over peninsular Malaysia's 117 Malay-majority parliamentary constituencies. Following PH's fall from power in 2020, the Islamist party has been a component of, first the Muhyiddin Yassin, and then the Ismail Sabri administrations. Thanks to PAS's support for UMNO's Ismail Sabri in August this year, the Islamist party was able to secure the highly-coveted Religious Affairs portfolio for the first time in the country's history.
What's more, Malacca is an UMNO stronghold. In 2018, which was UMNO and Barisan Nasional's (BN's) worst showing ever, Malaysia's grand old party won 13 seats single-handedly — only two short of a majority in the state assembly. The burning issues of that year — the 1MDB scandal and the imposition of the General Sales Tax — have largely subsided. This means that UMNO is likely to secure more seats this time around. In contrast, Malacca has proved to be inhospitable terrain for PAS. Over the past four elections, the Islamic party has fielded dozens of candidates and secured only a single seat, Bukit Baru, in 2013 with a slender 48-vote majority. In 2018, PAS candidates ran in 20 seats and won none. Consequently, many pundits contend that the Islamic party would be better served by hitching on to the MN bandwagon and coasting to success on UMNO's coattails.
However, long thirsting for national office and keen to break new ground in the Peninsula's south, PAS's leadership sees things differently. Indeed, arguably the party has nothing to lose and more than a little leverage to gain with this decision. Given the ruling coalition's razor thin majority in parliament, any talk of PAS's contingent of 18 MPs withdrawing its support would unleash gusts of instability and rumours of floor-crossing. Consequently, PAS can comfortably contemplate running against UMNO in Malacca but still enjoy the benefits of cabinet positions in a coalition government dominated by UMNO.
Looking beyond this election, it is far better for PAS to maintain a third player in any arrangement with UMNO — lest it be smothered by the uber-demanding (and formerly dominant) party.
Second, given UMNO's dominance in Malacca, PAS would assuredly be allocated a nominal number of seats out of its comfort zone. A look where PAS ran in 2018 shows that its best performance was in seats where more than 70 per cent of voters are Malay — incidentally, these were the same seats which UMNO won. And, as seen in its frequently-stalled negotiations with Bersatu, UMNO is a stickler for retaining control over seats it has won in the past.
Also, while many say that three-way contests benefit PH, who is to say that PAS would not also benefit from disenchantment with both UMNO and PH and secure a seat or two this time around? While PAS's wins in the state have been paltry, it has fielded at least 10 candidates in each election since 2004, with 2018 being its most ambitious gambit yet. Consequently, the party has developed a grass-roots network of consequence as well as a corps of aspiring candidates.
This strategy enables PAS's new best friend, Bersatu, a little while longer before it goes gently into that good night. This latter party has very little presence on the ground in Malacca, campaigning there for the first time in 2018 and securing but two seats – under the PH banner. Given its bigger membership base and deeper candidate pool, the Islamist party is clearly the dominant partner in the relationship. Looking beyond this election, it is far better for PAS to maintain a third player in any arrangement with UMNO — lest it be smothered by the uber-demanding (and formerly dominant) party.
Last, in the event that UMNO secures a narrow majority or, even better, is just shy of one, and PAS (or Bersatu) is able to contribute a seat or three, all parties would let bygones be bygones in the name of securing power. And, perhaps PAS would be able to wring a position or two in the state cabinet in the process. Thus, from the party's point of view, what's not to like about the possibilities of running against UMNO?
Gone are the days of stable coalitions sitting atop unassailable parliamentary majorities that are, in turn, replicated at the state level. In a context where UMNO and BN are divided, parliamentary and state majorities sit on a knife edge, and state elections are starting to run on different schedules. The PAS move might well engender a new normal. Politics in Malaysia has become increasingly fluid and alliances more fickle and fleeting.

Q: $.ajaxSetup change response $.post When I make an ajax call with $.post, I want to have some base settings already set so I do not need to put it in my code every time I want to use $.post.
I've done this like this:
$.ajaxSetup({
    dataType    :"json", // all requests should respond with json string by default
    type        : "POST", // all request should POST by default
    beforeSend  : function(){
        this.url = basepath+"include/ajax/"+this.url; // before making the request, change url location to ajax folder
    },
    error       : function(xhr, textStatus, errorThrown){
        displayMessage("error", "Request could not be completed:
"+errorThrown+"
", true);
    },
    success : function(event){
    console.log(event);
        if(event.responseJSON !== undefined && event.responseJSON.status !== undefined && event.responseJSON.status === true){
            if(event.responseJSON.output === undefined){
                console.log("something is wrong 1");
                displayMessage("error", "Property output was not found in response.");
            }
            else{
                event.responseJSON.status = false;
                console.log("something is wrong 2");
            }
        }
        else{
            console.log("something is wrong 3");
        }
    },
    done    : function(){
        console.log("done");
    },
    always  : function(){
        console.log("always");
    }
});

I make my $.post like this:
$("div#brandsView button.compose").click(function(e){
    $.post("brands.php",{method:"composeMessage",data:{brand:brandId}},function(data){
        console.log(data)
    })
});

Now I'm running into a problem:
I want to alter the response from "brands.php" in $.ajaxSetup before it comes to $.post. As you can see, I've tried to functions like success and complete, but those won't alter the result in $.post.
Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so, how to do so?
Best regards,
Chris

A: The success handler in your $.post overrides the one in your $.ajaxSetup. You should extract the success handler definition from your ajaxSetup :
function handleSuccess(event){
    console.log(event);
        if(event.responseJSON !== undefined && event.responseJSON.status !== undefined && event.responseJSON.status === true){
            if(event.responseJSON.output === undefined){
                console.log("something is wrong 1");
                displayMessage("error", "Property output was not found in response.");
            }
            else{
                event.responseJSON.status = false;
                console.log("something is wrong 2");
            }
        }
        else{
            console.log("something is wrong 3");
        }
    }

then have your $.ajaxSetup like this :
$.ajaxSetup({
    dataType    :"json", // all requests should respond with json string by default
    type        : "POST", // all request should POST by default
    beforeSend  : function(){
        this.url = basepath+"include/ajax/"+this.url; // before making the request, change url location to ajax folder
    },
    error       : function(xhr, textStatus, errorThrown){
        displayMessage("error", "Request could not be completed:
"+errorThrown+"
", true);
    },
    success : handleSuccess,
    done    : function(){
        console.log("done");
    },
    always  : function(){
        console.log("always");
    }
});

then have your $.post like this :
$.post("brands.php",{method:"composeMessage",data:{brand:brandId}},function(data){
        handleSuccess(data);
        console.log(data);
    })

winning prizes | How Lucky Can Anybody Be?
Relics from a bygone era. Treasures from decades past. Whatever you call them, we have become a culture obsessed with all things vintage. I am an unapologetic member of this culture; an aging hipster who still gleefully snaps up Don Ho vinyl records, Pyrex bowls, and English bone china teacups. Thus, I was very happy to have won a Royal Stafford June Roses teacup and saucer, as well as a Robert Gordon tea infuser from Liv Lovely, an exhibitor at the vintage fair I attended yesterday, Town and Country Vintage Market.
In the case of the teacup and saucer I won yesterday, my online research indicates that they were probably manufactured in the 1950s, and they definitely came from England. All it takes is this nugget of knowledge and I'm picturing a young lady sipping tea with her family and watching Queen Elizabeth II's coronation.
Another theory I have about my own, and indeed others', love of vintage is that it centers on the longing for a different kind of reality. Now, I'm not suggesting that I don't want to live in 2016. I certainly appreciate 21st century medical care, for example. No, it's just a temporary escape that I seek. Vintage items give this kind of escape an authenticity. I used to watch Mad Men while sipping the same kind of cocktail as Joan out of my 1960s tiki mug, for example. For a little while, I didn't have to keep checking my phone for messages or type on my laptop. Instead, I could imagine a time where it was really possible to go off the grid.
From a practical point of view, adopting vintage items, rather than buying new ones makes a lot of sense. And I think that is primarily why Generation Y likes to go junking, engage in upcycling, etc. They see how much stuff there is and wonder if we really need to go on making more of it. As a 1980s kid, I remember this extreme consumerism at its height. From the huge gas-guzzling Oldsmobiles to shows like Dallas and Dynasty, the message to Gen-Xers like me was, "Make money and buy as much as you can!" Not surprisingly, this hasn't made us the happiest generation on the planet. Now approaching middle age, I think many Gen-Xers look back at the 80s and shake our heads. This new appreciation for all things old and the desire to make them functional in a modern world is definitely a more positive path.
So, this is my first win of 2016! It's been a bit of a slow year for prizes so far, but again part of that is due to my own focus on career and school. It is difficult to estimate what this prize is worth. The other teacups and saucers being sold by the exhibitor were priced at $15, which seemed very reasonable to me, given that I saw prices going up to $100 online for the same cup and saucer I won. The tea infuser is a contemporary piece that is vintage-inspired and retails for about $15 as well in Australia. Consequently, I'm going to estimate this prize's value at $30. I hope to write again soon about another great win!
