We're on the road south to visit interior decorators, furniture galleries and specialty boutiques we think will be a good fit for Paola Pillows.
Yesterday, we were in Charleston. Today, we arrived in Savannah. It's spring here! The azaleas are in bloom and the grass is green. I can't wait to return home to Connecticut to discover our own lawn once again. Well, soon, I hope. I heard it's snowing again so it may take a little while.
Rushad and Tina are a pair of incredibly dynamic musicians who studied the classics and branched off into creating individual and very diverse careers. Here's Tina playing Bach: http://youtu.be/yqOawrB4jwI Awesome. She's also performed for intensely varied venues including motion pictures, television, and game scores. Rushad is an equally astute improvisational cellist and singer. He leads, produces, and tours nationally with band, Tornado Rider, based in Oakland, CA. A genuine wild man.
But why this interest in these people? I was raised with classical music and the opera almost exclusively and from numerous performances at the university where my Dad taught. My training in the visual arts also included myriad studies of great painters and sculptors from history. That said, I'm 200% committed to bringing my own art forward and applying it in a totally unique way onto home goods- like pillows we live with every day. Art made practical as it touches everyday life.
I hope every artist pushes the envelope of his or her training to perfect his/her expressive work as a medium for relating to others.

US-led coalition targets IS oil facilities in eastern Syria

LONDON >> British Tornado jets struck oil fields in eastern Syria on Thursday that help finance the Islamic State group and Germany prepared to send reconnaissance aircraft to the Middle East as coalition forces stepped up efforts to fight the militants.
The strikes at the Omar oil field came only hours after Britain's Parliament authorized military action in Syria against IS. Although several of the oil fields have already been hit by the U.S.-led coalition, Britain chose a target with low risk of collateral damage for its first strike in Syria.
"This strikes a very real blow at the oil and the revenue on which the Daesh terrorists depend," Defense Secretary Michael Fallon told the BBC, using the Arab acronym for IS.
The Ministry of Defense described the airstrikes as successful.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, meanwhile, again accused Turkey of profiting from an oil trade with IS. "We know who in Turkey are filling their pockets and allowing terrorists to earn money by selling oil stolen from Syria," he said in his annual state of the nation address.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has denied the allegations.
Fallon confirmed that eight more jets were on their way to Britain's base in Cyprus to join the attacks and warned that military action against IS could continue for years, not months.
Other allies also moved to get equipment into place as the buildup gained momentum. Germany's government said it planned to send up to six Tornado reconnaissance planes, tanker aircraft and a frigate to help protect the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle in the eastern Mediterranean, but won't actively engage in combat.
In all, up to 1,200 German soldiers would be deployed to support the international coalition fighting the Islamic State group. Two Tornados and a tanker could be sent to Turkey's Incirlik air base next week if the German Parliament approves the mission Friday as expected.
The bulk of German troops and planes likely won't arrive in the region until next month.
German Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen said the mission would have three components: to protect the French naval operations, to provide intelligence though the reconnaissance aircraft and satellite observation, and to offer logistical support like in-air refueling for allied planes.
"The goal... is to fight and contain IS, and destroy their safe havens and their ability to lead worldwide terror operations," she told reporters in Berlin before heading to Ankara for talks with her Turkish counterpart.
Providing the German assistance is approved by Parliament on Friday as expected, the frigate and Tornados are expected to be in place within the coming week, but won't reach full operating capability until January.
France welcomed the first British airstrikes in Syria, saying they are a sign of the European solidarity promised after the deadly Nov. 13 attacks on Paris claimed by IS militants.
In a statement Thursday, French President Francois Hollande said the British vote to begin airstrikes in Syria and the upcoming German vote were a sign that Europeans would stand together after IS attacks that killed 130 people and left hundreds wounded in Paris.
French fighter jets joined the U.S.-led coalition against Islamic State extremists in Iraq in 2014 and expanded their mission to IS targets in Syria in September.
European officials at an Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe conference in Belgrade said Thursday that only a joint global response can be effective in countering the threat of terrorism.
German Foreign Minister Frank Walter Steinmeier called for unity, saying "the situation is too dangerous, and freedom and stability too fragile, for us to counter each other." He was apparently referring to the spat caused by the downing of a Russian plane by Turkey. Foreign ministers from the two countries are to meet in Belgrade later Thursday for the first time since the incident.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov were also attending the meeting.

Need to ramp up the exercising
I've been working more but have been exercising less as a result. not as many walkas around the block. It doesn't help that Maddie's not around (up with Rene & her bf in the No Shore) to motivate me!
Let's say that starting tomorrow, I add another minimum half mile walk into my regimen. And I have to report here to say I've done it. As far as eating right and stuff, i'm coming back to that and well. Let's try to remember yesterday and put that up in the next post, shall we?

What Is the Difference Between an Epithet and a Kenning?
Differentiating Between Epithets and Kennings Okay, let's try to differentiate between Epithets and Kennings. It's tough when this stuff is so similar! I'll provide the standard literary definitions of the two terms, give some common examples, discuss the nuanced differences, and then do an exercise myself!
What is an Epithet (in the literary sense)? Epithet (plural epithets) - the "literary" epithet definitions are as follows:
1. A term used to characterize a person or thing. The adjective "Terrible" in Ivan the Terrible.2. A term used as a descriptivesubstitute for the name or title of a person. The Young Pretender for Charles Edward Stuart.
What is a Kenning? Kenning (plural, kennings) is similar - a kenning is a kind of epithet, like a simile is a kind of metaphor; I'd say the difference is in directness.
Kenning- use of a roundabout phrase for a common thing, eg 'whale's land' for 'sea'. It was very common in Anglo-Saxon vers…
Suggested Names for Those Who Are Not a Millennial but Not Quite Gen X
What Do You Call the People Who Are in Gen X/Millennial Label Limbo? This graphic up there puts my age group squarely in Millennial, but there are a lot who put me as a young Gen-Xer.
I don't feel like I fully belong in either! There've been some fun-to-read pieces on this "microgeneration" who sit on the cusp of either Gen X or Millennial, and interesting monikers for us, too.
"Generation Jordan Catalano" is one, in reference to the short-lived but much beloved TV series "My So-Called Life" starring Claire Danes. So beloved, I think, because it captures that time period for those who were in high school/middle school during the height of the Alternative Music Grunge Era. Gen X is the most "Existential Crisis" of Generations. To be a teenager during the hey day of such malaise among the people slightly older than you is to double down on the Existential Crisis that is Teenagerhood. MSCL captured that "ugh"-ness of the time an…
Pertinent Question: Is Grimace Black? - A Contemplation Prompted by the TV Show Pysch
The Quirky Conversations of Psych: Is McDonald's Grimace Black?
I was watching Pysch on Demand tonight (whoo hoo exciting Saturday!) and Shawn and Gus were debating on the race of Grimace.
Gus insisted that Grimace was "a brother." Shawn said, "I'll give you Vin Diesel. But Grimace? No." Later in the episode, Gus declared that Grimace's name was "Grimace T. Jackson" thus proving he is black.
So fricken funny. I LOVE that show.
Research: So, What IS Grimace???
I googled "grimace is black" and got to this site, which was hilarious. Even the comments were awesome: http://www.gunaxin.com/what-is-grimace/11120

Q: IOS: verify an empty NSHomeDirectory can I verify if inside my folder "Documents" in NSHomeDirectory are there or not at least 1 file?
NSError *error;
NSFileManager *fileMgr = [NSFileManager defaultManager];

// Point to Document directory
NSString *documentsDirectory = [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Documents"];

// Write out the contents of home directory to console
NSLog(@"Documents directory: %@", [fileMgr contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:documentsDirectory error:&error]);

A: Sure!
NSFileManager's contentsOfDirectoryAtPath: error: method returns an array.
If it's an array with a count of zero, it's an empty directory.
If it returns an error, then the directory doesn't exist (or you passed in the path wrong).

When people get into a discussion about what witchcraft is, they often referred to what is called Wicca. This is a pagan belief system, one that was developed in England in the early 20th century, and was introduced to the general public by Gerald Gardner. On a basic level, it was created by borrowing hermetic motifs. This helped create the theological structure of this pagan religious movement, as well as helped develop the ritual practices that Wiccan practitioners use every day. Let's discuss Wicca in more detail, and also show you how it actually works.
Wicca is recognized as a religion, but it is very different from traditional Christian religious beliefs. It is an earth centered religion, one that believes in Gaia, and various gods and goddesses that are in some way responsible for the world and universe around us. There are some that would equate Wicca with Satanism because of their use of the pentagram. However, this symbol is not representative of satanic thoughts or beliefs, but is representative of the earth itself. Wiccans often worship the Goddess, and they follow and promote moral relativity. They simply follow what is called the Rede, a philosophy that tells us that we can do whatever we want as long as it does not harm others. Wicca also reveres the four elements, and understands that celestial bodies have an effect on our lives. Our goal is to live in harmony with nature, allowing us to access universal energy. Finally, they celebrate the cycles of the sun, moon and also the seasons. Their goal is freedom, and to achieve a life that is full of balance, it involves these beliefs and the use of witchcraft.
Wicca is a belief system that understands that our thoughts and intentions are things. Whatever we focus upon can manifest in the material world. That is why they will practice certain types of magic such as sympathetic magic when casting spells. If you have something that belongs to another person, you can attune to their vibrational frequency, and help change their life for the better. Wiccans will cast spells which are aided by the pentacle, candles, cauldrons, and wands. By definition, witchcraft is the practice of magic, the use of spells with the intention of effecting a change in the material world. Witchcraft is part of the core beliefs of Wicca, yet it has absolutely nothing to do with black magic. In fact, black magic can never be a part of the life of a Wiccan because of the Law of Three. This law simply states that whatever we send out will return to us threefold, whether it is good or bad. Every action and thought that you have, therefore, becomes a reflection of the life that you live. This is why Wiccans will always be focused on finding balance and harmony, and will avoid negativity at all costs.
Wicca is a way of life, a belief system that embodies the understanding that we are in control of our lives. Through our intentions, and the use of spells, it is possible to mold our life by utilizing the power of the earth itself. Wicca is about living a life that does harm to no one. It is about living in harmony with nature, and those around us, fully aware that we live in a world where magic can be used to mold our lives.

Q: Insert a DateObject into MySQL database? I want to use Mathematica to do some SQL tasks like insert. However, I have difficulty in inserting date into SQL. Here is an example.
conn = OpenSQLConnection[
  JDBC["MySQL(Connector/J)", "localhost:3306/dbTest"],
  "Name" -> "dbTest", "Username" -> "mathematica",
  "Password" -> "password"]

SQLInsert[conn, SQLTable["match"], {"id", "time", "home_id"}, {1, Now, 100}]

I got the following error:
JDBC::error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'match (id,season,league_id,time,home_id,away_id,fthg,ftag,hthg,htag) VALUES (1,2' at line 1

I think it's probably because of the date object. I also converted the DateObject into DateString, the same happens.
SQLInsert[conn, SQLTable["match"], {"id", "time", "home_id"},
{1, DateString[Now, {"ISODate", " ", "Time", ".", "Millisecond", "000"}], 100}]

JDBC::error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'match (id,season,league_id,time,home_id,away_id,fthg,ftag,hthg,htag) VALUES (1,2' at line 1

Any ideas?

A: You may use SQLDateTime with DateList.
SQLInsert[conn,
  SQLTable["match"],
  {"id", "time", "home_id"},
  {1, SQLDateTime@DateList[], 100}
]

Hope this helps.

A: As it turns out, DateObject is not the only problem here. I kind of lack in some basic knowledge in SQL. Here are the mistakes I made.

*

*DateObject cannot be passed to SQL. DateString[Now, "ISODate"] was a right approach.

*I shouldn't name my table match, because it is in conflict with the SQL command.

*Column name as is also not allowed. Same reason here.

On this blog we normally give you advices to solve common mistakes in SEO on a webpage. Today we feel generous again and we want to help you with some basic SEO recommendations for an error 404.
Errors 404 occur when a user or search engine tries to access an inexistent webpage or URL. The main reasons for these errors are that the URL does not exist (we wrote the URL wrongly), or it did exist but we have deleted it or we have not redirected it. At this point I will remind you that it is preferable to make a 301 redirect to a similar page than deleting the URL from our domain.
Since it is very easy to generate pages with that HTTP status code, we will now include the key points you have to take into account in terms of usability so as to try to reduce to a minimum the bounce or leaving rate of a user that lands on an error 404. Every user that we keep in our domain will be easier to make loyal.
First of all, the user has to know at any given moment what he/she has found. The user needs an explanation of what happened (i.e. the webpage could not be found, hence the error). A webpage with status code HTTP 404 cannot infer that the user has indeed reached a URL that works fine, because this can be frustrating.
We must keep the Look&Feel of the domain, as on these pages this is something that is not normally done, which can mean that users do not really know whether they are on the website they were looking for or there has been a security problem or of any other kind. For this we recommend including the main menus, footer and all the elements that appear on all the pages of our website.
Encourage the user to navigate the web. The previous point is also important here. The user can find escape ways to the home, categories, footer links, but we can incorporate more elements to improve the usability of this error 404 page: including a search engine to help the user find what he/she was looking for but could not get at first. You can also include links to the main categories or those with more web traffic, or highlight the main URLs in case they are not categories. Both the visibility of the links and including a search engine are weaknesses that should be checked.
As you can see, these optimizations for an error page 404 are not very hard to carry out, but they can be a great measure to hold back a user that has found what he/she was looking for in our website.

Beleaguered Sydney businessman Salim Mehajer has been hit with fresh charges of possessing and supplying prohibited prescription drugs, and perverting the course of justice.
Police allegedly found more than 200 anxiety and painkiller pills - 50 Xanax tablets and 174 Endone and Targin tablets - at the property developer's Lidcombe mansion during a raid on November 8.
The 31-year-old was charged with two counts of possessing and one count of supplying a prohibited drug on Wednesday, along with the new count of perverting the course of justice.
He had been slapped with the same charge in February after he allegedly misled Burwood Local Court during a bail application.
The former Auburn deputy mayor, who has already thrice been denied bail, is due to make a fourth bid on Thursday in the NSW Supreme Court.
Mehajer was expected to appear at Burwood Local Court via video link from prison on Wednesday over allegations he staged a car crash and defrauded an insurance company.
But the court heard that technical and industrial problems prevented the link, so his matter was adjourned to June 6.
Last October Mehajer was on his way to face court on charges over the assault of a taxi driver when his Mercedes collided with another car at an intersection in Lidcombe, allegedly days after he'd insured it for more than $150,000.
Mehajer was freed by firefighters and taken to hospital but his passenger and the two female occupants of the other vehicle were not injured.
Many of his co-accused who are charged with conspiring with each other and Mehajer to cheat and defraud an insurer faced court on Wednesday.
Mehajer's business associate Ahmed Jaghbir, who is under house arrest, appeared in Burwood Local Court alongside Elias Moufferrige, Fakaha Ki Malinda Moufferrige and Nora Anne Bush while lawyers represented Rafi Noori and Michael Moufferrige, the latter being in custody.
Mehajer has already been in court this week as he continues to fight several legal battles.
Less than three years after his lavish western Sydney wedding made headlines, Mehajer on Tuesday faced charges of stalking or intimidating his estranged wife and dangerous driving.
Last week he was declared bankrupt by a Federal Circuit Court judge and he awaits a verdict next month on alleged electoral fraud offences.
Last month Mehajer was found guilty of assaulting a television reporter when he slammed his car door on her arm and earlier this month he was placed on a good behaviour bond for the April 2017 cabbie attack.

Der Buberlesbach ist ein etwas über einen Kilometer langer Bach in Baden-Württemberg im Stuttgarter Ortsteil Botnang.

Namensherkunft

Das Wort Buberles ist von Buberle und das von Buche abgeleitet. Also sollte der Bach Buchenbach heißen. So berichtet es die Botnanger Chronik aus dem Jahre 1920.

Geographie

Verlauf
Der Buberlesbach entsteht in der westlichen Winterhalde zwischen dem Schwarzwildpark bei der Saufangeiche und dem Siedlungsrand Botnangs. Er hat zwei Quellen, die natürliche Bachquelle und den nahe bei ihr künstlich angelegten Buberlesbrunnen. Der Bach speist noch vor dem Waldaustritt den Buberlesweiher und fließt dann durch Botnang, um dort zuletzt verdolt unter der Kauffmannstraße in den ebenfalls verdolten Sommerhaldenbach einzufließen, der danach mit dem rechten Metzgerbach am Ostrand von Botnang zum Feuerbach zusammenläuft.

Einzugsgebiet
Das Einzugsgebiet gehört, naturräumlich gesehen, mit seinen westlichen Teilen zum Unterraum Innerer Glemswald von Schönbuch und Glemswald, der übrige Teil liegt in Unterraum Feuerbachbucht der Stuttgarter Bucht.

Buberlesweiher

Ein vermutlich bereits im 19. Jahrhundert eingerichteter Brunnen wurde 1968 durch einen Erdrutsch zerstört. Anfang der 1970er Jahre entschied man sich zu einer Neufassung der Quellen. Neben der Brunnenanlage (1970) entstand so 1971 die Kneippanlage und wurde auch der Buberlesweiher geschaffen. Der künstlich angelegte, 0,2 ha große See liegt wenig südwestlich von Botnang im Waldgewann Winterhalde. Dieses im Jahre 1970 angelegte Rückhaltebecken staut hinter seinem Erddamm dauerhaft 5.000 m³ Wasser an. Außer zum Schutz vor Hochwasser dient der Buberlesweiher auch dem Natur- und Vogelschutz, zum Schlamm- und Geröllfang und als Fischteich.

Der von Westen kommende Bach durchläuft den Weiher und fließt dann durch Botnang, wo er kurz vor der Mündung einen weiteren, unter 0,1 ha großen Teich speist.

The Postcolonial Rot Spreads Beyond Middle East Studies
How it threatens America's security.
June 14, 2015 by Bruce Thornton Leave a Comment
In theory, Middle East Studies programs are a good idea. One of the biggest impediments to countering modern jihadism has been the lack of historical knowledge about the region and Islam. But even the attention and urgency that followed the terrorist attacks on 9⁄11 have not led to such knowledge. The result has been policies pursued both by Republicans and Democrats that are doomed to fail, as the current chaos in the region attests.
Rather than enlightening citizens and policy-makers, Middle Eastern Studies programs have darkened our understanding. As Martin Kramer documented in his important 2002 study Ivory Towers on Sand, most programs have become purveyors not of knowledge but of ideology. Under the influence of literary critic Edward Said's historically challenged book _Orientalism_––"a work," historian Robert Irwin has written, "of malignant charlatanry, in which it is hard to distinguish honest mistakes from willful misrepresentations"––Middle East Studies programs, Kramer writes, "came under a take-no-prisoners assault, which rejected the idea of objective standards, disguised the vice of politicization as the virtue of commitment, and replaced proficiency with ideology." The ideology, of course, comprised the old Marxist narrative of Western colonial and imperial crimes, a Third Worldism that idealizes the dark-skinned, innocent "other" victimized by Western depredations, and the juvenile romance of revolutionary violence.
Yet Said's baleful influence has not been limited to Middle East Studies programs, one of which has been created at my campus of the California State University, replete with the problems Kramer catalogues. It has insidiously corrupted much of the humanities and social sciences, operating under the innocuous rubric of "postcolonial" studies, which to the unwary suggests a historical rather than an ideological category. Through General Education courses that serve students across the university, and in departments like English that train primary and secondary school teachers, Saidian postcolonial ideology has been shaping the attitudes and presumed knowledge of Islam and the Middle East far beyond the reach of Middle East Studies programs.
Said's dubious argument in Orientalism is that the work of Western scholars on the Middle East embodied "a Western style for dominating, restructuring, and having authority over the Orient," thus creating the intellectual infrastructure for justifying colonialism and imperialism. As such, every European scholar perforce was "a racist, an imperialist, and totally ethnocentric." For social science and humanities departments committed totally to the multiculturalist melodrama of white racism and oppression of the dark-skinned "other," Said's work seemingly provides scholarly bona fides to ideas that are in fact expressive of illiberal grievance politics.
English departments have been particularly vulnerable to Said's work, for he overlaid his bad history with watered down Foucauldian ideas about the relationship of power to discourse. Thus English professors seduced by the poststructuralist theory ascendant in 1978 when Orientalism was published found in that book a seemingly sophisticated theoretical paradigm that shared both poststructuralism's disdain for objectivity and truth, and its "hermeneutics of suspicion," the notion that the apparent meaning of a discourse is a mask for the sinister machinations of power at the expense of the excluded "other."
More important, postcolonialism is a politically activist theory, bound up as it is in the politics of the Middle East, especially the Arab-Israeli conflict. Now English professors could avoid the legitimate charge that poststructuralism, despite its patina of leftist ideology, was in fact an evasion of politics, a "symbolic politics," as historian Russell Jacoby put it, "a replacement for, and a diversion from, the gritty politics of the community and the street." On the contrary, the purveyors of postcolonialism were on the barricades, struggling to liberate Palestinians and other Muslims oppressed by a neo-imperialist America and its puppet Israel. Rather than pampered elitists guaranteed jobs for life, now the professors could fancy themselves freedom fighters and champions of the ex-colonial brown peoples still exploited and oppressed by the capitalist, racist West.
Finally, the dogma of multicultural "diversity" now firmly enshrined in American universities likewise has found Saidian postcolonialism a useful tool for interpreting and teaching literature, one that exposes the Western literary canon's hidden racism and oppression. Moreover, in a university like Fresno State, half of whose students are minorities, a postcolonial perspective can establish a rapport with minority students who are encouraged to interpret their own experiences through the same lens of unjust exclusion and hurtful distortions of their culture and identity. At the same time white students are schooled in their privilege and guilt, minorities can be comforted by a narrative that privileges them as victims of historical oppression, one masked by the unearned prestige of the classics written by "dead white males." Now minority students learn that Shakespeare's Caliban is the true hero the Tempest with whom they should identify, the displaced victim of rapacious colonialists and slavers like Prospero who unjustly define the indigenous peoples as savages and cannibals in order to justify the brutal appropriation of their lands and labor.
Over the thirty years I have taught in the California State University, I have seen this transformation of the English department. Reading lists dominated by contemporary ethnic writers are increasingly displacing the classics of English literature, and even when traditional works are on the list, the books are often taught from the postcolonial perspective. New hires more and more comprise those Ph.D.'s whose specialties lie in ethnic or "world" literature, replacing the Shakespeare scholars and others trained to teach the traditional English and American literary canon. The traditional content of a liberal education––"the best which has been thought and said in the world," as Matthew Arnold wrote––is disappearing, replaced by multicultural melodramas of Western crime and guilt.
More important for the culture at large, many of these students will go on to earn teaching credentials and staff public schools. They will carry the postcolonial ideology into their own classrooms, influencing yet another generation and reinforcing a received wisdom that will shape their students' understanding of the important threats to our national security and interests emanating from the Middle East, especially jihadism. And it will encourage ordinary citizens to assent to the demonization of our most valuable regional ally, Israel, currently battling the Boycott, Divest, and Sanction movement that can more easily gain traction among those who from grade school to university have been exposed to the postcolonial ideology.
The damage done to our foreign policy by Middle East Studies is obvious. The influence of the godfather of such programs, Edward Said, on the social sciences and humanities departments like English is more insidious and subtle. But it is no less dangerous.

What is website development?
Website development refers to the work that goes into building a website. This could apply to anything from creating a single plain-text webpage to developing a complex web application or social network.
While web development typically refers to web markup and coding, it includes all related development tasks, such as client-side scripting, server-side scripting, server and network security configuration, ecommerce development, and content management system (CMS) development.
How does a website work? – Strydom Web Development
A website is a collection of connected web pages, each constructed from computer code, and maintained together under a unique domain name. A web page is essentially a document. The page can be viewed and/or interacted with through a standard web browser (such as Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer, Safari, etc.), accessed either from search engine results pages, links on the website home page or other connected pages, or directly through a web address.
At the same time, a website is also a series of requests and responses. HTTP (as designated in your browser address) is a stateless protocol that allows users to send specific requests and receive responses, which does not actually have to be in the form of a webpage. This request response model is what has made the proliferation of RESTful web APIs possible.
To access a website, you first need to be able to access its IP address. This address makes it possible for users to distinguish between the literal billions of connected devices that make up the internet, and also allows those devices to accurately exchange digital information between themselves.
What is a website?
Websites are files stored on servers, which are computers that host (fancy term for "store files for") websites. These servers are connected to a giant network called the internet … or the World Wide Web (if we're sticking with 90s terminology). We talk more about servers in the next section.
Browsers are computer programs that load the websites via your internet connection, such as Google Chrome or Internet Explorer. Your computer is also known as the client.
Content Management Systems – Strydom Web Development
Before we go further, recognize that a content management system isn't strictly necessary. CMS is most useful for blogging and e-Commerce, but a modern web application usually won't need one. Javascript frameworks make it easy to coordinate code and markup to keep your app concise and organized, and the right backend databases in conjunction with reliable web apps generally eliminate the need for CMS.
Still, CMS options are available, and some beginning developers do enjoy the shortcuts these options provide, while still allowing them to retain direct code access and hosting over their site (which are not options when using site builders).
Essentially, CMS solutions offer a selection of plugins and addons that you can combine to create a working product. To put it even more simply, CMS gives you the building blocks, but you create the structure. The CMS options themselves are often coded in PHP, SQL, or one of the other popular coding languages, so having some experience with those languages is still an advantage.
WordPress – Strydom Web Design
WordPress is probably the most widely adopted CMS, and for good reason. It's quick to install, automatically updates and performs maintenance entirely through the back end (meaning that users don't have to manually download and install any files), its user interface is intuitive and streamlined, and it includes a WYSIWYG editor and built-in multimedia support options.
Magento – Strydom Web Design
Exclusively built for ecommerce sites, Magento is most well known as a flexible, scalable CMS option featuring an array of built-in tools and extensions. Magento is open source, and offers a Community Edition that is completely free to use, making it a very appealing option for small and medium sized businesses. Magento is scalable, incorporates SEO-friendly extensions, and is supremely customizable.
Drupal – Strydom Web Design
While Drupal CMS requires a certain amount of expertise to use effectively, it is also perhaps the best coding language to learn for users who wish to create highly advanced sites. Drupal is known for its ability to tag, categorize, and organize complex content, and is most effective for advanced users who want to build complex, versatile pages that incorporate complicated data.
Joomla – Strydom Web Design
Not nearly as complex as Drupal, but still a bit less beginner-oriented than WordPress, Joomla is relatively uncomplicated to setup and use, but still allows users to build moderately advanced sites. Joomla is heavily social focused, and is designed to operate as a community platform, supporting sites for e-commerce and social networking, along with more traditional options.
What is coding?
Coding refers to writing code for servers and applications. It's called a "language" because it's comprised of vocabulary and grammatical rules for communicating with computers. They also include special commands, abbreviations, and punctuation that can only be read by devices and programs.
In a sense, developers are translators, too.
All software is written by at least one coding language, but they all vary based on platform, operating system, and style. There are many different types of coding languages … all of which fall into two categories (written by two different types of developers) — front-end and backend.
What is the front-end?
Front-end (or client-side) is the side of a website or software that you see and interact with as an internet user. When website information is transferred from a server to a browser, front-end coding languages allow the website to function without having to continually "communicate" with the internet.
Front-end code allows users like you and me to interact with a website and play videos, expand or minimize images, highlight text, and more. Web developers who work on front-end coding work on client-side development.
We'll unpack more about front-end development in the next section.
What is the backend? – Strydom Web Design
Backend (or server-side) is the side that you don't see when you use the internet. It's the digital infrastructure, and to non-developers, it looks like a bunch of numbers, letters, and symbols.
There are more backend coding languages than front-end languages. That's because of browsers — at the front-end — only understand JavaScript, but a server — at the backend — can be configured to understand (pretty much) any language. We'll cover more about backend development next.
Web programming languages
JavaScript – Strydom Web Development
Despite its name, this dynamic, object-oriented scripting language has nothing to do with Java, apart from them both being based on C. In 1995, Netscape developed JavaScript, originally called LiveScript, with the goal of expanding HTML and CSS to enable programmers to evaluate user interactions and dynamically display content. Today, JavaScript is not just used for web browsers but also for micro-controllers and servers. The name JavaScript was chosen merely because of Java's popularity. At the time, people wanted to be associated with it. This was a great success. Today, almost all the most popular websites use JavaScript as their programming language of choice on the client side. Additionally, JavaScript has extensive frameworks and libraries.
This programming language is dynamically typed and classless. It gives programmers the choice of object-oriented, procedural, or functional programming, making it a highly versatile programming language. This is especially apparent in web browsers. For example, JavaScript can be used to dynamically change websites, validate form entries even before they are sent to the target server, switch dialog boxes as well as integrate scripts for downloading and uploading. JavaScript has also become an essential tool for online marketing, as many advertisements are programmed with it. This language can also be used to read and write cookies, which makes modern marketing strategies such as targeting possible. In short, JavaScript has helped shape the modern internet and is an integral part of today's web browsing experience.
PHP – Strydom Web Design
Hypertext Preprocessor, better known under the old acronym PHP, is a scripting language based on C and Perl. It is mainly used for programming dynamic websitesandweb applications. PHP is considered to be beginner-friendly and can be integrated into HTML. Therefore, it is often one of the first languages an aspiring programmer learns. Many website operators still rely on PHP today, even though the language is widely viewed as a bit obsolete. Some of its most important advantages include its broad support for various databases and its efficient integration of internet protocol. PHP has received several updates since its creation and is currently on version 7. This language has an open source license and is available free of charge.
PHP processes the code on the server side, bypassing the web browser's interpretation, which is usually encountered in other popular internet programming languages. This also means that PHP is subject to stateless HTTP and stresses the queried web server much more than programming languages which only send the source code to a dedicated web browser. PHP is also criticized for its weak typing and lack of standardized error-handling functions. However, the fact that many major websites still use PHP is proof of its popularity. Problems can arise, though, if website operators use outdated PHP versions which compromise the security and stability of the website.
Python – Strydom Web Development
Python is known as a high-level programming language and uses compact yet easy to understand code. Python is also easy to type because you do not need to separate blocks of code by using special characters but rather by indenting. This is why the language is considered to be enjoyable to learn and use. You can use it as required either for object-oriented, aspect-oriented, or functional programming. Python is also dynamic and is therefore often used as a scripting language. Python is supported by an active community and is kept up-to-date and relevant by the non-profit Python Software Foundation. This language is freely available and can be used with most current operating systems.
Many popular web services like YouTube and other Google projects are partially based on Python. The video game industry has also embraced this programming language. The same can be said for scientific projects. Python has become highly popular for this purpose primarily because most scientific databases can be easily integrated with the language and because tasks which involve collecting empirical data can be carried out efficiently using it. Python is therefore a particularly important programming language for beginners in these fields. However, it has been criticized for its relatively low execution speed and for how long-winded the definitions of its methods are.
Ruby – Strydom Web Design
Ruby is another high-level programming language. It was developed in the mid-1990s by Yukihiro Matsumoto. This purely object-oriented programming language boasts dynamic typing and reflection as well as automatic garbage collection. Ruby's major distinguishing feature is its object-oriented focus in which every value and class is an object. Unlike other object-oriented programming languages, there are no primitive data types in Ruby. To put it briefly, "everything is an object."
Ruby's syntax is conveniently flexible. For example, the use of brackets is often optional. This makes the language easy to read and often makes it look like a markup language. In spite of this, Ruby is very deep and also allows for meta-programming with which programmers can generate methods, modify the inheritance hierarchy and change other constants in the programming language as they see fit. This is why Ruby is considered "easy to learn but hard to master". Critics have voiced concerns about the negative consequences of having typos in program code. In such cases, unexpected run-time errors can lead to tedious debugging sessions. Ruby is often used as a scripting language for web servers but also surprisingly often in the video game industry. This language is available for all current operating systems.
C++ – Strydom Web Development
C++ is based on C, one of the oldest programming languages. The development of this language, which was then thought of as an extension of C, began in 1979, but it was not released to the public until 1985. It is still very popular today. C++ is one of the programming languages with an ISO (International Organization for Standardization) standard. It is also considered to be machine oriented and efficient as well as highly abstractable and complex. C++ is fundamentally easy to learn, especially because the core language is concise using approximately 60 key words. The language becomes more complex and comprehensive through its standard library.
C++'s greatest strengths are its variety of combinations and its efficient machine-oriented programming. This allows highly complex processes to be integrated into basic functions. As a result, C++ programmers can save time by relying on the core language and the standard library. Due to the fact that it is heavily based on C, this programming language has some disadvantages, such as its comparatively messy syntax. Nevertheless, C++ is one of the most popular programming languages today when it comes to system and application programming. However, when it comes to web programming languages, C++ has to be ranked lower than Java, JavaScript, and C#.
C# – Strydom Web Design
The relatively new programming language C#, pronounced as "C sharp", was released in 2001 and is considered to be a general-purpose language. It is type-safe, object-oriented and fundamentally platform-independent. However, it was specifically developed by Microsoft for the .NET Framework. C# is often also referred to as "Visual C#", mostly for implementations. Conceptually, the language is related to Java and C++ among others, but it extends the object-oriented modelto include attributes which store information about classes, objects and methods as well as delegates which refer to methods for specific classes. This primarily results in a more accurate error description when compiling code, saving developers a lot of time.
Many people believe C# is the most important programming language web developers should learn besides Java. As an object-oriented web programming language, C# offers the bestcombination of functionality and depth. Critics have warned that using C# ties you to Microsoft's .NET Framework. Having said that, programmers use it for a large portion of the market. Many programmers now rely on C#, be it for developing for Windows systems or for video games on Xbox and PC. C# is mainly used as a web programming language for web API's and various web applications.
Perl – Strydom Web Development
The free programming language Perl appeared in 1987 and provided the inspiration as an interpreted programming language and a scripting language for languages such as PHP, JavaScript, Ruby and Python. The programmers primarily used programming languages in the C family. This language is fundamentally platform-independent and was originally designed for network and system administration. Since then, Perl has also established itself as one of the most popular programming languages for web software, bioinformatics and finance.
Programmers who use Perl benefit from a high level of freedom and efficient problem-solving. For example, you can modify texts with regular expressions. Moreover, there are many freely available modules for Perl which can be retrieved from the Perl library CPAN. The programming language Perl is designed with the goal of always offering programmers several ways to accomplish their objectives while remaining simple and efficient and working in a context-sensitive manner. Perl played a key role in the spread of the World Wide Web and continues to play a huge role today as a web programming language. Perl is used less frequently when proximity to the hardware (e.g. web servers) and speed (e.g. drivers) play a role.

hello. i am almost back to normal and hoping to get back into the swing of things with the blog as well. here are some film shots from a couple months ago that i took coming and going to work. as much as i don't love times square or midtown, these photos are kind of special to me.
So nice and New Yorky! Us girls should meet at the Oyster Bar in Grand Central one of these days after work for a drink and some clam chowder.
that's a great idea. i have never been, but have heard it's really fun. let's do it soon.


Blackstaffe Day is on this Saturday 31st August from Midday.
Come down to the club to celebrate all things VRC – there will be scratch racing, shiny pots to win, BBQ and party in the evening – guaranteed fun and merriment to be had by all!
Races will start at 1 o'clock with 2 events: Mixed 'Love' Doubles & Scratch Eights.
To take part, please put your name down on the signing up sheets in the bar.
Practice is frowned upon and not becoming of ladies & gentlemen – 'Love' Doubles seen doing so before the event to gain an advantage will be dealt with appropriately at the party…you have been warned!
Standard fare of meat, bread and a gesture of salad.
If you're not able to an all-dayer then the party will kick-off at 19:30 and we have a late licence until 2 AM.
The rules: Everyone wears solid-coloured items of clothing in the Rubik's Cube colours: White, red, blue, orange, yellow and green.
Each person should wear atleast one item in each colour.
The aim is to be dressed from head to toe in a single colour by the end of the night.
To run the day we will need people to help out.
The bar is going to be open quite a while – so please lend a hand whenever you see it short-staffed.

Bitter treats for better breathing

Target identification
Taste receptors
A new study in mice and human tissue shows that activation of bitter taste receptors in the airways relaxes airway smooth muscle, resulting in bronchodilation (pages 1299–1304). Agonists of these receptors seem to be better than current β2-adrenergic bronchodilators in a mouse asthma model, suggesting a new way to ease breathing during asthma.
Airway hyperresponsiveness, a key characteristic of asthma, results from an excessive narrowing of the airways and is associated with airway inflammation. Although the exact cause is unknown, contraction of airway smooth muscle (ASM) is a requirement. This muscle response involves Ca2+ signaling in ASM cells in the form of cytosolic calcium oscillations, which result from Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum into the cytosol upon G protein–coupled receptor (GPCR) activation by agonists, including acetylcholine and histamine. Conversely, airway relaxation can be induced by other GPCRs responding to β2-adrenergic agonists that increase the amount of cAMP, reducing the frequency of the Ca2+ oscillations1.

The C-34 ARIX Dry Cut Diamond Core Bit is ideal for use with a hand-held tool on light weight concrete block and soft to medium concrete with light to medium rebar. Also works well on Quazite and natural stone products including granite and marble. Unlike the majority of all dry bits, the C-34 is laser welded. Laser welding not only gives the bit the ability to cut through reinforced concrete, but it also prevents segment loss.
Core travel is 9", thread size is 5/8"-11. Use wet or dry.
Dry Core Bits can be used with hammer drills provided you have: 1) the correct adapter and 2) a setting on your drill for spin only (the hammer action will blow the diamonds right off the bit, making it useless).

The Condors host the Colorado Eagles for the first of two games on the weekend which will conclude a four-game, two-week homestand for Bakersfield. Colorado leads the season series with a record of 3-1-0-0 against the Condors, including victories in the last three meetings. It is the third time the teams will meet in Bakersfield with four more yet to come at Rabobank Arena. The teams will meet a total of six more times after tonight's action. Bakersfield won the first-ever meeting between the two sides back on Oct. 15 by a 3-1 margin.
Bakersfield has had five days off since a 0-1-0-1 weekend against the Stockton Thunder at Rabobank Arena last weekend. After being blanked, 1-0, on Fri. Jan. 6, the Condors responded with another strong performance on Saturday, ultimately falling in a shootout, 3-2. RW Tyler Helfrich and F Hans Benson each netted goals for the Condors, who became the last ECHL team this season to have a game reach a shootout.
Colorado had the ECHL's leading scorer, Chad Costello, return from the AHL on Wednesday evening and he proceeded to net a hat trick as the Eagles cruised to a 5-1 home victory over Utah. Costello added an assist as well which gave him a four point night in his return to Loveland. The Eagles are 6-3-0-1 in their last 10 games.

Drums are rolling for this one. Bred by Austraflora as an offspring of Grevillea Bonnie Prince Charlie, eyes popped when the first flowers appeared ~ you could just about hear the bagpipes wailing and see the plaids waving through the glens. Bright orange, scarlet and gold clusters like cairngorm brooches weigh down the ends of the stems of dark green foliage. Spinebills especially love it and it's a sight to see them hovering at the nectar-rich flowers.
Add to all that a small compact habit that is perfect for containers, mixed beds, borders and edging, and for real drama, mass planting ~ and the boxes are all ticked. Provide full sun or light shade and well drained friable soils, and Grevillea Charlie's Angel will grow in cool temperate to semi arid climates; light to moderate frost won't be a problem, and coastal gardens will also suit. If you can bear to trim the flowers for posies indoors, that is the best form of pruning. Buds and more buds will follow.

Tell President Obama: Don't expedite Keystone XL

The President shouldn't expedite the southern leg of Keystone XL — he should publicly reject it.
Yesterday, the White House applauded news that TransCanada would go forward with building the southern leg of Keystone XL, promising to help expedite the permits necessary to complete the pipeline's route from Cushing, Okla. to the refineries and shipping ports of Port Arthur, Texas.
Breaking up the pipeline in this way is quite simply TransCanada's latest end run around the State Department's formal review process, which is required for any pipeline that crosses an international border. It will also make it easier for the company to trample property rights and immediately seize Americans' land by eminent domain.
President Obama's support for the southern leg isn't a surprise — he specifically mentioned this project as he was rejecting the full pipeline last month based on insufficient time to conduct a thorough review.
But it is deeply disappointing that, just a month later, he would signal a willingness to backtrack on even that minimal condition, saying he would "take every step possible to expedite the necessary federal permits."1
The southern portion of Keystone XL carries the same risks of oil spills on American water and soil, and brings the tar sands carbon bomb one big step closer to being unleashed across the world. President Obama must insure that the Department of Transportation and the Army Corps of Engineers do not cut any corners in evaluating this project, and consider it's full impacts on the climate.
Tell President Obama: Don't expedite approval of the southern leg of Keystone XL or cut any corners to force this project through. Click here to automatically sign the petition.
While the southern portion of Keystone XL does not turn up the spigot of tar sands bitumen that can be transported out of Alberta, Canada, it does ultimately accomplish the biggest goal of Keystone XL — to bring the landlocked tar sands to shipping ports and the global market so it can be burned across the globe, leading to disastrous climate impacts.
This should be enough for the President to publicly reject this project. Instead he's not only applauding it, he wants to "expedite" it.
Instead of criticizing TransCanada's bullying as it runs rough shod over the private property rights of Americans, President Obama is now acting to enable to enable TransCanada's ability to seize land via eminent domain.
President Obama can't keep trying to have it both ways. He can't claim to want to move our nation away from fossil fuels and fight climate change while he paves the way for the dirtiest oil on earth to be shipped and burned across the globe. He can't try to appeal to environmental voters by rejecting this pipeline on an insufficient evaluation, and then turn around and allow the pipeline developer to circumvent the approval process, even accelerating the minimal process that remains.

We knew this project would be back, and we meant it when we said we'd fight it everywhere, every step of the way.
There will be many local and national opportunities in the upcoming approval fight — but for now the least President Obama can do is maintain even the minimal commitment he made to us when he rejected Keystone XL just weeks ago.
Thanks for fighting Keystone XL in all its forms.

Jon Delbrugge Baptized as New Shogun Fights MMA Champion
Challenger Jon Delbrugge (8-2) submitted Champion, Micah Terrill (6-5) for the Shogun Fights Welterweight title. In an emotionally-charged fight, Delbrugge employed his superior Jiu-Jitsu against the title-holder, earning the tapout in Round 2 of their contest.
Jon Delbrugge utilized superior wrestling to take Terrill to the ground in every round.
Both Maryland fighters utilized consistent gameplans in the two rounds. Delbrugge looking for takedowns and occasionally landing big overhand rights and Terrill looking to counter.
In round 1, Delbrugge took the title-holder down twice, but was thwarted from employing his more advanced Jiu-Jitsu. Rather than fight on the ground, Terrill grabbed the fence to pull himself back to his feet. The referee Fernando Yamasaki, stopped the fight to take a point away, giving Delbrugge a substantial lead on the judges scorecards.
Delbrugge put a scare into his fans when he dropped to the mat twice in the guard position. When asked if he slipped or if he was dazed, the new Shogun Fights champion said, "SLIP!!! Both times. I would have no problems saying I ate a shot but I slipped both times. I was totally coherent. I was even waving him on like 'OK – Let me come up or you come down.'"
He concedes, "I guess from certain angles it was hard to tell. I fell backwards from shooting a a takedown and he rushed in and the second one, I just threw an overhand and slipped."
In round 2, Delbrugge scored another takedown, this time in the middle of the cage. Delbrugge, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Brown Belt with victories in high-level IBJJF competition, ended the fight within a minute of hitting the ground. He opened the closed guard, passed, mounted, and choked his opponent.
There was some additional excitement after the finish due to some of the pre-fight trash talk. Micah claimed that he would "baptize" Delbrugge and had all his contingent wearing shirts to that effect.
After the submission, Delbrugge fell to the floor and shouted, "I'm saved. I'm saved." as his corner baptized him as the new Champion. Despite the active participation in the trash talk before the fight, Terrill's corner was so infuriated that they tried to rush the cage afterwards.
As the great Georges St-Pierre once said, "Its easy to talk. Its harder to fight."
Jon Delbrugge channeled the spirit of Daniel Day-Lewis after the fight
After the fight, Delbrugge was succinct, "Success is the best revenge."
"A lot of hard work went into this. It was a good night for the team. We all took another step forward. THANK YOU so much to everyone that supported. Seriously, this doesn't do it justice. I am overwhelmed with positivity. I have the best family, team and friends anyone could ask for. You guys kick ass plain and simple."
Delbrugge improves to 9-2 professional and should be on the radar of the UFC brass at this point, having won two major belts in the last few months.

Within 60 seconds of hitting the ground in round 2, Delbrugge passed the guard and achieved back mount, getting the tapout.
Jon Delbrugge now holds the Shogun Fights and Ring of Combat Welterweight titles.

'Very unhappy' Doctor Who fan 'needed tetanus shot' after getting wonky TARDIS tattoo
Author October 21, 2021
A Doctor Who fan has been left deeply disappointed and needing urgent treatment after getting a "wonky" TARDIS tattoo.
Kirsty Walker was a customer of tattooist Karl Eginton and is unhappy with his work.
Several former customers have claimed the artist either failed to refund them or left them dissatisfied with their new ink, Hull Daily Mail reports.
Kirsty says she first booked in for a piece in September 2020 in the hope her vision for a bespoke Doctor Who tattoo could be brought to life.
She claims she ended up with a terrible TARDIS that required reworking by a new artist.

Kirsty was not happy with her tattoo
"I first contacted Karl during the first lockdown and he was happy to accept my request, I'd asked for a bespoke Doctor Who tattoo and gave clear guidance for what I'd like," Kirsty said.
"Karl requested the money in full rather than a deposit, as it helped him stay afloat while he couldn't be open. I thought nothing of this due to the pandemic.
"I'd asked to see the design before being booked in which he said was fine, but every time I asked he said he was doing it 'soon'. That soon never came.
"A month after I'd paid the £100, he asked for another £50 because it was a bigger tattoo than he initially thought. I just paid it.
"After the first lockdown, he got me booked in for September 26 at 2pm. I arrived at 1.45pm and had to wait in the car due to restrictions in the shop.
"He made me wait for three and a half hours as he was running late due to 'family problems'.

"I waited, because I paid in full and had no choice."
When Kirsty finally got inside she was less than impressed with the quality of work that she said Mr Eginton carried out.
"He hadn't drawn anything so I had to wait for him to make my design," she continued.
"He didn't draw anything, just copied and pasted from designs online.
"I asked for a Van Gogh sky with a TARDIS, a sunflower and a rose to represent characters and two pieces of script. There was an overall space theme.
"When we had finished the session, he had to stop because it was late and said he would book me back in to finish. I was disappointed he didn't get further with it but didn't think too much about it.
"If I'd have known I was blowing £150 on a two hour session with not much to show for it, I would have walked out."
Mr Eginton's work did not impress Kirsty
The tattoo parlour on Princes Road in Goole where Mr Eginton was working at the time of Kirsty's experience have since distanced themselves from him, saying he only worked as a guest at the shop.
Kirsty Said: "Around a week after my first session, my tattoo got infected and I had a tetanus jab and antibiotics. Luckily, it healed okay but my leg was inflamed and very painful.
"On a few areas, the tattoo was blown out and this can't be rectified.
"As it healed, I saw how wonky the line work was, the dots were uneven, the sunflower was a black blob and I was generally very unhappy.
"The Van Gogh sky did not resemble the famous artwork at all and I didn't want to show anyone. I tried to get booked back in to finish it off and touch up areas, but every time I suggested dates, I was ignored."
By this point Kirsty had decided she couldn't trust Mr Eginton to take the tattoo any further and found Jordan from True Colour, York, who agreed to help her get a tattoo that she could be proud of.
Kirsty said the new tattooist was shocked by the state she had been left in and completed an intensive cover up which cost her a further £350.
She said: "I'm still very angry from this experience and honestly didn't think I'd get stung like this.
"I researched artists before booking and Karl had over 10 years experience and a great portfolio, there was no way of knowing this would happen.
"I'm trying to put this behind me and I'm fortunate I found another artist to help me."
Another unhappy customer, Teresa, booked a tattoo with Mr Eginton while his shop was still open in Goole.
She said: "He explained that he was struggling and could I possibly pay him the money now and once opened we could book a date.
"I was out of work myself with no pay at this time as I was shielding my son who has a small hole in his heart and my work would not furlough me.
"But because I understood that the problems with Covid hitting small businesses I sent him the money through and that was that.
"I heard nothing when things lifted and I contacted him to arrange a date which we did that date came and went and I never had it done as lockdown had happened again.
"He's always got excuses like he had not got his booking diary or he's going through bookings and would get back to me.
"I sent him more messages until he finally replied and stated he had moved to Hull, I was annoyed he'd not contacted me about the move considering he had taken my money and owed me a tattoo.
"I suffer extremely badly with dry discs in my back, slip discs, and mobility is not great and due to depression and anxiety I said I was not comfortable and I insisted on a full refund.
"It's now got to the point he's just ignoring my messages, I'm disgusted with the man and I don't know how he sleeps at night.
"I am a single parent living with my child working two days a week as my health cannot take any more and on Universal Credit and he has taken my money."
A spokesperson for Hull City Council confirmed the matter was currently under investigation.
Mr Eginton has been contacted for comment.

Lena Headey joins 'Danger Mouse' cast
Posted July 13, 2015 by William Martin Filed under
Game of Thrones star Lena Headey and comedian John Oliver have joined the voice cast of the upcoming Danger Mouse reboot.
It was announced yesterday at Comic-Con in San Diego that Headey, who plays Cersei Lannister in HBO's fantasy drama, will provide the voice of US Secret Agent Jeopardy Mouse.
The Dredd actress commented: "I wanted to do [Danger Mouse] because it was pure nostalgia for me. I have children now and it's just a treat to be involved in something that you loved as a kid and be able to share it. Those moments as an actor that come a long once in while are not to be missed."
Jeopardy Mouse is "a super-proficient American, female version of Danger Mouse". Described as "the unseen star of the US Secret Service", she performs her missions "with the minimum of fuss."
John Oliver will be the voice of mad scientist wolf Dr Augustus P Crumhorn III when the new Danger Mouse series begins on CBBC this autumn.
The Last Week Tonight star said: "I've loved Danger Mouse my whole life. Danger Mouse was a significant part of my childhood. So to get a chance to do it is like getting a chance to step into your childhood, which is both a magical and a potentially hazardous thing! It will be awesome, I can't wait to see it, let alone hear myself in it!"
The panel at Comic-Con also confirmed that Count Duckula will appear when Danger Mouse returns. The villainous vampire duck will be "testing Danger Mouse's resolve with his traditionally dark and dangerous ways."
Other cast members in the new series will include Alexander Armstrong as Danger Mouse, Kevin Eldon as Danger Mouse's trusty sidekick Penfold, Stephen Fry as Colonel K and Dave Lamb as the narrator.
Are you looking forward to Danger Mouse? Let us know below…
