Poetry Handmade Books / Poesía hecha a mano
Please join us at McNally Jackson Bookstore on September 2nd, 2011 at 7:00pm,
Yarisa Colón will be speaking about the creation of her handmade poetry books.
McNally Jackson Bookstore is located on 52 Prince Street (between Lafayette & Mulberry), New York City.
This event has been organized thanks to Javier Molea.
Yarisa Colón Torres (1977) was born in Puerto Rico, and moved to Queens, New York when she was fourteen. She publishes her poetry by creating unique handmade books. "Caja de voces" (collaboration with Waleska Rivera, 2006), "¿Entrelínea o secuestro?" (French translation by Yarín Medina Gil, 2007), "Sin cabeza" (revised edition by Taller Asiray, 2011) are among her latest publications. Recently, she also published a limited edition of "Cibeles que sueña=Cybele As She Dreams", a poetry book written by Lourdes Vázquez and translated by Enriqueta Carrington.
Yarisa has shared her work at museums, universities and street fairs in Puerto Rico and abroad. Her work has been reviewed by El Diario/La Prensa, AHA Magazine, Claridad newspaper and Revista del Instituto de Cultura Puertorriqueña, among others. In 2003, the Center for Puerto Rican Studies at Hunter College (NY) invited her to be part of the project "Puerto Rican Writers: History and Context", which provides a space in the general archive to preserve and share her documents. Please visit her blog Espacioasiray.blogspot.com to view some of her work.

The Problem with Hurricanes & Standards of Beauty
While the city shuts down and the rain pounds upon the hardened but delicately sensitive beautiful souls of the city, I find myself bored and lost in my head.
The campesino takes off his hat—
As a sign of respect
toward the fury of the wind
Don't worry about the noise
Don't worry about the water
Don't worry about the wind—
If you are going out
beware of mangoes
And all such beautiful
sweet things. * From Problems with Hurricanes by Victor Hernández Cruz
What little beautiful sweet projectiles should we be wary of - I wonder...
While I brave the storm alone, I browsed upon this New York Magazine article: "I Didn't Think of Myself As Good-Looking at All" about "Richard Avedon's muse and the first non-Caucasian model to grace the pages of a major fashion magazine," China Machado, and it made me recall a recent conversation I had with my best friend while shopping on conceptions and standards of beauty, our features, and our own personal perceptions of beauty.
The title caught my eye right away and seeing this extraordinary woman's profile made me reflect on how powerfully alluring it is to claim and accept one's differences.
Growing up, I have often been conflicted by my features. I don't know anyone (female: biracial or not) who hasn't been. For me, it's been about having very striking/strong features (large eyes, full hair and lips, prominent nose and cheekbones) while being small and fair, dealing with the duplicitous of being both light and dark, small but big - basically not fitting in and the duality of being perceived as "exotic."
I've had a love/hate affair with my nose. My mother has near "perfect," flawless features, and most of the women in my family are beautiful effortlessly. Many people often tell me there is absolutely nothing wrong with my nose and often, I agree but sometimes I wish I had a ski slope or button nose and rarely, like photos of myself in profile, which at other times, makes me angry at how much of the beauty standards and norms for women today are both unrealistic and lacking genuine diversity, irregardless of how that affects all women everywhere.
While riding in a NYC cab on Thursday, my bestie observed that I may not have a "small" nose but the one I have fits me and if I ever changed it, I would be something worse than unattractive, I would be ordinary. I listened, of course and contemplated the idea with a sense of doubt that I was perhaps being kindly placated, (as only a true best friend can do skillfully) but it wasn't till I read this article and looked at the pictures of China Machado that the "extraordinary" element of what she was saying resonated.
There is something about claiming your own particular beauty, of not being beautiful in a standard way, that can make you, even more striking.
I try as much as possible to find the upside and beauty in things, to see the divine in the every day, and even on a tempestuous weekend like this one, it's important to note how rare and extraordinary the spectacle of nature is and how very much WE are all a part of it - beautiful, powerful, and glorious just like a huracán.
Stay safe, everyone
may your journey always bring you home.
* This post is dedicated to my best friend Z, on the occasion of her birthday (you have to be pretty badass to get the gods to stir the winds and make the ocean surge for you) and every other extraordinary woman who's ever felt anything less than beautiful

New Book: Josefina's Sin By Claudia H. Long
A thrilling and passionate debut about a sheltered landowner's wife whose life is turned upside down when she visits the royal court in seventeenth-century Mexico.
When Josefina accepts an invitation from the Marquessa to come stay and socialize with the intellectual and cultural elite in her royal court, she is overwhelmed by the Court's complicated world. She finds herself having to fight off aggressive advances from the Marquessa's husband, but is ultimately unable to stay true to her marriage vows when she becomes involved in a secret affair with the local bishop that leaves her pregnant.
Amidst this drama, Josefina finds herself unexpectedly drawn to the intellectual nuns who study and write poetry at the risk of persecution by the Spanish Inquisition that is overtaking Mexico. One nun in particular, Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, teaches Josefina about poetry, writing, critical thinking, the nature and consequences of love, and the threats of the Holy Office. She is Josefina's mentor and lynchpin for her tumultuous passage from grounded wife and mother to woman of this treacherous, confusing, and ultimately physically and intellectually fulfilling world.
Claudia H. Long is a practicing attorney in Northern California. She wrote her senior thesis at Harvard University on the feminism of Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz and revived her passion for Sor Juana when she wrote Josefina's Sin. She is the mother of two children, and lives with her husband.
New Book: The Maid's Daughter
In light of Arnold Schwarzenegger's recent household mire, which catapulted his Latina housekeeper, Mildred Patricia Baena, into a hotbed of crucifiction by the media, comes a new book that sheds lights on what's it's like to be a live-in maid to a wealthy family and all the issues that come into play: The Maid's Daughter: Living Inside and Outside the American Dream by Mary Romero
This is Olivia's story. Born in Los Angeles, she is taken to Mexico to live with her extended family until the age of three. Olivia then returns to L.A. to live with her mother, Carmen, the live-in maid to a wealthy family. Mother and daughter sleep in the maid's room, just off the kitchen. Olivia is raised alongside the other children of the family. She goes to school with them, eats meals with them, and is taken shopping for clothes with them. She is like a member of the family. Except she is not.
Based on over twenty years of research, noted scholar Mary Romero brings Olivia's remarkable story to life. We watch as she grows up among the children of privilege, struggles through adolescence, declares her independence and eventually goes off to college and becomes a successful professional. Much of this extraordinary story is told in Olivia's voice and we hear of both her triumphs and setbacks.
We come to understand the painful realization of wanting to claim a Mexican heritage that is in many ways not her own and of her constant struggle to come to terms with the great contradictions in her life.
In The Maid's Daughter, Mary Romero explores this complex story about belonging, identity, and resistance, illustrating Olivia's challenge to establish her sense of identity, and the patterns of inclusion and exclusion in her life.
Romero points to the hidden costs of paid domestic labor that are transferred to the families of private household workers and nannies, and shows how everyday routines are important in maintaining and assuring that various forms of privilege are passed on from one generation to another.
Through Olivia's story, Romero shows how mythologies of meritocracy, the land of opportunity, and the American dream remain firmly in place while simultaneously erasing injustices and the struggles of the working poor.
New Book: TRIPLE CROSSING by Sebastian Rotella
Triple Crossing: A Novel by Sebastian Rotella
Valentine Pescatore, a volatile rookie Border Patrol agent, is trying to survive the trenches of The Line in San Diego. He gets in trouble and finds himself recruited as an informant by Isabel Puente, a beautiful U.S. agent investigating a powerful Mexican crime family.
As he infiltrates the mafia, Pescatore falls in love with Puente. But he clashes with her ally Leo Mendez, chief of a Tijuana anti-corruption unit. Politically charged violence escalates, plunging Pescatore into the lawless "triple border" region of South America and a showdown full of bloodshed and betrayal.
Writing with rapid-fire intensity, Sebastian Rotella captures the despair and intrigue of the borderlands, where enforcing the law has become an act of subversion. TRIPLE CROSSING is an explosive and riveting debut.
Sebastian Rotella is an author and award-winning senior reporter for Propublica, an independent organization dedicated to investigative journalism. He covers issues including international terrorism, organized crime, homeland security and immigration. Previously, he worked for 23 years for the Los Angeles Times, serving as bureau chief in Paris and Buenos Aires and covering the Mexican border. He was a Pulitzer finalist in international reporting in 2006. He is the author of Twilight on the Line: Underworlds and Politics at the U.S.-Mexico Border (Norton), which was named a New York Times Notable Book in 1998.

Ode to Chicago
Last month, I visited Chicago for the first time and feel like I left a little piece of my heart there. The history, architecture, the new friends I made, the old friends I reunited with - just everything was amazing. I came back a new person, my soul was replenished. This week I spotted this cool, tilt-shift, miniature ode to Chicago and it literally makes my heart ache.
And here are some of my favorite photos from my trip:
The Harold Washington Library Center's roof, decorated with acroteria depicting owls, which are the Greek symbols of knowledge.
Oliver, the sweet, gentle, protective, red-nosed pitbull, who stole my heart
Like a good pilgrim, I went to the Bean (AKA Cloudgate)
Love this mural by the Art Institute of Chicago
Another great mural in an underpass, every city should have art in the underpasses
This dope building was just outside my hotel window
The very first morning I came across this dragonfly, later we went pass the Zoo and saw some there too.
This photo of the Chicago River was taken from the 42nd floor of the hotel
The lions at the Art Institute of Chicago, reminded me of home and the NYPL.

New Book: If I Bring You Roses by Marisel Vera
I haven't had a chance to read this novel yet but I am looking forward to being swept away by it. Here's a description from Las Comadres:
Vera's passionate debut novel, set in Puerto Rico in the 40's and Chicago in the 50's, follows the fortunes of two young lovers as they wrestle with the marriage they've rushed into.
Felicidad works behind the counter in her aunt's island bakery, serving the town's busybodies, and dreaming of the family she hasn't seen in nearly a decade, especially of the mother who took to the roof of their home in the mountains in a frenzy of grief and madness. The day Anibal enters the bakery in search of a wife is the day Felicidad dares to believe that the new life she's been imagining could become a reality.
Soon the two are married and Felicidad is keeping house in Anibal's Chicago apartment, lavishing care on her husband. But Felicidad's virtue begins to sap Anibal's strength, and chafing at the restraints of marriage and the humiliations of his job in a factory, he takes up with a woman who is everything Felicidad is not: independent, reckless, promiscuous, demanding. As her husband becomes increasingly distant, Felicidad retreats to the dream life that had sustained her back home.
Finally reaching a breaking point, Felicidad decides that the moment has come to be reborn in America. How she finds her voice—and Anibal learns to hear her—is at the heart of this passionate novel.

My Bloody Valentine Loveless
Get It At Discogs
Isn't Anything was good enough to inspire an entire scene of My Bloody Valentine soundalikes, but Loveless' greatness proved that the band was inimitable. After two painstaking years in the studio and nearly bankrupting their label Creation in the process, the group emerged with their masterpiece, which fulfilled all of the promise of their previous albums. If Isn't Anything was the Valentines' sonic blueprint, then Loveless saw those plans fleshed out, in the most literal sense: "Loomer," "What You Want," and "To Here Knows When"'s arrangements are so lush, they're practically tangible. With its voluptuous yet ethereal melodies and arrangements, Loveless intimates sensuality and sexuality instead of stating them explicitly; Kevin Shields and Bilinda Butcher's vocals meld perfectly with the trippy sonics around them, suggesting druggy sex or sexy drugs. From the commanding "Only Shallow" and "Come in Alone" to breathy reflections like "Sometimes" and "Blown a Wish," the album balances complexity and immediately memorable pop melodies with remarkable self-assurance, given its difficult creation. But Loveless doesn't just perfect the group's approach, it also hints at their continuing growth: "Soon" fuses the Valentines' roaring guitars with a dance-inspired beat, while the symphonic interlude "Touched" suggests an updated take on Fripp and Eno's pioneering guitar/electronics experiments. These glimpses into the band's evolution make Shields' difficulty in delivering a follow-up to Loveless even more frustrating, but completely understandable -- the album's perfection sounded shoegazing's death-knell and raised expectations for the next My Bloody Valentine album to unreasonably high levels. Though Shields' collaborations with Yo La Tengo, Primal Scream, J Mascis, and others were often rewarding, they were no match for Loveless. However, as My Bloody Valentine fans -- and, apparently, Shields himself -- will attest, nothing is.

This is, hands down, my favorite album of all time. I was lucky enough to have a friend introduce me to "Loveless" early in 1992, when it was still in its infancy. "Soon" became my anthem for months afterward. To date, it's been a pivotal album in two other major shifts in my life. Distant, mysterious, thrilling, rapturous, unknowable, melancholy, triumphant... every note is perfect.
i was lucky enough to see them tour this as part of the rollercoaster tour with blur, dinasaur jr & jesus and mary chain .. what a line up..... it was the loudest gig ive ever heard to this day.

Been home from school for a little bit now, and just finally this week got to unpack my modeling stuff. In the mean-time, a great package arrived, and had me itching to get to work: Monster Kolor! I got a 1oz. Starter Set, and was immediately impressed. I had been reading some recent comics, and was inspired by some glowing energy on characters that inspired me to try some serious fades and glowing effects with the new paint, and they performed well beyond my expectations. I started with the red-yellow hot-looking fade, and then blocked in all of the 'armor' looking bits in black, to make it look like Jet Jaguar was red-hot with energy, sealed inside a containment suit. I highlighted the black with a little blue, and picked out some parts in bright silver, since I wanted to try every paint in the set. I then worked on the green, first just a glowing effect from the hands and eyes. From there I tried out the Purple Pearl paint I got, which shows up the most on the darker areas. I was expecting it to tint the bright silver purple, but this was a learning experience.
The green contrasted, but wasn't doing enough for me, so I was trying to decide how to finish the figure. When I was spraying the Monster Kolor, I realized just how thin and fine it sprayed compared to the much thicker acrylics. I was finally able to use my Super-Fine tip and needle, and added in all of the cackling energy lightening effect… JJ is souped up and ready for battle, oozing raw energy and looking for a monster to vent on!
You'll notice a couple weird spots in the gloss coat, which I think are from dust settling on it. I think I need to get some kind of cover for the figures while they dry, since the special MK Gloss Clear takes 24 hours to fully cure.
Hedorah the Smog Monster is one of the most iconic of the Godzilla enemy kaiju, even if Godzilla vs. The Smog Monster is one of the most divisive of the Godzilla films. With his many forms, Hedorah brings destruction to Japan as revenge for their polluting ways. This particular sculpt is by M1GO, representing the most recent Godzilla: Final Wars version of Hedorah, in lovely brown chocolate-ey vinyl from the latest Lucky Bag. The color was so fantastic and made Hedorah look like a giant sewage monster, so I wanted to keep most of the base vinyl color and run with the sewage palette. The green ooze is shiny on a matte figure, with wet looking dark brown in he crevices of Hedorah's body, giving it a wet and dry 'made of poop' look that I think really works for the monster.
After working through the big Space Troopers group and finishing them earlier this week, I wanted to spend this weekend unwinding on some pet projects. I have accumulated a good number of M1 kaiju blanks, and brought a few to school with me that I was furthest along the planning process with. First up, which I knocked out last night, was this Godzilla. The base figure is the 09 Lucky Bag (I think Wonderfest) red unpainted 1974 Godzilla sculpt based on Goji's appearance in Godzilla cs. Mechagodzilla. The red vinyl was really vibrant and lovely, and I spent alot of time trying to decide what to do with it. I finally settled on a modified 'Burning' scheme, from Godzilla vs Destroyah, the final Hisei-era film, in which Godzilla basically has atomic indigestion/ a heart attack. The Burning/Meltdown scheme is usually much more dark and start, with Godzilla's body color in that film being very inky and close to black. I am a sucker for classic green Godzilla, however, and decided to use the red vinyl blank as the basis for a much more olive lizard green Godzilla undergoing his atomic meltdown. I also tried using some different metallic paints through my airbrush, Privater Press Paints colors, which I was not sure of the spray-ability of. They went on very thin, but that worked to my advantage in keeping the vibrant red on the spines while sprucing them up. The teeth and eyes were added in with a little brush work, and I am really happy with how this monster came out.
An update on the toys that were waiting for me at the end of this college term… some updated proper shelf shots are in order of my now awesome vinyl collection. Kaiju have muscled Gokin and Transformers out of the way to take over! Lots of M1 Lucky Bag blanks, a ton of RealXHead, including the first Gatchigon (Smokey clear with GID vinyl shards and green baby), and two non-vinyl victories, the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers Megazord and Thunderzord, two of my favorite toys! Also note the Marka Nagata handpainted Captain Maxx, as well as my Toy Karma 2 Mark Nagata Neo Eyezon and Toybot Studios Rockin Kemur Seijin show pieces. Transformers-wise, I managed to score another grail piece, Micromaster Sonic, partner to Sonic Bomber, the missing piece of my Zone Powered Masters trio!


The next hearing in the case would be decided by the ICJ President after the two countries submit their respective documents.
Kulbhushan Jadhav was sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court on charges of espionage.
India and Pakistan have been asked by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to give their respective position in the case relating to Kulbhushan Jadhav, who faces execution in Pakistan for allegedly spying for India.
Disclosing this, External Affairs Ministry spokesman Gopal Baglay told media that when representatives of both the countries met ICJ President Ronny Abraham last week, India was told to give supporting documents, or memorials, by September 13 and Pakistan asked to give its counter by December 13.
The next hearing in the case would be decided by the ICJ President after the two countries submit their respective documents, he said.
The ICJ stayed the execution of death sentence on Kulbhushan Jadhav, who was sentenced by a Pakistani military court on grounds of espionage.

House plans new tactic to defund Planned Parenthood, and repeal ObamaCare
'Congress should do whatever it takes to make sure that Planned Parenthood doesn't receive another dime from taxpayers.'
Fri Sep 25, 2015 - 5:51 pm EDT Fri Jun 18, 2021 - 8:31 pm EDT
WASHINGTON, D.C., September 25, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) – The news that John Boehner is resigning as House Speaker overshadowed another development on Capitol Hill: House Republicans have announced the next skirmish in their battle to defund the nation's largest abortion provider.
Instead of using a Continuing Resolution to deny Planned Parenthood half-a-billion dollars in taxpayer funding, the chamber will vote for a "clean" bill that funds all of President Obama's priorities, side-stepping a potential government shutdown on the first of the month.
The Senate had already scheduled a vote on a "clean" bill for early next week, but the future of the more conservative House was unknown.
Congressman John Fleming, R-LA, told The Washington Post on Friday morning, "The commitment has been made that there will be no shutdown."
House leadership hopes members will use a process known as reconciliation. Bills passed using that method are not subject to filibuster and require only a majority of votes in both Republican-controlled chambers.
They plan to use the tactic to defund Planned Parenthood and repeal unspecific portions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), conventionally known as ObamaCare. However, abandoning the CR would mean that pro-life politicians must vote to fund Planned Parenthood through December 11.
That doesn't sit well with some members of the House Freedom Caucus – the staunch, conservative voice of Congress – who do not feel they can vote for any funding for the scandal-plagued organization alleged to harvest and sell unborn babies' body parts.
As many as 50 Congressmen may vote against any CR containing Planned Parenthood funding, South Carolina Republican Mick Mulvaney said after a strategy meeting on Thursday.
Heritage Action also warns that reconciliation cannot be used, due to technicalities of the legislative process. Others dismiss their concerns.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said if the House stands its ground, it must wage – and win – the war in the public mind.
"If Barack Obama is so eager to cut up babies that he's willing to shut the government down," Gingrich said, "we ought to make it clear who's shutting down the government."
He dismissed concern that a backlash will sink Republicans in next year's election, as well. "This is all a Washington mythology to teach Republicans to be cowards," Gingrich said.
The announcement of reconciliation came at the same time that House Speaker John Boehner announced his resignation from Congress effective at the end of next month.
Some see this as a form of capitulation. Christian conservative talk show host Steve Deace said, "I take timing of Boehner's resignation to mean GOP leadership plans on caving on every fight this month, then Boehner falls on his sword."
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-NY, said that he hoped "the Republican majority, which Speaker Boehner played a large role in creating, learns the right lesson from his resignation: to work with Democrats in a constructive way, rather than let a handful of extreme right-wingers dictate his party's policy."
The process is of less concern to pro-lifers than the outcome.
"Congress should do whatever it takes to make sure that Planned Parenthood doesn't receive another dime from taxpayers," Kristan Hawkins of Students for Life of America told LifeSiteNews. "Pro-lifers supposedly have the majority in both houses. Use it."
Congresswoman Diane Black, R-TN, agreed, saying, "I'm for whatever gets a bill to the president's desk."
Reconciliation would get the bill, and the defunding measure, into the Oval Office. President Obama has promised to veto the measure. At least, congressmen argue, the veto would put President Obama on the record as approving of an organization that allegedly deals in dismembers human body parts.
They hope that will be a victory in its own right.

» VII. How do I figure out if something is copyright protected or public domain?
Are historical speeches public domain?
Submitted by New Media Rights last modified Wed, 06/28/2017 - 4:44pm
The text of speeches made and written down before 1923 are definitely in the public domain in the United States. This follows the general rule that any work published before 1923 is in the public domain. Any audio recordings of speeches made before 1923 are also certainly public domain, but audio or video recordings of historical speeches are subject to a much more complicated inquiry to judge whether or not they are public domain.
Speeches written and given by employees of the federal government (the President and Congressmen for example) are also in the public domain. This is because of the general rule that all works created by the federal government are in the public domain. The recordings of those speeches may or may not be in the public domain. If the recordings were made directly by the federal government, then the recording is certainly in the public domain, but if the recording was made by a person or company, only the text of the speech is in the public domain; that specific recording is protected by copyright.
C-SPAN's video coverage of the floor proceedings of the U.S. House and Senate is in the public domain. Anyone can use the text of the speeches as well as the full recordings of those speeches that CSPAN makes.
From C-SPAN Classroom's"Copyright Policy for Educators"The video coverage of the floor proceedings of the U.S. House of Representatives and of the U.S. Senate is public domain material and is not subject to this license, and as such, may also be used for educational purposes."
However, C-SPAN's coverage of any official events sponsored by Congress and federal agencies is not in the public domain, but CSPAN allows for non-commercial copying, sharing, and posting of that content on the Internet as long as attribution to CSPAN is made.
The text of speeches given by state employees may or may not be in the public domain. This is because state governments, unlike the federal government, can choose to hold onto some rights to some of its intellectual property. It is often the case that state government works, just like federal works, are in the public domain; however, you must do the necessary research in the state you're in to determine the state/agency's specific rules regarding its intellectual property.
If you have any questions about whether the specific speech you'd like to reuse is public domain or whether any document or recording is in the public domain in general, feel free to contact New Media Rights via our contact form to find out whether you qualify for free or reduced fee legal services.

Yesterday, while brushing my teeth, a small piece of a filling fell out. It makes you question brushing, doesn't it?
There was no pain, but I knew it wasn't good. I called my dentist's office only to find he was on vacation into the new year. His associate was covering and she could see me today.
I went today for a 12:15 appointment. She was quick and thorough and I was temporarily patched with no pain. I can't begin to thank her enough for seeing me on such short notice.
Here's my only problem with going to the dentist (and in this case it was the assistant, not the dentist who was the bearer of the problem). I don't want to be made to feel guilty by what I did (or didn't do) when I was young and foolish.
I want to make sure my teeth survive, but I don't want to shy away from the dentist because I'm worried about what I'll hear.

Q: PHP mysql Query Builder that displays just what I want I'm relatively new to PHP and I need some help on a search query.
I have a few drop down 'select' and a 'checkbox group' which will filter the search from database using (...WHERE somethingA = 'somethingA' && somethingB = 'somethingB' etc)
That's all working great but the problem comes when I want to make it so that some search fields DONT have to be used, so if 'SomethingA' is either disabled or value='none' then it will only return WHERE somethingB = 'SomethingB'.
I have tried using OR instead of AND but that returns both values if they are true and not really filtering it properly.
my initial solution was to have if..else statements to define the query,
for example:
$query = "SELECT * FROM table";
$results = $con->query("$query $where $QueryA $QueryB $QueryC");

if($_GET['SomethingA'] == "none" && $_GET['SomethingB'] == "none" && $_GET['SomethingC'] == "none"){
$where = ""
$QueryA = ""
$QueryB = ""
$QueryC = "ORDER by ID" //if all search field is 'none' then get all results
}elseif($_GET['SomethingB'] == "none" && $_GET['SomethingC'] == "none"){
$where = "WHERE"
$QueryA = "SomethingA = '{SomethingA}'" //only use A filter one field
$QueryB = ""
$QueryC = ""
}elseif($_GET['SomethingA'] == "none" && $_GET['SomethingC'] == "none"){
$where = "WHERE"
$QueryA = ""
$QueryB = "SomethingB = '{SomethingB}'" //only use B filter one field
$QueryC = ""
.....

it works but you can already see the problem as if i wanted to cross matrix all conditions it becomes very lengthy and confusing.
So my question is whether there is a much better way of doing this, for instance, make value='none' return all results?
been looking around and attacking it from many angles but cant find a solution..
maybe javascript could help but im not the best with it.
thanks in advance

A: The question is not too clear but look into this. It should help.
$query="SELECT * FROM table WHERE";
$query_link = " AND ";
$isASet=false;
$isBSet=false;
$isCSet=false;

if(strcmp($_GET['SomethingA'],"none") != 0){
    $query.=" column = {$_GET['SomethingA']}";

    //set this to true for later if statements
    $isASet=true;
}

if(strcmp($_GET['SomethingB'],"none") != 0){
    //check if A has been set, if yes include an AND
    if($isASet){
        $query.=$query_link;
    }
    //include this one as usual
    $query.=" column = {$_GET['SomethingB']}";
    $isBSet=true;
}

if(strcmp($_GET['SomethingC'],"none") != 0){
    //check if A or B has been set, if yes include an AND
    if($isASet || $isBSet){
        $query.=$query_link;
    }
    //include this as usual
    $query.=" column = {$_GET['SomethingC']}";
}

//run query and collect result
$result = $connection->query($query);

Q: PowerShell script uploads files, operation times out on big files I have a script that uploads files to Office 365 but when a big file is uploaded it fails and says operation has timed out.
Is there anyway of increasing this in PowerShell or some settings to allow my script to upload the bigger files?

A: It would be difficult to know the exact cause of your error without actually seeing some code or error message.
One of the common reasons could be that you arent using the REST api and hence are only allowed a limited file size to upload.
The article here explains how to upload using REST with Powershell. Also check out this SO question previously answered.
As a side note,
I suggest you do such operations using a console app that uses PnP Core (Legend says it makes your life worth living. Ha ha).


One of the bigger threats to your trees and shrubs this winter are unwanted pests attempting to make your landscape, their home. You have invested your hard earned time and money into your trees and shrubs this year, so protecting them from these pests this winter is important.
One of the best ways to keep these pests off your trees and shrubs is by utilizing dormant or horticultural oil. These oils are extremely effective when it comes to keeping pests off of your trees and shrubs, protecting your landscape, and guaranteeing long-term results. Here is a guide with all you need to know about dormant oil!
First and foremost, dormant oil gets its name from the fact that it is applied to the trees and shrubs when they are dormant. It is a mix of petroleum oil and water, designed to protect trees and shrubs from winter insect infestations, without damaging the plant itself.
Kills and prevents a wide range of pests – Dormant oils kill unwanted pests by either covering their breathing tubes (suffocation) or by destroying their internal cells. They are also effective at killing overwintering eggs. However, the oil may not get to all eggs (especially if they are stacked on top of one another) so it is important to do check again after the initial application.
Safe to humans and non-harmful pests – Because these oils are not poisonous, they are much safer for humans and certain other pests who are not planning on sticking around your trees and shrubs for the winter season.
Minimal smell – The smell of dormant oil is very light and better than the smell of pesticides.
The possibility of plant damage – If you do not apply dormant oils properly, or if you apply them at the wrong time, you are at risk of damaging the plant. You also need to make sure you are mixing the oil at the right dilution rate, or you may cause unnecessary stress on your trees or shrubs.
Only effective to pests present – Because these oils have no residual effects, the pest you are trying to kill and prevent has to be present when the oil is sprayed.
Some plants are more sensitive than others – Make sure you do your research before applying dormant oil. Certain plants react differently than others!
At Ashton Walden, we provide yearlong tree and shrub treatment for long-term results. This includes dormant/horticultural oil applications! Our experts know which treatment will be most effective for your trees and shrubs. Give us a call at (806) 632-3571 to hear more about how we can help you!

Q: Java applet RuntimeException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/mail/Authenticator I have written my first java applet and get errors when deploying it on my web server. My applet uses couple of additional jar files like javaMail mail.jar, smtp.jar, mailapi.jar and others. When I try to display my applet in web browser I get such info in Error Dialog:
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/mail/Authenticator
..
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/mail/Authenticator
    ... 20 more

I am not very good with web applications and not sure what causes this error. From the info I assume that my applet cannot load the libraries. So how can I solve this? I have those libraries on my server in /lib directory. All other files are in main directory. My HTML file is as follows:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
   <TITLE>TPSA Speed Test</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P>
<APPLET code="speedtester_pkg/AppletMain.class" archive="SpeedTester.jar" width=440     height=600></APPLET>
</P>
</BODY>
</HTML>

I also tried to load my applet to web browser using JNLP with the same effect. I tried to find some way to point those libraries in HTML file, but I didn't manage (tried to add another jar archive lines or nativelib in JNLP file). I also tried to add those libraries to jar file with my applet classes, but that didn't help either.
This is my code where I use javaMail (sendTestResults() method near end of the code):
/*

 */
package speedtester_pkg;

I also had a problem with other libraries like Sigar.jar, but I suppose it will solve similarly.
Somebody has good tips?

A: It is necessary to add the Jar containing the javax.mail packages to the run-time class-path of the applet.  To achieve that (one way is to) put that Jar in the same place SpeedTester.jar and change the archive attribute from:
archive="SpeedTester.jar"

..to:
archive="SpeedTester.jar,mail.jar"

Update 1
Change the entire applet element:
From
<APPLET
    code="speedtester_pkg/AppletMain.class"
    archive="SpeedTester.jar"
    width=440
    height=600>
</APPLET>

To
<APPLET
    code="speedtester_pkg.AppletMain"
    archive="SpeedTester.jar,mail.jar"
    width=440
    height=600>
</APPLET>

Presuming the package of the applet class is speedtester_pkg and the applet is named AppletMain.  The code attribute should be the fully qualified name of the applet class, not the path/file name.
Update 2
The above advice re. the mail.jar does not account for classes that are referenced from within the Test, DataReader or ProgressBarTask (or the classes they load).  'Rinse and repeat' that advice for adding extra APIs to the run-time class-path using the archive attribute.
Note
It seems the other answers are referring to a web-app. that is entirely server-side.  For such a web-app., putting Jars into the lib makes sense.  OTOH an applet can only access a Jar that is available by copy/pasting the URL of the Jar into the browser address bar and hitting enter.
In fact doing just that, using a combination of the code-base & href of the Jar, is a good 'acid test' of whether an applet will be able to access the archive.

A: Looks like you're missing the JAR with javax.mail.Authenticator
You can use the FindJar site to figure out what the name of the JAR is and where to download it.  Google for it; it's worth knowing about.
You might be missing others as well.  Keep adding JARs to your app's WEB-INF/lib until those CNF exceptions go away.

A: Missing JARs (mail.jar in your case) is the primary reason for any ClassNotFound exception. Place it in your app server's lib directory to resolve this.

Q: jdbc PSQLException: ERROR: syntax error at or near "CONFLICT" I'm trying to update a table in my postgres DB with JDBC, and for most of my queries it works just fine. But sometime I get this error:
org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: syntax error at or near "CONFLICT"

When I do the request manually in postgres it works just fine:
INSERT INTO user_jira (key_user,account_id,name_user,email_adress,display_name,active)
VALUES ('admin','5a283eThisIsJustAnExample','admin','john.john@proceedit.com','john john',true)
ON CONFLICT (key_user)
DO UPDATE
  SET account_id=excluded.account_id,
      name_user=excluded.name_user,
      email_adress=excluded.email_adress,
      display_name=excluded.display_name,
      active=excluded.active;

Does anyone konws whats going on?
Edit: here is how I connect to the db and send my query:
    String url = "jdbc:postgresql://host:port/db";//connect(url);
    Properties props = new Properties();
    props.setProperty("user","user");
    props.setProperty("password","*********");
    try {
        dyDATAconn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, props);
        System.out.println("connected to "+url);
        Statement st;
         //sql statement
        st = dyDATAconn.createStatement();
        int userRowInserted = st.executeUpdate(User.sqlUpdate(newUser));
        int taskRowInserted = st.executeUpdate(Task.sqlUpdate(allTask));
        int timeSpentRowInserted = st.executeUpdate(TimeSpent.sqlUpdate(allTimeSpent));
        System.out.println("tsk: "+taskRowInserted+"\nTS:"+timeSpentRowInserted);
    } catch (SQLException e) {
        System.out.println("connection to dyJIRA@dyDATA failed");
        System.out.println(User.sqlUpdate(newUser));
        e.printStackTrace();
        return -1;
    }

I can't show how I create my query, but I only got pb with users and the requests are all the same format as the one above
