a concept
is a brick
To the West, when you say that we are a cultured people, you actually mean that we understand the subtleties and complexities of your culture. You mean that we should dream your dreams, since you do not have or acknowledge any others, but that we should live our own lives, since we cannot have yours.
Mimsy, Cool it.
Feeling that this required an answer, I put my hand in the hip pocket of my trousers as though i were looking for something. actually, i wasn't looking for anything, i just wished to change my appearance in order to show interest in the conversation.
One of the most disgusting things is when what you secretly dream about is brutally imposed on you from the outside. We have a nice name for a realized dream: it is called a nightmare.
Good evening May I take your purse as usual, or for the first time?
It seems men merely represent an intermediary stage between monkeys and big edifices in the morphological process.
Persons of culture, advocates of progress, choice intellectuals, foaming at the mouth, construct machines, move science forward is secret spite, trying to forget and not to hear the rumbling of the elements, subterranean and terrestrial, which are stirring, now here now there. Only sometimes they awake and look around them and see the same earth...
Ivo Andric´'s Black Notebook, Belgrade, 1948
And so… a film designer, furniture maker, writer, reader, dancer...I should explain:
A Westerner, lost in an Easterner's lecture on utopia, catches a reference to Max Weber: the "Iron Cage." Weber had described it as the last stage of a cultural development, where there would be specialists without spirit, and sensualists without heart. The Westerner interrupts the Easterner saying, "Ah, finally, we have coeval beliefs, my friend! That the future culture (now) is that of sterility and dispassion!"
The Easterner, skeptical, then asks, "But do you know how the iron cage is constructed?" The Westerner never learned to weld, was more of a woodworker, so listened:
"The base of the cage is knowledge, and its bars are power. At their sangam (the welding point of bar and base), theory ceases to be theory and becomes common sense. All the Professionals in our lives accrue to this joint's strength. They enforce it with more prestige than its practical successes warrant. And once this joint has reached the peak of its success, the cage can create knowledge and the very reality it encases. This knowledge-power-bred reality produces traditions and discourse, who material presence and weight, not the originality of the maker, become the only thing responsible for what comes in and out of that cage."
After a lengthy debate, the Westerner finally proclaims, "Well, I did it! I've built this cage. It's indestructible, it's heavy, and it's a damn beautiful piece of work. What do you think?"
The Easterner replies, "Not quite right."
"Are you sure?"
"I promise, I've been to utopia, and it's greater than what we've built."
The Westerner feels discouraged. The Easterner devices a plan:
We will work together. We will build more. But instead of more cages like this, we'll build an unrealistic, nonsensical amount of fire escapes. The fire escapes will be designed, built by hand, drawn, directed, written, read, danced. Probably more. One fire escape will lead into another. They'll break, their joints won't be strong. They'll last, and the cage will transform. This will be our route to utopia. Never to be specialized without spirit, or sensualized without heart.
In agreement, they begin.

Badlands Unlimited was a New York-based independent publisher founded by the artist Paul Chan (artist) in 2010, publishing e-books, paper books, and artist works in digital and print forms. BU published and produced works by artists and writers that embodied the spirit of this emerging dissolution.
BU once consisted of Ian Cheng, Michael Durand, Parker Bruce, Ambika Subramaniam, and Maddy Verner. During this time, the press published texts by and with other artists in the form of paperbacks, ebooks, digital group exhibitions, a stone book, and other various media. The press also consulted on projects related to digital publishing for art institutions.
Some artifacts from the fire escape at Badlands Unlimited…
INTO WORDS: SELECTED WRITINGS OF CARROLL DUNHAM: Carroll Dunham showcases his writing talents, engaging with a wide variety of artists in the form of reviews, catalog essays, and interviews. Intro by Scott Rothkop. Edited by Paul Chan and Ambika Subramaniam.
EROTICA: NEW LOVERS – Inspired by Maurice Girodias' legendary Olympia Press, New Lovers features the raw and uncut writings of authors new to the erotica genre. Each novella has its own unique take on relationships, intimacy, and sex, as well as the complexities that bedevil contemporary life, culture, and art today.
Badlands Unlimited also took part in various proposals and endeavors like writing a play, proposing the production of said play at Schaulager, designing a lubricant for Acne Studios, partnering with a 99¢ store in Chinatown, rebuilding that store inside of Moma PS1, and building an AI Erotica bot.
New No's is a poem by Badlands Unlimited written after the election of Donald J. Trump and acts as a declaration against the drift of American society toward what is most un-American. Since its publication in December 2016, New No's has entered into collections and has been exhibited throughout the world, including the Whitney Museum of American Art's exhibition, An Incomplete History of Protest. It was listed as one of the best works of art in 2016 by Holland Cotter in the New York Times and featured as one of the responses to the current political situation in Artforum. Part of the proceeds from sales will go towards Planned Parenthood and the ACLU.
DANCES WITH RHIZOME PIXELS
A collaboration between Alex Zandi and Ambika Subramaniam.
DWRP explores how the contemporary context of computerization affects the horizon of our everyday
behavior and can relate to the traditional notion of gestus within the dance form of Bharatanatyam. The
classical dance, in which movement once described the cultural notions of the body, becomes a cyber-dance,
simulating gestus through technobiology and written hypertext. Consciousness within movement is derailed
by the interactive behavior with technology, transforming the coordination between natural body rhythms and
surroundings into a technologically mediated hyperactivity and hyperrealism with movement and image. The
hypertext, which is superimposed on the dance, dictates the individual movements, space, color, and other
elements of the frame and movement. The impossible composition of Bharatanatyam and hypertext becomes
a mechanism that undermines the alleged transparency of the interface, personifying the illusion of
our collective insight into how cyber technology functions and exposing the innate opacity of the medium.
The study of diagrams and of diagrammatic thinking is currently enjoying a revival in several different disciplines. On the one hand, there are historians of technology who emphasize visual knowledge and the role that it has played in the development of the engineering sciences (Ferguson). On the other hand, cognitive scientists and Artificial Intelligence researchers have used representational modes to give their models (or their robots) problem-solving abilities. Here, too, it is the specifically visual aspect of diagrams that is emphasized, for example, the ability of geometric representations rapidly to convey to a problem-solver some of the crucial aspects defining a particular problem, and hence, to suggest possible solutions. But representational modes are descriptive and finite, closing the loop of development. Diagrams are to have no intrinsic connection with visual representation in order to enter the phase of "diagramming" as an active state of morphogenesis. Diagrams are, essentially, maps of energetic systems and abstract machines. See Deleuze, Diagrams, and the Genesis of Form, Manuel De Landa
Splitting such material into one gest after another, the actor masters his character by first mastering the "story". It is only after walking all round the entire episode that he can, as it were by a single leap, seize and fix his character, complete with all its individual features. Once he has done his best to let himself be amazed by the inconsistencies in its various attitudes, knowing that he will in turn have to make them amaze the audience, then the story as a whole gives him a change to pull the inconsistencies together; for the story, being a limited episode, has a specific sense, i.e. only gratifies a specific fraction of all the interests that could arise.
Bertolt Brecht, Brecht On Theatre: 1947-1948
The trickster as the rope-dancers buffoon. A rope, signifying man, is drawn between two towers - the material and the absolute. As the rope dancer crosses, the trickster jumps over him and knocks the dancer of the rope, sending him into the abyss below. The trickster does not play the role of the devil in myths. In fact, a strict division into benevolent God and malevolent devil is more characteristic of the Christian tradition. Instead, the traditional trickster is perceived as an ambivalent creature: he is "at one and the same time creator and destroyer, giver and negator...He knows neither good nor evil yet he is responsible for both...he embodies and enacts that large portion of our experience where good and evil are hopelessly intertwined." Paul Radin, The Trickster 1956
Marx conceived the structure of every society as constituted by, primarily, the infrastructure, or economic base (productive forces), and the superstructure, which itself constants two levels: Law and State; and ideology (religious, ethical, legal, political, etc). This representation has the crucial theoretical advantage of inscribing in the theoretical apparatus its essential concepts of respective effectivity. When the structure of a society is that of an edifice of base/superstructure, a spatial metaphor, it poses that the effectiveness is reliant upon mutual dependency - the upper structure could not stay up in the air alone, and the base must exist to create the upper structure. Most important, the top is perpetually measured against or in relation to the base.
The greatest disadvantage in this is that it remains descriptive and metaphorical. It becomes a diagram that is descriptive in its form, and thus unwavering. One must consider this as a transitional period, a vague inclination of movement in order to proceed to its theoretical development. See Louis Althusser, On the Reproduction of Capitalism, and Manuel De Landa's Diagrams and the Genesis of Form
The basis of critique of Europe's narrative of modernity can be its simplistic view of human history as an ongoing process in constant progression towards perfection of the human ideal: a view based on its underlying belief in history as a unilinear process. For those who subscribe to this narrative of modernity, The West's privileged status as 'developed' is necessarily reliant on its antithesis - 'underdevelopment'. In other words, the West would not be modern if it had no touchstone 'other' against which it could measure its own progress. The West relies on definitions of what it considers not modern, or 'primitive,' in order to define itself as modern. 'De-centering the west' is the process in which the intimate relationship between modernity and the West becomes untangled through a dissolution of all grand narratives (particularly those which claim a universal end).

So… a designer, furniture maker, writer, reader, dancer? I should explain: A Westerner, lost in an Easterner's lesson on utopia, catches a reference to Max Weber. In particular, Weber's discussion of an Iron Cage in the last stage of a cultural development: Specialists without spirit, sensualists without heart. It's here that the Westerner wakes up and says, "Ah, we have coeval beliefs, my friend! That the future culture (now)) is on of the sterility and dispassion!" The Easterner nods, sure, then asks "Do you know how our iron cage is constructed?" The Westerner never learned to weld, was more of a woodworker, so listened:
The base of the cage is knowledge, and its bars are power. At their sangam )the welding point of bar and base), theory ceases to be theory and becomes common sense. All the Professionals in our lives accrue to this joint's strength. They enforce it with more prestige than its practical successes warrant.

We will build more. But instead of more cages, we'll build an unrealistic, nonsensical amount of fire escapes.

Renewable Energy - The Next Opportunity For Silicon Valley
04/01/05, 12:00 AM | Solar & Wind | Opinions and Advice
It is interesting to ponder what would happen if the technology industry were to invest aggressively in energy. This is an industry that invented computers and then made them so powerful and so small that today we think nothing of toting a supercomputer in a backpack.
Greening The Urban Village With Horizontal Elevators
02/01/05, 12:00 AM | Solar & Wind | Systems
Before the advent of the vertical elevator, people were only willing to access 3 or 4 stories of building space. Today, on the threshold of the advent of the "horizontal elevator ", daily shoppers and business patrons will only walk on average, about 300 meters (1,000 feet) from a parking space.
The charge for the connecting to the grid would have amounted to $125,000. whereas the total cost for the Renewable Energy system was $25,000. - a savings of $100,000.!

02/01/05, 12:00 AM | Energy Storage & Grids | Storage Systems, Systems, ultracapacitors | Maxwell Technologies, Inc.
Compact in size, ultracapacitors can store an incomparably higher amount of energy than conventional capacitors. Indeed, ultracapacitors are currently available on the market with capacitance ranges up to 2700 Farads, and they can release that energy at both a high or low rate.
What Is A Green Tag?
02/01/05, 12:00 AM | Solar & Wind | Business Development, Miscellaneous Energy Topics
Utilities by law, in all 50 States, have to purchase clean energy for every green tag sold. This means that when you buy a Green Tag, you can be assured that somewhere in the grid those electrons were produced using clean power.
A Router for Electrical Energy
12/01/04, 12:00 AM | Solar & Wind | Commentary, Opinions and Advice
Overall, the 'router' for power is a first step towards an energy model that is more efficient because it uses locally generated power at the highest possible efficiency. As more and more manufacturers design their electronic appliances to be DC compatible, the concept will proliferate.

Whitehall claims £5.4bn current year cost savings
alicelynch 7 November 2013
The government has claimed savings of £5.4bn in the first half of the current financial year – and it has ambitions to reach £12.5bn by the end of the year, and £15bn if fraud, error and debt reductions are included.
The Cabinet Office's Efficiency and Reform Group (ERG) savings – which are so far unaudited – are categorised in four areas: transformation, including improving online services, and raising money through selling empty buildings (£0.6bn); closer scrutiny of large scale projects and reviewing and reshaping them (£0.7bn); commercial, including renegotiating deals with suppliers by linking together departments to buy goods and services (£1.8bn); and workforce reduction by reducing the size of the civil service and reforming civil service pensions (£2.3bn)
Cabinet Office minister Francis Maude said: "My priority is to ensure that Whitehall spends effectively and efficiently every pound from hard-working taxpayers. I'm pleased to announce we have saved £5.4 billion at the half-point of this financial year. We saved £10 billion in the last financial year, with £5.5 billion the year before and the £3.75 billion in our first ten months in office."
The government said that departments supported by the Efficiency and Reform Group have saved nearly £300 million by utilising innovative technologies and improved procurement practices in public sector construction projects and encouraged UK growth by opening up government business to attract a wider range of suppliers, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs.)
10.5% (or £4.5 billion) of government business went directly to SMEs in 2012 to 2013 and the government aspires to reach 20% by the end of this financial year and 25% by 2015.
Sajiv Javid, Financial Secretary to the Treasury, said part of opening up government business to SMEs was publishing contract pipelines of £169 billion to make it easier for suppliers to work with public bodies. The pipeline includes information and communications technologies worth £5.7bn, he said.
The government said the SMEs that it is working with include Jadu, Squiz, Kahootz, Skyscape and ClickTravel.
By the end of 2013-14, according to the government's chief operating officer Stephen Kelly, the government will have undertaken 180 assurance activities on major projects and seen the graduation of 50 graduates from the Major Projects Leadership Academy.
Responding to questions on the savings, Maude insisted that outsourcing remained on the government's agenda.


On March 25, 1911, a fire at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York's Greenwich Village killed 146 workers. Most of the dead were recent Italian and Jewish immigrant women, some as young as 15 years old. Survivors, their families, and those who witnessed the fire were forever changed by the tragedy. Hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets to mourn the dead silently. Grief and moral outrage turned to action as unions stepped up their organizing drives, and community leaders and politicians pushed for laws to protect workers' safety. Over a hundred years later, the story of Triangle continues to resonate in the U.S. and Italy. On March 25, 2015, the 104th anniversary of the fire, a panel of Italian, Italian American, and Jewish writers and activists will discuss Triangle as a springboard for exploring identity as it relates to migration, work, gender, and other issues in historical and contemporary contexts.


The founder of the Haynes motor manuals - known for their distinctive "exploding" diagrams - has died aged 80.
John Haynes started the firm after helping fix an Austin Healey Sprite and realising the official manual was "not designed to help an average car owner".
A statement from the company he founded described him as a "true gentleman".


On Wednesday, Jules and I pulled the low voltage power supply to troubleshoot the loss of PA screen and plate voltage on the oscillator and driver tubes. We could find no low resistance problems and the capacitors appeared to be good. The choke that had heated appears to have the correct resistance with no obvious shorts. One of the taps on the biggest power resistor in the bleeder/divider chain had a high resistance, Jules was able to clean the contact and it looks good now. Jules thinks the choke was intended to be a swinging choke because of the tap shown on the schematic. However, it looks as though the tap is no longer being used. Mercury Vapor tubes (866As) were originally used, but our supply had 3B28s, so that is likely why the change was made.
Today, I measured the resistors in the bleeder/voltage divider network to determine the network current and figure out what elements in the exciter used the various taps.
I then inserted some of Mike's pins in the supply socket to see if I could see the excessive load source. Everything looked good except the 807 and 837 plate and feed for the 813 screen resistor. That line measured 468 ohms to ground. With 660 volts no load on that line, more than an amp would be required. So that is likely the source of the fault. Pulled the exciter and the low impedance was still measured. Two terminal strips (AN and N) between the exciter and power supply connectors, so determined that the wire between the N strip and the power supply connector has the problem. The bad wire has an undocumented branch circuit so we'll need to run that down (and is likely where the fault is), but should be a straightforward "fix". I'm going to use the single phase supply to check out the low voltage supply before we return it to the rack. Jules plans to bring in a bridge so we can measure the choke impedance, as well.
Encouraging because I did see indications of oscillator activity before the supply shut down. After the fault gets cleared, I'm fairly confident we'll be able to start through the RF stages before the end of the month.

UWS Is About to Get a Slew of Promising New Restaurants
Newcomers include a dumpling restaurant and one from a Dovetail alum

The Upper West Side dining scene is about to see a lot of fresh eating, with new restaurants from a Dovetail alum and the Maison Pickle team planned for later this year.
Lucky Pickle Dumpling Co., a new venture from Jacob Hadigeorgis of neighborhood favorites Jacob's Pickles and Maison Pickle is set to open in March at 513 Amsterdam Ave. and West 85th Street. It will feature a short menu of dumplings, like the shrimp pillow dumplings on the menu at Maison Pickle, and soft-serve for dessert. The restaurant will be highlighted at the 11th annual Taste of the Upper West Side.
In July, Nick Pfannerstill — who was previously at Michelin-starred Dovetail — will open Nobody Told Me at 951 Amsterdam Ave., near West 107th Street. West Side Rag reports that the new restaurant generated buzz among board members at a Community Board 7 committee for liquor licenses. Pfannerstill described the restaurant as "fast cuisine."
And as previously reported by Eater NY, Tom Valenti is also hitting the UWS with a new restaurant. Valenti's Oxbow Tavern is set to take over the space formerly occupied by French bistro Cafe Tallulah at 240 Columbus Ave., between West 71st and 72nd streets.
Also getting previews at the Taste of the Upper West Side event, Harlem bakery Make My Cake is moving to UWS after closing its 22-year-old shop in Harlem due to rising rents. Make My Cake is scheduled to open in June at 805 Columbus Ave., near West 100th Street. Elea — from Joe Ragonese, formerly of shuttered Long Island restaurant Kenta in Melville — is also set to open in June at 213 West 85th St., between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue. And Twin Palms from chef Ryan Turner of Burke & Wills is set to open the same month at 200 West 84th St., near Amsterdam Avenue.
According to West Side Rag, the Cibo E Vino and Marlow Bistro owners are opening a yet-to-be-named restaurant at 1012 Amsterdam Ave., between West 109th and 110th streets, as well. Thai restaurant Ruadee is opening at 307 Amsterdam Ave. The 60-seat Ruadee is slated to open in April. Akimoto Sushi Inc. is opening a sushi joint at 146 West 72nd St., between Amsterdam and Columbus avenues. There is also an Akimoto Sushi in Tribeca. And serving small plates and only open for lunch, Owl Café is opening at 215 West 75th St., near Broadway.
And it wouldn't be a restaurant proliferation without a poke expansion. Pokebab in Williamsburg is opening a new location at 2047A Broadway, between West 70th and 71st streets next week. The space formerly housed Maoz.
The neighborhood has experienced several closures recently, including the long-running Big Nick's Burger & Pizza Joint Too, seafood restaurant Ed's Chowder House, and the 11-year-old South Indian restaurant Hampton Chutney.

Controversial, Famed Alum of Lombardi's Returns to Astoria With His Own Pizzeria Plus, Fort Greene speakeasy Karasu reopens — and more intel


This was the fourth time I've seen Max Raptor in the last 10 months and it was another great performance by the band from Burton on Trent. They are usually described as a punk band but to me they are more of a punk/metal hybrid who have successfully carved out a niche between the two genres.
The band took to the stage at about 9:50 and Will greeted the audience with "Hello York, how you all doing", following up with "gather round and bring yourselves in" to the smallish crowd scattered around the venue. The opening track of the set was the usual 'Obey the Whips' from their debut mini album "Portraits" which was followed by their first single 'Breakers' taken from their first full CD, "Mothers Ruin". It was back to Portraits for 'The Alarm', a track I've never seen them play live before followed by the brilliant 'Patron Saint of Nothing' which saw Will trying to whip the crowd up into a pogoing frenzy but not really succeeding. It was back to Mothers Ruin for a run of tracks back to back starting with the great 'Back of a Barrel Wave', followed by 'Must Work Harder', 'Grace and Favours' and 'Evangeline'. A bit of warming up the crowd to help sing 'England Breathes' and then they finished off with the brilliant 'The King is dead' which is still one of the best tracks I've seen played live these last couple of years.
The band put an enormous amount of effort and energy into getting the smallish crowd worked up into a decent mosh pit and although it kicked off a few times it was never sustained, dying away after a minute or so. They kept on trying though, right up to the end of the set but the crowd only responded sporadically and only when Will was encouraging them.
The set was only 40 minutes and should have been longer for the headline act, especially as the gig finished around 10:30. 'Beasts' and 'The Great and the Good' were glaring ommisions from the setlist, maybe if the crowd reaction had been better they would have been done as an encore .
It can't be long before these lads break through and start getting much larger crowds to their gigs, they definitely deserve to be getting more recognition and attention than they are receiving now.
It's the only time I'll catch this tour but I'll definitely be seeing them again later in the year.
Islet are a band that I've wanted to see for a long time now, approaching two years but they seemed to only ever play in the north east when I was working offshore so when I found out about this gig at Baltic39 as a closing event for the RIFF festival I wasted no time in booking a place for the gig which was held in the gallery project space on the 4th floor.
At just after 9:30 they started moving slowly through the crowd from the back of the hall towards the stage ringing small hand held bells which got progressively louder as they approached the stage. The bells continued as they reached the stage and the drums joined in, quietly at first but building up into a crescendo as Emma, who was jumping around like she was possessed by a demon, burst into the yelping vocals of the magnificent opener 'This Fortune'. After the abrupt ending to the track there was a bit of a stunned silence from the capacity crowd before they burst into applause, most people just weren't expecting such a wild opening track. How are you all doing she asked the audience after trying to persuade the crowd to move forward, doing quietly she carried on to herself when no one answered. She moved over to be the second drummer and Mark took over the vocals for the next tracks 'Ringerz' and 'Triangulation Station'.
Another change round followed with Emma taking control of the drum kit, and John taking on the guitar for the rest of the set which started with 'Entwined Pines' and the much quieter 'Dust of Ages'. The pace picked up a bit with 'What we Done Wrong' and 'Iris', then Mark then took time out to thank the gallery / festival curators before continuing with 'Tripping Through the Blue Room I & II'. More thanks from Mark, this time for Ewan Jones Morris who was responsible for the video show that accompanied the bands performance. The instrumental 'Sails Billow and Swell' served as an introduction to the last track 'Carlos'.
This was an exceptional performance from a band that are not afraid to experiment, band members rotating through the instruments, taking turns on the vocals and regularly wandering through the audience with the hand held and strings of bells they used for the set intro. I wish I'd managed to see them earlier in their career (they have been together since 2009) and needless to say they are high up on my list of bands that I have to see again.
A really good start to 2014, and I'm hoping for a few more gigs to match the really high standard of this one.

Q: Extra added field value to be sent in post method After adding the extra field using javascript, the extra field values are not being sent by post method in php. Here in the code adding the basic 5 fields, rest are the extra fields that user can add if necessary
The code is as follows:

     Please enther the grocery items

   Item name	 kg/No of packet

  <form  method="post" action="gl.php">

 <input id="item1" name="item1" type="text" maxlength="255" value=""/>	<input id="kgorp1" name="kgorp1" type="text" maxlength="3" value=""/>

 <input id="item2" name="item2" type="text" maxlength="255" value=""/>	<input id="kgorp2" name="kgorp2" type="text" maxlength="3" value=""/>

  <input id="item3" name="item3" type="text" maxlength="255" value=""/>	<input id="kgorp3" name="kgorp3" type="text" maxlength="3" value=""/>

  <input id="item4" name="item4" type="text" maxlength="255" value=""/>	<input id="kgorp4" name="kgorp4" type="text" maxlength="3" value=""/>

  <input id="item5" name="item5" type="text" maxlength="255" value=""/>	<input id="kgorp5" name="kgorp5" type="text" maxlength="3" value=""/>

 <input id="saveForm" type="submit" value="Submit List" />	<input id="addtxt" type="button" name="addtxt" value="Add more items" onClick="changeIt()" />

</form>

The php code for retrieving the data sent via post method,
$i=1;
foreach ($_POST as $param_value) {
  if ( empty( $param_value ) ) {

  } else {
    echo "$param_value	";
    if ( ( $i % 2 ) == 0 ) {
      echo "

";
    }//echo $i;
  }
  $i++;
}

A: The problem is with how your form tag is placed and parsed in the HTML DOM.
Put the form tag higher in the document, after the  tag.

  Please enther the grocery items
  <form method="post" action="gl.php">

and then change the javascript to this:
function changeIt()
{
    var child = document.createElement('td');
    child.innerHTML = "<input id='item"+i+"' name='item"+i+"' type='text' maxlength='255' value=''/><input id='kgorp"+i+"' name='kgorp"+i+"' type='text' maxlength='3' value=''/>";
    document.getElementById("my_div").appendChild(child);
    i++;
}

What you should get when you do a print_r($_POST) is:
Array ( [item1] => [kgorp1] => [item2] => [kgorp2] => [item3] => [kgorp3] => [item4] => [kgorp4] => [item5] => [kgorp5] => [item6] => [kgorp6] => [item7] => [kgorp7] => [item8] => [kgorp8] => [item9] => [kgorp9] => [item10] => [kgorp10] => [item11] => [kgorp11] => )

A better solution is to get rid of the table and tr/td tags and work with divs/spans for the form (its a lot nicer way to code, honestly :) )

A: for(i=0;i<=11;i++) {
    document.getElementById("my_div").innerHTML = document.getElementById("my_div").innerHTML +"

     <input id='item"+i+"' name='item"+i+"' type='text' maxlength='255' value=''/>
    <input id='kgorp"+i+"' name='kgorp"+i+"' type='text' maxlength='3' value=''/>

";
 }

Demo

A: I don't see where the my_div variable is initialized.
You could do, in the beginning of your changeIt function:
var my_div = document.getElementById('my_div')

Then another problem: don't name this variable my_div while it's actually a tr tag.
And further: in this tr tag, your changeIt function will include HTML containing another tr, so you'll end up with bad HTML. A suggestion: do not use tables but instead, div or li tags for such a listing.

A: Instead of using it in a function, simply put it inline inside your form in the following manner,
document.write('<input type="hidden" name="whatever" value="'+i+'">');

and make the adjustments necessary according to what you need.

My second completed book for the Southern Reading Challenge was the wonderful collected letters of Flannery O'Connor, The Habit of Being. (This would also have served as a completed book for the Chunkster Challenge, if that challenge was still operational.) O'Connor was the Southern-raised-and-bred author of what could best be described as Southern grotesque (her choice of term, over "gothic") stories and novels, including Wise Blood, The Violent Bear It Away, and Everything That Rises Must Converge.
O'Connor lived in the South during the beginning of the integration movement. She left for a few years, heading northeast where she spent time in NYC and at the artist's colony Yaddo, but a diagnosis of lupus sent her back home to Milledgeville, GA ("A bird sanctuary," as the town's sign bragged, a descriptiong O'Connor found endlessly humorous). Her physical world was by necessity very small, but the connections she made with other writers and with fans of her work allowed her to reach out via letters and form friendships that lasted the rest of her unfortunately short life.
A devout Catholic, O'Connor did not approach her religion or its members through rose-colored glasses. Nor did she suffer the fools of literature lightly, frequently groaning in her letters about English students and professors trying to force meaning into details of her work where no meaning was intended. Many of her stories focus on Protestant characters, rather than Catholic, something she wrote about in 1963: "People make a judgment of fanaticism by what they are themselves. To a lot of Protestants I know, monks and nuns are fanatics...to a lot of the monks and nuns I know, my Protestant prophets are fanatics. ..the only difference between them is that if you are a Cathoic and have this intensity of beliefe you join the convent and are heard from no more; whereas if you are a Protestant and have it, there is no convent for you to join and you go about in the world getting into all sorts of trouble and drawing the wrath of people who don't believe anything much at all down on your head."
But she didn't just write about Catholicism and writing, she wrote about life on a Georgia farm, in a community filled with people that served her well in her fictional pursuits. The letters are full of O'Connor's dry, understated humor, sending anecdotes about the people she meets and sees that are less gossipy and condescending, but more amused and accepting.
By the time I reached the last letter, written just days before her death, I found myself slowing down. O'Connor was a lively, thoughtful letter writer, and it's hard not to wish there were many more left to read.

A fourth generation restaurateur, Christopher Collins was practically raised in his family's restaurants, helping and hanging out with the line chefs (and eating extra bacon).

"That was my finishing school, where I learned the restaurant business from top to bottom, food to equipment," Collins says. "I was inspired by my experience at Hillstone, combined with my father's hands-on approach and local focus (knowing the names of all your customers, caring about the product personally) to create Twisted Grove. It's all about soul. A restaurant is not just a building." Collins lives in Phoenix with his wife Melissa and their two sons, Christopher "Topher" Collins Jr. and Fitzgerald "Fitzy" Collins.
Twisted Grove Scottsdale offers two private dining areas, perfect for every occasion.

This is a non-alphabetical list of novels set in Oxford, not necessarily recommended as some are a little bit toffee-nosed and derelict, but all are well regarded and all are for sale here at the Beatnik. Also for sale are my mother (a few miles on the clock but knows how to cook kedgeree, I can only spell it), a budgerigar, and left behind umbrellas. I'll sell most things, no standards.
The dons of crime writer Harriet Vane's alma mater, the all-female Shrewsbury College (a thinly veiled pastiche on Sayers' own Somerville College), have invited her back to attend its annual Gaudy celebrations, a reunion meeting for former College members. The atmosphere darkens when a series of malicious pranks occur, including poison-pen messages, obscene graffiti, the destruction of a set of proofs and crafting vile effigies. Desperate to avoid a possible murder in college, Harriet asks her old friend Lord Peter Wimsey (a Balliol man through and through, so he's heard of democracy, just) to investigate and unmask the criminal lunatic.
This is the tenth of Sayers' Lord Wimsey novels, an aristocratic sleuth, and whilst no murder actually takes place, the taut psychological plot is thrilling with plenty of philosophical excursion, and a love story unfolds amidst the narrative. The novel has been described as the first feminist mystery novel, and the role of women in 1930s England is examined. Some find Sayers' style too rich and flowery, and her elitist view of society rather spoils its social commentary; but she had the popular touch, and if her calling card is today only nostalgic, her books are still appealing.
Set just after the Restoration when conspiracy and turmoil were rife, this epistolary novel (a novel written as a series of documents or letters) features a quartet of unreliable narrators giving their differing versions of the same series of events. Stitched together like a frayed jumper, the context is absorbing, it is loosely based on historical happenings and is crammed with fascinating period detail, although there is an impression that the author's known facts were shoehorned in after the main text had been written. As much a novel of ideas as of character, it is none the less compelling and quite good.
Zuleika Dobson, or, an Oxford Love Story is Beerbohm's only novel, a satire of undergraduate life in Oxford. It includes the famous line "Death cancels all engagements," and presents a corrosive view of Edwardian Oxford.
Zuleika Dobson is a femme fatale who gains entrance to the privileged, all-male domain of the University because her grandfather is the Warden of Judas College (based on Merton College, Beerbohm's alma mater), where she falls in love with the Duke of Dorset, a snobbish, an emotionally detached student who decides that he will commit suicide to express his passion for Zuleika and to alert her of the terrible and crushing power her beauty holds upon men's affections. Other undergradutes follow his lead, and the story continues with many further twists….
The novel is set in the wartime Oxford. Protagonist John Kemp is a young man from "Huddlesford" in Lancashire, who goes up to Oxford. With great sympathy it analyses his emotions at this first experience of privileged southern life. Socially awkward and inexperienced, Kemp is attracted by the reckless and dissipated life of his roommate Christopher Warner, a well-off southerner who has attended a minor public school, tellingly called "Lamprey College". The eponymous Jill is Kemp's imaginary sister, whom he invents to confound Warner.
Set in North Oxford, trouble stirs in the Lux family. Eve, the elder daughter, is seething with loathing for her charismatic sister Phoebe; meanwhile, their mother's best friend, Helena, is about to make a startling confession. This is Oxford, where cleverness is all, and secret love and secret hatred must be repressed. One reviewer described this is "Miss Marple meets Rosamond Lehmann." Don't forget that North Oxford has pretensions, but at its heart is Clinton Card philosophy and garden gnome territory, where everybody imagines a garden designed by Inigo Jones and Corinthian pillars either side of the front door. And the book doesn't quite catch this. It's healthy book group fodder.
Edmund Crispin was a pseudonym of Robert Bruce Montgomery, who first became established under his own name as a composer of vocal and choral music, including An Oxford Requiem (1951), but later turned to film work, writing the scores for many British comedies of the 1950s, including the first Carry On films. He wrote short stories and nine detective novels which feature Gervase Fen (the detective hero of The Moving Toyshop), who is a Professor of English at the university and a fellow of St Christopher's College, a fictional institution that Crispin locates next to St John's College, his own college. Fen is an eccentric, sometimes absent-minded character, and the whodunit novels have complex plots and fantastic or unbelievable solutions, including examples of the locked room mystery; they are written in a humorous, literary and sometimes farcical style and contain frequent references to English literature, poetry, and music.
P.D. James included this book in her list of five most riveting crime novels; it is not a top rate read, but a period piece and redolent of the era of the large Oxford donnish personality, the Spooners and Bowras (aka "Buggery was invented to fill that awkward hour between evensong and cocktails.") and others that strode each as a bloated mini-Colossus in the early and mid-twentieth century. It is dedicated to Philip Larkin, Crispin's contemporary at St. John's College. I have to say, any book sporting any of the early Penguin liveries has to be cherished.
Dexter actually went to Cambridge, so there is no hint of student nostalgia with Morse, whose TV exploits have added significantly to the city's tourist magnetism (this book was the first to be screened). Dexter did work for the Oxford University Examination Board however, so he's done his time as one of the Sheldonian herms.
I've attached the cover for the large print edition because, well, you're probably quite old if you want to read this book.
I have read about half of those novels and will search out the others. I would like to propose another novel to this list. A little gem set in Oxford and India, Afternoon Raag by Amit Chadhuri. "This subtle novel both estranges and gently strokes the surface of English and Indian life. I know of nothing in English fiction that begins to resemble it." – Tom Paulin.

All The World's A Stooge
Posted on April 25, 2012 by dawhite2014
The Three Stooges have entertained us for over 75 years. Their career on stage, film and television spanned more than 40 years. From 1930 to 1970, they appeared in over 200 film shorts and features.
The Stooges also have a very healthy fan base. The Three Stooges Fan Club, based in Pennsylvania, has over 2000 members and runs 'The Stoogeum', a museum packed with Three Stooges memorabilia. Three Stooges film festivals and conventions are held worldwide.
If you want to find out what all the fuss is about, you are in luck since The Three Stooges are well represented in the holdings at the Everett Public Library. Here are some examples:
The Three Stooges: Amalgamated Morons to American Icons: An Illustrated History by Michael Fleming is a good, short history of the Three Stooges. The book traces the childhoods of the Howard brothers (Moe, Curly, and Shemp), their early days on stage, their short comedies with Columbia Pictures, the decline of Curly's health and Shemp's return to the act, and their features with 'Curly Joe' DeRita.
One Fine Stooge by Steve Cox and Jim Terry is the authorized biography of the frizzy haired stooge, Larry Fine. Fine gave Terry a collection of clippings and photos and his blessing to write a biography worthy of the Stooges. With the help of Stooges fan Steve Cox, Terry's work was finally published in 2006. The book includes a number of unpublished photos, including some of Curly Howard, taken after his forced retirement from the Stooges due to a stroke. Of the dozens of books written about The Stooges, One Fine Stooge is one of the finest. (Pun intended)
In 2010, Sony Pictures Entertainment completed an eight volume release of the 190 Columbia shorts. Everett Public has volume three of The Three Stooges Collection which has 23 shorts, produced between 1940 and 1942.
The Stooges' films were often a reflection of the world at the time they were made. In You Nazty Spy, Moe is Moe Hailstone, who has a striking resemblance to Adolf Hitler. The Stooges were the first to satirize Hitler on film, 9 months before Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator. As You Nazty Spy begins, the Stooges are wallpaper hangers, an occupation reportedly once held by Adolf Hitler. They are recruited by businessmen Iznay, Onay, and Amscray to overthrow King Herman the sixth and seven eighths of Moronica because 'There's no money in peace'. The 'Nazty Spy' is the boys' secretary 'Mata Herring' who, with the help of her 'magic 8 ball', predicts a grim future for them. The masses rise up and revolt, the trio end up on the run, and eventually become lunch for a den of lions.
The Stooges are employed as census takers in the 1940 short No Census, No Feeling, making four cents for each person interviewed. As the short opens, the boys, like over eight million others in 1940, are unemployed. Some were fortunate enough to draw a paycheck, temporarily, working for the 1940 census. The census takers had to work hard for their money, asking individuals questions about age, employment, income, marital status and so on. In one memorable scene, Moe stands at a man's front door and asks "Are you married or happy". Immediately following the question, the man ducks and Moe is hit in the face by a piece of flying dinnerware.
The Three Stooges are being reinvented for a 21st century audience. The Farrelly Brothers, who made the film There's Something About Mary have filmed a Three Stooges feature for release in April, 2012. The movie promises to retain the traditional slapstick style of the classic shorts, with a modern-day storyline. Stooges purists may not approve of this 'update' which includes scantily clad ladies, Lobsters stuffed down trousers, and members of the cast of 'Jersey Shore'. However, the impersonations of the Stooges are spot-on.
Over forty years since their last filmed performance, The Three Stooges remain popular. Books continue to be written about the boys and the majority of their film and TV work is available on DVD. The Three Stooges should eye poke and bonk heads for another 75 years, to the dismay of mothers everywhere.

Many thanks for your kind words, Anne. A gift card for that soy white mocha has been sent your way! Nyuk!
I've seen 'The Three Stooges' movie and it wasn't too bad.It was fun. It sure doesn't deserve the bashing that some reviewers have given it. It did get a positive review in 'The Herald', our local paper. It won't be a monster hit, but it looks like it will make back its $30 million dollar budget during the theatrical run.

Here's some of what we've created
for our clients and, sometimes, for ourselves.
ITCOM
In The Company Of Men (ITCOM) is a conversation series where men discuss the issues and challenges involved in navigating the increasingly dynamic concept of manhood, in a time when traditional notions of masculinity are increasingly unfashionable, if not out of favour. An honest and real look into the minds of contemporary men, ITCOM features frank discussions about the evolving role of males in society, and the impact of shifting cultural and social perspectives on manhood, masculinity and the very nature of what it means to be a man—and the related obligations, challenges and pressures for men.
The Whisper Project
Whispering is known to be one of the most powerful ASMR triggers. The whisper project serves as a sort of social experiment using ASMR and some good Naija humour in a largely sceptical society. It serves as a unique and lighthearted form of entertainment in an increasingly saturated market.
From the first time an author put a pen to paper, to the first time a mother held her newborn child, The first race an athlete ran, a musician's first time on stage. "My First" is a web-series that chooses to explore those fragile but pivotal moments leading to current realities in the life of the storyteller. To retrace the patterns of personality and defining occasions; big or small.
AbOriginal Theatre Playhouse firmly believes in the unique power of the theatre arts to educate, energise, and unite people of different backgrounds.
We do this by combining innovative theatre content, an organic production process, and a continued commitment to the growth of the Nigerian theatre industry through the provision of first-rate theatre productions with intellectual and creative integrity, and possessing mainstream appeal.
Oluronbi: The Musical
A beautiful but barren queen makes a Faustian bargain with the devil—this is Oluronbi: The Musical, a visually stunning and beautifully-paced theatrical spectacle that explores the struggle of Queen Oluronbi with fulfilling her side of the bargain that gives her the gift of childbirth. Oluronbi's success has extended beyond Nigeria's borders, receiving commentary coverage on Mnet's Studio 53 and BEN-TV.
Grip Am!
Written by Nigerian theatre legend Ola Rotimi, Grip Am! is a comedy about the power dynamic between the hardworking "every man" trying to secure his little bit of heaven and the powerful forces standing in his way. A timeless, and always timely, metaphor for the uncertainty of everyday Nigerian life, Grip Am! is also a humorous reminder of the value—and power—of the individual to crerate, and shape, the Nigeria we all aspire to.
An authentically Nigerian adaptation of A View From The Bridge, Arthur Miller's classic study of cultural conflict and emotional self-discovery, Fractures is a compelling tale. of colliding worlds and the loss of control.
A Game of Wits
A two-person play written by critically-lauded playwright Ita Hozaife and starring two of Nigerian theatre's leading lights, Jude Orhorha and Iyabo Amoke, A Game of Wits is a creative interpretation of the age-old "battle of the sexes" which humorously depicted the duplicity and mental games that take place during the stages of the courtship ritual. The production's 2006 performance run received coverage and positive reviews from the NTA television network. The 2011 performance run of A Game of Wits marked a revisit to AbOriginal's initial foray into theatre, having previously hosted the 2006 performance run of A Game of Wits in conjunction with O.N.E Integrated Management.

A post shared by Tighthead Brewing Co (@tightheadbrew)
Former Chicago Bear Is Getting His Own Beer
Joe Dredge
Pat is low key one of the coolest guys to ever suit up for the Bears.
Pat played long snapper in the NFL for 16 seasons, all of them with the Chicago Bears. He holds team records for the most seasons in a Bears uniform and at 245, the most games played for the Bears.
He's also Tommy John's (yes, that Tommy John) son-in-law. That has nothing to do with the beer but it's cool.
It's only fitting that he's rewarded with his own brew.
Pat's pretty excited about it too:


His message said, "Would you be available for a photo shoot on the morning of June 25th?" He didn't have to explain because I knew exactly what he was asking. CJ was ready to ask Sam to marry him and I was going to get to capture that exact moment.
CJ had it all planned out. He invited some of their closest family and friends to Saude Creek Vineyards to help celebrate this most joyous occasion. I waited in anticipation with everyone as CJ and Sam arrived to the vineyard and began making their way out back. Far enough away to keep their conversation private, still I couldn't help but get teary eyed while looking through my lens. Their body language just said it all. So much happiness. So much love. CJ presented Sam with the engagement ring that belonged to her late mother. What a beautiful and meaningful way to honor her.
The celebration continued all afternoon as family and friends surrounded the newly engaged couple. I was so happy to have been a part of it all! It was entirely too hard to narrow down these images so enjoy all the loveliness I've packed into this blog!
Congratulations again, CJ and Sam! Happy planning!


The Ballarat Miners remain undefeated in the Big V youth one men after recording a comfortable 22 point win over cross state rivals the Geelong Supercats. Aggressive first quarter energy from the visitors had the Miners on the back foot early in the contest. But stifling defense and hot shooting saw the home team to chip away at the deficit to take a one point lead heading into half time. Things only got worse for the visitors in the second half as the Miners extended their lead to double digits to clinch the game 112-90. Sharpshooting guard Zach Dunmore was dynamic in victory totaling 30 points on six made pointers - two of which came back to back while the game hung in the balance. Forward Ross Weightman also impressed tallying 11 points and dishing out 10 assists, while Amos Brooks contributed 12 points and 11 rebounds. After getting jumped early by Geelong, head coach Daniel Naggs said it was just a matter of "locking into what they'd set out to do." "The biggest focus was beating them with defensive pressure and trying to control the rebounds," he said. "We knew if we ended up getting the majority of the rebounds on both ends we would control the majority of the play." The win takes the Miners to 6-0 on the season placing them atop the ladder ahead of a clash with the third placed Altona Gators after Easter. The Ballarat Rush however will lick their wounds after their 34 point loss to the Ringwood Hawks in Victorian Youth Championship Women. They currently sit in fifth place on the ladder with a showdown looming with the fourth placed Altona Gators after the break.

Clearly there are valid issues concerning social network sites, data ownership and data portability but this scenario is a bad example for champions of a more open social graph to exploit. Should Facebook allow its members to export profile and contact information?

ICEcore - an open source effort - has seen little activity at all. Its tough to imagine developers getting excited about an open source effort to improve a platform that is already feature-rich. When I think about this open source effort compared to Zimbra or others it still seems very much in the back of the pack. We have only been open source for a few months so the comparison with Zimbra seems a bit unfair.

Amazon.com - The Worst Cross-Merchandising Ever?
I love Amazon. I buy everything there - from toothpaste to food to electronics. They make buying easy. Amazon's finding experience and cross-merchandising technology is so superior to the competition that they are mentioned in nearly every e-commerce discussion I've been a part of.
But last night I received something so bizarre that it made me wonder if Amazon's merchandising talents haven't yet made their way off-line.
I purchased 120 'Doggie Waste Bags' using my Amazon Prime account. The package arrived within 24 hours with a gift: an individual box of Kellogg's Smart Start Healthy Heart Cinnamon Raisin Cereal. Huh?! Cross-promoting cereal with pet poop bags is a strange, strange combination.... even if it's loaded with fiber.


Ram has announced a new partnership with award-winning country music sensation Miranda Lambert. To launch the partnership, Miranda is auctioning off a customized Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn just like the one she drives, with all proceeds going to benefit MuttNation Foundation.
The auction, open for bids until November 15, is just the beginning of a relationship between Lambert and the Ram brand.
You know how much we love dogs here at AskPatty, so that's why we especially appreciate this campaign.

The organization has raised over $2.2 million in the last seven years to help end animal cruelty, neglect, and homelessness. With a winning bid on any of the auction items, you can show your support for the MuttNation mission and help build shelters for better animal care, to increase pet adoption, and to promote responsible pet guardianship in addition to other worthy goals. The 1500 Laramie Longhorn currently carries more than 130 bids and is now bidding at more than $40,000. The actual Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price for the truck (not including taxes or registration, title, and transfer fees) is $51,100.
Special console lid embroidery patch with Miranda Lambert's "Guns & Wings" logo.
Special "Guns & Wings" emblems on the side cab and rear lift gate.
Winning bidder will also receive a personal thank you note from Miranda Lambert for supporting her MuttNation Foundation. The truck is being auctioned on eBay.com, and you can find all the auction fine print here.
Muttnation is also auctioning off tickets to a Miranda Lambert show, several autographed Epiphone PR-150 NA acoustic guitars, and several signed Platinum https://www.mirandalambert.com/ CDs.
According to the Ram Zone, it's a mission and a partnership that Ram Trucks can get behind.

"She values hard work, courage and lives her life to the fullest – the same characteristics that our brand celebrates in our owners." Stay tuned to RamZone to see how the relationship evolves in 2015.

The adult classification is applied when the level of violence reaches a stage where it becomes a depiction of gross violence and/or includes elements of specific types of violence. Gross violence is the most difficult to define since it can be very subjective in many cases, but in general terms it can be classed as the depictions of violence that would make the viewer feel a sense of revulsion. Descriptors shown on the back of the packaging indicate the main reasons why a game has received a particular age rating. There are eight such descriptors: violence, bad language, fear, drugs, sexual, discrimination, gambling and online gameplay with other people.

Q: Connect create-react-app to django backend without having to run build I connected my react app that I made with create-react-app to django by passing it in as a template. I followed the steps shown here: https://studygyaan.com/django/django-react-setup-best-project-structure.
This works but if I want to try out a full backend server by running manage.py runserver, I have to do npm run build on the frontend app all the time. Is there a way to get it so that I could maybe connect the development components to django instead of the build components? Running the build command always takes a bit of time.


Ehrlich's bill (HD 2360), co-sponsored by Sen. Brendan Crighton of Lynn and Reps. David LeBoeuf of Worcester, Patrick Kearney of Scituate, Jose Tosado of Springfield, and Andy Vargas of Haverhille would give the commission a year to report its findings.
The panel would include lawmakers, gubernatorial appointees, representatives of journalism schools, news industry groups, and the Massachusetts Municipal Association.
"Although the problem in Massachusetts isn't as bad as in other states, the consolidation of local newspapers across the state into the hands of large corporate chains, mostly based out of state, is affecting local coverage, and it's cause for concern," she said.
Gatehouse Media, whose publications span 555 markets in 37 states, owns nine dailies and more than 100 weekly outlets in Massachusetts. The Colorado-based Digital First Media shook up the state's news landscape last year when it acquired the Boston Herald, bringing the tabloid under the same ownership as The Sun of Lowell and The Sentinel and Enterprise in Fitchburg.
In late January, the media companies Gannett, BuzzFeed, and Verizon Media Group all announced layoffs, cutting a total that's been estimated at more than 1,000 jobs.
