"Autobiography" (excerpt)
Saturday, May 21, 2016
So I finished my Master of Fine Arts degree—technically as of March 31, although I'm still working on a couple of assistantships. But I got my diploma in the mail today.
This is one of the weirder things I did in grad school. It was a project I did for a Graphic Design Studio class, and the only stipulation was that you had to make a collection of… something. I chose to do a "collection" of twelve books that shaped who I am as a person. Not necessarily books that I still hold dear, but that really connected with me when I read them.
So, I call it an autobiography, although obviously it's not. I decided to make a story scroll using clippings from these books, cut and pasted to build a NEW story (a creation story). I made scroll handles for it from wooden dowels (painted bronze) and bronze drawer handles on all four ends.
It was roughly 6¾ feet long if you completely unrolled the scroll, so I'll only show the first bit here. You can click through to the Patreon page I posted it on a couple of years ago if you want to read the whole thing. I made it public so anyone can see it.
The books are (in no particular order): The Book of Job, translated by Stephen Mitchell; The Illustrated Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking; Cages by Dave McKean; Cat's Eye by Margaret Atwood; Epileptic by David B; Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman; Hamlet's Mill by Giorgio de Santillana and Hertha von Dechen; Justice League: A New Beginning by Keith Giffen, J. M. DeMatteis and Kevin Maguire; Metaphors We Live By by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson; The Wisdom of Insecurity by Alan W. Watts; and The Complete Winnie-the-Pooh & The House at Pooh Corner by A. A. Milne. (The Pooh books are technically two separate volumes, so it's really thirteen, but I now own a single-volume collection of them. I also read Justice League in the issues first, not TPB, so whatever.)
Enjoy! Or just kind of squint your eyes and wonder why this is something that graduate students spend their time doing. But hopefully you'll enjoy it.

The magneto-rotational instability (MRI) is currently the best candidate for supplying the anomalous viscosity required to drive accretion in protoplanetary disks. However, most past studies have examined the MRI under ideal MHD conditions, or considered only Ohmic dissipation. We show that the inclusion of dust grains and the effects of ambipolar diffusion can strongly suppress the MRI . The resulting accretion rates are at least an order of magnitude lower than observed, indicating that substantial grain growth and settling is required for the MRI to be a viable mechanism; this is consistent with the growth/settling observed in these disks. Moreover, the accretion is also spatially and temporally variable, producing over- and under-densities in the disk that have strong consequences for planet formation and inhibition of migration.

SAN JOSE, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 07/21/14 -- SPYRUS today announced a new highly ruggedized water-resistant version of their Portable Workplace, Secure Portable Workplace, WorkSafe and WorkSafe Pro portable SSD live drives Microsoft certified for Windows To Go 8.1 designed for environmentally challenging portable computing environments such as military, law enforcement, construction, or workplaces with extreme weather and temperature conditions. The drive can function in temperatures as low as 0C degrees or as high as 70C degrees, and function if accidentally submerged in water. These drives are ideal for a new generation of rugged laptops and portable computers.
Available in 32, 64, 128, and 256 GB versions, the PKI enabled WorkSafe and WorkSafe Pro drives address a rapidly developing need for trusted mobility solutions that transform almost any laptop or desktop into a trustworthy workspace using RSA or Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). The live drives provide contractors, remote workers, teachers, students, and telecommuters with a complete operating environment that includes extensive features that can be tailored for a wide variety of use cases, including managed read-only options that have no persistent data storage to mitigate data exfiltration.
"Technical leadership, hardware security, FIPS 140-2 Level 3 PKI capabilities, and ultra-high performance make the new rugged SPYRUS family of live drives the choice for next-generation Windows To Go platforms," said Tom Dickens, SPYRUS COO. "By using the new rugged, portable drives, businesses, government agencies and educational institutions can finally realize significant cost savings by repurposing employee-owned or corporate legacy computers."
Additionally, the entire family of drives can be configured to have Data Vault storage compartments externally accessible from the host platform for use as a secure USB storage device. SPYRUS live drives implement the most advanced XTS-AES 256 mode in all hardware encrypting versions and features the unique ToughBoot defense of the Windows operating system, while multiple security functions secure documents and identity credentials from tampering and theft with layered hardware and software encryption, depending on the particular model.
WorkSafe and WorkSafe Pro live drives provide a made-in-USA, trusted Windows 8.1 endpoint for network access and simultaneously protect enterprise networks with multi-factor authentication using smart card digital certificates. These drives are an industry first in a family of live drives that embed FIPS 140-2 Level 3 hardware smart card chips to provide tamper-proof digital certificates for authentication and encryption. WorkSafe Pro adds AES-256 XTS hardware encryption for the highest assurance applications. Enterprises can leverage their investment in public key and smart card infrastructures, extending their trusted foundation for smart card login, VPN access, secure email, and authenticated online collaboration.
The SPYRUS ToughBoot loader, digitally signed by Microsoft, mitigates against hacking attacks during the boot sequence when using the UEFI Secure Boot available on newer computers. If any tampering or malfunction of hardware or firmware is detected, the boot process will not continue.
The SPYRUS Windows To Go drives maintain compatibility with the optional SPYRUS Enterprise Management System (SEMS). Combining a public key with a smart card-enabled echo system and SPYRUS security applications extends a true end-to-end security approach for enterprise smart card and PKI infrastructure to mobile users. With SEMS device management, enterprise administrators can centrally register, block/unblock, revoke, set policies, audit, and "kill" SPYRUS Windows To Go drives.

I looked and couldn't find an adequate answer for this so I'm turning the masses for help.
I have a php form that when submitted enters the field data into a mysql DB table and then goes on to PayPal for payment. One of the table columns have a value of either "Paid" or "Unpaid". The default is "Unpaid".
I have everything working correctly with the payment.php file from PayPal and utilizing the IPN, in that when a payment is made all the verification protocols work and I end up with transaction information in another DB table called "payments" the way I'm supposed to.
In a very long-winded way, what I'm trying to get at is this:
When all the IPN stuff works and the payment is verified, I want the value of the Paid/Unpaid column for that entry to change from "Unpaid" to "Paid".
I'm having a tough time figuring it out. Appreciate all the help!

Peruvians March For Marriage Equality
Sandy Rios Criticizes Openly Gay Army Secretary Eric Fanning
Stephen Amell 'Very Happy' For Colton Haynes Coming Out Gay
Poll: Americans Divided On Transgender Bathroom Laws
Maroon 5 Cancels Shows In Charlotte, Raleigh Over Anti-Gay Law
Robert Jeffress, senior pastor of the
influential First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas, has warned that
gay marriage will lead to a government crackdown of Christian radio
Appearing on American Family
Association's (AFA) Today's Issues radio program, Jeffress
noted the inevitability of marriage equality once it reaches the U.S.
Supreme Court.
"If that's the case, then I think you
can rightly assume that any speech that is against that [will be
prohibited]. For example, on the radio. What about stations who
have licenses that are granted by the FCC? Can the FCC support
stations that engage in hate speech or intolerance or that
discriminate against the constitutional rights of others?" Jeffress
rhetorically asked.
"I think that could very well be the
basis for denying licenses to Christian stations around the country
that want to broadcast the truth," he added.
at Right Wing Watch, Kyle Mantyla agreed with an eye roll: "Yes,
this is probably exactly what will happen, just as the government
systematically shut down Christian radio stations for opposing
abortion after the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the right to
choose back in 1973, which is why we never hear the Religious Right
talk about this issue these days."
Also it should be noted Jeffress'
incorrect assumption that all Christians oppose LGBT rights.
Last year, Jeffress compared gay
sex to plugging a 120-volt television into a 220-volt outlet.

In-depth debate over the county budget is likely to take place this morning in a special called meeting of the Spencer County Fiscal Court.

The other day I ran across an interesting article about colors and how we see them. It seems that there is some question whether we can really see colors if we don't have a name for them.
I've always wondered about this, because I've noticed that my wife often calls one blouse "eggplant" and another "maroon." To me, they are both just purple–one a little darker maybe, but still just purple.

Egypt is considering buying Indian wheat as a way to diversify its sources, an Egyptian minister told an Indian newspaper, as the top global importer seeks to ensure supply through an economic crisis.
Changes to Egypt's food safety law could make it easier for exporters to work with it, Investment Minister Osama Saleh told The Hindu Business Line in an interview published on its website on Tuesday.
"Yes, we are definitely looking at India as an importing country for wheat. We want to have several diversified sources and not just the EU or the US or Canada," he said.
He said Egypt's Food Safety Measures law was being amended and would give more flexibility to exporters.
"Issues of quality control apply to both wheat and meat. So it should help exporters of both commodities," he said on a visit to India as part of a trade delegation travelling with Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi.
Indian wheat is generally lower in quality than European and North American produce and more comparable to locally-grown Egyptian wheat which requires blending with imports for use in bread-making.
Egypt relies heavily on imports to feed its 84 million people; last year around half of the wheat they consumed was imported.
Its strategic stocks of wheat have fallen to 2.207 million tonnes, enough to last 89 days, a cabinet report said last week. Economic turmoil has made it harder to arrange payments for wheat imports. The pace of purchases has tumbled since the start of the year.
While stocks have fallen, the government also raised its projection of the local harvest. The agriculture minister on Monday forecast domestic wheat production of 9.475 million tonnes this season.
India, the world's second largest producer, plans to export record volumes of wheat this year. Grain stocks have already surpassed its secure storage capacity of 47 million tonnes, risking damage from pests and weather. Another bumper harvest of some 92 million tonnes is on the way.

Volvo Trucks in Sweden is about to be the first to market a methane-powered truck for long-haul operations in Europe.
Volvo's new FM MethaneDiesel truck is actually powered by up to 75% methane gas. The idea of a dual-fuel truck is rather interesting, I thought, and of course it generates something like 10% lower CO2 emissions than a diesel engine does.

This powerful exfoliator mimics the results of professional microdermabrasion, minus the potential for redness and sensitivity.
I have really sensitive skin, made way worse by the dryness of winter, and this ripped my skin apart. Dead skin stayed stuck to my face and moisturizer only seemed to sit on top and not sink in after using this. It has great reviews so I'll try again in the spring, but absolutely cannot use in the extreme weather.1
I typically stay away from harsh chemicals, especially on my face. However, I did like this product. I would definitely say to stay away from using it more than the recommended 3 times per week. I used it about 2 times per week since I have such sensitive skin. It wasn't too harsh, and I liked it.4
I thought this product had adorable floral packaging and had a nice natural scent. The only thing that it lacked was effectiveness regarding moisturizing dry skin. My skin on my hands becomes extremely dry in the winter months and this product didn't do the job. Most likely won't purchase full size.4

Paris aims high: Total re-conquest of Mali's north
French advance towards jihadist strongholds comes amid reports that Qaeda linked militants were abandoning some of their positions.
Middle East Online
'We will not leave any pockets of resistance'
BAMAKO - French troops on Sunday consolidated gains in Mali's Islamist-held north as Paris said the aim was its "total reconquest" and Russia, Canada and Germany offered vital aid for the offensive.
The French advance towards the jihadist strongholds came amid reports that the Al-Qaeda linked militants were abandoning some of their positions and converging on the mountainous region of Kidal, their northernmost bastion, 1,500 kilometres (900 miles) from Bamako and near the border with Algeria.
Kidal was the first town seized by an amalgam of Islamist militants and Tuareg separatist groups in March last year. The two sides then had a falling out and the Islamists have since gained the upper hand in the vast desert north.
"The goal is the total reconquest of Mali. We will not leave any pockets" of resistance, French Defence Minister Le Drian said on France 5 television.
Le Drian said seven French citizens taken hostage by Islamist militants in Niger and Mali in recent years were alive, adding there had been "contacts with the hostage-takers".
There had been fears over their fate since the start of the French military intervention in Mali, which sparked a brazen hostage attack in neighbouring Algeria that rocked the world.
The 72-hour stand-off ended in scores of deaths.
Fifty Senegalese soldiers arrived in the Mali capital Bamako, taking the number of African troops there to 150. The planned force will comprise 5,800 soldiers, but deployment has been slow, hampered by cash and logistical constraints.
And a radical Islamist group Ansaru on Sunday claimed responsibility for an attack in central Nigeria that killed two soldiers who were due to be deployed to Mali, injuring five others.
The regional powerhouse last week boosted its troop commitment for Mali to 1,200 soldiers from 900 planned earlier.
In a statement in poor English, Ansaru said: "We have successfully execute our first attempt in (crippling) the Nigerian army troops (whose aim was) to demolish the Islamic empire of Mali."
French troops on the ground meanwhile said they were buttressing their positions.
"The deployment towards the north... which began 24 hours ago, is on course with troops inside the towns of Niono and Sevare," Lieutenant Colonel Emmanuel Dosseur told reporters, referring to key frontline outposts.
Niono is about 350 kilometres northeast of the Malian capital and 60 kilometres south of Diabaly, which was seized nearly a week ago by Islamists and then heavily bombed by French planes.
Sevare has a strategically important airport which could help serve as a base for operations further north. It is about 630 kilometres northeast of Bamako.
The town is also near Konna, whose seizure by Islamists on January 10 sparked the French military intervention in the former colony against the forces occupying northern Mali for about nine months.
"We are in a phase of pushing forward," said a French lieutenant-colonel in charge of operations in Niono and the town of Diabaly, whose fate remains unclear.
Defence Minister Le Drian however said that "everything points to a favourable evolution of the situation in Diabaly in the coming hours."
The region where the towns are located is known for housing the most martial and fanatical Islamists.
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said Russia had offered to help transport troops and supplies to Mali and Canada had extended help to bring African troops to the country.
Asked how African troops would be transported, Fabius said "there is transportation that will be partly by the Africans themselves, partly by the Europeans and partly by the Canadians."
"And the Russians have proposed to provide means of transport for the French, so it's fairly diverse," he said.
The announcement came a day after an emergency west African summit of the ECOWAS regional bloc called on the United Nations "to immediately provide financial and logistical backing for the deployment of MISMA", the African force.
Germany Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle responded to the appeal, saying "the African troops need financial aid" and pledging to do its bit without setting an amount.

SANTA ANA, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 05/05/14 -- Goodwill of Orange County, a social-enterprise organization that helps people facing barriers secure purpose-fulfilling jobs, is happy to announce the public debut of its revamped, tech-enabled custom "Smiley Box" donation bins. The sleekly designed bins represent the first major technology upgrade in the history of the traditional donation box and will serve as a model for the rest of the county to emulate. Each Smiley Box features high-tech capabilities that create an experiential connection with users, making donation giving an exciting event.
From the Addy Award-winning custom song "Find the Good" by kid-favorite, and Orange County natives The Aquabats! (of Yo Gabba Gabba! fame), that plays whenever a donation is made, to the QR code-enabled ability to quickly obtain a receipt, and sensors that detect when the bin is full and ready for Goodwill pick-up which saves unnecessary trips to pick up donations -- Smiley Boxes make donation giving an elevated experience for everyone involved.
The 230-cubic feet bins emblazoned with the iconic Goodwill logo were created, designed and manufactured in Orange County. Innovated by Joe Burke, Goodwill of Orange County's VP of marketing and community development -- and named by his six-year-old daughter Judith; CAD design by a local company -- Form, Feel & Function of Westminster, Calif.; and custom built by Precision Metal of Placentia, Calif., Smiley Boxes instill a sense of community pride for those living in Orange County -- also serving as a form of public art.
"We wanted to express our gratitude and deliver a smile with every donation," said Burke. "The more donations we receive, the more jobs we can create for people who truly deserve good jobs."
Goodwill of Orange County is pursuing the IP rights on the design and pieces of the functionality, they continue to be an innovator in the industry by providing new models and setting new standards for other Goodwill locations nationwide to follow. "We priced these out overseas, but really wanted to keep the project close to home, especially if we could impact jobs and companies in Orange County," Burke added. Albertsons collaborated with Goodwill to have the first two Smiley Boxes installed at its stores in Orange and Rancho Santa Margarita. The organization hopes to roll out 20 bins of various sizes across Orange County before the end of the year, and is considering adding gamification or augmented reality to the experience.
"We are proud to be the first recipients of Goodwill of Orange County's Smiley Boxes," said Rick Crandall, environmental manager of Albertsons. "They are cool, fun, and getting a lot of attention -- and best of all they truly support the good work Goodwill of Orange County does in the community."
For 90 years, Goodwill of Orange County has supported individuals facing barriers; helping them secure and keep jobs that provide purpose, pride and dignity. Goodwill of Orange County places more than 300 individuals in permanent employment at local companies like Cox Communications and California Pizza Kitchen every year. The organization operates 22 thrift stores and 42 donation centers in Orange County -- and more than 90 cents of every dollar that comes into Goodwill directly funds its various programs including job training and education, veterans' services and the Goodwill Fitness Center. To learn more, visit ocgoodwill.org.
About Goodwill of Orange County: Since 1924, Goodwill of Orange County has been in the business of helping people who are facing barriers to enter the workforce in a meaningful, fulfilling manner. Founded on the belief that every person should have the opportunity to achieve the independence that work provides, Goodwill is most recognized for being the conduit where donated goods are sold in America's favorite thrift stores to generate the revenue that provides the services to those who face employment challenges. Celebrating its 90th year in 2014, Goodwill of Orange County has supported thousands of Orange County residents since its inception by creating and providing quality training and employment services to empower its program participants to be productive and independent. The nonprofit organization has dozens of programs that support this effort, including the Goodwill Fitness Center, Orange County's only facility specially designed for people suffering from chronic illnesses and physical disabilities; its veterans' advocacy program, Enduring Independence, which helps veterans and their families transition to civilian life through the power of work; and its Assistive Technology Exchange Center (ATEC), which provides access to more than 1,000 state-of-the-art technology devices for children and adults with disabilities. These are just a few of Goodwill of Orange County's innovative programs that have served those facing barriers in Orange County for the past nine decades. In 2012, Goodwill was named one of Orange County's Most Trusted Brands. To learn more about Goodwill of Orange County, visit ocgoodwill.org.

Joe the Plumber, actually Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, became an instant celebrity when John McCain mentioned him (several times) in the third presidential debate for the 2008 election.

Wurzelbacher now has his own agents and is reported to have been offered a country music contract with a major label. It has yet to be seen whether "Joe the Plumber" can turn his 15 minutes of fame into something more sustainable, or if he should stick to his plumbing gig.
