Here is a PHP script example of trimming strings:
<?php $text = "\t \t Hello world!\t \t "; $leftTrimmed = ltrim($text); $rightTrimmed = rtrim($text); $bothTrimmed = trim($text); print("leftTrimmed = ($leftTrimmed)\n"); print("rightTrimmed = ($rightTrimmed)\n"); print("bothTrimmed = ($bothTrimmed)\n"); ?>
This script will print:

February Preview: Steampunk Romance and Erotica
My plans are always bigger than I can make happen, and while I wanted to look at the entire Steampunk Trilogy this month, I'll likely be focusing solely on "Walt and Emily." I'll take a look at Gail Carriger's Soulless again, revisiting it beyond review to ruminate on the elements of Austenian comedy she brings to the first two books in the Parasol Protectorate series. I'm going to review some erotica as well, including Ora Le Brocq's Steampunk Erotica and a few selections from Circlet press: Peter Tupper's The Innocent's Progress and Lionel Bramble's 1901: A Steam Odyssey. I'd like to get the chance to talk corsets, burlesque, and Baz Luhrman's Moulin Rouge! We may even bring up that steampunk chestnut, Katie MacAlister's Steamed as well. Let's see what the month holds. It is a short one, after all, and who knows how much work I'll actually get done if I'm reading these after the kids have gone to bed...
To get started, check out my original review of Gail Carriger's Soulless, and my thoughts on Nathalie Gray's Full Steam Ahead by Nathalie Gray.
All apologies to Ricky Pai for using his image of model Yaya Han in this post without consent, but I couldn't find a contact address, but really loved the model shot.
5 comments:
A whole month dedicated to steampunk romance!! Yay and thank you, it's an exciting sub-genre. I enjoyed Soulless and Nathalie Gray's book too and I thought your reviews were spot on. Another one getting talked about a lot is The Iron Duke by Meljean Brooke.ReplyDelete
I'll be coming back here often during the month to find out what else you're discussing.
Thanks for the mention of "Innocent's Progress." I look forward to your review. If you have any questions, please let me know.ReplyDelete
The model in the pic is gorgeous. The Steampunk outfit only adds to that.ReplyDelete

Symrise's Chrysantheme (CAS# 69929-17-5; 1-(2,4-dimethylcyclohex-3-en-1-yl)-2,2-dimethylpropan-1-one) is a fragrance material that offers an intense green note similar to that of chrysanthemum leaves, with fruity, grapefruitlike accents. It helps create an elegant bitterness in grapefruit and coniferous accords, as well as offering complexity and depth to white floral scents. It can also help offer a lively fruitiness when blended with lactones. It is recommended for use at levels of 0.05–3% in a range of applications.

Guest opinion: Immigration reform core to apple farming
Washington State's 39,000 farms, spread throughout our 39 counties, are a key economic driver for our state. We are the top producers in the country for apples, sweet cherries, concord grapes and red raspberries. Washington State University noted in 2011 that the agriculture community contributed $1.5 billion in wages to the state's economy, $219 million in tax revenue, $16 billion in economic impact and 82,000 jobs.
As an apple farmer, I am justifiably proud of the fact that our state is "The Apple Capitol of the World." Our apples are sold in all 50 states and in more than 50 countries. While innovation and technology have brought about many changes in farming, they still have not replaced the workers required to hand prune and hand pick the largest apple crop in the country. It takes approximately 70,000 harvest workers each year to get the crop off the trees. For a perishable crop such as apples, the delay of even a few days of harvest workers can make the difference between apples that achieve top price and those that are destined for the processing market.
People are familiar with many of the daily challenges farmers face, such as the weather, pests and blight, but there is one challenge those not involved in the industry are generally unaware of: the availability of workers. The state's agriculture department released a report, "The Future of Farming: Strategic Plan for Washington Agriculture 2020 and Beyond," that outlined five challenges that must be overcome to ensure that agriculture remains a vital economic player. The third of the five challenges listed is labor or, more precisely, the fact that "the future of farming here will be heavily influenced by how effectively the labor problem is addressed."
Without a solid, skilled and dependable workforce, families like mine will be unable to continue in the fruit business. For the apple industry, and other industries ranging from berries to vegetables, to survive in Washington and nationwide, we need a legal, reliable, stable and skilled workforce. Farmers will convert to low-value grain crops or fail altogether if we are left to live with the status quo. We will end up exporting jobs, and be left in the position of importing our food. So, not only will failure to pass a comprehensive immigration bill put tens of thousands of farmers' livelihoods at risk, it also imperils our economy and our country's food safety.
Congress last made changes to our immigration policy 27 years ago, which is more than sufficient time to prove that the system is broken. The Senate has taken the first step toward a new system by passing a comprehensive immigration reform bill that includes provisions that would ensure farmers have access to a legal and stable workforce. It also takes important steps to strengthen border security. Now, we need the House of Representatives to do the same when they return to Washington in September. I crossed party lines and endorsed Sen. Maria Cantwell last year to send a message to my fellow Republicans that unless they become part of the immigration solution, they will lose the support of thousands of Washington fruit growers.
Farmers here in Washington and across the country cannot afford to put off this issue any longer. Our livelihoods and those of the people who work for us depend on Congress creating a common-sense 21st-century immigration program.

Join our Twitter Storm to #BanTheBag
The next few weeks are critical for increasing community pressure on the three states that are yet to commit to a ban on single use plastic bags before the annual environment ministers meeting held at the end of June.
We need your continued support to help increase community pressure on New South Wales, Western Australia and Victoria to ensure that all Australian states commit to a ban. As part of our accelerating campaign in the runup to the meeting:
Please join the Twitter Storm on Tuesday 23 May (World Turtle Day) from 12pm till 1pm AEST.
A twitter storm is a tweet event where many people post at the same time on a topic using a designated hashtag in order to make the hashtag trend. This will be noticed by the state Premiers and also help spread the message through social media.
Please do not 'retweet' but instead copy/paste the suggested tweets or make up your own with #BanTheBag and #NoMoreExcuses hashtags and @GladysB @MarkMcGowanMP and @DanielAndrewsMP. You can also attach pictures on littered bags.
The suggested tweets are:
The community is ready. Australia needs to #BanTheBag #NoMoreExcuses @GladysB @MarkMcGowanMP @DanielAndrewsMP

Give Our Oceans a Voice - NSW, VIC & WA Need to Ban the Bag
We need to ensure our oceans have a voice!
The next couple of months are critical for increasing political pressure to achieve a ban on plastic bags.
Plastic bags are only used for 12 minutes on average before they are thrown away! Many of them end up in our oceans and have deadly consequences for marine life for hundreds of years. It's time NSW, VIC and WA banned the bag!
We just can't afford to wait any longer and we have all the information we need to justify a ban. Four states have already phased out plastic bags, with QLD joining just recently. The upcoming environment ministers meeting in June 2017 is a key moment to put pressure on the current NSW, VIC & WA Government. The time to act is now!
You have the power to make a positive difference for our oceans and marine life and to engage with a topic you are passionate about. Your contribution would be an important part of our push on plastic bags in the coming weeks.
To help our oceans and make our message be heard add your voice today:
1. Email the Premier, Environment Minister and Opposition Leader in NSW, VIC & WA, explaining why you care and why this issue is important to you is the most effective tool of advocacy.
2. Send a letter to your local paper asking for a ban on single use lightweight plastic bags.
Commonwealth Plan on Marine Debris
It's time to step up your game, Victoria!
Your hard work is paying off! NSW, QLD, ACT and WA all have committed to introduce a deposit scheme on bottles and cans in the years to come. We now need your support to get Victoria to join them. It doesn't matter if you live in another state, taking action today will help protect our wonderful oceans and clean up Australia.Read more

Queensland bag ban discussion paper released
The Queensland State Government has announced a plan to ban on lightweight, single-use plastics bags by 2018, and this includes degradable and biodegradable bags, which are no better for the environment than standard plastic bags.
A public discussion paper was released late 2016, with a deadline of 27th February 2017. The response from the public was overwhelming, with the government receiving over 26000 submissions, sending a clear message that the people want action on plastic bags.
Not only that, but the submissions also made it very clear that plastic bags are just the start, and further needs to be done to reduce plastic litter. We are told by government insiders that this is being taken very seriously.
Our heartfelt thank you to everyone who made a submission!
