WebmastersRe: Please Help With This Script by bakenda(m): 4:01pm On Jun 21, 2015
To run a shortcode from within a script, use the do_shortcode() function,
in your case, something like this:

echo do_shortcode( '[contact-form-7 id="39592" title="Orders"]' );

Wrong calculations, the wrong step is cancelling out (10-10)/(10-10), that is dividing 0 by 0,
0/0 does not have a definite answer, you cant divide by zero, it is illegal.

MrAnonymous:
So how do you then sort the topics to show them according to when you added them?
You can create a timestamp column for that, if you don't have already.

So the query becomes something like:

Select * from topicstable where status=1 order by frontpage_timestamp

You run that query on the homepage.

FamilyDad Gives 10-year-old Daughter A Very Public Lesson In Acting Her Age by bakenda(op): 5:45pm On Oct 30, 2014
https://s.yimg.com/cd/resizer/2.0/FIT_TO_WIDTH-w422/a88263d9f80a3e31028f06148a59285befeba626.jpg

When Kevin Jones discovered that his 10-year-old daughter had created several secret social media accounts and was dating a boy, he was understandably upset. His response was to dress her in a pink T-shirt that reads: “I’m 10 Years Old” on the front and “5th Grader” on the back. She also donned barrettes, pink shoes, and a Sofia the First cartoon backpack. Jones posted photographs from all angles on his Facebook page as punishment for her rule-breaking, along with an update that reads, “Here’s the consequence behind her actions. An age-defining shirt. Yes people she is 5’9” & 10 years old.” His full post is below:

https://s.yimg.com/cd/resizer/2.0/FIT_TO_WIDTH-w492/572cc84525d5d72a606fe769783e27c2231cd7b8.jpg

The result? The post went viral, collecting more than a quarter-million likes and 80,000+ shares (not to mention nearly 4,000 comments). Most Facebook commenters have been supportive of Jones’s tactics. Precious Rorie Green wrote, “I love this. A real caring, loving, and concerned father.” Tosha Stephens added, “Kudos! Our daughters need more influential fathers like you! She’ll thank you in the long run!”

Other commenters, however, have objected to Jones’s public form of punishment. On Jezebel’s story about the situation, YolandiVisser wrote, “I definitely don’t think the father’s intentions were bad, but whether he meant to or not he publicly humiliated this girl at an age where anything that happens to her is going to end up being very formative. And I think being shamed in front of all of the internet is a pretty big deal to a young girl’s self esteem. That’s something she’s going to remember forever.”



Jones not the first parent to choose public humiliation through social media as punishment, as the tactic has become increasingly popular. Last year, for example, a California mom upset by her 11-year-old daughter’s twerking, forced her to stand on the corner of a busy intersection holding a sign that read, “I was disrespecting my parents by twerking at a school dance.” Similarly, a Utah woman who discovered her soon-to-be-stepdaughter had been bullying a classmate over her “sleazy” Daisy Dukes punished the girl by forcing her to wear dowdy thrift shop clothes, then posting the photos to Facebook, causing the 10-year-old great embarrassment.

So are these parents exercising creative discipline and setting good limits, or have they gone too far? We asked Dr. Stacey Radin, psychologist and founder and CEO of Unleashed NY, a social justice program for middle school girls: Should parents publicly post kids’ punishments like this?

“I would not encourage public humiliation,” Radin, who is also author of the forthcoming “Brave Girls: Raising Young Women With Passion and Purpose to Become Powerful Leaders,” tells Yahoo Parenting. “Maybe [Jones] was anxious and wanted to stop her, but put yourself in this daughter’s position — ashamed, embarrassed. Those aren’t the feelings you want to create. Parents should be building up their kids, not tearing them down.”


Radin understands why some people may be reacting with a “good for this dad” attitude, but she says there are more layers to this issue — it’s not simply a joke post, and Jones’s actions could create a dangerous pattern. “If you set up a power struggle like this, she’ll up the ante as a teenager,” Radin warns.

She suggests that a private conversation is the best way to handle this type of situation. “It’s very common to have a fake social media account,” says Radin, adding that it’s also not okay. “It’s illegal until she’s 13, so tell her that. Talk to her, and explain the consequences of social media — make sure she understands that being online means that everybody in the world who wants to see you can see you, it’s not just your friends.” Stress that having social media accounts at age 10 is a safety issue, and that your job is to keep her safe, she explains.

Then shut down the accounts and say firmly, “This is over.” Radin advises telling a child, “You weren’t strong enough to say no to social media, but as your parent, I know that you’re three years away from this being legal so there’s a clear boundary here.” Inform her that the trust is broken and you’re going to be more watchful of her online activity — out of love. “That’s being a protecting parent,” says Radin. “What this dad did was not protective.”



With the boy issue, Radin recommends talking to her about the family rules and asking her why she felt it was okay to break them. “Create a dialogue and listen to her concerns,” she advises. And in terms of pretending to be older, Radin encourages parents to think about their young daughters’ internal self-images: “She’s growing up, so she’s experimenting with dressing older — that’s normal. Give her a safe space to do that by putting on makeup at home or fixing her hair with friends at a sleepover. Have her wash her face before she goes out, but know that she’s gaining confidence and trying new things.”

Radin says that if this daughter was starting to mature and feel confident — and that’s a good thing, with boundaries — her father very likely just damaged that in one second by pressing “post” publicly. “This action takes her self-esteem down ten notches,” she says. “A parent’s job is to build self-esteem with parameters and limits. But this strips away at it.”

Jobs/VacanciesRe: The Over-hyping Of First Class Honours In Nigeria by bakenda(m): 6:48am On Sep 02, 2014
Gorimakpa: My dear you are still in a relatively good situation. You have been in the labour market for only three months, which I do not consider long enough to provoke angst or despondency......

As incredible as it sounds, I intentionally did not make 1st Class because I already knew the implications in a country like Nigeria. It puts too much pressure on you and makes it more humiliating when things don't go your way after graduation. I easily made a 'strong 2.1' even with more than enough social life and extra-curricular activities. In spite of my 2.1, I have not been able to secure the sort of job I have always wanted, and I do not think it would have been any different if I made a 1st Class; probably would have been more humiliating and difficult to bear. Countless times I've done well in aptitude tests and interviews, only to later find out that some barely-literate dolts (with due respect) who can hardly string a decent sentence in English got the jobs through their connections and other back-door means. Sometimes when you interact with the characters that get employed in these great establishments (NCC, NNPC, NERC, Nigerian Breweries, etc), feelings of humiliation and sadness overwhelm you because you know that under normal and fair conditions, they are no match for you.

I happen to have a high standard in terms of employment, with a preference for government MDAs or multinational companies. All the small one-man company jobs or bank/marketing jobs that I have come across are just not my kind of thing, so for some time now I have opted for self-employment - earning a decent living by providing niche services with my own knowledge and skills. The income is not bad at all; certainly better than most of these small companies and even banks can pay entry level employees, with plenty freedom and flexibility for that matter. Sometimes I earn up to N100k for a week's work; other times I earn much less or nothing at all during dry spells, but it's all good. I am still looking out for my dream jobs - especially federal government jobs. Unfortunately, class of degree or even competence are rarely considered for these kinds of jobs. You can be a dullard with a pass degree for all they care, as long as you can get one senator or traditional ruler to intervene on your behalf, you will get the job. It's really sad, but there has to be a way somehow, one day.
I like your English, you sabi book true true.

Let's try this first, download a fresh copy of the version you are using, and upload the
file 'class-wp.php' in the wp-includes folder to the corresponding location on your server,
use an ftp program or cpanel file manager.

Let's see how it goes.

WebmastersFeatures To Expect In Wordpress 4.0 by bakenda(op): 4:45pm On Jul 25, 2014
I came across this, and am very excited.....

First there is anticipation, then there is hype and then there is the product. The release of WordPress 4.0 Beta version has put all the hype surrounding it to rest. While it can’t be said WordPress 4.0 is revolutionary, it is definitely evolutionary, that too right from the word Go. In this case though we can say right from the word Install. Here is what to expect of the latest release from the house of WordPress.

Localize your Website with WordPress 4.0

While the previous versions of WordPress supported localization, it was faintly tedious to localize your website. It involved manually uploading the translation files. Enter WordPress 4.0 and localization is made simpler. WordPress 4.0 detects the language of your browser. If it is not English then WordPress prompts you to choose a language of your choice. It also downloads ‘PO’ and ‘MO’ files required for translation.
https://wisdmlabs.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/choose-language-new.jpg

Media Library

A far as user interface is concerned you will notice a distinct change in the media library layout. By default the media library is displayed as a grid view as opposed to the list view we saw in the previous WordPress versions. However if your preferences lie in the list view of the media library then worry not. WordPress 4.0 provides an option to switch back to the list view.
https://wisdmlabs.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/media-library-grid-view-1024x490.jpg

Plugin Search

The search result for new plugins shows up as a grid paving way for a better user experience. WordPress is calling this view a plugin card table. However it does not add much value to the functionality of plugin search feature.
https://wisdmlabs.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/plug-in-search-1024x490.jpg

Moreover, when you click on a certain plugin in WordPress 4.0 it opens as a modal pop up and displays the header image that is set in the WordPress plugin repository page for the plugin. The plugin can be installed both from the modal pop up or the grid view. It’s up to you!
https://wisdmlabs.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/plugin-header-wordpress-4.0-1024x490.jpg

Posting Made Easy in WordPress 4.0

One more feature that will come as a great relief is included in the formatting section. Here the menu bar in the editor will now be fixed on the top of the page even as the user scrolls down. So, now you can spend more of your time editing and less of your time scrolling. Sounds great…doesn’t it?

Another welcome change in this section is that embedding videos in your post has now become a cake walk. All you have to do is enter your video url in the WYSIWYG editor and WordPress 4.0 embeds the video preview in the page edit screen as an iframe. This works for your youtube, vimeo and dailymotion videos. However this does not work for metacafe hosted videos. So, if you want to embed metacafe videos then unfortunately you will have to stick to the manual method.
https://wisdmlabs.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Untitled-8-1024x491.jpg

Widgets Customizing Panel

One more change that has been made in WordPress 4.0 is in the Themes Customization section. Here the widgets gets their own customization panel. This panel is simple to use and offers a better user experience. It can be used to add and remove widgets. These changes will get reflected in the Appearance -> Widgets section.
https://wisdmlabs.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/widgets-1024x490.jpg

Overall its a job well done by the WordPress core team. The features do not disappoint. This update will definitely make using WordPress a more enjoyable experience. So if you like what you see 27th August 2014 is the date to watch out for…hopefully ;-)

Feel free to comment about what you think of these latest features in WordPress.

Art, Graphics & VideoIncredible Watermelon Art! by bakenda(op): 2:15pm On Jul 14, 2014
Pumpkin carving is only fun during the fall. When it comes to summer, it’s all about getting crafty with other things, like juicy watermelons.

Instead of eating watermelons, Clive Cooper, a Vancouver-based pumpkin carver, would rather turn them into masterful works of art.

Who knew watermelons could serve as canvases for fine art? Clearly Cooper did! He can carve just about anything, from vicious sharks to deadly crocodiles.

Check out his latest works below.
