An Overview-C Programming

C Programming Language – An Overview

In this tutorial you will learn about C Programming Lanuage, Overview of C, Sample programPrinting a message, Executing a C Program and Basic structure of C programs

Overview of C

C is a programming language. It is most popular computer language today because it is a structured high level, machine independent language. Programmers need not worry about the hardware platform where they will be implemented.

Dennis Ritchie invented C language. Ken Thompson created a language which was based upon a language known as BCPL and it was called as B. B language was created in 1970, basically for unix operating system Dennis Ritchie used ALGOL, BCPL and B as the basic reference language from which he created C.

C has many qualities which any programmer may desire. It contains the capability of assembly language with the features of high level language which can be used for creating software packages, system software etc.

It supports the programmer with a rich set of built-in functions and operators. C is highly portable. C programs written on one computer can run on other computer without making any changes in the program. Structured programming concept is well supported in C, this helps in dividing the programs into function modules or code blocks.

Sample program-1
Printing a message
Consider the following message

...../* Printing begins here */
.....printf (“C is a very good programming language.”);
...../* Printing ends here */

The first line is a preprocessor command which adds the stdio header file into our program. Actually stdio stands for standard input out, this header file supports the input-output functions in a program.In a program, we need to provide input data and display processed data on standard output – Screen. The stdio.h header file supports these two activities. There are many header files which will be discussed in future.

The second line main() tell the compiler that it is the starting point of the program, every program should essentially have the main function only once in the program. The opening and closing braces indicates the beginning and ending of the program. All the statements between these two braces form the function body. These statements are actually the C code which tells the computer to do something. Each statement is a instruction for the computer to perform specific task.

The /* …. */ is a comment and will not be executed, the compiler simply ignores this statement. These are essential since it enhances the readability and understandability of the program. It is a very good practice to include comments in all the programs to make the users understand what is being done in the program.

The next statement printf() statement is the only executable line in the above sample program. The printf() function is a standard inbuild function for printing a given line which appears inside the double quotes. Therefore in the standard output device we can see the following line

C is a very good programming language.

The next line is again a comment statement as explained earlier. The closing brace indicates the end of the program.

Executing a C Program

The following basic steps is carried out in executing a C Program.

1. Type the C lanuage program.

2. Store the program by giving a suitable name and following it with an extension .c

3. Compile the program

4. Debug the errors if any, that is displayed during compile.

5. Run the program.

Basic structure of C programs

.....Documentation Section
.....Link Section
.....Definition Section
.....Global declaration Section
.....main() function section
Declaration Section
..........Executable Section

.....Sub-program Section

The documentation section consists of a set of comment lines giving the name of the program, the author and other details such as a short description of the purpose of the program.

The link section provides instructions to the compiler to link functions from the system library.

The definition section defines all the symbolic constants. The variables can be declared inside the main function or before the main function.

Declaring the variables before the main function makes the variables accessible to all the functions in a C language program, such variables are called Global Variables.

Declaring the variables within main function makes the usage of the variables confined to the main function only and it is not accessible outside the main function.

Every C program must have one main function. Enclosed in the main function is the declaration and executable parts.

In the declaration part we have all the variables.

There is atleast one statement in the executable part.

The two parts must appear between the opening and closing braces

The sub-program section contains all the user-defined functions that are called in the main function.

User-defined functions are generally placed immediately after the main function although they may appear in any order.

Voices of the Middle East and North Africa

Voices of the Middle East and North Africa – April 21, 2004

We will be starting a series to investigate
nationalism, the right of nations to self
determination and the creation of nation states
through the struggle of the Kurdish people.

The Kurdish left is going through the discussions of
nationalism, nation building and the true meaning of
liberation from the left perspective. Class rule,
tribal structure or feudal relationships can not
provide the true liberation Kurdish people are
expecting from the newly forming Kurdish autonomous

Recent events unfurl as accusations of being
imperialist puppets or being traitors to the people of
the region mount on the Kurdish people. Having been
against all imperialist forces in the past, the
Kurdish left is discussing all sides of the equation.

We start this series today with an interview with Mr.
Akif Bozat, the representative of the Kurdish National
Congress (KNK) in Britain, conducted by Mehmet Bayram
of the Middle East Radio Project.

We also have an interview with Jehane Noujaim, who is
the Egyptian-American director of a new documentary
film called "The Control Room". This film, which will
be released in June, documents the way the war news is
presented by Al Jazeera, the Arab news station and the
US military command. Audio from the film where the US
Press Officer and the Al Jazeera senior producer give
their accounts of events is also presented in this
segment. Mehmet Bayram and Steve Zeltzer of the
Middle East Radio Project conducted this interview.

FBI Warns Republican Memo Could Undermine Faith In Massive, Unaccountable Government Secret Agencies

I’m genuinely shocked

The Consumer Protection Bureau realized it had enough money in the bank for the next quarter and, get this, didn’t ask for more! I know!

The internet is the best thing in the world. Because stuff like this exists and is brought to me in my home.

Soon to be a major Netflix motion picture, I hope

The story of how the DEA was stymied by the Obama Justice and State departments when the DEA wanted to shut down the Hezbollah drug running and crime syndicate but Justice and State wanted to keep Iran happy.

They’re not at all defensive

This little dialogue about Netflix’s Christmas Prince tweet has a couple amusing moments. Which is all we can hope for from the internet, really. Lindsay in particular amuses me.

I don’t care if they’re just recycling Top Gear ideas.

Finally the lies are exposed

Carmelizing onions takes longer than 10 minutes.

Cooking times are always inaccurate!

Baking times tend to be reasonable.

Society for Economic Measurement

Society for Economic Measurement

I was privileged last week to present one of six plenary lectures at the annual meetings of the Society for Economic Measurement in the brand new Samberg Center at MIT. The conference was organized by the eminent macroeconomist Bill Barnett, founder of the Society for Economic Measurement and founding Editor of Macroeconomic Dynamics. Other keynote speakers included Erik Brynjolfsson on the measurement of welfare, Peter Diamond and Larry Kotlikoff, with alternative takes on social security, Peter Ireland on the importance of divisia aggregates and Gita Gopinath on Global Trade.  My talk was predicated on the fact that there can be no measurement without theory and I revisited a theme that I first presented last June at a Post-Keynesian conference held at the University of Greenwich.

Here is an excerpt from a paper that I wrote for the Post-Keynesian conference, forthcoming in the European Journal of Economics and Economic Policies, with the title, Post-Keynesian Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium Theory.  A prepublication version is available on my website here and the slides for the MIT talk are here.

Who is a Post-Keynesian? Who knows? Who cares? I believe that intellectuals are, or should be, inclusive in their acceptance of alternative approaches to interesting questions and I am not going to propose a Keynesian version of the Nicene Creed. If you self-identify as Post-Keynesian; that's good enough for me. I do think, however, that we can draw an interesting analogy with evolutionary biology. In his wonderful book, the Beak of the Finch, Jonathan Weiner describes evolution in action on the Galapagos Islands.
In response to a prolonged period of drought, Weiner describes how the characteristics of the birds that inhabit different parts of the island begin to diverge. If drought conditions persist, the finches on one part of the island stop breeding with those on another and, slowly, separate species begin to emerge. When eventually, the rains return with the arrival of El Niño, inter-breeding recommences and the divergent characteristics of the emergent populations are merged, once more, into a single species.
When did Post-Keynesians stop interbreeding with their orthodox cousins? It was in 1955. That was the year when Paul Samuelson introduced the neo-classical synthesis into the third edition of his influential introductory textbook.[1] According to the neo-classical synthesis, the economy is Keynesian in the short-run, when prices and wages are ͚sticky͛, and classical in the long-run when they have time to converge to their Walrasian levels. Participants at this conference do not need me to point out that this idea has very little to do with Keynes.
The intellectual descendent of the neo-classical synthesis is New-Keynesian economics, an approach that is neither new nor Keynesian and that has more in common with Hume's essay, Of Money, than with The General Theory. New-Keynesian economics was constructed on the core of a representative agent real business cycle model by a group of neoclassical economists, notably Michael Woodford in his Magnus opus Interest and Prices. It is built onto the real business cycle framework by adding costs of changing prices and the resulting theoretical construction makes Frankenstein͛'s monster look like a beauty queen.[2]
But although the New Keynesian reconciliation of Keynes with Walras is ugly, we should not infer that all possible reconciliations of Keynes with Walras will be similarly unattractive. New Keynesian economics is built on two assumptions. The first is that aggregate quantities can be modeled ‘as if’  they were chosen by a single optimizing household with superhuman perceptions of future prices. The second is that an ‘evil agent’ throws sand into the adjustment process and prevents prices from quickly moving to equate the demands and supplies of all commodities.

I argue in my body of work that we can make considerable progress in advancing our understanding of the macroeconomy by relaxing each of these assumptions. Lets discuss these two assumptions in turn. First, by dropping the representative-agent assumption, I have constructed models with multiple equilibria that can be Pareto ranked. Second, I have introduced a new branch of search theory that I referred to in Prosperity for All as Keynesian search theory. This alternative approach to search theory provides a reconciliation of Keynes’s concept of involuntary unemployment with Walrasian equilibrium theory that is different and more elegant than the sticky-price explanation of New Keynesian economics.

In my talk, I also discussed my work with Konstantin Platonov, "Animal Spirits in a Monetary Economy", in which we develop a micro-founded version of the IS-LM model that maintains the Keynesian idea that involuntary unemployment can be maintained as a long-run steady state equilibrium. In June I presented these ideas to a group of  Post-Keynesians. Last week, I presented the same ideas at MIT, the intellectual home of the New-Keynesians. I continue to be encouraged by the ever growing embrace of my ideas and my agenda and the recent Greenwich and MIT conferences were no exception. To quote once more from my JEEP paper,

Post-Keynesian finches and their New Keynesian cousins have avoided each other for far too long. Just as the arrival of El Niño in the Galapagos Islands allowed diverging species to once more merge, it is my hope that the shock of the Great Recession will catalyse interbreeding between New Keynesian and heterodox economists. If I am right, more of my neoclassical contemporaries will need to listen to the drum beat that post-Keynesians have been sounding for 60 years. And post-Keynesians will need to explain to neoclassical and New Keynesian economists, in their own language, what they are doing wrong. General equilibrium theory, broadly interpreted, like mathematics, is a language. If you are young enough to have not yet been corrupted by establishment elites of either subspecies, I urge you to think hard about joining me in establishing post-Keynesian DSGE theory as the future of macroeconomics.

1.  See Kerry Pearce and Kevin Hoover (1995) for a discussion of the evolution of the ideas contained in Samuelson’s textbook, Economics: An Introductory Analysis. The neoclassical synthesis first appeared in the third edition in 1955. I discuss the history of the development of New Keynesian economics, and its roots in Samuelson’s interpretation of Keynes, in my book, How the Economy Works.

2. Anyone who has ever tried to teach the New Keynesian Phillips curve will grasp my meaning. The student is first introduced to the ‘Calvo fairy,’ a mythical creature who randomly decides which firms, in any period, are allowed to contemplate changing prices. Next, one must assume that, in an inflationary environment, firms do not pick a price, they pick a mechanistic rule for adjusting their price on a weekly basis. The pricing rule must be aggregated over identical monopolistically competitive firms and the resulting equation must be linearized around a hypothetical stationary growth path. See my book, Prosperity for All for a discussion of the connection between the ugly and unrealistic assumptions that underpin the New Keynesian model and the concentric circles used by Ptolemacian astronomers to justify their assumption that the Earth is at the center of the Solar System. I first discussed the relationship between Ptolemacian astronomy and New Keynesian economics in my paper, "Animal Spirits, Persistent Unemployment and the Belief Function".

Report: WhatsApp ‘Backdoor’ Leaves Encrypted Communication Vulnerable

New research has claimed that the way in which popular messaging platform WhatsApp has implemented its end-to-end encryption protocol leaves it vulnerable to outsider attacks.

WhatsApp, a messaging platform that caters to over a billion users is owned by Facebook. The social media giant claims that the encryption used in WhatsApp means that nobody, not even Facebook’s staff, can intercept messages on the platform. However, privacy campaigners have pointed to a new vulnerability in the core protocol as a “huge threat to freedom of speech”, warning that it could be exploited as a backdoor by governments looking to snoop in on users.

A report in the Guardian reveals that WhatsApp’s end-to-end encryption infrastructure relies on unique security keys, similar to the likes of those used by the much-heralded Signal protocol, developed by Open Whisper Systems. These unique keys are traded between users and communication can only begin after the process of being secured following verification of said keys.

The flaw with WhatsApp, research claims, is its ability to force the generation of new encryption keys for offline users. This occurs without the knowledge of the sender and recipient of the messages and works by getting the sender to re-encrypt the messages with new keys before they are sent again. This method, in particular, is for any messages that have not been marked as delivered.

Here, the recipient is unaware of this fleeting change in encryption and the sender is only notified of it if they have enabled encryption warnings among the app’s settings. Just as importantly, they are only alerted after the messages have already been re-sent.

In essence, the researcher who discovered the flaw, claims that the re-encryption and resending of the message fundamentally allows WhatsApp to intercept and gain access to users’ messages.

Tobias Boelter, a cryptography and security researcher at the University of California, Berkeley, discovered the flaw and stated to the publication.

If WhatsApp is asked by a government agency to disclose its messaging records, it can effectively grant access due to the change in keys.

Meanwhile, messaging app Signal which uses a similar protocol does not fall pretty to the same vulnerability. If a recipient is offline while changing a key, a sent message will not be delivered whilst the sender will be notified of the change in keys without an auto re-send of the message. This is in contrast to WhatsApp’s implementation that automatically resends an undelivered message with a new key. This is done without forewarning the user or giving them the means to prevent it.

Further, Boelter claims to have reported the vulnerability to Facebook in April 2016. He was told that while Facebook was aware of this concern, it was deemed as “expected behavior” and wasn’t being actively fixed by the social media giant.

Ibiza’s Sunset Strip

Categories Europe, Ibiza
Sunset Ibiza

To say Ibiza is renowned for it’s epic sunsets is an absolute understatement, and one of the most treasured parts of the island to witness the phenomenon is on the world famous sunset strip. You can watch the sun set a thousand times but each one will be unique and give you a new overwhelming sense of relaxation, romance and wanderlust to discover what is beyond that horizon. I’m not going to lie to you, there are other places on the island to witness the sunset, but with the combination of perfect geography, music and beverages, nothing beats San Antonio.

Where is it?

The Sunset Strip is located in the resort of San Antonio, on the west side of the island. The entire resort is a fusion of bustling party-goers and active families who are all looking to experience what the sunset has to offer. The Strip itself, is located on the west side of the resort as well (obviously, the sun sets in the west!) in an area called Calo d’es Moro. Depending on what direction you are coming from, getting to the strip can be a bit hilly with a few not-so-steep steps – I’ve seen families make the trip with no hassle.

When we first arrived we were totally unprepared and unaware of how to get the the strip, so basically we followed the coastline right around from the marina until we finally arrived. Obviously depending what time of the year you visit Ibiza, the sun will set at different times of the day so make sure you don’t get caught out – you won’t want to miss it.

Cafe Mambo

The Strip offer a wide variety of top-class bars and restaurants where you can eat, drink and dance right in front of the sunset, but in my opinion Cafe Mambo doesn’t compare to anywhere else.

Mambos is the last restaurant/bar on the strip (or first depending on what direction you come in from); every night they have resident and headliner guest DJ’s to welcome you into the dusk. The strip can get quite rowdy and drinks are quite pricey during peak sunset times, and if you are looking to book a prime spot with a view over the water, you will need to book in advance which comes with a minimum spend.

A lot of people congregate around Cafe Mambo and on the beach front to hear the music but not pay the steep prices. However, I’ve heard that this year alcohol is banned from the streets of Ibiza so I’m not sure what the rules are with drinking on the beach.

The award-winning bar also offer guests a spectacular firework event to celebrate the beautiful sunset each night, and this alone is enough to get you pumped up and ready for a good night ahead on the White Isle.

So if you are looking for a lively place to watch the sunset with first class DJ sets, food, drinks and a view to die for. Mambos is the place to be in San Antonio.

Horse 2

A horse is one of the hooved mammals. Horses are able to get away from danger because they have a very strong sense of fight or flight. Also they come in various different sizes as well as colors. Most horses live to be about twenty-five to thirty years old.

What I’ve Been Up To

January 27, 2012

The last time I blogged, I was likening myself to an antelope and talking about my feet.

Was that weird?

Anyway, due to a combination of utter laziness, lack of inspiration, and more utter laziness, you’ve basically heard nothing but radio silence from me for the past 2+ months.

Again…sorry. Blame it on winter depression.

For anyone who has ever had a blog, I’m pretty sure they can attest to the fact that it’s tough to keep up with regular postings.

Unless someone wants to pay me buckets of money to talk about what I eat everyday, it’s safe to say that my posts will continue to be completely sporadic, ranging from a few times a week to once every few months.

Besides, I can assure you– if I wrote about my everyday life, you guys would drop like flies.

There’s only so many ways that I can say “I sat on my butt, alternating between reruns of How I met Your Mother and Kim and Kourtney Take New York all night” before I’d have to own up to the fact that yes, I am in fact, the world’s biggest waste of space.

So, anyway, now that we’re all here, let me catch you up on what’s been going on in my life.

My foot: (Because talking about my feet is apparently becoming a regular topic of conversation here.)

In my last post, I was in the throes of a terrible bout of plantar fasciitis.

Once I got over the fact that running through the pain was not going to help, I finally wised (is that a word) up and stopped trying.

And guess what?

My foot…got…BETTER!

Although the half marathon I wanted to do in February is a no go, I’m back up to running 5-7 miles a few times a week.

Granted, I’m nowhere near where I was when I ran the Miami Half back in 2009, but I’m getting there. Slowly but surely.

My New Place: Can you believe I’ve already been here for 6 months? Crazy, right?

I even hung curtains! (Please disregard the cheap curtain rods. I have better ones, I just haven’t hung them yet. I need a step ladder.)

Alas, as much as I love it here, I won’t be renewing my lease in August.

I knew from the start I’d probably only be here for a year.

So, I’ll miss it, but by the time August rolls around, I’ll be ready to move on. (Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to talk all about that new place when we find it. And I’ll post pictures. Lots of pictures. Your welcome.)

Work: I was recently also lamenting about the loss of my cube.

And…I still don’t have a cube.

The “6 month renovation project” in my office seems to be at a standstill.

Seriously. It’s been 3 months and I think all they’ve done is dismantled maybe 3 cubes.

But, as much as I was complaining, I actually don’t mind sitting amongst my co-workers.

I actually talk to other people during the day,instead of sitting alone in my cube doing crossword puzzles and shunning the outside world.

My new-found socialness with co-workers actually makes the day go by faster. And it also makes Moe very happy.

He isn’t faced with an interaction-starved human being talking a mile a minute at the end of the day.

And finally, the last thing:

My father has joined Facebook.

Last I looked, he’s up to 27 friends.

I always said, the day one of my parents got Facebook, I’d delete my account.

So far, he’s behaved himself. The only question posted on my wall so far has been “How do I put that picture in my spot?”

(That was his way of asking how to get a profile picture.)

Ohhh parents and social media. Sometimes I’m against it, but it can be pretty funny.

OK, well, now that we’re all caught up on the minutiae of my everyday life, we can get back to regular programming.

I’ll be back.

Probably not until February, but I promise, I’ll be back.

One thing about getting my own place, aside from the sheer glory of living alone, is the fact that I have to buy everything to furnish it myself. I knew this going into it, obviously, and I’ve been pretty good about buying things little by little, but it’s still a really expensive endeavor to take on. As much as I would love to decorate my new place in Restoration Hardware and West Elm, well, that’s just not going to happen.

Enter IKEA.

IKEA is like the knight and shining armor to broke twenty-somethings like myself trying to create a cute space to live on a tight budget.

I’ve known for a while that this was the couch I was going to get:

Now, the original plan was to go buy it this weekend, during the tax free holiday.

Because, you know, that would have been the rational thing to do.

I would have saved some money. And, more importantly, I would have had some people to help me.

But, of course, this is not what I ended up doing. Because that would have been way too easy.

Given the fact that sometimes I am a completely irrational person, I decided that, actually, I needed to have my couch by the time I moved in on Thursday.

So, this is why I found myself frantically driving to IKEA at 8:00 Monday night, swerving in and out of traffic in a desperate attempt to go purchase my Karlstad sofa before they closed at 9pm.

I was so focused on getting the stupid thing, I never considered how I was actually going to get the sofa from where it was in the store to the checkout line.

See, IKEA is set up so you can view the furniture on the upper level, and when you find something you like, you go down to the warehouse and find it yourself.

You then load it onto a cart and bring it to the cash register.

By yourself.

When I originally decided on the urgency of having a couch by Thursday, I never took into consideration that going to IKEA to purchase it alone might not be the easiest thing in the world.

But there I was, flip-flops on my feet, sloppy bun atop my head, heaving and hoeing a 100+ pound, 8 foot tall hunk of cardboard onto a cart that didn’t have wheel locks.

It only took me about 4 tries (and several weird looks from people in the store, who I’d like to thank for not helping me), but I did it.

Boy, was I proud.

I got that puppy onto that cart without even messing up my pedicure.

After that ordeal, I managed to get it to the cash register without knocking anything over.

I may or may not have almost run over a baby stroller, but that’s not my fault. You try wheeling an 8 foot tall sofa around a giant warehouse.

Once paid for, I promptly wheeled it to home deliveries, scheduled it to be sent to me the next day, and went home exhausted, $600 in the hole, and one new couch richer.

It got delivered last night. And, to add even more to my superwoman status, I assembled it myself.

Ladies and gents, behold. A sneak peak at my new sofa:

Yes, I agree. The blue striped pillow doesn’t match. But I bought that before I learned the meaning of the term “impulse control”, so until I find somewhere else to put it, that’s where it’s going.

I know you’re all dying to see everything else, but the only other thing set up in my new place is this:

Obviously you can see where my priorities are.

But, the big, permanent move day is tomorrow. After that, I’ll have more pictures for you to oohhh and aaahhhh over.

Until then, wish me luck!

It began the night before.

I found out I lost 2.2 pounds at Weight Watchers.

So…I went home and made a cheese pizza.

The next day was going swimmingly until…

I left work late.

Squeezed onto a very crowded train…

Which promptly got stuck underground…during rush hour.

Oh yeah, did I tell you?

There was a Red Sox home game last night.

Which means I was surrounded by idiotic fans dressed in their trusty Sox gear.

I’d like to let it be known that the majority of Red Sox fans don’t take public transportation on a regular basis.

Therefore, they think the T is “cool”.

Not moving for 30 minutes resulted in them loudly and excitedly discussing the trials and tribulations of getting “stuck” on the “train”, because, you know…siiiigh… it is a part of city living after all.

As if being jostled by Sox fans on a crowded train wasn’t bad enough, there were also about 30 elementary-school-aged campers.

Extended periods of not moving causes children of this age to become antsy.

This resulted in poking, yelling, stepping on my feet, and incessantly asking “WHY aren’t we MOVING?”

I have never exercised such extreme self-control than I did on that train.

I did not harm any children.

Although in my head I did.

Hour and a half later I was home.

I planned on making dinner for Moe.

Tacos, to be exact.

Went to turn on the stove.

The gas stove, to be exact.

Click, click, click…clickclickclickcickclickclickclick.

Lots of gas.

No flame.

Headache ensues.

As well as a call to my (very chatty) landlord.

Couple hours later, 3 of the 4 burners are fixed.

Moe and I eat take-out.

And I go about 30 points over my Weight Watchers limit for the day.

A translator can be a single file.

But since many scripts will look for /proc/mounts, it's probably good to
have it there.

[Noisebridge-discuss] Noisebridge during Apple's WWDC conference, June 6-10

Danny O'Brien danny at spesh.com
Tue Apr 24 04:28:26 UTC 2012

If anyone wants to help Rob put this together, mail me and I'll pass your
messages on.

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Rob Elkin
Date: Mon, Apr 23, 2012 at 7:29 AM
Subject: WWDC Space
To: secretary at noisebridge.net

I'm interested in putting together a coworking space during WWDC in June.
The guys at GitHub suggested I contact yourselves.

I was planning on being in SF for the conference but not picking up a
ticket. I know of others planning on doing the same, and people who don't
manage to get a ticket will probably want to do that too.

I don't really have any money to put towards it, but would be happy to talk
to companies about sponsorship etc if that's necessary, but really the
whole thing is just to get people together, kind of like an open source
temporary workspace. So coming along would be free for anyone. If you guys
charge for space, I could start talking to companies to get sponsorship for
the week.

I don't have a handle on numbers yet, but I reckon there could be at least
10-15 people interested without too much bother, based on the informal
conversations I've had, but I don't want to talk about it too much since I
don't have anything lined up. It could easily be bigger than that if word
got around.

I'm also friendly with the appsterdam guys so was hoping to have some
appsterdam branding there too, and a few of the appsterdam guys will be
over for wwdc. They are chasing some leads for space as well, but we
haven't found anything yet.

I was also thinking that an event on the Monday for a breakfast/live blogs
on big screens for the apple keynote would be good to try.

I know this is a bit of a random request, especially since I don't really
know what your setup is like etc, but figured I would check to see what
would happen!

If you could pass this along to someone that would be interested/or could
help in noisebridge, I would appreciate it.

Tutorial | Red lips and smokey eyes

red lip duo.jpg

For my husbands’ birthday dinner I wanted to do a look I don’t usually go for – bold lips and smokey eyes. Why does the mere mention of those two things make me squirm a little bit inside?! Well, ever since I burst out into the world I have been incredibly pale, and I’m genetically cursed with my dad’s hooded eyes.

Red lips can look beautiful, but they can also completely over-power pale and fair skin. I think this is particularly the case for girls like myself with pale skin and a fair complexion – light coloured eyes, freckles and blonde to light brown hair. This is because, unlike dark-haired and/or dark-eyed girls, there is nothing dark enough on or around the face to balance out the depth of an opaque red. It has taken a lot of trial and error to find the ‘right’ bold red for my lips, but I believe I have found it in MAC’s Viva Glam I. It is a bold blue-toned red but with enough brown tonnes as to not drain all the colour from my face. And paired with No.7’s lip liner in Fire, which comes in a handy retractable pencil, it’s a match made in red lip heaven!

Have you ever followed a youtube tutorial for an amazing, dramatic eye look only to find once you have finished that all of the drama has all disappeared into the recesses of your eyelids? If the answer it yes, you may have hooded eyes. Having hooded eyes means that you have very little visible eyelid area when the eyes are open. At the same time, you will tend to have quite a large area of skin between your crease (the fold above your eyelid) and the eyebrow, so highlighting this area can make it look even larger. Hooded eyes can be cause by age, as the skin above the eyelid looses elasticity and starts to droop downwards, or, as in my case, it can be hereditary. The aim with this smokey eye look create the illusion of wider, sultry eyes that are drawn upwards.

A little tip is to apply your blush last so that you can judge how much you need to add to warm up your face and balance out the red lip. If you are not very pale, you may not need to apply any blush at all. It’s up to you 🙂

You can watch the tutorial for this makeup look on my Youtube channel:

I’d love to know what you think about this look in the comments below! Would you add, remove or change anything about it? Do you have a favourite bold red lip product?

The Political Christian – Thumbs up for the donkey!

This is a red flag post…

Recently we have just had our federal election here in Australia. The country is now governed by a Labour Government, the leader being Kevin Rudd.

I have just come across something that may interest some of you who are curious about Christianity and Politics. Is it a dangerous mix and one that should be avoided because of compromise? I have blogged about this before both Here and Here.
I will quote again… just for those who are not aware of the official AoG position regarding Christianity and Politics. Just to note, I agree totally with this position…

Historically, when the church has become involved in partisan politics, the outcome has been disastrous for both the kingdom of God and the system of government it promoted or attacked. The essence of the church is not earthly and temporal, but spiritual and eternal (John 18:36). The priority of the church is to preach Christ exclusively (1 Corinthians 2:2). The mission of the church is to proclaim the gospel (Matthew 28:19). [p]olitical affiliation, by its very nature, divides people into competing groups. There is no room for such division in the church. Therefore the church must never promote any party or system that would be divisive to the body of Christ, but rather contend for the faith that unites every tribe and tongue and people and nation into one glorious Church.

Why then does the AoG do the exact opposite and as well as their pastors?

What do you think of false prophesies that have been uttered by certain Christian leaders to certain Political leaders? Personally, I think that they come from the imaginations of man! Perhaps they are wishful thinking? Or perhaps there is something more than meets the eye? Kingdom building, Dominionism and the social agenda!

THE leader of a Christian group that advocates the destruction of mosques, casinos and bottle shops has met Peter Costello to “prophetically prepare” the Treasurer for the prime ministership.

Mr Costello and John Howard held private meetings with Catch the Fire leader Danny Nalliah in August, the same month the Prime Minister met with the leaders of the Exclusive Brethren, which prohibits voting and modern technology.

Mr Nalliah said in a letter to Christians that the Lord had told him to spend “personal time” with Mr Howard and to prepare Mr Costello as the “future prime minister”.

His prophecy…

The Lord told me to spend some personal time with Prime Minister John Howard and to prophetically prepare Federal Treasurer Peter Costello as the future prime minister of Australia. … I will boldly declare that Prime Minister John Howard will be re-elected in the November election (if the Body of Christ unites in prayer and action) and pass the leadership onto Peter Costello sometime after.

Uh oh…the prophecy was wrong!

Mr Nalliah from the AoG ‘Catch the Fire‘ ministry uttered this prophecy and he got it very, very wrong, hmmmm.

It saddens me to think that as a Christian conservative and also centrist, (I am one argument away from being an extemist!) I am finding it increasingly hard to vote for anyone these days. As my hubby said on voting day, he is rather shocked that the donkey has not been elected yet! I prefer to vote on what I consider to be a moral vote and try and find the party that best supports the ideal family unit and who believes that all life including unborn babies is sacred. The family unit in God’s economy constitutes the Father, Mother and child. My reasons for this are not personal at all, but only biblical. You can find the triune image of God in the traditional family unit, but that is another post all together.

But as we are entering into a new social agenda that the evangelical church has taken up — some calling it the ‘The New Reformation‘ — that agenda has more to do with politics than spreading the truth of the gospel. Please, please read ‘Jesus wasn’t a Social Worker‘ by Chris Elrod. Chris tells us who the real Jesus was, and what it was He stood for, it was not the social gospel at all.

Here’s the thing. If you mix Christianity and Politics you will lose the salvific gospel — the real atoning redemptive gospel that saves the soul — this gospel is the one thing that the Church was commanded to deliver to the four corners of the earth. Instead you have a watered down political/social agenda to build the kingdom up here on earth that eventually does a disservice to the salvific work of the cross. Where do you place your treasures, here or in heaven. Is Jesus’ kingdom of this world or not?

Getting back to Danny Nalliah from Catch the Fire ministries. He was prophesied over by none other than Frank Houston, father of Brian Houston from Hillsong. What people may not know is that Frank Houston was a sex offender of the worst kind.

Oh, what a to do with a moral vote??? Really there is much more I could say on the matter.

And just when you think that you have heard it all..

PRIME Minister John Howard has condemned the League of Rights as “a bit anti-Semitic”, but refused to cut ties with an evangelical pastor who has accepted a platform from the far right-wing group.

Opposition Leader Kevin Rudd also sidestepped the issue of government access for the pastor, warning only that people should be “very, very wary” of dealings with the “grossly anti-Semitic organisation”.

Danny Nalliah, head of Melbourne-based Catch the Fire Ministries, last night reaffirmed he would address the league again, despite criticism from Jewish leaders that his actions had conferred legitimacy on the group.

…The Australian League of Rights, founded by Eric Butler in 1960, insists the Holocaust — in which millions of Jewish people were murdered by the Nazi regime — did not happen.

In light of Pastor Nalliah’s reaffirmation last night, at least one Jewish leader urged political leaders to distance themselves from him.

The evangelical church leader has been granted high-level access to government. He told followers he had held one-on-one meetings with Treasurer Peter Costello on August 9 and Prime Minister Mr Howard the next day, after God told him to “prophetically prepare” Mr Costello as the future prime minister.

Last night, Catch the Fire issued a statement saying it would “not knowingly support or endorse any organisation which promotes such hatred (of others for their religious beliefs)”.@The AGE

Politics is a dirty game!

Oh, and just to mention one more thing. ‘Catch the Fire’ ministries also mentions on their blog that…

Kenneth Copeland prophesied that Howard would be re-elected

And in the very next breath they say … We Congratulate Kevin Rudd & the Labor Government on Winning the Election.

Are you kidding me… how about repent for your false prophecies concerning this election before you quote from the bible which says…

1Ti 2:1-2 First of all then, I exhort that petitions, prayers, supplications, and thanksgivings be made on behalf of all men, for kings and all the ones being in high position, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet existence in all godliness and dignity.

Seriously I cannot even begin to voice my dismay at all of these false prophesies coming from Catch the Fire Ministries … how about this post called ‘Another Prophetic Word Regarding the Federal Election’.

What happened, did God change His mind?

I rather think that the website Christian Witness Ministries (Philip Powell) has hit the nail on the head when he said…

We suggest that a man who honours a homosexual paedophile won’t hear anything from God. False prophets usually cover their tracks. There is the fall back explanation if the above does not come to pass—Christians did not pray or they did not pray hard enough.

…Whatever happens in the election we suggest that Christians be careful how close they get to Catch the Fire and Danny Nalliah, who has most recently big named himself claiming all sorts of miracles and that he even raised a man from the dead—hmm! @CWM blog

The CWM Blog has a lot of documented stuff on the AoG, Danny Nalliah and the Houston’s, I reckon this is worth blogrolling!

5 thoughts on “The Political Christian – Thumbs up for the donkey!

  1. Great post!

    I whole-heartedly agree…when attempting to ‘marry’ Christianity with anything, especially politics, there will always be a compromising on the part of our faith.

  2. For some stupid reason the number of comments is not registering properly.

    PJ someone – a Christian – once said to me that I should enter politics, and I just said to them that I would never consider it because of the reasons of the above.

    I wish I could take my name off of the electoral role as I see that with each passing election it is getting harder to decide between the parties here.

    The labour party gave their preference to the Greens (which are part of the Global Green Party) I think that although Rudd said he was a Christian Socialist and then later denied it, he is a conservative in his social values. But I reckon the pressure from the hard left will be something he will have to stand up to. Especially when it comes to things like abortion, euthanasia and the marital rights of homosexuals.

    As I try to make a moral choice that is biblically based these three things are paramount to conservative biblical understanding of the sanctity of human life and the sanctity of the marriage union which is a reflection of the triune image of God. I will not personalise these issues, but rather judge them through the Word of God.

    As far as all politics and so called Christian politics is concerned, I see that the devil is in the details!

  3. Please allow me to urge you to beware of the way you express some things. I refer to your statements about Danny Nalliah addressing the League of Rights. Your article implies that he agrees with their position but this may not be the case and your article should have said that. My passion and my Kingdom work is teaching creation and apologetic evidences and in that role, I too have addressed the League of Rights. There is no way that I endorse everything they believe, but many years ago I vowed that I would speak the truth to any person or group who would listen provided I did not have to compromise on biblical authority to do so. I have never been invited back, which is probably an indication of what I said that night. I say this, not to defend Danny, in fact, several things I have read about him in recent times have troubled me deeply, but to urge you not to imply wrong-doing where none may exist.
    Thank you for listening.
    PS. I do enjoy your blog.

  4. Ok.. I will reply, but I am going through some things in my head, you know…. trying to sort it all out! If that be at all possible.

    PS. I am glad that you enjoy my blog.

  5. Thanks Peter I really appreciate that you came by and commented.

    And I do see where you are coming from.

    Having said that and not to be rude or anything…but knowing that the League of Rights denies the holocaust and distributes propaganda such as ‘The Protocols of the Elders of Zion’ and is described to be anti-Semitic by the federal government’s Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission, would you still speak and use their platform if you were to be asked back?

    I think the problem I have with this situation is this… sharing a platform with an organisation that is considered to be anti-Semitic can give people a certain impression of where the speaker stands, surely this you would agree with, or at the very least put’s it into question. This is exactly what has happened with this post — I admit that. But this post was not so much to say outright that Danny agrees with the League of Nations, I have no idea if he does or not I would hope not, therein lays the problem.

    Because I have a great deal of respect for ‘Creation on the Web’ and those affiliated with this ministry, I in turn urge you to consider the impression given to world respected speakers such as yourself when you share any platform that you have been invited to speak at.

    Having read this comment back, I have seen a certain hypocrisy (recently I applauded Kay Arthur as she was about to share a platform with some very Gnostic/mystical emergent’s to speak the truth, I pray that she still does this and I pray that she not get seduced by the philosophies of man) and to be honest I am the most fallible person there is, and I am guessing you would say ditto to this – right? 😉 Some areas are most definitely black and white while others gray. This is where you are right in saying that you would share…”provided I did not have to compromise on biblical authority to do so.”
    Sometimes seeing both sides of an argument is very confusing! Apparently this is a good thing. I will just pray that you consider my thoughts, and perhaps help me with mine!
    One thing for sure that we both agree on… certain things that Pastor Danny has said of late and what is being prophesied is certainly of some concern!
    I say this in all sincerity and with all respect. And I hope that you consider my response in the tone it was given. I too thank you for listening.

    In Christ
