Covad 19

I was furloughed March 23 the day before my 56 birthday for 60 days because SVP Sewing Brands claimed they did not have enough sales to pay me and the driver but kept on the head jerk who ‘s pay would have covered mine and the drivers pay. This even though I have been there 20+ years and longer than any of the others combined,

I don’t miss work at all, I do miss being paid and that is as far as it goes. If I could make a better living doing something else I will. We have not had a cost of living raise since Viking White became SVP . I am paid far below the nominal pay of someone my age. Last year they cut all or overtime, in the last two years I have gone from $43,000 to $36,000. 10-15 years ago it was good money but everything has gone up because the government is inflating the dollar to finance their over spending. Now I barely get by on what I make.

We have mostly been staying home other than to go out for food when we can not have it delivered. Both of us are at risk, she is 5 years older than I. I have allergies which cause issues with my breathing and lungs. I had pneumonia when I was 5 and if I work out and stress my lungs I cough. My allergies make me cough and sneeze, if it grows I am probably allergic to it. I know I’m really allergic to Palo verde pollen which are every where in Phoenix. If I get a cold or flue a cough can hold on for months so getting Covad would be a very bad thing for me.

I have been updating my web skills taking classes from www.udemy.com I earned my HTML5 certification taking a Web Authoring class and started another that would certify me in HTML, CSS and Java Script. I am not near as happy with it. The class is so out of date that the HTML lessons are using font tags! Font has been discontinued since HTML 4.3. CSS styles have replaced font since then and now with HTML5 has taken over the positioning and placement of elements. Responsive web design for sites to display in mobile devices is all about CSS

I put up a page Scott’s Sewing Machine Repair, posted about it on Neighborhood link, facebook and even spent $50 on running Facebook add in the local area. for that I got two people who said they would bring repairs but never showed up. I have had one person bring me a repair from Neighborhood Link from the local area. She rang the door bell and then talked to me from the side walk in front of the house 20 feet away. Even cleaned the machine and case with alcohol wipes before bringing it to me. I appreciate that even though I think it is way over kill. There is no evidence that anyone has got covad 19 from touching a surface.

I can not make a living on 2 repairs a month.. I had another who brought me an old machine referred by a store to me which has been since closed. Or run more adds that were seen by over 10,000 people and only two contacted me and then did not follow through.

I applied for unemployment but in Arizona they only pay $240 a week. We buy food with my significant other’s disability. We can not get married because she would then loose her insurance and then we would be starving to death as my income barely was paying the mortgage which was nearly all of one check, Then my other biweekly check went to paying electricity, water, gas, my cell phone, internet and keeping my truck running. I contacted the mortgage company (Rocket mortage/Quicken Loans) and they have deferred my payments until July. But I have heard I might have to catch up the back payments when I start again which there is no way I can do that. If I am barely paying each month and have no income how am I to catch up in July? I will have to check on that to see if it is true we have to make up back payments.

So how are you, how has the Covad pandemic affected your life?

Menu changes

I have been fiddling with side menu for over a year, was having issues with when it was open it did not scroll with the page and on long pages could not be seen. I recently changed the main page on Cactus Wren to a responsive set up and the side menu in the test page broke the whole set up when opened so it was time to find something else. Cactus Wren with the new menu now will display normally as two columns of content and on mobile devices the right column drops under the left and shows as one long page.

The top menu was deployed there first and now has come to all of the website except the genealogy pages and Woodward pages. For some reason the Woodward pages do not obey the container settings and the menu is all messed up. Still have not figured out the weirdness for that. I suspect maybe something to do with the image back ground which is unique to those pages. The The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding v. 12.2, Scotts ancestors and Captain Henry Woordward’s descendants are a PHP set up like WordPress so they are a different challenges to change.

I have changed my WordPress theam to 2020 which allowed me to have a blue menu header with links. Still investigating on how to do drop down buttons on it like the rest of my site. I found the drop down buttons on WC3schools. I looked at several and there was only one that allowed me to have multiple drop down buttons with different menus some would show the first menu on child buttons and basically just plain text. I had to experiment with their menus until I found this set up.

If you have seen a lot of menu code they often involve styling list items. This has no list for the menu links and no class to style the url links either. I did have the buttons open the main URL but when using it mobile with no mouse it made it difficult to access the drop down menu so I removed the links in the buttons and now they just activate the drop down menu. It is a combination of HTML, CSS and java script to make it work. At first it was not working on the duckduckgo android browser, the buttons did not appear and the links showed on the blue background. I did not change anything and it now is working.. Works on all the browser combinations I have tried.

WordPress has been updated to the latest version. I also made a change of the fonts on the website. I have wordpress showing serif but not the Faustina variable font I picked from Google fonts yet, another change I need to research. I did that after a recent class Udemy html5 class assignment to pick 4 favorite fonts and show them in the assignment.

Iframe V Embed v Object

I have been taking a class on HTML5 certification from https://www.udemy.com a recent section was on Media and the assignment to submit: was to create a page with 3 photos and 3 videos of wonders of the world. They had a link to a site I had never heard of before where we could find free images and .mp4 videos which we we were to use the < video controls = controls > < source src = video . mp4 > < / video > (also an < audio > tag that works the same with mp3) Obviously that isn’t proper html but if I write proper html tags it shows what it does instead of the tags, when I copied the code from the pdf of the lecture and pasted, it created a block with a video player below..

The site was showing videos with vemo and I could not find any free .mp4 to use that I could link too and vemo doesn’t seem to have share like Youtube. Which gave me the idea of using youtube videos was not following the exact directions of the lesson and I submitted it yesterday so I will see if I get a email to resubmit it correctly done or not..

Had a problem with putting 3 youtube videos in one page where the bottom video playing in the top video iframe even though the code was different. After being frustrated with this for a while I recalled that I had similar problems with iframe trying to use more than one iframe in a page (iframe has replaced frame in html5 and my questions Answered by the Book of Mormon page is a frame I have experimented with a iframe version but it does not work the same as the frame page and I am not happy with it). Apparently you can not have more than one iframe in a page with out having issues with it.

If you have ever pasted a youtube video in to a blog or webpage and used the embed share button you will have seen the code uses iframe. I did some searching on iframes problems but was not finding any exact answer to my problem. I did get a clue on a page about iframe V object and that led to me to this video about using iframes, object or embed. After watching it I had the idea of replacing the iframes with embed commands and then my videos worked the way they are supposed to. Some time I will have to put up some pages with my class assignments I can’t use the pages that I submit as they have my class information in them..

Impeachment Fight the Coup

PLEASE FORWARD THIS MESSAGE TO PRO-TRUMP PATRIOTS TO HELP “FIGHT THE COUP!”

Scott,

Today’s impeachment hearing, the second by the House Judiciary Committee, could be the final one before the House drafts articles of impeachment against President Trump. When asked on CNN yesterday if Representatives would vote on those articles THIS WEEK, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) replied, “It is possible.”

Despite a total lack of evidence that our Commander-in-Chief committed any crime in his dealings with Ukraine, the Democrat-led House continues steamrolling toward impeachment. Polls show that Republicans AND Independents are tired of this latest Witch Hunt against the President.

During Nadler’s opening statement this morning, an outraged protestor yelled what many (if not most) Americans think about impeachment:

“Jerry Nadler and the Democrat party are committing treason against this country! … Americans are sick of your impeachment scam!”

The protestor continued yelling for more than 30 seconds while being led out of the hearing by Capitol Police, as Nadler slammed his gavel and repeatedly called for “Order in the room.” (Watch the video by clicking here to visit Grassfire’s “FIGHT THE COUP!” website.)

Darkness in the world

I see much darkness in the world today. Christians are persecuted for their beliefs. Others are accepting things of the world and popular culture that are not of God so they will be accepted by those of the world.

What right thinking person of God accepts abortion is not murder of unborn and some newly born children? How can we see pervsion, violence, deception and other darkness around us and not be extremely concerned.

Generally in John 3:16 is quoted

16 ¶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

While that is true, reading farther into the chapter this impressed me I should write this.

John 3

19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Moroni 7

4 And now my brethren, I judge these things of you because of your peaceable walk with the children of men.
5 For I remember the word of God which saith by their works ye shall know them; for if their works be good, then they are good also.
6 For behold, God hath said a man being evil cannot do that which is good; for if he offereth a gift, or prayeth unto God, except he shall do it with real intent it profiteth him nothing.
7 For behold, it is not counted unto him for righteousness.
8 For behold, if a man being evil giveth a gift, he doeth it grudgingly; wherefore it is counted unto him the same as if he had retained the gift; wherefore he is counted evil before God.
9 And likewise also is it counted evil unto a man, if he shall pray and not with real intent of heart; yea, and it profiteth him nothing, for God receiveth none such.
10 Wherefore, a man being evil cannot do that which is good; neither will he give a good gift.
11 For behold, a bitter fountain cannot bring forth good water; neither can a good fountain bring forth bitter water; wherefore, a man being a servant of the devil cannot follow Christ; and if he follow Christ he cannot be a servant of the devil.
12 Wherefore, all things which are good cometh of God; and that which is evil cometh of the devil; for the devil is an enemy unto God, and fighteth against him continually, and inviteth and enticeth to sin, and to do that which is evil continually.
13 But behold, that which is of God inviteth and enticeth to do good continually; wherefore, every thing which inviteth and enticeth to do good, and to love God, and to serve him, is inspired of God.
14 Wherefore, take heed, my beloved brethren, that ye do not judge that which is evil to be of God, or that which is good and of God to be of the devil.
15 For behold, my brethren, it is given unto you to judge, that ye may know good from evil; and the way to judge is as plain, that ye may know with a perfect knowledge, as the daylight is from the dark night.
16 For behold, the Spirit of Christ is given to every man, that he may know good from evil; wherefore, I show unto you the way to judge; for every thing which inviteth to do good, and to persuade to believe in Christ, is sent forth by the power and gift of Christ; wherefore ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of God.
17 But whatsoever thing persuadeth men to do evil, and believe not in Christ, and deny him, and serve not God, then ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of the devil; for after this manner doth the devil work, for he persuadeth no man to do good, no, not one; neither do his angels; neither do they who subject themselves unto him.
18 And now, my brethren, seeing that ye know the light by which ye may judge, which light is the light of Christ, see that ye do not judge wrongfully; for with that same judgment which ye judge ye shall also be judged.
19 Wherefore, I beseech of you, brethren, that ye should search diligently in the light of Christ that ye may know good from evil; and if ye will lay hold upon every good thing, and condemn it not, ye certainly will be a child of Christ.
20 And now, my brethren, how is it possible that ye can lay hold upon every good thing?

Mormon 8

19 For behold, the same that judgeth rashly shall be judged rashly again; for according to his works shall his wages be; therefore, he that smiteth shall be smitten again, of the Lord.
20 Behold what the scripture says—man shall not smite, neither shall he judge; for judgment is mine, saith the Lord, and vengeance is mine also, and I will repay.
21 And he that shall breathe out wrath and strifes against the work of the Lord, and against the covenant people of the Lord who are the house of Israel, and shall say: We will destroy the work of the Lord, and the Lord will not remember his covenant which he hath made unto the house of Israel—the same is in danger to be hewn down and cast into the fire;
22 For the eternal purposes of the Lord shall roll on, until all his promises shall be fulfilled.
23 Search the prophecies of Isaiah. Behold, I cannot write them. Yea, behold I say unto you, that those saints who have gone before me, who have possessed this land, shall cry, yea, even from the dust will they cry unto the Lord; and as the Lord liveth he will remember the covenant which he hath made with them.
24 And he knoweth their prayers, that they were in behalf of their brethren. And he knoweth their faith, for in his name could they remove mountains; and in his name could they cause the earth to shake; and by the power of his word did they cause prisons to tumble to the earth; yea, even the fiery furnace could not harm them, neither wild beasts nor poisonous serpents, because of the power of his word.
25 And behold, their prayers were also in behalf of him that the Lord should suffer to bring these things forth.
26 And no one need say they shall not come, for they surely shall, for the Lord hath spoken it; for out of the earth shall they come, by the hand of the Lord, and none can stay it; and it shall come in a day when it shall be said that miracles are done away; and it shall come even as if one should speak from the dead.
27 And it shall come in a day when the blood of saints shall cry unto the Lord, because of secret combinations and the works of darkness.
28 Yea, it shall come in a day when the power of God shall be denied, and churches become defiled and be lifted up in the pride of their hearts; yea, even in a day when leaders of churches and teachers shall rise in the pride of their hearts, even to the envying of them who belong to their churches.
29 Yea, it shall come in a day when there shall be heard of fires, and tempests, and vapors of smoke in foreign lands;
30 And there shall also be heard of wars, rumors of wars, and earthquakes in divers places.
31 Yea, it shall come in a day when there shall be great pollutions upon the face of the earth; there shall be murders, and robbing, and lying, and deceivings, and whoredoms, and all manner of abominations; when there shall be many who will say, Do this, or do that, and it mattereth not, for the Lord will uphold such at the last day. But wo unto such, for they are in the gall of bitterness and in the bonds of iniquity.
32 Yea, it shall come in a day when there shall be churches built up that shall say: Come unto me, and for your money you shall be forgiven of your sins.
33 O ye wicked and perverse and stiffnecked people, why have ye built up churches unto yourselves to get gain? Why have ye transfigured the holy word of God, that ye might bring damnation upon your souls? Behold, look ye unto the revelations of God; for behold, the time cometh at that day when all these things must be fulfilled.
34 Behold, the Lord hath shown unto me great and marvelous things concerning that which must shortly come, at that day when these things shall come forth among you.
35 Behold, I speak unto you as if ye were present, and yet ye are not. But behold, Jesus Christ hath shown you unto me, and I know your doing.
36 And I know that ye do walk in the pride of your hearts; and there are none save a few only who do not lift themselves up in the pride of their hearts, unto the wearing of very fine apparel, unto envying, and strifes, and malice, and persecutions, and all manner of iniquities; and your churches, yea, even every one, have become polluted because of the pride of your hearts.
37 For behold, ye do love money, and your substance, and your fine apparel, and the adorning of your churches, more than ye love the poor and the needy, the sick and the afflicted.
38 O ye pollutions, ye hypocrites, ye teachers, who sell yourselves for that which will canker, why have ye polluted the holy church of God? Why are ye ashamed to take upon you the name of Christ? Why do ye not think that greater is the value of an endless happiness than that misery which never dies—because of the praise of the world?
39 Why do ye adorn yourselves with that which hath no life, and yet suffer the hungry, and the needy, and the naked, and the sick and the afflicted to pass by you, and notice them not?
40 Yea, why do ye build up your secret abominations to get gain, and cause that widows should mourn before the Lord, and also orphans to mourn before the Lord, and also the blood of their fathers and their husbands to cry unto the Lord from the ground, for vengeance upon your heads?
41 Behold, the sword of vengeance hangeth over you; and the time soon cometh that he avengeth the blood of the saints upon you, for he will not suffer their cries any longer.

Why the Pilgrims gave up socialism

Why the pilgrims gave up socialism

This is a great article about the pilgrims experience with “the common good” or socialism. This should be taught in our schools along with other truths about the history of North America.

I have been saying for years that charity is the love of Christ that comes from your heart. Charity does not come from government taking from those of us that work and giving it to those who do not work.

The democrats say they can tax the rich to pay for their socialist pipe dreams. But all of them are rich and do not give their money to the poor.

Scams, Facebook and Messenger

Do not buy anything you see advertised on Facebook. They are almost always misleading or out right scams. I think out of several things I purchased only 1 was what it was advertised to be. That was a router bit and I probably could have got it cheaper somewhere else.

A couple examples, a digital watch that showed many watch faces and other features. The watch I got only had 3 or 4 analog type faces and did almost nothing that was shown in the add.

Walabot is advertising heavily right now. It only works on very few phones and the App for it is only available on the German Google play store.. Did not work for me.

This summer I saw an add for a small trailer which was 1/3 the price it sales for online. Too good to be true, I ordered 1 and a week later the website was gone. Unlike many of these they sent an email confirming the order and gave every impression they were filling the order.

Solar adds claiming there are government programs that will pay for your solar system. Pure bull shit. Every solar program I have looked into would cost me more than what my averaged electric bill is.

Sticks and boxes that will give you faster internet or hundreds of TV channels with some wonderful product. One of which was a wifi extension that I had seen on Amazon for 1/3 the price it was advertised by someone else on Facebook. Yes you can get lots of digital channels with a device called an antenna. I got rid of expensive cable and dish years ago. I bought an omnidirectional antenna from Amazon that is amplified and I get over 60 digital channels plus all their sub channels on my TV for free. None of these little sticks that go on your TV will work worth a damn don’t waste your money on them.

Messenger scams, I had someone contact me using the name of my Congress man and say he had a government program to help people struggling with their bills that would pay off my house and credit cards. Three different people claiming to work for the government but would not tell me the program or branch of government, it was secret and I was not to tell anyone. They talked to me about this but then wanted me to send money to a private address for “processing fees”. The more I talked to them the more I was convinced it was a scam. Especially when they tried to tell me the FedEx truck bringing me money was involved in a wreck, even sent me photos of it and my money would be delayed. About then the messenger account started showing it was coming from Nigeria..

So my advice is not to buy Anything though a Facebook ads or messenger. Only buy from reputable companies like Amazon or Walmart.

I have the WordPress App on my phone and just discovered it has not posted any post I made on it and saved them as drafts on my phone which makes it pretty much useless.

So I will be posting some messages I wrote as far back as 7 months ago.. I copied the drafts and saved them as new texts in my Dropbox so I can open then on my computer and post them..

Moving from Hostmonster to Bluehost

Was having issues with Hostmonster, first my sitemap program would never run to completion, talked to them 3 times about it and each time they said they fixed it and it still did not work. Very pleased it runs here on Bluehost in minutes where it ran over an hour on Hostmonster and never finished. .

Biggest reason I moved to Bluehost was this blog was hacked some how and a bunch of malware was installed on the site. Hostmonster took my site down (you may have seen “this site is suspended” if you are a regular visitor to my weather page or any other page) and wanted me to pay them $70 a month to fix it. I told them at the beginning of the chat that I would move my hosting some where else. They were not cooperative and even after I deleted the malware from the site they would not put it back up. They seem to think they could force me to pay them the $70 a month  for the service when my hosting was like $18 a month.. After chatting with them for over 2 hours I told them enough and I was moving. My hosting was up for renewal any way.

I am happy with Bluehost https://www.bluehost.com/ they have been very responsive to fix issues and as of this afternoon the last item on my major items was to get my wordpress blog back up and as you can see it is. I searched for security plugins and installed a firewall so hopefully It won’t get hacked again. Also removed all inactive themes and plugins, everything was uptodate before I got hacked so that was not the issue. WordPress had updated like two weeks before it was hacked.  But the latest Wordpess version now says the previous version had vulnerabilities .

Moving has meant some major changes. I did not put the LDS Singles pages backup, Facebook has pretty much killed email lists and there had been no post on it other than the monthly FAC sent automatically for 2 years and I have not been single for 4 or 5 years so it was time to go.

I have gotten redirection going so my urls all changed from https://scottsworld.info/weather/  to https://weather.scottsworld.info      and so on for a short time.   It is fixed now

Chased a lot of broken links where my stupid editor had not successfully global changed something or other issues. My sitemap program shows broken internal links. https://www.xml-sitemaps.com .   I do not like WeBuilder my html/css editor, but the previous software was not supported any more. I tried Dreamweaver but Adobe has this scam where they don’t sell you stuff any more. Instead they want to charge you a $30 a month usage fee each for Dreamweaver or Photoshop and their other software. It crashed while I was testing it and lost over an hours work so it got uninstalled.  Right now I am testing a freeware open source editor called Atom.  https://atom.io/

I updated TNG The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding v. 12.2  and the gedcoms into the database recently and on the move some how lost the settings for the main page, so I tested all the themes and picked the one out of 3 of the 18 available themes. I picked a photo for the page which turned out to be HUGE and was running of the page so I need some software to reduce it. I first tried the trial version of Photo shop as I  into the really only needed it once. It took forever to download and install and was still installing hours later. In the mean time I downloaded a free program, reduced the image by 50% and uploaded while Photoshop was still trying to install so I killed it and uninstalled Adobe cloud again. I would not recommend Adobe software to any one.

So the photo on the page https://genealogy.scottsworld.info/index.php  is my Parents and grandparents when my parents got married in 1963. Sad to say everyone in the Photo has passed on. My father died this summer which leaves me as the oldest remaining Scheibe in that branch of our family tree. I was 55 last spring. My mother died in 2015 from complications of alzheimers, which runs in her family, her mother and all her older siblings died of it leaving only the two youngest still alive. My father lost his only sibling, his sister to breast cancer in 2008 and both his parents from old age later that year, he has not been the same since and just gave up caring for himself.

Anyway this post was about the website and I am wondering.. Will post more later.
