Q: Login conditions not executing as expected My login page seems to redirect me to index.php with any login field inputs. This is unexpected as it's supposed to perform checks. Also, if the login fields are left blank, it redirects to a blank page. This also should not be so as I have set up a condition to deal with this result. See
logininc.php
    <?php

require_once("assets/configs/db_config.php");
$user=$_POST['user'];
$password=$_POST['password'];

if(isset($_POST['submit'])){

//To ensure that none of the fields are blank when submitting the form if
if($user != NULL || $password != NULL)

// if(isset($_POST['user']) && isset($_POST['password'])) old code
    {
        $user = stripslashes($user);
        $password = stripslashes($password);
        $user = mysqli_real_escape_string($user);
        $password = mysqli_real_escape_string($password);

        $sql="SELECT * FROM $test_db WHERE user='$user' and password='$password'";
        $result=mysqli_query($sql);

        $row=mysqli_fetch_array($result);

        if($row['user'] == $user && $row['password'] == $password)
        {
            session_start();
            $_SESSION['user'] = $user;
            $_SESSION['password'] = $password;
            $_SESSION['loggedin'] = "true";
            header("location:index.php");
        }
        else
        {
            echo ('
Computer says no.
');

        }
            echo ('
Enter something!
');

}

}

login.php
 <form id="login-form" method="post" action="logininc.php"> <fieldset>
  <legend>Login </legend>

Please enter your username and password to access the administrator's panel

    <input type="text" name="user" placeholder="Type your username here" id="user" />
    <input type="password" name="password" placeholder="Type your password here" id="password" />
    <input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary"name="submit" id="submit" value="Login" />  </fieldset> </form>

Please advise.

A: Unlike the mysql_ extension, mysqli extension requires you pass the connection object to all the functions when used in a procedural style.
pass your connection resource assuming $con to the first parameter.
mysqli_query($con, $sql);

also in your mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $string);

A: Change your code with this and let see..
$sql="SELECT count(*) FROM test_db WHERE user='$user' and password='$password'";
$result=mysqli_query($con,$sql);

$row=mysqli_fetch_array($result,MYSQLI_NUM);

if($row[0]==1)
{
    session_start();
    $_SESSION['user'] = $user;
    $_SESSION['password'] = $password;
    $_SESSION['loggedin'] = "true";
    header("location:index.php");
}

One more thing, since I notice, you are using $test_db instead of test_db. So, I change it to test_db.
Have a look, how to use mysqli_fetch_array

A: you have to start session at the beginning of the code , you cannot start session anywhere in the code
start it like
<?php
 session_start();
 ...

this page will again report error if no $_POST['user'] or  $_POST['password'] exists
u need to change the code like
if(isset($_POST['user'])&&isset($_POST['password']))
 {
    //proceed for login check
 }
 else{
    //error: all credentials not sent
 }

A: You should check type too, in this case:
if($row['user'] == $user && $row['password'] == $password)

use instead:
if($row['user'] === $user && $row['password'] === $password)

Why when you  left blank fileds, it redirects to a blank page? Try that code:
$a = ''; //string type
$b = array(); // array type
var_dump($a==$b); // you will get true;
var_dump($a===$b); // you will get false;

A: As mentioned a field left empty does not yield Null, but an empty string. So check it with isset() and empty().
Also try
$row = $result->mysqli_fetch_array(MYSQLI_ASSOC);

And you should really hash your passwords.

How Syphilis got its Name
Compared to today, syphilis was a different disease in early-modern Europe. It was more ferocious, fast acting, and destructive. Symptoms included painful and often deadly rashes and ulcers on the groin, limbs, mouth, throat, and eyes. The Italian physician and poet Girolamao Fracastoro (1478-1553) recounted these symptoms:
"The foul Infection o'er his Body spread
Prophanes his Bosome, and deforms his Head;
His wretched Limbs with filth and stench o'er flow,
While Flesh divides, and shews the Bones below.
Dire Ulcers (can the Gods permit them) prey
On his fair Eye-balls, and devour their Day.
Where does syphilis come from?
Syphilis emerged in the Americas through the long and complicated history of human migration. The treponematosis bacteria originated in Africa in the form of yaws. The disease mutated into the disease known as bejel and entered Asia and then later North America when humans crossed from Asia to the Americas either via the Bering Land Bridge or water routes. Once in North America, bejel mutated into syphilis. The North American mutation was introduced to Europe most likely by the returning participants of Columbus' first voyage in 1493. Some of Columbus' crew then found themselves tied up in the Siege of Naples the following year where the first recorded syphilis outbreak occurred.
The link between Columbus and syphilis was not made until 1526. Gonzalo Fernandez de Oviedo y Valdes made the connection in his Natural History of the Indies. In addressing the King of Spain Oviedo remarked, "Your majesty may take it as certain that this malady (the bubas) comes from the Indies, where it is very common knowledge amongst the Indians, but not so dangerous in those lands as it were our own…The first time this sickness was seen in Spain was after Admiral Don Christopher Columbus had discovered the Indies and returned from those lands."
Another possibility for the introduction of syphilis to Europe was through Caribbean Indians taken as slaves and forced into prostitution in Naples. Columbus encouraged the enslaving of Indian women for sexual purposes, and various authors in Italy remarked on the presence of Indian sex slaves. According to Claude Quétel, this theory rests on the unprovable assumption that Indian slaves had syphilis and brought the disease with them from America to Italy.
Syphilis quickly spread throughout Europe and Asia after its arrival in Naples in 1594. Syphilis spread rapidly from Naples to France, Germany, and Switzerland within one year. It appeared in Holland, England and Greece in 1496; the Middle East and India in 1498; Hungary and Russia in 1499; China in 1505; and Japan by 1512.
How syphilis got its name?
The use of the word "syphilis" to describe the disease was not generally used until the end of the nineteenth century; instead, the word "pox" was preferred, and the term "great pox" was used to differentiate it from smallpox. Other names were applied and they varied depending on the national origin of the speaker. The English and Italians called it the French Disease or the French Pox (morbus gallicus); the French; called it the Neapolitan sickness; Russians referred to it as the Polish sickness; Poles called it the German sickness; Flemings, Dutch, Portuguese and North Africans called it the Spanish or Castilian sickness; and the Japanese called it the Canton Rash or the Chinese Ulcer.
The term "syphilis" was coined in 1530 by Girolamo Fracastoro in his 1530 poem Syphilis sive morbus gallicus. Fracastoro used the poem for didactic purposes, to tell the audience how the disease was transmitted and cured. The poem was widely read, going through 100 editions in the first 70 years after its initial publication. Critics compared the poem to Virgil's Georgics, and its beauty and success likely contributed to Fracastoro being hailed as the greatest Latin poet of the age and helped secure his position as the physician to the Council of Trent.
The poem recounted the mythical origin of syphilis. A shepherd named Syphilus tended the sheep of Alcithoüs, the king of Atlantis. In an act of devotion to his master, Syphilus overturned the altars dedicated to Apollo and rededicated them to King Alcithoüs. Apollo gave Syphilus the venereal disease as punishment for his transgressions. The Atlantians named the disease after their cursed shepherd. The shepherd was cured by ingesting the bark of the guaiacum tree. A Syrian hunter named Ilceus also appeared in the poem and was stricken by syphilis but found his cure via mercury treatments.
Hieronymus Fracastorius (Girolamo Fracastoro) shows the shepherd Syphilus and the hunter Ilceus being warned against yielding to temptation and syphilis. Engraving by Jan Sadeler I after Christoph Schwartz, Munich, 1588/1595, Engraving. Wellcome Library, ICV no. 51428
Fracastoro's syphilis story was engraved and printed in the sixteenth century by Johannes Sadeler. On the left stands a statue of Venus. Water flows from Venus' breast into a cistern, and from the cistern, the water flows into a stream. Sitting on the banks of the stream is a lute-playing woman wearing an extravagant dress and a string of pearls around her neck. Her hair is done up to give the appearance of two horns growing from her head. Underneath her is a Latin distich that is a paraphrase of Proverbs 7:19 reading "Come here and join your limbs with me in a desirable embrace while my husband is absent, while there is no fear."
To the right of the seated woman is a dog urinating into the stream. Downstream and to the right of the dog is the shepherd Syphilis, drinking the water contaminated by both the dog and Venus' breasts.
Behind Syphilis is the Syrian hunter Ilceus who stands above a Latin distich reading "He who burns for Venus does the same as does he whom thirst compels to wet his mouth with whatever he finds first," a paraphrase of Ecclesiastes 42:11. In the center of the engraving stands the poet Fracastoro holding a copy of his poem. Beneath him is a Latin distich paraphrasing Proverbs 5:15-21 that reads "Let not the ways of the whore seduce you, but drink, alone, the pure liquid from the proper source." Fracastoro is warning both Syphilis and Ilceus of the dangers of venereal disease that comes from the contaminated wetness.

Early San Francisco Letter Written During The California Gold Rush by a Forty-niner
[NORTH AMERICA - CALIFORNIA - SAN FRANCISCO] ENO/ END [?], William
[Early Original Letter from an Irish "Forty-Niner" Describing Life in San Francisco during the Gold Rush, with Notes about Prices, Wages, Wonderful Climate, "a piece of Gold 23 lb weight found by one person who was only 3 days at work altogether," and Safe and Crimeless Society, "I have lived without door to my house for months…"].
San Francisco: 1 February 1850. Folio (ca. 32x20 cm or 12 ½ x 7 ¾ in). Brown ink on writing paper, 4 pp. Addressed and with several ink postal stamps on the last page. Fold marks, worn and splitting on the folds, minor holes on the last pages after opening just slightly affecting the text, but overall a very good letter.
Interesting content-rich letter written by an Irish immigrant who had come to San Francisco with his wife and two daughters in the last months of 1849, with a big wave of gold-seekers. Originally from Armagh (Northern Ireland), the family of William Eno first immigrated to Sydney, Australia, and only later moved to San Francisco where they settled in a house on the corner of Dupont & Green Streets on the Telegraph Hill which quickly became a popular Irish neighbourhood. Writing to his brother James, William gives an interesting description of San Francisco shortly before Califonia joined the Union as the 31st state on September 9, 1850. He complains about "scarcity and enormous price of everything," lists prices for groceries and services, labourers' wages, and tries to convince James to move to California. William describes "a piece of Gold 23 lb weight found by one person who was only 3 days at work altogether," promises "to dig from 3 to 6 oz a day" if they work together, praises the local climate and reassures that there is virtually no crime in the country: "I have lived without door to my house for months…" William notes how easy it was for him to learn Spanish just in a few months and suggests that his brother should travel via New York, New Orleans, Brownsville in Texas, and Mexico which will cost £30 per person; "many comes by Cape Horn, but it is a long & cold passage, others come by Chagres & Panama, but it costs 300 dollars." Overall a fascinating letter from the early times of the California Gold Rush presenting San Francisco as a prosperous and civilized place without "the slightest injustice."
Excerpts from the letter: "When I left Syd. I fetched every thing I thought I might require having don [sic!] so I have been able to sustain myself till now, for I have only earned but 3 dollars since. I came here having employed myself in putting up my own house, therefore I have no rent to pay & own not a cent…"
The mighty tide that is now rushing hither carries with it a vast amount of money & property, also still is nothing to what will yet be discovered, for vast tracts of land the soil of which is mixed with particles of Gold more than 10 feet deep in many places. I have seen pieces as large nearly as my fist, I have also had letters from the diggers who were finding from ½ an oz to 1 ½ a day. The dust sells now for 15 ½ $ an oz, in England it is worth 20. At present there is no digging, but at the dry where they do not find much. This being the rainy season, most of the diggers are here, in another month they will be leaving as the rain will then have ceased. There has been dreadful torrents this year, in any of the streets you sink to your middle in mud & goods of every kind lyeing [sic!] in it. I have seen sacks of flower & trunks of close [sic!] sunk in it, yet no person […?] lift them out though flour was at the time £10 a barrel.
Now my dear Brother, I have often encouraged you to leave the degraded & unfortunate country, I now implore you perhaps for the last time, were you with me we could dig from 3 to 6 oz a day & perhaps a fortune. In one week I have seen a piece of Gold 23 lb weight found by one person who was only 3 days at work altogether. I am now compeled [sic!] to go with strangers who may cheat me. One cannot well work by himself as in many cases one must carry water a long way to wash the clay from the Gold while the other stays behind to dig & sift. Sickness may occur & if one have no friend he may perish. This is a healthy climate with a people gathered from all ends of the earth, yet there is no crime. Whatever all the languages of group is spoken round me, particularly the Spanish & though I am here only 4 ½ months I can speak that language on any subject. <…>
I will go in a few days to the mines on the Stanislaus River, they are so extensive every where that all the people that are coming & may come won't exhaust them for many years. Do no be afraid to come, there is no sickness peculiar to the climate, neither is there the slightest injustice, I have lived without door to my house for months.".

Visionary Studio: Saturday Art Workshop is an 9-week program that allows students to infuse issues of social justice into a dynamic art-making practice. From 10am-12pm, Saturday mornings, teens explore one of four significant social themes (i.e. imagining the human body, activism in visual art, climate change, etc.) and draw upon a rich array of innovative, multidisciplinary approaches through which they can visually express their ideas. Classes are taught by teams of graduate students completing their Certification in Art Education program at New York University. Together, students and teachers consider ways in which artists can and do influence society, and experiment with techniques that include drawing, painting, printmaking, video, photography, 3-dimensional media, and installation. These workshops challenge students to think outside of traditional artistic media and explore how artistic boundaries and influence can be stretched to include what has historically been excluded. As part of the program students participate in a final exhibition inviting a wide audience of parents, friends, teachers, and NYU faculty, to see their work.
Your artistic vision could earn you the honor of being a SCAD Challenge scholarship recipient at The University for Creative Careers.
The SCAD Challenge competition gives you the opportunity to submit your works of art to a panel of accomplished SCAD faculty.

Three brief statements on transmission
1 - Transmitting an invisible landscape
It's fascinating and miraculous that I can see the Arctic town of Longyearbyen, in Svalbard, Norway, in real time, via webcam. 24/7 if I choose to. Through my screen, a digital transmission beams into my eye, connecting me visually to a place where I have never been. It is an unseen landscape, and yet I am familiar with the shape of the land by now. As the mountain panorama slowly rolls across my screen, I can recite their names: Sukkertoppen, Gruvefjellet, Sarkofagen. I will be standing there in September, the first of three upcoming residencies in 2017 and 2018.
Science and technology accelerate forward, delivering new capabilities to see, not only outward, to faraway places via digital transmissions, but inward, to examine the stuff of nature and existence itself. We continually extend our minds to go deeper in our understanding of the universe and our place in it. It's in our nature to do so. After all, scientific inquiry begins with curiosity and wonder, two of humanity's more endearing traits. While Einstein's revolutionary theories began taking shape in the first quarter of the 1900's, it has taken almost 100 years for them to trickle down and influence our collective imaginary of the world. Today a new generation is being raised in an intellectual, cultural context that completely overwrites our previous understanding of space, time, and the nature of reality. We have not yet unraveled the mysteries of spacetime, but we know that reality is not what it seems. We grasp just enough to comprehend the vastitude of our ignorance, which is good to know, if humbling, and we persist.
Art has an important role to play in this process: to convey difficult and abstract concepts, not in a direct or didactic way, but through emotion and nuance; to create new ways of engaging with the rich complexities of existence. Art brings the conceptual and the abstract to ground level where they can be seen and considered by us. As a visual artist, as a human, part of what defines who I am is my desire to pay attention (observe and reflect) learn, synthesize and transmit about this moment, this world, as I see and understand it.
I am thinking about transmission because climate change is one of those abstract and difficult concepts. The future ramifications of climate change are difficult to grasp, and complicated by our culture's unwillingness to face mortality, both individual and collective. But how we perceive and respond to the realities of the here-and-now will directly shape the future. I believe that actively examining the nature of one's connection to Nature is a fundamental and prerequisite condition for a meaningful, constructive and reality-based response to climate change.
Transmissions from the Longyearbyen webcam enable me to begin connecting to a distant place in the Arctic Circle. Those mountains, the polar twilight, the whites and the grays, the midnight sun, feed my imagination and instigate a desire to know more about what I am seeing. I hope my images do the same for you. That is the intention behind my current works of visual art - to inspire curiosity, connection and exchange between self and nature.
2 - Transmission via objects - the message in a bottle
Sea Girt, 1898, by William C. Morris Collection. Library Company of Phila.
When I first saw this photograph at the Library Company of Philadelphia, it spoke to me. I felt a strong connection to the the place, the sea side, eternal in its stark geometry, and to the ephemeral beings that seemed to mirror my own future and my own past. The image inspired thoughts about the concept of transmission, which I am still exploring in my visual art two years later.
In Iceland, I spent some time looking at 18th and 19th century Icelandic manuscripts at the National Library. I was similarly struck by the poignancy of holding these objects in my hand. I spent hours with them, absorbing what I could through my eyes and hands. I felt that by paying attention, and allowing time for its message to find register in me, I received a kind of transmission from the past. Manuscripts especially, but books in general, ferry the human voice across spacetime, like a message in a bottle. I responded with these three thoughts, musings on communication, semiotics and language, and the human condition:
"I am talking to you."
"My message is encoded."
"Silence is the medium of transmission."
I keep circling back to these thoughts about the role of the image in our world, and my role as a creator of images, transmitting at the dawn of the 21st century.
3 - Transmitting images in a saturated visual environment
Consider the proliferation of images that we are exposed to in our visual environment. Digital images on screens or printed, both miniscule and gigantic, are ubiquitous. Commercial images pop up all around us, covering not only traditional surfaces like signs and billboards, but also in wraps and projections that transform and animate solid surfaces. On an individual level, cellphone pics collect in infinitely expanding data hoards. We live inside a vibrating field of digital images that speed across the eye-screen, and register as an input in our brains, will-we or nill-we. For a visual artist, it's a daunting playing field.
In their influential essay, Edward Morris and Susannah Sayler coin the term "pensive" image, and that is the kind of image I am interested in making. An active agent in our cultural environment, a pensive image creates change through opening a space inside the viewer's mind for belief, which is a prerequisite for action. The Pensive Photograph as Agent: What Can Non-Illustrative Images Do to Galvanize Public Support for Climate Change Action? Edward Morris and Susannah Sayler. (online PDF link: http://canary-lab.vpa.syr.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/The-Pensive-Photograph-as-Agent.pdf )
As a visual artist, it is my work to transmit. In recent years I have begun to communicate my love for the Northland, and naturally, my sadness and concern as climate change and other pressures take their toll on the wild and silent places. How will my images be received in a world so densely layered with visual messages of all kinds, most created to coerce and sell? Much depends on the viewer. If the viewer looks, and gives attention; and if my image invites an opening of mind, then I have an opportunity to transmit a message.
My message is about self and nature, the way they intertwine, and the way nature acts as an essential mirror of self. This train of thought leads gently, but insistently, to thinking and feeling about climate change, deep time and our individual and collective mortality. From there, from that deep personal and yet universal place, change emerges.


TUNIS (AFP) - Police fired tear gas and clashed with protesters on Friday as tens of thousands joined the funeral of opposition leader Chokri Belaid whose murder plunged Tunisia into new post-revolt turmoil.
Skirmishes erupted on the margins of the funeral procession which turned into a demonstration in Tunis, a city paralysed by a general strike called in protest at Wednesday's assassination of the leftist leader.
The interior ministry said 132 people were arrested and estimated the size of the funeral crowd at 40,000.
"With our blood and our souls we will sacrifice ourselves for the martyr," shouted mourners, who also chanted slogans denouncing the ruling Ennahda party as "assassins".
Belaid's widow Besma held up two fingers in a victory sign as a chant of "The people want a new revolution" rang out.
Belaid, 48, was shot dead at close range by a lone, hooded gunman as he left home for work on Wednesday.
The murdered politician's eight-year-old daughter fainted amid chaotic and emotional scenes as Friday's procession began its three-and-a-half kilometre journey to the cemetery.
"My son is a man who lived with courage and dignity. He was never afraid, he left as a martyr for our country," said Salah Belaid, his father.
"We lost a great hero," Beji Caid Essebsi, a former premier and now a centre-right opposition leader, told AFP.
The opposition has accused Ennahda, the Islamist party that dominates the ruling coalition, of eliminating the outspoken government critic after months of simmering tensions between liberals and Islamists over the future direction of the once proudly secular Muslim nation.
Police fired tear gas at rioters who tried to set fire to cars opposite the cemetery in southern Tunis, sending up thick plumes of smoke and causing some panic.
Mourners jostled for space with news photographers before the burial.
Hamma Hammami, a leader of the Popular Front alliance of leftist parties to which Belaid belonged, gave a graveside oration, followed by a minute's silence.
"Rest in peace, Chokri, we will continue on your path," he told the huge crowd of mourners thronging El-Jellaz cemetery.
In the city centre, police wielding batons and firing tear gas clashed with youths who chanted anti-government slogans on Habib Bourguiba Avenue.
Armoured vehicles and troops deployed along the landmark boulevard, epicentre of the 2011 revolution that toppled autocratic president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali and sparked a wave of Arab world uprisings.
As a general strike called by the powerful General Union of Tunisian Workers (UGTT) took hold, troops were deployed in the towns of Zarzis in the south and Sidi Bouzid, birthplace of the 2011 uprising.
Police fired tear gas to disperse a demonstration in the central mining town of Gafsa, the scene of sporadic rioting after Belaid's killing.
The general strike is believed to be the biggest since January 14, 2011 - the day Ben Ali fled to Saudi Arabia, where he remains in exile.
The United States joined both the 500,000-strong UGTT and the Tunisian government in appealing for calm after two days of violence left one police officer dead and another in a coma.
Prime Minister Hamadi Jebali responded to Belaid's murder by saying he would form a government of technocrats. Any reshuffle would have to be confirmed by the national assembly.
But a faction of his Ennahda party rejected the move, fuelling uncertainty as political infighting delays a deal on a new constitution.
Jebali late on Friday insisted he was committed to the plan.
"I stick by my decision to form a government of technocrats and I would not need the support of the constituent assembly," he was quoted as saying by the TAP news agency.
Four opposition groups including the Popular Front said they were pulling out of the National Constituent Assembly, elected in October 2011 but which has failed to draft a new constitution.
The Tunisian League for Defence of Human Rights said threats and intimidation were continuing under the Ennahda-dominated government, and called for politicians to be protected.
Pro-Ennahda militias have been accused of organising attacks on secular opposition groups already at loggerheads with it over the constitution.
Ennahda has vehemently denied being behind Belaid's killing.

Drink water – (such you never heard this place before: ) ) Many people do not drink enough water and wonder why we feel tired, have headaches, gain weight, keep fluids, and/or just ordinary don't feel well. Shortage of a sufficient amount of water may be the cause of any of these and other symptoms you may have. Water aids in publishing stored fat and flushing it and those awful toxins out of your body. Dehydration causes the body to carry onto its current hydrant and fluid preservation is the result. And the fat cells stay just the way they are really — bloated and saving fat and toxins. Suggestion: Drink more water! Press Here for more details on water, its benefits and effects.
Acquire and Do a purifying program. Extra waste within the body should be eliminated of course, if you are not eating healthfully, this will be one of the first steps to reducing unwanted toxins and waste materials. The build up of toxins and waste in your body can make you feel bloated, tired, and irritable and make you venerable to illness and disease.
There are many types of cleanses to choose from. If you might have never done a cleaning program before, it is probably best to start with the one which is not hard on your whole body. I've tried different colon cleanser and found some to be too difficult to incorporate into my daily routine and others to be downright yucky. The thing you need is a good cleanse that is straightforward on the system and will detoxify the whole body. A internal cleansing program that I like is GNC's Complete Human body Cleansing Program. It's a 7-day program, therefore i know I can stick with it for a week. Some are longer. You must never do two in a row – read all information in the program's materials before you begin.
This also costs foods and beverages that en totalitétout à fait they are 'diet' or lite' as well. Avoid groan – sugar alternatives are pure poison to the bodies. Love the taste? Yeah, they recognized you would, and in addition they know you will eat or drink more because you are rationalizing that it is much better. Don't consider it.
If you do at least three of these tips right now, you are probably cussing me to telling you that you would not need to make any drastic changes to your lifestyle. But if you are serious about dropping weight, you should make better choices. It's simply a subject of taking Baby Methods. To make it better to take the first step in deciding which changes will be the simplest to implement into your lifestyle, see First Measures to Changing Habits.
Eat! Carry out not starve yourself. In the event you ever tried to diet in past times, you are already familiar with the word "starvation mode. " Whenever your body thinks you are not creating enough food, it will keep the fat that it has since it thinks it's not going to get anymore or enough and it will want it for gasoline. Eating small, and healthy meals throughout the day is the most suitable, but with the lifestyles a lot of us live, this might not exactly be reasonable. If perhaps you go for long periods between meals, have small, healthy snacks – you know the ones, carrots, granola bars, and many others. And drink water with the snack.
Minimize out sugar and sweets substitutes. Go organic and natural or natural. Sue, one of our contributors, is constantly telling everyone how the lady lost 10 pounds in less than 2 weeks just by cutting out sugars. And i also believe that her because I used to be there. Now, don't think were promoting sugar substitutes because we aren't. Why do you replace refined sugar, which at least started away in a natural form, with pure chemicals that your body views as toxins? Organic or raw, natural sugar is the way to go – and not gobs of it. If you have a sweet tooth, please learn to control it for your heath's reason. If you are diabetic, try Truvia or Stevia, which at least have an all natural base.


We had to walk around construction. They are working on a bridge over to Mclean Stadium.
Walk route was on the riverwalk one way and on city streets coming back.
They had just reopened the riverwalk after the river receded enough they could scrape off the mud.
We walked from Indian Springs Park, over the Suspension Bridge and down the trail on the East Side of the Brazos river to the Pecan Bottoms and back.


I am exhausted. I'm not really understanding why they keep scheduling me so many hours per week. I mean, I can definitely use the money, but the 8.5 mile bike ride to and from work PLUS an 8 hour shift is wearing me down. My arms are killing me.
This could be awkward later.


Fancy getting a selection of premium Gin and Tonics delivered to your door every month? With a subscription to I Love Gin, you'll receive just that! Gin is one of my favourite tipples and nothing quite beats a G&T to celebrate the weekend, so I Love Gin is the perfect solution and a great way to try out new gins and tonics.
I was excited to see these two gins because I've wanted to try the Opihr one for a long time, and I've seen a lot of positive reviews online for the Bloom gins. Both of these 50ml bottles will provide up to four G&T's (together with the tonic waters), and arrived well packaged within their box.
I didn't know much about the history of Opihr but the enclosed leaflet provided some interesting info. Opihr is a legendary region that's famed for its vast wealth and riches which prospered during the reign of King Solomon, and whilst the exact location continues to remain a mystery, it's thought to have been based in the Orient along the ancient Spice Route. Traditionally, merchants would travel thousands of miles along the route, trading exotic spices and botanicals from distant lands.
Opihr Oriental Spiced Gin takes influence from this mysterious part of history and their Master Diller, Joanne Moore, has carefully chosen a selection of exotic hand-picked botanicals to represent it. For example, in this blend are spicy Cubeb Berries from Indonesia, Black Pepper from India and Coriander from Morocco. This gin is bursting with juicy Citrus notes which are balanced with rich, earthy aromas and a gentle spice. Key notes include Cumin, Cardamom and Grapefruit Peel for a lovely spiced gin.
It's always fun to see a beautiful pink coloured gin, and this one from Bloom is a special limited edition gin that's also created by Joanne Moore, the world's first female Master Distiller. Using the original base recipe for Bloom Gin which includes Chamomile, Pomelo and Honeysuckle, Joanne has embellished upon this classic floral theme to create this wonderfully summery version.
As the name suggests, Bloom's Jasmine & Rose Gin features those two floral elements which not gives the gin its unique flavour, but also allows it to have an expressive and fragrant aroma. Usually, I do prefer my gins to be more on the spicy side like the Opihr above, but this one has really helped to change my mind because it tastes amazing!
The mixers this month come from the English brand, Luscombe, who are based in Devon. Luscombe's orchards have been producing fruit since 1067, and the estate has continued with its legacy by birthing Luscombe Drinks in 1975.
All of Luscombe's drinks are entirely free from concentrates, additives, preservatives, colourings, artificial flavours or enhancers. They use natural Devon spring water and have developed clean-tasting tonic waters that have subtle flavours with increased carbonation to deliver a tasty G&T every time.
I really enjoyed trying both of these out – the Light Devon Tonic Water contains Japanese Yuzu and Indian Quinine for a classic and refreshing flavour, whilst the Cucumber Tonic Water is the latest addition to the Luscombe range and has an even more refreshing flavour with a subtle hint of mellow Cucumber to finish it off.
An excellent selection this month and a lovely way to round off the taste of Summer!


Quitting a job in the midst of this historic economic downturn??? Seems like a crazy topic for a blog aimed at job-seekers, eh? Well, the fact is many job-seekers find new opportunities BEFORE they leave their old jobs. From a recruiter's perspective, that is the traditional goal of a "Head Hunter" – to get someone to leave one job and go to another. [Read "The Real Truth About Working with Recruiters" for more on how "Head Hunters" differ from other types of recruiters.] And it goes without saying that a candidate who is still working is perceived in a better light than an unemployed job-seeker by most potential new employers. So naturally, it's a really bad idea to quit a job without having another job already lined up – unless the circumstances are pretty drastic at your current company. That said, people choose to switch jobs for all kinds of reasons: they find a better opportunity that pays more money, offers better chances for advancement, is a better fit for their skills, is with a company with a better culture, etc. There are also the typical negative reasons why people would be looking to leave a job in the first place: feeling underpaid and/or under-appreciated, conflicts with the boss or co-workers, poor company culture or morale, company is in financial trouble, dead end job with no possibility for advancement, etc. Whether the economy is up or down, lots of people are still working, and still switching jobs. In fact, the total number of job changes the average person will have over their lifetime has risen dramatically in recent years.
As a recruiter, I've counseled many candidates through the process of giving notice to their employers – and I know it's something that scares a lot of people. It's been said that quitting a job may be the second most emotional time in a person's life next to a death in their family. The actual act of giving notice to your employer is not something that most people have a lot of experience with. So here are some tips and some advice on how to leave on the best of terms, in as professional a manner as possible, and without burning any bridges. [Read "The Golden Rule: Don't Burn Bridges" for more detailed explanation of why this is so important.] Typically, what causes a bridge to be burned is what the employer does when hit with the news of a resignation, and how the employee reacts to that.
The best time to give notice is on a Friday afternoon. That gives your boss less time to react, ask questions or to argue, and gives everyone the weekend to calm down, absorb and accept the news. Use the resignation letter shown above, address it to your immediate supervisor, sign it and make a copy for your records. In addition, prepare a list of projects and activities that you are currently working on, and their status. Hand the letter to your boss and tell him/her that you are submitting your resignation effective on the date indicated (typically 2 weeks from the day you give notice) and that you have prepared a list of your projects and activities and their status. Say that when they feel it is appropriate, you are prepared to discuss what you can complete in your final 2 weeks and who you should turn certain projects over to, etc. Your objective will be to make the transition as smooth as possible.
Why do you want to leave the company? The best way to handle it is to say something like: "I appreciate all the opportunities you have afforded me however I have accepted an opportunity I cannot turn down and that I feel is good for my career." Do not say anything negative about your current job, the company, or any of the people you worked with there!
What can we do to keep you? This is the biggest trap of a question! Your immediate response should be: "Although I appreciate your asking, there is nothing you can offer. I am committed to my decision." If you hesitate when asked that question, it might be interpreted as an invitation to convince you to stay. Then they will keep hounding you relentlessly! Assuming that you ultimately turn them down anyway, you will have then probably burned your bridge. Conviction is important here. If you're not sure about your decision, then you shouldn't resign to begin with.

We're on to week six of the new gig. Things continue to go well there, but I will admit, this existence is hard. The hassles of selling a house, buying another, landing a mortgage, coordinating a move, all the while living a very meager existence in a rented home are full of stress. At times it makes it hard to concentrate, hard to sleep, and hard to be at my best.
While I do indeed lack a home, I am far from homeless. I do have protection from the elements. I do have a warm place to sleep. I do have ample food in my belly and clean clothes to wear. I do interact with people that like and appreciate me every day. I do talk to people that love me on a daily basis. I have my health.
Yes, things are hard. However, compared to how some are living their lives, I'm ashamed to admit my frustration and my discomfort.

Home » Practice Areas » Sarasota Drug Lawyer » Sale of Controlled Substances
In every state, you will find different regulations regarding the sale of controlled substances. The laws will differ on what qualifies as a controlled substance and the penalties imposed for the illegal activity. In Florida, the law associated with the sale of controlled substances makes provisions for specific classifications of that which is prohibited and includes certain ingredients used in the manufacturing of the substance.
Drug and substance abuse is viewed as a detriment to good order in society. Accordingly, the sale of the actual substances that lead to this destructive behavior is seen as the starting point of the problem. The law and the penalties attached to the crime of sale of a controlled substance are harsh. Your best chance of beating any such charge is to hire a Florida drug lawyer with ample experience, such as Erika Valcarcel with Sarasota's Erika Valcarcel, Criminal Defense Lawyer, P.A..
What is the Sale of Controlled Substances?
Integral to understanding this offense is to know what qualifies as a controlled substance under Florida law. Particular illegal substances are categorized in terms of their relation to the likelihood of abuse, and they are as follows:
Schedule I: Drugs that have a high chance of abuse and for which there is no accepted medical usage, like heroin.
Schedule II: Drugs that possess a high propensity for abuse but have some restrictive acceptable medical usages, like opium and morphine. The abuse of these types of drugs will include severe dependency.
Schedule III: Drugs that have less potential for abuse, like anabolic steroids, but can lead to some amount of dependency.
Schedule IV: Drugs with an even lesser likelihood of abuse than those above, like diazepam, and possess limited dependency compared to other categories of substances listed above.
Schedule V: Drugs with the least amount of possibility of abuse and dependency and will generally include specific medication that has small quantities of narcotic drugs as ingredients.
The laws associated with the offense of sale of controlled substances will include not only the actual selling but incorporates possession for which the intent is to sell the substance and also delivery. The sale of controlled substances can be tried as a misdemeanor or as a felony.
Delivery of Controlled Substances
When the topic of selling controlled substances comes up, it's often grouped in with the delivery of controlled substances. However, "delivery" and "sale" are two different terms under Florida law. When you sell controlled substances, you transfer or deliver the substances to someone in exchange for money or something of value.
Delivery occurs when someone transfers controlled substances to another person or attempts to do so. In this case, it does not matter if there is an exchange of items of value. There isn't a significant difference in penalties between selling and delivering when it comes to most controlled substances. The exception is cannabis. The delivery of 20 grams or less of cannabis is a misdemeanor in Florida, so in this situation, it makes sense to push for a delivery offense over a sale offense.
Can I Go to Jail for the Sale of a Controlled Substance?
Florida laws concerning the sale of controlled substances are very complex, and penalties are based on several factors. Paramount amongst them is whether the charge is being pursued as a felony or a misdemeanor. Additionally, penalties will also be determined by the quantity that is allegedly sold and vary based on the particular classification of the drug.
Felony sale of a controlled substance is divided into three categories, each with varying jail time if you are found guilty:
First-degree felony: Time behind bars up to 25 years
Second-degree felony: Up to 15 years in prison
Third-degree felony: Up to five years in prison
In addition to jail time, penalties imposed at sentencing can also include fines. Such fines can range from $5,000 to $10,000.
The type of controlled substances sold or delivered and their amount affects which kind of charge you get. For example, the sale of Schedule V substances is a misdemeanor. This carries a penalty of up to one year of incarceration, a fine as high as $1,000, or both. Felony sale in the third degree is limited to Schedule I hallucinogens, certain Schedule II substances, all Schedule III substances, and all Schedule IV substances. The stiffest first-degree felonies are reserved for those with more than 10 grams of a Schedule I substance, excluding several substances considered Schedule I.
Penalties can be enhanced at sentencing where the following factors exist:
The offense is committed within 1,000 feet of specific properties, such as schools, parks, religious places, assisted living, and public housing properties. Other examples include universities and municipal facilities. The perpetrator could spend up to 30 years in prison and pay up to $10,000 in fines. Second-degree felonies in these locations could lead to up to 15 years in prison and a fine as high as $10,000.
The offense includes a minor, whether to facilitate the sale or where the sale is to the minor. When this occurs, you face severe penalties. The penalties are the same as those for crimes committed too close to specific properties, but sentences cannot be suspended or deferred. Additionally, a convicted person cannot be put on probation.
You are considered a habitual offender with multiple convictions in the past. A habitual offender who gets a first-degree felony conviction could be put in prison for the rest of their life. A second-degree felony could lead to a 30-year incarceration period. At the third-degree felony level, those convicted could spend up to 10 years in prison.
You must have a lawyer represent you at the sentencing hearing if you are convicted or decided to plead guilty. Several factors can contribute to the number of time behind bars imposed, so having a legal mind that possesses the necessary experience can make the difference between years in jail and probation.
Potential Defenses Against Charges
Depending on your charges' circumstances and what evidence the state has against you, your criminal defense attorney may explore several different defenses. Options include:
Violation of Personal Rights
Even when you are suspected of a crime, you have rights that cannot be violated under the U.S. Constitution. The Fourth Amendment requires that, before a search and seizure, police officers must have probable cause. If they initiate a search and seizure without going through the proper steps or establishing probable cause, any evidence seized could be thrown out.
If a suspect honestly did not know that they had a controlled substance, they may not have to face charges. However, for this defense to work, the prosecution's evidence generally has to be relatively weak.
Constructive Possession Issues
Actual possession refers to having the substances on your person. Constructive possession refers to having the substances in a separate area under your control and domain. If the prosecution cannot prove actual possession, they may attempt to catch you on constructive possession. However, if the area they claim you kept the controlled substances was accessible by multiple people or not under your control, this is a possible defense.
Undercover officers or informants occasionally go too far in trying to gather proof of a crime. If they induce an individual to commit a crime that they otherwise would not have been involved in, the suspect may have been a victim of entrapment.

Boerenkrokus (Crocus tommasinianus) bij de Schierstins.
Next to the Dutch Crocus, the Tommasini's crocus (Crocus tommasinianus), 'tommies', also appears in Fryslân. The Tommasini's crocus, like almost all Stinzenplants, is a plant that grows in the wild. In this case, its natural habitat is in the Balkans. The distribution area in the wild is quite small. The plant grows in forests and on shaded slopes at 1000–1500 meters altitude preferably on limestone (http://www.floravannederland.nl/planten/boerenkrokus). The Dutch name is Boerenkrokus, which means 'farmers' crocus' and points to the fact that in the past this crocus was often found in farmers' gardens. The flowers are very soft purple in color and only open when there is enough sun. There are also several cultivated varieties of the Tommasini's crocus such as the Ruby Giant. This plant is somewhat firmer than the ordinary Tommasini's crocus and brighter in color. Nowadays this cultivar is planted quite a lot. The Tommasini's crocus occurs at Dekema State, Philippusfenne and the Schierstins.

HMS London was a two-decker 90-gun second-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 28 September 1840 at Chatham Dockyard.

In 1854, London took part in the bombardment of  at Sevastopol during the Crimean War, where she sustained damage.

In 1858 she was converted to screw propulsion, and reduced to 72 guns.

By 1873, she was a hulk, serving as a depot ship in Zanzibar Bay, off the east coast of Africa. In March 1878 she was recommissioned, and involved in the suppression of the slave trade in the area, serving as a central depot for many smaller steam screw boats; she functioned as a repair depot, a hospital and a storage ship. At this time there were Africans from West Africa (Kroomen or Krumen) and East Africa (Seedies or Sidis) serving on board. There were also Zanzibari and Arab interpreters and cooks from Portuguese Goa (India).

Captained by Charles J Brownrigg, this vessel and her crew made several patrols aimed at hindering the slave trade and, on 3 December 1881, caught up with a slave dhow captained by Hindi bin Hattam. This dhow had around 100 slaves on board and was transporting them between Pemba and Zanzibar. Captain Brownrigg led a boarding party to release the slaves but bin Hattam's men then attacked the sailors, killing Brownrigg and some of his party before sailing away. Sir Lloyd William Mathews led a force to Wete on Pemba and, after a short battle, took a mortally wounded bin Hattem (Hindi-bin-Khartoum) prisoner before returning to Zanzibar.

A year earlier (1880), another naval officer, Lieutenant Charles Stewart Smith, led patrols which captured seven dhows and 185 slaves. In 1883, three years later, Lieutenant Smith was seconded to the post of Vice-Consul, Zanzibar to Sir John Kirk, the British Consul-General.

In late 1881, while the vessel was at Zanzibar, it suffered damage of a nature such that repairs were urgently required. The type of wood desired to make the repairs was teak, which "could not readily be procured in the open market." The Sultan was, however, known to have a store of the desired timber and so he was requested to assist with supplying it. This he did and the repairs done. However, the Sultan refused to accept any payment for the supplies. In the eyes of the commander of HMS London, it put the British Royal Navy "in an awkward position" because it would be very difficult to make similar requests in the future.

The final entry in the ship's log is dated 22 January 1883. Captain Luxmoore writes "Paid ship off" "Sent ships company to transport  in passage to England".

In 1884 she was sold and broken up.

Experience the tastes as well as the sights of the Wild Atlantic Way with a food trail through County Galway where you will meet the regions' best farmers, brewers and producers.

Journey out to the unmissable 'Islands of Saints and Scholars' famous for their cultural heritage, historical monuments, geological formation and for being one of the few places where Gaelic Irish is still the first language, followed by an evening with pre dinner drinks with Irish dancing & musicians in an authentic Castle with roaring fire.
Visit an island covered in beautifully manicured gardens designed by the legendary Harold Peto.
Visits to local private gardens can also be arranged including tea with the owners.

The gardens are renowned world-wide, with much work having been done in preparation for the visit of Queen Victoria in 1861.

One of only two UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the country, this inhospitable rock rising out of the Atlantic covers an area of less than 50 acres.

Sony Xperia Z Ultra stands out from the other available on the market "planestate". The engineers of the Japanese company took a bold experiment and has created a really great smartphone, which approached dangerously close to the edge when the machine is "big" phone turns into a small tablet.
Sony Xperia Z Ultra is an incredible opportunity for a variety of entertainment (anytime and anywhere). The first Android device with a 6.4-inch sensor that supports Full HD format – and the first Communicator, which uses optimized for mobile devices proprietary systems (technologies) X-Reality and Triluminos.
In the Network appeared information about the fact that the unannounced smartphone under the code name Sony Honami will be called Sony Xperia Z1 or Sony Xperia Z One. Recently also appeared the technical characteristics a smaller version of Sony Honami.
I Think the guys from Sony after the final capture of control of the mobile division just can't stop and announce a new device almost every month. Judging by their appearance and other characteristics, they all have been developed without the participation of Ericsson. Today, the Japanese surprised the world again, presenting at once two smartphone, Sony Xperia Z Ultra and Xperia C, as well as a new generation of proprietary "smart" watches SmartWatch.
Sony Mobile did not mention the cost planshetofona Xperia Z Ultra during the official announcement, but has not passed also days, as this information appeared in the Network. Moreover, the price information received from the most that neither is the official sources of the Dutch and French offices of the company.
Today, Sony Mobile has introduced a new device in the segment of large format Android smartphone – slim and lightweight Xperia Z Ultra is protected against the ingress of water.
Today Sony officially unveiled one of the largest smartphone Xperia Z Ultra. With screen diagonal of 6.44-inch, the new size is close to seven-inch tablets, further blurring the line between these devices. However, Sony still significantly different from the tablet PC due to the very thin case and the overall size of the phone. Dimensions Xperia Z Ultra are 179,4x92,2x6,5 mm weight 212 g. For example, the most popular tablet, the Nexus 7 has dimensions of 198,5x120x10,45 mm and weight 340 g. So the novelty of the Japanese company may act as an alternative to seven-inch tablets. In the diagonal of the screen, the user will not lose a lot, but the weight and dimensions of the novelty are much more attractive.
Updated Sony Xperia Z with Snapdragon 800 soon?
Sony Xperia Z with Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset exists and the activity is tested by the company (according to Eldar Murtazin, who claims to have seen and played on the device with their own hands).
Previously, the company Sony has announced its new products very sparingly and casually, this time presenting its new flagship-the Sony Xperia Z Ultra, the manufacturer decided to surprise the market with a chic event, invitations to which I have lit in the Network.
It Seems that in the near future line of flagship which work on a "clean" version of Android added another smartphone. According to sources of the portal Digital Trends, a month later Sony will release Xperia Z Google Edition.


I got this in a post from ArabMediaWatch today. Mark Elf at jewssansfrontieres posted this earlier.
Dr. Ala Khaendar's letter from the March 26 Guardian.
David Grossman beautifully describes writing as individual defiance to the situation of conflict in the Middle East ("To see ourselves", March 12). In the process, he resorts to what is increasingly becoming a fashionable tool for many well-meaning Israeli and western commentators: the creation of false moral equivalence between the two sides of the conflict. The act of writing for an Israeli, in his triumphant, dominant society, is one of choice, at its best, a taking of responsibility for the deeds of one's own - a " j'accuse! " For a Palestinian, it is an act of survival, the affirmation of a humanity trampled on every day - an anguished " j'existe! " If you look at reality from the eyes of your enemies, you will perhaps see that this conflict has no symmetry.
