Student Pilot Dies in Crash with Flight Instructor after Plane Hits Zip Line Near Beach
The Cessna airplane bearing body number RP-C7838 had flown from the airport at Vigan City.
According to witnesses, the small plane had been flying around the cove for a few minutes without a problem but they noticed it suddenly pull up near the beach to avoid the zip line set up some 50 to 70 meters high.
Sadly, despite trying to avoid the zip line, the right wing of the plane snagged it.
The aircraft quickly took a plunge to sea but despite fishermen quickly sailing out to sea, it took them about an hour to establish where the plane had crashed; however, despite rescuers also arriving quickly at the area where the plane crashed, they were not able to rescue the two as the waters were murky and turbid at the time.
Rest in peace FA Paola Vianca Robles and Capt. John Kaizan Estabillo.

text: DD tore both ACLs, two years in a row. She was cleaning out her closet and came across her four braces (post-surgery and the one you wear at 6 weeks). Each one cost well over $500. I was wondering if anyone knew if there is anyplace we could donate them. I hate to just throw them in the garbage but I can't think of any reason to keep them. Any suggestions?

Calvin Johnson screwed up Dick LeBeau's game plan in a hurry
Another Sunday, another unreal performance for Calvin Johnson.
Johnson hauled in six receptions for 179 yards and two touchdowns in the first half.
Steelers defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau can't seem to figure out how to stop Johnson. Whatever they are trying is clearly not working.
Article continues below ...
The Lions dug themselves into a 14-point hole, but were able to take the lead at the half 27-20. Coming into this game, Johnson ranked just behind A.J. Green in receiving yards and second in receiving touchdowns behind Jimmy Graham.

Scientific researchers require a particular type of mind to understand that which is often beyond the understanding of others. They have courage, dedication, absolute focus, and a relentlessly inquisitive approach that drives them to succeed, regardless of the challenges.
Philanthropy comes from the heart. It comes from a desire to give back, a desire to change the things in the world that are unjust and solve the problems that seem overwhelming.
Through our work, the Australian Academy of Science strives to bring together the people who want to change the world with those who can.
This type of partnership is surely one worthy of support.
The Academy is a national asset of enormous significance for each of us today, providing a global voice on scientific issues that affect our communities—issues that really matter.
The study of science prepares people for a lifetime of learning and critical thinking, enabling Australians to make informed choices about issues that affect us all.

the best wild camping spot in iceland - between a valley and a freezing cold river!
Oxnadalur Travel Blog› entry 52 of 79 › view all entries
driving out of akureyri was not as difficult as driving out from reykjavik - because theres only one main road :P lol. we drove towards where the snow capped mountains where - well just basically following the ring road n1.
suddenly - after more or less 16 kms, the ass killa stopped - there was a parking lot COMPLETE WITH TREES beside a flast flowing river! it was an opportunity for me to stretch and smoke :P and take pics from the beautiful view but erik was always in the way whenever i take pics he would jump into the picture lol while the guys scouted for a camping spot - but then we saw a sign saying ITS FORBIDDEN TO CAMP :P but since were travbuddies - we always break the rules and i couldnt remember how many rules we had broken while on this trip :P lol.
i couldnt believe that maike alreay started to check the trees if they can hold the tarp - i felt really bad camping when its so obvious that its forbidden to camp :P finally most of the guys decided that its NOT appropriate to camp there coz 1. ITS FORBIDDEN TO CAMP IN BOLD LETTERS :P lol 2. its beside the road - as we finally walked to the cars, maike wouldnt budge :P hahahaha she WANTS to camp there :P hahahaha after forcing maike to move - we finally drove with broken hearts away from that parking area which was perfect to camp :( *sniff*
as we drove further - the bandit saw an empty space just beside the road and the river that runs through that parking place, it was not fenced which means its ok to camp there (maybe?!) we drove a bit more - but it was no use and it was getting dark - so we decided after a couple of radio-ing, the bandit lead the way back to that place! hahaha i couldnt believe it - were camping so indiscretely beside the main highway of iceland :P
as we prepared to make tents and tarping it - i helped.
then i was shocked at dave! there were some clumps of dried wood not far from us - probably left by the farmers there or something - that he just took them! ahahaha he said he wanted to build a fire and janja got so excited because FINALLY after 5 nights of camping - it will be our first time to build a camp fire! lol hahahaha - but my heart was beating fast because of nervouness - how could these travbuddies break the rules and get away with it?!!! hahahahahahaha.
it was very windy, so we built a stone wall around it, david b. and me tried to look for stones - i picked the smaller and lighter ones :P and david b. said i was not strong enough to carry the big ones :P ok, its time for the battle of wits :P i asked him if he can carry a huge one and he said he can try and i said - ok i'm pointing at that ONE - a huge stone - actually it was not a stone anymore but a boulder :P hahahhahaha. he just looked at with a funny face lol hahahaha but he carried a huge stone and he threw it fastly at the stone wall coz it was heavy while i carried lighter stones :D lol bunch of wimps we were lol. after the stone wall was built dave acted like a pyromaniac :P he showed us the skills how to build a fire in the open air :P i told him first to burn kindlings before before burning the huge chunks of wood lol.
i got hungry - but suddenly i dont want heinz beans for dinner - i remembered i bought a chicken mushroom cup noodles - and i saw ashi boiled water for his noodles - i want boiled water too! lol. so i went there - and put the water pot near the fire - it was really unenthusiastically looking as ashes flew over the water - it doenst matter anyway - i am used to that. as my water ALMOST boiled (coz ashi said thats ok lol) - i put it inside the noodles and headed back to the car to eat - since they were all crowding around the fire - as i ate my noodles -- yuuuuuuuuuuucccccccckkk it tasted really bad! it onyl took me few bites before i threw it away! so no choice - had to eat my beans - which wasnt that bad actually! i still have bread (from amber btw because she asked me to keep an eye on it :P) and i dipped a slice of bread into the tomato sauce of the beans which was really really really yummy! lol it felt like eating in a first class resto for me hahahahaa.
after eating - i joined the guys and i put a more warmer jacket - the campfire was fucking packed lol theres no more place to sit except where the smoke directly blows - so i went there it doenst matter if i smelled smoke - were camping so no need to be vain :P but i dont have any extra clothes with me :P im sure id smell smoked fish once were back in reykjavik! lol then maike and me decided to re-route the roadtrip and explained it to the guys - that were not driving offroad for the moment - and forget about going to sauðárkrókur and the northern fjords, as well as the west fjords - because we would be driving as fast as we can to reach snaefellsjökull and snaefellsnes peninsula and camp there - because most icelanders and people who had been in iceland i know recommended going there coz they said its beautiful! so we would re-route!
we told campfire stories - actually i asked them how do they found about travbuddy! :D we told our stories how we discovered it and david b.
as harri passed drinks there was merrymaking (as the british would say) around the campfire - i got heebeejeebees again coz there were some farmhouses 50 meters from us and probably they would call the police.. or or or arrrghhhh! as the fire died down - we headed back to the cars, tarp and tents! i would be alone sleeping (thank god coz thered be no snoring :P) inside the car - coz dave will sleep in the tarp!
this was probably the best night of camping for me - clear skies, no rain, not really cold but chilly - everyone was realxed and used to camping by now - and everyone knew each other - i mean theres no uncomfortable moments! its like a family - hmmm something like a chitty chitty bang-bang episode :D of adventures with magical cars :P lol as i tucked myself to bed, i had a smile on my face - it was victory for me.

Average gasoline prices fell across California, including San Diego, over the past week, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said Monday.
Monday's statewide average was $4.36 for a gallon of regular, down from $4.38 a week ago, according to the weekly government survey.
Prices declined by 1.5 cents in San Francisco and by a fraction of a cent in Los Angeles. The Energy Information Administration did not specify San Diego prices, but a separate survey by the AAA found San Diego prices have dropped to $4.34 from $4.36 a week prior.
Benchmark crude oil prices, the most significant component of gasoline pricing, hovered near $107, virtually unchanged since March 9.
Overall U.S. gasoline prices rose to $3.92 on Monday from $3.87 a week ago.
Best gas prices?
Search map or by city or zip code for the lowest gas prices in your area.
Analyst Trilby Lundberg of the Lundberg Survey said it will likely take another crude oil price increase to cause a jump in prices at the retail pumps.
The United States currently has a large cushion of excess refining capacity, she told Reuters news agency over the weekend.
"If crude prices do not jump, gas prices will peak soon, if they are not already peaking," Lundberg said.
Prices are on the decline in San Diego, where gasoline increases from January through early March outpaced most of the country.
The record high for San Diego -- $4.63 -- was set in June 2008.
Gas remained cheapest in Rocky Mountain states, such as Colorado, where the average gallon sold for $3.71 on Monday

Welcome to Tennant Tuesday! This week let's watch the delightful David Tennant tries to defend his evil character, Kilgrave, during his appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers.
David stopped by the late talk show to promote his stellar series, Marvel's Jessica Jones, where plays an unforgiving psychopathic murderer, Kilgrave.
Host Seth Meyers asks David if mind-control is the superpower he would want to have. David believes it's more of a curse than a blessing as he tries to explain why it would be a challenge to have a normal conversation or to build a moral framework.
David also doesn't imagine anyone who is perceived as a villain believes himself to be a villain.
"Donald Trump doesn't think he's a villain", jokes David.
That remark receives a round of applause and enthusiastic cheer from the audience.
Watch a lovely conversation between David and Seth below.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Kesney Auguste
Review for Fuel Relief Fund Inc, Riverside, CA, USA
My name is Kesney Auguste. A week or so after the earthquake struck Haiti on January 12, 2010, I became in contact with the Fuel Relief Fund (FRF) organization. I met with the founder and CEO of the organization, Mr. Ted Honcharik through my sister, Ms. Kerline Tofuri, on their humanitarian trip to provide quick emergency relief to the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. I was blown away to witness the steadfast efforts that Mr. Honcharik exhibited along with his profound compassion in doing all he could possibly can, in a relatively short period of time, to deliver his much needed help to the people of Haiti. Help which positively impacted the sick, the wounded, the hungry, the very young to the very old, as well as the security of the people of Haiti in a time of darkness. Darkness that FRF transformed to "light" through its delivery of free fuel, which was used to power up small, medium size to big generators. For two months straight, FRF proudly delivered free fuel to hundreds of poor families, police stations, churches, clinics, orphanages, hospitals, small to very big NGOs, and to several tents cities throughout Haiti. To this day, people from all walks of life in Haiti including government officials are still calling and writing to inquire when and if Fuel Relief Fund will return to support them once again or for a long time to come in Haiti. Judging from the quick and long lasting impact that FRF has had on the Haitian people, it is fair to claim that this organization is for real; its greater focus on changing the lives of the less fortunate speaks volume.

I've experienced the results of this organization in its delivery of free fuel to police stations, tent cities, clinics, hospitals, orphanages, and NGOs in Haiti. Arriving in a country at a time where nothing was functioning, I have seen how members of that organization quickly came together to devise a plan that ended up giving hopes and relief to so many people in a short period of time.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
If I had to make a change to this organization, I would change nothing. I would, however, invite more people to join. I would tell people to donate as much as they can to this great cause. I would tell people to volunteer to this organization. I would tell people to spread the words all over the world about all the good deeds that this organization has done and is continuing to be doing.

Netanyahu Is Punishing Abbas by Strengthening Hamas
Representatives of the Quartet are to arrive in the region on Tuesday and will want to know if the Israeli government has accepted its September 23 outline.
People who accept Benjamin Netanyahu's explanation that the decision to rescue Gilad Shalit from Hamas captivity in October 2011 was linked to the Arab Spring are exempt from reading what follows. For those who are of little faith, here is a possible solution to the riddle. Hint: It is hidden in the lead headline in Monday's Haaretz.
The story reported that those around Netanyahu, including his forum of eight senior ministers, decisively object to any gestures toward Mahmoud Abbas. The story also said that advisors to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were pressing him to punish the Palestinian president. What for, and why? Because the Fatah leader dared to turn to the UN with a request to recognize a Palestinian state that would live in peace alongside the State of Israel.
How do you punish politicians who sin? Correct; you nurture their political rivals. And who is the main political rival of Fatah? Hamas, of course. And what is the most desirable tool when it comes to the Palestinian public? The release of hundreds of prisoners, including Israeli Arabs and residents of the eastern part of a "united" Jerusalem.
No, prime minister, the government ministers and advisors are not witless. They understand all too well that this punishment will hasten Abbas' political demise and dismantle the Palestinian Authority. Their response, according to the report in Haaretz, is that this isn't their fondest wish, but "it's not the end of the world" either.
No, not the end of the world; but Abbas leaving the scene and the closing down of his camp may bring an end to the troubles the world causes for Netanyahu's government. Representatives of the Quartet who are to arrive in the region on Tuesday and will want to know if the Israeli government has accepted its September 23 outline, including U.S. President Barack Obama's May 19th declaration (negotiations on the basis of 1967 borders and agreed on land swaps ). They will probably settle for a clever announcement by the spokesman that "Israel welcomes" it.
Until the very last moment, the prime minister hoped that the Palestinians would insist on pre-conditions (in Netanyahu's eyes, a demand to honor the Road Map, which requires freezing construction in the settlements, is one such pre-condition ).
But Netanyahu is convinced that it is impossible to trust the Arabs; Abbas has informed the Quartet that he accepts its plan. Despite Netanyahu's ceaseless efforts to do damage to Abbas, Abbas insists on maintaining cooperation in security matters with Israel and to forcefully suppress any attempt by Hamas to renew terror attacks. As the head of the Palestinian government, Salaam Fayad, said over the weekend that the Palestinian leadership did not expect anything in return from the Israelis.
One can gather the amount of faith they place in Netanyahu from their refusal to have any contact with him over the release of the 550 additional prisoners included in the Shalit deal. They recall that Netanyahu had previously promised to release prisoners in the wake of the Wye Agreement in 1998, and set free mostly thieves and detainees at the end of their jail terms.
The prime minister knows that Abbas won't remain in the corner for long. Obama told Netanyahu that during his last meeting with the Palestinian president, Abbas had said that if serious negotiations did not get underway in the coming months, he'd be going home. Before then, apparently next week, he'll meet with Khaled Meshal, head of Hamas's political wing, in an attempt to complete a reconciliation agreement and agree on elections in January.
Netanyahu doesn't need more than this; after all, Hamas is defined as a terror organization, and the Quartet rules saying that negotiations cannot be held with it are still in force - except of course in cases that serve Netanyahu's short-term interest.
The Shalit deal with Hamas is reminiscent of the disengagement from Gaza. Ariel Sharon wanted to punish Abbas for his nervy insistence on accepting the Road Map, and punished him with the entrance of Hamas into Gaza. Netanyahu's punishment for accepting the Quartet's plan will bring Hamas into Ramallah.
Who is an Israeli?
On Saturday morning, I joined a group of volunteers for the Road to Recovery headed by Yuval Roth, known among Palestinians as "the angel." The governor of Jenin, the directors of city hospitals and the families of patients helped by the volunteers during their stays in Israeli hospitals invited them on a visit to the city. At the entrance to the Jalama checkpost, signs clearly informed visitors that "This road leads to the continuation of Area A located under the control of the Palestinian Authority. Entrance into Area A by Israeli citizens is forbidden, endangers life and constitutes a criminal offense."
Because of some kind of hitch, my request to enter the area had not reached its goal. During the long wait for permission from the Israel Defense Forces' Spokesman's Office, I watched an endless convoy of cars with Israeli license plates crossing through the checkpost on the way to and from Jenin. The guards made do with a quick glance at the passengers' identity cards and sent them on their way. A guard explained to me that since all of them were Israeli Arabs, they did not need permits. I consoled myself that I had just happened to experience a tiny taste of what is routine for Palestinians at checkposts.
The next day, I asked the IDF Spokesman's Office to offer Haaretz readers an official explanation of the rules about crossing through check points into Area A.
Here's what they said: "Beyond the letter of the law, and based on its assessment of the security situation, the IDF permits entry of Israeli Arabs into Area A for family visits and commerce. If an Israeli citizen wants to enter Area A, he can make an official request that will be considered, inter alia, according to the assessment of security conditions."
According to IDF policy, is a resident of Umm al-Fahm not an Israeli citizen? Are "assessments of security conditions" really tailored to the nationality of a candidate for kidnapping, or to his religion or skin color?

The Top 10 Movies For Fashion Girls Apr 13, 2017 by Sarah (Day Styles)
Whether you're a serious fashion girl or just enjoy films with amazing costuming, check out these ten movies full of sartorial inspiration. They can help you take your style to the next level!
10. Black Swan
Fox Searchlight
Natalie Portman won an Oscar for her performance as a troubled ballet dancer, Nina, in "Black Swan." The movie focuses on Nina's struggles during a performance of "Swan Lake." The movie's cinematography lingers on the elegant outfits and motions of ballet. Kate and Laura Mulleavy, the sisters behind the Rodarte fashion label, designed the intricate and exquisite costumes. Once this movie came out it's no wonder that everyone became obsessed with ballet-inspired clothing.
9. Annie Hall
Twentieth Century Fox
"Annie Hall" is a film by Woody Allen set in New York and Los Angeles. Woody Allen plays Alvy Singer, a divorced Jewish intellectual and stand-up comic. The movie reflects on his relationship with Annie Hall, a New York nightclub singer, played by Dianne Keaton. The fashion of Annie Hall in this movie remains a timeless classic of film fashion history. Her attire is very androgynous and is mimicked by many fashionable women to this day.
8. Clueless
Paramount Pictures
"Clueless" is a cult comedy from 1995 starring Alicia Silverstone as Cher, a high school student in Beverley Hills. "Clueless" documents the ups and downs of her life including school, relationships, friends, and family. Every scene is vibrant with California sunshine and style. The fashion in this film was so important in getting the story line across; the clothes themselves could be considered a character in the movie – and the main character at that.
7. Valentino: The Last Emperor
Matt Tyrnauer
This documentary reveals how fashion designer Valentino and his partner Giancarlo Giammetti prepared for the 2006 Spring/Summer Collection in Paris and included a retrospective of Valentino's career including his work, shows, and business decisions. The movie was created following the end of Valentino's tenure as director at his renowned Italian fashion house, and is a must-see for any serious fan of fashion.

Malone to hear volunteer firefighters worries
The LNP Member for Mirani, Ted Malone, in north Queensland says he will do everything he can to ensure the future of the Rural Fire Service (RFS).
Mr Malone will head a review committee that will meet with volunteers around Queensland over the next few months.
Last month, the Queensland Government announced plans to cut almost half of the paid positions in the RFS.
Mr Malone says the meetings will address the support levels for volunteers on the front-line.
"There's been a level of concern among rural firefighters that they're not being listened to and there is an issue in terms of their ability to fight fires and it goes straight to the core of their volunteerism," he said.
"Basically it was a huge opportunity not to be missed and I've been looking at doing something like this for many years."
Mr Malone says the results of the review will influence the Government's final decision on the cuts.
"The recommendations will essentially be binding," he said.
"They'll be delivered directly to [Premier] Campbell Newman and to the Minister.
"I've got support from both Campbell and the Minister that the findings we make will be implemented."
The review is expected to be completed by February next year.

BBC has released the first details on the new Top Gear Season 22 Episode 1, which will air on the 25th of January, as it has been recently announced.
In case you have been missing out on the famous trio of car testers, Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond, you should know that they will be back on TV soon. According to BBC, the new Top Gear Season 22 Episode 1 is getting ready to air as the official date has been disclosed – January 25. Despite the first episode being announced officially, we are not sure what we will see in it because no details on this have been announced so far.
In the new Season 22 of Top Gear, we will get to see a small race between Richard, on a bike, and James behind the wheel of a Renault Twizy, three brand new GT cars tested in Australia, the testing of the impressive BMW i8 and also a tribute for the legendary Land Rover Defender. Other vehicles which will star in the Season 22 include the Mercedes-AMG GT, the Lamborghini Huracan, Corvette Stingray, Jaguar F-Type R, Porsche Cayman GTS, Lexus RC F and so on.
However, we have gotten the new Patagonia Christmas Special so far and it has been a truly controversial one because the Top Gear crew has had some tough times in Argentina because of Jezza's Porsche 928, with the H982 FKL license plate, which was referring to the 1982 Falklands Islands war, between Great Britain and Argentina. The crew had to flee the South American country after several mobs attacked them with stones. The three V8 powered cars were abandoned over there. A short explanation on the incident was offered in the Patagonia Special episodes, but controversy still remains.

As I am currently changing my website provider to Packet3.co.uk I had to backup and download the 4 sites zips to my local PC so I can upload to the new site once transfer details are complete.
This is an involved process but very interesting, as it combines running Apache2, MySql, and a neat Search/Replace tool and maybe PHPMYADMIN if you wish, to get you old databases running at home, but so they don't link to your old public site name.
The first thing you must do is back up each site you may be running on your web providers site.
WordPress has a Plugin perfect for this job called, er (now defunct 2016):
Install a similar Plugin at your site then run a backup for local download without encryption:
You may also be able to backup from your cPanel depending what your Hosting Co provides:
This zip / tar.gz file will contain the files and database for you to run WordPress on your local, non public Linux PC. There is a lot involved, so keep the original backup safe and copied elsewhere also.
I assume from this point you have followed prior Posts on running an Apache2 server on the Raspberry Pi, and have a functional local web server already, and you have pointed your /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default file to wherever you will be storing your home site files.
Install MySql and WordPress onto your Pi also - follow the mysql pword prompts etc.
apt-get install mysql-server wordpress
Create a subdirectory of /var/www (or elsewhere to suit) of the name of you site e.g. mine is on my Storebird USB drive attached to the Pi:
mkdir /SB/www/DebianAdmin
Copy the backup zip to that directory and unzip it. It should have Database and Filesystem folders containing the site SQL DB, and the .php files of the site in them, amongst others, e.g:
root@raspberrypi: ls /SB/www/DebianAdmin
If you ran from cPanel, then the file may be like:
ls ~/Downloads/
In which case you need to untar/unzip it with :
tar -xvf backup-8.20.2016_14-03-18_steveped.tar.gz
You need to recursively copy the original Filesystem folder contents to your current local site subdirectory. I recommend you become root and cd to the root directory, then use full path names to do this to avoid confusion e.g:
root@raspberrypi:/# cp -vr /SB/www/DebianAdmin/FileSystem/DebianAdmin/* /SB/www/DebianAdmin/
This will copy all the php files of the old site root Filesystem, which become the root docs under your new local site folder title and Database name.
Once the Filesystem files have been copied to your Doc Root equivalent of /SB/www/DebianAdmin you get similar to:
root@raspberrypi:/# ls /SB/www/DebianAdmin/
403.shtml FileSystem wp-blog-header.php wp-mail.php
cgi-bin MOJOWordpressInstaller-ZxxnnQ9euZ.state.json wp-content xmlrpc.php
Database readme.html wp-cron.php
The Database folder contains:
root@raspberrypi:/SB/www/DebianAdmin# ls Database/
This can now be imported into MySQL after you create a database of the site name. To get into the mysql cmd line mode type:
mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
Give root's pword and show the currently created databases - note the SQL language semicolon!
mysql> show databases ;
| Database |
| information_schema |
| mysql |
| performance_schema |
| phpmyadmin |
| wordpress |
8 rows in set (0.04 sec)
If you mess up, use Ctrl+C to get back to linux.
Create your new database and USE it before you import the sql database file:
mysql> create database DebianAdmin ;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> use DebianAdmin ;
Database changed
You need to allow access to the DBs for a user or root as you wish e.g across ALL DBs for root
grant all privileges on *.* to 'root'@'localhost' ;
If running the searchdb page remotely (below) you will also need to allow your local user access also so you can browser view the searchdb remotely and run the changes:
grant all privileges on *.* to 'stevee'@'localhost' ;
Now, import the database using the absolute path name, from the Database subdirectory you unzipped. I use a 2nd window to list then copy the path from, to not exit MySQL in the other window:
mysql> source /SB/www/DebianAdmin/Database/OBFW_Database.sql
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.01 sec)
Assuming you have Apache2 set right by adding the specific sub directory as an Alias inside the virtual host block (if you don't want to alter your current /var/www settings) in
vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
Alias /da /var/www/DebianAdmin
<Directory /var/www/DebianAdmin>
Options All
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
you should be able to browse to your webserver directory for the site and get a desired fault:
This is good! It means the database is seen but not read properly because of incorrect content at its new place.
The first file to check for is that there is an .htaccess file in the DebianAdmin directory and if not it will have to be created:
root@raspberrypi:/SB/www/DebianAdmin# ls .ht [TAB]
If repeated tabs don't see it, then create one with:
vi .htaccess
When (not) to use .htaccess files
In general, you should only use
.htaccess files when you don't have access to the main server configuration file. There is, for example, a common misconception that user authentication should always be done in
.htaccess files, and, in more recent years, another misconception that
mod_rewrite directives must go in
.htaccessfiles. This is simply not the case. You can put user authentication configurations in the main server configuration, and this is, in fact, the preferred way to do things. Likewise,
mod_rewrite directives work better, in many respects, in the main server configuration.
.htaccess files should be used in a case where the content providers need to make configuration changes to the server on a per-directory basis, but do not have root access on the server system. In the event that the server administrator is not willing to make frequent configuration changes, it might be desirable to permit individual users to make these changes in
.htaccess files for themselves. This is particularly true, for example, in cases where ISPs are hosting multiple user sites on a single machine, and want their users to be able to alter their configuration.
However, in general, use of
.htaccess files should be avoided when possible. Any configuration that you would consider putting in a
.htaccess file, can just as effectively be made in a
<Directory> section in your main server configuration file.
There are two main reasons to avoid the use of
.htaccess files.
The first of these is performance. When
AllowOverride is set to allow the use of
.htaccess files, httpd will look in every directory for
.htaccess files. Thus, permitting
.htaccess files causes a performance hit, whether or not you actually even use them! Also, the
.htaccess file is loaded every time a document is requested.
If you DO need an .htaccess file, paste this text below in it, with your folder details in place of DebianAdmin:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /DebianAdmin/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /DebianAdmin/index.php [L]
# END WordPress
CD to the site folder, check the contents of
vi wp-config.php
From lines 17 on you should see data from the old site that needs to be changed for your local server - the servername, user=root, and root's password. Change them to suit, and don't miss an apostraphe:
// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', 'DebianAdmin');
/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'root');
/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'pw****');
/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
You shouldn't have to change anything else in there like the hash salts or DB prefix section.
Now, what should happen when you restart Apache, is you get your site page ok, but all the Post links etc. will still point to your old site prefix - stevepedwards.com - in my case. These need to be changed to point to your home server name - and of course, there are maybe thousands of them in the whole site DB! So how?
Now for the fun part...if you mess it up...start over probably!!
Download the SearchReplace DB tool from:
Read all instructions before installing the tool in the same way as you did for the mysql steps above e.g:
root@raspberrypi:/SB/www/searchdb# ls
root@raspberrypi:/SB/www/searchdb# unzip Search-Replace-DB-master.zip
inflating: Search-Replace-DB-master/tests/charset-test.php....
inflating: Search-Replace-DB-master/tests/db.sql
The download Search-Replace-DB-master.zip has a SQL DB in it also, so create a MYSQL DB of a suitable name and import it as above.
mysql> source /SB/www/searchdb/Search-Replace-DB-master/tests/db.sql ;
When installed, restart mysql:
root@raspberrypi:/SB/www/searchdb# /etc/init.d/mysql restart
[ ok ] Stopping MySQL database server: mysqld.
[ ok ] Starting MySQL database server: mysqld . . ..
[info] Checking for tables which need an upgrade, are corrupt or were
not closed cleanly..
You can browse to the filesystem on your local server if you have no index.html file in the apache2 root folder, and run the browser app by opening the searchdb folder:
Now, replace all instances of you old site name - don't forget the www! - with your local server name so the links stay local - update the details, then do a dry run first to see if it should work.
If you are happy it completes properly, then do a live run. Your local site should now work so all Posts are called locally, not trying to access the web. As you see, my recent Post is now read locally off the Pi.
If you get an incorrect view of the main page, then it can be your Permalinks that you may have set to Post Name on the real site needs changing back in Settings/Permalinks to the default as below.
If you can't get anywhere with that App and happy on the command line, use sed to search and replace the entire DB in real time (change in place -i) - after making a copy of course:
sed -i 's/www.stevepedwards.com/hpmint/g' Downloads/backup-9.6.2016_19-37-11_steveped/mysql/steveped_debianadmin.sql
Now import it into mysql using the source command as above, to overwrite the old version. All links should now be local if you searched/replaced correctly.
What a neat App! I don't see the need to delete it after, if on your own firewalled, non public home webserver, but that's up to you. At least when learning this process anyway.
A big Thanks to Joe Moore from Packet3.co.uk for his expertise and patience in showing me this process.
If you need to change your password for the local site because you change the site name root folder name as I did, and possibly the hashes don't work any more, and as email from your server is not available to the local WordPress so you can't use the "send new password" function, and if you don't have PHPMYADMIN installed, you can use MySQL and its own MD5 hash method in the MySQL ver 5 step 2 below.
MySQL method:
- "mysql -u root -p" (log in to MySQL)
- enter your mysql password
- "use (name-of-database)" (select WordPress database)
- "show tables;" (you're looking for a table name with "users" at the end)
- "SELECT ID, user_login, user_pass FROM (name-of-table-you-found);" (this gives you an idea of what's going on inside)
- "UPDATE (name-of-table-you-found) SET user_pass="(MD5-string-you-made)" WHERE ID = (id#-of-account-you-are-reseting-password-for);" (actually changes the password)
- "SELECT ID, user_login, user_pass FROM (name-of-table-you-found);" (confirm that it was changed)
- (type Control-D, to exit mysql client)
Note if you have a recent version of MySQL (version 5.x?) you can have MySQL compute the MD5 hash for you.
- Skip step 1. above.
- Do the following for step 7. instead.
- "UPDATE (name-of-table-you-found) SET user_pass = MD5('"(new-password)"') WHERE ID = (id#-of-account-you-are-reseting-password-for);" (actually changes the password)
Note that even if the passwords are salted, meaning they look like$P$BLDJMdyBwegaCLE0GeDiGtC/mqXLzB0, you can still replace the password with an MD5 hash, and WordPress will let you log in.
Using your site name DB still find the row name that contains your DB users names – "wp_users" in my case:
mysql> SELECT ID, user_login, user_pass FROM (wp_users);
| ID | user_login | user_pass |
| 1 | stevepe1 | *0AAD10E48295AA608A67B611C0477524B00BA770 | non working pword hash
| 2 | stevepedwards | *0AAD10E48295AA608A67B611C0477524B00BA770 | non working pword hash
mysql> UPDATE (wp_users) SET user_pass=MD5("password") WHERE ID = 2 ;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
Rows matched: 1 Changed: 1 Warnings: 0
Now check the password hash value has changed:
mysql> SELECT ID, user_login, user_pass FROM (wp_users);
| ID | user_login | user_pass |
| 1 | stevepe1 | 4e4a33663988295b02fb247dcb7952da |
| 2 | stevepedwards | 5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99 | new working hash value for above pword = "password"
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Now check the new password = "password" works at the site login page /DebianAdmin/wp-admin/ for that user. Just to be sure once you get into WordPress, create a new user also with Admin privileges.
So how is it possible to generate a command line hash value in Linux?
Use the md5sum binary with a word of your choice piped into it:
root@debianP4:~# echo -n password | md5sum
5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99 -
As you see, it generates exactly the same hash value as the PHPMYADMIN and MySQL methods before.
If you want to check the MD5 for a file:
md5sum /Storebird/MintDownloads/pmagic_2015_07_07.iso
f9498543e0c9597a925be8bae9b42747 /Storebird/MintDownloads/pmagic_2015_07_07.iso
In Linux Mint, should you get a webpage stating:
Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress.
Try installing php5, with php5-mysql:
apt-get install php5 php5-mysl
ALSO: If you find you cannot access your Posts locally from the main page, you may have changed the permalink defaults to names etc. Change them back to default number style, and it should work:
The home WordPress password change process below was explained on a forum and goes like this, assuming you do not have PHPMYADMIN installed in Linux already via:
apt-get install phpmyadmin
First, browse to that local site folder to see the web admin page and log in as root:
Click the DB you want from the left and find the table with the user data - wp_users in my case:
So, the first thing to note is the hash value for each user and how to check it against the MySQL values:
stevepe1 $P$B1TlEUwBl6jO/YfQnnhfpWO5ZmtA.K1
Now look at the MySQL value:
mysql> SELECT ID, user_login, user_pass FROM (wp_users);
| ID | user_login | user_pass |
| 1 | stevepe1 | $P$B1TlEUwBl6jO/YfQnnhfpWO5ZmtA.K1 |
| 2 | firstname.lastname@example.com | $P$B6RhdWxw35zLD8Qb9b8SwL08SBLnEl. |
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Identical of course, but let's see how to change the password using that forum method of selecting MD5 hash from the user_pass drop menu and typing in a new word = "mypassword":
Scroll down and click Go:
As you may have noticed, the actual MySQL command is shown in the summary box, which is similar to what you use to do this manually at the MySQL command line itself if you have already logged in to MySQL and set the DB with the USE command:
UPDATE (wp_users) SET user_pass=MD5("mypassword") WHERE ID = 1 ;
Now check its hash value in the wp_users window = 34819d7beeabb9260a5c854bc85b3e44:
Now in MYPHPADMIN again with a refresh: 34819d7beeabb9260a5c854bc85b3e44
This reads the same as PHPMYADMIN just entered - same so far as you would expect.
Now, you can compare that to the forum MySQL method below and choose which you prefer.
If you need to change your password for the local site because you change the site name root folder name as I did, so the hashes don't work any more, and as email from your server is not available to the local WordPress so you can't use the "send new password" function, you can use MySQL and its own MD5 hash method in the MySQL ver 5 step 2 below.
MySQL method:
- "mysql -u root -p" (log in to MySQL)
- enter your mysql password
- "use (name-of-database)" (select WordPress database)
- "show tables;" (you're looking for a table name with "users" at the end)
- "SELECT ID, user_login, user_pass FROM (name-of-table-you-found);" (this gives you an idea of what's going on inside)
- "UPDATE (name-of-table-you-found) SET user_pass="(MD5-string-you-made)" WHERE ID = (id#-of-account-you-are-reseting-password-for);" (actually changes the password)
- "SELECT ID, user_login, user_pass FROM (name-of-table-you-found);" (confirm that it was changed)
- (type Control-D, to exit mysql client)
Note if you have a recent version of MySQL (version 5.x?) you can have MySQL compute the MD5 hash for you.
- Skip step 1. above.
- Do the following for step 7. instead.
- "UPDATE (name-of-table-you-found) SET user_pass = MD5('"(new-password)"') WHERE ID = (id#-of-account-you-are-reseting-password-for);" (actually changes the password)
Note that even if the passwords are salted, meaning they look like $P$BLDJMdyBwegaCLE0GeDiGtC/mqXLzB0, you can still replace the password with an MD5 hash, and WordPress will let you log in.
Using your site name DB still find the row name that contains your DB users names - "wp_users" in my case:
mysql> SELECT ID, user_login, user_pass FROM (wp_users);
| ID | user_login | user_pass |
| 1 | stevepe1 | *0AAD10E48295AA608A67B611C0477524B00BA770 | current pword hash
| 2 | stevepedwards | *0AAD10E48295AA608A67B611C0477524B00BA770 | current pword hash
mysql> UPDATE (wp_users) SET user_pass=MD5("mypassword") WHERE ID = 2 ;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
Rows matched: 1 Changed: 1 Warnings: 0
Now check the password hash value has changed:
mysql> SELECT ID, user_login, user_pass FROM (wp_users);
| ID | user_login | user_pass |
| 1 | stevepe1 | 4e4a33663988295b02fb247dcb7952da |
| 2 | stevepedwards | 34819d7beeabb9260a5c854bc85b3e44 | new hash value for above pword = "mypassword"
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Now check the new password = "mypassword" works at the site login page /DebianAdmin/wp-admin/ for that user. Just to be sure once you get into WordPress, create a new user also with Admin privileges.
So how is it possible to generate a hash value in Linux?
Use the md5sum binary with a word of your choice piped into it:
root@debianP4:~# echo -n mypassword | md5sum
34819d7beeabb9260a5c854bc85b3e44 -
As you see, it generates exactly the same hash value as the PHPMYADMIN and MySQL methods before.
However, this is not the same as reading that string once written inside a file, because as soon as text is entered into a file it is appended by an invisible delimiter and its visibility depends on what binary or switch is used to view the file contents.
For example, vi a new file of any name, and and type the text mypassword inside:
vi test.txt
Now cat it to see the contents:
cat test.txt
From above, the pure text MD5 value of "mypassword" is 34819d7beeabb9260a5c854bc85b3e44
but the value of the piped file is different:
root@debianP4:~# cat test.txt | md5sum
Why is that? Where is the extra data coming from to change the hash? It is not the file name adding because you can change the filename at any point and still get the same hash.
Vi adds a whitespace character at the end where the cursor is flashing also, which echo does not when the -n switch is used, from the man echo page:
-n do not output the trailing newline
So again, creating the two different files, whose contents looks the same:
stevee@MintServer ~/Documents $ echo -n mypassword > mypw.txt
stevee@MintServer ~/Documents $ echo mypassword > mypw2.txt
stevee@MintServer ~/Documents $ cat mypw.txt mypw2.txt
The contents of each looks the same, but these two files give the different md5 sums seen above:
stevee@MintServer ~/Documents $ cat mypw.txt | md5sum
34819d7beeabb9260a5c854bc85b3e44 -
stevee@MintServer ~/Documents $ cat mypw2.txt | md5sum
d84c7934a7a786d26da3d34d5f7c6c86 -
Echo without the - n switch gives the same value as creating the file with vi.
od shows the octal characters that exist inside each, so beware hidden chars and assumptions about using echo or other progs for hashing what is output on the screen to what may really exist.
stevee@MintServer ~/Documents $ man od
-c same as -t c, select ASCII characters or backslash escapes
stevee@MintServer ~/Documents $ od -c mypw.txt
0000000 m y p a s s w o r d
stevee@MintServer ~/Documents $ od -c mypw2.txt
0000000 m y p a s s w o r d \n
Clear now that a Newline char is present in the first, and a Vertical Tab in the second according to a chart converter page here:
|HTML Number
|HTML Name
|Null char
|Start of Heading
|Start of Text
|End of Text
|End of Transmission
|Back Space
|Horizontal Tab
|Line Feed
|Vertical Tab
You could use awk or sed to remove any trailing chars from an output, then md5sum them to check it works, by giving the same output for a given file or echo output.

1Complacency is a killer
RocoMamas disrupted the market because there was a lot of complacency amongst incumbent brands. Now we are being copied, but we were first and social media notices. This is why your early adopters are so important. They're your social media evangelists.
2Know your market
Immerse yourself in it. Suffer humility. Know what's happening on the floor of your business. Listen to your customers. Don't ever think you know better than them.

3Keep on point
By all means set a trend, but remain relevant to your market. You can't sell burgers to the mainstream if you're too gourmet and craft. There needs to be a balance. And we wanted to be mainstream.
4Regularly take your business's pulse
You need to sit in the business and feel its lifeblood. You can't design it on paper and expect it to run. You need to feel it. I even control the music playlist, because this adds to the overall experience.
5Have a fundamental why
We are passionate about customers getting a good quality product. My daughters were my first inspiration, but this grew into customers getting the best. Start with why. Money comes later, but should never be your driving goal. What are you solving? How will you deliver it?

6Be pedantic about service
Through our tickbox menus that customers fill in themselves, we realised how often customers actually make mistakes. They've ticked the box themselves and written their name, and yet it's not what they ordered or meant to order. We fix the error anyway, free of charge. It's one meal, compared to losing a loyal customer.
7Turn a complaint around in under two hours
Your customers are right there. You have a unique opportunity to solve all issues then and there. We monitor our social media platforms 24/7. We will action any negative post within ten to 15 minutes, and hope that we get the customer while they are still in the store.
There are so many touch points where mistakes can happen — a burger can be over- or undercooked. We make our food from scratch, and on Fridays we run a big queue. Mistakes happen. We're all human. How you deal with it — and how quickly — is what's important.

» Environment
Every one of us knows the importance of energy. There have been a lot of slogans, social messages, and commercials educating the masses about the significance of energy saving. Some of them are aware of the importance of energy-efficient homes. But, at times, the home owners are not aware of several factors that are taken into consideration for being energy-efficient. They wouldnt even know how to audit the energy. This is where an energy auditor comes into a picture. The professionals effectively reduce waste energy and help homeowners as well as business owners save some money and more importantly energy. As the urgency of saving energy is felt globally, a lot of people are looking toward energy auditors to save energy. Thus, this career is booming. It is also noticed that more and more people are considering this as a profession. The good thing is that the professional auditor will not only help the environment but also get to earn a good amount of money. So, why dont you get into this field? As it is in demand currently, you will benefit greatly.
Once you become an energy auditor, you can expect a lucrative career and even engage in doing a noble job in helping the environment. You can say that you would be pursuing a green career. Are you wondering how to get about becoming an auditor? Well, this is not a standardized profession. So apparently, you wouldnt find any specific degree or diploma course. It is observed that the companies or agencies look for an energy consultant or auditor as per the requirements of their organization or workplace. Thus, many companies even look for employees with engineering degrees. Apart from that, some of the corporate houses would hire someone with business management degrees too.
Well, whatever education qualification you have, you can opt for energy auditor training. This will help you the most in understanding how the auditing works. You will be provided with the important modules and tutorials developed by the experts in the field. In case you have gained thorough knowledge, you will be provided with energy audit certification. Once you get certified and trained, you can easily gain confidence for taking up practical work as well.
Remember that homeowners as well as the business owners would want someone who has a good practical experience. You can try to get a job or be a trainee in an auditing firm. You will learn about various aspects that should be considered during auditing. You would even get energy consultant training so that you know the responsibilities you will have to fulfill when you become an auditor. With this, starting an energy business will not be a difficult task.
So, are you wondering the source to get the energy consultant certification? You can rely upon the Internet for this task. You will get online training and certification that will help you to run a successful energy based business.

FAWE Executive Director Dr Codou Diaw was a panellist at the Africa Women's Forum organised by UNIFEM as a side event to the High Level Meeting on Africa's development needs held in New York, US, on 22 September.
The core preoccupation of the Forum was addressing the empowerment of women as a central aspect of Africa's development in a context where poverty, exclusion, violence and discrimination remain critical threats to African women's progress. Its objectives were to take stock of the status of implementation of commitments to Africa's development from a gender and human rights perspective; identify challenges faced by member states in implementing these commitments; and make recommendations for accelerating implementation and strengthening mechanisms of accountability.
In an address to the Africa Women's Forum, Dr Diaw said there was 'international consensus on education as critical to wider processes of achieving gender equality and the empowerment of women'. She called on African governments to consider widening the scope of Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 2 ¬– universal primary education – to meaningful primary and post-primary education, including technical and vocational training and higher education.
Dr Diaw said, 'For education to be a transformative force for achieving women's empowerment in line with MDG 3, it is critical that girls and women, as well as boys and men, receive appropriate and relevant education and training'.
She called for greater gender-responsiveness in higher, technical and vocational education, and for practical education linked to labour market demand for girls and boys deprived of schooling owing to conflict. She also stressed that 'practical strategies and approaches are needed to transform the higher education environment to be more welcoming for African women.'
Commending the progress made towards achieving MDG 2, Dr Diaw called on governments and relevant ministries to 'focus their attention on strategies that can ensure that the targets they committed to are not missed' for 2015. She made a number of recommendations for accelerating the implementation of gender-related MDGs.

text: So there's this problem with my Desire, I can call and receive calls and everything. But once I'm in a call, the standby button will not turn the screen on, and no matter how many times I button mash all the soft keys, I get no response. However if my phone is feeling good, it'll show me the screen for a split second before hiding it again! This is a huge problem, I have no idea what the problem could be, as the standby button works fine when not in a call.. Anyone know what would be the reason? (Keep in mind, my HTC is literally a day old in my hands) Thanks in advance,


text: ABS has signed a memorandum of Agreement with the Prefectura Naval Argentina (PNA – the Argentine Coast Guard) by which the classification society is now authorized to issue statutory certificates on behalf of the PNA for Argentine flag vessels in the nation's cabotage trades. ABS is one of only two international class societies to receive this authorization. ABS is currently authorized by the PNA to issue statutory certificates for internationally trading Argentine flag vessels. The extended authorization expands that authorization to include domestically operating vessels such as workboats, fishing vessels and barges. "This agreement has particular significance since a recent change in Argentine law requires all cabotage vessels to operate under the national flag by 2006," said ABS Americas President Todd Grove who signed the new memorandum in Buenos Aires. "The agreement will simplify the reflagging of vessels currently involved in those trades that are in ABS class and will reduce the administrative burden that would otherwise fall on the PNA," he added. The expanded authorization also means that ABS will be able to offer a complete package of classification and statutory services to owners that will be building new vessels in Argentine shipyards for these trades. "The first of a series of fishing vessels that fall under this expanded agreement is already under construction in Argentina to ABS class," said Ruben Saied, ABS Country Manager, Argentina. "The new agreement is expected to benefit all the parties involved, the shipyard, the owner, the PNA and ABS. The significant number of cabotage vessels that are being negotiated with yards by prospective owners can also be expected to reap similar benefits from this harmonized approach to statutory and class certification." As the Argentine Maritime Authority, PNA enforces international conventions on safety of human life at sea, pollution prevention and control as well as related technical and legal matters. PNA performs flag State and port State control functions involving vessel records and control of ship safety conditions pursuant to the provisions of related laws, regulations and relevant international agreements.
