ThingsThat Were LostInOurvaginas BY NYACHIRO LYDIA
Aleya Kassam starts off the discussion on Things That Were Lost In Our vaginas BY NYACHIRO LYDIA, TANZANIA
This poem was deeply affecting. It took me a while to figure out why this poem crawled into the pit of my belly and would not come out. The way she writes about something so horrendous as a child being abused, in an almost matter of fact way is where the power of the poem lies. The language echoes this sense of numbness she has had to develop to keep living through something so horrendous....the matter-of-factness that this is just what a girl, a girl! goes through, and that is just the way it is...it makes me feel, as a society we are complicit - and of course, aren't we? Yet the poem has a movement and texture that makes it beautiful, when it almost shouldn't be.
Flavia Kabuye
When I first read the poem, I thought it was so graphic. When I read it again and again I realized that much as it breaks communication barriers, it also highlights structural barriers of age and gender. Women's stories like this one are endless and the writer brings out the emotional trauma that even time cannot heal. Her reference to prayer brings a message of hope...
Stephanie Newham
I want to say this is a beautiful poem but it is difficult ,because of the subject matter. However we have to be thankful that there are poets and writers who are prepared to write openly and honestly from their hearts about societies darker side.
Ivan Okuda ," It-is an epic poem, shortlisted for this years Babishai Niwe Poetry Awards, written by Tanzania's Nyachiro Kasese. If it doesn't tickle your inner most senses, then nothing ever will.
Arafat Ndugga hehehe..respect..people can write.

Richard Ali:
I got a pile of about 500 submissions and cutting it down to 46 was merely time consuming, relatively easy. But I had headaches and hesitation every step of the way cutting those down to my best 15, and when 15 each came in as well from Kgafela and Joanne Arnott, it was almost as if some special gravitational field had stayed my scroll-read-appraise-delete functions. Choosing the very best 5 poems called up all the strength I had, for it takes strength to be brutal, to decide which is the fine poem of a lot of fine poems, which possesses the slimmest space between word and emotion, which should make it in because it better turns out the fresher metaphor, the more intriguing image, the pure emotion--to pick five of these from such a rich hoard . . . I wondered, at times, if God would forgive me!
Joanne Arnott:(Canada/Metis mixed)
_"Stepping into the river of poetry submissions was a cool immersion, some poems leapt out while others called from the waters. I learned about the contents of the poets' minds and hearts, about their landscapes and weathers, about their rhythms and songs. In the end, I could carry away only those few.
Kgafela oa Magogodi (South Africa)
Chopping down was hard. But I had to stop the heart from bleeding for my darlings and chop.

International Writing Tour
Thanks to Lillian Aujo for nominating me for the My Writing Process" international tour.
1. What are you working on?
I am working on a novel called Elgona. I love the name of the novel so much that I sometimes spend more time on that, than the actual novel. Elgona is the name of a feisty 9 year old living in England in a private school, with a family whose eccentricities and her own, cause ripples of misadventures, police interventions, near child-napping, sheroisms and clashes with identity crises.
Secondly, is PoeTRicks: an adventure toolkit for Children who read and write poetry. It is an unravelling of the maze of poetry's many questions and an unveiling of poetry's many faces. This handbook is a precious fit for children who struggle with what poetry is about.
2. How does your work differ from others of its genre?
Elgona does hold some non-fictional truths which no one can challenge and a lot of it is the bearing of my soul and unabashed self, which again, surprise me at many levels. The writing enables me to rediscover a life I lived and share it with others in a way that is entertaining, introspective and a little bizarre. Children have some of the most shocking encounters with reality and their interpretations, which are deeply honest and bold, enable readers and adults to not only be kinder towards them but also to appreciate honesty and integrity.
3. Why do you write what you do?
Because I'm moved by the need around me, the need in children and other older readers. I am moved to redefine my future and other futures of women and girls and because I believe that poetry is Literature's most sacred form. Being in that presence, strengthens me to write more.
4. How does your writing process work?It usually doesn't. Of late, I've taken to 2 hour morning walks, after which I am able to create anything, especially in my head. I write in my head as I walk and hopefully it ends up on my laptop screen. I am learning how messages from our minds filter into our real lives and so self empowerment through personal confidence-building and finding new creative spaces is my new writing process. It's working because my words these days have found newer avenues to settle and feel at home.
The other writers I nominate are Sanyu Kisaka, who blogs at sanyukisaka.wordpress.com. Sanyu Kisaka is an undergraduate theater student and NYUAD. She is a singer, actress, and Lyricist. Sanyu is currently working on a short story and was winner of the 2011 Bn Poetry Award for her poem, A Handswing of Disguised Depravity.
The other writer is Esther-Karin Mngodo, Tanzanian poet. Esther Karin Mngodo has worked as a storyteller and a journalist for ten years focusing her work on children, youth and women. As a full time employee of The Citizen newspaper (2005-2009) and she worked directly with children through school visits and holding empowerment talks with schoolchildren, preparing content that would entertain, educate and shape the minds of young Tanzanians. She blogs at es-taa.tumblr.com.

When PBS NewsHour Visited Kiwatule for a 4 hour interview
Emmanuel Nsengiyunva, Victoria Fleischer, BNN, Jason
I'm Beverley Nambozo Nsengiyunva and it's been so noisy and overwhelming the past couple of months. When my eyes couldn't stay open, my hands felt the way for me and when my feet were so bruised and worn, my instinct trudged on. Even after letting go of so much excess weight in my personal life, I just felt heavier. And then PBS NewsHour called.
I still don't understand fully why PBS NewsHour came home to interview my family and I. I didn't know who they were until I asked a few friends and family in America. I still haven't had time to feel honoured. The 4 hour interview was engaging and fun and I saw a lot about myself that I had never probed to understand. Usually when I sit to lay my plans and map out where I want to go, there are places I pretend I never travelled to and people I pretend never meant much to me even though they did. Even the steps I walked which were insignificant and lacked direction, the people I dismissed and the ones whose words weighed like wet wood.
There has been no time yet to process or feel because instead of living one life, I'm living many lives right now. I'm a mother of two, Coordinator of the BN Poetry Award, wife (very very sexy wife), cook, cleaner, entrepreneur, daughter, sister, friend. I have to smile and be perky when people call and ask if they can still submit poems to the BN Poetry Award, even a week after the dead-line. I have to smile as I politely say No, because the Judges already have the poems. I manage many other Arts projects which pop up in the most unlikely of places. A friend of a friend who recommended me or who read about me in the papers who wants me to teach her fifteen year old son how to write a novel. Or a Manager that does not have any money wants me to write his book and says I will become rich from the sales. There is so much noise. Everyone is shouting at once.
So, PBS came. Victoria and Jason are nothing but charming. I would invite them home for tea or for a movie or just to talk about books. Emma, my husband was dressed and sharp, more eager than I was. Our girls were at their best, especially when Victoria told them to scribble on the walls so that they could capture a normal day at home. I wanted to tell them everything I could about myself, my projects and my parents, how everything changed when I became a mother and that mothers don't have to stop with their careers and that could even be when their careers began, as it did for me. Nothing significant happened in my career until I had a baby. And when I become a grandmother, I know that more will happen.
As soon as the PBS crew drove in, I was immediately at ease. There was no need to feel guilty about not buying new curtains or furniture for the huge media house. The interview began almost at once.
I breathed.
I started the poetry award because I knew there was so much more to life than being in an office. And when my daughter turned 4 months and I quit my job to be at home with her, I knew that I was going to pursue poets and poetry until I became breathless. I've been doing so for six years now. Every year I feel like giving up because fundraising for poetry projects is one of the most difficult things I've ever had to do, that and labour pain. Each year though, things happen and more things happen. I've met some of the most magnificent friends I could have ever hoped for in a life-time in the past few years. There are people who are celebrated at such wide international scales but whose humility in reaching to me, makes me feel like the most blest person in the Universe. There are some who I always want to boast about, the kind of boasting where I want the world to know that I have visited and inhabited true friendship, the type that is mashed up until the colours blend into one. The type of friendship where it doesn't need to be publicized because the evidence of its power is evident in the privacy of contentment. Friendships that grow every time they are shared selflessly. Have you made that friend? Whichever way certain friendships may go, I will know that because I did the right thing with my life, I have held one of life's most potent gifts, friendship. I thank poetry for that. Thank you, Poetry. Thank you, Poetry for PBS NewsHour and for journalists and development partners and people who sit and trust that I am the woman for the job. Thanks Poetry, for the Ambassadorial role in being the BBC Commonwealth Poet from Uganda.
I have been spending lots of time with positive thinkers who were part of my first writing days, people whose journeys have spread so far that when we sit and talk, it's not so much about what could have been but more about, Where we are is so much better than we could have ever dreamed!
Interviews like PBS that use the keen eyes of the heart, mind and intellect are good for us to see into ourselves. They helped me see how I actually do care a lot about women and girls and love to travel as often as I can. They helped me see myself through stunning eyes, instead of eyes that are judgemental and bigoted.
I am learning that it's okay to feel sexy and brave and hot when others are stifling in luke-warmness. Sometimes the best help I can give a flailing friend is not to step back and reach for them but to show them the way by walking at my fullest height.
I look forward to when PBS will air the interview. I look forward more, to how the interview has answered many questions about myself and shown me how to walk the many unused paths of my life.

Christ crucified
Victor Newsome's current works are challenging in the sheer wilful singularity of their vision. Comprising full-face portraits of Jesus and the Virgin Mary, their grave, heavy-lidded, yet oddly indifferent eyes looking towards us, if not at us, their features near identical; they might justifiably be described as icon-like or comic-like, without either of these terms giving any idea of the effect they create. The tonal range is narrow, colours sombre and earthy, forms clearly defined through deep shading. The impact is rhythmic, hypnotic, the use of heavy, overlain blacks recalling the ritual processes of ancient Egyptian art. Yet if these images bring to mind the wax portraits seen on Coptic Era mummies – a postcard of one of which hangs in Newsome's studio – those faces, with their large, lustrous black eyes attempt individualised likenesses. Newsome's images are hieratic: attempts to create the stylised idea of a person that may have full meaning only for the artist himself.
An image lying on a table in Newsome's studio provides a clue to the intentions of his Saviours and Madonnas: a newspaper picture of Osama bin Laden.
Intrigued by the story of a virgin birth to a Komodo Dragon at Colchester Zoo shortly before Christmas 2006, Newsome began recreating in his mind the circumstances of the most famous virgin birth, and the events that proceeded from it, in a matter-of-fact manner appropriate to a creator of images. These were Middle Eastern people, Newsome reasons. Mother and son would have looked very alike. Bin Laden's is one of many faces that have fed into this stream of images – along with Anne Frank, Kate Moss and an anonymous Iranian woman condemned to death for adultery.
Newsome's images have developed through a long process of repetition and refinement. They have no overt religious intent, but have been brought into being simply to create the most powerful image possible. Newsome's responsibility is to art, not spirituality. While they confirm Newsome's sense of himself as part of a long tradition of representational art, their concern with typology, with finding a collective image that will 'allow the mind to work on other levels', as Jasper Johns put it, feel very contemporary.

Eating For Exercise: The 5 Worst Ways to Fuel Up Pre-Workout
What do you eat before your workout? The wrong foods can wreak havoc on your body—and sabotage your exercise routine.
All psyched up for that killer session in the gym? Having explosive energy is key, but eating the wrong foods too close to go-time can really ruin your workout and set your training back in a big way.
"Putting the wrong things in your tank before you exercise can leave you lethargic, crash your system, or cause wicked cramps," says Jim White, R.D., a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. "And going on empty can do the same."
So don't doom your cardio or weight session before it even starts. Here, the biggest pre-workout diet mistakes many men make—and why you should avoid them.

 The trail was clear, although the terrain was rough. Hills and rocks and slides were as much a part of the trail as asphalt is to a highway. Throughout the whole length, a short step too far would carry you over the edge which dropped hundreds of feet where the only thing to break the fall was the ground itself.

Perpignan eye immediate revenge
August 11, 2010
Last season's Top 14 finalists Clermont and Perpignan face each other on the opening day of the new season on Friday © Getty Images
The scenes were memorable and lasting as Clermont Auvergne were finally crowned the champions of France back in late May. The huge outpouring of emotion provided a feel-good end to the Top 14 season.
Beating Perpignan in that match ended a 74-year wait, stretching across eleven finals, but now all those memories are pushed to one side as we're on the cusp of the new season and Perpignan have the chance to exact immediate revenge, not that Vern Cotter's Clermont side will budge an inch.
The sides meet on Friday at the Aime Giral in Perpignan where it's unlikely that Clermont will be caught napping. The weighty and unwieldy 'choker' tag has been removed from around their necks but the pressure is on as an opening round win is not to be sniffed at before all hell breaks loose in the rush to the play-offs in distant May. There is a lot at stake.
Both have been active in pre-season preparation, with Perpignan being shaded 29-30 by Racing Metro and Clermont beating Sale Sharks 26-8 this past weekend in their last fine-tuning exercise.
For Perpignan their main concern is at fly-half as Nicolas Laharrague has been ruled out for three months after being injured in pre-season. Steve Meyer left the club last season, already leaving them short in that department, meaning that centre Gavin Hume could well have been their only back-up stand-off. So they've had to turn to a familiar face in the former Bayonne and Wallabies fly-half Manny Edmonds, who signed a three month deal to cover for the injury, after previously joining the club as backline coach.
Up front the home side will be as grizzled as ever, led by the tough Nicolas Mas and the fiery Marius Tincu, so it's unlikely that they'll be pushed around on their home track by the visitors.
Clermont's squad will boast a hugely familiar look to it as the core of last season's champion side make their way to the coastal town for this clash. It's a game that could well see Les Jaunards come out on top - primarily because of class of their likely half-back pairing of Morgan Parra and Brock James but also the danger of their strike runners in Napolioni Nalaga, Marius Joubert and new face Sione Lauaki.
Perpignan rarely lose at home however and their fans will turn up the volume in order to ensure a running start. Can the Clermont feel-good factor silence the Aime Giral?

Two ocean-view pools steal the show at this grand hotel. The entertainment is well worth staying in for, too.
There's a colonial feel to this stylish hotel, with its high ceilings and dark-wood detail. But the first thing you're likely to notice is the ocean view – it's particularly impressive from the 2 lagoon pools.
A mix of local and international dishes makes the menu in the buffet restaurant, while the entertainment features everything from piano music to flamenco dancing. The nearest beach and bars are only a 10-minute walk away.

500 Internal Server Error
In this tutorial:
The 500 Internal Server Error can be very frustrating because it is such a vague error. In addition to the error message text itself being vague, there are actually several different issues that can cause the 500 error message to appear. This can lead to headaches for troubleshooters.
What causes 500 Internal Server Errors?
Here are the three most common reasons:
- Incorrect file permissons - Most commonly having a file as "world" writeable. This is a very common issue with PHP files. In general on our servers, PHP file permissions should not be higher than 775. Keep in mind too that the permissions of the parent folders/directories need to be set correctly too. See our File Permissons article for more information, including how to change those permissions.
- Leaving file permissions set incorrectly after manual installation of content management systems, forums, blogs, etc.
- Coding errors in the .htaccess file.
Correcting a 500 Server Error:
To track down what is causing the error, you will want to start with the error log in cPanel. Once you are logged into your cPanel look for and click on the "Error Log" icon under "Logs."
For example, if I set a PHP file to 777 permisions (writeable by the world) this will cause a 500 Internal Server Error. I would be able to view something similar to the following in my Error Log:
[Tue Sep 20 08:18:01 2011] [error] [client 220.127.116.11] SoftException in Application.cpp:264: File "/home/username/public_html/concrete/index.php" is writeable by others
I would correct this by changing the permissions of the index.php file to 644.
Perl Scripts and 500 Errors
While a 500 error from a Perl script error may not be common, it can be even harder to track down because the cPanel Error Log does not tell us in this case what specifically caused the 500 error message. You will want to track down the code causing the error. It can even be something as simple as one missing character in your code. For instance, in the following code:
print "content-type: text/html \n\n"
print "Hello, PERL!";
The second line is missing a semi-colon at the end, so:
There are many different possible causes of 500 errors, so it is difficult to give an example of each and every situation. If you've looked for the above causes but are unsure on what needs to be done next to fix the problem, please contact technical support. We're available 24/7 and we're always happy to help.

Hi, I am trying to get a single page site up and running using a theme I purchased, but it is failing to load nearly all image assets, I am getting 500 errors in the console and network tabs of my browsers.I have gone through and checked the permissions of the relevant files (755) and folders (644) but haven't found any indication why this would happen. Most of these images are static referenced from a html page.The url is http://thedigitalworkshop.com.auThe weird thing is if I work out the direct URL of the image, I can navigate to that successfully, this issue is weirding me out!Also, I can't see anything in the logs in CPanel...Any help is much appreciated.
2014-05-05 12:20 pm
Hello Chris,
In investigating your issue I discovered two actual problems. The reason the images were not showing for the thedigitalworkshop.com.au domain is because of the .htaccess hotlink prevention code in your primary domain name. .htaccess files are recursive so the rules apply to all folders underneath them. The code was also restricting things in the addon domain since they were not from the primary domain name. I was able to correct that in a test .htaccess file.
The second issue was that the default image you wanted to display for hotlinking was not showing up. This is why you were unable to see that this was the cause. The hotlink protection code points to an image that is also hotlink protected. This sends the server into an endless loop and will not display anything. After fixing this issue, the addon domain displayed the default image all over it. The image you want to display has to be external to the site to prevent the looping. For the test, I called an image from imgur that says Do Not Hotlink. This works well.
Both issues were simply the result of the htaccess code for hotlinking not performing as it should. The original code is below. (example.com is used in place of your primary domain name for privacy).
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.+\.)?example\.com/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteRule .*\.(jpg|gif|bmp|png)$ /images/dontsteal.jpg [L]
While not perfect, the code below is what I ended up with. (example.com is used in place of your primary domain name for privacy).
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} example.com$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteRule .*\.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ http://i.imgur.com/qX4w7.gif [L]
I saved your original .htaccess file as .htaccess.original to preserve your original code so you can see and left the modified .htaccess file in place. Both the addon domain and the hotlinking warnign image are now working. Feel free to replace the imgur-linked image with one of your own, but remember to not store it in the hotlink protected domain.
Kindest Regards,

My site has been showing an internal server error since this morning but there are no errors in my error log. What further steps can I take to try to identify the problem and resolve it?
Thank you
2014-06-13 9:57 am
This is typically caused by an issue within your .htaccess file. I recommend using the cPanel File Manager to open your .htaccess file and take a look at it.
2014-06-13 10:38 am
Hi Jeff, thank you for the quick reply. I've got the file open and am comparing it to a generic WordPress file but I'm afraid I don't see anything wrong. Do you have any other suggestions?
2014-06-13 10:41 am
Try renaming any .htaccess files that are within your home directory, public_html directory, or any others that may be hiding in there.
2014-06-13 10:47 am
Ok! I'm a total beginner at this so just to check: what should I be renaming them to? .ht anything? Thank you for being so quick with your replies, I really appreciate it!
2014-06-13 11:03 am
Anything other than .htaccess is perfectly fine. Personally, I name them .htaccess.old.
2014-06-13 11:09 am
Thanks! I've done a search for all .htaccess files (only two) and have renamed them as you suggested. Now a new .htaccess file has appeared but it's empty. Am I supposed to do something with that file? I still get the 500 internal server error on the site.
2014-06-13 11:13 am
Empty .htaccess files are fine. Are you hosted with us? Could you provide me with the domain for the site that you are having issues with?

Hello Sophie,
Sorry for the problem! I was able to find the issue as a problem with the php.ini file. We have a default one that is running directly from the server. I set it to use that one and the site works okay now. The php.ini on your site was referencing an older function. I simply renamed it so that the server php.ini would take precedence and then the site worked fine.
Let us know if you have any further issues!
Kindest regards,
Arnel C.

Hi Sophie,
Sorry for that problem! If you recently imported a WordPress site from another location, one of the things that needs to be reset is the permalinks. This can be found in your Admin dashboard under Settings (you can also reference our article Setting up Permalinks if needed).
To reset your permalinks you make a copy of our custom permalinks from before, then click on DEFAULT in the permalinks structure and save. This will make the links that ugly number-code string that it uses by default. After it's saved, simply paste your custom permalinks back in and save. This will rebuild the links in the database with the correct path.
I've done this for you already - as it's a pretty quick fix, but I just wanted to let you know how that works. Let me know if you're still seeing a problem with the pages. If you are, make sure to first clear your browser cache. This will make sure that your browser isn't using the old paths.
Hope that helps! Please let us know if you have any further issues!

euhm.. what do i do if i Need to set a folder CHMOD to 777 for something? for example i've been trying to use some PHP scripts for showing news via MYSQL on my web, but it won't work if i don't set the perms to 777, somehow the "log in" from the news Admin panel brings me back to the "log in" page even if i enter the correct user and password, given in the instructions of the PHP script...
so i'm trapped between the 500 error and the requeriments of the PHP script
ty very much in advance. PS. if you know a good (free) PHP script that shows notices on your page and lets you modify them WYSIWYG and that works without the need of CHMODing to 777, i'd thank you Very much!
2014-06-16 8:47 am
Setting scripts and folders to 777 is extremely dangerous. So dangerous, in fact, that setting these permissions opens your site to becoming hacked within seconds. If your script requires you to set permissions to 777, I highly recommend finding another script as this one would be very poorly coded and greatly opens you up to attack.
2014-06-21 12:04 pm
Hi Guys,
Just FYI, I had the same issue that Sophie was dealing with. I removed the php.ini file from my home directory and the site worked again.
I'm assuming there's lots of other people out there that may be experiencing the same issue. Thank you for making the fix public. It saved me a lot of time.

I'm trying to set up security with php and mysqli for a small database. Opening the login page throws the 500 Internal Server error. The error log shows File does not exist: /home/.../public_html/500.shtml.
I start the login.php page:
include_once 'php/db_connect.php';
include_once 'php/functions.php';
if (login_check($mysqli) == true) {
$logged = 'in';
} else {
$logged = 'out';
The functions.php page starts with this function:
include_once 'php/psl-config.php';
function sec_session_start() {
$session_name = 'sec_session_id'; // Set a custom session name
$secure = 'SECURE';
// This stops JavaScript being able to access the session id.
$httponly = true;
// Forces sessions to only use cookies.
if (!ini_set('session.use_only_cookies', 1)) {
header("php/error.php?err=Could not initiate a safe session (ini_set)");
// Gets current cookies params.
$cookieParams = session_get_cookie_params();
session_set_cookie_params($cookieParams["lifetime"], $cookieParams["path"], $cookieParams["domain"], $secure, $httponly);
// Sets the session name to the one set above.
session_start(); // Start the PHP session
session_regenerate_id(); // regenerated the session, delete the old one.
and the db_connect.php only has
include_once 'php/psl-config.php'; // Needed because functions.php is not included
$mysqli = new mysqli(HOST, USER, PASSWORD, DATABASE);
if ($mysqli->connect_error) {
header("php/error.php?err=Unable to connect to MySQL");
the psl-config.php page just defines the database parameters
* These are the database login details
define("HOST", "localhost"); // The host you want to connect to.
define("USER", "me"); // The database username.
define("PASSWORD", "*****"); // The database password.
define("DATABASE", "mydatabase"); // The database name.
Any idea what the issue is?

Hello Gene,
Thanks for the question. Since we have no way of seeing the files or error logs for your site (without any account information or access), then we're only guessing at the possible cause of the 500 error. One thing you can do is to create a PHP file that exists on your site (something simple like "hello world!"), then use it to see if your problem is in your code. You can set the reference in difference places and then see where the problem lies. Sorry we can't give you more specifics, but again, we would need to be able to access to the site files and logs to see what's happening.
Arnel C.
2014-06-24 2:00 pm
I think it's a path issue, but dammed if I can find it. I can give account info off line if you're inclinded to look. Otherwise I'll keep looking.
2014-06-24 2:21 pm
Hello Gene,
Does your web host use cPanel? If so you should be able to click on Error Log under the Logs section to actually see the real error message. Or you should be able to contact them to review the Apache error log to see what the actual error message is.
The error you're getting now is simply stating that you're getting a 500 internal server error and that it can't locate the 500.shtml page to display the generic error.
If there is a problem with your PHP script, typically PHP will spit out a line number that is causing the problem. So you more than likely are running into a permission issue, or something at the server level attempting to be loaded by PHP such as Zend Loader or another extension is having problems.
Unfortunately really the only way to tell would be looking at the actual error message being generated on the server, and not just the front-end 500 error.

The cPanel error log:
[Tue Jun 24 11:23:57 2014] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx File does not exist: /home/.../public_html/500.shtml
I've was getting several of these errors this morning on opening the login.php page. I cleaned them all up by fixing some of the include_once 'myfile.php' statement paths, but now I'm just getting this one error and I'm stuck.
2014-06-24 2:43 pm
Hello Gene,
Typically a server is setup to log any 500 internal server errors, but it seems like you might have an .htaccess file or your Apache config settings are set to ErrorDocument 500 500.shtml for custom error pages, so the only error the server is logging for you is that it can't find that custom error document when attempting to handle a 500 error.
Since your PHP scripts are not very long, I might recommend commenting out the entire file and then uncomment it line by line until you trigger a 500 error again to see what the culprit is. You might also want to match up the time stamp from when the 500 error was triggered in the Apache error log, with your site's access-logs to ensure the 500 error is actually being triggered by the PHP script you think is the problem.

2014-06-24 3:40 pm
I believe my issue is the path in the include_once statements
include_once 'php/db_connect.php';
include_once 'home/mediqxX/public_html/php/db_connect.php';
makes the 500 Internal Server error go away, but now I have
Warning: include_once(home/mediqxX/public_html/php/db_connect.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/mediqxX/public_html/login.php on line 3
So I believe the issue is all about the path.
2014-06-24 3:57 pm
Hello Gene,
It sounds like you're on the right track. The new error message also provides a more specific location. Thanks for letting us know what you've found.
Kindest regards,
Arnel C.
2014-06-24 4:07 pm
I can't figure out what's wrong with the path unless it has something to do with the php.in file. I'm not versed enough to know if it is or not.
2014-06-24 4:28 pm
Hello Gene,
It looks like you need to change:
include_once 'home/mediqxX/public_html/php/db_connect.php';
include_once '/home/mediqxX/public_html/php/db_connect.php';
Otherwise without the / the server is going to be interpreting the home directory as a relative instead of a full path, and won't find the db_connect.php script . However once you've included the correct file, more than likely you're going to get the generic 500 error again stating it can't find your custom 500.shtml error page.
This is because it seems like having the include set to a relative path of php/db_connect.php it was correctly finding the file so you didn't get any PHP errors, but then something in that script then triggered a 500 internal server error. Now that you've placed an incorrect path PHP is catching it and displaying that error before it triggers a server error.
You would really want to look to see why your 500 errors are not being logged and instead trying to go to a custom 500 error page. Because more than likely that is what's ultimately hiding the real problem which is more than likely a permission issue, or PHP extension or something of that nature that you're trying to use that the server doesn't have.
If you host is unable to take a look at this, we can take a look if you provide us either SSH or FTP access to the account. You can go ahead and just comment back to this post with that info and we won't make any private information public before approving your comment to be posted.

okay I'm here at inmotion hosting. The login is my email address for the domain
Everything I'm doing now should be around the login.php page, the donorList.php and those php pages in the php folder.
2014-06-24 5:59 pm
Hello Gene,
Because you are an InMotion Hosting customer, in the future you might want to submit a ticket for this type of issue so that we know right away we have access to look around your account instead of guessing what the problem could be.
Taking a look through your files, the following files had to be updated to include the correct path for your include_once statements:
Once all of those were corrected the actual 500 error being logged in Apache was:
Zend Guard Loader requires Zend Engine API version 220090626
It looks like your /home/userna5/.htaccess file has been set to default your account to use PHP 5.2, and your site was also loading your local /public_html/php.ini file which was causing the Zend Guard problem. We have a guide on Zend Optimizer vs Zend Guard that explains that Zend Optimizer can only be used on PHP 5.2 and older versions while Zend Guard is used in PHP 5.3 and newer, are you actively using either of these in your PHP scripts?
When I temporarily moved your php.ini file out of place to php.ini-BAK so that the server-wide one is used instead, your login.php script then triggers this error:
malformed header from script. Bad header=error.php?err=Could not initia: login.php
If I follow our guide on using multiple versions of PHP on one account and edit your /public_html/.htaccess file to default to PHP 5.3 instead with this line:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php
Your login.php page then pulls up without any errors. But then when I attempt to login using the form on that page it then redirects me to /php/process_login.php and it's just a blank page.
I'm not sure if you needed PHP 5.2 for other aspects of your site, so I've gone ahead and left the code to activate PHP 5.3 commented out in your /public_html/.htaccess file.
Because even just a simple PHP script with phpinfo(); was still throwing a Zend error I've gone ahead and left your php.ini file as php.ini-BAK.
It sounds like if you switch your account to PHP 5.3 then you just need to work on the coding of your login form, as that seems to resolve the 500 server errors.

2014-07-09 4:36 am
Hello Zhe,
Sorry for the troubles, I see that you've already contacted support about this issue and they seem to have resolved the problem.
It looks like when your server recently had the default version of PHP updated to PHP 5.4 this possibly caused issues with your current scripts.
In your home directory the .htaccess file had this code placed in it:
# Use PHP53 as default
This sets your account to revert back and use PHP 5.3 for PHP scripts instead.
If you encounter any other similar issues on your account, you might be interested in knowing that you can run multiple versions of PHP on one account.
Please let us know if you're still having any issues at all.

I removed your domain name and any IP references. These errors are likely the result of an server upgrade of PHP. There are a few suggestions that may help to resolve the problem:
You can add the following to your .htaccess file (as per the post above):
# Use PHP53 as default
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php53 .php
You can also try re-naming the PHP.INI file to something like PHP.BACKUP so that it uses the server default file. I'm unable to verify exactly where you're having the problem at this point since we don't have an exact URL. Can you try using the suggestions above and then let us know if the issue is still happening? If you do continue to have the problem, please provide more information on how we can duplicate the error so that we can investigate it further.

Hello, I got an 500 internal server error again, this time all my websites are down. The error log stated:
.htaccess: AddHandler requires at least two arguments, a handler name followed by one or more file extensions
I am not sure if I should do what I did before (changing the php.ini file to backup).
Please advise before I try that

I seem to be getting the 500 Error only when trying to access Plugins from my Dashboard preventing me from installing any plugins. I have deleted all my plugins through my FTP to no avail. Has anyone else dealt with this and discovered a solution? I'm striking out.
2014-09-22 12:48 pm
Hello Brian,
Sorry for the problem you were having. It was related to the version of PHP that you were running in cPanel. It was set to php5.2. I set it to PHP 5.4 and then errors stopped happening. I tested with a test admin and I was able to see the Install Plugins (and other pages) without the 500 error any more.
Check it out - make sure to clear your browser cache before jumping into the pages. If you're still having any problems, please let us know!

hi, I have a problem with ver 1.6 prestashop module payment by bank transfer to the following error 500 Server Error Oops, something went wrong. Try to refresh this page or feel free to contact us if the problem persists. I also changed the permissions in the form bankwire but does not work can you help me? thanks
2014-10-20 12:58 pm
Hello Angelo,
Sorry for the problem that you're having. I turned on the error reporting (you can find out how to do this by going here) and discovered more specifics on the error:
Can't load Order status at line 174 in file classes/PaymentModule.php
I looked up the issue and the suggested fix requires some database work.
You have to re-insert all default order status tables. Create a fresh PrestaShop 1.6 install, and then open the database in phpmyadmin (or your favorite mySQL client). Export the following tables
Finally, import these tables into your current PrestaShop database. Please let us know if this helps to resolve the issue. If you have any further questions or comments, please let us know.

I've contacted support a couple times now regarding the 500 error. Everything was working just fine on previous web host. My main concern was getting my t-shirt pages fixed, which they were. These were fixed by basically copying all the code on the page and pasting it into a new page and saving that page the exact same name as the original, and renaming the broken one. But now that I went and checked older blog posts, there are a lot that are producing the 500 error. I contacted support earlier, and was told it may have something to do with my htcaccess file and or permalinks. I've done all that I could, tips even read here to resolve the issue, but I am still getting the error. I am keeping my fingers crossed that maybe someone else that has dealt with this issue at a higher extent, can finally help me to resolve it.
Link with error:http://www.shaolinchamber36.com/buddhist-blog/addiction-or-obsession/
The link provided was on Page 54, there are a lot more posts that do not work as well.
I would GREATLY appreciate any help with this issue. Thank you.
2014-11-04 9:54 am
This issue appears to be directly related to a plugin running on that page. Unfortunately, I am unable to go through each of your plugins as there are quite a few, but disabling all plugins was able to resolve the issue on the page. I recommend looking through each plugin that would be active there and disabling them one by one to see if the issue is then resolved.
2014-11-04 11:48 am
I appreciate you looking into the matter and the reply. On that particular page that I linked to, there is nothing special on that page that isn't on others. There are a lot of other pages giving the 500 error and some that aren't. I will go ahead and disable all plugins and test the page out, and then reactivate them 1 by 1.
Thanks again.
2014-11-04 1:14 pm
I went ahead and tried the plugin thing. Deactivated them all, and the page and others that were giving me the 500 error, all loaded. I started activated the plugins 1 by 1, and here are the ones that when activated, gave me the error once again.
NextGEN Gallery by Photocrati Version 126.96.36.199
WP Facebook Open Graph protocolVersion 2.0.11
WP Super CacheVersion 1.4.2
Not sure why, but I will have to leave these disabled from now on.
Thanks again for all your help JeffMa, much appreciated sir.
2014-11-04 1:21 pm
Now that you have identified the problematic plugins, my recommendation would be to first update anything that may be out of date. If that doesn't correct it, try deleting and reinstalling the plugins. Outside of that, you may want to contact the developer of the plugin. Sometimes, various plugins will interact with each other in unexpected ways so there may be some sort of issue there.

Darwined Core Buildings
This is a web service for storing buildings. It exposes a REST interface (with all the CRUD actions) using JSON as its message format.
It's built using Sinatra and ActiveRecord and uses RSpec for its tests.
A building has a name, a code and a location
- name of the building, like Thermodynamics Building.
- code of the building, like THE, should be unique
- location this building belongs to
A JSON representation of a building should be:
"id": 15,
"name": "Physics Building",
"code": "PHYSICS-EB69",
"location": "L-A",
"created_at": "2013-07-11T00:03:11-04:00",

Kris was awesome. We had him do our engagement photos which adorn our new house right now, and we can only assume that our wedding photos turned out as wonderful as they did. What I appreciated the most was that during the day of our wedding we were running behind, and Kris was fully professional and very much made use of the time he was given. He understood that we wanted to go inside and have fun, and not be outside posing for pictures! It was like boom boom boom done. Which I, watching the clock the entire time, TOOOOOOTALLY appreciated. He was professional, he got the job done, did all of the pictures we asked of him, and was incredibly quick with his equipment, changing out lenses and whatnot. Needless to say, if things are going a bit crazy but you still want quality work done, go with Kris, we were very pleased with his work, and with his work ethic! We even got the shot that my father wanted which was with his friends and his two girls :) I would most certainly recommend him!

We had the pleasure of having Kreativ Imaging photograph our wedding as well as our engagement pictures. The decision of choosing a photographer was extremely important to us because we all know how important it is to capture these very special moments in our lives. We are so glad that we chose Kreativ Imaging to be with us on our big day. Kristofer is very professional and extremely attentive. It was reassuring to me that he was there capturing the day and all of the details because he has a great talent and is very thorough and communicative. One of the best vendor decisions I made throughout the whole process!

Kristofer was definitely one of our best "finds" for our wedding. He was very professional, energetic, and made us feel comfortable with him. While we haven't received our photos just yet, we have full confidence that they will look amazing. During our reception, Kristofer played a slide show of the pictures he had taken so far that day. All of our guests were impressed with how great of a job he had done and kept complimenting him and his work. We can't wait to see our pictures and we definitely recommend him!

His packages are very reasonable and he let me pick and choose what I wanted exactly.
I never gave him any "must have" photos or any inspiration photos, even though I meant to, so he was all on his own. He was at the venue before I was, scouting out places to take pics. He was very friendly and efficient. He didn't make us take any photos that made me cringe and was very capable of controlling our bridal party and moving things along.
What really got me though was the slideshow at the reception. He had a handful of pics from the day on his laptop running and they were so beautiful, I couldn't believe it. I had a bridesmaid cry, people asking who this awesome photog was, etc.
The final photos were beautiful! I highly recommend him1

If you talked to me at all during the planning process, I am sure you know all about how much we adore Kris. He was the find of the century. His talent and pricing are too good to be true. Kris was definitely more like a friend to us than a vendor. His patience was tested considering I literally emailed him 140 times in one year.... he deserves a medal of honor for putting up with me.

Millburn, NJ 07041
The objective of this study was to develop an economical method of reducing the toxicity
of process wastewater from a facility formulating industrial and commercial cleaners.
Since the wastewater was discharged to a sewer system and eventually treated in an
activated sludge plant, influent toxicity as measured by the Microtox\u00ae test, was of
concern to the recipient publicly owned treatment works (POTW). The major source of
toxicity was suspected to be nonylphenol-based, ethoxylated surfactants. The
pretreatment schemes investigated included powdered activated carbon (PAC) addition in
batch tests and activated sludge treatment in continuous flow reactors, with and without
activated carbon addition. The average carbon dose required for reduction of toxicity to
the target value of EC\ue002\ue000 of 30% in batch PAC treatment, was 31,000mg/l. Biological
activated sludge treatment was not capable of reducing toxicity to the required level.
High and variable fixed dissolved solids (22,000mg/l, on average) in the process
wastewater contributed to the poor performance of the activated sludge. Addition of
activated carbon to the biological reactors (PACT) was effective in stabilizing biological
system performance. The carbon dose required to achieve the target effluent toxicity was
2,000mg/l. This is an order of magnitude less than powdered carbon alone thus,
demonstrating the economic benefits of the combined biological and activated carbon
The process wastewater in question was generated at a large facility formulating and
packaging finished products, consisting mostly of industrial and commercial cleaners.
Process wastewater resulted from the wash down of kettles, material handling equipment,
storage facilities and floors. The process wastewater, along with stormwater and sanitary
wastewater, was equalized and batch-neutralized prior to discharge to a large municipal
collection system, where it was eventually treated at an activated sludge plant operating
in a contact-stabilization mode.
The discharge was regulated by a state significant industrial user permit, as well as
governed by the local pretreatment ordinance. With respect to these permits, the major
pollutants of concern were petroleum hydrocarbons (PHC), oil and grease (O&G), TKN,
as well as certain volatile organic compounds. While those concerns were being
addressed by a variety of measures including waste minimization, pollution prevention
and physical-chemical pretreatment, the recipient sewer authority expressed concern over
the toxicity of the process wastewater to its activated sludge system, as measured by
Microtox\u00ae. (Please note that any references to toxicity in this text are meant as toxicity
as measured by Microtox, unless indicated otherwise).
effective concentration (EC\ue002\ue000, in percent), which identifies sample dilution that causes a
50% decrease in the light emission after a specific exposure time (typically 5 or 15
minutes). The test was developed in the late 70\u2019s (Bullich, 1979) and commercialized in
the early 80\u2019s. A correlation between Microtox toxicity and heterogeneous biomass
respiration inhibition has been demonstrated by Gaiek and Cole (1993). While
respirometry and other methods for assessing toxicity thresholds to activated sludge are
available (Patoczka et al., 1989), Microtox remains a surrogate method of choice for
screening wastewater for potential toxicity, to a biological treatment process.
A general correlation between Microtox and bioassay (fathead minnow) toxicity had been
established for more than 200 specific compounds (Kaiser and Palabrica, 1991).
However, correlation between any specific, complex wastestream bioassay toxicity and
Microtox, could vary from strong to non-existing (Lankford et al., 1987). In any case, the
Microtox test is not an appropriate test for assessing treated, whole effluent toxicity
(WET) to the aquatic environment. This is due to its relatively low sensitivity and lack of
demonstrated correlation with aquatic toxicity tests for complex effluents at the range of
marginal toxicity of interest in WET testing (Arbuckle and Alleman, 1992). Also, one
available study found no correlation between influent Microtox toxicity, and trickling
filter effluent acute toxicity to fathead minnows (Killam Associates, 1994).
Microtox EC\ue002\ue000 values recorded in raw wastewater in seven Northern New Jersey
municipal sewer systems varied widely from 2 to 50%, with typical values being in a
range of 10 to 30% (Killam Associates, 1992). Besides diverse industrial and commercial
contribution, the degree of septicity is likely to play a role in this variability. The
EC\ue002\ue000 above 30% in combined raw wastewater and consequently, in all contributing
streams. These toxicity concerns were identified at a time when an onsite, pilot plant
ultrafiltration (UF) study was being conducted at the industrial facility, which is the
subject of this study. Microtox testing performed on the UF permeate indicated that UF
was not effective in reducing toxicity.
The objective of the research detailed in this paper, was to develop a cost effective
method of achieving the target EC\ue002\ue000 value of 30%, or 3.3 Toxic Units (TU). Toxic Units
are equal to 100/EC\ue002\ue000,
and represent mass (or concentration) of a hypothetical toxicant present in wastewater. Consequently, TU are the preferred units for presenting toxicity data and for calculation of such statistics, as removal efficiency and average toxicity.
Since the process wastewater EC\ue002\ue000 was in the range 0.003 to 0.25% at the time of the
experimental work detailed here, a considerable toxicity reduction was needed to achieve
the target value. It was recognized that surfactants, particularly nonylphenol-based
ethoxylates (NPE), were a likely cause of the toxicity.
The wastewater was fairly concentrated, with average COD in the 10,000 to 15,000mg/l
range. Based on the material mass balance, a significant part of its organic components
were NPEs. NPEs biograde slower, as compared to alcohol-based ethoxylated surfactants
(Mann and Reid, 1971; Stiff et al., 1973 Kravetz et al., 1983). Both the original
compounds and byproducts of NPEs partial degradation are toxic to aquatic life
(Yoshimura, 1986; Patoczka and Pulliam, 1990). Some possible NPE biodegradation
pathways could actually generate byproducts that are more toxic than the original
compound. Due to their lipophilic nature, (affinity to lipids, main constituent of cell
membrane) they tend to absorb at the bacterial surface, disrupting membrane functions
and causing toxicity to activated sludge microorganisms and luminescent bacteria, used
for toxicity determination in the Microtox test. Indeed, a significant adsorption of NPEs
on activated sludge was directly demonstrated (Patoczka and Pulliam, 1990). At the same
time, activated sludge was demonstrated to substantially degrade NPE at concentrations
up to 500mg/l (Patoczka and Pulliam, 1990; Figueroa and Miller, 1993). The former
study demonstrated that aquatic toxicity of NPE-based feed, was significantly reduced by

Exclusive: The U.S. political climate might change if Americans understood how much the federal government did to create the infrastructure behind many business fortunes, including the Internet and computer technology. That narrative would justify higher taxes on the rich to repay the nation and allow for future R&D, writes Robert Parry.
Foreign Policy
The Absurd US Bases in Japan
Anticipating a return to power after Republicans win in 2012, the neocons are now in a delaying game to stop any serious cuts in the U.S. military budget, including in the global network of bases, even in countries like Japan where – as Robert Higgs notes – the national security rationale has long since disappeared.
Nuke Plant Battle in Kansas City
A dispute in Kansas City over a new plant for modernizing U.S. nuclear weapons has drawn local opposition and international attention as political and religious leaders question the Obama administration's commitment to a nuke-free world, Lawrence S. Wittner writes.
Petraeus's New 'Killing Machine'
The CIA is now "one hell of a killing machine," said one CIA insider, as lethal drones hunt down "bad guys" selected for death by a ramped-up force of CIA target analysts. This shift in emphasis has transformed the spy agency that new director, retired Gen. David Petraeus, inherits, writes Gareth Porter.
9/11: Incompetence and Dishonesty
At the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, there will be much commentary about lessons learned. To former FBI agent Coleen Rowley, who tried to ring the alarm before the attacks, one enduring realization is the incompetence, hubris and dishonesty that pervades all levels of government.
Turkey Stands Up to Israel
Often in the application of international law, it's not what a country did but who its friends – and who its enemies – are that count. In that light, Israel, a close U.S. friend, got the blessings of a UN report for its attacks against Gaza-bound civilian ships on the high seas, a stamp of…
Is Obama to Blame for America's Mess?
Exclusive: With the 2009 stimulus money running dry and with businesses unnerved by Washington's political gridlock and brinksmanship, America's weak "recovery" has stalled, prompting more criticism of President Barack Obama. Robert Parry explores whether these complaints are fair.
Real-World Motives for Libya War
The West has buffered the war in Libya with layers of propaganda, including Orwellian claims about "protecting civilians" even as NATO warplanes kill civilians. The obvious real goal was "regime change," the removal of Muammar Gaddafi, but historian William Blum explores what else was afoot.
Why Do All Hail Gen. Petraeus?
Exclusive: Iraq continues its drift toward a failed state, amid terror bombings, sectarian violence and a devastated infrastructure. Also, the strategic winner from George W. Bush's invasion looks to be neighboring Iran. So, asks Robert Parry, why is Official Washington celebrating Gen. David Petraeus for his "successful surge"?
Hariri Murder Sleuths Ignored al-Qaeda
From the start, the United Nations-sponsored inquiry into the 2005 murder of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri has looked more like an agit-prop campaign, first aimed at Syria and now Hezbollah, than an impartial investigation into the crime. Gareth Porter notes the inquiry's curious blind eye toward an al-Qaeda confession.
