Codeigniter 3 and Twitter authentication
Why Codeigniter? In my everyday job I've been using Laravel in the last 2 years. Yes, it is a good framework, lots of functionality, beautiful codebase…, but sometimes it is just feels to much to me. Sometimes I want a more light-weighted stuff. I used to work with Codeigniter a few years ago, so I wanted to try how it feels these days. I can tell you: it feels good .
Basic steps of user authentication
- User visits our page
- Check if already logged in
- If yes, let browsing
- If not login with twitter account
- Save user details into the db
- Remember the user
These are the basic steps, this is how I want my authentication system to work.
Setup Codeigniter
It is very easy to run a Codeigniter app. Just download and unzip it, run
php -S localhost:8080 and it is ready to go, but I prefer to use valet as my development environment (only for Mac). For this app I use
mysql database (in the valet installation there is a help how to install it on Mac).
Public folder
My first step with every CI app is to create a
public folder and put the
index.php in it (valet handles it out of the box, but other servers may needs extra config) and modify the system and application folder variables:
// public/index.php
// ...
$system_path = '../system';
// ...
$application_folder = '../application';
Twitter uses oauth to authenticate users. For
oauth authentication I picked league/oauth1-client package. They have a very simple twitter example. The easiest way to install this package is to use composer.
$ composer require league/oauth1-client
Codeigniter is ready to use composer and can auto-load:
// application/config/config.php
// ...
$config['composer_autoload'] = '../vendor/autoload.php';
Get user data from twitter
I need a route to user login:
auth/login. I want to stay close to the box (I mean to the framework) during the whole project, so I need an Auth Controller with a login method. I use the example from the oauth client's github repository for the authentication process. It is a one page php file in the example so I convert a little bit to use in the controller
The first part of the process is the basic oath: get the credentials from twitter (the user has to give the permission to our app - ooh, forget to mention, you need a twitter app https://apps.twitter.com/) and with the given credentials we can get user's data from twitter. If the user doesn't give the permission we redirect back and flash a message.
// application/controllers/Auth.php
// get user data from twitter
// ...
$twitter_user = $this->server->getUserDetails($tokenCredentials);
$twitter_user = [
'uid' => $twitter_user->uid,
'nickname' => $twitter_user->nickname,
'email' => $twitter_user->email,
'name' => $twitter_user->name,
'avatar' => $twitter_user->imageUrl,
'token' => $tokenCredentials->getIdentifier(),
'token_secret' => $tokenCredentials->getSecret()
When I have the data from user our part of the process begins.
// application/controllers/Auth.php
// get the user from the model, login and remember
$user = $this->user_model->from_oauth($twitter_user);
Create or find user
I need a database, a user table in it and a
user_model. I use Sequel Pro for mySql databases. I create a
database folder in my project root and save the
create_table.sql. in it (and run on my database).
The user create process:
- Find the user by the twitter uid
- If we can't find the user, create one with the given data from twitter
- In the end give back the found or the newly created user
// application/models/User_model.php
// ...
public function from_oauth($oauth_user)
return $this->find_by('uid', $oauth_user['uid']) ?:
public function find_by($attribute, $value)
$query = $this->db->get_where('users', [$attribute => $value], 1);
return $query->row();
public function create_from_oauth($oauth_user)
if ($user = $this->find_by('nickname', $oauth_user['nickname']))
['nickname' => $user->nickname . '-' . $user->id],
['id' => $user->id]
return $this->db->insert('users', $oauth_user) ?
$this->find_by('id', $this->db->insert_id()) : FALSE;
In the
create_from_auth method I check if there is a user in the database with the same nickname. In this case I modify it in the db. The twitter nickname is unique on twitter but if somebody modify it after registered in my app and doesn't log in after the modification it is possible a new user picked the same nickname. I want the nickname unique in my application because I can use it as a slug for user's pages.
Login and remember user
Lots of apps has a remember me function: some of them are with a checkbox some of them are automatic. In this app it'll be automatic. The user stays login and remember it until logs out.
To handle the authentication I create a library:
Authenticate.php. This library responsible for anything connected to the actual user:
- login
- remember
- check if we have logged in user and who is it if yes
- logout
The basic login (without the remember me) is very simple:
- save the user's id into the session (Codeigniter has a session library, we don't have to implement that and I use the file session)
- to get back the logged in user we can check if the session has user_id and get this user from the db
// basic login and logged in user
// libraries/Authenticate.php simple version
public function login($user)
$this->CI->session->user_id = $user->id;
public function current_user()
if ($user_id = $this->CI->session->user_id)
$this->current_user = $this->current_user ?: $this->CI->user_model->find_by('id', $user_id);
return $this->current_user;
Note: the
$this->current_user is a protected property of the Authenticate library, so we don't have to touch the database multiple times if the
current_user appeared multiple times on the page. Easy to check it if we use Codeigniter profiling function. Just put this line in the Welcome controller:
The remember me version of the log in system is a little bit more complex. It starts with the
Authenticate->remember($user) function.
- save a remember token to the database
- save the user's id into a cookie
- save the remember token into a permanent (long life) cookie
// remember
// libraries/Authenticate.php
// ...
public function remember($user)
$remember_token = $this->CI->user_model->remember($user);
set_coded_permanent_cookie('user_id', $user->id);
set_permanent_cookie('remember_token', $remember_token);
The remember token is the user model's job:
// models/User_model.php
// ...
public function remember($user)
$remember_token = bin2hex(random_bytes(32));
$update_data = [
'remember_digest' => password_hash($remember_token, PASSWORD_DEFAULT)
$this->db->update('users', $update_data, ['id' => $user->id]);
return $remember_token;
- generate a random hexadecimal number
- save the hash version of this into to db (as the
remember_digestof the given user)
- send back the normal (not hashed) version of the token
Codeigniter has a very simple cookie helper but fortunately easy to extend it. I created three simple methods to extend this helper.
After I have the remember token:
set_coded_permanent_cookie('user_id', $user->id);
set_permanent_cookie('remember_token', $remember_token);
Save the coded version of id into a cookie and save the remember token into an other cookie. Permanent means 10 years in this case.
How this remember me works now?
With this line I can check in any of my controllers if the user is logged in or not:
$is_logged_in = $this->authenticate->is_logged_in();
What's happening under the hood?
// Authenticate.php
// ...
public function is_logged_in()
return ! ! $this->current_user();
public function current_user()
if ($user_id = $this->CI->session->user_id)
$this->current_user = $this->current_user ?: $this->CI->user_model->find_by('id', $user_id);
elseif ($user_id = get_coded_cookie('user_id'))
$user = $this->CI->user_model->find_by('id', $user_id);
if ($user && $this->CI->user_model->is_authenticated($user, get_cookie('remember_token')))
$this->current_user = $user;
return $this->current_user;
// User_model.php
// ...
public function is_authenticated($user, $token)
if (! $user->remember_digest)
return FALSE;
return password_verify($token, $user->remember_digest);
The current_user() has an extra
elseif now.
- if the user doesn't have a session (the session is valid only limited time) we try to get the user_id from the cookie (permanent cookie)
- if we found it, get the user from the db
- if the user exists check if the user remember token is valid
Note: in the
if and
elseif lines inside the brackets are not comparisons (which would use double-equals ==), but rather are assignments.
Codeigniter has a basic test library. It is really, really basic but I don't want to use other libraries so just some basic tests with this will do the job.
The easiest way to work with this library is to create a new controller, like
In the construct function call the library and because the test touches the database, close the live one and load the test db.
// controllers/Test.php
// ...
public function __construct()
I create one function so I can run the test in the browser on the
test/user_login route. This function contains 2 tests.
public function user_login()
$twitter_user = [
'uid' => '654321',
'nickname' => 'test_nick',
'email' => '[email protected]',
'name' => 'New Name',
'avatar' => 'http://via.placeholder.com/50x50',
'token' => 'token',
'token_secret' => 'secret'
$user_old = $this->user_model->find_by('uid', '123456');
$user_new = $this->user_model->find_by('uid', '654321');
$test_name = 'Old user get modified nickname';
$old_nick = 'test_nick-' . $user_old->id;
$this->unit->run($user_old->nickname, $old_nick, $test_name);
$test_name = 'New user get the nickname';
$this->unit->run($user_new->nickname, 'test_nick', $test_name);
echo $this->unit->report();
The test checks if a new user's nickname already in the database what will happen (modify the actual nickname in the database).
This is just a basic user login with Twitter and a basic remember me function with Codeigniter. Yes, Codeigniter is an old framework, but sometimes good to work with it. It is very simple, easy to learn and easy to work with it.
Some thinks can be upgraded, e.g. save the actual user data from twitter in every login, but for start it is ok.
And I forgot to mention that the user can logout:
public function logout()
$this->current_user = NULL;
public function forget($user)

6 Comments on "Writing Prompts – Creative Copy Challenge #418"
Braving the rush hour hustle and busle, she weaved her way through the milling crowd and entered the subway carriage that would take her to her destination in the city of dreams. Holding on to her scarf rustling in the harsh winter breeze, she settled onto the rear seat in the coach. "Finally", she said to herself, "her coveted job—the ticket to her independence was just an hour's ride away." Leaning back, she reminisced the struggles she had to endure back home in the past one year when her life went from being 'blissfully married' to being 'harrowingly widowed'—if there is any such expression. Her head shaved, her bright resplendent saris replaced by bland white ones, her chirpy smile gone, she looked a pale shadow of her former self. Letting loose their carnivore instincts, her husband's family tortured her to toe the line and lead the life of a hapless widow. It was after one of those ugly tussles with them that she decided to run away from home to the big city. Luckily, she was able to get in touch with her childhood friend who helped her in finding a job, and here she was on her way to the first day at the job. The sneeze of her co-passenger jolted her from her dreams. Smiling to herself, she said, bless you!

I know several gardeners. I'm not one. Used to be, but don't have time for it anymore – but I digress.
Changing your health is like planting a garden from seed. You have to prepare the soil. You have to plant seeds. You have to provide essentials like water, sunlight, plant food, fertilizer…you know – the stuff those little seeds need to sprout. And then you wait. You check and you wait. It may take several weeks before seedlings appear. And then you have to protect them from the whether. Tend to them. More waiting. Need to pull those weeds. Need to protect against bugs. And then there are outside elements you can't control, like the weather, that will challenge the success fo the garden. Eventually there will be flowers or veggies, but it's not something that happens in a week or two. It's nature and the gardener knows what to expect. Tending and waiting. Tending and waiting.
But that same gardener may start and quit new program for their own health before those seedlings break the soil. Why? Impatience. The body changes as soon as nutrients are ingested. It changes as soon as it moves. But the changes are microscopic. It takes consistent care – "tending" – for as long as it takes to see results. The body's garden needs to be "weeded" of toxins – processed foods, alcohol, tobacco, refined sugar…you know. The stuff we think we crave for a good reason, when the real reason is that these things rewire our brain to crave them – a lot like how a drug addict's brain is rewired. Sugar is an especially nasty drug to kick. I still crave it everyday. Changing body composition is especially a long, long process. Months and months of consistency will do it.
I used to jump from one program to another one too quickly. "Programs" advertised to produce results in x amount of time. If I didn't get results, I'd quit. I see people doing this now all the time. They do fad things – P90X, Insanity, BeachBody, workouts they find online – whatever. Not that any of these programs are bad programs, but they are basically exercise programs. The secret is that you have to keep doing them for weeks, for months, for years to give the biology a chance to work. The exercise program has to be supported with the right nutrient program. I don't see many people with the discipline to tend to their health like a garden. They get bored and switch programs thinking it's "not working". The truth is that it IS working, it HAS to work because it's our biology, but the changes are small at first. We need to change a LOT of cells before we see things changing in the mirror or on the scale.
It takes nature's time to change your whole body one cell at a time. Starts with the brain cells. Starts with the thinking and the attitude. And it's hard at first. The first year was the worst for me. Sheer force of will got me through the first phase until the habits were so ingrained that NOT working out and NOT logging my food felt weird. Now, exercise is my oxygen. It's my coping mechanism. If I eat junk (and I do – on purpose – about twice a month), I feel it the next day. My body and mind just doesn't work as well on those days. I imagine it's a little like watering a garden with soda.
Just a thought. Time for me to take this garden to bed. Up too late already.

Sold Out
The Icon Wallet for iPhone 8 Plus incorporates a slim, modern profile as well as several design directives to establish itself as the gold standard for iPhone wallet cases. The custom molded phone bed is reinforced for strength and includes a camera hole for your photographic pleasure. The case is then wrapped with premium genuine leather for a solid look and feel. But the apex of this design is in the cover. When closed, the cover is held in place by an elastic closure, providing protection for both your phone and your valuables. When open, the Icon boasts five card slots for ID or credit cards as well as two cash pockets tucked behind the card slots. Recommended for one card per slot.
Good as advertised
This is not the first, or second...or even third case I've bought from Hex. I love the lineup, love the quality, I love the handwritten notes that give your company a mom and pop kind of feel. Can't really say anything negative about the cases, they're stylish whilst uncompromising in terms of duribilty. I would like to see more designs available for the latest iPhone model, I've purchased designs in the past I liked that I noticed weren't available for the new phone. Thanks a bunch!
It seems well-made and isn't bulky. The elastic band holds the cover shut for added protection.
Love it! I recently lost my cards bc they fell out of a cheaper phone/wallet case. This one feels secure. The band can wrap around the card section also for extra security.
I would pay up to $200 for a really nice leather or some cool new recycled fabris

Last week a 14-year-old boy brought a tech project to school setting off a wave of controversy. He is a Maker and he wanted to show his teacher a fun thing he put together. The resulting reaction was typical of today's Internet praise and outrage cycle. On one side the Maker community has banded together to show the boy that his desire to build was important. On the other side, some believe everything about this story is a dangerous farce. After all, they say, Ahmed didn't really build the clock. It wasn't real – it was just a repurposed Radio Shack clock from the 1980s. The boy's father is an Islamic firebrand! This is a carefully orchestrated sham so Ahmed can get a Surface and so kids can bring real bombs to school and teachers will think twice!

Pre-order My New Book, Technotopia
We've all been expecting a techno dystopia, a world shattered by climate change and deadened by social media. But what if the reverse is true? Technotopia is a book about the future and how things will get better, not worse, in the next 100 years.
I'm John Biggs and I've been a professional cynic for the past decade. I saw where technology was headed and I was upset, not amazed. But something is changing and I want to tell you about it.
"Yearly reminder: unless you're over 60, you weren't promised flying cars. You were promised an oppressive cyberpunk dystopia. Here you go," wrote Kyle Marquis in February 2015. For most of my life Marquis' words rang true. I saw the future as a slide into darkness, all Blade Runner and dirty bombs. But we are living in an era of unprecedented access to information and increasingly improved access to the resources needed to build a better world. All is not peaches and cream – yet – but I argue it will get there.

I'm apparently very well-spoken in Polish.
Gdy Polska stanie się źródłem innowacyjności, zmieni się nie tylko charakter polskiej gospodarki, ale także np. styl życia, a więcej ludzi będzie chciało pracować na miejscu, niż wyjeżdżać za granicę. Jest to bardzo ważne, ponieważ Polska od lat ma problem z drenażem mózgów, jako że młodzi zdolni ludzie decydują się na wyjazd za granicę i podjęcie pracy w innych krajach. A na pewno nie tylko rodzice takich osób chciałyby, by wróciły one do Polski.
You Probably Don't Read Polish But If You Do, Please Enjoy:
Honestly I don't even know what I said.

However, if you do head over to my Patreon and decide to support me, you will get some bonus content. Sneak previews, the occasional short story that will NOT be posted to my blog, and Pathfinder/Starfinder stat sheets for some of the stuff I create in my stories.
As you can see, I am in the process of building a science fiction universe with multiple inhabited star systems. If you do decide to support my Patreon page (that sounds a lot better than 'to patronize me' doesn't it?) you can use those worlds in your own gaming.

The Green Party is putting forward a candidate to stand in the upcoming General Election in Sleaford and North Hykeham.
Fiona McKenna was selected by members at a meeting of Lincoln Green Party on Tuesday evening.
At last December's by-election in the constituency the Green Party stood aside and supported Independent candidate Sarah Stock in her fight to save hospital services in Lincolnshire.
Fiona McKenna joins the four other major party candidates already named as standing: Caroline Johnson (Conservative), Jim Clarke (Labour), Ross Pepper (Liberal Democrat) and Sara Chadd (UKIP).
The Green Party also has a candidate standing in the Grantham and Stamford constituency (which covers some villages south and west of Sleaford), Rebecca (Becca) Thackray.
She joins as those already declared as standing there - MP Nick Boles (Conservative), Barrie Fairbairn (Labour), Anita Day (Liberal Democrats) and Marietta King (UKIP).
So far the Lincolnshire Independents have not officially announced their candidates for these constituencies.

Last year, most colleges reduced their cut-off by 0.25 to 1 per cent to 95 percent. In 2016, the percentage required for admission in the popular colleges remained between 97 and 98 per cent. However, in 2017, Shri Guru Tegh Bahadur Khalsa College (SGTB Khalsa) set the first cut-off and second cut-off at 98.75 per cent and 96.75 per cent respectively.
BCom (Honours) and Economics
Sri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC), ranked among the best in the country for commerce programmes, set its cut-off at 97.75 per cent for B.Com (hons) and Economics (hons). However, SGTB Khalsa College had hit the headlines for demanding high percentage in the said course. They announced their first cut-off at 98 per cent for BCom (Hons) and 98.25 per cent for Economics.
Other courses
At Shri Guru Tegh Bahadur Khalsa College, which had set a record for the highest cut-off for most subjects in the first list, the highest dip was for Chemistry (Hons), where the cut-off had come down by 2 per cent. For Political Science (Hons), which saw a 99 per cent cut-off in the first list, the figure had come down by 1.75 percentage point to 97.25 per cent.
But it is courses such as Geography, Sociology, Botany and Zoology, where the dip in cut-off varied between 0.5 and 2 percentage points. Incidentally, popular colleges that had placed cut-offs below 95 per cent had been able to fill the seats. Cut-offs for both subjects in the first list was 92 per cent.

Bhind mass murder: Lover arrested for killing woman, 4 minors
A 24-year-old man was arrested on Sunday for the murder of four minors and his 40-year-old lover in Bhind's Virendra Nagar locality. The five people were killed late on Friday night. A knife used in the murder is yet to be recovered, police said.bhopal Updated: May 16, 2016 15:02 IST
A 24-year-old man was arrested on Sunday for the murder of four minors and his 40-year-old lover in Bhind's Virendra Nagar locality. The five people were killed late on Friday night. A knife used in the murder is yet to be recovered, police said.
According to police, Ankur Dixit had befriended Reena Shukla while he visited their house to give tuitions to her tenant's children. Dixit was, however, unhappy as the couple was not getting enough time to spend together as some of her in-law's children were visiting her.
Sleep inducing tablets were given to children
Bhind superintendent of police (SP) Navneet Bhasin told reporters that Dixit had given Shukla some sleep-inducing tablets to be administered to the children. Once the children were asleep, Dixit came over to the house. However, one of the children woke up and caught the couple in a compromising position, he said.
Fifteen-year-old Golu, son of Shukla's uncle in-law, raised an alarm after finding Dixit and Shukla together. Unable to gag the teenager, Dixit allegedly slit Golu's throat with a knife, killing him on the spot, the SP said.
Reena turned against Dixit when he tried to kill her own daughter
Hearing the noise the three other children—Shukla's daughter Chhavi, 12, daughter of her brother-in-law Mahima, 16, and daughter of her brother Ambika, 17 – woke up. Dixit and Shukla together stabbed Mahima and Ambuka to death, but when Dixit tried to gag and strangle Chhavi, Shukla allegedly turned against him. Sensing trouble, Dixit also strangled Reena, the SP added.
"To portray the mass killing as an outcome of a loot bid, Ankur ransacked the house before fleeing," Bhasin said, adding that police are yet to find the murder weapon and the keys to Shukla's house.
Dixit called Reena over 200 times in 3 months
It was Reena Shukla's phone call details that helped the police crack the crime within 24 hours.
"Reena's call details record (CDR) showed that most the calls made to her were either by her sister or Ankur Dixit. Ankur made over 200 calls in three months. The duration of the conversation between the two was very long, consequently making us zero in on Ankur," SP Bhind said.

The questions that motivate me have answers that apply to problems in conservation and resource management. Whether contributing expertise to policy efforts or speaking with local schools, I am eager for my research to make a difference in my community, locally, regionally and globally. For examples of efforts that I have supported, visit the links below. If my input could advance your project on climate change adaptation or science eduction, please contact me.
During the record-breaking heatwave of 2012, I contributed to an expert elicitation panel organized by the US Forest Service Northern Institute of Applied Climate Science. The panel consisted of resource managers, policy makers and scientists like myself. We spend several days considering how climate change might impact the diverse hardwood forest ecosystems of the Midwestern United States. Our deliberations resulted in a publication that serves the broad community of stakeholders in this extensive and economically important forest ecosystem. It was an important outcome of my research on climate change impacts in Missouri hardwood forests.
My research on Shootingstars addressed basic questions about climate change response, with a goal of providing practical answers. In 2015, I had the opportunity to contribute my expertise to a vulnerability assessment for the most widespread species of Shootingstar. The primary results, illustrated below, show how this species is not especially vulnerable. The process demonstrated how basic research and applied research are necessary to address impacts of climate change.
Shortly after relocating to Florida, a state especially vulnerable to sea level rise, I lead a group of New College students to a community forum on sea level rise adaptation. Organized by the Institute for Strategic Policy Solutions at St. Petersburg College, the workshop brought many people together to learn about impacts and delibrate over possible responses. As a member of a plenary panel, among policy makers, community members and elected officials, I helped discuss important areas of consensus. A summary is available here.
Since 2012, I have served as an ad-hoc reviewer for the Botanical Society of America's educational materials portal, PlantEd. I encourage you to contribute your activities to the effort.
Please send me an email with your feedback about the design.

Inclusive Educations Promises and Trajectories: Critical Notes about Future Research on a Venerable Idea
Inclusive Educations Promises and Trajectories: Critical Notes about Future Research on a Venerable Idea - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
Education Policy Analysis Archives, v24 n43 Apr 2016
The purpose of this article is to offer critical notes on inclusive education research in the U.S. We discuss issues germane to conceptual clarity and the ways in which inclusive education interacts with reforms that share equity goals, noting disruptions and unintended consequences that arise at the nexus of these reforms. In addition, we identify enduring challenges and paradoxes in this research literature. These include sampling issues, an emphasis on where students are placed as a proxy for inclusive education vis-à-vis inclusive education as the transformation of educational systems, the ways in which outcome measures have been examined in this research, and the need for and challenges of building strategic alliances that could advance an inclusive education agenda. We conclude with reflections and suggestions for a future research program that include sharpening inclusion's identity, attending to the fluid nature of ability differences and students' multiple identities, broadening the unit of analysis to systems of activities, and documenting processes and outcomes.

Michigan softball has chance to erase 10-year drought at WCWS
The Michigan softball team opens up play in the Women's College World Series on Thursday, taking on sixth-seeded Alabama in the opening contest for each team. However, the Wolverines will be taking part in the WCWS with the knowledge that 10 years have passed since it last won a national title, in 2005.
Not that it will add any pressure to the mix, but it likely serves as a model and point of pride to return back to Ann Arbor for a group that was probably too young to remember the Wolverines hoisting the national title that year.
Michigan isn't a stranger to the WCWS though, making its 11th overall appearance in the final stage of the national championship tournament. The current group of Wolverines also have experience in Oklahoma City, last appearing in the WCWS in the 2013 season.
The pressure is likely to be less because it's also a very different tournament this time around.
Back in 2005, Michigan was the top seed and breezed its way to the championship game before losing the first in a best-of-three series in the final. Eventually the Wolverines won the title with two straight wins.
This time around, Michigan had to claw its way back from a 3-0 deficit in the super regional final against Georgia — something that it didn't face very often in a season full of blowouts.
"During the season when we had so many run rules and blowouts and you're concerned when it gets to this time of the year, how are we going to play when the game's get tight?," Hutchins said, via MLive.com. "I'm very pleased with what we did with that, we just stayed in our movement, we were really one-pitch focused.
"Playing in tight games, that's called the postseason."
Michigan also will go in to this tournament not as the No. 1-overall seed as it did in 2005, but as the third seed. Additionally, only Tennessee and UCLA were in the 2005 and are in the 2015 tournament too.
However, there are similarities — as Michigan goes in to the WCWS as one of the hottest teams in the tournament. Michigan is currently sitting on a 25-game win streak, which began on April 4. During that time, the Wolverines are outscoring their opposition 225-36. Michigan also dominated on its way to the No. 1-overall seed in 2005, but not quite that crazy on the offensive side of things.
As for the matchup with Alabama, it will be intriguing as the two teams met already this season. Michigan took both contests back in February, winning 8-2 and 4-1. With this matchup taking place on the biggest stage in softball, its likely that neither side is going to have time to think of those wins or losses, but rather the individual matchups and lessons learned from them.
The two teams will meet at 7pm ET Thursday, with the game airing on ESPN2.
Can Michigan go on and repeat its performance a decade after winning a national title? Time will tell, but this team seems to have the wind at their sails.

Transit Books & Videos Reviews
Below are Silver Screen movies with
major subway scenes. They are available on DVD from Amazon.com.
Money Train
Starring: Wesley Snipes, Woody Harrelson & Jennifer Lopez
This money centers around the NY subway. It is rather fictitious and many scenes were filmed in a subway set built in LA. It is about Transit Police officers who wind up stealing cash from the Revenue Collection Train, hence Money Train. I liked the movie.
The Taking of the Pelham 1,2,3
Starring: Walter Matthau
Fantastic movie of a hijacking of a NY Subway train. Walter Matthau is a detective from the Transit Police who negotiates with the hijackers. The plot revolves around the subway, and was actually shot on location. This is a great thriller.
The French Connection
Starring: Gene Hackman
This Police Drama show NY Detectives tracking down heroine shipment coming in from France. There are several subway scenes. The most dramatic involves a chase under the West End El in Brooklyn.
Starring: Keanu Reeves & Sandra Bullock
Not a very believable film, but one that would make you nervous to ride mass transit. Most of the plot resides on a City Bus that can't go below 50 MPH. The movie ends with an unbelievable LA Metro scene with the subway train flying out into the middle of a street. But it is a fun movie.
The Tube
Starring: Sokhumi Kim
This Korean film is a mixture of Speed & The Taking of the Pelham 123. It is dubbed into English. It involves the hijacking of a Seoul Subway train. Fast paced. The extras on the DVD show how they filmed the subway sequences.
Starring: Tom Cruise & Jaime Foxx
This is an intense film involving a murder who uses a taxi cab driver to go from murder to murder. It ends up on the LA Metro, then onto the LA Blue Light rail Line. Good movie.
Starring: Tommy Lee Jones & Anne Heche
Won't win any Oscars, but this movie has a volcano that erupts in LA. Lava gets into the LA Metro system.
While You Were Sleeping
Starring: Sandra Bullock & Bill Pullman
Fun movie that starts with a CTA token clerk saving a passenger from getting killed on the Chicago 'L'. It is hysterically funny at times. Much better than Ms. Bullock other subway movie, Speed.

5 Best Ideas in Insurance Marketing 2018. Insurance have become one of the important things in our daily lives due to the current expensive medication fees and the increase of variation of unknown diseases.
The importance of Insurance
Why is it important to have an insurance? One of the most expensive expenses in daily live other than luxury items and products are health medication expenses. If a person were involved in certain accident, then the person would highly possible need to have certain amount of savings in order to pay for medication treatment fee.
But what if the person does not have the savings needed to pay for the medication treatment? Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, Insurance is obligatory for the solution of this situation.
Usually just by paying the premium monthly fee, the insurance will cover any amount of medication treatment fee for the accidents which the person is involved. In short, insurance is really important in our lives. Therefore, this article will cover mostly on the Ideas of marketing insurance.
5 Best Ideas in Insurance marketing
They are:
1. Contact Card complemented with Important Emergency Info Number
By implementing the Emergency Info Number such as the police contact number, hospital contact number, fire rescue contact number, and other possible important contact numbers. By doing that, the person who receive your contact number would find that your contact number have useful contact numbers and have the possibility to keepsake your contact number. This might be and old fashioned method, but still one of the best method in marketing strategy.
2. Get involved in Local Community activities
In order to become a good marketer, it is important to have large amount of acquaintances. Not only that, by being involved in same activities, the possibilities of bonding between you and the local communities people would definitely give you larger scale of networking and surely potential clients as well.
3. Get Online
Due to the rapid improvement of technology in current modern era, getting yourself online is a very crucial thing to do. Nowadays, it can be said that there almost every people in the world can get online now. It does not matter whether it is day, noon, or night time. People nowadays will get online either to do their job or just online browsing for other purposes. Therefore, it is important for an insurance agent to get online and start marketing your way online.
4. Create a Blog
This point is related to the point above. Marketing online is not simply by randomly spamming other people's website with your contact number and advertisement. Creating a blog is one of the best way to introduce your services to your customers by allowing the customer to see your services anytime they want.
By creating a blog and possibly posting useful insurance information, online people might find your blog interesting and possibly will follow you. Therefore, you will not only gain potential customers by having followers and also expanding the knowledge of the insurance at the same time. People will put their trust in you and possibly accepting your offer for insurance.
5. Always Retain Existing Business and Ask for Referrals
This might still be one of the old fashioned method in the Best Ideas in Insurance marketing. But it is still the most important point in insurance marketing strategy. Always maintain the existing business to keep the never-ending revenue stream flowing in. Avoid decrease the quality of professional services by trying to gain more clients.
Because by allowing the quality of services to be lowered, the existing customer might not only ceased to be your customer and also possibly spread unwanted news either online or offline. Therefore all the trust which a marketer should have would be stained and hard to recover.

Figure out how you're planning on getting to the airport. It sounds simple enough, but it all starts here! Depending on the length of the trip I alternate between parking in my favorite airport garage and taking a hired car. For long trips the car can often be the best price and eliminates waiting for the parking shuttle (the wait for the shuttle is always in direct proportion to your jetlag).
If I drive, I highly recommend leaving a bottle of water in your car. Flying is dehydrating and we never drink enough water while in the air so you'll appreciate having some waiting for you!
And of course, get there early! I'd rather spend an extra 30 minutes waiting at the airport than have missed my plane by 30 seconds. Nothing adds stress to a trip than checking your watch every second during check-in and security. Give yourself breathing room.

I finished one of these a couple of days ago, and the other yesterday afternoon.
The first one is a Breyer Newsworthy repaint to a palomino hunter pony. I think it was every girls' dream to have their very own palomino pony that they could jump anything on! This one has a new home lined up, so unfortunately is no longer available.
The next one is available. He is a repainted Breyer Smarty Jones model. I was running out of black paint as I was finishing him off, but luckily I had enough for him. Now, painting is on hold and I have to prep some models before I can paint more and I have to wait for some more paint to arrive. Oh well!
I plan on painting more dapple greys in the near future, as well. Right, onto prepping some ponies!

Paths To Internal Security
We are re-running this editorial to stress the point that the situation in the country when it was first written has not changed in any significant way. If anything, it is assuming what, in our opinion, is a delicate dimension that needs to be addressed urgently.
Some of the seemingly intractable challenges facing the federal government are the pockets of crises across the country which are more serious than the simplistic dismissal of them as threats to internal security.
Until Boko Haram became the monstrosity it developed into, the nation thought the members of the terrorist group were mere irritants that could be dispersed with a whip. Today, we know otherwise even as the Biafran agitators, gun-toting herdsmen and the Niger Delta terrorists are beginning to toe that evil line which is causing the authorities some discomfort. That the government is sending in troops to rout them is evidence that, indeed, they are real problems that must be confronted in a decisive manner.
But we are of the opinion that force should be reserved as the last option when other peaceful means have been conclusively explored and found not to be yielding a sustainable outcome. What ought to be done is to engage them constructively in the kind of deliberate policy that produced the Amnesty programme.
The government may begin to feel blackmailed by so doing. But we insist that it is an option worth finding time for. Among some highly placed government functionaries, personal disposition align with this suggestion. In their thinking, bringing down the hammer may demonstrate the government's resolve to do what it has to do to secure life, property as well as enhance investment climate. It may also, in our view, make the resultant victory look like a crab that, in an effort to escape the trap, lost all its limbs.
However, there is no gainsaying it that finding a lasting solution to the problem of internal dissention has assumed an urgency that can no longer be played down let alone ignored. One of the ways to actualise it, in our considered opinion, is to restructure the police so as to bring their activities close to the grassroots where they will be able to nip the hiccups in the bud before they escalate. State police or community police has remained in the front burner of public discourse. What has delayed its implementation so far is the fear that taking such a desirable step will lead to abuse. Without doubt, that possibility exists.
But it is compelling to ask, is the present structure of the Force devoid of abuse? We, therefore, urge that the apprehension that is stalling the restructuring of the police must be exorcised because the institution as presently constituted is too centralised and sluggish in its operations to provide the effective check the matter at hand demands. And the Internal Affairs Ministry has a key role to play in this regard as part of its function of winning the peace for the country. Ultimately, the government must also intensify its measures to rid the nation of unauthorised firearms in the hands of those who use them for unwholesome purposes.
Another issue heating up the polity is the constant brushes between farmers and herdsmen. It is important to note that the problem has to do with dwindling resources caused by desertification in the North and erosion in the South. The scramble for the available water, land and grazing fields has often led to fatal brushes. It is our conjecture that a practical way of reversing this trend is for the government to design and put in place policies that must check desertification and control erosion so as to make those resources available for the many who desperately need them.
Above all, in our view, the most dangerous of the factors hampering internal security is youth unemployment. We are of the firm conviction that if they are put to productive use, the penchant for them to cause mischief will be drastically reduced.
In the meantime, we hope that the nation's immigration laws will be made more effective and efficient so as to check the influx of the criminally-minded even as we recommend an upgrade of the country's penitentiaries to make them play their assigned role in criminal justice and as a way forward to achieving internal security we all crave for.

A Massachusetts man had dedicated nearly a quarter-century of his life to working a dirty job with undesirable hours, but he says the payoff for his family has made the commitment worthwhile.
"I came from a poor family and kind of a broken home and I was kind of on my own," Fred Vautour explained. "I did my best to be a father and a family man."
AOL featured Vautour for a segment of its show "Lifers," in which he recalled his motivation in accepting a graveyard shift janitorial position at Boston College in 1994.
Advertisement - story continues below
At that point in his life, he said he was not interested in prestige or even a big paycheck, but instead wanted "to finally have a job that had benefits."
As the Boston Globe reported last year, the most notable of those benefits is the college's offer to provide free tuition for the children of its staff.

"All five of my kids were accepted here in the day school and they all graduated with bachelor's degrees," Vautour said.
That alone saved his family an estimated $700,000 in tuition, he noted.

His children expressed appreciation for their father's sacrifice and the lessons he has taught them through his work ethic.
"The biggest thing I just learned from him was dedication," said his daughter, Alicia.
His son, Michael, pointed out that in 23 years on the job, his father has "only missed like three and a half days."
Amy, Vautour's eldest child, went on to receive a master's degree in higher education, setting the stage for her younger siblings.

"We're first-generation college students so we're different than other legacy families," she said.
In the interview, Vautour's pride in his kids is clear as he shows off their acceptance letters, framed and hanging on the wall in his home.
"When the fifth one graduated, it was sad just to see it was done," he recalled. "Now I'm working there with nobody going there."
Now, Vautour said he is considering the legacy he will leave beyond his five children.

"I want to be remembered as the grandkids knowing that their grandfather did a lot for my own," he said. "And my kids are learning from that and they seem to be doing well with their kids, too, so it's a trickle-down effect."

Why Musicians Should be Their own Producers
Career Path : DJ Training
Dedicating your life to an artistic craft is both rewarding and frustratingly difficult. Aside from focusing on creating the best possible art that your mind can create, you also have to confront everyday industry challenges, including exposure, management, and production.
It is true that a lot of the creative industries have producers, or the equivalent to, to help with the logistics and allow the artist focus on their work. Writers, for example, will turn to editor and publishers for guidance on the production of their book. However, there are advantages to self-producing your own work. And while it may not be an easy feat, the reward is in the end result.
Now, before we get into this any further, let us not confuse self-producing with micro-managing, or equate self-producing artists with high achieving trivia masters. Admittedly, there is a level of appeal carried by those freakishly smart people who can answer trivia question on the spot. Somehow, in the most random situations, they are able to remember Babe Ruthâs batting average by year in consecutive order, or the zodiac signs of each member of the Beatles, or the name of the astronaut to first land on the moon.
While this is impressive, trivial knowledge may not do you so much good, nor will micro-managing. As the old saying goes, âJack of all trades, master of none,â meaning that a person may know a lot of things but he is doesnât know any of those things inside out. Â The alternative to diving into a hundred different disciplines would be to zone in on a particular craft. This level of focus allows one to group their best talents together and directing them towards the same goal.
But in regards to musicians, production is so deeply embedded in the construction and publication of their music that it can actually be considered a facet of their craft. Take, for example, a sample of courses offered at a music production school:
·        Songwriting
·        Audio for Film and Television
·        Sound and Recording Techniques
·        Multitrack Recording Techniques
·        Practical Studio Applications
·        Orchestration
·        Live Sound
·        Acoustics
What we notice from this curriculum is that a music producer is first and foremost a musician insofar as he or she must know the intricate details of instrument sound, songwriting, and recording. Likewise, a musician can only hone their craft if they are able to master each layer of the creation of their music, from jotting down lyrics to controlling the tempo in the studio.
Gradually, and with an increase in experience, musicians tend to move towards the production side of things. New and aspiring musicians, be they singer-songwriters or those who just started DJ training, may also want to consider looking into the realms of production despite being new to the game.
Ultimately, being a self-producing musician does not make you a jack of all trades, nor does it distract you from perfecting your music. Instead, being able to produce your music gives you a level of control that you would otherwise have. Decisions regarding the sound, the band members, the pitch, and even the packaging will all come down to what you think is best. Â

Google Registry has introduced a new domain name extension, .page, which is now available for webmasters to register.
For the time being, .page domains are available from select registrars via the Early Access Program.
That means webmasters will have to pay an additional fee for the opportunity to register a .page domain before anyone else.
Standard registrations for .page domains will be available on October 9th.
With security being a top priority for Google, websites will require an SSL (HTTPS) certificate in order to use a .page domain.
"To help keep your information safe, all .page websites require an SSL certificate, which helps keep connections to your domain secure and helps protect against things like ad malware and tracking injections. Both .page and .app, which we launched in May, will help move the web to an HTTPS-everywhere future."
Those interested in a .page website can check whether their domain name is available to register by visiting get.page.
As Google points out, some of the most sought-after combinations are already taken, such as:
- Home.page
- Web.page
- TurnThe.page
- Ellen.page
However, there's still plenty of marketable domain names available.
Here's some I checked that are still available at the time of this writing:
- Blank.page
- First.page
- Last.page
- AcceleratedMobile.page
- Yellow.page
- White.page
- Blog.page
- Jimmy.page
- Bettie.page
- DiamondDallas.page
Ok, you get the idea by now. I'm having a little too much fun checking out these domain names that I don't intend to register anyway.
So get 'em while they're hot!

Not even a week after Bethany Taylor and her husband, Kendall, welcomed their bundle of joy into the world, they noticed something wasn't right. In January, Bethany says their newborn daughter, Jane, became very lethargic to the point that she wouldn't eat. She knew this wasn't normal and grew even more concerned when she and Kendall began experiencing headaches and feeling nauseous themselves.
After looking up their symptoms on the internet, the Provo, Utah couple took their baby girl to a hospital, where doctors determined they'd been suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning. "I couldn't believe this was happening to my new, brand new little baby and I was so worried about what was going to happen with her," Bethany said. As it turns out, the old gas heater in the family's apartment had been the cause.
At the hospital, Jane was placed into a hyperbaric oxygen chamber with her mom for a few two-hour sessions, after which doctors saw an immediate improvement. "She was just like a baby again. She cried, she responded to her mom," said Dr. James Stewart. "She was very hungry when she came out of the chamber."
Bethany and Kendall are grateful their baby is doing well now, but all three could have died had they not figured out what was going on. Now Bethany is sharing their story with lawmakers in the hopes of preventing other cases of carbon monoxide poisoning. Learn more about what happened and how this family thinks Utah laws should change in the video below.
KSL Investigates: Mother seeks changes to law after baby treated for CO poisoning
A 5-day-old baby is lucky to be alive after CO poisoning. And her story may help change a Utah law the KSL Investigators first reported on last month. Debbie Dujanovic has this follow-up report.
Posted by KSL 5 TV on Wednesday, February 14, 2018
I definitely agree that landlords should be required by law to put carbon monoxide detectors in all older apartment buildings. There's no question that it would save lives, so here's hoping Utah lawmakers take this story to heart and commit to repealing this law.

Cheesecake finds its origins in Ancient Greece, on the island of Samos. It is said that cheesecake was given to the athletes in the 1st Olympic games, held in 776 BC on the island of Delos, to give energy and strength for the games.
The first known written recipe, in 230 AD, consisted of just flour, wheat, honey and cheese. With the Roman conquest of ancient Greece, cheesecake was spread throughout Europe and finally to the Americas. This is where the craze over cheesecake officially began. Regrettably with time and travel, the original cheesecake recipe evolved from natural and simple to manufactured and complex.
We at Eveia felt inclined to return to ancient Greek origins of cheesecake and yogurt cheese–simple, healthy and delicious. We have recreated an extraordinary dessert using just yogurt cheese, sugar, eggs and pure vanilla. Following these simple values, our cookie crust is also made with basic ingredients.
Using our own yogurt cheese, and not cream cheese (an 1872 invention), our cheesecake has 55% less fat then any other leading brand. Oh yeah–and it is all done naturally, with no starches, gums or gelatin.
Try our cheesecake for yourself and see what getting back to basics tastes like. You will not be disappointed because it is just simply delicious.
