As you plan your wedding, don't forget about the transportation. If you have already decided on a trolley for your wedding party, one question you will want to pay attention to is, "who will ride in the trolley with the wedding party?" Knowing who will ride in the trolley with you will help in your decision for what type of trolley to rent. Let's take a look at some of the people you might want included in your trolley with the wedding party.
The use of trolleys for your wedding is a charming and stylish way for you and your wedding party to make a grand entrance at the reception. The trolleys are perfect for larger wedding parties or even smaller parties with room on board for family and friends to join in on the fun, too!
Unlike limos, trolleys can typically hold your entire wedding party, plus family members—what a relief! Now you don't have to choose who can and cannot come aboard. However, you won't want to have an overcrowded trolley either. In addition to the wedding party on the trolley, choose immediate family members and dates of members of the wedding party—that will do the trick! Once everyone is aboard, just sit back and relax as we drive you to your reception for your grand entrance!
While you might not want to see each other before the wedding, the bride and groom should be on a trolley to the wedding. To help with "before the wedding sneak peeks," set up a trolley for the girls and a trolley for the boys. This will allow transportation to be ready for both parties, while helping to keep the bride and groom separate until after the ceremony.
Of course every bride needs her bridesmaids and every groom needs his groomsmen, so make sure they are on the trolley, too! As we mentioned before, if you do separate buses for the groomsmen and bridesmaids, you can easily transport everyone to and from the wedding and reception. Keep everyone together for a fun, stress-free day!
Don't forget your family! Along with the bride, groom, bridesmaids and groomsmen, you might want to consider including your immediate family. By doing this you can ensure everyone is together and can get the best of the day. It is also a prime opportunity to get some group photos and individual photos!
There are many ways you can organize your wedding transportation—it all depends on your individual situation. Often, ladies will be picked up before the ceremony, as well as the men if needed. Then the whole wedding will board the trolley after the ceremony to be transported to the reception site together. On other occasions, the trolley might just meet the wedding party at the church after the ceremony to transport the whole party to the reception.
This is your special day, so make sure everything is in order and ready for your big day—especially the people surrounding you.


Here on The Christian Left we have shown that the Spirit is often made manifest through human action. We are proving that there is such a thing as consciousness, and it is expanding, opening the possibility of a future based on love and compassion. We have done so and will continue to do so not only through our faith, but by deconstructing the myths that perpetuate injustice.
Through the global dialog and participation of thousands now, and millions in the future, we are reconstructing the core principles of our faith, those based on the gospel of Jesus, one founded on hope, love, and charity, healing, and building community.
Having initiated the process of deconstructing the idea in many people's minds of Christians as wild-eyed Crusaders, we as liberals are also confronted with secular myths, in particular the myths of war. Even ardent, good, honest, hard-working liberals carry myths to justify war. The most common myth of war is that it is inevitable. Christians have many historical examples of love conquering the mightiest foes. Christ himself advocated peace, and even healed the ear of the Roman that was hewn. Ghandi drove out the British without firing a shot. Martin Luther King, Jr. inspired a nation to confront the evil of racism. The lone Chinese man stopped a tank in Tianamen square holding nothing but a briefcase.
Our task, as those inspired by a bold vision of peace, is to provide a viable path to end war forever. This path must adhere to non-violent, Christian means, otherwise the end will be for naught. As we have deconstructed the good and the bad in the past of Christianity and constructed a new future advocating for the ill, the hungry, the war weary, the aged, and the children, we will deconstruct the past myths of war and create a future of peace.
Ending war will entail assiduous and sustained effort from people in all areas of society. Without question, peace is predicated on a widespread, grassroots movement from all parts of the globe in all areas of political, economic, and civil society. On the surface, a global citizens movement demanding peace seems untenable. After all, so many conflicts rage across the globe. We have violence in every continent. The Saudi government sends troops invade Bahrain to suppress the people's call for justice. The Americans are in Iraq, Afghanistan and Yemen. Turkey is bombing the Kurds. We see war in Chechnya, and Somalia. We see the threat of war in Ossetia and Iran.
Nevertheless, wherever conflicts erupt the civilians want peace. One of the missions of this essay is to inspire Christians large and small, of all denominations, and of all nations to act upon that sentiment and take bold action to stop the wars in which their governments fight.
Global arms reduction has several components the most important of which is reducing the dollar amount of weapons exported and reducing the total volume of weapons produced. Massive, sustained citizen input will be required for these demands to even be heard by most governments. It is our job as Christians to make sure that they do.
To be successful, the transition away from a war economy will need to be incremental. Obviously, a huge shift in military power will create power vacuums that may cause some to see an advantage in another's weakness. Moving in a methodical, incremental fashion prevents a sudden shift in power and allows nations to make adjustments.
Secondly, those involved in the armaments industry will need to be incentivized to change their manufacturing and production to new industries such as green technologies, labor intensive industries such as organic farming, renovating homes to be energy efficient, the construction of green transportation and communications infrastructure. Providing a transition path for industry will reduce, but not eliminate, institutional resistance.
Verifying that those you fear are also playing by the rules is the critical component to the long-term success of this program for peace. As Reagan said, "Trust, but verify." Taking incremental steps, agreed upon by all parties, helps to improve the process of verification. Governments and inspectors can verify that all parties have met their obligations before proceeding to the next step.
Both incentives and punitive measures will need to be invoked to ensure that countries participating in the process toward peace satisfy the agreements they have made. Incentives could include interest free loans, or simply grants for building food security, or developing industry, or water conservation and soil preservation. Punitive measures could include economic sanctions, freezing of assets, or the denial of participation in athletic competitions.
Any punitive measures must be non-violent, for peace cannot be attained by violent means.
Arms reduction will need to first focus on heavy armaments such as jet fighters, bombers, tanks, personnel carriers, artillery, warships, submarines, and other heavy weaponry. These types of armaments can be most readily identified as having one and only one purpose: killing human beings.
Small arms will also have to be included. While one may argue that small arms are necessary to protect one's family, or to protect the people against the overreaching power of the state, reducing the number of small arms exported and imported is a critical component to attaining peace.
As Christians, we can choose to accept the myth that 'war is inevitable', or we can start taking concrete steps toward embracing our neighbors, loving our enemies, and eliminating the scourge of humankind – war.
Mark in the Spirit, Pen Name. Not to be confused with Mark Sandlin, per his request.

RECIST Criteria
Posted by Clinical Safety Geek On September 03, 2013 0 Comment
RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors) is a set of published criteria that define when cancer patients improve ("respond"), stay the same ("stable") or worsen ("progression") during treatments.
The original criteria were published in February 2000 by an international collaboration including the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC), National Cancer Institute (NCI) of the United States and the National Cancer Institute of Canada Clinical Trials Group.
RECIST 1.1, published in January 2009, is an update to the original criteria. The EORTC presentation can be found here. Today, the majority of clinical trials evaluating cancer treatments for objective response in solid tumors are using RECIST to assist with monitoring for risk versus benefit.
Cancer trials are increasingly complex, involving dozens or even hundreds of investigators from centers around the world. While the RECIST rules are highly dependent upon measurement of tumor size, different clinicians may vary greatly in their methods of performing these measurements. Consistency in following the imaging requirements and rules is even more challenging. When investigators vary in how they follow RECIST as a trial endpoint, the study results may be placed in jeopardy by significant levels of variability. This is why the EORTC developed the RECIST 1.1 Questions and Clarification document. The EORTC also developed a standard CRFs and follow up CRF.
However, currently RECIST criteria are a voluntary, international standard, based on a simplification of former methods (WHO, ECOG) and based on measurable disease, i.e., the presence of at least one measurable lesion.
RECIST criteria offer a simplified, conservative, extraction of imaging data for wide application in clinical trials. They presume that linear measures are an adequate substitute for 2-D methods and registers four response categories:
CR (complete response) = disappearance of all target lesions
PR (partial response) = 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions
PD (progressive disease) = 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions
SD (stable disease) = small changes that do not meet above criteria
Plans call for improving on RECIST methodology by developing and validating clinical trial-acceptable methods and standards to incorporate:
volumetric (3D) anatomical imaging
dynamic contrast imaging
functional (molecular) imaging
If successful, the use of medical image data as a surrogate endpoint in clinical trials could lead to:
Smaller clinical trials with fewer patients
Earlier go/no decisions on drug compounds
Faster regulatory approval for new drugs
Earlier use in clinical care

ANDRA STATEMENT: Rowe Memorial
It is with regret that the Australian National Drag Racing Association and Adelaide Drag Race Promotions announce that the decision has been made to cancel the remainder of the Rowe Memorial event.
The event was to be held Saturday 23 November at Adelaide International Raceway, however multiple electrical issues occurred throughout yesterday's testing and re-occurred today which has left event organisers with no confidence that the issues can be fixed sufficiently to allow for the event to resume tonight before being run to completion tomorrow as had been hoped.
Before a pause was brought to the on-track action, the first round of qualifying was successfully held for all participating Summit Racing Equipment Sportsman Series brackets and the following racers will be awarded as the DecoGlaze Glass Splashbacks Victoria Top Qualifiers: Daniel Carranza (Summit Racing Equipment Junior Dragster), Jake Hamilton-Moderate (Modified Bike), Robyn Phillis (Super Street), Lance Larcombe (Super Sedan), Adam Mundy (Modified), Darren Saliba (Top Sportsman), Phill Paton (Competition Bike), Daniel Camilleri (SuperComp), Christine Steffens (Supercharged Outlaws) and Jason Wilson (Super Gas).
"When track staff arrived at Adelaide International Raceway this morning they discovered that the UPS – which protects the sensitive timing equipment by providing an uninterrupted power supply – had for a reason that is currently unknown 'blown up'," ANDRA Chief Executive Officer, Brett Stevens, explained.
"Subsequent damage was discovered in the computer system and the track moved swiftly to swap in a new computer so that qualifying could be started, and the first round of qualifying was successfully held.
"During the second qualifiers, further faults were found to be occurring in the system and it was taken offline to be rectified and at that point, it was identified that the core issue was occurring in the cabling between the tower and the start line.
"The track team then began working in earnest to lay new cabling while working on related issues with the system in the hope that the event could resume this evening and then be completed on Sunday.
"However, as work has continued into the early evening it has become clear that cannot be confident enough of a fix being enacted that would allow the meeting to be successfully completed tomorrow.
"So as not to further inconvenience racers and spectators, we have made the decision to cancel the event.
"It is clear that what has transpired today has not been what any of us would have wished for the return of the Summit Racing Equipment Sportsman Series to Adelaide International Raceway and the track staff have done their best to enable us to have a different outcome. Please rest assured that ANDRA, Adelaide Drag Race Promotions and facility owners will be working together to ensure the electrical issues are repaired prior to the running of the ANDRA Grand Final in March, 2020.
"Ticket holders for today's event can redeem their pass for entry at any event at Adelaide International Raceway throughout 2020 to the ticket value.
"ANDRA and Adelaide Drag Race Promotions express their sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused by these electrical issues and thanks all of the competitors and event goers for their understanding in what has been a difficult situation for all involved."
The Summit Racing Equipment Sportsman Series will re-commence at Portland's South Coast Raceway for the South Coast Nationals across December 14 and 15, 2019. For more information, visit www.southcoastraceway.com.au or www.andra.com.au

Sexuality education begins early. Your child has been learning about values, expectations, attitudes and behaviors from you and other adults since she was very young. She learns as much from what you DO as from what you say. She also learns from what you DON'T say. As your child grows and her world widens, she continues to learn from friends, TV, culture, religion, movies and videos, music and society in general.
A good understanding of normal growth and development can help you better understand your child. This understanding will make you more effective as you answer questions and start discussions. Click on the links below to learn more about growth and development at different ages.

Situations can arise where you may not know if you have car insurance at a given time. Maybe, you do not even know what insurance carrier you might be insured with. It is important to know if you have a current car insurance policy even if you do not have a claim. It can mean better rates for you when purchasing another policy, plus it is needed to drive legally in the US. Most every state requires proof of current insurance to renew your license plate. So, how do you go about determining whether or not you are insured if you are completely unaware of possible coverage? Look in Your Glove Box Start by searching your car. In the visor, the center council, and the glove box are the most common places to store insurance information. Maybe you can locate a prior or possibly even current proof of insurance in the car. Getting your hands on this document will be the fastest way to know if you have car insurance. It should not only give you the insurance carrier's name but also the name of the insurance agency in which services the policy. Call the insurance carrier or agency to determine if the policy is up to date. Get a New Insurance Quote You might be wondering how getting an insurance quote will help you find out if you have car insurance now. Well, most insurance agents run a report called a CLUE report which usually tells them your current insurance carrier. It can also tell if a policy has lapsed. Not all insurance carriers show up in a CLUE report, so this is not 100 percent accurate. Tell the agent running your car insurance quote the situation. Let them know you might have an insurance policy in effect but need help verifying it. If the agent can tell you what insurance carrier you have a policy with, call the carrier and request a copy of your declarations page and proof of insurance. Get coverage information over the phone, so you know what is on the policy and get the declaration page so that you will have it for future reference. Check With the Secretary of State Office Many Secretary of State Offices track your car insurance coverage. Some states like Texas are even advanced enough to know if your policy is up to date. Call or go to your local Secretary of State Office and inquire about your car insurance. It does not hurt to ask. It can save you time looking through piles of paperwork trying to find some car insurance information. Do not be embarrassed if you do not know if you have car insurance. It is not as uncommon as you might think. Youthful drivers might not be getting along with their parents and be left in the dark about car insurance matters. Divorce or a loved one passing away can also leave people in the situation of not knowing about a lot of family financial matters. Do a little digging to find out if you have a current car insurance policy. If a policy is not in place, look into getting car insurance quotes immediately if you are driving.

Steps Can You Expect to Follow in a Divorce Lawsuit (Step 1: Filing)
All family law and divorce cases in Texas follow the same sequence of steps. Think of it this way: each step, which itself requires a series of smaller moves and processes, allow all parties to stop litigating and settle their differences out of court. If this is not possible, the parties go through each step until trial, and finally, the final divorce decree.
Either way, pursuing a divorce can get messy fast, especially if you don't see eye to eye with your spouse and you don't have a Texas divorce attorney. Having an attorney to represent you ensures that the divorce process is as smooth and quick as possible. A divorce attorney understands the ins and outs of the Texas Family Code and divorce law, and will know which strategies to use in order to come up with a fair resolution on your behalf.
In this guide, we will start with the first step of the divorce process: filing the divorce lawsuit.
What to Expect When Filling a Divorce Lawsuit in Texas
Although this step is perhaps the easiest and most straightforward part in the entire divorce process, you still need to meet specific requirements to initiate the divorce.
Under the Texas Family Code, you will need to file a Petition for Divorce with the District Clerk or the County Clerk in the county where you were a resident for the past three months, provided you have been a Texas resident for at least six months. What if you and your spouse have already been living separately in two different counties? This raises the possibility of filing a Petition in either county. The general rule is that whoever files the lawsuit first in the court of their residence can force the judge to dismiss the second case, allowing the divorce to proceed in one court only.
Things can get complicated here. If you're an Austin resident, it's imperative that you talk to an Austin divorce attorney.
Stating Your Grounds for the Divorce
Your petition must state your grounds for divorcing your spouse. This may include one or more of the following:
Insupportability
Confinement in a mental hospital
Felony conviction
Living apart
Your attorney will also address several factors in the initial petition, in particular, any pre- or post-nuptial agreements.
Serving the Texas Divorce Lawsuit
After processing, the Petitioner (the initiating party) must ensure the divorce lawsuit is served to the other spouse, also known as the Respondent. This is usually done by a private process server, a constable, or a sheriff. Two documents will be presented to the Respondent:
The actual petition, which contains the details of the divorce, including the grounds for the dissolution of the marriage
The citation, which is a court document notifying the other spouse that he or she is being sued
If the Respondent fails to file an answer to the lawsuit within 21 days of officially being served, the case is default, which means it is possible to complete the divorce proceedings without involving the Respondent.
Generally speaking, there will be a 60-day waiting period from the date of filing the petition before the judge grants a final divorce decree. But this waiting period may be waived if the court determines the Respondent has been convicted of domestic violence against the Petitioner or the Petitioner's household.
If you have more questions about divorce in Texas you would like to ask a qualified divorce attorney about, get in touch with Austin family law attorney Daniella Lyttle of the Lyttle Law Firm.

The One Meal Eitan Bernath Wants To Make For Cardi B - Exclusive
RECIPES NEWS EXCLUSIVES RESTAURANTS GROCERY HOW TO FACTS TIPS TV INSPIRATION FEATURES
Tinseltown/Shutterstock
By Hanna Claeson/Aug. 31, 2021 3:36 pm EST
To fill you in: Eitan Bernath likes Cardi B so much that he turns his commute time during business trips into Cardi B dance parties (via YouTube). The TikTok star and culinary consultant for "The Drew Barrymore Show" even named his cat after her. Cardi B(ernath) is a British Shorthair rescue and is — unlike his namesake — a bit camera shy, per YouTube. Cardi Bernath might not regularly appear in front of his 1.9 million TikTok followers, but the cat, like Bobby Flay's Nacho, is involved in Bernath's day-to-day operations. He has assumed the role of "Director of Paw-blicity" within the Bernath social media empire, according to Eitan Bernath's website.
Bernath (the person, not the cat) hasn't cooked for or with Cardi B, yet. But when he cooked with Lily Singh, he made her a Cardi B-inspired mac and cheese, according to his website. More specifically, it's inspired by Cardi B's and Megan Thee Stallion's "WAP." Yup, just like Starbuck's WAP latte was. It's not, however, mac and cheese that Bernath would make for Cardi B when he gets the chance. "Okay. So believe it or not ... I am very prepared for this one," Bernath told Mashed in an exclusive interview when asked what he'd make for the superstar rapper and actress. "One day when I cook for Cardi B, I can envision in my head exactly how this plays out."
Eitan Bernath has his fish taco meal for Cardi B already planned
When Eitan Bernath finally sits down to dinner with his idol Cardi B, fish will be on their plates. "I do love do love the Cardi B. Cardi loves like Caribbean food and food from [the] island," Bernath explained. "She loves seafood, so I would definitely make Cardi ... fish tacos." For the record, Cardi B does like seafood. For Mother's Day 2019, Offset gifted her a seafood spread, made of crab legs, lobster, and shrimp that Delish estimated to be worth somewhere between $5,000 and $15,000.
Back to the fish tacos. "I would want to do 'Bodak Yellow' theme fish tacos," Bernath detailed. "I would use like black beans for like a black bean tortilla. And then, using the Ninja SmartLid (that's Ninja Foodi XL Pressure Cooker Steam Fryer with SmartLid that Eitan Bernath is currently promoting as a part of a partnership with Ninja) I would ... fry [the] fish with a turmeric butter, so it's black and yellow ... Bodak Yellow." Then, said Bernath, he'd use his pressure cooker's SteamCrisp technology. Yup, he's really into his new all-in-one cooking tool. With it, he'd make sure that the fish was "juicy on the inside [with] the crispy kind of like tempura type batter on the outside." To top it all off? "I'd probably use like a fun salsa," Bernath imagined.
The TikTok phenomenon has plenty of experience making fish tacos. They happen to be one of his "all time favorite foods" (via YouTube). You can find his recipe for "the best fish tacos ever" on his website. Alternatively, check out his Instagram and TikTok for more sweet and savory recipe inspiration.


Arthur Spring wants parents to speak up about about ways to reform childcare.
KERRY North/West Limerick Labour Deputy Arthur Spring is encouraging parents in Kerry to give their views on how best to reform the childcare system, all as part of the new Labour Party campaign.
Deputy Spring is asking people to partake in a short online questionnaire and submit their thoughts on a range of childcare issues, from cost to quality of care.
The Kerry politician is one of four Labour TDs that were recently selected by Tánaiste Joan Burton to sit on the party's new 'Working Group on Childcare' which has been tasked with looking into the issue.
Feedback from this survey will go on to shape the party's 2016 General Election manifesto.
"Childcare is a huge issue for parents in Kerry and one which comes up regularly on the doors when out canvassing. It is evident that the current childcare situation in Ireland is not working to facilitate parents, particularly mothers to combine work and family life, and we in Labour are working hard to reform it," said Deputy Spring.
"As part of this new campaign, I would like parents from Kerry who have young children and use childcare resources regularly to fill out our short questionnaire. I will be paying close attention to the views that come back to us as part of my work with the new working group," he said.
"We want to hear from parents about their childcare arrangements, what works and what doesn't, and more importantly, how things could be made easier for them. It's clear that we have to do more when it comes to supporting families raise their children," he continued.
If you would like to let your views be known and take part in this survey, you can do so by clicking HERE.

These cocktail tidbits have a stuffing of cream cheese, celery and artichoke that's a creamy contrast to the crisp grilled bacon that wraps the prunes.
Smoked prunes add an unexpected flavor to this easy to prepare granola. Prunes in the form of a crunchy, salty and sweet granola adds texture to this dish.
Make an extra batch of these tasty plum-stuffed turnovers, wrap them individually and freeze for a convenient snack or appetizer.
Sweet and tangy this pizza will surprise your taste buds.
Dried plums, curry powder and chutney blended with cream cheese make an Indian-inspired dip. Serve with crisp pappadums instead of crackers to carry out the theme.
For a simple snack, spread crackers with your favorite creamy cheese and top with dried plums.
Simple skewers of feta cheese and dried plums are made special with a drizzle of honey and crushed fennel seeds.
A quick and easy, make ahead, recipe for holiday entertaining. Broil the bacon-wrapped dried plums just before serving.
Created by: Kelly at Live, Love, Texas.
Sharp, tangy winter greens contrast beautifully with the creaminess of blue cheese and the sweetness of dried plums. This salad is a great way to use leftover roast chicken.
Need an easy and TASTY appetizer or light meal? I've got you covered! I combine grilled onions, blue cheese and California Prunes in this delicious combination of salty and sweet!
Lumpia with Dried Plum Purée is made with wholesome ingredients including nutrient-packed dried plums, is perfect for casual get-togethers or formal affairs.
Using store-bought naan bread instead of making pizza dough is the time-saving secret of these pizzettas. We like to top these flatbreads with caramelized onions, goat cheese and California Dried Plums, then add a side salad for a great light lunch.
Meltingly tender pork belly glazed with a sweet and savory miso prune sauce in pillowy steamed bao buns.
Soup is the ideal way to warm-up dinner on a cool night. Dried plums' sweet flavor blends perfectly with acorn squash, creating a delicious, creamy soup that's sure to become a fall favorite.
Dried plums help to thicken this vinaigrette dressing and give it a nice, sweet flavor. It adds great balance to the tangy radish salad.
By adding dried plums to pate you are able to add texture while also adding the natural moisture.
The bay leaves lend a subtle flavor to these kabobs--use fresh ones if you can. Serve one skewer as an appetizer, or 2 as an entree with rice pilaf and a salad.
This dipping sauce is perfect for a variety of items - from crackers to meatballs. Plus, it has a highly unexpected ingredient.
Italian whole wheat berries and cannellini beans add fiber and protein to this salad. It's good as a first course or on a buffet.

What if management were an art?
Business on November 26th, 2013
The myth of scientific management has all but disappeared, yet the industrial world continues to overvalue methods that have been standardized from outside the business environment, at the expense of creative solutions developed within companies themselves. Isn't it time to change the approach? Michel Berry, founder of the Paris School of Management, has long cultivated an attention to the singularity of situations. But how does one share the intelligence hidden in things singular? How should one train, transmit knowledge and exchange views? Envisioning management as an art overcomes these contradictions.
Et si le management était un art?
Le mythe du management scientifique a disparu, mais le monde industriel continue à survaloriser les méthodes standardisées venues de l'extérieur, au détriment des solutions souvent inventives développées à l'intérieur des entreprises. N'est-il pas temps de changer d'approche ? Michel Berry, fondateur de l'Ecole de Paris du management, cultive depuis longtemps une attention à la singularité des situations. Mais comment partager l'intelligence du singulier ? Comment former, transmettre, échanger ? Envisager le management comme un art permet de dépasser ces contradictions.

Q: php/mysql database searching Can anyone see why the code below is not working?  Is it because of the deprecated sql syntax?  I'm stumped with this one.
<?php
mysql_connect("localhost",$username,$password);
@mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");

$usersearch=$_POST['search'];
$query="SELECT * FROM tracks WHERE 'artist' LIKE '%$usersearch%'";
$result=mysql_query($query);

$num=mysql_numrows($result);

mysql_close();

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {

echo $row["artist"]." | ".$row["name"];
echo "
";

}

?>

A: First, do not use mysql_* please. This extension is deprecated as of PHP 5.5.0.
http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-query.php
You can use mysqli_query() or PDO::query().

A: Probably beacuse you have single quotes(') and not ` when selecting your table. And as pointed out don't use mysql_* use PDO or mysqli, even if its just a school project(old habits die hard). Also you could add
mysql_query($query) or die($mysql_error());

This will probably point out whats wrong..
and for last, please escape dynamic input variables

A: add to the top of page:
 error_reporting(E_ALL);
 ini_set("display_errors", 1);

and open the page in an browser. are there any errors?
change (this mutes errors)
@mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");

to :
mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");

A word of advice though, better to use the MySQLi or [PDO_MySQL][3] instead of mysql_connectsince it will soon be deprecated:

Warning
This extension is deprecated as of PHP 5.5.0, and will be removed in the future. Instead, the MySQLi or PDO_MySQL extension should be used. See also MySQL: choosing an API guide and related FAQ for more information. Alternatives to this function include:
mysqli_connect()

you can find more info of how to use them on this answer.
UPDATE
check if you get an empty result, add :
$num=mysql_numrows($result);
if ($num === 0) echo "Empty result"

and open the page again. if the page is still blank, change:
echo $row["artist"]." | ".$row["name"];
echo "
";

to:
vardump($row);

UPDATE 2
If you did get Empty result, than add
echo $query;

and try to open the page and run the query manually

I was always a little behind the curve when it came to David Bowie. As a child his androgynous, angular face, with its dilated eye, appearing on Top of the Pops, seemed a door into a dangerous and uncomfortable world- even the Laughing Gnome, presumably more my style at the time, was somehow... creepy. At school there were those who fell very much under his spell, but Christiane F helped to lead some of my fellow pupils down a very dangerous road of hard drug use. The contrast between small town tedium and the dark glamour of West-Berlin was too attractive to some- and Bowie was the Lord of Misrule that opened the door. Yet still to me he remained a distant, almost frightening, figure.
His later incarnations- the Pierrot, Aladdin Sane, the Thin White Duke, began to provide a consistent and influential background noise to the music I was more interested in- Eurythmics, Alternative 80s music, American singer song writers and much else besides. In the end, almost reluctantly, and often at the prompting of my friends, I began, partially at least, to understand that despite the ephemeral nature of pop culture, "David Bowie" was not to be found simply in his music. It was the changes, the experimentation with identity, sexuality, even with sanity, which turned a suburban lad from Bromley with a fairly weak education into a figure of major artistic significance. For Bowie had become, through trial and error (and huge drug use), an artist who spoke to millions. Not all of his experiments were successful, and his image and influence waxed and waned through the years, but when he was good- Heroes, Life on Mars, Changes, Rebel Rebel, Starman, Jean Jeanie, This is Not America, Space Oddity, Ashes to Ashes- he seemed to speak about the whole planet to the whole planet, while still offering himself as a detached, alienated, indeed alien, persona. Famously Charles Kennedy was a fan, and so were many other of my Liberal friends, and there seems no doubt that Bowie spoke to the non-conforming, Liberal soul in a way that few other artists did.
As he aged he did not lose his dark glamour, but his angular face gave way to more conventional good looks. He later said he regretted his sexual experimentation, without ever quite disowning it. Being polysexual was something that seemed to go with a persona, Ziggy Stardust for example, but in the end he seemed to find a happy marriage with the stunningly beautiful Iman. In fact Bowie aged well, acquiring a dignity that matched well his previous unbridled hedonism: he had faced his demons and he had won. Except not quite, for in the end the years of cigarettes, drugs and more had undermined his health and so he died at 69, which these days seems quite young.
The reaction to his death, as seems the fashion in today's media, seems overblown. The death of an Artist is not the same as the torture and death in Syria, and I think Bowie himself would be bemused that news of one could drown out the other. Shroud waving and histrionic shared grief for an artist that 99% of us had never met, even if we found meaning in his works, seems excessive. The media coverage has been as self indulgent and shallow as most media is these days- far safer to have an opinion about Bowie than about the political and social questions of the day, which seem to be beyond explanation to the vast majority of modern journalists, never mind their readers of viewers.
Still more absurd has been the reaction of the tiny minded Cybernats in Scotland. The vindictive hatred of these people has poisoned the political discourse for years and even in the face of death these vermin could not haud their whist- and although this tiny and tiny minded group deserve nothing more than contempt, the tacit winks they get from the SNP leadership is part of what makes the political atmosphere in Scotland today so poisonous. What was David Bowie's crime? He wanted his country to stay together and for this he was derided as a "foreign Unionist"- a contradiction in terms, but let that rest. The good news, if there is any in this deplorable episode, is that people are beginning to notice and to condemn this vile fanaticism. As for me the playing of the music of the "foreign Unionist" on the Kelvingrove organ was one of the more poignant ways to say goodbye to a great Artist and F*** you to some small minded, envious, creepy nobodies who form the backbone of the Cybernats.
There may be life on Mars, there is no intelligent life on Planet Cybernat.
David Bowie was probably bigger than both worlds put together.

If you're dealing with your husband's affair and the thought of forgiveness seems impossible, don't give up hope. Work through your own emotions and take the time you need away from your spouse. When you feel ready, have a meaningful discussion together. While forgiveness won't happen all at once, make positive steps toward forgiveness and create a new relationship together.
1Acknowledge your emotions. Don't ignore your feelings like they don't exist, but face them head-on. Acknowledge your emotions in a way that feels good to you, such as writing them down or talking to a friend. Focus on how you feel and what's happening in your body.
Don't be surprised if you feel betrayed, hurt, angry, upset, sad, confused, or in disbelief. It's normal to feel many emotions.
Your emotions can bring clarity. For example, you might realize how much your marriage means to you or how deeply you feel hurt by your husband's actions.
Release your emotions in a healthy way. Especially if you feel angry, you might want to act on your feelings right away. While it might be tempting to get revenge or hurt him back, this won't help you to feel better or move you closer to forgiveness. Find a way to process your emotions on your own without taking them out on your husband.
If you feel angry and need to express the anger, punch a pillow or go for a walk.
Journaling can be a great way to work through your emotions and understand them better. Use your writing to reflect on the experience and write how you feel.
You can express your emotionsthrough art, writing, music, and dance.
Avoid turning to alcohol or drugs as a way to deal with your emotions.
Try to avoid projecting your anger on your husband, friends, children, and other family members. Don't make snide remarks or passive aggressive statements towards them.
3Cool down when you feel highly upset.If you immediately act on your anger or upset, you might end up doing something you regret. When you notice yourself getting angry or upset, remove yourself from the situation and focus on feeling calm. Go to a different room or take a walk outside. Avoid the temptation to lash out at him or do something that will permanently hurt him, you, or the relationship.
Take some deep breaths to help calm your body and your mind.
Use your senses to cope with difficult emotions. Focus on one sense at a time and find ways to connect with it in the current moment. For example, notice all the sounds around you from nature sounds to footsteps in the room next door.
4 Take time away if you need it. It's understandable if you need some time away from your husband, especially if you just found out the news. Living in the same home may be difficult, so you may want to find a friend or family member to stay with temporarily. If you choose to stay in the same home but feel uncomfortable sleeping in the same bed, sleep separately for the time being.
This can be trickier if you have kids. You might want to tell them you're taking a weekend away or that you're temporarily sleeping in a different room. You don't need to disclose what happened.
Let your husband know this is temporary. If possible, tell him a return date so that you can both prepare to come back together.
5 Avoid blaming yourself. No good will come of blaming yourself for the affair. You will only feel bad about yourself. Even if you feel that your actions contributed or led to your husband's affair, don't get stuck on it. If you feel partly responsible, then take responsibility but leave the blame.
When you feel like blaming yourself, give yourself compassion instead. Extend kindness and understanding to yourself. Learn to love yourself by supporting your health and well-being and by sending love to yourself and those around you.
1Ask questions you need answers to.Some partners prefer not to hear the details of the affair, but if knowing them will help you forgive and recover, ask. Try to focus on emotional questions rather than logistical questions. For example, instead of asking which hotel they met in, ask your husband why he decided to cheat. This is a healthier way to move towards forgiveness.
Ask questions you need to know the answers to. For example, ask your husband if he's been tested or is willing to be tested for STIs (also known as STDs).
Ask your husband if he intends to leave you or if he wants to stay and make the relationship work. Clarifying this as soon as possible will help you prepare for the future and move forward.
2Talk about how you feel about the affair. Affairs can bring up many feelings, fears, and insecurities. For example, if you're worried about him cheating again, you're concerned he doesn't love you, or you can't get over how unfair this is toward you, say this to him. It's important for him to know how the affair affects you and what difficulties you are facing in moving forward.
3Listen to how your husband feels. He may have excuses or he may have a lot of regret, sorrow and self-loathing to share with you. Hearing your husband take responsibility for his actions and express empathy toward you can be comforting.
It can take some time to accept his words as meaningful and truthful.
If you both want your marriage to continue, it is important your husband shows remorse for his actions. While you should try to support his needs in the marriage, you should not have to accept blame for his cheating.
4Create boundaries for talking about the affair. Ideally, you do not want the affair to be the center of your relationship. You don't want to completely ignore the affair, yet you also don't want it to be the only thing you discuss together. Boundaries can help you discuss it in a healthy and productive way. For example, if one of you wants to bring it up, make sure you have enough time to have a real discussion.
If talking about it has become all you talk about, take some steps back and make some boundaries together, like only talking about it once each day or once each week.
If you and your husband have children, agree not to discuss the affair with them.
5Confirm the outcome of your relationship. If you're choosing to forgive your husband and move on in your relationship together, make sure your husband is on the same page. He should be clear in saying that he wants the relationship to work and be rebuilt. If he's unsure about moving forward or seems more inclined to divorce, talk about it further. If you know you want to divorce, let him know that clearly.
If you and your husband want to keep your marriage and improve your relationship, you should make a new commitment to each other. When you are ready, you can return to physical intimacy as well.
1Remember that forgiveness is for you.While your husband may feel relieved by your forgiveness, keep in mind that forgiveness has more to do with you than it does with him. Holding on to anger and resentment hurts you more often than it hurts him. Forgiveness means letting go of pain and resentment and being willing to move forward.
Whether you continue a marriage together or decide to divorce, it's in your best interest to let go and forgive your husband.
Forgiving your husband does not mean that you have to stay in the marriage if you don't want to. That said, if you stay in the marriage, forgiveness will help you heal and move on.
2Let go of the affair. Recognize that if you stay together, both you and he need to build a new relationship and not try to recover the previous one. Be willing to move in a new direction and create something fresh. Letting go of the affair means that the desire to create something new must be more powerful than the desire to resent him or stay locked in the past.
Let go of your resentment, feelings of unfairness, and blame. While this is easier said than done, it's also necessary to move forward in your relationship.
Have a letting go ceremony together where both of you write down what you want to let go of, then burn the papers. This can provide some closure as well as create an opening for the new relationship to blossom.
3Attend counseling. If you choose to move forward in your relationship, couples' counseling can be a big part of coming together again with your husband. Therapy can help to create new roles in the relationship and frame the future differently from the past. Even if you choose to split, therapy can help both of you do it amicably and with each others' best interests.
Find a therapist who specializes in working with couples. You may even find a therapist who specializes in infidelity.
Look for a therapist online or call your insurance provider to find someone who's within your network. You can also call a local mental health center or get a recommendation from a friend or a physician.
4Rebuild trust intentionally. Checking your husband's phone or email isn't a way to rebuild trust. In fact, this practice will likely negatively impact both of your trust. In order to rebuild trust, start by open and honest communication. Choose to believe what he says instead of questioning it or doubting it. While it can take time to rebuild trust, be hopeful in moving forward.
Cynicism and doubt are roadblocks to rebuilding trust. If you're struggling with trusting your husband again, talk to a counselor.
For example, start a notebook together where you share your thoughts, hopes, and dreams. Take turns writing in it and supporting each other.
1 Talk with your closest friends and family. Going through this experience can be difficult on your own. Reach out to trusted friends or family members you can talk to about your experience. If you know someone who's gone through something similar, they might be a good person to talk to. Be clear in stating whether you want a listening ear and/or advice. This can help them know how to best respond to your needs.
If you want the information to be kept private, state clearly that you'd prefer them not to share any information with others.
While you should vent your feelings, make sure that you don't spend all of your time criticizing or insulting your husband. Not only will this make it harder for you to heal but it will put your friends in a difficult position if they are friends with your husband. Instead, focus on asking your friends for their support and help.
2Join a support group. You are not alone in your experience. If you're looking to meet with others who have gone through something similar, reach out and find a support group. It can be helpful to talk about your experience with other people who have 'been there' and understand. You can also get advice and share resources with one another and learn how others have forgiven their husbands.
Do a web search to find support groups or call your local mental health clinic. There may be a support group in your local community. If not, find one online.
3Look for support from church and community groups. Reach out to your community for support. Whether you attend a church or spiritual center or feel supported by your kickball league, it's okay to ask for support. If you feel uncomfortable disclosing your situation, make it clear that you're going through a difficult time and need some friends.
You may choose to disclose what's happening or not. It's up to you. Whatever you do, be clear in creating boundaries so that your privacy is protected.
4Help your children feel supported.Most couples choose not to tell their children about an affair. Even if you do not disclose the affair to your kids, they will likely pick up on tensions in the home or between their parents. Assure them of your love and support. Keep things as normal as possible for them and show up for what's important.
Family therapy is a good way to heal tension for your children. Family therapy can help you determine how your children may be impacted by this event and how you can help support them.


The Consolidated P-30 (PB-2) was a 1930s United States two-seat fighter aircraft. An attack version called the A-11 was also built, along with two Y1P-25 prototypes and YP-27, Y1P-28, and XP-33 proposals. The P-30 is significant for being the first fighter in United States Army Air Corps service to have retractable landing gear, an enclosed and heated cockpit for the pilot, and an exhaust-driven turbo-supercharger for altitude operation.
✪ P2V-7 NEPTUNE Military plane- Navy antisubmarine/Air Force Night Attack- Erickson Aircraft Coll.
In 1931, the Detroit Aircraft Corporation, parent company of the Lockheed Aircraft Company built a two-seat single-engined fighter aircraft based on the Lockheed Altair high-speed transport as a private venture. The prototype, the Detroit-Lockheed XP-900, flew in September 1931 and was purchased by the United States Army Air Corps as the Lockheed YP-24. Its performance was impressive, being faster than any fighter then in service with the Air Corps, and an order for five Y1P-24 fighters and four Y1A-9 attack aircraft was placed for the new aircraft, despite the loss of the prototype on 19 October 1931. The Detroit Aircraft Corporation went into bankruptcy eight days later, however, leading to the cancellation of the contract.
When the Detroit Aircraft Corporation failed, the chief designer of the YP-24, Robert J. Woods was hired by Consolidated Aircraft. Woods continued to develop the YP-24, the design becoming the Consolidated Model 25, with all-metal wings replacing the wooden wings of the YP-24 and a larger tail. The Army Air Corps ordered two prototypes as the Y1P-25 in March 1932, to be powered by a Curtiss V-1570-27, fitted with a turbo-supercharger on the port side of the forward fuselage. The order for the second prototype was quickly changed to a Y1A-11 attack aircraft, omitting the supercharger.
First to fly was the Y1P-25, which was delivered to the Air Corps on 9 December 1932. It demonstrated promising performance, reaching a speed of 247 miles per hour (398 km/h) at 15,000 feet (4,600 m), but was destroyed in a crash on 13 January 1933, killing its pilot, Capt. Hugh M. Elmendorf (whose name was later given to Elmendorf Air Base in Alaska).
The Y1A-11, armed with four forward-firing machine guns instead of the two of the Y1P-25 and racks for 400 lb (182 kg) of bombs was delivered to Wright Field on 5 January 1933. On 20 January 1933 the Y1A-11 disintegrated in midair, killing pilot Lt. Irvin A. Woodring. Despite the loss of both prototypes in a week, on 1 March 1933, the Air Corps placed an order for four P-30 fighters and four A-11 attack aircraft. These production variants differed from the prototypes in having stronger fuselages, simplified undercarriages and more powerful engines.
The first P-30 was delivered in January 1934. Testing showed that the gunner's cockpit was uncomfortable and cold at the high altitudes where the P-30 was intended to fight, while the rearward facing gunners were liable to black out when the aircraft was maneuvered. Despite these concerns, on 6 December 1934, the U.S. Air Corps placed an order for a further 50 P-30As, with more powerful V-1570-61 engines driving a three-bladed variable-pitch propeller and with oxygen supplies for the crew.
Three of the four P-30s were delivered to the 94th Pursuit Squadron at Selfridge Field in 1934. The first P-30A, by this time redesignated PB-2A (Pursuit, Biplace), made its maiden flight on 17 December 1935, with deliveries to service units starting on 28 April 1936. The last of the 50 PB-2As were completed by August that year.
While intended as a high altitude fighter, the PB-2 flew relatively few high altitude flights, partly because of the discomfort for the crew. One exception took place in March 1937, when a PB-2A was flown to 39,300 feet (12,000 m) before being forced to return to lower altitudes when the aircraft's controls froze. On 17 October 1936, a PB-2A flown by Lt. John M. Sterling won the Mitchell Trophy air race with a speed of 217.5 miles per hour (350.0 km/h). Since the PB-2A was one of the few aircraft at the time to have retractable landing gear, they were frequently damaged in "wheels-up" landings when the pilots forgot to extend the landing gear.
One PB-2A was modified to a single-seat configuration as the PB-2A Special, to compete in a 1936 Air Corps competition for a new fighter to replace the Boeing P-26 Peashooter. It was larger and heavier than the other competitors and was much more expensive. It crashed during testing, with the Seversky P-35 being ordered into production. One A-11 was converted to the XA-11A testbed with the new 1,000 hp (746 kW) Allison XV-1710-7 engine.
While the PB-2 was sturdy, the two-seat fighter concept was obsolete by the time the aircraft entered service, and by 1939, all had been replaced in front-line service by Seversky P-35 and Curtiss P-36 Hawk aircraft. The survivors remained in use as training aircraft until after the start of World War II, with the last being withdrawn from use on 2 June 1942.
