Q: Unable to StartActivityForResult() with camera Intent this is pretty much a last resort. I have been trying to get a camera intent working to no avail. My end goal is to pass the filepath to another activity. I have tried pretty much every camera intent example out there and nothing appears to be working, and I receive a fatal exception when it goes to the startActivityForResult(). It saves the image, and nothing returns null. I have no idea what the issue is. Code follows

A: Android throws NPE (which is a scandal in itself) every time you try to log a null.
The problem is that you believe that the resulting intent contains Uri of the photo taken. It does not.
Camera app does not have to tell you where the image is stored, because you already know. It was your decision and you have chosen the Uri yourself, sending the EXTRA_OUTPUT.
update: Feel free to ignore my answer if I misunderstood the problem. You can prevent such misunderstandings by providing line numbers (at least tell us which lines are mentioned in the stacktrace) and only publishing parts of the code that actually don't work. As some other answer already tells, it might as well be due to path being null.

A: Your path can be null beacuse Activty can be destroyed and recreated after starting camera application.
As fdreger said, you can use android.provider.MediaStore.html.EXTRA_OUTPUT extra.
Here is a snippet: https://gist.github.com/koral--/6173683

A: It says specifically in logcat that the data you returned is null. In your cameraIntent activity you need to specifically set the results you want to return to your original activity:
 Intent intent = new Intent();
 intent.putExtra("result",yourresult);
 setResult(RESULT_OK,intent);
 finish();

Beyoncé label in crisis
By James Rossiter
Updated: 09:14 EST, 28 June 2005
THE world's biggest independent record label today warned that its profits had collapsed after a series of disastrous delays to record releases.
Sanctuary, home to artists ranging from Elton John and Morrissey to Destiny's Child and Beyoncé, faces serious concerns about its future and businesses may be sold off to deal with the crisis.
Sanctuary is buckling under nearly £118m of borrowings, higher than the company forecasts and more than it is 'comfortable with going forward,' the company said in a statement accompanying annual figures today.
The music group, based in Hammermith, West London, may even be sold off in its entirety to a larger rival such as EMI.
Sanctuary was founded in the Seventies by Cambridge undergraduates Andy Taylor and Rod Smallwood, who hit the big time when they discovered heavy metal band Iron Maiden in a pub in 1979. The band went on to worldwide success.
But today Mr Taylor, executive chairman, confirmed that £9.3m had been wiped from Sanctuary's expected turnover in the first half of trading to the end of March after 'slippage from releases' caused a shortfall of 1.3m unit sales.
Sanctuary slumped to losses of £2.18m compared with £3.8m of pre-tax profits this time last year, and the label said it was embarking on a cost savings plan of 'at least £7m to £8m.'
Mr Taylor said: 'I am clearly disappointed that set-backs within the recorded product releases have resulted in a lack of growth in the business.'
• QUIZ: Test your knowledge on the EMI music company

Q: jQuery $.ajax run as a local HTML file avoiding SOP (same origin policy) I created an HTML file foo.html with the following contents:
  <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.3.js"></script>
    <script>
      $.ajax({url:"http://foo.com/mdata",
        error: function (results) {
          alert("fail");
        },
        success: function (result) {
          alert("sucesses");
        }
      });
    </script>

When I load this HTML file in the web browser it always shows a dialog box with fail.

*

*Any idea why this is happening?

*Also what is the best way to debug this?

PS:
Assume that http://foo.com/mdata is a valid web service path.
EDIT#1
Solution
a similar code worked perfectly fine with me using $.getJson
http://jsfiddle.net/dpant/EK3W8/
i also did save the content as a .html file and a request from file:// to an web service also seems to work.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <style>img{ height: 100px; float: left; }</style>
  <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
  <div id="images">

</div>
<script>
$.getJSON("http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?jsoncallback=?",
  {
    tags: "mount rainier",
    tagmode: "any",
    format: "json"
  },
  function(data) {
    $.each(data.items, function(i,item){
      $("<img/>").attr("src", item.media.m).appendTo("#images");
      if ( i == 3 ) return false;
    });
  });</script>

</body>
</html>

Looks like most of the browsers supports the CROS so you can write a script save it as .html and open it in browser and it will do a Ajax request successfully  *provided that the server you are making request supports it *. In this case my web server (service) does not support CROS (and default configuration of Apache will not support it).
Many of the web-services have enabled the CROS eg http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?jsoncallback=? hence the request goes through successfully.
Few links:
http://enable-cors.org/
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/HTTP/Access_control_CORS
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-Origin_Resource_Sharing

A: It always fails for two reasons:

*

*You need a webserver that answers to your request (200 = success, 404 i.e. is an error) on Linux you can easily setup one, on Windows and Mac look at Bitnami

*You can't call a different domain via AJAX. If you're running your script on www.example.com you can't ask for www.example.net Look at the same origin policy.

A: Actually we are trtying to send a AJAX request cross the domains so it will happen. I have tried this code. on my machine it shows success.
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.3.js"></script>
    <script>
    $.support.cors = true;
      $.ajax({url:"http://www.google.co.in/",
        error: function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) {

            alert("fail");
            alert(xhr.status);
            alert(thrownError);
       },
        success:function(result){
              alert("sucesses");
        }
      });

    </script>

Code works fine with the addition of the line $.support.cors=true, it will definitely work for you.

A: As I figured out, in Content Scripts, you can't do any Cross-Domain XHRs. You would have to do them in an extension page such as Background, Popup, or even Options to do it.
For more information regarding content script limitation, please refer to the page on Content Scripts in the Google Developer's Guide.
And for more information regarding xhr limitation, please refer to the XHR page.


In most cases, floaters are part of the natural aging process. Floaters look like cobwebs, squiggly lines or floating bugs, and appear to be in front of the eye, but are actually floating inside. As we get older, the vitreous – the clear gel-like substance that fills the inside of the eye – tends to shrink slightly and detach from the retina, forming clumps within the eye. What you see are the shadows these clumps cast on the retina, the light-sensitive nerve layer lining the back of the eye.


Do you know how outsystems software integrate with the opensource business intelligence solution called Pentaho? Do you know of any company/case working with this solution?
I'm not aware of any company working with Pentaho.
From what I see on Pentaho site, all their components are provided with a Web Service interface. This may be a way of integrating OutSystems with Pentaho, as OutSystems can consume Web Services on-the-fly, without any coding.


It was my turn again to raid the cellar, put on the apron and entertain the wine group. I mulled over various ideas for what I hoped would be interesting and instructive comparisons, or at least for bottles that might show well. For aperitifs I served the 1988 and 1989 white Cotes du Rhone from Fonsalette - lovely wines that I bought a while ago at auction. The 1988 is the real star but of course that is the one I got less of - but they are both cracking wines. A bottle of Pape Clement blanc 1994 (supposed to be a good vintage for the property) was ruined by a fantastic quantity of sulphur - how do they manage this? A bottle I had at The Peat Inn earlier in the year was just fine so perhaps my other two will be too.
The final whites I served were the Chassagne Montrachet Premier Cru Vergers from Colin-Deleger in the 1996, 1992 and 1990 vintages. As good producers go, his wines are fairly early maturing and have a delicious creamyness. The 1990 is quite evolved, the 1992 clearly the weakest wine and the 1996 attractive with the acidity of the vintage.
For reds I got out three 1993 Barolos: the Monprivato from G Mascarello was refined and elegant; the Brunate from Marcarini more difficult (three stars while the others got four) but it just might benefit from some more time; the Cannubi Boschis from Sandrone completely resolved and with a real depth of fruit. Three remarkable, characterful wines that make me wonder why I buy so much less Barolo than Claret. For comparison I followed with three Tuscan wines. The Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia 1990 from Felsina Berardenga pretty good - upstaging the Tignanello 1990 which was frankly rather disappointing - the latter was a leading wine in the quality revolution in Tuscany but I have a feeling it's not quite on the pace any more. A bottle of Chianti Riserva Il Poggio 1985 from Monsanto was showing its age a bit but was a refined, drinkable wine. If one is thinking of Piedmont versus Tuscany, this was a win for the former, but I guess you have to wheel out the Brunellos before there can be a real contest. Mind you, I think even then Piedmont would win.
And so to the sweeties: in a battle of Moelleux Vouvray from 1990, Huet's 1er Trie Clos du Bourg beat the good but less stylish Vieilles Vignes Tri de Grains Nobles from Fouquet's Domaine des Aubuisieres. Gould Campbell 1977 seemed a bit hard and rustic but I guess it just needs a few more years.


After a couple of weeks of slowly trickling the celebrities participating for Season 21, ABC finally revealed all the names vying for the mirrorball trophy on Dancing With The Stars. The pairings were also unveiled on today's Good Morning America.
Arguably, the biggest name competing this year is celebrity chef Paula Deen. It'll be interesting to see if she can win back fans she lost during n-gate. Though not a legitimate contender for the title, Gary Busey should provide some wild entertainment during the first few weeks. Unpredictable doesn't even begin to describe him.
This season also boasts the first ever married couple competing on the show- Alexa PenaVega and Carlos PenaVega. The one I'm most rooting for though is Real Housewives' Kim Zolciak. As you all know, I'm addicted to the Bravo franchise and would like to see her go further than her predecessors- NeNe Leakes and Lisa Vanderpump.
With regards to the pros, Karina Smirnoff, Lindsay Arnold, Louis Van Amstel and Anna Terbunskya return after being missing in action. However, hunky Artem Chigvintsev is nowhere in the mix. BOO! Check out all the pairings below.
My early predictions for the Season 21 mirrorball trophy are Nick Carter, Alexa PenaVega and Bindi Irwin. The latter especially since she's paired up with fan favorite Derek Hough.
What do you think of this season's cast? Who do you think will win? Weigh in below. DWTS returns on ABC on September 14.

Norfolk table tennis octogenarians are staying young at heart

Experience can save you a whole lot of running in a table tennis match, as the four octogenarians of the Norwich and District Table Tennis League are still proving on a regular basis.
The quartet have combined playing experience of over 250 years and still take great joy in using their skills to give younger players the runaround.

'They all want to hit the ball as hard as they can, but we like to slow them down,' said 80-year-old Dennis Calver, the league's co-ordinator.
'But it's always been the same, I remember playing an 80-year-old when I was younger and was thinking it was going to be easy, but by the time your finished, you're running around more than them!'
The league's four octogenarians are proof of the mental and physical benefits of people staying active into their later years, with all still possessing a wicked flick of the wrist to send their opponents sprawling.
Mr Calver, along with his wife Margaret, is one of the founder members of Taverham Table Tennis Club, which plays its games at Taverham Village Hall.
He is also been an umpire since 1980 and an international umpire since 1990, which has seen him officiate around Europe and at world championships.
'You can play the game anywhere and be of any age,' Mr Calver said. 'I don't play as much as I used to now but I can still play perfectly all-right, although I don't win as many as I used to!'
The elder statesman of the quartet is 87-year-old Reg Juett, the president of Taverham Table Tennis Club.
Mr Juett does not play as much as he used to but is still playing doubles matches. He said: 'I started playing in 1940, when I first went to work, so I've only got the 73 years experience.
'It's been something to do since my wife died 15 years ago but I just like the game I suppose.'
Mary Sawyer, from Spixworth club Missionaries, is still taking her table tennis very seriously though.
The 80-year-old, from North Walsham, first started playing the game when she was 15 and has represented England at veterans level eight times since his first appearance at the age of 70, playing in countries including Turkey, Germany, Holland and Bulgaria.
Mary said: 'I just love the game so much, meeting people is lovely and playing for England has been wonderful. It keeps you going and I just love it.
'I don't move like I used to because I have two artificial knees now but I still love playing.'
Eric Anderton, from Thorpe St Andrew is also still going strong at the age of 80 and playing in the third division for Thorpe.
He was part of the original club when it was formed when he was 14, when two teams were set up, and started playing in the local league at around 16 years old.
'I enjoy it because it keeps you fit,' Mr Anderton said. 'I've always played sport, I played football, cricket tennis, and I've started playing short mat bowls now as well, so I've always been keen on my sport and kept that going.

38th EVA International featuring 56 artists in exhibitions across five venues in Limerick city
With the comeback once again of 38th Annual EVA International, there will be a range of historical to recent artworks from international artists.
38th Annual EVA International is up and coming for another celebration
EVA International – Ireland's Biennial of contemporary art proudly presents the 38 Annual EVA International, featuring historical, recent and commissioned works by 56 Irish and international artists in exhibitions across five venues in Limerick city and an extended programme at Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin.

The 38th Annual EVA International takes its starting point from the painting Night's Candles are Burnt Out (1927) by Irish artist Seán Keating. The painting presents an allegory of the Irish psyche at the time of the construction of Ardnacrusha, a hydroelectric dam built that same year on the border of County Limerick. Ardnacrusha, constructed in the early twentieth century, accelerated the national economy and radically shifted the society of the new Irish state. Keating's painting depicts a host of characters set against the backdrop of the construction site of the

dam.
Alongside Keating's paintings of Ardnacrusha, the exhibition includes works by artists from across geographies, generations, and media, presenting work with narratives of modernisation (in which electrification played a crucial role) and metaphors of power.
The 38th Annual EVA International has no title, breaking with a tradition that dates back to 1990. This decision, taken by curator Inti Guerrero, is designed to emphasize the word 'international' that is central to EVA's identity. Guerrero explains: "In our current state of nationalisms, hard-borders, protectionism and a complete change of course in humanity, where the liberal belief of a 'never again' seems to be dismantling, the word 'international' suddenly carries an important weight worth embracing. Since its foundation in 1977 in Limerick, EVA has been a forerunner in understanding the world through art in a transnational, transcultural, international dialogue, presenting its contradictions, anxieties and possibilities."
There will be five venues for the art in Limerick; Limerick City Gallery of Art, Cleeve's Condensed Milk Factory, Limerick Clothing Factory, RHH – 6 Pery Square and The Hunt Museum with a massive variety of incredible artists. The exhibitions will run from April 14 to July 18 in Limerick so prepare for some jaw-dropping, eye-widening works of art!

Q: External link is not opening Can someone help me out with this one.  I have a page, in which is a menu, which I am performing some js stuff on links containing the class 'opener'.
Every link works great, except non-'opener' links (aka... external links), these seem to do nothing.
Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong here:
http://new.o7thwebdesign.com
if you click on 'Test 1', the page goes to an internal page as it should. (note, 'External' only exists on the home page, so you'll need to click 'Home')
if you click on 'External' it does not do anything.

A: In the script h.basic.js you have the following code:
$('#menu li').click(
    function () {
        $(this).siblings().find('ul').slideUp('normal');
        $(this).siblings().find(".menu_arrow").attr('src', '/Images/sidebar_icons/right_arrow.png'); // Slide up all menus except the one clicked
        $(this).has('ul').find('ul').stop(true,true).slideToggle('normal'); // Slide down the clicked sub menu
        $(this).attr('class', 'current');
        var down = $(this).find(".menu_arrow").attr('src') == "/Images/sidebar_icons/right_arrow.png"
        $(this).find(".menu_arrow").attr('src',
          $(".menu_arrow").attr('src').replace(down ? 'right_' : 'down_', down ? 'down_' : 'right_'));
        return false;
    }
);

The return false; prevents the default action of the event which was a click on a link. Try the following instead:
$('#menu li').click(
    function (e) {
        $(this).siblings().find('ul').slideUp('normal');
        $(this).siblings().find(".menu_arrow").attr('src', '/Images/sidebar_icons/right_arrow.png'); // Slide up all menus except the one clicked
        $(this).has('ul').find('ul').stop(true,true).slideToggle('normal'); // Slide down the clicked sub menu
        $(this).attr('class', 'current');
        var down = $(this).find(".menu_arrow").attr('src') == "/Images/sidebar_icons/right_arrow.png"
        $(this).find(".menu_arrow").attr('src',
          $(".menu_arrow").attr('src').replace(down ? 'right_' : 'down_', down ? 'down_' : 'right_'));

        return e.target.target == '_blank';
    }
);

The changed line being:
return e.target.target == '_blank';

That is a bit confusing but it looks at the target element of the event (The anchor being clicked) and then looks at it's target property which is set using the target attribute of your <a> tag. If it is _blank then it returns true, otherwise it returns false. So links with target="_blank" will retain the default behaviour, while links without that will supress it.

360 Real Estate Video and Virtual Reality are becoming one of the most popular ways for realtors to market their properties. The ability of providing buyers with a full 360 degree "look where you want" view will likely be a game changer in real estate . According to 360VirtualReality, there are some major advantages of providing buyers with 360 Real Estate Video.
60% of prospective buyers find virtual reality video tours to be very useful.
Just under half of prospective buyers like to view a virtual 360 video tour of the property in order to make an informed purchasing decision.
Real estate listings with video receive 500% more inquiries than those which do not include video.
80 % of homeowners would be more likely to list with a realtor who uses 360 degrees , virtual reality video to market their home.

On May 14, 2018, in Williams v. Mosaic Fertilizer LLC, No. 17-10894, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a summary judgment for the defendant in a toxic tort lawsuit in which the trial court excluded the plaintiff's expert from testifying for failure to satisfy the standard set forth in Fed. R. Evid. 702 and Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 509 U.S. 579, 113 S. Ct. 2786 (1993). The Court of Appeals focused on three deficiencies: the expert's failure to conduct an individualized dose-response analysis (as scientific estimate of the dose or level of exposure at which the substance at issue causes harm), his failure to demonstrate a scientific basis for concluding that the dose-response exposure levels he did choose would likely produce, contribute to, or exacerbate the plaintiff's conditions, and his failure to rule out other potential causes of the plaintiff's conditions.

John David Weathers was born on September 25, 1969 in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee. Weather was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 3rd round of the 1991 draft.

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) today approved a settlement agreement with Uber on reporting of data on sexual harassment and assault.
The settlement agreement between the CPUC's Consumer Protection and Enforcement Division (CPED); Uber; and the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN) resolves an Order to Show Cause brought against Uber by the CPUC for failure to respond to CPUC Rulings requesting information regarding sexual assaults and harassments. Uber will pay $9 million to support safety initiatives directly promoting public interest in passenger safety, including:
$5 million to the California Victims Compensation Board to be used for the victims of violence and sexual violence, with a recommendation to target these funds to outreach and to victims of sexual violence and violence taking place in the passenger carrier industry.
$4 million for efforts to address physical and sexual violence in the passenger carrier industry, including contracts to be managed by CPED for the following:
An industry wide evaluation of existing protocols and practices for classifying and reporting violence, including sexual violence.
Development of recommendations for industry wide best practices for receiving, reporting, and responding to complaints of violence, including sexual violence.
Development of industry wide education, outreach, and training on all forms of violence prevention, including sexual violence in the passenger carrier industry.
Uber will also pay a $150,000 fine to the state's General Fund.
Further, under the settlement, Uber will: 1) provide information on sexual assault and harassment to the CPUC on a going forward basis, leveraging a unique identifier system to protect the identities of survivors when transferring data to the CPUC; and 2) will create an opt-in process for survivors to make more of the information on their assault available to the CPUC.
The proposal voted on is available at https://docs.cpuc.ca.gov/PublishedDocs/Published/G000/M427/K636/427636880.PDF.

I am so excited to send out our first Christmas cards from the Noel family of three this year! We are going through Minted because their cards are GORGEOUS. It's taking me way too long to pick out just one design but right now this one might be my favorite.
Once you upload a photo, you can make it so that photo will appear in all of the designs as you're looking through them so you can see exactly what your card will look like - how cool is that? There's a lot of different customizing options available too, so that you can make sure you get the perfect card. I'm a huge fan of kraft paper so I already have the kraft envelopes in my cart! I am also definitely going to take advantage of the free address printing. It is so awesome because 1.) who has time to write out envelopes, and 2.) the printing looks ten times better than my handwriting! I am so excited to get them sent out - probably the day after Thanksgiving, because I will definitely not be able to wait any longer!
Ahhh I LOVE minted!!!! I bought personalized Mother's Day cards there last year! The are gorgeous and the quality is really good! I used the feature of uploading a picture and seeing it displayed in all the option when searching for a save the date! That is such an awesome feature!! And the address printing they offer are awesome they have a bunch of different options! Have fun!

I was given the opportunity by Scholl to review some new foot and nail care products!
http://www.scholl.com.au and found a few goodies to try.
My hands needed some TLC so I decided to give this a try on my fingernails.
I was worried that it would be too rough to use on my hands as my fingernails aren't super strong, but the packing states that it is designed for both toenails and fingernails.
I attached the file head first and set it to the lowest setting.
It felt fine on my nails, it didn't feel to rough to use. You definitely have to apply a light pressure, I found when I pushed down firm it wouldn't work as well (packaging states to gently file).
You can make a nice shape with it, I just found personally that the vibrations of the product made it hard to see what I was doing.
Once I had my desired shape, I changed heads to the buffer.
It states that it evens out ridges and smooths the nail surface.
I do have ridges and my nails tend to flake a lot so I set it to the highest setting as I wanted to give them a really good buff.
The packaging states to use it for a maximum of 15 seconds per nail ever fortnight to avoid overusing.
I glided the buffer over my nail, making sure to cover the entire nail evenly.
As you can see I have bad cuticles, especially on my thumb.
The buffer didn't help much with removing that, however it doesn't state that it removes over grown cuticles, so I removed those myself with a cuticle clipper.
It also didn't help to remove the uneven nail layers that I have due to my nails flaking.
I found that it did smooth them out, but I not as much as I would have hoped. I have buffing blocks that do a better job.
Once my nails were buffed, I changed to the third head to add shine. I set it to the highest setting, as I wanted to se just how shiny they could get. It states to apply a light pressure for best results.
I really liked the way this head made my nails look. It didn't add an over the top shine, just enough to make them look healthy.
After a few days of using it, my nails are still looking shiny and they haven't become weak from using an electronic file.
All in all I was pretty happy with the product, however was a little disappointed with the buffing head.
This product isn't suitable for people with weak, damaged nails. If your nails are in quite good shape then this would definitely work for you.
I have also tested this out on my toes. I used the high setting as the nail are a lot thicker and stronger. Its easy to create a nice squared nail shape on the toes, but I would recommend clipping them down if they are a bit long as it took a while to file them down without clipping them before hand.
My feet aren't in the worst condition, they get a little dry sometimes but other than that they are ok.
I would be interested to see how this product worms for someone with extremely dry feet.
They ant too bad, just a patch of dry skin on the balls of my feet and a little around the heel.
The instructions state that it buffs away hard skin in an instant and that it is easy to use. Gently rotate over hard skin and see dead skin cells disappear.
Not to be used on wet skin, and no longer then 3-4 seconds in one spot at a time. Do not use on sore or irritated skin and not suitable for people with diabetes or people with poor blood circulation.
So with that all in mind, I turned it on and started from the heel of my foot and gentle glided it in an upwards motion. I did this all over my heel, not taking it too far up as the skin in the mid section of my foot isn't dry.
I then did the same on the balls of my feet, concentrating on the area below my big toe where I had a patch of dry skin.
It might look like they are still dry, but I believe this is just due to the fact that it is used on dry, not wet skin. They feel a lot smoother and softer. Once you wash off the excess dead skin cells and dry them, they look much better. I just wanted to show you how they looked instantly after using it.
I really liked this product I think it is an excellent hard skin remover. As I said, my feet weren't in a terrible condition so my results may be different to others.
The night of using the Express Pedi I used the Night Mask to moisturise my feet after buffing away all the dry skin.
It states that you simply apply and massage into dry clean skin before bed. Works like a moisturiser and there is no rinsing required.
I applied an amount the size of two peas to each foot, leaving a small amount of residue on my feet. I put my bed socks on too to keep my feet warm.
When I woke up in the morning my feet did feel lovely and soft. It states that it provides up to 24 hours of hydration, which means that if you had incredibly dry feet you would need to use this every night. I found that I could use it every second or third night as my feet aren't too dry.
I think that over all these three products work really well together. They are the perfect pedicure set.
The only two things I didn't like was the fact that it is a bit hard to see what your doing with the electronic file, and the buffer didn't work too well on my ridges. Other than that i saw no faults with the products and would still recommend them to my family and friends.
Be sure to read the packaging before purchasing these products as there are some contraindications.
I hope this review was helpful to you all!

AN OIL worker heard his wife die from almost 8,000 miles away.
Darron Smith, 35, was on a rig off Indonesia when wife Anna, 37, lost her battle with a previously undiagnosed cardiac condition. She suffered two cardiac arrests.
He was on the line to Anna's mum on Shetland, off the north east coast of Scotland, where the couple lived with four-year-old daughter Ava.
"I take comfort in being with Anna in her last moments - even if it was on the phone and I was thousands of miles away," he said.
"I heard my mum, Carolyn, say, Is she gone?' and the medical team confirm it.
"It was distressing, but comforting to be there, albeit thousands of miles away at the end of the phone."
It took Darron five flights and more than two days to eventually get back home to Shetland after Anna's death on 23 January 2015.
"I had a message from my mother to call home, I was working offshore Indonesia, the call was to be the worst news one could ever receive," he said.
"Anna took ill and within 24 hours passed away after two cardiac arrests. She was a young mother with everything to live for, she was fit and looked after herself."
He spent the entire time downloading psychology books on how to help small children cope with the death of a parent - to better prepare him for helping their only daughter Ava, four, deal with her grief.
"Ava is coping much better than me at times, but children that age have a remarkable way of speaking up and stating what's happened," he said.
"We will cope with losing Anna in the way Ava finds best."
Dental nurse and carer Anna had a ruptured valve in her heart, the family believe.
Her death has struck a chord with hundreds of friends, family and others who have raised £14,000 to help other cardiac patients.
A team of heart specialists had been flown to Shetland's Gilbert Bain Hospital ready to transport Anna to a unit on the mainland.
"But she passed away before they managed to stabilise her for transfer," Darron said.
"Anna became ill so quickly they had to put her into a induced coma to prepare her for surgery.
"Every hospital doctor on Shetland had been put on alert to assist if needed. But she deteriorated so quickly she didn't make it to the operating table.
"One of the main doctors told me that it was the first time he had seen this happen in more than 30 years in the job."
The previously healthy young mum died within hours of being admitted to hospital.
Darron is now making memory boxes to help Ana remember her mum when she grows up.
"She will want to know what her mum was like," he said.
An incredible £14,000 has been donated to the British Heart Foundation in just a few days through a JustGiving fundraising page set up online in Anna's memory.
It is testament to how well-loved and respected she was.
Friends of the couple and workmates of Darron have piled in sizable contributions to show their respect.
Print-outs of the JustGiving page were one of the first things placed in the memory box.
"I never believed for a moment how much would be raised," he said.
"Everyone will have been touched in some way by a heart condition, either personally or by a relative's experience. Support has been overwhelming to an extent we never imagined."
Anna's death has left a huge hole in her family which her mother Catherine, is struggling to cope with.
Darron's parents, Carolyn and Rodney, are also stunned.
"Everyone wants to help," he said. "But I am struggling to find a path forward from losing a wonderful person.
"She was perfect in every way and the best mum Ava could ever have wished for.
"But the cruelty of life has stepped in to change all that and I'm looking for a way to cope.
"I know many dads will have been in my position before and will recognise what I am going through and know how important it is to survive this."
The couple met after Darron saw Anna in a car park in Shetland's capital, Lerwick, back in April 2003.
"She looked gorgeous and I came up with an excuse to approach her and chat. My life changed from then because she was such a lovely, vibrant person who became a devoted wife and mum."
Now with his future changed so painfully, Darron is wondering what he is going to do work-wise with the rest of life.
"I have a lovely wee daughter to raise," he added.
"Hopefully, I will find something which allows me to earn a living and be a dad at the same time. But it's early days and Anna has only been gone a month.
"I know something suitable will turn up."


I have been sitting here reading this article, and all the comments, and feeling more and more charged up, with feet tapping, holding my breath, rocking, and an overpowering feeling of connection to all of this.
I am nearly 60, recently resorted to anti-depressants after a major meltdown in life; and with frequently changing diagnosis in addition to major depressive disorder (which has never felt correct to me). ADHD was the first, minor BP another, they were both dropped by a new doc, then adhd re added along with Straterra.
I am starting to wonder if this could be the answer after all. Like many, I was told no because I am empathic, I laugh, and hyper aware of body language. Lately I am thinking perhaps that in reality my inability to understand the boundaries of others, my lack of the understanding of time passing, and avoidance issues might point to ASD.
Hmmm, what else… cathartic panic meltdowns in relationship disagreements that make no sense to me whatsoever. The Zoloft has mellowed the meltdowns mostly… but leave me feeling apathetic and non creatively inspired.
One odd bit, strange nerve jolts thru my body when I was tired and cold… the Zoloft mellowed that out as well, although they come back immediately if I miss a couple doses.
Very textural… if clothes feel wrong I will not wear them. Music can consume me… smells are powerful… are any of these things signs?
It is just that when I read blogs and such by people on the spectrum, I can relate! This and other blog posts by Seventh Voice are very informative.

Once a significant naval power, the famously friendly Netherlands or Holland is now one of the most densely populated nations on earth, with over 15 million people calling this relatively small country home most of the country lies below sea level. It's overlooked as a scenic destination from cities crisscrossed with canals and to national parks filled with dark green forests. While most visitors to the Netherlands often referred to as Holland focus on Amsterdam, the country's vibrant capital with its great museums and art galleries, there are many charming towns and villages in this small fascinating country to explore. And because the country is so flat, it's extremely easy to do at least a little sightseeing by bicycle. Many communities actively encourage the use of pedal power and provide bikes to explore the sights at no cost. A major colonial power, the Dutch mercantile fleet once challenged the English for world naval supremacy, and throughout its 17th century Golden Age, the standard of living was second. Netherlands is one of the most developed countries in the world, with the highest population density in Europe. It's an international, well integrated place too most people speak English, at least in the heavily populated west of the country and most of the country is easy to reach on a public transport system of trains and buses whose efficiency may make British and American visitors happy.

21 Jul 2019 --
MURDER-convict Keith Mukata has applied for leave to appeal out of time to the Supreme Court against the Court of Appeal's decision to uphold the death sentence slapped on him, saying he wants to be heard by the highest court before his life is taken away.
Mukata, a lawyer and former Chilanga UPND member of parliament, stated in his affidavit supporting an application to appeal out of time that having been condemned to death, he wanted the court to allow him exercise his right to be heard by the Supreme Court.
"Having been condemned to death and this being a capital offence which deprives me of a right naturally inherent and constitutional guaranteed being every person's fundamental right to life it is in the public interest that I be allowed to exercise my right to be heard up to the highest court of the land before my life is taken away," Mukata submitted.
Mukata was sentenced to death by hanging by Lusaka High Court judge Susan Wanjelani on February 28, 2018 for shooting dead Namakabwa Kalilakwenda who was a security guard at his law firm AKM Legal Practitioners in Lusaka's Rhodes Park but he appealed to the Court of Appeal.
Mukata killed the guard on May 6, 2017.
However, on May 23 this year, the Court of Appeal upheld the death sentence after dismissing his grounds of appeal.
And Mukata in the notice of application for leave to appeal out of time, stated that he intends to challenge the judgement of the Court of appeal to the Supreme Court on grounds that the lower court erred in law and fact by dismissing all the grounds of appeal presented before it except one.
He stated that he will also argue that the Court of Appeal erred in law and fact by maintaining the finding of the trial that the deceased was shot from inside the premises when the basis upon which the trial judge made that finding was in fact dismissed on appeal.
The convict stated that he will further argue that the Court of Appeal erred in law and fact by making conclusions and findings of fact on appeal which are unsupported by the evidence on the record.
Mukata added that he also intends to argue that the Court of Appeal erred in law and fact when it varied the evidence of the witness regarding the 9mm cartridge that he picked from the crime scene.
He stated that his grounds of appeal to the Supreme Court have good prospects of succeeding as he believes the court erred in law and fact when it threw out the appeal.
Mukata added that if the application was not granted, he will be greatly prejudiced as he would be deprived of the right of appeal.
In dismissing the appeal, Court of Appeal judge Chalwe Mchenga, who read the judgment of the court, said Mukata had intentions to kill his guard Kalilakwenda of Men in Black Security Firm because the convict concealed the fire arm in his motor vehicle in a basket that contained plates and hid the keys to the vehicle in a flower bed.
Mukata is held at the Kabwe Maximum Correctional Facility condemned section.
