Q: Logging a user in manually on Laravel 5 I'm using facebook JS to log in users to a laravel 5 application.
I'm able to add the information to the database correctly but I'm trying to log the user in manually and can't figure it out.
Here is my controller:
    <?php namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Http\Requests;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\lib\TopAdditions;
use App\Http\lib\GeneralFunctions;
use App\User;

class FacebookLoginController extends Controller{
    public function FacebookRegistration(){

        $facebook = new User();
        $isThereAUser = User::where('name', $_GET['name'])->get();

        if(!count($isThereAUser) > 0){
            $facebook->name = $_GET['name'];
            $facebook->email = $_GET['email'];
            $facebook->password = sha1($_GET['password']);
            $facebook->remember_token = $_GET['token'];
            $facebook->save();

            $id = User::where('name', $_GET['name'])->get();
            $this->LoginUser($id);

        }

    }

    public function LoginUser($id){

        \Auth::login($id[0]['id'],true);

    }
}

When I run that and there is no such user in the database, the user is created and I get this message when the manual login is attempted:

ErrorException in Guard.php line 425:
  Argument 1 passed to Illuminate\Auth\Guard::login() must implement interface Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable, integer given

I've been searching the web for similar situations but couldn't find anything that will help...
Please help me!

A: You should pass the user object, not the id, to Auth::login. So just change your function to be like this:
public function LoginUser($user){
    \Auth::login($user, true);
}

A: I had the same problem, this is the solution that worked for me in Laravel 5.4:
public function LoginUser($id){
    $user = User::find($id);
    auth()->login($user);
}

Every now and again, one item knocks me off my feet and I just can't wait to share it with my readers on OMG. I simply can't take my eyes of this stunning piece I just discovered, just one of the many luxury bracelets made by Leon of Beverly Hills. While the chainlink trend endlessly finds its way back in and out of trends, this is total splurge piece to don and if you have the funds to purchase it I totally recommend you do! The 18K yellow gold and tigerseye combo is classic; it's a fine piece you could wear at 25 and at 75 years old. Can't you just picture Kim Kardashian, Kimora Lee Simmons, or JLo rocking this with a hot bodycon dress? What about a more mature celeb in business formal attire, such as Anna Wintour? When it comes to celebs, Leon has Beverly Hills jewelry covered. For the rest of us looking for high quality, handcrafted jewelry, made from the finest precious metals and stones, you really can't find a better jeweler with a lifetime guarantee.

Q: how to remove a specific word from a list of folders
please  help me remove particular word from a list of folders not files specifically not files
remove karbonn from all the folder names without modifying internal data

A: If you install PowerShell on your Windows XP machine, this would be very easy.
In the PowerShell terminal, you would need to move to the directory where you'd want to change the folder names and then use this command Dir | Rename-Item –NewName { $_.name –replace "Karabonn","" }
It seems like you'd then have some folders that start with - or _ so you could then run the command again to remove those characters.

A: I wrote a program to do this a while ago.  Heres a screenshot

I will upload it somewhere tonight for you to download.

Heres a link

Previewed last month, the Jimny Sierra Pickup Style and Jimny Survive studies look even better in the metal. The former is based on the widebody Jimny Suzuki sells in Europe and other markets while the latter uses the Jimny Kei car as a starting point.The pickup envisions a retro-styled, pint-sized workhorse that even features wooden panels on the sides. It also has a very colorful cabin with plaid seats — only two of them because the rear bench got ditched to make room for the truck bed. Despite that, there's still some storage space behind the seats.Suzuki doesn't mention the payload but the bed seems larger than what one would expect from such a small vehicle. Suzuki sees the Jimny Sierra Pickup Style as a lifestyle pickup targeting people who enjoy DIY activities.As for the Jimny Survive, it's an adventure-focused model equipped with an outer roll cage, steel protective plates on the fenders, steel front skid plate, and a steel front bumper equipped with a winch and tow hooks.The tiny off-roader also features protections for the headlights and taillights, a tailgate-mounted ladder, and a bunch of accessories on the roof including a shovel. The aftermarket wheels shod with off-road tires round off the exterior tweaks. As for the interior, it features seats with fur bolsters at the front and no rear seats. The rear compartment is used for storage and maybe sleep for those who are flexible enough to fit.Suzuki says the Jimny Survive is designed to "run through nature even under extreme conditions" — despite the fact that it only packs a 64hp (65PS) 0.66-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine. It's described as a "reliable companion" that satisfies the adventurous spirit of the Jimny driver.The carmaker didn't mention any plans to build the concepts but the Jimny Survive seems a safer bet than the pickup.

#Citadel update: meaningful support being offered to those with drug addiction issues
The pilot project designed to help and support Kettering's most vulnerable has made real progress since it was launched last year.
#Citadel was developed using latest research and is designed to tackle drug addiction, using a holistic approach. By supporting people with tailored programmes to lift them out of addiction, there are far-reaching benefits for the whole community, including reductions in crime, anti-social behaviour and harm to both the environment and the local economy.
So far, 44 adults are receiving bespoke intervention after being identified as vulnerable. Work is ongoing to identify others who would benefit from similar support.
Of the 44 adults currently engaged with #Citadel, five have responded so well that the risks to them and others have been reduced. This means the support they've been receiving can be scaled down with the proviso there is always an open door for them should they need it. Another five will now be part of a longer and more intensive programme throughout the #Citadel partnerships.
Earlier this year, members of the public were asked to comment on the project and give feedback about what they felt were the key issues the town faced in relation to drug addiction. Of 210 people surveyed, nearly half cited drug-related crime as the biggest cause of harm to the Kettering community.
Lack of treatment options was identified as the biggest barrier to treatment. This is something #Citadel is focusing on – that is, expanding the range of providers to ensure an holistic, person-centred and proactive approach to support those affected. This means continuing to build partnerships with a wide range of organisations, to ensure wrap-around, bespoke support to help each person break the cycle of addiction.
Fear of being targeted by authorities, being prosecuted and social stigma was another key factor those surveyed felt prevented people seeking help. #Citadel uses a non-judgemental, therapeutic approach and stresses people will never be targeted because of an addiction. It uses diversionary tactics to prevent issues escalating to that stage, particularly when it comes to younger people where youth workers are brought in to support children who may be at risk.
#Citadel will also help people who are already involved in the criminal justice system by engaging with them and giving them hope by providing help with addiction, finding accommodation, training and various tactics to improve their employability.
People felt unemployment and homelessness are the key drivers for drug addiction. Detective Inspector Seb Greshner, who leads the project said he recognised this requires a multifaceted response and that the approach will not always be straight forward and will most often require perseverance.
He said: "Drug addiction is a complex issue with many, differing root causes and some of the support available through #Citadel includes helping with safe accommodation, training opportunities, employment opportunities, therapeutic opportunities, family crisis work and more.
"This project is different because it deals with drugs issues in a unique way. It makes no sense to criminalise people who are having issues as this will only impact adversely on, for example employability. It would also most likely exacerbate mental health issues. This is likely to plunge individuals even further into crisis and make them further reliable on drugs.
"If somebody is found in simple possession of drugs, we would look at alternative ways of dealing with the matter, such as putting the person concerned on a drugs awareness session.
"Another feature of Citadel is that, traditionally we have waited for people who need help to make the first approach. Citadel is now identifying those in need and approaching them instead, to offer support and therapy.
"We will however need to act when this begins to turn to criminality, say if that individual is committing other offences like robbery or burglary."
Detective Chief Inspector Gan Thayanithy, the local policing lead for the north of the county, added: "What is important is we view addiction as a health issue and approach it as such. Root causes to addiction vary from person to person. However, it is recognised that mental health, crisis, homelessness and unemployment are a significant contributory factor but they are not exclusive.
"In 2019, Dame Carol Black launched a review (Review of drugs: phase one report - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) into the drug situation in the UK. It is well recognised there needs to be a shared and proactive approach to help those who are addicted to drugs and that the approach needs to be a health approach rather than a criminal justice one.
"What #Citadel is looking to do is approach the issue in exactly that way. We are using existing providers, who have staff with lived experience, but we are building a specialist support network that gives more options to aid treatment and recovery."
Partners involved in the #Citadel project include Substance to Solutions, The Office of Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner's Youth services, Bridge, North Northants Community Safety Partnerships, MY:BK:YD, Prospects and Goodwill solutions. Over the coming weeks, more partners will join the project, providing even wider and more bespoke support for those who need it.
Anybody with information about people with drugs-related vulnerabilities should call police on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

Recently, I have read several great Kickstarter funded comics. The great thing about Kickstarter is it gets not just original comics made, but unique and inventive comics. Transdimensional is a sci-fi horror comic with some great elements. This issue builds successfully on those elements, and the premise of the first issue, as it takes us deeper into the mystery of the sunken Russian submarine.
In Comic Reviews Tags Justin McCarty, TPub, Kickstarter, Indie Comics
I picked up Transdimensional having no prior knowledge of the subject. Not even the Kickstarter description. If I had, I probably would have skipped it. I am probably one of five comics fans that don't get into sci-fi horror. The Kickstarter describes the comic as being a sci-fi horror in the same family as Alien and The Abyss. I've seen Alien maybe (just the one - sad face from you probably), not The Abyss. I wasn't the proper audience for this comic. However, if I was into this type of story, I could see its appeal.

Review: Eisenhorn: Xenos #0
My name is Dustin, and I'm the reviewer for this comic book. Eisenhorn: Xenos is a game based off the novels by Dan Abnett that's set inside the universe of another game. That game being Warhammer 40,000. I haven't the foggiest about which of these the comic book is based on nor does it likely matter. At the end of the day, it's either a comic based on a novel or a video game and that leaves the comic feeling weak in comparison. The comic opens up much like my opening. The main character Gregor Eisenhorn is holding a big fucking sword with some low current electricity around it and a gun with a skull on it.

Our Japanese Adventures continue on Itsukushima – a small island in Hiroshima Bay, often called Miyajima, or the "Shrine Island".
At high tide, the Seto Inland Sea partially submerges the 16-metre high Great Torii Gate that appears to be floating in front of the sacred Shinto shrine.
In the past, the Torii gate was used by pilgrims' visiting the Itsukushima Shrine. Today, the whole complex is a World heritage site; its design dates back to the 12th century and is considered one of the most remarkable ensembles of Shinto architecture.

The story of is a classic love story everyone knows about. There are more than 100 different versions that have already been discovered, but here's another surprising and rather shocking version called . It takes a different spin from the original story with the reinterpretation that it was actually Hyang-dan who loved Mong-ryong even more than Chun-hyang. The love story of Hyang-dan and Mong-ryong is depicted as they overcome their difference in social rank, deviating from the original storyline.
The only son of Namwon's magistrate Mong-ryong(Choi Si-won) is chased after by the policemen as he attempts to help the chivalrous robbers. The place he hides into happens to be where Hyang-dan(Seo Ji-hae) is. Hyang-dan covers for Mong-ryong and they fall in love instantly. Meanwhile, Wol-mae(Bang Eun-hee) comes up with a plan to get Chun-hyang(Lee Ji-soo) married to Mong-ryong, and Chun-hyang has no choice but to take part in the plan as she has grown up as Chun-hyang's servant. Hyang-dan has no choice but to follow the plan due to her social rank. As rumors spread that Mong-ryong and Chun-hyang are seeing each other because of Wol-mae(Bang Eun-hee)'s plan, Mong-ryong's father orders Mong-ryong to go to Seoul using the civil service exam as an excuse. As a cover-up to hide her love for Mong-ryong, Hyang-dan decides to get married to Bang-ja(Heo Jeong-min), who has been good to her to win her over. On the day Mong-ryong is to leave for Seoul, he finds out about Hyang-dan's wedding and runs to see her.
Mong-ryong confesses his love to Hyang-dan, but she turns him down because of their difference in social rank. However, she tells him that if he wins the first place in a civil service exam, she will take it as heaven's fate and accept him. The next day, Mong-ryong announces to his father(Moon hoi-won) that he will go to Hanyang to take the exam. After he leaves for Hanyang, Hyang-dan comes back home as Chun-hyang's servant again. In the meanwhile, the new magistrate Byeon Hak-do (Lee Seong-min) takes post. He tyrannizes the town and takes goods from the commoners while trying to suppress the chivalrous robbers. Then, as Byeon Hak-do requests Chun-hyang (Lee Ji-soo) for bed service, Wol-mae(Bang Eun-hee) asks Hyang-dan(Seo Ji-hae) to go instead.

Tinge of green forecast for Hobart Test
Published: Tuesday, 11 January 2022 5:31 PM GMT+11
Curator Marcus Pamplin is preparing a green-tinged pitch for the fifth Ashes Test in Hobart. Credit: AAP
Australia and England batters won't be granted any favours by Blundstone Arena's head curator, who has pledged a Sheffield Shield-style green-tinged pitch for the fifth Ashes Test.
Hobart will on Friday host its first Test since the 2016 calamity in which Australia was thumped by South Africa by an innings and 80 runs.
The hosts were rolled for 85 in the first innings and 161 in their second, lasting a combined 93 overs.
Adam Voges, Callum Ferguson and Peter Nevill never played another Test, with only David Warner, Steve Smith and Usman Khawaja remaining in Australia's current top seven.
The venue has remained a haven for seam bowlers in the past five Sheffield Shield seasons, with batsmen averaging 27.82 compared to the competition average of 31.32.
The day-night pink-ball scheduling also bodes well for the quicks.
"It'll have a tinge of green on it, for sure. The lead-up hasn't been the greatest but we've always had a tinge of green on the wickets down here," Blundstone Arena head curator Marcus Pamplin said on Tuesday.
"There'll probably be one or two (millimetres of grass) left on it, just to keep the shine on the ball so they can get that swing.
"It'll be pretty much similar to our Sheffield Shield tracks."
The field was virtually underwater due to recent heavy rain but Pamplin said preparations hadn't been affected.
Showers are forecast on day one but are expected to lessen as the match progresses.
Despite the ground proving tougher for batters, Western Australia posted 9-405(dec) batting first in the most recent Shield fixture with Tasmania chasing down 315 to win on the final day.
"I expect it to be a good contest. Especially, first day, there'll be a bit in it," Pamplin said.
"At some period in the game it'll flatten out to a good batting pitch. It should go up and down, day three to four."


To receive the Certificate, participants must complete all six of the two-week courses. While the courses are largely independent of each other and are designed to be taken in any order, it is highly recommended that participants start with the first course.
