Wouldn't it be nice if our plans worked out perfectly? Fortunately, life doesn't work out in such a way. It is more complex than we think, and God's plans are always more than we could ever imagine, (1 Corinthians 2:9). Sometimes we wait days, months, or even years for a particular outcome in our life. Other times, a final outcome is altogether different than we hoped it would be.
God promises his strength when we serve, and serving God by relinquishing our plans is one way we serve him. We just need to ask him for strength. God also promises to "work out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will" (Ephesians 1:11, NIV). We only need to trust him. We need to trust his plans are better than our own.
We should no longer run, reason, or wait. We should seek God for strength and reassurance, and by faith, accept what is before us. God's purpose for our life will ultimately prevail over our plans, (Proverbs 19:21) whether we realize it or not. Wouldn't you rather surrender control instead of fight God for it?
This week we will be studying about God's sovereignty. Please click here for the reading guide. Let's begin by reading Monday's passage.
What kind of attitude are we supposed to arm ourselves with?
If we live for the will of God, what will we ultimately experience?


Joining a new church can be a little scary and intimidating. But when you take ownership of the experience, great things can happen. For our new coffee team leader, Josh Morrison, his path to connecting to our community started with serving.
Q: When did you start coming to Redemption and why?
A: I moved around a lot over the last few years. I lived in New York and LA before I came back to the area. I was attending another church when I moved back and I had a hard time getting connected. For about three years I was leading a Younglife program in Corona Del Mar and a lot of my leaders there were going to Redemption. They told me to check it out. I went to my first service at Redemption in September, then I just kept coming back again and again. I didn't know a lot of people who went to Redemption other than the people who had invited me, but I just kept showing up and eventually got more involved.
Q: What motivated/pushed you to get involved at Redemption?
A: Christine gave me a call one day after I filled out one of the connect cards. Christine was very kind and spent some time getting to know me and asked me how I wanted to get involved at Redemption. Christine told me the coffee team needed some help so I got involved in that. During a launch I decided to join a community group and recently I decided to begin hosting a community group at my house. Then I was asked a few weeks ago if I wanted to take on the responsibility of leading the coffee team. I was really motivated by the people here and I really wanted to get involved in certain groups and contribute to the work that God is doing here. It has been extremely encouraging coming here.
Q: What do you get out of serving on the coffee team?
A: It is a good common "ground" and its a cool platform for people to get connected on a bigger level. It is an amazing opportunity to build friendships and meet a need. I also really love coffee so the coffee ministry made sense for me and gave me an opportunity to serve in a way that I really enjoy.
Q: When did you start serving?
A: I think I started around late-November and have been doing it ever since. So it was about a month after I came to the church. I think it has been a really helpful way to meet other people. Being on a serve team gives you some purpose to begin talking to people and building those relationships.
Q: What would you say to a new person looking to get more involved here at Redemption?
A: The best way to get connected is to meet the needs around you. Jump into a serve team. As you serve others you are going to be helping yourself get connected. You also experience what Christ wants from us in community by serving each other. It seems a bit counterintuitive to help others even though you need help but as you serve you will also get the help you need. Love others and love God.

stopfake.org has been debunking the Russian propoganda
The Charticle Staff December 4, 2019	recent post, Worldwide 367 Views
Syama Prasad Mukherjee's three historic interventions that saved India
In an Exclusive Interview with The Charticle, Viktoriia Romaniuk, Deputy Director at Mohyla School of Journalism and Deputy Editor at StopFake.org discussed about the organisation's fight against fake Russian propaganda, future of Ukraine, conflict with Russia, media ethics and a lot more.
We will like to know the idea behind Stop Fake. What motivated your team to start this venture? And how has been the journey so far?
Five years ago, in 2014 during the Revolution of Dignity, when Ukraine's ex- President Viktor Yanukovych went on the run and Russian troops started to occupy Crimea, Ukrainians experienced a massive disinformation attack from Russia. The informational space of Russia, Ukraine and Europe was flooded with deceitful messages from Russian and pro-Russian media that began to write "about the unconstitutional coup in Ukraine", about the activities of the "junta" as well as "the legitimacy of President Yanukovych" and the role of the US and the EU in the revolution. Life in Kyiv stopped, people lived in fear and uncertainty.
The StopFake project was founded by lecturers and students of the Mohyla School of Journalism. We didn't expect that the project will work for a long time. We hoped that after the revolution, life in Ukraine would quickly stabilize. And we will live in peace. But no we have been working for almost six years already and the problem of propaganda and disinformation is still overwhelmings.
The main objective of the StopFake team was to prove that Russian disinformation is a systematic approach of the Russian government. We have published more than three thousand articles that debunked fakes on our site – that's quite a lot of evidence of Russian systematic lies.
StopFake team not only refuted fakes, but also created a propaganda archive and database, analyses that data and speaks about the propaganda problem at the conferences and seminars in Ukraine and abroad.
More than 40 journalists and editors throughout Europe are now working at StopFake. Information on our website is available in 13 languages, and StopFake also has 3 weekly TV shows in different languages(including English), and a weekly radio program in Russian. We also published a newspaper for the areas of eastern Ukraine where people live near the frontline.
For the sake of our readers kindly elaborate a bit regarding conflict between Russia – Ukraine, the root of it and history associated with it.
The topic of relations between Russia and Ukraine is very complicated. Yes, we have a long history of relations with Russia. This is a history of the struggle against the imperial country which destroyed Ukrainian national culture, language and identity as well as of other nations conquered. First attempt to become independent was around 100 years ago but was suppressed then with bloodshed. Only after the collapse of the Soviet Union as Ukraine regained its independence.
(Viktoriia Romanuik, Deputy Editor, Stop Fake Org with Shaurya Ritwik, Managing Editor, The Charticle at sidelines of CyFy 2019 in Taj Mansingh Delhi)
But Russia's relations with Ukraine in the 90s developed in a very complicated way. They were adversely affected by the problems, that inherited from the USSR. These were issues of succession, the problem of nuclear disarmament, territorial claims, unbalanced economic cooperation based on corruption, occupation of Ukraine's information space by Moscow, the Russian language card played in society to create social conflict. Russia continued to exert strong influence over Ukraine. At the same time, pro-European trends have developed in society. In fact, we observed the struggle between the influence of the Soviet past and the desire for a European future.

President Viktor Yanukovych's era in Ukraine was marked by a large-scale program of unannounced Russification. The unannounced measures on Russification were connected with the rejection of Ukrainian-language information products on state television and radio of Ukraine. It became clear that Yanukovych is closely linked to the Kremlin. Incidentally, in 2014 he fled to Russia, and now he lives in Rostov-on-Don in southern Russia.
On November 21, 2013, Mykola Azarov's government decided to suspend the process of preparation for the signing of the Association Agreement with the EU. It happened at a time when President Viktor Yanukovych in Vienna assured reporters that Ukraine's European integration is ongoing. The rejection of European integration has angered a large part of society. Journalists, civic activists, opposition politicians gathered on the main square of the capital – Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Independence Square). It was the beginning of the Revolution of Dignity in Ukraine. The victory of the Revolution resulted in President Yanukovych escape to Russia. But these events were contrary to Russia's geopolitical interests.
On February 27, armed people with no insignia seized and blocked the Crimean Parliament and other administrative buildings, airports in Simferopol and Sevastopol, communications agencies, mass media, etc.
Later, a referendum on the annexation of Crimea was held under the control of these military men, who were apparently Russian special operations forces.
Immediately after the annexation of Crimea, armed actions began in the east of Ukraine – in Donetsk and Luhansk regions. The fighting was launched by Russian mercenaries, armed and funded by Russia, as well as by Russian security services and then Russian armed forces. Thirteen thousand Ukrainians were killed in the war in eastern Ukraine, including because of lies and propaganda. That's why the main war is information war. Russian media lied about the events in Ukraine concealing its involvement in the war and occupation. The main narratives broadcast by Russia are "the junta supported by the West," "fascist state," "failed state," Russia "did not carry out occupation/war." Fake news also included topics about the Ukrainian army, volunteer battalions, internally displaced persons and refugees in Russia. Particular attention was paid to the topic of "territorial claims" from neighboring countries and the topic of "territorial disintegration of Ukraine," fake news also included "legitimising the annexation of Crimea and the occupation of Donbas." According to our research that were the main narratives.
One of Putin's main narratives was a need to protect the 'Russian-speaking population' in Ukraine – which is another big fake. In fact, today no more than 7 percent of ethnic Russians lives in Ukraine. Although in Ukraine there are two main languages – Ukrainian and Russian. Many ethnic Ukrainians can speak Russian but that does not make them Russians and they have no problems with using Rissian language. Many soldiers who fight in eastern Ukraine against Russia also speak Russian.
That's another important argument that this is not civil war in Ukraine as Russia insist but a just war against the Russian aggressor. There is no doubt the phenomenon of war went through crucial changes. The current war can be happening closer than it seems – and instead of states sometimes there are non- state actors involved. But with its lies, Russia is trying to cover up its crimes and strengthen its influence in Ukraine. And we have a lot of evidence for this.
How strong is the Russian propaganda inside and outside of Russia? And what is your viewpoint on Press Freedom in Russia?
Russian propaganda has an unprecedented scale. For example, The Russian federal budget draft for 2020 shows that state-owned media will receive 1.3 billion euros next year. Note which media will get the most funding.
TV News channel RT (Russia Today) will receive almost 23 billion roubles or 325 million euros, according to the draft. Pervyi Kanal will receive 92 million euros, which will cover producing, acquiring and broadcasting content. Zvezda ("The Star") is owned by the Russia's Ministry of Defence and is one of leading broadcasters. This successor to the official newspaper of the Soviet armed forces, Krasnaya Zvezda ("Red Star") will receive 29 million euros. "Rossiya Segodnya" whose CEO is the EU-sanctioned Dmitry Kiselyov, includes the news agency RIA Novosti, InoSMI and the multilingual international outlet Sputnik will receive 106 million euros.
Finally, a state media outlet, which has survived Soviet name, TASS, will receive 41 million euros in support of its news agency services.
But most importantly – these media work for different target audiences – domestic (Russian), foreign – Ukrainian and international. And all these media are controlled by the Kremlin. The channels and organisations I have mentioned are major sources of Russian lies. StopFake has analysed our archive of the debunking of Russian fakes. And 90% of these fakes were broadcast by those media mentioned.
Our colleagues from the Ukrainian Crisis Media Center presented research, according to which approximately 1/3 of all news and political talk shows on Russian top-3 channels are dedicated to Ukraine and 90% of the coverage has been "negative."
How do you see the Ukraine's internal politics in current days? What measures are being taken by government to present a true picture of the region?
In April of this year the Presidential Election was held in Ukraine. The new President has announced that Ukraine's pro European policy will be continued. Today it is very important to continue with pro-European democratic reforms. Also, the political elite of the country should make efforts to maintain economic and political sanctions against Russia and to maintain independence from Russian energy resources (gas, oil, nuclear fuel).
Of course, Ukraine does not have the financial capacity to invest in the information space, as Russia does. And we will not create our propaganda. But we understand that it is time to react more rigidly to aggressive disinformation, fakes and manipulation.
Today, important laws on the protection of Ukrainian society from disinformation and the regulation of the media are being developed and discussed by the new Ukrainian authorities. Even criminal penalties for broadcasting lies and disinformation can be implemented by this new law. We understand that it is very important to prevent the official Russian media coming back into the Ukrainian media space, as they pose a threat to the national security of the country.
What else can we do? Ukraine also implements many interesting international projects of public diplomacy. Such as the "Ukraine Now" project, for example. This is a major international project that builds a positive brand of our country in the world, attracts attention to us. I am sure there will be more such projects.
In a world like today, where everything is up for sale, including media, how do you see the rise of independent non partisan media like your organisation? What is good media ethics as per you?
Analysing the Ukrainian media space, I should point out that there are no state media in our country. However, some media outlets are still owned by oligarchs who use them as a tool to promote their political and economic interests. And some of these oligarchs are pro-Russian. This creates quite an ironic situation: on one hand the state prohibits the broadcasting of Russian channels and social networks, and on another hand number of Ukrainian channels (now 4 of them) are owned by pro-Russian oligarchs and broadcast Russian disinformation. And when protests about their activities arise in society, the proprietors of these pro- Russian media begin to manipulate the concept of freedom of speech. An important role in the development of the medical space is played by independent media and media organisations. But it's hard for them to compete with big media holdings that are funded by oligarchs. That is why today the audience has to join the fight for independent media space, learn to think critically, analyse information, boycott false publications. The advertising business must also change a lot. For example, last week Jacobs Douwe Egberts Company in Ukraine refused to advertise on one television channel owned by a pro-Russian oligarch and spread untrue information. This should become a regular practice for the advertising business that looks after its reputation.
What role do you think global community can play in ensuring peace in Ukraine?
Over the past six years, Ukraine has come through a difficult path of fighting the information and kinetic war simultaneously. We have unique experience in understanding the essence of Russia's tactics and policies in relation to other countries. What Russia commits commits in Ukraine is not unique – such actions can be found in many other parts of the world.
During last 6 years Ukraine had a huge support of many countries and we highly appreciate it. Today Ukraine is mastering its learning curve in defending its own interests.
But, as I noted, the problem of Russian propaganda is a global threat. Which can threaten any country, so we must unite not only to help Ukraine, but to prevent the possible disaster for others.

My body doesn't appear to be working!
Today is CD 34 and 16dpo, still negative tests.
Anybody know anything about anovulatory cycles? I seem to have problems every second month - perhaps it is PCOS or perhaps one ovary has problems?
By way of a bit of history I came off BC about 10 months ago, with a view to clearing it out of my system before formally trying. I think my periods were pretty much normal for the first 3-4 months.
In April I THINK I missed one all together. I say think as I wasn't particularly paying attention but at one point I realised that I hadn't seemed to have a period for a while, it was another 10 days after that realisation (with a few negative tests in between) that AF showed up. I then had a normal period.
The month after that I had a light period, which lasted only one day. It seemed odd and I went through the whole thing of thinking it might be implantation spotting. Anyway lots of negative tests and I think it must have just been a light period.
31 days later I had a normal period.
It is now 34 days later and nothing...again. I did have very very minor spotting on 6th August, which I thought may have been ovulation spotting, it would have been about the right time.
So hence my thinking that every other period might be just a no show and in fact my cycle is more like 65 days rather than the 32 I think it is.
I have ordered a BBT thermometer from Amazon today to start tracking temps and might go along to the doctors to check out the possibility of PCOS.
If anybody could help with advice on possible herbal remedies, drug remedies, the effectiveness of accupuncture or anything else then it would be appreciated.
I have irregular long cycles, longest was Dec - April! 125 Days O'd on CD 115 it was craziness. I started Vitex in March, dosage of 400mgs 3 pills in the morning kept up with that trhough June then discontinued as no longer TTC but bam this month O'd on CD10 or 11 so now my cyclces went irregular long to short?? I do temp, started in Feb mid cycle and that's helped me grasp a lot. have you started temping?


camnangtuvanduhoc.com – Casino Online Welcome Bonuses and Other Goodies at Judi Poker. One important thing that makes online gambling industry very different from the land based casino is number of different promotions that are offered to the players, right from the generous bonuses to all types of loyalty programs for the players that are both very entertaining and rewarding. The casino bonuses generally work in the way that casino matches one part of money that you have deposited and offers you some extra cash that you can play with. Thus, for instance, you may have an offer of depositing €200 and get €200 to play with. Suppose you are new to the online gambling, then this might appear to be very good to believe, however it is actually the standard offer for the new player at several Poker online indonesia casinos.
Checking out welcome bonus deal is the first things that you must look at while selecting your casino online. All these offers will actually increase your gambling bankroll as well as increase your winning odds, besides providing you with a lot of entertainment. But, you have to know that everything isn't as straightforward as this appears at the first glance.
Only gambling industry might be very generous when it is compared to land based casino but they are still in this business to earn money, and not giving this away. It means that the bonuses (welcome & otherwise) come with some restrictions that will apply to them & you have to be totally aware about these. The wagering requirements are term that you will encounter quite often when you are talking about the casino bonuses. In easy words, it is a turnover that you have to achieve before bonus cash gets released to you & you are allowed to cash this out.
It is tough to completely understand the wagering requirements without first getting an actual feel for it but as the general rule, anything, which goes above 40x bonus amount and 25x full amount (bonus and deposit) is the raw deal. There're a few exceptions, but suppose you are somebody who is just starting, you can find many offers in 30x bonus area, thus you must probably stick to those.
With many welcome casino bonuses, there are some restrictions in place. Often, there is maximum bet in the place, so when you have the bonus active, you will not be allowed wagering more than some amount on the single go.

Q: While using trial mode of live CD, if I install drivers, will it affect my main system? (Background info)
I have Ubuntu 12.04 on my HP 110 netbook and it's working perfectly and configured as I like it.  I have to use the 2d desktop though because it's not a powerful system. Since Ubuntu 14.04 doesn't have the 2d desktop, I am experimenting with Lubuntu 14.04
(Question)
When I am running Lubuntu 14.04 in "try Lubuntu without installing it" from a live USB, can I install wifi drivers without messing with my installed Ubuntu OS in any way?  I don't want to risk it if there is a chance of messing up my beloved Ubuntu 12.04 installation.

A: When you boot any Ubuntu derivate in live mode, it stays in live mode as long as you don't mount any partitions from your disk into the file system. All data will be stored in a RAM disk. You can safely (lets say 99%) change everything you want, it will be gone by the next reboot.

Borazjani Receives NSF CAREER Award
NSF CAREER Award Winners
Fellows of Professional Societies
SEAS Faculty and Staff Awards
SUNY Awards
by Jane Stoyle Welch
Iman Borazjani, an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, received a 2015 NSF CAREER Award for his proposal, "Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) in Biological Flows."
Educational movies that convey the research results in a simple, yet aesthetically pleasing way will be developed and made available at the Buffalo Museum of Science and on a YouTube channel.
Borazjani's research will explore swimming and propulsion in aquatic environments, cardiovascular flows, and energy harvesting with wind turbines, by first developing accurate simulation techniques and then exploring the conditions that lead to energy efficiency.
Advanced computational tools will be developed to simulate the interaction of flow with solid bodies using high-performance computing facilities. These tools will then be used to investigate the flow separation of the front edge of the fins of aquatic swimmers, i.e., the leading edge vortex (LEV), which is thought to enhance their thrust generation.
Inspired by how these aquatic animals are naturally able to improve their thrust generation, the phenomena will be applied to wind turbines to determine if their performance can be improved by generating a stable LEV on the turbine blades. This research can generate a paradigm shift from removing flow separation to generating separation (e.g., LEV) to improve the performance of propellers or energy harvesting devices.
Outreach and education will include creating educational movies that convey the research results in a simple, yet aesthetically pleasing way, activities for professional development of local teachers, and outreach activities for high-school minority students in collaboration with the BEAM program. The videos will be added to YouTube and will be on display at the Buffalo Museum of Science.
Borazjani joined UB's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences in 2010. His research interests include developing advanced computational tools for biofluids and fluid-structure interaction problems, which are used to advance knowledge and gain insights into the physics of important biological/engineering flows.
In addition to the CAREER award, Borazjani received two early career awards in 2013: a Scientist Development grant from the American Heart Association and the Doctoral New Investigator award from the American Chemical Society. He received his PhD in mechanical engineering with a minor in mathematics from the University of Minnesota in 2008.
The prestigious NSF CAREER Award provides five years of funding for researchers. They are designed to support junior faculty who have shown exceptional promise in teaching and research.

Q: 'Cannot find module' when trying to unit test an import from a federated module (webpack 5) with Jest Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?
Report a bug
What is the current behavior?
https://gitter.im/webpack/webpack?at=5fad8fcdb86f64070448ee1c
The current behavior is that when running tests now 'imports' of components from federated modules being found because they're just a reference for webpack from the federated module entryPoint.js
If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.
Let's say we have an A repo with hosts other apps and modules and has an App.js file with the application page.
That App.js imports a component from a federated module.
Then we create an App.test.js to unit test the file and we try to mock the component from the federated module.
What is the expected behavior?
Unit tests should be able to pass with the mocked component.
Please mention other relevant information such as the browser version, Node.js version, webpack version, and Operating System.
Node v12.16.3
"webpack": "^5.4.0",
"webpack-cli": "^4.2.0",

Very easy to get in and get started. Jalana and Brenda were both amazing. I felt better right away, better range of movement and less pain. Super job. I have already recommended you to others. Thanks again to both ladies, and I will see you Friday. [NAME REMOVED] on my first visit to the Spokane location.
Quick and efficient and I don't need to make an appointment to be helped!
Everything was so great, from the service to the fact that I felt so much better after leaving. I have already been recommending Walk In Chiropratic to my friends.
Dr. J is great! Does not seem pushy at all and she truly enjoys what she does. Absolutely a repeat customer. Thanks for the great adjustment and care.
Convenient. Great hours and no appointment needed. Friendly, knowledgeable chiropractor, effective treatment.
For me, I was looking for a quick and simple place to get an adjustment. I'm a pretty healthy guy and my goal is to stay that way. Quick, weekly chiropractic care has helped me stay healthy. Walk In is exactly what I was looking. Weekly adjustments that fit my schedule at a great price.
Everyone is very friendly and professional. It is a very nice environment.
Super convenient, very fast and friendly service.
The doctor was amazing, friendly and remembered me from last summer!

Good morning Ian. Thank you for your comment, we hope Lee continues to visit you and Duke for many years to come.


Who doesn't like a good cruise around the Caribbean? It is one of the best ways to discover new beautiful parts of the world, while you enjoy the great experience of navigating on a ship. When you sail and stop in the different places of your travel itinerary, you always have many opportunities to enjoy each stop; you can have a good meal and drinks, you can visit the town and famous monuments and feel like an autochthonous citizen for some hours, or just chill out on the beach or the amazing natural pools.
But, if you are an avid diver, you will not resist the temptation of scuba diving in those new waters you´ve never seen before, and you may never see again. The most common way to do this, is booking your dives with the dive centers of each place. They will be professionals that will take care of everything you need and they will provide you a proper and safe experience. In this article we are going to tell you about the 5 most popular cruise ship stops for scuba diving in the Caribbean. Do you already have your mask and fins on?
The first of the most popular cruise ship stops for scuba diving in the Caribbean that we recommend is Cozumel. This island is ranked as one of the best diving destinations worldwide, due to its crystal clear water and its beauty and abundant marine life. Here you will easily find turtles, eels, nurse sharks, eagle rays or the endemic Cozumel Splendid Toadfish. Thanks to its huge fauna, Cozumel has been filmed and documented many times by prestigious oceanographers, such as Jacques Cousteau. Would you like to emulate his adventures? Just book your excursion from the Dressel Divers Dive Center in Cozumel and enjoy their special free nitrox offer. They are locate right in the middle of the Cozumel Marine Park.
Playa del Carmen (Mexico) is the scuba diving capital of the Yucatan. This stunning place has many alternatives to meet the expectations of novice and expert divers alike. You can dive along its whole coastline, and enjoy the bull sharks in the winter and tarpons in the summer. In addition, you can also go to the gorgeous cenotes. In the middle of the Yucatan jungle there are sub-aquatic caverns, unique on the whole planet. In these ponds and their caverns you can scuba dive having the impression of floating in mid-air. You will also be amazed by the beams of sunlight penetrating the cavern shafts, creating a magic light show effect. Believe us, cenotes are really worth a visit, and one of the main reasons to consider Playa del Carmen as one of the most popular cruise ship stops for scuba diving in the Caribbean.
Montego Bay has abundant marine life and a huge number of fairly virgin spots to discover. But if there is one place that stands out it is the Marine Park, a wonderful area of reefs extending 6 square miles (15 km2) full with abundant types of marine animals and coral. We specially recommend to visit the Airport Wall dive site. If you prefer snorkeling, the Marine Park's crystal waters are also the perfect place for you. Finally, you should also visit the Luminous Lagoon, and swim in glistening waters. Here you can find more info about how to book excursions to all these places in Montego Bay.
The fourth of the most popular cruise ship stops for scuba diving in the Caribbean that we recommend is La Romana, in the Dominican Republic. Here you can choose among many local reefs as well as unihabited islands and natural parks caverns. In addition, in La Romana you can enjoy 2 different wreck dives, among which we highlight the impressive St-George. We also recommend visiting Saona Island, its reefs are among the best of the Dominican Republic. You will be astonished by the beauty of its protected natural park and its huge natural swimming pool. Last but not least, you should also visit Santa Catalina, an island baptized by Cristopher Colombus himself. Here you could dive among its spectacular wall and coral reefs or stay on the surface snorkeling in its crystal clear waters. Excursions are available from Dressel Divers Base Center in Bayahibe.
Cayman Islands are a world-class dive destination for many scuba divers. The reasons are its great drop-offs, wicked wreck dives and the coolest coral reefs in the Caribbean. Of the three islands, Grand Cayman is the most successful among divers. It is also the one we recommend to visit. Some of the best dives you have to try are Kittiwake (a 17 metres / 55 feet artificial reef), Stingray City (famous shallow dive on a sandy bottom) or Babylon (a large pinnacle with a canyon dissecting the North Wall). Anyway, you have hundreds of dive sites more to explore, and any option will be a success for you and your buddies.
We hope you enjoyed this article about the most popular cruise ship stops for scuba diving in the Caribbean. If you are wondering how to organize a cruise ship scuba diving vacation, you should check out Carnival, Holland America, Regent, Crystal Cruises, Princess or Cayman Island Discounts. Enjoy your travel!

CounterTack Announces Context-Aware Data Loss Prevention for EDR
by GoSecure | Apr 5, 2017
CounterTack Extends its Endpoint Threat Platform functionality to now include DLP for more control over sensitive data, reducing risk at the endpoint
Waltham, MA – CounterTack, the exclusive provider of the industry's one true behavior and memory-based Endpoint Threat Platform (ETP) for the enterprise, today announced the availability of its data loss prevention (DLP) technology. DLP is an extension of CounterTack's next-generation endpoint detection and response (EDR) capabilities providing more advanced detection and risk mitigation, to operationally reduce risk and minimize data loss.
"Enterprise customers are demanding added capability as the market shifts toward consolidated technology and less agent fatigue," said Neal Creighton, CEO CounterTack. "The integration of DLP into our ETP platform is a natural expansion of our offerings, given our rapidly expanding footprint on the endpoint worldwide. With more visibility, more context and more control over sensitive data, CounterTack continues to demonstrate its commitment to innovation, to deliver a fully-integrated and intelligent endpoint security platform."
What makes CounterTack's DLP capability within the ETP platform unique is the ability to extend contextual EDR capabilities to identify sensitive data paths, and to actively inspect content whether at-rest or in motion. The extension from EDR to DLP under one sensor and within the same workflow covers critical use cases for organizations, including protection against risks presented by the insider threat, and data exfiltration.
The new DLP module within CounterTack's ETP platform leverages robust detection capability around highly-sophisticated threats, and extends into real-time, automatic response, giving customers a dynamic preventative control around sensitive data. DLP technology is widely seen as a key technology factoring into the forthcoming GDPR data protection initiative this year, and is not limited to just organizations in the EU, but worldwide.
According to Gartner, "By 2020, 85 percent of organizations will implement at least one form of integrated DLP, up from 50 percent today." (Gartner, Inc., Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Data Loss Prevention, Brian Reed, Deborah Kish, February 16, 2017.)
"The active, contextual inspection of sensitive content and the ability to reduce the risk of data loss helps security teams extend more protection across increasingly volatile endpoint environments," said Doug Cahill, Sr. Analyst, ESG Global. "CounterTack's extension from EDR into DLP for customers is a natural progression within their platform-based approach to endpoint security, and is another proof point that agent consolidation is taking hold. Behavioral analysis at the core gives CounterTack's approach a new twist in identifying sensitive data and minimizing data loss beyond threat detection."
As a global market leader in endpoint security and EDR, CounterTack delivers one endpoint threat platform to enterprise customers that integrates a dynamic portfolio of products including ThreatScan PRO and Responder PRO. With the added layer of DLP capabilities, CounterTack's suite of endpoint detection, analysis and response capabilities is more robust than ever before.

Q: CakePHP - JsonView rendering is sub function of the controller I'm using Cakephp with json parse extension and the RequestHandler component in order to create Web services using json.
I created a controller named Ws
In this controller I have a  named userSubscribe
In order to avoid a lot of If else statements in the next methods, I thought about using a private function inside this controller that will check somes conditions and stop the script normaly BUT ALSO render the json normaly. I just want to do a DRY way !
My question is :
How could I render the json view in a sub function (called by the userSubscribe) ?
To make it clear, here is the style code that would like
public function userSubscribe() {
    $this->check();

    // Following code only executed if check didn't render the json view
    // $data = ...
    $code = 1;
    $i = 2;
}

private function check() {
    $input = &$this->request->data;
    if ($_SERVER["CONTENT_TYPE"] != "application/json") { // For example
        $result = "KO";
        $this->set(compact("result"));
        $this->set('_serialize', 'result');

        $this->render(); // HERE, it will stop the 'normal behaviour' and render the json with _serialize
    }
    if (!isset($input["input"])) {
        $result = "KO";
        $this->set(compact("result"));
        $this->set('_serialize', 'result');

        $this->render(); // HERE, it will stop the 'normal behaviour' and render the json with _serialize
    }
}

It's seems to be quite simple to do, but why can't I find the answer ?!
Thanks in advance for clue/advise/anything !

Snapchat Spectacles 2, Two New Designs for Photo Snapping Glasses Introduced
By Nina Godlewski On 9/5/18 at 11:19 AM EDT
U.S. Snapchat
Snap Inc., the camera company and creator of the social media platform Snapchat released two new designs of its signature Spectacles sunglasses Wednesday. The newly-designed glasses feature an all-black design and new polarized lenses.
The company released Snap Spectacles in 2016, and an updated version of the glasses became available in the spring of this year. The updated version of the glasses released earlier this year, called the Spectacles 2, are water resistant, have smaller frames and better camera and microphone quality. New colors were also introduced with that updated version of the spectacles in April.
Wednesday, Snap announced that in addition to the Original Spectacles 2, there are two new versions of the Spectacles 2, one design is called Nico and the other is called Veronica. Both can take up to 70 videos or hundreds of photos, according to Snap.
Snap Inc., the parent company of Snapchat and Spectacles, released two new designs for the photo and video-snapping glasses September 5. Snap Inc.
The newer glasses look like regular sunglasses you'd find in any clothing or department store. But the new Nico and Veronicas also come with a higher price tag. While the Originals are priced at $149.99, the new glasses are priced at $199.99 and are only available in black instead of a variety of colors like the Originals.
The glasses each come with a protective case, a charging cord and a cloth to clean the lenses. The Originals come with a charging case as well.
In addition to changes to the design of the hardware of the glasses, Snap made changes to the software of the product as well. Now users can export all of the snaps they take on their Spectacles to their camera roll and they can format the videos and photos so that they're square or widescreen instead of circular. The snaps also autosave, which makes it easier for users to keep their 10 or 30-second videos as well as any photos they capture with the glasses.
Snap is also planning to add a feature that makes it easier for those using Spectacles to put the photos and videos they capture into their story highlights.
A limited number of the new glasses were made available in the United States along with other countries like Canada, Great Britain, France and others on Wednesday at Spectacles.com. In the coming months, the glasses will also be available for purchase in Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus stories in the United States, according to Snap.

Are you using your mouthwash wrong?
One of those items is the mouthwash. You will be surprised to know how many patients come to the clinic and state that they don't use mouthwash at all. One of the reasons is that they are just too lazy or it is too expensive for them. Well, if money is a concern to buy mouthwash, maybe you should check out the prices in the pharmacies in Los Algodones. They have excellent offers in several products like toothbrush, dental floss and of course, mouthwash.
Mouth wash is not a useless ally to have in your bathroom next to your toothbrush. It is not a thing that you use before dates or special occasions. Mouth wash is an item that you should use daily, you don't want to spend a day without using it, just like brushing. That means that using mouthwash at least twice a day will improve your dental health by a lot.
Keep in mind that it is best for you if you use your mouthwash after brushing and flossing your teeth. Just put a little cup in your mouth and rinse. Remember to spit it out after 30 seconds or so of rinsing. Drink it doesn't do any harm but it can give you a stomachache.
Many patients also ask me about what kind of mouth wash is the best. Personally I suggest that you get one with the ADA Seal of Approval. This seals means a lot for dentists because it means top quality. I also recommend antiseptic mouthwash, because that way you will be getting rid of all the bacteria that can ruin your smile.
As I was saying above, mouthwash does not just give a minty fresh breath. It does a lot more than just that. Antiseptic mouthwash kills bacteria in the mouth, giving you protection against foul breath, dental caries and gingivitis. Some mouth wash comes with fluoride, which strengthen the teeth and makes them more resistant to diseases.
Other patients have asked me about homemade mouth wash. I say no, don't do it. In my experience, those are no effective at all and it doesn't compete with a mouth wash made by a good company. Remember that those companies invest tons of money on research and development to have an edge in the market. You can't compare a little water and salt to fluoride and other chemicals designed to clean your mouth and teeth.
On the same note, recent reports pointed out that you should avoid mouth wash with alcohol. They tend to dry your mouth and in the long run it affects your teeth. Many companies are aware of this and if you read the ingredients on the sticker of a mouthwash you will see that alcohol is missing. Another thing you can notice is in the front sticker they usually have a space dedicated for saying that the product has no alcohol.

Romancing SaGa 3's Director Akitoshi Kawazu Asks Fans to be Patient as Remaster Gets Delayed
NewsXbox OnePS4SwitchPC
Iyane Agossah
Romancing SaGa 3 HD Remaster won't be launching in early 2019 anymore, but the game is still coming soon.
Today on a live stream dedicated to the SaGa RPG series and its new mobile game Romancing SaGa Re;univerSe, Square Enix announced that the HD remastered version of Romancing SaGa 3 has been delayed. While the remaster, which should come to all platforms, had no precise release date, it was supposed to launch in "early 2019".
Romancing Saga Re;univerSe Announced, Romancing SaGa 3 Remaster Detailed
On the stream, SaGa series's Director Akitoshi Kawazu mentioned that they're trying to make the remaster as great as possible, and require a bit more time to reach this goal.
SaGa series' Producer Masanori Ichikawa added that the game's development is nearly complete but they want to make it as perfect as possible and raise the quality even more. Director Kawazu also said that they're meticulously dissecting the original Super Famicom game while making many adjustments to the remaster, which takes a lot of time. He also indicated that Romancing SaGa 3 Remaster's development never stopped since the game's announcement in 2017, and it did not slow down because of Romancing SaGa Re:univerSe.
Romancing SaGa 3 Getting a Remastered Release on PlayStation Vita and Smartphones
ロマサガ3はファンの皆さんには更なる忍耐をお願いする事になってしまいました。開発陣はベストを尽くしていますので、もうしばらくお待ちください。よろしくお願いします。 https://t.co/9br1MQbJML
— 河津秋敏 (@SaGa25kawazu) March 5, 2019
Once the stream ended, Akitoshi Kawazu also posted a message on Twitter, asking Romancing SaGa 3 fans to be patient, that the development team is trying their best, and that the game will be ready soon.
As multiple talented and veteran game creators left Square and now Square Enix over the years, SaGa's Akitoshi Kawazu is one of the only veterans developers left at Square Enix, working for the company since before the very first Final Fantasy game launched. History always only remembers Hironobu Sakaguchi, but Akitoshi Kawazu greatly contributed to the Final Fantasy series as well.
Romancing SaGa 3′s Remaster's intro was already briefly shown during a marathon stream last Christmas featuring the Virtual Console version of the original Snes game. During the stream today, they showed more of the game's intro in its current build. You can check it out below at the 14:45 mark.
Romancing SaGa Re:univerSe is available now in Japan on iOS and Android.
Romancing SaGa 3 's HD remaster is scheduled for release in 2019 on PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PS Vita, iOS and Android. A western release was previously announced too, but we don't know yet if it'll make it to all these platforms, the Vita especially.

Information on How Brilliant Low Voltage Lighting Should be?
Must Outdoor Lighting Gleam or Simply Offer Contrasting Vivid and Darkish Areas?
Definitely one higher wattage light will oftentimes illuminate an the entire shade tree, yet this may very well come at an expense. A tree utilizing just just one spot is usually put far away in order to illuminate the full tree. This creates a glowing impact where the light is practically continuous all through this tree. Using one particular light also makes a two dimensional feel. A look of the tree from the avenue can look nice although the sight coming from the your house looks dim.
A similar example of a pine tree lit up with the help of 2-3 smaller wattage lamps offers a dramatically distinct result. Landscape illumination placed at just the bottom part of the actual tree skims the exterior while the light climbs up. This generates different light as well as darker pieces through the entire tree. The tree also turns out to be 3 dimensional offering fantastic sights from virtually everywhere on the residence. A even more well known situation to help reflect the idea is precisely how some skilled photographers make use of light. They usually have got 2 or three strategically set lights in place of one particular extremely shiny source.
The Way Budget Allotment Determines the Exact Brightness of a System?
Using a very shoestring budget – a decision has to be made . Do we prefer a minimum of one light fixture in all places, or perhaps are we more concerned about how the light will be thrown? A theory would be to put the highest wattage in just about every fixture and thus minimize expenses by simply reducing the total number of fixtures. Another approach could be to illuminate far less spaces, but the places that are lit should have the ideal number of fixtures combined with the ideal amount of illumination. Often a good solid plan with smoother lights requires far more fixtures compared to a system implementing bright lights.
Ideally a budget which enables the designer to correctly light a property accomplishes a completely distinct look. This doesn't mean some sort of light on everything. It purely suggests that whatever is lighted is going to look very good. By way of example, a professional considering only using 3 light fixtures on a group of three pines would most likely utilize all 3 on one pine. To an educated eye this seems a ton nicer when compared with a single fixture on all of the 3 pine trees. Average and excellent examples of Salt Lake City Utah lighting systems can be observed almost across the street from the other inside wealthier locations of Highland, Alpine, and also Bountiful Utah.

OK... so now you know what vegans don't eat: animals or animal products.
Let's talk about what vegans do eat. This post will give you a starting point to get you by until you determine how far you want to go with this, until you develop your own routine, and until I can post and give you lots more suggestions on great healthy ways to fill up your diet.
So, let's assume that eggs, dairy, fish, meat, and poultry are all gone, and you are facing a whole new adventure in eating. And, let's also assume you are looking for satisfying, tasty food as well as food that will meet your nutritional needs. First, I think it's much easier to think of yourself as a plant eater. Vegan has so many connotations, including causes you support, moral decisions you make, etc.; whereas, plant eater describes what you do.
In either case, know that you are headed for great good health. If you have any doubt about that, just think of some of the strongest, healthiest animals (gorillas, elephants, giraffes, etc.). They are plant eaters. If plants can sustain them, they certainly can sustain little ol' you and little ol' me.
The simple answer is...fruit, vegetables, legumes, nuts and seeds, and whole grains. There are plenty of processed foods that are considered vegan, too; and you can continue, if you choose, to sustain yourself on those (we'll look at some of those products in later posts). However, you have a wonderful opportunity here to make a change that will transform your health, energy level and longevity by eliminating as many of the processed foods as possible.
For purposes of this post, I'm going to tell you what foods I eat. There are excellent books out there by experts that spell out examples of healthy diets. I'll put a list of some of my favorites at the end of this post. They all have recipes as well as general nutrition information, so you'll learn ways to cook for your new way of eating.
I eat about 6 servings of vegetables per day. Many vegetables can be eaten in any quantity you want such as lettuce, greens (spinach, kale, arugula, etc.), celery, cucumber, cruciferous vegetables (cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli, etc.) The more colorful the vegetables the richer they are in nutrients. They all have many benefits and provide for prevention from cancer, heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. Wait until you start reading more and more about this. You will be amazed at what plants can do.
Starchy vegetables, such as white potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, etc., should not be eliminated from your daily diet just because you've always been told that they are fattening. It's the condiments, sour cream, butter, cheese that we put over them that make them so fattening. I eat them daily.
Beans of all sorts are a great source of protein and of fiber. Fiber fills you up, so don't miss out on a daily dose of legumes of some sort. That could be beans, peas, black-eyed peas, chic peas, lentils, etc. I often put them on salads instead of dressing. I eat a cup of beans daily.
Nuts and seeds contribute to fat in your diet, and I don't mean that in a bad way. Sprinkle some in your diet, but don't overdo. Be cautious. I eat a tablespoon of ground flax seeds daily. That provides omega-3. And I eat a handful of walnuts or other nuts if I'm out of walnuts.
I eat no more than 2 servings of grain daily. Through my reading I've learned that whole grain breads are the best if you are going to eat bread. Other sources of grains include oatmeal, quinoa, millet, barley, etc. Grains are rich in fiber and fill you up. Be sure to avoid refined grains, however, as they are mostly stripped of nutritional value. Oatmeal is my grain for the day.
This is a lot of food for you to enjoy. If you're like me, you might see this list and feel overwhelmed. At first, I saw it as piles of specific foods in my mind but couldn't see a meal. It's time to be inventive. Over time, I have devised some go-to meals and you will too.
With this plan, I stay full, and feel great. I also use Dr. Greger's Daily Dozen app to remind myself to eat a well-rounded variety of food. It helps me make sure I get enough protein, calcium, and vitamins daily. The only supplements I take are B-12 and Vitamin D. I'm not saying you should do what I do. You will need to devise your own daily eating routine that works for you. I just give you this by way of example.
Here are a couple suggestions for books that will probably be helpful to you. They are all packed with information and with recipes.

We accept referrals from the Republic of Ireland and families are offered appointments at our London base. However, we also work with local professionals to support families closer to home. This can sometimes include attending meetings in Ireland with families and local professionals.
Funding can be sought via the Health Service Executive's Treatment Abroad Scheme. We are unable to make applications for funding ourselves as these have to come from the referring clinician.
We strongly encourage referrers to arrange for funding as soon as possible. This helps avoid delays in the young person accessing our service.
Please contact us if you would like to discuss making a referral, or arranging funding.
We see a very small number of children and young people who live in other countries.
If your referral comes from overseas we will first need to establish funding confirmation before we are able to offer an appointment. We are normally unable to make applications for funding ourselves as these usually have to come from the referring clinician.
For referrals from countries within the European Union, you may be able to apply for funding (Form S2 – previously E112) from the local health service or insurance scheme. The European Commission website provides further details about the Right to Planned Treatment Abroad, including links to national contact points in each Member State.
We would strongly encourage referrers to apply for funding as soon as possible in order to avoid delays in the young person accessing our service. Please contact us if you would like to discuss this process with us.


When Should I Buy Google Stock?
Subject: When Should I Buy Google Stock?
Reports that came out yesterday (Wednesday) revealed that Google is planning to team up with Sprint Corp. (NYSE: S) and T-Mobile U.S. Inc. (NYSE: TMUS) to provide wireless service plans, challenging incumbent carriers like Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE: VZ) and AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T).
Money Morning Technical Trading Specialist D.R. Barton told viewers today (Thursday) on FOX Business' "Varney & Co." this will provide a terrific opportunity for Google to move into a new line of business. But, at the moment, there are some headwinds for the company as it faces anti-trust roadblocks in Europe. Barton isn't buying…yet.
Barton is, however, a long-term bull on the company. To see where his entry point is on Google stock, check out his appearance below.

Cobbs Creek: Park Benefits Neighborhood Community
May 6, 2013 Cobbs Creek, Environment, West Philadelphia 0
Increased funding and community support helped bring Cobbs Creek Park back from decay.
Cobbs Creek Park runs along the course of Cobbs Creek, which bounds West Philadelphia from Delaware County. Along 63rd Street, which becomes Cobbs Creek Parkway in the Cobbs Creek neighborhood, the park homes several recreation facilities including several basketball and tennis courts, playground facilities and the Laura Sims Skate House.
James Stone of nearby Landsdowne, Pa. uses the park often and said that he believes the park provides many benefits to himself and the community. "It's clean and well-kept," said Stone. "It's an added benefit to have a park like this in our neighborhood so I like to take advantage of it and reap the benefits of having a park in our community."
According to Judge Jimmie Moore, the CEO of the Cobbs Creek Community Environmental Education Center, the park sits on about 126 acres of land in the Cobbs Creek Watershed.
Moore also said that he believes the park is important because it stimulates interest in nature and allows for families and communities to come together recreationally. "It has a way of unifying communities, it has a way of strengthening families and it has a way of allowing young folks to begin appreciating the natural habitat."
Despite this, Moore also said that he does not believe Cobbs Creek residents are adequately using the services of the park. "I think that has more to do with educating and developing programs that will drive more people into the park."
