    ],

**Now here I want to compare incoming password with array of hash passwords **
const ifPrevPass = await Users.findOne({
      _id: req.user._id,
      previousPasswords: body.password,
    });

A: I came up with this solution now its working
async function checkIfPassExists(user, body) {
for (var i = 0; i < user.previousPasswords.length; i++) {
    const resultOfCompa = await bcrypt.compare(
        body.password,
        user.previousPasswords[i]
    );
    if (resultOfCompa) {
        passMatched = true;
    }
}
return passMatched;

}
const ifPrevPass = await checkIfPassExists(user, body);
    if (ifPrevPass) {
      return res.status(400).json({
        status: "error",
        message: "You have already used this password",
      });
    }

Mahabharat is synonymous with the epic battle at Kurukshetra from which only a handful came back alive. But Kurukshetra was just the climax. All through the scripture, the characters are seen playing games with one another. Mind Games. While most mind games were carefully planned, some were unintended, but had same impact as the former. Some realised they were being played, some never realized, and some realized too late. Mind Games in the Mahabharat – Part 1, featured Shakuni and Duryodhan. Part 2 here covers the mind games played by the Pandavs, mainly Krishna:
Krishna with Bheem & Arjun – Jarasandh
The Pandavs had turned Indraprasth into a flourishing kingdom. Under the leadership of Yudhisthir, his brothers Bheem, Arjun, Nakul and Sahadev achieved immense success in expanding their kingdom by either forging alliances or neutralizing hostilities. The endeavours got Indraprasth fame, power and copious amounts of wealth by way of tributes, which made the kingdom thrive further. The citizens were happy and felt safe, the harvests were rich, the granaries were full, markets and trade routes prospered, justice prevailed, and the society was devoid of any form of corruption. Having ticked all the boxes, Yudhisthir contemplated performing the Rajsuya sacrifice. A ritual which, when completed, gave the king a title of an emperor – the highest pedestal among royalty. No Pandav plan was ever executed without inputs and approvals from Krishna and this was no different. Krishna was in favour of Yudhisthir performing the ritual and convinced Yudhisthir that the same should be done without any delay. He, however, highlighted a threat. The king of Magadh, Jarasandh was a powerful and ambitious man. It was because of Jarasandh's relentless attacks on Mathura* that Krishna had moved his kingdom to Dwarka. Krishna said that Jarasandh was by far the biggest and only obstacle in Yudhisthir's coronation as emperor. Known for his super powerful and large army, brute strength, wicked tactics and use of occult sciences, Jarasandh was already planning for a Rajsuya sacrifice. Krishna also stated that it was impossible for the Pandavs to defeat Jarasandh's army in a full-blown war, for the Pandav army was too small in size. Krishna also told Pandavs the story of Jarasandh's birth, which made him mystically powerful. Hearing Krishna, Yudhisthir said that if Jarasandh was such an unconquerable obstacle, it was no point planning for a Rajsuya sacrifice to which his brothers disagreed. They opined that it would be coward and far too below their dignity as warriors to let go of their ambitions without trying. Bheem and Arjun reasoned that it would be an honour to die fighting, instead of sitting back. Krishna had already ruled out an all-out war and instead suggested that Bheem challenge Jarasandh for one to one duel. Only the powerful Bheem could wrestle with Jarasandh and defeat him.
Krishna, Bheem and Arjun disguised as brahmins and reached Magadh. As brahmins, they could ask Jarasandh for anything and being a king of honour, Jarasandh would always grant a brahmin's wish. In the court, Krishna asked Jarasandh to pick any one of them for a one to one duel. Hearing such a strange request from a group of brahmins who usually asked for cattle, land or other help, Jarasandh felt something fishy, but as expected agreed to fulfil the wish. Jarasandh saw the three of them picked the bulky and powerful Bheem for a duel, stating that picking the frail looking Arjun or Krishna would be an insult for a mighty wrestler like him. Shrewd that Jarasandh was, he also realized that the trio were no brahmins but warriors and before the duel, Jarasandh asked the three to identify their true selves. Bheem and Jarasandh pounced at one another like hungry lions. Very strong and highly skilled that they both were, their duel was at a different level. Punches and chops, headbutts and kicks, moves and counter moves, all were on display. Aggressive manoeuvres were dealt with swift tackles. One would pin the other to the ground, only to be responded with a slick move out. After hours of a sweltering, sweaty and bloody duel, Bheem tore open Jarasandh's body, thanks to a timely tip from Krishna. The one and only, seemingly invincible, obstacle in the way of Yudhisthir lay in pieces. Lifeless. Being mindful of Jarasandh's strengths and traits, Krishna laid the trap, baited Jarasandh and had him butchered in his own backyard!
Krishna with Kunti – Karn
Kunti was blessed with a boon to summon any god of her choice and the god would bless her with a son. Curious, Kunti used a boon to invoke the Sun god who appeared and honoured the boon. Since this was before her marriage, Kunti feared difficult questions about the birth of the child and abandoned the new born. The infant was found and raised by foster parents and came to be known as Karn. Having mastered archery, Karn challenged Arjun who was considered the finest archer of the time. Karn's true identity remained unknown to all, including himself. Only Krishna, who was omniscient and Kunti, who was Karn's biological mother knew who he really was. As circumstances and would have it, in spite of being the eldest of the Pandavs, Karn was befriended by Duryodhan, the eldest Kaurav. With the Kauravs and Pandavs being at loggerheads, Karn became the most loyal and trusted friend Duryodhan had. Karn had, over the years, become a party to Duryodhan's misdeeds against the Pandavs. His rivalry with Arjun made him stand by Duryodhan ignoring the righteous calls of his own conscious. As war seemed inevitable, Karn one of the most powerful generals in the Kaurav army going into the battle at Kurukshetra. Karn was the only one who would fight the Pandavs ruthlessly, devoid of any affection for them. Being both capable and willing to single handedly defeat and kill the five Pandavs, Karn was the only real threat to Arjun, who he had vowed to defeat. Aware of Karn's ability as an archer and a divine weapon he had in his quiver, Krishna was worried. He knew Karn had a fair chance of killing Arjun in battle, especially as they were completely oblivious of their true relationship.
When Krishna visited Hastinapur to make the final attempt to de-escalate tensions and restore peace among the clans, Duryodhan insulted him and disagreed to all proposals put forth. That's when Krishna met Karn privately and disclosed his true identity. Krishna's words knocked Karn off his feet and left him aghast. Realizing the fact that he was actually Kunti's son and the eldest of the Pandavs made Karn weep to his fate for all his life he had been ill treated as a low caste. He was left wanting for his real family's love and affection and the privileges that the blue blood brought. The fact that he was to fight his own brothers made him nervous and weak. Karn wailed and stated that it was rather cruel of Krishna to be revealing this to him now, with the battle so close. Krishna told Karn that he would like him to join the Pandavs who would happily accept him as their elder brother. That if Karn sided the Pandavs, Duryodhan would be left alone and there would be no war. That if Karn were to be the king, both the Kauravs and the Pandavs would wholeheartedly accept the win-win proposition. Krishna went on to state that this revelation would end the conflict once and for all, with no innocent lives being lost in war. That if Karn were to lead a kingdom comprising both Kauravs and Pandavs, there would be no other kingdom left in the world. Karn wasn't known for his leadership and Krishna's reasoning and convincing didn't change that. Karn rejected Krishna's offer, stating that the Kauravs and Pandavs had come too far to make peace with each other. Knowing his true identity from Krishna had however left Karn deeply shaken.
Unable to convince Karn himself, Krishna met Kunti and told her that he was fully aware of what had transpired and that he knew Karn was Kunti's son, the eldest. Karn was known to grant people's wishes and had a reputation of never denying anything to anyone who came seeking. Krishna told Kunti that though he was aware of the circumstances that led to what Kunti did a new born Karn, it was time for her to own up her deed and face Karn. He also stated that this was needed for the sake of mankind, for it could save hundreds of thousands of innocent lives from the fury of war. Krishna asked Kunti to meet Karn and convince him to join the Pandav side. That it was the only way to end the impasse and avoid the war. Krishna thought Karn would melt meeting his real mother and that he would live up to his reputation of granting peoples wishes, especially this one given it was coming from Kunti. Kunti did as directed and met Karn. The long-estranged mother and son hugged each other and wept as neither could hold back their emotions. Getting rid of the burden of her deed that she carried for years was too much for Kunti and she couldn't stop her tears. And, feeling the warmth of his mother's love, after years of deprivation, was too much for Karn to remain poised. Kunti felt redeemed as she kissed her son's forehead and Karn felt complete as he touched her feet to seek her blessings. Kunti apologized for having abandoned Karn and blamed herself for the hardships he had to face. Karn, being the large-hearted Karn that the world knew him as, accepted the apology. Kunti then made the same proposals as Krishna did. Karn then told Kunti about the conversation he had with Krishna and stated that he would never leave Duryodhan, even for the sake of heavens, as it was Duryodhan who stood by him when no one else did. Karn went on to say that he regretted not doing what Kunti wanted him to and that he would also not let her go completely disappointed. Karn promised Kunti that he wouldn't kill any of the Pandavs in the war, except Arjun. Karn reasoned that like the two warring sides, he and Arjun too had come too far in their rivalry. In what in the interest of peace at large for Krishna and redemption for Kunti, they ended up saving the other Pandavs from the wrath of Karn. Though unintentionally, Krishna made Karn give it away!
Krishna with Yudhisthir & Arjun – Bhishma
The Kauravs and Pandavs were at war. Kurukshetra witnessed the largest congregation of the most well-equipped armies, led by the finest of warriors and generals of the time. Both sides had organized their forces into battalions, each led by a general. The generals reported to the commander in chief, who was responsible for overall strategy. The commander in chiefs on both sides were appointed by Yudhisthir and Duryodhan and reported directly to them. The Kauravs were led by Bhishma, the great grandfather to the warring cousins and the grand old man of the era. Going into Kurukshetra, there were four important things about Bhishma. One, he was bound by his oath to protect the rulers of Hastinapur, which currently were the Kauravs. However, Bhishma firmly believed that truth and righteousness were on the side of the Pandavs and, much to the dismay of Duryodhan, had bestowed his blessings of victory to Yudhisthir. Two, he was a warrior par excellence, had divine weapons to his disposal, was a master war strategist with immense experience and could single handedly annihilate battalions. Three, to add to his martial skills, he was also blessed with a boon to choose the time of his death which made him almost immortal and a major threat to any enemy. And four, he had decided and made it very clear to Duryodhan before the war that he wouldn't harm or kill any of the five Pandavs at Kurukshetra. Duryodhan was flabbergasted by what Bhishma had to say, for he couldn't imagine having a commander in chief who denies killing the enemy. But, Duryodhan was well aware that his army would never be the losing side so long as Bhishma was at its helm and that the Pandavs would always look at Bhishma in reverence rather than animosity. This made Duryodhan appoint Bhishma as the generalissimo of his forces. As it was already anticipated, Bhishma turned to be a menace for the Pandav forces. From the first bugle call, Bhishma wreaked havoc across the Pandav ranks. Battalion after battalion and general after general faced the wrath of the grand old warrior and none could thwart his forward thrusts. The Pandavs tried every formation, every manoeuvre in the book and Bhishma would run over them like hot knife in butter. The Pandav army was deeply demoralized more than wounded and its size kept reducing by the day. The only topic of contemplation and debate back in the Pandav camp in the evenings was Bhishma and ways to stop him. The think tank was running out of time and ideas to even slow down Bhishma's carnage let alone ending it.
With no solution in sight, Krishna came up with an idea. He asked Yudhisthir and Arjun to meet Bhishma privately and return his blessings for victory that they received at the beginning of the war. Yudhisthir found the idea to be a strange one, challenging its ability to solve their problem. Krishna reasoned that Bhishma, a man of high self-esteem and values, would never take back a blessing he had so wholeheartedly given, especially to the Pandavs. Krishna also warned Yudhisthir that Bhishma would be very curious to know why the Pandavs would return his blessings and advised him to honestly state that with Bhishma around, a Pandav victory was never a possibility and it was pointless keeping a blessing that would never work. Yudhisthir smiled as he understood the plan. Krishna wanted Bhishma to divulge the secret of getting him out of the battle. The duo did as directed by Krishna and came back confused. As Krishna had expected, Bhishma had refused to take his blessings back. Upon hearing Yudhisthir's reasons, Bhishma stated that if he faces a woman in the battlefield, he would lay his weapons down and then, Arjun knew what had to be done. Bhishma's solution had only added to the perplexity in the Pandav camp as the rules of the war didn't allow a woman to enter the battlefield. Again, it was Krishna who understood the message Bhishma had conveyed and asked Arjun to seek help from Shikhandi, who had his own axe to grind*. The next day in the battle, Shikhandi accompanied Arjun on his chariot. To Bhishma, Shikhandi was none other than a woman called Amba. Seeing Shikhandi, Bhishma lowered his weapons which gave Arjun a window to fire a barrage of sharp arrows that pierced through Bhishma's body. Arjun stopped only when he had fully incapacitated Bhishma, now lying on a bed of arrows. Krishna compelled Bhishma to give away a secret. The secret of his own death!
Krishna with Yudhisthir and Bheem – Drona
After Bhishma's exit from battleground Kurukshetra, the Pandavs didn't have a day of respite for Drona succeed as the commander in chief of the Kaurav army. Drona was the guru of the warring cousins. He was entrusted to impart martial skills to the young Kaurav and Pandav princes. It was under his tutelage that Arjun became the finest archer, Duryodhan and Bheem could excel at wielding the mace and Nakul could swing his sword so fast, it could hardly be seen. Drona was the on the Kaurav side in the war for his allegiance to the Hastinapur kingdom. Like Bhishma, Drona too had a soft corner for the Pandavs for he too believed that truth and righteousness was with the Pandavs. However, unlike Bhishma, Drona would've played his role professionally, not letting anything personal come in the way of his duties as the command in chief of his army. He wouldn't have second thoughts before killing or capturing any of the Pandavs. Needless to say, his capabilities on the battlefield were unparalleled both as a warrior and a strategist. Being the guru of martial arts, he had divine weapons at his disposal, knew all battle formations in and out and had years of battle experience behind him. This made Drona more menacing than Bhishma and he lived up to it. Drona would make attempts to capture Yudhisthir which would end the war that very minute resulting in a Kaurav victory. To ensure that didn't happen, the Pandavs had to cordon the central part of their formation where Yudhisthir was positioned by deploying their best warriors. This would leave the other fronts vulnerable and the Kaurav warriors would deplete the weaker flanks of the Pandav army very easily. Drona would often breach Yudhisthir's line of defence only to be blocked by Arjun. The Kauravs deployed tactics to stray Arjun away in battle, so Drona could capture Yudhisthir. The most notable incidence was when Arjun was engaged in a duel on the far end of the battlefield and Drona deployed the Chakravyuh or the concentric formation to capture Yudhisthir. Arjun's son Abhimanyu decided to take on the challenge. The boy was brutally killed by the Kauravs but only after he managed to foil Drona's plan, much like his father would have. When Drona was at the helm of the Kaurav forces, the Pandavs lost many other important generals like Virat, Drupad and Ghatotkach.
Having had enough of Drona and unable to withstand his havoc any longer, Krishna came up with a plan. He decided to make Drona falsely believe that his son Ashwathama was dead, so as to lead him into deep sorrow, making him lay his weapons. Arjun outrightly rejected the idea for he did not wish to use deceit against his guru. Krishna reasoned that when Drona himself was on the wrong side of truth, he saw no wrong in using half-truth to defeat him. Krishna stated that for the right to ultimately prevail, he was happy to let ends justify means. When Arjun was silenced and Yudhisthir tacitly agreed to the plan, Krishna asked Bheem to slay a war elephant named Ashwathama. Bheem hurled his powerful mace towards the elephant, killing it. Bheem then went to Drona and jubilantly claimed to have killed Ashwathama. Bheem's boastful chest thumping made Drona believe his son was dead. To verify the fact, Drona came to Yudhisthir, asking if his son Ashwathama was indeed killed in battle. Known to be truthful under all circumstances, Yudhisthir said that Ashwathama was indeed killed, but he wasn't sure if it was a human or an elephant. Knowing Yudhisthir would say the truth, Krishna was ready and blew his conch as soon as Yudhisthir uttered the first sentence. The deafening sound of Krishna's conch ensured Drona couldn't hear the second sentence and drifted in deep grief. Loosing his son was too much for Drona to handle as he dropped his weapons, removed his armour and sat on the ground with his eyes shut, holding his breath to death. Seeing Drona in that state, Dhrishtadyumna beheaded him with a slick swing of his sword, for he had his own score to settle*. Krishna's half-truth did to Drona what no weapon or warrior could!
Shalya – Karn
Shalya, the king of Madra and uncle to youngest Pandav twins Nakul and Sahadev was tricked by Duryodhan and was obliged to fight for the Kauravs in a last-minute switch. Duryodhan's move was a good blow to the Pandavs as they lost an a fine general in Shalya, who with his army was now fighting against them. When Duryodhan offered to appoint Shalya as the commander in chief of the Kaurav army, Shalya humbly denied the position, stating he couldn't take up the role with generals like Bhishma and Drona around. The Karn-Arjun duel was going to be one of the most anticipated and high voltage encounters of the war. Both had trained under great gurus, both had proven their mastery in archery, both had notable bows and quivers full of divine and powerful arrows. The equation had matched in all areas except one. Arjun had none other than Krishna steering his chariot*. Karn was looking at someone as deft, experienced and wise who he could rely on like Arjun would rely on Krishna. Now that Shalya was on the Kaurav side, Karn made the most of the opportunity and requested Shalya to be his charioteer. Karn's request wasn't out of thin air. Shalya's lineage had something in their genes that made them fine equestrians. They had a reputation of being great charioteers and horsemen. The skill was passed on to his nephew Nakul, who was the finest warrior on a horseback in his generation. Karn thought he wouldn't find anyone better than Shalya to hold the reins of the stallions that drove his chariot in Kurukshetra. Tricked and devoid of any choices, Shalya agreed to a grateful Karn. Having pulled a fast one, the Kauravs couldn't ask for a better start to the war.
Although now on the Kaurav side, Shalya wanted to do something for the Pandavs. Knowing it would be treason to do so, Shalya didn't care having been deceived. He wanted to give it back to the Kauravs. And he did. He did so by doing exactly the opposite of what Karn wanted his charioteer to do. When Karn became the commander in chief of the Kaurav army, as Karn's charioteer, Shalya used his words to demoralize him. There wouldn't be a conversation between the two without Shalya talking about how righteousness was on the Pandav side and that truth always prevails in the end. Shalya would remind Karn of how Kauravs had been unjust to the Pandavs and that the war they were witnessing was nothing but a means to get all culprits to the book. Shalya would repeatedly praise the Pandavs and how great warriors the likes of Bheem and Arjun were. He would shower praises on Krishna for ensuring invincibles like Bhishma and Drona were out of their way and would confidently state that with Krishna around, no threat to the Pandavs would survive too long. Karn would silently listen to what Shalya had to say. When Karn discussed aggressive battle formations and tactics, Shalya would laugh them off stating that instead of trying to defeat the Pandavs, which Karn wasn't capable of, he should rather focus on saving himself and delay the Kaurav defeat. Shalya would reiterate these things time and again to ensure Karn lost his confidence and focus. Things didn't stop here. When it came to duels with Arjun, Shalya would be at his caustic best. Shalya would generally ask Karn if he was scared of Arjun and if he was ready to face Arjun's wrath. Shalya once said that whenever he spotted an adversary as powerful as Arjun in the battlefield, his instincts as a charioteer would always find routes to flee from the scene. When reprimanded by Karn for thinking so, Shalya justified it saying it was his job to ensure Karn's safety. Shalya would remind Karn of Arjun's superiority as an archer, his stock of divine weapons and his fearlessness which matched that of the gods. When Karn would argue that he was no less, Shalya would get to Karn's past. He would remind Karn how Indra had already taken away his divine armour* and that the thunderbolt he got in return was a thing of the past, having used it to kill Ghatotkach. Getting even more personal, Shalya also reminded Karn about the curses he got from his guru and a brahmin and how they're going to add to his misery in the battlefield. Shalya would constantly try and give Karn a feeling that his defeat at the hands of Arjun was nothing but a certainty and all he should do is brace for the same and put up a brave face. While Shalya's army fought for Duryodhan, his words were doing their best for the Pandavs. While Shalya's words couldn't weaken Karn's resolve to fight bravely, they definitely ensured Karn's confidence didn't grow. A fine general like Shalya knew confidence played a bigger role than determination and capability and that's what he ensured eluded Karn. Karn as at the receiving end of Shalya's sarcasm, pointed remarks, mocking and ridiculing which ended up being more effective than his weapons could ever be. Karn was paying the price of Duryodhan's deceit with Shalya – who knew revenge was best served cold!

Playa del Carmen and Cancun are two major tourist destinations in the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico. Located on the east side, these two cities are both in the state of Quinatana Roo, and a part of the Riviera Maya. When comparing Playa del Carmen vs. Cancún, there are many things to consider. Perhaps the most important question in choosing your vacation spot is what you are looking for. Neither Cancún nor Playa del Carmen is better or worse. It all depends on what you want in a vacation.
First, Playa del Carmen and Cancún are simply different places. The population of Cancún is about 725,000, while Playa del Carmen comes in at about 175,000. Cancún has been a hot spot and growing since the 1980's, while Playa del Carmen's growth has been much more recent, beginning in the late 90's and booming in the early 2000's.
Because these are two different places, you'll find different food, activities, people, and general energies. Although Cancún is often thought of as a party spot, there is a lot more to do there than you may think. On the other hand, Playa del Carmen is much quieter and calmer than Cancún. Less of a city, Playa is just beginning to become the hot tourist destination that can be found in Cancún. Both places make our list of the best places to visit in Mexico, but let's look at the differences between Playa del Carmen and Cancún.
Cancún is known as a popular party destination. When looking at Playa del Carmen vs. Cancún, this is a great place to start. Cancún certainly has a bigger nightlife scene, as it is a bigger city with a more established community of partygoers. If you are looking to party all day and night and go hard, Cancún certainly has the hot places to be and things to do.
However, because of the recent growth of tourism in Playa del Carmen, there's a pretty solid club scene. Especially in the tourist neighborhoods of the city, you can find clubs open all night, music bumping, and people out enjoying the warm evenings. You won't find quite the scene that may be found in Cancún, but you certainly won't be bored at night in Playa.
If you are looking specifically to go to Mexico to party, Cancún definitely wins in this category. If you want to have some fun but want a mellower party scene, try spending a few days in Playa del Carmen.
Both Cancún and Playa del Carmen have areas of town dedicated to shopping. In Playa del Carmen, you will find the hot tourist street of 5th Avenue. If you're in town, you absolutely have to visit this area of town. It's one of the best things to do in Playa del Carmen, and you probably won't be able to avoid the street if you try.
In Cancún, you can find La Isla, a fairly large shopping center in town. It's much bigger than 5th Avenue, and you will find more chain stores and name brands. The shopping in Cancún is simply different. You can't really compare it cleanly and talk about the shopping in Cancún vs. Playa del Carmen. While Cancún has many more options and much bigger malls with designers and name brands, Playa del Carmen offers a mellower shopping experience with more local artists and authentic goods from Mexico.
In either of these cities, the beaches are a huge factor. On the Caribbean waters, these beaches offer beautiful white sand, incredible weather, and some of the best snorkeling in Mexico. Some of the best beaches in Cancún are super crowded. Other beaches, like Playa Delfines, are a bit quieter. If you're in Cancún or just outside of town, you're likely to find beaches packed with tourists, locals, or both. The photos can be overwhelming, but it really isn't as bad as it seems. When you're there and in your zone, the people around you are the least of your concern.
Playa del Carmen likewise has a few pretty busy beaches. The main beach in town is often scattered with tourists, locals, and vendors. It definitely is not a quiet beach. However, it is easier to hop out of town and find a quiet beach near Playa del Carmen. You can head down to Playacar, up to Puerto Morelos, or all the way down to Akumal for some real peace and quiet. If you simply walk away from the center of town in Playa, you can find a quiet spot on the beach. You can also take the ferry over to the island of Cozumel, where there are more activities like water parks, wave runners, and more! Check out our post at https://therivieramaya.org/playa-del-carmen-beaches/ to learn about some of our favorite beaches in Playa del Carmen.
Comparing the beaches in Playa del Carmen and Cancún, we have to give the cake to Playa del Carmen. However, it's important to note that the beaches in Cancún are still awesome!
One place you'll see a big difference when comparing Playa del Carmen vs. Cancún is the food. If you want to eat American food or at chain restaurants, you'll have to go to Cancún. Because Cancún is so big, you'll find almost anything you're looking for. Whether you want an American chain restaurant, a fine French dinner, or premier Italian coffee, you will absolutely be able to find it in Cancún. As a huge tourist hot spot, restaurants and businesses are catering to their international visitors. The food in Cancún is cheaper than you're likely to find in many cities in the United States, but it definitely is one of the more expensive places in Mexico.
Playa del Carmen has grown rapidly, and seen a huge increase in international settlers. You will likewise find a wonderful French bakery, delicious Italian restaurants, and more international food. However, Playa offers many more opportunities for cheap, authentic, and/or street meals. The cost of food in Playa is noticeably less than Cancún, and you can find local food much more easily. Playa del Carmen is smaller, and a walk for a few blocks out of the center of town will lead you to some local food spots.
This is not an easy call to make, as everyone wants something different. If you're looking to eat real Mexican food and fresh fish, Playa may be best. If you want the comfort of the food you know at home, Cancún will definitely provide better.
An important thing to know before going to Cancún or Playa del Carmen is that these are two completely different places. Playa is bustling and up and coming, but it's much more of an artsy and eco-friendly crowd. Although there are clubs and bars open all night, the overall vibe in Playa del Carmen is signficantly more relaxed than you'll find in Cancún. This doesn't mean it is boring, but you are definitely going to be moving a bit slower in Playa than Cancún.
Cancún, on the other hand, is a major city. Although it's known as a spring break spot, there are many things to do in Cancún other than partying. Playa feels like an up and coming little city, while Cancún feels more like an established tourist destination. This doesn't make one place better than the other, but does mean that you should probably go on vacation where you are going to find the community and environment you're looking for!

Not all of the facts are known just yet but everyone seems to be weighing in with their two cents on the release of Bowe Berghdal and whether he's a traitor or not. I have some questions to ask. What would cause a soldier to desert? If they knew he had left his post in the past, what were the specifics of those incidents? Why was he not returned home or discharged? What was happening there in Afghanistan with American troop presence occupying and fighting "Taliban" and/or insurgents?
Next question I need answers to is the condition of this American soldier since his capture and imprisonment (for let's all say it together) FIVE (5) years in the custody of the Taliban? With the President announcing that the war would be over and troops pulled out of Afghanistan how would that news impact Berghdal's well being in the custody of the Taliban?
I've heard some statements from service men talking about oaths taken and broken by this man to the military and his military brethren. I'll lean on the bible with reference to oaths in which it says we are to swear no oath at all. Simply let one's answer be Yes or No.
I'll ask if one's belief is that the cause one thought he/she was fighting for turned out not to be what he/she was led to believe it was about in fact and one had "sworn" an oath does that mean one can't change their mind and decide to no longer fight for something they no longer believe in?
Perhaps we should all reserve judgment until we know all the facts in this story.
I call today's post episode 2.5 due to the fact that I'm 2.5 days into serving jury duty and am actually pleased with the way it's been working out thus far.
Initially, like most people when I saw the summons for last Friday, I was like oh crap!!! Not being too much a morning person, the idea that I'd have to actually get up and go early during rush hour to court was not my idea of a fun or an ideal situation, especially with how jury duty has worked out for me in the past.
I never forgot those long days of just sitting there waiting to hear your name called from among the pool of people there. Well as a law-abiding citizen I answered my summons and went. Day 1 ( yesterday) started out in typical fashion. I arrive at the courthouse, go through metal detection, and then have to surrender my camera to the police officer until the end of the day.
You would have thought this cop had never seen a camera before the way he gushed over it. Every other word out his mouth was an"Oh boy!" and "let me give you a receipt, I know you don't wanna forget this". It was almost to the point where I looked at him sideways like is he planning on jacking my shiznit? You best believe I scrutinized the receipt carefully for any errors in the description written on the receipt before proceeding to the jury room.
I sit for several hours before my name is called. Lucky day!!! Once inside the room that myself and several others were summoned to, a court employee in charge of gathering jury pools told us that sometimes they have cases that get done in a single day. I found that hard to believe.
I smiled at the thought of serving one day and being done with service for several more years…perfect! Well, due to the fact that several hours passed since the typical 9am start time, we were told that we would have to come back the following morning for the case to start.
Whoo hoo!!! since we weren't going to be utilized that day we were free to go for the rest of the day. I wanted to give that court employee a high-five!! Before Stephen A. Smith could say "quick, fast, and in a hurry", I was gone.
That ladies and gentlemen is what you call the Get Away.
Day 2 began with me rushing with rush hour's masses from the bus to the train which was packed full of the typical selfish idiots who don't move all the way into the train cars but block the doors.
I managed to squeeze into an express train just in time to see the hapless people oblivious to what rush hour means, standing on the escalators blocking both sides, appearing with sad faces as the doors closed behind those of us who rushed up the stairs to catch the train.
For some reason today the trains weren't moving quite the way I'd have liked especially for rush hour on an express train but I managed to make it to the courthouse a few minutes after the 8:50am call time.
Arriving for duty your honor and ready to give evidence!!…evidence.
Today I decided to leave the camera at home and once inside the court and in the room we were to gather we were greeted by the same court employee from the day before who then proceeded to tell us that the case wasn't ready for today and would start tomorrow.
Ladies and Gentleman, there is a God!!! God worked it out so good that we were given two options. Option A) stay with the rest of the jury pool for the day where we might be placed on another case. Or Option B) Leave for the day with full attendance credit and return same time tomorrow for this one day trial. Oh I almost forgot with the option of staying you could also end up still having to come back the following day anyway.
You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know which option I selected. Attendance was taken and those of us who elected to leave for the day were gone.
I find it amazing how fast and important social networking has become. I remember as a high school kid one Social Studies teacher I had, telling our class that the future was in networking. He went on to say, basically, when you get to college make as many friends as you can especially affluent ones. This being due to it's more a matter of who you know, not what you know.
I thought that a strange saying back then, but came to realize the truth in his statement. Today's world consists of a new "smart phone", apps for just about anything, Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr and on and on to connect people all around the world.
What I see, is when ever one needs to get something done it's rare that things get done without the aid of others. This is true whether it's in getting a new job, finding a great airline hookup, for free upgrades and/or flights, or a bartender who comps a few rounds, or a door man at a club, or a real estate agent to find you the best available apt at a bargain. Social networking is the wave of the future and it's for that reason that I find it also a dangerous tool.
Aside from the fact that keeping up with so many "friends" be it on Facebook or Twitter or any other major social networking site, can feel like a 2nd or 3rd job. Personally, I find it essential, not to be so plugged in to everything trying to keep up with so much information going on. I'm also in favor of advocating decompression breaks at work where cell phone and computer use stops completely for an hour to allow one to relax and unplug for a bit from this crazy world we live in.
The dangerous aspect of social networking today is that it's so instantaneous, one is capable of defamation for potentially hundreds of millions of people to see online immediately. Or one's entire personal history, information, & contacts grouped, arranged, then studied and monitored far more easily. This is because the user of social network sites volunteers the info that is then collected and saved about them, their family and friends.
In my opinion it's too much information to be floating around unprotected. Privacy is the underlying issue. However, for those who don't find it a problem to have all their business exposed, that doesn't mean that the rest of society feels that way or should tolerate their right to privacy being discarded or treated as some old rag. Eric Snowden's exposure of this helps cement a healthy distrust of government in conjunction with the war on our civil liberties.
I'm in no way advocating completely severing all networking ties but being vigilant in what one uploads socially. Clearly, today's world says once it's out there, it's out there, fair game. By the way the protections built into the laws that allow corporations such as the telephone companies and internet service providers to violate personal privacy with no liability are nothing to laugh at either. In effect one has no legal remedy to the overt and blatant trampling of their rights.
Subpoena or no, intrusions into the private lives of citizens will not make any one of us safer from terrorism. This is a tactic to distract the public at large from the real issue, & gain support from the people to voluntarily submit themselves to total control and oppression if not suppression of life.
We have to really remind ourselves of the fact that most people wouldn't be aware of the governments spying scandal if an insider (and now notorious) whistle-blower Eric Snowden hadn't exposed it. For his bravery he's now being persecuted and labeled in mass media pretty much as an "enemy of the state". Why does the main stream media not keep the story focused on the content of his release versus the government's pursuit of him?
Rationally thinking I have to conclude that it's because he was working for them and violated the very trust they had placed in him that we the people are to misguidedly place in our "elected" officials in government making decisions that directly affect the lives of us the citizenry it's supposed to serve and protect. Which leads me to my next point.
I wonder if it's just me or whether anyone else has thought about how social networking has changed us as a society from the standpoint that now some of us think we're actually closer to people when right next to one another with the aid of an electronic device in our hands texting one another back and forth versus an audible real life conversation?
I'm not saying it's not without some really cool and/or beneficial uses but it's seemingly replaced the traditional sit down and honest talk of years past. I suppose the logical explanation for this new trend in social interaction is the fact that one can see what it is one is about to say to someone else and decide if what they communicate comes across the way intended.
It also gives one the opportunity to analyze what another party is communicating before giving an answer. Typically I find cell phones & tablets are a social prop much like a mask that one can hide behind instead of looking the person in the eye while talking face to face.
Expressions, and body language do speak volumes. Thinking about all of that under a microscope without one's personal permission, arbitrarily at the disposal of elites & the military industrial complex is a heinous and frightening idea.

Many athletes ask how to improve their mental game so they can perform at their peak in competition.
When you have the talent… And you put in the work… And you want to win or succeed, but are not… Your mental game is holding you back.
Can you relate to this athlete?
Do you get close to winning, achieving a personal best or beating a rival but just fall short?
If that is the case, an improved mental game is just what you need to take your game to the next level.
An improved mental game is just what Philadelphia Flyer goaltender Carter Hart is working to develop to showcase his skills at the NHL level.
Hart's achievements at the junior level have been extraordinary with a 116-46-19 record, 2.01 goals-against average, .927 save percentage and 26 shutouts.
Not only did Hart have impressive stats in juniors, he is the only player ever to win the CHL Goaltender of the Year Award twice.
Hart, 20-years old, has been working with a sports psychologist since he was 10 and credits his mental skills for his success.
Despite a successful junior career, performing at the next level in the pros has been challenging for Hart.
Hart was pulled in his second professional start after giving up four goals on just 16 shots.
In Hart's first seven starts, he allowed 23 goals on a .883 save percentage.
Carter continues to work on mental skills EVERY day, knowing that this mental edge will help him be successful at the next level.
Every athlete is in agreement that an improved mental game is the much needed edge to get to the next level but it takes work.
Hart provides a roadmap for how to improve your mental game… elicit the expertise from a mental game coach and work every day to hone your mental skills.
Start by understanding what mental skills you are missing: confidence, focus, composure, trust in your skills, consistent routines, etc.
Decide what mental skills you want to improve that will impact your performance.
How to focus on the process.
Enhance trust in your skills.
These four mental skills cover a lot of ground with my athletes. If you're interested in our mental coaching programs, schedule a 15-minute introductory session.
Or visit our proshop for our self-study mental training programs.
If you're a top performer during practice but find yourself under-performing in competition, the most likely culprit holding you back is your mental game. In fact, many athletes struggle with the same problem….

Q: Disable SMB sharing for specific NIC on server 2012 I have 2 servers running windows 2012 R2, one of them is SMB server and the other is iSCSI server, and the clients are using Win7 x64.
Now I want to separate networks between iSCSI and SMB using 2 NICs on client and server. In order to do this, I need to disable SMB on internal NIC of SMB server and leave the external NIC SMB feature enabled.
But I'm having trouble disabling SMB sharing for specific NIC on server 2012 R2
Unchecking file and printer sharing doesn't have any effect.
Is there any other way to do this?
NB: I read about SMB Multichannel but, the problem is, my clients' spec doesn't seem to be compatible with Win10..Its very laggy compared to Win7

A: It's a bad idea to use dedicated cabling (+non-redundnant in your case!) for SMB and iSCSI traffic. It would be much better idea to chunk physical LANs with VLANs, configure QoS and give both SMB and iSCSI at least two VLANs: for performance and fault-tolerance.

of sight I started walking to the wooden roll-in section. 'This isn't too bad', I say to myself. As I clear my mind and focus on the rocks I had to dodge, I push off the 2x4 bannister and picked a line that seemed to be smooth. I fan through the first berm like the wind. A few people let out a shout as dust kicks up off the second berm. Same thing, not enough speed to hit the jump, i'll just have to roll it.
As I pump over the two rollers that are supposed to be a double, I instantly gain speed. The ground is thick with dust so I go high on berms so I don't slow down. bingo! I made through those two berms, but the rocks instanly slow me down. I push a couple times to get over a roller which swoops down into a big wall-riding berm.
This berm shoots you straight into a double, then into another berm, my legs are dead, I go over the roller and stop.

Campaign for the A-Class: Ready for a new generation.
Dynamic and urban: the campaign to mark its launch presents the new generation of the A-Class as the perfect companion in everyday life.
Grand entrance of the perfect companion.
Aimed at a young, modern target group, it will present the vehicle as the perfect companion in everyday life. The message is: the new generation of the A-Class offers its occupants even more comfort than before while remaining as dynamic as ever.
Graphic lines and clear contours.
The various themes of the print advertisements present the A-Class in a richly contrasting urban setting. Daylight produces graphic lines and clear contours within a modern architecture. Yellow lane markings give an air of dynamism, passers-by in the background provide an added source of emotion, colour and vitality.
Shadows merge vehicle and ground into a single entity, giving the A-Class a confident, solid poise.
The TV commercial, too, will show the dynamic temperament of the new generation of the A-Class. The protagonist in the spot experiences different adventures that he triggers and influences through the configuration of his vehicle. The variation of the colour transitions creates a fantastical journey from one world to another.
The film is terminated by a sudden stop. The protagonist's girlfriend takes over the configuration and is herself immersed in another world.

Pro-Taliban Politician And Pakistan Senate's Deputy Chairman Denied US Visa
Islamabad, The United States has refused a visa to Pakistan senate deputy chairman Maulana Abdul Ghafoor Haideri, who was to travel to New York to represent the country at the UN-sponsored International Parliamentary Union (IPU) being held there next week. Haideri belongs to Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F), a Sunni Deobandi political party in Pakistan that supports Taliban and other extremist outfits.
Following this development, Pakistan senate chairman Raza Rabbani announced a boycott of the event. According to a report in Dawn, the chairman has also directed that no Senate delegation will visit the US unless Washington or the US embassy in Pakistan give an explanation for the delay in issuance of visa to Haideri.
According to an official statement released by the senate secretariat, Rabbani has also directed that "no delegation, member of Congress or diplomat of the US will be welcomed by the senate of Pakistan, senate standing committees and senators in their official capacity [until] this issue is resolved".
Haideri was not directly in contact with the US embassy in Islamabad and all correspondence in this regard was carried out by the secretariat on his behalf. The secretariat staff was told on Saturday that the embassy would inform them about the status of the visa on February 14, the last day of the IPU hearing.
This indicated that the US had decided not to allow the deputy chairman to attend the conference. This impression was strengthened by the fact that the embassy had already granted a visa to Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) senator Lt-Gen Salahuddin Tirmizi, the other member of the delegation.
Haideri belongs to the Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F), which openly opposes US policies, particularly the country's role in the ongoing war against terrorism.

Good. Fast. Expensive. Pick Two.
It is a commonplace among conservatives that liberals just want to spend government money, as much as possible on almost anything they can find. This is, of course, not true. Liberals want to spend money on projects that they think will be more valuable than the equivalent usage in the private sector.
This is presenting some problems now that the actual aim should, by the theory of Keynesian stimulus, to spend money as fast as possible on almost anything you can find.
It is very obvious, now that we have the stimulus plans, that the Democrats are using stimulus as an excuse to spend money on things they want to spend money on. Their demand for things like alternative energy programs is inelastic; it's just that it happens, right now, to be convenient to bill them as stimulus.
The problem is, that contra the Republicans, Democrats do care that money spent on these important projects is spent well. And spending a lot of money well takes time. It's an inversion of the old engineering aphorism: good. fast. expensive. You can only have two of the three.
With the whole thing done, it seems that two thirds of the funds will flow within 18 months of enacting the plan. Of course it's true that 100 percent would be better. And even truer that if we had passed a stimulus plan back last September rather than experiencing months of delay thanks to conservative intransigence this problem wouldn't be so severe.
But in the context of stimulus, eighteen months is a long damn time. Eighteen months is, in fact, about how long it takes a stimulus to work through the system. If for no other reason, that ought to be a little worrisome for progressives because that means the stimulus won't have even 2/3 of its full effect until after midterms. It is simply not "even truer" that conservative intransigence is causing worse delays than the focus on spending the money on massive new projects. It's not even as true. It's not true at all. No matter how you assess the relative benefits of spending to tax cuts, tax cuts could be 95% out the door in April. So could many other kinds of rapid government spending--preventing fare cuts on transit systems, sure, but also repainting all the faded yellow lines on highways, or repairing park benches, redecorating government offices, etc.
The basic idea is that if everyone is afraid to spend money because they might be laid off, and sits at home in the dark, all the people who made money selling the things they used to buy will get laid off--and so will they, because they're part of "everyone". The government basically shocks us into a higher level of output by spending the money we're afraid to.
Though you wouldn't think it from the really quite shocking incivility emanating from the pro-stimulus side, the empirical evidence that this works in a large industrial economy like ours is basically nonexistant. The problem is, we have very, very few examples to test on: America during the Great Depression, and Japan in the 1990s. And neither America nor Japan managed to stimulate their way out of their troubles. You can argue--and many do--that this is because we, and they, didn't stimulate enough. That may be true. But unless you can forward test your theory, it's a just so story . . . as we just painfully found out about the "It was all the Fed's fault" narrative of the 1930s banking collapse. There is no excuse for calling people who question your highly theoretical model fools and charlatans.
What we've got, since Japan really never did emerge from its lost decade, is basically one fact: America entered World War II in a depression, and emerged from World War II without one. Hopefully, the relevant variable was the massive, massive amount of spending, rather than any of the other explanations one can plausibly build about the effect of Total War on depressions--like the slaughter of some of your excess labor force, or the substitution of more immediate fears of being killed for panic about the financial future.
But the amount of government borrowing during World War II was truly gargantuan--roughly half of GDP by 1943. All the relief dribbled out over the course of the Great Depression at best kept the Depression from being worse--unemployment was still in the double digits in the late 1930s. Moreover, much of the spending FDR did do was paid for by tax hikes, which cancel out the stimulative effect of the spending. It's hard to tell how much to credit even the improvement we did see to government borrowing, because of course the acute portion of a financial crisis does come to an end eventually even without government action, and by the time FDR entered office the thing had already been running for a good three years.
So if we're going to do stimulus, judging from our not-very-good best example, what we want to do is pack a massive wallop as quickly as possible, to shock those "animal spirits" back into a more normal economic rhythm. I am skeptical that this will work even if tried, for reasons I have outlined elsewhere. But if we are going to try it, we should be focusing less on the Democratic wish list and more on figuring out where money can be most quickly and effectively spent.
