The most popular methods used to fund trading accounts are Credit / Debit Cards, and eWallets. Electronic Wallets like PayPal and MoneyBookers are popular methods because of the additional layer of security involved however most brokers use the highest forms of SSL security available online. Wire Transfer are another popular method for larger investment amounts.
Before selecting an investment amount make sure to find a broker you trust. For the list of recommended brokers, you can view our list of brokers.
Here is a list, with a brief explanation of which deposit methods are popular and which brokers accept these investment types.
Credit Cards – These days it seems that everyone has a credit card. This is easily the most popular deposit method and is usually as easy as buying something on amazon.com.
Debit Cards – Debit cards these days have changed over the years and offer a nice amount of flexibility when depositing at your broker.
MoneyBookers – MoneyBookers is a popular eWallet in Europe and Asia. Similar to PayPal, users can fund their MoneyBookers account and make payment at thousands of online shops for goods and services including the forex market.
Liberty Reserve – This is another eWallet. Popular in Africa and the Middle East, Liberty Reserve is quickly growing to become one of the top online banking methods in the world with over 1 million users.
PayPal – PayPal is the original eWallet. These days competition in the space is pretty high and so PayPal has actually faded out a bit in favor of cheaper methods mentioned above. From what we have found there are no brokers accepting PayPal deposits at this time.
Payza – This is another eWallet growing in popularity. There are few brokers who accept these types of investments and we are still searching for a broker who accepts Payza.
Wire Transfer – If you've ever received a payment from overseas to your bank account then you've received a wire transfer. Wire Transfers are the best way to transfer large amounts of money quickly and accurately. There is a fee involved that your bank will charge, but you can be sure the funds will reach your broker swiftly. If you have an account with Westpac Bank for example you wont have any issues at all receiving or sending transfers to and from your broker trading account.

Strip Club–Brazilian Wax Edition
I was doing ok following my self-imposed kit buying rules until I found the site Beautiful Gear. If you are not following this site, you are missing out, as it is a wonderful destination for the latest in jerseys and footwear and fashion. Early in 2011 I came upon this post, which tied my love for footy and Batman in a way I could not have imagined. So in the spirit of the knights of old, I went on a quest. I knew I wanted this kit even though it violated my new principles of buying on US Men's National Kits, but for this one I was willing to make an exception.
However, this journey was a little more difficult than I had imagined, as info and accessibility were sketchy at best. In my research I found out that Brazil had actually worn white kits in their early history but had put them in the trashbin of history after losing the 1950 World Cup Final at the Maracana, and that a fan contest had created the iconic kit going forward.
I found a couple of more sites that talked about this foreboding jersey but very little in the way of links to purchase. My research revealed the CBF has put the kibosh on the Dark Knight version but had approved a black kit with yellow highlights. I can't imagine the Seleção ever wearing this in a competitive game, but the modified kit is still amazing with the hints of color popping out against the black background. (Pics courtesy of footballfashion.org)
I have a lead on a knock off version of the black kit so I might spring for it at some point. If anyone knows where to find this one of a kind shirt, please let me know. Yes I already have too many jerseys, but this a true collector's item, so might have to bend my "rules" slightly.

PORTSMOUTH — A former heroin addict, now working as regional coordinator for Allies for Substance Abuse Prevention, Sandi Coyle is thinking about transforming a derelict downtown property into the Safe Harbor Recovery Center, where there would be support services for people in recovery.
Coyle has her eye on a building at 78 Bridge St., once an apartment building that was shut down by the city and a judge for a host of code and safety violations. Almost two years ago, Portsmouth officials inspected the building and saw gas, electrical, plumbing, health and safety violations. Coyle now looks at it and sees a prominent location where people in recovery could meet for peer-to-peer support and, she said, the whole community could see "there's hope, and there's success, and there's life, and there's love."
The boarded-up building, which has languished on the real estate market for more than a year, is one of two properties Coyle is considering for the Safe Harbor Recovery Center. She said not everyone needs a formal setting to recover from addiction and there aren't enough programs in New Hampshire for recovering addicts. To fill the gap, said the 37-year-old Exeter resident, she decided to develop a new program in Portsmouth with a "recovery system" for addicts in crisis, in early-phase recovery and in long-term recovery.
"I'm a person in recovery and I saw this void for people in recovery who are reluctant to talk about it," she said. "It's been in the shadows of our community, but I want people to know that there are people living all around us in recovery."
Coyle said peer-to-peer programs have proven to be effective when people in early recovery are paired with veteran coaches. Her plan for the Safe Harbor Recovery Center is to offer that kind of peer support, along with workshops on stress reduction, child care, yoga, financial management and other pertinent topics for people rebuilding their lives.
Coyle is also a firm believer in "making recovery more visible."
"I was nine years sober when less than a dozen people in my life knew that because we've put so much shame on addiction."
Coyle's plans include making the new recovery center a nonprofit organization and she said she has "a potential statewide sponsor." She plans a "soft opening" in the summer, to be "up and running" by the fall and has a local marketing firm working on marketing and branding. A logo was created Tuesday, but remains under wraps.
Active in the recovery community, Coyle has contributed during many recent panel discussions with statewide officials seeking solutions to a heroin and fentanyl epidemic. In Portsmouth, firefighters treated 65 people who overdosed last year and five people died from overdoses tied to fentanyl.
Coyle is also featured in a documentary being made by Portsmouth filmmaker Michael Venn about addiction and recovery. In it, she talks about how ill she was while withdrawing from heroin and how, on the third consecutive day of feeling too sick to eat, she called a police officer who arrested her and thanked him for saving her life.
She said treatment centers in New Hampshire are underfunded and that many people struggling with addiction don't have the ability to pay for private treatment.
"New Hampshire is filling 6 percent of the population's need," Coyle said. "I want a shingle on Main Street in Portsmouth. My goal is to make the solution bigger than the problem and there's strength in numbers."

Audi Q5, as the name suggests is the smaller counterpart of Audi's flagship SUV, the Q7. The Q5 was launched the world over in late 2008 and made its entry into India in mid 2009. The Q5 follows a crossover form factor, which means it gives you the best combination of sedan and SUV characteristics. Being one of the first crossovers from Audi, the Q5 had no legacy or predecessor to live up to, but that also meant that the market was apprehensive about the purpose and positioning of this new machine.
Design and Features:
Whether stationary or on the move, the Q5 looks brute. It doesn't have the large dimensions of its elder sibling, the Q7, but has an equally menacing front fascia with the large walrus grill; the intimidating LED daytime running lights and large wheels and arches. The coupe-like roofline gives it its crossover form factor. The tail, however is a subtle design and like most Audis on sale today, doesn't exude as much flamboyance as its other German rivals. From either side, the Q5's outline resembles that of its stepsibling, the Volkswagen Tiguan, but that's where the similarity ends since there is no platform sharing here. The Q5's design boasts of a decent ground clearance making the crossover look like a full blown SUV when standing amongst its Indian counterparts like the Scorpio or the Safari. The Q5's interiors are almost similar to that of the current generation A4 and are available in both, a conventional black/grey or beige finish. The top notch paint quality and the interior elements highlight the Q5's up-market positioning.
The B&O audio system, mated to the new generation Audi Multi-Media Interface make it one of the best entertainers in the business. From DVDs and audio CDs to our local FM radio, the MMI can make everything sound great to the ear. But that's not all, the MMI is the interface which lets you communicate with the car in order to make calls, access the car's mechanical settings, view trip/engine/fuel related information etc. The downside however is, that MMI's voice recognition won't understand the Indian accent all that well, hence forcing you to speak differently or making the changes manually as you would with a gamer's joystick. I personally prefer using the BMW's i-Drive interface over the MMI but since most owners will hand over these premium cars to their chauffeurs, you are going to use this interfaces just for entertainment and nothing more.
Driving abilities and comfort:
The Q5 has been built on Audi A4's MLP underpinnings. MLP stands for Modular Longitudinal Platform – which lets a longitudinally mounted engine and transmission to be placed further behind the front axle allowing a longer wheelbase to be incorporated in the design without significantly altering the exterior dimensions. This aids lesser frontal overhang, giving the vehicle a better weight distribution. In layman's terms, the MLP allows better handling characteristics and minimal body roll. This is evident the moment you hit the accelerator. Unlike a typical SUV the Q5 won't start floating around on its suspension. Instead the Q5 rewards you with the handling characteristics of a sporty sedan while giving you the commanding driving position of a SUV.
The four-way independent suspension not only aids handling, but gives the occupants a comfortable ride quality even in India. Audi have gone a step further and incorporated high profile (65) tyres for the Q5 and reduced the rim diameter to 17" to add more comfort on our bumpy roads. The Q5's seating is plush and can take five adults without a hassle. The coupe roofline however may make taller occupants feel cramped.
Audi India has made a wise choice of engines for our market. The petrol offering comes in the form a 2.0-litre TFSI 4-cylinder mill which produces 155bhp of power and 350 Nm of torque. These figures are enough to propel this baby elephant from naught to 100 in less than 8 seconds. However for the not too power-hungry, Audi has its sensible 3.0-litre TDI diesel engine which can post almost similar timings while returning a phenomenal fuel consumption figure of ~19 kmpl! Both these engines are mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission which puts the power down to the road through Audi's acclaimed Quattro all-wheel drive system.
The Competition:
With a price bracket of Rs. 38-44 lakh, the Q5 competes with the likes of the BMW X3, the Mitsubishi Montero, the Land Cruiser Prado and the Volvo XC90. While the Beemer is a crossover, the rest are full-blown SUVS. But if you are looking for the best of both the worlds and want a vehicle that looks fresher (and meaner) than the ageing X3, the Q5 is the car to buy
Its a very good looking car. It looks better than the Merc E class and the BMW 5 series. Even if you care a figure about cars, you just can't stop craning your neck if this car passes by. The A6 looks long and sturdy. The tail lights have been augmented with the R8 inspired lenses that cut through the haze of blowing snow.

These are the diapers that my husband and I prefer!
These diapers are reasonably priced and very absorbent. As a bonus, they have a nice baby powder scent which makes our nursery smell good. Occasionally our grocery store will run a sell on Luvs which makes them the same prices as Comforts For Baby. In that case, we stock up!
Plus, I'd like to give a shout-out to whoever runs Luvs' Twitter account. You make my day!
This was the big surprise for us. These diapers are the best deal for your money. Some off-brand diapers feel paper-thin, but these are absorbent, without being "poofy". I give these a lot for baby showers just to show moms that they have low-priced options that work! Note: These diapers run a size smaller than most. So if your child wears a size 1 in other brands, you're going to want a size 2.
Don't let the way these diapers look fool you. They are very absorbent, they just don't look or feel like it. My husband and I like these diapers (especially the price), but the fact that the diaper turns yellow when it's wet grosses other people out. Target tends to run some pretty good sales on these diapers, but we don't really have a Target close to us. My husband and I thought about ordering them online in bulk and taking advantage of their free shipping, but it's a lot more convenient for us to pick up diapers when we're grocery shopping.
Note: When Target runs a really good promotion on their diapers, expect them to sell out quickly!
Great diapers, we just go with the cheaper options.
These are both quality diapers, but also a little pricey. We did enjoy the wetness indicator when we first brought our daughter home. She was very sensitive to wet diapers and we didn't always know why she was upset. I recommend these for first time parents until they can get a handle on what their baby is trying to tell them.
Some parents really like the umbilical cord cut-out with the Huggies. I found that it was easier to fold down the top of a regular diaper because it gave me a little more control on the placement.
Both Huggies & Pampers both have a reward points program for customers of their diaper & wipes products, but this really isn't an influencing factor for me. I don't buy enough of either brand to qualify for many of their rewards.
These diapers work if you need to stretch your dollar till the next payday . . . or you just forgot to fill your diaper bag before you left the house.
Not the most absorbent diaper I've tried. They worked well for our daughter when she was strictly bottle-fed, but they just couldn't keep up once she started eating solids.
I buy these when I'm out and forgot to bring diapers, but they will never be my preferred diaper. They are very stiff, so they don't baby's curves as well as other options.
Yeah. They're that bad.
I do not recommend these diapers. They didn't really hold much of anything. My husband went to put one on my daughter and the elastic around one of the legs actually tore off of the diaper. Don't waste your money. There's really not much else to say.

Poinsettias and Pointe Shoes
by Good News Reporter
Joanne Quinn-Smith
Poinsettias & Pointe Shoes Friday, November 30, 2012 was designed by the Pittsburgh Ballet and Phipps Conservatory to both delight and warm the hearts of visitors. Both organizations outdid themselves. There was stuff for the whole family. A preview of the ballet left no doubt that attendees would continue their tradition of attending the Nutcracker. Also the combination of the ballet show and being able to wonder the rooms of the Botanical Gardens-----------------show just made perfect sense. The magic of a traditional ballet and the 1893 glasshouse enveloped visitors in a Christmas wonderland.
The sentinel at the entry of the show was a Victorian hearth and the sampling of the Nutcracker included the Sugarplum Pas de Deux from the PBT's annual performance of Terrence S. Orr's The Nutcracker. This classic by Tchaikovsky has become a holiday tradition around the world since its premier in Russia in 1892, coincidentally one year before Henry Phipps opened his conservatory in Pittsburgh.
Strolling through the Winter Flower Show & Winter Light Garden With seasonal blooms, twinkling lights, aromatic greens and other adornments, really made one feel like you were "coming home for the holidays." In addition to the annual winter delights a brand new outdoor Winter Light Garden exhibit will shine nightly with scores of whimsical LED light forms.
Strolling through the Winter Flower Show & Winter Light Garden With seasonal blooms, twinkling lights, aromatic greens and other adornments, really made one feel like you were "coming home for the holidays." In addition to the annual winter delights a brand new outdoor Winter Light Garden exhibit will shine nightly with scores of whimsical LED light forms.
With more days gone by nostalgia, there is a Garden Railroad in the South Conservatory. An elaborate model train display chugs through miniature living landscapes sprinkled with groundcover, sedums and other low-growing plants. This year, Phipps takes us back on a trip in time to 1893 to celebrate the debut of Phipps Conservatory and its connection with the World's Fair.
Of course viewing the Winter Flower Show at night - a time when glowing candles light the walkways and live music filed the air, made the experience even more magical. There are more than 30 varieties of poinsettias along with paper whites and amaryllis — even though awe inspiring they aren't the only features that shout Christmas.
The theme of this year's show, "Come Home for the Holidays," plays out in warm, homey touches that Phipps officials hope will give visitors that fuzzy, sentimental feeling of the holidays. A large Victorian dollhouse, handmade by Phipps volunteers, stands in the Welcome Center. A Victorian-style hearth, complete with a faux-flickering fire, greets visitors in the Palm Court. In the nearby Serpentine Room, doors salvaged from Construction Junction stand along the windy path, with wreaths hanging on the doors. This is a smorgasbord of visual treats and something for everyone including the old fashioned market where children can play at shopping and period trees decorated for the 1893 era.
What a novel idea to put the romance of the Nutcracker to a backdrop of the visual romance of Phipps 1893 Glasshouse. It is a little girl's dream and a big girl's fantasy. As the carol says: "for kids from 1 to 92," Phipps wishes a Merry Christmas to you. Moms and dads you will revel in the delight on children's faces as they wonder through flowers and Christmas trees and Santa Claus displays. Significant others, well just take a look at the cozy couple in the foyer in our final picture. A picture is worth a thousand words. Peruse ours and you will get the idea that you should "Come home to Phipps for the holidays on your way to The Nutcracker by the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre. This just could be the most perfect romantic or family evening out. Visions of Sugar Plum Fairies and Victorian Christmases will dance in your head for many seasons to come.
The Winter Garden exhibit will be open until 10 p.m. daily from Nov. 23-Jan.6. Learn More

New Fun Thing FAIL: Michelle Bachman Birthday Card
So yesterday I was on my favorite Washington, DC porn site, Wonkette, and they had a post about how you can go sign congressional dummy/rotted corpse of Joseph McCarthy Michelle Bachman's birthday card. They assured me, the Wonkette did, that they had no problem getting their rude message through Bachman's webmaster's freedom censors, so I figured, hey, I should offer my birthday greetings to America's greatest lobotomized hero.
But no! The computer hackers from ACORN have failed me. My birthday message (above, clickety click) has not been posted. Yet this ALL-CAPS-happy comment from a Dr. Frank in Charlotte, NC made it through:
Happy Birthday and THANK YOU FOR WHO YOU CHOOSE TO BE!
Dr. Frank, you should know already that it's NOT A CHOICE!

Neurodegenerative Diseases, the Need for Research Dollars, and The Resilience Project
iBiology has an eye-opening video that we invite you to watch called, Neurodegenerative disease: The Coming Epidemic. In it, Dr. Gregory Petsko discusses how our population is aging and how with that comes an increase in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's. He makes a clear case for the need for research dollars. He also explains that while most neurodegenerative diseases "arises sporadically, about 10% has a direct genetic cause." It is the genetic cause and how researchers are studying it that is incredibly exciting.
He introduces us to Douglas Whitney of Port Orchard, Washington whom he calls "the most interesting man in the world." He tells us that about half of the Whitney family has died in their 40s or 50s because of a genetic mutation that causes Alzheimer's disease. Mr. Whitney has the mutated gene. By all accounts, he too should have died from Alzheimer's. However, at age 67 he is still alive and shows no signs of the disease. The question is why. What can researchers learn from what else Doug Whitney may have in his genetic make-up? You can watch the video below and find additional information, including more videos in the series and related articles, here .
After watching the video, you may find yourself wondering how many other Douglas Whitneys may be among us. In April 2016, The New York Times reported in an article entitled, People Who Avoided Illness Could Be Key in Treating Those Who Didn't that "researchers searched databases containing genetic sequences from nearly 600,000 healthy adults" and discovered 13 who may hold clues "to treating others who did not escape the gene's effects." The excitement of those 13 was very short lived because while the participants in the databases gave their DNA, they also signed an agreement that they would remain anonymous. In short, it was back to square one.
This, however, sparked the idea for The Resilience Project which "aims to discover hidden factors that protect people from disease." The Project is searching for people worldwide who, "according to medical textbooks, should be sick but have somehow escaped typical signs and symptoms of the disease." For this project, anyone who agrees to have their DNA sequenced also agrees to be contacted by researchers if they have a mutated gene that should have made them ill but did not. This Project presents the opportunity to open the door to potentially life-save treatments! Currently you can sign up at The Resilience Project, and we encourage you to do so. With some luck, we may find a few genetic winners among us to help researchers pave the way to a cure.

Over the past several decades, scientists have faced challenges in developing new antibiotics even as bacteria have become increasingly resistant to existing drugs. One strategy that might combat such resistance would be to overwhelm bacterial defenses by using highly targeted nanoparticles to deliver large doses of existing antibiotics.
In a step toward that goal, researchers at MIT and Brigham and Women's Hospital have developed a nanoparticle designed to evade the immune system and home in on infection sites, then unleash a focused antibiotic attack.
This approach would mitigate the side effects of some antibiotics and protect the beneficial bacteria that normally live inside our bodies, says Aleks Radovic-Moreno, an MIT graduate student and lead author of a paper describing the particles in the journal ACS Nano.

Apple removes app used in Hong Kong protests after pressure from China
Apple has removed HKmap.live, a crowdsourced mapping app widely used by Hong Kong residents, from the App Store. The app and accompanying web service has been used to mark the locations of police and inform about street closures during the ongoing pro-democracy protests that have engulfed Hong Kong this year.
Apple initially rejected HKmap.live from the App Store earlier this month, then reversed its decision a few days later. Now it has reversed its reversal.
Here's Apple's statement:
We created the App Store to be a safe and trusted place to discover apps. We have learned that an app, HKmap.live, has been used in ways that endanger law enforcement and residents in Hong Kong. Many concerned customers in Hong Kong have contacted us…

So, due in no small part to my general wussiness about camping in 100+ degree weather in Alabama, we decided instead to stop in Atlanta. Specifically, I said, "Hey, want to go find Kevin [Gillespie, of Top Chef season 6 finalist fame]'s restaurant in Atlanta?"
I would like full credit for what turned out to be a really good idea. [Warning: food porn ahead!]

>That's right, there's no pity party here tonight. You are free to attend your other plans, turn around, go home, I've already put up the tissues, the snacks are not out, and I won't entertain this poor-me party atmosphere one more second.
I've had enough of sitting here feeling sorry for myself. Now, I have one small interjection. I know God just saved my life, and I am thankful to still be enjoying my family and still here for and with them. However, this has put a huge financial strain on us, unlike anything I've ever experienced.
I don't like to be stressed out, and I certainly don't like wondering when or if I can pay my bills. But my focus shifted today. I haven't been writing because every time I try to write a blog, all I do is whine into this space about my pitiful self, and I don't like reading it, so I don't post it.
Tonight, however, I'm feeling encouraged. God has been speaking to me, tugging on my heart, calling me back to an attitude of prayer. He's been reminding me all day of things I used to pray for, and how much different those things looked when I did pray for and about them. I love that God loves me and is patient with me, because I am dense.
Side note: I got to work on my house today, and housework has never made me so happy. I cleaned up the living room, opened the windows and got some fresh air in the house, and worked on some laundry. It felt so good to move around, to care for my little home, and to be doing something. My heart was genuinely happy about the work and my body was equally as thankful for the movement – although I can feel it now.
Back to what God is doing: He is calling me back to the patience I once offered my children. He is calling me to press into Him, and lead my boys to do the same. We prayed at dinner time tonight, and at bed time, and we read from Proverbs before bed. I didn't realize how many of those things I'd let slide. I lost my focus and was not working to raise up my children in the Lord – not the way He has called me to. I want to do better. I want my children to have faith in God, I want them to live to serve Him, to rely on Him, to trust Him with their whole lives. I also want them to live with Him as their guide, their compass in this world, and their comfort everyday.
So, my goal, as God grows me, stretches me, consumes me, guides me, calls me, tugs on my heart, and gives me a comfort and peace unlike any I've known, is that I would focus solely on Him, and as I do so, that He would guide me to raise my boys to do the same. I will turn my voice toward heaven, and lift up my praises, my cares, my concerns, my fears, my thanks….my life…to Him in prayer.
Ephesians 2:8-9 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."

Long time ago, in 2010, CakeDC Users plugin for CakePHP was released for CakePHP 1.3. Almost nine years has passed and the initial code has changed dramatically, offering new and exciting features.
In 2011 the team released the first version to be compatible with the new CakePHP 2.0. At this moment we focused in keeping the same features and only adding support for the new version of the framework.
When CakePHP 3.0 arrived in 2015 we decided to refactor Users plugin completely, making it easier to use but also adding terrific features out of the box like:
- Social login with most popular providers
- RBAC permissions
- Superuser
- And much more..
It continued evolving and today we will show how to use the latest provider we have added to the social login feature in the plugin, Amazon Cognito.
Let's talk first about it. We'll use Amazon Cognito basically as an Oauth 2.0 Server. It'll let you manage your user groups and users. It provides a simple interface to sign up, sign-in and also use many social providers like Facebook, Google and Amazon. It also allows using SAML 2.0 providers and they promise it may scale to millions of users. You can also fully customize form and buttons.
Best of all, it is free for the first 50,000 logins.
Let's start configuring Amazon Cognito in AWS Panel. We must first create a user pool. You could have different user pools and each of them having an exclusive set of features.
Now we need to customize our new pool adding a pool name, etc. We can use default settings for testing purposes. If you want to customize fields you should then go through steps.
Once we check everything is okay we can click on Create Pool.
Now, it's time to setup App Clients. If you are familiar with OAuth and another services it is like creating a Facebook or Twitter App.
And then click on Add an app client. Just add a name and save.
Remember to write down your client ID and client secret because they will be needed later to configure Users plugin.
The next step is to setup app client settings. We need to configure:
- Callback url: set it to /auth/cognito if you want to use plugin defaults.
- The flow to Authorization code grant and the scopes you must select at least email and openid. You can select profile in case you want to get all the user information from cognito.
Finally we need to configure a domain name for the user pool. Use a custom domain or a subdomain from Cognito.
Now that we are ready with Cognito setup, let's easily create a new CakePHP app, to connect with Amazon Cognito.
First, we need a new CakePHP app:
composer create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app users-app
Remember to create a new empty database.
Now we can go to users-app folder and run:
composer require cakedc/users
After CakeDC Users plugin is installed, we need to install Oauth 2 Cognito provider package:
composer require cakedc/oauth2-cognito
CakeDC Users plugin configuration is pretty easy:
public function pluginBootstrap() { parent::pluginBootstrap(); Configure::load('users'); }
return [ 'Users.Social.login' =--> true, 'OAuth.providers.cognito.options.clientId' => 'CLIENT_ID', 'OAuth.providers.cognito.options.clientSecret' => 'CLIENT_SECRET', 'OAuth.providers.cognito.options.cognitoDomain' => 'DOMAIN', 'OAuth.providers.cognito.options.region' => 'REGION', ];
- Load the Users Plugin
bin/cake plugin load CakeDC/Users
- If you prefer to do this manually, add this line at the end of your src/Application.php bootstrap() method
- Add the following line into AppController::initialize() method
- Add the following code to your src/Application.php pluginBootstrap() method to ensure we override the plugin defaults
- Add the file config/users.php with your specific configuration, including
In case you used a custom domain for you user pool, you can replace cognitoDomain option by using hostedDomain option (including protocol):
'OAuth.providers.cognito.options.hostedDomain' => 'YOUR DOMAIN',
Scope option defaults to
email openid
. If you selected another scopes, you may want to add them as well:
'OAuth.providers.cognito.options.scope' => 'email openid profile',
Finally we just need to go to /login.
and click on Sign in with Cognito. If everything is setup correctly you should see the following screen:
You can previously create a user in AWS panel or just click signup on that screen. After login you will be redirected to homepage in CakePHP App.
As you can see, the setup for both Cognito and App are simple if you use default settings. However after testing defaults, you can start customizing forms, fields, adding third party apps. You have no limits.
Last words
We create and maintain many open source plugins as well as contribute to the CakePHP Community as part of our open source work in CakeDC.
While developing this provider, we've also published a generic Oauth2 Amazon Cognito repository.
- Oauth2 Amazon Cognito provider
- Amazon Cognito

- Using RBAC as a CakePHP Middleware

Dancing with the Stars Recap: The Second Elimination Is In!
Welcome to the official recap for the Season 21 Week 2 Hometown Glory Part 2 episode of Dancing with the Stars (original airdate September 22, 2015). After the elimination of Chaka Khan during Part 1, we had to bid adieu to another star as Victor Espinoza exited the ballroom. Elimination time is never easy, but it can't take away from the top-notch dances turned in along the way. Check out a recap of the night's most memorable routines in the Glitter Report!
Shirtless in New York: Tamar Braxton & Valentin Chmerkovskiy danced the Charleston to "Living in New York City" by Robin Thicke. Even though his folks came from the Ukraine, Val considers the Big Apple his home. The teammates went back and forth as to how to crank out the routine and Val's shirtless start. Their fun, uplifting routine earned the top score of the night.
A Partner's Promise: Nick Carter & Sharna Burgess did a Foxtrot to "Coming Home, Pt. II" by Skylar Grey. There are a lot of things going on back home with Sharna's family. Nick knew this. He promised his partner that they weren't going home this week. Then he went out and did a dance that may have kept them safe for the following week as well.
Making a Commitment: Andy Grammer & Allison Holker did a Contemporary routine to "Heaven Is a Place on Earth" by Katie Thompson. The team slowed things down, but turned up the passion to deliver a beautiful routine. Carrie Ann said she felt Andy's "commitment" to the dance. It was enough to earn him scores of 8-8-7.
Mom's Signature Move: Alexa PenaVega & Mark Ballas did a Rumba to "Somewhere in Time" by John Barry and Roger Williams. During rehearsals, Mark revealed that they were going to do his mom's signature dance move. Alexa knew her partner wanted to make this dance special. Well, special it was, even though the judges had some critical things to say. The team still ended with scores of 7-7-8.
The Say Hayes, Kid: Hayes Grier & Emma Slater kicked off the evening with a Quickstep to "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" by Jet. It's never easy to be first out of the gate, but this team did all right as their scores of 8-7-8 indicate.
The Lift Police: Bindi Irwin & Derek Hough did their first Waltz to "Only a Man" by Jonny Lang. Derek grew up in Utah and feels like he left the boy he was behind when he moved away. All grown up and ready to dance, he and Bindi turned in a lovely, flowing routine that held the crowd spellbound. Carrie Ann was a little disappointed that she had to put her "lift police" badge on.
Part 2 of the 2-Night Hometown Glory event ended with Tamar and Val atop the leaderboard and Victor Espinoza heading home from the ballroom. All remaining teams are back in action for Dancing with the Stars MONDAY 8|7c!

This is one of those 'Oh My God, I can't believe I haven't tried this yet'- moments!
So I absolutely love coconut-ty flavors. Some members of my family don't share this love or get it (read: Dad) because its been associated with hair oil for way too long (yes, here in India coconut oil has massaged many heads). I'll get him around some day but till then I'm going to get my hands on every coconut dessert there is because of my undying love for it.
So far my experiments with coconut milk have been limited to curries and the occasional soup. Recently I attended a fun cooking class (I really want to tell you about it) and we tried a caramel custard with no cream and no milk. All the good stuff was replaced with coconut milk. You ain't gonna hear me complainin'!
Obviously, I loved it! And I wanted to try it. I did. Many times. Too many times maybe. Don't tell anyone about it.
But I wanted to do this differently. A couple of my mum's friends told her they don't own an oven. So this one's a special stovetop or gas burner version which you can make in your house WITHOUT an OVEN. How cool is that? I've given instructions below for a version in the oven as well, but you know what, stovetop takes less time and is just as delicious. So I'm going to chuck the oven for this one and try it on the gas burner, just like the good 'ole days. Nani, aren't you proud of me? (see how I sneak in some brownie points there?)Print
Stovetop Coconut Caramel Custard
- Prep Time: minutes
- Cook Time: minutes
- Total Time: 18 minute
- Category: dessert
A delicious recipe for coconut based caramel custard, steamed and made on the stovetop!
- 1 1/2 cups Coconut milk (First Pressing)
- 1/4 cup + 1/4 cup Sugar
- drops Vanilla extract (Few pure)
- 3 egg yolks
- Coconut (Toasted flakes for garnishing)
- 6 (small Ramekins)
- (Aluminium Foil)
- Heat water in a steamer and let it come to a boil.
- While the water comes to a boil, gently heat the coconut milk(I recommend homemade)and 1/4 cup sugar. Stir in the sugar till it dissolves. Be careful not to let the coconut milk boil.
- Separate the egg yolks in another bowl and slowly add the coconut milk to it, while whisking continuously. If you keep whisking during the entire process there shouldn't be any lumpy bits. But in case there are, don't worry, just pass the whole mixture through a sieve.
- Keep aside.
- The Caramel:
- In a saucepan (preferably stainless steel), sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar evenly and add a few drops of water. Gently heat up the pan.
- You will notice that the edges start to brown first. Push the liquefied sugar towards the middle. Don't stir the pan too often.
- The sugar will now start melting and brown pretty quickly. Its important that you do not walk away at this point. The caramel will start to brown and can go to burnt pretty quickly. Watch till it becomes amber brown and shut the flame.
- Immediately spoon the caramel in the ramekins to form a thin layer at the bottom. Be careful not to let it spill on you.
- Once you've layered all the ramekin bottoms, pour the custard into them.
- Cover with aluminium foil.
- Place the ramekins in the steamer. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook with the lid on for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, switch off the flame and let them stay for another 20 minutes in the steamer. Remove and cool at room temperature.
- Once cooled, you can leave them in the refrigerator for up to two days.
- To unmould, place the ramekins in warm water for a minute and invert on a plate. Garnish with coconut flakes and serve.
- In the Oven:
- If using an oven, pre-heat oven to 190 degree Celsius.
- Follow the process till step #9. After which, place the ramekins in a baking tray filled with water which comes half way up the ramekins.
- Bake uncovered for 45-60 minutes.
- Garnish with coconut flakes and serve.

|You Are Blocks
You've always been a architect of projects, even when you were a kid.
You tend to dream big, and there's a part of you that feels like you can build anything.
You are highly inventive and imaginative. As a kid, you didn't need fancy toys to make you happy.
You could make a game out of anything. You were (and are) very resourceful.

Happy Birthday Ricker!
Today is a milestone day for my step-dad Rick as he marks his 70th birthday! Rick has been a part of my life for 13 years and for 13 years I've called him "Ricker." He is a very kind, loving, thoughtful man, who makes my Mom amazingly happy. When you ask Ricker a question you more than likely will receive a giggle which we have nicknamed the U.R.R. (the Universal Ricker Response). But don't let that fool you, it is not that he is unengaged or not compelled to answer, he is just thinking it over.
Since I have no idea what it is like to turn 70, I thought I'd share the words of one who has:
Since I have no idea what it is like to turn 70, I thought I'd share the words of one who has:
"I have achieved my seventy years in the usual way, by sticking strictly to a scheme of life which would kill anybody else....I will offer here, as a sound maxim, this: That we can't reach old age by another man's road."
--Mark Twain
At his seventieth birthday dinner, in 1905, as quoted in Saving Your Brain, by Jeff Victoroff.
Ricker, you have certainly taken your "own" road to this point and I have no doubt that you will continue the same way. I hope you have a amazing birthday and the next decade of your life is filled with love, adventure and many happy memories.
Happy Birthday! I love you!

Quizzical Wednesday: Inward or Outward?
|Your Focus is Inward
You prefer to spend most of your time alone. Other people tax your reserves.
You appreciate and enjoy your own company. You can always find a way to entertain yourself.
You don't believe in being bored. In fact, you don't think it's even possible.
With so many ideas, books, and places to explore, you are never lonely - even if you're all by yourself.

Quizzical Wednesday: Suburbs or City?
|You Are the City
You are chic, sophisticated, and cultured. And you go crazy if you're not around similar people.
Living in the suburbs would feel like dying to you. You can't stand the cookie cutter restaurants, casual fashions, and chain restaurants.
What you love about the city is all its opportunities. Yes, it's expensive, but in your opinion it's worth it.
You may be a bit of a snob, and you're willing to accept that. At least you live well!

Quizzical Wednesday: Warm?
|You Should Stay Warm by Building a Fire
You are an independent, self starting type of person. You are quick to act and make decisions.
You wouldn't just sit around and be cold... you'd make sure and do something about it.
You are a natural leader. You like to be around other people, and you usually end up directing things.
You are usually fearless. And when you are afraid, you try to confront your fears. You aren't about to be intimidated by a bit of fire.

Our AndroMass Stack™ is the perfect choice for serious athletes looking for something to push them past those stubborn plateaus and transform their physique. This stack features our TEST Fx™ complex combined with our potent PCT MAX to blast test levels and ensure your gains are kept. The reason this stack is so effective at building muscle and shredding fat is due to it's unique combination of both a prohormone (Dehydroepiandrosterone-aka androstenolone) along with compounds to increase your natural testosterone production, nitrogen retention which increases protein synthesis, and IGF-1 levels which are involved in the hGH (Human Growth Hormone) pathway. By combining natural testosterone boosting compounds with our prohormone it ensures that your natural production is not diminished by the addition of the outside androgen (testosterone) source as well as aiding in the effects androgens have for muscle growth and recovery as well as libido. We also packed in 5-methyl-7-methoxyisoflavone to increase how much nitrogen your body retains which in turn increases overall protein synthesis, as well as Deer Antler Powder to increase your IGF-1 levels; a critical hormone in the hGH pathway that signals for cell growth on the cells it binds to. With 100mg of Androstenolone per capsule and over 500mg of other active compounds, there's no way you wont feel the effects working inside the gym and out!
Androstenolone is considered a prohormone because it is a precursor to more potent androgens such as Testosterone and DHT (dihydrotestosterone). Androgens are hormones that have the ability in the body to bind to what are known as androgen receptors. When these receptors are bound protein synthesis increases greatly and cell growth is turned on. Two of the most potent compounds we know (they have the best affinity for the androgen receptors) are Testosterone and Dihydrotestosterone which are the compounds Androstenolone are converted to in the body. When ingested, tissues in your body metabolizes the androstenolone to generate testosterone and DHT, but androstenolone by itself also has the ability to bind androgen receptors on its own (to a lesser affinity than Testosterone + DHT). So between its conversion to potent androgens and its ability to act as an androgen by itself, Androstenolone is a great mass building compound. Since it's not methylated and not converted by the liver, there is no liver toxicity associated with this prohormone as well!
This differs from a test booster as test boosters work to increase your natural production of testosterone while prohormones actually supply an outside source. TEST Fx contains both of these types of compounds.
Whenever outside sources of testosterone are supplemented, whether it be the actual hormone or precursors that convert to testosterone after metabolization, it is important to supplement with a PCT: Post-Cycle Therapy. While these are typically associated with the use of anabolic steroids(which we know none of you are abusing), there are many other compounds that work using that same pathway and can generate the same side-effects if a PCT is not used or not used appropriately. For example, our TEST Fx packs 100mg of DHEA per capsule- a strong prohormone that is eventually converted into testosterone once metabolized by the liver. An increase in testosterone can bring along effects from increased estrogen (as there's more testosterone to be converted to estrogen by the enzyme aromatase), an eventual decrease of natural testosterone production, and the additional work for your liver as that is the site of detoxification for your body.
PCT MAX is a tri-blend post-cycle therapy that works in 3 different ways to provide solutions to these 3 problems:
EstroControl Blend: provides naturally occurring compounds that prevent the body from synthesizing the aromatase enzyme that is responsible for the conversion of androgens (anabolic hormones) to estrogen. Blocking the synthesis of this enzyme doesn't wipe it out completely though, allowing you to maintain natural estrogen levels (needed for proper function and muscle growth) and you won't have to worry about diminishing IGF-1 levels which can occur with other Aromatase Inhibitors.
TestSupport Blend: Jumpstarts and skyrockets your natural test production to avoid diminished production rates and even helps to continue to build muscle once the outside Testosterone source is stopped.
LivSupport Blend: packed with milk thistle and n-acetyl-l-cysteine, this blend helps negate any stress that can be placed on your liver and cleanses any impurities
We recommended stacking PCT MAX with TEST Fx™ throughout the whole cycle and then continuing the PCT for atleast 3 weeks post cycle. This will maximize results and work as an on cycle support as well as a post cycle therapy. However, if to be used as just a PCT, take PCT MAX starting on the last week of your TEST Fx cycle. TEST Fx should be consumed, 1-3 capsules daily with food.

Whales Watching
Numerical facts about Costa Rica
The number of annual visitors who come for whale watching
Costa Rica is blessed with two annual whale migrations, with humpback whales traveling as far as 8,000 km to reach warmer waters near the equator. Northern humpbacks descend on Costa Ballena in December and stay until April, while a separate migration from the south arrives in July and remains until early November. In all, more than 2,000 whales, weighing up to 80,000 pounds and stretching up to 50 feet in length, make an appearance along Costa Rica's Pacific coastline.
The town of Uvita, along Costa Ballena, puts visitors in the heart of whale watching heaven, with close to 20 separate tour companies launching boats from the beaches of Bahia Uvita and the protected environment of Marino Ballena National Park. The region's peak season is between August and October, accentuated by the annual Festival of Whales and Dolphins in Bahia Ballena in September which brings in as many as 5,000 visitors to the quaint little town in a single weekend.
Whale watching tourism in Costa Rica generates an estimated $21 million in annual revenue, including $5 million in direct spending on tours.

I saw my house through different eyes last night: the eyes of a pastor from Spain who has a small church plant in the Basque region.
Two cars. Each child has their own bedroom. The laundry even has it's own room. Gas fireplace. Dishwasher. kitchen, dining room, living room, basement. YARD.
More than most families have where he is from, and frankly from where most of the world is from. It shut my "if only we had this, " or "if the basement were finished, then…." thoughts up in a heartbeat.
We have so much. It is not wrong to want or think those things. But, it is wrong to depend on things to satisfy and "complete" us. Only He can satisfy.
To whom much is given, much is required.
How can I use this, Lord? What can I do with it to your service? How can I be a better steward? Help me to hear your voice and use what I have well. Help my heart to be one overflowing with gratitude, not one of wishing for something else, relying on things to make us complete.

"Z" – The novel, the film and DVD
[tweetmeme source="mypassionisbooks" only_single=false]I recently had the distinct pleasure of watching the Criterion Collection's newest addition, Costa-Gavras' "Z" on DVD* (coming out October 27, 2009), and wrote a review of it here on Blogcritics.
I can't wait to read the book:
Z was directed by Costa-Gavras and loosely based on the 1967 novel Z by Vassilis Vassilikos — a novel which he stated was based in fact — a reconstruction of a political crime. Costa-Gavras' film Z was the winner of the 1970 Academy Award for Best Foreign Film. Costa-Gavras started the film with the following disclaimer: "Any similarity to actual events or persons living or dead is not coincidental. It is intentional."
* The DVD was provided by the publisher as review material for my review on Blogcritics.org

In planning a trip to a local college, I decided to scope out their parking situation ahead of time. As I scrolled around the parking layout on Google Maps, I couldn't help but notice in one of the lots that the oil stains in the parking spaces do something odd: they get progressively worse from left to right.
The effect seems to be true for the entire parking lot, but most pronounced in the top row of spots closest to the road.
The weird thing is these spots don't seem to have any clear relationship to the proximity of nearby buildings. They're as equidistant from the main building (the sports complex in the center of the photo below) as the the 'clean' spots are.
There is no building immediately to the left of these spots, either; the closest building in that direction has its own lots anyway, so unlikely anyone parking in this lot would even be going to that building.
Also odd is that the effect is linear - each successive spot is just a little dirtier than the one next to it. You'd also think this pattern would have to be followed by many cars over time to leave these kind of stains. Almost as if the parking spots had been assigned based on how much oil the owner's car leaked.
So why would the progressively leakiest cars always be parked left to right in this row, with the leakiest in the far corner?
The mind boggles.

NFL's TV deals hedge against work stoppage
The NFL has structured its media contracts to continue paying the owners in the event of a work stoppage, the same controversial mechanism used earlier this decade and which a federal court judge ruled against in 2011.
The current CBA expires after the 2021 season, and the two sides have begun financially preparing for what appears to be another tough set of negotiations and the potential loss of games.
Asked at the league's recent meetings in New York whether those media contracts have the work stoppage provision, Green Bay Packers President Mark Murphy replied affirmatively. Murphy is a member of the eight-owner labor negotiating committee.
Previously, the NFL in 2008 had re-negotiated those TV contracts to contain the provisions, meaning at the time those contracts were only a few years old when the four-month lockout occurred in 2011. The Hall of Fame game was the only preseason contest lost to the lockout.
In 2011, the provisions would have paid owners for up to two years of lost games. But because the current contracts are longer than the previous ones, the number of seasons the owners would now get paid for without games is longer as well.
Asked if the union knew about the current work stoppage provisions, NFLPA spokesman George Atallah wrote in an email, "We are not going to comment on it, but you know that we won that case obviously. We will follow the story with great interest, obviously."
When Minnesota federal judge David Doty ruled late in the evening of March 1, 2011, the decision exploded across the NFL. The CBA was three days from expiring, and the two sides were engaged in marathon federal mediation sessions in Washington, D.C.
"The record shows that the NFL undertook contract renegotiations to advance its own interests and harm the interests of the players," Doty wrote. "The facts underlying this proceeding illustrate another abuse of that market power wherein various broadcasters of NFL games were 'convinced' to grant lucrative work-stoppage payments to the NFL if the NFL decides to institute a lockout."
Doty's language helped fuel the players' decision to walk out of CBA talks on March 11.
The players argued that the NFL had taken less for the broadcast contracts in return for the work-stoppage provisions. The NFL appealed, but ultimately the case was settled as part of the end to the lockout that resulted in the current 10-year CBA.
There are a few differences now compared to the earlier situation. First, the media contracts were not suddenly renegotiated as they were in 2008. Second, Doty ruled on the basis of the antitrust agreement settlement that had governed NFL-NFLPA relations from 1993 through 2011. That agreement was eliminated as part of the CBA deal, so any new claim against the provisions would have to arise from other legal doctrines.
And third, Doty, whom the NFL saw as favorable to the union, no longer oversees their cases. Instead, disputes are randomly assigned to judges in the jurisdiction where cases are filed, likely the Southern District of New York, where the NFL is headquartered.
"No one but Doty would buy it," said a well-placed source close to the NFL on whether the league should be worried. "I would expect the union to challenge anything and everything."
The NFLPA has been preparing for a potential work stoppage, holding back group royalty fees from players and encouraging them to save their money. And there remains no love lost between the sides, which rarely see eye to eye.
"I represent the players and Roger [Goodell] represents the bad people," NFLPA Executive Director DeMaurice Smith on Oct. 19 told the University of Michigan Sport Business Conference. Pressed if he actually believed the commissioner of the NFL represented "bad" people, Smith replied affirmatively.
