Tobago Frontier Divers - Divers have little difficulty sighting barracudas, dolphins, whale sharks, nurse sharks, and turtles as well as sting rays. These are just some of the wonders awaiting the scuba diver in Tobago. There are extensive fringing reefs and rocky reefs including the Japanese Gardens, as well as underwater cliffs and canyons covered with corals and sponges. The variety of good dive sites means there are easy dives for the novice and challenging dives for the experienced.
Undersea Tobago - Undersea Tobago is owned and operated by the husband and wife team of Derek & Evelyn Chung. Diving in Tobago waters for over 15 years has given them the experience and local knowledge necessary to be able to give you an exhilerating and safe diving experience.
Wild Turtle Dive - We dive all around Tobago, including Crown point, Speyside and Sisters. Small groups with great service and personable staff, Wild Turtle Dive stand's out as Tobago's premium quality dive resort.
World of Watersports - Tobago is a year round Caribbean scuba diving destination, as our wet season usually consists of short sharp showers, which at most times are a welcome respite from constant sunshine. We are located about 11 degrees north of the equator which is outside of the normal paths of hurricanes, which may mean the odd windy day, as the beginnings of tropical storms pass us by, but rarely ever disrupt our diving schedule.
Dive BVI - Offering the most experienced and best equipped scuba diving in the British Virgin Islands, Dive BVI is your best choice for diving, snorkeling, and day trip experiences. We specialize in fun.
Paradise Watersports - We are located at the Peter Island Resort marina and our hours are usually 9:00 am to 4:30 pm 7 days a week. Certified divers can sign up for our 2 tank morning dives, new divers enjoy our afternoon resort courses, and snorkelers love our tours to some of the most famous sites and reefs in the BVI such as The Indians and Norman Island's The Caves.
Sunchaser Scuba - We are located at the Bitter End Yacht Club (BEYC) in the North Sound, Virgin Gorda. If you're not staying here we offer convenient rendezvous diving and / or hotel pick up's from Biras Creek Resort and Leverick Bay. If you're staying at Saba Rock, their free ferry will drop you off at our dock. If you're staying elsewhere in Virgin Gorda we'll be happy to pick you up from the Government ferry dock at Spanish Town.

Q: How to change selected item in BottomNavigationView I'm trying to replace from fragment to fragment, but it replaces without changing selected item in BottomNavigation.
Even i searched a lot I wasn't able to find the way.
Can anybody help?
Here is code:
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
       View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_upload, container, false);
       BottomNavigationView bottom =inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_main,container,false).findViewById(R.id.mainactivity_bottom_navi);

FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("posts").child(postModel.writerUid)
                                        .push().setValue(postModel)
                                        .addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<Void>() {
                                            @Override
                                            public void onSuccess(Void aVoid) {

                                                Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Uploaded Successfully!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

                                /*those are what i tried*/

                                                bottom.getMenu().findItem(R.id.action_home).setChecked(true);
                                                //bottom.setSelectedItemId(R.id.action_home);
                                                //View view = bottom.findViewById(R.id.action_home);
                                                //view.performClick();

                                                getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.mainactivity_framelayout, new HomeFragment()).commit();
                                            }
                                        });

And I didn't get any errors it just replaced without changing selected item.
So I checked in my main activity that which item is checked when I tap
//First view
    getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.mainactivity_framelayout, new HomeFragment()).commit();

    //bottom navi
    bottomNavigationView.setOnNavigationItemSelectedListener(new BottomNavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(@NonNull MenuItem item) {
            switch (item.getItemId()) {
                case R.id.action_home:
                    Log.d("checking bottom 1 = ",""+bottomNavigationView.getMenu().findItem(R.id.action_home).isChecked());
                    getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.mainactivity_framelayout, new HomeFragment()).commit();
                    return true;
                case R.id.action_upload:
                    Log.d("checking bottom 2 = ",""+bottomNavigationView.getMenu().findItem(R.id.action_home).isChecked());
                    getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.mainactivity_framelayout, new UploadFragment()).commit();
                    return true;
            }
            return false;
        }
    });

I tapped second case twice and first case twice and it shows as :
D/checking bottom 2 =: true
D/checking bottom 2 =: false
D/checking bottom 1 =: false
D/checking bottom 1 =: true

Am I missing something? I thought it supposed to show all true.
I need your help!
Thanks

A: I think the problem is that you check on a wrong BottomNavigationView, the following line in onCreateView is actually inflating a new instance of view without attaching it to the screen:
BottomNavigationView bottom = inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_main, container, false).findViewById(R.id.mainactivity_bottom_navi);

Instead of inflating a new view, try access the view from its activity:
BottomNavigationView bottom = getActivity().findViewById(R.id.mainactivity_bottom_navi);

Bed Bug Registry Gets 40,000 Visitors Per Day
by Kirsten VanderJagt | October 30, 2015
When Bedbugs Became News, the Bedbug Registry Became a Debated Source
by Bill KruegerPublished Oct. 7, 2010 5:22 pm Updated Nov. 24, 2014 3:41 pm
For three years, hardly anyone noticed the quirky little Web site Maciej Ceglowski created to keep track of bedbugs.
That was fine with Ceglowski, because it was more of a personal matter to him after bedbugs bit him one night in a Travelodge in San Francisco.
"It was good psychological therapy for me to get back at the bedbug," Ceglowski told me in a recent interview.
But bedbugs are in the news these days, with numerous reports about a rise in infestations nationwide in apartment buildings, hotels and other buildings. And suddenly Ceglowski's website, bedbugregistry.com, is not so little anymore.
At the beginning of the year, Ceglowski's website might have had 3,000 visitors a day and 20 reports of bedbug sightings. Now, the site gets up to 40,000 visitors and 100 new reports a day. (That's down from a peak of 50,000 visitors a day in August.)
Intended or not, bedbugregistry.com has become a source of news. For some, it's an example of the potential of crowdsourcing, where thousands of anecdotal reports come together to identify clusters of bedbugs in cities around the country. That relies on the assumption, though, that the information reported is accurate. And that gives some people pause.
Ceglowski says public health officials have called his site irresponsible, and hotel owners have threatened to sue him for allowing people to anonymously report the names of hotels where they claim bedbugs were found. Gawker has mocked the site.
Ceglowski, a 35-year-old freelance computer programmer who lives in San Francisco, does not consider himself a journalist. Journalists, he says, go out and gather information and then use that information to tell a story. "I sit in my underpants and have a database that fills up," he said.
But Ceglowski is careful to preserve his independence. There are ads on his site, but they are handled by Google. "So I have no say in what ads will run on the site, except for the ability to turn off ads altogether if I choose," Ceglowski told me in an e-mail. "I like this arrangement because it puts me at arm's length from sponsors."
Accuracy of bedbug reports raises questions
No one has collected more anecdotal information about bedbug infestations than Ceglowski, who makes them available in a searchable database and a series of searchable maps. The reports come from all over the place, more than 20,000 reports about 12,000 locations at last count.
Ceglowski tries to weed out prank claims, but otherwise posts whatever comes in. The person making the report is not named on the site, but Ceglowski insists on having an e-mail address he can respond to if a post draws questions.
And then he tells those reading his site to beware. One of the questions in the site's FAQ is: "How can you be sure these reports are true?"
The answer? "We can't — this is the Internet!" the site reads. "All our bedbug reports are submitted through this site, and have not been vetted for accuracy. We do our best to flag posts that have been disputed, but we remind our readers to take things with a grain of salt."
That has not been enough to stop local reporters from using Ceglowski's site as the basis for stories about bedbug infestations in their communities. Their reports rarely have the sort of cautionary red flags that Ceglowski waves on his website.
A recent headline in the (New Orleans) Times-Picayune read: "Bedbug problem creeping toward New Orleans." The story was based on a search of Ceglowski's registry. "Despite multiple bedbug reports in the case of several hotels, the suspected infestations couldn't be definitively confirmed," the story read.
The website for the Fox television affliate in Detroit recently used the registry to report that Detroit is "one of the top cities with bedbug infestations along with New York and Philadelphia." And a Las Vegas television station reported that it had searched the site and found 41 Las Vegas establishments had reports of bedbugs. "The bedbug reports are not confirmed by an independent source," read the report.
Ceglowski's website was discussed during a recent media ethics seminar hosted by Poynter at Kent State University. Sarah Cohen, a journalism professor at Duke University and former database editor for The Washington Post, said she would have difficulty publishing data from the site. "Some of it's true and some of it's not," she said. "You would have absolutely no idea if any of this were true."
Most troubling, Cohen said, was not knowing what information might be missing from the site. Those who report bedbug sightings are motivated — by anger, public service, fear — to take the time to file a report. How many others are not filling reports, either because they don't know about the site or because they lack adequate motivation?
"How do you judge what's not on it rather than what's on it?" Cohen asked.
Adrian Holovaty of EveryBlock.com, a member of Poynter's national advisory boad, did not have the same reservations.
"When you design a system like this, you have to set the proper expectations," Holovaty said during the panel discussion. "It should be very clear that, hey, this is only stuff that's reported to us by these random people. It's not complete. It's just basic Internet 101, setting expectations and being fair and honest about it."
Daren Brabham, a University of North Carolina journalism professor who did his dissertation on crowdsourcing, says the site advises users about the possible shortcomings of the information. He says the warnings should probably be featured on the home page, but he's impressed by what Ceglowski has assembled.
"I like the site and I like what it's doing," Brabham told me. "It's pretty straightforward."
Anonymity worries hoteliers
The volume of reports he is receiving makes it impossible to verify the accuracy of each post, says Ceglowski, who frequently gets complaints from hotel and apartment owners. He says he urges them to post their side of the story, but is reluctant to take a post off the site.
"The sheer volume of submissions vouches that something is going on," Ceglowski said.
Ceglowski says he allows people to post reports anonymously because people fear retribution from landlords.
"That's the main reason," he said. "A secondary reason is that not many people want bedbugs coming up when you search their name."
Kathryn Potter, senior vice president of marketing and communications for the American Hotel & Lodging Association, says hotel owners and managers are bothered by the anonymity and the lack of a vetting process.
"I'm hearing a lot of angst from our hotel companies," Potter told me. "Their currency is their good reputation."
Ceglowski allows hotels to post a "dispute" to a report about their hotel. But Potter says that's not always sufficient. "Once your name is up on the bedbug registry, it's very difficult for hotels to overcome that," she said.
After his own encounter with bedbugs, Ceglowski did a lot of reading and concluded that hotels are often victims as well.
"It was pretty obvious from what I read that hotels were powerless to prevent the problem (though they could take steps to treat it once it happened)…" he told me in an e-mail. "The only hotels I have animosity for are the small group that knowingly allows infestations to persist, either because they serve an impoverished clientele, or because they deal mostly with tourists who only spend a night or two and never come back."
Public service does not equal journalism
Brabham said sites such as bedbugregistry.com — put together by someone with a very narrow, but intense interest in a subject — are increasingly part of the journalism mix whether their creators consider themselves journalists or not.
"I think that's what makes journalists and journalism professors nervous," he said, noting that the people behind such sites may not place much importance on traditional journalistic values such as verifying information before publishing and being transparent about the source of the information.
"It's up to sites like these to see themselves as serving a public information service," Brabham said. "When somebody denies they are a journalist when they are doing journalistic work, it's a little problematic."
Ceglowski has mixed feelings about such concerns. He says he's not comfortable with people using his site as a "black list" for hotels, but says there is a need for the information his site provides.
"This is a good example of where the Internet can do something that wasn't possible before," he told me.
Ceglowski says there is a cultural divide between people who are comfortable with the Internet and those who are not. "If you go into the site with your critical thinking facilities turned on, it's extremely helpful," he said.
Coverage misses subtleties
Ceglowski deals regularly with reporters for traditional media outlets, and he's often disappointed by their work. He says everyone seems to write the same article at the same time; they often fail to get basic facts correct; and it's not uncommon for them to use a photo of something other than a bedbug.
"The time pressure they operate under, especially for TV reporters, is so ridiculous," he said. "They take a lot of shortcuts. It's been a frustration to some of the entomologists I talk to."
Brabham said news and information consumers must be smarter, and more diligent, about determining what sources they can rely on in what he calls the "Wild West" of today's journalism landscape.
But Brabham admits he probably would not stay in a hotel listed on bedbugregistry.com — despite qualms he has about whether the information on the site is accurate.
"Unfortunately, this sort of stuff does have an impact," he said, "even on people like me who are trained to look at information."

What is so important about today? It is the day that Roo finds out who her teacher will be next year. With each step up through the school from Nursery to Reception, Reception to Year 1 and now finally Year 1 to Year 2 both Roo and I have had one out of the two teachers in our minds as our 'favourite'.
Moving from Nursery to Reception she had Miss A and Mrs B, who even now she will go and say hello to and ask for a cuddle. I owe so much to those two wonderful ladies. They taught her to not only read, write and count but so much more. They helped develop her personality into the helpful, caring and sometimes cheeky little girl she is today.
Roo's move from Reception to Year 1 was slightly more of a change as she said goodbye to the Early Years Foundation stage and to the right hand side of the school she had known for 2 1/2 years. Mrs M and Miss P have molded her mind into wanting to know more about maths, reading and endangered animals. They have helped her develop boundaries and understand good choices from bad ones.
Throughout her time in Nursery, Reception and Year 1 one thing has remained constant… her best friend Niamh. So as another school year end fast approached it is once again time to find out which teacher she will have next year and most importantly whether she will be in the same class as Niamh.

Bashar Assad to Charlie Rose: 'If it Bleeds it Leads'
NEXT:Live From New York, it's Jeanine Pirro

By Chris Ariens on Mar. 29, 2015 - 7:55 PM Comment
In his interview with Syrian President Bashar Assad, part of which aired tonight on "60 Minutes," Charlie Rose asked about the weapons of war used in Syrian during the four year conflict. Assad used the opporutnitie to take a shot at the media, saying the coverage of the use of chlorine gas, and barrel bombs "is part of the malicious propaganda against Syria."
Rose then asked why Assad doesn't allow inspectors to come in to determine that these weapson aren't being used. His response included a line that has its origins in local TV news, when the newscasts became a recap of the nightly police blotter.
We always ask a delegation, impartial delegation to come and investigate. But I mean logically and realistically [chlorine gas] cannot be used as a military. This is part of the propaganda because, as you know, in the media when it bleeds it leads. And they always look for something that bleeds, which is the chlorine gas and the barrel bombs.

Evaluation of serologic methods for the detection of antibodies to encephalomyocarditis virus in swine fetal thoracic fluids.
H. S. Kim, Han S Joo, W. T. Christianson, Robert B Morrison
Veterinary Population Medicine
Hemagglutination inhibition (HI) and agar gel immunodiffusion (AGID) tests were compared to the serum neutralization (SN) test to evaluate their ability to detect antibodies to encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV). Swine fetal thoracic fluids of known EMCV SN antibody titers (200 samples greater than or equal to 1:2, 100 samples less than 1:2) were selected from a collection of field cases. The thoracic fluids were tested for EMCV antibodies by HI and AGID, and the results were compared to those of the SN test. Of 200 SN antibody-positive samples, 183 (91.5%) and 173 (86.5%) were positive in HI and AGID tests, respectively. Of 100 SN-negative samples, 81 (81%) and 94 (94%) were negative in HI and AGID tests, respectively. Agreement between the tests was analyzed by calculating Kappa values. The values were 0.73 between SN and HI tests and 0.77 between SN and AGID tests, indicating very good to excellent agreement for HI and AGID tests with the SN test. Of 200 SN-positive samples, 19 samples with low SN titers (1:2-1:16) were further tested by Western immunoblotting, and all were confirmed as positive. Interpretation of the present results suggests that both HI and AGID tests can be used as alternatives to the SN test.

India doesn't want peace in Pakistan, says Sheikh Rasheed after Quetta blast
Thursday Apr 22, 2021
Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed.
Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed says anti-Pakistan elements want to destroy the country's peace.
Says there were threats for such an attack in Quetta, Peshawar, Karachi, Islamabad and Rawalpindi.
Chinese Ambassador Nong Rong, who was staying at the same hotel, was not present at the time of the blast.
ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed on Thursday said that India does not want to see peace in Pakistan, but all their attempts to create unrest in the country will fail.
The interior minister, in a statement after a blast in Quetta, said that this is the safest area in the city and foreigners also stay in this hotel.
At least five people were killed and 10 injured in the explosion along the city's Zarghun Road Wednesday.
Rasheed said that a vehicle somehow managed to enter the hotel, adding that "hotel security [staff] is fine, one or two personnel are injured."
"There must be some breach in security and that is why an explosive-laden car was able to enter."

The federal minister added that India does not want peace in Pakistan, but their attempt to damage Pakistan will fail.
"Anti-Pakistan elements want to damage the country's peace. Terrorists shall meet their end."
Sharing further details on the law and order situation in the country, he said that there were threats for such an attack in Quetta, Peshawar, Karachi, Islamabad and Rawalpindi.
Chinese Ambassador Nong Rong, who was staying at the same hotel, was not present at the time of the blast, Rasheed added. "He was attending a function at another place in the city."
'Primary responsibility of security rests with the hotel'
IG Balochistan Muhammad Tahir Rai spoke to the media and said experts in the police force were conducting an investigation, adding that they would soon make public the findings of the probe.
Rai said the blast had damaged five to six vehicles in the parking area.
Balochistan government spokesperson Liaquat Shahwani spoke to Geo News to condemn the incident, describing it as a "terrorist attack" committed by those who did not wish to see Balochistan prosper.
He said an investigation was being carried out and the perpetrators of the blast will not be able to escape the law.
When asked whether the blast resulted due to a security lapse on part of the government, he said the primary responsibility of security rested with the hotel.
Shahwani said the hotel had its own scanners through which guests were inspected thoroughly and that vehicles entering and exiting the parking lot also had to pass through barricades, before they were checked for any explosive item.
He said the investigation into the bomb blast will take note of loopholes.
When asked whether there were any foreign delegations present inside the hotel when the blast occurred, Shahwani said there was only one "luxurious hotel" in Quetta where envoys and diplomats came to have hi-tea.

Long distance relationships, an increasingly common phenomenon enabled by advancements in technology, are some of the most difficult types of relationships to maintain. LA-based indie group Local Natives addresses the emotional struggles involving long distance relationships with the single "Coins" off of their recently released third studio album Sunlit Youth. Starting off with a soulful and stripped down guitar and piano duet punctuated by simple bass guitar, kick drum, and snare drum half notes, "Coins" is a passionate affair, accentuated by lead crooner Taylor Rice's winding, emotive vocals. The song transitions from a classic singer/songwriter feel to a more heavily electronic version of the group's signature full-band indie rock sound that has propelled them to success in the past. "Coins" is an instrumentally rudimentary track, focusing primarily on Rice's vocals, both melodically and complexity-wise.

Pragmatic Environmentalism
By Giving List Staff | January 2, 2021

In 2011,long before Covid-19 forever changed how we think of nonprofit fundraising events, Santa Barbara-based Heal the Ocean held an "imaginary gala" with "invisible" seats at "dream" tables. On the invitation, super booster Julia Louis-Dreyfus crowed that the event would be "the most unreal party" the organization ever had.
Not only did Heal the Ocean save money on producing the event, but also exceeded its fundraising goal. This no frills, practical approach is the environmental advocacy group's calling card.
"We are not complainers," says Executive Director Hillary Hauser. "We focus on infrastructure, pipes, waste disposal, and sometimes it strikes us funny to realize we are very often just basic plumbers."
Maybe so, but plumbers with an incredible track record of pragmatic change, using small charitable donations to win significant sums of public dollars to, well, heal the ocean.
Hillary Hauser and Julia Louis-Dreyfus
The organization was launched in 1998, when Hauser caught wind of something rotten in the waters off surf-famous Rincon Point. The clutch of homes there all relied on septic systems. As tidewater rose and fell the systems steadily leached effluent into the waters – causing surfers to get sick. An early environmental DNA study, the first of its kind and funded by Heal the Ocean, found that 20% of the bacterial pollution in the lagoon there was "human/fecal." By 2013, after an epic saga of bureaucratic red tape and setbacks, Heal the Ocean had not only secured sewer systems for Rincon, but 130 homes seven miles up and down the coast as well, radically improving ocean water quality, which has made surfing safer – and more fun.
More recently, Hauser and company translated a $10,000 investment in a knowledgeable consultant that helped to sweep into law a 2017 bill authored by HTO ally State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson that allocates $2 million per year to cap old oil wells and other hazards along California's coastline for a total of $14 million. Serving as cheerleaders to the State Lands Commission, Heal the Ocean led the charge in 2018 for the plugging of the notorious, leaking Becker Well on Summerland Beach, and for 2020, they're inspiring the plugging of two more leaking wells: Treadwell and NorthStar – scheduled for October 2020.
For Hauser and her team it has never been about lawsuits or quick fixes. It's about finding solid strategies to heal this neck of California's coastline.
"It's really about practical solutions," Hauser says. "We always say that to get something fixed, you have to figure out how much it costs, then how to pay for it, then go get the money and just do it. I think that's why people like us."

Heal the Ocean focuses on wastewater infrastructure – sewers and septic systems – as well as ocean dumping practices that have contributed to ocean pollution. We are focused on Santa Barbara County, but our methods are now serving as a model for other coastal communities across the country.
They Heal Our Ocean
I've surfed for years at the Rincon, and am in the water all the time. It is such a relief to know that the septic systems are gone, that we're not swimming in polluted water like we were doing day in and day out, getting sinus, ear, nose, eye infections and who knows what else. Yes, there are other bad things that get into the ocean, but just knowing that this one big source of contamination has been removed is huge. This is one of the most popular surf spots in California, world known, and the legacy left to this piece of ocean will be there forever. It's so interesting to hear the younger surfers today, who don't know about the battles Heal the Ocean went through to get this project done. They were little kids at the time. Think of it, it's now history!
– Heather Hudson, surfer
Heal the Ocean's pragmatic approach ensures that any donation the organization receives will be returned in multiples.
A $25,000 investment in aerial infrared photography showing leaking oil fields off the coast of Summerland was the proof then-Governor Jerry Brown needed to sign Senate Bill 44, which allocated $14 million towards capping aging wells along the California coast.
A $5,000 investment in a consultant allowed HTO to snag $150,000 in state funds to pay for a conceptual engineering study for a recycled water facility in Goleta, and another $150,000 for state-funded conceptual engineering plans for a recycled water facility in Santa Ynez. These studies and conceptual engineering plans have put these agencies first in line for state funding help for the actual building of the facilities. So HTO effectively turned $5,000 into a potential of 50 million dollars.
