What is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game?
A massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) is a combined genre of video games that combines the features of massive online games and role-playing games. Often they take place in a browser form and do not need to be downloaded and installed: the player only needs to register on the game's website.
The main feature of the genre is the interaction of a large number of real players within one so-called persistent state world (PSW), which continues to change and develop even if the player does not interact with it. That is, when players enter the game after a break, there may be changes that affect their characters.
The essence of the game is that players choose a character who often belongs to a fantasy or sci-fi setting, and begins to explore the game world, gradually improving the characteristics of their character, increasing their influence, conquering new lands, and so on.
Is it hard to develop a MMORPG?
While maintaining a dynamic persistent state world requires a certain amount of knowledge, resources, and dexterity, MMORPG game development isn't nearly as dauntingly difficult as is commonly believed. The main task is to make sure that the servers can withstand the influx of hundreds of thousands and even millions of people. To do this, your backend must be able to scale according to the number of players that need to be supported during their gaming session. In addition, it is important to constantly fill the world with interesting content: this means that work on it is constantly ongoing.
Why is it expensive to develop an MMORPG?
MMORPG in development can be too tough for many. Unlike other genres, MMORPGs have many more variables that are difficult to keep track of. It is important to navigate the special software that allows you to make online games. It is important to constantly maintain the server and client application, providing it with much more content than is required, for example, for a simple single-player RPG.
MMORPG game design also has specific features that must be well understood in order to create a competitive game: there are many analogues on the market, and it is quite difficult to stand out.
It is very difficult to guarantee the balance of an ever-changing world, and it is absolutely impossible to find all the bugs. In addition, it is necessary to maintain the security of accounts and prevent attempts to cheat, which completely break the logic of multiplayer games.
MMORPG development actually never stops: it requires constant updates, fixes, support and new content. Only a company with extensive experience can create MMORPGs. Good MMORPG developers are people who not only understand the technical and artistic intricacies of online games, but who have played the most iconic MMORPGs and have highlighted their main advantages and disadvantages.

HP to Buy LeftHand Networks for $360 Million
By Stephen Lawson
Hewlett-Packard will buy LeftHand Networks for US$360 million to fill in its storage virtualization and iSCSI lines with products for medium-size companies and remote offices and branches.
The Boulder, Colorado, company was an early developer of SANs (storage area networks) built around iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface). It sells software that runs on existing storage and industry-standard server platforms. It was founded in 1999. The purchase agreement, announced Wednesday, is expected to close in HP's fiscal 2009 first quarter, which will end in January.
SANs and storage virtualization help enterprises centralize their storage capacity and allocate it as needed, potentially cutting costs and energy consumption. LeftHand will help HP extend its virtualization offerings to the midmarket, the companies said in a news release. Among the features of LeftHand's products are data replication for backup and disaster recovery, and an "intelligent cloning technology" that can reduce the amount of required disk space by as much as 97 percent, the companies said.
LeftHand's products already work with many of HP's, including Proliant servers, BladeSystem platforms, ProCurve networks and Insight Control management software.
LeftHand has 215 employees, and its products are distributed by more than 500 resellers and distributors around the world. With about 3,000 customers, its products are installed at more than 11,000 sites, the companies said.

Turkey says ground forces are advancing in northern Syria
CEYLANPINAR, Turkey (AP) — Turkish ground forces pressed their advance against Kurdish fighters in northern Syria on Thursday, Turkey's Defense Ministry said, launching airstrikes and unleashing artillery shelling on Syrian towns and villages the length of its border.
Syrians flee shelling by Turkish forces in Ras al Ayn, northeast Syria, Wednesday, Oct. 9, 2019. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced Wednesday the start of a Turkish military operation against Kurdish fighters in northeastern Syria.

Turkey launched a military operation Wednesday against Kurdish fighters in northeastern Syria with a series of airstrikes hitting a town on Syria's northern border.
With airstrikes and artillery, Turkey has launched an offensive aimed at crushing Kurdish fighters in northern Syria.;

The Turkish invasion, now in its second day, has been widely condemned around the world. In northern Syria, residents of the border areas scrambled in panic on Wednesday as they tried to get out on foot, in cars and with rickshaws piled with mattresses and a few belongings.
It was a wrenchingly familiar scenario for the many who, only a few years ago, had fled the advances on their towns and villages by the Islamic State group. A Kurdish-led group and Syrian activists claimed Thursday that despite the heavy barrage, Turkish troops had not made much progress on several fronts they had opened over the past hours. But their claims could not be independently verified and the situation on the ground was difficult to assess.
Turkey began its offensive in northern Syria on Wednesday against Kurdish fighters with airstrikes and artillery shelling, before ground troops began crossing the border later in the day. U.S. troops pulled back from the area, paving the way for Turkey's assault on Syrian Kurdish forces.
Turkey has long threatened to attack the Kurdish fighters whom Ankara considers terrorists allied with a Kurdish insurgency in Turkey. Expectations of an invasion increased after President Donald Trump's abrupt decision Sunday to essentially abandon the Syrian Kurdish fighters, leaving them vulnerable to a Turkish offensive.
The Kurds, who have been America's only allies in Syria fighting the Islamic State group, stopped on Thursday all their operations against the IS extremists in order to focus on fighting advancing Turkish troops, Kurdish and U.S. officials said.
The Turkish Defense Ministry statement Thursday did not provide further details on the offensive but shared a brief video of commandos in action. The ministry said Turkish jets and artillery had struck 181 targets east of the Euphrates River in Syria since the incursion started.
Mustafa Bali, a spokesman for the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, said their fighters have repelled Turkish forces ground attacks. "No advance as of now," he tweeted Thursday. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a war monitor that has activists throughout the country, said Turkish troops tried to push ahead on several fronts under the cover of airstrikes and artillery shelling but made no tangible progress. The Observatory said that since Turkey began its operation, seven civilians have been killed.
Turkey says it intends to create a "safe zone" that would push the Kurdish militia away from its border and eventually allow the repatriation of up to 2 million Syrian refugees in the area. Trump's decision to have American troops step aside in northeastern Syria was a major shift in U.S. policy and drew opposition from all sides at home. It also marked a stark change in rhetoric by Trump, who during a press conference in New York last year vowed to stand by the Kurds, who have been America's only allies in Syria fighting IS.
Trump said at the time that the Kurds "fought with us" and "died with us," and insisted that America would never forget. After Erdogan announced the offensive, Trump called the operation "a bad idea." Later Wednesday, he said he didn't want to be involved in "endless, senseless wars."
Turkey's campaign — in which a NATO member rained down bombs on an area where hundreds of U.S. troops had been stationed — drew immediate criticism and calls for restraint from Europe. Australia on Thursday expressed concerns the Turkish incursion could galvanize a resurgence of the Islamic State group and refused to endorse the close ally U.S. for pulling back its troops from the area. Prime Minister Scott Morrison said he had been in contact with the Turkish and U.S. governments overnight and admitted to being worried about the situation.
In Washington, officials said Wednesday that two British militants believed to be part of an Islamic State cell that beheaded hostages had been moved out of a detention center in Syria and were in U.S. custody.
The two, El Shafee Elsheikh and Alexanda Amon Kotey, along with other British jihadis allegedly made up the IS cell nicknamed "The Beatles" by surviving captives because of their English accents. In 2014 and 2015, the militants held more than 20 Western hostages in Syria and tortured many of them.
The group beheaded seven American, British and Japanese journalists and aid workers and a group of Syrian soldiers, boasting of the butchery in videos released to the world.

Bets, Odds And Predictions On Favorite And Winner Of Euro 2020
The Eurocup, which celebrates its 60th anniversary, has been characterized throughout these years as a tournament in which there have not been too many surprises. However, we can highlight the amazement that the unexpected victories in the European Cup match in Portugal (2016) and Greece (2004) produced us. No situation can be ruled out in any case.
Throughout the history of the Euro, these have been the historical champions: Germany (it has won 3 titles, three runners-up and 3 bronze medals), followed by Spain (3 titles) and France (2 titles).
Which teams have the best chance of winning Euro 2020?
We can determine that these could be the logical favorites, ordered from highest to lowest probability.
The French team is currently the favorite, according to bookmakers, to win the trophy. It is a team with extensive experience in this type of tournament since it should be remembered that they are the current world champions at the 2018 World Cup and runners-up in Europe at Euro 2016.
In addition to experience, the French national team has a high-quality squad in all sections of the field, highlighting players who stand out in Europe such as Mbappe, Griezmann, Kante, Pogba, Varane … In addition, the return of Karim Benzema to the team it has made France's odds of winning the Euro go down even further.
It is the team with the lowest Euro 2021 winning odds.
Euro 2021 – Final winner: France
BETSSON: 5.50
England is a selection of excellent quality that will seek its first European Championship. In the last World Cup in Russia 2018, they managed to reach the semifinals, showing that they are prepared to fight for the big international tournaments.
They have a good squad with essential players in the big European clubs, highlighting Harry Kane, Sterling, Mount, or Maguire. To this is added that it is a competitive block competing at the highest level with Southgate for several years.
Even though they have never won a European Championship and that their team may not be at the level of France, they have shown in the last World Cup and in the Nations Cup (where they finished third) that they must be a team to take into account to win the title in Euro betting.
Euro 2021 – Final winner: England
CASUMO: 6.00
They are probably the best Belgian team in history, which has never won an international trophy. Their best mark in a World Cup was in the last World Cup in Russia 2018, where they reached the semifinals and got the bronze medal. In the last Euro 2016, they reached the quarterfinals, although there is no doubt that the team has been growing since then.
They have had an excellent Eurocup qualification phase, being the best team in it. 10 victories in the 10 games played, the team with the most goals in favor (40) and the least against (3).
If we add to this the high quality of its squad, with players like Romelu Lukaku, Eden Hazard or Kevin de Bruyne, we can say that Belgium is one of the candidate teams to win the trophy without a doubt.

Bookmakers' favorites to win the European title and its odds
In general, bookmakers usually adjust quite well, which are the favorites to win this championship. The Euro Cup winner odds are set well in advance. They are regularly adjusted according to the performance of each team throughout the tournament, as well as the news that appears with each team (calls or injuries of important players).
Below we detail the current favorites for bookmakers in the Euro and the best odds of the Football Euro 2021.
The best bookmakers to bet on the Euro winner
There are some houses better than others for the Euro Cup. Either for its markets, odds, special bets, Superquotas, or functions available to its users. Here are some of them:
The options of Spain in the Eurocup
Luis Enrique unveiled his controversial squad list, with notable absences such as Sergio Ramos, Iago Aspas, and striking presences such as Eric Garcia or Adama Traoré.
However, the Asturian coach has consistently shown that he has enough personality and knowledge to manage his teams without caring about the press's opinion. Therefore, trust in the team is maximum.
Even though a priori seems that Spain is not at the same level as the three favorite European Cup teams, especially France and Belgium, there are arguments to think that it can go far in the European Championship.
The group stage is affordable, and Spain will most likely pass as the group leader. Rivals like Sweden or Slovakia shouldn't pose problems for the Spanish team, and only Poland can be dangerous.
Euro 2021 – Group E Winner: Spain
MARATHON BET: 1.33
Once the group stage was over, his opponent in the Round of 16 would be very affordable too, as he would be the best 3rd among groups A / B / C / D. The bookmakers are clear about it and put Spain as the team with the most options to reach the quarterfinals.
In the quarterfinals, the complex phase of the Eurocup would begin, where France or England are expected to wait.
Therefore, we are facing a very affordable Eurocup for Spain since, in principle, it has a straightforward path to the quarterfinals. Despite the notable absences on Luis Enrique's list, there is no doubt that there are high-level players in Europe such as Gerard Moreno, Busquets, Fabian, or Marcos Llorente.
Euro 2021 – Top scorer: Alvaro Morata
PAF: 26.00
The qualifying phase of the Spanish National Team has been convincing, as Spain remained undefeated and was solid in defense, conceding only 5 goals in 10 games. The lack of goal is probably the main must of La Roja.

What can teams surprise at Euro 2021? In the tournament winner odds, we find striking high odds, where some teams with serious options to go far stand out. In these types of tournaments, the best bets are not always those on the favorites, since surprises are the order of the day.
Starting with Italy, an excellent team that, after failing to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, has returned through the big door to an international tournament. Their qualifying phase has been excellent, with Belgium being the best team with a full of victories, 37 goals scored, and only 4 conceded.
Euro 2021 – Final winner: Italy
BETWAY – 12.00
The selection of Portugal also has an exciting quota. It has a high-quality squad where names such as Cristiano Ronaldo or Bruno Fernandes stand out and that they have also won the last European Championship in 2016 and reached the semifinals in 2012; the European Championship is a trophy where the Portuguese team always shines.
If we look for higher odds, we find solid teams that can make a good tournament, such as Denmark or the Netherlands, although their options are more remote, especially those of the Danes.
Betting on the final
Some bookmakers offer markets to bet on which team will reach the final. In that sense, there are three clear favorites with last odds below 4.00:
Betting on the final of the Eurocup
Will reach the final Share
England 3.60
France 3.60
Belgium 3.75
They coincide with the three favorites to win the title. According to all the expert analyzes, probably the three most potent teams in the tournament and the favorites in the Euro Cup champion odds. But they are not the only ones.
Other teams also have odds close to those of the three favorites. These teams are among the main candidates to win the title both because of the potential of their squad, as well as because of the experience, or the difficulty of the team that has touched them.

Иван Григорьевич Богомолов () — старший сержант Рабоче-крестьянской Красной Армии, участник Великой Отечественной войны, Герой Советского Союза (1943).

Биография
Иван Богомолов родился в 1907 году в деревне Скородумовка (ныне — Лукояновский район Нижегородской области) в крестьянской семье. Получил начальное образование. Остался сиротой в возрасте 16 лет, воспитывал младших сестру и брата. В 1929 году одним из первых в своей деревне вступил в колхоз, где до начала войны был бессменным членом правления, работал конюхом. В начале Великой Отечественной войны был призван на службу в Рабоче-крестьянскую Красную Армию и направлен на фронт. Был тяжело ранен во время Смоленского сражения 1941 года. После выписки из госпиталя Богомолов был направлен на трёхмесячные курсы в Москве. С августа 1942 года вновь на фронте. Участвовал в боях на Брянском и Юго-Западном фронтах, особо отличился во время битвы за Днепр. К октябрю 1943 года старший сержант Иван Богомолов был помощником командира взвода 931-го стрелкового полка 240-й стрелковой дивизии 38-й армии Воронежского фронта.

В ночь со 2 на 3 октября 1943 года, несмотря на массированный вражеский огонь, Богомолов форсировал Днепр и закрепился на его западном берегу. 6 октября во время наступления своего подразделения на село Лютеж Вышгородского района Киевской области Украинской ССР Богомолов лично уничтожил много немецких солдат и офицеров. Попав в окружение, он гранатой уничтожил двух вражеских солдат, а остальных обратил в бегство. Выполнял ответственные задания во время боёв на западном берегу Днепра и на подступах в Киеву. 15 октября 1943 года Богомолов погиб в бою. Похоронен в селе .

Указом Президиума Верховного Совета СССР от 13 ноября 1943 года за «мужество и героизм, проявленные в боях с немецко-фашистскими захватчиками» гвардии капитан Иван Богомолов посмертно был удостоен высокого звания Героя Советского Союза. Также был посмертно награждён орденом Ленина. В честь Богомолова названа школа в его родной деревне.

I loved having a pool tournament with hostel guests. I felt it brought everyone to the common room to socailse and meet each other, and it was fun! The smoking area being right at the top of the stairs allows smoke to drift down the hallway and a lot of the hostel smells like smoke because of it. As a non-smoker, I found this to be gross smelling smoke as soon as I wake up.
Blue Mountain was the first hostel that I stayed in during my two week tour in China. The hostel has quite a easygoing atmosphere, and the bar area is a great place to meet people from all walks of life.The music blaring in the background of the bar can get irritating at times though. The room I stayed in had two beds. It was quite small and could have done with a bit of renovation. Ultimately, the proximity of the hostel to the subway station was the selling point.
The hostel has a water dispenser at the kitchen but they disabled the warm water tap, allowing just hot water. While the reception sell drinking water at 3 times market price. Compared to my 1st stay here 5 years ago, the facilities are a bit worn, while pricing has gone up. Some refurbishments due.
One staff is very unhelpful. Should b more friendly and thoughtful for others.


Lloyd Marcus -- Will We Allow One Man to Fundamentally Transform America?
WILL WE ALLOW ONE MAN TO FUNDAMENTALLY TRANSFORM AMERICA?
After six years of putting up with his eldest son actively working with those crazy racist white folks in the Tea Party against the first black president, my 86 year old black dad has finally begun to understand why.
A lifelong Democrat, dad contributed to the GOP shocking victory in Maryland by voting Republican in the 2014 midterm. It has taken me six years to convince Dad that Conservatism is much better for everyone than Liberalism. Dad is old school with basic beliefs. Democrats are for the working class little guy. Republicans are for the rich. Oh, and Republicans are also racists.
So, you can imagine the challenges I faced trying to re-educated him. Dad believed the Tea Party was racist because he heard it on CNN. I said, "Dad, I travel the country on the Tea Party Express tour bus. And, they allow me to sit upfront. However, I prefer riding in the back because there is a large TV back there and I can watch all the football games." Dad chuckled.
I know what you are thinking. Lloyd, why haven't you turned your dad on to Fox News? I have tried. I do not know why he rejects Fox and conservative talk radio. Still, I am working on it folks. I am working on it.
With the biased MSM as his main news source, Dad is a low-info voter. I have been working on Dad, educating him one issue at a time. Dad is a good guy, warm and compassionate. I am trying to get him to use his common sense and instincts for right and wrong rather than getting caught up in the Democrats' and MSM emotional manipulative spin on issues.
We chatted about illegal immigration. Dad has been a Christian pastor for over 50 years. He is still the pastor of four churches; driving several miles to visit the sick and shut-ins.
"Dad, remember when mom used to get annoyed at people who used you and your church?" Dad chuckled. I do not recall Dad ever turning away anyone in need.
Mom was frustrated with people who did not want to contribute in anyway to Dad's ministry; never attending a single service or listening to a sermon. All they were interested in was the freebies available at the church; food, clothing and so on. They wanted Rev. "My-cus-sin" (Marcus), never did get his name right, to perform their weddings and funerals for free. They expected Dad to show up at their homes or hospitals in the middle of the night in times of crisis, despite never setting one foot in Dad's church. Still, Dad faithfully did it all. He was functioning on a higher level; God's Love.
I told Dad that the illegals flooding across our borders have the same we're-just-here-to-take mindset that frustrated mom. They do not want to assimilate. Heck, they could not give a rat's derriere about what it means to be an American. Illegals proudly fly their Mexican flag and are offended when our kids wear American flag t-shirts to school on Cinco de Mayo. Illegals receive entitlements that are unavailable to U.S. Citizens. They have no desire, nor is there a pressing need for them to learn English.
While liberals claim that poor humble illegals are quaking in their boots "hiding in the shadows", illegals are boldly and arrogantly protesting in our streets, demanding entitlements and that they not be deported. Illegals claim a moral right to be in our country, while blatantly breaking and ignoring our laws.
The spin promoted from the bully pulpits of the MSM and White House is anyone who does not turn a blind eye to illegals breaking our laws, making demands and abusing our system is a hardhearted racist.
Meanwhile, a mysterious polio-like illness has paralyzed 75 kids across America. A rare Enterovirus D68 is causing an outbreak across 45 states sickening nearly 700, mostly children. Illegal alien minors are also spreading dengue fever, swine flu, tuberculosis and possibly Ebola. Obama's open border policy has delivered over 300,000 illegals, 75,000 of them are children who directly entered schools across America without proper examinations and so on.
It has been exposed that many of the illegals are gang members and drug dealers.
As inconceivable as this is to imagine, it does appear that one man, exploiting the historical aspect of his presidency to break the law at will, may be allowed to fundamentally transform America. Obama via executive order unilaterally imposed amnesty for 5 million illegals, plus the 75,000 children who invaded our country and their parents.
If Republicans do not stop Obama's insanity, one characterless out-of-control arrogant evil liar will fundamentally transform America. That is totally unacceptable.
Years ago, I wrote a satirical article to illustrate illegal immigration and how we are expected to deal with it. I was shocked that many people thought my fictional scenario was true. Their reaction spoke to how crazy, brain dead and emotion driven the topic of illegal immigration has become and what people think of our government.
In my fictional parable, I came home to discover that a family had taken up residency in my backyard storage shed. Displaying remarkable arrogance and a sense of entitlement the squatters refused to leave arguing that they were simply seeking a better life. Their TV, computers and etc were powered with an electrical cord plugged into the exterior outlet of my home.
Infuriated, I asked the police and City Hall to remove the trespassers from my property. Upon local government discovering the race of my invaders, I was accused of being selfish, cruel and using the law to hide my hateful racism. Suddenly, I began witnessing a migration of my trespassers' relatives and friends into my backyard; littering my property with tents, makeshift shelters and old vehicles.
The city cited me for numerous code violations which included all the dangerous electric cords and bizarre hook-ups into my electrical power source. I was ordered to immediately upgrade my electrical power to meet the needs of my current and potential new residents.
From that point in my imaginary tale, the pandering to my trespassers by my local government got even more outrageous. You get the idea. Folks, this is exactly what is happening in our national home, America. Illegals are showing up and making outrageous demands. The Obama Administration is siding with them. The reality of the situation is just that simple.

O caburé-acanelado (Aegolius harrissi), é uma espécie de ave estrigiforme pertencente à família Strigidae. Outros nomes para a espécie incluem caburé‑acanelado, caburé‑canela e coruja‑canelão.

Distribuição
O caburé-acanelado é encontrado em diversas regiões da América do Sul. No Brasil, é encontrado   nos estados de Maranhão Pernambuco, Sergipe e outros estados do nordeste, em múltiplas partes do estado de São Paulo, no Paraná e no bioma do Pampa, no Sul do Brasil.

A ave também é encontrada na Colômbia, no Peru e na Argentina.

Taxonomia
O ornitólogo John Cassin (1813‑1869), natural dos Estados Unidos, descreveu Nyctale harrisii em 1848 homenageando o naturalista Edward Harris (1799‑1863),  seu conterrâneo da Filadélfia. Como incentivador da ornitologia, Harris também foi anteriormente prestigiado com duas espécies descritas pelo naturalista norte‑americano John James Audubon (1785‑1851). A publicação original foi organizada em fascículos, fazendo com que o volume encadernado ao final tivesse dois anos estampados em sua capa: 1848 e 1849. O fascículo nº 7 foi distribuído em junho de 1848 contendo a descrição, sendo esta data citada para a descrição da espécie por alguns autores.

Cassin baseou‑se em um espécime obtido pelo taxidermista nova‑iorquino John G. Bell (1812‑1889), que não soube especificar a localidade de origem deste material, apenas indicando ser da América do Sul. A primeira ilustração da ave foi publicada logo depois, asseme‑lhando‑se ao espécime de sexo indeterminado usado na descrição e tombado na Academia de Ciências Naturais da Filadélfia (USA) sob o número ANSP 2723. Diante da imprecisão na procedência do holótipo, a Colômbia acabou associada como sua pátria típica após o conhecimento dos primeiros exemplares de A. harrisii com indicação do país de origem, com alguns casos onde a etiqueta desta espécie incluía somente tal informação (e.g. FMNH 13714).

No começo  do século XIX havia remessas comerciais de aves colombianas taxidermizadas para o exterior sem etiquetagem apropriada, sendo a maioria obtida por caçadores treinados pelo explorador francês Justin Goudot, cujas atividades neste país se iniciaram por volta de 1825. Somente a partir de 1849, após a descrição de A. harrisii, o ornitólogo francês Adolphe Delattre (1805‑1854) começou a coletar as primeiras aves na Colômbia que foram devidamente etiquetadas (op. cit.). Um antigo espécime atribuído para "Amer. mer. Brasilia" teria origem no Brasil, e, este se encontra depositado no Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, em Leiden, Holanda (RMNH 88278). Contudo, sua origem é indicada para a Colômbia, tendo sido negociado pelo comerciante holandês Gustav Adolph Frank (1808‑1880).

Uma lista sinonímica foi organizada para a espécie em 1875 e hoje são reconhecidas duas subespécies além da nominal:

 Aegolius harrisii iheringi (Sharpe, 1899)
 Aegolius harrisii dabbenei (Olrog, 1979)

Gisella jheringi foi o nome escolhido em 1899 pelo londrino Richard Bowdler Sharpe (1847‑1909), curador de aves do British Museum, para nomear a espécie baseada em um exemplar enviado em 1898 por Hermann von Ihering (1850‑1930), então diretor do Museu Paulista, Sharpe entendeu erroneamente que a ave procedia de São Paulo, tendo sido corrigido pelo próprio Ihering (1900), que informou como origem do espécime a colônia de São Lourenço do Sul, no Rio Grande do Sul, onde fora coletado pelo pesquisador alemão Christian Enslen (1854‑1930). Ihering mencionou outro espécime de São Paulo tombado no Museu Paulista (MZUSP 9705), o que pode ter relação com o mal entendido.

Em 1979, o pesquisador sueco Claës Christian Olrog (1912‑1985) descreveu a subespécie Aegolius harrisi dabbenei tendo como holótipo uma fêmea procedente de Concepción, na província de Tucumán, Argentina, coletada em 1920 por Juan Mogensen e tombada na Coleção Ornitológica Miguel Lillo (COML 7186). Na ocasião, foram examinados mais seis parátipos de Tucumán, um de Salta e três de Jujuy, outras duas localidades argentinas. O ornitólogo italiano Roberto Dabbene (1864‑1938) foi homenageado por Olrog por ter percebido diferenças dos espécimes de Tucumán em relação aos de Misiones e sudeste do Brasil.
