Many of the Microsoft AD cmdlets have a –Filter and an –LDAPFilter parameter. So what's the difference?
Language syntax. The PowerShell Expression Language syntax provides rich type-conversion support for value types received by the Filter parameter. The syntax uses an in-order representation, which means that the operator is placed between the operand and the value. For more information about the Filter parameter, see about_ActiveDirectory_Filter.
Specifies an LDAP query string that is used to filter Active Directory objects. You can use this parameter to run your existing LDAP queries. The Filter parameter syntax supports the same functionality as the LDAP syntax. For more information, see the Filter parameter description and the about_ActiveDirectory_Filter.
Hello, sandwich fans! It's been awhile since I've written, but I have some fresh deli meat for you today. If you recall, last year I wrote a blog post about setting up VMware, Synology, and iSCSI MPIO. It turns out to have been my most-read post so far, for which I thank you. Since I've gotten such positive feedback, today I'm going to show you a similar setup, but this time I'm going to use NFS instead of iSCSI.
I often use the EMP and DEPT tables for test and demonstration purposes. Both these tables are owned by the SCOTT user, together with two less frequently used tables: BONUS and SALGRADE. Execute the below code snippets to create and seed the EMP and DEPT tables in your own schema. The BONUS and SALGRADE tables are included as well, but are commented out. The DDL (data definition language) part creates the tables, the DML (data manipulation language) part inserts the data.
MultiPoint Server (MPS) is a technology and solution based on Windows Server and Remote Desktop Services. MPS was originally built for use in the classrooms and educational institutions and It allows you to provide low-cost sharing between MPS and user stations. User stations can be consist of only monitor, keyboard, mouse (zero clients) and be connected to MPS through USB (usb hubs), video cables or through LAN (RDP-over-LAN, if clients are not zero. for example, laptops, thin clients and etc..). MPS uses some of the RDS services (by default): RD Session Host and RD Licensing Server.
First version of MPS was released in February, 2010 . In MPS 2010 you can connect stations and host only through USB hubs and video ports.
Ability to use LAN between user stations and MPS was added only to the next version – MPS 2011 released in March, 2011.

The Independent Monitoring Board (IMB) at a South Gloucestershire prison is currently look-ing for new members.
HMP Leyhill is situated at Tortworth, close to Junction 14 of the M5 and caters for adult male prisoners mainly being prepared for release and resettlement. It's an Open Prison, on an attrac-tive rural site.
Members of the IMB monitoring team are totally independent of the Prison and Probation Ser-vice. The purpose of their monitoring is to check that proper standards of care and decency are maintained and that prisoners are being prepared for release by an effective programme of reha-bilitation and resettlement. Their role is very different from that of Prison Visitors.
The Board has access to Leyhill at any time of day or night. Members observe all parts of the prison, talking to prisoners, staff and monitoring the full range of prison life. Individual mem-bers usually visit 2 or 3 times a month. The Board meets monthly and discusses current issues with the Prison Governor. The Board is required to submit an Annual Report to the Secretary of State for Justice. This receives a detailed response and is subsequently published.
For someone wanting to get involved in their local community, this is an ideal opportunity to do something a little bit different, potentially challenging and undoubtedly, vitally important. The IMB acts as an independent voice in a closed community.
Membership is a voluntary role for which all necessary training is provided and expenses are paid. Applicants need to be over 18 and should live within 25 miles of the prison. Members come from all walks of life and formal qualifications are not required. Useful Information about the IMB Person Specification, Application Form and Application Guidance can be found at https://www.imb.org.uk/join-now.
Once an Application form has been completed and submitted ,all candidates will be invited to make a preliminary visit to the prison prior to interview. The recruitment round starts on Mon-day 18th February 2019 and completed Applications must be submitted by Monday 25th March 2019. Please quote Recruitment Campaign Reference 898/Leyhill/2019 on all correspondence and forms.

News: The Sleeping Announce First Show in Nearly a Decade
Post-punk group The Sleeping have announced their first show in nearly 10 years. This show will take place at Brooklyn's Saint Vitus Bar on Friday, February 17 with tickets going on sale on Friday, January 13 at noon EST.
According to The Sleeping vocalist Doug Robinson, there will be a "major announcement" during the show.
"It feels like it has been forever, but it's finally here, and we're finally able to share… our first show in almost a decade. What better way to make up for long lost time. We invite you to come be a part of this very special evening at the legendary Saint Vitus Bar. One epic night. Original lineup. You really won't want to miss this show and the major announcement that comes with it."
The Sleeping formed in Long Island, NY, in 2003. The original members, Cameron Keym, Sal Mignano, and Joe Zizzo, founded the band from the remains of Skycamefalling, a dissolved metalcore group, before taking Doug Robinson, formerly of the band Stillwelle, as their vocalist. The Sleeping have since toured with many different artists. That list includes Jimmy Eat World, Senses Fail, and Taking Back Sunday.
The band released four full-length albums and an EP between 2006 and 2010 under the Victory Records label. Beyond this, their music can be found on various video game soundtracks. These include Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam and Guitar Hero III, among others.
The Sleeping will be playing alongside Death Spiral at Saint Vitus Bar in Brooklyn, NY, starting at 7:00 p.m.

The Children's League of Massachusetts presented me with their Legislator of the Year award today at a State House ceremony. Celebrated as part of their "Superheroes" for kids campaign they also donned me with a red cape, a first for me.
The CLM recognized my legislative work to pass "Jessica's Law" which created stronger protections for children from child sexual predators, as well as my work on juvenile court jurisdiction. This session I worked with the League on a bill to ban unregulated and undocumented adoptions, often facilitated through on line ads, a dangerous process known as re-homing.
CLM works with more than 80 non-profits in the state to advocate for children and their families.


As the technology has seen a severe development, mobile phones, e-mails and various social media have taken the place despite the fact that those processes still exist.Though the huge changes have been made almost for everything, but a few things will still be around for now and in the future as well. Those things can very well be the shipping and courier companies. No matter, how developed the world becomes, businesses and individuals will always need to send the important documents, parcels, and gifts. The first thing which comes to their mind is the couriers for the quick and secure service providence. Plus, it is an advantage that the modern technology has helped to make the shipment and courier process to be easier, more effective and reasonable for the clients.
Cheap couriers are always equipped to avail you with all these mentioned services and they will lend you a hand with all the proficiency to assist you to get all the things required. It is certainly difficult to find the exact budget that you are looking for when you are thinking to avail as Courier Company but if you check properly and compare the prices, you may find the deal that suits your budget. Thus, the next time you will be in a need to deliver your belongings in, considering the cheap couriers can give you a lot of monetary freedom.Now you can find ample of people who would say that the cheap things will be behaving like the cheap ones. Well, this thing may be right for some services but when you are talking about the courier and shipping companies, the scenario is something else. Cheap couriers have made themselves a superior option to choose with the high values for your goods and the wok under the expert's supervision and with the proper expertise. Your belongings will be delivered without taking a lot of times and you can feel relaxed. The cheap couriers serve both in domestic and international shipments, so, you can save countless money choosing the particular service.
Do you still have doubts about the service providence of the cheap courier companies according to their commitment? You don't need to worry anymore because nowadays, the dependable shipment methods do not charge you a whopping price as the affordable rate is required only. So, if you are thinking to send something locally or in a wider range, the search for the other sources ends here. These courier companies are the rich sources to be your companion when your parcels are needed to be sent somewhere else. So, availing the cheap couriers the next time you need a courier would be the best option that you can choose.


You just came back from a trip with other prominent Nigerians to Abeokuta, could you give us why you were there?
The trip is all about the reconciliation of people who have been quarreling over political issues and the quarrel has gone deep. In such case, if the warring factions are ready for peace or to come back together and settled with whoever feels aggrieved and he is ready to accept forgiveness, then it is the best thing that any man who knows the purpose of life should attend such meeting. That is what the gathering was about. Reconciliation between these two individuals, former president Olusegun Obasanjo and his vice, Atiku Abubakar, is very significant and very important to them and the country, especially at this time when the nation is inflamed. It should teach people that no matter how you take anybody as your enemy, a human being like you, one day you can come together and reconcile and that is why it was an honour to be part of such reconciliation process between the former president and his vice.
How would you react to those that said the whole exercise is political, especially the timing and now that the former vice president is the presidential candidate of the PDP?
I cannot deny that there are political undertones, but even the cynic, the person accusing us, his statement is political too, because he doesn't want these leaders to come together for political reasons. He wants them to continue fighting so that he can have advantage of divide and rule. So, even those criticising the reconciliation are doing it for political reasons, but for us who teach religions where ever there is accord, treaty, peaceful settlement whether political or apolitical it rhymes with the wish of God. For those who want the fight to continue, whatever reason they want it so, either political or not is not the way of God. Those supporting it are the ones doing what God wants, because God does not want confusion, hatred between men. God wants peaceful coexistence. We have seen innocent people being killed on a daily basis over simple issues that should not cause disaffection. So, we are happy to be part of these historic reconciliation for whatever reason people adduced for it, whether political or otherwise and we want it to trickle down to all Nigerians, not only them. In Nigeria we have even intra party crisis and we want people to settle them, there should not be crisis because election is not a do-or-die affair. If people like you and you are have the majority, you will win, if they don't like you, you don't have to struggle, leave it to somebody that the people like, so that you don't take their blames and their burden, this is how we see it.
When you described the reconciliation as critical because the country is inflamed, what exactly do you mean?
What I mean is that there is chaos in the land. Why is it that innocent people are dying everyday? If you are on the front line you will know that, just as we are sitting now, anything can happen, people coming for revenge and the next day the other people will go over there for revenge again. Ordinary Nigerians are not getting anything from government but they are being killed everyday. It is not just between Muslims and Christians, look at Zamfara it is Muslim/Muslim and even Christian/Christian because in Adamawa I think they have a situation like that and when you ask, the only thing they will tell you is they killed us first and we want to get revenge. So, who has the moral right to come and teach people what we call forgiveness. Let us come and forgive each other and begin to open new bridges. This is what Obasanjo has taught the nation with this reconciliation. He was aggrieved by his vice in many, many ways, he felt aggrieved but he is ready to forgive. After all that he has written, he is ready to forgive and forget, this is a good thing for the nation.
You have always been frank about the performance of this administration, has your view changed over time or it is still the same?
About his (President Muhammadu Buhari) capacity or whether he has done well? You see, usually the people who preach are not preaching for votes, but to analyse the situation and try to find a way out for the society. Part of the nation been inflamed like I said earlier, the economy has crumbled because of poor economic policies. The president was warned about these policies from inception. International economic bodies where telling him, these economic policies are wrong, they will lead you know where, but he did not understand and insisted because they taught anybody who criticises the government is a wailer. President Buhari did not criticise former President Goodluck Jonathan the way I did.
Nobody criticised former president Jonathan especially here in the north like I did. So, I expected them to know that when we are criticising this government, it is not because of any hatred, but for the good of the country. At that time, Jonathan's problem was the security situation in the country and not the economy. Economic wise he was doing well, In fact, Nigeria was overtaking South Africa and other African countries in economic development. But I was tackling him on security, how he allowed the security chiefs to mislead him, punishing a whole region under fake security alert. Boko Haram is there in the north east and not here in Kaduna and Sokoto.
But he was putting soldiers here and there, humiliating people and this was causing serious problems and as a civilian he did not know that these security people were just getting money, they were just milking him innocently. Nigeria is still in deep waters, so we need people that have the know-how that can take us out of this quagmire that we have fallen into. But yet 80-85 per cent of Nigerians are semi-educated. They may not understand concepts like these; they may not understand that election is a game of numbers.
So, we have a big duty to educate people. But first let the president know that time has elapsed, he cannot handle this issue. You don't build an economy in the modern sense, by just saying you are fighting corruption. In fact when you make fighting corruption your slogan outwardly, it emboldens corruption and destroys the economy.
I always compare it to a rat, if you want to catch a rat in the dark with a trap you can succeed, but when you switch on the light, the rat will disappear and may even multiply. His only selling point wherever he goes is talking about corruption, corruption it is now worn out, anytime he mentions corruption now people just laugh, because he is sitting in the den of corruption. So, I want him to forget about that. Just show Nigerians what you are doing; I have done this and that. So, really his time has come, if I were him personally I would assist the new generation to come up, which would have been better.
But anyway, he is convinced and he believes he is doing his best and he is coming out to contest. Now, the choice is left to Nigerians. I am not going to say Nigerians vote this person or that person, but I am telling Nigerians to vote according to their conscience. If you want the present status to continue, vote for it to continue, if you want to change it, vote to change it. Whoever wins the majority carries the day. I maintain my neutrality; I am not vouching for anybody. I am not saying that this is the person you should vote for. Vote according to your conscience. But what I will say if you ask me to appraise every government or individual, his capacity and his problems then I can only say that.
It is just like suitors coming to marry a girl, I can say this man is this, this one is this, and it is left for the girl to choose. You don't build an economy in the modern sense, by just saying you are fighting corruption. In fact when you make fighting corruption your slogan outwardly, it emboldens corruption and destroys the economy. I always compare it to a rat, if you want to catch a rat in the dark with a trap you can succeed, but when you switch on the light, the rat will disappear and may even multiply. His only selling point wherever he goes is talking about corruption, corruption it is now worn out, anytime he mentions corruption now people just laugh, because he is sitting in the den of corruption. So, I want him to forget about that. Just show Nigerians what you are doing; I have done this and that. So, really his time has come, if I were him personally I would assist the new generation to come up, which would have been better. But anyway, he is convinced and he believes he is doing his best and he is coming out to contest. Now, the choice is left to Nigerians. I am not going to say Nigerians vote this person or that person, but I am telling Nigerians to vote according to their conscience. If you want the present status to continue, vote for it to continue, if you want to change it, vote to change it. Whoever wins the majority carries the day. I maintain my neutrality; I am not vouching for anybody. I am not saying that this is the person you should vote for. Vote according to your conscience. But what I will say if you ask me to appraise every government or individual, his capacity and his problems then I can only say that. It is just like suitors coming to marry a girl, I can say this man is this, this one is this, and it is left for the girl to choose.
But don't you think that your peace mission with others is an endorsement of Atiku?
It is an endorsement that he is capable, not an endorsement that you should vote him, like I said if three people want to marry a lady I can tell her one is capable, two is capable, three is incapable. So, it is an endorsement that he is capable among the contestants not for you to choose him, you are now free to choose.
Who actually invited you to meet Obasanjo for the reconciliation?
Actually the choice of those who will witness this great occasion as I was made to understand is a consensus choice, between the two warring parties. They said that they needed people who are not aligned to any political party and my name and that of Bishop Kukah came up and you know we have been critical of any government that we feel is not doing well, we don't keep quiet. Even while Obasanjo and Atiku were seated, I was very critical of the government, but they understand my criticism was issue based. Now that Buhari is in government and I criticise him, others that I had criticised know that I don't have any problem with any of them. They now know that I am neither APC nor PDP and I am still myself. So, they wanted people without political linings so that they will not capitalise on it.
Why do you think Atiku is capable?
I think he is capable is this particular sensitive situation that Nigeria is in now. Don't forget that I am a medical doctor, there are priorities in treatment, there are stages in treatment. In the Nigeria we have now, if you bring a young person he cannot handle it, because part of our problem is these big men. They will not respect the young person. So, you need a heavyweight. This is a heavyweight fight, not featherweight or lightweight. So, the former vice president is among the heavyweights that can pacify every religion, every region, every tribe and he has people to work with everywhere in Nigeria now. He is among those that can bring all sides together. Also his age is an advantage in this point in time. This is because at 72 and well-to-do, what does he want power for? If he can listen and take advice, he will perform miracles. But if he will turn to another demagogue, close his doors and feel he is the king, then he is woefully going to fail and Nigerians will turn away from him, even if they elect him. But so far among the candidates, the person that can bring people together is Atiku. I think he has the qualification, he can do it.
What is your take on the toga of corruption placed on Atiku by the present administration, how can he disabuse the mind of Nigerians?
Let me tell you, I don't deceive myself; corruption in Nigeria is not a stigma, so they better look for another thing to try to tarnish him with. Get what I am saying, it is not that corruption is correct or a good thing, but it is not a stigma. I am yet to see a Nigerian that will get free, easy government money and will not take it. If somebody is a bad man for example and say I want to repent, such man is better for me than a hypocritical pious person, pretenders. What we need now is to bring Nigerians together. Let there be peace, people are being killed daily, vandalism of pipelines ongoing, killings, all these problems are serious issues. I am not condoning corruption but I am saying don't use it as a slogan.
'You are corrupt; you are helping looters' that is all they can say. But when I go out I see people in abject poverty, people dying of simple diseases, hunger, children out of school. Even what they call corruption at times, is not corruption that is detrimental, it was corruption that was alleviating the lapses of the government. So, government over time developed the unconventional way of settling people. When you go to the houses of all political leaders, from party chairmen and the likes, they are feeding the masses. So, all these monies people are saying they are stealing, they were also using it to service the masses.
If I open my phone, you will see text messages of people asking for anything just to eat. But in those days it was not like that, actually these monies go back to Nigerians, but it is unconventional. Now they have blocked that unconventional way calling it corruption and they have left the people without an alternative of how to tackle the fallout for all these people. I am not saying we should continue with that unconventional means, no, but constitute the process of change gradually, being considerate, being merciful, then we can change the whole system. In fact, there will be a time when there will not be money for people to steal because everything will be electronic and where ever money moves, it will be from account to account and it will be monitored, and it will be difficult to steal, the time is coming but before we reach there. But this unconventional means which generated so much a noise about corruption has in its own way been useful. For example, nobody in this modern time will accept 'Almajiri' as the right way to go, but before you condemn it, what alternative have you given to take care of those people.
Yes we need to phase it out. But how are we going to do it? It is by coming up with another alternative, not by just coming out with a law to say you cannot do this again, stay at home. How will such over 13million people just stay at home like that? So, where is the alternative? This is what we are saying. Not just coming out to say Almajirai is bad, corruption is bad, yes we all know.
But put in place a system that will satisfy the people and discourage corruption. If a teacher comes back at the end of the month with a package that will be able to take care of him and his family, their medical bills and even school fees, you will find out he would not want to indulge in corrupt practices. So, it is a slow process. This tag of corruption will not work anymore because people are seeing corruption everywhere. What I will like is whoever wins let him take the issue of corruption seriously, but without making it a political weapon, blackmailing people, castigating people that everybody is corrupt.

If you ever visit Ireland you'll discover the Irish have a way with words to the point that it sounds like a different language. We take the English language and twist it to our amusement creating our own colloquialisms, with some being really absurd to the point it will sound Double Dutch to an outsider.
Believe it or not in Ireland we have many different ways of saying hello and it can be different from town to town or county to county.
Here are just some examples of ways to say hello, using English, in various parts of Ireland.
Translation: How are things with you?
Greeting: What's the story? or just story?
Translation: Are you doing ok friend?
Translation: How is everything going?
Translation: Do you have any gossip?
Greeting: Alright head the ball?
Translation: How are things you lunatic?
Greeting: How's about yee? or the abbreviation bout yee?
Translation: Are you doing ok, boy/lad/man?
Translation: How are things friend?
Translation: Is your private parts comfortable?
Greeting: How in the name of Jaysus are ya?
Translation: I haven't seen you in a very long time, how is everything going with you?
Are you surprised not to see Top of the morning? Don't be, that's not a saying in Ireland and tends to be more popular with our Irish-American friends.

It sounds too good to be true: designed and made in America, gets around 85mpg, and costs under $7,000.
That's the promise of the Elio E-Series, a super fuel efficient vehicle Paul Elio and his backers plan to start rolling off the assembly line of a former GM plant in Shreeveport, La., later this year. (That's him behind the wheel of a prototype, above).
I chatted with the company founder recently, who told me the idea for his innovative three-wheeler was born in 2008, when he scrawled a basic design on a dinner napkin.
Even while the economy – and the auto industry – was tanking, he continued to pursue the dream of producing an affordable urban car.
Paul Elio is not a brash Silicon Valley billionaire like Elon Musk, adapting computer software into the game-changing, but expensive, Tesla.
Elio is a shy but passionate engineer who has spent a lifetime in the auto industry. His goal is to produce a zero-emission vehicle at a price affordable to nearly everybody, just as Henry Ford's world-changing Model T did a century ago.
Elio told me that a recent Harvard study shows that the biggest indicator of whether people can get out of poverty is mobility, even more than education.
If you can't get to work, you can't earn a paycheck. He hopes his vehicle will be used in low-income areas as personal transportation, as a taxi, and by home health workers and others to serve their communities.
This is a two-seater, with the passenger sitting behind, not next to, the driver. The tandem design also adds to maneuverability.
"It's fun to drive," Elio says, partly because the driver sits low and between the two front wheels, making it feel a bit like you are driving a Formula One racecar. Except for the speed, of course.
Elio controls costs and risk by using existing products. "Everything is already in production," and adapted to the E-Series, he tells me. Elio Motors lucked into the GM plant. They literally walked away, he says, in the recent bankruptcy and re-organization most of us have forgotten about, leaving all the equipment behind.
The three wheels – two in the front and one in the rear – make it a snap to park, since two wheels are always already properly parked, so the car literally swivels in to a space. Since it has the same wheelbase as a Honda Accord, it will fit into most spaces, an advantage for any vehicle designed for city driving.
The E-Series body is the same strong and light SMC composite as the Chevy Corvette, but no real info-tainment system. Elio expects buyers to plug in their own mobile phones or tablets, or the modular system he's working with MTX to develop.
Like the three-wheel Toyota i-Road EV concept, the Elio E-Series falls into a new category that's half car, half motorcycle.
Under the current classification, it's a motorcycle, so insurance is a fraction of what automobile insurance costs.
But that creates ownership issues in states where a special motorcycle license is required to own and drive one. Elio is working with regulators, as is Toyota, to modernize those rules for this new category he calls "autocycles".
Like Tesla, Elio hopes to sell his autocycle directly, not through dealers, like Tesla is doing. And, like any vehicle, it can be customized and upgraded with such options as leather seats and blind-spot detection mirrors. Service would be at one of 800 authorized PepBoys locations nationwide, he told me.
Elio Motors began raising money via the 2012 Jumpstart Our Business Startup Act (JOBS). It's now a publicly traded company, on the small OTCQX exchange, where it's raised $17 million. That's to help pay for buidling a couple of dozen vehicles for crash testing, wind tunnel testing and other safety and durability tests that all vehicles must undergo.

HKEx Information Services Limited (HKEx-IS) and Shenzhen Securities Information Co, Ltd (SSIC), the information business subsidiaries of HKEx and Shenzhen Stock Exchange (SZSE), today (Wednesday) signed an agreement for a market data collaboration programme.
The agreement was signed by SSIC General Manager Zheng Song and HKEx-IS Director Bryan Chan. Other senior officials from both parties also attended the signing ceremony.
The objective of the collaboration programme is to assist investors who are interested in shares of issuers that have listed in both Hong Kong and Shenzhen. The programme is expected to benefit investors in both markets and help increase the visibility of issuers with securities trading in Hong Kong as well as Shenzhen.
Under the HKEx-SZSE programme, which is similar to HKEx's market data collaboration programme with Shanghai Stock Exchange (SHSE), both parties are entitled to redistribute the other party's basic real-time market data for the companies with securities listed in both markets to their own authorised information vendors (IVs) for onward transmission to the IVs' subscribers for internal display purposes. The usual exchange fees for market data are waived for the two parties, their IVs and their IVs' market data subscribers under the collaboration programme.
The HKEx-SZSE programme will come into effect on 1 May 2010 and will expire at the end of next year. The original end date of the HKEx-SHSE programme was the end of December this year, but it has been revised and is now also the end of next year.

News Release 29-Aug-2019
How visceral leishmaniasis spread through central-Southern Brazil

The protozoan disease visceral leishmaniasis (VL) has recently expanded to places where it had not previously been reported and has expanded its geographic distribution within countries where it was already endemic. Now, researchers writing in PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases describe three dispersion routes that have moved Leishmania infantum into and through central-Southern Brazil, helping shed light on the overall mechanisms of VL dispersal.
Currently, 1.69 billion people are estimated to be living in VL transmission areas worldwide and 90% of VL cases occurred in six countries, including Brazil. Between 1920 and 1980, VL was restricted to rural areas in Northeast Brazil, however the disease then spread to urban areas in other regions of the country. The dispersal of the protozoan is poorly understood, and in 2012, the parasite was reported in the western region (Foz do Iguaçu) of Paraná state, far from the epidemic regions. Foz do Iguaçu is one of the main touristic destinations in Brazil.
In the new work, Vanete Thomaz-Soccol, of Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR), and colleagues genetically analyzed 132 isolates from dogs, humans and sand flies collected in central-Southern Brazil. In addition, historical records of VL cases in central-Southern Brazil were collected by searching publically available literature databases for relevant publications.
The researchers describe three dispersion routes that have likely carried VL into central-Southern Brazil--dispersion from Bolivia via the Bolivia-Brazil gas pipeline from 1998 to 2005, dispersion from Paraguay after 2012, and emergence of a new cluster in western Santa Catarina State in 2013 and its dispersion to southern Paraná State. The routes help highlight risk factors for the dispersion of L. infantum, including the lack of joint policies with countries bordering Brazil.
"Understanding how VL has dispersed is vital to the development of control measures for this disease and to avoid future dispersion events," the researchers say. "Our results highlight the need for the development of plans that efficiently avoid the dispersion of VL in the central-southern Brazil that includes monitoring of this diseases and joint policies with countries bordering this Brazilian region."

Police identify 45-year-old woman found dead Tuesday as investigation continues
Will Greenlee
Treasure Coast Newspapers
PORT ST. LUCIE — A 45-year-old woman found dead Tuesday in her residence in Tradition appears to have been shot through the slider door of her home, as the death remains under investigation, police said.
Port St. Lucie police Wednesday released new details about the death of the woman in the 11200 block of Southwest Stockton Place, which police discovered after being called at 11:39 a.m. Tuesday for a welfare check.
Police Wednesday identified the woman as Karesha Brissett. Investigators remained at the scene Wednesday morning.
"The motive and intention of the crime is still under investigation," police said in a news release.
Police said evidence suggests the shooting was a targeted crime and not a random act of violence.
"(Police) will have an increased presence in the area and we are not currently looking for a suspect in the immediate community," police said in the news release.
The home where the incident occurred is in the gated Town Park community, west of Interstate 95 and south of Southwest Tradition Parkway.
"A total of 13 spent shell casings were located on the rear back patio and it appears the victim was shot through the slider and entry was not made into the residence," police stated.
First reported: Woman found dead in Port St. Lucie home with gunshot wound; bomb squad called
Fatally shot:10-year-old boy fatally shot himself in St. Lucie County; man jailed, reports show
A person with Brissett's same name purchased a home in the 11200 block of Southwest Stockton Place in January, according to St. Lucie County Property Appraiser records.
Neighbors Tuesday and Wednesday told TCPalm they heard what appeared to be several shots around 4 a.m. Tuesday.
Police got two calls around 4:10 a.m. Tuesday regarding that but an exact location on Southwest Stockton Place wasn't reported. Officers couldn't find any evidence of shooting or possible victims.
"Detectives are still investigating if these calls are related to the scene later discovered at 11:39 a.m.," police stated.
The St. Lucie County sheriff's bomb squad was called after police reported containers with an unknown liquid were found. Police Wednesday said a gas container and glass bottles with rags and liquids were removed from the scene.
A friend of the woman went to the home after she didn't show up for work. The friend saw the shattered rear slider and cartridge casings on the back patio, police stated. A delivery service driver in the area was hailed down and provided help.

Linda Murphy, 65, said Wednesday she lives down the street and around the corner from where the incident occurred. A light sleeper, she said she heard some noise around 4 a.m.
"I was kind of waking up and then I heard like 'pop, pop, pop,'" Murphy said. "I thought at first it was somebody just pounding on the front door for whatever reason."
Later on, she said, she discovered it was probably gunfire.
"It's a little bit … alarming," she said. "My philosophy at this point is you can't be too surprised of what's happening in our world, and we don't know what goes on behind closed doors of anybody's house."

Murphy, who said she's lived in the area just over two months, said it's a horrible situation.
"We recently bought in this area, and are paying for security and feeling the sense of safe," she said. "So when it happens to a neighbor, it's very alarming. And it's so incredibly sad for the family, and for our community."

YOU editor Linda's top reads
If you're stuck for what to read in honour of this year's National Book Week ? 2 to 7 September ? YOU editor Linda Pietersen has some suggestions for you.
YOU editor Linda Pietersen is a total bookworm ? while she spends most of her time devouring magazines, newspapers and online media, she considers reading novels "proper downtime".
"Because it's my downtime, I like to read unbelievably light and frothy books," she says with a laugh. Despite this, Linda's top books are not as light and frothy as you might think . . .
1. Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
This bestselling thriller tells the story of unhappily married couple Nick and Amy Dunne. Amy goes missing on their fifth wedding anniversary, and Nick becomes the prime suspect in her disappearance. "I loved it – it kept me guessing the whole way through," says Linda.
Get the book here.
2. The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith
This crime fiction novel is one of this year's most talked-about books – thanks to its famous author. The Cuckoo's Calling was actually written by none other than JK Rowling – writer of the Harry Potter series. "I never would have read it if I hadn't known she wrote it," Linda admits. But she's glad she did! The book follows down-on-his-luck private eye Cormoran Strike, who's tasked with investigating the mysterious death of a troubled supermodel, which the London police ruled a suicide.
3. The Last Dance and Other Stories by Victoria Hislop
"I've read all her books," says Linda of Victoria Hislop. But most recently, she's been glued to The Last Dance and Other Stories, a collection of 10 short stories about love, loyalty and family based in Hislop's favourite setting – beautiful Greece.
4. Secrets of the Lighthouse by Santa Montefiore
Secrets of the Lighthouse tells the story of two very different women. There's Elle, who 's on the cusp of a loveless marriage, with a dull job and a interfering mother – and she can't take it any more. She escapes to her aunt's home in rural Ireland. Then there's Caitlin, stuck in limbo between this life and the next after a suspicious death. What do they have in common? An old lighthouse.
5. Deep Blue Sea by Tasmina Perry
Perry, another of Linda's staple authors, weaves the tragic tale of Diana and Julian, the seemingly perfect married couple. But when Julian dies suddenly, Diana wants answers, sending her to the one person she never wanted to see again – Julian's sister.
6. The Perfume Collector by Kathleen Tessaro
"This is the kind of book that makes us all wish we had strangers leave us a fabulous inheritance that would change our lives!" Linda says. This is what happens to the book's protagonist, Grace, who's unhappy with her posh London life. But then she inherits an apartment in Paris from the mysterious Eva d'Orsay and her life is turned upside down. You can see Linda's full review of this book in YOU, 4 July 2013.

To use name-based virtual hosting, you must designate the IP address (and possibly port) on the server that will be accepting requests for the hosts. This is configured using the NameVirtualHost directive. In the normal case where any and all IP addresses on the server should be used, you can use * as the argument to NameVirtualHost. (NameVirtualHost * will work only in version 1.3.13 and later.) Note that mentioning an IP address in a NameVirtualHost directive does not automatically make the server listen to that IP address. See Setting which addresses and ports Apache uses for more details. In addition, any IP address specified here must be associated with a network interface on the server.
You can alternatively specify an explicit IP address in place of the * in both the NameVirtualHost and <VirtualHost> directives. The IP address is required in version 1.3.12 and earlier.
Finally, you can fine-tune the configuration of the virtual hosts by placing other directives inside the <VirtualHost> containers. Most directives can be placed in these containers and will then change the configuration only of the relevant virtual host. To find out if a particular directive is allowed, check the Context of the directive. Configuration directives set in the main server context (outside any <VirtualHost> container) will be used only if they are not overriden by the virtual host settings.
As a consequence, the first listed virtual host is the default virtual host. The DocumentRoot from the main server will never be used when an IP address matches the NameVirtualHost directive. If you would like to have a special configuration for requests that do not match any particular virtual host, simply put that configuration in a <VirtualHost> container and list it first in the configuration file.

Nintendo might have put Animal Crossing grandma in New Horizons
by Rachel Kaser — in Gaming
Credit: Nintendo World Report TV
As the new Animal Crossing game, New Horizons, is about to hit the shelves, gamers have spotted what might be a tribute to one of the series' most devoted fans. We sincerely hope it to be the case, since it would be heartwarming (and we all could really use a little heartwarming news right now).
We have an official name for the new Wolf villager in Animal Crossing: New Horizons and her name is Audie! She may be named after the grandma who went viral last year for her 3500+ hours in New Leaf. 🥰
Originally found by u/koolwala: https://t.co/4L1hdjCEqN pic.twitter.com/3kHq8gaWcZ
— Animal Crossing World 🛩🏝 (@ACWorldBlog) March 17, 2020
Just over a year ago, I covered the story of "Animal Crossing grandma," a lovely older gamer named Audrey who somehow managed to log over 3500 hours in her Animal Crossing: New Leaf town. I suggested at the time that Nintendo should reward her devotion by making her an NPC in the next Animal Crossing game (there was then a big push for Bethesda to pay similar tribute to "Skyrim grandma," hence where the idea came from). Well, I had no idea I wielded this kind of power, but apparently so, because an NPC in New Horizons is named Audie, the same as Audrey's New Leaf mayor avatar.
Read: LEGO Super Mario combines two staples of childhood
Redditor koolwala spotted the NPC, a blue-eyed wolf, apparently in a Nintendo World Report review of the new game. Nintendo hasn't officially confirmed that Audie is named after Audrey, but given how popular the story was — and given it came to light at the same time when the company would still have been working on the game — I wouldn't be surprised if an appreciative member of the team slipped the name in as an Easter Egg.
But assuming she is, that is officially the sweetest thing I've seen in gaming so far this year. It's worth noting I wasn't the only person asking for this, as there was a movement on Reddit and similar forums to add Audrey/Audie to the game. Besides the fact that the story is a cool one — gaming is still not really considered an older generation's pastime, so octogenarians who not only play games but like them are still a rare story — Audrey won the community's heart by just being, well, better than all of us. Like I said last year, her amount of playtime and in-game swag indicated she must have spent several hours tending her town every single day over the course of four years. We should all aspire to that level of devotion.
Audrey's grandson, Paul Hubans — who originally spotted her playtime and showed off her town to the world — told Twitter that Audrey, now 88, is doing well and that he "choked up" when he saw Audie in the game.

-Bundled Packages: Wedding photographers that charge a la carte for everything else and have a base shooting fee right after the wedding like the albums, prints and image copyrights nearly usually run over budget very quickly. Look for a photographer who provides every thing you will need in one simple package and price. Additional services can always be purchased right after the wedding too.
-Customer Service Oriented Business: The wedding is only one day; the wedding photographer that you simply choose should be there prior to and right after to answer any questions or phone calls that you simply might have to make sure your wedding day is perfect. In addition, customer service oriented businesses will edit your albums with a higher degree of care and keep you informed every procedure.
-Unlimited Locations and Hours: Commonly, NJ wedding shoots tend to last a long time, some might take up to 11 hours and could be shot in many different places. Don't sell yourself short by opting for a much less expensive package that does not include the bride's prep or that has the photographer leave right after the cutting of the cake. A lot of photographer companies charge by the hour and locations, don't pay for that; find a company that includes it all for the same price.
The above are just a few easy tips that will assist when your going to find the perfect NJ wedding photographer for you. Its important to remember, when shopping for your wedding photographer in NJ, it should be exciting and fun; not stressful. If you see a photographer that has great work but from the beginning is not offering customer service or all-inclusive packages, be very careful. Its advised to find the photographer that will answer every email, call, test message, and has really easy to comprehend bundled package services.
Enchanted Celebrations is the right choice to make.

*Daily Coronavirus update brought to you by Silver Cross Hospital
Latest on Relief Discussions
President Trump's last-ditch effort to secure another enormous package of emergency coronavirus relief is being threatened by an unusual group: his GOP allies in Congress. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has repeatedly thrown cold water on the idea of spending trillions more dollars to fight the pandemic, citing the opposition of roughly 20 Republicans in the upper chamber warning of the long-term effects on the federal debt.
On a conference call Saturday, Senate Republicans relayed those concerns to party leaders and top Trump officials, trumpeting their objections to a $1.8 trillion package proposed by the White House a day earlier and ensuring that the only path to passage is on the shoulders of Democratic votes — a strategy McConnell has rejected virtually out of hand.
On Saturday's conference call, Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) characterized the $1.8 trillion proposal as a "death knell" for Republicans seeking to promote themselves as the party of fiscal responsibility. "I liked the package that we had on the floor," Blackburn told reporters Monday in the Capitol, referring to a much smaller proposal, providing roughly $300 billion in new stimulus, that received a vote last month. "It was the right approach."
Larry Kudlow, Trump's top economic adviser, is downplaying the internal divisions, noting that Senate Republicans mustered 52 GOP votes for that smaller bill, with only one Republican defector.
Speaker Pelosi, meanwhile, is facing her own pressure to seal a deal that can reach Trump's desk before the elections. And it's not only moderate Democrats and Republicans — those facing the toughest reelections next month — who are urging the Speaker to accept the latest offer from Mnuchin. A leading progressive voice in the House also took to Twitter over the weekend to press Pelosi to take the deal and pass the package through the House, saying it would put all the focus on McConnell and Senate Republicans.
"People in need can't wait until February," said Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), who like Pelosi represents a liberal San Francisco Bay Area district.
"1.8 trillion is significant & more than twice the Obama stimulus. It will allow Biden to start with infrastructure. Obama won in '08 by doing the right thing on TARP instead of what was expedient," he added, referring to the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program passed by Congress in October 2008. "Make a deal & put the ball in McConnell's court," Khanna said.
SBA & Treasury announce simpler PPP forgiveness application
The U.S. Small Business Administration, in consultation with the Treasury Department, has released a simpler loan forgiveness application for Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans of $50,000 or less. This action streamlines the PPP forgiveness process to provide financial and administrative relief to America's smallest businesses while also ensuring sound stewardship of taxpayer dollars.
Organizations who received Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans under $50,000 can now access a new forgiveness application designed to simplify the forgiveness and loan review process, as announced by the Small Business Administration (SBA). This streamlined PPP forgiveness form does not require businesses to show the calculations used to determine their loan forgiveness amount. However, SBA may request information and documents to review those calculations as part of its loan review process.
Important to note – this is not "automatic PPP loan forgiveness," as borrowers are still required to submit documentation to lenders on payroll costs, rent/lease payments, and utilities. Additionally, there is a restriction for any otherwise eligible applicants if they have affiliated businesses receiving PPP loans totaling $2 million or greater

Court Case Coming Up Over Insurance Coverage
Owners of more than two dozen Chicago area restaurants and bars will have their day in a Chicago federal court as they battle a Wisconsin insurer over business-interruption claims stemming from government-ordered lockdowns tied to the COVID-19 crisis. The cases make Chicago a critical stage for determining whether business insurers should be on the hook for losses suffered by policyholders because of the pandemic and government actions in response.
Their claims against Fond du Lac-based Society Insurance, a niche firm that insures hospitality industry businesses, have been consolidated under the supervision of U.S. District Judge Edmond Chang in Chicago. The suits against Society are the only ones of the multitude filed against insurers across the country that have been consolidated thus far.
The decision makes Chicago a critical stage for determining whether business insurers should be on the hook for losses suffered by policyholders as a result of the pandemic and government actions in response. Such claims, which insurers say are fundamentally not what their policies are meant to cover, collectively constitute one of the most dramatic and potentially costly litigation battles in recent history for an industry accustomed to the courtroom.
Many commercial property insurance policies expressly exclude coverage of losses stemming from a virus or a pandemic. In the U.S., 83 percent of business policies have that exclusion, according to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. Society's policies, however, were among the 17 percent without a virus exclusion, according to court filings. That gives the plaintiffs a better chance to prevail, attorneys say. In court filings, Society argues that its policies require a "physical loss" in order for policyholders to qualify for coverage. The insurer says the closure orders by state and local governments don't meet that test.
States struggle to avert massive fraud in pandemic unemployment relief programs
The Secret Service and Labor Department have been warning states for months that criminal networks are trying to steal billions of dollars in federal pandemic unemployment aid. But the overburdened and antiquated state systems that send out the checks have been unable to stop a lot of the fraud.
"Using huge databases of stolen personal information, cybercriminals based everywhere from Nigeria to London have pocketed an estimated $8 billion meant for people forced out of work due to the coronavirus so far," the Labor Department's inspector general told states last month.
The IG predicts that $26 billion in the federal aid programs alone eventually could be lost to fraud. The system is easy to breach because Congress allowed applicants to receive some payments before providing documents verifying their identities as lawmakers rushed to pump relief into the economy back in March.
Despite the warnings, the federal government largely left it to states to detect which applications are fake. But state workforce agencies, stymied by decades-old IT systems and flooded with applications, have been ill-equipped to find and prevent the fraud, which appears to be far more extensive than the usual attempts to bilk government programs. Now states are asking for help.
Remote Work Will Not Magically End
Transitioning out of the pandemic will be hard. Slack chief executive Stewart Butterfield knew the world was changing the night of March 11, right around when Tom Hanks announced from Australia that he had contracted Covid-19, the NBA suspended its season, and President Trump signed his third proclamation banning travel to the United States. Butterfield's team had already been working virtually for a week–something that came fairly naturally to the business-communications-tool startup.
Seven months later, Slack still is fully remote. Butterfield has had the same jarring experience so many executives and knowledge-workers have had going into his company's near-empty headquarters at 500 Howard Street in San Francisco–one of 16 offices the company has in 10 countries. At the Fast Company Innovation Festival on Friday, he said of the nearly vacant 230,000-square-foot office, "It was pretty strange to be in there. A little depressing, to be honest."
The visit got him thinking about the role of an office beyond the pandemic. Sure, it's a place for meetings. It's advertising, marketing, a shiny recruiting tool with a big Slack logo on it. HQ is a projection of power and a cultural touchstone. It's also–and he said this is of lower value than its other roles–office space, which he referred to as "factory farm, battery-housing for people to sit at desks and use computers by themselves with headphones on not talking to anyone else."
Butterfield believes that now that employees have tasted the flexibility of not having to commute, there's no going back to a 40-hour, butt-in-chair workplace for most knowledge workers in competitive fields, citing a pair of logistical and market reasons.
He explained that if Slack required employees to all return to the office daily, and one of its competitors for the same pool of talent continued to allow remote work, he'd lose talent: "Who wouldn't take that second option?"
"You start to see that as an expectation or requirement and there's a market-force applied. I don't know that individual companies are going to be able to opt out and say our employees have to come into the office," Butterfield said.
There's also logistics. Many of his city-dwelling employees have relocated to have more space, indoors and out. He's also hired 20 percent of Slack's current workforce in the past seven months–all of whom have worked remotely only. He recently brought on the first fully remote member of Slack's executive team, who is based in Chicago rather than San Francisco, and who, Butterfield says, is "not going to move once there is a vaccine."
"Once you make those decisions, you can't go back," he says. Butterfield admits he doesn't have it all figured out, but imagines employees using the company's offices for collaboration and meetings–but staying home on days that primarily include solo work. He says he and other executives have a lot of planning to do to make sure employees can be their most productive in the new reality–whatever it looks like. He says: "To not get the worst of both worlds is going to take a lot."

Spirituality – What's the Big Deal?
Life is so busy, who has time for spirituality? It's a bunch of magical thinking and a big waste of time. Praying, meditating, as though sitting around is going to accomplish anything! Why read something two thousand years old when you can read something much more relevant to your life today? Why waste time each week during a "service", bored out of your mind, until the real fun begins as parents yell at their kids all their way out the door? What's the point?
Many have never been exposed to any kind of spirituality. When exposed to a church service, a weird feeling can take over, as full-grown people still seem to believe in Santa Claus. When studying comparative religions in college, many dutifully record the data in each book, often finding the information boring and of little substantive difference. Historically questionable, it remains a cognitive exercise as an example of "the opiate of the people".
Some are taught rituals when they are young and rekindle them when as they raise children of their own. They go through the motions of the holidays and listen to the same twenty stories they hear again and again each Sunday. There is something somewhat special when hearing something familiar from your childhood - it creates a "feel good" experience - and then it's back to life.
Some are taught to read "that book over there" and memorize each verse so that they will be armed with the right words during times of personal crisis. They are impressive during group studies. They also enjoy the stature this provides across the multiple venues as they are trusted and placed in leadership roles.
There are seasons in your life and we all go through times when the above may describe you perfectly. The "hedonic treadmill" of life, where "more is better" is very persuasive. Fear and anger make "loving your enemy" difficult. It is much easier to see them as very different from you; as "bad people". And when you "lose" to these bad people, it is easy to slip into a deeper form of anger called shame.
Even memorized passages fall short when fear, anger and shame set in. Your fight, flight or freeze response is in total control. Your fight against people you don't understand. You disengage and run. You freeze up, defenseless.
These difficult times leave your other relationships worthless to you as you lack a personal anchor. While you are winning, everything may seem fine. Your personal strengths carry you along as you become accustomed to being liked. People tell you that you are great and humbly, you accept the assessment. This becomes your anchor, and leaves you doing everything you can to keep the accolades coming. Everyone has times of personal testing. You may need to stand alone and, without a personal anchor, you will be alone.
Spirituality is about another kind of relationship that provides resolve in place of anger, compassion in place of fear and interest in place of shame. You learn from others, but your view of yourself and of the world is your own. Your personal and world views are unique. They grow with experience and provide for wise use of your strengths in all of your relationships.
Your spirituality describes a relationship. A relationship within you that you trust and that connects you to the same relationship in others even if they haven't yet named it. This is a connection to something greater than yourself, an unbreakable Oneness that goes beyond words.
It is this Oneness you reach for, as you listen for nuance in stories thousands of years old. You carry this Oneness as you reach for forgiveness, compassion and love in all that you do. Drinking deeply from this well, you know it and offer the same to all others.
When in prayer or meditation, you talk to your old friend, your closest ally who knows you, loves you and will always be there for you. More than any bit of knowledge it is a relationship that you sustain each day, as it sustains you.

Poor Rose – not a happy life!
Not a lot is known of Rose's early life. She was born at Parramatta in 1813, and various registers have her as Rosilia, Rosilla or Rosella Bedford, baptised at St John's Church, Parramatta 8 April 1813. She would have been 6 or 7 when the family moved to Van Diemen's Land. It's doubtful that she ever went to school – it seems none of her younger siblings did. From the time she was 10 or 11 she saw her mother descend into alcoholism, her siblings in and out of orphanages because of the poverty the family were living in, and, it seems, her father bringing another woman into the house – perhaps while her mother was at the Factory after one of her drunken episodes.
Rose married William Graves at St John's, Launceston, on 24 September 1837. Neither she or William could sign their name, both marking crosses. Sister Elizabeth was one of the witnesses to the marriage.
The marriage did not appear to be very successful. On 17 July 1839, a child, John Wilcox, was born to Rosetta Graves and John Wilcox. This birth was registered in 1847 in Longford, along with those of two subsequent children: Sarah (b 17 July 1841) and Hannah (b 20 Nov 1845).
What happened to William Graves(s)? He died aged 78 at Brickfield Pauper Estate in Hobart on 29 March 1876.
So – who was this John Wilcox? A splitter according to his children's birth records, he was a "character" nicknamed Yorkshire Jack. Born in Yorkshire in about 1815, convicted of "uttering counterfeit coins" in 1831, Jack was transported to Van Diemen's Land, arriving, along with 166 other convicts, on the William Glen Anderson 1 November 1831.
It seems, unfortunately, that Rosetta had followed in her mother's footsteps, and had drinking problems. Rosetta was found dead on the morning of December 6, 1846, at the age of 33. Her death was reported in the Cornwall Chronicle, published in Launceston, Van Dieman's Land, on December 12 of that year.
What a fascinating piece of social history – Rosetta was a drunk, and lived with a "character" called Yorkshire Jack. BECAUSE she was in the habit of getting drunk, Jack beat her with a rope (apparently this was ok, because she was a drunk?). It's of course, HER fault that the house was dirty, he provided everything she might need. Of course, the coroner heard only one side of the story – no doubt Rose could have added to it. The fourth child mentioned in the report is a mystery. And what a sad, short life Rose had.
