You can check your property for earthworms using a mustard pour (it won't harm your plants). Mix a gallon of water with 1/3 cup of ground yellow mustard seed and pour slowly into the soil. This will drive any worms to the surface. If you have jumping worms, report it and avoid moving plants or soil from your yard.

Jumping worms inching closer to Nebraska
By Jon Burleson, Midwest Messenger Reporter
An aggressive, invasive species of earthworm has been making its way from the southeast to the Midwest.
Asian Jumping Worms, consisting of various species from multiple genera (including: Amynthas agrestis; the smaller Amynthas tokioensis; and Metaphire hilgendorfi) of earthworm, have been around in a number of eastern and southeastern states for decades.
Also known as crazy worms, Alabama jumpers and snake worms — they are native to Southeast Asia, but were accidentally introduced to the southeast United States in the 19th Century.
In 2013, species from the genus Amynthas were confirmed for the first time in the Upper Midwest, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Arboretum. Last year, they were discovered to have wriggled their way into eastern Iowa when they were found in Dubuque and Muscatine counties.
The worry is they may make the jump from Iowa into Nebraska and cause problems for agribusiness.
"Earthworms change the environment to suit their needs," said Brad Herrick, ecologist and research program manager at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Arboretum. "When they are introduced, they make a host of physical, chemical and biological changes to the soil environment."
The worms are competitive with other species and grow rapidly. They're parthenogenetic: They can reproduce without fertilization. The introduction of a single individual is enough to launch a jumping worm invasion, Herrick said.
These worms are unlike the common Lumbricus terrestris or European earthworm (aka nightcrawler). They live in the top part of the soil, they don't make channels which plant roots can exploit; they grow more quickly, reproduce more rapidly and thus consume more nutrients, which starves other invertebrates; and they leave behind an inhospitable environment for plants.
That is the big reason these worms are a major concern. Instead of nutrient-rich castings being left behind that help the soil, they fundamentally transform the ground into a field of soft, dry soil pellets. Soil hit by Asian jumping worms has nutrients, but it's all on the surface, and is easily washed away by rain. It's not a sustainable way to keep the soil rich and healthy — bad for crops, and good for weeds.
Jenelle Wempner, a geoscientist at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, studied the worms' voluminous production of excrement — called "aggregates"— and found that they may be eroding and leaching nutrients from soil.
Wempner was able to corroborate that finding by examining aggregates under a scanning electron microscope. Her team found high levels of iron, aluminum, potassium and calcium in the aggregates, confirming that the worms are decreasing the availability of key nutrients in their ecosystems and increasing the likelihood of soil erosion.
"Unfortunately at this time, there are no good control measures," Herrick said. "The important thing now is to the stop the spread. Everyone can help."
While fire has been shown to be somewhat promising as a way of reducing the worm population, it has to be the right temperature to kill their offspring, said Allison Zach, coordinator of the UNL Nebraska Invasive Species Program.
It can be difficult to identify jumping worms until a few months into the growing season because the young worms are small (less than half an inch long when they hatch from the cocoon). The cocoons are inconspicuous and a similar size (1/10 of an inch in diameter) and color of soil aggregates. Jumping worms have a flexible diet and are suited to surviving in less-opportune environments, such as below hardwood mulch. Their unnoticed presence in plant, soil and bark products, combined with the cocoons' resilience to cold and drought, may explain how they spread.
The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship recommends against acquiring compost, mulch and topsoil from potentially infested areas or acquiring plants from the infested counties.
"They are not currently regulated but they maybe in the future," Zach said. "I suggest not bringing them here as they can have negative consequences to soil and water resources."
People who think they've spotted one of the worms are urged to call the Nebraska Invasive Species Program at 402-472-3133 or report it through www.neinvasives.com.

En informatique, l'XML entity expansion ou Billion laughs ou lol flow est une attaque de type déni de service visant les parseurs XML. Cette attaque peut aussi servir de vecteur pour faciliter des attaques par dépassement de tampon

Principe de l'attaque

L'attaque XML entity expansion repose sur une particularité du standard XML qui permet la déclaration récursive d'entités XML sans aucune limite de profondeur ou de longueur des éléments. L'attaquant peut donc donner une très grande longueur au résultat censé être produit lors de l'analyse lexicale du document XML.

Ainsi, le déni de service est provoqué par le parseur XML tentant de lire le document avec toutes ses entités décrites de manière récursive, ce qui peut potentiellement provoquer un dépassement des capacités de la machine ciblée.

Exemple de code

Dans cet exemple, 128 entités XML sont déclarées dans le doctype du document. Elle contiennent chacune deux appels à l'entité déclarée précédemment, sauf la première qui affiche simplement la chaîne "lol".
Dans le document, la dernière entité déclarée est appelée et, par conséquent, toutes les autres sont appelées en cascade jusqu'à afficher finalement  caractères (680564733841876926926749214863536422912).

<!DOCTYPE root [
<!ENTITY lol "lol">
<!ENTITY lol2 "&lol; &lol;">
<!ENTITY lol3 "&lol2; &lol2;">
<!ENTITY lol4 "&lol3; &lol3;">
<!ENTITY lol5 "&lol4; &lol4;">
…
<!ENTITY lol128 "&lol127; &lol127;">
]>
<root>&lol128;</root>

Notons que c'est de cet exemple que l'attaque tient ses surnoms de « Billion laughs » (« milliards de rires » en anglais) et « lol flow » (« inondation de lol » en anglais) puisqu'il afficherait réellement des milliards de « lol » en résultat.

When I sat down on Wednesday, April 25 to watch the theater department's final dress rehearsal of their spring musical, "Into the Woods," I was incredibly excited, even though, in a way, I already knew what to expect. I'm pretty sure I've been to every show put on since the seventh grade, and I've watched my classmates perform with the direction of Theater Director Emily Ditkovski in awe.
As always, Ditkovski and her actors did not disappoint. The musical, which features an array of popular fairytales with music and lyrics originally written by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine, is a complicated story with lots of moving parts, but the actors managed to transition through the plot lines seamlessly and beautifully.
The Assistant Director of this show, Maddie Elsea '19, was clearly dedicated to her role; as many of the scenes that she blocked and directed stood out as showstoppers in my book.
Many performances stood out. Triniti Slaughter '18 played the Witch and not only showed her acting range, but also her musical chops. She was able to quickly transition from rapping about vegetables to singing ballads about family without missing a beat.
Senior Haley Beecher, who played the Baker's Wife, also had an impressive performance. She had a remarkable stage presence and was able to wonderfully articulate her character's innermost thoughts through a simple one line. Similarly, senior Tori Zingarelli put on a perfect performance of Cinderella, with powerfully beautiful and nuanced vocals .
Josh Holmberg '18, who played Haley's husband, was equally as talented. His role, one of the largest in the musical, was perfectly suited to him, and he performed with confidence and charisma.
Robby Hill '19 played the narrator as well as the Mysterious Man. His smaller role of the Mysterious Man was a real scene stealer in the show, as he added comic relief during even the most stressful times. Robby's dedication to his character really showed, and as he danced on stage and poked fun at different characters, I found myself laughing and smiling, even in the sadder scenes.
The costumes, made by Ashley Tyler and the eight members of the costume shop, were clearly well thought out and constructed. Anabelle Farnham '18 played Cinderella's stepmother, and sophomores Louisa Weed and Jaime O'Malley played her daughters, and the simple beauty of their costumes belied the months of work that went into them.
The most striking costume was the Witch's. Her costume change halfway through the show, from dirty rags to a dress with a long train, showed the complicated creations that the costume shop worked on, as well as their dedication to providing a range of outfits for the actors.
There was live music during the show, as well. Directed by the Head of Choirs, Steven Berlanga, the orchestra included Williston students, faculty, and hired musicians, and was an excellent touch to help set each scene. The music not only beautifully accompanied the singers, but also helped to create interesting sound effects and highlight dramatic moments.
Charles Raffetto, the Head of Theatre Production and the Facilities Manager, and the members of the technical theater afternoon program, simply outdid themselves for this show. The lights were spectacular yet always matched the characters and the various moods of each scene.
This musical was an incredibly ambitious one to pull off. In a short time frame, actors had to memorize lines, students had to create costumes, and tech members had to make sets and adjust lighting, but as always, the entire theater department pulled it off in a spectacular way. And, as always, I'm excited to see the shows they present next year.


Have you ever made your dog a treat made out of sweet potatoes? When people first hear about this, they are a little confused. First of all, there are some natural foods that dogs should not have such as strawberries, but sweet potatoes are actually a vegetable that is extremely sweet and safe. You can cut them into slices, bake them in your oven, and they can chew on these because they will be similar in texture to jerky. They will have a unique flavor which humans all know so well, but dog seem to absolutely love them.
Are They Good For Your Dog?
Some of the ones that have come out of China have been proven to be not so great for your pet. They have also produced treats that are a type of chicken jerky, having the same type of effect. The symptoms could be anything from kidney problems to simply having a bad stomach ache. Therefore, if you want to use them, only by from American companies, or make them on your own in your oven. The primary benefit of providing these for your dog is that they are very high in fiber. They have very little fat, and they contain manganese and B6 which is going to give them a lot of energy. It also contains beta-carotene which is a natural antioxidant that can keep their vision, as well as the rest of their body, much more healthy. This will give them better skin quality, and also help with their hair. However, it needs to come from a reputable company or you need to do these yourself.
The primary reason they are so popular is because of the owners. They understand all of the benefits associated with these treats. Just make sure that you are getting them from Dreambone company that has rave reviews, or you learn how to make them yourself.

Article 22 – Legal Topic – Motor Vehicle Accidents – Liability, Insurance and the Factors Involved in an Insurance Claim
Martin George & Company > DAILY LEGAL LESSONS > Article 22 – Legal Topic – Motor Vehicle Accidents – Liability, Insurance and the Factors Involved in an Insurance Claim
By: Keshavi Khoorban
Motor vehicle accidents occur on a daily basis and usually occur due to the negligent acts of drivers on our nation's roads causing injury and damage not only to these reckless drivers but also to innocent third parties. The Motor Vehicles Insurance (Third Party Risks) Act Chap 48:51 (hereinafter referred to as "the said Act") seeks to provide protection to these innocent third parties who suffer harm as a result of negligent drivers. Pursuant to section 3 (1) of the said Act, it is mandatory for every owner of a vehicle which is being used on a public road to hold an insurance policy to cover against third party risks such as injury or damage caused to third parties as a result of an accident arising out of the use of a vehicle or licensed trailer on a public road. A public road is defined as: 'any street, road or open space to which the public has access and any bridge over which a road passes and includes any privately owned street, road or open space to which the public has access either generally or conditionally' pursuant to section 2 of the said Act. For the avoidance of doubt it also includes the public driving areas in a gas station, a mall car park, an airport or seaport ferry terminal parking area.
THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS OF AN INSURANCE POLICY:
According to Section 4 of the said Act, to meet the requirements of the Act, a policy must be issued by an authorized insurer and must provide cover for third party death or bodily injury and third-party property damage. Thus the primary intent of the Legislation is to ensure that you have Insurance to cover against any loss or damage you may do to others, not necessarily for loss or damage you may suffer from an accident you may have caused. So the fundamental (Third Party) coverage, is for other persons who may suffer Loss, damage or injury through your actions. If you also want to cover your own losses too, then you're looking at a Full Comprehensive type of Insurance policy. The driver of a vehicle must always carry the certificate of insurance in the vehicle as evidence that there is an insurance policy in force which covers personal injury and property damage in the case of an accident. If ever you're the victim in a motor vehicle accident by either injury/damage to your person or property, it is advisable to always check and verify with the driver's Insurance Company that their policy is indeed valid and in force as there have been some instances of persons driving around with forged or fraudulent Insurance certificates. Furthermore, the minimum coverage for death or bodily injury is $1,000,000 for any one claim by any one person and $2,000,000 for total claims arising from any one accident and the minimum coverage for third party property damage is $500,000 for any one claim by any one person and $1,000,000 for total claims arising from any one accident. Please note that this is the limit of the Liability of the Insurance Company. It does not mean that you can't seek to claim more than these amounts if your actual losses are greater, however just remember that your recovery from the Insurance Company will be guarded by these Statutory limits and the additional losses you may have to seek to recover from the driver/owner directly; if possible.
TYPES OF INSURANCE POLICIES:
Comprehensive – This type of insurance policy covers loss or damage to the insured's own motor vehicle caused by an accidental collision and also covers liability to third parties for bodily injury or property damage caused by the driver in an accident. This policy can also insure against damage caused by natural occurrences such as floods, fires, theft, hurricanes and earthquakes.
Restricted Coverage – This type of insurance policy usually requires that anyone who is permitted to drive the insured's vehicle must be over the age of 25 years and have at least two years' driving experience. Usually, an insurance policy will only insure such restricted drivers upon the payment of a higher annual premium. In addition to this restriction, some insurance policies further restrict the use of the vehicle to only the specific driver(s) named on the insurance certificate. This is an extremely important provision to note as the Privy Council enforced the strictness of this provision in its ruling in The Presidential Insurance Company Limited v Resha St. Hill [2012] UKPC 33, which sets out that in such cases, the coverage will apply only when the vehicle is operated strictly by the person(s) named on the insurance policy. If there's someone other than the named driver(s) driving while an accident occurs, then no Insurance payment will be made.
Third Party liability – This type of insurance policy usually just satisfies the minimum requirements of the Act. Where this policy is in place, once liability has been established, an insurance company is supposed to pay a third party's claim for property or personal injury arising from an accident, however you, the Insured, get absolutely NO Payment from your Insurer, for any personal or property damage you may suffer in an accident which you cause.
LIMITATION IN RELATION TO PERSONS COVERED BY INSURANCE POLICIES:
Section 4(7) of the Act provides that: "Notwithstanding anything in any written law, rule of law or the Common Law, a person issuing a policy of insurance under this section shall be liable to indemnify the person insured or persons driving or using the vehicle or licensed trailer with the consent of the person insured specified in the policy in respect of any liability which the policy purports to cover in the case of those persons." However, in The Presidential Insurance Company Limited v Resha St.Hill (supra) the Privy Council considered the meaning of this section in relation to insurance policies which are limited to only the owner of the policy and found that in such instances the coverage cannot extend to any other driver even if he had the consent of the insured person. The Privy Council in that case, recognized that this issue was of great interest and significance for motor insurers and the Privy Council was informed that this case was fought by the appellant as a test case, the outcome of which was awaited in a large number of other cases in Trinidad and Tobago.
LIABILITY IN RELATION TO MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS:
In Privy Council Appeal No 0063 of 2014 Insurance Company of the Bahamas Ltd. v Eric Antonio Lord Mance stated as follows: "1. Whether a victim of negligent driving can look to insurers of the negligent driver can be vitally important for the victim. But it is a matter over which the victim has commonly no control. It depends upon whether insurance has been arranged by or on behalf of the driver or driver's employer, and it also depends upon the terms of that insurance, subject to limited statutory qualifications to ensure that these cannot always be relied upon as against a third party victim."
In order for an innocent third party to claim compensation in relation to a motor vehicle accident he must prove that the driver of the vehicle who is covered by the policy was negligent in that he owed a duty of care to the third party, there was a breach of that duty and the third party sustained damage as a result of the breach of that duty (this topic of negligence is explored in detail in our article "The Tort of Negligence" which can easily be accessed by clicking here: https://martingeorge.net/archives/6860). Once it is satisfied that the driver of the vehicle was negligent, his insurer is usually required to pay compensation to the injured third party.
In some instances the driver is the employee of the owner of the vehicle and the person in whose name the policy is issued and in such instances the employer can be found to be vicariously liable for the tort of his employee once it is satisfied that the person who committed the tort was an employee of the employer, the tort was indeed committed by the employee and that the tort has been committed during the course of his employment (this topic of vicarious liability is explored in detail in our article "Vicarious Liability" which can easily be accessed by clicking here: https://martingeorge.net/archives/6964). However, for an insurance policy to cover an employee the policy must not have been such that it was restricted to only the owner of the vehicle: Rajendra Samsoondar v Capital Insurance Company Limited Civ App No. S149 of 2013 which said case applied The Presidential Insurance Company Limited v Resha St. Hill (supra).
Section 4A of the Act expressly provides: Notwithstanding any other law, the owner of a motor vehicle licensed to ply for hire and insured under this Act is deemed to be the employer of any person driving the motor vehicle at the time of an accident as a result of which a person has suffered death, bodily injury or damage to property unless it is shown that at the time of the accident that the vehicle was the subject of larceny." The Privy Council in The Presidential Insurance Company Limited v Resha St.Hill (supra) stated in relation to this section as follows: "Subject to its larceny exception, it deems the insured to be the employer of the driver involved in the accident. Its purpose is to enable the insured to be vicariously liable for the driver's negligence. But a deemed relationship of employment does not alter the terms of the insurance contract. If the policy covered as drivers the insured and his employees or agents generically, the vicarious liability of the insured could fall within its terms, so long as other conditions in the policy (such as that the driver was driving with the insured's permission, or that the driver was licensed to drive the vehicle) did not exclude liability."
Once it is established that a driver who is covered by an insurance policy was negligent, the insurance company of the owner of the vehicle is liable to satisfy the judgment sum pursuant to Section 10 (1) of the Act which provides that: "If, after a certificate of insurance has been delivered under section 4(8) to the person by whom a policy has been effected, judgment in respect of any such liability as is required to be covered by a policy under section 4(1)(b) (being a liability covered by the terms of the policy) is obtained against any person insured by the policy, then, notwithstanding that the insurer may be entitled to avoid or cancel, or may have avoided or cancelled, the policy, the insurer shall, subject to the provisions of this section, pay to the persons entitled to the benefit of the judgment any sum payable thereunder in respect of the liability, in addition to any amount payable in respect of costs and any sum payable in respect of interest on that sum by virtue of any written law relating to interest on judgments." In her judgment dated 22nd August 2017 in Leon Moses v Denash Maharaj, Chandra Bushan Ragoo and Trinre Insurance Company (Trinidad and Tobago) Limited CV2016-02506, the Honourable Madame Justice Mohammed found that the Insurance Company, was liable to satisfy the judgment against the First and Second Defendants pursuant to section 10 (1) of the said Act. However in relation to this section it should be noted that the Privy Council in The Presidential Insurance Company Ltd v Mohammed and others [2015] UKPC 4 highlighted as follows: "The insurer's liability under this section arises only if it has been given timely notice of the commencement of the proceedings against the insured (section 10(2)). Section 10(3) allows the insurer to escape liability under this section if it raises proceedings before or within three months of the commencement of the action against the insured, and obtains a declaration that, apart from any provision in the insurance policy, it is entitled to avoid the policy on the ground that the policy was obtained by non-disclosure of a material fact or the false representation of a material fact."
THE PROVISIONS OF THE ACT WHICH OVERRIDE THE LANGUANGE OF INSURANCE POLICIES AND RENDER RESTRICTIONS OF NO EFFECT:
Section 8 (1) of the Act stipulates that conditions subsequent to a claim giving the insurer the right to deny liability shall be of no effect as far as third party liability is concerned. According to this section the insurer therefore has to treat with the third party claim even though their insured committed a breach of the claims condition on the policy.
Section 12 (1) of the Act, sets out that certain restrictions on policies shall be of no effect in relation to third party risks. The Act expressly sets out that this provision relates to restrictions as follows:
(a) the age or physical or mental condition of persons driving the vehicle;
(b)the condition of the vehicle;
(c)the number of persons that the vehicle carries;
(d) the weight or physical characteristics of the goods that the vehicle carries;
(e)the times at which or the areas within which the vehicle is used;
(f)the horse power or value of the vehicle;
(g)the carrying on the vehicle of any particular apparatus; or
(h)the carrying on the vehicle of any particular means of identification other than any means of identification required to be carried by or under this Act.
Where an insurer satisfies a third party claim but could have avoided doing so according to the terms of the policy, it is entitled to recover the amount from the insured: Section 12 (2) of the said Act.
In such instances the insurers can sue the insured for breach of contract to recover monies paid to the third party. The Honourable Mr. Justice Kokaram (as he then was), in Vanissa Sukhbir v GTM Fire Insurance Company Limited HCA S416 of 2001 highlighted that: "The general principles of contract law are applicable to the formation of contracts of insurance."
THE PROBLEM IN RELATION TO UNINSURED DRIVERS:
In The Presidential Insurance Company Ltd v Mohammed and others (supra) the Privy Council recognised that "there remains a serious problem about innocent victims suffering bodily injury or property damage as a result of the negligence of uninsured drivers. Parliament has attempted to address this social evil but loopholes remain. In Resha St Hill the Privy Council noted that there was no equivalent of the Motor Insurers Bureau or other facility to ensure that the victims of negligent but uninsured drivers did not go uncompensated. It also pointed out (para 31) that section 12 might be the natural section on which to build if the legislative aim is to provide compulsory insurance cover, regardless of the policy definition of the persons covered, when anyone uses an insured vehicle with the policyholder's consent."
In the case of Elizabeth Ram (Administrator of the Estate of Pearl Baboolal) v Motor and General Insurance Company Limited [2015] UKPC 22, the Deceased, while travelling in a maxi taxi, died during a collision along with several other persons and other passengers were injured. By the time the claim was filed the Insurance Company's position was that it had already paid out the maximum $1,000,000 to third parties with claims arising out of the accident and that it had thus already discharged its contractual liabilities to its insured, which reflected the statutory requirements of the Act. The issue before the Privy Council was whether an insurance company, before it pays third party claims under an insurance policy which has a contractual monetary limit on the aggregate of claims arising out of one event which equates with the statutory minimum cover, must (a) ascertain the total claims arising from the event and (b) where the total exceeds the limit, devise a scheme for the proportionate payment of the claims. In this case the Privy Council found that: "Where there is a contractual or statutory limit on a liability insurance fund and multiple claimants whose claims are likely to exceed the fund, there may be good policy arguments for the creation of a scheme for the rateable payment of claimants to avoid injured persons being left out in the cold. In Trinidad and Tobago, serious motor vehicle accidents involving maxi-taxis or larger public transport vehicles may readily give rise to such problems. But the answer does not lie in developing the common law in a way that would be inconsistent with the existing statutory provision. Unless the insurance industry can devise a scheme for obtaining the consent of all victims in an accident to the rateable distribution of an insurance fund, it is a problem which, if so advised, Parliament will have to address."
This Learning from the Privy Council is applicable to many aspects of our Motor Vehicle Insurance Legislation which is in need of constant evaluation review and amendment where necessary.

JMEM_180604_055.JPG: Javier Valdez Cárdenas Ríodoce Mexico Javier Valdez Cárdenas was dragged out of his car and shot 12 times outside his office at Ríodoce magazine in broad daylight on May 15, 2017. The killers took his laptop and cell phone and fled. Journalists at Ríodoce were threatened and attacked for their reporting on Sinaloa Cartel -- Mexico's oldest and most powerful cartel. Valdez was internationally recognized for his fearless investigative reporting on organized crime, corruption and politics as well as his books on Mexico's drug war. In 2011, he received the Committee to Protect Journalists' International Press Freedom Award. Two months before his death, Valdez told CPJ that he feared for his life. In April 2018, a suspect was arrested in his murder, but his colleagues fear it will be difficult to get convictions in Mexico, where journalists' deaths frequently go unsolved. Valdez was 50.
