Upload it into to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
Plugin settings are accessible from the "NinjaFirewall" menu.
See our blog article: Protecting NinjaFirewall's PHP INI file.
Log into the WordPress admin dashboard, go to the "Plugins" menu and click on the "Deactivate" link.
Log into the WordPress admin dashboard, go to the "NinjaFirewall > Firewall Options > Firewall protection", select "Disabled" and click on the "Save Firewall Options" button.
Rename the PHP INI (php.ini, .user.ini or php5.ini) or the .htaccess file that contains the NinjaFirewall auto_prepend_file directive. Use this method only if you cannot get access to your WordPress admin dashboard.
This is the most common problem experienced by some users. At the end of the installation process, it displays the Error: the firewall is not loaded message.
See our blog article: Troubleshoot NinjaFirewall installation problems.
DO NOT rename NinjaFirewall folder or files as this would only make things worse.
Connect to your server via FTP and download the PHP INI and/or .htaccess files located inside your WordPress root folder (this is where is also located your main index.php page, the blog configuration wp-config.php and its license file license.txt etc).
Edit those files and remove all lines that start with BEGIN NinjaFirewall and end with END NinjaFirewall.
Re-upload those files to your server.
If the operation was successful, you should be able to access your WordPress admin console, go to the "Plugins" menu and click on the "Deactivate" link under NinjaFirewall.
Connect to your server via FTP.
Log in to the WP admin console, click on "NinjaFirewall > Login Protection" and reconfigure the brute-force protection options.
The problem may come from your PHP session save handler (session.save_handler) configuration which is not set up to use files.
The problem can be due to your PHP configuration that may require a few minutes before the PHP INI file, which was edited during the uninstallation process, is reloaded by PHP. If this is your own server, simply restart PHP (e.g. PHP-FPM) or your HTTP server (Apache) in order to reload the INI file immediately, otherwise, you need to wait a couple of minutes, until the file is reloaded. The problem will then go away.
Restart Apache after making the change.
If you are on a shared hosting account, contact your host about the issue.
Rename this file to wp-db.php.
Upload it into your WordPress root folder.
Ask your visitor to give you that number.
Check your firewall log ("Firewall Log" menu from your WordPress administration interface) and find the rule number that matches the incident ID you want to disable. They are displayed in the INCIDENT and RULE columns.
Go to the "Rules Editor" menu, select the corresponding rule number from the enabled rules list and disable it.
Note: if the RULE column from your log shows a hyphen "-" instead of a number, that means that the rule can be changed in your "Firewall Policies" page.
Further reading: Testing NinjaFirewall without blocking your visitors.
If you have access to the admin dashboard, you can export it from the "Firewall Options" menu.
Why is NinjaFirewall different from other security plugins for WordPress?
NinjaFirewall includes a very powerful filtering engine that can detect Web Application Firewall evasion techniques and obfuscation tactics used by hackers, as well as support and decode a large set of encodings. See our blog for a detailed description: An introduction to NinjaFirewall v3.0 filtering engine.
Do I need root privileges to install NinjaFirewall?
NinjaFirewall does not require root privileges and is fully compatible with shared hosting accounts. You can install it from your WordPress admin console, just like a regular plugin.
NinjaFirewall works with Nginx and others Unix-based HTTP servers like Apache and LiteSpeed as long as they support the auto_prepend_file PHP directive (either in PHP INI or .htaccess files).
Do I need to alter my PHP scripts?
You do not need to make any modifications to your scripts. NinjaFirewall hooks all requests before they reach your scripts. It will even work with encoded scripts (ionCube, ZendGuard, SourceGuardian etc).
Will NinjaFirewall detect the correct IP of my visitors if I am behind a CDN service like Cloudflare or Incapsula?
If you are using NinjaFirewall (WP+ Edition), you can modify the source IP from the "Access Control > Source IP" menu. If you are using NinjaFirewall (WP Edition), you can use an optional configuration file to tell NinjaFirewall which IP to use. Please follow these steps.
How can I restrict access to NinjaFirewall settings and menu?
See our blog article: Restricting access to NinjaFirewall (WP Edition) settings.
I moved my wp-config.php file to another directory. Will it work with NinjaFirewall?
Just like WordPress does, NinjaFirewall will look for the wp-config.php script in the current folder or, if it cannot find it, in the parent folder.
Will it slow down my site?
Your visitors will not notice any difference with or without NinjaFirewall. From WordPress administration console, you can click on "NinjaFirewall > Statistics" menu to see the benchmarks and statistics (the fastest, slowest and average time per request). NinjaFirewall is very fast, optimised, compact, requires very low system resources and outperforms other security plugins.
By blocking dangerous requests and bots before WordPress is loaded, it will save bandwidth and reduce server load.
Is there a Microsoft Windows version?
NinjaFirewall works on Unix-like servers only. There is no Windows version and we do not expect to release any.
Can I add/write my own security rules?
You can use the optional .htninja configuration file for that purpose.
Can I migrate my site(s) with NinjaFirewall installed?
Export your NinjaFirewall configuration from the "Firewall Options" menu.
With your FTP client, download its log and cache folder located in /wp-content/nfwlog/.
Upload its /wp-content/nfwlog/ folder to your new site (unless you already copied it during the blog migration).
Reimport its configuration from the "Firewall Options" menu.
Note that "File Check" configuration cannot be exported/imported.
Log in to your administration console, click on the "Plugins" menu and deactivate the NinjaFirewall.
Click "Delete" to remove it. The uninstaller will delete all plugin files and the database rows it created during the installation.
If you want to delete the firewall logs as well, remove the /wp-content/nfwlog/ directory.
Warning: you have some read-only system files; please read this if you want to uninstall NinjaFirewall.
Go to to WordPress "Plugins" menu and deactivate NinjaFirewall.
Connect to your server via FTP and download the read-only files mentioned in the "Overview" page.
If the operation was successful, NinjaFirewall should be disabled and you should see a welcome screen offering you to install it if you click on the "Overview" menu.
Go back to "Plugins" menu and uninstall NinjaFirewall safely.
Failure to follow the above steps will likely cause your site to crash.
See Troubleshooting section for more details.
NinjaFirewall (WP/WP+ Edition) can use an optional configuration file that lets users prepend their own PHP code to the firewall.
If your document root is /home/user/public_html/, the location of the file will be /home/user/.htninja.
This is the recommended choice. Because it is located outside the document root, the file is relatively safe and protected. However, if you have an open_basedir restriction, PHP will not be able to access it.
If your document root is /home/user/public_html/, the location of the file will be /home/user/public_html/.htninja.
Recommended only if you have an open_basedir restriction. If you are using the Apache HTTP server, the file is relatively protected because, by default, it will never serve a file whose name starts with .ht*. However, if you are using Nginx or any other HTTP server that do not use .htaccess files, you must set it up so that it will block any access to the file from a web browser.
Any .htninja directive will be processed first, even before NinjaFirewall brute-force protection.
NinjaFirewall package contains a sample file, named .htninja.sample.
It is a regular PHP file. Note that it does not contain a PHP closing tag (?>). We recommend to keep it that way, because if there was a space or new line character after a closing tag, it would trigger errors on your site (PHP would need to send HTTP headers in order to ouput those characters before your website is loaded). This problem does not occur when the PHP closing tag is missing.
In the above example, NinjaFirewall's log folder would be /foo/bar/somewhere/nfwlog/.
Users of NinjaFirewall (WP+ Edition) can perform the same task from the "Access Control > Source IP" menu option rather than using the .htninja file.
Because it works before WordPress is loaded, NinjaFirewall needs to find and read your wp-config.php in order to find and use the database credentials (it cannot use the include() or require() functions because that would load the core part of WordPress). If you have a complex DB setup that NinjaFirewall is not able to properly retrieve, you can give it a MySQLi link identifier in the .htninja.
$GLOBALS['nfw_mysqli']: the MySQLi link identifier.
ALLOW: the firewall will accept the request immediately and will not filter it.
BLOCK: the firewall will block the request (403 Forbidden) and close the connection immediately.
This is the fastest way to allow or block a request because it will be processed before WordPress is loaded and even before NinjaFirewall loads its own configuration. Note that, for this reason, the firewall will not write the event to its log.
If you whitelist your IP using the .htninja, NinjaFirewall Live Log feature will not work.
To block or allow IPv4 CIDR (e.g., 1.1.1.1/24) or custom IP ranges, see this discussion and that one on the WordPress.org forum.
Users of NinjaFirewall (WP+ Edition) can whitelist or blacklist IPs from the "Access Control > IP Access Control" menu option rather than using the .htninja file.

Disney Planning a Jim Henson Biopic
By Claude Brodesser-Akner
Just a month after Disney hired Flight of the Conchords co-creator James Bobin to direct a new Muppet movie, studio insiders now tell Vulture that the studio is also in discussions with the Jim Henson Company to make The Muppet Man, a biopic about Jim Henson. We're told that both Henson (the company, obviously) and Disney execs are extremely interested in hiring commercial and music-video director Michael Gracey to make the film.
The script, written by Australian scribe Christopher Weekes, topped last year's "Black List," the industry's unofficial rundown of the best unproduced screenplays. However, when Weekes wrote the script, which contains flights of fancy in which crucial moments in Henson's life are played out by Muppets, he did so without securing the rights to either Henson or his creations. So a Disney and Henson Company collaboration is likely the only way this film could be made: The Henson Company controls the life rights to Henson and his surviving ex-wife, Jane, while Disney bought the rights to the Muppets in 2004. Finally, the two sides seem to have stopped arguing over who should pull the strings and are collaborating on getting it made.

My current major research interest is in personalized medicine – development of statistical methods for testing dynamic treatment regimes (adaptive treatment strategies) through sequentially randomized designs, for screening viable treatment regimes from observational data, and for identifying important variables for forming dynamic treatment regimes. Other methodological research interest includes multivariate ordinal longitudinal data analysis, survival analysis in the presence of misclassified events, and analysis of variance for censored survival data, length biased data, and joint modeling of longitudinal and time-to-event data measured with error. My collaborative research interest includes development of multi-stage depression treatment regimes, sequential treatment decisions in depression treatment, development of risk scores for complications in bariatric surgery, analysis of outcomes in hepatitis B and C clinical trials and cohort studies, and weight loss in young adults.

In Annapolis you'll find a bed & breakfast that combines 100 years of history with modern sustainability; and owner and proprietor Cory Bonney wouldn't have it any other way. As a life long nature lover and photographer, Cory wanted the inn he purchased in 2000 to reflect his values as well.
Before its official opening as a B&B in 2002, there were a number of updates, upgrades, and expansions to make on the property. The building was previously a corner grocery store and home based business built at the turn of the 20th century. At the turn of the 21st century Cory began updating it for another type of home based business.
As part of the upgrades, Cory installed highly insulated windows and repurposed concrete siding and side boards to reduce the need for excessive heating or cooling of the house. The aluminum roof was coated with 20-year paint, a more durable, long term option. Cory took advantage of the strides forward in energy efficient household appliances, including replacing all the old inefficient incandescent light bulbs, using 5 zoned programmable thermostats for the air conditioning, and modern high efficiency washer and dryer units.
Where the Inn at Horn Point really excels is in the 4 R's of sustainability: reduce, reuse, recycle, and renew. Despite having over 1700 guests a year, and housing his entire family (Cory, his wife, plus four children), the Inn sends less than one standard 30 gallon trash can to the landfill per month! Cory also invested in three 50 gallon rain barrels that he uses on his organic herb garden filled with drought resistant plants. This helps the Inn cut down on its water use and reduces the carbon footprint of the food they consume.
Cory was sick of wasting food, so five years ago he began composting the Inn's food scraps and leftovers. By lining the bottom of an empty kitty litter container with egg cartons, he created an easily accessible and odorless compost container he keeps under the sink that he can periodically take out to his compost pile that enriches their organic garden.
After composting at the Inn for the last few years, Cory helped his neighbors start their own compost systems that one neighbor actually uses to help feed her chickens. Not only does the Inn's compost pile reduce what they are contributing to the local landfill, but it also has provided nutritional supplements to the gardens and animals of Cory and his neighbors.
The other key to sending only one trash bag to the landfill a month is recycling. He gives credit to the area's excellent recycling facilities that accept everything from water bottles and soda cans, to often overlooked items like aluminum foil, cling wrap, and plastic bags. Cory even goes so far as to disassemble old pens into the parts that are recyclable.
While running the Inn at Horn Point, Cory shows us that with a few deliberate lifestyle changes it's easy, healthy, and beneficial to live and work more sustainably.

Absolutely competent, timely and professional.
The town itself is not bad, but it depends on the person and do exactly what you want from the whole experience. Tourist place in which, in principle, have only the beach, amusement park, the main promenade and a number of clubs / bars. For me it is pretty tired pretty fast, but I can not say that I was not a fun year, because it really is. Here comes the summer is lower to the middle class, so they are not something generous as far as the tip, plus season was desperate. Do not expect this one to restore the magic figure as in Alaska. Choose this place if you want to mess around, you see the surrounding cities, restore and clean invested a little over it earn.
Experience with employer Landing at the Sunset Island was neutral.
This restaurant is located in the so-called "gated community" that live in the surrounding housing people with slightly deeper pockets, and therefore such a sorry i was clientele. But again, taking into account the city again was nothing special. Also, the restaurant is open air, when it rains or just bad weather, just those sent home because there is no work. As a hostess I earned $ 10.50 per hour, and I received great hours, until they started to employ more people than they need, and then we were shortening. As a server, of course, much better earns, the average was $ 3.65 plus 100/150 dollars per day, although it went up to 200,300 dollars a day. This was my second job for some time, until I was the only refuge schedule without any explanation. I have to say that the team and the whole socializing at work was the best part of working in the restaurant. While other managers were okay, the owner and wife owners are seldom happens heavy people, and whoever worked there the next years, and good luck to them.
This review represents personal opinion of Dunja who was participating Work & Travel program in year of 2016 with agency AYUSA, working at Landing at the Sunset Island in Ocean City, MD.

Richard Gough has expressed his grave concerns for Rangers if his close friend Dave King fails in his bid to oust the current Ibrox board.
Gough has formally aligned himself with King ahead of the forthcoming Rangers general meeting where the South Africa-based businessman is confident he is already assured of the necessary backing of over 50 per cent of shareholders to effect regime change.
Kris Commons says his settled mind will help focus his sights on bringing even more silverware success to Celtic.
The Hoops gave their fans the news they wanted yesterday when the frontman signed a new two-year deal to end fears he would quit in the summer under freedom of contract.
It's a huge boost for Celtic as they approach the business end of the season with high hopes of landing the Treble and their dreams still alive in the Europa League.
Commons said: "It's awesome, a great feeling and a huge burden off my shoulders. Now I can concentrate on the proper stuff – playing football and winning more trophies for this club.
Kilmarnock manager Allan Johnston has announced his intention to leave the club at the end of the campaign.
Johnston, who guided the club to ninth place in the Scottish Premiership last season, has decided to leave the club at the conclusion of 2014-15.
This comes two days after his namesake, Michael Johnston, announced he would be stepping down from his role as chairman of the club.
The East Ayrshire side currently occupy eighth place and are without a win in their last four Premiership games.
Manager Johnston believes the club needs a new outlook in all aspects to give the fans what they deserve.
Derek Llambias has tonight hit back at Kenny McDowall and insisted he doesn't pick the Rangers team.
Ibrox chief executive Llambias insists neither he nor any other member of the board is interfering in selection.
He said: "There's no way the board is picking the team.
New Celtic signing Michael Duffy has played down comparisons with former Bhoys star Paddy McCourt and said that making his first team debut in his inaugural season at the club remains his primary target.
A winger by trade, Duffy arrived at Celtic Park on transfer deadline day from League of Ireland Premier Division outfit Derry City and has drawn comparisons with McCourt, who also arrived at the Scottish champions from the Candystripes.
"I've grown up watching Paddy McCourt for years and he's amazing, completely different class", the winger told Celtic TV.
Paul McGinn could be the next Dundee man in line for a contract extension.
The full-back, who signed a two-year deal last summer, has had tentative negotiations with the Dark Blues hierarchy recently about extending his stay at Dens Park beyond the summer of 2016.


Background: Increased weekly haemodialysis hours may improve symptom burden and mortality. However, compliance with dialysis prescription in home haemodialysis patients is not well studied. This study examines adherence with prescribed dialysis hours in home haemodialysis patients who are not remotely monitored.
Methods: The number of dialysis hours performed by each patient over a period of 1-4 months between November 2017 and April 2018 was calculated using readings of the number of hours each haemodialysis machine has run, acquired by staff during home visits from the back of the machine. Adjustment was made for of dialysis away from home, set up and machine maintenance and cleaning time. This was compared with number of hours prescribed as documented in patient's medical records. With Ethics Committee approval, patients were not aware of this change.
Results: Population: N=54 (100% home haemodialysis population), Age 53 (44-63) years, 26% Female, Diabetes 28%. Duration between the 2 readings was 11 (7-17) weeks. Percentage of prescribed hours dialysed: >=90% hours: 52%, 70-89% hours: 30%, 50-69% hours: 11% and <50% hours: 7%. Average number of hours/week performed was 16+/-7. 41% of patients dialysed <15 hours/week. 46% were prescribed, but only 35% performed, >=18hours/week.
Conclusion: Recording the hours haemodialysis machines have been running provides a useful estimate of the haemodialysis hours being completed at home. It is minimally intrusive on patient privacy and requires no special equipment and little additional staff time. It does not provide information on exact haemodialysis session frequency or duration being performed. Rates of poor compliance with prescribed dialysis hours in home patients are significant and may contribute to the lack of consistent improvement in outcomes seen in many clinical trials.

Alexander Erick Martínez Ávila, also known as Erick Martínez, (January 18, 1980 - May 5, 2012) was a Honduran advocate and spokesperson for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) minority rights in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. A former journalist, he went into public relations for Asociación Kukulcán. He was also known to be a "Zelayista" activist. Days after his announcement to run as a Resistencia Party congressional candidate in the November elections, Martínez went missing and was found strangled to death about 3 kilometers from the capital.

Of those murdered in Honduras, Martínez is one of between 20 and 62 LGBT Hondurans since 2010 and one of 22 journalists and supporters of ousted president Manuel Zelaya since the 2009 Honduran coup d'état.

Another visible LGBT Honduran activist and Zelayista, Walter Tróchez, was murdered on 13 December 2009 in Tegucigalpa.

Career
Ávila studied journalism at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras.  He contributed to a number of HIV publications, where he brought light to issues concerning HIV and human rights in Honduras.  He was best known as the spokesman of Kukulcán. In this organization he co-facilitated the Speaking Out! regional HIV advocacy training for MSM and transgender advocates. This was held in Tela, Honduras.  His involvement in MSM and also founding the Diversity Resistance Movement (MDR) led to his  nomination to run for office in the Francisco Morazán Department for the Libre party, the political wing of the National Popular Resistance Front.

Death

Ávila was selected as a candidate for the National Congress of Honduras in the November national elections because of his support for the LGBT community in Honduras. Three weeks after his announcement for candidacy, Martínez went missing. Two days later, on 7 May 2012, his body was found in a ditch on the road between Olancho Department and Tegucigalpa and 3 km from the capital outside Aldea Guasculile. He appeared to have been beaten and died of asphyxia by strangulation. There is no clear motive behind his death.

Context
The murder rate in Honduras has risen dramatically in the last few years as a result of political instability, drug trafficking and organized crime. The murder per capita in Honduras has risen from 86 to 92 per every 100,000 people from 2011 to 2012. Honduras recorded 6,700 homicides in 2011 in a nation of 8 million.

President Manuel Zelaya was forced from office in a coup on June 28, 2009. President Porfirio Lobo Sosa had lost to Zelaya in 2005 and ran again and won in the November 2009 elections that followed the coup. Initially, the United States criticized the Honduran military's role in deposing the nation's democratically elected leader. However, it sent signs of support for the newly elected President Lobo after his election and the US continued to send military and security aid for drug enforcement and crime. The US broke off assistance for four months to the Hondurans in their fight against drug trafficking after the Honduran Air Force shot down several airplanes in a violation of international law in July 2012. Impunity in Honduras, especially in the high visibility cases of journalists and lawyers, is one factor behind members of the US Congress applying pressure on the US administration to withhold $50 million in aid unless Honduras was able to show an improvement in its human rights situation. According to a report in The Nation, 10,000 civilian complaints against the abuse of power have gone uninvestigated since the 2009 coup.

As a result, in the elections that Ávila was to participate in, former President Zelaya's wife Xiomara Castro was elected to lead the party in the 2013 presidential elections, with Zelaya running for Congress instead.

Impact
In December 2011, the United States announced that it would take violations of gay rights into account in foreign policy decisions, and at the time Honduras had witnessed significant levels of murders and attacks on the LGBT population.

In a forum Ávila had led before his murder, he criticized Honduras for the surge of hate crimes after the coup d'état and also said that the Honduran Constitution had no definition for a hate crime.

Reactions
The Global Forum on MSM & HIV (MSMGF) demanded an investigation into the murder of Erick Martínez. The organization praised him for his work in the LGBT community.

10 days after the killing of Ávila, radio host Alfredo Villatoro was found dead. Irina Bokova, director-general of UNESCO, said, "I am deeply concerned about this second journalist killed in Honduras in a month and call on the authorities to bring to justice the perpetrators of this crime against the basic human right of freedom of expression. Freedom of expression is the cornerstone of democracy and rule of law and it is essential that journalists be allowed to contribute freely to political and social debate."

"Building with History" - Arts and Crafts Era Bungalow House
Brent Hull discusses the Arts and Crafts movement, a revolution that embraces simple and honest architecture, as he explores a bungalow house in Texas' Fairmount Historic District.
The Arts and Crafts movement is a period of time from the late 1890s-1920s. This era was a sociological revolution—a change of feeling and mood in the country about how industrialized life had become. This movement was powered by luminaries like William Morris in England and Gustav Stickley who spoke against the over-industrialized life. The country began to embrace homes built with simple and honest in construction material.
In this video of the "Building with History" series, Brent Hull takes you inside a bungalow house built by Charles Butcher. All of the millwork within the home was available in the catalogs that actually reside in this home.

8 Rue de la Coutrue is a charming 16th century townhouse with a secluded yet sunny terrace, situated in a quiet area of the beautiful medieval village of Saint Cyprien, a stone's throw from shops and restaurants whilst offering the peace and quiet needed to guarantee a relaxing stay.
This fully renovated, 426 year old (L-shaped) townhouse is located in the center of the village of St. Cyprien in the heart of the Perigord Noir region of the Dordogne Valley, South West France. It is located just below the town's 800 year old Romanesque Cathedral and just a hundred metres from the centre of town with it's fountain, restaurants, patissieres, markets, cafes and bistros.
It is an all season house with double glazed windows through-out, a new glass fronted, wood burning fireplace insert with built in electric turbine/fan plus all new wall mounted, high-efficiency electrical radiators in each room to keep the house warm and cosy even over Christmas.
1st floor: Living room (satellite TV, surround sound DVD), dining room/solarium, large kitchen, dish washer, washing machine, WC. House has free high-speed wifi.
From the solarium/dining room you walk out via large double sliding glass doors onto a private terrace planted with roses and lavender which gets the sun all day. The terrace is equipped with a gas grill/bbq, a small romantic 'bistro cafe table', and if required a patio table with umbrella that can seat 8.
2nd floor: Two bright and airy bedrooms with large windows overlooking the ancient tiled roofs of the village. Both bedrooms have queen sized beds and share a large 5-piece full bathroom with a tub and glassed in shower; It even has a heated towel rack for winter mornings.
3rd floor: A very large, bright and well ventilated finished attic room with bed, featuring a double bed is perfect for children (and it has an extra, large air mattress and pump if required).
To make a reservation please book through our local property management company "En Toutes Saison" in St. Cyprien. Sabine and her team there will be glad to assist you with any questions and if you have any problems while at the house, their office is 48 Rue Gambetta, just a couple of hundred metres from the house.
There are lots of free parking areas very close to our house, although the laneway itself is not open to traffic, you can park at either end of the laneway. Unlike other nearby villages which are major tourist attractions and consequently finding a parking spot can be a real challenge, St. Cyprien is much quieter and we seldom have difficultly finding a spot even during the high season of July/Aug, unless of course there is a special event on, a street market, wine festival or the like.
Note: By using "Google Maps Street View" you can virtually 'walk' along the streets of St. Cyprien to orientate yourself before actually getting there, which is a good way to see where the parking is in relation to the house.


Amazon is likely going to take a pass on locating its new headquarters in the Chicago area. Now I admit that I do not know what Dallas or Washington or New York has offered Amazon to lure it to those areas, however, I do know what Illinois offers.
Illinois offers Amazon a dysfunctional state government with a legislature that is one sided and sadly partisan. Property and personal taxes also play a role in keeping companies away.
The Chicago area offers Amazon an urban environment that is overrun with gang violence from Rogers Park to Englewood. Over 600 homicides and 2,000 shootings in 2017 are not the allure companies are seeking.
The Chicago area is just not as relevant as it once was (or thinks it is). Sure, many companies still call the area home, but attracting outsiders into the fold is very difficult when you offer what Illinois offers.

Carson Valley Medical Center's staff of primary care providers.
When it comes to good health, there's one medical professional you simply can't do without: a primary care provider.
This is your main provider—the person who will see you through non-emergency illnesses, from a sore back to a cough that won't go away. He or she can treat most medical problems. And if not, this provider will get you to a specialist who can.
But a primary care provider does more than help you feel better when you're sick. He or she will help keep you healthy. And that means, among other things, partnering with you to catch small health problems before they become serious, and making sure you're up-to-date on potentially lifesaving screening tests.
Over time, your primary care provider will also get to know you as a person. That way you can feel comfortable talking about anything that's bothering you—physically or emotionally.
How valuable is a primary care provider? Studies show that people who have an ongoing relationship with one are less likely to die prematurely than those who don't.
Family practitioners, who care for people of all ages, from newborns to seniors.
Internists, who care for adults of all ages with many different medical problems.
Pediatricians, who care for newborns, infants, children and adolescents.
Geriatricians, who often care for older adults with complex medical problems.
Obstetricians-gynecologists, who often serve as PCPs for women, especially those in their childbearing years.
Nurse practitioners and physician assistants, who go through a different training and certification process than doctors but also provide excellent primary care.
Carson Valley Medical Center's primary care clinics now have additional family practitioners, physician assistants and nurse practitioners, along with expanded hours, to better serve the healthcare needs of the Carson Valley community.
Our 17 providers, located across six clinics around Carson Valley, are uniquely equipped to serve patients of all ages and needs.
We accept most major insurances. Walk-in appointments are available at several of our locations.

Jane Philpott (right) posted this photo of her and Jody Wilson-Raybould on social media on the day the latter quit the Trudeau cabinet.
A few weeks ago, I speculated that Gerry Butts had won the Liberal caucus back to Justin Trudeau's side over the SNC-Lavalin controversy. It was in part due to Butts informing the justice committee that Jody Wilson-Raybould turned down the portfolio of indigenous affairs in the January cabinet shuffle. Imagine you are among the 145 or so Liberal MPs who are not in cabinet (but think you are qualified to be), and you heard that. Holy cow, right?
It also helped that deputy justice minister Nathalie Drouin revealed to the justice committee that Wilson-Raybould held back a report that the PMO had requested – an insubordination on Wilson-Raybould's part. These two points have received little attention from a media that is in the second month of a narrative in which Justin Trudeau and SNC-Lavalin are the villains, and Jody-Wilson Raybould and Jane Philpott are the victims.
But Liberal MPs see the world a little differently. "Their thinking is probably that there were missteps on both sides, but enough is enough," was my suspicion on where Liberals MPs were at. That feeling has been busting out all over in recent days, most notably from the mouths of Liberal cabinet ministers and MPs.
What broke the dam of Liberal reticence to publicly call out the two former ministers? It was probably Jane Philpott's interview with Paul Wells of Macleans, which went online while MPs were stuck in the House of Commons Wednesday night and Thursday morning. The marathon was thanks to the Conservatives demanding a recorded roll call on every one of their amendments to the government's funding estimates, in protest of the Liberals shutting down the justice committee's inquiry into SNC-Lavalin.
Jane Philpott, who resigned from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's cabinet earlier this month over the SNC-Lavalin affair, faced a barrage of tough questions from her Liberal colleagues Wednesday during a closed-door session of the Ontario caucus, sources told CBC News.
Today, some of her fellow Liberal MPs reminded her that others in the caucus had made compromises on sensitive issues such as medical assistance in dying — one of the key pieces of legislation Philpott fronted as health minister, along with then-justice minister Jody Wilson-Raybould.
[Philpott] believes, as she put it, that "there's much more to the story that needs to be told" but that it can't come out because "there's been an attempt to shut down the story"—an attempt she attributed to the Prime Minister and his close advisors.
Then on Friday, Jody Wilson-Raybould advised the justice committee that she would supply it with a written statement and documents relating to her prior testimony.
Whoever started it, Liberal MPs are now being vocal about wanting to finish it, and the reasons are obvious.
Last week's budget – normally the biggest government announcement of the year, followed by days of additional events – has disappeared like a pebble in an ocean. Did you know that Justin Trudeau had three budget-related events last week? Probably not. But you may have seen him on the evening news, being asked about SNC-Lavalin at every one.
When asked if she thought Trudeau was being targeted by Wilson-Raybould and Philpott, Sgro didn't mince words. "It certainly appears to be that way," she said.
Then the big guns came out: Liberal ministers Melanie Joly and Karina Gould echoed Sgro's "put up or shut up," albeit more politely. They publicly urged Wilson-Raybould and Philpott to use their parliamentary privilege to say whatever they want about SNC-Lavalin and be done with it.
Gould told Global News: "What we were hearing from many people yesterday was, if you feel that you have more to say, then say it," Gould said when asked about the matter. "They both have mechanisms available to them if they chose to share this with Parliament and those are their decisions." She also delicately pointed out that Philpott had not been present for any of the meetings where Wilson-Raybould was pressured over SNC-Lavalin.
Wilson-Raybould and Philpott did not heed Scarpaleggia's implicit warning: move on. Instead of moving on, they have continued to irk their caucus colleagues by supplying more fodder to a hungry media. With Gerry Butts and privy council clerk Michael Wernick now gone, some Liberals fear the two women are explicitly (or naively) targeting Trudeau himself.
Philpott and Wilson-Raybould may not realize it, but they are perched on the gangplank of HMS Liberal. If they do not walk off it themselves, they will probably be pushed.

Vet visits can be stressful. All those strange smells and sounds, plus the potential for uncomfortable pokes and prods, are enough to make any dog nervous. For anxious dogs, in particular, going to the vet is a trial.
However, anxious dogs don't have to be anxious patients. With preparation, desensitization, and some helpful tools, your anxious dog might even learn to enjoy the vet. Read on for our top tips and tricks for taking an anxious dog to the vet.
In the interim, or if your pet's anxiety is always going to be too high for a typical office visit, you can also have a vet come to your house. Services like Vetted help make it easy to bring the vet to you. They're offering Rover readers $50 off, in fact.
Desensitization training is a great way to address your dog's anxiety around any number of fears. It involves gradual exposure to the anxiety trigger at a pace your dog can tolerate.
For some dogs, that means starting at home, before you even get near the vet's office. For example, if your dog has learned to associate riding in the car with going to the vet, you'll need to start before getting in the car. You can help your dog form positive associations by giving them lots of treats and cheerful praise when approaching the car.
Like any form of training, desensitization takes time, patience, and commitment. Thankfully, it's a great way to bond with your dog and the rewards are huge. Click here for VCA's full introduction to desensitization training.
I know, I know: how can the vet be fun? But actually, making casual, non-medical visits to the vet's office can help your anxious dog learn to adjust. It's another form of desensitization training; the goal is to teach your dog to associate the building (and its smells) with positive feelings.
Most veterinary offices are happy to welcome visitors during off-peak hours. Just call ahead to ask if it's okay to stop by. When you get to the office, let your dog visit with staff and sniff around the waiting room, and be sure give them lots of positive encouragement and treats.
Repeat these casual visits once every couple of weeks. Over time, your dog will form a positive association with the building (and maybe even the walk or drive to get there).
Physical activity is a common recommendation to help manage all kinds of dog behavioral issues. That's because it works! Exercise increases your dog's happiness and health, and wearing them out before a veterinary check-up can help them relax in the office.
Before your scheduled appointment, go for a long walk, or play fetch in the park for an hour. Whatever activity your dog likes that will wear them out, do it. Of course, this works best if your dog is in good health. If they're going to the vet for an illness or injury and can't handle hard exercise, try something else on the list.
My dog is anxious in many settings, but he's especially nervous about being handled by strangers. Let's face it: having your feet, ears, and eyes examined is weird!
You can help your dog get used to exam handling by practicing at home. Start practicing in short, daily sessions. Handle their ears, look at their teeth, and hold their paws. Be sure to give them lots of praise and treats as you go.
Get the whole family, and trusted friends, involved in this long-term training goal. The more people your dog can tolerate handling them, the better. Make it routine, and over time, veterinary examinations will seem like just another training session.
Many anxious dogs are most calm in the comfort of their own home. If your dog is truly too anxious to handle a vet office visit, consider a vet who makes house calls. It's far better to get your dog the medical attention they need at home than put it off because it's too stressful to go to the office.
Services like Vetted make this easy; you can also try calling around to your local vet practices to inquire.
Of course, you don't want your dog to form new negative associations at home! Even if you find a vet who makes house calls, it's important to work on desensitization training and make your dog as comfortable as possible. Start with a social visit so your dog can get to know the doctor before they bust out the stethoscope. Most in-home vets offer free or low-cost introductory visits to ensure a positive first interaction for everyone.
If your dog is in the midst of ongoing medical treatment, you might not have time to build up their vet tolerance gradually. In that case, an anxiety aid may help. Calming collars, pressure wraps, herbal supplements, pheromone sprays, and other anxiety aids can all help make your dog more comfortable at the vet.
Medication is also an option, though it's typically considered a last resort. My own anxious dog takes a mild sedative at home a couple hours before each vet visit. Just be aware that for some dogs, a medication that makes them feel disoriented can increase their anxiety. In general, it's better to work on socialization and training that will ease your dog's anxiety at the vet.
Those of us with anxious dogs may internalize some of their stress. Personally, I know I tend to brace myself at the vet, expecting something to go wrong. But one of the best ways to help my anxious dogs is to be mindful of my own anxiety.
Dogs are highly sensitive animals and respond to the energy, and body language, of their humans. To ease vet anxiety in your dog, you have to ease your own. Take deep breaths, and remain calm. Move slowly and deliberately. Project calm confidence, and your dog will pick it up. Of course, it helps to have treats on hand!
If your dog is anxious in general, a vet visit can make them extra-nervous. In addition to context-specific tools for managing vet visits, it's important to address your dog's anxiety holistically. In other words, treat the root of the issue.

Maika Rivera airs her side on rift with Calvin Abueva

Ray-Ray Parks's girlfriend clarified matters regarding how her confrontation with Calvin Abueva went. PBA Media Group (file photo)
MANILA — Maika Rivera, the girlfriend of Blackwater Elite rookie Ray Parks, took time to talk to Dugout Philippines on Sunday afternoon over the phone to air her side of the story amid her rift with Phoenix Fuel Masters stalwart, Calvin Abueva.
"I'd like to make it clear that it is not in my heart to band and to fine [Calvin] Abueva. I just want him to learn a lesson," said Rivera.
Rivera went on to belie Abueva's claims of racial slur and saying profane words against him. The incident that happened at the Mall of Asia Arena last Friday, after Abueva fouled out with less than a minute to play in the ball game.
"Never did I say a racial slur or whatever against Calvin Abueva. Doing so means it would disrespect Ray [Parks] and my future children," she continued
Rivera mentioned that she respects everyone around her, and there is no way that she would ever say a racial slur at anyone regardless of their social status, considering that she is also dating someone who is of African-American descent.
She added that Abueva is not an exception, saying that she respects the latter as an athlete who represents the Philippines and raises the flag in his athletic prowess.
She recalled that Abueva was looking at her, laughing and pointing at the score board at the dying minutes of the fourth period, insisting that it was the Phoenix player that ignited the rift and not the other way around.
"Binabaliktad ni Calvin yung pangyayari. He started it, we were standing there not to taunt him. My companions and I were only saying 'Bye' because he fouled out and he should not be staying in the court," Rivera further claimed
Rivera also cleared out that they were at the ringside, instead of sitting behind Blackwater's bench because the tickets were given to them to the last minute.
"I was not supposed to come to the game, I was supposed to be out of town with my family but it didn't push through so I decided to just watch the game. The ringside tickets were given to us the last minute, we wanted to transfer pero dun na din kasi naupo yung isang anak nung owner. Nagsabi na din sya sa amin na dun na lang kami," she continued.
She also added that it makes her wonder of how sure Abueva was that it was her really her who said that racial slur and the profane language against him when he was in the court, all along, playing the game.
"I swear that the racial slur and the f*** you word didn't come from me or from any of my companions. I would lose my job if I do something racist. I do not want fame this way, I'd rather be famous in showbiz in a way that I've been working hard," Rivera quipped.
As respect for the league, in spite the fact that Ray Parks and the rest of Blackwater Elite is playing a game, Sunday afternoon at the Ynares Stadium, Rivera opted not to go out and watch the game physically. She rather opted to watch the game at home with her friends, proving that the fanfare that this issue had garnered is something that she is not after.
The official statement coming from Phoenix has also reached her, even if the team nor anyone from the Commissioner's office had come to her for update on the issue but as it stands, she has been told that it it most likely that Abueva will be fined for his action.
"I don't think the fine is necessary. I don't want him fined or banned or lose his job because I respect him as a man of his house. What I am after is for the team and for the league to teach him a lesson that he would learn because this is not the first time that this has happened to him and a fan."
She said that instead of Abueva calling her b****, he could have asked the security or Ray [Parks] to call her out.
"I know the ethics of an athlete as I have been one myself. Basketball is not my life and I'm only there because I support my man. Wala naman ako problema kay Calvin as a person, sa actions nya lang yung problema. Hindi nya dapat ginawa yun against a woman, in front of many people in a public place such as a basketball arena.
"I hope there was a better way to handle that thing, not humiliate nor do gestures," Rivera laments.
In parting, Rivera hopes that the issue between her and Abueva gets cleared out soon.

Since 2012, I have traveled to Ireland, Germany, Norway, and Iceland to investigate my pastoral roots. When I arrived, I discovered that throughout history, my people and their land have been supported by these animals – goat, sheep, and ram. These animals drove the economy for generations and were sources of income and sustenance. The hoofed animals are both banal and mythical. My attraction to these animals springs from an affinity for their calm presences and their innate functional beauty. They have been shaped by the landscapes they inhabit and the lives they lead, exploring across cultural boundaries and geographic lines. While I have spent most of my life on the move, much like these animals, but these animals taught me that roaming can sustain and anchor.
The compositions and lighting in my photographs are inspired from landscape painters Albert Bierstadt, Thomas Sidney Cooper, William Holman Hunt, and John Everett Millais along with photographers from the Pictorialist movement (1885 - 1915). In the classically pastoral, the human influence is benign and the attitude respectful, suggesting contentment. I am an environmental photographer, but I am not drawn to oil spills, unsightly encroachments, or scars on the land, but I am looking for the things humans effect nonetheless. I am interested in their domesticity and want to ask the audience the question: what makes a goat, sheep or ram? How have we influenced their evolution? What are they becoming? The question concerns why and how we have created this relationship with other species is a relationship that reflects intensively on humanity.
