MAP promotes policies and programs that ensure all Marylanders have incomes sufficient to support their and their families’ basic needs. MAP advocates the maintenance of cash assistance programs for vulnerable Marylanders – including people with disabilities, families with children, and people who are unable to obtain employment. MAP supports investments in educational and vocational programs and support services that increase job skills and opportunities for low-wage workers and those seeking employment.
MAP promotes comprehensive and integrated health care for all Marylanders, especially those living in or near poverty. MAP seeks to ensure a seamless transition from safety net health services to comprehensive public health insurance within the context of health reform and the recommendations of the Maryland Health Care Reform Coordinating Council. MAP supports efforts to increase the health literacy of vulnerable Marylanders.
MAP promotes policies and programs that ensure access to high quality, consumer-centered substance abuse and mental health services for Marylanders living in or near poverty. MAP will support and defend public resources and programs. We will advocate continued funding, improvement, and development of Medical Assistance, and other public health coverage of substance abuse and mental health services. Because the timely provision of mental health and substance abuse treatment increases well-being and reduces costs throughout the system, MAP supports efforts to ensure behavioral health services are available as needed or “on demand.”
MAP promotes safe and affordable housing for Marylanders living in or near poverty. MAP advocates for resources needed to create and maintain a sufficient supply of affordable housing – as well as for policies that ensure that these resources are accessible. Because housing is the foundation of healthy communities, families and individuals, MAP supports efforts to ensure safe and stable housing for all Marylanders.
MAP will advance public policies and appropriations that increase participation in, access to, and benefits through federal and state energy assistance and weatherization programs. MAP will support changes in legislation and regulations that will ease the energy burden and prevent the potentially negative consequences of loss of utility service. Furthermore, MAP will defend and advocate for greater local, state, and private resources for programs that help prevent loss of utility service and promote energy affordability for all Marylanders.
MAP promotes programs and policies that help vulnerable Marylanders access affordable food and other resources necessary to improve their health and nutritional status. MAP supports appropriations and policies that secure access to federal nutrition programs – including the Food Supplement Program (FSP); Women, Infants, and Children (WIC); Free and Reduced Price Lunches, the School Breakfast Program, the At-Risk Afterschool Supper Program, Summer Food Service Program, and the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) – by all Marylanders experiencing or at risk of food insecurity. MAP advocates application, eligibility, and recertification policies and procedures that facilitate participation in these critical programs. MAP promotes nutritional education programs to teach and engage low-income Marylanders in healthy behaviors. Because good nutrition is critical to health and well-being, MAP supports efforts to ensure all Marylanders have access to affordable and nutritious food.
MAP promotes policies and programs that help ensure necessary educational and developmental support to Maryland’s children living in or near poverty. MAP seeks to preserve and strengthen vulnerable intact families through the provision of critical services – including through Family Support Centers, Child Care Resource Centers, the Child Care Subsidy Program, Head Start, and Early Head Start. MAP supports legislative and budgetary efforts to provide youth access to the comprehensive services necessary for their continued development and well-being. Because positive development during childhood and adolescence is critical to long-term flourishing of individuals and families, MAP advocates robust services for vulnerable children and youth.
MAP promotes policies and programs to prevent incarceration, to provide adequate and quality programs to those who are incarcerated, and to better assist those re-entering the community. MAP seeks to break cycles of arrest, release, and re-arrest experienced by too many Marylanders living in or near poverty by increasing supportive services and reducing barriers to full re-entry in the community. Because access to employment, education, housing, and comprehensive health and social services are critical to preventing incarceration and recidivism, MAP supports efforts to ensure access to these resources to all Marylanders – as well as a commitment to second chances.
MAP promotes policies and programs that ensure all Marylanders have access to appropriately priced financial services, tax credits, tax preparation, and education that help their families’ to be financially stable. MAP advocates for tax credits that reward work, lift families out of poverty, and is refundable for taxpayers in the lowest tax brackets. MAP supports investments in programs that help families to navigate the complicated financial service system and protections for consumers against unscrupulous financial service providers.

Search engine optimization (SEO) has grown to be one of the most dynamic and effective practices in enhancing web visibility and brand credibility. Because of this, lots of people have been attracted to the discipline some of whom utilize unethical practices to force their sites and those of their clients to rank highly despite having shallow content and substandard link authority.
If you want to succeed in 2016, the best approach to take is to concentrate on white hat on page SEO. This is because on page optimization caters for approximately 30% of your overall SEO practice. This article discusses the key on page optimization tips to help you boost your onsite optimization efforts and give you real results. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced SEO specialist, this content will certainly pick you up from the level in which you are to a higher level of success, visibility and credibility.
Understanding On-Page Optimization
In simple terms, on page optimization refers to the practice of tweaking, introducing and reorganizing the elements visible to you on your website or webpage so as to align your site with the webmaster guidelines for a higher ranking. The bedrock of on page optimization is the source code because that is where all the elements you are targeting are found. To check out your source code, you can use the keyboard shortcut CTRL+U and then CTRL+F to find the exact element. In order to understand each element and term in detail, read along.
This is a HTML tag inserted in the head tag. The title tag is where your keywords must be put. When correctly inserted bearing in mind the density, the keywords play an important role in search engine ranking. A good title should have a maximum of 60 characters and your selected keywords should appear at the beginning of the title tag. The title should relate to the rest of the content on your page and preferably written in small letters.
This describes briefly what the page is all about and forms a critical ranking factor. Just like the title tag, Meta description should also include the keywords in an organized and non-stuffed manner. The Meta description should be compelling because it appears in the search results and it determines whether your site visitor will click on it to visit your site or simply bounce off. You can include the location of your business, the brand name, telephone contacts, a call to action and what you do.
In HTML, the heading tags range from H1 to H6 and can easily be found in the source code. Your heading tags should be as descriptive as possible and incorporate relevant keywords. Heading tags should ideally not exceed 6 words.
Images are part of your content and must be incorporated optimally to give your site a visual appeal as well as complement your text. Since Google and other search engine bots do not understand images but only text, image optimization must be deliberately done so as to improve your site ranking. The key areas in image optimization are image URL, image title, image ALT text and image description. Some extra things to bear in mind include changing of the file name, changing of image format where necessary, and image compression so as to cut on the page loading time.
Site Loading Speed
The speed with which your site loads is important as a ranking signal and at the same time makes it convenient for your site visitors. A page or site that loads slowly irritates your visitors and makes some of them abandon your page before they opt in. This leads to higher bounce rates which is a negative search engine ranking factor. To check on the loading speed of your website, use Google’s PageSpeed Insights.
Although not as effective as inbound links, outbound links is a white hat on page SEO technique that gives your content relevance by linking to related pages and topics. To Google spiders, this paints the picture of quality information and reader convenience making your site rank highly.
XML (EXtensible Markup Language) Sitemap
A sitemap helps the search engine crawler to know beforehand the number of pages in your website and how they are arranged. When you simply type www.yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml, you can tell whether your website has a sitemap. If a 404 error shows up, it means your site doesn’t have a sitemap and hence you need to create it. There are lots of sitemap generators online such as XML-Sitemaps.
To optimize your content, you need to strategically include your keywords without stuffing them. The first keyword should appear in the first paragraph preferably in the first 50 to 100 words. Your page length needs to be 450 words and above because shorter content can send negative signals about its authority and credibility. The content should be compelling as well as unique because all these end up being factored again in user experience as part of ranking.
Social Media Buttons
The relationship between your website and social media is more or less like a spoke and hub network. Your social media networks (the spokes) are responsible for bringing traffic to your website, the hub. Ensure you have accounts with the top social media platforms which include Facebook, Google Plus, Twitter and LinkedIn. Ensure those buttons are on your website and visible. Social media icons help search engine robots to make a direct connection with your social media pages and also help your visitors enjoy an enhanced user experience.
This markup is a code which you place on your website to help search engines display more informative results for your users when they search for your business such as your business name, address, opening and closing hours as well as telephone contacts. The schema markup also ensures the information is correctly displayed on the results pages. The good thing about a schema markup is that it enables your website to rank better for all content types including book reviews, articles, movies, events, restaurants, products as well as TV episodes and their ratings.
Website Structure and Internal Linking
All your web pages must be structured hierarchically starting from the homepage and cascading to the last page. This allows for search engine spiders to move swiftly and for your site visitors to browse in an orderly way. Linking one page to another can create bridges for search engine bots thus making your site navigable and your content within reach. When placed within your article posts, internal links can help redirect your readers to other relevant and related content on your website.
These white hat on-page SEO tips and techniques can be effective in ranking your website. If you carefully follow all or most of them you will be the ultimate beneficiary because your website will come up on search engine results giving you the visibility and credibility to attract more traffic and convert.


AUSTIN, TX - Greystar Real Estate Partners, a global leader in the investment, development, and management of real estate, including rental housing, logistics and life sciences, has broken ground on Interport, a residential development that brings best in-class rental housing, within a mile of Tesla's Gigafactory and Global Headquarters.
"We're really excited to be able to bring Interport to the Del Valle neighborhood, an area of Austin that has an immense need for housing," Alex Perkins, Director of Development, said. "The community itself will feature a large clubhouse with indoor-outdoor fitness and coworking spaces. Given the community's proximity to Tesla's Headquarters, sustainability and ample greenspace were major driving forces behind the design. This area is ripe for growth, and we are excited to help pave the path for other major developments to come."
Interport, a garden style community, will have 396 apartment homes in studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom floorplans that range from 609 to 1,548 sq. ft. Each one will feature high-end finishes with stainless steel appliances and other luxury touches.
The outdoor amenities headline the amenity offerings. The community will feature a large central park in the middle of the community that will include a dog park and beer garden, along with a luxury pool, outdoor kitchen and lounge space, a pickle ball court and fitness lawn, and a community garden. The clubhouse was designed in partnership with Meeks Partners and Michael Hsu Office of Architecture and will feature interior spaces such as an indoor-outdoor coworking study and library, two clubrooms, and a fitness facility programmed by Technogym. Additionally, the community will have EV chargers available.
The community expects to begin preleasing in late 2023 with the first units delivering in early 2024.

Colon hydrotherapy is a system of colon cleansing commonly used by clinics and spas in Europe and the United States of America. Also known as colon irrigation, this treatment involves pumping sterile water into the anal canal in order to wash out its accumulated waste. In this system, a gentle gravity-fed jet of water helps soften toxic deposits in the colon and allows patients to discharge waste matter in a slow and comfortable manner. This benign and stress-free process is repeated several times during each session.

Piezoelectric Sensors Update 08/2005
2The rise of piezoelectric technology is directlyrelated to a set of inherent advantages. The highmodulus of elasticity of many piezoelectric materialsis comparable to that of many metals and goes upto 10
. Even though piezoelectric sensorsare electromechanical systems that react oncompression, the sensing elements show almostzero deflection. This is the reason why piezoelectricsensors are so rugged, have an extremely highnatural frequency and an excellent linearity over awide amplitude range. Additionally, piezoelectrictechnology is insensitive to electromagnetic fieldsand radiation, enabling measurements under harshconditions. Some materials used (especiallygalliumphosphate or tourmaline) have an extremestability over temperature enabling sensors to havea working range of 1000°C.
Comparison of sensing principles
Comparison of different sensing principles according to Gautschi. Numbers give only a tendency for the general characteristics.
The single disadvantage of piezoelectric sensors isthat they cannot be used for true staticmeasurements. A static force will result in a fixedamount of charges on the piezoelectric material.Working with conventional electronics, not perfectinsulating materials, and reduction in internal sensorresistance will result in a constant loss of electrons,yielding an inaccurate signal. ElevatedAnyhow, it would be a misconception thatpiezoelectric sensors can only be used for very fastprocesses or at ambient conditions. In fact, thereare numerous applications that show quasi-staticmeasurements while there are other applicationsthat go to temperatures far beyond 500°C.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Depending on the way a piezoelectric material iscut, three main types of operations can bedistinguished 1. transversal 2. longitudinal 3. shear.
A gallium phosphate crystal is shown with typical sensor elements manufactured out of it. Depending on the design of a sensor different ”modes” to load the crystal can be used: transversal, longitudinal and shear (arrows indicate the direction where the load is applied). Charges are generated on both ”x- sides” of the element. The positive charges on the front side are accompanied by negative charges on the back.
Gallium phosphate sensing elementstemperatures cause an additional drop in internalresistance; therefore, at higher temperatures, onlypiezoelectric materials can be used that maintain ahigh internal resistance.

Why Behind THE IMMIGRANT WIFE
Why Behind The Immigrant Wife: Her Spiritual Journey
The beginnings of The Immigrant Wife came from two sources: first, the two journals I kept in 1997 on Semester-at-Sea, University of Pittsburgh. I voyaged around the world with undergraduates sailing to Bahamas, Venezuela, Brazil, South America, Kenya, India, China, Japan, Vietnam and Philippines. I taught history of Indian, Chinese and Japanese Art and Architecture.
The second source was the story of a woman I met in Toronto, Canada. I had gone to attend the cremation of my young nephew who died a tragic death. At the last family meal in his apartment I met a newly married woman. When she discovered that I was an artist she said she was an artist too and talked passionately about her paintings. So much so, that I wanted to see them. She invited me to her home before I was to leave for Pittsburgh.
Inside her apartment, she had hung her paintings on all available space, the walls of the corridor, living room, bedroom, even bathroom. Her paintings sang songs of landscapes she had left behind, a mother saying goodbye to her child, a woman with her back towards the onlooker gazing at mountains, a girl letting go of a bird, a tender scene of a sunset. Being already vulnerable, her artwork touched my heart with the same sadness she was trying so hard to hide.
None of her paintings was recent. The reason she gave me was that since her marriage she felt blocked, unable to paint. “Start one and your clogged channel will reopen. You’ll see.” I said encouragingly.
“I don’t think so,” she said, “My husband thinks painting is a waste of time.”
I gave her my telephone number and address and in case she wanted to get in touch. I never heard from her again.
On my way back home I thought, What if that had happened to me! And the seed of a story was sown. By this time I had published non-fiction books. And suddenly I was excited to write a story. How different can writing fiction be from non-fiction? How wrong I was! (It took me a decade to write the novel.) I ended writing a novella about the Toronto woman.
After reading the two journals and the novella my husband suggested I should combine the two, write one big book and get it published. At first, I dismissed his suggestion. But the thought refused to leave my mind. And imagination is a wondrous human gift. Layer after layer the story developed. Draft after draft my non-fiction style transformed into fiction and The Immigrant Wife: Her Spiritual Journey was born.

September was also strong in another area and that was Hotel/Motel tax receipts. The bed tax brought in $72,383, which was not only $17,355 better than 2008, but was also the best September on record, breaking the September 2008 mark by about $8,106.
2000 was also the first full year the hotel/motel tax was increased from 5 percent to 8 percent as the September 2000 revenue of $64,267 doubled the September 1999 bed taxes of $31,760.
Quincy Convention and Visitor’s Bureau Executive Director Holly Cain said the Quincy Tea Party’s September 12 event was the largest single new event to take place during the month, but September was also a good month for people coming to Quincy for class reunions and weddings.
It was similar to Washington, Missouri for the July 4th event, too. The town square in Quincy was packed on September 12th and I saw many people strolling around in between speakers, checking out the neighboring restaurants and shops.


Challenging Year for Audit 2020
By: Lee Lai Mee, Chief Compliance Officer (CCO)
The Internal Audit 2020, scheduled to be carried out in January 2020 was delayed till June 2020 due to the impact of COVID Movement Control Order (MCO). However, with the strong teamwork spirit of the staff, the Internal Audit was expedited and completed on time for the External Surveillance Audit on 28 September 2020.
The certification ISO 9001 – 2015, was obtained in October 2018, and is valid for 3 years (2018-2021), subject to annual surveillance. To maintain this standard, AIBD as mandated has never halted to work towards continuous improvements.
In the 1st Surveillance Audit in 2019, the ISO Compliance Operations completed with no non-conformity issues. The audit focused on Training, Consultancy, Conference and Workshop organization for the Programme Department; whereas for the Administrative & IT department, it was on purchasing; and for Management, it was about changed directorship.
In the 2nd Surveillance Audit 2020, the ISO Compliance Operations, termed as Operation Control 2, focused on Training, Consultancy, Publication, Content Production, Handling Conference and Workshops Organisation. The audit methods used were 3-D & 1-0 method, i.e describe, documents (records), demonstrate and observation.
The Risk Management in AIBD is the on-going process that strengthens AIBD’s capabilities in the rapidly changing scenario of training and capacity building. Selected issues of concerns are identified on a quarterly basis for the Director`s attention and continuous improvement actions are undertaken to overcome them. Weekly 2-3 hours session is an on-going process that will continue to assess all relevant procedures of management of all departments within AIBD.
Due to the COVID pandemic and the unprecedented changes required from an on-site to online project management system, activities and work flow for project management were revised and documents were formulated to suit the new norm, in compliance to the ISO standards.
In lieu of transparency and good practices for the organisation, the Director re-instated the Finance Procedures to be audited in the Internal Audit 2020 and to ensure it is ISO Compliance.
External Auditor’s Comments:
The auditor, Mr Raymond Wong Kian Tuck, observed and remarked that in spite of the COVID-19 fall out, there were no minor or major non-conformities found in the OPERATION CONTROL 2 surveillance audit. The overall performance and maintenance of quality system was found to be adequate. All the staff members were positive and cooperative throughout the entire audit processes. Most of all they had maintained the standards of operation with documentation well in control.
The auditor concluded the organisation had established and maintained its management system in-line with requirements of the ISO standards and based on the continuous effort from 2018 to the results of this flawless 2nd surveillance audit, thus recommended the management system certification ISO 9001:2015 Standard be continued with validity till 30 October 2021.

Russia is considering dropping visa requirements for citizens of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, Malaysia, and several other countries, according to a recent report from the Russian news agency, TASS.
During the Eastern Economic Forum, Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister, Andrey Rudenko, stated that Russia is ready to ease visa rules for some Asian countries.
As per him, they already have successful visa agreements with many Asian nations and are now aiming to further expand them.
Earlier this year, Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister had said that Moscow was in the process of forming visa-free travel agreements with 11 countries, which include Malaysia, Bahrain, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Bahamas, Barbados, Haiti, Zambia, Kuwait, Mexico, and Trinidad and Tobago.
Also, a statement from Russia’s Minister of Economic Development, Maxim Reshetnikov, underscored the country’s interest in facilitating visa-free travel.
As reported by the Kuwait News Agency, Reshetnikov stated that they are considering visa-free entry, especially for Middle Eastern and Southeast Asian countries.
He further added that they are eager to attract wealthy tourists from countries such as Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Malaysia.

Earlier in the year, OUP Australia welcomed educators, suppliers and distributors to its annual Hack Day, titled HackLab 2019.
The day aimed to ignite a culture of innovation at OUP Australia and to hear and respond to the views and ideas of stakeholders on how it could better meet their needs.
During HackLab 2019, six teams of OUP staff and guests explored ideas that had previously been selected after a submission, voting and commenting process.
They then presented pitches to judges including OUP CEO Nigel Portwood, CFO Giles Spackman, OE MD Fathima Dada and OUP Australia Managing Director Arthur Baker.
The winning team titled ‘2B or Not 2B’ developed a proposal for a new B2B web experience for educators. Team members were OUP staff, Alex Chambers, Benito Andion and Adam Jovanou and representatives from Squiz, Campion and Splitting Image.
The People’s Choice award went to the ‘Lego Masters’ team, which explored Supply Chain Training, and put forward a pitch that aimed to improve the purchasing and logistics journey for customers. The team included Shaun Mazzocchetti, Michael Pearce, Jess Howard and Rakesh Pathania, alongside representatives from Australia Post, Splitting Image and Ligare.
Our newly released video offers an insight into what happened on the day.
OUP Australia Managing Director Arthur Baker said HackLab 2019 had provided a unique opportunity to explore the thoughts and ideas of stakeholders.
“This year our event evolved to include external educators, suppliers and distributors, which offered us the opportunity to learn more about the needs of our customers and other stakeholders, and ultimately, to improve the way we work with them. We’d love to see our Hack Days continue to grow and evolve in the future.”
As you will see from the video, the day was about challenging ourselves and fostering an innovative culture within OUP, and building relationships with our customers and other stakeholders, but also about having a great time.
The next step will be about bringing the winning project to fruition. The team responsible for the B2B Web Experience plans a discovery workshop in coming weeks to explore the project further so that a formal proposal can be developed.
Internal and external participants deemed the event a huge success, describing the day as “collaborative”, “engaging”, “fun”, “creative”, “inspiring” and “hilarious”.
It was the first time the Hack Day has been open to external stakeholders, after the inaugural Hack Day in 2018. One of the best signs that this new format was a success was that during the day, it was hard to tell the team members from OUP and those who were not.

Review For Welcome to the RileysStewart lets it all hang out in a firecracker role but her damaged character never achieves the depth the weak material could have done with.
David Jenkins-Time Out
"Welcome to the Rileys" sets out to be a study of grief and how to overcome it, but it rings too false to offer much hope - or entertainment.
Connie Ogle-Miami Herald
It's as if Tony Soprano and Bella Swan had landed the two leads in somebody's amateur theater company, and this is what the lucky audience gets.
Steven Rea-Philadelphia Inquirer
"Welcome to the Rileys"? Thanks, but no thanks.
Michael O'Sullivan-Washington Post
Welcome to the Rileys is a reminder that good, or at least intriguing, things can come in what seem to be predictable packages.
Cary Darling-Dallas Morning News
Terrific acting by James Gandolfini and Melissa Leo -- and a noble effort from Kristen Stewart -- goes a long way toward salvaging it.
Bill Goodykoontz-Arizona Republic
Kristen Stewart ever runs out of "Snow White" sequels, this is what her post "Twilight" career should look like.
Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service
For every moment of raw self-destruction there is an equally charming resolution.
[It] will win no prizes for originality, but it benefits greatly from the subtle performances of the two leads, particularly Leo...
Jeremy Aspinall-Radio Times
It's a preposterous story, yet for part of its duration at least, Gandolfini as the slouching, baggily dressed Doug and Leo as the reawakened wife manage to make it rather touching.
Philip French-Observer [UK]
If it could be too slow-burning for some, it is at least a refreshing change from a pattern of film-making that never gives you a moment's rest because there is nothing under the surface.
Derek Malcolm-This is London
It's downbeat and has little to say about the grieving process, and while Gandolfini and Leo are memorable, Stewart is not.
David Edwards-Daily Mirror [UK]
Gandolfini's bashful, bear-like Doug is endearing but most of this earnest film just doesn't ring true.
Allan Hunter-Daily Express
It's a well-made film, and New Orleans is crisply and interestingly shot by cinematographer Christopher Soos, but this ultimately looks like a TV movie dressed up for the big screen.
Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK]
Despite its indie sensibilities, under the surface it's a pure Hollywood heart that beats here.
Alex Zane-Sun Online
Stewart's strung-out, frowzy performance is a timely reminder that the girl can act, but despite strong work from all three leads, the facile screenplay runs out of things to say fairly quickly.
Robbie Collin-Daily Telegraph
The dialogue and ponderous drama got lost even before the camera rolled.
Nigel Andrews-Financial Times
Observant writing and direction make this exploration of grief surprisingly uplifting.
Rich Cline-Shadows on the Wall
Quietly assured and superbly written, this is an emotionally engaging drama with a trio of terrific performances from James Gandolfini, Kristen Stewart and Melissa Leo.
Movingly written and exquisitely played by the three leads, this never gets bogged down in sentiment or lazily opts for easy answers.
Tim Evans-Sky Movies
It's not horrible. It's just directed and written with a heavy hand and a sensibility that could use a lot more restraint.
...a consistently watchable piece of work that benefits substantially from its stellar performances...
David Nusair-Reel Film Reviews
Surprising twists lead the story in unexpected directions. The actors get credit for making you care about these characters. The audience develops a temporary bond during the 110-minute running time.

I've tried Barefoot's new dry herb dewormer formula. I've cleaned out my liver, cleaned out my colon, gotten rid of most of the bugs and things weren't really functioning the best yet as it takes a while to rebuild. The body may still contain a lot of poisons even if you use the systemic digestive enzymes for a length of time. I used them for a while and now have gone back to doing some that may help to get some of the poisons of a protein nature in the rest of the body.
My experience with this new formula AFTER cleaning the liver and colon out is that it will pull poisons out of the digestive tract and other parts of the body I didnt know I still had. Probably in the organs, too. I have no reason to still have diarrhea when I take it other than it's still pulling poisons out of the colon and probably the rest of the body. My diet is good. When we come on here in the "terminal" stage of things, it takes a lot of work and a lot of time to get the poisons gone, even if we do the CE's along with the program. I did them all thru this program. It wasn't enough. The liver and colon cleaning out programs were not enough. The folowing eplains what I mean.
Whether some want to agree with me or not, is that the poisonous stuff from a liver flush should NEVER be allowed to go down thru the digestive tract without something strong to pick up as much as possible like the charcoal before and after a liver flush. The poisons are just too toxic and re-circulate again throughout the body via the digestive system into the blood. What they can cause for problems down the line at the end of this program has not been proven. I do believe it can cause problems in that they re-intoxicate the body with some very, very toxic stuff. If I wasn't completely convinced of this, I would never post it. I don't think the liver or other organs respond as well to the cleaning out processes, if the stuff is allowed to re-circulate especially in the case of the terminal ones who have taken drugs that have about destroyed their bodies.
After a liver flush, I never felt like eating much. Doc used popcorn to pick up the poisons after a liver flush. A TBSP of charcoal in a glass of water afterwards was much easier and more effective for me. I recommend some 3 hours before a flush, too. All this is your choice.
I also think more mention should be made of the importance of making the skin eliminate a lot of the toxins when in the tissue cleaning phase of this program at the last of it. Therefore saunas or salt baths are of great value in recovery. Chiropractic helped me a lot. Massage therapy would have helped me a lot and perhaps meridian therapy--IF I had done it. It was more of a problem of "afford" for me.
Since I've been doing the new dewormer formula Barefoot talks about, I am seeing normal bile excretion steadily from the liver for the first time. Meaning the liver was still toxic and probably the rest of the organs. I don'thave a gall bladder. I've done this formula for only about a week and can see the diference it's making.
I've learned a lot in 3.5 years of going thru this program. Hope my experiences cn benefit some other people.

Traveling as a LGBTQ family isn’t always easy. Visiting new locations as a same-sex family involves being more careful with choices and being on guard to help protect our children in awkward situations. Even with having to be more cautious, we shouldn’t let that stop our families from getting out and enjoying travel. Here are some LGBTQ family travel safety tips that we always use with our family when planning a vacation.
Top LGBTQ Family Travel Safety Tips
1. Research The Destination
One of the first things our family does when deciding to travel together is to find out how friendly the destination is to gay couples and LGBTQ families. While this is always important, it’s even more important if we’re traveling to certain countries outside of the United States. According to the U.S. State Department, over 70 countries consider same-sex relations a crime, some with extreme punishment. So researching this is the first and most important in our list of LGBTQ family travel safety tips. Making sure we’re visiting countries that are receptive is critical. (Don’t worry – most are!)
Even while traveling within the U.S. we want to be sure that our families will be respected and kept outside of possibly dangerous situations. LGBTQ friendly cities in the United States include our hometown of San Diego, CA, St. Petersburg, FL, New York City, NY and Austin, TX. While at first glance some of the places on that list might not seem very friendly to gay and lesbian couples, each of these cities have excellent track records. They have established gay communities and plenty of activities for diverse families.
2. Seek Out LGBTQ-Friendly Accommodations
After selecting a place to visit, next search out LGBTQ friendly hotels. There are a lot of chain hotels and small bed & breakfast type of locations that are friendly to gay couples and families. It just takes a little research to find them. In larger cities, we can generally stick with larger hotel chains like Hilton or Marriott. We can also use sites such as misterb&b which vets hotel and room rentals to ensure that owners are friendly to the gay community. However, some of these establishments are more geared to couples so check that first.
How can we tell if a hotel will be friendly to LGBTQ families?
- Check to see if the hotel markets to the gay community in gay publications and advertising.
- Email the hotel’s concierge and ask about the local gay community or gay bars. Their response will help determine what the vibe of the hotel is towards the LGBTQ community.
- During PRIDE week, gay friendly hotels are definitely advertising it. Observe who those hotels are, and keep track in case you visit when it’s not PRIDE.
- See what their score is on the Human Right Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index. Some major chains including Choice Hotels, Hyatt, Intercontinental and Wyndham have ratings of 100 on the index. The higher the score (out of 100), the more committed the company is to LGBTQ equality.
3. Reach Out To Local Centers For Advice
Once we’ve selected a place to go, we sometimes see if the city has a center that supports the LGBTQ community. These centers will be able to answer any questions or concerns we have, provide information about activities and help put our minds at ease before visiting. Asking them questions about anything we need from safety tips to fun family activities will save time to spend on planning other things for this vacation.
Another in our LGBTQ family travel safety tips is to look for gay friendly publications online for the area we’re visiting. We’re likely to get some great stories, recommendations and local flavor before you even begin our vacation.
4. Have Your Paperwork Ready
LGBTQ families have a variety of concerns to think about when traveling. Important in our LGBTQ family travel safety tips but one that isn’t often considered, is having all our legal parental documentation on hand while traveling internationally. While anyone who is traveling with adopted children needs to be cautious, LGBTQ parents need to especially be vigilant since we could be targeted due to misunderstanding or worse, discrimination.
There are many situations that could arise with a same-sex couple traveling with children. We once had to prove that we were the legal parents of our daughters to several flight attendants and airline employees. It’s an experience that isn’t pleasant but if we’re prepared in advance it will help the situation move quicker, especially if we’re with young children who can’t speak for themselves.
Documents To Have On Hand While Traveling Internationally
- Child’s birth certificate
- Adoption papers
- Custody documents for minor children (this is especially important if your child’s last name is different than yours and/or your partner’s)
- Copy of insurance cards with your children’s names
- Emergency contact information – be sure to print this out and carry it with you so you can access it immediately. Include all medical professionals and your family’s contact numbers.
5. Find Activities That Will Welcome Our Families
Another way to help stay safe is to visit locations and attractions that you know will welcome our LGBTQ family.
The Disney businesses are well known for being accepting of their gay employees which means our family will be welcomed at any of their parks. There’s even a yearly celebration called Gay Days, an unofficial event at Disney World in Orlando which has also expanded to Universal Studios and SeaWorld in Orlando.
If we’re traveling with small children, seek out science museums, planetariums and zoos in the area that are educational and will get the kids excited. With older children ask them what they’d like to do and research it online together to find things that will make everyone feel included.
Also we look for events during the PRIDE celebration of the city we’re visiting if that’s the time of year we’ll be traveling. Cities will have parades, festivals, food events and concerts for our families to enjoy. (We do investigate the events in advance. Some are family oriented and others will be adult oriented only.)
Tips for LGBTQ Family Travel Safety
We believe that being cautious and proactive while traveling as LGBTQ families doesn’t mean that we’re fearful. We definitely don’t believe in not traveling just to avoid delicate situations. Taking our two daughters all over the world has been worth it for a variety of reasons, especially to open them to a wider world and getting lots of family memories we’ll never forget.

Hope you find these LGBTQ family travel safety tips helpful!

The Galaxy S8 is expected to sport an 8-megapixel front-facing camera, according to latest reports coming out of South Korea. The same source claims that the front-facing shooter will come with an autofocus actuator, a module that automatically identifies optimal focal distance for any given subject. The decision to integrate this component into the secondary camera of the Galaxy S8 is a novel concept from Samsung as it is something that's generally found exclusively in rear-facing smartphone cameras. Samsung allegedly decided to use an "encoder type" autofocus actuator which differs from the VCM (Voice Coil Motor) technology that is comparatively more common, but also somewhat bulkier.
While the Seoul-based tech giant didn't comment on this report, the new selfie camera featured by the Galaxy S8 is said to be able to focus more clearly on subjects that are located at a distance. However, online chatter seems to suggest that the encoder AF technology will allow camera modules to be slimmer by placing them on the side of a lens. For comparison, the VCM technology places coils in the center of an accompanying lens, which is often the reason for unseemly camera bumps seen in premium smartphones and tablets. Regarding the rear-facing primary camera featured by the Galaxy S8, early rumors had suggested a dual-sensor module, but recent reports have claimed otherwise.
Meanwhile, the official launch date of the Galaxy S8 continues to be a contentious issue. Most tipsters and media outlets now seem to believe that it will happen at some point in mid-April, with the most recent rumors suggesting that the device will be available for purchase from April 15. Some of the key hardware specs of Samsung's upcoming Android smartphone have also been heavily debated over the past few weeks. According to most reports, the Galaxy S8 will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC and the Samsung-made Exynos 8895 in some regions. While all of this sounds fairly exciting, it's still important to remember that this information mostly comes from unverified rumors, so it will be interesting to see how much of it holds up in the end. More information is expected to surface in the coming weeks.


From what I understand, the purpose of account keys in the ACME protocol is that once authorized, the person who possesses the account key can then create and revoke certificates without having to further prove their identity.
So in a typical web-server situation, why would I want to add the additional security risk of keeping those keys around, instead of simply creating a new account key and solving a new set of challenges every 60 days? Is there a benefit to reusing the same account key each time?
I can see that with more complex server configurations, where solving the challenge might require manual intervention and/or downtime, that it would be desirable to avoid going through that process each time. (Although, I have to wonder, is it really common to have a server that allows installing new certificates in an automated fashion, but doesn’t allow you to automate the challenge process?)
It seems to me that - if you’re using Apache or Nginx or any other “normal” web server that allows webroot authentication - the most sensible thing would be to create a new account key for every new certificate, and shred it afterwards (or never store it on disk to begin with.)
(Obviously I’m also disregarding the rate limits currently imposed by the Let’s Encrypt beta program.)
To that end, it seems it would also be sensible that when registering an account key, the client should be able to specify “this key is only valid for N hours, or until K certificates have been issued.” Or at least, it should be possible for the client to revoke its own account key and/or authorizations. I have only skimmed through the ACME protocol documentation but I didn’t see either of these features mentioned.
I guess the one other potential benefit of keeping the account key around is being able to revoke certificates without further proving your identity. In an emergency situation you might need to be able to do that in minutes, without even having access to the server to be able to solve challenges. But for a situation like that, you’d presumably want to have a second account key, stored offline and authorized separately from the keys that are used for automatic renewal.

A review by Jon Price of the Joker… which he liked so much he bought off me… no matter how hard i tried to get him to have a custom he wanted what he had ridden and enjoyed, so eventually i succumbed. Here is what he thinks.
“I am without doubt a surfboard monogamist. I truly believe that a surfer’s boards should evolve from one to the next, that the shape of a new ‘stick’ should be based around the characteristics that were liked and disliked on the last one, i.e. “I love the way this board paddles but I want it to turn harder”. Having evolved through a series of boards over a few years, I felt as though I had found exactly what I wanted and I’d stuck with it. However, that was seven years ago. I was married and happily so. Until Tim came along.
The Joker was Tim’s first longboard. With any shaper this would cause me concern. With Tim I needn’t have worried. I’ve only ever met one other shaper with the same obvious understanding of surfboard dynamics and believe me with nearly two decades experience in the surf industry, I’ve talked to a lot of well-known shapers. Unlike many who seem intent on surrounding their art with mysticism, Tim explains things in a way that is logical, straight forward and makes sense; the guy obviously knows his stuff. He is also a friend of mine and that meant I was open to persuasion, a lot of persuasion. Maybe it was time to try something new.
On one of those fun, clean, chest-high beach break days, I finally gave in; I started my affair. At first I didn’t like it. I was so used to my board that I got frustrated rather than patiently adapting my technique to suit a board that paddled differently, was more responsive and was just......... different. I gave up, claiming my old board back after a few waves. Glad to be back on the board I knew and trusted.
A week later, more ear-bending from Tim and I gave The Joker another try. This time something clicked. I dropped, bottom-turned and cross-stepped to the nose. I couldn’t believe how stable this board was for nose riding! Tim will tell you it’s to do with the way the nose flexes as you stand on it. I didn’t care. I just know I liked it, I liked it a lot. A slower section, I walked back to the tail, made a couple of turns to build up speed and ‘wack’, hit the lip on the close-out. Man, where did that come from? Tim didn’t say a word as I paddled back out, my smile was enough. This time it was a little harder for him to get his board back.
I have to say it has taken me a while to get used to The Joker, to feel as though I’m getting to know it in that ‘one’ way I have with my other board. And, unsurprisingly, at times I go back to my ‘wife’ of seven years. On occasion I find The Joker, with its continuous rocker, a little awkward to paddle and that’s something I’ll ask Tim to address on the next evolution; when I start my next affair. The thing about the Joker is, I’ve never spent so much time on the nose. This board nose rides so easily! What really gets me though is that it turns hard as well. I find it hard to comprehend that combination; a longboard that nose rides and turns well. How do you make a board like that? I guess you’d better ask Tim. I’m just glad he isn’t a marriage counsellor.
Jon Price, Big Blue

CAIRO - 28 August 2018: The Criminal Cairo Court ruled on Tuesday, that six individuals were found guilty of encroaching and attacking a special police unit in Cairo and will be executed for their crimes.
Aside from their involvement in terror-related crimes, the attack on the ambush, which is located in Al-Khasos city in Qaluybia governorate, resulted in the death of a police officer and also left others injured.
The court also sentenced two defendants to life in prison (25 years), a minor to 15 years of intensive imprisonment and another defendant to five years in the same case that is known in the media as "Khosous Ambush."
Back in 2017, there were initially 12 accused of the crime; however, those facing death penalty are Islam Mohamed, Mohamed Sabri, Mohamed Nasar, Ibrahim Abd El-Daher, Abd ElRahman Mostafa and Mohamed Mahmoud Hesham.
According to the investigations, the first defendant in 2016 established and lead a terrorist group contrary to the provisions of the law that was aimed at disrupting and preventing state institutions and public authorities from fulfilling their duties.
This group also aimed to change the regime by force, by attacking police authorities and armed forces. The other defendants also joined this terrorist group and they were taught how to use firearms to assassinate policemen.
The investigations revealed that the defendants, from first to fifth, ninth, eleventh and twelfth provided the group with the necessary funds, firearms and explosives so that they can carry out terrorist attacks.
With respect to the crime of assassinating a police officer at a special police unit, the defendants all participated in the assassination of Moustafa Mohammed Amin, a police sergeant, as he was at the special police unit when the incident occured. The third defendant also took footage of the assassination as it happened.
In June, the court presided by Judge Shaaban Al-Shamy, referred the case to Grand Mufti, Egypt’s top religious body authorized to issue Islamic rulings on the execution of the six convicted.

|Dane and Vimah Temporal, Bridgett Rian, Lina and George Tabangcora|
In November 1976, six nurses arrived in Paris to work for St. Joseph’s Hospital, the first of many Filipino nurses who were to enhance the medical community of Lamar County. Recently, I spoke with two of the original six, Lina Tabangcora and Bridgett Rian, as well as four other members of the local Filipino community – George Tabangcora, Dane and Vimah Temporal, and TJ Gorley. Their travel stories reflect the history of Filipino nurses in the United States.
To counter communist propaganda, the United States instituted an Exchange Visitors Program in 1948 to bring young people to America for two years to learn our way of life and expand knowledge in their fields. Because of U.S. influence from its colonial days in the Philippines, many Filipino nurses had been trained by American methods. They soon became the dominant participants in the Exchange program where 80% came from the Philippines. In 1965, immigration laws were revised and no longer favored European immigrants, thus allowing more Filipino nurses to apply. As demand increased, so did their local nursing schools – growing from 17 in 1940 to over 300 today.
Lina and Bridgett were originally recruited to work in Georgia but a friend enticed them to Paris because St. Joseph’s hospital would sponsor them for permanent residency. Bridgett remembers being depressed as they arrived noting Wal-Mart was the only place to shop. But the Sisters were very accommodating, helping with furniture, and Dr. Bercher even brought by some food.
Both Lina and Bridgett were single but that would change, thanks to the “inter-relative” network, a precursor to internet dating services. Bridgett’s cousin, George Tabangcora, had also come to the United States via the Exchange Program and was living in Pennsylvania, studying embryo transplants for cattle. He met Lina in 1978 on a visit to Paris and they married in 1981. George introduced Bridgett to Levi Rian, another Exchange Program participant in Ohio, and they married. After a correspondence course with California College under the supervision of Ed Schaffer, both George and Levi became certified respiratory therapists and joined our local medical community.
By the time fiancees, Vimah and Dane Temporal, finished nursing school, recruiters from the U.S. were all over the Phillippines including an alum from their school who worked out of Houston. It was 1983, a time of recession, and the offer looked good. Dane remembers looking at a map of the United States in the recruitment office in Manila and couldn’t find Paris, Texas on it. After landing in Houston, Dane and another nurse were put on a Trailway bus to travel by night to Dallas and then to Paris. Vimah came two months later.
Dane and Vimah wanted to marry immediately. They paid $7 for a marriage license and found their way to Justice of the Peace Chester Oakes’ office. Judge Oakes thought they were Native Americans and bewildered the couple by speaking in Cherokee. He also couldn’t pronounce her name and asked if Dane wanted to marry Vimah “whatever her last name is.” Dane wondered aloud if they were legally married.
|TJ Gorley soon after her arrival in Paris|
At age 23, TJ Gorley came to America because it was prestigious and she knew her parents would be proud. TJ had to choose among El Paso, San Antonio or Paris – selecting Paris only because she recognized the name. In January 1984, she disembarked from the plane in a mini-skirt and immediately wondered why all the trees were dead – having never experienced winter in the Phillippines. She joined eight other nurses staying in George and Lina’s home until accommodations could be found. Lina said they had women sleeping everywhere.
Even though many of the recruits moved on, Dane believes there are over 100 Filipinos living in Lamar County, with most coming directly or indirectly through nursing recruitment. They all had big adjustments to make. Although English classes begin in second grade in the Phillippines, our local idioms were challenging. “Move your noggin,” “over yonder,” “come back directly”, or “fixin to” all had to be explained.
This group stayed in Paris for many reasons. They wanted their children to have a hometown. They felt if they worked hard, they could earn respect as well as financial success. They appreciated then and now the lack of red tape and our efficient government bureaucracy. They see their taxes used on good roads and schools and believe opportunity still exists here.
Because of America’s increased emphasis on nursing, Filipino nurses no longer are needed to fill our needs. Many of them now go to the Middle East. But we were lucky that some of their best made it to Paris and that they stayed.

Thursday, May 2, 2013
Two reasons most mentioned for February’s Walla Walla High School bond defeat are mistrust of the School Board and its refusal to answer important questions.
The School Board needs to itemize school bond expenditures to alleviate many questions.
Twice before the February bond vote I asked our superintendent to publish how much of the $69 million Wa-Hi project the architects and their associates would get.
The superintendent’s refusal to publicly answer this question could cause one to conclude that schools, architects and their consultants have a sweetheart deal with each other. This seems to be a deal they don’t want to talk about, maybe because it’s costing taxpayers excessive millions.
Mistrust? I’m sure the school officials know the main cause for mistrust. If not, a short reminder!
It’s been called the “Edison Debacle.” Maybe a more applicable name might be the “Edison Deception.”
The Wa-Hi school bond defeated by taxpayers in 2006 included approximately $13.3 million for Edison School. A few months later an inflated bond, including state matching funds for approximately $22.6 million for Edison, was proposed and passed.
The excess millions were used elsewhere without voter approval, much of it on the bus depot that was rejected by taxpayers earlier.
When the sleight-of-hand trickery with inflated school bonds was exposed, it revealed this practice wasn’t new. It was used to a lesser degree on Sharpstein and other school bonds.
At least one of the present School Board members was in office during these school bond deceptions.
We’ve known for years maintenance was being shortchanged at Wa-Hi and other schools. It seems maintenance might have been purposely shortchanged on school buildings with the intent to use excess funds from inflated school bonds to do the maintenance jobs that should have been done with the approximate $9 million to $10 million annual maintenance and operations levies.
Thus far we haven’t heard one word of apology from the School Board members for using this deceptive bond-inflating practice to procure additional money to spend as they please. It seems they are only sorry they were caught. One board member said he would do it again.
After this practice was exposed, the School Board still seems unwilling to admit wrongdoing. Maybe this Board is unqualified to handle the $50 million annual budget of our School District.
Wrongful financial actions by Board members dictate we need annual independent audits.
Think about it!

Yes, again with the lame title! But I swear that’s the only lame thing in this post, because the folks at The Hardware Societe are serious about producing a beautifully delicious brunch for patrons (a 20-25 minute wait minimum in the cold Melbournian morning will reveal that the customers are also serious about a seriously good brunch!).
Once our names were ticked off the wait-list doily by the tall and handsome waiter, we were ushered inside to any available seat – almost exclusively communal tables there. I’m not a fan of large, shared tables as firstly, you get no privacy to talk comfortably with your dining partner, and also because it may bring about awkward situations like sitting in front of affectionate lovebirds, or needing to ask the stranger next to you to pass the rapadura sugar who only responds with a stare, or being too embarrassed to take more photos in front of them – all three of which happened to me.
Luckily the very wonderful coffee that was soon brought out to us helped to fade out the discomfort and chill in our faces and bones. The food took a while to arrive, but it was only to be expected with the crowd, and I’m happy to report that it was certainly worth the wait!
The baked eggs with chorizo and pimento came in a small, rustic cast iron pot with pieces of baguette drizzled with olive oil on the side. The longer you leave the eggs, tomato, chorizo, cream, nuts, etc in the pot undisturbed, the more the eggs cook – so if you like eggs runnier, spoon around and up into your mouth faster! It was the heartiest breakfast I’d had in a long time, and it was getting difficult to finish especially with the baguette slices. I guessed at least 3 eggs in the pot, but the waitress confirmed only 2 eggs were used. The mushroom dish also tasted beautifully buttery and perfectly cooked.
I’m unsure whether to call the place a cafe or restaurant. The food is certainly a cut above your average cafe fare, but the atmosphere (casual and homey), constant whir of the coffee machine and in-and-out affair rings true of a cafe. Anyway. I’m definitely coming back, regardless of their seating arrangements and some rude wait staff, and want to try more of their adorable desserts too!
Side thoughts: After admiring and sipping our coffees I stood around watching the baristas at the counter until our food was ready, and the guy who was adding the steamed milk and creating latte art made an impression on me. Although there were plenty of orders there, he didn’t rush. He poured the milk gently and with visible concentration, holding the cup and jug up to his eye level, almost smiling as he finished up the artwork. Wasn’t too preoccupied to flash a smile and peace sign, either. The coffee I had there was the best I’d had during my short trip, and it confirmed my belief that heartfelt passion that starts quietly in one person will manifest in their work to touch many others.

Work has begun on a $3 million upgrade at the Inverell Sewerage Treatment Plant in northern New South Wales involving drainage works and major repairs to the floor and walls of the facility’s two 35-year-old aeration tanks.
In November 2016, Inverell Shire Council awarded the contract for the upgrade to Eire Constructions of Wauchope.
Inverell Shire Council Deputy Mayor, Anthony Michael, said the upgrade will require both existing aeration tanks to be taken off-line while the work is completed.
“Council is constructing another aeration tank to which will form the basis for a permanent capacity upgrade in the future and also pave the way for important repairs to be completed,” Mr Michael said.
“The existing tanks are 35 years old and that’s regarded as a lengthy time to be in service, so the refurbishment is timely.
“Because Inverell Shire Council has been determined as Fit for the Future, we were one of the few local governments in NSW able to access a $2 million low interest loan from NSW Treasury, with the balance of the project coming from Council funds.”
The project will ensure Inverell is in a position to cater for future growth. NSW Department of Planning modelling predicts robust growth for Inverell Shire over the next 15 years, bucking the trend of rural communities west of the Great Divide.
Construction works are expected to be completed by May 2017, with the refurbishment of the existing aeration tanks expected to take a further four months.
“The obsolete trickling filter plant has been demolished and removed and the site is now ready for the construction of the additional aeration tank,” Mr Michael said.
The contractors will commence with initial drainage works and sediment controls before earthworks commence in late January 2017.

Disseminated toxoplasmosis in a captive slender tailed meerkat
Heindrich Snyman, Sherry Davidson, Ron Mergl
Animal Health Laboratory, University of Guelph, Guelph, ON (Snyman); Niagara Falls Animal Medical Centre, Niagara Falls, ON (Davidson, Mergl).
AHL Newsletter 2020;24(3):15.
A ~ 2 year old, intact male, slender-tailed meerkat (Suricata suricatta) from a captive zoo colony presented with sudden acute bilateral hind limb ataxia. The hind limbs did not reveal any observable pain response and no obvious central proprioceptive deficits were apparent although a full detailed neurological examination was difficult in this animal. Immediate differentials included trauma (spinal fracture/luxation) with spinal cord compression or some other cause of central nervous system inflammation. The ataxia progressively worsened to paralysis and due to a lack of clinical response and a poor prognosis, the animal was euthanized.
An in-clinic necropsy was performed, revealing a regional area of sublumbar intramuscular hemorrhage at the level of L4 that was consistent with localized trauma. Other findings included mottled congestion of the ventral apical surfaces of the heart, bilateral pallor of the kidneys, and pale mottling of the splenic parenchyma. A broad array of representative tissues were collected in formalin and submitted to the Animal Health Laboratory for histopathology.
Histological sections of the brain and spinal cord contained multiple randomly scattered ~ 50 to 200 µm foci of malacia and gliosis (Fig. 1) with associated lymphoplasmacytic perivascular cuffing and few similar loose meningeal infiltrates of lymphocytes, plasma cells and macrophages. The heart contained multiple dense ~ 50 to 350 µm diameter coalescing interstitial aggregates of macrophages, lymphocytes, plasma cells, and rare scattered neutrophils with regional associated myofiber degeneration and necrosis (Fig. 2). Similar inflammatory aggregates were also scattered throughout the liver with accompanying acute hepatocellular necrosis, as well as the kidneys. Visceral lymph nodes contained small numbers of draining neutrophils and macrophages. The spleen appeared unremarkable and splenic mottling was attributed to red pulp congestion and barbiturate euthanasia.
The progressive neurological decompensation in this meerkat was attributed to this pleocellular and necro-inflammatory disease that was highly suggestive of infection with Toxoplasma gondii. Disseminated toxoplasmosis was confirmed by IHC staining with localization of T. gondii antigens to inflammatory foci within the brain (Fig. 3).
Meerkats are members of the mongoose family and are considered highly susceptible to infection with T. gondii. A number of high mortality outbreaks in captive zoo settings have been described. Similar to other domestic animal species, transmission is through the fecal-oral route via ingestion of contaminated feed. This occurs commonly in captive settings where feral cats can be attracted to feed in enclosures, which allows for the subsequent shedding of infectious oocysts into the environment.
Although the clinical presentation did not reveal any central nervous system deficits in this case and a traumatic incident was initially suspected, the multifocal nature of this disease often results in widely varied clinical presentations which can complicate antemortem diagnosis. Therefore, given the species predilection, toxoplasmosis should always be considered in any cases of central or peripheral neurological disease or acute unexplainable death in meerkats. AHL

Master Key Based Encryption
With Master Key based encryption, there is only one key (or key pair) and all files are encrypted using that key pair. This is highly recommended for new instances to avoid restrictions in functionality of user key encryption.
There are two steps to be made to enable Master Key based encryption.
We strongly encourage you to put your server in single user mode before setting up encryption.
To do so, run the following command:
To enable the encryption app, run the following command:
sudo -u www-data php occ app:enable encryption
If the encryption app successfully enables, then you should see the following confirmation:
This should never happen, but the encryption app may not be packaged with your ownCloud installation. If so, you will see the following output when you attempt to enable it:
If that happens, then you need to install it manually. You can do this by cloning the encryption app, using the following command:
To enable and configure Master Key based encryption via the command-line, involves several commands.
Enable the master key.
Master Key Mode has to be setup in a newly created instance.
Encrypt all data.
The following example shows how to carry out these steps.
sudo -u www-data php occ encryption:enable sudo -u www-data php occ encryption:select-encryption-type masterkey sudo -u www-data php occ encryption:encrypt-all --yes
|This command is not typically required, as the master key is often enabled at install time. As a result, when enabling it, there should be no data to encrypt. However, if you have enabled master key encryption post-installation, existing files will not be automatically encrypted; only newly created files. To encrypt existing files use the encrypt-all command as described above. Before doing so, set the instance into single user mode for that task.|
Retrieves the current encryption status and the name of the loaded encryption module.
sudo -u www-data php occ encryption:status
This is equivalent to checking "Enable server-side encryption" on your Admin page:
sudo -u www-data php occ encryption:enable Encryption enabled Default module: OC_DEFAULT_MODULE
If the master key needs replacing, for example, because it has been compromised, an occ command is available. The command is encryption:recreate-master-key. It replaces existing master key with new one and encrypts the files with the new key.
You must first put your ownCloud server into single-user mode to prevent any user activity until encryption is completed.
sudo -u www-data php occ maintenance:singleuser --on Single user mode is currently enabled
Decrypt all user data files, or optionally a single user:
sudo -u www-data php occ encryption:decrypt-all [username]
To disable encryption, put your ownCloud server into single-user mode, and then disable your encryption module with these commands:
sudo -u www-data php occ maintenance:singleuser --on sudo -u www-data php occ encryption:disable
Take it out of single-user mode when you are finished, by using the following command:
sudo -u www-data php occ maintenance:singleuser --off
You may only disable encryption by using the occ Encryption Commands. Make sure you have backups of all encryption keys, including those for all your users.
After encryption is enabled, your users must also log out and log back in to (automatically) generate their personal encryption keys. They will see a yellow warning banner that says
Encryption App is enabled, but your keys are not initialized. Please log-out and log-in again.
Also, share owners may need to re-share files after encryption is enabled. Users who are trying to access the share will see a message advising them to ask the share owner to re-share the file with them.
For individual shares, un-share and re-share the file. For group shares, share with any individuals who can’t access the share. This updates the encryption, and then the share owner can remove the individual shares.
