Her music has been featured nationally on CBC radio and is developing a dedicated following at her live shows (her EP release shows in London and her native Kirkland Lake, Ontario both sold out). In fact, Leanne is currently nominated and has won a prestigious Forest City London Music Award in the Contemporary Singer/Songwriter category in 2019. Her raw, honest lyrics and soulful voice tell stories of loss and hope, coloured by just the right amount of world-weary wisdom and determination. Together, they represent the work of an artist who isn’t afraid to experiment, or to explore matters of the heart. The five songs are a carnival of styles, from the sultry “ See Through Lies” to the bouncing “ Renegade” and melancholy “ Whatever Will Be.” The record features Leanne’s whimsical blend of jazz, blues, old school country, and pop folk. With the release of her debut EP, “ Bittersweet Remedy”, Leanne Mayer has announced herself as a unique and exciting new voice in London, Ontario’s indie music scene.

It did work, but with such a small monthly bandwidth allowance, it only takes a few episodes for you to consume all the available data. server and tested some of the free services. For this review, we connected to the U.S. ZoogVPN markets itself as being able to reach these services wherever you are. You can even choose the type of service you are looking for. One of the things we loved the most about ZoogVPN’s website is how it has a list of all the streaming services you can access using its service. The latter is a good (and new on Windows) add-on since not all free VPN services have this possibility that gives you more security, which you can never get enough of. Moreover, even though you only get 128-bit encryption, you still get some nice features such as the option to choose between two different protocols (IKeV2 or OpenVPN) and can also turn on the kill switch. However, if you let the server pick automatically pick one, ZoogVPN will choose the most suitable server for you and may go for servers that are only available on premium. One in the U.S., another in the UK and, lastly, one in the Netherlands. If you opt for the free plan you will have the opportunity to choose between three different servers. You have a tab which gives you the information about your plan and when it’s going to expire, as well as a tab with general information about the app, and lastly, the exit button. You also have a tab with configurations where you can choose between standard options such as launching the app when you start the device, but you also have more in-depth configuration choices such as enabling the kill switch, ZoogVPN Shadowing and choosing what protocol you want to use. However, if you click it, you are able to pick between the different servers ZoogVPN provides. After you log in, you need to create an account for the free plan, and you are led to the connection tab. While the application itself is not the best-looking one we’ve ever seen, it’s simple to use. It’s true that the free plan comes with many limitations compared to the paid one, but it still gives beginners who are just looking for an easy VPN to use enough features. Right off the bat, ZoogVPN’s website is well designed, user-friendly, and evokes trust, something important when delivering a VPN service. Security is good and all, but if you don't get decent speed and are not able to browse the internet, what good does high security do? Well, no need to worry! ZoogVPN not only claims that it will unblock any website from any country, but it will also do it with “blazing fast speed”. On top of that, it's based in Greece, a country outside the 14 eyes surveillance alliance which won't spy on its citizens. Something ZoogVPN takes to heart with various types of tunneling protocols you can pick from. Founded in 2013, ZoogVPN knows that, and that's why it advises you to “stay safe and secure online, use a VPN. Ever heard the saying “If you don't risk it, you won't get the biscuit”? Although it's useful life advice, when using a VPN, “risking it” is something you don't want to do. 1–250), with a sculptural bookstand by Marc Newson, signed by Piero Ferrari, Sergio Marchionne, and John Elkann. 251–1,947), each signed by Piero Ferrari.Īlso available as an Art Edition (No. Our Core online book database will then automatically provide.

It’s public knowledge in the area that wildlife traffickers trade in hippos, but the police deny it they say they haven’t received any reports of such incidents. The prevailing rumor is that Saldarriaga had been trying to capture the hippo calf to sell. Hippo trafficking allegationsįor many people in Doradal, Saldarriaga’s hometown, the fishing story is just that: a tall tale. “But it was looking at me as if it was saying, ‘I forgive you this time, but if you come back, I’ll kill you.’” The hippo calf tends to hide under the bed in the room of the trafficker’s daughter. “If it had wanted, it could have crushed me and … goodbye life,” Saldarriaga says today of the abrupt end to the hippo’s attack. Saldarriaga’s friends rushed him to the nearest health center, from where he was transferred to a larger hospital about 170 kilometers (106 miles) away. Then it chomped down on his arm and flung him into the air. The 2-ton animal chased him down until he fell. On that day, however, one particular hippo - a mother with a young calf - must have felt sufficiently disturbed that, as Saldarriaga puts it, she ambushed him as he was coming out of the lake. A hippo calf swimming in a pond with the daughter of a wildlife trafficker in Doradal, Colombia. “You don’t disturb me, I won’t disturb you,” was Saldarriaga’s philosophy to fishing in the midst of the hippos, as he tells it to me. 31, 2021, and the lake near Doradal in the department of Antioquia was a known haunt of the feral hippos ( Hippopotamus amphibius) that had spawned from the four hippos that Escobar had shipped over from Africa The way John Aristides Saldarriaga tells it, he was out for a routine day’s fishing with friends on a lake about a mile from the fabled ranch of the late Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar. Mongabay Latam investigated how the illegal sale of hippo calves works from the inside.The town of Doradal near Escobar’s fabled ranch is a center of the hippo-trafficking trade, which targets calves and sells them to wealthy ranch owners as a status symbol.The roughly 70 hippos in the wild in Colombia today all originate from four animals brought over by the late drug kingpin Pablo Escobar.An attack on a man in rural Colombia last October has highlighted the little-known trafficking of Colombia’s notorious, and non-native, hippos. These low numbers, though, have renewed calls for the hippo to be officially placed on the list of the world's most endangered animals. This is especially true in Africa, where poaching is common.ĭespite habitat loss, the species as a whole has remained relatively stable in recent years, with the World Wildlife Fund estimating a wild population of 115,000 to 130,000. She has had a number of viral moments, and has even had a children's book written about her.įiona has also predicted the winner of the Super Bowl every year since her birth.įiona has additionally helped to generate knowledge about hippo conservation, given that the animal is listed as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The group's most famous resident, though, is the baby's older sister, Fiona, who became the first hippo born at the zoo in 75 years in 2017.įiona's growth and development was documented across social media by the zoo, and she quickly became one of the most famous zoo animals in the U.S. The Cleveland Museum of Natural History has a stuffed specimen that IĪll artwork is the property of Matthew Bohan.

The Amazon rainforest is a hugely important ecosystem with regard to the planet’s balance and stability, not to mention the free eco-system services it provides, yet, it is being torn down at an alarming rate.Picture of the Crimson-rumped Toucanet has been licensed under a GFDL Original source: Own work Author: Mateo.gable Permission: GNU Free Documentation License In pursuit of my passion I have spent many hours dangling from ropes in the canopy, atop makeshift platforms and scaffolding towers and days on end in remote blinds deep in the forest. Usually everything is either cryptic or very backlit which is a problem. Rainforests, however, have to be one of the most challenging photographic environments on earth, especially with regard to the way humidity destroys expensive camera gear. I love the rainforest, it is ALWAYS full of surprises. I have published 5 books on the region, continue to live in Ecuador (since 1985), speak Spanish and am an ex naturalist guide in the Ecuadorian Amazon. I have been enamoured with the Yasuni National Park since my first visit in 1987. I feel a deep sense of responsibility to make the threats and issues known. Tourists per se are not a problem, however the massive support system, coupled with avarice, behind the industry is causing problems. There are two sides to the Galapagos and, although the islands are in pretty good shape, the threats today are greater and more menacing than they have ever been. I have been involved with the islands since my arrival and have been fortunate to participate in many Galapagos National Park Service and Charles Darwin Research Station sponsored expeditions throughout the archipelago including cormorant and penguin censusing, Galapagos hawk capture and tagging, camping at a waved albatross colony to band and measure the birds, camping in the Alcedo Volcano crater, satellite tagging of whale sharks and hammerhead sharks and capturing giant tortoises on Wolf Volcano to collect blood samples in the search for the closest living relatives of Lonesome George. In 1987 I came to live and work in the Galapagos as a Naturalist Guide, licensed by the Galapagos National Park, I was a co-founder of AGIPA, the naturalist guide’s association, and have published 4 books on the islands (including one with a foreword by HRH Prince Philip). Steven Jones, Chris Unwin and Phil Factor have already written articles that explain perfectly well the how and the what of SQL Clone, so I won’t repeat those details here. This can save external developers like me a great deal of time, since we can now use the image freely to create the development and test copies of the database. Once the image is stored in the Azure cloud, the Clone Agent on the customer network can be deactivated. For example, I am doing some database work for a customer, the Clone Agent service can be turned on interactively, only at the point I need to create the image. This solution has the added security benefit that you do not necessarily need to have the SQL Clone Agent service running continuously on the server hosting the database you want to copy. This article will describe how you can continue to work with SQL Clone, reliably and without relying on access to the corporate network, by running SQL Clone on an Azure Virtual Machine, storing the images on an Azure File Share, and finally tweaking the DNS configuration of SQL Clone so we can access the remote Azure-hosted SQL Clone Server from a local machine, and deploy clones locally. One of the downsides of this approach is that everything is happening in the RDP session only, so debugging your local Visual Studio session against a database on the network, available in the RDP session, is not possible. Besides that, using a corporate VPN solution often comes with security policies that will prevent you from using other resources than the corporate network.Īnother solution is to work with Remote Desktop and do your database magic on that session. This is because, as for any SQL Server database, there must always be a fast and stable network connection between a clone and its file storage, in this case held in the remote ‘image’ files from which the clone was created (see How SQL Clone Works for details). We might just use SQL Clone via a VPN connection, but this can result in unresponsive clones and slow queries. However, often we need to work on a clone from home, or just remotely, on a different network. SQL Clone is designed primarily for use on a corporate network (WAN or LAN) to help an organization create and deploy copies of very large databases, for development and testing work. It always took a full minute to open even the smallest video file. If you feel that you must use MPlayerX, instead of other alternatives (like VLC), get it from the App Store instead.I had been using MPlayerX for years and never really liked it. because it still behaves as described, and you really don't want to be running that. We do, however, still block the launch of the MPlayerX installer via our App Block feature. Update (): Although we still don't recommend trusting software from anyone who would use an installer like the one described above, we no longer detect MPlayerX itself. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac detects any version of MPlayerX as PUP.MPlayerX. The addition of malware-like analysis avoidance behavior makes the decision to call MPlayerX a PUP a no-brainer.įurther, because we feel that this malware-like behavior shows that the developer of MPlayerX is not trustworthy, we detect the Mac App Store version of MPlayerX to be a PUP as well. The bundling of MPlayerX into an adware installer, alongside adware and other PUPs, is reason enough to consider it to be a PUP according to our PUP criteria. Thus, MPlayerX can't detect that it's running in a virtual machine, and thinks it's on a real system, in the second case, at which time it dumps its nasty payload of crap. The second time shows the same process, in the same virtual machine - with some modifications to the virtual machine to defeat the technique MPlayerX uses to detect it. (Or, more accurately, installs an MPlayerX installer that you still have to run to install MPlayerX.) The first time, it is installed in a Parallels Virtual Machine running Mac OS X 10.11 (El Capitan), and it installs nothing but MPlayerX. The following video shows the MPlayerX installer being downloaded from the official MPlayerX site and being installed twice. Sure enough, although the installer had been updated, it still exhibited the same analysis avoidance behavior, this time installing IronCore, MacKeeper, and MegaBackup. Recently, we decided to re-evaluate MPlayerX for possible detection as a PUP (potentially unwanted program). When opened on a "real" system, however, it would install the IronCore adware, as well as (at that time) the junk apps MacKeeper and ZipCloud. When run in a virtual machine, it installed nothing but MPlayerX. The MPlayerX installer, it turned out, was doing exactly that. Using a virtual machine is a good way to keep the malware isolated from a real system, so that the infection is easier to contain. For example, a researcher may install Mac OS X within a virtual machine run by a program like Parallels, VMWare, or VirtualBox. The most common method of analysis avoidance that malware uses is to detect whether it is running within a virtual machine - in other words, a full system running entirely within a piece of software. Thus, if a researcher or tool is not aware that the program is malicious, it avoids sending up any red flags that would trigger a more thorough analysis. This means that if it feels that it is being analyzed by a security researcher or automated security software, it will act innocent, showing none of its malicious behaviors. Malware will frequently exhibit analysis avoidance behavior. The official MPlayerX installer began to attempt to defy analysis! The bad behavior didn't stop there, however. Unfortunately, this didn't turn out to be good news, as it was soon discovered that the official MPlayerX installer, downloaded directly from the MPlayerX website, had started to include the IronCore adware. In early 2015, MPlayerX wasn't being distributed with VSearch anymore. MPlayerX began to be so synonymous with the VSearch adware that Google searches for "MPlayerX" began to show prominently-featured hits for "MPlayerX removal." Worse, it eventually became apparent that MPlayerX was not simply an innocent victim. At the time, many people assumed that MPlayerX was being used in the same manner that Adobe Flash Player often is - innocent software used to trick people into running a shady installer. Back in 2014, an emerging piece of adware that soon crossed the line to malicious behavior, called VSearch, was frequently associated with MPlayerX installers. MPlayerX began to be associated with malware about two years ago, or possibly even longer.
