Dengue fever has mostly affected the northern, central and southern regions of the country, including the capital, Santo Domingo, where 76 percent of cases reported in the past month were located, the report said.

Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne infection that causes flu-like symptoms, but can be debilitating in infants, small children, and the elderly.
At the beginning of October 2012, the Dominican government declared a nationwide dengue fever outbreak that had at that point infected 5,800 people and led to 12 deaths.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has said that while there is no specific treatment for the disease as yet, early detection and medical treatment can reduce the mortality rate to less than one percent.

Not Quixotic Enough: A Review of the Joffrey Ballet's "Don Quixote" at the Lyric Opera House Performance-wise, the Joffrey Ballet's production of Yuri Possokhov's "Don Quixote," running through June 12 at the Lyric Opera House, is terrific, displaying the company's trademark combination of sterling technique and dramatic flair. There's not a false step (other than the pratfalls by the effete aristocrat, Gamache, played with clownish glee on six-inch heels by Fernando Duarte) or an inelegant line…

Fractals was a way for me to test the ways in which I could create artwork for the community. The piece, held together with fishing wire, is constructed to invite interaction. It shifts with every breeze or touch, casting light in different sizes, directions, and color combinations. With the popularity of cell phone flashlights, it is easy for viewers to take the piece into their own hands and personalize its appearance. This serves as both a finished piece and the blueprint for sturdier, larger scale projects that are able to hold up outside.

I am trying to find information from where the WPs and CPs are inheriting the information which IP to be used.
We have 2 linux physical servers hosting the AE and we tried to add 2 more but VPC. After firing up the server processes we experienced an issue.
The DNS server is resolving the VPC server with the proper IP (10.32.*). There is telnet, ping and everything is fine.
When we start the CPs and WPs they are obtaining the internal VPC IP.
Presumably AE is reading the /etc/hosts file, i believe.
From Automic documentation we found out that we can use the bindaddr in ucsrv.ini file. But there are again some unclarity.
You can also specify the IP address or host name in pwpport= and in all parameters of section [PORTS] (Format: pwpport=IP address:port or DNS name:port). Specifications that have been made in bindaddr= are then ignored.
If we set the bindaddr=10.32* and leave the wp's and cp's equal to port only - are bindaddrs being ignored?
Shall the IP/DNS name be set on both server processes and bindaddr?

Rothley Township, 1848
ROTHLEY, a township, in the parish of Hartburn, union of Rothbury, W. division of Morpeth ward, N. division of Northumberland, 11 miles (W. by N.) from Morpeth; containing 143 inhabitants. So early as the 13th century this place was in the possession of the convent of Newminster; and John Butler, abbot of that establishment, built a tower here, which in 1542 is styled a "lytle towre in measurable good reparations," but which was demolished by the Blackett family, into whose possession it came in 1691. Rothley Crags are a range of precipitous rocks fronting the west, and on the western verge of Rothley Park; they are of granitic sandstone, rising in fine and various forms, and richly coloured. Near their brink, on ground about 800 feet above the level of the sea, stands Rothley Castle, which, though erected by the late Sir W. C. Blackett, has all the appearance of an ancient residence. The township comprises about 2,728 acres. In the park are two large lakes, in one of which the river Font has its source. A fold for cattle formerly situated here was attacked during the border warfare, by the Scots, who were defeated with great loss, and the slain buried at a place called Scots' Gap.

How does a real estate agent start their 2019?
Well, by shooting themselves in the foot; not really. It shouldn't be a surprise to many that when it comes to selling one's property, it turns into a little bit of a chest-beating moment.
You've probably heard people say they received "this" amount over list price or "that" many offers; yadda, yadda, at the end of the day it only takes two parties to tango, but how you get there is the dance. We were recently at a listing appointment and a potential seller asked if we could sell their property off market and we said sure but, WHY?
Now I'm sure people, especially agents, would love to jump at this chance. But I asked, what is the concern? Is it people having access to your home, time constraints or are you afraid that if you list your property for sale someone or, even worse, no one is going to like it?
I once had a much wiser mentor say to me "sales is like dating." Now I'll spare you the details, but let's put it this way: you're NOT likely going to the courthouse with the first person that catches your eye and in today's market with the amount of eyes on a limited number of properties just think of all the potential catches that are available.
Now don't chew my head off, I am sure a whole group of agents and buyers have purchased properties off plans (when building is pre-construction). Even then, others may be competing for a particular property and the seller is very commonly heavily directing pricing; usually the seller is more than knowledgeable on real estate conditions.
There are also lots of examples of 1031 exchanges, family exchanges, etc… but we wanted to look at the numbers for a traditional resale sale.
Is there a clear winner when an off-market property sale takes place? NO. We looked at 3 zip codes in D.C. — 20003, 20010 and 20011. We wanted an even mix of condo/coop sales, fee-simple (house) sales and enough data to really see if it matters, so we looked at all of the transactions in the past 60 days.
Now remember our blog is only 500 words and if you made it this far you've likely read more than 80% of our readers, high five, so I am going to keep it too the point.
If you sold your property somewhere between 5-7 days after being on market, you generally received 24-27% more per SF than if you sold it after 0 days. The tough thing is statistically speaking, after 7 days in these zip codes it is a linear line down to below what you might have sold off market or in 0 days.
How did we know if a property sold off market? We made an assumption that if it was in the MLS for 0 days it was likely entered for comp purposes only. Any days over 0 days means it was effectively marketed for some period of time.
In today's low inventory conditions even 1-2 days may be sufficient to get as many as 20 potential buyers through a property and thus accept a bid, but I understand this isn't perfect.
Oh, and no it's not just as easy as raising the off-market price by 24-27%, why? Game Theory. Think of it this way, if a buyer and a seller are negotiating there are 2 parties at odds, but if an unknown negotiator is brought into to play it changes the dynamic. Thus, the negotiation leverage (I will not open a can of worms, I will not open a can of worms).
In short: does it benefit a seller to sell a property off market? NO, NOT REALLY in today's market unless the property fails to sell in the sweet spot for that area (again in our zip codes it was 5-7 days).
If you are a buyer, should you buy a property off market? YES, UNLESS that property is unlikely to sell in the sweet spot for that area (5-7 days for our example).

In our efforts to garner support for future editions of Pushcart's publication, a number of notable writers – many of whom have seen their work in the pages of Pushcart over the years, or have been contributing editors in the past – have accepted our invitation to attend, or otherwise endorse Where Words Survive And Thrive. Piecemeal, Pushcart is an annual tome of the newest, best short fiction and poetry. The series seen as a whole is perpetually contemporary; a yearly snapshot of the terrain of letters any given year. A true writer's reader since 1976, it has come close to epitomizing what good writing looks like in singularly compiled volumes.
A lot has happened since the founding editors threw their hats into the ring not quite knowing what would be said about their little venture a half-century later; that it would eventually be called "a stalwart and a staple of American letters … Lively, unpredictable, eclectic and serious."
One of those founding members is Joyce Carol Oates who, in the American canon, is seemingly everywhere, in craft and in person. She delivers commencement speeches, attends book releases, comments on social and political datum via Twitter, doing her bit to remain not only a part of the larger conversation, but to be a distinct part of it. This informs how 'everywhere' the author can be.
She is a poet, an essayist, a playwright, a professor; a devoted practitioner of the arts as well as a patron of them, and has been a known author for over fifty years. Her awards include the National Book Award for them, multiple nominations for the Pulitzer Prize for short story collections The Wheel of Love and Other Stories and Lovely, Dark, Deep: Stories and for novels Black Water, What I lived for, and Blonde. This year alone Oates published two novels, and has another forthcoming in 2016.
A longtime friend of WordTheatre, Oates has read at an event in Los Angeles, which was in honor of her body of work in 2014, and at a Pushcart benefit in 2013, where she was esteemed hostess.
Her endorsement of Where Words Survive And Thrive is not surprising, but it is reassuring. In a Los Angeles Times article printed earlier this year, Oates was quoted: "Prose fiction is neutral in effect – but the spoken word is fraught with meaning." WordTheatre's focus is on the redoubled effect of superior prose and poetry when read by performers for an audience. To the benefit of the Pushcart Prize, the words will survive and thrive in this way July 18 – and thankfully much longer in print.

BBC: NHS warned on computer spending
Two more articles in continuing coverage of the UK's National Health Service (NHS) computerization effort: One article from the BBC states: '…Recent reports from the National Audit Office "graphically illustrated" the need for improved information about equipment, bed management and hospital acquired infections, said the Tory MP [David Davis]. "Time and again, we have seen poor design, poor implementation and weak cost control," he said. Link courtesy of Richard Shilling. The second article in Computer Weekly is an editorial about open source and the dangers of NHS cozying up to Microsoft: '…The Government will be taking a huge risk – should it be unsatisfied with the projects, will it be easy to move to another supplier? And how much would such a move cost? Microsoft's track record on producing technology that can be easily integrated with that of its competitors raises an ominous spectre here… Link courtesy of Dave Scott.

Information Week: Get Well, Fast
Information Week has an article about the implications of having and not having healthcare information technology in the face of a bio-terrorism attack: '…Information-sharing among government health agencies and across health-care organizations still depends mostly on the phone, fax, and mail. That raises concerns about whether the health-care industry has the kind of collaboration tools needed to spot a biological threat quickly enough to contain it.
"This crisis is a wake-up call for the health-care industry to leverage IT for support and integration of care," says Martin Lustick, Kaiser Permanente's VP and associate medical director for operations… This link courtesy of Wayne Wilson.

BJHC: Open-source software for the NHS
Dr Adrian Midgley, Dr Douglas Carnall and Colin Smith have an article (abstract only, subscription required) in the British Journal of Healthcare Computing: ' Proprietary software places purchasers at their suppliers' mercy for support and customisation; lock-in is the rule. Open-source software ensures that code is freely available for anyone to download and use. Software businesses that tailor and service the software for organisations can still be profitable but will free users from supplier lock-in. Several NHS organisations are already deploying open-source software with considerable satisfaction. Open-source development methods have yet to be widely used in the healthcare domain, but there are many lessons for the developers of applications. Thanks to Dave Scott for this link.
Information Technology and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry: Ethical Issues
Medscape (registration required) has an article on the ethical issues of Informatics in child and adolescent Psychiatry here: '…Principal among ethical issues concerning children and adolescents are those of their vulnerability and need for protection by either parents, guardians, or agencies; the complexity involved in transitioning from childhood to adolescence; and the problems innate to divorce and joint guardianship. Principal among ethical issues concerning psychiatric patients are those of confidentiality, the right to quality information, and the right to be informed of how information about patients may be used…

The Guardian: Gates to help modernize NHS
The Guardian is reporting on Bill Gates upcoming trip to Britain: 'Alan Milburn, the health secretary, has enlisted Bill Gates to help pull the health service out of the stone age in information technology. The Microsoft chairman will fly to Britain this week to tell chief executives of NHS trusts how to develop integrated systems to produce improvements in the speed and quality of patient care…' It will be interesting to see what happens if MS goes into this in a big way since historically healthcare has swallowed one health IT reformer after another.


Employment is concentrated in local government and private water, sewage, and other systems utilities.
Completion of an associate degree or a 1-year certificate program increases an applicant�s chances for employment and promotion.
Because the number of applicants in this field is normally low, job prospects will be good for qualified individuals, particularly those with training in all aspects of water and wastewater treatment.
Clean water is essential for everyday life. Water treatment plant and system operators treat water so that it is safe to drink. Liquid waste treatment plant and system operators, also known as wastewater treatment plant and system operators, remove harmful pollutants from domestic and industrial liquid waste so that it is safe to return to the environment.
Water is pumped from wells, rivers, streams, and reservoirs to water treatment plants, where it is treated and distributed to customers. Wastewater travels through customers� sewer pipes to wastewater treatment plants, where it is either treated and returned to streams, rivers, and oceans or reused for irrigation and landscaping. Operators in both types of plants control equipment and processes that remove or destroy harmful materials, chemical compounds, and microorganisms from the water. They also control pumps, valves, and other equipment that moves the water or wastewater through the various treatment processes, after which they dispose of the removed waste materials.
Operators read, interpret, and adjust meters and gauges to make sure that plant equipment and processes are working properly. Operators operate chemical-feeding devices, take samples of the water or wastewater, perform chemical and biological laboratory analyses, and adjust the amounts of chemicals, such as chlorine, in the water. They use a variety of instruments to sample and measure water quality and they utilize common hand and power tools to make repairs to valves, pumps, and other equipment.
Water and wastewater treatment plant and system operators increasingly rely on computers to help monitor equipment, store the results of sampling, make process-control decisions, schedule and record maintenance activities, and produce reports. When equipment malfunctions, operators also may use computers to determine the cause of the malfunction and seek its solution.
Occasionally, operators must work during emergencies. A heavy rainstorm, for example, may cause large amounts of wastewater to flow into sewers, exceeding a plant�s treatment capacity. Emergencies also can be caused by conditions inside a plant, such as chlorine gas leaks or oxygen deficiencies. To handle these conditions, operators are trained to make an emergency management response and use special safety equipment and procedures to protect public health and the facility. During these periods, operators may work under extreme pressure to correct problems as quickly as possible. Because working conditions may be dangerous, operators must be extremely cautious.
The specific duties of plant operators depend on the type and size of the plant. In smaller plants, one operator may control all of the machinery, perform tests, keep records, handle complaints, and perform repairs and maintenance. A few operators may handle both a water treatment and a wastewater treatment plant. In larger plants with many employees, operators may be more specialized and monitor only one process. The staff also may include chemists, engineers, laboratory technicians, mechanics, helpers, supervisors, and a superintendent.
Water pollution standards are largely set by two major Federal environmental statutes: the Clean Water Act, which regulates the discharge of pollutants, and the Safe Drinking Water Act, which specifies standards for drinking water. Industrial facilities that send their wastes to municipal treatment plants must meet certain minimum standards to ensure that the wastes have been adequately pretreated and will not damage municipal treatment facilities. Municipal water treatment plants also must meet stringent standards for drinking water. The list of contaminants regulated by these statutes has grown over time. As a result, plant operators must be familiar with the guidelines established by Federal regulations and how they affect their plant. In addition, operators must be aware of any guidelines imposed by the State or locality in which the plant operates.
Water and wastewater treatment plant and system operators work both indoors and outdoors and may be exposed to noise from machinery and to unpleasant odors. Operators� work is physically demanding and often is performed in unclean locations. Operators must pay close attention to safety procedures because of the presence of hazardous conditions, such as slippery walkways, dangerous gases, and malfunctioning equipment. Plants operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week; therefore, operators work one of three 8-hour shifts, including weekends and holidays, on a rotational basis. Operators may be required to work overtime.
A high school diploma usually is required for an individual to become a water or wastewater treatment plant operator. Operators need mechanical aptitude and should be competent in basic mathematics, chemistry, and biology. They must have the ability to apply data to formulas prescribing treatment requirements, flow levels, and concentration levels. Some basic familiarity with computers also is necessary because of the trend toward computer-controlled equipment and more sophisticated instrumentation. Certain positions�particularly in larger cities and towns�are covered by civil service regulations. Applicants for these positions may be required to pass a written examination testing their mathematics skills, mechanical aptitude, and general intelligence.
The completion of an associate degree or a 1-year certificate program in water quality and wastewater treatment technology increases an applicant�s chances for employment and promotion, because plants are becoming more complex. Offered throughout the country, these programs provide a good general knowledge of water and wastewater treatment processes, as well as basic preparation for becoming an operator.
The Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments of 1996, enforced by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, specify national minimum standards for certification and recertification of operators of community and nontransient, noncommunity water systems. As a result, operators must pass an examination certifying that they are capable of overseeing wastewater treatment plant operations. There are different levels of certification, depending on the operator�s experience and training. Higher levels qualify the operator for overseeing a wider variety of treatment processes. Certification requirements vary by State and by size of the treatment plant. Although relocation may mean having to become certified in a new jurisdiction, many States accept other States� certifications.
Most State drinking water and water pollution control agencies offer courses to improve operators� skills and knowledge. The courses cover principles of treatment processes and process control, laboratory procedures, maintenance, management skills, collection systems, safety, chlorination, sedimentation, biological treatment, sludge treatment and disposal, and flow measurements. Some operators take correspondence courses on subjects related to water and wastewater treatment, and some employers pay part of the tuition for related college courses in science or engineering.
As operators are promoted, they become responsible for more complex treatment processes. Some operators are promoted to plant supervisor or superintendent; others advance by transferring to a larger facility. Postsecondary training in water and wastewater treatment, coupled with increasingly responsible experience as an operator, may be sufficient to qualify a worker for becoming superintendent of a small plant, where a superintendent also serves as an operator. However, educational requirements are rising as larger, more complex treatment plants are built to meet new drinking water and water pollution control standards. With each promotion, the operator must have greater knowledge of Federal, State, and local regulations. Superintendents of large plants generally need an engineering or science degree.
A few operators get jobs as technicians with State drinking water or water pollution control agencies. In that capacity, they monitor and provide technical assistance to plants throughout the State. Vocational-technical school or community college training generally is preferred for technician jobs. Experienced operators may transfer to related jobs with industrial liquid waste treatment plants, water or liquid waste treatment equipment and chemical companies, engineering consulting firms, or vocational-technical schools.
Water and wastewater treatment plant and system operators held about 94,000 jobs in 2004. Almost 4 in 5 operators worked for local governments. Others worked primarily for private water, sewage, and other systems utilities and for private waste treatment and disposal and waste management services companies. Private firms are increasingly providing operation and management services to local governments on a contract basis.
Water and wastewater treatment plant and system operators were employed throughout the country, but most jobs were in larger towns and cities. Although nearly all operators worked full time, those in small towns may work only part time at the treatment plant, with the remainder of their time spent handling other municipal duties.
Employment of water and wastewater treatment plant and system operators is expected to grow about as fast as average for all occupations through the year 2014. Job prospects will be good for qualified individuals because the number of applicants in this field is normally low, due primarily to the unclean and physically demanding nature of the work. Workers who have training in all aspects of water and wastewater treatment and who can handle multiple duties will have the best opportunities.
The increasing population and the growth of the economy are expected to boost demand for essential water and wastewater treatment services. As new plants are constructed to meet this demand, employment of water and wastewater treatment plant and system operators will increase. In addition, many job openings will occur as experienced operators leave the labor force or transfer to other occupations.
Local governments are the largest employers of water and wastewater treatment plant and system operators. However, Federal certification requirements have increased utilities� reliance on private firms specializing in the operation and management of water and wastewater treatment facilities. As a result, employment in privately owned facilities will grow faster than the average.
Median annual earnings of water and wastewater treatment plant and system operators were $34,960 in May 2004. The middle 50 percent earned between $27,180 and $43,720. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $21,700, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $53,540. Median annual earnings of water and liquid waste treatment plant and systems operators in May 2004 were $34,990 in local government and $32,350 in water, sewage, and other systems.
In addition to their annual salaries, water and wastewater treatment plant and system operators usually receive benefits that may include health and life insurance, a retirement plan, and educational reimbursement for job-related courses.
Other workers whose main activity consists of operating a system of machinery to process or produce materials include chemical plant and system operators; gas plant operators; petroleum pump system operators, refinery operators, and gaugers; power plant operators, distributors, and dispatchers; and stationary engineers and boiler operators.
For information on employment opportunities, contact State or local water pollution control agencies, State water and liquid waste operator associations, State environmental training centers, or local offices of the State employment service.

Kui Buri (, ) is a district (amphoe) in the northern part of Prachuap Khiri Khan province, central Thailand.

History
Mueang Kui was an ancient city of the Ayutthaya Kingdom. In the reign of King Boromakot, Kui was fourth-class city. In the Rattanakosin era, King Rama II established a Mueang Bang Nang Rom, which had its city hall in Kui Buri. King Mongkut (Rama IV) renamed Mueang Bang Nang Rom "Prachuap Khiri Khan", with the same city hall. When King Chulalongkorn created Monthon Phetchaburi, Kui Buri was included. In 1898 the city hall was moved to Ko Lak bay and Kui Buri was downgraded to a subdistrict of Mueang Prachuap Khiri Khan District. The minor district (king amphoe) of Kui Buri was re-established on 19 July 1960 and officially upgraded to a full district on 16 July 1963.

The British diplomat John Crawfurd visited the area in 1822 during the mission described in his book Journal of an embassy from the Governor-General of India to the courts of Siam and Cochin-China: exhibiting a view of the actual state of those kingdoms. He reported the name of the town as "Kwi".

Its name Kui derived from the Khmer (), meaning "rhino horn", and buri derived from the Sanskrit purī (पुरी); meaning "town" or "city"; hence "rhino horn city". Rhino horn has been an important export product since the Ayutthaya period.

Geography
Neighbouring districts are Sam Roi Yot to the north and Mueang Prachuap Khiri Khan to the south. To the west is the Tanintharyi Division of Myanmar, to the east the Gulf of Thailand.

The main river of the district is the Khlong Kui.

Administration
The district is divided into six sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 47 villages (mubans). There are two townships (thesaban tambons) in the district. Kui Buri covers parts of tambons Kui Buri and Kui Nuea, and Rai Mai covers parts of tambon Sam Krathai.

The missing number five belongs to tambon Rai Mai, reassigned to Sam Roi Yot District.

I don't read too much Science Fiction anymore although it used to be one of my favorite genres. Then I looked at this book and saw it was over 300 pages on my e-book and I wondered if I could get it read in the time I had allotted and then…I couldn't put the thing down. I read it in two days.
This is a great page turner mystery and although its genre is listed as Science Fiction, many of the discoveries in this storyline could be very realistic today. Its setting is a college town with normal everyday people and a group of amateur radio astronomers. One member, a sort of single father, thinks his instrumentation and software has detected a possible alien cry for help. There are plenty of your normal naysayers but there are a certain amount of people making it sound believable for plenty of other reasons.
It's well written, well edited, and its characters are as interesting and as human as can be. This is an easy read but I think I am saying that because it flows so well. It does have intricate twists and turns, and you need to pay attention. That's what makes it an even greater read.
