Any ideas?
I read somewhere that serial ports should be disable in this computer.
I have one and I know it works with 2.1, but my serial ports were disable way before trying pfsense on it.

More fallout surrounding the 1MDB banking scandal came Tuesday as the Federal Reserve banned former Goldman Sachs banker Andrea Vella from the banking industry for his alleged involvement in scam that swindled billions of dollars.
In a tweet announcing the news, the Fed said he was banned "for his role in Goldman's financing of a defrauded Malaysian sovereign wealth fund."
@federalreserve announces it is permanently barring Andrea Vella, a senior executive at Goldman Sachs, from the banking industry for his role in Goldman's financing of a defrauded Malaysian sovereign wealth fund: https://t.co/hPK8fcSCjt
— Federal Reserve (@federalreserve) February 4, 2020
Vella was placed on leave by Goldman Sachs in 2018 after not telling anyone at the bank that 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) bond offerings handled by Goldman in 2012 and 2013 were potentially used for illicit activities. Per the Fed's statement on the ban:
Goldman arranged bond offerings in 2012 and 2013 for 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), Malaysia's state-owned development and investment company. The consent order states that Vella failed to escalate Low Taek Jho's involvement in the bond offerings. Low was a person of known concern to Goldman, and his involvement indicated heightened potential underwriting risks.
The U.S. Department of Justice has criminally charged Low and two former Goldman employees, Tim Leissner and Roger Ng, for their involvement in the scandal. Leissner has pleaded guilty. Goldman is still trying to settle regulatory and Justice Department probes surrounding the conspiracy that allegedly involved billions of dollars siphoned from the Malaysian government.
Vella has agreed to comply with the Fed's ruling and is slated to exit Goldman, someone familiar with the matter told Bloomberg.
But Vella's lawyer Andrew Levander of Dechert LLP in New York said he complied with the ban "in order to move on to the next stage of his career."
"After years of exhaustive investigation, the Federal Reserve neither alleges that Mr. Vella knew anything about the bribes and kickbacks that have been alleged about others nor seeks to impose a fine — precisely because Mr. Vella in fact did not know about such conduct," Levander said in a note.

Serbia's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense Milos Vucevic has confirmed that Serbia's armed forces have been ordered to rapidly advance to the administrative border with Kosovo and Metohija.
"Serbian President and Supreme Commander-in-Chief of our armed forces Aleksandar Vucic has signed a decree raising the combat readiness of the Serbian armed forces to the highest level and ordered them to move rapidly toward the administrative line with Kosovo and Metohija," he wrote on his Twitter account.
The minister told journalists earlier on Friday that "everything President [of Serbia Aleksandar] Vucic has been warning about for days and weeks, i.e. that Pristina continues escalation and terrorizes Serbs, primarily in Kosovo and Metohija," is happening in real life. He stressed that the actions by Kosovo's Prime Minister Albin Kurti "lead to red lines, to a total collapse of dialogue.".
The Serbian president's move comes amid rising tensions in four Serb-populated municipalities in the northern part of Kosovo and Metohija, where Kosovar law enforcement officers are trying to seize administrative buildings despite local residents' attempts to defend them. Media outlets have reported of sirens going off, disruptions in mobile communications and law enforcement's use of stun grenades and tear gas.

Data from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) shows that the port saw a 24.1 per cent increase in container cargo volume in August this year compared to August 2019.
Specifically, the Port of New York and New Jersey handled a total of 843,191 TEUs in August, marking the "busiest August" in the port's history. The Port of New York and New Jersey in the US East reached a historic breakthrough in August, overtaking the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach in California in the US West to become the number one container port in the country in terms of import and export container throughput.
Meanwhile, the western U.S. port of Long Beach handled 806,940 TEUs and the port of Los Angeles carried 805,314 TEUs, ranking second and third, respectively, in the nation's ports.
Prior to COVID-19, imports from South East Asia were mostly berthed on the US West Coast for cost reasons. The global container freight index launched by the Baltic Shipping Exchange and Freightos shows that the current freight price from China/East Asia to the US West Coast is US$3,441/40-foot container (FEU), and the freight price from China/East Asia to Northern Europe is US$7,657/FEU. Although the price in the US East has fallen from its high level, it is still more than twice as expensive as the price in the US West.
A number of foreign trade industry insiders told the First Financial Reporter that due to the fear of potential strikes due to labour contract negotiations this summer, shippers or carriers made early adjustments to avoid the US West route, which led to a continued shift of trade flows from the US West to the US East.
Previously, the Port of New York and New Jersey had been the third largest port in the country and the largest on the US East Coast. Historical data shows that previously, 72% of all cargo from East Coast ports chose New York and New Jersey as their first port of call. The port has also been competitive due to its direct access to the East Coast's largest consumer market.
In October 2021, during the US West Port Madness, a First Financial reporter visited the Port of New York and New Jersey on site and saw business as usual at the Port of New York and New Jersey, without the sight of piles of cargo. Today, there has been a dramatic change.
According to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the five busiest months for the port since records began were in 2022.
Until August, when data showed that the "risk aversion mentality" had produced a historic change in the number of containers handled by the port, making this August the busiest August in the history of the Port of New York and New Jersey, and its fourth busiest month ever.
"We are surpassing the volume of shipments we had before the epidemic." Kevin O'Toole, chairman of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, said, "Our plan to supplement our infrastructure with rail was an unlikely thing four or five years ago, and now it's happening."
Continued growth in logistics has made East Coast ports and Gulf of Mexico ports the winners of the current shift in trade flows, and the logistics companies and warehouses that service these ports are benefiting from the increased containers.
Meanwhile, cargo volumes at the US West, traditionally the gateway to US imports and exports, are continuing to decline. in August, cargo volumes at the Port of Los Angeles were down 15% compared to the same month last year and 9% below the five-year average.
The epidemic-induced US sourcing boom had overwhelmed the Port of Los Angeles in 2021, which handled a record 10.7 million containers last year, the highest in its 115-year history. In the first seven months of 2022, the Port of Los Angeles saw import volumes on par with those of 2021, but that momentum waned from August onwards. The Port of Los Angeles' neighbour, the Port of Long Beach, has also seen import volumes fall for two consecutive months.
The container surge has apparently also increased waiting times at East Coast and Gulf of Mexico ports.
As of last week, according to MarineTraffic monitoring, 28 container ships waiting at the Port of Savannah were waiting an average of 9.9 days, 12 container ships outside the Port of New York and New Jersey were waiting an average of nine days, and 25 container ships were at anchor at the Port of Houston, waiting an average of eight days.
Meanwhile, the number of vessels waiting at US West ports is declining. in January 2022, the Southern California Marine Exchange and the Los Angeles and Long Beach Vessel Traffic Services Center set a record of 109 vessels waiting, which recently dropped to a record low of eight vessels at one point.
However, according to Josh Brazil, vice president of supply chain insights at project44, a US-based supply chain digital services company, "Despite the increase in imports, congestion at East Coast ports could see an inflection point after months of record import levels. Port backlogs are likely to continue to ease in the fourth quarter as a slowdown in consumer demand leads to lower ship numbers."
With the US still in the midst of a consumer transition between the fourth quarter of this year and the first quarter of next year, and retailers de-stocking, a single-digit year-on-year decline in imports is to be expected. Retail sales and inventory data released by the US Census Bureau (USCB) on 15 September showed that retail sales in August remained largely at a high level, while total retail inventories continued to climb, suggesting that 'de-stocking' will take a relatively long time.
Imports in the fourth quarter will be lower than in the same period last year, and the easing of inflation is an attempt by the US government to release positive signals that real inflation is still at a very high level. The Federal Reserve has again raised interest rates sharply, and the suppressive effect on consumption will gradually emerge later, without seeing the good news of a rebound in the volume of goods.

Colorado Rockies: Our 5 most popular articles from October
By Kevin Henry
October was quite a month for the Colorado Rockies. The start of the month not only saw the first "Rocktober" since 2009 but also the heartbreak of losing in the National League Wild Card game to the Arizona Diamondbacks. The end of the month saw Nolan Arenado and DJ LeMahieu earn Fielding Bible Awards for their defensive presence in the Colorado infield.
In between those moments, however, there were plenty of things happening with the Rockies. Fans showed their interest in Colorado Rockies news by ingesting a near-record number of page views on our site. For that, we are grateful and promise to continue to bring you the latest Rockies information and opinions.
With so much interest in Colorado news in October, we thought we would look back at five of our most popular stories of the month. In case you missed them, this is your chance to get ready for the real offseason that begins on Thursday. And don't worry, if you click to read a story, it will open in a new tab so you won't lose your place on this article.
Who could be the Colorado closer in 2018?
With Greg Holland to likely test free agency, we took a look at some of the players already in the Rockies system who could take over as the closer for the team next season.
3 players who will improve dramatically in 2018

- Colorado Rockies: What if Todd Helton had played football instead?
- Colorado Rockies: Charlie Blackmon out for the season
- Colorado Rockies: Injuries shift look of roster ahead of Dodgers series
- Colorado Rockies: Has Sean Bouchard earned a second look in 2023?
As good as Colorado's season was in 2017, we still think the best is ahead for three players who will step up their game even more next season.
Which free agents could return to the Rockies in 2018?
There are plenty of question marks for the offseason besides just what happens with Holland. What about Jonathan Lucroy, Pat Neshek, Mark Reynolds and others? We looked into the crystal ball to give our predictions.
3 offseason needs and potential targets for the Rockies
As great as the 2017 season was, there are ways for Colorado to improve in 2018. We took a look at which players might be a good fit for the Rockies next season.
Next: Breaking down Colorado's positions by speed in 2017
Why first base should be the real focus of free agency for Colorado
Sure, the Rockies signed Ian Desmond last offseason to be the team's current and future first baseman. However, strange things happened in 2017 that could make Desmond an even better fit in the outfield for the Rockies in the future … especially with some of the first basemen who will be available this offseason.

[NOTE - Operational Insights is now a part of Operations Management Suite. Learn more at microsoft.com/OMS ]
We provide an example below that uses the Native Syslog Data Source in SCOM and combines it with a Powershell module that allows do parse out additional information out of the syslog event and place them in 'similar' fields in the Type=Event shape that was originally designed for Windows Events.
We decided some mapping in the sample as a starting point, but you can edit the script and change them as you like. You might need some Management Pack authoring skills if you want to customize this some more. We can't post the full XML in this page as it will be too verbose, but the full file is linked/can be downloaded at the end of the post. If you need to make tweaks, most of the logic is in the Powershell script, and there are a lot of comments in there. There are also similar examples of using syslog in SCOM out there on many blogs and communities.
In this sample implementation we mapped the following fields:
Here's how our sample data looks like once in OpInsights search:
The MP contains a rule which uses this composite module as data source, and it then uses our HTTP write action to post to Advisor service like the 'Log Management' intelligence pack would do (this also means this traffic will count towards 'Log Management' in the 'Usage' chart in the Portal).
The Data Source in the rule also has a configuration parameter 'MinSeverity' that can be used to determine the lowest severity level to accept. It defaults to 5 (which means severities 0-5 will be accepted, but not those >5).
The Write Action in the rule tells the Management Server not to store this data in the onprem databases, but to send to OpInsights. Note - If you want to learn more about the write action that allows sending events to Operational Insights, also read this other blog post . And if you want to learn more about collecting and mapping Syslog messages in Operations Manager (without employing a script), refer to this great post by Michael .
<Rule ID="Microsoft.IntelligencePacks.LogManagement.Sample.Syslog.CollectSyslogs" Enabled="false" Target="SC!Microsoft.SystemCenter.HealthService" ConfirmDelivery="false" Remotable="true" Priority="Normal" DiscardLevel="100">
<DataSource ID="CustomSyslogDS" TypeID="Microsoft.IntelligencePacks.LogManagement.Sample.Syslog.CustomSyslogDS">
<MinSeverity>5</MinSeverity> <!-- what is the minimum level to be accepted and sent up to OpInsights -->
<WriteAction ID="HttpWA" TypeID="IPTypes!Microsoft.SystemCenter.CollectCloudGenericEvent" />
The rule will run (governed by an override, also in the MP) on the Management Servers.
You will still need to configure your syslog-enabled devices to send to the MS (how to do this varies on OS's and Devices types).
Note - if you are already using syslog receiving on your MS's, you might need to change the override and/or re-target this rule, as there can only be one instance of the syslog module listening on the syslog port (UDP 514) at any given time, and multiple rules using that module in OM will conflict with each other and fail to load. You know your existing rule set.
The full XML file for this sample management pack can be downloaded from here .
Important - If you notice that the script is too heavy – there's a potential of losing events if too many events are passed thru a powershell module – I posted an alternative implementation on GitHub which only uses the native SCOM data mapper, which is a lot more faster and reliable, but only allows limited reshaping/mapping.
We recommend you do your own testing first in a pre-production or QA environment, and use at your discretion.

No, most semi-sweet chocolates are not vegan. They often contain dairy or other animal-derived ingredients. But there some vegan options below
Semi-sweet chocolate is one of those delights that manage to find its way into an assortment of baked goods, from cookies to brownies. While the term "semi-sweet" might pique your curiosity about its sugar content, the bigger question for those on a vegan diet is whether or not it fits into their lifestyle. Let's unwrap the mystery behind semi-sweet chocolate and unveil its vegan status.
What Is Semi-Sweet Chocolate Made Of?
Semi-sweet chocolate is a type of dark chocolate that contains sugar, chocolate liquor, and often added fat—usually cocoa butter. Unlike milk chocolate, it doesn't contain milk solids. However, other ingredients can make their way into the mix depending on the brand and recipe.
Imagine, for a moment, you're in a kitchen, and someone hands you a bar of semi-sweet chocolate. You break it apart, and with each snap, you can almost sense the ingredients that went into it. But what are those ingredients? What makes that piece of chocolate crumble in your mouth with a mix of bitterness and sweetness?
Semi-Sweet Chocolate Common Ingredients List:
- SUGAR: The primary sweetener in most chocolates, which gives it that addictive taste many of us crave.
- CHOCOLATE: The essence of the product. This is typically chocolate liquor or cocoa mass, which is the ground or melted state of cocoa nibs.
- COCOA BUTTER: This is the fat component that makes the chocolate creamy. It's extracted from cocoa beans and has a distinctive, rich flavor.
- MILKFAT: Not present in all semi-sweet chocolates, but when it is, it's a clear sign the product isn't vegan. As the name suggests, it's the fat derived from milk.
- SOY LECITHIN: An emulsifier that helps mix water and fats. It improves the texture and smoothness of the chocolate.
- NATURAL FLAVORS: These can be derived from plant and animal sources. Without specific details, it's hard to determine the vegan status based solely on this ingredient.
Are Semi-Sweet Chocolate Vegan?
Many brands incorporate dairy products, like milkfat, into their recipes, which renders them unsuitable for vegans. Think of it as adding a splash of dairy milk into a black coffee. Even a little can change the status. And while it's tempting to think that "semi-sweet" means "semi-vegan", that's sadly not the case.
Non-Vegan Brands of Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips:
- Nestle Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: A popular choice in many households but contains milkfat.
- Hershey's Chocolate Chips: Another household favorite, also not vegan-friendly.
- Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: Known for its premium quality, but again, not suitable for vegans.
- See's Candies baking chips: Rich and delectable, but not for those on a strict vegan diet.
- 365 Everyday Value Chocolate Chips and Chunks: Despite the wholesome name, these too have non-vegan ingredients.
However, all is not lost. The vegan market has expanded, and some brands are dedicated to ensuring their chocolate chips are devoid of animal-derived ingredients.
Vegan Brands of Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips:
- Enjoy Life Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: These are vegan and free from many common allergens.
- Guittard Chocolate Baking Chips: A high-quality option that avoids the use of animal-derived ingredients.
Final Thoughts
Navigating the world of chocolates as a vegan can be akin to walking through a maze. Each turn presents a new brand with different ingredients, some straightforward and others cloaked in ambiguity. However, the crux of the matter remains: while many semi-sweet chocolates are not vegan, hope isn't lost.
There are brands out there dedicated to vegan consumers, ensuring they don't miss out on this delectable treat. So, do a quick ingredient check the next time you're baking or have a craving. It's a small step that ensures you're satisfying your sweet tooth and staying true to your vegan commitment.

- Ian Hudson told TMZ that filming with guns on the movie's set felt unsafe.
- He said he felt "heavy" blanks hitting his face and body during his own death scene.
- But he said he didn't address the concerns at the time because he was a new actor, and didn't want to cause trouble.
An actor in "Rust" has told TMZ that he felt the movie's gun scenes were dangerous but was too afraid to raise his concerns because he didn't want to jeopardize his career.
Ian Hudson, who plays an outlaw who gets shot and killed in the movie, told TMZ in an interview published Tuesday that he felt that his death scene, which was filmed October 8, was "life-threatening."
"When the rounds were released when they shot at me, I actually did feel the blanks hitting my face and my body and I could feel the wind from the shotgun being discharged," he told TMZ. "It was heavy. It was strong."
Watch his interview here:
Hudson's comments came days after his fellow "Rust" actor Alec Baldwin fatally shot the cinematographer Halyna Hutchins with a prop gun last Thursday. Baldwin was rehearsing a scene for the Western movie and was told by the assistant director that the firearm was a "cold gun," meaning there were no live rounds in the prop, an affidavit said.
The only protection against a potential mishap on set were plastic shields around expensive camera equipment, Hudson told TMZ.
He said he decided not to raise his concerns about the set's gun safety because, as a new actor, he didn't want to "cause trouble."
"So I held my tongue for a lot of it, but some of the other actors who had worked on a lot more sets than I have ... They were double and triple checking our weapons after the armorer gave them to us, whether they were cold or hot," Hudson told TMZ.
But some of the "Rust" cast members were so alarmed about the safety conditions that they even talked about the accidental killing of Brandon Lee in between filming, Hudson said.
Lee, who was 28 years old, died on the set of "The Crow" in 1993 after he was struck by a bullet from a prop firearm.

In order to succeed as a Six Sigma Black Belt, you need to take my six sigma certification seriously. The courses will teach you how to analyze data and complete design drawings and analyses. Once you have learned the material, you will be expected to implement the techniques and strategies that have been taught to you. This process can take months, even years, depending on the scope and complexity of the project.
How long does it take to become a Six Sigma Black Belt? Most people who work toward this certification find that they have to work for several years in order to complete it. This is not because Six Sigma was created with a time limit; rather, it is the implementation of the process that teaches Black Belts how to become effective leaders. Six Sigma requires that you develop an ability to think critically and come up with quick solutions. Without these abilities, you won't see improvement with Six Sigma projects.
How long does it take for someone who wants to become a Six Sigma Black Belt to pass the Six Sigma Black Belt exam? If you enroll in the Six Sigma training course, you will find that you are expected to take the exam after completing the course. If you decide not to take the exam, you will have completed your initial training, but you won't be able to apply what you have learned until later. It can take several years before you are able to take the actual Six Sigma Black Belt certification exam.
How long does it take for someone who wants to become a Six Sigma Black Belt to understand the processes involved with Six Sigma? Once Black Belts learn the material, they can implement it in their own organizations with great results. However, most people take two or more years to fully grasp all the concepts. People who know nothing about Six Sigma often ask if they will receive a Six Sigma Black Belt Certification after completing the program. If you want to become a leader in your company, then the answer to that question should be "Yes!"
How long does it take for someone who wants to become a six sigma black belt to successfully complete the program? Six Sigma black belts must pass a rigorous set of tests before they are certified. The exams measure an individual's understanding of the material, as well as his or her ability to design and implement quality improvement programs. The black belt training takes at least twelve months. Once the Six Sigma Black Belt certification is earned, then you can begin applying your knowledge and implementing your strategies.
How long does it take for someone who wants to become a six sigma black belt to master the material and properly implement the strategies he or she has learned into his or her company? Six Sigma requires an individual to work on the projects for at least one year before they will be considered Black Belts. Mastering Six Sigma requires at least two years of study. During this time, students must apply their newly gained knowledge and apply them within their organization. Eventually, when individuals are Black Belts, they will be able to contribute to the improvement of their company by implementing the strategies they have learned and discussed within the Six Sigma Program.
How long does it take for an individual to become a six sigma black belt? Six Sigma is a challenging and gratifying industry. However, many do not reach the highest levels of success within it until after many years of hard work. It is not unrealistic to expect to attain a black belt certification in as little as two years.

Amy Jacobson files suit in `pool party' case
Former NBC 5 news reporter Amy Jacobson has filed a lawsuit seeking in excess of $1 million in damages related to an incident that occurred one year ago this week (story)
Defendants in the suit are:
1.CBS Broadcasting, Inc., whose local affiliate, WBBM-Ch. 2, first aired video of Jacobson and her children attending an outdoor gathering on July 6, 2007, at the home of Plainfield resident Craig Stebic. Stebic's wife, Lisa, had vanished April 30, 2007, and police now consider him a "person of interest" in their ongoing investigation of that disappearance.
2. Joseph Ahern, CBS 2's president and general manager
3. Mike Puccinelli, a CBS 2 reporter
4. Carol Fowler, CBS 2's news director
5. Rob Johnson, a CBS 2 anchor
6. Michele Weldon, a member of the Northwestern University journalism faculty whose remarks on the incident were carried on CBS 2.
7. Tracy Reardon, from whose home the famous video was shot.
Jacobson, through her attorney Kathleen Zellner of Oakbrook, bases her claims on allegations that the defendants invaded her privacy and showed her in a false light.
Since the story broke on July 10, 2007, and NBC 5 quickly fired Jacobson, she "has made many attempts to gain employment in the news industry," the suit alleges. "The search has led her from Tampa, Fla. to Washington D.C. to Phoenix to Los Angeles and many places in between. Stations have refused to even interview her because of the videotape and the false light (the) defendants placed her in."
Jacobson and her husband "were forced to sell their home as a result of the severe financial losses," the suit says. They "had worked extremely hard to purchase their dream home, and now rent a small apartment with their two children that is within sight of their former home."
The suit also alleges that the actions of the defendants "deprived [Jacobson's husband, Jamie Anglada, a co-plaintiff] of the financial support of Amy Jacobson, her companionship, her felicity, sexual relations and related losses."

Maybe you just bought it. Maybe you've owned it since new. 60,000 miles? 160,000 miles? Regardless, it's probably in need of attention at this point.?
"But Guy-Writing-Product-Descriptions, I change the oil regularly!"
Great! I mean - great start! Unfortunately, neglect often runs deep, and in unexpected places. What about spark plugs, ignition coils, air filter, drive belt? Those aren't "lifetime service" components - they need regular attention.
If you've read this far, hopefully I have you on the hook. If not, let me walk you through what else a thousand dollars gets you (and it does get you a lot):
Now that I have hopefully guilt-tripped you into a little more love for your X5, let me tell you the reality of this kit: it's full of go-fast parts. Sure, the X5 isn't a track monster, but you don't need a supercar to appreciate what a few extra horsepower can mean after a long day of work, with a kid screaming in the back seat, or when you're trying to haul ten-too-many bags of mulch in an attempt to limit trips to Home Depot over Memorial Day weekend. Individually, these particular products each let you capitalize on more available horsepower: TMS Power Pulleys reduce parasitic losses (shown to free up as much as 11hp), aFe's filter flows better than stock, helping your engine breath easier and make the most of each revolution (not to mention you'll be cleaning it regularly, so no lost power from a clogged filter), and Bav's high energy ignition coils are a fan favorite for snappy throttle response and exacting more power out of every gram of gasoline.
Now that I've come clean about the true purpose of this kit, let's talk about the cherry on top of this parts sundae:
Your mileage may vary, but this kit is sure to make you smile.

Microsoft reports Lapsus$ target organizations for data exfiltration, destruction
As Microsoft continues to track DEV-0537's activities, tactics, and tools, we're sharing new detection, hunting, and mitigation information to give you additional insights on remaining vigilant against these attacks.
In recent weeks, Microsoft Security teams have been actively tracking a large-scale social engineering and extortion campaign against multiple organizations with some seeing evidence of destructive elements. As this campaign has accelerated, our teams have been focused on detection, customer notifications, threat intelligence briefings, and sharing with our industry collaboration partners to understand the actor's tactics and targets. Over time, we have improved our ability to track this actor and helped customers minimize the impact of active intrusions and in some cases worked with impacted organizations to stop attacks prior to data theft or destructive actions. Microsoft is committed to providing visibility into the malicious activity we've observed and sharing insights and knowledge of actor tactics that might be useful for other organizations to protect themselves. While our investigation into the most recent attacks is still in progress, we will continue to update this blog when we have more to share.
The activity we have observed has been attributed to a threat group that Microsoft tracks as DEV-0537, also known as LAPSUS$. DEV-0537 is known for using a pure extortion and destruction model without deploying ransomware payloads. DEV-0537 started targeting organizations in the United Kingdom and South America but expanded to global targets, including organizations in government, technology, telecom, media, retail, and healthcare sectors. DEV-0537 is also known to take over individual user accounts at cryptocurrency exchanges to drain cryptocurrency holdings.
Unlike most activity groups that stay under the radar, DEV-0537 doesn't seem to cover its tracks. They go as far as announcing their attacks on social media or advertising their intent to buy credentials from employees of target organizations. DEV-0537 also uses several tactics that are less frequently used by other threat actors tracked by Microsoft. Their tactics include phone-based social engineering; SIM-swapping to facilitate account takeover; accessing personal email accounts of employees at target organizations; paying employees, suppliers, or business partners of target organizations for access to credentials and multifactor authentication (MFA) approval; and intruding in the ongoing crisis-communication calls of their targets.
The social engineering and identity-centric tactics leveraged by DEV-0537 require detection and response processes that are similar to insider risk programs–but also involve short response timeframes needed to deal with malicious external threats. In this blog, we compile the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) we've observed across multiple attacks and compromises. We also provide baseline risk mitigation strategies and recommendations to help organizations harden their organization's security against this unique blend of tradecraft.
The actors behind DEV-0537 focused their social engineering efforts to gather knowledge about their target's business operations. Such information includes intimate knowledge about employees, team structures, help desks, crisis response workflows, and supply chain relationships. Examples of these social engineering tactics include spamming a target user with multifactor authentication (MFA) prompts and calling the organization's help desk to reset a target's credentials.
Microsoft Threat Intelligence Center (MSTIC) assesses that the objective of DEV-0537 is to gain elevated access through stolen credentials that enable data theft and destructive attacks against a targeted organization, often resulting in extortion. Tactics and objectives indicate this is a cybercriminal actor motivated by theft and destruction.
While this actor's TTPs and infrastructure are constantly changing and evolving, the following sections provide additional details on the very diverse set of TTPs we have observed that DEV-0537 is using.
Initial access
DEV-0537 uses a variety of methods that are typically focused on compromising user identities to gain initial access to an organization including:
- Deploying the malicious Redline password stealer to obtain passwords and session tokens
- Purchasing credentials and session tokens from criminal underground forums
- Paying employees at targeted organizations (or suppliers/business partners) for access to credentials and MFA approval
- Searching public code repositories for exposed credentials
Using the compromised credentials and/or session tokens, DEV-0537 accesses internet-facing systems and applications. These systems most commonly include virtual private network (VPN), remote desktop protocol (RDP), virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) including Citrix, or identity providers (including Azure Active Directory, Okta). For organizations using MFA security, DEV-0537 used two main techniques to satisfy MFA requirements–session token replay and using stolen passwords to trigger simple-approval MFA prompts hoping that the legitimate user of the compromised account eventually consents to the prompts and grants the necessary approval.
In some cases, DEV-0537 first targeted and compromised an individual's personal or private (non-work-related) accounts giving them access to then look for additional credentials that could be used to gain access to corporate systems. Given that employees typically use these personal accounts or mobile phone numbers as their second-factor authentication or password recovery, the group would often use this access to reset passwords and complete account recovery actions.
Microsoft also found instances where the group successfully gained access to target organizations through recruited employees (or employees of their suppliers or business partners). DEV-0537 advertised that they wanted to buy credentials for their targets to entice employees or contractors to take part in its operation. For a fee, the willing accomplice must provide their credentials and approve the MFA prompt or have the user install AnyDesk or other remote management software on a corporate workstation allowing the actor to take control of an authenticated system. Such a tactic was just one of the ways DEV-0537 took advantage of the security access and business relationships their target organizations have with their service providers and supply chains.
In other observed activity, DEV-0537 actors performed a SIM-swapping attack to access a user's phone number before signing into the corporate network. This method allows the actors to handle phone-based authentication prompts they need to gain access to a target.
Once standard user credentials or access was obtained, DEV-0537 typically connected a system to an organization's VPN. In some cases, to meet conditional access requirements, DEV-0537 registered or joined the system to the organization's Azure Active Directory (Azure AD).
Reconnaissance and privilege escalation
Once DEV-0537 obtained access to the target network using the compromised account, they used multiple tactics to discover additional credentials or intrusion points to extend their access including:
- Exploiting unpatched vulnerabilities on internally accessible servers including JIRA, Gitlab, and Confluence
- Searching code repositories and collaboration platforms for exposed credentials and secrets
They have been consistently observed to use AD Explorer, a publicly available tool, to enumerate all users and groups in the said network. This allows them to understand which accounts might have higher privileges. They then proceeded to search collaboration platforms like SharePoint or Confluence, issue-tracking solutions like JIRA, code repositories like GitLab and GitHub, and organization collaboration channels like Teams or Slack to discover further high-privilege account credentials to access other sensitive information.
DEV-0537 is also known to exploit vulnerabilities in Confluence, JIRA, and GitLab for privilege escalation. The group compromised the servers running these applications to get the credentials of a privileged account or run in the context of the said account and dump credentials from there. The group used DCSync attacks and Mimikatz to perform privilege escalation routines. Once domain administrator access or its equivalent has been obtained, the group used the built-in ntdsutil utility to extract the AD database.
In some cases, DEV-0537 even called the organization's help desk and attempted to convince the support personnel to reset a privileged account's credentials. The group used the previously gathered information (for example, profile pictures) and had a native-English-sounding caller speak with the help desk personnel to enhance their social engineering lure. Observed actions have included DEV-0537 answering common recovery prompts such as "first street you lived on" or "mother's maiden name" to convince help desk personnel of authenticity. Since many organizations outsource their help desk support, this tactic attempts to exploit those supply chain relationships, especially where organizations give their help desk personnel the ability to elevate privileges.
Exfiltration, destruction, and extortion
Based on our observation, DEV-0537 has dedicated infrastructure they operate in known virtual private server (VPS) providers and leverage NordVPN for its egress points. DEV-0537 is aware of detections such as impossible travel and thus picked VPN egress points that were geographically like their targets. DEV-0537 then downloaded sensitive data from the targeted organization for future extortion or public release to the system joined to the organization's VPN and/or Azure AD-joined system.
DEV-0537 has been observed leveraging access to cloud assets to create new virtual machines within the target's cloud environment, which they use as actor-controlled infrastructure to perform further attacks across the target organization.
If they successfully gain privileged access to an organization's cloud tenant (either AWS or Azure), DEV-0537 creates global admin accounts in the organization's cloud instances, sets an Office 365 tenant level mail transport rule to send all mail in and out of the organization to the newly created account, and then removes all other global admin accounts, so only the actor has sole control of the cloud resources, effectively locking the organization out of all access. After exfiltration, DEV-0537 often deletes the target's systems and resources. We've observed deletion of resources both on-premises (for example, VMware vSphere/ESXi) and in the cloud to trigger the organization's incident and crisis response process.
The actor has been observed then joining the organization's crisis communication calls and internal discussion boards (Slack, Teams, conference calls, and others) to understand the incident response workflow and their corresponding response. It is assessed this provides DEV-0537 insight into the victim's state of mind, their knowledge of the intrusion, and a venue to initiate extortion demands. Notably, DEV-0537 has been observed joining incident response bridges within targeted organizations responding to destructive actions. In some cases, DEV-0537 has extorted victims to prevent the release of stolen data, and in others, no extortion attempt was made and DEV-0537 publicly leaked the data they stole.
Early observed attacks by DEV-0537 targeted cryptocurrency accounts resulting in compromise and theft of wallets and funds. As they expanded their attacks, the actors began targeting telecommunication, higher education, and government organizations in South America. More recent campaigns have expanded to include organizations globally spanning a variety of sectors. Based on observed activity, this group understands the interconnected nature of identities and trust relationships in modern technology ecosystems and targets telecommunications, technology, IT services and support companies–to leverage their access from one organization to access the partner or supplier organizations. They have also been observed targeting government entities, manufacturing, higher education, energy, retailers, and healthcare.
Microsoft will continue to monitor DEV-0537 activity and implement protections for our customers. The current detections and advanced detections in place across our security products are detailed in the following sections.
Actor actions targeting Microsoft
This week, the actor made public claims that they had gained access to Microsoft and exfiltrated portions of source code. No customer code or data was involved in the observed activities. Our investigation has found a single account had been compromised, granting limited access. Our cybersecurity response teams quickly engaged to remediate the compromised account and prevent further activity. Microsoft does not rely on the secrecy of code as a security measure and viewing source code does not lead to elevation of risk. The tactics DEV-0537 used in this intrusion reflect the tactics and techniques discussed in this blog. Our team was already investigating the compromised account based on threat intelligence when the actor publicly disclosed their intrusion. This public disclosure escalated our action allowing our team to intervene and interrupt the actor mid-operation, limiting broader impact.

Is there a co-ordinated campaign to normalise heart disease?
How the world is falling over itself to ignore the elephant in the room
By Alice Jones, News Uncut columnist
AS IF the continuous stress of the last two years hasn't been enough for us all to bear, it seems the media is now on a mission to alert us to '101 ways we may be struck down with a heart attack'.
It's quite bizarre. I would fully understand anyone deciding it may be safer not to crawl out from under the duvet in the morning – that's if they've made it through the night, as apparently, "the average age of sudden death during sex is 38".
"Pass the defib darling" doesn't make for the most comfortable postcoital chat...
For those fortunate enough to make it safely downstairs to the breakfast table, beware the next hazard. If you're not feeling particularly resilient, best avoid the mail as "energy price rise may cause heart attacks and strokes" – perhaps put that envelope aside until you've swallowed down your Statins.
Meanwhile, let's hope the white stuff didn't appear overnight as "expert warn that shovelling snow can be a deadly way to discover underlying cardiovascular conditions..."
Dear goodness, is there any hope of getting to the office alive?
If you are brave enough to step outside – and assuming you survive the snow shovelling – beware the simple act of breathing as "air pollution triggers hundreds more heart attacks and strokes".
It's probably an idea to avoid the mainstream news too, which is regularly reporting alarming little ditties such as "hidden risk – urgent warning as 300,000 Brits living with stealth disease that could kill within five years" – enough to give the healthiest person palpitations.
And if you do make it through the day, keep an eye on your evening tipple because, wait for it, "risk of heart problems could be increased even if you drink less than NHS weekly units".
It's relentless. Heart stopping even.
Flippancy aside, while there has always been a scattering of media reports pertaining to heart disease, few could deny the current tsunami. As a well known precursor for heart disease is ongoing duress, the sheer barrage of warnings is in itself not healthy for people to ingest day in day out.
One might start to wonder if there's some sort of co-ordinated campaign to normalise heart disease, or at least create a situation where the underlying cause is nigh on impossible to identify? An inconvenient truth perhaps, or simply an avoidance of the elephant in the room…
And that elephant is large, arguably a small herd. Firstly, there is a true pandemic of obesity, hypertension and diabetes, causing millions of deaths globally every year. Our caring Governments – the people who shut us indoors, masked us up, closed the gyms, isolated the lonely and incited fear and panic the likes of which most of us have never known – also re-opened the fast food chains first.
They did little, if anything, to encourage care of our immune systems, suggest an uptake of Vitamin D, or advise the general public of the basic ways to combat a virus. These clever PR's in the infamous 'nudge unit' were fast enough to create smart warning slogans which featured at every turn – even a trip down the motorway still sees overhead warnings changed from 'check your brakes' to 'get your booster'. Might they not have released some positive messages too? It wasn't and still isn't to be.
Then there is the virus itself, which is said to have caused blood disorders and clotting. "While increasing heart disease has been prevalent and an observable trend over the last decade, the rise in cases last year is more concerning," says Dr Pillai. "Most healthcare professionals understand this increase to be a direct consequence of Covid-19, since the disease gravely impacts the patient's blood vessels," he says. (Times of India 06/21)
Tagging along at the end, is the baby elephant – the little one who is bound to grow. While they continue to push the vaccines apace into younger and younger people, knowledge and evidence of heart-related issues – now widely published and acknowledged – is hidden in plain sight.
Tragically, the fit and healthy seem almost more susceptible and reports of people collapsing on sports fields now runs into shocking figures. How handy, therefore, that stories are featuring in press outlets around the world giving dire warnings of everything from the sublime to the ridiculous being a potential heart attack trigger.
Choose your elephant. Just don't fall off and give yourself a cardiac arrest...

Because detailed from inside the a previous post, an abundance of latest research has given a look into usually secretive realm of pornography stars and you may actressespared to matched up neighborhood manage teams, both male and female artists said large thinking-admiration, before period of earliest intimate feel, better excitement out-of sex, and a much better amount of sex lovers. (The second in search of referred simply to intercourse couples outside what they do from inside the pornography.)
At the same time, the research into girls stated that actresses demonstrated on their own as more "spiritual" than simply feamales in the fresh manage classification. None of those knowledge advertised directly on the fresh new characteristics away from porno artists, but it's you can easily to take a position about any of it predicated on what is well known about how exactly personality is comparable to elements stated.
Sociosexuality makes reference to a person's desire to take part in intimate relations away from a loyal matchmaking as well as their interest in which have a great brand of intimate lovers
During my prior article, We contended one porno famous people are probably full of a characteristic called sociosexuality. This disagreement are according to research by the fact that one another men (Griffith, Mitchell, Hammond, Gu, Hart, 2012) and girls musicians and artists (Griffith, Mitchell, Hart, Adams, Gu, 2012) stated high variety of gender couples within their individual existence, separately off their motion picture works, including high critiques of pleasure out-of sex alone. A good amount of studies have checked-out just how sociosexuality and you may intimate promiscuity was associated with personality traits.
Folks of one another genders who will be full of social popularity, that's, people who are socially ambitious and you will cocky, generally have many sexual couples than others that happen to be far more submissive (). Dominating anyone do not be seemingly bashful from the seeking out sexual lovers, whereas submissive some body get await other people to look for them away.
Such as for instance, some body full of sociosexuality tend to rates by themselves low in this new faculties from honesty, humility, and agreeableness (Bourdage, Lee, Ashton, Perry, 2007)
A good amount of research has and connected highest sociosexuality and achieving 1000s of intimate people to certain antisocial characteristics in the both men and women. As well, sociosexuality was also related to a small grouping of traits known collectively just like the https://datingranking.net/de/gelegenheitssex/ "black triad," specifically psychopathy, Machiavellianism, and you may narcissism (Jonason, Li, Webster, Schmitt, 2009).
Briefly, psychopathy refers to the willingness so you're able to break the brand new liberties from others, Machiavellianism on the willingness to govern and make use of others, and you may narcissism in order to an expensive sense of your own importance and you can quality. Such antisocial characteristics would-be associated with sociosexuality because individuals high throughout these faculties may have a greedy thoughts to the gender combined which have a determination in order to deceive, flatter, and you can cajole other people on the which have sexual interactions.
The fresh new results talked about to date, if the appropriate so you're able to porno famous people, would appear in order to indicate a tremendously unflattering portrait of them some body while the cool and antisocial in general. Although not, almost every other browse suggests that there may be various other, more enjoyable face which could and additionally apply.
A study towards the social appearance shows that folks who are often high or very low regarding feature out-of social enthusiasm are apt to have a whole lot more sexual couples than people of mediocre enthusiasm (). That's, intimately promiscuous anybody were possibly most warm otherwise really cooler in how it relate genuinely to other people. The fresh article authors for the study debated one intimate promiscuity have various other private significance depending on how enjoying otherwise cooler a person was.
Cooler people could see gender just like the a greedy work where he's got little regard because of their partners' thoughts. They might features numerous intimate partners as a means out of to stop relationship, possibly off anxiety about mistreatment or getting rejected. Loving anybody may have an even more compassionate look at intimate correspondence as well as want to display like, intimacy, and pleasure with many different someone. Actually, individuals in this studies who had the most sexual lovers combined both higher desire otherwise reduced love with a high dominance. It enhances the chance you to definitely pornography superstars in addition to you are going to slip (basically) on one or two interpersonal brands: a warm, extraverted types of and you may a cold, pompous method of. Coldness was with the dark triad, and so the self-centered antisocial character traits associated with sociosexuality is alot more characteristic of cool in lieu of enjoying musicians.

According to Mikhalkov, he was forced to make an official statement about his state of health by "the amount of unthinkable, little-relevant information" about him in the media and social networks.
"I want to say that for now I remain in the hospital, I continue to undergo examinations and receive the necessary treatment", - Mikhalkov said.
On the eve of the media, citing a representative of the capital's hospital, reported that the 77-year-old director, the head of the Union of Cinematographers of Russia, is in intensive care.
Earlier it became known that Mikhalkov was admitted to the hospital on January 5.
As Kommersant notes, the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov told reporters on January 10 that Vladimir Putin "empathizes" with the director and wishes him a speedy recovery.
Previously, Mikhalkov was Putin's confidant during the presidential election campaign.

The Business of Fashion
Agenda-setting intelligence, analysis and advice for the global fashion community.
Agenda-setting intelligence, analysis and advice for the global fashion community.
The fourth session of VOICES, BoF's annual gathering for big thinkers, set its sights squarely on the future: the future of technology, the future of cities, the future of travel, the future of work, the future of independent retail and the future of gender-free fashion. Speakers included futurists Chris Sanderson and Martin Raymond, Charter chief executive Kevin J. Delaney, mental health advocate Simone Whitehouse, Skift founder Rafat Ali, performance artist and activist Alok Vaid-Menon and designer Harris Reed.
'The Transformative Twenties'
A faster pace of technological, climatic and demographic change are among the forces that will require individuals and companies to adapt rapidly to what futurists Martin Raymond and Christopher Sanderson called the "Transformative Twenties"
"People who think Covid is the only shock we'll deal with in this decade are either delusional or misinformed," Sanderson said.
Individuals are demanding more sustainable, equitable, decentralised societies, and businesses will have to become more flexible and agile to keep up with the pace of change, especially amid exploding innovation in the metaverse, he added.
"When you are building for the metaverse, build different and build better," Raymond said. "It shouldn't be the new normal, but the new extraordinary."
The future of work
Since the pandemic, many have reevaluated their relationship with work, with large numbers of people leaving their jobs in what's been dubbed the "Great Resignation."
Workers aren't simply opting for greater flexibility after the pandemic freed them from the confines of traditional office life. They are placing increased importance on whether the values of their employers align with their own on a host of social issues, according to Kevin Delaney, co-founder of Quartz and now the CEO of the workplace consultancy Charter.
Organisations need to challenge old structures like the five-day work-week. "A four-day work week is something we should all be considering," Delaney said. "Firms are finding that it works for them. Employees are less burnt out, and they get as much done in four days as five."
The current climate calls for empathetic and engaging managers who sincerely care about the well-being of employees and act as positive role models by prioritising their own wellness through simple gestures like taking breaks, working healthy hours and disconnecting for vacation.
"This is a break from the traditional leader who is hard-charging and focused on performance," Delaney said.
The adoption of gruelling working patterns triggered by economic pressures and lengthy lockdowns is one of the most worrying effects of the coronavirus pandemic, often resulting in burnout and other forms of poor mental health.
Simon Whitehouse, a mental health advocate and CEO of the consultancy Eco-Age, gave a tearful account of he and his brother's struggles to maintain mental health. He described a private struggle with burnout and depression — which he often kept hidden at work — as like being padlocked in a refrigerator and kicked by a giant into outer space.
"When we throw around mental health and statistics around the subject, I think it's very, very important to realise we're talking about human beings," Whitehouse said.
Earlier this year, Whitehouse founded EBIT — short for "Enjoy Being in Transition" — the first brand provoking dialogue on mental health in fashion, music and art.
The future of travel
The pandemic pummelled the travel sector, which sent international arrivals plunging by 73 percent globally in 2020, according to the World Tourism Organisation. The sector continued to suffer this year, with international arrivals in Europe between January and May down 85 percent on 2019 levels.
Rafat Ali, founder of travel industry publication Skift, spoke about how continued disruptions to business travel and rising backlash to the climate impact of tourism are reshaping the sector, which is deeply intertwined with fashion sales. Services like buy-now-pay-later and the resurgence of domestic tourism are other forces at play, he added.
The future of independent retail
Retail shutdowns during the pandemic have been followed by supply chain backups this year, meaning "revenge spending" collided with continued coronavirus disruptions to production and logistics.
Shopify, the e-commerce and point-of-sale technology provider for many independent retailers, shared its birds-eye view of how small and medium-sized businesses are coping with the challenge today.
While data from the wider market, particularly big box stores, showed roughly flat sales for key Black Friday shopping, Shopify says the volume of transactions for merchants using their system was up significantly. The platform registered a 21 percent sales increase over 2020 and more than double 2019 levels, president Harley Finkelstein said.
"We didn't see massive declines in sales based on supply chain issues," Finkelstein said.
Higher margins than big box stores in many cases have given independent retailers more cushion to respond quickly to supply chain and logistical challenges. The company saw 26 percent growth in merchants adopting warehouse management apps.
Other changes could be seen: independent merchants say their clients start shopping earlier this year than ever, and they shopped more fluidly than ever across online and brick-and-mortar channels. "Brick and mortar stores are becoming like fulfilment centres, while online stores can be like catalogues," Finkelstein said.
Social shopping is surging too, with more than one third of young customers having bought products on social media. "This is actually happening," Finkelstein said.
The future of gender-free fashion
Designer Harris Reed is one of the industry's brightest rising stars. After breakout moments dressing Harry Styles, he dressed Iman for this year's Met Gala, scored a major profile in The New Yorker and made a powerful fashion week debut at London's Serpentine Gallery, cementing awareness of his gender-fluid designs.
Reed wants to see brands and retailers stop dividing selling spaces into men's and women's, both online and off. "It's a fashion structure where it's not about genders," Reed explained.
"When it's done right it really works," he said, citing Black Friday sales of over $1.3 million for his partnership with jewellery brand Missoma. "That was about them really believing in me. That was building a world, not just signing my name on a collaboration."
But while many fashion companies want to be seen working with gender non-binary people, few are baking their gender-free principles into their businesses beyond one-off collaborations.
"Companies want the aesthetics of LGBT communities but don't really care about our lives. We're always the moodboard," said Alok Vaid-Menon, a writer, performer and activist who has urged the industry to 'de-gender' itself and reframe its definition of beauty. Brands are creating fashion for the metaverse, but still say they can't add gender-free options to their websites, he said. "It's crazy."

By Martin Patience — From BBC News
The vast wetlands of the Niger Delta region are home to Nigeria's vast oil resources, but are once again at the centre of a security crisis.
The militants or the "boys" are back in the creeks, destroying pipelines, attacking oil installations, and kidnapping workers.
The violence has slashed Nigeria's oil production by a third.
As we snake our way through the mangrove swamps in a speedboat we are entering a world where outsiders are no longer welcome.
With pipelines and a huge oil export terminal on the horizon, every so often we flash by a fishing community with its wooden huts clustered close to rickety, wooden pier.
The chaos here is dealing a serious blow to the Nigerian government who are dependent upon oil sales for most of its revenues. It has also helped push up the global oil price to almost $50 (£38) a barrel.
The renewed militancy was triggered late last year by the cash-strapped government's decision to cancel lucrative security contracts and reduce the budget to pay former militants by 70% .
The payments were part of an amnesty programme agreed upon in 2009 that largely ended the previous bout of militancy, which had crippled the oil industry a decade ago.
As part of the agreement, tens of thousands of militants gave up their arms in return for a monthly stipend worth around $400 at the time and the opportunity to retrain as divers, welders and boat builders at colleges overseas.

Now with the payments drying up, many fighters with a grievance and a gun feel they have little to lose.

Virat Kohli Slams 21st ODI Hundred in India's Triumph Against Sri Lanka
Virat Kohli (139 not out) led from the front as India completed a 5-0 series whitewash over Sri Lanka in Ranchi on Sunday.
- NDTVSports
- Updated: November 16, 2014 10:05 PM IST
Virat Kohli slammed his 21st ODI hundred (139 not out) as India defeated Sri Lanka by three wickets to seal a 5-0 whitewash, on Sunday. (Scorecard | Highlights)
Kohli cracked his fourth ODI ton of the year and the second in seven matches. The 25-year-old, who is the fastest to 6000 ODI runs, also became the second man to breach the 1000 run mark (after Sri Lankan captain Angelo Mathews) in the course of his 126-ball ton, studded with 12 fours and three sixes.
T 1677 -Loved Virat Kohli's remark before this game : " We are going to be ruthless " .. strong determined confident ! This is young India !
- Amitabh Bachchan (@SrBachchan) November 16, 2014
Chasing a competitive target, India were jolted early when Mathews removed openers Ajinkya Rahane and Rohit Sharma. Tottering at 14/2, the hosts looked vulnerable for the first time in a series they have dominated ruthlessly. (Angelo Mathews stands tall amid ruins)
India 5-0, Srikant 2-0, Saina 2-0, Kerala Blasters 1-0. Could not have asked for a better day.
- sachin tendulkar (@sachin_rt) November 16, 2014
Kohli, who pushed himself down to number four for the ODIs in Ranchi, got off the mark with a smashing boundary off his counterpart, Mathews. With fellow batsmen doing bulk of the scoring in the series, he may not have had much to do in the previous matches. Kohli had watched Rayudu smash his maiden international hundred and applauded from the stands as Rohit became the first batsman to score two double hundreds in ODIs. The final contest though was different as he combined patience with aggression to script a well-controlled innings.
One of the better ODI innings you'll see from @imVkohli Proper batting from a proper batsman.
- Alec Stewart (@StewieCricket) November 16, 2014
The fifth ODI presented Kohli the kind of situation he loves. India were chasing a big target and they had lost two men in supreme form. Rayudu had walked in at number three and the onus was on Kohli to drop anchor around an inexperienced line-up. With Mathews' bowlers pitching in all the wrong areas, Kohli was never really made to work hard for his runs.
Kohli has been in great form this year. He is now the second highest scorer in 2014 (after Mathews) and his last seven innings reads 127 (vs West Indies), 22, 49, 53, 66 and 139* in Ranchi on Sunday. The drives, pulls and shots square of the wicket were played with generous abundance.
Kohli like always, did not let the spinners settle in and took full toll on Tillekaratne Dilshan, whose expensive overs poured cold water on the Sri Lankan plans.
Kohli's form and confidence will be a huge boost for India ahead of the Australia tour and the World Cup to follow.

Another ideal spot for a security camera is facing your driveway, according to Andrea Harvey, a research and communications specialist for asecurelife. com. It's not uncommon for people to steal cars right out of owners' driveways. In fact, Knight says the driveway and nearby street are the areas most people forget to cover with security cameras. "Most criminals won't park too far away," Knight says. "Having a high resolution camera that can reliably see your driveway and at least a little bit of the street in front of your house is a game changer in many suspect identification attempts.

Cats can be particularly prone to dental issues, especially as they age. While there are no root or main causes for cats and poor oral health, the fact that cats are mainly carnivorous in nature and don't chew on bone and vegetation to help clean their teeth may have something to do with why your cat may have oral health issues.
When your cat shows signs of tooth decay or other issues with their oral health, take them to a cat dentist. This is a dental professional who will ensure your cat has the best health and will give them the right diagnosis to treat not just their oral concerns, but their overall pain as well. It can be very painful for a cat to have an infected tooth or swelling and inflammation, and they cannot tell you what ails them.
Here are signs that you should look for a cat dentist for your aging feline.
Your cat is losing weight and smells odd
If your older cat is losing weight rapidly and smells really bad around their face, they may have mouth ulcers or one or more abscessed teeth. What is interesting about cats is if a tooth is infected, their bodies may start to attack their teeth, basically rendering them even more rotten as a result. Your cat dentist can explain more of this to you and can help diagnose your feline to see exactly what is causing them to stink and lose weight.
Aging cats lose weight naturally as well because their body mass changes and they lose muscle tone. This is why it's all the more important to see a cat dentist.
Your cat is not eating or drinking and is drooling
It's very important that your aging cat eats and drinks normally. If they don't and they are also drooling, it likely means they have a lot of oral health pain or they have ingested something they shouldn't have. If your cat can also not breathe or shows other signs of distress, get them to the vet right away. From there, your cat can be referred to a cat dentist who can further diagnose them and bring them back to better health and vitality.
Your aging cat deserves to age with grace and dignity, free of pain, and with healthy teeth. Your local cat dentist can help keep your cat's oral health going strong, which can give them a better quality of life as they age.
Contact a local cat dentist to learn more.
Whether you have had a pet cat for years or you just bought a new fish tank filled with fish for your children, you likely enjoy learning more about your favorite animals and how you can help keep them in good health. We created this website to help pet owners like you learn more about their beloved pets healthcare needs. We plan to post the answers to many of your pet health-related questions on this website, such as how to choose the right food for your fish, how to encourage your indoor cat to exercise when they need to lose a pound or two, and how to know when your dog's strange behavior may signal an illness. If you cannot find the answers to your pet health questions here, we hope you can use our resources to find the answers elsewhere.

How good they look together! 🐖❤🐶
When Winnie's owners took him to Charlotte's Freedom Farm for some reason, the staff found out that besides having leg problems, his lungs and heart were also affected.
The skilled vets had to limit his activities, because playing with other dogs would be dangerous for him. He needed to stay under the strong care of the caring workers.
After a few days, Wilma, a sweet pig was brought to the shelter with a lot of injuries. The adorable creature showed a very exciting attitude towards Winnie and they were connected to each other at once.
This duo began to share a strong bond, which surprised the whole staff. They became inseparable just from the first day of their meeting.
Although they never harmed each other and played carefully, the staff was keeping a watchful eye on them.
They continue to enjoy their time together and feel safe and protected next to each other. They are ready to support and comfort each other in every situation.
Although there are other animals around them, they have chosen each other as a friend for life and don't pay attention to others. They love each other and enjoy having time together.
