California Invasive Species Action Week (June 1-9, 2019)
California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
The goals of the California Invasive Species Action Week (CISAW) are to increase public awareness of invasive species issues and promote public participation in the fight against California's invasive species and their impacts on our natural resources.
Prevention is the most effective strategy in managing invasive species. However, hundreds of invasive plants and animals have already established in California and are rapidly spreading each year. These invaders are negatively impacting our waters, our native plants and animals (some of them rare, threatened, or endangered), our agriculture, our health, our economy, and our favorite recreational places. Help us celebrate California's Invasive Species Action Week, and more importantly, help stop the spread of invasive species, by volunteering to take action.
Governor Gordon Launches Wyoming Invasive Species Initiative (Oct 1, 2019)
State of Wyoming.
Reflecting his goal of making Wyoming a national leader in the battle against invasive species, Governor Mark Gordon announced today he has launched an initiative to address terrestrial invasive plants in the state. The initiative will be comprised of two teams -- a Policy Team and a Technical Team, each comprised of local, state and federal government representatives, private citizens representing industry and agricultural groups, as well as scientists and practitioners. The two teams will work cooperatively to develop recommendations for the Governor in the context of a large-scale strategy for invasive species management. Terrestrial invasive species represent a significant threat to Wyoming's forests, rangelands and agricultural lands with varying levels of impact.
Pennsylvania Launches Effort to Stop the Spread of Invasive Species at State Park Lakes (May 15, 2019)
Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.
Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Secretary Cindy Adams Dunn announced that the department is launching an effort at nine state parks this summer to help prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species, and get boaters involved in invasive species detection. "Boats, motors, and trailers have ideal hiding spots where species may attach, and be transported to new locations," Dunn said. "Boaters must be involved in helping us protect state park waters from invaders, to benefit our environment and avoid very costly measures to treat lakes once these non-native species take hold." Starting this week, DCNR staff will be doing voluntary boat and trailer checks at boat launches on park lakes, handing out informational brochures and demonstrating how to do an inspection.
Stop Aquatic Invaders With Pennsylvania Sea Grant's New App – Download It Today! (Dec 13, 2019)
Aquatic invasive species (AIS) pose a significant threat to Pennsylvania's economy, freshwater resources, and native aquatic species. Pennsylvania Sea Grant announces 'there's an app for that' with the launch of "PA AIS," a new, easy-to-use smart phone application. The "PA AIS" app is now available in the Apple App Store, with an Android version anticipated. The "PA AIS" app can be used in airplane mode or in areas outside of coverage, making it ideal for use in the field. Users can identify AIS and submit a report to the state AIS coordinator, including the location, severity, and photos of the suspected infestation. Illustrations help users learn more about each species to ensure accurate identification in the field. Prevention tips help educate freshwater enthusiasts such as anglers and boaters about the steps they can take to properly clean gear and ensure that AIS are not transported from one water body to another.
USDA Confirms Virulent Newcastle Disease in a Commercial Chicken Flock in California (Dec 18, 2018)
USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) confirmed the presence of virulent Newcastle disease in a commercial chicken flock in Riverside County, California. This finding is part of an outbreak in southern California that began in May 2018 in backyard exhibition birds. This is the first case in commercial poultry since 2003.
Virulent Newcastle disease is not a food safety concern. No human cases of Newcastle disease have ever occurred from eating poultry products.
USDA Confirms Virulent Newcastle Disease in Pet Chickens in Arizona; Not a Food Safety Concern (Apr 5, 2019)
The United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) confirmed the presence of virulent Newcastle disease in a small flock of pet chickens in Coconino County, Arizona. This is the first case of virulent Newcastle disease in Arizona. This case is believed to be connected to the current outbreak of virulent Newcastle disease in California, as tests show the virus is almost identical to the virus causing disease in California. Virulent Newcastle disease is not a food safety concern. No human cases of Newcastle disease have ever occurred from eating poultry products. In addition to practicing good biosecurity, all bird owners should report sick birds or unusual bird deaths to their veterinarian or to State veterinary officials. Additional information on biosecurity for all poultry flocks can be found at www.aphis.usda.gov/animalhealth/defendtheflock.
USDA Shifts Emergency Funds to Address Virulent Newcastle Disease in California (Mar 22, 2019)
Secretary Perdue is making available an additional $45 million to the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) and its partners to address the ongoing virulent Newcastle disease (vND) outbreak in southern California. This funding will allow APHIS and the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) to strengthen their joint efforts to stop the spread of this disease and prevent it from affecting additional commercial flocks. vND has been confirmed in more than 435 backyard flocks since May 2018. It was also confirmed in four commercial flocks in December 2018 and January 2019.

Starting on the 1st of January 2017, the project has a duration of 2,5 years and is supported by Horizon 2020, the EU Framework Program for Research and Innovation.
In each of the events, ideas will be generated and developed through online and onsite meetings and workshops. With support from INNOLABS, SMEs will join up with SMEs from other sectors and/or countries to collaborate in developing these ideas further. Those collaborations with the best ideas will be selected to develop a concept prototype and receive 30,000€ in direct support funding.
In addition, knowledge and experience of project partners, consultants and external experts will help teams to boost their performance through innovation services valued up to 20,000€ (10,000€ for finalist projects).
We foresee three INNOLABS hackathons during the project's lifetime: the 1st of these will be co-located with the 1st INNOLABS Event, 2nd in M12 and the final one in M24. They will serve (especially the two first) to publicly display new technologies, to explore commonalities and differences for SMEs active in the ICT, Bio, Health and Medicine industries and, to provide the opportunity for teams to get to know each other and work together in joint idea creation and development.
To increase the appeal of the events and foster participation, several small prizes (Up to 36.000€ per event) will be awarded to the most promising ideas and projects in each of the Contest Ideas and Hackathons (3 prizes of 17.500€, 12.500€ and 6.000€ per event) and they will be also promoted through INNOLABS dissemination channels.
Partner clusters will host three boot camps for young innovators in April 2018. Working in small teams, students will be taken through a creative thinking process that generates original ideas for health innovations. These ideas will then be pitched to local SMEs from ICT, Bio, Health and Medicine. Those student teams with appealing ideas will be adopted by SMEs who will support the technical development - including piloting - of the idea in partnership with the students and the student's host university/college during 2018. This will include financial support by a SME for their student/student team to attend relevant INNOLABS and Cluster events.
Each student/SME collaboration that are able to successfully develop the idea further in 2018 will then have an opportunity to present it to a panel of INNOLABS partners, peers and potential investors in early 2019. The two best ideas generated by student/SME collaborations will have 25,000€ awarded to the 'host' SME for further investment in the idea to help bring it closer to market. However, we believe that other developed ideas will also be of interest to potential investors.
INNOLABS final workshop will showcase its results, the most significant projects, present the INNOLABS White Book with learning from the project for public policy makers and private investors/SMEs with interest in crossover collaborations and, reveal commitments that ensure the continuing impact of the platforms, resources and collaborations generated by the project.
As part of this event, there will be a ceremony in which the final prize of 50,000€ will be awarded to the best performing SME selected from among all those previously awarded support by INNOLABS. To this end, an independent jury will have assessed all candidatures and ranked them based on several criteria and merits, especially based on impact, continuity and technical aspects.
The European Commission has granted INNovative LABS (INNOLABS) project with €5 million with the objective to deliver new products and services for healthcare building upon the capacity from European SMEs belonging to the fields of ICT, Health, BIO and Medicine.

Q: Select of form can not change value by click on, when I use jquery on change Select of form can not change right value by clicks, when I use jquery on change.
Although I tested (by alert), value on select option is correct.
But because it can not click, so it can not give correct value. Especially in the middle element
See my select form which is not able to click correctly
Do you have any experience about select options in jquery which is wrong by this error?
This is code make this error:
If I give wrong value for "sample_id" variable, the select form will be normal
But select will error when this variable is correct.
 $("#sample").on("change", function(){
     var sample = $(this).children("option:selected").val();

...
    var sample_id = sample.split(" ")[sample.split(" ").length - 1]; //Error looks like from this line

    var i = 0;
    for (i = 1; i <= count_sample; i++) {
        var data_i = data[i - 1];
        var id = data_i.id;

        if (id == sample_id) {
            var sample_order = i - 1;
            break;
        };
    };

    var datai = data[sample_order];

Structure of Zipper
Posted: 23/07/2018 | Accessories
The construction of Zipper: Zippers can be divided into three major parts:
Zipper Tape:
It is one kind of fabric usually made of polyester, but depending on use, synthetic fiber tape, vinyl tape and cotton tape are also available.
Slider:
It can be metal, plastic or wooden part of zipper which joins or separates the elements when the zipper is opened or closed. Various types of sliders are available depending on use.
The teeth, also known as elements, are the parts on each side of a zipper that mesh, or engage, with each other when passed through the slider. When the left and the right side teeth are engaged they are called chain.
CHAIN: The continuous piece that is formed when both halves of a zipper are meshed together.
CHAIN SIZE: Refers to the specific gauge of the chain, i.e., size of the teeth.
TEETH: The individual elements that make up the chain.
SLIDER: The device that moves up and down the chain to open or close the zipper.
PULL TAB: The part of the slider that you hold to move the slider up or down.
MATERIAL: Refers to the type of chain that is used in the construction of the zipper, such as, metal chain, molded plastic chain or coil (nylon) chain.
TAPE: The fabric part of the zipper.
TAPE WIDTH: Refers to the width of the fabric on one side only, of the zipper chain.
TAPE ENDS: The fabric part of the zipper, that extends beyond the teeth, at the top and /or bottom of the chain.
STYLE: Refers to the manner in which the zipper is assembled for a particular application.
TOP STOP: Two devices affixed to the bottom end of a zipper, to prevent the slider from coming off the chain.
BOTTOM STOP A device affixed to the bottom end of a zipper, to prevent further movement of the half of the zipper from separating.
BRIDGE STOP: A device similar to a bottom stop, used at the top and of a zipper to prevent each half of the zipper from separating.
PIN: A device used on a separating (jacket type) zipper whose function is to allow the joining of the two zipper halves.
BOX: A device used on a separating (jacket type) zipper whose function is to correctly align the pin, to begin the joining of the zipper halves.
HEAT SEAL PATCH: The cotton and nylon laminated material fused to the bottom end of a separating zipper, used to reinforce the type.
HEAT-SEALABLE ZIPPERS (WELDABLE LAMINATED ZIPPERS): Any zipper that has a strip of plastic fused to each half of the zipper tape to allow a manufacturer to electronically "weld" the zipper onto the garment or item that is being manufactured, without the need of sewing or stitching.
CONTINUOUS CHAIN: Any material or size of zipper chain that is continuously spooled without sliders or any other components. Typically used by fabricators on a cut-as-need basis.
CUT-TO-LENGTH ZIPPERS: (Finished Zippers) Any zipper that is finished to a specific length, with all necessary components attached.
Different Types of Textile Printing Processes
What is the Digital Textile Printing?
How to choose the right printing method on garment?
What is Fabric Weight? What does Fabric weight tell?
Fabric Color Approval Procedure?
Zipper Tape: It is one kind of fabric usually made of polyester, but depending on use, synthetic fiber tape, vinyl tape and cotton tape are also available.

Q: Sharing primitive data among methods? Say we have a public method "method," which uses private "subMethod1" and private "subMethod2" in its calculation.  These subMethods serve no other purpose than to break down "method" into more readable, encapsulated sub-parts, and to avoid code duplication within method.
We need each of these sub methods to operate on 2 or more primitive data types, which are local variables defined at the top of method.  We cannot pass them into the sub methods by reference, since java does not allow primitives to be passed by reference.
So our solution is to refactor, and change the local variables defined at the top of method to member variables, which can of course be read and written by both method and its sub-methods.  The problem is that now we have member variables that don't really exist to store object state, but only exist, effectively, during the execution of method.  Of course, in actuality they exist throughout the whole lifetime of the object, but they are only ever used during the execution of method, and they could vanish at other times without affecting the behavior of the object at all (keep in mind that method initializes the members to default values at the beginning of its method body).
Well, you say, just wrap the primitives in objects, keep them local within method, then have "method" pass those objects to its submethods, where they will be able to change its value since it was passed by reference as all objects are.  The problem is that "method" is used inside a simulation loop, where it will be run millions of times.  The object wrappers slow things down noticeably, and performance is key here.
So my question is: Is there any solution that will give me the same performance as my ugly "use members to share primitive data between methods" solution, but will also have good OO design?  Would an inner class wrapping the method, sub-methods, and primitive data be appropriate?
Thanks,
Jonah
EDIT: Here is a cooked up code sample whose sole purpose is demonstrate the slowdown caused by using object wrappers, as described above:
public class TestSharedMembers {

protected int m17Multiples;
protected int m23Multiples;

public int methodPrimitive(int i) {

    m17Multiples = 0;
    m23Multiples = 0;

    calc17Primitive(i);
    calc23Primitive(i);

    return m17Multiples + m23Multiples;
}

private void calc17Primitive(int i) {
    if (i % 17 == 0)
        m17Multiples++;
}
private void calc23Primitive(int i) {
    if (i % 23 == 0)
        m23Multiples++;
}

/// using object wrappers
class IntWrapper {
    private int mInt;
    public IntWrapper(int i) {
        mInt = i;
    }
    public int getInt() {

    }
    public void increment() {
        mInt++;
    }
}

    IntWrapper o17 = new IntWrapper(0);
    IntWrapper o23 = new IntWrapper(0);

    calc17Object(i, o17);
    calc23Object(i, o23);

    return o17.getInt() + o23.getInt();
}

private void calc17Object(int i, IntWrapper o) {
    if (i % 17 == 0)
        o.increment();
}
private void calc23Object(int i, IntWrapper o) {
    if (i % 23 == 0)
        o.increment();
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
    TestSharedMembers t = new TestSharedMembers();
    final int NUM_ITERS = 20000000;

    double start = System.currentTimeMillis();
    int total = 0;
    for (int i=0; i<NUM_ITERS; i++) {
        total += t.methodPrimitive(i);
    }
    double stop = System.currentTimeMillis();
    System.out.println(total);
    System.out.println(stop - start);

    start = System.currentTimeMillis();
    total = 0;
    for (int i=0; i<NUM_ITERS; i++) {

A: I would look at creating a nested type which encapsulates all these currently-local variables, yes. Whether you then move the submethods into that type, or just keep the methods where they are and pass around a reference to an instance of this state class to the helper methods is up to you. You may find it slightly simpler to unit test the submethods if they're declared within the state class, but obviously the two solutions are really equivalent.
Do the submethods also need to access state in the existing class? If so, I'd probably keep the submethods in the existing class - I suspect that will keep the code clearer. I'm not a fan of true "inner" classes (with an implicit reference to the outer class) - I generally make my nested classes static, and do everything explicitly.
(Note that "objects are passed by reference" is a mis-statement of what happens in Java. The reality is that references are passed by value, which is subtly different. Java doesn't have any pass-by-reference semantics.)

A: Rather than wrapping individual primitives or adding the primitives as fields in the class the method is in, could you instead make this method itself an object with primitive fields?
If the class where you currently have method() defined is Foo, rather than adding the primitives it uses to Foo make another class (an inner class, perhaps) FooMethod and, where you would have called method() before, do new FooMethod().method() instead. The primitive fields in FooMethod will then effectively be local variables since the FooMethod object is free to be GCed once the method call is finished.

A: public class ShareLocal {

private final static class methods
{

    private int sharedInt;
    public void method(int init)
    {
    sharedInt=init;
    ...
    }
    private void meth1()
    {
    ...
    }
    private void meth2()
    {
    ...
    }
}
private ShareLocal.methods methodCall=new ShareLocal.methods();
void simulationLoop()
{
for(int i=0;i<10;i++)
  methodCall.method(i);
}

}

I think the inner class as you mentioned is the best way.

A: If you really regard a performance loss due to a wrapper object as a concern, then I would recommend not to extract the said 2 submethods. Large methods are bad smell, but if you need it for a simulation then "beautiful" object-oriented design might be 2nd priority.
Anyway, don't save intermediary state in member variables. First, because what you've already mentioned, second, because it also slows down your code, and third, because if you ever plan to have multiple threads execute the methods, you're lost with race conditions.

A: Perhaps you could explain again why it is so important to you to have the fields vanish? If performance is as important as you say, why add this as a "requirement"?  It appears you already have a solution which avoids the cost of object creation.
If you want a more optimial solution, use arguments and return values.
public class TestSharedMembers {
  public int methodPrimitive(int i) {
    return calc17Primitive(i) + calc23Primitive(i);
  }
  private int calc17Primitive(int i) {
    return i % 17 == 0 ? 1 : 0;
  }
  private void calc23Primitive(int i) {
    return i % 23 == 0? 1 : 0;
  }
}

Aegisthus In The Odyssey
In the opening pages of Book I of "The Odyssey" written by Homer and translated by Robert Fagles, the gods are conversing in assembly regarding the death of "handsome" Aegisthus.

Instead, the gods recall whether or not they from…

Polyphemus In The Odyssey
Classical Greek literature, such as Homer's The Iliad and The Odyssey, embodies heroic ideals while focusing on virtues like honor, bravery, and vengeance. Alternatively, Hellenistic Greek literature, such as Theocritus, concentrates on emotional values of humans and gods. A specific case can be identified in the Cyclops Polyphemus. Homer depicts Polythemus as a savage monster who feasts on Odysseus's men, whereas Theocritus illustrates him as a sentimental Cyclops in love with the nymph Galatea…

Precocity In The Odyssey
concoction or hard truth specifically in regards to there ideals on valor, staunchness, and precocity.

Selfishness In The Odyssey
Many people value love, as it makes them feel wanted and cared for, something that all humans crave at some point. However, with love comes other less than admirable traits like selfishness or hatred. One of the minor goddesses in The Odyssey, Calypso, embodies love in every sense of the word. She expresses her love for Odysseus by caring for him and offering him immortality. However, her strong devotion to him leads to a furious outburst and an unwillingness to release her lover. Calypso is…
Themes In The Odyssey
The Odyssey is unique in that unlike most other narratives, which present only one possibility for a sequence of events, it provides alternative ways to interpret a scene or major plot point. These possibilities may be revealed subtly, through hints and careful word choice and details, or explicitly, with seemingly extraneous narratives that could fill almost an entire chapter. Such capaciousness in the narrative allows Homer to expand upon the basic themes present in the poem and provide a…
