Microbes contaminate our air and water. They cause infectious and communicable diseases. Much of the work in public health involves identifying these microbes and finding ways to prevent their adverse effect on society.
"Microbiology: An Introduction" provides a very brief introduction to microbiology. After taking this course, the learner will have a general understanding of cell biology and a better understanding of the five microbial groups that are of concern to the public health practitioner: bacteria, fungi, protozoa, helminths (worms), and viruses. The course may be used as either a refresher for people with backgrounds in microbiology or as a primer for public health professionals with little background in the subject.
This course is a prerequisite for "Microbiology and Communicable Disease," a module of the Basic Environmental Health Program (BEHP) required for local health department sanitarians and public health technicians working in New York State.
Describe the basic characteristics of these live microbial groups: bacteria, fungi, protozoa, helminthes and viruses.
Describe the public health significance of the five microbial groups.


These geometric beauties are made in our very own production house. They were displayed at the Address Hotel Dubai Marina lobby and then again for Banyan Tree Al Wadi Ras Al Khaima last week for their lobby during the modern art exhibit. These are a very apt display of how we are constantly pushing boundaries and coming up with new ideas. We don't just sell flowers for a living; we breathe flowers.
We define modern, as what is next but not necessarily futuristic. We have to research what is most popular and make it work for today. The current creative trends are going back to the artisanal way. When we look around us, we see the sky, the water and greenery. These are all places where you can have peace. In our world today, there is a need to go to somewhere where there is less information. Less makes you feel like you have more time. In our creations, we strive to have an element that you have not seen before. That reflects how we want our brand to be right now.
After these life size terrariums come out of the warehouse, Arnel starts to design the landscape. He lines the terrariums with potting soil, some pebbles and charcoal. He says they always start with shorter plants with interestingly shaped leaves in darker and more dramatic colors and works his way up in layers to the orchids and the more vibrant colors. The orchids need a separate kind of soil so they usually remain potted and are barely ever taken out of the pot. They pots are concealed very well with moss and the thicket of the landscape. Visually we try to create a pyramid shape with these plants so each one needs to be placed very strategically. We have to be very careful and not add too much moss as that can get smelly sometimes. The challenge is to keep the plants from reaching too far above the top of terrariums. Everything is watered with misty spray at the end and the walls of the terrarium are cleaned thoroughly.

Blumenthal joins call for presidential nominees to release tax returns
Christine Stuart CTnewsjunkie
Dec. 5, 2016 Updated: Aug. 26, 2017 8:43 p.m.
U.S. Sen. Richard BlumenthalPHOTO BY CHRISTINE STUART - CTNEWSJUNKIE
U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal said he's calling upon all of President-elect Donald Trump's cabinet nominees to release their tax returns to the Congressional committees that will oversee their nominations.
Blumenthal's request comes after his Democratic colleagues in the U.S. Senate made a similar request last week. Following that request, the Trump transition team — in a memo obtained by The Associated Press — called it a "PR stunt with zero precedent designed to arm opposition researchers."
Connecticut Republican Party Chairman JR Romano agreed. "There's no question that Dick Blumenthal likes to create news where there is none," Romano said.
But Blumenthal argued at a Legislative Office Building press conference in Hartford that the nominees to cabinet posts are all very successful. They are millionaires and in at least three cases they are billionaires. Some of them have ties to special interests and foreign governments, according to Blumenthal.
"The president-elect promised that he would drain the swamp. That he would increase the credibility and trust of the United States government," Blumenthal said. "The best way to ensure greater credibility and trust for his cabinet is to require full disclosure of their tax returns."
Blumenthal said already several of the committees require tax returns. The Senate committees on Budget, Finance and Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs require nominees to submit their tax returns.
Blumenthal said he's presuming the nominees have nothing to hide and should be more than willing to provide tax returns, even if it's not mandated.
Disclosure of tax returns derailed at least two of President Barack Obama's nominees back in 2009. Tom Daschle withdrew his name from consideration for secretary of health and human services when it was disclosed that he failed to pay $128,000 in taxes for using a friend's chauffeur or car service. Nancy Killefer, who was nominated that year to be chief White House performance officer, also pulled her name from consideration because of unpaid payroll taxes for a household employee.
Beyond cabinet positions, Blumenthal is hoping to encourage Trump himself to release his tax returns.

Aisling and the Whalecat
by John W. Sexton
Once, once, long ago, forty miles beyond the Great Skellig, was an island called the Skellig-of-the-heart. Very few could find exactly where it lay, and only the most skilled of sailors could land upon it. Some claimed it was made of fog, some that it was made of ice, some that it was made of glass, some that it was made of rain, and others swore it was made of light.
But those who had secured their boats to it swore that its shores were firm and could hold a thousand men. And on that Skellig-of-the-heart there lived a young girl. And in all the hundreds of years that men claimed to have met her it was said that she never aged a day. Ten years of age she stayed, for a thousand years.
And then one day she aged one day and the world was changed. And this is the story of that single day.
Once, once, long ago, on the Skellig-of-the-heart, there lived a girl called Aisling who was ten years of age. She had been that age for a thousand years for she lived on an island as soft as fog, as cold as ice, as clear as glass, as pure as rain, as fresh as light.
And then one day she took a walk to a part of the island where she had never been. And there on the edge of the northern cliffs was a sight she'd never seen. For on the clear, glassy beach, there rose a dark hill. The hill was covered in black grass and rose higher than she could see. Aisling started to climb. The black grass at her feet was soft and warm and the wind blew pathways through its depths. And through one of these paths she walked to the very top.
At the top of the black hill Aisling found two flat ponds of water. One pond was blue and one was green. In the blue pond there swam a large green fish and in the green pond there swam a large blue fish. As she looked into their shimmering waters the ponds grew large, and when she looked again they were small. Then larger the ponds became, then smaller; then larger, then smaller; then larger again, then smaller again.
Aisling had never seen a thing so strange; ponds that grew and then shrank. Aisling watched the green fish in the blue pond. When the fish swam deep the pond grew small, but when the fish came up for air the pond grew large. Then Aisling watched the blue fish in the green pond. Likewise, when the fish swam deep the pond grew small, but when the fish came up for air the pond grew large.
Then Aisling heard a sound like howling wind, but a howling wind far greater than the gentle wind that blew pathways through the black grass at her feet. Curious, she began to walk towards the noise. Soon she came to two darkened caves, set deep in the black grass of the hill. Out of each of the caves howled a tremendous storm.
So great was each of the storms that a flock of seagulls was caught in their gusts. Then just as suddenly as they blew to sea, the winds changed direction and the seagulls were sucked down into the caves. After the seagulls ten eagles were sucked down into the caves with the howling wind, then a flock of puffin, then a dozen geese.
Then just as suddenly as the winds were sucked into the caves, they changed direction and were blown out to sea. Out of the caves flew a dozen geese; then out flew a flock of puffin, then ten eagles, then a flock of gulls. Then just as suddenly as they blew to sea, the winds changed direction and the seagulls and the eagles and the puffin and the geese were sucked back down into the caves.
And this went on and on and on, the winds forever exchanging direction, and the seagulls and the eagles and the puffin and the geese were thrown from the sea to the caves and from the caves to the sea. And Aisling had never seen a thing so strange.
And then Aisling, her ears throbbing with the howling of the wind, made her way down from the caves. Soon she came upon a large pit, set deep into the black grass of the hill. This pit was much greater than the caves and at its centre was a soft red fire. It was the strangest fire she had ever seen, for it was as warm as the summer's sun and as wet as the winter's rain.
Aisling had never seen a thing so strange, for she had never seen fire that could be both warm and wet. And along the edge of the pit ran a pearly staircase. The staircase described the circle of the pit and went up and then down, and then up and then down, and around and around as circles do, no single place its beginning and no single place its end.
Aisling stood on the pearly staircase and began to climb. As the steps went up they became long, and as the steps went down they became short. And down in the centre of the pit was a fire that was both warm and wet. And as Aisling climbed up and down the pearly stairs she had never been on a thing so strange.
Then Aisling heard a rumbling voice coming up from the pit.
WHO IS THAT TRAMPLING UP AND DOWN MY TEETH?
WHO IS IT THAT STARES DOWN AT MY TONGUE?
I CAN FEEL YOU, YOU TINY LOUSE, BUT I CANNOT SEE YOU FOR MY EYES ARE BLIND.
I AM THE WHALECAT. MY PURRING BREATH COMMANDS THE TIDES, MY TAIL SPANS THE WORLD.
BUT I AM STRANDED ON THIS SKELLIG-OF-THE-HEART, FOR A BLUE FISH IS IN MY GREEN EYE AND A GREEN FISH IS IN MY BLUE EYE AND I CANNOT SEE MY WAY THROUGH THE OCEAN.
AND THE IRRITATION IN MY EYES IS MAKING ME SNEEZE, AND THE SNEEZE IS BLOCKING MY NOSTRILS WITH BIRDS AND I CANNOT HOLD MY BREATH BENEATH THE WAVES, SO THE TIDES ARE WILD AND THE WORLD WILL FAIL.
And as Aisling stood on the pearly staircase listening to the voice, she had never heard a thing so strange.
Then Aisling called down into the deep pit of the whalecat's mouth:
"My name is Aisling and I am ten years of age. I've lived alone on the Skellig-of-the-heart for a thousand years. I have no memory of how I got here but I'm lonesome for company and tired of sleeping out in the cold, exposed to the blizzards of the sea. If I help get those fish out of your eyes, will you promise to take me to a more wonderful place than this?"
HA, SO YOU ARE NOT A TINY LOUSE AFTER ALL?
YES, LITTLE GIRL, IF YOU REMOVE THE FISH THAT TROUBLE MY SIGHT I'LL TAKE YOU TO THE HIDDEN CORNERS OF THE SEA. AND YOU'LL SEE ALL THE WONDERS OF MY KINGDOM.
Then Aisling stepped off from the whalecat's pearly teeth and made her way back up through his black fur towards his two eyes.
As she peered into the depths of the whalecat's blue eye she could see the green fish, who was now rising up for air. So Aisling took the long golden hair on the left-hand side of her head and braided it into a plait. And when the braid was finished she lowered it into the waters of the whalecat's blue eye. Then, with the long plait of her hair sinking into the water, she walked over to the whalecat's other eye, and as she peered into the green depths she could see the blue fish, who was now rising up for air.
So Aisling took the long golden hair on the right-hand side of her head and braided it into a plait. And when the braid was finished she lowered it into the waters of the whalecat's green eye.
Aisling waited until she felt the two fish tugging at the braids, which they had mistaken for golden sea-snakes, and then she began to walk up high over the top of the whalecat's head, and then down over his long back. As Aisling walked on, her two braids of hair were pulled free of the water and out came the two fish with them.
As the fish left the whalecat's eyes, Aisling could see that their bodies were incredibly long. They were like two wonderful eels, each a mile in length. Free of the water, they struggled and writhed on the black fur of the whalecat's back. One was as green as the sea, the other as blue as the sky. And Aisling had never seen fish as strange as these.
Then, stranger still, the fish began to speak. And the green fish said: "My daughter, Aisling." And the blue fish said: "Oh my daughter, Aisling."
And both together the fish began to speak in unison.
"Aisling, you are our only child, our first and only daughter. We are the people of the sea, merrows from the depths. One day while we swam these waters, on the very day of your tenth birthday, we were caught in the nets of a fisherman. He slaughtered us like seals, for that is what he thought we were. With our last breath we made an island for you from the pure blood of our hearts' love, and set you here where you'd be safe. Then our spirits entered into these two eels and we have been searching the ocean for a thousand years to find a guardian worthy enough to raise you.
"Before we set you here on this enchanted place we cleared your mind of every memory so that you wouldn't be haunted by sorrow. Now we bring you the whalecat, to raise you as his child. Goodbye, young daughter, and love us all your life, for now we must depart to paradise."
The two eels slithered off the whalecat's back and down into the waters of the sea. Down, down, down they swam, and the Skellig-of-the-heart began to melt. And sitting in the black fur of the whalecat's back Aisling began to cry for her dead parents. And she cried and she cried until the waters of the sea began to rise with the fullness of her tears.
And when Aisling had finished crying an entire day had passed. And the waters had risen and risen until the lands of the earth grew small, and the Great Skellig was nothing but the tip of stone that it is today, poking out of the ocean.
And the whalecat floated in the sea, the waves lapping against its fur. Aisling could see the whalecat's tail, which stretched for miles over the water. After a time the whalecat curled this immense tail beneath itself, and was thus able to stand upon its floating spiral, as if standing on a raft.
On the tip of the whalecat's tail there was a claw, a claw as long as the largest ship, and it curved sharply like a dredging hook. It was with this claw that the whalecat, whenever residing in the deepest parts, could anchor itself to the bottom of the ocean. But on this day the ocean floor was well below them, and the sun shone into the whalecat's eyes, its green eye and its blue eye, and the twinkling of those great eyes could be seen from the distant land.
AISLING, MY ADOPTED CHILD, CLIMB INTO THE CHAMBER OF MY LEFT EAR. THERE YOU WILL BE SAFE AGAINST THE OCEAN, FOR WHEN I DIVE TO THE DEPTHS MY EARS FOLD CLOSE AGAINST MY HEAD. COME WITH ME NOW, AND YOU'LL GAIN ALL THE WONDERS OF MY KINGDOM.
So Aisling did as she was bid, and the great whalecat uncurled its tail and dived down into the cold waters. And since that time Aisling has not aged above ten years and a day, and she lives at the bottom of the deepest sea, curled asleep in the whalecat's ear.

What advice do you have for other fantasy writers?
Genre is best seen, I believe, as a spectrum, rather than as a coagulating mass. So I think an early thing a writer has to decide is where they are on the spectrum. Another way of looking at it is to ask, what tradition of the Fantastic do I belong to or fit into best? Once a writer focuses on where they are they can function far more convincingly.
In my case I look at the genre through a specific set of lens, each individual lens being whichever tradition I am representing at any particular time, or upon which part of the spectrum I happen to be standing when approaching an individual poem. The traditions I align myself with, and all from a European perspective as I am a European, would be Magic Realism, Metaphoricism and Fabulism. As is common with the European practice of these particular isms, folktale is the specific myth-kitty that I would instinctively dip into. A very important additional approach that I align myself with, and this is specific to Ireland and to the geographical province I belong to, is the Aisling tradition, which is an Irish version of the vision poem. This sense of belonging to a tradition or traditions imbues me with creative confidence and also a conviction of artistic lineage.
In Irish poetry at the moment there is a crisis brought about by a top-heavy reliance on poems of the quotidian, which has led to convergence - where far too many poets are writing of common experience in a similar register. So what we have in Irish poetry journals is a bland porridge of the nearly same. As a poet working in the traditions of the Fantastic I am therefore currently and effectively anti-quotidianist, which suddenly legitimizes my stance as literary-political. This legitimacy is easier to maintain if one can claim a legacy of such writing. So my advice to writers is: find a tradition to belong to and then belong to it. Belong to it and serve it, and then take it further. It will deepen your writing immeasurably.

I am not able to use xdoclet tags to generate the correct jbosscmp-jdbc.xml file for a (bidirectional) m-n-relation.
This is what I am testing, but jbosscmp-jdbc.xml is not generated (unfortunately without an error message, I am using eclipse).
* @jboss.relation related-pk-field = "group_id"
* @jboss.relation related-pk-field = "user_id"
* @jboss.target-relation related-pk-field = "user_id"
Or can someone show me a working example?
BTW, the same problem occurs for a 1-n relation, I am only able to use it unidirectional.
target-* should occur only if the relation is Unidirectional.
target-role-name text Name of the relationship role on the other side of the relation. Should *only* occur if the relation is unidirectional.
Remove the target_role_name and target_ejb ..
> Remove the target_role_name and target_ejb ..
I also tried to use jboss.relation-mapping and jboss.relation-table only in one of the beans.
Nevertheless thanks for your samples. Now I know at least the direction.
I'm using Eclipse with Lomboz plugin and XDoclet 1.2b3 with JBoss3.2.1.
xdoclet.XDocletException: The relation FunkcjaInAGrupaFunkcjiRelation seems to be many-to-many (m:n). You should therefore specify weblogic:relation join-table-name="blabla".
and it will be working.

William Saliba joins Nice on loan
Arsenal defender William Saliba has moved to Nice on loan until the end of the season, both clubs announced on Monday.
In a statement, Ligue 1 outfit Nice said the deal with Arsenal for the 19-year-old was without an option to buy.
Arsenal said that the move had the aim of giving Saliba "the chance for more competitive playing time".
"We're confident he will have a great career with us but we must remember that he is still only 19 years old and has a lot of time ahead of him," said Arsenal's technical director Edu.
Saliba has yet to feature for the Gunners' first team since joining from Saint-Etienne in June.
The Premier League outfit paid 30 million euros ($36.8 million) in July 2019 for the France under-20 international before sending him back to Saint-Etienne on-loan for a season.
Saliba could come in as cover for injured captain Dante for Wednesday's trip to Brest, Nice's first match since the winter break.

Stone Island is forging ahead with its signature high-tech inventiveness reimagined with a cool urban-meets-miliary twist. The new Iridescent concept, in fact, highlights an elongated technical jacket made with an iridescent nylon canvas bonded to a golden pink polyurethane film with parts in Reflex Mat, a reflective fabric with a polyester base and matte coating thanks to thousands of glass microspheres in a resin bath. Both fabrics are water resistant.
The highly-detailed, teddy-lined jacket features a stand-up collar with Velcro fastening and plenty of pockets, from small to big, at once practical and distinctive. Its versatility is enhanced by a detachable and reversible nylon bomber, wearable on its own.

Q: None of the methods of AsyncTask called I have a button in my app, which when clicked on will open a PDF (the "Open with" prompt will show). The PDF file is in my assets folder of the app. I have written the code such that an AsyncTask carries out the operation of copying from the assets folder to external storage and then opening it. On running however, none of the methods of AsyncTask class execute as I can see from Logcat. I have seen other similar questions and tried their different answers:

*

*adding onPreExecute()

The error I get is NullPointerException in the onPostExecute(File file) method, i.e. file is not found. None of the logged statements in the three methods are in logcat.

    if (context != null) {
        new CopyFileAsyncTask().executeOnExecutor(AsyncTask.THREAD_POOL_EXECUTOR, (Void[])null);

How entertaining? ★★★★☆
Thought provoking? ★★☆☆☆
A movie review of GREEN ROOM.
Seen at the London Film Festival 2015. (For more information, click here.)
YouTube review:
"Let him bleed to death. Later is better for time of death, " Darcy Banker (Patrick Stewart)
Forget the beloved Patrick Stewart of X-MEN and STAR TREK. Professor X and Jean-Luc Picard are relegated to the sidelines. Stewart eats up the scenery as a conscienceless white supremacist murderer; a formidable adversary for the hapless leads inadvertently caught in his crosshairs. Being a talented thespian adds weight to what might have been a one-dimensional foe. Also brought to bear is a man, who clearly has, if not intellect, a tactician's mind, which deepens the peril for the heroes and makes the audience wonder what turning, on life's path, brought him to this ideology.
GREEN ROOM is three for three from writer-director Jeremy Saulnier, a filmmaker now deserving of a fanbase. MURDER PARTY (2007) is a hilarious slasher-comedy, while BLUE RUIN (2013) is a ponderous revenge flick in the vein of I SAW THE DEVIL. His latest is a siege movie that removes typical he-men protagonists. DIE HARD-John McClane levels of skill are a dream for the 20-something punk band trapped and beleaguered. What makes Saulnier's oeuvre so refreshing is the ordinariness of the characters caught in nightmarish scenarios, and the spins on genre.
If Bruce Willis' breakout role was a riposte to the outlandish super-men of Schwarzenegger and Stallone, might we finally be entering an interesting cinematic phase of the normal forced to tackle overwhelming odds? See also GONE GIRL and VICTORIA and IN ORDER OF DISAPPEARANCE and THE WORLD OF KANAKO.
Punk band 'The Ain't Rights' wake in a field. Looking to have passed out the night before, the van has ploughed into a crop. Running on empty, financially and fuel-wise, they choose to illegally syphon some petrol to make it to their next destination. Cinematic karmic meter turns against them, while also demonstrating mild back-to-the-wall resourcefulness. Their tour has been a bust, and needing coin to get back home they accept a gig at a skinhead club in an Oregon backwater. Disgusted by the setting, they muster a rebellious muse to sing 'Nazi Punks F*ck Off' to an aggressive afternoon crowd. Making it through their set, on the verge of getting out clean, they stumble upon a murder in the titular green room of the bar.
In the middle of nowhere, cell phones not in their possession, and a burgeoning array of neo-Nazi militia congregating outside under the command of club owner, Darcy, The Ain't Rights scrabble to formulate some sort of plan. Harking back to the visceral cinema of early Walter Hill and John Carpenter, namely SOUTHERN COMFORT and ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13, GREEN ROOM does not hold back on violence and the modulating of pace, tension and group dynamics.

Game of Thrones star trades in Ramsay Bolton for Hitler role
As revealed this week, actor Iwan Rheon, who played the dastardly Game of Thrones villain on the HBO fantasy series, is set to star as Hitler in an installment of Sky Arts' new series Urban Myths. Rheon will be joined by Harry Potter star Rupert Grint, who is playing Hitler's Friend.
Based on the teaser, Rheon's portrayal of the Nazi leader is focused on his failed pursuits at becoming a painter. "I will introduce myself as Adolf Hitler, academic painter," Rheon declares in the short clip. The actor was killed off during the last season of Game of Thrones.
The teaser for the eight-episode series, which stages rumored tales about celebrities, encountered some backlash this week because it also featured footage of Joseph Fiennes' portrayal of the late Michael Jackson in an episode that tells the story of the time Jackson shared a car with Elizabeth Taylor (Stockard Channing) and Marlon Brandon (Brian Cox) as they left New York after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. After receiving complaints from the Jackson family, who slammed Fiennes' "insulting" portrayal, Sky Arts announced Friday that it will not air the controversial episode.
"We have taken the decision not to broadcast Elizabeth, Michael & Marlon, a 30min episode from the Sky Arts Urban Myths series," the network tweeted from its official account. "This decision was taken in light of the concerns expressed by Michael Jackson's immediate family. We set out to take a light-hearted look at reportedly true events & never intended to cause any offense. Joseph Fiennes fully supports our decision."

WARNING - FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, PLEASE READ THIS SAFETY ADVICE CAREFULLY!
We recommend reading the below information and familiarising yourself with the procedures to ensure correct and safe operation of the Equinox Spark Stream.
After opening the Equinox Spark Stream Granules Pouch the granules should be stored in an air tight storage container in temperatures between 10° and 50°.
The Spark Stream should be installed on a flat solid surface with nothing blocking the underside air vent.
Check and clear the cooling system for dust and debris regularly to prevent build-up and blockages.
If the Spark Stream is being used in cold/humid conditions care MUST be taken to ensure condensation doesn't form in the outlet pipe. Please heat the unit for a minimum of 20 minutes before use to ensure all condensation can evaporate. During this process NO granules should be in the hopper and the hopper cap should be removed.
DO NOT put Equinox Spark Stream Granules into the hopper until the Spark Stream has heated to its full temperature to prevent the granules/hopper coming in contact with moisture.
Care MUST be taken when moving the Spark Stream Granules between hot/cold conditions where the granules could come into contact with moisture. If the granules come into contact with moisture they can gather together which could cause the machine to release large clumps of granules which could harm persons/damage furnishings.
ONLY Equinox Spark Stream Granules should be used. Other granules being used with the Spark Stream will void the warranty.
Once the Spark Stream has finished being used, power down the unit and empty the unused granules into a dry, air tight storage container. The unit should then be powered back on and run until all the remaining granules have exited the unit to leave a granule free machine.
Both Spark Stream units and granules MUST be stored in dry conditions. Silica gel sachets are recommended to absorb any moisture in flight cases or granule storage containers.
Please allow the Spark Stream to cool sufficiently or in any case a minimum of 30 minutes before transportation/storage.
Once the Spark Stream has cooled, check the aperture for any remaining granules that may have gathered or stuck to the outlet pipe. If there are granules lodged in the outlet pipe, use a soft wire brush to dislodge these. Once granules have been dislodged, rotate the unit so the outlet pipe is facing the ground to let the dislodged granules fall out ensuring no granules are left in the machine.
Equinox Spark Stream Granules should NOT be left in the hopper after the unit has been used or when it is being transported.

This is ridicules! I had a French Mastiff that would love when I put his backpack on, it gave him a job, he was so happy whenever I needed a drink and he would promptly stand so still so that I could retrieve a bottle of water from his backpack. I can't explain it but the look he gave me and the way he responded whenever I put it on him was priceless. He loved his walks and his job of keeping me hydrated – even though I didn't need it. He is gone now but that backpack was important to him, it made his walk more than just a walk, making it illegal is ridicules, the bad guys are going to find a way to be bad no matter what you do or what law you come up with. I now have little pups that don't need a backpack but was glad I could use it when I needed it for my Mastiff. Don't pass a dumb law because you don't know what else to do and the public is pressuring you to do something…..go after the bad guys some other way, do some research, talk to rescues, shelters, people involved, get their opinions before you go pass something so ridicules .
I am also a trainer and behaviorist who regularly recommends weightpulling to my clients to assist with modifying quite a variety of behavioral issues. Please feel free to use the testimonials from my clients on my website http://www.canineculturecny.com, or any of the behavioral or physical rehabilitation educational information on the website of http://www.APDASports.com to assist anyone's fight of these laws. And contact me if necessary.
The Mayor's office has passed bills inhibiting dog owner rights recently. So, that this comes from the Mayor's office isn't worth much. My question to this would be, though- "Who determines intent?" Surely, it's not the person in question. A neighbor scared of the dogs next door, perhaps?
No! That's not how this country works! Nobody has to prove their innocence here. It's up to the accuser to prove guilt.
There is absolutely no comfort in the Mayor's statement. The law makes otherwise benign items defacto evidence that you are a dogfighter. That's ridiculous. I'm sure, in the hands of COMPETENT prosecutors, these items can be offered to paint a picture of dog fighting without the proposed law.
It would be foolhardy indeed for us to allow this law to pass.
The most painful example of a law that ties otherwise benign things to lawlessness is the PG breed ban. Since the government believed only criminals and dogfighters owned "pit bulls", they banned them as if they were paraphenalia. It's no wonder that we must be ever watchful with any laws like these….
Not all people that own these tools are fighting apbt's. I was a resident of md most of my life . I own a treadmill an run the adba tristate treadmill race. I do condition an show my dogs to support our beloved breed in a positive light. The apbt breed is a high energy breed that need to be exercised. Do to my health a treadmill is a great tool for me to condition/exercise my dogs.

At its inception, accessing USENET was only possible through a dedicated client that used UNIX-to-UNIX copy protocol, or UUCP. Later refinements allowed access to newsgroups via network news transfer protocol, or NNTP, but connecting to USENET using either method means you have to use a program with newsreader capability. As the Web browser takes on more responsibilities, people are finding other ways to provide access to USENET newsgroups.
Think of it like this: There are many ways to make a phone call. One person may use a plain old telephone service (POTS) landline while another may use voice over Internet protocol (VoIP). Another may use a cell phone. All of these methods will establish a connection between you and the other party.
For the uninitiated, USENET newsgroups are similar to Web-based social networking forums found on social networking sites. Newsgroups are essentially discussion groups where users from all over the world can share their insight. Newsgroups usually come in text form with attachments encoded as binary files which require newsreader software to read them. What EasyNews does is provide a powerful and seamless way for users to access the millions of topics and discussions using a Web browser. If you prefer, however, you can use a newsreader program with EasyNews's NNTP server itself.
EasyNews is in competition with Internet service providers and other premium news services. Like any business providing customers a service, EasyNews has to make its services appealing and distinct. In the next section, you'll see some of those features as well as learn about what makes a USENET premium server what it is.


During my PhD, I studied how some environmental and genetic factors interact to modulate the development and aggravation of rheumatoid arthritis. I found that the deleterious effects of smoking on rheumatoid arthritis susceptibility and activity are dependent on aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) activation. Mainly, functional genetic polymorphisms in human AhR are associated with a differential influence of smoking on rheumatoid arthritis susceptibility and activity.
In the Littman lab, I am interested in the role of the enteric nervous system on intestinal immune function and its crosstalk with resident microbiota. My research will focus on the characterization of neuro-immune interactions that shape immunological intestinal homeostasis. This work may permit the identification of new targets for the treatment of inflammatory intestinal disorders.

Liquid Handling Components
Air Displacement Pipetting Modules
On-Board Intelligence
Hamilton Z-Excursion Universal Sampler (ZEUS) is a fully automated, self-contained, and ready-to-go pipetting module for integration into Diagnostics and Life Science instruments. It is based on Hamilton's revolutionary air displacement pipetting technology and uses disposable tips to avoid carry-over. The module is equipped with Qualitative Pipette Monitoring (QPM) which ensures precise and secure pipetting.
The ZEUS pipetting channel is a complete pipetting module with an integrated Z-Axis.
ZEUS LT
The ZEUS LT pipetting channel is designed for mounting to an existing Z-Axis.
Hamilton offers a wide range of pipette tips to address a variety of common automation challenges.
Everything You Need to Know About Liquid Handling
Expand your knowledge or brush up on automated liquid handling definitions and best practices in our Everything You Need to Know About Liquid Handling guide.
EXPLORE THE GUIDE
For Standard and Advanced Pipetting Tasks
ZEUS has built-in algorithms for standard and advanced pipetting tasks
Automation engineers looking to integrate pipetting components have traditionally had to invest significant effort into developing algorithms to coordinate a myriad of factors.
To address these project risks, Hamilton designed the ZEUS pipetting family with on-board intelligence for industry-leading precision and accuracy.
Qualitative Pipette Monitoring (QPM)
On the STAR Liquid Handling Platform Hamilton pioneered the art of translating pressure curves into intelligent actions. With ZEUS, the benefit of this knowledge is available for integration into any liquid handling application. Some pipetting modules are capable of reporting pressure data, but ZEUS is the only one capable of interpreting the data and providing actionable information back to the system.
Clogged Tip Detection
If the tip clogs during aspiration the pressure will spike down. As the plunger moves, sample is not being aspirated to help equalize the pressure.
Insufficient Liquid Detection
If there is insufficient liquid in the tube, the pressure curve will start down as normal but then will return to a pressure much higher than the expected level represented by Δp in the graph. The higher pressure is a result of having less liquid in the tip due to an incomplete aspiration.
Aspiration of Foam
If ZEUS pipettes foam instead of liquid, the pressure sensor detects spikes during the aspiration. Based on the severity of the spikes, a threshold can be set for a failed aspiration.
Anti-Droplet Control for Air Displacement Pipetting
Volatile liquids like acetone and methanol can be extremely difficult to pipette using air displacement. These liquids tend to vaporize in the tip which raises the air pressure resulting in liquid dripping from the tip. ZEUS is equipped with Anti-Droplet Control (ADC). When enabled, the pressure is monitored in the tip. As the pressure rises, the piston is retracted to equalize the pressure and prevent dripping. The illustrations show the pressure curve when ADC is on and off.
ADC OFF
Pressure reaches a maximum; a droplet is lost and pressure drops.
ADC ON
Piston retracts when pressure threshold is reached so no droplet forms.

Q: WIth PHP 5.6 and PDO is there any need for escaping characters? I use PDO to read/enter MySQL data in order to prevent SQL-Injection
$stmt = $DBH->prepare("SELECT * FROM T_Users WHERE User_Name = :UN");
$stmt->bindParam(':UN', $user_name);
$stmt->execute();

Are there any reasons I should be escaping characters before entering them in the database or before displaying the data from the database in the browser? Can malicious people exploit my website or other users by perhaps recording JavaScript code to my database?
Thanks!

A: The ->prepare(); method, along with bindParam()does everything for you, so there's no need to do anything else.
When you bind a param to the prepared statement variable, it puts the raw data in rather than adding it to the query like the old ways of doing it! :)

A: You should certainly not escape the arguments you pass for binding parameters.
There is no escaping happening at all. It is the SQL engine that compiles the statement with place-holders, and receives the parameter values separately, unescaped, later. It is the capability of the SQL engine to combine the compiled statement (there is no more SQL string at this point) and the parameter values that ensures that the whole problem of SQL injection has become irrelevant.
Escaping values that you pass for binding place holders would have a negative effect. The SQL engine really needs the values as they are, and if they are escaped in some way, the engine will not unescape them, but take them literally.

August 11, 2008 | Randy Zeldin, P.A.
Many Social Security Disability recipients in South Florida, Palm Beach and Broward Counties, receive benefits by U.S. "snail" mail or direct deposit. This sometimes results in delays or lost and stolen checks. The U.S. Department of Treasury has a plan to introduce a prepaid debit card for Social Security Disability recipients.
The card will be called the Direct Express credit card. Instead of mailing or direct depositing monthly payments, the U.S. Treasury will automatically load benefits onto a card account designated by the recipient. This will allow Social Security Disability recipients in South Florida to use the card for retail purchases, bank and ATM transactions. Social Security Disability recipients will be allowed one free ATM withdrawal each month, with a low charge of 90 cents for additional withdrawals. The Direct Express card is free to obtain and there is no monthly or annual fee.
The law offices of Randy Zeldin welcomes this introduction by the U.S. Treasury, which will benefit many of my Social Security Disability clients in Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Deerfield Beach and Pompano Beach. It will be a huge help to South Florida Social Security Disability recipients who have no bank accounts. To sign up, call the Social Security Administration at 1-877-212-999. Information can also be obtained on the Social Security website.

British Thermal Units to Kilocalories
British Thermal Units to Kilocalories - BTU to kcal
How to convert from British Thermal Units to Kilocalories
The conversion factor between British Thermal Units and Kilocalories is 0.25216441204589. To convert an amount in British Thermal Units in Kilocalories, multiply the the desired amount in British Thermal Units by 0.25216441204589:
Amount(British Thermal Units) × 0.25216441204589(Conversion Factor) = Result(Kilocalories)
Let's see how both units in this conversion are defined, in this case British Thermal Units and Kilocalories:
British Thermal Unit (BTU)
The British thermal unit (symbol: Btu or BTU) is a traditional unit of heat; it is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. It is part of the United States customary units. Its counterpart in the metric system is the calorie, which is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius. Heat is now known to be equivalent to energy, for which the SI unit is the joule; one BTU is about 1055 joules. While units of heat are often supplanted by energy units in scientific work, they are still important in many fields. As examples, in the United States the price of natural gas is quoted in dollars per million BTUs.
Kilocalorie (kcal)
Calories are units of energy. Various definitions exist but fall into two broad categories. The first, the small calorie, or gram calorie (symbol: cal), is defined as the approximate amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius at a pressure of one atmosphere. The second is the large calorie or kilogram calorie (symbol: Cal), also known as the food calorie and similar names, is defined in terms of the kilogram rather than the gram. It is equal to 1000 small calories or 1 kilocalorie (symbol: kcal). Although these units relate to the metric system, all of them have been considered obsolete in science since the adoption of the SI system. The unit of energy in the International System of Units is the joule. One small calorie is approximately 4.2 joules (so one large calorie is about 4.2 kilojoules). The factor used to convert calories to joules at a given temperature is numerically equivalent to the specific heat capacity of water expressed in joules per kelvin per gram or per kilogram. The precise conversion factor depends on the definition adopted.

Cambustion is an independent, privately owned company with headquarters in Cambridge, UK.
The company was founded in 1987 by a research group at Cambridge University Engineering Department, to produce a fast response Flame Ionisation Detector for hydrocarbon measurement. This analyzer had immediate applications in engine and catalyst development and found users at OEMs and universities, since the rapid time response allowed new insights into engine behavior.
Today the company has two groups, the Products group and the Engineering Services group.
Following early development of the fast response FID, subsequent revisions and updates produced a modern gas analyzer with computer control, widening the instrument's applications to standard test cell projects. Cambustion have applied the expertise and techniques developed with the HFR500 fast FID to the measurement of NOx and CO&CO2 with the CLD500 and NDIR500 respectively.
Cambustion analyzers are now in daily use at engine test and development facilities around the world, having proved themselves as vital tools during both routine engine calibration and more advanced R&D work. The (incomplete) list of work published with Cambustion analyzers gives an overview of the breadth and scale of their application.
In 2002 Cambustion launched the DMS500 fast particulate spectrometer. Originally developed to measure the particulate size spectrum in Diesel exhaust, subsequent enhancements have added the ability to measure total particle mass and total particle number, in line with current and future legislation. A process of continuing development has widened the DMS500's engine applications to Gasoline Direct Injection developments and Diesel Particulate Filter studies.
The DMS500 has also found uses in aerosol science, where it can replace older scanning equipment. The Smoking Cycle Simulator was developed as an accessory to the DMS500, allowing the system to measure aerosol size spectra and other parameters, while reproducing realistic smoking flow profiles.
The DPG is a complete system for the testing of Diesel Particulate Filters. The DPG offers vehicle and after-treatment manufacturers improved quality control processes for their DPFs, by facilitating DPF testing without an engine.
The Centrifugal Particle Mass Analyzer, launched in 2012, offers the ability to classify aerosol particles directly by mass, with applications including engine exhaust studies, engineered nanoparticles and ambient aerosol science.
With a large R&D team, Cambustion continue to innovate and develop new equipment / techniques, with applications ranging from automotive development to scientific research.
Cambustion's Engineering Services group has worked with customers around the world since 1991.
Our Cambridge, UK site provides a high specification emissions development facility, including 5 transient engine dynamometers and 1 transient chassis dynamometer, together with extensive emissions measurement equipment, from manufacturers such as Horiba, MKS and Cambustion's Products Group.
Cambustion's expertise spans gasoline, Diesel and alternative fuels, and includes a wide range of after-treatment techniques.
Cambustion products are used daily around the world by the majority of major vehicle and after-treatment OEMS. With local representation in China, France, India, Japan and the USA, progressive development of our products coupled with attention to reliability and ease of operation has allowed Cambustion's research quality equipment to become mainstream.
Cambustion's reputation for technical support is key to our continuing growth. Customers value our experience and assistance in interpreting their data- Cambustion products reveal features of engine operation which can't be seen with conventional analyzers.
We can often put prospective purchasers of Cambustion products in touch with an existing Cambustion customer inside their organisation, to offer an appraisal of the value of our support and the quality of our products.
Cambustion and our agents/distributors attend a wide range of conferences around the world. Cambustion also sponsor the Cambridge Particle Meeting. To see a list of upcoming exhibitions and shows, see our News page.

Q: Neural network design 2nd edition solution manual Is there a solution manual for the book below
http://hagan.okstate.edu/nnd.html
I am solving the exercises from each chapter and I am having trouble identifying if I am making any mistakes.
Complete solution is not required as long as I have the final answer so I can verify my solution.

A: I have created a Solution Manual, icluding code solutions too, which you can find in this Github repo. A solution manual by authors does not exist.
In addition,  in case you need help with an exercise of the book or in general if you have a question about Neural Networks you can have a look at Artificial Intelligence Stack Exchange, which is the best community to learn and discuss. You are also encouraged to use discussions section of the repo, for questions related to book exercises and examples.
As a last resort, there are many sites like Chegg Study, CourseHero where you can pay to get solutions but I wouldn't recommend it at all . Also, you can search on internet the description of the problem you are studying, since a lot of universities & polytechnic schools are using this book.
In the repo are also included written solutions and explanations by multiple contributors.

Halal.Ad Blog – To Your Success. Here & Hereafter.
As you may have noticed we have been silent for the past couple of months. Because we have been busy at Halal.Ad recently.
Today, I'm going to share one of the recent success stories.
I visited Canada for the first time during winter holidays at the end of 2017. I usually travel alone. But this time I went with my family so we can get to see Canada as a family. The weather was amazing. Lots of snow. We were so excited that we actually bought some sleds and head to the park close. It was a full day of fun for the family to sled from the snowy hills.
I also met some old friends whom I haven't seen for many years. Shakhzod was one of them. After usual greetings, I asked what he was up to these days. He said he was selling healthy foods online. I asked why. He simply said he was doing lots of research on healthy foods and eating healthy. He was looking for buying some locally, but it was not easy to find.
Here are two things I really loved about his project. First, it was something really cares and it is beneficial to others as well. Second, where he saw a problem, he provided a solution. Entrepreneurship in action.
By the way, check out his shop: www.naturamarket.ca if you are in Canada and want to eat healthily.
This is what you can read on their website under about section.
Healthy food is our passion! At Natura Market, we believe that healthy lifestyle starts with healthy eating. Healthy eating is about feeling great, having more energy, improving your health. Nowadays making healthy choices is more difficult than it has ever been before, therefore we decided to ease this mission. We carefully select every product to suit your lifestyle or diet be it Paleo, Whole30, Gluten-free, LCHP, Non-GMO, etc. Our mission is to bring the best healthy products to Canada from the best-selling brands!
I started asking more questions "How are sales? How are you getting new customers?".
He smiled and said "It is growing slowly. Most of it via search engines. We are considering some influencer marketing".
It didn't take a long time to figure out that he was just boosting some social posts like many companies on social media. It gives you a sense of accomplishment that you are doing something. However, it rarely produces a result. If it doesn't work, what works?
The next minutes it was more like a monologue where I was sharing what I know.
You have to deliver the right message to the right person at the right time in the right away.
Most companies with products or services, they just want to sell. Right here, right now. This is selfish thinking. Most people don't wake up and open their mobile apps to see your ad then rush to your site to buy your offer.
What really works is this. If you really genuinely care, you should broaden your perspective and take the buyer into account. What are his or her dreams? What bothers your customer at night?
You may not like it, unless you are a well-known brand like Coca-Cola, most people have no idea about you, your product or service. This is how it is. This is where everybody starts. Your job is to move the relevant people from this group to the next.
This is the stage when your potential customers know about you for the first time. The key words here are the potential customers. You don't or will never have enough money to convey the message to all people. So you should know whom you are after, create a message that appeals to them and reach with this message at the right time.
It is much easier said than done. As they say in real estate, it is all about location, location, and location. In advertising and marketing, it is all about relevancy, relevancy, and relevancy.
Instead of shouting out you are the greatest "…" in the world (replace the … with your product), you should put yourself in the shoes of your customer. If your customer needs to put a family photo on his wall, he needs a hole in the wall, not necessarily a drill.
Your job will be to figure out what is going on customers mind and tap into it. Be a part of the conversation and offer your product or service as a solution.
Assuming you did the job right in Awareness stage by telling your story about your product or service, your potential customer will be considering your offer. By the way, here is a great video by Simon Sinek on how to tell a great story (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPYeCltXpxw).
Depending on the price and many other factors, the decision stage takes a couple of minutes to hours, days and sometimes months and years.
This is the last stage in getting your customers to pay you. Unfortunately, many companies want to star at this stage. This is why only 1-2% of website visitors ever convert. Don't be like others.
In a nutshell, you have to create a product or service that really solves a problem. Then tell your story to the relevant people at the relevant time.
Shakhboz agreed that we would give it a try. However, we need to agree on KPIs in advance. Since Natura Market is not just another shop that health products, but his vision is to be the largest online shop in Canada and make healthy options affordable so more people can benefit.
In terms of return on investment, it meant 1 dollar spent on ads should bring at least $10 sales.
Do you remember we discussed Awareness? Due to a high expectation, we had to act extremely cautious to bring 10X ROI. So instead of reaching out to new potential customers from Ignorance group, we started with Awareness group. In other words, we started to advertise to the people who already know about Natura Market.
The list goes on. However, we started with this list since they are the people who already know and some already shown interest in the products.
Each customer segment got a specific message so it is relevant to them.
So, did it work? Let the numbers do the talking.
As you can see, we created different campaigns with specific goals. We have tested and discovered what worked and what didn't.
If the campaign continuously performed well, we gradually increased its daily budget.
The end result was that on average, we delivered 13X Return On Ad Spend as you can see from the report screenshot below.
Based on our experience, it is a great result. I think the business idea, your story, and execution also adds up to these numbers, not just advertising.
At the end of the day, advertising and marketing amplify your business assuming you already created a great product or service that solves a problem.
If you are one of those entrepreneurs with a great product and you need help with increasing your sales, fill in the form below. We will set up a meeting and talk. It is free.
It's been almost 2 years since we launched Halal.Ad to the market. We learnt a lot along the way and as a result, we finally released Halal.Ad 2.0 last week.
Last time we talked about Attention, and some tips on how you can seek attention from viewers.
Today, we will talk about 2 more strategies, and they are: Clarity & Action.
Clarity is about the message you intended to put on your banner: to be clear and transparent on what you are going to offer to your potential customers.
So how can you create a powerful message to make your ads clickable?
Do you consider advertising as an investment? or do you think it's a huge expense?
What can you do to make it an investment for your business?
The key to effective online advertising is to know how you can reach your potential customers.
I talked to br. Loay recently. He is the founder of www.quranstudyandrevision.com.
He is originally a teacher and he has a successful online tutoring site.
Now he is bringing this new idea of teaching Quran together with Math, Science and English to our kids of Ummah, iA.
I really enjoyed our conversation and hope you will enjoy too.
Recently I had the pleasure of talking to a friend Harun Rashid who is a serial entrepreneur. He is also the founder of Islamic Design House.
We discussed his story how we started, the challenges he faced and what he is doing these days.
In this blog post, we will show you how to create an account at Halal.Ad.
If you wonder what Halal.Ad is all about, it's an ad network exclusively designed for Muslim market, so Muslim advertisers can advertise their products/services, while Muslim publishers can monetize their traffic through serving those ads.
Understand Quran Academy is an Islamic organisation that teaches Quran – the holy book of Islam – to Muslims via interactive and fun digital courses.
This is our story how we helped them to double their sales via Halal.Ad.
