Q: cron job not running on boot I have a bash script I'd like to run at boot (both reboot and from cold boot) using the latest Ubuntu server version.
I've confirmed the script works when running it directly.
I ran
sudo crontab -e
and added the following to the file
@reboot ./wol.sh
I've confirmed that the script runs successfully when I run it myself using
sudo ./wol.sh
but it doesn't run when I restart Ubuntu with
sudo shutdown -r now
If it's relevant here's the bash file
#!/bin/bash
etherwake MAC_ADDRESS -i enp1s0
I also set the permissions to the file as chmod 700
What am I missing? Thanks in advance.

What a fantastic conference this was, in the unique setting of St. Mary of the Angels Church in Church Street, Dublin. It was as well that the church was used as in excess of 250 people attended by our reckoning.
Each of the speakers gave an excellent and interesting talk, and the large audience certainly appreciated each one.
The conference was a public history event, intended for those interested in the deep connection between the Capuchin Friars and key events in Irish history during the last four centuries, including their role in the Easter Rising, and the programme was comprehensive.
The history of the Capuchins in Ireland is a fascinating one - not just because of their involvement in the revolutionary period of the early 20th century.
This is an order that practices what it preaches - charity - and has stayed true to its founding .intent of always being of and among the people.
We were delighted to see such a great display of Joe Connell's "Rebels' Priests" in our Kilmainham Tales series on sale, and that the audience was buying it so enthusiastically!
Another great publication on sale was the reprint of the Capuchin Annual of 1966 with its fantastic articles on the Easter Rising for only €10, with half the money going to the Capuchins' Breakfasts charity - such a deserving cause.
We took the opportunity to re-visit the poster exhibition in the Sacred Heart hall adjoining the church, where copious amounts of light refreshments were served throughout the day. The exhibition was officially opened last December by Fr. Sean Donohoe OFM Cap. Vicar General (Fr. Adrian Curran OFM Cap., the Provincial Minister, being out of the country).
Having visited it, we can recommend this exhibition unreservedly. The Capuchins played a vital part in the Easter Rising and War of Independence (see Joe Connell's book "Rebels' Priests" for further details) and continue today to do their Christian duty with their day centre without which many of our more vulnerable citizens would surely have died. The Capuchin archives are a treasure trove of information and are freely accessible to all.


Naruto 445 Spoiler Pics If you would like to discuss the spoilers or predictions, please leave a comment below.
Second pic seem to have been translated.
Trivia : Sasuke was ranked as the most popular character in the sixth and most recent Naruto character popularity poll. He also finished 1st in the fifth poll. He placed third in the fourth poll and fourth in the third poll. He was fourth in the second poll and third in the first poll.
Naruto 450 spoiler is available now. We will update this page as soon as the naruto 450 spoiler pics is released.
WTF! NOOOOOOOOOOOO! Danzou why! ??? Unless it's only then so he can get killed by Sasugay… but still soooo lame!
Just bcz Tsunade is in her granny mode? Shes not dead is she? the 3rd was quite old himself… the villagers just dont want an old hag for a hokage is that it?
How is Danzou any better, half blind, ugly and stupid evil like :( If it's true then this is a very evil sad twist and Kishi better has a solid explanation later on in the plot!
Don´t you think that Naruto is too young to be hokage? He is only 16.
Kakashi IS the one who should be the next hokage! And not that stupid Danzou!
The Hokage isn't picked based on who is the strongest or most powerful. The Hokage is picked based on who can make the best decisions 2defend the village in its time of need. That is Y Kakashi was suggested. However it has been shown through history that those who follow the Third's teachings have only brought destruction 2thier village. This is Y Danzo was chosen instead.
And I 4one am happy 2C him as Hokage. I only wonder what his next move will B.
you right! danzo is cool man he will surpass all hokage even the fourth is loser not like him. danzo is the man!
Danzou cannot be hokage. This is because he is anti-naruto and he may/will banish naruto into exile. This will totally change the entire story.
Then he'd B sentenced 2death 4 treason. Or at least forced out of Konoha. So he could never B-come Hokage. Smart one.

Q: using if statement with && and || inside for loop I have an if statement inside for loop with more than one condition. I want to match the data in database with input data in an HTML form. When the input field in the form is blank it is stored as null in the database. I have this column(itemsSortedByDate[i].FD_MIMO) in the database which can be null or can have some value. I am unable to match the blank field with null in the database. Also even if that column(itemsSortedByDate[i].FD_MIMO) has some value in the database, my for loop searches for the database which has null field just because other fields are matching. My Javascript is as below. The last condition is creating problems. ScenarioListViewModel.fdMimo()and itemsSortedByDate[i].FD_MIMO are supposed to be same whether it's null or has some value. But in the console.log they are different. Thank you for your help, much appreciated.
self.getJobIdForCapacity = function(itemsSortedByDate){
            var jobIdForCapacity;
            var found = false;
            for (var i = 0, len = itemsSortedByDate.length; i < len; i++) {
                if(itemsSortedByDate[i].DB_Name == ScenarioListViewModel.db_name()
                && itemsSortedByDate[i].Split_Mode == ScenarioListViewModel.splitMode()
                && itemsSortedByDate[i].Full_Output == ScenarioListViewModel.fullOutput()
                && (itemsSortedByDate[i].Workflow_Status == "Completed" || itemsSortedByDate[i].Workflow_Status == "Running")
                && (itemsSortedByDate[i].Disposition == "Success" || itemsSortedByDate[i].Disposition == "None")
                && (itemsSortedByDate[i].FD_MIMO == ScenarioListViewModel.fdMimo() || itemsSortedByDate[i].FD_MIMO == null)){
                    jobIdForCapacity = itemsSortedByDate[i].Title;
                    console.log("Job Id:" + jobIdForCapacity);
                    console.log("fdmimo from form:" +ScenarioListViewModel.fdMimo());
                    console.log("fdmimo from list:" +itemsSortedByDate[i].FD_MIMO);
                    self.getJobResults(jobIdForCapacity);
                    found = true;
                    break;
                }
            }
            if (!found) {
                alert("Job not found in Sharepoint Execution History List. Click Execute Model to run");
            }
        };

A: I would suggest you use === in all the conditions in if statement and it may help you solve your problem as there is difference in === vs ==.
Please refer this question for the difference.
For example:
itemsSortedByDate[i].DB_Name == ScenarioListViewModel.db_name()

will be
itemsSortedByDate[i].DB_Name === ScenarioListViewModel.db_name()

Condition:
"Completed" || itemsSortedByDate[i].Workflow_Status == "Running"

will always return  "Completed" does not matter itemsSortedByDate[i].Workflow_Status == "Running" is true or false. Here your can use ternary operator like
itemsSortedByDate[i].Workflow_Status == "Running"? "Running" : "Compelted"

Something of this kind. Check all conditions like this.

Q: Place NSCollectionLayoutBoundarySupplementaryItem on top of cells I'm having trouble with adding a footer in UICollectionViewCompositionalLayout on top of the cells. Specifically I want to have an interactive control in my footer (in my case a UIPageControl). This is an example layout,
 func generateLayout() -> UICollectionViewCompositionalLayout {
        let item = NSCollectionLayoutItem(layoutSize: .init(widthDimension: .fractionalWidth(1), heightDimension: .fractionalHeight(1)))
        let groupSize = NSCollectionLayoutSize(
            widthDimension: .fractionalWidth(1),
            heightDimension: .absolute(213)
        )

        let group = NSCollectionLayoutGroup.horizontal(layoutSize: groupSize, subitem: item, count: 1)

        let section = NSCollectionLayoutSection(group: group)
        section.boundarySupplementaryItems = [footer()]

        return UICollectionViewCompositionalLayout(section: section)
    }

The footer is configured like,
private func footer() -> NSCollectionLayoutBoundarySupplementaryItem {
        let size = NSCollectionLayoutSize(widthDimension: .fractionalWidth(1), heightDimension: .absolute(20))
        let item = NSCollectionLayoutBoundarySupplementaryItem(
            layoutSize: size,
            elementKind: "footer-kind",
            alignment: .bottom,
            absoluteOffset: .init(x: 0, y: -30)
        )
        item.zIndex = 1000
        return item
    }

Lets say I have a button in my Footer that I want to be tappable. I have changed the zIndex of the footer so it is higher than other views in my section.
class FooterCell: UICollectionReusableView {
    override func apply(_ layoutAttributes: UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes) {
        super.apply(layoutAttributes)
        layer.zPosition = CGFloat(layoutAttributes.zIndex)
    }
}

The result of the snippets above is that the button is visible on top of the cells, but not tappable. After some inspections in the view debugger it is clear that the supplementary view is added to the view hierarchy before the cells and changing the zIndex only moves the layer to the  front, not the complete view. Is there someway to change the order on how the views are added in the compositional layout? Or is there any other way to bring the footer view above the cells?

Q: Automator-generated apps - Backwards compatibility In my experience apps created with automator on Mountain Lion don't work on a Snow Leopard machine. The opposite isn't true though: apps created with automator on Snow Leopard do work on a Mountain Lion machine.
I'm creating a very simple wrapper around a command line executable and using cocoa seems overkill. I want the app to work on as many versions of OSX as possible though, so backwards compatibility is a concern.
Any thoughts on that matter? How can I ensure that my Mountain Lion Automator app is backwards-compatible?


I'm not going to be doing the soliloquy thing for long, there's just a lot of info to dump and it works really well to illustrate the passage of time from an observation standpoint instead of direct thoughts. A recountance instead of direct events.
It's a storytelling thing. Or something.
For those looking it up - the internet says 6-8 weeks for recovery of a punctured lung. About the same for a fractured rib.
I have officially shortened that for the timeline for the future to 4 weeks, mostly because I screwed up my timeline pretty bad while I was writing. So, my bad.
Phew! Bill's alive and probably in what medics would describe as a "serious but stable" condition.
When Annie's finally recovered enough to perform again, she really should cover "I Will Survive" :D Yes, it's not the band's style, but still... (and the song's antagonist could be an amalgam of all those who've hurt her - plus her "Tony" mask).

Child-centered play and focused concentration
Since our inception in 1999, WYP has grown into a well-established non-profit with strong support from our community. We offer after school, school-day and summer programs starting at age three and going through high school.
As a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, WYP provides scholarships to 60% of our participants, thanks to the support of community members like you. We're serving 1000 un-duplicated youth in Santa Barbara's south coast in 2017.
WHAT WE DO & WHY IT WORKS
The mission of Wilderness Youth Project (WYP) is to foster confidence, health, and a life-long love of learning for young people and families through active outdoor experiences and mentoring.
WYP envisions teaching the next generation to be peaceful, respectful and confident stewards of our world.
We take our participants to resource-rich locations such as the creeks, beaches, mountain trails, and open spaces in Santa Barbara's abundant front country. Our core routines include child-centered exploration, awareness, and the building of naturalist skills. We use a nature-based mentoring curriculum that combines experience in nature with a hands-on learning process. We also teach the "Principles of Peace," which focus on conflict resolution, communication and peacemaking. The improved outcomes we have tracked for our participants include individual growth and self-assurance, interpersonal skills, physical competence and an increased respect for the natural world.
Our four-to-one youth-to-counselor ratio affords participants a high quality of mentoring typically unavailable in youth services. This low ratio along with the flexible nature of our programs allows for individualized attention. Through the course of a season children grow in agility, self-awareness, and social awareness. We operate with a long-term mentoring model and most of our participants return for multiple years. Wilderness Youth Project (WYP) promotes meaningful social change through an innovative, nature-based curriculum and mentoring program. Our programs return children to the traditions of childhood: outdoor time, child-centered exploration, skill/self-esteem development and connection with the natural world.
Nature education during childhood has a potent impact on shaping both environmental attitudes and behaviors in adulthood. Nature stimulates powers of observation, creativity, and a sense of peace. Research shows that spending time in nature dramatically reduces children's propensity for violence, stress, and symptoms of ADD/ADHD.
INCLUSIVENESS (East) We believe a connection with Nature is needed by everyone and for this reason we are committed to making our programs available to all children by bridging socioeconomic or cultural barriers. This means far more than "equal opportunity" to us. Inclusiveness requires an active effort on our part to create and maintain overlap between WYP culture and the cultures that contain and surround us. In this way, our programs are nourished by diverse perspectives and our entire community benefits from the teachings we offer.
NATURE MENTORING (South)
We use tools called "Coyote Mentoring" and "The Eight Shields Model" to engage people in place-based education and deepen their relationship with nature. Our curriculum includes naturalist and survival skills, animal tracking, edible and medicinal plants, and interpreting bird language. Our students are immersed in nature, utilizing all of their senses. We maintain a low student to teacher ratio of 4:1 to facilitate individual mentoring. Nature Mentoring develops stewards, mentors, and leaders who will foster sustainability for humanity and the earth.
COMMUNITY (West)
We nurture an awareness of the vital interdependence of nature, community, and self. We encourage genuine relationships, service to community, and a lifestyle in rhythm with nature.
PEACEMAKING (North)
We strive to begin our interactions with thanksgiving. We have a commitment to cultivate peace in ourselves and to communicate honestly and clearly. In this way, we steward the earth and our children toward peace and well-being of body, mind, and spirit.
Program Activities (Our Core Routines)
Circle of Thanksgiving
Sharing words of thanksgiving for what we have and appreciation for others
Awareness Games
Scout skills, blindfolded drum stalk, camouflage, and more
Outdoor exploring of the many magical things in nature
Telling our stories with words, journaling, acting
Art of questioning
The answer always leads to more questions…
Sit Spot
Knowledge of place by observation and experience
Primitive skills
Learn fire by friction, cordage, tracking, archery and more while building relationships with materials you use
The story of the origin of Wilderness Youth Project
Warren Brush
On Saturday, April 12th, 1997 a group of youth from a shelter for homeless families called Transition House, went on a short kayak adventure out of the Santa Barbara Harbor. This trip was the spark that kindled the eventual flame of Wilderness Youth Project. Warren Brush and Cynthia Harvan started the Transition House Adventure Club to get youth out of the shelter and city environment and into nature where learning and growing were more easily weaved into their lives. Several weekends a month Warren and Cyndi would gather a couple of volunteers, borrow vans from Easy Lift and head into the mountains or out on the waters to share the wonders of the natural world with these children.
Cynthia (Cyndi) Harvan, 2003
Many of these kids, who were living in extreme poverty, were having a hard time making it in their day-to-lives and found a welcome respite in being wrapped in a culture of nurture that helped them to process many of their discontents and imbalances in healthy and productive ways. Immediately, the kids showed signs of a healthier outlook and an ability to communicate that had long been isolated by the shame often felt in being homeless. The stories of these kids and their growth began to move out in broad concentric rings throughout the community which touched the lives of many other social workers and folks who work in other agencies with troubled youth. Within the first two years, numerous requests began to come in from other social service organizations to take their kids on our unique outings. This became the impetus for Warren and Cyndi to start the non-profit organization, Wilderness Youth Project in 1999. From the beginning, Wilderness Youth Project has been committed to serve youth and families from all walks of life and socioeconomic backgrounds and this has been a unique component to its success in teaching community building skills to the youth.
Sharon Buczaczer (now Tollefson), 2003
In the Summer of 2000, Warren and Cyndi hired the first employee, Sharon Buczaczer, with help from a grant from the Santa Barbara Foundation. Sharon naturally stepped into the role of Program Coordinator and quickly became a pillar of this budding organization. Early in 2002, Charlie Coupal and Shawn Perkin joined the staff as Lead Mentors and Kolmi Majumdar joined as the first Development Coordinator. In that same year, Mark Tollefson joined the staff to offer his many talents and gifts. This founding team of committed and heartfelt group of people, along with the board of directors headed by the first executive committee of James Smallwood, Cullen Carey, Whitney Ingersoll and Wells Hughes were key in laying the foundation for Wilderness Youth Project's success.
Mark Tollefson, 2005
In December of 2004, Warren stepped down as the Executive Director and Cyndi as a Program Coordinator after seven inspiring and instrumental years to pursue the development of Quail Springs, a land based sister organization to Wilderness Youth Project in the Cuyama Valley. On January 1, 2005, Mark Tollefson stepped into the role of Executive Director and his wife Sharon Buczaczer stepped into the Program Director position together becoming the next couple who would guide WYP into its next generation of growth and influence.
On October 15, 2008 Dan Fontaine, who had worked at all levels of the organization from volunteer to Program Director, took over as Executive Director. Michelle Howard, Erika Lindemann and Sharon Tollefson round out the team of directors. Read more about WYP staff.

The bill allocates $145.4 billion in discretionary and mandatory funding and includes provisions for cotton and dairy producers, both of whom have faced challenging economic circumstances in recent years. Specifically, the bill allows cotton producers to participate in the Price Loss Coverage (PLC) program and reforms aspects of the Dairy Margin Protection Program (DMPP), which has failed to adequately support struggling dairy producers.
I applaud the bipartisan efforts of the Senate Appropriations Committee to provide solutions for dairy and cotton producers, and am hopeful that they may finally see the relief they so desperately need. These farmers have been severely impacted by sustained low prices, and the current safety net has failed them. The improvements included in this bill are long overdue, and the first step of many to improve a broken program. We look forward to working with Congress to develop further reforms for the benefit of farmers.


Seeds can be deceiving when it comes to Oregon and UC Irvine. Both teams entered the NCAA Tournament as double-digit seeds, but they are much stronger than those seeds. It sets up for what could be a memorable second-round clash on Sunday.
Oregon made an unexpected run through the Pac-12 Tournament, winning four games in four days, just to get into the field. The 12th-seeded Ducks haven't stopped flying high. They dominated No. 5 seed Wisconsin and pulled away for a 72-54 victory. Oregon stifled the Badgers on the perimeter to pull away after halftime.
UC Irvine took advantage of an offensively challenged No. 4 seed Kansas State in a 70-64 victory by raining down baskets from the perimeter. The 13th-seeded Anteaters also held the Wildcats to just 37.3 percent shooting from the field.
This is the ninth game all-time between the two schools. Oregon holds a 6-2 lead in the series. UC Irvine hasn't beaten the Ducks since sweeping a home-and-home series in 1981 and '82.
Shooting well from the perimeter is going to be critical for the Anteaters. Oregon has a ton of size, length, and quickness. Four of the five starters for the Ducks are 6-foot-9 or taller, so getting to the basket will be a chore for UC Irvine. Max Hazzard and Evan Leonard can open things up a bit if they shoot as well as they are capable of doing. Both players scored 19 points against Kansas State. Leonard is shooting 41.2 percent from 3-point range, while Hazzard is at 39.7 percent.
Cutting down on turnovers is crucial if the Anteaters want to advance. UC Irvine got sloppy at times against the Wildcats. That won't fly against the Ducks. Oregon loves to throw a relentless press at opponents and it can cause turnovers to pile up in a hurry. The Ducks thrive on transition baskets. If UC Irvine lets the transition game get going for Oregon, it will be battling a double-digit deficit for the better part of 40 minutes.
The Ducks need to use their size to their advantage around the glass. UC Irvine has consistently won the rebounding battle with opponents all season long. Oregon can prevent that from happening on Sunday. The Ducks have outrebounded six of their last nine opponents through a collective effort on the glass. Louis King, with 5.6 rebounds per game, is the only healthy Oregon player averaging more than five rebounds.
Cranking up the defensive pressure is an Oregon trademark, especially during the team's current winning streak. UC Irvine showed it is vulnerable to turning the ball over in the team's win over Kansas State. The Ducks know how to fluster opposing guards with their quick hands. Oregon is averaging 5.4 steals per game over the last nine games and has forced 14.8 turnovers per game in that stretch. The Ducks have had eight steals in back-to-back games against Washington and Wisconsin.
Few teams left in the NCAA Tournament are on a bigger roll than these two squads. UC Irvine has won 17 straight games. Oregon has won nine in a row. Both teams are hungry to prove themselves and both are dangerous teams. The edge ultimately goes to the Ducks. Oregon has more quickness, depth, and athleticism than UC Irvine. Injuries were largely responsible for the Ducks' struggles earlier in the season. Now fully healthy, Oregon is playing how everyone expected when it started the season as a Top 25 team. That's ultimately bad news for the Anteaters.

David C. Queller is a leading evolutionary biologist at Washington University in St. Louis. He received his BA from The University of Illinois in 1976, and his PhD from The University Michigan in 1982. He was on the faculty of Rice University in Houston, Texas from 1989 till 2011, and was Harry C. and Olga K. Wiess Professor in Natural Sciences in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. His work focuses on both theoretical and empirical aspects of the evolution of social interactions, including both sexual selection and kin selection. Recent theoretical studies have focused on generalizing inclusive fitness theory, the role of relatedness in viscous populations, and the importance of demographic advantages in the evolution of sociality in insects. He has also developed methods for estimating genetic relatedness using genetic markers and this work led to an extensive collaboration with Joan E. Strassmann on the importance of genetic relatedness in the evolution of social insects. They use DNA microsatellite markers to study altruism and conflict in both social insects and cellular slime molds.

Das Star Wars Holiday Special ist eine speziell für das Fernsehen produzierte, 97 Minuten lange Star-Wars-Fernsehsendung, die am Freitag, den 17. November 1978 auf dem US-amerikanischen Fernsehsender CBS ausgestrahlt wurde. Mit Ausnahme von Alec Guinness und Peter Cushing sind darin alle Hauptdarsteller des Films Krieg der Sterne von 1977 vertreten. George Lucas hat das Skript selbst geschrieben, jedoch konnte er sich nicht um die eigentliche Produktion kümmern, da er bereits mit Das Imperium schlägt zurück beschäftigt war. Mittlerweile gehört der Film zur unkanonischen Legends-Timeline.

Die Show erzielte hohe Einschaltquoten und wurde in rund 18 Millionen Haushalten verfolgt, dennoch wurde sie anschließend nie wieder in den USA ausgestrahlt. Zwischen 1979 und 1981 fanden jedoch auch Ausstrahlungen in anderen Ländern, wie Frankreich oder Brasilien statt, ehe sie auch dort nie wieder ausgestrahlt wurden. Auch im regulären Handel kann das Special nicht erworben werden. George Lucas war vom Ergebnis enttäuscht und fand die Qualität der Fernsehsendung so schrecklich, dass er eine weitere Ausstrahlung oder eine Veröffentlichung auf Video zu verhindern versuchte. Nach nun mehr als 40 Jahren sind Kopien des Star Wars Holiday Special zu einem beliebten Sammlerobjekt geworden.

Handlung
Der "Tag des Lebens" steht kurz bevor, ein Feiertag der Wookiees. Chewbacca ist auf dem Weg nach Hause, um seine Wookiee-Familie wiederzusehen und dort den Feiertag mit ihnen zu verbringen. Der Schmuggler Han Solo begleitet seinen Copiloten Chewbacca mit seinem Raumschiff, dem Millennium Falcon. Auf dem Weg zu Chewbaccas Heimatplaneten Kashyyyk werden sie von zwei Sternenzerstörern angegriffen. Han beschließt umzukehren, jedoch möchte Chewbacca unbedingt zu seiner Familie und dort den Feiertag verbringen. Nach kurzer Überlegung lässt sich Han darauf ein, aber sie werden sich wohl verspäten, da der Hyperantrieb ihres Raumschiffs schwer beschädigt wurde.

Auf Kashyyyk wartet währenddessen Chewies Familie. Seine liebevolle Frau Malla, sein Sohn Lumpy und sein griesgrämiger Vater Itchy machen sich große Sorgen und warten sehnsüchtig auf Chewies Ankunft. Besorgt wenden sie sich an Luke und Leia, die ihnen auch keinen Anhaltspunkt geben können, wo sich Chewbacca aufhalten könnte. Um sich abzulenken und die Wartezeit zu überbrücken, schaut sich die Familie ein Unterhaltungsprogramm an. Anschließend versucht Malla zu kochen, während Itchy sich mit einer Fantasiemaschine ablenkt.

Indessen kreist Darth Vaders Sternenzerstörer um den Planeten Tatooine, um auf Hans und Chewbaccas Ankunft zu warten. Vader ist vom Imperium informiert worden, dass der Millennium Falcon nahe Tatooine gesichtet worden war. Er war sowieso auf der Suche nach Han und Chewbacca, da diese auch für den Verlust des ersten Todessterns mitverantwortlich sind. Ungeduldig verhängt Vader eine Blockade rund um den Planeten Kashyyyk und lässt jeden einzelnen Haushalt im Umkreis durchsuchen.

So kommen imperiale Offiziere und Sturmtruppen auch zu Chewies Familie und stellen ihnen Fragen zu Hans und Chewbaccas Aufenthaltsort. Nachdem die Imperialen das Haus der Wookiees eingenommen haben, schauen sie sich Unterhaltungssendungen an. Lumpy schaut heimlich einen Boba-Fett-Zeichentrickfilm, später Die Geschichte vom treuen Wookiee benannt, und die Sturmtruppen schauen sich die Reality-Show "Das Leben auf Tatooine" an.

Inzwischen sind Han und Chewbacca auf Kashyyyk angekommen. Schnell werden sie von Imperialen entdeckt, die von Han und Chewbacca natürlich besiegt werden können. Nun kommen alle Wookiee-Familien aus der Nachbarschaft zusammen, um den "Tag des Lebens" zu feiern. Zu ihrer Überraschung entdecken sie dort auch Han, Luke, Leia, C-3PO und R2-D2. Am Ende singt Leia zur Feier des Tages auch noch ein Abschlusslied.

Die Geschichte vom treuen Wookiee
Die Geschichte vom treuen Wookiee ist der animierte Kurzfilm über Boba Fett, der als Teil des Holiday Specials ausgestrahlt wurde. Im englischen heißt er The Faithful Wookiee oder The Story of the Faithful Wookiee. Anders als der Rest des Holiday Specials wurde dieser Kurzfilm, der Boba Fett das erste Mal vorstellte, positiv aufgenommen und deshalb wiederveröffentlicht. Er ist ca. 11 Minuten lang.

Handlung
Han Solo und Chewbacca sind auf einer wichtigen Mission, um einen Talisman zu finden, den die Rebellion und das Imperium suchen. Dieser Talisman macht Dinge unsichtbar.

Bei der Rückkehr zur Basis, auf der sich unter anderem Luke und Leia befinden, ist Han bewusstlos und wurde von Chewie mit dem Kopf nach unten an die Decke des Rasenden Falken gehängt, damit sein Gehirn mit ausreichend Sauerstoff versorgt wird.

Er fliegt davon, Luke nimmt mit R2-D2 und C-3PO die Verfolgung auf. Sie landen auf einem Mond im Pana-System. Leia verfolgt währenddessen das Geschehen aus der Basis, bis der Kontakt bei der Landung abbricht.

Lukes Schiff wird von einem Monster angegriffen. Boba Fett taucht auf, rettet Luke und zähmt das Monster. Dann bietet er seine Hilfe an.
Zusammen finden sie das Schiff von Han und Chewie. Dort angekommen zerstört Chewbacca den Talisman und Luke wird, wie Han, bewusstlos. R2 entdeckt einen Schlaf-Virus, der nur Menschen befällt, woraufhin Boba Fett, der das Virus zu kennen scheint, ein Gegenmittel in einer Stadt auf dem Mond besorgen möchte. Chewbacca ist misstrauisch und begleitet ihn.

In der Stadt angekommen trennen sich Boba Fett und Chewie, um den Sturmtruppen aus dem Weg zu gehen. Zwar findet Boba das Gegenmittel schnell, kontaktiert danach jedoch Darth Vader und teilt diesem mit, dass alles nach Plan verlaufe. Diese Übertragung fangen R2-D2 und C-3PO im Falken ab.

Auf dem Rückweg aus der Stadt werden Boba und Chewie von Sturmtruppen verfolgt, die Boba Fett absichtlich mit einem Gewehr verfehlt, während Chewbacca sie trifft. Nachdem Boba Han und Luke das Gegenmittel verabreicht hat, teilen R2 und 3PO ihre Entdeckung mit. Darauf hin flieht Boba Fett.

Synchronisation
Die englischen Originalsprecher sind im Folgenden aufgelistet.

Veröffentlichung
Die Erstausstrahlung fand mit dem Holiday Special am 17. November 1978 in den USA auf CBS statt. Mit dem Blu-ray Boxset der Episoden I–VI von 2011 wurde mit dem Boba Fett-Film zum ersten Mal seit der Erstausstrahlung ein Teil des Holiday Specials als Bonus wiederveröffentlicht. Auf Disney+ wurde er im englischsprachigen Raum am 2. April 2021 veröffentlicht, der deutschsprachige Raum folgte am 18. Juni 2021.

Hintergrund
Teile des Holiday Special wurde mit Filmmaterial aufgefüllt, das für den ersten Star-Wars-Film aus dem Jahre 1977 nicht verwendet wurde.

Rezeption
Das Star Wars Holiday Special wurde von Kritikern und Publikum nahezu ausschließlich negativ aufgenommen.

Bei Rotten Tomatoes erhielt das Special eine Wertung von 27 %, basierend auf 15 Kritiken. Beim Publikum kam das Werk nur auf einen Anteil positiver Wertungen von 19 %. Die Nutzer der Internet Movie Database bewerteten den Film mit durchschnittlich 2,1 von 10 Sternen bei über 15.000 abgegebenen Stimmen. Der Autor David Hofstede nannte die Show in seinem Buch What Were They Thinking? auf Platz eins der "dümmsten Momente der Fernsehgeschichte" und bezeichnete sie als "die schlechtesten zwei Stunden, die jemals im Fernsehen zu sehen waren".

Für einige Star-Wars-Fans, die das Special sahen, war der einzige positive Aspekt der elfminütige Boba-Fett-Zeichentrickfilm, in dem die Figur erstmals öffentlich vorgestellt wurde.

This bond is much deeper than what was previously thought. Research has shown links at the cellular level deep in the brains, and the very beating hearts of mothers and their children, in every vital organ, and at the deepest mitochondrial level. Given that this permanent link is not only emotional, and spiritual, but also physical, how perverse and vile it is then, for anyone to set out to destroy this bond, which is at the heart of the very laws of God and nature!
Motherhood not only sets in motion this crucial human bond, perfectly designed for the survival and protection of the human species, but it also forever alters every aspect of a woman-emotionally, spiritually, socially and physically. Science has also shown us that it prolongs her life. God and nature know what they are doing! Who are we to think otherwise? Children and grandchildren need their mothers not only for survival and nurturing, but for their long-term health and happiness, so when women become mothers, they are naturally re-designed to live longer in order to fulfill those needs in fulfillment of this natural destiny.
Since children's cells are found deep in the cells of Mother's brains, it is scientifically proven to be accurate for a Mother to say of her child, "You are a part of me", and for any Mother living the horrors of corrupt, opportunistic misogyny separated from her child to speak as the French do when they say "Tu me manques" (You are missing FROM ME), rather than our more familiar American "I miss you". For our children truly are missing from us. And we are missing from them.
With some people today setting out to destroy this bond, we must recognize Maternal Deprivation for the grave physical destruction that it really is, for this holds implications so profound for not only the child and mother, but also that child's future offspring, on the deepest cellular level, sending ripples for later generations. Science now provides us with hard, scientific data on how it is so harmful to the physical health and well-being of both mother and child.
But it is also well-documented that children and mothers separated from one another, even by great distances, continue to share a deep, vital, physical and psychic connection. Mothers intuitively sense keenly the emotions, pain, and the need for safety of their children from a long distance, without being informed directly; Mothers just "know". We know to the deepest core of our being because Nature provides this deep, nurturing and protective bond for the survival of the human species.
And when once separated children and mothers reconnect, they share stories of specific instances in time when they felt very deeply the emotional messages from the other, comparing and verifying dates of thoughts and feelings being exchanged, because this profound connection at the deepest cellular level, is too powerful to be erased by anyone.

The Department of Communication Studies uses an online Research Participation System to manage extra credit research participation. If one or more of your CMS courses offers extra credit, and you are a first time student user follow the instructions below to sign up for extra credit research participation opportunities. If you would like to earn extra credit, but do not want to participate in research check your course syllabus or contact your course instructor for alternative extra credit assignment.
Click here to access the Communication Studies Research Participation System. New studies will be posted throughout the semester. Check back regularly.
Scholarly discovery and innovation depend, in large part, on the research methods used to obtain them. Thus, an exposure to research and research methods is an experience that is valuable to understanding the discipline of Communication Studies. The Communication Studies Department (CMS) encourages each student enrolled in our courses to gain familiarity with and an appreciation of the aims, methods, problems, and results of research. To support students in gaining this research knowledge, many Communication Studies courses offer extra credit to students who participate in research conducted by CMS students and faculty. However, no student is required to participate in a research project and not all instructors offer extra credit. Students should first refer to the syllabus and contact instructors to determine each instructor's policy on extra credit.
If the instructor offers extra credit, it will be listed in the syllabus.
Data collected by CMS researchers is studied without personal identity attached to it. Any identifying information needed to give instructors' information about a student's participation in a study will in no way and at no time be associated with any student responses recorded during the study.
Click on "Instructions for Student Participants" on right-hand navigation bar.
For requesting accounts, logging in, lost passwords, changing passwords, changing email address, etc.
How to see what studies are available, how to sign up for studies, and how to cancel, etc.
How to track how much extra credit you've earned, when extra credit will get added, alternative assignments, etc.
How do I log into the Research Participation System?
All students enrolled in a CMS course that is offering extra credit will have an account created for them. If this is your first time using the system, all you need to do is click on the link to SONA above; click on "click here to retrieve it" under "Lost your Password." Enter your UTEID (which we used as your User ID). An email with your temporary password will be emailed to the email address that you have listed with UT-Austin. Follow the directions in that email to log in. If you have used the system in a previous semester, your account should still be active and you should be able to use your old password.
What if I lost my password?
If you have forgotten or do not have your password, you may choose to have your password emailed to you. You will see an option on the front login page titled "Lost your password?" Your password will be emailed after you submit the form, and should arrive in your email box momentarily. If you provided an alternate email address, it will be sent there. Otherwise, it will be sent to your main email address.
If you would like to change your password or other information about yourself, choose My Profile from the top toolbar. If you would like to change your password (and the option is enabled), type your new password (twice, for confirmation) in the provided boxes. If you would not like to change your password, simply leave these boxes empty. If you change your password, please be sure to select a password you do not use on any other systems or websites. This is good computing practice, and especially important as in some cases, our password may be sent over email.
How do I change the email address where email notifications from the system are sent?
If you want notifications to go to a different account, you can provide an Alternate Email address under My Profile in the Research Participation System.
Viewing Studies: How do I see what studies are available?
After you log into the system, you can view a list of studies, by clicking on Studies from the main menu or top toolbar. If necessary, select "view all." You will see a list of studies. A brief description of each study will be listed, as well as any special requirements that may restrict your eligibility to participate in the studies. Studies that currently have available participation times (timeslots) will have "TIMESLOTS AVAILABLE" listed next to the name of the study. If no studies have available timeslots, you may want to logon to the system a few days later to see if new timeslots have been added. You may also select a specific date to view studies with available timeslots on that date. To view more information about a study, click on the name of the study.
When can I start to participate in research studies?
You may begin participating in research studies as soon as one is available in the research participation system.
What is the last day I can participate in research studies?
Each research study has its own particular starting and completion date for student participation. However, no studies in the department will have completion dates later than the last day of classes.
How do I sign up for studies?
To sign up to participate in a study, find the study you would like to participate in (see Viewing Studies in this documentation). Click on the study name for more information. You will see a list of any special restrictions or eligibility requirements, as well as a contact person if you have questions about the study. If the study has a principal investigator listed, you can click their name to view full contact details. In most cases, it is preferred to contact the person listed as the researcher if you have specific questions.
What if I need to cancel? (or what if I can't make my scheduled timeslot)?
If you need to cancel a timeslot you have signed up for, you can do this from the My Schedule and Credits page.
Choose the My Schedule/Credits option from the main menu or top toolbar. You will see listed all the studies you have signed up for, as well as those you have completed (see the Tracking Your Progress section of this documentation for more information).
Studies you have signed up for that you are allowed to cancel will have a Cancel button next to them.
Once you click Cancel to cancel your sign-up, you will see a confirmation page. You will also be warned if your cancellation might affect your ability to participate in other studies you have signed up for, due to pre-requisite restrictions. If the cancellation will affect your ability to participate in another study you are signed up for, it is your responsibility to deal with this issue (usually by canceling the dependent study as well). The system will warn you, but will not block the cancellation.
Click Yes to cancel your sign-up, and the sign-up will be cancelled immediately. If you cancel the first part of a two-part study, the second part will also be cancelled. If you cancel the second part of a two-part study, the first part will not be cancelled, but you will need to ask the researcher to sign you up for the second part again, if you would like to participate in it at a later date.
Please note: There is a time limit before the study is to occur, when it is too late to cancel. This restriction may be listed at the bottom of the page, or can be found by clicking on the study name and viewing the study details.
I noticed that with some studies, I could sign up for them again even if I participated before, while others don't allow for this. Why is this?
Researchers can choose if their studies allow you to participate more than once. Not all studies allow you to participate more than once.
I attempted to sign up for a study, and I was prevented from doing so because the study I was trying to sign up for is a disqualifier for another study I am scheduled to participate in. Why is this?
If you have signed up for a study that has disqualifiers (studies you must not have participated in to participate in that study), you may not then sign up for the studies that are listed as the disqualifier studies. You are allowed to sign up for the disqualifier studies if the disqualifier study will take place after the study with disqualifiers, or if you have already participated in (and received credit for) the study with disqualifiers. The easiest way to sign up for both studies is to schedule the disqualifier study at a time later than the study with disqualifiers.
How can I track how much extra credit I earned?
You may track your progress at any time by choosing the My Schedule/Credits option. When you view this page, you will see at the top a list of the number of research participation credits you can earn, and how many you have earned so far. You may also have an option to view how many credits you have earned for each course. Below that, if you have signed up for any studies, those are listed as well. In the list of studies, you will see information about your credit status.
How many points of extra credit do I get for each research study?
The amount of extra credit you can earn depends on the professor. You'll earn 1 research participation credit for each 60-minute study (or 0.25 research credits for 15 minutes). Each instructor determines how much extra credit one student can earn and how much for each study. Refer to the course syllabus or contact your instructor for the amount of extra credit you can earn.
How long does it take for my extra credit to be reported to my instructor?
Researchers are required to report extra credit in the research participation system by the last regular day of classes; however, typically extra credit participation is recorded within one week of your participation. The research participation system administrator will then report the extra credit participation to instructors before final exams begin.
When will the extra credit get added to my grade?
After the last regular semester day, we'll send a report to your instructor with your research participation credits for that course. Each course has a different deadline for submitting final grades, so your extra credit will get added to your grade at different times.
What do I do if there is a mistake in the reporting of extra credit?
The researcher must grant you credit. A research participant should keep the contact information of the researcher until the instructor has recorded the extra credit. If a mistake has been made you, please contact the researcher before the last regular day of classes to determine how the error has occurred and remedy the problem. Let your instructor know that you have contacted the researcher.
I participated in a study, but I have yet to receive credit. How do I receive credit?
Please give researchers a few days to upload participation credits. If it has been some time since you participated in the the study, please contact the researcher leading the study before the final day of the semester. Your instructor does not know in what studies you participated.
What if I want to earn extra credit but don't want to participate in studies?
Immediately after I login, as soon as I click on any menu option, I am taken back to the login page and I see a message that my authentication has expired. What does this mean?
Your web browser is not properly configured to accept cookies.

The first design studio is commenced today, introducing the task of designing an object in a bar. The students spend the morning with Kristof's, who gave us a seminar sharing his inside stories about projects he had touched on before. Many of the projects, he explained the computational algorithm and fabrication process that are insightful for understanding how complex geometries can be negotiated with real world constrains.
The design session is a hands on experience with all the teaching staff. Each group of students (2 to 3 participants) stationed at their own tables, while teachers walk around and talk to each of them. The first task is to come up with a sounding architectural concept that drives the definition of geometries, and from that, research on how to realize them. As our main theme 3D-2D-3D suggest, the main challenge for most of the groups, is the problem of translating their 3D geometry into production drawings. In another sense, we are inventing fabrication methods that is specific to the design, that could eventually turn their design into physical models.
The second half of the day we have the technical workshop going in parallel. With the help of example scripts, participants are starting to learn about different commands that Grasshopper/Rhino can offer. Some of the students are not able to catch up with the tutorial, and we decided to offer an after-hour (8:30 to 12:00) Q&A session for questions and hands-on help. By the end of the day, some groups have already fixed their concept and proceed to creating the geometry. Considering that some of them had no experience in architecture at all, they are making a very good progress in one day.
This is the first time I'm teaching GH from the basics. I realize that it is particularly difficult to organize the tutorials in a very precise order, from the extremely basics to smooth out the learning path. For example, very basics stuffs like: How to set a value by right click input, using sliders or type in the Panel? And of course, why would I choose a particular one. I think this is a problem that is general and common in education, in that the educator has to assume they didn't know anything, and start in a progressive manner to explain bit by bit.
One should also be very careful that the examples you choose should simple and proper: e.g.: Use a proper command to get the SrfEdge but not to plug Srf data to a Crv (It will work because GH does auto-cast, but is difficult for beginners to understand.) In fact I hate auto-data-cast, because many beginners rely on an trial and error approach to learn, and for those invalid operations which works for some of the time, they would remember the wrong trick and the next time they do something similar, and fails, it is definitely confusing.
I also find it particular important to have feedback from students when teaching how to script. Because of some tedious mouse-click routine on the GUI that some students might not intuitively recognize, you have to look carefully at how they click/type/Enter, to figure out where they got stuck.


Why Do Conservatives Hate Talking About Race?
Megyn Kelly finally asked the race question, more than halfway through Thursday night's Republican debate.
Many in the Black Lives Matter movement, and beyond, believe that overly-aggressive police officers targeting young African Americans is the civil rights issue of our time. Do you agree? And if so, how do you plan to address it? And if not, why not?
It was a softball question for Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker. In Ohio, of all places. Kelly could have asked about the shooting of 12 year old Tamir Rice by a policeman in Cleveland last November. Or John Crawford, shot by police in Beaver Creek, a year and a day before the debate. Or Samuel DuBose, shot at a traffic stop for a missing front license plate in Cincinnati, just three weeks prior.
It's about making sure that law enforcement professionals, not only on the way into their positions, but all the way through their time, have the proper training, particularly when it comes to the use of force. And that we protect and stand up and support those men and women who are doing their jobs in law enforcement. And for the very few that don't, that there are consequences to show that we treat everyone the same here in America.
Not bad. But it's not as if Wisconsin treats everyone "the same." According to The Root, Wisconsin has the honor of being among the five "worst states for black people." The state incarcerates black people at the highest rate in the country — 13 percent. Of its treatment of black men, 49 percent under 30 have been incarcerated, largely because of mandatory minimum-sentencing drug laws.
So much for the Republican discourse on race – about half a minute of airtime. Ironically, immediately after Walker's response, a commercial ran for the N.W.A biopic "Straight Outta Compton", a film about the rap group who wrote the song "F-ck Tha Police" in response to police brutality and racial profiling.
One of the issues that the public was very interested in, and we touched on it earlier, is race relations in this country, and how divided we seem right now. What, if anything, you can do, you would do as the next president to help heal that divide.
You know, we have the purveyors of hatred who take every single incident between people of two races and try to make a race war out of it and drive wedges into people. And this does not need to be done.
You see, when I take someone to the operating room, I'm actually operating on the thing that makes them who they are. The skin doesn't make them who they are. The hair doesn't make them who they are.
Now, I'm no neurosurgeon, but I couldn't agree more. We Americans, we human beings, are truly one and the same. But the wedge does not come from talking about race. The problem, pure and simple, is racism itself.
The good news is that for the first time, maybe ever, a majority of Americans are in agreement. Last week, the Pew Research Center released a study showing that 59 percent of Americans agree that "Our country needs to continue making changes to give blacks equal rights with whites." Just last March, that number was only 46 percent. Among whites alone, 53 percent agreed, up from 39 percent.
Interestingly, when looking at the Pew results, there is little difference by age or education. Nearly 80 percent of blacks agree. However, among Republicans, 69 percent agree with the statement that the U.S. "has made [the] necessary changes" for equal rights — truly amazing, given events over the past year.
But, thankfully, America has changed. After Ferguson, after Baltimore, and certainly, after Charleston, a majority of Americans has awoken to the reality that, indeed, we have a race problem.
After last Thursday's circus – and the near total silence on the race issue – it is hard to imagine Republicans retaking the White House. However, that will be for voters to decide.


Rickerbys has now merged with another firm and is now Harrison Clark Rickerbys.
I have worked with Andy on a number of successful advertising campaigns now. I always know that when I hand a project over to him it is a safe pair of hands and that he will come up with something which meets the business need exactly. The work he produces demonstrates his own brand of original creativity and sense of humour which I am always proud to 'put my team name to'. He is great to work with – has a quick brain to tackle issues without fuss and always reacts positively to criticism (which is rare) of his 'first attempt' – which usually inspires him to produce the best work he's done, on a second go!


MUMBAI/NEW DELHI: India will receive normal rainfall over the 2016 monsoon season, not surplus as previously expected, with the chances of a La Nina weather pattern emerging over the period seen as unlikely, three senior officials at state-run weather department said.
A forecast for above-average rains had stoked fears of crop damage during harvest, but with normal rainfall farmers can reap bumper crops. The June-September monsoon is crucial for India's rain-fed farm sector that accounts for nearly 15 percent of its $2 trillion economy - Asia's third biggest.
"Rainfall is likely to remain in the normal range," a senior official at India Meteorological Department (IMD) told Reuters on Wednesday.
Earlier this month, the IMD had forecast monsoon rains at 106 percent or above normal.
"We are assessing weather models and based on it, we may release a revised forecast next week," the official said.
Another IMD official attributed the revision in forecast to the absence of La Nina, a weather phenomenon that typically causes stronger monsoons across Asia.
"The La Nina is unlikely to develop during monsoon season," D. S. Pai, head of Long Range Forecast at IMD, told Reuters. "Even if it develops in October, it will be a weak La Nina."
A U.S. government weather forecaster has said there is a 55-60 percent chance that La Nina would develop during the fall and winter of 2016/17. The agency's expectations have dropped substantially since June, when it said there was a 75 percent chance of a La Nina developing.
India has so far received 2 percent lower rainfall than normal since the start of the monsoon season on June 1.
The monsoon, which delivers 70 percent of India's annual rainfall, is critical for the country's 263 million farmers and their rice, cane, corn, cotton and soybean crops because nearly half of its farmland lacks irrigation.
As on Aug. 19, farmers had cultivated summer-sown crops on 99.3 million hectares, up 5.8 percent from a year ago, farm ministry data showed.

V > VECTOR GRAPHICS > Vector 4
Thanks to Dennis Wingo, Vector former employee from engineering, for this information:
Historically, the Vector 4 can be seen as a transitional system, especially for Vector in the quandary in 1982 concerning whether or not to compete directly with the IBM PC.
The system shown below had a 6 Mhz Z-80 CPU and an 8088 "I think" also running at 6 Mhz so it would have been faster in processing than a standard 4.77 MHz IBM PC.
The I/O for the system was the S-100 bus but with a reduced functionality so that it was only used for the FD/HD card and other I/O mapped boards. The original memory was 128 kilobytes with the ability to add a daughter card that would extend this to 256 kilobytes.
The Vector 4 had a much better graphics capability than the Vector III although I can't recall the resolution. The Vector 4 originally booted CP/M and also had the LinkNet 750 kilobit/sec token passing network card as an option.
Interestingly enough by the time of Comdex in November of 1982 we had the LinkNet integrated to the extent that we could have 32 computers all linked together AND you could map ALL of the disk drives from the entire network onto whichever system you were working on.
In March of 1983 I did an install at Digital Research (inventors of CP/M) of a networked system and between Vector and DRI we implemented CP/M 86 that used the much faster 8088 CPU and had all of the same networking features that we had in CP/M-80 as it became to be called. If it had not been for some collusion between IBM and other parties, we would have had commonplace networking a decade before this actually happened....but that is another story!
Anthony Lefco reports:
This computer had a hard sectored floppy. Later a soft sectored model became available so that it was more compatible with prevailing standards. It also had an option to convert to an 8086 chip through an installation by TRW. It came with a full suite of proprietary applications.
This was my first computer. I remember it well. It was murder to figure out how to get the data out when it was time to convert to a new computer as the company quickly went bankrupt, but it did force me to learn about computers in more detail.

Zoonotic diseases don't have to spread
By Abby Bauer, Senior Associate Editor
People working on farms come face to face with potential safety and health hazards daily. While certain risks come with this occupation, many dangers can be avoided, explained veterinarian Dee Ellis during a Livestock and Poultry Environmental Learning Community webinar.
One such risk is the spread of zoonotic diseases, which are infections that can be transmitted from animals to humans or from humans to animals. Ellis, a research veterinarian at Texas A&M University, said these diseases can be spread though animal bites, vector bites, or fecal contamination. They can also be food-borne or water-borne, or they can be inhaled. "Mucous membranes, such as the eyes, nose, and mouth, are basically an open door for germs to get into your body," said Ellis.
The pathogens that cause zoonotic diseases can also be spread through fomites, which Ellis described as nonliving objects where disease agents hang out. This includes items such as equipment, doorknobs, clothes, and dirty boots, which Ellis pinpointed as one of the easiest ways to track germs where they don't belong. Organic materials, like mud, manure, and soiled bedding, are also a great place for viruses to hide.
Ellis noted that diseases do not occur randomly; transmission is a relationship between the agent, the host, and the environment. Ellis said that even if a disease-causing agent and a susceptible host are present, transmission can be prevented by properly mitigating the risk in the environment using best management practices.
"Transmission is not an accident; you have to have all three working together to transmit disease," Ellis emphasized.
An integrated risk management plan to minimize the risk of accidental or intentional exposure and the release of pathogens or toxins combines two concepts: biosafety and biosecurity
Biosafety is the measures taken by an individual to prevent infection. This includes actions such as hand washing and wearing personal protective equipment (PPE), and Ellis said employee education is key. "Make sure they understand the risks, make sure they have the right equipment to protect themselves, and make sure they use it," Ellis said.
People working in hazardous conditions should have disposable gloves, dust masks, goggles, and proper footwear. There should be access to soap, disinfectants, and handwashing stations. It is important to follow proper handwashing protocols and not use dirty hands to touch the mouth, eyes, or any open wounds.
Biosecurity is the action taken by an individual to prevent the spread of disease. On a farm, this could be proper cleaning and disinfecting of equipment and doing "clean" jobs first, then "dirty" ones. Clothes and footwear should be washed regularly, especially after working with sick animals, and again, PPE should be provided and utilized when necessary.
Ellis said farms should have clear biosecurity policies in place, and practice, practice, practice is what will make these steps become routine. He said a few basic practices can go a long way in protecting yourself and others.
