The Trudeau government's proposed changes to the federal Elections Act to block possible online foreign interference in Canadian elections has been given a passable rating by the Senate's legal affairs committee, which thinks the law isn't tough enough.
Still, rather than try to make a major overhaul or block Bill C-76, the committee approved only one amendment and sent the bill the full Senate with an admonition.
"The committee reiterates its conclusion from its 2017 report that the CEA (Canada Elections Act) does not sufficiently protect Canadian elections and underscores that more will need to be done by the Government of Canada and Parliament to address this concern above and beyond what is provided for in Bill C-76," it said in a report issued Thursday.
In that report last year the committee suggested Parliament think of passing a law authorizing the seizure of assets of countries that try to interfere with our elections, as well as jail time.
The committee's report came out on the same day the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security predicted that in 2019 — a federal election year — state-sponsored cyber threat actors will "very likely" target Canadians' opinions through malicious online influence activity.
The committee agreed with Democratic Institutions Minister Karina Gould, who testified that it would be almost impossible to prevent all forms of foreign interference during elections. She also said that Bill C-76 is just one of the tools Ottawa has to deal with possible foreign interference. Others include a special committee across a number of federal departments including the Elections commissioner, the Communications Security Establishment (CSE, the electronic spy agency), the RCMP, Public Saftey Canada, and the Privy Council office (the cabinet secretariat which runs the entire federal bureaucracy) to exchange intelligence on threats.
The issue of Canada's readiness to face possible foreign meddling in elections drew a number of sharp comments during the committee's recent hearings, including chairman Serge Joyal.
However, the committee decided not to hold up the legislation so it will be in effect by the time of the scheduled Oct. 21, 2019 federal election.
And while it heard officials from Google and Twitter complain about what they sare are onerous provisions requiring online platforms to compile a registry of published partisan and election advertising messages advertising during election periods, the committee didn't recommend any changes. Instead its report urged the government to continue to work with online platforms to ensure effective methods of regulating partisan and elections advertising.
–and by prohibiting foreign third parties from directly funding partisan activities, partisan advertising and election surveys. The bill also prohibits undue influence of Canadian electors by foreigners.
The bill prohibits any person or entity from selling advertising space to a foreign entity to broadcast an election advertising message. It also makes hacking with the purpose of intefering with an election a crime.
The committee said it is concerned that the proposed legislation will allow a foreign entity to express its opinion on a desired outcome of the election through various forms of public transmission. This could allow a foreign government or other entity to encourage electors to vote for or against a party or candidate by broadcasting or publishing its message in a newspaper or other media in Canada.
However, the report also noted that in his testimony the chief electoral officer speculated that section may deal with balancing the right to freedom of speech.


Does your terminology differ from your members?
We've seen plenty of knowledge bases/tribal knowledge centers/wikis etc…But we've yet to see many situations where members themselves would use this terminology. They usually prefer tips, advice, or information.
Would they call a live interview an 'Ask Me Anything' or 'Ask The Expert?'. Would they call it a product support chat?
Would they refer to content as news or updates?
Do they call their interactions knowledge sharing, discussions, talking, chatting, or something else? Do they even call it a community? How about a club, group, collective, team?
These matter for two reasons. First, it helps members find what they're looking for if the terminology aligns. Second, it's a signal that this is the right community for them.
It's a pretty simple tweak to make.

Crash scenes, trauma surgery, tearful testimony: "PARTY" a graphic lesson dangers of inattentive driving
Posted 10:03 pm, October 9, 2014, by Katie DeLong, Updated at 10:13PM, October 9, 2014
APPLETON (WITI) -- Crash scenes, trauma surgery and tearful testimony is all part of an effort to get people to make smart choices behind the wheel.
This party was set in a theater and featured actors in professional make up -- but the lessons are very real.
This "PARTY" -- or Prevent Alcohol and Risk Related Trauma in Youth -- is a graphic lesson on the dangers and consequences of drunken and inattentive driving from those who know it best.
"The bottom of my shirt, that's him. It says 'save lives, don't text and drive,'" PaKou Xiong said.
Xiong was convicted of homicide by negligent operation of a motor vehicle in the 2012 death of James Weiss.
Weiss was riding his bicycle on Kimberly Avenue when he was struck from behind. He died nine days later.
Xiong was sentenced to one year in prison and five years probation.
Talking to this group is part of her yearly 100 hours of community service requirement. She must wear her orange jail jumpsuit and a pin promoting the "Stop Texting and Driving Campaign" started by the Weiss family.
"I don't know what to say, sorry's never enough," Xiong said.
Xiong has spoken a handful of times and says, every time, it's difficult to bring herself on stage.
"I still do it because these younger people, they need to know. They need to hear," Xiong said.
"Texting and driving wasn't even on the radar 10 to 15 years ago," trauma surgeon Dr. Ray Georgen said.
Dr. Georgen says whether its inattentive or drunken driving, people of all ages need to know the consequences of getting behind the wheel of a 2,000-plus pound weapon.
"One mistake can lead to tragedy for the driver, the occupants and people on the road," Dr. Georgen said.
Instead of curtains closing, it could be jail cells, coffins and permanent darkness.
The annual event is put on by Theda Clark Medical Center, and it's in its 10th year.

MOUS Program Helps With Computer Skills
ani-asatryan
el-vaquero-staff-writer/" class="creditline">Ani Asatryan
El Vaquero Staff Writer
The Microsoft Office User Specialist (MOUS) program offered at Glendale Community College is a comprehensive certification program designed to train students in four Microsoft software programs: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access.
The program is divided into seven options, tailored to student needs. One may concentrate on Word only, Word and Excel, or all four applications at once.
The idea behind the program started by Sheryl Van Patten in the spring, was to better prepare students for employment in the high-tech working world.
After Van Patten's retirement, Diane K. Young, a Business Division instructor, took over as coordinator of the MOUS program.
Upon successful completion of the program, students receive certificates both from GCC and, by passing a test, from Microsoft, acknowledging that they are capable of using Microsoft Office programs. These certificates are recognized worldwide and verify Microsoft skills to employers.
"It's proof to an employer that Microsoft says I took Excel and I am competent of the software," said Young, who herself is MOUS certified. "More and more employers are recognizing this certificate and they are reimbursing their employees for the cost of tuition, books, and the test, to take the classes and be certified by Microsoft."
Microsoft certificates are offered at two levels: Core and Expert. Core is a basic skills test; Expert demands more sophisticated knowledge of an application. The test is offered in Microsoft Office `97 as well as Microsoft Office 2000. Core and Expert level testing are offered for both programs.
Glendale Community College is an authorized test center for the MOUS testing. "One can also get a better deal here," said Young. "The testing costs approximately $70, which is $30 less than at other testing centers."
The classes are open to any registered GCC student.
"I had a doctor who was a teacher and took my class last semester who said "All my students know how to use a computer and I don't," said Young. "It's open to everyone and many staff members here take it too."
"I came back to re-educate myself," said Ingrid Hassani, a second semester student at GCC. "I've taken beginning and advanced Word, beginning and advanced Excel, and the program covers almost everything you need to know for today's business world."
"It's a great opportunity," said Gohar Saakian, who is taking MOUS for her general business education. "I would recommend it to other people."
For information on test taking, brochures are available at the assessment testing center or by calling Ext. 5329. For more information about MOUS visit the Web site www.mous.net.

Review by Michael Randle
Columbia University Press, 2011; 296pp; £20.50
This study charts the success and failure of over 300 nonviolent and violent campaigns – aimed principally at regime change, self-determination/anti-occupation, or secession – between 1900 and 2006.
Overall during this period nonviolent campaigns proved twice as likely to achieve full or partial success as those that resorted to armed insurgency. This was the case regardless of the nature of the regime and its readiness to resort to repression. Moreover, whereas nonviolent campaigns have become increasingly successful in recent decades, reflecting perhaps a better understanding of technique and strategy, the success rate of armed resistance has declined.
The relative advantage of a nonviolent strategy, however, does vary according to the goals being sought. In anti-regime campaigns, nonviolent resistance had a decisive advantage. Where the objective had a territorial aspect, such as resisting occupation, the difference in the success rate was much narrower. But only in the case of secessionist campaigns was the advantage reversed, though the success rate of violent campaigns in such circumstances was also extremely low – only four such campaigns out of the 41 examined were adjudged successful.
Clearly a major difficulty in any such a study lies in categorising campaigns and outcomes. The authors acknowledge the difficulties and set out explicitly the criteria they are using. In regard to success or failure, they deliberately err on the side of caution, only judging a campaign successful if it achieves its objectives – or, in the case of partial success, some of its principal objectives – within a year of the peak of its activities, and provided it was clear that the outcome was a direct result of these activities.
Mass participation
What accounts for the relative success of nonviolent or civil resistance as against violent insurrection especially in face of repressive regimes? A major factor identified by the authors and other analysts is that civil resistance facilitates mass participation, which can cut across age, gender and social class divisions.
The result is more linkages and possibilities of rapport between the resistance and some within the ranks of those whom a regime depends on most directly for its power and influence – the police, army, administration and media.
Any attempted crackdown is then likely to result in disobedience and defections, and a backlash against the regime both internally and internationally. This analysis, however, comes with a caveat. If nonviolent campaigns fail to mobilise 'a robust, diverse and broad-based membership' they are unlikely to succeed. Being nonviolent is not in itself any guarantee of success.
Broader participation also opens up greater possibilities for tactical innovation and expands the repertoire of sanctions available, allowing the campaign to shift between methods of concentration (such as mass demonstrations) and dispersion (such as strikes and go-slows) and thus to have a strategic advantage over the opponent. And it is the strategic capacity of an opposition to deprive the regime of its sources of power, rather than structural factors such as the nature and ruthlessness of the regime, that the authors identify as crucial to success.
Official sanctions by individual states or the UN, and transnational grassroots campaigns can also contribute, as can a decision by a foreign power to stop giving support to an oppressive regime.
Armed insurrections tend to rely much more heavily for their success on help from outside in the form of arms, training and funding. This, the authors argue, may be because of the difficulty of involving large numbers in violent insurrection. However, they note that some armed uprisings have been accompanied by a mobilisation of the population and it is where this occurs that they have most often succeeded – for instance in the Russian, Chinese, Algerian, Cuban and Vietnamese revolutions. Even so the human costs of such revolutions can be appallingly high and nonviolent campaigns are much more likely than violent ones to result in more open and peaceful societies.
Radical flanks?
Some analysts have argued that the existence, or even the background threat, of an armed resistance produces what the they term a 'radical flank' effect, that is to say the authorities are prepared to make concessions to the civil resistance campaign to forestall the possibility of having to deal with a more radical armed opposition. If the threat is only a potential one, that may sometimes be the case.
But the authors point out that acts of violence by an armed insurgency may undermine the dynamic of a civil resistance campaign by causing those with a stake in the regime to close ranks and thus consolidate rather than undermine the regime's pillars of support.
Does the evidence in this study provide a clinching argument on purely strategic grounds for a fully pacifist, or nonviolent politics? Not quite.
The strategic choices and tactical flexibility of a campaign may indeed, as the authors maintain, be more important than the structural conditions in the country where it occurs, but there are situations in which so many cards are stacked up against civil resistance that its chances of success are slight, however well prepared and sagaciously planned.
To date, moreover, civil resistance campaigns have delivered, or played a central role in delivering, an end to colonial or foreign rule, the toppling of dictatorships, the removal of blatant injustices within constitutional democracies (as in the case of the US civil rights movement) and the reclaiming of stolen elections. They have not, however, delivered societies prepared to renounce lethal violence in internal and external politics.
The former communist countries in Eastern Europe, for example, have not disarmed or chosen to rely on the same methods of nonviolent action for their defence as they used to end authoritarian rule, and have instead queued up to join the NATO military alliance.
Nonetheless, it is important to recognize the historic importance of the overthrow and discrediting of authoritarian communism. And it will require many such advances achieved through broad alliances, coupled with continued open debate about alternatives, if something closer to the ideal of a nonviolent society and peaceful international order is to be realised.

Executive vice president candidate focuses campaign on alcohol amnesty, UPD policies
Media Credit: Katie Causey | Hatchet Staff Photographer
Spencer Perry, the SA's vice president for judicial and legislative affairs, said his campaign for Executive Vice President would focus on expanding intoxication amnesty.
By Jacqueline Thomsen Feb 23, 2015 12:29 AM
Updated: Feb. 23, 2015 at 2:09 p.m.
A sophomore who has served as a member of the Student Association's executive cabinet for the past year announced his campaign for executive vice president Monday, with a focus on expanding amnesty for alcohol violations.
Spencer Perry, the SA's vice president for judicial and legislative affairs, said he would work with administrators to make GW's amnesty policy cover an unlimited number of incidents. Students currently are only granted amnesty for one incident, which Perry said can discourage some students from calling medical services for a friend in need.
"There's a huge deterrent to calling EMeRG and being like, 'Hey, I need help for my friend,' because there's a chance that your friend might get suspended or expelled," he said.
He said most other universities already offer full amnesty to students who are treated for alcohol or drug abuse, and a policy change would put GW in line with its peer schools.
Perry said his campaign will also concentrate on the University Police Department's jurisdiction, which GW has tried to expand in the past. He would work to limit the police force's powers and model the department after Georgetown University's, where officers can patrol off-campus areas but cannot enforce school regulations.
He said current jurisdiction policies are unclear, which can lead to confusion for both students and UPD. Campus police changed their off-campus policy two years ago after multiple officers were disciplined for acting outside campus boundaries.
"The University right now has no special police powers off-campus other than what's allocated by the D.C. government already," Perry said. "We can find a comprisable solution that can both satisfy the police department unions as well as the University, and the D.C. government as well."
Perry said he will also look to improve sexual assault prevention policies. He said he has already worked as a member of Kappa Sigma fraternity and the SA to push for mandatory sexual assault prevention training for students.
"Despite a lot of the progress that's been done, there's still more to be done," he said. "I think that if we continue fighting for this issue, continue the momentum, I think we can become one of the premiere universities when it comes to the issue of sexual assault."
He said he would use the Students Against Sexual Assault training model, where small groups of students and organizations review University resources and policies on sexual assault.
He said he would encourage University officials to lead the sessions because it would give a sense of authority to the trainings, but he would still like to include a peer component. He added that he was still determining details, including how each student would receive training.
"I feel the best model for combating sexual assault is making sure people are aware," said Perry, who is a member of SASA.
Perry is already an active member of the executive board of several student organizations, including Allied in Pride, GW College Democrats, GW Student Global AIDS Campaign and Voices for Choices. He was also the community relations director of the Interfraternity Council last year.
Perry's work with LGBT issues began in his home. Two years ago, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of his mothers' landmark case, Hollingsworth v. Perry, striking down California's Proposition 8.
Perry, a political science and economics double major, participated in Model UN and speech and debate in high school. He said those organizations gave him experience in parliamentary procedure, the same set of rules used in the SA Senate. As executive vice president, he would lead the senate.
He said his work with student organizations has helped him become more aware of the issues they face, including obtaining funding from the SA's finance committee, and he would promote those issues as executive vice president.
"The best ways to advance student organization goals aren't just the issues themselves," Perry said. "It's also getting student organizations tools to actually make that happen."
This post was updated to reflect the following correction:
The Hatchet incorrectly reported the name of one of GW's LGBT advocacy groups. It is called Allied in Pride, not Allied for Pride. We regret this error.

Foodborne illness: the fork stops here!
2 hours CE
© {{currentYear}} Michael Foods, Inc.
CDR Activity #097530
Food Safety… Foodborne Illness… Recalls… Outbreaks
Food Safety is a concern for all of us, whether you are a healthcare professional or consumer. Foodborne illness outbreaks and food recalls are top media headliners, so the burgeoning concern for food safety persists at all levels.
We know that food safety is a"farm to fork" endeavor. Safety starts on the farm, works its way through food processing & distribution… and then finds its way to our foodservice operations and consumers' homes. About 7 of every 10 of foodborne illnesses are linked to food we eat away from home. At the same time, there are many complex factors at play from farm to fork. Many steps along the way can either introduce new hazards, or eliminate hazards. (For example, cooking food to recommended endpoint cooking time and temperature standards can reduce or eliminate a hazard.) Wherever the final step in the flow of food occurs, food safety risks take their final form. At the plate, we can always say: The fork stops here!
We won't be able to solve the problem of foodborne illness together in this CE program. But we WILL be able to take a look at what we know about foodborne illness… and how it's changing. We'll look at some headlines, and then step back to get a deeper understanding of what's behind them. We'll become informed dietetic professionals. Knowledge is power!
Upon completion of this CE program, you will be able to:
Recognize major foodborne pathogens and their impact on health.
List factors that contribute to emerging foodborne illness patterns.
Describe the impact of antibiotics and antimicrobials on evolution of foodborne pathogens.

Recalls & Headlines
You can barely watch or read the news without hearing of a recall or illness connected with food.
Take a look at some sample headlines:
Salmonella sprout outbreak sickens people in Minnesota (January 2018)
Gigantic cruise ship hit with foodborne illness outbreak (December 2017)
Salmonella and Clostridium sicken 158 people in Louisiana (October 2017)
Hepatitis A outbreak linked to frozen strawberries causes 143 illnesses, 50 hospitalized (2016)
FDA Investigates Multistate Outbreak of E. coli O26 Infections Linked to Chipotle Mexican Grill Restaurants (December 2015)
CDC: Salmonella Outbreak May Be Linked to Recalled Nut Butters (December 2015)
More Recalls & Headlines
The list goes on… but look at the recalls for Salmonella alone:
Chia powder
Chicken, Chicken entrees
Raw, frozen tuna
Serrano Peppers
Raw sprouts
… and much more
In 2010, we experienced a massive shell egg recall. Over 500 million eggs were recalled, and more than 1500 people were reported sick due to Salmonella enteritidis.
Foodborne Illness Facts & Figures
According to the CDC, foodborne illness is a serious public threat that causes some alarming statistics. Every year in the US, foodborne illness causes:
48 million illnesses
128,000 hospitalizations
The CDC estimates that 1 in 6 Americans gets sick from foodborne illness every year.
Outbreaks & Upshots
Results of foodborne illness can be devastating:
Morbidity and mortality. Distrust and anxiety among consumers. Long-term consequences of illness, like Gullian Barre syndrome or Reiter's syndrome. Suffering that we want to prevent.
While foodborne illness causes much human suffering—and damages reputations of food and foodservice organizations—there's more. Economic damage can reach anywhere from $6.5 to $35 billion annually.
Here is an example from just ONE outbreak of Hepatitis A:
Cost to society: $809,706 in damages
One food worker was implicated in the damage
43 secondary cases reported
Potential exposure: 500 cases

Burden of Foodborne Illness Pyramid (CDC)
Why is foodborne illness under-reported?
According to FoodNet, which is responsible for surveillance of selected foodborne illness outbreaks in 10 states, complete reporting requires a chain of events, as illustrated below. We know, for example, that people do not always report illness. When they do, it may not follow all subsequent steps leading to identification and confirmation of the pathogen and food source.
Flow of an Outbreak Investigation
The Burden of Illness Pyramid tells a story.
Outbreaks are generated from investigative information. How this information is gathered is reflected in the previous diagram. When an illness occurs, a seven-stage process begins.
The process of an illness being reported involves the exposure of individuals to the illness, affected individuals then reporting their illness, investigation of the illness, and finally synthesis of gathered information to create a full epidemiological profile for foodborne outbreaks.
Let's follow the steps for an outbreak:
Individuals in the general population are exposed to a pathogen
One or more individuals may become ill
Sick individuals seek physician's care
A specimen is obtained and submitted to a laboratory for testing
The lab tests for various specimens or organisms
A causative organism is clearly identified
Confirmed case is reported to health authorities
Shortfalls in Reporting
Given that reporting is sporadic and that there is not a follow-up system for foodborne illness, the long-term health implications are difficult to pinpoint.
Evidence and information have primarily been obtained through small case studies and individual cases. So, essentially, there is a gap in information. This lack of information presents a gap in our understanding of health outcomes and long-term consequences. With the attention given to the peanut butter recall, egg recall, and the many other food products implicated in an outbreak, renewed interest is being given to preventive measures for foodborne illness. To gain a clear picture as to what is occurring with foodborne illness, many factors need to be reviewed.
A big picture approach must be acknowledged to understand the overall implications of foodborne illness. We will be looking at trends and the health implications involved with disease attributed to foodborne pathogens, environmental changes, and consumer behavioral changes.
Current Surveillance: Foodborne Illness
Let's begin with some significant figures reported by FoodNet.
FoodNet is the Active Surveillance Network of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
infantFoodNet provides reporting figures and conducts surveillance on foodborne illness for selected foodborne bacteria and parasites. Viruses are not included in the scope of their work.
According to FoodNet, the scope of their work "provides a network for responding to new and emerging foodborne disease of national importance, monitoring the burden of foodborne diseases, and identifying the sources of specific foodborne diseases."
Current FoodNet Findings
As of the 2017 FoodNet report, non-viral foodborne illness was caused by the following pathogens, in order from most cases to least:
STEC (E. coli) non-0157
Occurrence of illness attributed to Salmonella did not change significantly.
FoodNet data shows that the overall incidence of foodborne illness increased 96% in 2017, as compared with 2014-2016.
Five Top Bacterial Pathogens Causing Foodborne Illness
Let's take a closer look at the top five bacterial foodborne pathogens that can cause significant economic and health damage:
Campylobacter is a source of foodborne illness that can cause paralysis. Transmission occurs through farm animals or pets, or through raw or undercooked poultry products.
It causes diarrhea, cramping, abdominal pain, and fever within 2-5 days of eating contaminated food.
The key points to focus on are the complications—and who is most at risk:
Children are highly susceptible
Complications include: carditis, cholecystitis, endocarditis, Guillain-Barre Syndrome, meningitis, pancreatitis, reactive arthritis, and septicemia.
Prevention includes cooking poultry to 165°F, observing handwashing protocols, and preventing cross contamination.
Salmonella is a leading cause of foodborne illness and is typically associated with raw eggs and chicken, but has also been linked to fresh produce, peanut butter, and other food sources.
There are many strains of Salmonella. Which strain causes the most illnesses varies by year; there is an ongoing evolution of strains.
Salmonella infections can have short and long-term health implications.
Compounding the Salmonella problem … many Salmonella strains have become antibiotic resistant.
An infection can potentially trigger reactive arthritis (ReA). ReA may cause swollen lower limbs and can be particularly painful.
Shigella causes symptoms of diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps 1-2 days after exposure. The CDC estimates it causes about half a million cases of foodborne illness in the US every year.
It is very contagious and is spread through fecal matter. Lack of attention to hygiene can make foodservice workers a serious source of transmission. This makes handwashing and hygiene practices extremely important in the control of Shigella. In addition, it is important not to let infected foodservice workers come to work.
Antibiotic-resistant strains of Shigella are on the rise.
Escherichia Coli - STEC
While many strains of E. coli live in the intestinal tracts of people and animals, some strains can cause illness. A variety that is often associated with foodborne illness outbreaks is called Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC). E. coli O157 is a type of STEC. It was first identified in 1982. It literally produces a toxin, which contributes to the illness.
Symptoms, appearing in 1-10 days, typically include severe stomach cramps, diarrhea (sometimes bloody), and vomiting. E. coli (STEC) can cause very serious illness, sometimes leading to hemolytic anemia, kidney failure, and death.
The CDC says less is known about the non-STEC strains, but says that overall, they are less likely to cause as severe an infection as E. coli (STEC).Children are at the greatest risk for illness and complications.
Sources of contamination can include ground beef, unpasteurized juices, unpasteurized soft cheeses, and raw fruits and vegetables, such as leafy greens. Prevention tips include:
Cook ground beef and other foods to specified endpoint cooking temperature and time standards
Avoid raw milk, unpasteurized dairy products, and unpasteurized juices
Observe handwashing protocols
Prevent cross contamination
Cryptosporidium is a microscopic parasite that can appear in food, water, or soil. Because it is soil-borne, it can be a contaminant on produce. It causes watery diarrhea 2-10 days after exposure, and symptoms typically last 1-2 weeks.
The illness, cryptosporidiosis, takes hold when a person consumes oocytes, the infective stage of the parasite. A healthy person's body typically fights off the illness in 3-4 days. People with compromised immune systems are particularly susceptible, and for them, the illness can become fatal.
Handwashing and personal hygiene are critical controls. Other prevention tips include:
Ensuring a safe, portable water supply
Using only pasteurized milk, juices, or cider
Peeling and washing fresh fruits and vegetables
Pathogens + Exposure + People
Food safety is a complex combination of many factors.
There is a three-part equation for foodborne illness to occur:
According to the Institute of Food Technologists, foodborne illness occurs ONLY when all three of these factors converge. For example, pathogens that don't contact people do not cause foodborne illness. Or, let's say a pathogen exists in food, like E. coli in ground beef. When we cook to endpoint cooking standards, the pathogen is eliminated. Once again, we do not have all three factors for foodborne illness.
The Institute of Food Technologists suggests that to tackle foodborne illness, we need to work on multiple levels. We can decrease pathogen counts in foods — and also decrease exposure through standard operating procedures … through our HACCP systems (in food service)… and through food-safe practices in the home. Because the problem is complex and the stakes are high, we need a multi-pronged approach to food safety. For example, in food service, standard operating procedures cover everything from purchasing habits to safe receiving to safe storage to employee handwashing to proper thawing to endpoint cooking to safe holding! Through these, we are tackling the pathogens, the people who carry and transmit pathogens, and the opportunities for exposure.
A Complex Issue
Scientists also offer insight into how the world of food safety is changing… why we see new headlines. According to experts in the field, "microbiological food safety is a complex, fundamental issue of continuing concern. Contributing to this complexity and the emergence of food safety issues are ongoing changes in demographics, geographic origin of food, food production and processing, food consumption patterns, and microorganisms themselves. These host, environmental and pathogen changes challenge our food safety policies and our ability to manage food safety throughout the food system."
- IFT Expert Report
Meet the Newcomers!
Two ongoing trends make foodborne illness a moving target:
New pathogens are constantly being identified. As you just read, an example is E. coli (STEC), identified in 1982.
The same pathogens we knew show up in new foods. An example is E. coli in spinach, which first caused major illness in 2006.
Listeria monocytogenes became a concern only in the 1980s. The Cyclospora parasite as a vehicle of foodborne illness was discovered in 1996, when it made people ill after being found in Guatemalan raspberries.
Behravesh and team provide some interesting lists in their analysis of emerging pathogens. They list many pathogens identified as being foodborne identified since 1970, including forms of E. coli, Listeria moncytogenes, Campylobacter jejuni, Cryptosporidium, Rotavirus, a prion that causes Creutzfeldt Jacob Disease, and many others. Some of these you may recognize from ongoing news headlines today. About 70% of these are sustained in animal populations, say Behravesh and colleagues.
At the same time, a list of 15 new foods implicated in foodborne illness emerged from just 2006 to 2012:
Bagged spinach
Pasteurized carrot juice
Broccoli powder on a children's snack food
Frozen pot pies
Canned chili sauce
Hot peppers
White and black pepper
Raw cookie dough (likely flour)
Fenugreek sprouts
Raw frozen scraped ground tuna
Contamination can begin early in the farm-to-fork chain, say the authors, and our food systems have become very complex. The global nature of food production also complicates surveillance and control. Say the authors, "Improving the safety of the food supply thus depends on stronger public health capacity around the world, better understanding of new challenges wherever they are identified, and translating that understanding into effective prevention from farm to table."
Antibiotics and Their Impact on Foodborne Illness
Many of today's toughest germs are antibiotic-resistant.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), "Since their discovery during the 20th century, antimicrobial agents (antibiotics and related medicinal drugs) have substantially reduced the threat posed by infectious diseases. The use of these 'wonder drugs', combined with improvements in sanitation, housing, and nutrition, and the advent of wide-spread immunization programs, has led to dramatic drop in deaths from diseases that were previously widespread, untreatable, and frequently fatal."
But there has been some debate and evidence concerning the use of antibiotics and the consequences of overuse.
Many pathogens have genetically evolved to become antibiotic-resistant. Overuse of antibiotics in the food supply and overuse of human medicine are contributing factors to this pathogenic virulence.
The American Medical Association warns about the overuse of antibiotics and suggests the need to educate providers and patients.
The CDC (2018) calls antibiotic resistance "one of the most urgent threats to the public's health" because antibiotic-resistant bacteria can make illnesses untreatable.
The Impact of Antibiotic Use
As the debate over antibiotic use continues between regulatory groups and public interest groups, the impact becomes apparent. The CDC (2013) says that:
> 2 million people in the U.S. become ill with antibiotic-resistant infections every year.
> 23,000 people in the U.S. die every year due to antibiotic-resistant infections.
Super Bugs
How does this occur and what is the impact? First and foremost the problem is global. Antibiotic-resistant organisms or "super bugs" are emerging worldwide, with the overall impact becoming a tremendous liability on public health.
The CDC says, "Every year, more than two million people in the United States get infections that are resistant to antibiotics and at least 23,000 people die as a result." They note that antibiotic resistance is rising for many different pathogens. They attribute this to use of antibiotics, saying half of antibiotics used for people are prescribed inappropriately. Antibiotics are also used for food-producing animals.
Steve Solomon, M.D., director of CDC's Office of Antimicrobial Resistance, explained in a CDC report, "Every time antibiotics are used in any setting, bacteria evolve by developing resistance. This process can happen with alarming speed. These drugs are a precious, limited resource—the more we use antibiotics today, the less likely we are to have effective antibiotics tomorrow."
The CDC estimates the economic cost of antibiotic resistance as "20 billion in excess direct health care costs, with additional costs to society for lost productivity as high as $35 billion a year."
Not all antibiotic-resistant bacteria are associated with foodborne illness, but some are, including strains of Salmonella, Streptococcus, STEC, and others. Of particular concern now is a pathogen called Clostridium difficile, which causes about 250,000 hospitalizations and at least 14,000 deaths every year in the U.S., according to the CDC. There is current discussion about whether or not this is a foodborne pathogen. Spores have been found in meat, but researchers are not sure whether food can be a vehicle.
Antibiotic Use in Agriculture
Not only have pathogens become resistant from overuse of antibiotics, there is concern about the use in agriculture. According to the World Health Organization, nearly 50% of the world production of antibiotics is for use with animals.
The USDA believes "…it is likely that the use of antibiotics in animal agriculture does lead to some cases of antibacterial resistance among humans and in animals themselves…" (Bottemiler. 2010)
The Infectious Disease Society of America says, "A large and compelling body of scientific evidence demonstrates that antibiotic use in agriculture contributes to the emergence of resistant bacteria and their spread to humans."
Here is an example of how the use of agricultural antibiotics contributed to pathogenic resistance for Campylobacter in Minnesota:
US approved fluoroquinilone for poultry (1995)
Antibiotic-resistant cases emerged in MN
Campylobacteriosis doubled within just 2 years
20% of the bacteria found on chicken in grocery stores were resistant to antibiotics.
Tougher Microbes
While we see the implications of antibiotic overuse and the impact of antibiotics in agriculture, what must also be taken into account is that this type of environment allows an opportunity for bacteria to adapt. Bacteria adapt by exchanging small bits of genetic information that convey resistant factors. Through this process, new and tougher strains emerge. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an example.
The World Health Organization says, "Antimicrobial resistance threatens the effective prevention and treatment of an ever-increasing range of infections caused by bacteria, parasites, viruses and fungi." They also note, "Patients with infections caused by drug-resistant bacteria are generally at increased risk of worse clinical outcomes and death, and consume more health-care resources than patients infected with the same bacteria that are not resistant."
What are the overall consequences of these tougher germs?
People become more ill
Illnesses are more difficult to treat
Hospitalization is more likely
Clean Habits = Super Sanitation
Although no one is recommending we change our habits of cleanliness and sanitation, many observers note that these habits carry consequences.
A book called Chasing Dirt, by Suellen Hoy (Oxford University Press, 1995) points out that as a culture, we've gone from "filthy" a century ago to being obsessed with cleanliness. This may affect our resistance to microbes. We have less exposure over a lifetime, less immunity, and become more vulnerable.
At the same time, the prevalence of antimicrobial products means that we are practicing a form of "super sanitation" that could potentially backfire. As an example, the product Microban® is added to consumer goods of all types, from kitchen utensils to textiles to clothing to flooring to pens and pencils, and more. Microban® is embedded in manufacturing materials and lasts the lifetime of the product. It is highly effective in inhibiting the growth of bacteria. But does the prevalence of these products encourage the mutation and adaptation of tougher pathogens? Some scientists express this concern.
Not more effective?
The CDC says: "Antibacterial-containing products have not been proven to prevent the spread of infection better than products that do not contain antibacterial chemicals. Although a link between antibacterial chemicals used in personal cleaning products and bacterial resistance has been shown in vitro studies (in a controlled environment), no human health consequence has been demonstrated. More studies examining resistance issues related to these products are needed."
The CDC also says antibacterial soaps do not offer any extra benefits over regular soaps. (It's handwashing and drying hands that counts.)
Many companies utilize Microban® to inhibit the growth of bacteria. This type of bacterial prevention is highly effective and provides a lifetime warranty. Many common household products utilize this type of preventative practice. Some products that utilize Microban® include: cutting boards, utensils, potholders, carpeting…even socks. Not everyone agrees on the impact of these products, and answers are not all in… but the battle of the germ continues.
Globetrotters!
What about our global society?
We live in a transient world that allows for international travel and international exposure. Dangerous pathogens can spread faster and further through food and people.
The Global Food Supply
While people traveling and carrying pathogens on their bodies is a contributing factor to globetrotting germs, keep in mind that the food supply has evolved from domestic to international as well. The food supply is inundated with international food products as well as internationally sourced ingredients.
Even ingredients for US-processed foods are sourced globally. For example, The New York Times ("A Multinational Loaf" June 16, 2007) reported that a loaf of bread could contain guar gum from India, calcium proprionate from the Netherlands, flour enrichments from China, beta carotene from Switzerland, wheat gluten from France… You get the idea!
Global sourcing means that safety is a complex issue, involving multiple regulatory agencies. It also means pathogens, toxins, or any problems in food safety can have massive reach.
Globalization & Exposure
Globalization of the food supply means globalization of the pathogen pool as well. Here is what happens when a global food carries a pathogen that can contribute and cause foodborne illness:
In February of 2010, Daniele Inc., recalled sausage that was linked to many illnesses. The pathogen in question was Salmonella Montevideo.
Investigative research traced the pathogen back to pepper that was imported from Vietnam. The black pepper was used as an ingredient and coating for pepper-coated salami products.
There were over 203 cases reported, with the illness being spread out over 43 states in the US.
Gould and colleagues (2017) say that 19% of the U.S. food supply is imported. They point out that "only a small proportion" of FDA-regulated foods are inspected upon entry. From 1996 through 2014, imported foods were implicated in 195 foodborne illness outbreaks, resulting in:
10,685 illnesses
1,017 hospitalizations
19 deaths
The Traceability Challenge
Another factor receiving intense scrutiny is the traceability in the food supply.
In the course of investigating suspect foodborne illnesses, one of the first steps for health officials is to match symptoms with a common food. Then they can begin tests and genetic fingerprints.
But what happens when they determine there is a common food…like tomatoes? How do investigators locate the rest of the potentially contaminated foods and get them out of circulation? The sooner these products are recalled and removed, the fewer people will get sick.
As we have seen with the peanut butter recall and many other outbreaks, this is not always an easy task.
Traceability has taken a high priority. Recent efforts by scientists are focused on reducing foodborne illness and focusing on traceability. One innovative technique focuses on using infrared spectroscopy. This technique for ground beef can differentiate between strains of E. coli within an hour, as opposed to conventional plating, which requires a minimum of 48 hours.
Marc Allard and colleagues describe the GenomeTrakr network, a whole-genome sequencing network of state, federal, international, and commercial partners developed by the FDA. It is intended to assist with tracebacks of pathogens when outbreaks occur, speed up outbreak investigations, and assist with recalls to better manage public health.
Let's summarize…
There are many factors that are in play with foodborne illness and food safety. In this CE program, we've examined:
Evolving pathogens – the "Newcomers"
Global pathogen pool
Consumer practices
A rising susceptible population
Traceability challenges
Advice for Professionals
The ever-present risk of foodborne pathogens challenges dietetics professionals to take the lead in food safety education. Says the ADA in its position paper on food safety:
As the food and nutrition experts, food and nutrition professionals must assume a major role in food and water safety education and research.

Destructive Shamoon Malware Attacks Italian Oil Services Firm
December 13, 2018 16:56 by Elizabeth Montalbano
The data-wiping Shamoon malware resurfaced this week at Italian oil and gas contractor Saipem, where it destroyed files on about 10 percent of company PCs, according to a published report. The attacks may be linked to Saipem's work with Saudi Aramco, a target of earlier Shamoon attacks.
Saipem acknowledged Monday that it had identified a "cyber attack on its servers," for which it's still in the process of analyzing and doing damage assessment. On Tuesday they confirmed in an update that a variant of Shamoon–malware linked to Iran that first appeared in attacks on Saudi Arabian oil firms in 2012–was responsible for the attack.
"The cyber attack hit servers based in the Middle East, India, Aberdeen and, in a limited way, Italy through a variant of Shamoon malware," the company said. "The attack led to the cancellation of data and infrastructures, typical effects of malware."
Italian oil industry services firm Saipem was the target of the Shamoon malware, the firm acknowledged.
Saipem is in the midst of restoration activities using back-up infrustructure to restore data and operations impacted by the attack, and continues to work with authorities on the matter, the company said.
Third time, no charm
The attack is the third time the havoc-wreaking malware–which wipes out the hard drive of computers it affects, displaying a message for victims–has appeared in targeted attacks on companies mainly in the Middle East.
The first Shamoon attack hit Saudi Arabian energy companies, including RasGas and Saudi Aramco; it compromised about 30,000 of the latter company's workstations but Aramco said oil production was at the time unaffected. It resurfaced in 2016, also targeting oil firms in the Middle East. This week's resurfacing of Shamoon also has connections to Aramco; Saipem is one of Aramco's main foreign contractors.
See also: Report: Major attack on critical infrastructure expected due to increased risk from IoT
Shamoon reappeared in an even bigger and bolder way four years later–again disrupting the Saudi oil sector–with what researchers at the time said was a carefully planned attack not just on the energy sector, but also other companies and institutions in aviation, government, investment and education.
The malware was just as destructive as ever in the 2016 attacks, completely wiping out workstation hard drives with abandon. Its manifestation to victims was different than previously, however. In these attacks, it showed victims a picture of the body of Alan Kurdi–a three year-old Syrian refugee to who drowned trying to cross from Turkey to Greece with his family–suggesting a political motivation for the attack.
The Shamoon variant connected to those attacks also used a Trojan horse program, Ismdoor, to steal data from its victims, according to security firm Symantec, who investigated the attacks. Symantec researchers also said at the time that there is a chance the attacks are linked to a group it calls "Greenbug network spy gang," which is connected to the Iranian government. Indeed, Iran is emerging alongside Russia and China as a leader in state-sponsored cyber attacks.
More attacks brewing?
This latest Shamoon incident happened over the weekend of December 8, with Saipem issuing its vague statement about the attack on Monday. That same day–likely not coincidentally–a version of the Shamoon malware researchers haven't seen before was uploaded on VirusTotal from an IP address located in Italy, the home base of Saipem, according to published reports. Other samples were uploaded the next day from an IP address in India, one of the regions Saipem said was affected by the latest attack.
These uploads provide possible clues that more Shamoon attacks are on the way, a researcher from security firm Chronicle told ThreatPost. Specifically, they have a hard-coded trigger date that's set for a year ago, on Dec. 7, 2017, even though the uploads themselves were new to researchers and hadn't yet been seen in any attacks, the researcher said.
The trigger date led researchers to surmise a number of things. It could mean that the malware was sent into the wild on that date but only recently discovered, the researcher said.
It also–a more concerning scenario–means it could be locked and loaded in advance of yet another major malware campaign. If that's the case–and if the pattern of Shamoon attacks continue–significant energy companies in the Middle East should brace themselves.

Q: Two divs in a column, both with dynamic widths. Can I force the bottom div to have the same width as the above one? Consider the following markup:

        Some text, there we go.

 has fixed height. Width of top and bottom is dynamic. top's content may be wider than bottom's content and vice versa. I need to make it so that bottom's width is equal to top's width at all times.
Can this be done with pure CSS? Or is JS neccessary?

A: There is a way to do this via pure CSS (courtesy of Artem Polikarpov (in Russian))

  long text that has to go on the next line blah blah blah

A: The #top and #bottom elements are'nt really related in any way, other than having a common parent, so me thinks you're going to have some trouble setting the width of one element to be exactly the same as the other element unless you place one element inside the other etc.
A quick jQuery fix would be :
$("#bottom").css('width', $("#top").width());

A: Isn't it what you want? http://jsfiddle.net/HgGjW/

A: Ok I have been fighting with this solution for a couple weeks and fine tuning it for the better part of four months. Essentially I use JQuery to stay on top of it and make sure that no matter what two elements are the same width.
JSFiddle
/**
 * Determine basic dimensions of an element

jQuery.fn.getDimensions = function () {

A: It is possible to do it with pure CSS. Set both element's width as 100%.

A: If your doing it that way, then I wouldn't use div's, I would use a list.

Dubai government considering Emirates IPO: airline president
Tim Clarke says there has been, perhaps a little bit more flesh on the whole subject than there has been in the past
DUBAI: The Dubai government is considering an initial public offering of Emirates airline, the flagship carrier's President Tim Clark said on Monday, as authorities work to boost activity on the local stock market.
The emirate's government is planning to list 10 state-backed companies on its stock exchange and set up a 2 billion dirham ($545 million) market maker fund to encourage trading activity.
"Yes, there has been talk about it. Yes, there has been, perhaps a little bit more flesh on the whole subject than there has been in the past," Clark said in an interview for the upcoming Reuters Next conference when asked if a listing was a possibility.
Emirates airline hints at introducing iconic A380s in Pakistan
"I'm waiting instructions as to how this is going to affect the Emirates Group. What the government of Dubai decides to do...is up to them, I would basically do as I am bid."
Emirates Chairman Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Maktoum said earlier this month that it was possible to list the carrier or its subsidiaries.
Governments have pumped billions of dollars into airlines during the coronavirus pandemic and state-owned Emirates has received around $3.8 billion in equity injections from Dubai, including $2 billion disclosed last year.
The airline posted a loss of 5.8 billion dirham ($1.6 billion) for the April-September period, down from a 12.6 billion dirham loss for the same period last year.
Emirates warns Omicron could cause 'significant traumas' for aviation industry
However, Clark said he does not expect further government support over the next year so long as the new variant of the coronavirus does not cause too much disruption.
"We are restoring our cash position at pace. So it is unlikely, notwithstanding the Omicron variant and its effects... if it's not as bad as people think it may be, then we see no further recourse to the owner putting equity into the business.
Clark said that although Emirates would still suffer a loss this year, it would be considerably smaller than in the preceding 12 months. For 2022, he expected the airline to break even or make a profit.
"I am very pleased to say we have returned to profitability already, over the last six, seven weeks, we've been profitable," he said.

Q: haproxy.service start failed when I set up load balancer on the same machine which serves the website I have 2 machines
192.46.209.80 # server1
192.46.209.82 # server2

I was setting up HAProxy load balancer on the same machine server1 which is also serving my website.
So now server1 will be running HAProxy as well as the webserver.
I setup Apache2 and HAProxy according to this tutorial
On 192.46.209.80 server1 this is my hosts file
127.0.0.1       localhost

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1             localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
ff02::1         ip6-allnodes
ff02::2         ip6-allrouters
HAproxy 192.46.209.80
192.46.209.80 HAProxy
192.46.209.80 server1
192.46.209.82 server2

On 192.46.209.82 server2 this is my hosts file
127.0.0.1       localhost

The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1             localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
ff02::1         ip6-allnodes
ff02::2         ip6-allrouters
HAproxy 192.46.209.80

then after installing HAProxy on server1
sudo sudo apt install haproxy

I edited and appended in sudo nano /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg
#HAProxy for web servers
frontend web-frontend
  bind 192.46.209.80:80
  mode http
  default_backend web-backend

backend web-backend
  balance roundrobin
  server server1 192.46.209.80 check port 80
  server server2 192.46.209.82 check port 80

After running
sudo systemctl restart haproxy.service

I am getting error

A: Since my Apache web server is listening on Port 80, therefore I cannot configure the same for my HAProxy.
Changed it to another port and it worked.

Eastern world
The term Eastern world means very broadly the various cultures or social structures and philosophical systems of Eastern Asia or geographically the Eastern Culture. This includes the Indian subcontinent (which is Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Myanmar, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Nepal and sometimes Afghanistan), the Far East (which is China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Cambodia, Philippines, Malaysia, Mongolia, Indonesia, Japan, North Korea, South Korea), Australasia (Australia, New Zealand). The Middle East/Near East and Central Asia are, as their names imply, often considered 'east' in terms of Europe
IntroductionEdit
An image of the "Eastern world" defined as Asia.
The division between "East" and "West" is from European cultural history. There is a difference between European Christendom and the alien cultures beyond it to the East. With the European colonization of the Americas the East/West distinction became global. The idea of an Eastern, "Indian" (Indies) or "Oriental" sphere was made stronger by ideas of racial as well as religious and cultural differences. Such differences were shown by Westerners in the scholarly tradition known as Orientalism and Indology. People from the East are known by certain regions in the West as "Oriental". During the Cold War, the term "Eastern world" was sometimes used to mean the Eastern Bloc, which was the Soviet Union, China and their communist allies. The term "Western world" often meant the United States and its NATO allies such as the United Kingdom. The idea is often another term for the Far East—a region that bears considerable cultural and religious sameness. Eastern philosophy, art, literature, and other traditions, are often found throughout the region in places of high importance, such as popular culture, architecture and traditional literature. The spread of Buddhism and Hindu Yoga is partly responsible for this.
Eastern cultureEdit
An image of the "Eastern world" defined as the "Far East", consisting of three overlapping cultural blocks: East Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia.
The distribution of the two major families of world religion, Dharmic religion and Abrahamic religion, highlights the religious difference between the Far East and the rest of the world.
Eastern culture has created many themes and traditions. Some important ones are:
Eastern religion, Eastern philosophy
Far Eastern religions
Confucianism — the belief that human beings are teachable, improvable and perfectible through personal and communal endeavour especially including self-cultivation and self-creation.
Eastern Buddhism
Indian religions
Buddhism — path of liberation attained through insight into the ultimate nature of reality
Hinduism — an umbrella term for religious sects native to India
Sikhism — A religion that developed in the warring plains of Punjab in an atmosphere of ideological clash between Islam and Hinduism. Its followers keep spiritual as well as martial qualities.
The Middle East, today largely the same as the Islamic world
Christianity — like other Abrahamic religions like Judaism and Islam, originates in the Middle East, where it is now a small minority religion.
Islam — the majority of the world Muslim population have always lived in Asia, due to Islam spreading and becoming the main religion of these areas.
Judaism — although not as much of a presence as it once was, Judaism still exists in Asia (see Mizrahi Jews).
Zoroastrianism, the monotheistic state religion of Sassanid Persia
Kampo
Traditional Tibetan medicine
Traditional Korean Medicine
