This chapter describes the occurrence and mechanisms of resistance in some of the bacterial species and some of the problems in susceptibility testing of these bacteria. Actinobaculum suis seems to be susceptible to penicillin, ampicillin, ceftiofur, tetracyclines, macrolides, lincosamides, pleuromutilins, chloramphenicol, florfenicol, and spectinomycin but intrinsically resistant to the fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides, and sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim (co-trimoxazole or SXT). Antimicrobial agents used in food animal production are excreted in active forms in feces and urine, which subsequently are spread on fields. Resistance to SXT might be emerging in Brucella. There have been only a limited number of studies on the antimicrobial susceptibility of Burkholderia mallei and Burkholderia pseudomallei. Most studies have found that Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis shows reduced susceptibility or resistance to aminoglycoside. Susceptibility testing of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae has been performed as both agar and broth dilution using normal nonsupplemented medium. Most early studies on growth and susceptibility testing of Leptospira were performed using different media supplemented with serum. Susceptibility testing of Listeria spp. can be performed as for all other gram-positive bacterial species. Numerous bacterial species can cause infections in animals and humans or function as reservoirs for antimicrobial resistance genes. Some of the resistance genes found in rarely isolated pathogens are also well known from the more important pathogens. Thus, this emphasizes that all bacterial species to some extent share the same gene pool.

An event in Detroit will focus on advanced and integrated technologies.
A global conference focusing on cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies is planned this fall in Detroit.
The Nov. 9 conference dubbed Integr8 is expected to draw about 500 manufacturing and technology professionals from business, government and academia. It's presented by Automation Alley, a southeastern Michigan nonprofit technology and manufacturing business association.
Speakers are expected to come from the U.S. Commerce Department, General Electric, General Motors, University of Michigan and elsewhere. Among the topics will be the "internet of things," where autos, refrigerators and even mundane objects like toothbrushes can be connected to the internet and churn out data.
The conference, being held at the Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center, also will include a technology expo, panel discussions and breakout sessions.

Guidry competes year-round, diving into swimming, volleyball and soccer, but her favorite sport fluctuates with each season.
She's currently invested in volleyball, a sport she first picked up as a fifth grader at St. Joan of Arc Catholic School.
In weekday practice sessions, Guidry is improving her hitting, jump serve and passing from the middle hitter position.
"Whenever a sport comes around, it becomes my favorite," Guidry said. "I just like doing things with other people and encouraging the whole team all together."
Head coach Meghan Ericksen said Guidry is a team player who continuously works to improve her game.
"She doesn't hold in errors, if she makes them, and she always asks how she can make a play better," Ericksen said. "She has a great attitude on and off the court and is making a name for herself on the team."
Guidry's blocking skills have developed nicely through pre-season practices, according to Ericksen, and hitting remains her greatest strength.
This year's volleyball squad is young, encompassing only three returning seniors. Guidry said a junior-laden support will help navigate early season challenges, and she expects the Lady Comets will end the year knowing how to effectively communicate with teammates.
Seniors aren't the only ones who have a voice in team decisions, according to Guidry.
"I would like to be a leader myself," she said, adding that goal is best accomplished by becoming a role model.
"Instead of making everyone else be what you want them to be, you can start with making yourself who you want to be."
With each sports season, Guidry strives to give her best effort with no regrets.
She'll stay busy swimming throughout the volleyball season with a goal to return to the LHSAA Division III State Swimming championship. Last school year, she advanced to finals in the girls 200 yard free relay.
By next spring, Guidry will return to a midfielder position in soccer.
During the 2018 season, she helped the Lady Comets navigate a comeback, ending in the second round of the playoffs.
Guidry plans to pursue a career in health and fitness following high school. She can picture herself working as a physical therapist, helping people recuperate from injury and surgery.
"Playing sports teaches you a lot about yourself, about your body and how to take care of it," she said.
Guidry is the daughter of Leon Guidry and the late Courtney Guidry of LaPlace.

France produces more fine wine than any other country in the world. In terms of vineyard area, it ranks second behind only Spain and competes with Italy as the world's largest wine producer. France's many grape varietals (including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc) are planted throughout the world and its winemaking techniques and styles have been widely studied and copied. The climate varies significantly throughout the country, allowing for a broad range in wine styles from many different varietals. Its soils and topography also vary greatly from region to region. France's most renowned wine regions include Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, and the Rhone Valley. In addition to their winemaking and varietal influence, the French have imparted the notion of Terroir, meaning roughly sense of place, throughout the wine world.
Bordeaux arguably produces more wine of a higher quality than any other region world wide, with 306,000 acres under vine and 18,000 producers. Bordeaux produces some of the worlds most expensive and sought after wines. Wines of the region are typically characterized by their subtlety, structure and balance. This makes for wines that have the ability to age gracefully for decades. This is a result of the climate of the region which is heavily influenced by the Atlantic and the warming effect of the Gulf-Stream. Predominant grape varieties include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. About 10% Of wines produced in the region are now white and the predominant varieties for those are Semillion and Sauvignon Blanc.
The Capdemourlin family has been making wine in Saint-Émilion for five centuries. The 30 hectares of Château Roudier is not only a stunningly beautiful location but, located on the southern slopes of Montagne and Saint-Georges opposite the northern slope of Saint-Émilion, is blessed with excellent sun exposure. Today, the family's several properties are under the guidance of Jacques, who admits to a philosophy: "Wine should have generosity, along with elegance, and the taste of its terroir."

Q: How can I tell that a directory is the recycle bin in C#? Given a folder, how can I tell that it is a recycle bin? I've found an answer for C++ but not for C#.
My first idea was to check for FileAttributes.System (which would be an acceptable approximation in my case) but actually that flag is cleared on the recycle folder.
Crude solutions using hardcoded folder names are out of the question (we're in 2009 after all).

A: There's a little problem here. The Windows Recycle Bin is a virtual folder and does not actually exist. The files that you see are not actually in that folder, they are the representation of existing files on disk that have been renamed to a special name, which "removes" them from the visible file system, but not the physical one.
You can "proof" this for yourself by asking for the folder location using the win32 API. It will return E_FAIL for the Recycle Bin, but not for other folders (see SHGetKnownFolderPath on pinvoke.net (and on MSDN) for all constants you can use and the declarations needed for this code to run):
IntPtr ptrRecycleBinPath;
// try it with KnownFolder.QuickLaunch to see it working:
HRESULT hr = (HRESULT) SHGetKnownFolderPath(
     KnownFolder.RecycleBinFolder,
     0,
     IntPtr.Zero,
     out ptrRecycleBinPath);

if (hr == HRESULT.E_FAIL)
{
    Console.WriteLine("No folder avaialable, virtual folder");
}
else if (hr == HRESULT.S_OK)
{
    string RecycleBinPath = Marshal.PtrToStringUni(ptrRecycleBinPath);
    Marshal.FreeCoTaskMem(ptrRecycleBinPath);
    Console.WriteLine("path: " + RecycleBinPath);
}

// for convenience, you can use the code above
// directly if you paste the follow declarations in your class:

// get a "known path"
[DllImport("shell32.dll")]
static extern long SHGetKnownFolderPath(
    [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStruct)] Guid rfid,
    uint dwFlags,
    IntPtr hToken,
    out IntPtr pszPath);

// known folder GUID declarations
public static class KnownFolder
{
    // many more entries exist, left out for clarity here

    public static readonly Guid RecycleBinFolder =
         new Guid("B7534046-3ECB-4C18-BE4E-64CD4CB7D6AC");

    public static readonly Guid QuickLaunch =
         new Guid("52a4f021-7b75-48a9-9f6b-4b87a210bc8f");

    //....
}

// results of COM invocations:
enum HRESULT : uint
{
    S_FALSE = 0x0001,
    S_OK = 0x0000,
    E_FAIL = 0x80004005,
    E_INVALIDARG = 0x80070057,
    E_OUTOFMEMORY = 0x8007000E
}

The fake foldername "$Recycle.bin" is repeated for each drive. The hidden name is not stored in the registry and it is not accessible by the API as such. The earlier suggested KnownFolderHelper will not retrieve this information either (the same lib has a named method for getting the Recycle Bin, it also has a GetPath, it will turn up empty).
But all is not lost. This fake non-existing "file name" or "folder name" contains a hidden file that looks something like "S-1-5-21-2703390745-3900912742-210389625-1000" (yours will be different). It's one of two "reliable" ways to find out whether a certain filename is actually a virtual directory of the recycle bin (the other way being: delete a file through SHFileOperation, explained here, and check whether it appears in the folder you have):
string [] entries = Directory.GetFileSystemEntries(@"c:\$Recycle.bin", "?-?-?-??*");
if(entries.Length > 0)
   // we have a winner
else
   // no, not the recycle bin

Note: I don't know what the hidden folders are on other win32 versions, you'l have to experiment a bit. They all have the system and hidden flag set and look like a mangled GUID.
The API docs are not very clear about it, but if you need confirmation, this page explains that there really is no path that can be retrieved (the older CSIDL related page is much less clear on it).
Update: alternative approaches with SHGetSpecialFolderPath, SHGetSpecialFolderLocation, ShellAPI.SHGetFolderLocation and SHGetPathFromIDList all fail with the same: either an empty result or an error. I tested all functions both for Recycle Bin and for AppData (to be sure I used the correct parameters).
Only the documentation on ShGetPathFromIDListEx said it explicitly, quote: "Except for UNC printer names, if the location specified by the pidl parameter is not part of the file system, this function fails.".

A: Microsoft's Windows API Code Pack contains this functionality.
To get the folder of the Recycle Bin, use
Microsoft.WindowsAPICodePack.Shell.KnownFolderHelper.FromPath("::{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}");

I've no idea what that string means, but it was included in the docs as the reference to the Recycle Bin.
Hope this helps :)

A: Most of the recycle bin related methods have been written in C++ as you mentioned. You could create a wrapper class in your application using the managed extensions to C++, then you will have to use DLLImport like this:
using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

class MainApp
{
[DllImport("user32.dll", EntryPoint="MessageBox")]
public static extern int MessageBox(int hWnd, String strMessage, String
strCaption, uint uiType);

public static void Main()
{
MessageBox( 0, "Hello, this is PInvoke in operation!", ".NET", 0 );
}
}

There are also articles out there that do this some other way with C#, most of them use PInvoke or rely on the folder having $Recycle in it's name. Following are a few links I've found for this subject

Live Event: Stop the Murder of Afghanistan
January 16, 2022by David Dobrodt in General

As the year 2022 opens, let us, all over the world, turn our thoughts not only to Martin Luther King, but to his mission: the establishment of a "Beloved Community" of all mankind. We must come to realize that the greatest disease threatening humanity is "depraved indifference," shown most spectacularly in the deliberate starvation right now, of millions in Afghanistan, "in the name of human rights." Moreover, if you let such an injustice happen to others, the same injustice will sooner or later happen to you.
Nineteen people just died in a horrific fire in the Bronx, New York. There were over two dozen previously reported violations at that building. Among the dead were nine children. But hundreds of thousands of children are about to starve to death in Afghanistan. The cause of the deaths of innocent children in Afghanistan, and in the Bronx, is the same: the cause is a depraved indifference as to whether or not they either would, or should survive.
Once, nations aspired to prosperity for all citizens; it was called "the General Welfare, of ourselves and our posterity." Now, because we refuse to stop Wall Street and the City Of London's futile attempts to continue their bankrupt system, mass death beckons, daily, throughout the trans-Atlantic world. We are told that, regrettably, mass death will be "normal;" it will be "endemic" in the form of pandemics, or war, or "extreme events." If that be so, that must be a direct result of our depraved indifference, because we could have treated the sickest in the world first, but instead chose not to do so, and still continue to choose not to do so.
We say "No!" to this pact with despair, and death. There is a plan, called "Operation Ibn Sina," designed by the Schiller Institute, to resolve the injustice underway in Afghanistan, and by that means, create a united worldwide effort to roll back the glaring injustices in health care and other areas. Releasing Afghanistan's $9 billion in funds is only the beginning.

Why Somaliland is east Africa's strongest democracy
"Though unrecognized by the international community, the country benefits from a strong social contract between government and citizens."
Drop a pin on a map of eastern Africa and chances are it will not land on a healthy democracy. Somalia and South Sudan are failed states. Sudan is a dictatorship, as are the police states of Eritrea, Rwanda and Ethiopia. In this context tiny Somaliland stands out. Somaliland was a British protectorate, before it merged with Italian Somalia in 1960 to form a unified Somalia. It broke away in 1991, and now has a strong sense of national identity. It was one of the few entities carved up by European colonists that actually made some sense. Somaliland is more socially homogeneous than Somalia or indeed most other African states (and greater homogeneity tends to mean higher levels of trust between citizens). For fear of encouraging other separatist movements in the region, the international community, following the African Union, has never obliged [to recognize Somaliland]. Nation-building on a shoestring helped keep Somaliland's politicians relatively accountable, and helped to keep the delicate balance between clans.

When Rich Places Want to Secede
At the core of Catalonia's separatist movement is an argument that a country's better-off regions shouldn't have to pay to cover their less productive counterparts.
As a relatively rich region with its own independence movement, Catalonia's not alone: A small set of secession movements in historically productive areas, most visibly in Europe, say they'd be better off on their own, and more are pointing to Catalonia's example to regain momentum.
The common wisdom used to be that separatist movements mostly came from weak minorities that rallied around racial or ethnic injustices. "With globalization, that changed significantly," said Andrés Rodríguez-Pose, a professor of economic geography at the London School of Economics (LSE). "Virtually everywhere in the world," movements have swapped out the "identity card" for the "economic card."
Inequality between regions is baked into the entire concept of modern nationhood—if subsidizing poorer parts of a country were motivation enough to split off, every region would have done it by now. Plus, there are economic perks to staying together: Trade is easier across internal borders, and diversified regions diffuse risk.

Catalan independence crisis escalates
"The Catalan regional parliament has voted to declare independence from Spain, while the Spanish parliament has approved direct rule over the region. Catalan MPs backed the motion 70-10 in a ballot boycotted by the opposition. Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy had told senators direct rule was needed to return 'law, democracy and stability' to Catalonia. The crisis began when Catalans backed independence in a disputed vote earlier this month. The Catalan government said that of the 43% of potential voters who took part in the referendum, 90% were in favour of independence. But Spain's Constitutional Court had ruled the vote illegal."
Stay tuned, sometimes the status quo changes in unexpected bursts.

Spain crisis: 'stop this radicalism and disobedience,' PM tells Catalan leaders
"Spain's prime minister has called on Catalan separatist leaders to end their 'escalation' as several thousand people took to the streets of Barcelona to protest at Madrid's attempts to stop a banned referendum on independence. 'Stop this escalation of radicalism and disobedience once and for all.' Catalonia's president earlier accused the Spanish government of suspending the region's autonomy after police intensified efforts to stop a vote on independence that has sparked one of the worst political crises since Spain's return to democracy four decades ago. Spanish Guardia Civil officers raided a dozen Catalan regional government offices and arrested 14 senior officials on Wednesday as part of an operation to stop the referendum from taking place on 1 October."
If you are looking for an example of devolution today, this is it. This situation has escalated as Spain and Catalonia's governments cannot work together. The referendum was (according to the Spanish government) outlawed but keep an eye on Catalonia over the next few weeks.
Brexit, UK, Great Britain, and England
"An update of an earlier sketch we did before Brexit, the situation has become a little more unclear since."
The difference between the UK, Great Britain, and England can be confusing (the short version can be shown on a map, but the long version is much more complicated than this). This is an amusing look at how these complexities lead to real-world complications besides using the right toponym.

Statehood, Politics, and Scale in D.C.
"Washington may be the political center of the free world, but its 670,000 residents don't have a say in the national legislature. What they do have is a nonvoting delegate in the House of Representatives. Eleanor Holmes Norton can introduce legislation and vote in committee, but she can't vote on the House floor. Over the course of 13 terms, the 'Warrior on the Hill' been fighting to change that."
Source: www.slate.com
If you haven't discovered the podcast "Placemakers" you are missing out. In this episode, they explore the competing political context of Washington D.C. Since this podcast ran, the citizens of the district voted overwhelmingly for statehood, but since the governance of the district operates more at the national scale then on the local level, statehood is not happening anytime soon.

D.C. Votes Overwhelmingly To Become 51st State
District of Columbia voters passed the referendum Tuesday with nearly 80 percent in favor. Congress, which will ultimately decide the fate of the federal district, is not expected to approve it.
Voters in the District of Columbia passed a measure on Tuesday in favor of petitioning Congress to become a state in the union.
79 percent of voters cast votes in favor of the ballot measure, which splits the district into a residential state with a small federal district in the middle of it for government buildings and monuments, as we have reported.
The newly approved measure had four parts:
agree that the District should be admitted to the Union as the State of New Columbia
approve of a Constitution of the State of New Columbia to be adopted by the Council
approve the State of New Columbia's boundaries
agree that the State of New Columbia shall guarantee an elected representative form of government.
Questions to Ponder: Why do the residents of the District of Columbia want to change the legal status of the District to a state? Why might some states and politicians NOT want to see a 51st state? What is needed in the United States to admit a new state (Puerto Rico is still a possibility to become the 51st state)?

No America, You can't claim Monica Puig's Puerto Rico gold medal win as your own
"Like many boricuas on Saturday, Aug. 13, I celebrated when tennis player Monica Puig won gold in the single women's division and became both Puerto Rico's first gold win and a woman's first gold win for the island. It was an overall historic moment that everyone back in the island basked in with full pride. I've noticed a trend on social media regarding the Olympics: multiple posts and tweets about how Puerto Rico shouldn't compete independently, confused as to why Puerto Rico is competing in the first place or that a victory for Puerto Rico supposedly 'counts' because it's a U.S. commonwealth."
Source: medium.com
This is good article showing the distinct nationalism of Puerto Rico and its political ties with the United States. This is but one of the many example of how you can link students' interest in the Olympics to expand their understanding about the world. Also, this protest of Iran's gendered spaces is another poignant article.

London Should Secede From the United Kingdom
Beyond the stunning act that has become Britain's vote to leave the European Union lies a deeper message: Democracy is not destiny, but devolution. Ceaseless entropy — the second law of thermodynamics — applies to politics as well. The more countries democratize, the more local populations seek greater self-rule.

In his book Connectography by Parag Khanna, he argues that connectivity and networks are more important today. Using those ideas, Khanna discusses London's options after the recent Brexit vote in this op-ed.

'Greater Participation for a Stronger Democracy'
Systematic Voters' Education and Electoral Participation program, better known as SVEEP, is the flagship program of the Election Commission of India for voter education, spreading voter awareness and promoting voter literacy in India. Since 2009, we have been working towards preparing India's electors and equipping them with basic knowledge related to the electoral process.
SVEEP's primary goal is to build a truly participative democracy in India by encouraging all eligible citizens to vote and make an informed decision during the elections. The programme is based on multiple general as well as targeted interventions which are designed according to the socio-economic, cultural and demographic profile of the state as well as the history of electoral participation in previous rounds of elections and learning thereof.
We are always looking forward to achieving the aim of building a stronger democracy through greater synergy with Civil Society Organisations, Media and Corporate Houses and even greater queries, suggestions, and participation from individuals.

Technocrats and humanist intellectuals in the Third World: cases from a school of development studies in Europe
Shanti George
Research output: Working paper › Academic
Development studies rarely considers in depth the career choices and inner lives
of civil servants, academicians and activists in the Third World. This paper draws on
life stories of twelve former students of the Institute of Social Studies in The Hague,
from diverse countries, in the context of wider literature on Third World intellectuals
and on identity in the late modern era of globalization. The paper argues against dichotomizing `humanist intellectuals' and `technocrats', and for a more composite representation of professional identities. It questions associations of economics with technocracy and highlights the multi-vocal nature of economics. Recommendations for
pedagogy at schools of development studies are put forward.

This guide records the new development that has occurred in the hidden crags within walking distance of the Mt Stapylton Campground, Northern Grampians in Western Victoria. Most of the better routes are steep bolted sport routes which are marked with (S). The rock is coarse with a similar feel to the Blue Mountains and has patches of utter choss. If you are climbing on trad then take extra care as many of these routes have had limited repeats. If you want to clip bolts then this area is a great place to start your Grampians experience. Leave your bolt plates at home - almost everything here is ring-bolted. To locate these crags from the car park refer to the map.
Access: 15-20mins, Late afternoon sun, Rain protected.
This is a large cave of excellent rock high up in the valley behind Stapylton Campground with an easy flat walk-in. (See: detailed approach map of walk-in). Hidden amongst vast amounts of choss this area features very steep sport routes on coarse orange rock.
From the Mt Stapylton Campground aboriginal shelter car park walk south east following the east side of a vegetated creek. A few minutes into the walk you will pass an isolated pillar of rock 'castle crag' with a few ok routes on it. Keep following the creek, walking along nice kangaroo grass and ferns for ten minutes until you can see a red cave above some large walls up and to the left. Try and locate some rock cairns and follow these up gentle hill. Follow left branch of 'creek' up small rock gully on the left side of the cave until you can traverse directly right across exposed rock to get into the cave. A RB is positioned at the end of this traverse to use as an anchor to belay people who may be scared of the traverse. It can also be used to abseil out of the cave when the traverse is wet from rain.
Right: Jacqui Middleton on the lower moves of the very steep Army of Ants (27).
On the other side of the access gully is a rock buttress. About 100m left and slightly uphill from the cave is this orange wall with large horizontal pockets. Scramble onto large ledge from the left side to belay.
Right and slightly downhill from Sunraysia is this wall with some obvious crack lines.
A small gently overhung amphitheatre of rock with a couple of good Blue Mountains style sport routes and plenty of potential for new routes. The orange wall is clearly visible on the hillside when driving in from the highway past the olive grove. Walk in as for Sentinel Cave (see: detailed approach map). After hopping over a big dead tree about 8 minutes into the walk turn left and follow small creek bed steeply uphill heading for the obvious orange wall high on the hill. Scramble up ledges and small fixed rope to get to base of wall.
Above Left: Topo of the Guardhouse. Above Right: Neil attempting the second ascent of Little George (22).
Named after George the baby gecko, that hitched a ride on a backpack all the way to Brunswick... causing havoc at Jac's place for two weeks before being returned to the Grampians! Follows left-trending line of four ringbolts in centre of crag just right of big scoopy hueco in rooflet. Stroll through delicate start just left of first bolt, locate the secret hold, and march your way to glory over steep juggy terrain. Double RB lower off. FFA Jacqui Middleton, Neil Monteith 25.04.2003.
Check out the video clip Little George (3.3 Meg, 53 seconds) - In the setting sun, Jacqui Middleton grabs the FFA. Jac's smooth, leisurely pace appears more dynamic in this footage edited to reduce file size.
Access: 6 minute walk-in, Afternoon sun.
Small featured wall on left side of track about 100m past Castle Crag on the walk in to Sentinel Cave. These are short trad routes on good rock.
Best access to top as well as an easy down climb.
