North Park University is a four-year university located at 3225 W. Foster Avenue on the north side of Chicago, Illinois in the North Park neighborhood. It was founded in 1891 by the Evangelical Covenant Church and shares its campus with the denomination's only seminary. The university enrolls more than 3,000 students from around the country and the world and offers bachelors and masters degrees.

In the later part of the 19th century, thousands of Swedish immigrants left Sweden and began to settle in America. As the communities, concentrated in the Midwest with hubs in Chicago and Minneapolis, began to settle and develop, many things began to happen that would pave the way for North Park University. The denomination that is now known as the Covenant began to organize in the 1880s and soon the education of Swedish immigrants, specifically theological education, became an important issue. E. August Skogsbergh (1850–1939), sometimes called the Swedish Moody for his association with the famous Chicago Evangelist D.L. Moody, started a school in Minneapolis in 1884 that would serve as a forerunner to North Park in many ways.
Nyvall Hall
By 1891, the Covenant was in agreement that they should formally establish a school of their own. Skogsbergh offered his school, which served as the official Covenant school for three years, from 1891 until 1893. In 1894, the school was moved to Chicago, a move that upset some, including Skogsbergh. It moved to its present location at the corner of Foster and Kedzie, despite its remoteness from the Loop. It was sited close to then existing Swedish-American villages and the newly established Swedish Covenant Hospital. Old Main, the oldest building on campus, was erected and dedicated on June 16, 1894. It is at this time that the name North Park was first used to describe the school.
The early years of North Park were marked with both struggles and successes. Both enrollment and funding fluctuated greatly in the early years. An interesting source of both money and headache came from P.H. Anderson, who at the time was serving as a Covenant missionary in Alaska. Taking part in the gold rush of the time, Anderson made a massive find. And though he donated a portion of the findings, questionable circumstances surrounded the claim that created tension among the leadership of North Park.

An early leader at that time was David Nyvall. He served as president and teacher in the Seminary for many years. The current seminary building, Nyvall Hall, is named after him. By the turn of the century, North Park could boast of a theological seminary, a prominent and large commercial department, a growing music department, and an academy created in 1894 to better prepare students for the seminary.
Since the early days, the school has developed and changed in many ways. In 1958, North Park Junior College expanded from a two-year college into a four-year program, becoming North Park College. In 1997, the controversial decision was made to again change the name of the school, and North Park University was born. Though North Park still holds on to its Swedish American past and close ties with the Evangelical Covenant Church, it is now a multicultural institution focused on diversity. North Park now proudly describes itself as a Liberal Arts University that is intentionally urban, distinctively Christian, and purposefully multicultural. North Park University is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools and the Higher Learning Council.[4] The seminary is additionally accredited by the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada.[5]
North Park's current president, Dr. David L. Parkyn, was inaugurated in November, 2006.

The North Park University athletics department fields 17 NCAA Division III teams: 8 men's teams and 9 women's teams.[6] The teams compete in the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin. Men compete in football, basketball, baseball, cross country, golf, soccer, and track and field. Women compete in volleyball, basketball, softball, golf, soccer, track and field, cross country, and rowing.
North Park fields club teams for men's and women's ultimate frisbee, men's rowing, and men's volleyball. There is also a healthy Intramural sports program on campus.
Although the football team has failed to win a conference game in the last 4 years, the women's crew team has done slightly better, repeatedly placing in national regattas. The men's soccer team has also fared better; in 2005, it successfully defended its CCIW conference title against rival Wheaton, earning their second title in as many years and North Park's first trip to the national tournament. In 2010, after winning the CCIW conference title, the men's soccer team went on to win its first national tournament game in the schools history against Hope College. North Park is also known as having one of the most successful men's basketball programs in all of college athletics. They have won five men's NCAA Men's Division III Basketball Championships since 1978. The baseball program has seen amazing improvements under new leadership by Coach Luke Johnson. Pitcher Mike Giovenco was drafted in the 2009 Major League Baseball Draft by the Minnesota Twins, and was drafted again in 2010 by the Kansas City Royals in the 14th round.

The North Park Student Association sponsors many student led organizations on campus. These organizations include the weekly student newspaper, the North Park Press, the yearbook known as the Cupola, the North Branch literary magazine, and Java Haus, the student-run coffeeshop in the basement of Burgh Hall.
The division of the Student Association that is responsible for the Academic life of students is known as Academics and Education. Academics and Education represents the student's voice at faculty meetings, plans fun and educational events, and hosts the now infamous Geek Week. It also oversees North Park's academic clubs, which include:[7]
Student Arts Organization
Psychology Club
Student Nursing Association
Red Hymnal Society
Tri-Beta
American Humanics (Non-profit Student Association)
Gender Studies Organization
Model UN Club
Chemistry Club
African Student Club
The Student Association also sponsors the Associations Representative Council, which is the umbrella organization for each of North Park University's cultural associations. These include:[8]
Black Student Association (BSA)
Commuter Student Association (CSA)
Korean Student Association (KSA)
Latin American Student Organization (LASO)
Middle Eastern Student Association (MESA)
Scandinavian Student Association (SSA)
The North Park Press
The primary function of the North Park Press is to serve as a medium in which general campus news, and other relevant information to the university community, is communicated to the student body, staff and alumni. A version of the NP Press is available online [1] and as of the spring semester of 2010 opened a dedicated news website.[2]
The Press has seven sections: Arts & Entertainment, Business, Campus, Local, Nation/World, Opinion (a section for opinionated articles by students and staff), and Sports (updates on sports news for NP). While the newspaper is published under the guidance of a Faculty Advisor and the Dean of Students, it is designed and edited by a small team of student journalists. The Press is owned and operated by the Student Association of North Park University.
Students are invited to submit timely articles pertinent to the issues and discourse revolving around the North Park community.

North Park's Swedish-American identity is evident in many different ways. The Swedish–American Historical Society Archives are administered in Chicago by North Park University's Brandel Library. The Center for Scandinavian Studies at North Park is the legal trustee.
One annual tradition is the Santa Lucia Festival, held each December in Anderson Chapel. The service follows many Swedish traditions and is one of the few Santa Lucia Festivals held in the Chicago area. There is also an exchange program with Södra Vätterbygdens Folkhögskola in Jönköping, Sweden.
The men's soccer team are blessed with some of the most dedicated fans in the entire country when it comes to College soccer. Calling themselves Foster's Finest, they are with their big numbers, great songs and crazy devotion shown through banners and body paintings always the 12th player of the soccer team.
Another annual tradition is the cafeteria's Thanksgiving dinner. This all-campus event is an opportunity for students to come a receive a free Thanksgiving meal served by both the college's administration and the Residence Life staff.

Any opportunity you could possibly develop at any time of your day? Anything that does not take considerably time, in the end, you have a hectic daily life and do not have time to build something that demands plenty of time and money on-line? We've the ideal option for you personally! Operate answering paid surveys, or paid surveys? That's what you have just study, answering surveys that commonly take lower than 15 minutes and even now earning profits is one thing true, uncomplicated and lucrative. But how does this on the web search market place work and why do they pay out us to respond to surveys?
Very first of all, you'll need to understand what a market study is for. All businesses whenever they start developing and even established in the market place, should innovate, build new products, enhance existing ones and do whatever it requires to win and continue to keep prospects. Right? All information and facts with regards to the solutions marketed, preferences and day by day consumer information is quite precious for corporations, as they will be acquiring information from the client public itself and accomplishing analyzes where they could be a stage ahead in the competition. How many occasions have you answered any industry research with the streets or even in shops, supermarkets that you simply go to? Surely quite a few.
To begin earning with paid surveys, you have to make your complete registration over the web-sites that provide this support, the far more total your registration, the better the chances of you getting picked and receiving requests each day. The firms choose the candidates in accordance with the profile, fill in their full title and, if necessary, verify their electronic mail. Think neat, get excellent funds just by responding to surveys about your profile and matters you like. There are lots of excellent web sites but in addition lots of undesirable web-sites, so it is actually crucial to study in advance of investing your time by answering the surveys. Below we'll indicate some.
It's no cost As an alternative to having to make some investment, companies spend you for the contribution and time. If some firm expenses you to participate, skip out, it truly is most likely a blow. Won't call for a lot time This can be one of the excellent benefits of individuals that get the job done with paid surveys. The probability of obtaining an extra earnings executing a task that does not require a great deal of time is really a element that must be taken into consideration. Normally answering a survey requires close to 10 to 20 minutes on the most, that means everyone can do, even these people that perform extra than 8 hrs per day get a very little time off and may use it to earn some more income!
Earn revenue or prizes Besides the probability of earning profits, you may have the possibility to win prizes. Some internet sites close partnerships with significant merchants and manage to offer products to some values a great deal more in account than from the shop itself. Moreover, there are a few plans that give bonuses when meeting some ambitions within the system itself! It really is worth checking!
No need to disclose One of the great rewards of working to answer paid surveys is you do not should divulge the process to earn money from surveys, there are a few programs that pay you to divulge and get extra customers, but that just by answering the surveys you may already earn enough.

How the Security Enterprise Agreement on GEMSS Secures the Army
Learn how to get to the next level of security maturity.
Perimeters have disintegrated. Boundaries have blurred. It's hard to say where a network begins and ends – because it doesn't. BYOD, IoT, APIs and a host of other acronyms have changed the way we compute. And the way we defend our computing … well, castle-and-moat cybersecurity doesn't work when there's no moat.
Modern cybersecurity has to be scalable and flexible. This need is codified in Executive Order (EO) 14028, "Improving the Nation's Cybersecurity," which requires agencies to adopt Zero Trust architectures. In response to this EO, the Cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Alliance (CISA) has provided guidance to help government organizations build security architectures that work reliably, even in dynamic networks.
CISA's guidance stresses the need for Zero Trust architecture. Zero Trust is the current gold standard for the defense of a distributed computing environment, so commands seeking to modernize their network architecture should be evaluating Zero Trust solutions as they plan their journey.
What you need to know about Zero Trust
Zero Trust is a network architecture that assumes no user or device can be trusted. Legacy cybersecurity solutions focused solely on controlling access to the network. Defenses were located on the perimeters – but once inside, an entity could move fairly freely.
Bad actors took advantage of this by planning attacks that leveraged lateral movement, where they entered through a weak point, often acquired by stealing credentials from a legitimate user. They then moved deeper into the network in search of valuable information – the payload.
Zero Trust is intended to thwart this technique by wrapping each asset in its own security policy and authenticating every entity before allowing access to the asset. It's similar to visiting the Pentagon. Anyone can get into the lobby, but only some people are badged into the outer offices, fewer into the inner offices, and only the most essential personnel into a SCIF (sensitive compartmented information facility).
What does Zero Trust mean for the Army?
Zero Trust is a high-priority initiative in the Army's Digital Modernization Strategy, intended to support dependable mission execution in an environment of escalating cyber threats. The foundation for Zero Trust is already in place, according to Maj. Gen. Matthew Easley, director for cybersecurity and CISO in the office of the Army CIO, but there is still work to be done. The goal, Easley said, "is to develop the capabilities to improve that [foundation], to really be able to use that technology to increase the way we defend our networks."
Zero Trust supports the Army's mission to overmatch in multi-domain battlespaces. It secures data without eroding accessibility, so warfighters and staff can communicate safely and acquire information when they need it, where they need it. Paul Puckett, principal cloud strategy advisor to the CIO/G-6 and other senior Army leaders, said, "In order for us to compete and fight, we need to be able to share data from the foxhole to the enterprise and back." No other security architecture has been able to reliably provide this critical capability.
Commands seeking direction on prioritizing a Zero Trust implementation should look to CISA for guidance.
The path to Zero Trust maturity
The CISA Zero Trust Maturity model defines a path to achieving Zero Trust and provides the means to periodically assess progress. In broad terms, organizations should constantly be moving toward automating as much network management as possible, integrating security across the pillars, and implementing dynamic security policy enforcement. The order and extent to which these steps are accomplished will be different for different commands. Still, at a high level, CISA defines three categories of maturity: traditional, advanced and optimal.
Traditional is where everyone was a few years ago – manual configurations, static security policies, inflexible policy enforcement, manual incident response, etc. Manual processes are the source of most breaches and are also extremely inefficient, so commands should be striving to automate as much as possible. As of today, most commands have automated some functions but not all.
The advanced level focuses largely on centralizing management. That's why automation is so important: manual processes tend to record data in spreadsheets, which are then stored in discrete repositories. There is no big picture available. Advanced organizations that have automated a majority of their network functions can centralize the management of visibility, identity control, policy enforcement, and more, which means that insights can be captured, threat trends recognized and decisions made with greater speed.
The pinnacle of maturity is the optimal level. At this stage, full automation is achieved. All policy management is automated. Dynamic, open standards are in use, so interoperability between systems is the norm. And visibility is complete enough to capture point-in-time recollection of state, which speeds the process of forensic investigation, incident response, and mitigation.
Achieving optimal CISA maturity through Security EA
In an optimal state of Zero Trust, security is focused on five pillars and how each one accesses information. The five pillars are:
Identity - Identities are continuously validated and subjected to real-time machine learning analysis.
Devices - Devices are constantly monitored and validated.
Network and environments - Networks and environments are set up with micro-perimeters, all traffic is encrypted and machine-enabled threat protection is in effect.
Application workloads - Application workloads are authorized continuously, and security is integrated into each workload.
Data - All data is encrypted.
Building a modern network around these five pillars can seem overwhelming at first glance. But the technology and expertise necessary to improve maturity are available to every command through an innovative, pre-paid contract called the Cisco Security Enterprise Agreement (Security EA).
Security EA provides access to software across tech portfolios. It supports financial predictability through a "not to exceed" pricing guarantee and provides access to new software capabilities as they are released. The Security EA also delivers visibility into all licenses procured, deployed, and up for renewal.
Solutions available through Security EA include:
AnyConnect - Secures endpoint access to the enterprise network and apps through multi-factor authentication (MFA), dynamic trust, adaptive authentication, and secure single sign-on (SSO). AnyConnect is managed with other Cisco solutions through a single pane of glass, which supports the CISA advanced maturity level.
Identity Services Engine (ISE) - A security policy management solution that delivers visibility into who and what is on the network and enables access control across wired, wireless VPN and 5G networks. It also provides contextual data that helps identify potential threats and vulnerabilities and can be fed into any security solution offered by Cisco's technology partners.
Umbrella Roaming - Protects users even when they're off the VPN. This cloud-delivered service provides security without the need to install or manage additional agents. Users are protected from malware, phishing and command-and-control attacks, no matter where they are located.
With Security EA, users get easier budgeting and planning through co-term licensing and usage-based allocation and management. License usage is optimized through the ability to integrate and track sites as renewals arise.
Security EA has a five-year term, a time frame determined by the DoD to be an ambitious pace at which to achieve Zero Trust but a realistic one. John Sherman, DoD CIO, said, "the adversary capability we're facing leaves us no choice but to move at that level of pace."
The Army's Cisco inventory is already strong
The Army already has contracts in place for Cisco hardware and software, as well as access to a deep bench of Cisco support, consulting and training services.
The Army's portfolio of Cisco software includes DNA Advantage SD-WAN, Switching, Wireless and Secure Remote Worker, all of which are essential technologies for the network segmentation and prioritization at the heart of Zero Trust. Other solutions include Cisco Firepower Threat Defense, Secure Network Analytics, Cisco Workload and more. These solutions all work together to support optimal CISA maturity.
Full-time, on-site resources for CONUS and OCONUS, high-touch technical and operations management and triage support are also on tap for Army projects. Army personnel can up their skills through access to Cisco's Digital Learning Library, Cisco Network Academy and Cisco Live.
Helping the Army with security needs
Security EA is available through the Global Enterprise Modernization Software and Services (GEMSS) agreement, which is a procurement vehicle developed to help the Army meet its network transformation goals.
GEMSS expands Army access to technical services, including unlimited software licenses for Cisco routing, switching, wireless technology and other foundational technologies essential to building Zero Trust architectures.
As a DoD prime contractor, WWT helps Army technology leaders understand what is needed, what is already in their environment and how to implement the next level of maturity by administering GEMSS to support Army needs and goals.

Certain ideas of Europe
Ukraine wins the consolation prize, for now
IT SHOULD come as no great surprise that the European Union (EU) has decided to offer Ukraine a consolation prize, proposing an "association agreement" rather than a clear path to membership in the near term. Ukrainian officials are said to be disappointed. They should not be shocked. Yet if the new agreement opens trade opportunities and the potential for perks such as visa-free travel in future, it looks like a step in the right direction.
EU enlargement has, for the most part, been a great achievement. By embracing countries to the east and south, the countries of "old Europe" have helped neighbours stabilise and encouraged democratic reforms. Enlargement has not been an overwhelmingly popular policy, and it has not been trouble-free. Bumps in the road with Bulgaria and Romania have convinced many diplomats that leverage is better exerted before states become members, rather than afterward. They are right to be tough in negotiating terms of entry. But the general thrust toward enlargement has been sound.
Ukraine—because of its size, location, history, economic potential, and largely pro-Western government—is an attractive potential EU member sometime in the future. The Economist noted in a leader several month ago,
It is as much a part of Europe as Bulgaria, and arguably more so than Turkey. Although many Ukrainians have doubts about joining NATO, almost all—even in the Russian-speaking east of the country—want to get into the EU. If Ukraine were kept out, it could easily fall back under the sway of a newly resurgent Russia; and the knock-on effects for other vulnerable places, such as Georgia and Moldova, could be serious. If, on the contrary, it were welcomed as a candidate, that would hugely encourage liberals who hope to bring proper democracy to Russia as well. It is high time that western Europe's political leaders began explaining to their voters just why both past and future enlargement of the EU is so much in their own interests.
But the events of recent weeks, including Russia's heightened aggression in the region and the crisis within Ukraine's own government, will give many pause over forging more formal ties with this state in the old Soviet sphere of influence. Offering full EU membership now would have been a risky choice. Yet recent events should underscore the importance of letting Ukraine know who its supporters are. The newly concluded agreement, while not the sure path to membership that Ukrainian officials had hoped for (and may not get for a decade), is an opportunity to be embraced by both sides.

Q: cmd's character set C:\Users\Kolink>php -r "echo 'é';"
Ú

C:\Users\Kolink>echo é
é

As you can see, a program outputting an é results in a Ú, but using the echo command gives the desired character.
And, can I configure PHP (maybe some command at the start of the script) to output the correct character?

A: CMD.exe works in a different codepage than PHP. By the way, it is also a different codepage than the default Windows codepage. This is for compatibility with older MS-DOS programs. In my country Windows uses Windows-1250 and cmd.exe uses DOS Latin2. I suppose in the UK this would be Windows-1252 and DOS Latin1 respectively.
To get the same results you have to use the same codepage in PHP and in cmd.exe. Check what codepage is used by PHP and set cmd.exe to the same codepage. To do this, use the following command: mode con cp select=<codepagenumber> or chcp <codepagenumber>. This will change the codepage only for the current instance of cmd.exe.
Here is a short list of some typical codepages and their numbers:
DOS Latin1    850
DOS Latin2    852
Windows-1250  1250
Windows-1252  1252
UTF-8         65001
ISO-8859-1    28591
ISO-8859-2    28592

As @Christophe Weis pointed out in comments, you can lookup the identifiers of other code pages at Code page identifiers page.

The build is still not updating. From what I can see in the log, it says "Build FAILED.", and another issue I see is that in the list, it points towards zinnschlag instead of the new openmw github.
Oh right, haven't updated the list page. Thanks for noticing, fixed now.
And yeah, the builds have been broken a few days. Posted about it on IRC but haven't had the time to fix the problems myself.
Ace, this is regarding the Alt-F4 issue.
8218 (cf153cc95173) Make sure we don't stay in the windows event loop forever if there are lots of events coming in quickly.
8219 (49dbdbd657a9) Corrected name of hint in README.
I believe using a later version (2.0.2 or 2.0.3) will resolve the problem. Would you mind trying a newer version of SDL2 with your builds please?
Right, shouldn't be much trouble to update the build. Not going to be able to do it now though, since I'm at my parents. Birthday and all that.
Yeah, I see that. The scheduled task reports a last run as of 2014-06-13 04:00, but the timestamp on the build data is 2014-06-02 04:10. I'm going to dig through this a while and see what could've happened since the schedule seems to run without actually launching the build scripts.
Either way, next nightly will be up as usual, and I promise you that.

Edit: either way, fixed. Both SVN and 3.2 should be just fine now.
Oh right, yeah I'm using an SVN version of MyGUI.
And I just realized I forgot to upgrade SDL, got sidetracked with other work that needed to be done.
I'll try to get on it tomorrow or the day after.


The Fujifilm X-T1, Olympus OM-D E-M1 and Sony Alpha A7 – could you be tempted by one of these superb CSCs?
Full-frame sensors were once exclusively the province of expensive professional-level DSLRs, however the introduction of powerful CSCs equipped with full-frame sensors has narrowed the playing field, and provided competition to Canon and Nikon DSLRs that hang at the comparatively affordable end of the price scale.
Sony is leading the charge with its full-frame Alpha 7 series, all of which are now in their second generation. The series comprises three cameras: the Alpha 7 Mark II; the Alpha 7R Mark II which lacks an anti-aliasing filter and the Alpha 7s Mark II which can record 4K video. You can also still pick up the original generation cameras for all of these versions.
The cameras vary in price of course, but right now if you shop around you can pick up the original Sony Alpha 7 for between £700 and £900. That's a hard price to argue with for a full frame sensor.
There's not a lot of point in carrying around the bulk and heft of a DSLR if you don't need to, and a small and light CSC can be much more suitable in a variety of situations. More compact for travel, lighter for long days out, more discreet for street photography – there's a lot to recommend CSCs if you're looking to reduce the weight around your neck. Panasonic in particular has been producing CSCs that pack a huge amount into tiny bodies, such as the Lumix GM5 (which is about the size of a pack of cards).
Once almost universally scorned by photographers, electronic viewfinders of the kind frequently found on CSCs have quietly been getting better and better in recent years, and now you could quite easily make a case for them offering a preferable user experience than optical viewfinders.
The problem of lag-time has been all-but eliminated – the recent Fuji X Pro2 for instance has an excellent viewfinder, with a readout speed of 85fps and a blackout time of just 150ms (as an aside, surely we can stop bothering to even mention lag times when they are so absurdly negligible). Unlike optical viewfinders, EVFs also provide a 100% accurate field of view, and are nice and bright even in low light.
We've also seen some neat tricks from Olympus. Take Live Bulb/Live Time modes for instance, which uses the inherent capabilities of mirrorless cameras to its advantage, allowing the user to view a long exposure photograph building up in real time.
Fujifilm's CSCs and compacts have played host to the innovative X-Trans sensor, and more recently the Hybrid Viewfinder.
While DSLRs may still have more power, you could argue that CSCs are a hell of a lot more fun.
Interested in shooting video? Do yourself a favour and pick up something in the Panasonic GH series. In the four iterations of the series the firm has been quietly making them better and better, to the point where the GH3 and recent 4K-shooting GH4 are consistently in demand by professional videographers.
They borrow features from Panasonic's professional video cameras – including zebra patterning, bit-rate and resolution options, to name a few. The GH4 can record 4K video (4096×2160 pixels) at 24p with a bitrate of 100Mbps, and 1080p full HD video with a maximum bit rate of 200Mbps – compare that to the stalwart video DSLR the Canon EOS 5D Mark III, which records at 91Mbps and you can see why DSLR videographers are tempted to jump ship.
One of the problems with shooting long exposures on DSLRs is that the action of the mirror slapping up and down can cause slight camera-shake and blur your images. On mirrorless CSCs, this is of course not an issue. Couple this with how easy it is to set up any recent CSC to be triggered by your mobile phone, and you should have no problems keeping your camera absolutely still for a long exposure. This can be crucial when you're shooting in low light.
Call us shallow if you want. We can take it. The fact remains that the Fujifilm X-series CSCs and cameras in the Olympus OM-D system just look good. The retro-inspired design of these cameras makes them into sublime objects that beg to be picked up and used – there's a reason that the other manufacturers are beginning to tune into this mindset, such as with the retro-inspired recently-announced Nikon J5. For now, if you want a camera that looks as good as it handles, you want a CSC.

Ancylostoma caninum
By Sophia Saeed
Ancylostoma caninum is cosmopolitan in warm and temperate climates, especially where there is adequate moisture. (Marquardt, 2000; Olsen, 1974)
Other Geographic Terms
The first larval stage lives in the soil where it molts twice and then emerges into its infectious third stage. The third stage juvenile is either ingested, in which case it goes through the stomach and ends up in the small intestine, or it enters via the skin. If A. caninum enters through the skin of the host, it finds its way to the circulatory system which takes it to the trachea. In the trachea, the juvenile is swallowed and ultimately ends up in the small intestine.
In abnormal hosts, such as humans, A. caninum larva cannot remain in the subcutaneous layer of the skin, unable to enter the circulatory system to complete its life cycle. (Marquardt, 2000; Olsen, 1974)
scrub forest
Ancylostoma caninum is usually gray, but appears reddish if there is blood in its alimentary canal. The body is covered by a non-living cuticle that sheds at molts allowing for growth of the nematode. A male is 10 to 12 mm long and 0.36 mm wide; a female is 14 to 20 mm long by 0.5 mm wide and has a pointed tail. The anterior end is bent dorsally so that the arrangement of the hookworm's ventral and dorsal sides are reversed. In the head of the hookworm is an area called the buccal capsule which contains one the mouth and teeth. Ventrally, there is one pair of teeth, each with three points. In the depth of the capsule there is a pair of triangular dorsal teeth and a pair of ventro-lateral teeth. At its posterior end, a male A. caninum has a prominent bursa. The rays inside the bursa are used in identifying species of hookworms, so A. caninum has a particular arrangement of rays in its bursa. The female reproductive organ, the vulva, is found near the junction of the second and last thirds of the body. (Cheng, 1973; Jones, 1967; Marquardt, 2000; Olsen, 1974)
ectothermic
heterothermic
sexes shaped differently
10 to 20 mm
0.39 to 0.79 in
The eggs of Ancyclostoma caninum pass through several larval instars before becoming an adult. In an environment of 23 degrees Celsius, the egg hatches into the first-stage juvenile in the soil in approximately one day. Within four to five days, the cuticle is molted twice and the infective third-stage juvenile emerges. Infection of the host can occur through ingestion or by penetration of the unbroken skin but either way, the parasite ends up in the small intestine of the host. If ingested, A. caninum travels to the stomach of its host, molts, migrates to the small intestine, molts a fourth and final time, and develops to maturity in about 5 weeks. If entrance is via the skin, A. caninum makes its way through the dermal layers and enters the circulatory system which takes it to the lungs. Once in the lungs, A. caninum leaves the capillaries and travels up the trachea where it is swallowed. It then goes through the same cycle that ingested A. caninum go through until it reaches the small intestine.
Copulation occurs within the small intestine and the female worms pass eggs in the feces. Transplacental and transmammary transmission are known for dogs infected with A. caninum. Occasionally, an A. caninum juveniles will penetrate the skin of a human but cannot complete its life cycle in the inappropriate host. The juvenile wanders about in the upper layers of the skin, causing a conditio called dermal larva migrans. (Marquardt, 2000; Olsen, 1974)
Nematode females may produce a phermomone to attract males. The male coils around a female with his curved area over the female genital pore. The gubernaculum, made of cuticle tissue, guides spicules which extend through the cloaca and anus. Males use spicules to hold the female during copulation. Nematode sperm are amoeboid-like and lack flagella.
Copulation for Ancylostoma caninum occurs within the small intestine and the female worms pass eggs in the feces. (Barnes, 1987; Marquardt, 2000; Olsen, 1974)
oviparous
There is no parental investment beyond egg laying.
Ancylostoma caninum is not a social parasite. The rate of infection is temperature dependent: temperate and warm climates are optimal conditions while cooler temperatures decrease the rate of infection. (Marquardt, 2000)
Nematodes in general have papillae, setae and amphids as the main sense organs. Setae detect motion (mechanoreceptors), while amphids detect chemicals (chemoreceptors).
Females may produce a phermomone to attract males. (Barnes, 1987)
Other Communication Modes
These hookworms live in the small intestines of many animals, predominantly dogs. Other hosts are cats, foxes, wolves, and other carnivores in temperate as well as tropical and subtropical areas. On very few occasions have humans been reported as hosts. Ancyolostoma caninum feeds primarily on the tissue of the small intestine but is also known to suck blood. Adult worms feed at approximately six different sites per day. (Chowdhury and Tada, 1994; Lapage, 1962; Marquardt, 2000; Olsen, 1974; Roberst and Janovy Jr., 2000)
eats body fluids
body fluids
These parasites are probably not preyed on directly, but are ingested from host to host. Larval mortality is high as most of the parasites do not reach appropriate hosts.
These hookworms live in the small intestines of many animals, predominantly dogs. Other hosts are cats, foxes, wolves, and other carnivores in temperate as well as tropical and subtropical areas. On very few occasions have humans been reported as hosts.
Species Used as Host
dogs, Canis lupus
cats Felis sylvestris
foxes and wolves Canidae
other carnivores
humans, Homo sapiens
It is difficult to assess the economic importance of Ancylostoma caninum because they do not infect animals raised for food or labor purposes very often. Domestic dogs, the most common host, can suffer from anemia. If proper precautions are not taken, pet owners with infected dogs can become the host of Ancylostoma caninum. Since infected dogs pass A. caninum larvae out with their feces, anyone who comes in direct contact with feces can obtain the parasite. For example, if a barefoot child is playing in the yard where his infected dog has passed feces, the larvae of A. caninum can enter the child's body via contact of the feet with the feces. Once in the child, an A. caninum will migrate within the subcutaneous layer of the skin for several months causing a condition called dermal larva migrans. (Marquardt, 2000)

Our Growers | Del Monte Foods, Inc.
At Del Monte, we're passionate about cultivating quality vegetables, fruits, and tomatoes. We grow with care on farms, many of which have been with us for generations, and preserve the wholesome goodness you'd expect from your own backyard garden.
Our tasty, nutritious produce is grown on a community of farms across the U.S.
Our tasty, nutritious produce is grown on a community of farms across the U.S. In the San Joaquin Valley, summer approaches with the promise of fat, juicy peaches. In that same region, our tomatoes ripen less than 50 miles from our plant where we use a portion of solar energy in production. While out around Plover, Wisconsin, green bean fields stretch to the horizon. And in Blue Earth County—that's in Minnesota—the corn is growing up so sweet, we never have to add sugar.
About 95% of the food we produce is grown on farms in the USA, and it travels, on average, less than 100 miles from farm to manufacturing gate. We also partner with our growers on a variety of programs to yield healthy, productive crops while minimizing our impact to the earth's resources.
For example, since 1923, our seed program has allowed us to develop varieties that require less water and fewer pesticides to produce. Our Blue Lake green bean varieties, along with innovative growing practices, have increased yields by nearly 200%. That's super planet-friendly because we're helping conserve land, water, and energy.
With support programs like these, it's no wonder that some farmers have been growing Del Monte® fruits and vegetables for 40 years—and many farms have been with us for four, even five generations.
Many of our farms have been with us for four, even five generations.
"Growing crops for Del Monte is really a partnership. It's a longtime effort," says Allen Mize, our Director of Agricultural and Technical Services.

New England Patriots News 6-16, AFC East Notes
June 16, 2019 at 5:00 am ET
Follow @SteveB7SFG
Good morning, here is your Sunday Patriots news 06-16 and AFC East notes this week. And a Happy Father's Day to all the great dads out there.
While anyone can become a father, the word Dad means so much more. My own Dad never gave me much advice but the way he conducted himself every day and the way he treated everyone around him was all the example that was ever needed.
Quick Hitters:
Bill Belichick – decided to cancel the final two days of OTAs last week and on the first day, took the players out to a team-building exercise…a paintball range. Belichick supposedly took out Kyle Van Noy with a headshot, the linebacker told Dont'a Hightower his tooth hurt where Bill nailed him. In cooler weather, those tend to hurt even more.
Michael Roberts – the Patriots traded for the Lions tight end on Thursday, but he failed his physical on Friday and the trade was voided. He was placed on IR last year for a shoulder injury. Upon reverting back to the Lions, Roberts was released.
Tom Brady – heard about a high school senior who missed his graduation while in the hospital and Brady sent him a video message. Shaun Patterson was suffering from a congenital heart defect and was the recipient of a heart transplant. Brady heard about it and sent the Missouri teen a message. You can watch the clip here:
Zdeno Chara – While the Bruins Game 7 loss to St. Louis will sting all summer long, the Bruins captain was as tough and gritty as they come. It was revealed later that Chara's jaw was fractured in two places when he was hit by a puck in Game 4. He tried to return that night but doctors wouldn't clear him but did return and play in Games 5-7. At 42 years old, he's no longer the Bruins best defenseman but he's what being a captain is all about. Get well soon Big Z.
Pat Bowlen – RIP to the Broncos long-time owner who passed away on Friday at age 75. He turned around the franchise and brought them a winner.
Training Camp to Begin around July 25.
Thoughts on the Caserio Mess With Houston:
In the end, the Houston Texans declined to pursue any further contact with Nick Caserio and the Patriots have removed their charges of tampering against the Texans. John McClain of the Houston Chronicle was the first to report the development that there is a clause in Caserio's contract that would stop other teams from pursuing him.
The Texans released a statement from Texans owner Carl McNair.
"When we started the process to interview Nick Caserio for our EVP/GM position, we consulted the League office on numerous occasions, followed the procedures outlined in the League's rules and believed we were in full compliance," McNair said. "We have now been made aware of certain terms in Nick's contract with the Patriots," McNair added in the statement. "Once we were made aware of these contract terms, I informed Mr. Kraft that we would stop pursuing Nick."
Nick Caserio
The pursuing of Caserio reportedly began at the Patriots ring ceremony at Robert Kraft's home. Jack Easterby, the former Patriots character coach and now part of the Texans organization (Executive VP for Team Development) had allegedly made overtures toward Caserio. He reportedly did so before the Texans asked the Patriots permission to interview for their GM position.
The interesting thing is the timing. The next morning, that Friday, Houston fired their GM Brian Gaine after one season. Gaine went 11-5 in his only season at the helm of the Texans and had just completed the NFL Draft. It has also been reported that Gaine was targeting and firing black employees of the staff, which will be looked at as well.
Houston tried last year to interview Caserio after then-GM Rick Smith stepped away to be with his wife during her cancer treatments. The Patriots rebuffed that approach and denied them the opportunity to interview Caserio.
The statement by McNair answered one of the questions surrounding this entire mess.
Other Questions About Caserio Matter:
"How could the Patriots allow this to happen, possibly losing Caserio?" Well, with the language inserted in there, it certainly seems like they have protected themselves against this scenario. But in reality, this entire mess could have easily been avoided.
Had the Patriots given Caserio the title of an equivalent position, (former Patriot front office man Scott Pioli was the VP of Player Development) and a raise, this entire situation never comes to fruition.
"Did the Texans knowingly tamper with Caserio?" Again, no one knows for sure. It is strictly innuendo. However, if Easterby did, in fact, make overtures to Caserio at Kraft's house, as was implied, before asking the team permission, then yes they did. Another interesting tidbit is the fact that Easterby and Caserio share the same agent. Wouldn't the Texans know that there is language inserted in his contract that would preclude him from being pursued? Especially given how close Caserio is with both Easterby and O'Brien?
One would think so. And in Houston, Caserio wouldn't have the final say in the formation of the 53-man roster. That rests with O'Brien.
"Do the Patriots Have Their Succession Plan in Place?" Another good question. The answer is yes and no. It would seem like Josh McDaniels is the next head coach in waiting for the Patriots when Bill Belichick finally decides to retire. Caserio would be the obvious choice for the GM position. But he's only signed thru the 2020 season. That will have to be rectified…and soon. He previously was interviewed for the Miami and San Francisco GM positions.
Caserio has a unique job in that he wears many hats for the team. While officially the Director of Player Personnel, he has a direct line during game days …to McDaniels in the headsets and advises him on situations unfolding during games. That is unheard of for a man with his title.
He has held many positions in his years with the team, personnel assistant, offensive coaching assistant, area scout, director of pro personnel, wide receivers coach as well as his current position. During minicamp, he was throwing passes to wide receivers.
Bill Belichick has said on numerous occasions that Caserio does much more than his job description states.
"Nick does a great job," Belichick said last winter. "He does a lot of different things for us. I'm sure he does more than anybody in the league at his position in terms of his interaction with the team, the coaching staff, and the college and pro scouting. He's involved in a lot of different things and does a great job at all of them. His job description would be several pages."
One thing is for certain. There is no way the Patriots could have afforded to lose Caserio this summer. With all of the other losses of the coaching staff, this would have been a huge blow. Now they need to lock him up long-term for the future regime. Stay tuned.
Michael Bennett Could Be An Under-the-Radar Addition in 2019:
The Patriots lost Trey Flowers in free agency to the Lions this spring when he signed a monster deal that he wasn't going to get in Foxboro. But they traded just a fifth-round draft choice for Michael Bennett and a seventh rounder. And although Bennett turned 33 in November he had nine sacks for the Eagles in 2018 plus another one in their two playoff games.
So while the production from last season is about the same as Flowers, it was the versatility of Flowers that will be missed. He could line up all over the formation and play any number of roles that the defense would ask of him.
Super Bowl XLIX:
Rewind the tape to Super Bowl XLIX, on the Patriots first four offensive snaps, Bennett lined up at four different positions, left defensive end, left defensive tackle, right defensive end, and right defensive tackle. And he pressured Tom Brady on three of those plays.
Bennett is at the age where most edge rushers (emphasis on most), seem to begin to lose their ability to produce. We didn't see anything, however, from Bennett last year that he was approaching that level, despite his age. In fact, one could make the argument that he was the Eagles best pass rusher down the stretch last year.
The fire still burns bright for him as he is hungry for another championship. It is tough to gauge the big men on the offensive and defensive lines in minicamp. The real test for them begins with training camp begins.
But one area that Bill Belichick has always had a high percentage of hitting on is his ability to recognize and identify veteran players who can fill important roles for far less money and cap space. We believe Bennett will be another case of that.
Patriots-Lions Teaming Up for Joint Practices This Summer:
The Patriots are set to begin training camp around the July 25 timeframe, and prior to the first preseason game against the Detroit Lions, the two teams are going to conduct three joint practices. Former Pats DC Matt Patricia, like his mentor Bill Belichick, has a healthy respect for the value of joint practices and it seemed like a no-brainer that the two teams would hook up this summer.
The Lions announced on their website the dates and times for the joint practices:
The Detroit Lions 2019 Training Camp presented by Rocket Mortgage will open at the team's headquarters and training facility in Allen Park for a 13th-straight year beginning July 25. There will be three practices exclusive to season ticket members and eight practices free and accessible to all fans. This year's camp will also feature three joint practices with the New England Patriots prior to the Preseason Week 1 matchup at Ford Field (Thursday, Aug. 8; 7:30 p.m. ET).
With the three joint practices will take place at their Allen Park training facility on Monday-Weds. August 5,6, and 7 with practice beginning at 9:30 a.m. on each day. The gates will open at 8:30 a.m. Any Patriots fans looking to see the preseason game can plan their trip accordingly.
Eastbound and Down AFC East Notes:
Bills Buck Trend And Remain Traveling For Training Camp:
The Buffalo Bills are one of the teams that remains convinced that traveling away to training camp is the right way to go. They believe that their team-building and the opportunity for players to become the best versions of themselves are best served while going away for camp.
One can make the argument for or against such a move, but both head coach Sean McDermott and GM Brandon Beane are both on-board with that decision. On the Bills website, they both spelled out their reasoning behind the decision.
"First and foremost, we love going up to Rochester," McDermott said. "We love going to Fisher. I think it's a great venue for an NFL training camp. I think that the people and staff are first class. I've been around before when you go to a campus when you're wanted contractually but not wanted maybe once you're there. They open up their home to us. We love going up there. I love my early morning runs up there."
Seating a challenge:
"The challenge a little bit is some of the location and the fields as it relates to the public practices," McDermott added. "We'd love to make everything public, quite honestly. We're just not able to do that necessarily with the physical location of things and trying to rotate fields and space."
"It's just when you go to that other field, that's not the main one, it's not conducive for the fans," Beane said in reference to the grass field behind the St. John Fisher Fieldhouse. "It's just hard to do that. It's not fair for us to advertise — they don't know which fields. We wouldn't want someone driving multiple hours, bring kids and there's no seating."
Flores Changing the Dolphins Culture A Piece at a Time:
The Miami Dolphins have a new sheriff in town named Brian Flores and he knows that the rebuilding process takes time. But he also knows that the ownership group isn't going to be overly generous with the time it takes to build a winner. They're frustrated through years of mediocrity and are hungry for a winning team and attitude.
Flores saw what he perceives as a loose ship in South Beach and is trying to emulate the workman-like culture he was a part of in New England. And he didn't waste any time in bringing that attitude to Miami.
Takes No Talent:
Flores trademark is the T.N.T. mantra (Takes No Talent), to build a winning attitude. The core values are hard work, discipline, and respect. It is easy to see some of the Patriot-way infused in Flores' beliefs, but he's put his own spin on it.
"I tell my players this — I can go out there and get conditioned if I just go out there and run every day. I'm not going to do that, not like they do; but I could do that," Flores said, in a piece on ESPN.
"Any of us in here can do that. That really takes no talent; it just takes hard work, effort," Flores said. "Everybody talks about, 'This guy is talented; that guy is talented.' The talent on the team and a lot of things in this game come down to focus, execution, not making a bad penalty. Really, that's not a talent issue. It's a focus issue; it's a mindset issue. I try to, and us as a staff, we try to make an emphasis on those specific things. Things that take no talent, I think those are the details that help you win games."
Little by little, Flores is putting his own stamp on things in Miami. By changing their work habits, discipline, and the overall culture, Flores is trying to speed up the rebuilding process.
Jets DC Williams Looking To Aggressively Use His Star Players:
The new defensive coordinator of the New York Jets, Gregg Williams has had seven different stops as defensive coordinator and one stint as a head coach, with the Buffalo Bills. And his units are always aggressive. And with a core of special players on defense, he has with Leonard Williams, Jamal Adams, and C.J. Mosely, the Jets will no doubt be aggressive again in 2019. And by adding arguably the best player in the draft in Quinnen Williams at DT, the Jets defense can be very tough this season.
Speaking of Mosely who the Jets signed as a free agent this spring, Williams raved about his play.
Leads by Example:
"He's a really good leader and he leads by example first. All the great leaders that I've ever been a part of, have to show great example before you open your mouth, so he's always doing that," Williams said of Mosely.
"He's always done that, he's not an extremely highly vocal guy but he sets the example by how he goes about doing his job and he understands the routine of being a pro, being a real pro. Williams is excited about the flexibility now of all a sudden even being more of a quarterback of the defense and having the checks and the audible systems and the things that we teach. He's been very good and it will be fun."
In regard to Leonard Williams, his new DC is licking his chops at unleashing him on the competition. "I'm really looking forward to cutting him loose and he was high on my list to get a chance to draft," he said to Jets.com.
"There is a drastic difference in just the philosophy of how we play up front and he's had some really great springs, can't wait to get him in pads and ready to go," Williams said of the 25-year old. "But he's another one I'm excited about the opportunity to help him be as good as he can be."

Q: How do I specify an angular directive in the link of another? I'm trying to create a server-validate directive, which asynchronously validates form input by submitting a partial form to our server back-end and parsing the response. I hoped to use it like this:
<input type="text" ng-model="stuff" server-validate />

(I'm combining it with another directive on the wrapping <form>, that specifies what URL to use etc...) In order for the form not to submit validation requests on page load, I need to set ng-model-options="{ updateOn: 'blur' }", but I'd like to *not* have to do this on every element in the form. Instead, I'd like theserver-validate` to specify this behavior as well.
I've tried a couple of things in the link function, for example attrs['ngModelOptions'] = '{updateOn: "blur"}' and attrs['ngModelOptions'] = { updateOn: 'blur' }, but neither had any effect at all.
Is there a way to apply this through my own directive, without having to specify anything else?

A: They have a great example of what you want over at the docs:
directive('contenteditable', ['$sce', function($sce) {
  return {
    restrict: 'A', // only activate on element attribute
    require: '?ngModel', // get a hold of NgModelController
    link: function(scope, element, attrs, ngModel) {
      if (!ngModel) return; // do nothing if no ng-model

      // Specify how UI should be updated
      ngModel.$render = function() {
        element.html($sce.getTrustedHtml(ngModel.$viewValue || ''));
      };

      // Listen for change events to enable binding
      element.on('blur keyup change', function() {
        scope.$evalAsync(read);
      });
      read(); // initialize

      // Write data to the model
      function read() {
        var html = element.html();
        // When we clear the content editable the browser leaves a
 behind
        // If strip-br attribute is provided then we strip this out
        if ( attrs.stripBr && html == '
' ) {
          html = '';
        }
        ngModel.$setViewValue(html);
      }
    }
  };
}]);

So the only thing that looks like what you would change would be to remove the keyup and change events from the element.on. Then in your blur you would also do the server request. Docs on ngModelController: https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/type/ngModel.NgModelController

Growing Demand for Security Products Drives Fortinet
By Aaron Hemsworth
Key business drivers
The huge demand for security products has helped Fortinet (FTNT) maintain strong business growth. Moreover, the launch of new product and services coupled with new contract wins continue to act as strong catalysts for the company's top-line growth. Furthermore, the company's cloud service is also adding to growth momentum.
The graph above shows that the company's total revenue has been in an uptrend for the last five quarters. During the period, Fortinet's revenues have improved at a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of 3.5%. In fiscal 4Q17, the total net revenue of the company increased by 15% YoY (year-over-year) to $416.7 million. At the end of fiscal 2018, the revenue came in at nearly $1.5 billion, up 17% YoY.
Analyst estimates and guidance
As per Yahoo Finance, out of 30 analysts covering the stock, six gave the stock a "strong buy," and 15 had "buy" recommendations. Seven analysts gave the stock "hold" recommendations, while two gave it "underperform" ratings. The average net revenue estimate from analysts for fiscal 1Q18 is $390.3 million. For the full year, it was $1.7 billion.
The company projects total revenue in fiscal 1Q18 to be in the range of $387 million to $393 million, while in full fiscal 2018, it was between $1.70 billion and $1.72 billion.
In January 2018, other big players in the IT space like Microsoft (MSFT) and International Business Machines (IBM) also reported earnings. The revenue for Microsoft in fiscal 2Q18 rose YoY 11%, while revenue for IBM in fiscal 4Q17 improved 1% YoY on a constant currency (or CC) basis.

"We must not let our guard down," Falcone said and warned of new groups behaving like the far-left terrorists who committed acts of violence in Italy in the 1970s.
One such far-left terrorist, Cesare Battisti, recently admitted to murdering several people during that era after being deported from Brazil by populist president Jair Bolsonaro.
The incident is not the first time Salvini's party offices have been attacked with explosives. In August last year, an office in Treviso was attacked with far-left Antifa anarchists later taking responsibility for the bombing online.
The attack consisted of two separate explosive devices, one meant to attract police and others to the area where a second one, filled with nails and metal fragments, would then go off. Police were able to disarm the second device before it exploded.
While it is mostly far-left groups behind attacks or calls for attacks on Salvini, the Salerno case is different in that the suspects appear to be migrants.
It also comes after another migrant, 47-year-old Senegalese national Ousseynou Sy, attempted to set a bus full of children on fire, citing revenge against Salvini and his anti-mass migration policies.

I'm New Here: One Year In


The PLED-SLIM LED bars are small in size with aluminum body characterized by an extremely high efficiency of the LEDs (175 lm/watt).
DOUBLE THE BRIGHT 'EQUAL' CONSUMPTION.
The PLED-SLIM is a linear light source suitable for a variety of uses for both internal and external (if IP66).
The PLEDSLIM is available as standard in lengths of 60 and 120cm, but are also made to measure the desired size, so they fit perfectly to every need.
The assembly can be recessed, surface-mounted or suspended. One of the main features of the PLED-SLIM lies in the fact that the light appears to be homogeneous along the whole surface of the bar, there are no holes or excessive distances between an LED and the other LED bars in low-cost commercial are often frequent and very annoying.
The result is the complete elimination of the cones of shadow and illumination as that of neon.
The market offers many aluminum profiles that use LED flexible strips of import in their maximum luminous expression are suitable for decorative use, while with the PLED-SLIM same absorption can be illuminated as a ceiling light.
