The New Tourism Lexicon: Rewriting Our Industry's Narrative
POLICY BRIEF THE NEW TOURISM LEXICON: REWRITING OUR INDUSTRY'S NARRATIVE Last year, Destinations International released a policy "Washington is the problem. Remind voters again and brief entitled, “Advocacy in the Face of Ideology,” which again about Washington spending, Washington waste, made the case that relying on ROI numbers to defend Washington taxation, Washington bureaucracy, the value and relevancy of a destination organization Washington rules and Washington regulations." was no longer a viable advocacy strategy. Instead, we Luntz also suggested replacing "drilling for oil" with argued, destination organizations need to support the "exploring for energy," "undocumented workers" with message of ROI in terms of dollars and cents with an "illegal aliens," and "estate tax" with "death tax." The ideological and value-based appeal to convince political substitutions often work — an Ipsos/NPR poll found that leaders that without a destination organization, these support for abolishing the estate tax jumps to 76% from returns will inevitably vanish. 65% when you call it the death tax. Our industry has unfortunately fallen for what George Lakoff, a professor of Cognitive Science and Linguistics at the University of California at Berkeley, dubs the “Enlightenment Fallacy.” According to this viewpoint, you simply need to tell people the facts in clear language and they’ll reason to the right, true conclusions. The problem, as Lakoff puts it is, “The cognitive and brain sciences have shown this is false… it’s false in every single detail.” The reality is that people tend to frame political arguments, and the facts behind them, in terms of their own values.

Assessing Contamination Risks Associated with Dust Soil Composted
Assessing Contamination Risk of Dust, Soil, Compost, Compost Amended Soil and Irrigation Water as Vehicles of Pathogen Contamination on Iceberg Lettuce Surfaces Sadhana Ravishankar and Govindaraj Dev Kumar School of Animal & Comparative Biomedical Sciences, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721 Project Report Submitted to the Arizona Iceberg Lettuce Research Council, 2014 1 Introduction The contamination of fresh produce by foodborne pathogens results in 9.5 million illnesses in the United States annually, causing $39 billion in medical losses (Schraff 2010). Iceberg lettuce and similar leafy greens are usually consumed raw with minimal processing or heat treatment. Hence, there is an increased risk of pathogen transmission from contaminated product. Fresh fruit and produce could be contaminated by spoilage or pathogenic microorganisms during pre-harvest and post-harvest procedures (Brandl, 2006). It has also been indicated that the produce might become contaminated during production in the field or in the packing house (Brandl, 2006; Lynch, Tauxe, & Hedberg, 2009). There has been an increase in produce related outbreaks in recent years. Animals are the primary hosts of Salmonella enterica and the pathogen possesses genes to invade, survive host cells and resist immune defense mechanisms (Wallis & Galyov, 2000). Salmonella also has genes that confer fitness in non-host environments. The application of soil amended with manure produced by food animals could introduce foodborne pathogens in the farm environment (Hutchison, Walters, Moore, Crookes, & Avery, 2004). Several studies have demonstrated the persistence of Salmonella in the farm environment. The pathogen was detected in dairy farms, piggeries and slaughterhouse facilities both before and after slaughter (Baloda, Christensen, & Trajcevska, 2001; Hurd, McKean, Griffith, Wesley, & Rostagno, 2002; Millemann, Gaubert, Remy, & Colmin, 2000).

A Key-Based Routing System for P4-Programmable Networks
electronics Article P4-KBR: A Key-Based Routing System for P4-Programmable Networks Pilar Manzanares-Lopez * , Juan Pedro Muñoz-Gea and Josemaria Malgosa-Sanahuja Department of Information Technologies and Communications, Universidad Politecnica de Cartagena, E-30202 Cartagena, Spain; [email protected] (J.P.M.-G.); [email protected] (J.M.-S.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-968-326534 Abstract: Software-defined networking (SDN) architecture has provided well-known advantages in terms of network programmability, initially offering a standard, open, and vendor-agnostic interface (e.g., OpenFlow) to instruct the forwarding behavior of network devices from different vendors. However, in the last few years, data plane programmability has emerged as a promising approach to extend the network management allowing the definition and programming of customized and non-standardized protocols, as well as specific packet processing pipelines. In this paper, we propose an in-network key-based routing protocol called P4-KBR, in which end-points (hosts, contents or services) are identified by virtual identifiers (keys) instead of IP addresses, and where P4 network elements are programmed to be able to route the packets adequately. The proposal was implemented and evaluated using bmv2 P4 switches, verifying how data plane programmability offers a powerful tool to overcome continuing challenges that appear in SDN networks. Keywords: P4; routing; KBR; SDN Citation: Manzanares-Lopez, P.; Muñoz-Gea, J.P.; Malgosa-Sanahuja, J. 1.
