E-Mail Service in New York State
Get PDFThis article will review New York’s service statute, C.P.L.R. § 308, in light of today’s culture and communications. Part One reviews the Constitutional framework of service, the statutory demands for e-mail as a method of service with appropriate leave of court, and provides an overview of the statute. Part Two reviews the evolution of New York case law. Part Three focuses on “how to” use C.P.L.R. § 308(5) to obtain service of process by e-mail.

Gone in 200 Milliseconds: The Challenge of Blocking Malvertising
Get PDFOnline advertising is a multi-billion dollar global industry that lets advertisers serve ads to specific customers of interest as they browse the web. Using real time bidding (RTB), as web visitors land on a site, advertising networks are alerted of space available and whatever profile information can be gleaned about the visitor. Ad networks then auction this combination of space and profile through ad exchanges, and the winning bid\u27s ad content is served to the web visitor. The entire process, from a visitor landing on a publisher\u27s page to ads being auctioned, takes 200 milliseconds--the time needed to snap your fingers. Operating in such a short time frame requires efficiency and speed, so ad networks typically do not host ad content, and rely on servers optimized to quickly deliver content. This tightly choreographed interaction is a technical marvel, but one with built-in risks. The just-in-time collaboration between ever-changing technology providers gives an opening to malicious actors, who can hire a digital marketer, purchase online advertising space, and through devious means, use ad networks to deliver malware rather than ads. The practice of delivering malware as an ad has been termed malvertising, and its incidence is increasing at an alarming rate. This article will present examples of malvertising, describe its relationship with online advertising, and discuss ways to reduce the incidence of malvertising links
Isolation and Characterization of Microbial Community Associated with Diadumene Lineata, the Orange-Striped Sea Anemone
Get PDFThe orange-striped sea anemone, Diadumene lineata, is a marine invertebrate that can be found in the Northern Hemisphere. Distribution of Diadumene lineata ranges from Japan to the Gulf of Argentina. This invasive anemone originated from the Pacific Coast of Asia and serves as a host for a diverse microbial community including a photosynthetic alga. The epiphytic bacteria adhere to the outer surface as well as to the gastrovascular cavity of the host. The microbial community associated with Diadumene lineata is relatively unknown. This study attempted to isolate and identify bacteria commonly associated with this invasive marine invertebrate. Diadumene lineata was collected from rocks on Rye Beach, New York and was maintained in the laboratory. Isolation of bacteria on modified marine LB revealed consistently associated phylotypes that were identified by amplifying 16s rRNA via colony PCR. A phylogeny was constructed from 16s rRNA sequences. Bacterial isolates included Vibrio harveyi, Pseudoalteromonas shioyasakiensis, Vibrio neocaledonicus, Bacillus thuringiensis, and Staphylococcus saprophyticus. These findings suggest that Diadumene lineata harbors a diverse microbial community. S. saprophyticus and B. thuringiensis are both in the phylum Firmicutes, displaying a characteristic of gram-positive bacteria. V. harveyi, V. neocaledonicus, and P. shioyasakiensis are in the phylum Proteobacteria and the class Gammaproteobacteria
Six-Week Postpartum Subclinical Maternal Dependency and Self-Criticism and 12-Month Mother-Infant Interactive Facial Movement Contingency: A Microanalytic Application of the Kestenberg Movement Profile
No full textAssociations between 6-week postpartum maternal depressive experiences (i.e., dependency and self-criticism) and 12-month mother-infant interactive movement contingencies were evaluated for a community sample of 67 mother-infant dyads. In conjunction with prior studies of which the current investigation is a continuation (Bromberg, 2015; Reale, 2011), videotaped movement in the faces of mothers and their infants was coded on a nearly frame-by-frame basis, using study-specific adaptations of Kestenberg Movement Profile shape flow elements (KMP; Kestenberg Amighi, Loman, Lewis, & Sossin, 1999). Lag sequential analyses yielded associations between each type of depressive experience and specific aggregated mother-infant interactive movement contingencies, underscoring the notion that differing subtypes of maternal depressive experiences are uniquely associated with features of non-verbal, movement-based communications between a mother and her infant. Specifically, the sequence of Mother Total Shrink followed by Infant Total Grow was negatively correlated with maternal DEQ six-week Dependency scores, r(65) = -.31,/? = .013 and the sequence Mother Total Shrink followed by Infant Total Shrink was positively correlated with maternal DEQ sixweek Self-Criticism scores, r(65) = .30,p = .017. Findings from exploratory analyses point to the positive association between the frequency of dyad-level total growing movements and maternal DEQ six-week Self-Criticism scores, r(65) = .25, p - .042. Exploratory findings also point to the improved sensitivity of employing half-second time lags over full-second time lags when analyzing movement in a microanalytic framework
Early Alliance: The relationship between attachment representations, quality of object relations, and interpersonal style and early alliance between patient and therapist
No full textThe working alliance plays an important role in the development, maintenance, and outcome of therapy (Horvath, A.O. & Luborsky, L., 1993.). Early alliance, in particular, has been highly correlated with treatment outcome (1993) as patient reports of early working alliance often predict the direction of outcome and has significance for the entire therapeutic process (Martin, D.J., Garske, J.P., & Davis, M.K. 2000; Horvath, A.O. & Luborsky, L. 1993; Horvath, A.O. & Symonds, B.D., 1991). Pretreatment variables including attachment, quality of object relations, and diagnostic information including personality traits and interpersonal relatedness are also powerful, rich elements lending to an initial working knowledge of where our patients are at and where they are coming from. Literature shows that pretreatment variables including object relations and attachment play an instrumental role in reported positive or negative early alliance (Martin et. Al. 2000; Horvath & Luborsky, 1993; Horvath & Symonds, 1991; Hersoug et. Al. 2002; Green, J. 2006). The purpose of this study is to examine pretherapy variables including quality of object relations, parental representations, and diagnostic information including characteristics, traits and interpersonal style, and how these relate to self-reported early alliance with the therapist
An Exploration of the Validity of the Personality Inventory for Youth (PIY) as a Potential Screener for Intellectual Disability, Reading Disability, and Attentional Impairment
No full textThis study examined the criterion validity of youth self-report of cognitive, learning, and attentional capacities on the Personality Inventory for Youth (PIY). The utility of the PIY Cognitive Impairment (COG) and Impulsivity and Distractibility (ADH) scales as screeners for intellectual disability, reading disability, and attentional impairment was explored. Data was drawn from a sample of 1134 youth ages 9 to 18 from an inpatient psychiatric hospital who completed the PIY. Unlike the other PIY COG scales, elevations on the Learning Problems Subscale (COG3) significantly predicted the presence of limited intellectual ability (IQ\u3c80) and intellectual disability (IQ\u3c70) with moderate classification accuracy.ROC curve analyses revealed that PIY COG scales had poor ability to classify those with reading disability and PIY ADHD scales showed poor ability to classify those with attention impairment.As expected, ratings on the COG scales were significantly negatively associated with continuous scores on objective measures of intellectual functioning. Greater endorsement of Learning Problems (PIY COG3) and Cognitive Impairment (PIY COG) was associated with lower scores on a measure of reading achievement. Ratings on the PIY ADH scales were significantly negatively associated with continuous scores on some objective measures of attentional functioning.Results indicate theLearning Problems (COG3) subscale has potential utility as a screener for limited IQ or intellectual disability. Additionally, youth appear able, to some extent, to gauge their own reading and attentional abilities and report on them in a forthright manner on the PIY; however, their report becomes less accurate when deficits rise to the level of reading disability or attentional impairment
