I have an E-MAIL in to them regarding Press release. Will post as soon as I get a response. The New zNOSE does have the ability to determine THC percentage in MJ. That news came out on there web site in November 2016.
ESNR zNOSE now has the ability to determine the percentage of THC in marijuana. Which could be widely used in states where it's legal.
Testing of Marijuana samples using zNose®:
The distinguishing features of multi-compound fragrances associated with material suspected of containing cannabis may be verified if it contains the physiologically active ingredients such as THC. A peak identification or pattern recognition algorithm coupled with a fast SAW/GC allows suspect samples to be screened at rapid rate.
Information as to the physical composition of each sample may also be used to quantify the potency and possible origin of the contraband material. zNose® is equipped with a special user interface for unskilled users. The new user interface transforms the analytical chromatogram picture into a simple array of detection alarms
zNose® has been field tested in applications involving drugs of abuse for the U.S. Customs and the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), explosives for the Federal Aviation Administration, and currency detection for the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. These examples represent only a small fraction of law enforcement applications.

ESNR Homeland Security's Best
The technology of zNose® is patented and employs a proprietary “Surface Acoustic Wave” (SAW) sensor and ultra-fast "Gas Chromatography" (GC) technology which specializes in separating vapor samples according to their chemical and physical properties.
SAW sensors used in the zNose® are special, uncoated chemical vapor sensors that identifies chemicals based on the retention times of the chemical in GC Column. The sensor, with resolution down to parts per trillion, allowing for the creation of a sensitive "lab on a chip".
GC is a common type of chromatography used in analytical chemistry for separating and analyzing compounds that can be vaporized without decomposition. zNose® employs an ultra-fast Gas chromatography technology that enables it to separate chemicals within an odor in near real time.
VaporPrint™ Images and Pattern Recognition is a polar plot of chromatogram time with the radial direction being the sensor signal or the derivative of sensor signal. With VaporPrint™, zNose® provides an important graphical feature well suited for Electronic Nose pattern recognition algorithms.
Why zNose®?
zNose® is highly sensitive in detecting even the most concealed compounds. No other electronic nose comes with a library of more than 700 chemicals and odor signatures. Moreover electronic noses that are mainly used for detection of various chemicals don’t use ultra-high speed chromatography to separate chemicals. The Electronic Sensor Technology's flagship product has been developed with a number of key capabilities that differentiate it from the other products in its category.
There is a big list of reasons why zNose® is the most trusted instrument in the market today.
Recognizes odors and fragrances based on their full chemical signature
Detects all compounds within an odor and provides a full chemical profile
An expandable library of 700+ chemicals and odor signatures
Ultra-high speed chromatography to separate chemicals within an odor in near real-time
Pattern recognition and trace detection can be performed at the same time
Next Global Security Threat – Bioterrorism
WeaponsBiological WeaponsSecurityCounter TerrorNewsPublic HealthTechnologyTechnology News. Feb 23, 2017

The future of international security will be fought on the biological front. Rapid advances in genetic engineering have opened the door for small terrorist groups to tailor and easily turn biological viruses into weapons – bioterrorism. A resulting disease pandemic is currently one of the most deadly threats faced by the world, yet governments are complacent about the scale of the risk, claimed Bill Gates, in an address to the Munich Security Conference, a global forum for discussing security problems.
Gates warned about the dangers of a bioterrorist attack that could wipe out 30 million people in less than a year and how we’re not prepared for it. “We ignore the link between health security and international security at our peril,” reported futurism.com.
Gates, whose charitable foundation is funding research into quickly spotting outbreaks and speeding up vaccine production, said the defence and security establishment “have not been following biology”.
He said developments in genetic engineering were proceeding at a “mind-blowing rate”. Biological warfare ambitions once limited to a handful of nation states are now open to small groups with limited resources and skills.
He said the potential death toll from a disease outbreak could be higher than other threats such as climate change or nuclear war.
“With nuclear weapons, you’d think you would probably stop after killing 10 million. Smallpox virus won’t stop. Because the population is naïve, and there are no real preparations. That, if it got out and spread, would be a larger number.”
The increasingly common use of gene editing technology would make it difficult to spot any potential terrorist conspiracy, according to telegraph.co.uk.
Speaking ahead of the address to the Munich Security Conference, Gates said one of the most potentially deadly outbreaks could involve the humble flu virus. It would be relatively easy to engineer a new flu strain combining qualities from varieties that spread like wildfire with varieties that were deadly.
Gates argued that the key to preparing for such a situation is building an arsenal of new weapons — vaccines, drugs, and diagnostics — and cutting down the time it takes to prepare them. Vaccines can be especially important in containing epidemics. But today, it typically takes up to 10 years to develop and license a new vaccine. To significantly curb deaths from a fast-moving airborne pathogen, we would have to get that down considerably — to 90 days or less. […] The really big breakthrough potential is in emerging technology platforms that leverage recent advances in genomics to dramatically reduce the time needed to develop vaccines.

Cross-Border Biological Threat Screening – a Priority
WeaponsBiological WeaponsPerimeter SecurityBorder ControlCBRNEChemical WeaponsSecurityCounter TerrorHLSFirst RespondersLaw EnforcementNewsTechnologyScreeningGeo-politicsUSA Apr 6, 2017
The US has been promoting cross-border threat screening for biological agents. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) announced $35 million in funding opportunities for a new DHS Center of Excellence for Cross-Border Threat Screening and Supply Chain Defense (CBTS).
Accredited United States colleges and universities may submit proposals as the Center lead or as an individual partner to work with the lead institution in support of the Center’s activities.
According to the DHS S&T announcement, the DHS intends to fund this new Center of Excellence for 10 years through a cooperative agreement.
The overarching goal of the Center will be to research and develop solutions, protocols, and capabilities to support the identification of potential biological threats within the DHS operational environment that could disrupt critical infrastructure supply chains and the operational activities conducted at ports of entry, land borders, and other critical nodes within the supply chain.
DHS encounters persistent and emerging biological threats while working at ports of entry, land borders, and airports. Biological and chemical agents, novel biological agents, invasive species, infectious human and zoonotic diseases, and counterfeit or adulterated goods are a key focus for this Center of Excellence.
These biological and chemical threats can affect infrastructures directly, halt their productivity, disrupt DHS operations, and damage health and economy.
Potential approaches to address these threats include the use of innovative technologies (e.g., screening physical cargo and passengers and data analysis), optimizing operational procedures, and developing a skilled workforce trained in the latest methods to identify biological threats. DHS must protect its workforce from these threats by providing tools and knowledge that can assist in reducing risk.
Therefore, the DHS is aiming at working closely with multi-disciplinary research teams from various academic disciplines, including engineering, scientific, and mathematics sub-disciplines to develop successful innovations.
The S&T centers of excellence are university consortia that work closely with DHS operating components to conduct research, develop and transition mission-relevant science and technology, and educate the next generation of homeland security technical experts.

Fiscal Year 2017 Budget Request U.S. Department of Homeland Security
The Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) mission is to secure the Nation from the many threats and hazards we face. DHS is always on guard; endeavoring to reduce risks to the Nation, both those we anticipate and those that may be less predictable. Our mission requires continuous operations while maintaining the preparedness to react to large scale events. DHS must be agile and vigilant in the face of evolving and emerging threats and other challenges. Recent events continue to highlight the importance of the DHS mission. The Office of Personnel Management data breach and recent terrorist attacks such as the downing of Metrojet #9268 and the mass shootings in Paris and San Bernardino serve as stark reminders of the threats our Nation faces or may face in the future.
The Department must continue to strengthen its foundation of ensuring security and resilience, as well as facilitating its wide-ranging, operations that keep our Nation safe and prosperous each and every day. This budget submission builds on the priorities funded in DHS’s FY 2016 budget, providing the funding to sustain our most critical programs and initiatives in our five primary mission areas: prevent terrorism and enhance security, secure and manage our borders, enforce and administer our immigration laws, safeguard and secure cyberspace, and ensure resilience to disasters, while also providing funding for efforts strengthening DHS Unity of Effort and improving the DHS workforce of nearly a quarter of a million people nationwide dedicated to achieving these goals.
Consistent with the Secretary’s strategic vision, the FY 2017 Budget continues to fund DHS operations while making critical investments in a centralized cybersecurity program within the National Protection and Programs Directorate (NPPD) and frontline border security technology and infrastructure, as well as implementing the President’s commitment to accelerate

construction of a new polar icebreaker. The Budget also supports initiatives such as establishing the DHS Office of Community Partnerships to counter messages of violent extremism, and combining the Department’s chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosives (CBRNE) headquarters functions into a unified office. Furthermore, the FY 2017 President’s Budget is submitted in a new Common Appropriations Structure that will improve DHS’s planning, programming, budgeting, and execution processes through a common framework consolidating the Department’s budget request into four standard appropriations: Operations and Support; Procurement, Construction and Improvement; Research and Development; and Federal Assistance. This model will better align programs to DHS strategic missions and goals.
FUNDING PRIORITIES
The FY 2017 Budget for DHS provides $40.6 billion in net discretionary funding. An additional $6.7 billion for the Disaster Relief Fund (DRF) is requested separately from discretionary amounts, pursuant to the Budget Control Act of 2011. The following priorities are grouped by the five DHS mission areas:
Prevent Terrorism and Enhance Security
Protecting the American people from terrorist threats remains the cornerstone of homeland security. We must remain vigilant against the rise of terrorist organizations such as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and thwart domestic-based “lone offenders” and those who are radicalized to commit acts of terrorism against Americans. The Department will deter and disrupt terrorist operations by leveraging the intelligence, information sharing, technological, operational, and policy-making elements within our purview to facilitate a cohesive and coordinated posture. In this mission area, the FY 2017 President’s Budget includes funding requests for the following key investments:
x $5.1 billion for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) for transportation screening operations to ensure the freedom and movement of people and commerce. Through risk-based security initiatives, such as expansion of the TSA
Pre?TM program, we are committed to maximizing security capabilities to improve security effectiveness while providing expedited screening for low-risk travelers.
x $292.0 million for U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) targeting programs, which includes support for the National Targeting Centers (NTC) for passengers and cargo. The NTCs maximize the effectiveness of highly advanced technology and information, intelligence, databases, and domestic and international partnerships, to effectively screen, review, identify, and prioritize travelers, cargo, and agriculture across all international modes of transportation, inbound and outbound. Effective targeting and interdiction prevent inadmissible high-risk passengers, cargo, and agriculture/bioterrorism threats from reaching U.S. ports of entry. The newly established Counter Network Program will expand CBP’s strategic partnerships with domestic, international, and non-governmental organizations to exchange information, jointly exploit intelligence, and coordinate actions to identify, disrupt, and dismantle illicit networks and associated organizations.
x $197.5 million to sustain inspection and enforcement efforts abroad, which include the Immigration Advisory Program, created by CBP in 2004 to prevent terrorists and high- risk or improperly-documented travelers from boarding commercial aircraft destined for

the United States. This investment also funds Preclearance operations. In addition to improving CBP’s ability to protect the American homeland by extending our borders and preventing terrorists, terrorist instruments, and other national security threats from gaining access to the United States, Preclearance relieves congestion at U.S. “gateway” airports and opens up new destinations for international flights. Preclearance reduces airline delays, and offers a ‘domestic-style arrival’ at U.S. airports which provides a more efficient transfer for travelers.
x $103.9 million to purchase Radiological and Nuclear Detection equipment enabling the CBRNE Office and the DHS operating components, including the United States Coast Guard, CBP, and TSA, to keep U.S. ports of entry safe and secure by detecting and interdicting illicit radioactive or nuclear materials.
x $81.9 million for the BioWatch Program to provide detection and early warning of the intentional release of select aerosolized biological agents in more than 30 jurisdictions nationwide.
x $79.9 million for Infrastructure Security Compliance funding to secure America’s high- risk chemical facilities through systematic regulation, inspection, and enforcement under the authority of the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards.
x $108.2 million to enhance White House security, which includes support for the U.S. Secret Service’s (USSS) Operational Mission Support initiative to enhance protection at fixed and temporary sites and includes advanced protective countermeasures.
x $52.8 million to fund investments focusing on expanding a replacement biometric identification system for DHS. This project will provide DHS the next generation of biometric capture and identification technology, including iris and facial recognition in addition to fingerprints. Implementation of the replacement system will provide DHS agencies with additional identity confirmation options, helping to overcome operational challenges in the field when individuals cannot provide sufficient fingerprints.
x The Budget continues to advance DHS efforts to combat violent extremism through enhancement of community partnerships. This will foster greater cooperation with the technology industry.

Trump's Unbalanced Homeland Security Budget
The president prioritized border security and immigration enforcement in his blueprint, but it risks coming at the expense of other equally important priorities.

Last week, President Trump released the broad outlines of his budget blueprint for the Department of Homeland Security. Unsurprisingly, there is a strong focus on border security and interior immigration enforcement. As these discussions continue, however, the administration must also ensure these priorities do not come at the expense of other agencies that keep the American people safe.
Indeed, paying for border security and interior enforcement by cutting funds to the Transportation Security Administration and Federal Emergency Management Agency, and capping investments in agencies like the United States Secret Service and the United States Coast Guard is akin to double-locking your front door, but leaving your side door open—and your windows, and your garage door, and turning off your alarm.
RELATED STORY
Measuring Trump's Budget Against Past Spending
Homeland Security secretaries have strongly advocated for a risk-based approach to national security. Threats to the United States are too varied, vulnerabilities too challenging, and potential consequences too damaging, to focus exclusively on one threat at the expense of all others. While border security and interior immigration enforcement are important priorities, they cannot come at the expense of terrorism prevention, narcotics and migrant interdiction at sea, and disaster preparedness.
The recently released budget blueprint, which requests a $54 billion increase in defense spending, makes dramatic reductions to vital agency budgets while flatlining others. For one, it calls for TSA to reduce its funding for efforts that include supporting state and local law enforcement officers at airport checkpoints, and conducting visible patrols in mass transit systems using bomb-sniffing dogs, bag searches, and other techniques at train and bus stations, ports, and other transportation hubs. This at a time when TSA just announced enhanced security measures. Just last year, Congress doubled the number of these teams, both in airports and in train stations. What’s more, the blueprint relies on funding 75 percent of TSA’s costs by raising airline passenger fees. We know from firsthand experience that such a budget device has little chance to be approved by Congress and will ultimately widen TSA’s budget hole.

That's for sure, I'm not going to worry about it to much. The same thing happened a couple days ago and they got bought up.

FNBC sure came out of the gate strong this morning.
Yes, the bid ask spread is a bit wide so buys and sells cause significant changes. Bid support continues very strong though, so I think the upward trend will continue.
