Jonasz, imię świeckie James Paffhausen (ur. 20 października 1959 w Chicago) – zwierzchnik Kościoła Prawosławnego w Ameryce w latach 2008–2012.

Życiorys

Pochodzenie i wczesna działalność
Pochodzi z rodziny o korzeniach niemieckich. Miał młodszą siostrę Laurie (zm. 2012). Od młodości był zafascynowany kulturą rosyjską.

Został ochrzczony w Kościele Episkopalnym. W 1978 przeszedł na prawosławie w cerkwi w San Diego, będąc studentem na Uniwersytecie Kalifornijskim (studiował antropologię). Motywacją dla zmiany wyznania była decyzja jego Kościoła o dopuszczeniu kobiet do przyjmowania święceń kapłańskich. W 1985 ukończył seminarium duchowne św. Włodzimierza w Crestwood, w 1988 został magistrem teologii (specjalność: dogmatyka). Rozpoczął studia doktoranckie na uniwersytecie Berkeley, lecz przerwał je, by wyjechać do Rosji i zapoznać się duchowością tamtejszych klasztorów prawosławnych. Początkowo mieszkał w Moskwie i pracował w piśmie Russkij Pałomnik, następnie zaś wstąpił jako posłusznik do monasteru Wałaam. W 1994 otrzymał kolejno święcenia diakońskie i kapłańskie. Wrócił do Stanów Zjednoczonych, gdzie w 1995 złożył śluby zakonne w monasterze św. Tichona w South Canaan. Wstąpił do zakonu za radą mnicha Cyryla z monasteru Wałaam, rezygnując ze wcześniejszych planów wstąpienia w związek małżeński.

Pracował jako misjonarz na terenie Kalifornii, w Point Reyes Station założył męski monaster św. Jana z Szanghaju i San Francisco, przeniesiony następnie do Manton. Założył również kilka prawosławnych placówek misyjnych. W 2008 otrzymał godność archimandryty.

Biskup. Metropolita całej Ameryki i Kanady
W tym samym roku miała miejsce jego chirotonia na biskupa pomocniczego diecezji Południa. 1 listopada 2008 został wyświęcony na biskupa Fort Worth. 12 listopada 2008 wybrany przez Synod biskupów Kościoła Prawosławnego w Ameryce jego nowym zwierzchnikiem, po ustąpienia metropolity Hermana w związku ze skandalem finansowym w Kościele. Obejmując urząd, metropolita Jonasz zapowiedział gruntowną reformę Kościoła.

W 2009 metropolita skrytykował stanowisko Patriarchatu Konstantynopolitańskiego w kwestii organizacji Kościoła prawosławnego w Stanach Zjednoczonych, określając patriarchat jako "zdominowany przez islam". Z wypowiedzi tej następnie wycofał się. Jest również zdecydowanym przeciwnikiem legalizacji związków homoseksualnych i aborcji, opowiadał się za szerszą aktywnością społeczną Kościoła.

W lutym 2011 metropolita udał się na dwumiesięczny urlop, rezygnując równocześnie z funkcji locum tenens diecezji Południa i diecezji Środkowego Zachodu. Swoje zadania przekazał tymczasowo najstarszemu z hierarchów, arcybiskupowi Detroit Natanielowi. Wydarzenie to było wynikiem sporu z Synodem Kościoła. W maju 2011 powrócił do wykonywania obowiązków. 9 lipca 2012 metropolita Jonasz złożył na ręce Synodu Kościoła swoją rezygnację z urzędu jego zwierzchnika. Stwierdził, iż już wcześniej zrozumiał, że nie posiada cech niezbędnych do kierowania Kościołem i poprosił o wyznaczenie mu innej katedry biskupiej. Synod przyjął jego rezygnację i przeniósł go w stan spoczynku.

W Rosyjskim Kościele Prawosławnym
W 2015 metropolita Jonasz za zgodą Świętego Synodu Kościoła Prawosławnego w Ameryce przeszedł w jurysdykcję Rosyjskiego Kościoła Prawosławnego poza granicami Rosji jako biskup w stanie spoczynku. Działalność duszpasterską będzie prowadził, podobnie jak w ciągu poprzednich trzech lat, w kaplicy Świętych Archaniołów w Waszyngtonie oraz w soborze św. Jana Chrzciciela w Nowym Jorku.

RCMP veteran kicked out of B.C. bar for rolling joint wins discrimination case
Home/RCMP veteran kicked out of B.C. bar for rolling joint wins discrimination case
BBGbar case discrimination joint kicked RCMP rolling veteran wins
The B.C. Human Rights Tribunal has awarded $1,500 to an RCMP veteran who was kicked out of a Vancouver Island bar for rolling a joint in his lap, finding that his rights as a medical cannabis user were violated.
Because the retired Mountie uses cannabis as a prescribed treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder – a condition he suffers as a result of his policing career – the tribunal found the pub had discriminated against him on the basis of a mental disability.
The incident dates back to May 2019, when Robin Hayes was drinking beer at the Port Sports Pub in Port Alberni and began rolling a joint between his legs.
The tribunal heard that server Cindy LaForge told Hayes his behaviour was illegal and could get the pub in trouble, despite him indicating it was medical cannabis. The former RCMP officer finished rolling his joint and walked outside to smoke it.
"Hayes testified that upon his return inside the pub, Ms. LaForge was confrontational with him," tribunal member Sonya Pighin wrote in her decision, which was posted online last week.
"She tried to explain to him how reasonable she was, that what he was doing was clearly illegal, and then she told him to get out."
Canada legalized recreational canabis in 2018, meaning adults are allowed to carry up to 30 grams in public, regardless of whether it's medical.
Hayes told the tribunal the experience was degrading, particularly as he'd been going to the pub for years to socialize, have breakfast and participate in meat draws, and that it aggravated his PTSD symptoms.
He argued the only other options available to him at the time would have been to roll the joint in a bathroom stall or alleyway.
In his complaint against LaForge and the Port Sports Pub, Hayes asked for $1,500 in compensation and an order forcing the establishment to "ensure all employees are aware of the rights that persons with disabilities have to prepare medical cannabis cigarettes inside public spaces," all of which the tribunal found to be reasonable.
Pighin ordered the pub to provide employees with several documents, including part of the Cannabis Control and Licensing Act and a human rights facts sheet from the B.C. government, and ensure they read them by no later than Jan. 15.
Hayes' arguments went uncontested throughout the hearing, as neither LaForge nor the Port Sports Pub were allowed to present evidence – the tribunal said both failed to file a response to the retired Mountie's complaint, despite being given adequate notice.
Pighin said forcing Hayes to address undisclosed witnesses and arguments on the spot would be have been more unfair than barring the pub and server from making their case.
But the Port Sports Pub, represented by Ping Wang, and LaForge were both given the opportunity to question Hayes during his testimony.
The tribunal noted LaForge's questions seemed designed to make Hayes "admit that he became aggressive, belligerent, and rude towards her upon his return inside the pub," and that was why she made him leave.
Hayes denied that characterization, however, and Pighin found the RCMP veteran to be a credible witness.
In determining compensation, the tribunal considered the fact that Port Alberni, which has a population of about 17,000, is a small community with "limited options for participation in social life," but also that the confrontation was short and discrete.
Pighin awarded Hayes $500 from LaForge and $1,000 from the pub for injury to dignity, feelings and self-respect.

2020 Budget Message
2020 Preliminary Budget
Neighborhood Stabilization Team
Strategic Fiscal Improvement Plan
Mayor Rolison's Preliminary 2020 Budget Lowers Tax Rates. City To Stay Under The New York Tax Cap.
Posted October 11, 2019 — Filed under Budget
Mayor Rolison's Preliminary 2020 Budget Lowers Tax Rates.
City To Stay Under The New York Tax Cap.
City of Poughkeepsie Mayor Rob Rolison announced today that his 2020 preliminary budget lowers the city's homestead tax rate from $13.30 to $13.24 per $1,000 of assessed value, and also lowers the non-homestead tax rate from $17.99 to $17.16 per $1,000 of assessed value. The City's tax levy increases from $24,057,546 to $24,495,525, or 1.82 percent, marking the third consecutive year the City has stayed under the New York State tax cap. The spending plan for next year recognizes a sharp drop in the City's debt service costs of more than $1 million, after the adoption of a formal debt management plan in 2017 and a bond refunding transaction that occurred earlier this year.
Mayor Rolison said, "The budget I am sending to the Common Council today for their approval continues our multi-year plan to make our local government more efficient while increasing our capacity to deliver on our promise to improve services to our residents and local businesses."
The last time the City lowered the tax rates was in 2009.
The City's budget funds a new position of Deputy Fire Chief to support the safety-inspection and training functions, restores maintenance and service agreements with various vendors that had been cut in years past, accounts for all contractual increases and collective bargaining commitments and increases funding for youth services. The spending proposal also calls for security upgrades at municipal buildings, as well as data security and IT upgrades which will support a new "continuity and disaster recovery plan" to be formalized next year, and the replacement of an aging tax collection system that was installed in the early 1990s.
The budget makes no change to water, sewer or sanitation rates.

Poughkeepsie Mayor and School Superintendent Partner to Launch Children's Cabinet
Posted October 8, 2019 — Filed under Schools
City of Poughkeepsie Mayor Rob Rolison and Superintendent of Schools Dr. Eric Jay Rosser today announced they are partnering to launch the Poughkeepsie Children's Cabinet to create a shared vision and cradle-to-career agenda for child development in the city.
Children's cabinets are used by localities around the country to bring together school districts, government agencies, child-serving community organizations and other local stakeholders to improve their ability to collaborate and coordinate youth supports and services. Cabinets address young people's holistic needs as they grow and develop. By creating common goals, sharing and comparing data, and addressing gaps or duplications in resources, leaders in different systems (healthcare, human services, parks and recreation, higher education and others) are empowered to craft better policies and decisions.
City of Poughkeepsie Mayor Rob Rolison and Superintendent of Schools Dr. Eric Jay Rosser visit students at the Early Learning Center on Monday
"Any city that is serious about guaranteeing the success of its children needs to recognize its responsibility for what happens, not just at school, but beyond the school day," said Mayor Rolison. "I couldn't be more excited to be partnering with Dr. Rosser to build the Poughkeepsie Children's Cabinet into a resource that will, for years to come, make sure each and every child in our city has access to everything they need to thrive."
"The establishment of the Children's Cabinet is essential to helping to organize the work of many community stakeholders, including the Poughkeepsie City School District. Each of us are fully invested in creating opportunity and access for children throughout the City of Poughkeepsie to achieve success," said Dr. Rosser. "I'm excited to co-chair with Mayor Rolison. As the top government official of the City of Poughkeepsie, he has a strong track record of investing in the City's youth and is uniquely positioned to co-chair the Cabinet in the work required for our children to be future leaders."
"On behalf of the Board of Education and as a lifetime resident of the City of Poughkeepsie, I welcome the creation of the Poughkeepsie Children's Cabinet. Our children possess great potential that must be maximized, and the Children's Cabinet will bring school, community and government together to work collaboratively to guarantee that children have multiple pathways to success," said PCSD Board of Education President Dr. Felicia Watson.
The development of the Poughkeepsie Children's Cabinet will benefit from the resources of The Local Children's Cabinet Network, a national initiative of the Harvard Graduate School of Education's Education Redesign Lab, The Forum for Youth Investment and the Children's Funding Project. Poughkeepsie's cabinet has joined this network that brings together leaders from 30 localities in the U.S. and Canada to provide research, expertise and tools to support creating and operating successful cabinets.
The Poughkeepsie Children's Cabinet was an outcome of the first-ever Poughkeepsie Summit at Harvard University, which convened more than 20 local officials and nonprofit leaders to discuss community development opportunities related to the City of Poughkeepsie's future, with a focus on improving opportunities for Poughkeepsie's children.
The event was organized by a group of young professionals with deep ties to the City of Poughkeepsie including James Watson, Kylynn Grier, Kelsey Donohue and Robert Watson Jr. The team is bringing together alumni of K-12 and higher education institutions in the City of Poughkeepsie area to incubate innovative social impact projects and enhance the capacity of local leaders and institutions by connecting them to comprehensive resources and prominent national organizations such as Harvard's Education Redesign Lab, whose director welcomed the mayor and superintendent's announcement today.
Mayor Rolison and Superintendent Rosser will be partnering with other government officials, community organizations and local stakeholders to ensure the cabinet reflects the strength and diversity of the individuals and groups committed to the success of Poughkeepsie's youth.
City of Poughkeepsie Mayor Appoints Lawrence As City Historian
Posted September 19, 2019 — Filed under Press Release
City of Poughkeepsie Mayor Rob Rolison announced today that Tom Lawrence, Director of Poughkeepsie Public Library District, has been appointed City of Poughkeepsie Historian.
Lawrence will serve as a resource for the general public and will aid in the preservation of documents, maps, photographs and other materials relating to the city's history.
"Tom Lawrence's devotion to the community and his exceptional work with the Library District will serve him well as City Historian," said Mayor Rolison.
Tom Lawrence – City of Poughkeepsie Historian
Lawrence, a native of Central New York, graduated from the College of St. Rose in Albany with a BA in Social Sciences, from the University of Oklahoma with a Masters in Library Science, and from Long Island University with a Certificate of Advanced Study on public library management. He has held librarian positions in New York and Connecticut and has been at the Poughkeepsie Public Library District for the last 24 years.
"As City Historian, I want to work with members of the community to not only preserve the record of our past but to increase the awareness and understanding of the Queen City's rich history as we explore the potential for its future," he said.
Over the centuries, Poughkeepsie has transformed from a hamlet to a village to city. Poughkeepsie served as state capital following the burning of Kingston by the British in 1777. In 1788, members of the state convention in Poughkeepsie ratified the U.S. Constitution, with New York forging a new union with the original 13 colonies to become the United States of America. Among other significant landmarks, the city is the site of a Franklin D. Roosevelt-inspired Post Office; the Poughkeepsie Journal, the state's oldest newspaper and the second oldest in the nation; and the Bardavon 1869 Opera House, the oldest continuously operating entertainment venue in the state, "The city's history is all around us, and it's not just in the history books," Mayor Rolison said. "But the documentation of the city's history – and the preservation of that history – is critically important. Tom Lawrence has been one of the trusted caretakers of these records and artifacts. We are grateful he has accepted this appointment."
City of Poughkeepsie Releases Applicant Submissions for Former YMCA site, Appoints Advisory Committee
Posted September 6, 2019 — Filed under Press Release
The City of Poughkeepsie has released the applicant submissions it has received regarding possible future uses of the former YMCA property on Montgomery Street.
The city will hold a public information session at a later date to receive input about the plans from residents. The city also has appointed an advisory committee that includes members of the public to review the applications and make recommendations to the administration.
35 Montgomery Street (Former YMCA Facility)
Dutchess County Legislator Barbara Jeter Jackson of the City of Poughkeepsie will chair the committee, which also will include Common Council member Sarah Salem of the Second Ward, where the former YMCA is located. Other members of the committee are city residents Tamoya Norwood, Sashawna Isaacs and Arthur T. Rollin; Paul Calogerakis, the city's economic development director; and John Penney, the city's community engagement director.
"I'm looking forward to hearing the committee's recommendations – and also eager to hear what the public at large has to say about these ideas," said City of Poughkeepsie Mayor Rob Rolison.
Earlier this year, the city took ownership of the property as part of its anti-blight initiative. It then released a Request for Expressions of Interest (RFEI) for the property, with the goal of soliciting ideas for future uses of the property that will yield significant community benefit.
Here is a summary of the submissions:
The 35 Montgomery Community Coalition – which includes Community Matters 2, Inc., DAY ONE Early Childhood Learning Community, Dutchess Community College, Dutchess County, MASS Design Group, Nuvance Health, Poughkeepsie Farm Project, Poughkeepsie Public Library District, Vassar College, and YMCA of Kingston and Ulster County – is proposing a multi-use facility that would provide services connected to their respective missions in the community.
"Our proposal re-establishes the former YMCA site as a community and recreation resource that can be a safe, structured and horizon expanding space for Poughkeepsie's youth and families," the coalition wrote in a submission sent by Chris Kroner, principal of MASS Design Group.
"More than just a building, our proposal and the coalition behind it represent a comprehensive, cross-sector commitment to giving Poughkeepsie's children the best possible start in life."
Andrew Gori and Ambre Kelly, co-founders of The They Co., are proposing to establish a Poughkeepsie Museum of Contemporary Art. "Our 9 year history in revitalizing New York City and Los Angeles spaces and boroughs gives us great excitement to do the same in our hometown of Poughkeepsie, while also including a sensitivity to community retention that could serve as a model for future towns."
Christopher Bledsoe, aquatic consultant at Swimming Past the Boundaries, is proposing The Swimming Past the Boundaries Aquatic Center (SPBAC), a 22,000-square-foot indoor aquatic facility that would "provide an asset to the immediate surrounding community and Dutchess County as a whole."
Artist Carolyn Hutchings Edlund is proposing an Art Museum. "The newly available YMCA property would make an outstanding museum location having already the bones of the structure, parking, and surrounding parkland in which to display sculptures, host out-of-doors performing arts events."
The submission date for ideas was Thursday Sept. 5.
During this process, the city held two well-attended meetings and then answered dozens of questions the public posed at those meetings. The city also presented to the public a video showing extensive damage to the inside of the building that has been vacant for about a decade.
The prevailing view at the public meetings was that the former YMCA site should be used again for youth activities in some respect. Residents have suggested everything from an indoor sports center arena to a place for employment and job-training programs.

Statement By City of Poughkeepsie Mayor Rob Rolison As Classes Are Set To Begin In City School District
Posted September 4, 2019 — Filed under Uncategorized
"As classes begin in the Poughkeepsie City School District Thursday, I want to wish all the students much success this year, and I am encouraged by the stronger bond that has emerged between the district and the city.
The city school district has the wind at its back, having recently hired Dr. Eric Rosser as its superintendent. We want him and the rest of the school district to know that the city is here to work in partnership.
Dr. Rosser, School Board President Felicia Watson and I were among those recently attending the 'Poughkeepsie Summit at Harvard University.' This summit focused on developing citywide solutions to help children succeed.
The school district can't do it alone. The broader community has an obligation to teach our children, to ensure they are safe and in nurturing environments. We have to be in this together, and the city is committed to that effort."
Statement by Mayor Rob Rolison Regarding Lawsuit for a Cleaner Hudson River
Posted August 27, 2019 — Filed under Press Release
For decades, industrial pollution in the Hudson River has devastated the commercial fishing industry, and efforts to restore the majestic river to a healthier state have proven entirely unsatisfactory.
I commend the State of New York for filing a lawsuit against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for prematurely issuing a 'Certificate of Completion' for the Hudson River PCB Cleanup.
General Electric should, indeed, conduct additional remediation to clean up the river.
Furthermore, I commend Dutchess County Executive Marcus J. Molinaro's decision to file an amicus-curiae brief in support of the state's lawsuit. By doing so, on behalf of all county residents — including those living in the City of Poughkeepsie — the County Executive is appropriately emphasizing the economic and environmental impacts of the Hudson River on the area. Pronouncing GE's cleanup of PCBs complete at this point is premature and not in the public's best interest or health.
I also appreciate the steadfast work of environmental groups – including Riverkeeper, Clearwater and City of Poughkeepsie-based Scenic Hudson – in insisting for better remedies for our river.
The City of Poughkeepsie is among those communities relying on the Hudson River for drinking water. Making the river as clean as possible is in everyone's interest – and should be everyone's goal."

"This past weekend was extraordinary," the mayor said.
Champions Parade
Under pleasant skies on Friday afternoon, people lined both sides of Main Street to watch a parade featuring the Poughkeepsie High School basketball and crew teams, both state champions. The parade continued through downtown and made its way to City Hall where the mayor, School Board President Felicia Watson, coaches from both teams and others greeted the players and presented them with awards. Many of the parade participants and watchers then went over to Mansion Square Park where First Friday festivities – featuring food vendors and music – were underway. The park was jam-packed with people, and the event lasted until nightfall.
Poughkeepsie Pride Weekend

On Saturday afternoon, Poughkeepsie Pride Weekend organizers painted the crosswalk at Main and Bridge streets the colors of a rainbow flag, one of many events that culminated with a parade on Sunday afternoon. Approximately 1,000 participated in the city's first pride parade and festival, an event held in correlation with the 50-year anniversary of the Stonewall riots in Greenwich Village.
"Sunday's parade was a joyful sight," said the mayor. "Having this parade in Poughkeepsie was truly fitting. The city embraces diversity, and we compliment the organizers for working with us and putting on such a great event. I also want to thank our Police, Fire and Public Works departments for their outstanding work this weekend. Having parades back to back presented some challenges, but, once again, city employees were up to the task. Last weekend will be one that many people will long remember."
Video Depicts Ties Between City of Poughkeepsie and Oaxaca, Mexico

Energy-Efficient Propane Plug-In Cabinets in Discount Retail Stores Driven by SLV Compressors AHT Cooling System (SLV Compressors)
Energy costs are high in most European countries, especially in Germany, whereas sales margins in food retailing are low. To reduce the operating cost, AHT Cooling Systems (AHT) from Austria was approached by market-leading grocery chains to supply a self-contained display cabinet which has a much higher level of efficiency than the existing cabinets. According to studies, refrigeration in standard grocery stores contributes to 55% of the primary energy use.
AHT teamed up with Secop (Danfoss Compressors at that time) as one of their main compressor suppliers to work on a cabinet according to the specifications from the commercial end users.
Self-contained display cabinets are very common among food retail discounters in Europe as the small floor spaces do not favor large centralized installations. The single plug-in cabinets can be quickly rearranged if standing alone or installed in an island setup to be accessed by the customers from both sides. They usually contain frozen and low-temperature chilled food rather than dairy products.
The SLV-driven system has even more functionalities included for daily operation:
HACCP control
Alarm to signal failures which affect set temperatures
Remote monitoring of temperatures and consumption
Automatic defrost, ice accumulations on the inboard cabinet walls increase energy consumption due to insulation effects consumption due to insulation effects.
Control of illumination
To reduce the refrigeration cycle's consumption of energy, Secop proposed to use an electronically controlled SLV compressor which is able to adjust its rotating speed and therefore the delivered cooling capacity. Secop's experiences with variable-speed compressors have shown potentials to reduce energy consumption by up to 40% compared to a conventional compressor with a synchronous motor and fixed speed/cooling capacity running on/off.
Intensive tests in labs and in the field have shown solid energy consumption savings. The graphic on the right shows the effect on cabinet efficiency using a variable-speed compressor but same refrigerant, which was observed to consume 30% less energy than compared to the identical system with a fixed-speed (on/off) compressor. The change towards R290 (propane) improved the efficiency by an additional 9%.
Additional savings are provided by secondary effects which include the scheduled (hot gas) defrosting of the cabinet and the full integration of application functions into one confroller, for example, fan and illumination control.
By integrating new compressor technologies into conventional applications and tailoring a solution for plug-in cabinets in discount retail stores, immense savings on total cost of ownership have been achieved. A major success for AHT which now has approximately 600,000 pcs on the market today.
Meanwhile, Secop has adapted the controls for SLV variable-speed compressors for the North American market (i.e. for 115 V 50/60 Hz). The demand will mainly come due to compliance with more strict energy regulations in the near future.
The controller can be modified to fit all other cabinet types as well where energy efficiency is a major buying criterion.

Iran 'opened a Pandora's box' in cyber attack on Israeli water system
JNS TV
The reported Israeli retaliation will give the Islamic Republic reason to think twice before launching a new cyber attack on Israeli civilian targets, according to Israeli defense experts.

(June 2, 2020 / JNS) The Iranian cyber attack in early April on an Israeli water-treatment facility, designed to get computers to add too much chlorine to the Israeli water supply, represents a new phase in Iranian aggression, a former Israeli defense official has said.
Maj. Gen. (res.) Yaakov Amidror, former national security adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and a senior fellow at the Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security (JISS), told JNS on Sunday that there is no historical experience for cyber wars and their consequences, and that therefore, much caution is needed when assessing them.
According to international media reports, Israel retaliated by paralyzing Iran's key seaport—the Shahid Rajaee port in the city of Bandar Abbas, which is a strategic hub for Iranian sea imports, exports and trafficking of illicit weapons.
"It is not possible to know whether Israel's reported response will deter Iran, which to a certain extent has opened a "Pandora's box' in a cyber attack designed to harm civilians," said Amidror.
In its attack, Iran also "placed itself at great risk," he added.

Amidror, who is also first distinguished fellow at the Jewish Institute for the National Security of America (JINSA), said that cyber maneuvers have the potential to deteriorate into war, if the side that is attacked "feels that it has been greatly harmed, and it cannot suitably retaliate against its enemy, and therefore remains vulnerable to attacks from it."
However, as in any difficult decision, he added, "decision-makers must also take into account whether responding to a cyber attack with a kinetic [physical] strike will succeed, and what price might be paid if the adversary also decides to respond kinetically."
"In any case, it is best to be prepared for an enemy that absorbs a major cyber strike to try and respond with a cyber counterattack, and through other means, including kinetically," said Amidror.
A 'cyber winter is coming'
April's cyber strike on Israel's water systems was a "synchronized and organized attack" designed to harm civilian infrastructure, Yigal Unna, who heads Israel's National Cyber Directorate, said recently.
In comments relayed by the Associated Press, Unna said that recent developments have marked the start new era of covert cyber war, warning that a "cyber winter is coming."
"Rapid is not something that describes enough how fast and how crazy and hectic things are moving forward in cyberspace, and I think we will remember this last month and May 2020 as a changing point in the history of modern cyber warfare," Unna told a digital international cyber conference. "If the bad guys had succeeded in their plot we would now be facing, in the middle of the corona[virus] crisis, very big damage to the civilian population and a lack of water and even worse than that," he added.
A Western intelligence official told the Financial Times that had the Iranian attack succeeded, it would have "triggered fail-safes that would have shut down the pumping station when the excess chemical was detected, but would have left tens of thousands of Israeli civilians and farms parched in the middle of a heatwave."
Professor Uzi Rabi, director of the Moshe Dayan Center for Middle Eastern and African Studies at Tel Aviv University, told Israel's 101 FM radio station in recent days that the reported cyber attack on Bander Abbas port sent a powerful message to Iran's regime about Israel's cyber capabilities.
Bander Abbas "is not far from Hormuz Straits, which is an outlet for shipping from the Persian Gulf to the world," noted Rabi. He described the port as a "central life artery" for Iran for exports, imports, sea trade and military activity.
The Washington Post reported that Israel was accused of a cyber attack that crashed the port's computer systems and caused "total disarray," including kilometers-long truck lines and long lines of sea vessels outside of the port. Satellite imagery was shown in the report of the chaos.
"There is no doubt if you turn off the switch with a hidden hand, that calls out for attention," said Rabi, in reference to the reported attack on the port. "If it's true that Iran tried to intrude with a polluted hand into Israel's water infrastructure and harm the civilian world, then at a public-awareness level, a line has been crossed. Israel could not let this pass."
The reported Israeli retaliation will give the Islamic Republic reason to think twice before launching a new cyber attack on Israeli civilian targets, assessed Rabi.
He noted that the Iranian regime is in a difficult situation, both economically and due to shaky relations between it and the Iranian population. "[Quds Force Commander] Qassem Soleimani, Iran's big architect [of its overseas operations], is no longer with them. I can see Iran being tempted, in a dangerous and pretentious manner, to enter the cyber arena," he added.
Israel's reported response hit an Iranian nerve center, and demonstrated to Tehran "how big the asymmetry is, including in the cyber field," argued Rabi, although, he added, Iran is making progress in its cyber-attack abilities. "This is how the Iranian regime needs to be treated … Israel must speak in a Middle Eastern language. The message to Iran is: Find a different tree to climb. If you climb the Israeli tree, the price will be very high."

The 2009–10 National League 2 North was the first season (twenty-third overall) of the fourth tier (north) of the English domestic rugby union competitions since the professionalised format of the second division was introduced.  Previously known as National Division 3 North, it had been renamed due to widespread changes to the league system by the RFU with National One becoming the Championship, National 2 becoming National 1 and so on.  The league system was 4 points for a win, 2 points for a draw and additional bonus points being awarded for scoring 4 or more tries and/or losing within 7 points of the victorious team.  In terms of promotion the league champions would go straight up into National League 1 while the runners up would have a one-game playoff against the runners up from National League 2 South (at the home ground of the club with the superior league record) for the final promotion place. A further change to the league system would see the division increase from 14 to 16 teams.

After finishing 3rd the previous season, Macclesfield would go two places better by winning the league title in what was a very close contest with runners up Loughborough Students - Macclesfield clinching the championship by benefit of just 3 points (one more win).  Loughborough Students  would fail to join Macclesfield in the 2010–11 National League 1 as they lost their playoff at home to the 2009–10 National League 2 South runners up Rosslyn Park.   At the other end of the table, Waterloo suffered their 3rd successive relegation as the worst side in the division, followed at later dates by the more competitive Bradford & Bingley and newly promoted Broadstreet.  Waterloo and Bradford & Bingley would drop to National League 3 North while Broadstreet would fall back down to the National League 3 Midlands.

Participating teams and locations

Eleven of the teams listed below participated in the 2008–09 National Division Three North season; Waterloo were relegated from the 2008–09 National Division Two, while Broadstreet would come up as champions of Midlands Division 1 along with Westoe (champions) and Hull (playoffs) from North Division 1.  A further move saw that Rugby Lions were level transferred (again) across from the National League 2 South as the most northerly team in that division after promotion and relegation left the two leagues unbalanced (in the end there would still be an imbalance as Mounts Bay's liquidation meant there would only be 15 teams in the 2009–10 National League 2 South compared to 16 in National League 2 North).

Q: Updating Excel sheet cell (the cell is a dropdown list) Basically I have a template excel sheet that I copy to another directory.
I open the connection to said new sheet using:
Set cn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
cn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" &  excel_copy & ";Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=No;"""
Set rsHoja = cn.OpenSchema(20)
hoja=rsHoja("Table_Name")
rsHoja.close
Set rsHoja = nothing
Set rsHoja = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")

From This point on I've been successfully doing updates such as:
sql =  " UPDATE [Hoja1$B2:B2] SET F1='"&VALUE&"'"
rsHoja.Open sql, cn

The problem comes when I'm trying to do an update on a cell that takes it's value from a List(that is in the same sheet)
I keep getting an error:

Microsoft Access Database Engine error '80040e10'

Any idea how to assign the value to the cell from the List? I've tried the list's name[cell of the value] and other methods but I'm pretty much trying to figure it out blindly now.
I've also looked everywhere with no luck.
Update 1:
I forgot to mention my file doesn't have headers if that's any help.

A: As you are using Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 database engine for connection,
Possibilities:
1) Make sure you are using Excel 12.0 in Extended Properties  if you are using .xlsx file as Data source
2) Make sure you are using Excel 8.0 in Extended Properties if you are using .xls file as Data source
Check this URL for more info on this:
https://www.connectionstrings.com/excel/

A: So i finally found the problem...It had nohing to do do with my SQL or the cell having a list,the problem was that the cell was marked(in the excel sheet) as a DATE but the List was a String so whenever I tried to write my string on it gave the type error...changing the cell on the excel to string/general fixed the issue,the cell gets the value correctly.

Phil Scott took office as Vermont's 82nd governor Thursday, promising to revitalize the economy, transform the state's education system, build sustainable state budgets and fight opiate addiction.
"I do so with the understanding of the challenges we face, and those who sent us here to solve them," he said during the 30-minute address.
Scott, a Barre native who co-owned an excavation company and made a name for himself as a race car driver, said he never envisioned becoming governor. He honored his late father, Howard, who lost both legs in World War II and died of his injuries when Scott was 11. The flag that had covered his father's casket flew Thursday on the Statehouse lawn in commemoration.
Scott waves as lawmakers applaud.
His address, given with Scott's mother, wife and daughters listening in the audience along with four former governors, was more ceremonial than substantive. A full chamber of state leaders greeted Scott's inauguration with a standing ovation.
Scott spoke about training Vermonters to fill available jobs and setting specific housing targets for working families and young professionals.
He was less specific about how he will transform education. "We must be bold, together," he said, decrying the $19,000 Vermont spends per student. "We're not yet an education destination for young families," he said.
Scott said he would challenge school boards, superintendents and teachers to improve the quality of education. But what that means, or how it will transform education, was left unsaid. Scott said that he wanted school boards and superintendents to focus on quality, not budgets.
Scott said he created a new government modernization and efficiency team, which, he said, will work to make state government more productive.
To meet his pledge to fight opiate addiction, Scott said he would appoint a director of drug abuse prevention and would convene a state convention on the topic.
Scott promised to produce a balanced budget in three weeks without raising taxes or fees while still protecting the state's most vulnerable people, providing access to health care and protecting the environment. He said he would meet the goals to clean up Lake Champlain without relying on new funding.
Scott revealed little about how he will meet his goals. That left many legislators and those who follow state issues wondering just what to expect from a Scott administration.
"I didn't hear a blueprint for how you address any of those priorities," said Senate President Pro Tempore Tim Ashe (D/P-Chittenden), who was newly elected to his post on Wednesday.
House Speaker Mitzi Johnson (D-South Hero) said she shares the goal of making government more efficient and modern. But she said, "I would really like to see some of the details." As for Scott's school goals, "I have no idea what he's planning there," said Johnson, who was elected to her post a day earlier.
He also said that inaugural speeches don't typically get deep into policy.
"I thought I was specific about trying to live within our means, trying to find ways to do things more efficiently. I thought I laid it out fairly well," he said.
Johnson further expressed doubts that Scott would be able to pass a balanced budget without any increase in revenue. "I can't for the life of me picture how you do that without substantial cuts," she said.
She also questioned his resistance to adding funding for lake cleanup. "I'm willing to have the conversation and I'm sorry that he's not," Johnson said.
Environmental advocates also highlighted lake funding as a concern with the new governor.
Scott signed executive orders Thursday afternoon directing state agencies and departments to focus on three goals: strengthening the economy, making Vermont more affordable and protecting the most vulnerable. It was unclear what signing a piece of paper would accomplish, but Scott argued afterward that the orders were intended to keep his staff's focus on those goals.

We just spent four days at this Three Kings Condo at Park City Mountain. We have rented condos all around Park City and at other resorts. We were very impressed with the combination of location, amenities, and level of service included. These units are not new but, other than a few small things, you can tell they are maintained well. We were impressed that the coffee maker and other small appliances seemed new. The beds were comfortable and the unit came with an abundance of extra pillows, blankets, and towels. The location is better than we expected. It is a shorter walk to the Eagle Lift than you'd have from much of the adjacent parking lot. The hot tub and pool are a quick walk away and having the showers and changing area right there make it so you don't have to spend time outside while wet on your way back to the unit. It's also very close to Park Ave and would be a healthy walk to the Main St area. We'd rent it again.
Our family just finished an 8-day stay at Three Kings in Park City. We found the unit to be extremely comfortable. The beds were great, the living areas were a pleasure to to spend time in, and the kitchen was well-stocked with equipment and condiments. Getting around was easy. It's right across from the ski area parking lot so it was an easy 5-minute walk up to the lifts. The free bus stopped right outside the unit so it was very easy to get into town. Very quiet. We looked out onto the golf course and could watch the sun rise in the AM. We'd be pleased to stay in the same unit next time we visit PC.
We had a fabulous time in this Park City rental. Exactly as advertised. Spacious, great location and very comfortable.
We had a very nice, relaxing stay at the 3 Kings for 5 nights. It was a clean, cozy spot for our family of four and a friend. It is walking distance to the chairlift at Park City and a close car ride to the grocery store and other amenities. The free shuttle stops right nearby although we did not try it since we had a car. And although the kitchen was generally well-stocked, the condo lacked some staples that are usually available at other VRBO rentals that we have enjoyed: no pot holders; no sponges; no dishwasher soap; and no kitchen towels. In addition there were no instructions for how to use the TV remotes, and no info on the location, etc. of the hot tub/pool.

The Herald Sun has thrown its weight behind Steve Bracks and the ALP in tomorrow's election in an editorial headed 'Labor merits a third term'.
It says Liberal leader Ted Baillieu might have shown the "mettle and intelligence" to do the job but he's performed a one-man show that's relegated his untested team to the sidelines.
The News Limited paper reckons Mr Bracks's track record of economic management and vision for upgrading schools, health facilities and public transport merits a victory.
"It is not an easy choice. The Government and the Liberals suffer from a lack of depth. The Government has the numbers, but below the immediate leadership a dearth of talent. The Liberals are weak because they were decimated at the last election and any newcomers will be untried."
"The Baillieu campaign has failed to capitalise on longstanding concerns about the transparency of government decision-making and accountability and the Government's point-blank refusal to establish a corruption commission such as exists in NSW, Queensland and Western Australia."
Meanwhile, The Age's editorial says Victorians' interests would be best served if the Liberals gained more seats, thus restoring the balance between the two major parties.
But with both sidestepping the tough calls they'd have to make in government, an opinion piece in the newspaper calls democracy the big loser.

Shining a light onto the abuses of the Chinese state
6 December 2017 - The main driving force behind this new book of first-person stories of China's state-sanctioned kidnappings is Michael Caster, a US human rights advocate and researcher. While Michael himself was never detained, he used to work with Swedish rights activist Peter Dahlin, whose own story of abuse under Residential Surveillance at a Designated Location (RSDL) is detailed in Chapter 5 in The People's Republic of the Disappeared. The two men ran a legal aid NGO called China Action from Beijing, which helped provide funding and logistical support for barefoot lawyers. Here Michael explains why he thinks it is so important for this book to be made now and why we should all start caring about this new chilling tool of abuse.
Q: You were the main driving force behind this book. Can you explain why The People's Republic of the Disappeared was written and published now? The driving force was to help the world see that RSDL is far from a softer form of detention but another piece in China's totalitarian apparatus of terror and control.
Q: The people who volunteered their stories for The People's Republic of the Disappeared did so at considerable risk to themselves. Can you tell us why you think they agreed in the end?
At the end of her chapter, (human rights lawyer) Wang Yu writes:
I have often wanted to write about my experiences. But so often, after picking up my pen, I found myself just putting it down again. I always felt that they were memories hard to look back upon, but that if I didn't record them in time, eventually they would fade away. So I forced myself to write this time.
These stories are about memorialization, about providing testimony against the abuses perpetrated by the Chinese government against its own people. And they are about healing. Those who agreed to share their stories are people who have already made great sacrifices as rights defenders, and in agreeing to share their stories they have continued to make sacrifices for others. These stories provide great context for international condemnation and advocacy, in that by showing the systematic nature of abuses they fuel international pressure for China to abolish RSDL. But, they also provide some guidance, some insight for those rights defenders who still might find themselves picked up and disappeared into the RSDL system. And in that sense they offer some degree of protection.
Q: The people in this book are human rights defenders – lawyers, activists and so on. What kinds of things do they do that make the authorities put them into RSDL? In an authoritarian system, the law exists, where it exists at all, to protect and further the interests of the Party. What these rights defenders have done to end up inside RSDL is merely to have attempted to work within the confines of the law to protect the rights of Chinese citizens.
"Under international law there are no circumstances that permit for enforced disappearances, and yet that is exactly what China has done with RSDL." [Michael Caster].
Q: Who is RSDL targeted at? And roughly since 2013 how many people have been subjected to this chilling practice? In principle, RSDL is reserved for crimes related to endangering national security, involving terrorist activities, or those involving significant bribes. The stories of RSDL in this book show that it is clearly being used to target the human rights community. It is a calculated tool of repression. I think what is more important to emphasize than the total number of people to have passed through RSDL is the systematic nature of RSDL. Especially in these stories, we see a certain predictability of suffering, in both means and consequences. It is not as much a matter of how many people have been subjected to this chilling practice, but the cold, calculated, planning behind its legislation and implementation.
Q: China legalized RSDL in 2013. Can you briefly explain why you think it did this? For more than a decade, China has been experimenting with administrative, criminal, and extrajudicial procedures to remove, silence, detain, imprison, and disappear regime opponents, from the Custody and Repatriation system of the early 2000s or the use of Black Jails that followed. Effectively RSDL represents China's effort to mask enforced disappearances behind the veneer of the rule of law.
Q: Before it was legalized, China's enforced disappearances still took place in Black Jails and other locations. Why is RSDL worse than this situation? Black Jails were an extrajudicial system for detaining and disappearing regime opponents. They existed purely in the shadows. But RSDL is worse in that it represents the efforts of the state to legalize the impermissible. Under international law there are no circumstances that permit for enforced disappearances, and yet that is exactly what China has done with RSDL.
English and Chinese versions of The People's Republic of the Disappeared.
Q: At the 19th Party Congress in late 2017, president Xi Jinping said he would scrap the secret internal disciplinary system of shuanggui – a kind of RSDL for Party members. Does that give you any hope that RSDL will be abandoned? No. As we have seen many times before, when one system of abuse is abandoned another simply comes in its place. Even if Shuanggui is scrapped, something else will rise in its place. And as for RSDL, the vocabulary in the National Human Rights Action Plan (2016-2020), and the noted expansion of facilities dedicated to RSDL, indicate there is little intention to slow the use of RSDL in Xi Jinping's second term.
Q: Some people may argue while enforced disappearances appears repugnant to many outside China, it is a legal custodial system under Chinese law and there is not a lot we can do about it. On what legal basis can other countries and international bodies urge Beijing to change? Slavery was legal in the United States long after it had been criminalized by much of the rest of the world. Apartheid was legal in South Africa and yet the world galvanized in opposition to its repulsiveness. Slavery, torture, enforced disappearances, these are considered so vile that they are an insult to humanity at large. There is a universal obligation to speak out against them, and in some circumstances a universal obligation to intervene. This is all the more pressing in cases where torture has taken place, and torture is certainly systematic within RSDL.
Q: What do you hope that this book will achieve? I hope this book will shine a light onto the abuses of the Chinese state, and encourage more people around the world to demand action from their leaders in holding the Chinese state accountable to its flagrant violations of human rights law and cruelty toward its people. The point of this book was to provide a thorough picture of what it means to disappear in China because frankly too many people were still unaware or indifferent to what RSDL actually represented.

Q: Graphical environment in gtk+ programming I am reading tutorials of GTK+ programming in gnome developers.
I saw it is somehow different from C# graphical programming in Windows(OS) or even QT creator.
In C# graphical programming, I first design a window (in a designing environment )and then write a program for events of buttons and other kinds of events.
but here in GTK+ there is no graphical environment to design windows and locate buttons and etc.
Is there any way to use such a graphical environment in GTK+? (I don`t want to use QT)

A: You can use Glade (package glade in Ubuntu) to create user interfaces for GTK+
