Q: Umbraco SaveEventHandler code only runs the first time This is a strange problem that I'm having, and I'm not sure whether it's an Umbraco issue or something more high level.
To explain: we have a node where a back-end user uploads a file, and then ticks a box and presses save. When they press save, if the tickbox is ticked, then we should process what they uploaded. To achieve this, I call a function using the Document.AfterSafe += new Document.SaveEventHandler(MethodCall) line, and then I check that the checkbox is ticked, and go from there.
This all works for the first time. But when a user uploads a new file a couple of days later, the code doesn't run. The only way to get it to run, is to re-copy the .dll into the "bin" folder, and then press save.
Does this ring a bell for anyone at all? It seems as though the .dll stops listening for the SaveEventHandler after the first time.

A: The issue was being caused by a global variable being declared before the constructor. The issue was solved on the Umbraco developer site here.

Environmental factors affect brain development, but the problem does not stop there. Environmental exposures persist as body burden, they continue to accumulate, and they have ongoing and active impacts on metabolic and immune function at the subcellular, cellular, organ and systems levels. Therefore autism is more than a developmental disorder. The chronic and persistent features of autism include many treatable features as well as a component of alteration of brain development; the relative contributions of these different aspects is virtually unevaluated, but responsiveness to treatment suggests we have been underestimating the importance of chronic and persistent contributors. Understanding this aspect of autism further underscores the importance of treatment, the importance of research oriented toward environmental contributors and interventions and toward optimization of health and brain plasticity, and the allocation of major resources toward reducing unnecessary suffering.

First World War Project
Home News - February 1918
The winter months were broadly quiet for all combatants, although local raids continued, aeroplanes abounded, artillery duels kept each side in check. However, this seasonal break also saw a German transfer of numerous Brigades from the Eastern Front following the Russian Revolution and the cessation of hostilities there. The significance of this transfer was not lost on the Allies, who also took this time to plan and prepare defensive lines and improve communication. The Allies hoped that the American military leaders could be persuaded fully to commit their forces to the cause. This process evolved through the winter months until March 21st 1918, when the dam broke and the Germans launched their 'final throw' with the Spring Offensive. With so little happening on the ground, attention was given to the many aerial sorties now that aircraft were increasingly sophisticated, able to fly higher and faster and able to carry heavier payloads.
"The Army and Navy Gazette" summarised events on the British (Western) Front.
At dawn on January 5 (the day Robert Stewart/Stuart Clark died in hospital at Exeter) a strong local attack was made by the enemy against the British positions in the Hindenburg line east of Bullecourt. A small party of the enemy succeeded in occupying a sap in advance of the British front trenches. On the remainder of the front the enemy's attack was repulsed with loss before reaching the British positions. The British in the evening successfully attacked and recaptured the sap which the enemy had occupied during the morning east of Bullecourt. In aerial fighting from December 31 to January 6 seventeen hostile machines were brought down, six were driven down, and one was shot down. Eleven British machines were missing.
On January 8 in the morning bye enemy by a local attack, supported by flammenwerfer, succeeded in gaining a footing in the British trenches east of Bullecourt. A counter-attack delivered by British troops was completely successful in restoring the line. Eighteen of the enemy were captured. Early on January 10 British troops successfully raided at three different points the enemy's trenches south-east of Ypres, inflicting many casualties and capturing a few prisoners and two machine guns. On January 12 British troops successfully raided the enemy's trenches east of Loos capturing a few prisoners. On the same date three hostile raids against British trenches south of Lens were repulsed. An enemy raid attempted under cover of a heavy artillery barrage during the night east of Monchy was repulsed by rifle and machine-gun fire.
Aviation – On January 6 much successful work was accomplished by British aeroplanes in co-operation with artillery. A large number of photographs were taken, and 12,000 rounds were fired from machine-guns at hostile troops, transport, and other targets. Nearly three tons of bombs were dropped by our aeroplanes on different objectives. A number of fights took place in the air. On January 7 British machines dropped bombs on Roulers and Courtrai railway stations. On January 9 there was much activity in the air. A great deal of artillery work was accomplished and many photographs were taken. Bombs were dropped on the enemy's billets and hutments, and hostile troops in the trenches were repeatedly attacked with machine-gun fire from a low altitude. On January 10 British aeroplanes carried out a considerable amount of successful artillery work in spite of unfavourable weather. Ground targets were engaged with machine-gun fire, and nearly two tons of bombs were dropped on an ammunition depot in the vicinity of Courtrai and on other targets. On January 13 many bombs were dropped on the enemy's billets and hutments and several thousands of rounds fired into his trenches. From January 6 to 13 ten enemy machines were brought down and five were driven down. Seven British aeroplanes were missing.
On land there has been little of interest to record beyond affairs of outposts and small raids. On January 16 the British carried out a successful raid north of St. Quentin, and on the same date the enemy made several unsuccessful attempts to raid British trenches near Neuve Chapelle and south of Lens.
Aviation – On January 13 there was much useful work done in the air. The fine weather enabled photographic and artillery work to be carried out all day. Bombing and attacks with machine-gun fire from low altitudes were carried out incessantly, over 400 bombs being dropped on an ammunition dump near Roulers and on hostile billets, hutments and railway junctions. In combats seven hostile machines were brought down and three others were driven down out of control. British anti-aircraft fire forced another hostile machine to land intact behind our lines, the pilot being captured. Three British machines were missing. During the night British flying machines dropped bombs on Roulers and Menin; all machines returned safely. On January 14 British squadrons carried out a successful raid into Germany in daylight, their objective being the railway station and munition factories at Karlsruhe. One and a quarter tons of bombs were dropped with excellent results. All British machines returned safely. During the night of January 14-15 a raid was made on the steel works at Thionville, where a ton of bombs was dropped. A further half-ton of bombs was dropped on two railway junctions in the neighbourhood of Metz. All British machines returned. On January 18 three hostile machines were brought down by British aeroplanes and one by infantry, while another was driven down out of control by anti-aircraft gunfire. One British machine was missing. On January 19 over 300 bombs were dropped on miscellaneous targets, including a large ammunition dump near Courtrai, and several thousands of rounds fired at the enemy in their trenches by British low-flying aeroplanes. Five hostile machines were brought down and three driven down out of control. Four British machines were missing.
A small party of the enemy which endeavoured to approach the British positions early on January 23 west of Villers Guislain was dispersed by fire. Another hostile party succeeded in entering the British trenches north-west of La Bassée, but was ejected, leaving prisoners in the hands of the British. Later in the morning the enemy raided a British sap west of La Bassée.
Aviation. On January 20 good visibility enabled British aeroplanes to observe for the artillery all day and to take many photographs in the enemy's forward area. One hostile machine was brought down. All British machines returned. On January 21, at night, over 200 bombs were dropped on aerodromes in the neighbourhood of Courtrai and on the enemy's billets at Roulers and Rumbeke. Raids were also carried out into Germany, two tons of bombs being dropped on the steel works at Thionville, on the large railway sidings at Bensdorf (30 miles south-east of Metz), and on Arnaville railway junction just south of Metz. One British machine was unaccounted for. On January 22 nearly 400 bombs were dropped by the British on the enemy's billets at Roulers and Menin, on a large ammunition dump near Courtrai, and on other targets in the enemy's forward areas. Seven of the enemy's machines were brought down in air fighting and two others were driven down out of control. A hostile observation balloon was brought down in flames. Two British machines were missing. During the night of January 23-24 hostile aerodromes in the neighbourhood of Courtrai were again bombed by British machines, as well as an aerodrome north of Ghent, used by the enemy's night flying aeroplanes. All British aeroplanes returned. On January 24 over 300 bombs were dropped on Courtrai, Ledeghem, and Douai railway stations, on a hostile aerodrome near Courtrai, and on the enemy's billets west of Cambrai. In air fighting seven hostile machines were brought down and five others driven down out of control. Two British machines were missing. At night British machines bombed a German aerodrome north-east of Ghent, as well as other aerodromes near Courtrai and hostile billets round Roulers. In spite of a thick ground mist which rose after the British machines had left their aerodromes, all returned safely. Bombs were dropped on the factories of Mannheim on the Rhine, and also on the docks and on the town. The barracks and railway station of Treves, the steel works at Thionville, and the railway station at Saarbrucken and Overbillig, south-west of Treves, were also attacked. One British machine failed to return. On January 25 the railway sidings at Courtrai and the enemy's billets at Roulers were bombed, as well as other targets. Ten hostile aeroplanes were brought down and six others driven down out of control. One British machine was missing. Five of the enemy's large aerodromes in the neighbourhood of Ghent were bombed, and also billets in the vicinity of Douai. Over 160 bombs were dropped on a new hostile aerodrome west of Tournai. All British machines returned. On January 26 one hostile aeroplane was shot down by anti-aircraft gunfire. On January 27 the railway station and communications at Treves were successfully bombed by British machines, all of which returned safely.
The land fighting last week consisted of affairs of posts and small raids. Under cover of the thick fog the enemy raided a British post on January 31 in the neighbourhood of the Ypres-Staden railway. A few British troops were missing. Another hostile party which attempted at night to approach the British positions west of Gheluvelt was beaten off after fighting. During the month of January the British have captured 171 prisoners, including four officers, and also seven machine-guns and three trench mortars.
The competing navies continued to disrupt and strangle supplies to fighting forces, demoralise and starve home populations. Submarines were evolving as instruments of war.
"On January 14 Yarmouth was bombarded for the third time. A week later came a report from Aegean which seemed like an echo from the distant days at the beginning of the war. Early on the morning of January 20 the Goeben and Breslau passed down the Dardanelles to attack two British monitors lying in harbour at Imbros. The destroyers Lizard and Tigress engaged the enemy and hampered him by smoke screens, but they could do little against such antagonists. The monitors were soon sunk, but the Breslau immediately afterwards ran into a minefield and was destroyed. The Goeben was attacked by British aeroplanes, and in attempting to retreat also struck a mine. Four Turkish destroyers came down to her support but were driven up the Straits again by Lizard and Tigress. The Goeben, listing heavily, was run ashore in the Narrows, and the airmen had hopes of destroying her, but she was eventually patched up and brought back to Constantinople."
There is a lull on all the battle fronts. In spite of the the readjustments in Italy and Palestine the weather has imposed a sort of armistice on the combatants.
There is not much war in progress," writes Mr. Philip Gibbs, "except in the air, where on both sides planes are out trying to get photographs of the enemy lines, because, though the snow hides some things, it tells many secrets where it has melted above the dug-outs, and where tracks of feet go up to certain places, and where guns have been hidden by artful camouflage. War has called a truce because of the snow, except for bursts of artillery fire on both sides, as a demonstration of the mighty power of destruction which is waiting there on our side and theirs for the call to battle when the Spring comes." [From "The War in January 1918"]

FORMATION AND GROWTH OF THE TANK CORPS
The "Tanks," mainly with the object of keeping their existence a secret, originally formed part of the Machine-Gun Corps, under the title of "Machine-Gun Corps, Heavy Section."
There is no specific date on which the formation took definite shape, but it was about 6th March, 1916.
The "Tanks" continued to form part of the Machine-Gun Corps until 27th July, 1917, when the Tank Corps was created by Royal Warrant.
Early in 1916 a Training Centre was established at Elveden. The first six Tank units were formed at Bisley and later moved to Elveden. The Tank unit at this time was the Company and it was not until the end of 1916 that the Corps was reorganized into battalions.
The first four Tank companies went to France in August, 1916, and were first used in action on the Somme on 15th September, 1916.
When it was realized that more Tank units would be required in France in 1917, more accommodation than was available at Elveden became necessary, and eventually the large Infantry camp at Bovington, Wool, in the county of Dorset, was selected as the future home of the Tanks in England. To this camp, in November, 1916, came the remaining one and a half companies of Tanks, one half company having been sent out to Egypt to assist in the operations in Palestine.
Intensive training commenced and five battalions and a Depot Battalion were formed.
At the same time the four companies in France expanded, with the aid of seasoned officers and men transferred from other units, into four battalions. These four battalions were concentrated in what afterwards became the Tank Corps Area, around the village of Bermicourt, some 5 or 6 miles from St. Pol.
From this time onwards, all units required were raised in England, and after about four months' training were sent over to France. In this way four battalions were raised in the late spring of 1917, five more during the late summer and autumn and eight more during the winter of 1917-18. The last eight battalions, however, never went to France, as the Armistice was signed before they were ready.
Since the Armistice, the Tank battalions raised during the war have been slowly disbanded, and of the two battalions (17th and 19th) that remained, the 19th was disbanded on 31st, and the 17th converted into the 5th Armoured Car Company.
New Year 'tornado of fire' brings in the New Year
"The New Year, 1918, was saluted by the British in the West with a tornado of fire directed against the German positions. The change of feeling from that which had existed earlier in the war is worthy of note; it marked the grim determination of the troops to fight the war out to the bitter end, a determination which left no room for even a momentary suspension of hostilities to usher in the New Year. The fire, however, was no splenetic outburst of pointless wrath, without definite aim, but was thrown against points carefully selected and no less carefully registered to ensure a due effect. The heavy guns sounded midnight with twelve simultaneous discharges of all pieces, one for each stroke of the clock, while the field batteries fired salvoes in the same manner. While the "heavies" used high-explosive shell the lighter guns swept the enemy's trenches and the ground behind with shrapnel. The volume of fire was immense and naturally provoked some reply from the Germans, but nothing compared to what we had given the, and a good deal of their fire was in the shape of a protecting barrage in case our heavy artillery discharges portended an attack by the British infantry. But after a time, when nothing of the kind took place, the artillery fire gradually died down and then stopped altogether. The German report, after describing a mythical raid, which was, of course, duly repulsed, and noting an increase of British artillery fire at midnight, adds that there was nothing new to report from any theatre of war."

Teynham man is prisoner of war
East Kent Gazette of 5th January 1918
A little while back we mentioned that Flight Sub-Lieut. V.G. Austen, R.N.A.S. (son of Mr. and Mrs. George Austen, of Teynham), was a prisoner of war in Germany (he had previously been reported missing). It seems that since last July, when he was captured, he has been in hospital at Cassel. He is now sufficiently recovered to be transferred to an officers' camp at Halzminden. It appears he had a miraculous escape from death. He was over the German lines in his aeroplane during a terrific thunderstorm, and mainly owing to these conditions his machine was brought down by anti-aircraft guns, in flames and out of control. The machine dropped some 4,000 feet and Flight Sub-Lieut. Austen sustained severe burns, and concussion. He is only 18 years of age, but a most capable and dauntless pilot.
Hospital Ship Torpedoed
Diss Express of 11th January 1918
His Majesty's Hospital Ship "Rewa" was torpedoed and sunk in the Bristol Channel about midnight on January 4th on her way home from Gibraltar.
All wounded were safely transferred to patrol vessels, and there were only three casualties among her crew, three Lascars being missing.
She was displaying all lights and markings required by the Hague Convention, and she was not, and had not been, within the so-called barred zone as delimited in the statement issued by the German Government.
Bombardment of Great Yarmouth
Yarmouth Independent of 26th January 1918
THIRD BOMBARDMENT OF YARMOUTH. THE GERMAN STORY. OUR ADMIRALTY'S ANSWER. VICAR'S REFERENCE. FUNERAL OF VICTIMS. MEMORIAL SERVICE.
The report of the bombardment of Yarmouth is fantastic. This is the story:-
On January 14th-15th light German naval forces undertook a raid through the southern part of the North Sea. They encountered neither enemy warships nor mercantile vessels, in spite of the fact that they advanced to the north of the mouth of the Thames, close to the English coast. There they subjected the important port establishments from close ranges, and under good conditions of visibility, effective artillery fire, over 300 shots being discharged.
(The Secretary of the British Admiralty makes the following announcement:- With reference to the above German wireless containing a glowing reference to the operations of their light naval forces on the night of the 14th inst., the actual facts are as follows: On the night of January 14th the town of Yarmouth, which is situated nearly 100 miles north of the mouth of the Thames, was subjected to bombardment from the seas. This bombardment in pitch dark lasted about five minutes, when the enemy craft withdrew. It resulted in the death of four persons and the wounding of eight others. Careful investigations has proved that approximately fifty small shells only fell in or near the town during the period, and that no other shells fell on any other part of our coast during that night.)
ARCHDEACON LISLE CARR ON THE RAID.
At the Parish Church on Sunday evening the Vicar, Archdeacon Lisle Carr, who preached, referred, after his sermon, to some happenings of the previous week in Yarmouth, especially the bombardment, and to previous attacks from sea and air. We should be, he earnestly said, very thankful that in all these no more than four persons belonging to the town lost their lives, and so little damage was done. By request of the Vicar, the congregation stood and recited the General Thanksgiving, including a special clause relating to Yarmouth.
MEMORIAL SERVICE AT MARINERS' INSTITUTE.
A touching special service in memory of the two seamen, John Simpson and Thomas Prigent, who were victims of the explosion of a shell on a ship in the harbour, was held at the British and Foreign Sailors' Society's Institute, South Quay, on Sunday afternoon. Mr. Walker, of Withernsea, near Hull, owner of the vessel was present, and brought with him all the survivors of the crew who were able to attend. Mr. E.O. Billett, the Society's local superintendent and missionary conducted the service, in which Mr. H.E. Barker, Organising Secretary for the Society in East Anglia, took part, and Mr. Walker have an impressive address. Mr. Billett also spoke in very sympathetic terms. Alderman T.W. Swindell, Chairman of the local Committee, and Miss Hate Burton, a member of the Committee, were present. Mr. Walker preached to a large congregation at the Institute on Sunday evening.
The funeral of Simpson has taken place at Middlesborough and that of Prigent at Hull, Mr. Billett, who has greatly interested himself in the matter, wired money to Middlesborough to enable Simpson's father to come to Yarmouth in connection with the removal of the body of his son, Prigent's wife also came. Both were, while here, guests of the British and Foreign Sailors' Society, and were given railway tickets for the journey home.
Another seaman, who was injured in the shoulder by shrapnel and is in the Hospital, is progressing favourably.
Private Sidney Watts reported missing
Faversham and North East Kent News of 19th January 1918
Pte. Sidney Watts, the Buffs, youngest son of Mrs. Hadlow, of Hernhill (formerly of Greenstreet), and a brother of Mr. Harry Watts, of Greenstreet, is reported missing.
[Note: Later confirmed he was killed on 2nd December 1917]
Christmas Gifts sent through Greenstreet appreciated by soldiers
TEYNHAM AND LYNSTED MEN IN THE FORCES. HOW THEIR CHRISTMAS GIFTS WERE APPRECIATED.
Letters and postcards from Teynham and Lynsted men serving in His Majesty's Forces, are being received every post by Mr R G Eacott, of Greenstreet, in acknowledgement of the Christmas gifts of cigarettes which were subscribed for the parishioners. The communications all testify how very much the men appreciated this little remembrance from friends at home.
The dispatch of the parcels, which was very kindly undertaken by Mr Eacott and carried out by him with the help of Mrs. Eacott and his assistant, was a pretty big task, the total number sent being 334. The amount expended was £23 8s 4d.
Men serving in the Army abroad each received fifty cigarettes (duty free), while the men in the Navy and those serving at home each received twenty. The difference in the case of the naval men was due to the fat that not less than 200 could be sent duty free, and consequently the number had to be reduced in order to keep the expenditure within the amount subscribed. As it was it was slightly exceeded.
In each parcel was enclosed a card with Christmas and New Year greetings from the people of Lynsted and Teynham.
We give below a few extracts from the letters and cards received:-
Captain T J Elliott Sewell, R.G.A. (B.E.F.), wrote: "I wish that I could send through you to the kind people of Lynsted and Teynham some expression of thanks for their message of goodwill and token of remembrance. I should like to tell them all how much I appreciate their kindness, as no doubt do all my comrades from the two parishes. If you could see me at the present moment I expect you would think me a most undeserving object. I am sitting in a very comfortable old cellar in front of a fine fire in a big open fireplace that we built to-day, and the cellar is lighted excellently with electric light, which was put in for us yesterday. I need hardly say that these are not the usual conditions under which we live, and we dare not hope to enjoy such luxury for very long, though at present the battery is in action sufficiently close for it to be well worth our while to come here for such periods as we have off duty. There is plenty of water in the neighbourhood, but we do not desire to have the water laid on here; we have made up our minds to endure the hardship of doing without that convenience I had better end this letter now, or perhaps people will be driven to the conclusion that there is no war on at all out here, but that all the privations are endured at home. Once more thanking you and those who you represent, yours sincerely, T.J.ELLIOTT SEWELL, Capt. R.G.A.
J. Dalton (Somewhere in France):- "I take the opportunity of thanking the people of Teynham and Lynsted for the cigarettes I received. They are very acceptable to us all out here, and we also know that folks at home do not forget us. I hope that you all had a good Xmas in Blighty; I was lucky, under the circumstance, to get a good one. Best of wishes for 1918." [Note: Later died of Broncho Pneumonia, on 13th December 1918]
J. Holness:- "...Assure you your kind gift is much appreciated – a smoke means so much to us out here. Wishing you a happy new year in which the boys here join, and hope for a speedy termination of hostilities."
W Ford:- "...They came just right, just before I was going up the line again, and I was very pleased with them, for it is nice to get a Blighty smoke, and we still think of home." [Note: Later died from Tuberculosis, on 4th September 1919]
H Wyver:- "...It is good to know that friends at home remember the boys who are out here roughing it. I hope to have the pleasure of meeting you and thanking you personally."
William Gates:- "...We can all enjoy a good smoke, especially those that come from the old home. Best wishes for the new year; hope to be with you all again before another one."

Teynham and Lynsted Men in the Forces. Some More Acknowledgements of the Christmas Gifts.
We give a few more extracts from the letters and cards of Teynham and Lynsted men acknowledging the cigarettes sent at Christmastide by the parishioners:-
Gunner J T Baker:- "Best thanks for the cigarettes. I often think of the dear ones at home and wonder how everyone is getting on, and shall do so more when smoking the good old Blighty cigs. The weather is very bad out here now (Jan. 9th), plenty of snow and very cold. We have been out of action for about a month, and came back to the firing line three days ago. Fritz is very active where we are at present, and we do a good bit of 'dodging'. We are all looking forward to being home soon, as we think the war is more on the verge of finishing."
Corpl. E T Sims:- "The cigarettes, you may be sure, were very acceptable and will be enjoyed very much indeed. We never say No to a smoke. The weather is bitter cold out here now; at the present time it is snowing (Jan. 10th). Shall be very glad when the summer comes again, and, best of all, when the war ends." [Killed 28th March 1918.]
Pte. Fred W Rye, A.S.C. Motor Transport (at present in England):- "We are rather busy just now; we have about 500 lorries to keep in repair and about 3300 men in the shops to look after them. I shall be sorry to leave this Company, but of course it has to come sooner or later. All our lorries are used for munitions transport so you see our time is not wasted by being at home," He concludes with thanks "for all the trouble you have taken for us boys at home and abroad."
Driver G Croucher:- "The cigarettes came at a most opportune moment – when we were all with empty cases."
Others who have written are: W F Dalton, W G Sims, G R Casey, C W Probert, A Gates, E Millen, C A Ruck, H Hubble.
'Illegality' of Dropping Propaganda from aircraft - 10-years penal servitude, 27th January
An incident in October 1917 raised important questions about the legality of using aeroplanes for dropping propaganda pamphlets. On the 17th October a reconnaissance and photographic patrol of Bristol Fighters of No.11 Squadron became involved in a fight with ten enemy aircraft over Cambrai. Two of the Bristols were shot down, and the enemy discovered in one of them, piloted by Second Lieutenant E. Scholtz with Second Lieutenant H.C. Wookey as his observer, military propaganda documents, printed in German, descriptive of the happy lot of a German prisoner in British hands and designed to create a 'will to desert'. The two officers were taken to the German Second Army head-quarters at Le Cateau and there informed that the German Government had notified the Allies in April 1917 that the dropping of pamphlets was considered illegal and that airmen found guilty of the practice would be liable to the death penalty.
The officers were tried by a German Court Martial on the 1st of December 1917. The prosecutor asked for the death penalty for Second Lieutenant Wookey and for ten years' hard labour for Second Lieutenant Scholtz. The officers were found guilty, and each sentenced to ten years; penal servitude, the sentences being announced by German wireless on the 27th of January 1918 when it was stated that they had been passed 'on account of dropping enemy proclamations, in accordance with orders issued based on para 58, sub. Para.9 and with para. 160 of the Manual of Military Law.' [Source: "The War in The Air" by H.A. Jones]

HomeFinanceGreen Capital: New debt instruments disrupt conventional financing
Green Capital: New debt instruments disrupt conventional financing
New debt instruments disrupt conventional financing
Given India's renewable energy targets and Intended Nationally Determined Contributions, the country's green investments could reach $2.5 trillion by 2030. Traditionally, capital for energy projects has been raised either through equity financing (via private equity) and initial public offerings (IPOs), or debt generated through external or domestic commercial borrowings. Conventional financing is increasingly giving way to new models that factor in the risks associated specifically with renewable energy projects via equity participation, credit guarantee schemes and InVITs (infrastructure investment trusts). To this end, traditional bond and securities instruments have evolved into green bonds, masala bonds and yieldcos. These emerging financing mechanisms are becoming the preferred routes to raise capital for renewable energy projects as they provide debt at low interest rates, diminishing the risk component while ensuring steady returns.
Even though green bonds account for only 1.5 per cent of the global fixed income market, their issuance spiked last year to $93.4 billion, of which Chinese issuers accounted for more than a third of the issuance volume. The global green bond market is expected to more than double in 2017 over the previous year, with India becoming one of the key emerging markets.
Green bonds are debt instruments providing climate-focused investment solutions that aim to reduce the overall cost of capital. These bonds can be particularly useful for institutions and organisations such as the Green Climate Fund, the Green Investment Bank and the Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency that invest in clean energy options. Green bonds have emerged not only as a source of low-interest capital, but also as an instrument to diversify the funder profiles of the issuing entity, which may use the funds raised by these bonds to free their bank credit lines. In addition to funding clean energy projects, green bonds can be used to finance sustainable development goals and green economy projects.
Green bonds usually undergo a third-party certification to ascertain that the proceeds are used for projects that generate environmental benefits. These bonds largely fall under two categories – labelled green bonds (certified for green energy projects) and unlabelled green bonds (uncertified issuances linked to projects that have environmental benefits). In addition, there is another subcategory, called climate bonds, where projects associated with climate change activities are undertaken.
The Climate Bonds Initiative (CBI) has identified four types of green bonds – green use of proceeds bond, green use of proceeds revenue bond, green project bond, and green securitised bond. These are differentiated based on how they are being invested in the projects. For instance, US-based residential solar installer SolarCity Corporation entered the bond market through a green securitised bond backed by the solar lease agreements signed with its customers.
India has become one of the largest green bond markets in the world over the past year, owing to the opening up of a price-sensitive market in need of capital for achieving the ambitious renewable energy target. In the first seven months of 2017, India's green bond issuance has reached $2.1 billion, enough to fund over 3.5 GW of renewable energy projects. In fact, in the first two weeks of July 2017, Greenko and Azure Power together raised $1.5 billion from the sale of green bonds.
Renewable Watch takes a look at some of the recent bond deals…
The Rural Electrification Corporation (REC) raised $450 million through the sale of green bonds, oversubscribed by 3.9 times, on the London Stock Exchange (LSE). The bond, which is a part of REC's $1 billion medium-term note programme, is the first of its kind to be traded on LSE's new international securities market. Investors based in Asia, and Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) made up 68 per cent and 32 per cent of the order book respectively. The bond is expected to mature in 10 years, with an annual yield of 3.97 per cent. The funds raised through the CBI-certified green bonds will be used to finance environment-friendly projects, including solar, wind, biomass, and sustainable water and waste management projects across the country.
Azure Power plans to issue the first-ever solar green bond with a value of $500 million. This is a CBI-certified green bond, set to mature in 2022. Even though the company recently completed its IPO on the New York Stock Exchange, the bond is not registered under the United States Securities Act and will not be offered or sold within the US. The proceeds from the bond will be used for refinancing existing debt and other general corporate expenses of the company. According to a report by the Mercom Capital Group, the bond was oversubscribed by two times.
Greenko
In one of the largest offerings in Asia till date, Greenko Energy Holdings has raised $1 billion through the issue of green bonds. The bond will mature after seven years. It is expected that the capital thus raised will be used to refinance the company's first dollar bond sale that had fetched $500 million in 2014. Moreover, the company is planning to use the proceeds to refinance the debt it inherited with the acquisition of SunEdison's 350 MW portfolio last year. According to BRIDGE TO INDIA, the issue has been completed at rates between 5 per cent and 5.5 per cent, resulting in an overall cost of over 9 per cent, including hedging costs.
L&T Infratech
The International Finance Corporation, part of the World Bank Group, has invested Rs 6.6 billion ($103 million) in the first official green bond issue in India by the L&T Infrastructure Finance Company. The company plans to fund solar power projects using the proceeds from the bond. The bonds were issued after the Securities and Exchange Board of India released norms governing green bonds in the country.
With the conventional renewable energy financing mechanisms moving towards new and untested tools such as green bonds, market experts caution against the risks associated with clean energy projects.
Ambiguity surrounding the definition of green bonds is a major challenge as it prevents investors from knowing exactly where their money is being invested. This phenomenon is commonly known as "green washing". Under this, a project developer may use the funds in clean coal or nuclear power projects. For example, the EDF Group, a nuclear power plant operator in France and the UK, recently issued a Euro 1.4 billion green bond. Although these projects technically reduce carbon emissions, they are not 100 per cent green and, therefore, may not be in line with the expectation of the investor.
Transparency and monitoring remain significant causes of concern in the green bond market. The market still relies on voluntary reporting, which often leads to selective information revelation, preventing an investor from making a well-informed investment decision. However, as the market grows, clear guidelines and processes for monitoring the green bond money trail are expected to emerge.
Another challenge plaguing the green bond market is the lack of liquidity. As the market is small, getting in and out of positions may not be easy for investors as the returns are directly linked with maturity. Therefore, only investors with deep pockets and the patience to wait for bond maturity are likely to invest in green bonds, which reduces the number of players considerably.
Meanwhile, high transaction costs incurred during buying or selling green bonds can diminish returns from projects. Other risks associated with the green bond market include low yields, mispricing of bonds and insufficient information available to make an informed investment decision.
"Going green" is currently one of the most popular trends in the economy and is expected to continue in the future, especially in India. With the country promoting innovative financing mechanisms for green energy through favourable regulations, the green bond market is likely to grow. However, the selection of the most appropriate instrument to solve renewable energy financing challenges depends on policy measures and their implementation. To enable a conducive financial ecosystem, the government should engage financial institutions and research organisations on a consultative level for selection, development and implementation of these instruments. Additional steps may be taken to improve the social impact of green bonds. For example, stakeholders could enhance the green bond principles to better address environmental impacts and concerns. Moreover, they can introduce reporting on social outcomes according to international standards for better monitoring.
Macro-level risk reduction in the renewable energy space is required to make the market more attractive for green bond issuers. This will help promote the use of debt-based investments for the development of renewable energy projects in India. At the same time, ensuring offtake of the renewable energy generated and penalising the cancellation of power purchase agreements can become important influencing factors for risk reduction, in turn influencing the future of green bonds in India.

Entry updated 7 August 2022. Tagged: Publication.
German Print Magazine published in English and described as "The Magazine of International Science Fiction". It was edited by Ronald M Hahn, Olaf G Hilscher and Michael K Iwoleit and was an offshoot of their German magazine Nova (see Germany). It survived for just one issue, Spring 2005, and ceased due to poor sales. A neat, perfect-bound review-size edition of 204 pages, the magazine presented stories from ten countries: Argentina, Brazil, China, Croatia, England, Germany, India, Israel, Italy and South Africa. Most stories were seeing their first English translation, though they had appeared in their country of origin some years before, but three of the stories were new, "Her Destiny" by Guy Hasson, "Let's Talk About Death, Baby" by Sven Klöpping and "The Tetrahedron" by Vanada Singh. There was an article by Lavie Tidhar on science fiction in China, and another by Richard Kunzman on the need to broaden the horizons of sf. Brian W Aldiss provided an encouraging editorial. The fact that the magazine was not supported emphasizes the parochial nature of much English-language sf.
In September 2010 Michael Iwoleit relaunched InterNova as an Online Magazine accessible via the parent Nova magazine website. It was initially as courageous as before, presenting stories in English from seven countries including Argentina, Brazil, Croatia, Italy and South Africa. This included recent stories as well as classics, plus a non-fiction section. It began monthly, but became bi-monthly by March 2011 and then less regular, ending after 17 "uploads" (as they were termed) in June 2013. These later issues usually ran only three stories plus an occasional feature. Most stories were from Europe and South America. Despite Iwoleit's determination, and the growing interest in international sf, these features attracted only minor interest.
A "third incarnation" revival was announced in early 2022, with downloadable issues to be released bimonthly. The contents list for #1 dated July 2022 appeared on the website [see links below] in that month, with story and editorial links added subsequently. [MA]

Getting Lucky, Working Hard
Carrie Kerpen
Jul 29, 2017, 04:10pm EDT |
One of the defining factors in a successful career is the ability to say yes early and often. Vera Sweeney, a lifestyle blogger and television personality, has her fair share of "yes stories" in which she's gained a competitive advantage over others simply by being willing to take a risk.
Catching the Blogging Wave
Sweeney is a mother, blogger, social media influencer, and founder of I'm Not Obsessed Media. Her lifestyle and parenting brands help busy women stay on top of the latest trends in fashion, food, family, and travel, and she has been featured by media outlets including CBS News, E! Entertainment, The New York Post's Page Six and Rachael Ray Magazine.
But before all of that, back in the years right after graduation, she was a business consultant for Accenture and Ernst & Young, with a speciality in front-end design. Later, when her first child was born, she decided to become a stay-at-home mom. However, as a self-proclaimed type-A personality, she didn't do well with a lot sitting around while her infant slept, so she started searching for something to focus on in her down-time. When she saw a television show about celebrity gossip and blogs, she became obsessed. So obsessed, in fact, that she started poking around the internet to see what was out there. In 2005, there wasn't much competition, and with her knowledge of HTML, she knew she could build a solid blog and hop on this emerging trend fast. So she did. As she recalls, she called up her husband, who was still at work at Accenture, and said, "Guess what, I'm a blogger! Dinner isn't going to be ready; I'm busy."
Thus, "I'm Not Obsessed" was born. And because not many people were blogging back then, Sweeney was able to build a robust audience simply because there weren't many other places for readers to go. It was all down to timing. "Yes, blood, sweat and tears, too," she says, but also a lot of luck. She was in the right place at the right time, and she jumped at an opportunity.
And then it became time to jump again. In 2009, "I'm Not Obsessed" was at the top of its game. But suddenly, People Magazine and other publications were catching on. The space became much too crowded, and Sweeney sensed she needed to make a shift. She knew she could keep "I'm Not Obsessed" running, but the mommy blog craze was just becoming a thing—if she didn't make the leap right then and there, she would surely get lost in a sea of mom bloggers. Sweeney immediately launched "Lady and the Blog," a lifestyle blog about her family, her fashion and her life. She used every contact she had made through "I'm Not Obsessed," and pitched it with passion and fervor, building it to be a top blog early on. Wanting to establish herself as one of the top mom bloggers, she formed a network of peers in New York, sharing opportunities as she got them and establishing herself as a credible expert in the space.
Vera Sweeney, Founder & Editor-In-Chief of Lady and the Blog
All The Social Ladies
Saying yes early and often allowed Sweeney to build the career she wanted, on her own time, with an ability to stay ahead of the curve. (In fact, she's been so successful at this strategy that her husband left his job at Accenture to join her as a dad blogger and fellow entrepreneur.)
Turning a Blog Into a Full-Time Job
These days, blogging is an extremely crowded space. "Everyone has a blog now. It's a rite of passage," says Sweeney. Even her kids have blogs! That being said, she doesn't discourage anyone from getting in on the action. "I think anyone can be a blogger," she argues. "There shouldn't be something stopping someone wanting to start a blog and express themselves."
But that doesn't necessarily mean that you'll be able to make a full-time living from it. Sweeney explains: "There's a difference between having a blog and having a blog that monetizes." And that difference is the amount of time and effort a blogger puts into it. As for Sweeney, she's put in eleven years of hard work to build trust with her clients and loyalty from her readers.
"Anyone can start a blog, to do it as a hobby or earn a bit of income, nothing should stop that," says Sweeney. "But if you're trying to make it your full-time job, that takes at least 40 hours a week." Like any job, you have to commit yourself. Having a successful blog requires building contacts, building a network, building an audience and putting in the hard work day after day.
"It's my entire life," says Sweeney. "And I don't think people see that side."

PwC posts revenues of $42.4 billion for its 2019 financial year
02 October 2019 Consultancy.asia 3 min. read
Professional services giant PwC has posted global revenues of $42.4 billion for its 2019 financial year to the end of June - up by 7 percent.
The Big Four professional services pecking order has been maintained for 2019, with PwC posting global revenues of $42.4 billion for its 2019 fiscal year to July, up by 7 percent in local currency terms on the previous period's take of $41.3 billion. This places the firm in second globally behind Deloitte, which continues to widen the gap with a $46.2 billion haul for 2019, while Ernst & Young continues to trail in third at revenues of $36.4 billion.
Like its Big Four rivals, as well another professional services giant in Accenture (which has now also overtaken PwC by recording its own recent revenues of $43.2 billion), PwC's growth was driven by the Asian region, which in contributing $6.1 billion to the overall total was up by 9 percent, while the Middle East region also performed exceptionally well over the past year. Still, the Americas and Western Europe combined to bring in a nearly $32 billion share.
"Over the past year, we've continued to focus on delivering value to our stakeholders, working hard to build trust and help our clients solve their most complex problems," stated Global Chairman Bob Moritz. "As a result, PwC businesses grew in all major markets around the world. Our strong growth in revenues has enabled us to continue to invest in our businesses and our people. Investments in technology are making our services more relevant and enhancing the quality of our work."
Also like its traditional accountancy rivals, the balance of PwC's business continues to tilt towards its Advisory practice, which over the past year has grown by over 10 percent to a worth of ~$14.4 billion – to be fast catching up to the firm's Assurance practice, up by 4.6 percent to $17.4 billion. The third of PwC's major service divisions – Tax & Legal Services – grew by 6.4 percent to contribute the remaining $10.7 billion to the firm's 2019 total revenues.
In terms of headcount, PwC now employs over 275,000 people worldwide (across more than 1,000 offices in 157 countries), to be up by a net 10 percent, with 25,000 new jobs created over the past year. In total, nearly 70,000 people joined PwC last year – including around 38,000 graduates and 26,750 professionals – while 760 people joined the firm's partnership ranks worldwide at the beginning of the new financial year, including twelve of those in Singapore.
And PwC's talent base is set to grow further, with the firm announcing a massive $3 billion investment into up-skilling its global workforce and developing and sharing technologies to support clients and communities over the coming four years, including S$10 million set aside in Singapore. The investment will include a variety of in-house and public initiatives, such as skills academies, digital fitness apps, and specialist training in emerging technologies.
"We are kick-starting this with a two-year comprehensive multi-platform programme designed to digitally up-skill our people (locally over 3,500)," said PwC Singapore's Executive Chairman Yeoh Oon Jin. "The programme is intended to drive a culture of innovation where each staff and partner is empowered with the right mind-set and capabilities in data and automation to determine the path they want to take, and even play a part in shaping the profession of the future."
In a discussion with Business Insider, Moritz noted that PwC's "New World, New Skills" training initiative was in part an effort to assuage the fear of job losses among its own employees in the face of automation and other emerging technologies. "If you opt in, OK, we will not leave you behind. I can't guarantee you the specific job that you have or want to have. But I can guarantee you you're going to have employment here."

EAY is pleased to announce the upcoming AGM on Tuesday, March 14 at 5:15 pm in Sport Yukon Boardroom #1. Below is a link to the draft agenda for the meeting and a copy of the revised bylaws that EAY will be putting forward for adoption These revised bylaws will bring our organization in line with Yukon Government's 2015 Societies Regulation amendment.
Following the meeting, there will be a short informative presentation on concussions - current sport best practices. All members are welcomed and encouraged to attend.
EAY is partnering with Equine Guelph on The Horse Portal to provide our members short, easily-accessible online training programs to stay up-to-date with the latest information on equine care and welfare. The inaugural short courses are 'Equine Welfare – Canada's Code' and 'Equine Biosecurity – Canada's standard'. They will be offered March 6-24 and April 10-28, respectively. From Yukon to the eastern islands, horse federations across Canada have come together in partnership with Equine Guelph to offer their English-speaking members equine training and education through The Horse Portal.
The partnership with Equine Guelph enables EAY to offer continuing education and certification opportunities for its members – athletes, coaches, facilities, officials and horse caregivers – throughout the territory.
Each day, new scientific knowledge emerges on how to better care for horses and deal with emerging issues. It is everyone's responsibility to stay current on best health and welfare practices and industry standards.
The Horse Portal was developed to provide short, practical training that horse caregivers can use on a daily basis. Not only will EAY members will be entitled to discounts on the short courses, but they will earn continuing education credits and certificates of completion from Equine Guelph – the horse owner's Centre at the University of Guelph.
Both page one and page two must be completed and submitted. The form must be signed on page two.
Pages three to six contain information on the Capri insurance coverages – both the insurance that comes with membership, and additional insurances that are available for purchase.
Perfect Gift for a Horse Lover, or Treat Yourself!

Throughout October, there will be Tuesday night meetings at Golden Horn School from 6:30-8:30 pm. The next meeting will take place on Tuesday, Oct. 11, 2016. For more information please see the Terms of Reference PDF below.
Part of EAY's mandate as a sport governing body is to facilitate opportunities for members who are interested in training in equestrian-related activities.
c) have obtained relevant insurance to protect themselves and their students.
Another opportunity is working towards becoming an "official". From judges to stewards to course designers, officials are instrumental to competitions - ensuring participants can enjoy safe, fair and fun equestrian sporting events.
EAY would like to encourage any members who may be interested in opportunities such as those listed above to please contact us at equineyukon@gmail.com for further information and funding possibilities.
Canadian Horse Journal and Gaitpost magazine send complimentary issues to EAY on a regular basis. These magazines will be left in the Equine mailbox at Sport Yukon and are available to members on a first come, first served basis. Please stop by and pick up your free copy!
As part of its commitments under its Yukon Sport For Life funding, EAY is sponsoring rural riders in Yukon through the purchase of punch cards for rides at the Indoor Riding Arena. To be eligible to use these EAY-sponsored punch cards, EAY members must live a minimum of 50 km away from the arena. There are still rides available on EAY's punch cards - if you are eligible (live 50 km or more away from the arena, or your horse lives 50 km or more away from the arena) and you ride at the arena, you are welcome to use these punch cards. If you use a ride, please sign and date the punch card for each ride. Cards are located on the table just by the door to the stairs up to the mezzanine. The rides are available on a first come first serve basis, until they are all used up.

Side-by-Side Candidate Comparison in the Riding of Tobique - Mactaquac
Richard Bragdon(Conservative)
Daniel Waggoner(People's Party Of Canada)
Cully Robinson(Liberal)
Meriet Gray Miller(New Democrat)
RATING COMMENTS: In June 2021, this MP rightly voted in favour of pro-life...
In June 2021, this MP rightly voted in favour of pro-life Bill C-233, introduced by Conservative MP Cathay Wagantall, to outlaw the horrific practice of sex-selective abortion, in which unborn babies are killed for no other reason than their sex.
Richard was deemed to be pro-life during a face-to-face conversation with a CLC Leader. He has not yet completed CLC's election survey.
During the 2020 CPC Leadership race, Richard endorsed Leslyn Lewis, the pro-life, pro-family leadership candidate who was also supported by CLC. This is notable because many other pro-life MPs, disappointingly, endorsed the pro-abortion Peter MacKay and Erin O'Toole.
survey returned with all pro-life answers Sept 17, 2021.
Official party position is pro-abortion and pro-LGBT ideo...
Official party position is pro-abortion and pro-LGBT ideology. In fact, Trudeau's candidate selection process, instituted May 7, 2014, forbids any pro-life Canadians from running as Liberal Party candidates. The only way they would be allowed to run, is if they promise to vote in favour of abortion whenever such legislation comes up.
Official NDP policy is pro-abortion and pro-LGBT ideology.
1. Do you believe life begins at conception (fertilization)? Yes (based on interview) Yes -- --
2. Are there any circumstances under which you believe a woman should have access to abortion? no response No All circumstances (based on Trudeau edict) All circumstances (per party policy)
3. If elected, would you vote in favour of a law to protect all unborn children from the time of conception (fertilization) onward? no response Yes No (based on Trudeau edict) No (per party policy)
4. If elected, will you vote to pass laws protecting people from euthanasia and assisted-suicide, and vote to reject laws that would expand euthanasia and assisted-suicide? no response Yes -- --
5. Do you support the conscience rights of health care professionals to refuse to do or refer for medical procedures which they oppose? no response Yes -- --

The Shils Legacy

DTA/Shils Scholarship
Other Supported Programs
Steve Kess, MBA
It is hard to believe that 20 years has passed since we created the Dr. Edward B. Shils Entrepreneurial Fund back in 2002.
Ed and Shirley were with us and, as would be expected, Ed had his hand in all aspects of the program; serving as a mentor for those who supported us, as well as those in the Dental community involved in entrepreneurial activities.
At the time, the subject was young and lots of individuals were doing innovative "out of the box" programs whose new ideas challenged the status quo, and successful ideas became part of the fabric of the future.
I have had the privilege of serving as President of the Shils Fund since its inception, during which we have recognized and supported innovative programs, individuals and projects. As we look to the future, this is a perfect time to transition the leadership of the Shils Fund to other qualified individuals who have served on the Board and helped spearhead its activities and ongoing development. The future demands that entrepreneurship, innovation and leadership in the oral health and overall healthcare community remain vibrant and impactful in order to sustain the importance of and improvement of healthcare for the public – a mission that is worthy of Dr. Shils and his legacy to the community and the profession.
Now, 20 years later, The Shils Fund is developing two value propositions for the future – new branding/new partners. Additional members will be blended into our current portfolio of activities so that the long-term ability of "honoring the past while securing the future" remains intact. I hope you join us for our 20th Anniversary event on October 19, 2022 at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and continue your support of the Shils Fund and its ability to cultivate entrepreneurialism in oral health.
In closing, I would like to thank all of you, our Board, Executive Director, our honorees and the student development program DICE, as represented on our Board by Dr. Alyse O'Kelly. I plan to continue to advise the Shils Fund in the future and continue, where possible, to participate in its programs and special events.
I wish you all a happy and healthy New Year. Keep safe and let's continue to make a difference in the oral health community.

Question : Which is correct happy New Year or happy New Years ?
Answer : "Happy New Year" is correct. "New Year's" (with an apostrophe) refers to the holiday or celebration of the new year, while "new year" (without an apostrophe) refers to the new year itself. So, you would say "Happy New Year" to wish someone a happy new year, but you might say "I'm looking forward to celebrating New Year's Eve" to talk about the holiday.
Here are a few examples of how you might use these phrases:
"I hope you have a happy New Year filled with love and joy."
"I'm looking forward to celebrating New Year's Eve with my friends and family."
"What are your plans for New Year's Day? Do you have any special traditions?"
"I'm excited for the new year and all the opportunities and adventures it brings."
Question : Which is correct phrase happy New Year or happy New Years ?
Answer : The correct phrase is "happy new year." "New year" is singular, so it should not be pluralized to "new years."
Here is an example of how you can use the phrase in a sentence: "I want to wish you a happy new year and all the best for the coming year."
If you are wishing someone a happy new year on behalf of a group of people, you can say something like "We (or all of us) wish you a happy new year." In this case, you are using the first person plural pronoun "we," but you are still referring to the singular event of the new year.
Question : Is Happy New Year movie available on Netflix, Amazon Prime, zee five, Disney + hotstar ?
Answer : "Happy New Year" is the title of a 2014 Indian action comedy film, which was directed by Farah Khan and features an ensemble cast including Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, and others.
It may be yes and no but it available on YouTube on paid version.

Q: postfix cannot send emails I recently migrated some sites from my old server to a new one with the same configuration on DigitalOcean.
The sites working great except for the php mail() function that isn't sending emails.
The php configuration is the same of the old server, and I can't see where the problem is.
The postfix configuration is:
$ postconf -n
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
command_directory = /usr/sbin
config_directory = /etc/postfix
daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix
data_directory = /var/lib/postfix
debug_peer_level = 2
html_directory = no
inet_interfaces = localhost
inet_protocols = ipv4
mail_owner = postfix
mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix
manpage_directory = /usr/share/man
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain
mydomain = MY_DOMAIN
myhostname = MY_DOMAIN
myorigin = $mydomain
newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.6.6/README_FILES
sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.6.6/samples
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix
setgid_group = postdrop

Can you help me?
Thanks.

A: After talk with my server provider (DigitalOcean), I found that they was blocking the outgoing emails from my server.
The problem is solved.
Thanks.
