When Elten and Burroughs shoes were banned: What you need to know
When Elsten and Burroris shoes were first banned by the Irish Sports Authority, the Irish media covered it with great interest.
The two men are one of Ireland's most iconic athletes and have a close bond with the country, especially following the tragic death of former player Robbie Daly in February 2017.
Elsten and Burroughs were among a group of six Irish athletes, along with three Welshmen and one Scotsman, who were banned from competing in 2019.
The bans came after they were charged by the FAI with breaches of the Anti-Doping Authority's code of conduct, a charge that the pair deny.
The ban followed an investigation into the conduct of the Irish players and team by the National Anti-doping Authority (NAAD), which found them guilty of "soliciting or conspiring to manipulate or abuse" a banned substance in relation to the 2017 World Cup.
The Irishman Elten (right) and his Irish team-mate Burrough (left) (Getty Images) The case of Elsten and Burris was one of a number of high-profile cases in recent years in which the Irish authorities were criticised for failing to properly investigate cases of cheating and anti-dancing.
The Irish authorities have faced a number other high- profile cases over the years involving the use of banned substances, including the Irish Rugby Union's alleged involvement in the use of performance-enhancing drugs in 2015, as well as the case of former Ulster player Darragh McInnes.
In December, it was reported that the Irish FA had reached an agreement with the Anti Doping Authority in the wake of the Elten case to avoid having to deal with further investigations in the future.
The agreement comes after the NAAD, which is not affiliated to the Irish Government, announced it was investigating the conduct of the Irish team during the 2018 World Cup and had been informed by the Ireland Rugby Union (IRFU) that they would not be subject to the Anti Rules for the next six months.

Intel's Arc GPUs are designed to take on Nvidia and AMD for PC gaming
The start of 2023 was meant to be India's....
Intel is branding its upcoming consumer GPUs as Intel Arc. This new Arc brand will cover both the hardware and software powering Intel's high-end discrete GPUs, as well as multiple hardware generations. The first of those, known previously as DG2, is expected to arrive in the form of codename "Alchemist" in Q1 2022.
Intel's Arc-based Alchemist GPUs will be available in both desktops and notebooks in early 2022, with Intel seemingly aiming to compete against both AMD and Nvidia here. While we still don't know much about the performance of the first Alchemist GPUs, Intel published a teaser video today that showed prototype silicon powering PUBG, Psychonauts 2, Metro Exodus, and more.
Intel's Arc GPUs will be capable of mesh shading, variable rate shading, video upscaling, and real-time ray tracing. Most importantly, Intel is also promising AI-accelerated super sampling, which sounds like Intel has its own competitor to Nvidia's Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) technology. AMD launched its own FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) answer to DLSS in June, but it's only using a spatial upscaling technique rather than AI-based temporal upscaling. The aim of all these technologies is to upscale games from a lower resolution to provide smoother frame rates without a noticeable compromise in image quality.
"The launch of the Intel Arc brand and the reveal of future hardware generations signifies Intel's deep and continued commitment to gamers and creators everywhere," says Roger Chandler, head of Intel's client GPU business. "We have teams doing incredible work to ensure we deliver first-class and frictionless experiences when these products are available early next year."
Intel's first Arc GPUs will arrive in notebooks and desktops early next year.

Intel is only teasing the brand of its Arc GPUs today and revealing that "Battlemage," "Celestial," and "Druid" are all codenames for its future generations of Arc GPUs. More details and specifics are planned for later in 2021.
So far, Intel has launched its first Iris Xe graphics cards, codenamed "DG1," that use the company's Xe LP architecture. These lower-power cards were mainly designed for pre-built workstations, instead of dedicated gaming rigs. Intel's upcoming Arc GPUs will be based on the company's Xe-HPG microarchitecture, which is a combination of the work Intel has been putting into its Xe-LP, HP, and HPC microarchitectures.

Q: PHP recordset to array: array with all IDs returned by a query I have this query:
"SELECT gs.id FROM table1 gs WHERE gs.external_id = " . $external_id . " ";

I would like have a PHP array with all returned IDs like this:
$arr_ids = array(1,2,34,14);

I know i can do this using while, but i would like to know if there is a function
or a more elegant way for doing this:
$result = array();
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($rs))
{
    $result[] = $row['id'];
}
unset($rs);
unset($row);

Thanks

A: There is a more elegant way. You should by using mysqli functions (instead of mysql). See this question and answer for more information about this topic.
You can use mysqli_result::fetch_all() without using a loop. Following an example how to use it.
// Connect to database
$sqlConn = new mysqli($hostname, $username, $password, $database);

// Build SQL String
$sqlString = "SELECT * FROM my_table";

// Execute the query and put data into a result
$result = $this->sqlConn->query($sqlString);

// Copy result into a associative array
$resultArray = $result->fetch_all(MYSQLI_ASSOC);

// Copy result into a numeric array
$resultArray = $result->fetch_all(MYSQLI_NUM);

// Copy result into both a associative and numeric array
$resultArray = $result->fetch_all(MYSQLI_BOTH);

Coimbra (pronounced Queembra) is located between Lisbon and Porto. Its university is very old but most of its original buildings were destroyed in the major earthquake of 1755. The town is situated on a steep hill, although there is a significant part on the far side of the river Mondego.
Patio das Escolas - a huge pedestrianised square with an 18th century clock-tower and two remarkably ornate buildings.
Zoological Museum - just opposite the Science Museum and very undersung, this is a real gem.
Sé Velha (Old Cathedral) - a good example of a fortified cathedral - some fine Romanesque architecture.
Portugal dos Pequenitos - a theme park with miniatures of buildings from all Portugal's ex-colonies. Many of the 'pequenitos' (children) enjoying it are well into their 50's or 60's!
Conimbriga - best Roman remains in Portugal. Vast area but little above foundations and wall bottoms. Bus trip.
Forest of Buçaco - wonderful forest with a multitude of paths and a hotel like a palace (which you will not be allowed to enter unless you are staying.) Bus trip.
Lousã - very scenic and cheap train ride with time to walk to the castle and the edge of the mountains - from Coimbra Parque Station.
Coimbra has a small airport but international airlines use Lisbon Airport or Porto Airport.
Coimbra B has a station on the main line from Lisbon to Porto. From there trains run a sort of shuttle to Coimbra A, which is in the commercial centre of the city. Tickets will be to the B station but the extra hop to A is included in the price.
There is a long lift from just above the market to near the University Science departments. Use of the lift is included in any bus ticket with validity for a set time. There is also a bus from behind Coimbra A station to the University. There is a third station, Coimbra Parque, from where trains run to fairly close places, including Lousa, on the edge of the Serra of the same name and with a pleasant walk to a castle. The bus station is up Av. Fernão de Magalhães.
To walk from anywhere near the station to the summit of the hill where the University Library is situated invlves a large number of steps and steep roads. Howevr the two cathedrals, old and new, provide stopping points for a rest.
We have a comprehensive list of accommodation in Coimbra searchable right here on Travellerspoint. You can use our map to quickly compare budget, mid-range or top of the range accommodation in Coimbra and areas nearby.

YouTube Suspends Donald Trump's Account, Removes Content, Disables Comments-news
with CLIPREVIEWED learn the articleYouTube Suspends Donald Trump's Account, Removes Content, Disables Comments
(Photo by Mateusz Slodkowski/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images)
YouTube is the latest platform to remove content and suspend Donald Trump. The video streaming site today announced a temporary ban on new content for at least seven days alongside the removal of some new content.
The account, which boasts 2.78 million subscribers and more than 825 million views since March 2015, still features uploads made as recently as Jan. 12—ahead of YouTube's brief embargo.
"After review, and in light of concerns about the ongoing potential for violence, we removed new content uploaded to Donald J. Trump's channel for violating our policies. It now has its 1st strike & is temporarily prevented from uploading new content for a *minimum* of 7 days," the company explained in a tweet. In a follow-up tweet YouTube added, "Given the ongoing concerns about violence, we will also be indefinitely disabling comments on President Trump's channel, as we've done to other channels where there are safety concerns found in the comments section."
According to Gizmodo, YouTube pulled a recent C-SPAN clip of the president talking to reporters, which Trump followers apparently believed to be a call for more violence; dissected in the comments, supporters highlighted phrases like "there is always a countermove" and "our journey is just beginning."
This marks Trump's first strike on YouTube. While full privileges are usually restored after one week, the point remains on the channel for 90 days. Second and third strikes within those three months will result in permanent removal from the site. Each strike expires 90 days from the time it's issued; deleting offending content will not remove a strike. It seems the earliest President Trump could regain control of his account is on Jan. 20—inauguration day.
Trump's YouTube suspension comes after a number of major social networks—including Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and Twitch—banned or disabled the president after he incited the Jan. 6 coup at the nation's Capital that left five people dead.

Ice Road Trucking e-book preview 3. Rules, rules, and more rules.
There's a misconception that ice road trucking is a dangerous occupation. the reality is, it's a highly professional one, but not everyone liked the rules.
Nuna Logistics Ltd. (which hasn't become NLL just yet.), built and maintained the winter road. There were probably different contracts issued for road security, maintenance, dispatching, and other support staff.
The trucking companies were separate entities that worked in conjunction with the partnership. Under the various fuel and freight companies was a mix of company trucks, smaller owner-operator fleets and individual truck owners signed on just for the season with a single unit.
From all the material I'd reviewed, it was obvious they were striving to bring the Ice Road to a higher level of professionalism each season. This seems to translate into more and more rules. Speed, radio communication, spacing between vehicles, and every other aspect of how you do your job is constantly monitored.
Most drivers have a hard time adapting to new rules and change. (Another reason for the high turnover rate). Rather than accepting it, they reject change and end up leaving the ice roads. This is a similar problem they are having in the Oil and Gas industry.
Ice Road Trucking e-book preview 3. Some people just didn't like the changes and new rules.
Change is sometimes hard to accept with older drivers. Part of the reason is society no longer teaches people how to think. We just teach more rules and regulations.
I should have told this quote to my good friend Gord. He was a great guy, a good friend, and he's been around the ice roads and oilfields for a few decades. He gave up the oilfields for the season because a good friend of his really wanted to try it. Gord had been off the Ice roads for about 10 years and I'm pretty sure he didn't like the changes that happened. He had a number of issues with the rules. He ended up quitting over the season, but they talked him into completing the season anyway. I'll tell you why he quit later on.
I ran into him the day after he came back. The conversation went like this.
(Gord still had a good sense of humour even when he was mad).

"I will always recommend Romania as a destination to anyone. It is so complex and interesting, a truly fascinating country."
"I just received the Projects Abroad newsletter and just wanted to commend you all for an outstanding programme. My son, Josh, is currently in Romania with Projects Abroad and is having an extraordinary experience. The staff in Brasov has been fantastic. My husband and I visited our son and met the team - what a dedicated and wonderful group of people.
I have been extremely impressed with Projects Abroad from the moment Josh signed up. I was thrilled (and surprised) when the teaching coordinator (Daniella) called him at home to welcome him to the programme. We have appreciated the informative newsletters that the journalism coordinator (Alexandra) emails us.
Josh's host mother is absolutely delightful (although I'm afraid he won't like my cooking when he comes home!!). The teaching experience has been awesome. And when my son needed to see a doctor recently, they took him to an excellent physician (even better than at home, my son reported). As a parent, it is really comforting to know that your child is in such good hands.
I wanted to thank Projects Abroad - it is clearly a well organised, top notch organisation. We did a lot of research before sending our son across the world, and Projects Abroad has lived up to everything we read (and more). This gap year experience has been life-changing for my son, and will certainly have a positive impact on his future. He has even decided to major in global relations when he enters college next year.

Business park plans for Sidmouth revealed
PUBLISHED: 11:40 16 May 2016
Stephen Sumner stephen.sumner@archant.co.uk
How Fords' business park could look
Fords of Sidmouth has revealed its multi-million-pound vision of a 9.3-acre business park to serve the town's employment needs over the next 20 years.
The proposed layout of Fords' business park
According to the fourth-generation company's outline planning application, submitted this week, the land between Sidbury and Sidford – in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) – is the only option and will deliver up to 300 jobs.
Fords is also planning to develop a Sidmouth Business Centre, a cycleway and footpath between the villages, and it is setting aside a further five acres for flood improvement and attenuation.
The application states: "Fords has identified a multi-million-pound budget for their new expansion plans and delivery of their new premises. This investment, alongside the proposed investment in the enterprise units, will provide Fords with accommodation for their own future business development and also valuable space for other businesses to expand and utilise.
"Over the Local Plan period, the expected capital outlay will be a substantial benefit to the business community of Sidmouth.
"The scheme embodies a forward-thinking approach and substantial time investment is being given to understanding the sustainable options available."
This year, East Devon District Council (EDDC) adopted its Local Plan, a development blueprint up to 2031.
Despite an eleventh-hour bid to remove it, the Sid Valley was allocated 12 acres of employment land north of the A3052.
Fords has its sights set on some 14 acres of agricultural land east of the A375, but the proposed 'net development' area is 9.3 acres. Its application argues that having no development of an employment site in Sidmouth over the Local Plan period is an 'unacceptable conclusion'.
The company claims that developments that provide new employment opportunities are 'well overdue' in the area, as the disparity between wages and the cost of living is widening, particularly for young people.
According to the plans, the greenfield site is the 'only available and deliverable' option close to the urban edge of Sidmouth and there were no 'realistic alternatives'.
This is despite the 'adverse and direct, long-term effect of severe significance' on the landscape character, according to the application. The impact will be mitigated by the planting of 3.7 acres of woodland, 400 metres of hedgerow and a 'substantial buffer' of trees around much of the site, say the plans.
The application states that the town centre cannot meet the demand because of the lack of parking and disabled access.
It also says it is unviable to create a new £1million access so the Alexandria Industrial Estate – home to Fords' current HQ – can reach capacity as an employment site. The estate has been allocated Sidmouth's remaining 1.2 acres of employment land in the Local Plan.
Fords' application allocates 9,120 sqm for business use, 6,840 sqm for 'general industrial' use and 6,840 sqm for storage and distribution – a total area equivalent to three football pitches.
Any retail use would be 'purely ancillary' as showroom spaces. This was a hot topic in the Local Plan inquiry, with councillors eager to ensure the business park did not become an out-of-town shopping centre.
The first phase will see the 5.8-acre southern field developed, and extensive planting. Phase two will see work on another 3.5 acres. Construction of phase two will only begin once 90 per cent of the first phase is occupied – and EDDC said it should not happen until after the five-year review of the Local Plan.
The development blueprint also states: "If the first phase has not been developed by the first plan review, then the employment allocation for Sidmouth should be re-examined."
Fords is proposing a new surface water drainage system to replace the existing, uncontrolled, natural run-off system.
According to the application, the potential increase in traffic will be met within the capacity of the existing and proposed infrastructure. The business park will be accessed via two T-junctions, one either side of the existing sewage treatment works.
A cycle route and footpath will link into the new estate network, together with an upgraded connection via Laundry Lane into Sidford. Devon County Council had proposed a similar cycle route and footpath, but in February put its plans on hold to allow 'further dialogue' with Fords.
EDDC will decide the fate of the outline planning application. Once it has been determined, a detailed application can be submitted for the Fords employment building and a masterplan for other units. It will give the 'highest regard' to design, energy efficiency, safety and security - and will look to support a 'vibrant' economy for the area, says the application.

As an assistant editor at the prestigious Hanhat Publishers, Evie Southiel is entrusted with fine-tuning the manuscripts of the company's most important authors. Her skills as a book witch allow her to manipulate the stories she reviews and bring them to life.
When her girlfriend steals the secret manuscript of Hanhat's best-selling author and leaks it to the press, Evie is exiled to become a journey carrier with the Pack-Horse Librarians in the eastern mountains.
Timid city mouse Evie doesn't know the first thing about surviving in the wilderness, riding a horse, or dealing with the rugged mountain folk and coal miners surrounding the town of Hevis. She does know books, though, and she's determined to do the best job she can. But that goal is jeopardized when her horse gets spooked on her first solo run, sending her tumbling out of the saddle and into a mysterious woman's life.
Evie and the Pack-Horse Librarians
Laurel Beckley © 2020
A hard knot had formed in Evie's throat since she was summoned into Mr. Lodge's corner office, and now the butterflies in her stomach transformed into a hive of angry bees threatening to upset her meager breakfast.
Mr. Lodge gave another long humph, the fifth in as many minutes.
Evie shuffled in her seat, trying to keep her fingers knotted together in her lap, struggling to prevent her feet from tapping with anxiety.
After an eternity, Mr. Lodge looked up from the newspaper, placing it carefully onto his desk. He closed his eyes. When he opened them, his usually cheerful expression was gone, replaced with a stern man Evie didn't recognize.
"Miss Southeil," he began, then stopped. Another sigh. He closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his long nose. Evie unconsciously mimicked the gesture, pushing her own wire-rimmed glasses further onto her face. She caught a glimpse of her ink-stained fingers from the corner of her eye and hastily dropped her hands into her lap, letting her dull-gray skirt envelop them.
Mr. Lodge opened his eyes. "Miss Southeil," he repeated. "Of all the journeys present, I might have expected this egregious misstep from anyone else. But not from you."
Evie bit her lip, trying to prevent the knot in her stomach from bringing up actual food onto Mr. Lodge's manuscript-filled desk—manuscripts she had nurtured into books to be published and read and devoured by the hungry readers of historical fiction. Even among the handful of journey-rank editors at Hanhat Publishing, Evie was special. She knew she had the gift of turning rough sentences into delightful bouquets for the eyes, and yet here she was. Quivering in her boss's office. Oh, how she had messed up.
Mr. Lodge removed one manuscript from the pile and placed it directly underneath the damning newspaper. Evie stared at it, trying to will away the blasted thing's existence.
He tapped the stack of papers with an inky finger. "How did you let this come to pass? Our competitors are breathing down our backs, eager for any hint of weakness, and you give them the scoop of the year!"
"I-I'm sorry, Mr. Lodge," Evie whispered, ducking her chin to prevent tears from escaping. It wasn't her fault. Well, it was, but it wasn't. "I won't—"
"You're damn right you won't!" Mr. Lodge slammed his hand onto the table.
Evie squeaked, jumping in her seat.
He reeled in his anger, grimacing at the appendage as though alarmed that such an outburst had come from his body. He heaved another sigh. "Forgive me, but you know as well as I that Mr. Cabot's novel was to be the highlight of our publishing year. Having the plot…splattered across the gossip rags is an embarrassment to the company and the Guild."
Evie wanted to curl up inside herself until she became nothing more than a ball of gray cloth, hidden from the world.
"I'm sorry," she whispered, blinking furiously.
Mr. Lodge's face softened as did his voice. "Evie, I'm not going to fire you."
She lifted her head, hopeful.
"You're the best assistant editor I've had in years, but I think this promotion came too fast, too soon." He shook his head sadly. "But it's no use having you here waiting for this whole scandal to blow over. It'll harm the company's reputation, and to have your face associated with this whole thing…" He paused, staring at her until she lifted her head. She tried to meet his gaze and failed. Eye contact had always been a struggle for her. "I'm sending you away," he declared.
With her head bowed, Evie nodded. "I'll clear my desk and head to the printers' office." The printers' office was located five blocks away in the factory district. Dark, dingy, labor-intensive, and where Hanhat Publishing usually sent their screw-ups for menial labor.
"No, Evie." She looked up, startled. "It's going to be farther than that. I've reassigned you to the Librarian's Guild."
Evie's heart lifted. At least she'd be near books. Near words and stories and life. Not confined to operating the massive printing machines, spending every minute in danger of getting an industrial injury. She blinked, realizing that she was still being sent away. Being transferred from one guild to another was hardly unique, but certainly not a common practice.
He went on. "Think of this as an opportunity, a chance to use your journey time to, well, journey."
Journey? Evie wondered. Members of the Librarian's Guild were stationed in every city, town, university, and village in Isten with a large enough population to support them, but they certainly did not travel.
"You'll be part of the pack-horse librarians stationed in District Forty-five," Mr. Lodge said. Obviously interpreting Evie's miscomprehension as shock, he added, "This will be a two-year assignment. After that, you may return to Hanhat Publishing. I'll always need copyeditors."
"Th-thank you, Mr. Lodge," Evie stuttered, lips moving automatically, mind still trying to figure out what had happened. Pack-horse librarians? Two years? And a copyeditor? She pressed her fingers to her lips, struggling to choke down bile and disappointment.
Her supervisor slid a folder across the table. It was depressingly thin. Mr. Lodge smiled, a mixture of kind and condescending that hurt worse than any of his words. "Someone will come by your flat to collect any remaining manuscripts. You're dismissed."
Evie rose from her chair to stand on legs she wasn't certain would work and took the folder with shaking hands. She pressed the packet of papers to her stomach and bolted, bumping into her fellow journey, Anda, on her sprint to the bathroom. Once inside, she emptied the contents of her breakfast, along with the entirety of her previous life, into the toilet.
Someone knocked softly on the bathroom door, interrupting Evie's hundredth heave.
"Evie?" The voice was hesitant.
"One minute." Evie wiped her mouth and ran cold water over her wrists and face, trying to fight the nausea. She avoided the mirror above the sink. Her eyes were surely red and puffy, her dark skin sallow and splotchy. She didn't need a mirror for that information.
She opened the door, nearly jumping as her girlfriend Anda burst inside and locked the door behind her. "Evie, I just heard, and I'm so sorry!" She tried to wrap her arms around Evie in a hug.
Evie pushed her away, staring into the face of the girl she had loved so fiercely until that moment in Mr. Lodge's office. "How could you?" she demanded.
Anda's eyes widened innocently. "Whatever do you mean?" she asked, placing a hand on her chest.
Rage bubbled in Evie's chest, replacing the nausea and sickness. "I let you review that manuscript in confidence, Anda," she hissed, "to help you polish your editing skills."
If possible, Anda's eyes opened wider. "Evie," she cooed, "I gave that manuscript back to you a week ago. You must have misplaced it. You know how forgetful you are."
Evie shook her head. Tears continued streaking down her cheeks, and she wiped them off vigorously with her sleeve, her fist clenched tightly.
The story had broken the night before, and since Evie had first found out about it as she entered the building for work that morning, she'd had the sinking suspicion that Anda was behind her situation. Evie was allowed to take manuscripts home and help smooth them over, but only with the explicit understanding that no one else could review an author's latest creation.
"I returned that manuscript to Mr. Lodge a week ago. Besides me, no one but you had hands on it."
Anda lips twisted in a facsimile of a smile. There was something predatory in her gaze, which Evie had seen her deliver to their fellow apprentices and journeys but never to her.
"Evie, dear, you know it wasn't me. Just accept responsibility and take your punishment at the pressman's office." She bit her lip and looked down, fluttering her eyelashes. The predatory gleam disappeared, replaced by the image of a remorseful girl. "I think that, with all this in mind, we shouldn't be together anymore." Her eyelashes fluttered again. "I mean, an assistant editor with a disgraced pressman? That would taint my career."
Evie gasped, tears beginning to spill out again. Anda's betrayal was worse than anything she had ever anticipated, but to end their four-year relationship so… callously… was something else.
"I can't believe you," she whispered. "I knew you were ambitious, but—"
The remorse vanished, and Anda was replaced by a hardened creature Evie had never seen before.
"But what? I've been here eight years, Evie. Do you know how hard I've worked only to be passed up by a girl who just got promoted to journey? This position is my due. Not yours." She sniffed. "And clearly you don't have the maturity to handle such a job."
Evie placed a hand over her mouth, trying to stuff her sobs back down her throat as Anda threw open the door and stormed out.
Tears overwhelmed Evie's senses as she slid down the wall and hit the tiled floor. This was so, so much worse than she had ever imagined. She'd lost her job, been betrayed by her girlfriend, and was being sent away in disgrace.
How would she tell her parents?

I want to show the previous week date on Title of panel.
Can anyone have some thoughts for it?
You can run a search to calculate previous week date one of the ways would be through makeresults and using relative_time command.
Then you display the same using HTML panel with formatting of your choice.
Thanks Niketnilay..so we cannot have dynamic title, but need to include html tags.
@chintan_shah... You can print this in Title also. I just used html as an example.
UDP Syslog input, current timestamp changes to a year in the past.


On Tuesday, November 20, 2018, the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) released a notice regarding an ongoing outbreak of E. coli O157 H7 related to romaine lettuce. The Centers for Disease and Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States have also issued statements about the outbreak.
1. Why is CDC recommending all romaine consumption be stopped but PHAC is limiting it to Ontario and Quebec?
o CDC and PHAC are in regular communication regarding potential and ongoing outbreak issues, but their public statements are tailored specifically for the countries in which they have jurisdiction. The PHAC advice to consumers is predicated on the distribution of confirmed cases within Canada which is currently limited only to Ontario and Quebec. The CDC statement would have been tailored to the perceived risk their investigation uncovered and, in this case, it includes the entire United States.
2. Where was romaine lettuce sourced from during the outbreak?
o The most likely source of the implicated romaine is one of the California growing areas.
3. Where is the romaine lettuce currently being sourced from?
4. What is our industry doing to determine the source of recent problems and to ensure these outbreaks do not occur in the future?
o PHAC, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and U.S. regulatory bodies are actively investigating and tracing the source of the contamination in Romaine lettuce, to identify the specific source of contamination. These organizations will continue to monitor the site and are working with industry to ensure the safety of product grown in these sites in the future. Members of the Leafy Greens Marketing Agreements (LGMA) of California and Arizona are collaborating with food safety experts, academia and government to develop improved methods of growing, harvesting and processing romaine lettuce to continuously lower the risks associated with the product.
5. What are the signs and symptoms of an E. coli infection?
o E. coli symptoms may include: vomiting, headache, mild fever, severe stomach cramps and watery or bloody diarrhea. In extreme cases, it may cause a condition known as Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome which can destroy the kidneys. For more information, please reference the PHAC notice or PHAC E. coli information link.
6. What should a consumer do if they suspect they may have an E. coli infection?
o In most cases healthy individuals will recover from an E coli infection in a week or so. During that time they should avoid any food preparation, practice good personal hygiene habits and rest. Individuals who are in a high-risk category (i.e. pregnant, immune compromised, elderly, very young or dealing with a chronic condition) should seek immediate medical attention from their primary healthcare provider or via emergency services.
7. How long will this outbreak last?
o It is unknown how long the current outbreak will last, but industry will follow the government's recommendations and take steps to ensure consumers can have confidence in the foods they purchase and consume. No additional cases of E. coli infection in Canada relating to romaine lettuce have been confirmed by the Public Health Agency of Canada after the week of October 28th – November 3rd, 2018.
We value the health of Canadians and the global community above all else.
We are committed to supporting the highest food safety standards along all steps of the produce supply chain.
CPMA is continuing to monitor the current situation and will update members immediately as any new developments are known.
CPMA remains in close contact with the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC)/Health Canada, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and colleagues in other fresh produce associations impacted by the outbreak.
Fresh fruits and vegetables remain an essential part of a healthy diet.


I suggested this panel because my new work involves these elements, and I'm delighted to have remarkable women on the panel with whom I've had conversations about this. Panelist are editor Debbie Notkin, and writers Nisi Shawl and Pat Murphy.
Time, Memory and Contingency are part of everyone's work. I'm working with them in visual art, writers work with language and this is what I'm hoping we'll have an exciting conversation about. We'll be discussing, among other things, how these elements come up in their work and thoughts?
My new project is Memory Landscapes: A Visual Memoir. I want to travel through time, the person I am now visiting the persons I used to be. But memory isn't linear, so the trip is layered and interwoven, because inside the head everything happens at once. I want to make an autobiographical visual memoir of my personal life and the larger history I've lived in.
Most people have photographs and memory objects that evoke their interwoven memories. In my images many objects are fragments of my past that I've carried with me into the present. The compositions of the images make a piece of my layered memories.
Life as lived is incoherent, we impose narratives on the telling of our lives. This should make for interesting discussion.
I had already been thinking about iPad art, separately from any project. With an iPad, for the first time one can make work where viewers everywhere see the original art, not reproductions or recreations. iPad art is also illuminated from within, presenting the opportunity to express the layering of memory. In a sense, I am creating memory landscapes that are iPad still lifes. They are created completely for the camera, except for cropping there is no photoshop.
I'll be showing the work I've done so far.
I'm excited about being part of this and am expecting to learn a lot from Debbie, Nisi, Pat and the audience.
