Gideon Alert: Facing an $18M indigent defense deficit, Iowa can no longer afford its current criminal justice system
BY Jon Mosher on Thursday, April 7, 2011 at 2:56 PM
Indigent Defense System
The Iowa State Public Defender is a 100% state-funded, statewide agency. Though the majority of indigent defense services are provided by staffed public defenders, the State Public Defender contracts with private attorneys to provide representation in areas not covered by staff attorneys and to handle overload of the primary system. On March 4, 2011 the State Public Defender posted a message on its website that the indigent defense fund used to pay private and contract attorneys was out of money. More than a month later, lawyers are still not being paid to represent indigent clients.
Gideon Alert: Iowa S.Ct. finds rigid flat-fee contracts "substantially undermine" right to counsel

Contract Defender
Public Defense Reform
Salary | Compensation
The Iowa Supreme Court handed down a unanimous decision in Simmons v. State Public Defender, No. 07-0870 (Iowa Nov. 24, 2010), finding that a rigid fee cap of $1,500 per appellate case would "substantially undermine the right of indigents to effective assistance of counsel." The Court explained that "inadequate compensation will restrict the pool of attorneys willing to represent indigent defendants" and that "the low level of compensation threatens the quality of indigent representation because of the perverse economic incentives introduced into the criminal justice system. … Low compensation pits a lawyer's economic interest … against the interest of the client." Reasoning that the fee caps at issue in the case would have a "profound chilling effect" on the right to counsel and that the legislature intended to uphold the right to counsel, the Court held that Iowa rules imposing a hard-fee cap are unenforceable.

Trim-Tex Motorsprts Bolsters Impressive Team with Addition of Josh Bilicki
Trim-Tex Drywall Products' team of skilled motorsports competitors just got even stronger with the addition of professional driver Josh Bilicki.
Staring with kid-karts at the age of four, Bilicki has excelled on every level and worked his way up to the highest echelon of the sport. 2015 marked Josh's first year of professional sportscar racing in the IMSA Continental Tire Sportscar Challenge and in 2016 Josh made his NASCAR Xfinity Series debut. This season Billicki will compete part-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, part-time in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series (driving the No. 51 Chevrolet SS for Rick Ware Racing), and will compete in several SCCA National races as well. He will be donning a Trim-Tex helmet each time.
"I'm very thankful to be announced as a Trim-Tex Athlete for the 2017 racing season. Trim-Tex has helped me a tremendous amount for several years now, but always as a primary sponsor on our Spec Miata and in the IMSA Continental Tire Sportscar Challenge," Bilicki said. "It's been great to grow and further my career with the company and build to our relationship, and I'm looking forward to carrying the Trim-Tex colors on my helmet at my NASCAR Cup Series debut at Sonoma Raceway in June. I can't thank Joe (Koenig, Trim-Tex President) and the entire Trim-Tex family enough for the support."
Koenig shares in Bilicki's enthusiasm, welcoming him to the team.
"Josh is a tremendous talent and we are thrilled to have him out there representing Trim-Tex," Koenig said. "It's going to be an exciting season. We are very pleased to have so many talented racers on the team."
Bilicki joins IMSA sportscar standout Trent Hindman, 16-time Top Fuel Motorcycle champion Larry "Spider-Man" McBride and NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle racer Joey Gladstone on team Trim-Tex motorsports.

La cala de San Pedro se encuentra a unos 4 kilómetros de la barriada nijareña de Las Negras (provincia de Almería, Andalucía, España).
Cuenta con un manantial que ha hecho de ella un oasis alrededor de las áridas tierras del parque y un islote.

Descripción
Su flora es subtropical. Las tranquilas aguas y la calidad de playa nudista, además del hecho de no tener acceso en coche, la han convertido en el lugar donde se asienta una pequeña comunidad hippie.

La playa es de aguas cristalinas y tranquilas siendo un paraíso para el descanso donde podemos encontrar abruptos fondos rocosos a ambos lados de la cala, en donde habitan majestuosos meros y grandes praderas de poseidonea en el centro.

Actualmente no está permitido acampar, pero es frecuente en la estación estival ver multitud de tiendas de campaña a lo largo de toda la orilla de la cala lo que aumenta su disfrute. Permite así un impacto mínimo al medio natural en el que no son necesarios hoteles para visitar y quedarse gozando de este precioso pequeño rincón del parque natural del Cabo de Gata.

Acceso a la Cala de San Pedro
Para acceder a la Cala de San Pedro, es a pie (40 minutos a marcha rápida) o en barco (unos 6 euros por viaje).

El camino a la cala es sencillo y sin desniveles importantes, sólo al principio del itinerario en que hay una pendiente pronunciada, el camino discurre por una vía minera y por un paisaje de gran belleza natural, al final del camino, antes de llegar a la cala, el camino se estrecha quedando a borde de acantilado y hay que extremar las precauciones, el resto del trayecto no tiene ningún peligro. Es recomendable acercarse a primera hora de la mañana o a última hora de la tarde(con linternas), o bien estar provistos de bebidas para evitar la deshidratación.

Renewables in Remote Communities
Conference Research Registration Program Advisory Committee Travel Sponsors Contact Us Updates
Renewables in Remote Communities Supporting the advancement of Indigenous-led clean energy projects
Apr. 25, 2022 8:00am to Apr. 28, 2022 5:00pm Whitehorse, YK conference - Public event
Advancing the business case for clean energy in remote communities
RiRC2022 is a four-day event at the Kwanlin Dün Cultural Centre, Whitehorse Yukon from April 25 to 28, 2022. The two-day main conference, supplemented by activities on the pre-conference and post-conference days, focuses on the collaboration, climate and energy policies and the financial pathways for renewable project proponents necessary to advance the business case and further accelerate an Indigenous-led clean energy transition in remote communities across Canada.
The Pembina Institute will produce and disseminate research on progress to date on reducing remote community reliance on diesel as a source of power , measuring reductions against targets; updates on energy policies as they affect remote communities; updates on reforms made to the costing structures used by utilities; and a summary and assessment of financial policies and opportunities to attract private sector financing through government policy action. All materials will be forwarded to participants prior to the conference and will help facilitate discussion and collaboration.
RiRC2022
The 2022 RiRC conference will bring together stakeholders, decision makers and leaders working in and with clean energy projects in remote communities. With the goal of accelerating an Indigenous-led transition to clean energy in remote communities, key areas will be covered including:
Financial opportunities for private financing and private/public investment strategies
Climate and energy polices as they affect remote communities
The regulatory changes required for more flexibility in costing structures that inform power purchases
Actions required to strengthen the business case for sustainable investments in renewables
The conference will highlight the importance of social and economic reconciliation as central to a just energy transition and the ways in which the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) can advance Indigenous leadership in clean energy.
Presentations, panel discussions and round-table collaboration will take place over two plenary days of the four-day conference. These sessions will allow participants to share knowledge, expertise, and lessons learned from their work in clean energy. Topics of discussion will cover opportunities to attract private financing through sound and consistent climate and energy policies and ways to accelerate the clean energy transition using market-based approaches that enable ownership and leadership opportunities for Indigenous communities.
Days one and four are dedicated to providing space for Indigenous leaders, project proponents, clean energy companies, utilities, academia, government and interested parties to host informal discussions and offer presentations on topics of their choosing. Sessions will be held at the Kwanlin Dün Cultural Centre. A Call for Proposals for these sessions will be issued in late December and the schedule will be announced in March 2022.
Network, share, collaborate and build relationships among stakeholders from a broad range of backgrounds and fields of expertise in the energy sector.
Recognize and celebrate the successes of Indigenous-led clean energy projects and learn more about remote communities and their path to clean energy.
Explore how better financial approaches, funding models, energy policy and regulatory changes will accelerate the transition to clean energy in remote communities and attract investment.
Highlight enduring policies that prioritize Indigenous sovereignty and open new opportunities to Indigenous communities. Establish practical next steps and forecast how best to build on momentum in support of accelerating the clean energy transition in remote communities
Conference outcomes
Continue to build collaborative, strong relationships
Conference proceedings summarizing the information shared at the conference
Further collaboration mechanisms and a plan to develop a roadmap for a continued reduction in the use of diesel
NEW THIS YEAR! You can also attend RiRC 2022 virtually
All the sessions taking place during the two-day plenary will be livestreamed. Some of the sessions and presentations offered on the day before and the day after the plenary will also be hosted virtually. Attendees will be able to access the sessions online through our Whova platform which includes interactive features to allow participants to still feel connected to the conference and engaged with the activities and discussion.
Conference tickets will be available to attend the virtual conference when the in-person tickets go on sale. Our hope is to increase accessibility to the conference by extending it to anyone unable to travel due to COVID-related or any other challenges.
In light of the ongoing COVID situation we will be putting in place several measures in compliance with orders from the Government of Yukon and the Kwanlin Dün Cultural Centre's COVID policy. Proof of vaccination and masks will be required for entrance into the Kwanlin Dün Cultural Centre. Other safety measures and specifics will be announced as the situation evolves. See websites (linked) for updates on the situation.
The RiRC2022 conference materials that will be distributed prior to the conference will provide an in-depth consideration of the following issues:
Indigenous clean energy progress and aligning with Canada's climate commitments — How far have we come, how far do we have to go and how are we tracking against Canada's commitments to reduce diesel dependency in remote communities?
Financial policies to improve the business case — Analysis of different policies to improve the economic reality of remote community projects, and how government policies can support greater access to capital. Separately, a report on how ESG, socially responsible, and impact investing from the private sector can support Indigenous-led clean energy projects. The report will also cover how government investment and policies support and attract new revenue streams.
Utility business model reform — The business model employed by utilities is not aligned with Canada's climate targets. How can the business model be reformed to enable remote communities to accelerate energy efficiency and renewable energy projects? Our research examines the changes needed in the utility sector and regulatory environment to support more Indigenous-led energy projects.
Registration and ticket sales
If you have any questions regarding registration, please contact Madeleine Whitestone. Tickets to go on sale mid-February, 2022.

The company is comprised of three divisions: 1) Extension and Advisory Services; 2) Quality and Food Safety; and 3) Bioventures, Business and Innovation Development. Our teams work with clients to address production issues on farm, help them create internationally recognized quality and food safety programs, assist them by offering leased incubation space for new product development, and work with them to conduct research to transform underutilized land- and marine-based bioresources into high-value products like nutraceuticals, functional ingredients and non-food based bioproducts.
The Innovation Centre is a key component of Perennia Innovation Park's plan to be the premiere incubator and accelerator for bio-based companies in Atlantic Canada. It houses an environmentally-friendly 25,000 square foot facility supporting the commercialization of primary agriculture and marine-based inputs into high value-chain products. Opened in early 2012, the Centre helps bio-resource companies at all levels of growth — from determining feasibility to producing small product runs and full commercialization. All tenants can customize leased space to meet their unique needs. In addition to leased space, tenants also have access to the facility's pilot plant, and analytical and product development labs.
Perennia has one of the most comprehensive quality and food safety teams in Canada. We offer services that support agriculture and seafood companies in building and maintaining consumer confidence in their brand by putting in place programs to ensure products are safe to eat. We can also support to your food safety team including: policing of your food safety program; interim support to cover an interruption in on-site QA coverage; mentoring and coaching; facilitating change; pre-audit readiness; and post-audit recovery.
Pilot Plant A 1200 sq ft pilot plant is available for use by clients on a fee-for-service basis. This facility is available for processing agri-food and bio products. An assortment of pilot-scale processing equipment is in place and under procurement for food processes and bio-products. Equipment includes ultrafiltration, freeze drying, rising film evaporation, spray drying, modified gas packaging, vacuum infusion, rapid freezing, filling and sealing technologies. Most equipment is portable and can be moved into location and connected quickly to overhead utilities.
Analytical Laboratory The Centre offers analytical support (microbial and chemical) to the agri-food and ag-bio industries. In the microbiological lab, our scientists assist clients in identifying potential risks and developing appropriate risk management systems. Staff can also provide assistance with the implementation of Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs to ensure safe production from start to finish. The chemistry services provide support and testing to identify potential toxic substances in the product.
Food Product Development Laboratory The Centre is equipped to help clients develop novel food products and processes. The lab is used for formula development, sample production, product re-engineering, extraction and purification of bioactive compounds. Sensory evaluation through tasting panels can be arranged through partner facilities. Sensory analysis is used to measure food attributes such as taste, texture, appearance and odour.
We take our time with clients to ensure we understand their situation and can provide guidance on next steps. We have many resources available to help us with this assessment including industry contacts, food safety auditors, regulators, facilitators and food safety experts. We prefer to do an on-site gap assessment to scope out the work required. This provides us and the client with an opportunity to identify specific areas where changes are needed.
Once a project is green-lighted, we commit the necessary resources to complete the project. Our projects are rolled out using the ISO Management concept of Plan, Do, Check, Act. Our consultants work with each client to develop a relationship that supports the project goal. We stay active with current customer expectations, audit standards and industry practices to ensure that your food safety program is practical and manageable.
The Innovation Centre can provide advice and support to tenants and clients for access to provincial and federal agency programs that may be advantageous to their corporate development needs.
The University Linkages Program actively works to create beneficial relationships between Centre client companies and the Faculty of Agriculture at Dalhousie University. Students can become involved with Centre companies through course projects, internships and part-time work. Companies win by gaining access to no or low-cost quality work and access to a future job pool; students gain a valuable learning experience and career development opportunity.
In some instances, opportunity is available to partner with the faculty of Agriculture at Dalhousie University and access federal research programs such as NSERC grants to assist development in the of product/process and technology development needs.


We love you, Pastor Mike & Dina … and your beautiful family! God bless you!!!!
It's been an honor to serve under your leadership, Mike. You and Dina will be missed, no doubt; MSC won't be the same without you.
I appreciate your gracious, humble attitude and faith you're exhibiting during this rough transition. Our Lord is sovereign indeed, and has great things in store for each of us. Just as He's blessed us during this past season, He is going to bless us during the upcoming one.
My wife and I started attending MSC in February of last year and it has been a blessing…YOU…have been a blessing to us! I have also gone through trials during my career in the Air Force; But God has always been faithful and it truly has been amazing at the doors He continued to open in my life when times seemed so uncertain. I pray for you and your family that those MANY doors will become clear to you. Pick one door…PRAY…and open it to God's future blessings!
Mike — please know that I am steadfastly committed to honoring you and your family. If I hear any gossip or speculation I will put an end to it. You have poured your life into serving others, sacrificing so much, and have earned a good reputation. As much as I am able, Mike, I will allow nobody to tarnish your good name.
I pray this is a restful time for you and your family, that you are able to make the most of this season of not having to be "on" 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Expect a card in the mail shortly, my friend!
We miss you and your family. We look forward to worshipping with you throughout eternity! Maybe you can take a few hundred years to teach me to play the guitar then 😉 We Love you and your family and will always remember the many joyous times we entered the throne room together with songs of praise and adoration! Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty… We know that God is soverign and has a plan for you! Keep bringing a smile to the Lord's face through use of the gifts He has given you!
my family and i are deeply sadened for loosing you at the church.


RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - New Gov. Roy Cooper plucked up another legislator to serve in his Cabinet, naming a House member Thursday to lead the department that manages North Carolina's parks, protects natural areas and preserves the state's history.
Rep. Susi Hamilton, D-New Hanover, will head the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources, which also oversees aquariums, historic sites and the State Archives. Last week, Cooper announced Rep. Larry Hall, D-Durham, would lead the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs.
Cooper has now named all but two members of his official Cabinet - those positions leading the Department of Revenue and Department of Information Technology.
A new state law approved by the Republican-controlled legislature requires 11 department heads for Cooper to be subject to confirmation by the state Senate. The governor has challenged that law in court and says his Cabinet choices are working now. Only four of his Cabinet choices, however, had been officially sworn in as of Thursday afternoon, according to Cooper's office.
Hamilton began serving in the legislature in 2011 and was re-elected in November. In the House she was known for trying to reinstate tax credits for film production companies and the preservation of historic homes and buildings. The historic preservation credit was revived in 2015. The film incentive remains a scaled-down grant program.
Hamilton said her first significant job after college was at what was then the Department of Cultural Resources. She views the current agency's work in part as a way to assist local economies.
"I've learned a lot about how our state government works, and I am looking forward to a coordinated effort with our legislature to get project in all 100 counties," she said at an Executive Mansion news conference.
Her new job ultimately means New Hanover County Democrats will choose someone to fill out the rest of her two-year term.
Cooper also named the department's chief deputy as Reid Wilson, executive director of the Conservation Trust for North Carolina since 2003. The trust is involved in land preservation, particularly along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Wilson, who worked on Democratic campaigns in the 1980s, was previously chief of staff at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The Department of Cultural Resources was expanded in 2015 to include natural resources activities taken from the state's environment department.
"I think this team will work effectively together," Cooper said while citing the department's expanded responsibilities.
The North Carolina League of Conservation Voters also praised Cooper's choices for the department in a news release. The league has a jagged history with Hamilton, who voted with Republicans in 2012 to override then-Gov. Beverly Perdue veto of a bill that permitted a form of shale gas exploration known as fracking. Because of her vote, the league rescinded an award for Hamilton at the time for her pro-environmental record.
Hamilton said Thursday her vote was never for fracking but to effectively regulate it. No fracking permits have been issued in the state so far. The department she'll lead isn't involved in fracking decisions.

They search for evidence of fraudulent activity, analyse key data, gather evidence and ultimately present their findings in a simple, concise and digestible manner. Such is the importance of the forensic accountant's findings that the evidence they gather may be used in legal proceedings.

You may not be consciously aware of it, but chances are the idea of learning new things and broadening your horizons is one that really appeals to you. Nevertheless, with balancing an active modern life representing a serious challenge in its own right, the prospect of returning to any kind of meaningful education has long been lost on the average adult.

As relações entre Armênia e Azerbaijão são as relações diplomáticas estabelecidas entre a República da Armênia e a República do Azerbaijão. Ambos são vizinhos, com uma extensão de 787 km na fronteira entre os dois países. Tiveram relações governamentais formais entre 1918 a 1921, durante a breve independência desses países do Império Russo (que encontrava-se em colapso) como a República Democrática da Armênia e a República Democrática do Azerbaijão; essas relações existiram desde o período após a Revolução Russa de 1917 até que foram ocupadas e anexadas novamente pelo Estado sucessor, a União Soviética. Devido às duas guerras entre esses países no século passado - uma entre 1918 a 1921 (Guerra Armeno-Azeri) e outra de 1988 a 1994 (Guerra de Nagorno-Karabakh) - suas relações, ou a falta delas, tem sido moldadas devido ao conflito pela região de Nagorno-Karabakh.

História

As raízes do conflito entre a Armênia e o Azerbaijão sobre o território de Nagorno-Karabakh datam de 1920-21, quando surgiu a questão de delinear a fronteira entre as Repúblicas Socialistas Soviéticas Armênia e Azerbaijão no âmbito da União Soviética. Em 1921, Josef Stalin, então comissário soviético de nacionalidades, decidiu que Nagorno-Karabakh, onde a maioria dos moradores eram armênios, seria incluído como um Oblast autônomo no Azerbaijão, não na Armênia.

Em 1988, os armênios de Nagorno-Karabakh declararam que desejavam separar-se do Azerbaijão e unir-se à Armênia. Em 1991, os armênios realizaram um referendo em Nagorno-Karabakh, e declararam a independência da República de Nagorno-Karabakh. O conflito violento em Nagorno-Karabakh levou 200.000 armênios a fugir do Azerbaijão para Nagorno-Karabakh e Armênia, enquanto 185.000 azeris fugiram da Armênia e 45.000 de Nagorno-Karabakh para o Azerbaijão.

also not worked.

A: In the default maven lifecycle mvn deploy means to deploy one or more build artifacts to a maven repository. The reason is because the maven-deploy-plugin's deploy goal is bound to the deploy phase of the lifecycle. This configuration is automatically done when you use for example packaging  jar.
In maven

*

*a maven build lifecycle is made up of phases

*a phase is made up of plugin goals

*the packaging type (e.g. jar, ear, war) pre-configures plugins goals for execution in a lifecycle phase

In order to solve your problem I would first package the webapp and then invoke the deploy goal of the tomcat7-maven-plugin.
mvn package org.apache.tomcat.maven:tomcat7-maven-plugin:2.0:deploy

or simply
mvn package tomcat7:deploy

The mvn command above means:

*

*invoke the default build lifecycle until phase package

*then the goal deploy of the tomcat7 plugin.

If you want to know how maven resolves tomcat7:deploy to org.apache.tomcat.maven:tomcat7-maven-plugin:2.0:deploy you should read more about plugin groups and plugin naming conventions.

A: With maven deploy command, usually gets errors for various reasons.
if you work in Unix/Linux system, I recommend using "rsync" method on console. (You can write own shell script to manage easily). It helps not only deploying without a problem but also helps to get time while redeploying (only uploading changed / new files). Because maven deploy / redeploy uploads your project as a bundle in jar/war. However "rysnc" method uploads your project files one by one.
Before using it, you should sure that two conditions.
1- your project is built in target folder (Spring Tool Suite)
2- you have access to tomcat via ssh
example code : (v_ : prefix which is variable(customizable))
rsync -avz v_your_project_in_target root@v_ip:v_tomcat_name/webapps/v_project_name

Volume 53 No. 49
On 10 December 2019, Health Protection Scotland (HPS) updated their immunisation web pages to reflect the latest quarterly data on:
Norovirus is a common cause of infectious gastroenteritis that results in diarrhoea and vomiting. As it's most common during the winter months, norovirus is sometimes known as the winter vomiting bug, but infections can occur at any time of year.
Norovirus is very easily spread from one person to another. Outbreaks of norovirus where more than two people are infected can commonly occur in places where people are in close contact with one another for long periods of time, such as hospitals, care hones, schools and cruise ships.
The best way to stop norovirus spreading is to ensure people:
stay at home for at least 48 hours after symptoms have stopped to avoid further spread
use soap and water for hand-washing as alcohol based hand rub may be ineffective against norovirus
wash their hands, particularly after contact with someone who is ill, after using the toilet and before preparing food
To find out more about norovirus and how to stop it spreading, visit the NHS Inform website.
In addition, norovirus campaign materials are now available with posters and leaflets being issued to boards. These materials and social media messages can also be viewed on the NHS Inform website.
The World Health Organization's (WHO) World Malaria Report 2019 shows that in 2018, an estimated 11 million pregnant women were infected with malaria in areas of moderate and high disease transmission in sub-Saharan Africa. As a result, nearly 900,000 children were born with a low birthweight. However, an estimated 61% of pregnant women and children in sub-Saharan Africa were sleeping under insecticide-treated bed nets, compared with 216% in 2010, while access to preventive medicine for malaria has increased significantly in recent years.
Pregnancy reduces a woman's immunity to malaria, making her more susceptible to infection and at greater risk of illness, severe anaemia and death. Maternal malaria also interferes with the growth of the fetus, increasing the risk of premature delivery and low birth weight, which are leading causes of child mortality.
Despite the encouraging signs seen in the use of preventive tools in pregnant women and children, there was no improvement in the global rate of malaria infections in the period 2014 to 2018.
Further details and guidance can be found on the TRAVAX (for health professionals) and fitfortravel (for the general public) websites.

According to new estimates jointly published by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 140,000 people died from measles in 2018 worldwide. These deaths occurred as measles cases surged globally, amidst devastating outbreaks in all regions.
The report finds that the countries with the highest incidence rate of the disease were the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Liberia, Madagascar, Somalia and Ukraine, and these five countries accounted for almost half of all measles cases worldwide.
Most deaths were among children under five years of age. Babies and very young children are at greatest risk from measles infections, with potential complications including pneumonia and encephalitis (a swelling of the brain), as well as the risk of lifelong disabilities such as permanent brain damage, blindness or hearing loss.
This year, the US reported its highest number of cases in 25 years, while four countries in Europe, Albania, Czechia, Greece and the UK, lost their measles elimination status in 2018 following protracted outbreaks of the disease. This happens if measles re-enters a country after it has been declared eliminated, and if transmission is sustained continuously in the country for more than a year.
More information on measles is available on the HPS website.
Public Health England (PHE) has confirmed that an individual has been diagnosed with monkeypox in England. The patient is believed to have contracted the infection while visiting Nigeria and is receiving treatment in London.
Monkeypox is a rare viral infection and has been reported mainly in central and west African countries. It does not spread easily between people and the risk to the general public is considered very low. While usually a self-limiting illness with most people recovering within a few weeks, severe illness can occasionally occur in some individuals.
Further information on monkeypox and related guidance is available on the PHE website.

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has launched an open consultation on its scientific opinion regarding public health risks related to the presence of Ochratoxin A (OTA) in food. OTA is a mycotoxin naturally produced by fungi such as the Penicillium and Aspergillus species.
OTA is found in a variety of foods including grains and grain products, preserved meats, fresh and dried fruits. It is also found in breast milk.
EFSA previously assessed public health risks related to OTA in food in 2006. Experts concluded that OTA accumulates in the kidney and is particularly toxic to this organ. At high doses, OTA also causes kidney tumours in rats. EFSA set a tolerable weekly intake (TWI) of 120 nanograms per kilogram of body weight. More information has since become available suggesting that OTA may be genotoxic and carcinogenic. In such cases, EFSA experts calculate a margin of exposure (MOE) for consumers. In general, the higher the MOE, the lower the level of concern for consumers. The estimated MOE for OTA is below 10,000 across most consumer groups, suggesting a possible health concern.
Interested parties are invited to submit written comments to EFSA's Panel on Contaminants in the Food Chain (CONTAM) by 24 January 2020.

Residents in high-rise properties are being given leaflets outlining how to prevent fires in the home and what to do if one starts in their building.
The advice, which is produced by the Scottish Government and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) , is being delivered to high-rise homes from December and will also be available in libraries and community centres in all 15 local authorities with these property types.
Guidance has also been published for those responsible for fire safety in high-rise buildings, including councils, housing associations, owners and private landlords. Publishing such guidance was one of the recommendations of the Ministerial Working Group on Building and Fire Safety.

On 4 December 2019, the European Environment Agency (EEA) published its latest 'State of the Environment' (SOER 2020) report, which finds that Europe faces environmental challenges of unprecedented scale and urgency. SOER 2020 is the most comprehensive environmental assessment ever undertaken on Europe, providing a snapshot of where Europe stands in meeting 2020 and 2030 policy targets as well as longer term 2050 goals and ambitions to shift to a sustainable, low carbon future.
The report notes that Europe has already made significant progress over the past two decades in terms of climate change mitigation and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Signs of progress are also evident in other areas, such as tackling air and water pollution and the introduction of new policies to tackle plastic waste and bolster climate change adaptation and the circular and bio-economy.
However, the report further argues that a change of direction is urgently needed to face climate change challenges, reverse degradation and ensure future prosperity. Nonetheless, the report states that there is reason for hope, amid increased public awareness of the need to shift to a sustainable future, technological innovations, growing community initiatives and stepped up EU action like the European Green Deal.

Q: Net::SMTPAuthenticationError on Heroku with Google Apps and Rails 3 Inconstant Failure I have been attempting to set up my rails application on heroku with automated mailings using ActionMailer. My setup for the mail initialization is as follows: Note that the domain and usernames are dummies.

Any thoughts about why I would get this discrepancy? Thanks so much.

A: Apparently the issue was that the second email address wasn't a real address at all, but an alias, so I could never get to the real password. I contacted my administrator, and they are fixing the problem.

Review: The Long Reach (PS4)
Lucius P. Merriweather 26 March 2018 23 March 2018 Reviews
I grew up on Amiga point and click adventures like Curse of Enchantia and The Secret of Monkey Island, so I felt at home playing The Long Reach straight away. There's no pointing and clicking per se, but this is still very much in the same vein – scour the screen for objects, then work out where to use them to progress. It's an old trick, but it still works beautifully.
The game starts with a wonderful bait and switch that I'll try not to spoil, but it's a good indication of the quality of the story and writing throughout. In a nutshell, an experiment in a nefarious laboratory goes horrendously wrong, and the rest of the game is about the efforts to find out what happened and put it right. The dialogue is one of the game's highlights – its packed with natural sounding conversation and deliciously funny reply options, with my only complaint being that I wanted more of it. The game does a great job of fleshing out the personalities of each character with a minimum of exposition, and I found myself engrossed in their stories, willingly clicking onward to find out what happens to all of them. And it turns out a great deal happens, with some wonderful and unexpected twists and turns along the way.
You control your character directly, using the analogue stick to move them around the 2D corridors, and objects you can interact with are helpfully highlighted in yellow as you walk past them. This means it's very hard to miss something important, unlike in the point and clickers of old – I remember once missing an object in Monkey Island that was about a pixel wide somewhere in the forest, and spending unhappy hours backtracking in vain. Thankfully there's none of that here – and each area only encompasses a few screens, so if you do end up missing something, it's fairly simple to check all the rooms for anything you've missed.
Having said that, the game does fall afoul of the age-old point and click problem of the illogical puzzle. There were three points in the game where I had no clue about what to do next, and so resorted to consulting an online guide. Each time, rather than greet the solution with an "Aha, of course!", I found myself muttering "Really?" – generally the sign of an unsatisfying puzzle. Yet having said that, most of the puzzles in the game are fairly straightforward, following the pattern of "What on earth do I do with this?" followed by "Well perhaps if I try…" and ending on a triumphant "Yes, did it!" And to be honest, I still haven't played a point and clicker that doesn't have at least one illogical puzzle – it seems they're par for the course in this particular genre, unfortunately.
The pixel graphics deserve a special mention – they're brimming with character, and genuinely beautiful in some places – and downright unnerving in others. The music, too, although sparse, is well suited and even gives you a hint to a puzzle solution later on, a really nice touch that made me smile when I realised it. Overall, the game presentation is excellent, and despite getting stuck a few times, I thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing. In fact, I didn't want it to end. Indeed, the game is fairly short – I finished it in around four hours I think – but what's there is wonderful, and I'd happily play a sequel.
Point and click adventures are rare these days, and good ones are even rarer, so this is a welcome find indeed.

Choosing new furniture for your home is a process where some time spent at the start can avoid problems later.
When placed in the chosen room, your furniture, be it a sofa in the living room, a dining table in the dining room or a bed in the bedroom, should look in proportion with the dimensions of the room and comfortable to movement around.
It is always a good idea to start by considering the largest item. For example, it is not a good idea to choose a large sofa and then there be no space for anything else.
In the excitement of buying their new furniture, some of our customers forget to check that their carefully chosen purchase will actually fit into their home.
We will do everything possible to complete the delivery but can accept no responsibility for goods that are too large to get into the house. To avoid any embarrassment and potential cost of such problem, check the measurements below to ensure a successful delivery.
Measure the heights (A) and the widths (B) of any hallways and door accesses, as well as the entry clearance (C).
Either measure your chosen furniture yourself, or ask a member of our trained staff to do it for you. Items displayed on this website include basic dimensions, but you may need to visit your local store to obtain additional measurements.
For sofas, first measure the width (i), followed by the diagonal depth (ii). The diagonal depth may be determined by first placing a straight edge from the highest point of the back frame (excluding cushions) to the front of the arm.
Then measure from the bottom rear corner of the sofa up to the point that bisects the straight edge.
For cabinets, measure the diagonal height at the widest point (i) and depth (ii).
If you are at all uncertain about your measurements, our staff will be pleased to help.
For a nominal charge, we can sometimes make a special arrangement for a 'dry run' where our delivery crew will call round to your house and assess the access for you. Where possible, they may bring the showroom display item you want to buy with them to see if it will fit.
If access through a door is too tight, it may be possible to get the furniture in via another route. Customers sometimes have windows taken out or patio doors removed, although for complex deliveries there can be an additional charge – further details can be obtained from any Fairway Furniture branch.

To provide consumers with a reliable buying cue, three types of medals were awarded: Grand Gold, Gold and Silver.
Once again, the competition has revealed critical insight into the latest trends within the world of wine, providing a snapshot of the global industry that is updated annually.
For the first time this year the competition went beyond its European borders and travelled all the way to Beijing for the tasting from May 10-13. Over 9180 wines from almost 50 producing countries competed before a selection of the world's foremost tasters. In all, over 330 wine tasters representing 50 nationalities gathered for 3 days to judge entries.
The diverse range, both of entries and backgrounds of the tasters themselves, is one of the archetypal features of a competition that in just a few years has emerged as a world wine 'tasting championship'.

Stacking the deck? The ePDP on the Whois temp spec
Posted on July 3, 2018 July 6, 2018 by Farzaneh Badii and Milton MuellerIG Institutions, Privacy & Surveillance
ICANN* has a problem. One could even call it a disease – an organizational version of Sydenham's chorea. What are the symptoms? This: ICANN has in place elaborate, well-defined, and reasonably balanced representational mechanisms for making policies. But every time it has an important decision to make, ICANN tries to reinvent the whole process from scratch. This kicks off a vicious and chaotic political struggle in which various groups try to predetermine the outcome by enlarging their own representation and diminishing the representation of their enemies.
That is what is happening now, as ICANN attempts to revise its policies in the light of the need for compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Instead of using its Generic Names Supporting Organization, with its well-defined and well-balanced stakeholder groups and defined policy development processes (PDP), ICANN has created an "expedited PDP" (ePDP). The need for faster action than normal is clear in this case. But instead of simplifying the normal process, ICANN has complicated everything by throwing all kinds of additional groups into the mix, while trying to enlarge the representation of some groups at the expense of others. Is this just madness, or an attempt to stack the deck?
The stakes are high. The ePDP's decisions will develop a policy for compliance with the GDPR, and this will have an effect on the privacy of domain name registrants. We need help and support from others in monitoring this process.
The Generic Name Supporting Organization Council is currently discussing the membership structure of the ePDP. In the interest of quick action, it has been agreed that the ePDP will have a fixed number of members rather than the open membership of a normal bottom-up Policy Development Process. The obvious – and quickest – thing to do is to have the membership of the ePDP mirror the representational balance of the GNSO. It also makes sense to add participants from the Advisory Committees (At Large, Governments and Security and Stability) to get their input. But the Advisory Committees (ACs) are not mandated to make policy in ICANN – they are advisory in nature, and so their representatives should not vote or be part of determining consensus.
At first, discussions in the GNSO pragmatically supported a group that would have had an equal number of representatives from each Stakeholder Group: 3 from the Noncommercial Stakeholder Group, 3 from the Commercial Stakeholder Group, 3 from the Registries Stakeholder Group, and 3 from the Registrars Stakeholder Group. Each stakeholder group could internally determine how its constituencies appoint members.
This was the Council's train of thought for six weeks, both before and after the ICANN Board adopted the Temporary Specification. But then ICANN's disease flared up. At ICANN 62 in Panama City, they added GAC, ALAC and SSAC and considered them full members of the ePDP. On the morning of 27 June, the lead of the drafting team on ePDP composition, Keith Drazek of Verisign, introduced text that would ensure each constituency within the Commercial Stakeholder Group (CSG) would receive more members on this team than anyone else. His proposal was for each commercial constituency to receive 3 members, which would give the CSG a total of 9 members on the ePDP, while all other stakeholder groups would have 3 members in total. He explained the rationale:
Keith Drazek (27 June): "Essentially, what we've done is we've provided more participation per stakeholder group and constituency in a couple of cases, right, specifically BC, IPC, and ISPCP. More participation. You're getting more people on this group to actually provide input, engage in all of that, than, for example, registries and the registrars."
What Drazek didn't say openly was that the participation given to the Commercial SG was triple that given the Noncommercial Stakeholder Group, and that the NCSG and CSG positions on Whois/privacy issues are diametrically opposed. So in effect, Drazek said they've tilted the scales.
When NCSG demands parity in the number of members for each stakeholder group, Drazek and his commercial counterparts argue that numbers do not matter. There is no voting procedure, they say, it's all based on consensus and the additional members just allow for additional viewpoints. But the contradiction in this argument is blatantly obvious. If numbers don't matter, why does the CSG need to have 9 members instead of 3 to express those views? It is obvious that the IPC or BC do not bring "different" viewpoints to the table. They agree 100% on all Whois issues. Why can't 1 member of each CSG constituency bring that view forward? If more viewpoints are better, why can't NCSG have 9 members, too? Either the number of members doesn't matter, so we can return to the balanced 3 members per stakeholder groups threshold – or they do matter, which means that the NCSG will need as many members as the CSG.
Numbers do matter, both in terms of the level of participation and the "consensus determination." More active participants from one point of view means more people expressing the same position, which makes it seem like there is more of a consensus. With CSG representation tripled, it will be easier for them to relegate NCSG privacy advocates to a minority "in the rough" part of "rough consensus."
In addition to being unfair, the addition of 6 more IPR advocates onto the ePDP has dire budgetary consequences. ICANN has to pay to fly these people around to meetings. It was originally agreed that the size of the group would be small to keep costs contained. Adding these additional members busts the budget. During the meeting, NCSG Council member Ayden Férdeline asked Drazek why he was proposing to give the CSG more seats than the NCSG, Drazek said:
"But because we're trying to limit the number [of ePDP members] to keep it small, efficient, effective, and economical, it's caused this requirement to sort of try to structure this in way that we're having good meaningful equal representation but try to maintain some respect for the structure that we have in the Council. That's what I've tried to accomplish here."
How does one keep the group small, efficient and economical by adding 6 members? Give each SG 3 members, as originally proposed, and the group is smaller. A recent offer for compromise would give each constituency of the CSG 2 members instead of 3. But that still gives the IPC and BC 4 in total, which is one member more than NCSG. That is still not fair and balanced, and it still expands the number of members. Bear in mind that the GAC, ALAC, and SSAC members all hold positions on Whois similar to the CSG. So they are really stacking the deck. The IPC and BC don't need additional members to stack it further.
By playing this political game, the CSG have already undermined the "expedited" nature of the PDP. We are wasting time fighting about process and representation rather than reviewing and ratifying the temporary specification. It's unlikely that the ePDP will be chartered this month. We invite everyone to pay attention to that and come to a compromise since as Mr. Neylon , a member of the Council from the Registrar Stakeholder Group, said:
"In the absence of clear decisive action on the part of the GNSO Council, the ICANN Org could potentially try to progress things or take some kind of action that they would deem to be helpful and constructive, but based on past experience with their concept of helpful and constructive, it would probably be the exact opposite."
There is another odd thing about the proposed composition of the ePDP. All of the Advisory Committee representatives are considered full, voting participants, which is inappropriate given their role in the ICANN structure. The Whois temp spec is a domain name policy matter, so GNSO members should be making policy. Even more bizarre, the country code top level domains supporting organization (ccNSO) is given as much representation as most of the GNSO stakeholder groups. But ccNSO members are not subject to ICANN contracts. They are not bound by the temporary specification at all! Why should they be involved in formulating the policy for it?
On a final note, I could not have written this blog had it not been for the access I had to transcripts of the 27 June meeting. We need transcription for all the ePDP meetings, for very good reasons! Yet the same people who are proposing to balloon the size of the ePDP by 6 additional people (adding tens of thousands of dollars per meeting) are saying we cannot afford to spend $500 for transcripts of the meetings! Transcripts are an essential part of transparency and accountability at ICANN. It seems their priorities are out of place.
* In this blog, by ICANN we mean ICANN community and not ICANN org.

John Poole says:
Good post. The ePDP process is obviously being "rigged" for a pre-determined outcome–"stacking the deck"–typical dishonest and dysfunctional ICANN behavior. Unless stopped now, I think you know where this will all end.

Cape Girardeau History and Photos
News photos that have grown whiskers and have become history
Cape Girardeau Parks Are Well-Trained
I found a strip of negatives that had kids playing in the Capaha Park Pool, followed by four pictures of kids climbing all over a train locomotive.
I'm Cool
To my surprise, the kid on the left in the white shirt doing an "I'm Cool" pose was my brother, Mark Steinhoff.
That brought to mind this picture I took of him in October 2007 lifting his bike above his head during one of our rides. (Don't ask. He has this thing about holding his bike in the air. We try not to notice.)
Is it the same locomotive?
I was all set to proclaim it the same engine, except that it was facing in the opposite direction.
I knew that it had been worked over to make it safer and to take out asbestos several years ago, so I thought maybe it had been set up differently after it was fixed.
Then I looked more closely at the locomotive and determined that it didn't look like the same one.
The boiler is skinnier, the older train didn't have a skinny smokestack and the round objects on the top of the boiler are missing.
Is it the Arena Park Train?
Here's a picture I shot of "Hoppy," the train at Arena Park, in October 2008.
There are several similar features, but I don't think it's the train in the picture from the 1960s. If nothing else, look at the placement of the bell. It's in the middle of the boiler, not the front like in the other two pictures.
If I had to guess, parts were changed on both trains when the engines were taken apart for modification and asbestos removal. I'm going back to my original opinion that the old photos were taken on the train in Capaha Park and that cosmetic changes were made sometime later.
Feel free to chime in if you know the real story.
I'd like to know more about what was done to the trains between the mid-1960s when I shot these pictures and the late 2000s when I revisited them. Train buffs are welcome to correct any errors in how I described the locomotives and their parts.
More park train pictures from the 1960s
I must have been kid-sitting that day. My brother, David Steinhoff is at the top left in the picture above
I loved those trains
I loved climbing on those trains when I was a kid. Things that used to open and move have all been removed or welded to make them safer, but I don't think it matters much to kids.
When I got too old to play on them, I'd come back on slow news days to bag some wild art. You could always count on finding someone playing engineer after school or on weekends.
I wonder if cities would even consider putting something like this on playgrounds these days. I never heard of a kid getting hurt, but there were plenty of sharp edges and levers that could potentially cut off a finger and the fire grate that could crush one.
It's a wonder any of us survived those days.
I remember using the Arena Park train in a Back-to-School photo shoot for The Missourian's Youth Page. I'm sure it'll show up in my digging and I'll have one more excuse to run some train pictures.

Dribbling from Cape to Jackson
Who are these guys? What are they doing?
A group shot of a bunch of guys in front of Central High School holding basketballs. Big deal, I thought. I've shot a zillion group shots in my day. [As always, click on the image to make it larger. After that, you may click on the left or right side of the picture to move through the gallery.]
Where did the picture come from?
I had a darkroom at home where I did most of my work. Under the table was a plastic garbage can. When I was finished making whatever print I needed, I'd pitch the film into that garbage can. Everyone knew not to empty it and nothing but film was ever thrown into it.
About 10 or 15 years after I left Cape, I came home for a visit, rolled up all the film and stuffed it into two coffee cans without looking at any of it. It hasn't been touched in 25 or 30 years.
I finally dug out the cans for this project and started unrolling film. Talk about unearthing a time capsule.
Now they're standing in the street
I looked at the next frame. They're standing in the street in front of the school. Still, that's not super unusual. Maybe I wanted to try a different angle.
Hey! What are they doing dribbling down Kingshighway?
I activated my bellowphone and hollered to Wife Lila in the next room, "Do YOU recognize any of these folks?"
She was a librarian, so she knows how to do research. She pulled out our old Girardots and started thumbing until she found Terry Hopkins, who was in the picture. She reminded me that we're all Facebook friends, so I fired off a message to Terry asking if he could help.
Terry Hopkins came up with an explanation
That is easy…we were dribbling the balls to Houck Field House for spirit raiser…now the guys in the pictures….Danny Birk palming the ball on the far left…Keith Kelly number 11 for you…Terry Hopkins front and center( god knows why) Bill Bishop…Nice hat dude!
The second row…Mike Young, Student body president…Mike Stuart (brother of Mark Stuart), Rick Beck 53#… and Michael Melvin Friese…what a group… we were all good friends and all of us hung around together all thru high school.
Thanks for sharing this with all of us.
I think we did this because the year before the "guys" in the class before us dribbled all the way to Dexter for the regional B'ball tourney…
Did you guys get lost on the way to Jackson?
"Are you SURE you were going to Houck Field House?" I asked. "I have pix of you guys heading down Hwy 61 near past Wimpy's. That's Arena Park on the right. Houck Field House is up Broadway.
"And, you guys COULDN'T have been the basketball team. You might have attitude, but you're seriously lacking altitude."
Terry admits to being fuzzy
We were not the basketball team……
The game was at Jackson……I do remember going down Kingshighway…the rest is a little fuzzier… I do remember going down big hill on the way to Jackson….we ran a relay in cars with one of us dribbling the ball…other in the cars and I think we ended up at the Old Gym in Jackson.
"If you can remember ALL of the sixties…you were not there."
Send some more of the pictures. maybe that will jog the memory…
I was happy to just remember all the guys…
Mike Friese's 56 Ford with Bill Bishop hanging out
That is Mike Friese's old 56 Ford…and Bishop is in the car…the second darker car looks like Mike Young's 64 Chevy that was used to help keep people from hitting us!
If anyone else remembers this, leave a comment. I'm sure there's someone out there who can fill in some of Terry's gaps.
Civil War Soldier Still Guards Courthouse
The glassine negative sleeve that held this picture was slugged "Cook kids & Courthouse Statue 6/29/67."
It was a fairly popular picture – in fact it won something in at least one contest – but I don't remember anything else about it. If anybody knows who the "Cook kids" are, let me know and I'll add it to the page.
I'm sure I'll find the newspaper clipping at some point that will let me fill in more detail. It's hard to imagine that those kids probably have grandkids that age today.
Wild art
Pictures like this are called "wild art" in the business. They are pictures that have no particular news value that can run with cutlines only and can be held for a few days. (You had to be careful that your subject didn't die and that you didn't run a sunny-day picture on a rainy day, but other than that they could go as needed.)
Some shooters were masters at feature and wild art photography. I was more into news and story-telling pictures, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Since I got paid $5 for every picture The Missourian ran, I had a financial interest in keeping my eyes open for wild art. (Actually, I was so prolific that the paper eventually changed the deal. I got paid $5 for every shot I was ASSIGNED and only $3 for every self-generated photo except spot news.)
The Civil War Soldier is still on duty
I was a little early for my appointment with Fred Lynch at The Missourian, so I wandered over to see how the Civil War soldier was doing. It made me feel good to see that he was still standing watch.
Mainstreet Midnight Madness Sale 1964
While I was walking around down on Main Street last month, I vaguely remembered covering some kind of late night sale on Main Street on June 6, 1966. (The 6/6/66 Sale is was billed, I think.)
While looking for something else, as usually the case, I found one sleeve of negatives marked Midnight Madness 1964. I don't know if it was the same sale or not. I think there are more pictures, but these were the ones that bubbled to the top.
I recognize some of the stores and maybe even some of the people, but I'd rather have you leave comments identifying the places or people and any memories you have of either. That'll mean a lot fewer corrections for me to make. I was always lousy with matching names and faces.
You get to see the good, the bad and the ugly
I got a great piece of advice in early in my career: "The difference between a good photographer and a bad photographer is that a good photographer never shows his bad pictures." I'm going to break that rule on CapeCentralHigh from time to time. I figure folks might like to see a picture of themselves, even if it isn't technically or artistically top-rate.
I'll put these up as a gallery. Click on any image to make it larger, then you can step through the pictures by clicking on the left or right side of the picture.
Midnight Madness, Main Street, Cape Girardeau, MO, 1964
Staying open late was a big deal in 1964
Stores didn't stay open past 5 or 6 P.M. on weeknights and Blue Laws kept most of them shut on Sunday. In the days before 24-hour Walmarts, getting to shop late at night was a big deal.
I guess Midnight Madness was as close as Cape ever got to a Black Friday, with customers lined up in front of stores waiting for them to open.
The sad thing is that I think only two of the stores on Main Street from our era are still in operation. Everything else has turned into a bar, an antique store or an empty storefront.
[Editor's note: I just stumbled onto a story in the Southeast Weekly Bulletin from June 13, 1963. Sounds like it might have been the same event or one from a year earlier.]

Hi everyone! I'm back again, I know I keep disappearing but up until now I had nothing major to tell you. First things first, I got a new dog! It was my childhood dream to become an owner of a dog some day and approximately 3 weeks ago I finally got one. She was already named and now thinking about it, Bella suits her so much! She is 1,5 years old and is an Australian Terrier. She is absolutely adorable, so playful!
And here is another surprise, you finally get to see me!
We were at the park few weeks ago, so I had to keep her beside me all the time as I already knew that she would jump absolutely on anyone passing by and would bark at every dog that is bigger than herself! So, that is my small change:) Hope you have a good night and stay tuned for more posts.
I'm that person who likes to constantly change everything around. Follow me on my journey of felt crafting which I had recently started! Also, from time to time personal blog posts will appear.
