Q: C++ Declspec align Hi am new to Visual C++, Could Someone please explain what ConfParams() declared in a structure does
__declspec(align(BYTE)) struct ConfParams
{
    BOOL m_timeout;
    DOUBLE m_caution;
    ConfParams();
}

A:
Could Someone please explain what ConfParams() declared in a structure does

It's a constructor declaration.
In C++ other than default accessibility level struct and class are equivalent.   struct by default has public members, class by default has private members.

I'm not clear why your subject references __declspec but if that's what you want to know about see here.
Member functions have no alignment only the data is affected.

A: google says
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/83ythb65%28v=VS.80%29.aspx
"Use __declspec(align(#)) to precisely control the alignment of user-defined data (for example, static allocations or automatic data in a function)"
It will make the compiler start every instance on a byte boundary. Without it instances would have been aligned on the machines natural boundary - which would probably be 4 bytes.

Tecuci è un municipio della Romania di 42.706 abitanti ubicato nel distretto di Galați, nella regione storica della Moldavia.

Nel 1476 nei dintorni di Tecuci ebbe luogo una grande battaglia tra le truppe Ottomane e quelle del Principe di Moldavia Ștefan cel Mare.

Fino al 1938 la città era il capoluogo del distretto di Tecuci, successivamente suddiviso tra il distretto di Galaţi e quello di Bacău.

L'economia di Tecuci è oggi essenzialmente basata dell'industria alimentare, in particolare nel settore dell'inscatolamento di carne, frutta e verdura. È inoltre un importante nodo ferroviario, collegato con Bacău, Galați e Bârlad.

Vi è nata, nel 1887, Elena Caragiani-Stoienescu la prima donna rumena ad ottenere un brevetto di volo nel 1914.

Dell Services on Tuesday unveiled its new innovation lab for SAP HANA, intended to help its customers evaluate the SAP HANA in-memory relational database management system (RDBMS) and SAP S/4HANA business suite.
The lab will also include a co-innovation lab to help customers develop and test solutions, and temporarily use the environment for upgrades and rollout projects. Dell Services is also offering a set of consulting services around the innovation lab to help customers identify potential value, create a business use case and develop zero-impact migration plans.
"A lot of our existing SAP customers we service have questions," says Simon Spence, global director of the Dell SAP practice, Dell Services. "They need to identify what their roadmap needs to be making of this transformation: why they would do it, when they would do it, how would they do it."
The innovation lab consists of a virtual environment that will help customers answer those questions, allowing them to evaluate the environment before making an acquisition decision, and then jumpstart development after the acquisition of licenses. Spence explains the lab is built on the latest and greatest Dell hardware running HANA, placed in the Dell cloud environment, with 30 TB of capacity that can support 20 to 25 customers at any one time.
The lab can do demonstrations with a preconfigured S/4 environment that allows customers to understand the environment's capabilities.
"We can do that for any product that runs on HANA," Spence says.
Dell Services can also use the lab to perform an end-to-end Fit/Gap Analysis on an organization's business process to help it understand where potential gaps are and what the process improvement possibilities are. Or it can go more in-depth and create a proof of concept, especially if a customer has a unique business case.
"We have the capability if a customer wants to see a proof of concept of migrating one of their existing SAP applications into the environment," Spence says. "We can then open it up to customers to let them do analysis on the performance improvements."
For customers who have made the leap to HANA but need help getting applications up and running, the lab can help organizations develop and test solutions in the Dell Services environment and then do the heavy lifting of moving it to the Dell cloud or an on-premise environment.
"The benefit we see is helping our customers reduce risk," Spence says. "They can evaluate and have a better idea of what they're getting before they commit. Really, there's a lot of risk reduction. It's the ability to reduce the cost of implementation and the deployment timeline."
Infrastructure provisioning. Dell Services has invested in the SAP HANA licenses and hardware, allowing customers to access and evaluate the solution prior to purchasing.
Co-Innovation lab. Customers can develop and test solutions in the Dell Services environment for short periods of time, or temporarily use the environment for upgrades and rollout projects.
Consulting services. Dell Services runs workshops to help customers identify potential value, create a business use case, provide specific industry solutions with smart factory and IoT and develop zero-impact migration plans.

So this post is exactly one month late. The post for my exciting meal for August's Food and Wine Cover Recipe Challenge is late simply because it was summer and I was off galavanting, sorry folks, I have no excuses. But here it is at long last (September's is coming too, I promise).
When I realized the August issue of F&W was focused on vegetables a sense of dread washed over me. Really? No meat? Well there is some meat in the issue, but the emphasis on the awesome variety of creative dishes and flavours one can cook from 'just' vegetables really enchanted me. Despite my carnivorous instincts, I decided that this was a good opportunity to challenge myself and make a meal that consisted solely of vegetables.
To start off the evening, Adam decided to put his newly acquired Aperol knowledge to good use and made Rosemary Aperol Spritz. I have had cocktails with Aperol before, but it is only recently while Adam and I have been experimenting with cocktails that we discovered how versatile and delicious this libation can be. The bitter orange liqueur hails from Italy and is a classic ingredient in many cocktails.
The drink consists of Prosecco, soda water, Aperol, and is garnished with rosemary and an orange slice. It was super delicious and the bitterness of the Aperol is crazy good with the rosemary.
For this challenge, I decided that the cover recipe was best suited as the appetizer for the evening. The Summer Vegetable Ceviche was very easy to make despite its total prep time (2.5 hours), and it was delicious. The recipe was simple: chuck a bunch of fresh veggies into a bowl with lime juice, oil, and sea salt, wait two hours, and voila, you have vegetable ceviche.
The flavours of this pseudo salad were fresh and summery. I loved the creativeness of the dish and the use of a technique that is usually reserved for meat or fish preparation. The combination of nectarines, avocados, corn, and cilantro is not something that I would have considered, but man, did we make quick work of that ceviche.
And now on to the main course. Despite the presence of some meat recipes in the August issue, I chose to bite the bullet and go veggie. I made Eggplant and Porcini 'Meatballs' in Tomato Sauce; we affectionately called them plantballs throughout the evening.
After last month's issues with the pork burgers, confidence in my ability to create a spherical plant ball that stayed intact was a little low, but they turned out amazing! The recipe was surprisingly easy to follow despite the complicated sounding title, and I found it actually took less time to make than the allotted two hours.
This dish was another interesting twist on a meaty classic. Normally, I am one who tends to criticize cooks who try and turn one food into another (i.e. using that weird vegan 'cheese': it's not cheese) but this recipe was solid. The combination of porcini mushrooms, eggplant, and breadcrumbs created a great plantball, they were so savoury, and stayed together just as well as any meatball could. The fresh tomato sauce was the perfect vessel for the plantballs and everyone at the table loved the innovation of a classic comfort food.
It turned out great! The tricky part was actually rolling the meringue with the Kirsch flavoured cream and berries inside, but the finished product was unbelievable!
After freezing the roulade for a couple of hours, it was a matter of slicing and smothering it in the delicious raspberry sauce. I don't normally prepare desserts for the recipe challenge, they aren't my forte, but everyone was so glad that I did. YUM!
For the wine, I asked Erin and Matt to select a fruity Sauvignon Blanc to pair with the Ceviche and a bold red to go with the Spaghetti and Plantballs.
The sauvignon blanc was a Nederburg from South Africa and its fresh fruitiness was the perfect compliment to the summery veggies in the ceviche. The red was a medium bodied wine from Italy. The Ricossa Barbera d'Asti is an amazing wine for a great value. It was the house wine red at Get Stuffed when I worked there, and has been for ages. It went perfectly with the Eggplant and Porcini Meatballs.
Overall the meal was a complete success. Compared to last month's frustrations, August's F&W Cover Recipe Challenge was a pleasure to make and even more of a pleasure to eat. I was surprised at the versatilely of vegetables in the dishes that I prepared, and I will definitely be working on more meals that have veggies as the star. I encourage everyone to Eat. Explore. Repeat. your local farmer's market and try some new veg recipes asap! Enjoy!


Caribbean Food Week is still going strong and whilst the weather outside may be far from Caribbean don't let that stop you from cooking up some of my tasty Caribbean inspired dishes! Put your sunglasses on and just pretend it's not raining outside….
For my second dish this week I used the Dunn's River Jerk Seasoning and tin of callaloo from the hamper sent to me by the lovely people at Grace Foods. For those of you that have never heard of callaloo before (I hadn't before my hamper arrived) it's a kind of green vegetable common in the Carribean, it's pretty similar to spinach. Callaloo is pretty easy to find in the world foods aisle of most supermarkets but if you're struggling use spinach instead. I do find the tinned callaloo a little over salty so I'd suggest you give it a rinse before using.
I've chosen lamb for these kebabs as I think it goes really nicely with the jerk seasoning but there's absolutely no reason why you couldn't swap this for any other meat if you prefer. Pork pairs quite well with it too. Unless you're a glutton for punishment, I'll warn you now, be sparing with this jerk seasoning! It's HOT! I initially used it on its own, but the meal ended up being a bit disastrous as it was so hot I struggled to eat it. I had a little rethink and re-did this dish mixing the seasoning with yoghurt to cool it down. If you like things spicy though, by all means use less yoghurt.
1. In a bowl mix together the yoghurt and jerk seasoning.
2. Add your lamb to the bowl and mix thoroughly ensuring all pieces are coated. If you wish you can leave this to marinate for a few hours but its just as good cooked straight away.
3. Push your chunks of lamb onto two skewers.
4. Cook on a hot grill or griddle pan, or under the grill in the oven. Turning regularly for about 20 minutes or until cooked through.
5. Meanwhile sauté the courgette, chilli and garlic in a pan on a medium heat.
6. When the courgettes are softened add the callaloo and mix through. Keep on a low-medium heat, stirring occasionally to heat the greens through.
7. In a bowl mix together all the ingredients for the sweet potato hash. Split the mixture evenly into two.
8. Heat 1-2 tbsps oil in a pan.
9. Take half of the potato mixture, squeeze it into a ball (try to squeeze out some of the excess liquid). Place it into the hot pan and flatten down with a spatular until it's about 1.5cm thick. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden.
10. When the kebabs are cooked, remove from the skewers and serve alongside the chilli greens and sweet potato hash.


This appears to be the new 2012 Toyota Camry, which according to the latest report, it will be launched in October.
Not to sound like a jerk, but Toyota-Albama got that pic from my site.
Hmm, that's not nice. Thanks for letting me know, I have changed the source. Keep up the good work mate!
Is this the new Toyota Camry?

Forced-sterilization accusation are being taken very seriously according to Saskatchewan's Premier
Premier Brad Wall says the issue of Aboriginal women being sterilized against their will after having a baby, is something that won't be taken lightly.
The story first emerged after a woman in Saskatoon came forward about her experience in 2010.
She says she was held in hospital, after having her 7th baby, until she would agree to be sterilized.
The province's Sexual Sterilization Act was instated in 1929, and was "intended to stop 'mental defectives' from having children."

So Roy Fielding posted to the httpd mailing list today to let people know that 10 years ago today the Apache project really got off the ground with the initial creation of its first source repository and user accounts for developers.
There was no CVS back then, they were using RCS, with local user accounts and manual merging of patches.
There was a lot of discussion of incompatibilities between various clients, the same as today, but at far lower levels than I'd expected. It's easy to forget that at one point basic things like forms and CGI didn't always work the way you'd expect.
Apache was a purely forking server at that point, and that fact went far enough that the code in the child process didn't even bother to free memory, although you can see the discussions of what would eventually become the memory pools used to day in APR.
There was no autoconf, just manual ifdefs for each platform.
Perhaps most interesting are the people involved, some of whom are still active in the ASF, some of whom are not, but regardless we all owe them a great deal, and it's nice to be reminded of that every now and then.


The Alaska Native village of Noorvik has lifted a longtime ban on ceremonial dancing.
The ban was put in place when the Inupiat village was established in 1914. Quaker missionaries viewed dancing as evil.
But residents revived the tradition after reaching out to sister villages. The ban was lifted last fall with the support of the Noorvik Friends Church.
"I don't speak for the church, but in my own view we're going to come to a place in the afterlife where we sing and dance to the Lord," pastor Aurora Sampson told the Associated Press. "While we are on this earth we might as well practice."


Anna Walinska's life and art spans the century of American modernism, paralleling the history of the New York school and the American Jewish experience. Known for her exhilarating joie de vivre, the irrepressible adventuress was born in London in 1906, moved to New York with her family in 1914, and by 1918 at the young age of 12 had begun her education at the Art Students League.
Walinska studied in Paris in the twenties with André L'Hote and at Grande Chaumiere, sponsored Arshile Gorky's first one-man exhibit in New York in the thirties, and lived in Burma in the fifties. She was a painter, illustrator and teacher at the Master Institute of Arts in New York City, and taught painting at the Riverside Museum. Walinska served as assistant creative director of the Contemporary Art Pavilion at the 1939 World's Fair, and painted several portraits of artists including Gorky, Mark Rothko, and Louise Nevelson. She was a member of the National Association of Women Artists, the Federation of Modern Painters and Sculptors, and Artist's Equity.


There are signs that Google may finally be recognizing the importance of a well-run app store, after launching two substantial updates to the Android Market in the past two weeks alone.
Late yesterday, the company said its app store was now going to support carrier billing on AT&T, its second such deal in the U.S. outside of T-Mobile USA. Earlier this month, it rolled out a series of updates to its user interface that not only make it easier for users to navigate, but also for developers to monetize their applications.
Hopefully, the moves are only the beginning.
Despite Android's meteoric rise to activating 300,000 handsets a day, the application market is far from matching the capabilities of Apple's App Store. The biggest difference is that Apple's iPhone has a built-in monetization platform via iTunes, whereas Android has been mostly limited to its own checkout payment platform and credit cards.
The downside to this is that paid applications are only available in a fraction of the countries where Android is sold. And there's no official way to make in-app payments, so developers who want to give their apps away for free and then charge for items within, for instance, a game are out of luck. The lack of payment options have resulted in fewer high-quality apps, and fewer high-quality games.
If Google wants to be a worthy competitor to Apple, now is the time for the company to create a healthy and active ecosystem for Android applications.
We've heard it's simply a matter of resources and priorities, but how much longer can this wait?
On monetization: There's no excuse for Google to support only its own checkout platform and two U.S. carriers. Not long ago, there were rumors brewing of a partnership with PayPal, but now that seems to have stalled. Making payments as seamless as possible is a no-brainer.
In the meantime, there are plenty of options it could investigate, such as Amazon Payments, or Zong or Boku, which could integrate carrier billing on behalf of Google.
A number of the third-party players have already worked around Google to create in-app purchasing platforms. In yesterday's announcement, Google promised to continue to partner with more carriers in the future, but with only two such partnerships after more than a year, the pace is not optimistic.
On organization: A number of new features announced on Dec. 10 will also help developers monetize, by simply making a better organized app store.
It's added new categories for widgets and live wallpapers. It has also created a "related content" section on each app page that details applications of similar interest to help with promotion.
However, one of the biggest updates is a change in policy from a 24-hour refund window to only 15 minutes. Previously, consumers would buy a game, play it for a few hours hours and then return it. The 15-minute window gives users enough time to decide whether an app is worth it, but not enough time to get sick of it.
In addition, the Market just looks nicer. Better graphics and a more logical layout.
Perhaps, Google's New Year's resolution will include more Android Market updates.

CSOs plans EndSARS protests continuation after Govs. ease curfew
Buhari promises to end insecurity, stabilise Nigeria
FG earmarks $2.3trn for infrastructure projects
33 Cross Rivers enterprenuers under EFCC detention over scam
MetroNews
By The Guild	 On Oct 30, 2020
A coalition of Civil Society Organisations has disclosed that plans are being concluded to resume protest against police brutality and bad governance in the country after the 24-hour curfew introduced to curb violence that marred the earlier demonstration across the nation was eased.
It explained that the planned resumption of protest was borne out of realization that power belongs to the people and that for a truly working democracy, it was pertinent the people begin to ask questions and actively participate in sustaining democracy and task of nation-building.
The Executive Director, Heroine Women Foundation, Onyinye Mamah, hinted that plans are being concluded to hit the streets across the country and demand visible action, stressing that the era of occupying public offices without tangible results from politicians would begin to phase out from Nigeria with constant civic engagement.
Addressing journalists yesterday in Enugu on behalf of 14 Civil Society Organisations at a press briefing, Mamah said that though the arsons and wanton destructions that marred the first outing was regrettable, such would not be a basis for governments to restrict citizens from peaceful protests aimed at demanding better governance and accountability.
She said that though a date was yet to be chosen for commencement of new rounds of protests, the organizations were working out modalities and talking to relevant bodies for necessary steps and course of actions to be taken before commencement.
According to her, the protests this time around will be very peaceful as the previous ones before they were rudely infiltrated and interrupted by sponsored thugs.
She also said as soon as the curfew declared by governments and upon completion of tasks of panels of inquiries set up over allegations of police brutality, the protests would erupt again.
"If the government meets the demands of the protest, there will be no need for more protests. We want peace. Violence cannot achieve anything. The government should be open to us," she added.
While calling for peace, she said, "we would have achieved a lot if violence had not crept into the protest. We'll not destroy a society we are trying to build. I implore us to ensure peace.
"I appeal to us to be calm over what we are clamouring for. This is a call for a peaceful protest because we are going to continue but we are not going to do it like hoodlums. It is a call for a peaceful protest.
"We wanted to achieve reform. If we lose one person, we lost. We must die well, old, and in peace not in violence, social disruption, anarchy, and failed government.
"Violence has never given any good result. If we had continued just the way we started, we would have achieved a lot. Now, we have socially disrupted the same nation we have been struggling to build."

This is one of the best recipes that I got from my mother-in-law. She was a chocoholic, as I am, so we got along great!
Melt butter in small saucepan. Add sugar, cocoa and milk. Mix together and bring to a rolling boil for 1 minute. Take off heat and add vanilla. Beat by hand until cool or until you get the consistency you want for your cake. The longer you beat it, the harder it gets. I don't like it hard so I spread it on my cake when it is just barely spreadable. Once you get it on the cake it starts to cool and you can spread it around more.

Snap acquired Placed, a company that measures the effectiveness of ad campaigns, according to TechCrunch. Different sources place the cost of Snap's acquisition near the range of $125 million and $200 million.
Placed tracks how effective ad campaigns are in driving consumers to store locations and in making purchases. The acquisition could help Snap bolster its Snap to Store tool, which allows marketers to measure whether ad campaigns run on Snapchat drove users to specific locations being advertised.
The acquisition is important for Snap for several reasons:
It could help prove the effectiveness of ads run on Snapchat. Placed referred to itself as the leader in location based-attribution in a blog post. This could bode well for Snap, assuming Snap and Placed technologies mesh well, and potentially lead to more precise analytics, such as visitation lift. More precise ad analytics could attract more advertisers to Snap's platform. Attracting more advertisers is important for Snap, as it still needs to prove itself to as a platform that can compete with incumbents Google and Facebook.
Increase its ad effectiveness would help Snap earn revenue. This is important after the company missed estimates last quarter in Q1. Snap reported $150 million in revenue for the quarter, compared to analyst expectations of approximately $159 million. Snap needs to increase ARPU, which is dwarfed in comparison to competitors such as Facebook, in order to grow into a big business. For example, Snap's ARPU for North America was nearly $2, while Facebook's US and Canada ARPU was nearly $17 in Q1 2017.
There's no question that consumers are increasing the amount of time they spend consuming digital media, while advertisers are increasing their ad budgets into digital channels. What may come as a surprise, however, is the complexity of the interconnected web of companies involved in the process of delivering digital advertisements to end users. Collectively, these companies are known as "advertising technology," or "ad tech" for short.
Ad tech companies are intermediaries between advertisers and publishers, and add value to the ad delivery process by consolidating inventory, automating workflows, and offering precise targeting capabilities at scale. The automation of ad buying is also known as "programmatic advertising" — that is, using technology and software to buy digital ads. Programmatic ad spend in the US is quickly ramping up: It will top $20 billion this year and reach $38.5 billion by year-end 2020.
But ad tech's ascendancy isn't without its drawbacks. The advertising industry in the US is dominated by two main players: Facebook and Google. As a result, ad tech players are fighting for a pretty small piece of revenue pie, one of the many drivers of increased consolidation in the space.
Kevin Gallagher, research analyst for BI Intelligence, Business Insider's premium research service, has compiled a detailed report on ad tech that examines the different players involved in the process of delivering ads, the formats that are driving growth (notably mobile and video), and the factors that are driving increased consolidation over the coming years.
Here are some key points from the report:
By 2020, mobile will be the biggest online advertising market, and video the fastest growing.
So-called "walled gardens" Google and Facebook lead a relatively small group of players that attract the vast majority of digital-ad spending in the US today.
Growth can be challenging for players outside the walled-garden duopoly, and many companies are reaching a level of maturity that may prompt investors to push for an exit.
Ad tech is poised for consolidation, and the number of companies in the industry will decline significantly over the next few years.
Companies specializing in certain ad formats like mobile, video, and TV are attractive targets. They are well positioned to take advantage of the fastest growing segments of digital media.

Turkey braced for accelerated system transformation
by Sadık Ünay
Apr 21, 2018 - 12:00 am GMT+3
by Sadık Ünay Apr 21, 2018 12:00 am
The presidential system will complete Turkey's institutional transformation into a fully fledged emerging power. Therefore, the sooner this system transformation is complete the better
Turkey's long wait for the paradigmatic transition to a presidential system will soon be over as the chairman of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party), President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) Chairman Devlet Bahçeli agreed to set for early elections on June 24. The transition from the existing patchwork parliamentary system to a more effective presidential system with a new set of executive and legislative checks and balances was already approved in a constitutional referendum on April 16, 2017. Therefore, the issue of state transformation as well as the formation of a new legal and institutional framework in accordance with presidential governance has been on the public agenda for at least a year. But still, the announcement from Erdoğan concerning early presidential and general elections in just two months' time was a largely unexpected development for the majority of observers of Turkish politics.
The element of surprise in this announcement principally stemmed from Erdoğan and his party's principles that stipulate that all general elections should be held regularly and as schedule for the sake of stability and predictability in the country. Throughout the 15-year interlude during which the AK Party practically formed a dominant party system in Turkey with successive election victories, calling early general elections was used only as a measure of last resort. But everything is qualitatively different this time around. The AK Party has formed a political alliance with the MHP, which will continue most probably even after the elections and constructively after the presidential system is implemented. Erdoğan and AK Party officials indicated on various occasions that they were determined to hold general elections on Nov. 3, 2019, as scheduled. But when Bahçeli publicly called for early elections in August this week, creating widespread anticipation in the public, the electoral clock had already started ticking. Therefore, Erdoğan embraced the challenge and, while contradicting his usual principles, declared early elections in order to preserve the strategic alliance and prevent the formation of potential uncertainties in domestic politics and economy.
Politically speaking, early elections will undoubtedly favor Erdoğan, as he represents by far the strongest candidate with estimated popular support at around 55 percent. The opposition parties are highly disorganized, devoid of any serious political rhetoric concerning the presidential system and have not even determined their candidates for the campaign. Therefore, it will be an uphill struggle for them from the beginning.
More importantly, however, Turkey's fragmented parliamentary system has fallen into an abyss following the constitutional referendum on the presidential system last year. Erdoğan took steps toward the construction of a strong and effective executive branch, but comprehensive legal and institutional reforms are needed to restructure the public administration, foreign policy making and economic governance architecture in line with the new system. As Turkey continues its critical military operation in Afrin in northern Syria and global fluctuations stemming from the U.S.-Russia rift and geopolitical risks in the region continue to challenge economic stability, delaying general elections further could have been a strategic mistake. Institutional reforms to update the Turkish state in line with the presidential system will probably take a long time, but early elections are bound to stimulate accelerated steps on this front. Projected reforms will eliminate the existing dualism between the prime ministry and presidency, enabling clearly defined areas of operational control and responsibility for bureaucratic bodies. Appointment of ministers from outside Parliament in the new system will also decrease the potential influence of local political networks on macro-level decisions, thereby increasing the room for technical input. Structural reforms in the management of the macroeconomy will gain speed, as well, since the decision for early elections eliminates the possibility of losing another year amid discussions of election economics. As soon as the elections are over, structural reforms related to fiscal discipline, industrial policy, technological modernization, energy efficiency and employment creation could continue at full speed.
The global political economy is going through a turbulent period in which emerging powers such as Turkey are increasingly forced to monitor new conditions and produce fast and effective policy responses. Therefore, any decision that helps to decrease uncertainty and empower administrative effectiveness will contribute to national competitive capacity. The presidential system will complete Turkey's institutional transformation into a fully fledged emerging power. Therefore, the sooner this system transformation is complete the better.

Arizona executions paused: Commissioner to review state's death penalty process
By Brent Corrado
FOX 10 Phoenix
Executions on hold in Arizona
Executions in Arizona have been put on hold for now after an order from Attorney General Kris Mayes. Governor Katie Hobbs has ordered a review of death penalty procedures in the state.
PHOENIX - Executions in Arizona have been put on hold after Gov. Katie Hobbs issued an executive order that she says will improve and provide more transparency into the state's death penalty process.
The order states that the Death Penalty Independent Review Commissioner will review the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation, & Reentry lethal injection drug and gas chamber chemical procurement process, as well as execution protocols, and staffing.
Once the review is complete, the commissioner will issue a final report, which includes recommendations on how to improve the process.
"With the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation and Reentry now under new leadership, it's time to address the fact that this is a system that needs better oversight on numerous fronts," Hobbs said in a news release. "Arizona has a history of mismanaged executions that have resulted in serious questions and concerns about ADCRR's execution protocols and lack of transparency. I'm confident that under Director Thornell, ADCRR will take this executive action seriously."
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes announced her office "will pause all requests for warrants of execution while the review process is pending." Mayes also said she filed a motion to withdraw the warrant of execution for Aaron Gunches, who had asked the state Supreme Court to issue a death warrant for him before filing a motion to withdraw his request.
"My office will also pause all requests for warrants of execution while the review process is pending," Mayes tweeted. "If executions are carried out at any point in the future, I am committed to providing as much transparency into the execution process as the law allows."
Arizona, which currently has 110 prisoners on death row, carried out three executions last year after a nearly eight-year hiatus that was brought on by criticism that a 2014 execution was botched and because of difficulties obtaining execution drugs.
In 2014, Joseph Wood was injected with 15 doses of a two-drug combination over two hours, leading the death-row prisoner to snort repeatedly and gasp more than 600 times before he died. His lawyers said the execution was botched.
In the past, Arizona and other state had struggled to buy execution drugs after U.S. and European pharmaceutical companies began blocking the use of their products in lethal injections.
In July 2015, the state tried to import sodium thiopental, which had been used to carry out executions but was no longer manufactured by companies approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The state never received the shipment because federal agents stopped it at the Phoenix airport, and the state lost an administrative challenge to the seizure.
Arizona is the only state to currently have a working gas chamber.
The last lethal gas execution in the United States was carried out in Arizona more than two decades ago. The state refurbished its gas chamber in late 2020. Corrections officials had declined to say why they restarted the gas chamber.
All three prisoners executed in Arizona last year declined lethal gas, leading them to be put to death by injection, the default execution method.

I was thrilled to get the latest Dropcam Wi-Fi mobile connected camera in house, the Dropcam HD, shortly after it debuted at CES. I reviewed the previous model last spring and was impressed with its easy setup and cool companion apps for Android and iOS. With a more sleek design and 720p HD video capture and streaming, the Dropcam HD was one of the more exciting connected home gadgets I saw at CES.
As soon as I began testing my unit, I noticed some video issues. Video quality certainly did not look "HD," that's for sure. My video looked pixelated and colors were muddy. Also, video occasionally looked a bit warped, like it was filmed through a fisheye lens. There was also about a 5-7 second delay over PCWorld's Wi-Fi network. I wasn't the only reviewer who noticed this problem. The Verge and Slashgear also noted poor video quality.
The good news is that Dropcam picked up on this feedback right away and ensured PCWorld that all customers will receive a unit without video and audio issues. Right now, you can preorder a Dropcam from the company's Website, but you won't be able to get one right away. We'll publish a full-rated review of the Dropcam HD once we receive the final review unit.
So what's new with the Dropcam HD? It now has a night vision mode, which is useful if you're using it as a security camera. There's also two-way audio so you can respond to what you're watching. For example, you can ask who is at the front door or yell at your cat if he is misbehaving. I noticed that the speaker on the current model is weak, however, and it is hard to hear sound coming out of it. Hopefully, this issue will also be addressed in the final version. The camera also has digital zoom if you want to focus on a specific area of your home.
The Dropcam HD costs $150 and is available for preorders on www.dropcam.com. You can also access recorded footage at a later time if you upgrade your Dropcam account to either the Basic or Premium plans. For $9.95/month, you can record seven days of footage or for $30/month, you can record up to 30 days of video.
Updated 2/3/12 at 4:45 PM: We spoke to Greg Duffy, CEO of Dropcam, who said that no customers received faulty units in the initial shipment. According to Duffy, only reviewers received the pre-production cameras. He also stated that Dropcam offers a 30-day money back guarantee and a one-year limited warranty if customers are unsatisfied with their camera.

Scolthead Island Rescue
Tuesday evening saw the UK Coastguard requested the launch of the Hunstanton RNLI Hovercraft in response to reports of people cut off by the tide on Scolthead Island at Brancaster.
Soon after 5.15pm the Hunstanton RNLI Hovercraft launched on service to Brancaster as reports came in of 14 people cut off by the rising tide.
On arrival at Brancaster it was established that 13 people had swam ashore leaving one person on the island. He was taken on board the Hovercraft by the volunteer crew and landed on the beach into the care of the local coastguard response team.
Earlier the crew had been paged as a number of people were cut off on the sandbanks at Hunstanton. However, these people had all managed to make it back to the beach before the Hovercraft launched.

Excellent service, an argument for nationalisation.
It is possible that, on the morning of any one day, we may receive a letter from a friend in London, a relative living in the lonely parts of Sylhet or Burma, a business firm in America. All have come to us promptly and safely at the cost of a few Paisas. We become so accustomed to seeing the sun rise daily that we forget, through C.familiarity, what a wonder it is. In the same way we have grown up accustomed to the postal services and forget the efficiency of its widespread system. That is one of the good things which the British have left with us.
Short Paragraph on Gambling (400 Words)
The British postal services were originally expensive, and fairly slow before the extension of the railway services. The name of Rowland Hill was associated with the great innovation of penny postage. Alas! in these days of excessive taxation and inflated money, the penny post has disappeared in Britain, and it now costs two pence half penny for a letter. The Post Office also undertakes the conveyance of parcels, and even the most costly articles are thus sent. If the sender desires assurance. He can resister and insure the parcel for a small payment and the Post Office will accept all responsibility for loss.
There is also a Savings Bank Department in the Post Office which is a boon to the poor person who has only a small amount to invest. Government Bonds and Cash Certificates are issued to the public here, add in some country districts of Pakistan post offices once sold quinine as a precaution against malaria.
A letter, once delivered to the postal authorities, may pass through many hands. If sent overseas, it may go by air, or by a great P.&.O. steamship. If sent to a friend in a lonely district of Sylhet or Burma it may be carried through miles of jungle by a "runner". Several dak runners in districts of Sylhet were eaten by tigers, yet there was never any difficulty in getting others to carry the mail.
The postal services are an illustration of the best type of nationalization, for no private enterprise could ever have been so. universally extended and made so efficient as our postal department. It employs thousands and has a tradition of reliability.
