Adjudication services to Tournament of Bands and Tournament Indoor Association are provided by the National Judges Association. Originally founded in 1960, the National Judges Association (NJA) is the primary provider of adjudication services and is the parent group of the Tournament of Bands (TOB). TOB member organizations require judges for about 100 marching band field contests, approximately 100 indoor contests and instrumental events each year.
The National Judges Association was founded for the advancement and education of its membership in adjudication of all pageantry-oriented events and to promote the advancement of pageantry-oriented arts for youth in both scholastic and independent endeavors.
Incorporated as a 501 (c) (3) non-profit educational corporation, as such it provides in depth performer, instructor and management clinics, workshops and performance opportunities for scholastic and independent performance groups throughout the eastern United States. Member school seniors can apply for college scholarships that are provided each year.
Officers include a director, business manager and a large executive board composed of caption chairs and committees, education director, region coordinators, indoor coordinators, and liaisons of other organizations to which we provide service. Membership in this organization is restricted to those applicants who can meet the set standards for qualification.
At the start of 2014, the current active roster of judges is approximately 250. There are an additional 25 or so prospective judges progressing through the training program for certification in either indoor or outdoor captions. Applicants must progress through an educational process (training and testing) as well as attendance at all related clinics and seminars. NJA provides judges to other performance organizations such as Winter Guard International (WGI), Drum Corps Associates (DCA), Elks, Shriners, Lions (state, national and internationally), various junior drum corps associations, as well as municipal drill team, cheerleading, parade events, etc.
About 2,500 judge assignments are made each year.
For more information on having NJA provide adjudication for your event, or if you are interested in becoming a judge, please contact us.

Amazing Prairie Smoke Flower Plant
prairie smoke flower plant - In this article, we'll go over the fundamentals of designing a beautiful and relaxing garden. We'll also cover a few ideas to think about as you plant, with ideas about the kind of plants you can grow, as well as what plants are best suited to each other.
A plant's ability to adapt to its surroundings is dependent on a number of variables, such as the relative importance of light, water, air, nutrients, and the temperature of the surrounding. The ability of a plantspecies to spread through an area is dependent on its capacity to adapt to the abiotic and biotic elements in that region.
A plant's ability to adapt to its surroundings is contingent upon a variety of variables, such as the relative importance of light, water air, nutrients, as well as temperature in the particular environment. The capacity of a plant species to expand across an area is contingent on its ability to adapt to the biotic and abiotic components of the area.
The ability of a plant to adapt to its environment is dependent on a myriad of aspects, including the importance of water, light, air, nutrients, and the temperature in the area. The capacity of a species of plant to spread through an area is dependent on its ability to adjust to the biotic and abiotic components of that area.
There are a lot of elements that affect competition between plants such as the climate, soil conditions and availability for other natural resources. Competition is the primary interaction among plants. The plant species with the highest chances of thriving in a given area is the one that uses that area's resources most effectively.
Light reaching the surface of a plant is either absorbed, reflected, or transmitted. Energy is generated by sunlight, can be one of the driving forces in the chemical reaction called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process through which green plants manufacture food, mostly sugar, by combining carbondioxide with water, in the presence of chlorophyll. It makes use of light energy and releasing oxygen and water.
The most crucial essential requirement for life in plants. It is among the primary needs for growth of plants. It keeps the plant turgid It is also used for photosynthesis and moves nutrients around the plant. It also lowers the temperature of leaves as well as increases mineral absorption and pulls water from the roots up to the top of the plant through a process called transpiration.
Wind is the movement of air that is often beneficial to plants. It enhances the transfer of heat away from leaf surfaces and improves circulation in areas prone to fungal development, and is essential to transport airborne seeds. Wind can also be detrimental to plants, drying out leaves, scattering seeds of weeds and, in some cases, damaging plants.
The temperature of the earth's atmosphere fluctuates depending on altitude, latitude and topography. Temperature and climate affect the types of plants that can develop. The ability of a plant to withstand low temperatures and grow in colder climates is known as cold hardiness. Plants that aren't able to withstand cool weather are called fragile.
Soils are composed from a combination of minerals, organic matter water, air, and minerals in different proportions. The small particles of minerals are formed from rocks which have been broken down over long time due to the effects of weathering. Organic matter is composed in living cells, the waste they produce as well as decay products.
Texture refers to the size of particles which dominate. Texture of a soil will determine the amount of air, water and nutrients contained within the soil. The penetration of water, air, and roots is more easily through soils in which bigger particles are dominant.

Election fraud, treason and sedition as well as crimes against children investigations don't just happen over night it takes years to follow the money, organisations and people involved. Election fraud will be the first to come out widely and publicly I assume, but that is me assuming.

Ok, more news from the dead bloke McAfee, and this answers what i have been mulling over in my mind for some time about the choice of system 'Q group' chose for the operation, what is so special about the domain/server?, is it location of the server?, is it outside of regulatory bodies?, what is so special about the forum software operating on the domain/server?
The first 15 lines of text explicitly implies that the domain/server/software employed is a honey trap for pedophilia!!!

Just so you know i am no wiser than you on Q except to say that it is more accurate to say 'Q group', evidence of this has been discovered within this thread, as for who the anons are that's difficult to say, curious, puzzle solvers as noted earlier in this thread, opportunist's who seek change peacefully, wanna be secret agents, bored perhaps, it is hard to say but the premise of 'Q group' is about change and exposing corruption at every level, and if i am to be counted amongst the anons then i will state that it is about exposing the wrong doings of the corrupt system we currently live under and putting them where they actually belong, PRISON.

If your fulfillment firm isn't listed, or you Self Fulfill - please leave this section blank.
This lets you select a fulfillment center to connect to, and indicate how it should connect/communicate with ShipCompliant.
ShipCompliant Config: Website Settings > Store > Orders > SC FF House must be WineDirect.
Fulfillment Config: Website Settings > Store > Fulfillment > Fulfillment Co must be WineDirect Fulfillment Check Only.
With this setup, ShipCompliant gets sent orders and WineDirect does not get sent orders from Vin65 (they are sent order from ShipCompliant directly). WineDirect will check Vin65 for shipment information and send Vin65 shipment information.
ShipCompliant Config: Website Settings > Store > Orders > SC FF House must be CopperPeakLogistics.
Fulfillment Config: Website Settings > Store > Fulfillment > Fulfillment Co must be CPL.
With this setup, ShipCompliant does not check for compliance, it is simply acting as a hub to pass order from Vin65 to CopperPeak. CopperPeak then sends tracking numbers to ShipCompliant, and ShipCompliant sends the tracking number to Vin65.
WineDirect Compliance Config: This needs to be done by Vin65. No ShipCompliant settings should be filled out.
Fulfillment Config: Website Settings > Store > Fulfillment > Fulfillment Co must be WineDirect Fulfillment.
This will sent orders to WineDirect Compliance from Vin65. Vin65 then sends the order (if it passes compliance checks) to WineDirect Fulfillment. WineDirect Fulfillment sends the tacking number directly to Vin65.
This is your username and needs to come from WineDirect Fulfillment.
This is your password and needs to come from WineDirect Fulfillment.
This is the Fulfillment Account # from WineDirect. Get this from WineDirect Fulfillment.
This is often blank, but you should consult Vin65 and WineDirect before editing this.
You will need to enter an order number here that will tell the vendor which order to start checking. For example, if you have order numbers from 1000 to 5000, and you only want have WineDirect Fulfillment to start checking and updating orders 4504 and higher, you should set the order number to 4505.
This can be blank, but if there are multiple brands you may need to add a Prefix. This should also be the same as the ShipCompliant Prefix in Website Settings > Store > Orders > SC Order Prefix.
This will either allow, or not allow all of your pick up orders to be sent to fulfillment.

Brain Break: Do Nothing for Two Minutes
With help.
By Molly Savard
Maia Boakye
We see you, hard workers. We see you working through your lunch more often than not, equating a "break" with "getting ahead on emails." And we know that even when you do find time for yourself, it usually involves checking Twitter or resignedly deleting newsletters you'll never have time to read. But sometimes, you just need to do nothing — and thankfully, for those of us who struggle with this, there's a website that will hold you accountable to taking a few minutes to rest your brain.
Built by the mindfulness company behind the popular app Calm, Do Nothing for 2 Minutes is pretty much exactly what it sounds like — and it's so simple, it's almost offensive. The website features an image of a sunset over an ocean and the soothing sound of waves on a beach, peppered by the occasional seagull cry, with a timer set to two minutes. For those two minutes, the website prompts, you're expected to stop everything and just be. You can close your eyes, gaze into the digital horizon, or stare angrily at the clock counting down what might be the longest minutes of your life. Whatever you do, just don't touch the keyboard or mouse, or the clock resets and a red notification pops up telling you to "try again."
Do Nothing for 2 Minutes is a perfectly bite-sized break for moments when you feel overwhelmed or scattered. And science confirms this: Studies have shown that listening to nature sounds can calm your fight or flight response and allow your body to relax. Don't feel bad if you're still itching to get back to work by the end, though. At the very least, you can take pride in the fact that you beat the clock and actually managed to do nothing for two whole minutes — which is, in a weird way, doing something.

Michigan State football commit Kevin Wigenton loved Rutgers. Here's why he left N.J.
Evan Petzold
Michigan State football commit Kevin Wigenton is already living a college lifestyle.
When he transferred 30 miles from Colts Neck High to The Hun School of Princeton, a boarding school in New Jersey, to focus on football in 2018, there were many changes.
What was once foreign to him became his new way of life: dorm rooms, common living areas, small class sizes, low player-to-coach ratios, dining halls, nutrition plans, individualized workouts and — most substantial — living on his own.
That's why Wigenton, a 2021 three-star offensive guard, isn't worried about playing football far from home. It's why he felt comfortable committing to the Spartans on April 27, less than a month after being offered and without an in-person visit.
"There aren't a lot of schools in the country like Michigan State, with the tradition," he said. "I'm not worried about going away from home. I already have a good grasp of what that's going to feel like."
Switching schools, reclassifying
Hun coach Todd Smith wasn't sure what to expect when Wigenton stepped into his office. Colts Neck hadn't had a winning season since 2013, and there was little film on the offensive lineman.
But Wigenton's size — 6-foot-5, 290 pounds — needed no introduction.
"He was a no-brainer for us when he came over," said Smith, 42, who is entering his seventh year at The Hun School. "The one thing he showed us when he came over is that he plays like a junkyard dog. He comes off the ball and buries kids. He wasn't a weight room kid yet, he just played with great leverage and explosiveness."
Wigenton repeated his sophomore year in 2018-19. Sophomore and junior repeats are common among transfers to the New Jersey prep school, allowing for an extra year of development.
For Wigenton, who turns 18 in July, reclassifying will help him mature while he remains the same age as most in the 2021 recruiting cycle.
"All of the kids that repeat, they're young for their age," Smith said. "What's the rush? Let's let Kevin develop and become the best possible version in high school. If he gets a redshirt year at Michigan State, this kid could be a grown man by the time he's a redshirt sophomore, ready to step on the field and play."
Of the 35 players on this year's roster, Smith expects roughly 25 will play at Football Bowl Subdivision schools. The Hun School is known for producing top talent on both sides of the line, with Ryan Van Demark (UConn), Bobby Haskins (Virginia) and Caedan Wallace (Penn State) on offense and Fred Hansard (Penn State) on defense.
"It was an eye-opener from the day I got on campus," Wigenton said. "I got to learn in my sophomore year the way to process (recruiting), who to talk to, the things to avoid to best prepare myself. The Hun prepared me for the college level in all facets."
When MSU offensive line coach Chris Kapilovic came calling, Wigenton listened. He spoke at length with Kapilovic and coach Mel Tucker, followed by a virtual recruiting visit on FaceTime. He cut his list of schools to MSU, Tennessee, Pittsburgh and Maryland, then committed to the Spartans.
"I spent a lot of time going through the schools that offered and where I could see myself playing," he said. "The big thing for me was my relationship with the staff and academics.
"I know Michigan State will push me, and I know I'll have a great shot at the NFL. That's a big thing for me."
Original plan: Rutgers
Wigenton grew up a Rutgers fan. His father, Kevin Wigenton Sr., went to Rutgers Law School. His family cheered for the Scarlet Knights on the football field.
"That was my favorite team," he said. "I thought the plan was to go to Rutgers."
And indeed, Wigenton received an offer from then-coach Chris Ash in September 2019.
But Ash was fired at the end of the month, four games into the season. When Greg Schiano was hired in December — his second head coaching stint with the program — Wigenton got cold feet.
Wigenton said Schiano wanted him to commit on the spot.
"Not a lot of people know this," he said, "but the new staff came in and asked if I was ready to commit if they'd offer a scholarship that day. If not, they didn't want to get involved. I didn't like that. I just didn't get a good vibe from the Rutgers staff.
"When he got hired, they got eight commits pretty fast. He was just searching around looking for players ready to commit. If you weren't ready, he didn't want to get involved. I didn't like that, but it is what it is."
Smith said Schiano's crew thought Wigenton was a valuable prospect but wasn't the right fit.
"At the end of the day, they're very careful with the Jersey kids," Smith said. "When the new staff came in, the offensive line filled up a little bit. They're looking for pure tackles, kids that have played the position. They had a specific body type they were looking for."
Still, Wigenton is headed to the Big Ten. Off the field, he expects an easy transition to East Lansing. On the field, he knows nothing will be handed to him.
"He's a great character kid," Smith said. "You don't have to worry about him off the field. On the field, when he steps in between the sidelines, he'll play to the whistle and play hard. He's going to do everything in his power to destroy the person over top of him."

A ground-breaking new study has provided a unique glimpse into how ultra high net worth families around the world are attempting to protect their wealth. And the stark fact is that they are not doing enough.
Surprisingly, just a fifth of family business owners have asset protection plans, while only a third are implementing succession plans to ensure the family maintains control of the business.
It is a sad but common truth that many owners only become attuned to protecting their wealth after they have had their fortunes risked or lost. By this time, of course, it is often too late.
The fact that only 26.9% have asset protection plans is therefore a worrying statistic. When you consider that 64.5% have already been involved in unjust personal lawsuits and a further 89.7% say they are concerned about them, it becomes even more surprising.
However, it is not because of a simple failure to act. "Most owners of ultra high net worth family businesses don't implement strategies for asset protection in large part because no one has educated them about such options," said Mindy Rosenthal, managing director of Campden's North American business and co-author of the research.
While two thirds of respondents said a lack of knowledge was the prime reason behind not having a plan in place, 26% said they were too complicated.
Legality was a further issue. Four percent of respondents were concerned that asset protection solutions would be illegal, which highlights a wider trend that the wealthy attract those who seek to exploit legal systems for their own personal gain.
This all points to the complex relationships between owners and independent advisors. "Wealthy family-business owners tend to use multiple advisors, but they don't have a primary advisor overseeing the big picture and coordinating the various players," Rosenthal said. "There's a true need for a quarterback."
The report also shed light on the lengths some families and their advisors will go to in order to protect their wealth. Again, this highlighted problems associated with advisors. A massive 92% of respondents admitted to suing their advisors over highly aggressive asset protection solutions that were deemed to have exceeded acceptable limits. Nearly 80% blamed their advisors for such misdemeanors, while 59% of advisors cited financial and competitive pressure for their actions.
But protecting the family's wealth is not just about asset protection. With so much wealth tied up in the business, it is no surprise to learn that 78% want the family to keep control of it and, consequently, 75% have a succession plan in place. The system breaks down, however, when it comes to implementation.
The study found that only 38% of owners were actually putting succession plans into practice. In addition, most individuals with succession plans in place were not focusing on tax-mitigation issues (73%), even though nearly all participants (93%) reported a desire to lower the tax burden associated with transferring the business.
"Most ultra-affluent family business owners do have basic succession and trust and estate plans. The problem is they are all too often sitting on shelves gathering dust. Not only do these families need to act on implementing and updating their wealth planning strategies, they need more sophisticated strategies to better protect their wealth," said Rosenthal.

Weinstein pleads not guilty, released on bail
Weinstein...
NEW YORK (AP) – Harvey Weinstein, who was previously indicted on charges involving two women, was released on bail on Monday while fighting sex crime accusations that now include a third woman.
"We fight these battles one day at a time, and today we won this round," defense attorney Ben Brafman said outside court. Brafman said during an arraignment that he expects more charges.
Weinstein pleaded not guilty after he was brought into the courtroom while handcuffed from behind, then uncuffed for the proceeding.
An updated indictment unveiled last week alleges the movie mogul-turned-#MeToo villain performed a forcible sex act on a woman in 2006. The new charges include two counts of predatory sexual assault, which carries a maximum sentence of life in prison upon conviction.
Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. said the 66-year-old Weinstein is charged with "some of the most serious sexual offenses" that exist under state law.
"Mr. Weinstein maintains that all of these allegations are false and he expects to be fully vindicated," Brafman said.
More than 75 women have accused Weinstein, who was one of the most powerful men in Hollywood, of wrongdoing as allegations detailed in Pulitzer Prize-winning stories last October in The New York Times and The New Yorker magazine swelled into the #MeToo movement.
Several actresses and models accused Weinstein of criminal sexual assaults. They include: film actress Rose McGowan, who said Weinstein raped her in 1997 in Utah; "Sopranos" actress Annabella Sciorra, who said he raped her in her New York apartment in 1992; and the Norwegian actress Natassia Malthe, who said he attacked her in a London hotel room in 2008.
Weinstein, who produced movies including "Pulp Fiction" and "Shakespeare in Love," has denied all allegations of nonconsensual sex, with his attorney challenging the credib
Weinstein, who produced movies including "Pulp Fiction" and "Shakespeare in Love," has denied all allegations of nonconsensual sex, with his attorney challenging the credibility of his accusers.
The Associated Press generally does not identify people who say they are victims of sexual assault unless they come forward publicly.

IS pledge video consistent with group's decentralization into newer territories, will spur state crackdown – Azerbaijan Analysis
A recent propaganda series from Islamic State (IS) included a pledge video from Azerbaijan to the group's leader on July 2.
While the capabilities of IS-inspired cells in Azerbaijan are limited, there is a potential that this video may sustain increased online messaging among disaffected Sunni youth, with the latent chance of culminating in lone-wolf attacks by sympathizers.
The government will step up its crackdown on potential radicalization, particularly in the country's north, on unlicensed Islamic schools nationwide, and step up its monitoring of social media.
Travel to Azerbaijan can continue while maintaining vigilance due to the latent risk of crime and militancy.
Please be advised
Islamic State (IS) media released a video as part of its "The Best Outcome is for the Righteous" series on July 2. The video features three individuals believed to be from Azerbaijan pledging allegiance to IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi while calling on Muslims in the country to stage attacks.
In the video, the main speaker is identified as "Shaykh" Abu Yusuf al-Azeri. The individual provides an exposition of selected passages from the Hadith denouncing polytheism and calling for revenge for the alleged killing of Muslims.
In 2017, Azerbaijani State Security indicated that at least 900 citizens had traveled abroad and joined militant groups in Syria and Iraq. At least 250 have returned since, per independent estimates. State security officials also indicated in 2018 that dozens of Azerbaijanis have joined militant groups in the North Caucasus, while the number of those traveling to Afghanistan and Pakistan for the same purpose stands at 300.
Video consistent with IS' decentralization efforts, utilizing local appeal to push global message
The video gains significance when compared to the low frequency of official IS propaganda released involving Azerbaijan as the group's on-ground presence in the country has been considerably muted. Given that it is the sixth in an ongoing series from the group's affiliates across the globe, it stands to reason that this release is part of efforts by IS Central to increase propaganda in newer territories. This trend has grown since the release of a video featuring al-Baghdadi for the first time in five years in April. In Asia, the group's recent declaration of Wilayats, or provinces, in India and Pakistan is consistent with these decentralization efforts. The media release is further notable as it is the only video in the series thus far which is not dedicated to a Wilayat but to a separate country. This may be an indication of IS' long term ambitions in Azerbaijan and the South Caucasus as it attempts to further its regional presence.
The video appears to be made by local radicalized individuals with links to IS Central, possibly through networks facilitated by Azerbaijani foreign fighters. In terms of content, the speaker does not make explicit references to President Ilham Aliyev or the perceived local suppression of Muslims, but instead touches on more universal Salafist doctrines and provides general exhortations for attacks against unbelievers. Given that this is one of the first major IS videos on Azerbaijan in recent years, it is likely intended to establish the broad outlines of IS' creed for possible new audiences in Azerbaijan and serve as an entry point for future propaganda engagement. However, a reference to the government's cooperation with regimes abroad, particularly Iran, reiterates the close adherence to IS' sectarian ideology with regards to the Shiite majority state as well as "crusader" Western governments. The overlay of stock images of US forces and of President Aliyev in talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin during the video are intended to underscore this message. It is also notable that the video ends with a bay'ah or pledge in Azeri, as opposed to Arabic. This minimal use of Arabic, apart from subtitles, is also intended to maintain local appeal.
Northern Sunni communities to be target of messaging, may result in increased online activity by disaffected youth
Azerbaijani foreign fighters in Syria have typically come from the country's conservative Sunni communities in cities such as Sumqayit, Shabran, and Qusar. Police reports have also mentioned Khachmaz, Zaqatala, Qax, Yevlax, Oguz, Quba, and Sheki as notable hotspots for recruitment in the past. Mostly being border areas, radical elements may have crossed over to Russian territories in Dagestan to collaborate with actors who are a part of IS' Wilayat Kavkaz. That said, the establishment of an active Islamist operational presence locally in Azerbaijan has been limited as a result of close state monitoring and preemptive security operations against suspected cells.
In this context, the recent messaging may presage a revival in messaging and online chatter, particularly among disaffected Sunni youth in the northern districts who may see the video as an encouragement to oppose the Aliyev administration's crackdown on radical Islamic doctrines. Returning foreign fighters and those who attempted to travel to Syria but failed will likely be key influencers in this trend. This was noted in 2018 when a local named Eldaniz Mammadov was arrested and tried for posting pro-IS propaganda on social media platforms; the suspect is believed to have traveled to Syria at an unspecified previous time.
State response to focus on potential for radicalization on social media, unauthorized religious schools
It is important to note that at present, identified IS-inspired cells still remain marginal in numbers and have not demonstrated the capability for staging major attacks in the country. However, the video will raise concerns regarding the risk of lone-wolf attacks by sympathizers. Issues such as the state-controlled introduction of Islam as a subject in schools and universities in April may serve as flashpoints for disaffection as more conservative communities view this as an effort by the government to marginalize doctrines it perceives to be radical while increasing its hold on systems of religious education. As part of its crackdown, the Aliyev administration will likely step up its monitoring of suspected radicalized individuals across the country, making a series of arrests over the coming months.
The focus of the crackdown will include the closures of unauthorized Islamic theological schools and the detentions of Sunni Islamic scholars trained abroad as part of its continued efforts to prevent the influence of perceived external theology in the country. Measures will also include a scale-up of social media monitoring and tighter security along the country's northern border to prevent the movement of radicalized individuals towards IS-linked interests in the North Caucasus. Tighter scrutiny into the movement of firearms and explosives material, particularly via smuggling networks in the north, is also expected to follow. Areas such as Khachmaz and Qusar Districts will particularly draw the focus on the security apparatus, given the operations of Sunni extremist groups such as the Khachmaz Jamaat.
The government is also liable to step up its coordination with neighboring states on counter-militancy strategies. Typically, the Aliyev administration has used counter-militancy as a means to forge common ground with economic allies, such as Turkey and Russia. The country is also an ally in NATO's efforts in Afghanistan, providing airspace to cargo transportation for peacekeeping operations. The mention of Iran in the video and IS' sectarian orientation will raise concerns regarding the possibility for plots targeting the country's Shiite-majority. Such intentions, while not IS-linked, have been noted among Sunni extremists who have previously sought to target Shiite places of worship, such as the Meshedi Dadash Mosque in Baku. Closer security coordination between Tehran and Baku and a crackdown on smuggling networks along the southern border can also be expected in the foreseeable future.
Avoid posting content that may be perceived as controversial or anti-state when operating or residing in the country due to the risk of prosecution.
Avoid all travel to border areas near the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region due to continued ceasefire violations and the risk of conflict.
IS attack against Tazirbu police station on November 23 indicative of increase in militant group's ranks, capabilities in Libya – Libya Analysis
The modus operandi of the November 23 attack against the Tazirbu police station is very similar to the October 28-29 Islamic State (IS)-claimed attack against a police station in al-Fuqaha, Jufra District. The scale of these attacks, combined with the short time span within which they occurred make them highly noteworthy.
This shift in IS strategy from localized small-scale attacks across Libyan territory towards more focused large-scale attacks against towns in southern Libya, which witness lower security presence, indicates that the militant group has to some degree managed to reinforce its ranks as well as rebuild its capabilities over the past year.
Similar to the al-Fuqaha attack, IS militants kidnapped ten people, including government officials and security personnel from Tazirbu. IS' increased focus on kidnappings can be attributed to its interest in using the abductees as bargaining chips for ransom. This would allow the group to replenish its revenues, purchase supplies and weaponry, and ramp up its operations in Libya.
We advised against all travel to the southern outlying areas of Libya at this time due to the general lack of governance and security protocols in this region, which makes it conducive for militant activity and attractive targets for attacks.
According to reports, suspected IS militants aboard ten armed vehicles launched an attack targeting a police station in Tazirbu, located in the Kufra District, during the night hours of November 23.
At least nine civilians and policemen were killed, and 15 were wounded as a result of the attack.
Reports further indicate that the militants kidnapped at least ten people, including the Mayor of Tazirbu and a member of the municipal council, and fled the scene.
The Libyan National Army (LNA) has diverted forces from other parts of Kufra District towards the town of Tazirbu to secure it.
Assessments & Forecast
The modus operandi, target, and location of the attack suggest that it was carried out by IS militants. The Sunni jihadist militant group recently conducted a very similar attack against the al-Fuqaha police station, located in the Jufra District, during the overnight hours of October 28-29. The scale of these two attacks, along with the short time span within which they occured make them highly noteworthy. In the time period between IS' complete loss of territories in Libya in December 2016 and October 2018, the majority of the militant group's attacks had been relatively small-scale as well as spread out over a long period of time and territory. The majority of these attacks utilized suicide vehicle-borne IEDs (SVBIEDs) against security checkpoints or small-scale raids against police stations. For instance, the July 24 raid against the al-Uqaylah police station killed two LNA soldiers and wounded three others, while the June 2 raid against the al-Qunan police station killed one civilian and wounded five others.
Over the past year, IS was likely operating in groups of 10-12 fighters in the country. This allowed its militants to avoid attracting security forces' attention and move relatively undetected across a larger swathe of territory. The lack of sufficient personnel and weaponry may have compelled IS to operate in this manner, which, in turn, had an impact upon their ability to launch larger-scale attacks. The recent attacks in al-Fuqaha and Tazirbu may indicate that IS has managed to bolster its ranks, partly through militants fleeing the group's territorial losses in Syria and Iraq and partly through new recruits who now consider Libya as a more attractive arena. This has allowed IS to concentrate its forces towards launching larger-scale attacks against entire towns, rather than just security checkpoints or isolated government infrastructure, for example, in Tripoli in May and September as well as in Misrata in October 2017.
While, on the one hand, this indicates that IS has managed to rebuild its capabilities in Libya to some degree since its loss of territories to Misrata forces in December 2016, the location of the recent attacks suggest that these capabilities are still limited. Although al-Fuqaha and Tazirbu are both located within LNA-held territories, the towns witness relatively lower security presence as compared to areas located further north in the Sirte Basin and the Oil Crescent. The security forces of southern towns are largely comprised of local militias, who maintain small armed fighting units that are neither well-equipped nor well-trained. Therefore, it is possible that IS decided to focus its efforts in southern Libya, as this would increase the militant group's chances of success.
As witnessed in the attack on the al-Fuqaha police station, the focus on conducting kidnapping of government officials and security forces stands out in the recent incident. Unconfirmed reports from November 10 indicated that IS is seeking to negotiate the release of four out of the ten hostages abducted in the attack on al-Fuqaha. If confirmed, this would suggest that through such kidnappings-for-ransom, the Sunni jihadist militant group is aiming to replenish its revenues, which, in turn, would allow it to purchase supplies and weaponry to ramp up its operations in Libya. This would also explain the recent kidnapping of the Mayor of Tazirbu, who by the prerogative of his position within society would demand a higher ransom. Aside from the ransom, such an abduction allows IS to project the Libyan authorities as incapable of securing its own civilians, thereby allowing the group to showcase its relatively higher capabilities.
FORECAST: IS will claim responsibility for the attack over the coming hours, as its scale will allow the militant group to significantly raise its profile in Libya. Meanwhile, the LNA will divert forces towards Tazirbu in order to secure the town over the coming hours and days. It will increase security protocols in Kufra District, which may include increased security checkpoints along main roads. The LNA may also tighten security along Libya's southern borders with Sudan and Chad, as the porosity of these borders allows militant organizations to engage in the cross-border movement of fighters, supplies, and weaponry. While this may facilitate LNA forces in gathering vital intelligence and intercepting IS convoys, it will also provide the militant group with additional targets for attacks. On a more strategic level, the UN-backed Government of National Accord (GNA) may utilize this attack to highlight the LNA's inability to secure its held territories and attempt to leverage this in its political negotiations with the latter.
It is advised to defer all travel to Tripoli and Benghazi at this time due to ongoing violence, threats against foreigners, and the risk of a broad deterioration of security conditions. We advise at this time that those remaining in Tripoli and Benghazi should initiate contingency and emergency evacuation plans due to deterioration in the security situation. Contact us at [email protected] or +44 20-3540-0434 for itinerary and contingency support plans.
For those remaining in Tripoli, we advise to avoid nonessential travel to the outskirts of the city, particularly the Janzour and Tajoura neighborhoods, as well as to the Mitiga and Tripoli International Airports, given that these are focal points of ground clashes in the city.
Avoid the immediate vicinity of government buildings, police stations, media outlet offices, and political party and militia headquarters, given that these locales have been targeted by militia groups in the past and recently by militants, and thus remain at increased risk for violence and unrest.
Westerners, particularly US citizens, operating in Libya are advised to maintain a low profile and exercise heightened vigilance in light of prevailing anti-Western sentiment and increasing attacks against foreigners.
Nationwide, take precautions to mitigate the risk of being targeted for kidnapping. Refrain from traveling in luxury vehicles and maintain a generally low profile. Routinely alter travel routes and refrain from divulging sensitive itinerary information to strangers.
New military campaign in North Sinai likely linked to upcoming March 2018 presidential elections – Egypt Analysis
On February 9, the Egyptian Armed Forces (EAAF) Spokesperson announced the commencement of a large-scale "comprehensive" military operation to "eliminate all terrorist elements" across the country, called "Operation Sinai 2018", with special emphasis placed on the Sinai Peninsula, Nile Delta, and Western Desert. The Spokesperson also announced an increase of the country's alert level due to the operations.
As part of the of the campaign, the Egyptian Air Force (EAF) intensified the frequency of its airstrikes targeting militant hideouts throughout North Sinai Governorate, especially in the Rafah-al-Arish-Sheikh Zuweid triangle and Central Sinai District. The Egyptian Navy increased its activity along Sinai's coastal region, while heightened security protocols were recorded at ports and border crossings. Security forces also increased presence in the vicinity of vital infrastructure and installations. Reports from February 9 indicate that civilian Suez Canal crossings from mainland Egypt to the Sinai, including by vessel and through tunnels, have been closed to civilian traffic due to the military campaign.
On March 8, the EAAF Spokesperson stated that Operation Sinai 2018 had yielded the deaths of 105 Islamic State (IS)-affiliated Wilayat Sinai fighters and the arrests of hundreds of the group's militants, and that 16 soldiers had also been killed since the beginning of the campaign. The Spokesperson also announced that the EAAF destroyed 1,907 hideouts and weapon storehouses.
The Egyptian government has achieved partial success in containing militancy threats over the past year, with a reduction in the overall number of attacks. However, the persistence, albeit reduced frequency, of attacks in North Sinai Governorate and mainland Egypt likely motivated this recent operation, demonstrating efforts to mitigate threats from multiple groups, particularly the IS-affiliate Wilayat Sinai. The large-scale attack at a mosque in North Sinai's Bir al-Abd on November 24, 2017, which killed over 300 people, also likely triggered the operation, and it took a period of months to prepare and mobilize for the current operation.
However, considering the timing of its commencement and execution, the primary motivation for the military campaign is likely political and connected to the upcoming March 2018 presidential elections, in which President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi is the leading candidate. President al-Sisi likely initiated the operations in order to boost his status among the Egyptian populace and project an image of power, stability, and intensified efforts to tackle the threat of militancy. Al-Sisi also likely timed the operation to deflect domestic and international criticism away from the election's perceived lack of legitimacy and toward the issue of counter-terrorism, following the withdrawal or arrest of most of his electoral opponents over the past several weeks. To a lesser but still significant degree, the operation was also likely launched to draw attention away from Egypt's poor economic conditions and towards a different public issue, namely militancy, and measures taken by authorities to tackle it.
The operations also follow international media reports about Israeli airstrikes against Wilayat Sinai in North Sinai in recent years. The Egyptian government likely intends to use the operations to demonstrate their sovereignty over North Sinai Governorate and their ability to mitigate militant threats with their own forces. This is particularly likely in light of the heightened criticism regarding al-Sisi's close cooperation with Israeli authorities vis-a-vis the threat of militancy stemming from Wilayat Sinai elements.
Strategically, the nationwide campaign aims largely at isolating Wilayat Sinai militants in North Sinai Governorate. The reported closure of Suez Canal crossings to the movement of civilians, as well as the intensified activity by the Egyptian Navy along the Sinai coastal region, are meant to prevent reinforcements and smugglers from aiding Wilayat Sinai militants, thus putting further pressure on the Sunni jihadist militant group in North Sinai Governorate. The heightened security measures in the vicinity of vital infrastructure and installations likely were put in place to prevent reprisal attacks by militants, which in turn, would embarrass the Egyptian authorities.
FORECAST: The EAAF will likely continue implementing a strategy aimed at further isolating Wilayat Sinai militants in their aforementioned strongholds of Central Sinai Distinct and the Rafah-al-Arish-Sheikh Zuweid triangle. By carrying out simultaneous assaults on these two areas, the EAAF likely seeks to fix militants in their positions, preventing them from reinforcing the two respective areas or conducting attacks to the rear of security forces. The intensified aerial bombardments are meant to hamper militant movements, which in turn, may impede their ability to regroup or conduct attacks in order to force the deployment of Egyptian troops away from the frontlines. Furthermore, tighter inspection is liable to be enforced between Egypt and Gaza at the Rafah border crossings.
Israel permitted Egypt to deploy a large amount of forces into Sinai, as according to the 1979 Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty, Israeli permission is required for such a move. This highlights the increased coordination between the two countries, as they both perceived Wilayat Sinai as a strategic threat. In order to complicate and discourage the security coordination between the two countries, Wilayat Sinai may target southern Israel with rocket fire over the coming days and weeks. While in the short-term, the number of Wilayat Sinai attacks may decrease, given precedent of previous operations by the EAAF in North Sinai Governorate, over the coming months the Sunni jihadist militant group will likely renew its elevated activity in the region. The group will likely lower its profile in order to facilitate this, which would enable it to regroup and carry out multiple attacks against Egyptian security forces.
Travel to Cairo and Alexandria may continue while adhering to all security precautions regarding militancy and civil unrest. Consult with us for itinerary-based travel recommendations.
Avoid all travel to the North Sinai Governorate and border areas with Libya, Sudan, and Israel due to the persistent risk for militant attacks, kidnappings, and general lawlessness.
We further advise to avoid nonessential travel to the Southern Sinai Peninsula, while maintaining heightened vigilance in the Suez Canal Zone, the Upper Nile area, and the Nile Delta region due to an increased risk of unrest and the heightened risk of militant attacks. Before traveling to Sharm al-Sheikh, confirm that flight operations are continuing and have not been impacted by recent militant threats.
As a general security precaution, remain vigilant in areas surrounding and avoid the immediate vicinity of government installations, police stations, and religious centers, particularly churches, as these locations remain under elevated threat of militant attacks. When traveling in central squares, or in areas with persistent police deployments, avoid the immediate vicinity of security forces, particularly fixed traffic booths, as such personnel and facilities have increasingly come under attack by militant elements.

Telstra's long history in Asia - a lot more than just cables and PoPs
Oliver Camplin-Warner
As the telecommunications industry gathers in Atlanta for ITW, it's normal for companies to focus on what's new.
Announcements like our deployment of the brand new high-speed INDIGO cable between Singapore and Australia or our expansion of our 'Always-on' connection service which is aimed at providing continuous connection on our busiest Asian routes represent important developments both for us and our customers – the latest investments we have made in enhancing global connectivity and our subsea cable network.
It is also, however, a time to reflect on the entirety of what we do and highlight some of the lesser reported facts about connecting the world to Asia – and Asia to the world.
Building and operating the largest subsea cable network in APAC with 30 per cent of the lit intra-Asia capacity is not easy. But in addition to that, we have also built a strong in-country footprint across the region in markets with different languages, cultural norms, climatic conditions, not to mention complex access regimes. That's why we're extremely proud of the work we've done to become the number one foregin telecommunications provider in South Korea, Taiwan and the Philippines – and one of the top few in mainland China, Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore.*
A shared experience creating Asian connectivity
These achievements are founded on a long history on the ground in Asia.
From the development of the first international networks into Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos to work on the first Hong Kong to Singapore cable, we have been deeply involved in delivering connectivity in Asia. We were instrumental in the development on the first mobile networks in India and Sri Lanka, as well as the first 2G network in Thailand.
We are honoured to have contributed to these developments, and even more proud that some of the people who achieved these feats are still with us today more than 30 years later.
An ongoing commitment to in-country Asian expertise
Today, Asia is booming. The region's economic rise has seen it called the "world growth engine", driven by countries that make up more than 60 per cent of the world's population, and those people are demanding connectivity! By 2022, it's expected that Asian IP traffic will grow by 32 per cent every year, ultimately carrying as much as 5.7 exabytes every day – more than every word ever spoken by human beings.
And we are playing a vital role in supporting this growth. In January, Telstra made an investment on the Japan to US route on the new-generation New Cross Pacific cable. These investments are part of a long-term strategy to capture data demand across Asia and the Pacific, in conjunction with our leading position on the HK-US route and investment in both Hong Kong Americas and Pacific Light Cable Network.
When it comes to infrastructure we continue to: build out our subsea cable network boosting capacity and resiliency delivering our always on promise, increase our investment in our backhaul network across China, Taiwan, Japan & Korea, and be at forefront of providing connectivity between US & China.
But technology and connectivity don't meet all our customers' needs. That's why we continue to build our local presence and engage with the local governments and the business community, to offer local service, support and counsel to customers around the world.
Relationship goals: Milestones in key markets
This enviable position is due to our culture of partnering with our customers, of having strong engineering expertise and an exemplary service record.
We have engaged local staff, forged public and private partnerships, and invested in domestic infrastructure making it easier for our customers to do business across Mainland China, South Korea, Philippines, Indonesia, Japan and more.
This year marks a decade of operations for our Telstra PBS joint venture in China, founded on the strength of our long-term relationships with Chinese partners. We were the first Sino-foreign joint venture with a cross-provincial IPVPN license in Mainland China, building and operating data centres, IPVPN networks and backhaul that now extend to 47 PoPs in 37 cities – with more coming soon. We are only western Telco with approval for cross border VPN into China.
We also celebrate our fifth anniversary of telkomtelstra in Indonesia; our joint venture with Indonesia's largest carrier Telkom. Marrying Telkom's extensive domestic network capability and infrastructure with our international and service capabilities, we offer end-to-end managed solutions across Indonesia.
Connect to Asian expertise
Individually, each of these developments offers answers to some of our customers' biggest challenges in looking to connect with Asian growth.
But all together they underline the strength of our commitment – both in the ongoing development of our subsea network and our extensive, unique in-country people & asset footprint - to support our customers do business in Asia in bigger and better ways.

'Ain't nobody in it': Police pull over driverless car in San Francisco traffic stop
Aaron Watkins Send an email April 13, 2022
The driverless car was pulled over because it was driving at night without headlights on.
SAN FRANCISCO, California — Video of a traffic stop in San Francisco, California is going viral.
The vehicle the police pulled over had no driver.
At first, it looks like an ordinary traffic stop.
An officer gets out of his car to speak to the driver – only to discover there is no driver.
"Ain't nobody in it!" the Instagram user recording the video says.
And then the car speeds away from the officers, passing through an intersection before pulling over again.
Multiple officers then approach to inspect the car.
Cruise, the company that operates the car, and is majority-owned by General Motors, tweeted: "Our autonomous vehicle yielded to the police vehicle, then pulled over to the nearest safe location. An officer contacted Cruise personnel and no citation was issued."
Chiming in with more details: our AV yielded to the police vehicle, then pulled over to the nearest safe location for the traffic stop, as intended. An officer contacted Cruise personnel and no citation was issued.
— cruise (@Cruise) April 10, 2022
Cruise won approval this year to operate its driverless taxis in part of the city.
Another company, Waymo, is also offering driverless rides in San Francisco.
"The reason there are so few of these companies and vehicles on the road is because this technology has a lot going on. So controlling for the environment is one thing, and controlling for just the other roadway users is a whole other game," Kelly Funkhouser, manager of vehicle technology at Consumer Reports, said.
Cruise says it has a dedicated phone number for police to call when there's a problem with its cars.
In this recent case, a maintenance team from the company responded and took control of the car.

Vicki West Harrison, born March 4, 1943 in Atlanta, GA to Dr. John Q.A. and Flonnis Cox West passed away March 26, 2018 in Dallas after a courageous 3-year fight with cancer.

She graduated from Highland Park High School in the class of 1961. She attended the University of Arkansas where she was a member of Zeta Tau Alpha, later graduating from Stephen F. Austin with a BA and MA in Elementary education. She met Jim Harrison at First Baptist Church in Dallas and married in 1971. She loved reading, gardening, traveling, concerts and musicals and playing the piano. An inspiring teacher, she loved her students and did everything she could to encourage higher education. She instilled a work ethic in her students, so they could achieve their dreams. Vicki touched the lives of many students and coworkers during her 35-year career in the Dallas ISD and Garland ISD. After her retirement from education, she continued to mentor and tutor 4th and 5th graders as well as substitute teach. As a Mother, she was proud of her children. Her son ran in the Dallas Marathon each year and her daughter, following in her footsteps, became an elementary music teacher.

Q: Why is my header float leaving a margin at the top of the page? I'm doing a practice site based on a project from Treehouse and I'm having a little problem. I've styled a header element and everything is good with what I've done so far, my only question is when I float the element left I get a margin at the top of the page. Without the float the element butts up against the top of the browser just fine.
What is causing this margin to appear? I'm using normalize.css and my code is below:

Bayern pair Alaba, Martinez fit to take on Real Madrid
AFP , Sunday 29 Apr 2018
Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski celebrates scoring their second goal with David Alaba and team mates (Photo: Reuters)
Bayern Munich's Alaba, Tolisso doubtful against Real Madrid
Bayern Munich will have left-back David Alaba and midfielder Javi Martinez back from injury for Tuesday's Champions League semi-final, second leg at Real Madrid.
The pair both took part in training on Sunday in Munich, but reports suggest that winger Arjen Robben will not recover in time to play at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Alaba is fit again after missing Wednesday's 2-1 first-leg defeat with a thigh injury, while defensive midfielder Martinez has recovered after coming off with a head injury in the second half.
Austrian Alaba says he is "well on the way" and is expected to return at left-back in place of Rafinha, whose mistake led to Marco Asensio's winning goal in the first game.
"You can see in the training sessions how focused and concentrated we are working," said Alaba.
"The mood in the team is very, very good.
"In the dressing rooms, you can see how much we want it and we'll put in 100 percent of what we have."
Forwards Thomas Mueller, Robert Lewandowski and wingers Franck Ribery and James Rodriguez, who were all rested for Saturday's 4-1 Bundesliga win against Eintracht Frankfurt, were also put through their paces.
However, magazine Kicker claims Robben will not travel to Madrid on Monday after injuring his groin at the Allianz Arena.
Alongside long-term injury victims Manuel Neuer, Kingsley Coman and Arturo Vidal, Bayern will also be without centre-back Jerome Boateng, who also damaged his groin against Real.
Club chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge says the Bavarians will need their "best performance of the season" to win in Madrid and reach the Champions League final in Kiev on May 26.
"We are looking forward to the second leg, against the best team in the world which has won the Champions League three times since 2014," said Rummenigge.
"Real are undoubtedly the benchmark in world football.
"If we want to realise our Kiev dream at the Bernabeu, we definitely need the best performance of the entire season."
Tuesday is a national public holiday in Germany, however Rummenigge says it will be anything but for Bayern in Madrid.
"It will be guaranteed a day of work, and then hopefully a May public holiday," he added.

Q: Get number of results from Search Action on Zapier I build zap using zapier, which performs "Find Person" Action on Pipedrive crm (the question is relevant to search in any integration)
The result returned from the search is a single object. (Contrary to what might be expected - an array of objects)
My goal is to know how many records returned from the search (I mean the list length actually), and use that information to perform various actions later in the Zap.
How can this be done?
how my zap currently looks
Thanks

A: Zapier searches are designed to resolve a piece of info (like an email) into a single record from an external service (like a "Contact"), so it's working as expected here.
I'm not sure the official integration will return the data you want here, but you can write a custom integration that has an action like "Count People Matching Search", which could return that data for you.
There's info about building a custom integration here: https://platform.zapier.com/

The Interstate Environmental Commission (or IEC) is a tri-state water and air pollution control agency committed to protecting, conserving, and restoring the environment in the Interstate Environmental District (IED), particularly in the area of water quality.
In brief, the Interstate Environmental Commission's District runs west from a line between Port Jefferson, New York, and New Haven, Connecticut, on Long Island Sound; south from Bear Mountain on the Hudson River to Sandy Hook, New Jersey (including Upper and Lower New York Bays, Newark Bay, Arthur Kill and Kill Van Kull); and embraces a portion of the Atlantic Ocean out to Fire Island Inlet on the southern shore of Long Island and the waters abutting all five boroughs of New York City. Click here to view a map of Interstate Environmental District. Our entire district consists of water that is shared by New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Just as water knows no state borders, the IEC is committed to taking a regional approach to water quality management, yet recognizes that water quality protection needs vary across our member states and in fact across different regions within the state.
While the majority of the IEC's funding comes from federal sources—primarily federal Clean Water Act Section 106 grants—state funding is critical to enable the Commission to implement the work plan of the grants and to meet the match requirement for federal grants. IEC also receives annual federal funding from EPA Region 1's Long Island Sound office to support its western Long Island Sound monitoring, and, since 2017, has received funding from Connecticut Fund for the Environment/Save the Sound to support IEC's participation in the Unified Water Study. IEC continually strives to diversify its sources of funding by responding to requests for proposals (RFPs) which match IEC's capabilities and expertise, frequently in collaboration with regional partners.
