USAF Courtesy Photo
* CNN.com brings us the following... and possible GREAT NEWS... and their report starts off like this... The Pakistani military on Sunday was looking into a local report that the region's Taliban leader had died, officials said... State broadcaster PTV reported that Hakimullah Mehsud, the Taliban commander in Pakistan, was wounded in a drone attack this month, and that he died and was buried last week. PTV cited local sources and its correspondent in North Waziristan...
Read the full report at link below...
Report: Pakistani Taliban leader killed
* FoxNews.com has this take on the news out of Pakistan today... The head of the Taliban in Pakistan, Hakimullah Mehsud, was killed in a U.S. drone attack, Pakistan state television reported Sunday... The report stated Mehsud had been injured in a drone attack in the Shaktoi area January 14 and died three days later. He reportedly was buried in the village of Mamuzai in the North Waziristan region... But a Taliban spokesman denied the report on Sunday, calling it a "total lie" in an interview with Reuters... The Pakistani army said it is investigating the reports...
Read the rest of this lengthy report at link below...
Pakistan Taliban Chief Reportedly Killed in U.S. Drone Strike
* Aljazeera.net has this report...
Profile: Hakimullah Mehsud
* SKY News has a Great read and News Video posted up on their website HERE
We will know the truth, one way or another... on this matter soon enough. In my opinion... this attack was a response for the killing of our CIA Agents in the Afghanistan suicide bombing a few months ago... and I for one SOOOO hope they killed him... deader than dead.

Fixed-wing flights get Troops home faster
Saturday, January 30, 2010 14:51
More than 3,000 U.S. Soldiers here took advantage of a new program offering fixed-wing flights off this Camp, Jan. 27, significantly decreasing their travel time back home to the States.
Traditionally, Soldiers are transported via helicopter to Joint Base Balad or Baghdad International Airport before they departed to Ali Al Salim Air Base in Kuwait, said Staff Sgt. Rufus Brumfield, senior enlisted adviser with the 384th Movement Control Team, 49th Transportation Battalion (Movement Control), 15th Sustainment Brigade, 13th Sustainment Command (Expeditionary).
"We are able to move numerous [passengers] straight from here and they don't have to stop at another installation like BIAP," said Brumfield, a New Orleans native. "They can fly from [Camp Taji] straight to Ali Al Salim and then to the States. We can cut out a lot of travel time and moving back and forth."
This major redeployment of troops involved the movement of more than 3,000 Soldiers in roughly two weeks, said Capt. William Bailey, commander of the 384th MCT.
"Soldiers get to Kuwait faster by offering a fixed-wing solution out of Taji, as opposed to having to connect somewhere else," said Bailey, a Huntsville, Miss., native.
Roughly 200 to 300 Soldiers were moved each night, he said.
The Soldiers are moved in a Boeing C-17 Globemaster III or a Lockheed C-130 Hercules out of Camp Taji, said Bailey. Their gear is palletized and loaded onto the plane, he said.
The operation had been in the initial planning stages since August, said Maj. Richard Michaels, division transportation officer with the 1st Cavalry Division.
The 1st Heavy Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cav. Div. and the 30th HBCT redeployed at the same time, said Michaels, a Jefferson City, Tenn., native. With two HBCTs being redeployed at once, BIAP would have had more than 800 Soldiers a day bound to Ali Al Salim, said Michaels.
This would have caused heavy congestion in the terminal and complicated the redeployment process, he said.
To mitigate travel flow congestion, they decided to use the flight line at Camp Taji to conduct a mass redeployment of 1st Cav. Div., he said. The 30th HBCT would leave the Baghdad area through BIAP, said Michaels.
"Redeploying the 30th and 1st Cav. was 8,000 Soldiers leaving Iraq at the same time," said Michaels.
The operation out of Camp Taji reduced the units' overall travel time by four days, said Michaels. With two to three flights flying out a night, the operation took roughly 16 days, he said.
"This allowed us to keep the Soldiers in the battle space doing [transition training] with the incoming unit for two days longer," said Michaels. "This gained them a little more efficiency with their [relief in place] and their efficiency of getting out of Iraq."
Several units assisted in the process, Michaels said. The MCT, the Air Force logistics teams on the flight line and the senior airfield authority combined with expertise from the 1st Air Cavalry Brigade made for quick and efficient operation execution, said Michaels.
"The ease and smoothness of this operation is about 10 times better than any brigade redeployment or deployment we've experienced out of BIAP," said Michaels. "Having a whole C-17 dedicated to a redeployment has been huge to the mission's success."
The operation was a major success due to cooperation with the different military branches and groups that played a role, said Michaels. The success at Camp Taji was a testament to what can be accomplished when the branches come together in the aid and support of one another, he said.
"Being able to leverage all the joint capabilities that reside within this theater to redeploy Soldiers and get them out on time is certainly what we have to work for even as the drawdown approaches," said Michaels.

King of Spades on Famous Deck of Caeds
Ali Hassan al-Majid, (Chemical Ali)
Executed by Hanging Today
Cropped USAF file photo
* CSMonitor.com brings us the following report out of Iraq today and it starts off like this... Ali Hassan al-Majid, the cousin of Saddam Hussein and regime enforcer who cast almost as fearsome a shadow across Iraq as the former dictator, was executed by hanging on Monday in Baghdad, Iraq... Mr. Majid, who served as Hussein's internal security chief, came to be known as "Chemical Ali" after he ordered the use of poison gas in a ferocious counterinsurgency campaign against the Kurds in the late 1980s. In one incident, 5,000 men, women, and children were killed with nerve gas in the village of Halabja in 1988. He was the fifth most-wanted regime official and the king of spades on the famous deck of cards that the US military issued after its 2003 invasion...
Seven years after the fall of Baghdad, Chemical Ali is executed

* NOW... I for one have come to love following Politics over the last 9 years or so and I find myself never surprised at what the minds of the Dems can come up with next. The following article I found today at the Washington Examiner's website is a good example of just how far a Dem will go with nothing more than PURE speculative BS! This FUN read by Bryon York starts off like this... Frantic over the possibility that a Democrat might lose the race to replace Sen. Ted Kennedy in Massachusetts, the Democratic National Committee has sent its top spinner, Hari Sevugan, to the aid of Democratic candidate Martha Coakley, who appears to be rapidly losing ground to Republican Scott Brown. But what can Sevugan do to shore up Coakley's struggling campaign? Well, he spent his first day on the job trying to tie Brown to Sarah Palin...

Desperate Dems try to Palinize Massachusetts Senate race

During the Senatorial Debate Last week in Massachusetts, moderator David Gergen asked Scott Brown a question, mentioning the Kennedy Seat... in which Brown immediately shot back with one of the best 'all-time' answers... EVER!!!
"It's The People's Seat."

Ali Hassan al-Majid, (Chemical Ali), will be hanged within days
* Guardian.co.uk brings us this bite of good news out of Iraq today and their report starts off like this... One of Saddam Hussein's most loathed henchman, Ali Hassan al-Majid, otherwise known as Chemical Ali, will be hanged within days, a senior official said tonight, setting the scene for Iraq's highest profile execution since Saddam himself was put to death more than three years ago... The former spy chief and first cousin of Saddam was today sentenced to death for ordering the slaughter of more than 5,000 Kurds in the northern Iraqi town of Halabja with chemical weapons in 1988... It was the fourth death sentence the 68-year-old has received for atrocities committed during the brutal three-decade reign of the Ba'athists. Iraq's deputy justice minister, Busho Ibrahim, said Majid's execution was now imminent... "We will receive Chemical Ali from the Americans in the next few days and he will be executed very soon afterwards," said Ibrahim. Majid was sentenced by Iraq's high criminal court. All remaining prosecutions he faces are now expected to be set aside...

#28- AubreyJ's Energy Update Report - January 14, 2010
AubreyJ's Latest Energy Update Report
Latest from Mr. T. Boone Pickens
. Image credit: Chesapeake Energy Corporation
From the desk of T. Boone Pickens
I'm going to get straight to the point of this email.
We imported 4.35 billion barrels of oil in 2009 at a cost of over half a million dollars per minute.
4.35 BILLION barrels imported in 2009.
Over $500,000 dollars spent per MINUTE on foreign oil.
That's another $265 BILLION siphoned out of America's struggling economy, and we still haven't adopted a real energy plan to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
For this reason I'm going back on the airwaves with a new television advertisement this week. In the ad, I encourage Americans to contact their Members of Congress immediately in support of the NAT GAS Act. You can view the new ad below...
If you haven't already signed the Energy Independence NOW petition, I encourage you to click here and sign it as soon as possible. ... This is important... 55,000 people have signed the petition in the past week. Let's keep sending the message to Congress over and over and over again until they finally hear us and pass legislation to end our dangerous dependence on foreign oil.
We WILL get this done...
-Boone
P.S. Please share this email [post] with your friends and family...

Northern Iraq Remains Complex, General Says
The complexity of the situation in northern Iraq means that more U.S. troops will remain in the region than elsewhere in the country after the March 7 elections, the commander of U.S. forces in the region said today.
Army Maj. Gen. Anthony Cucolo, commander of U.S. Division North, said he expects more U.S. troops will be needed in Iraq's seven Northern Provinces than elsewhere in the country.
Cucolo commands the 21,000-member division that covers the area from the Baghdad suburbs to Iraq's borders with Syria, Turkey and Iran. He spoke via teleconference with Pentagon reporters from his headquarters near Tikrit.
American forces do nothing without partnering with Iraqi security forces, the general said. "That means all types of operations, from combat when necessary to stability operations -- the full spectrum, partnered," he said. "We don't do anything unilaterally. It's all with our Iraqi partners, in probably the most demographically complex battle space in Iraq."
The area contains the "fault line" between Kurds and Arabs. The oil-rich province and city of Kirkuk remain possible flashpoints, Cucolo said, but he added that leaders on both sides of the divide pause whenever an incident takes place.
Overall, he said, the mission of U.S. forces in the region is to support provincial reconstruction teams, to move toward police primacy in the cities, and to establish capacity in Iraqi forces so they can assume U.S. battle space as American forces withdraw.
U.S. focus has been on "tamping down" violent extremist networks such as al-Qaida in Iraq, the general said. "They still exist," he told reporters. "They've been knocked back pretty hard lately, but still, because they're cellular in nature, still can pack a punch with a high-profile attack."
Mosul – Iraq's third-largest city – remains a problem. Mosul is a microcosm of Iraq, with all the ethnic and sectarian groups present in the nation. "We do not have ... Iraqi police primacy in Mosul yet, because the Iraqi police strength is not sufficient," Cucolo said. Iraqi soldiers maintain peace in the city.
Al-Qaida in Iraq is trying to stay relevant in Mosul, the general said, but Iraqi and U.S. forces have "knocked back" the group's access to weapons, explosives and financing.
"We know this because the ... elements are now resorting to extortion and kidnapping to get their funds," he said. "We know this because the IEDs they're using are much smaller than we've seen in the past. They're trying to rustle up what they can."
Everything is colored by the upcoming elections, Cucolo said. American troops essentially will stand by and be available if the Iraqis encounter something they cannot handle, he said, but he added that he does not expect them to be needed.
Iraqis have a positive attitude, the general said. "Since I've been here, I've been impressed by many things," he said. "I've been impressed by the quality of the Iraqi security forces, particularly the Iraqi army, ... but I'm very impressed with the desire for unity." He said he could see the Kurdish security force in northern Iraq merging with the Iraqi military.
Cucolo said his concerns are the Kurd-Arab tension, any desire to interrupt the seating of the government, and the ability of the Iraqi security forces to assume the battle space.
"Right now, I have Iraqi units that are capable of independent operations at low level – at brigade and below," he said. "Some Iraqi divisions are capable of independent operations, but the institution that gets them spare parts, that gets them bullets, that gets them the things they need to sustain routine operations -- that is still growing. All the right folks are working on it. It's happening. It's just not there yet."

Cobra Gold 2010, Worlds Largest Multinational Military Exercise Begins February 1st
Six Nations Gear Up for Cobra Gold 2010
Cobra Gold, the largest multinational military exercise in the world, begins its 29th year of joint training and cooperation among six countries in the Asia-Pacific Theater in Thailand on February 1st.
Cobra Gold 2010 marks the first time South Korea will participate in the exercise.
"Thailand is one of our closest friends and partners in Asia, as well as being our oldest ally in Asia," said Lt. Gen. Benjamin R. Mixon, commander, U.S. Army Pacific. "The Cobra Gold exercise is the largest multilateral joint military exercise in the world."
Sponsored by U.S. Pacific Command and the Royal Thai Supreme Command, the three-week exercise includes a command-post exercise, a series of medical and engineering civic-action projects and joint and combined field training. The exercise continues to serve as a venue to build interoperability between the United States and its Asia-Pacific regional partners.
The command-post exercise focuses on training a Thai, U.S., Singaporean, Indonesian, and South Korean coalition task force. The exercise also includes Japan participating within a United Nations Force staff. A team composed of representatives from Brunei, Chile, China, Germany, Laos, Mongolia, New Zealand, South Africa, Sri Lanka and Vietnam will observe the command-post exercise at the invitation of the Thai government.
Among Cobra Gold 2010's objectives is Pacom's rapid deployment of a joint task force and subsequent coordination with U.N. forces, with the aim of improving Pacom's ability to conduct multinational operations and increase interoperability with partner nations, officials said.
In addition, officials noted, the military-to-military relationships developed during Cobra Gold exercises underscore a combined capability to face myriad issues in the Asia-Pacific theater, including terrorism, transnational threats, and humanitarian-assistance and disaster-relief efforts.

Republicans Just Might Win Massachusetts Senate Seat
Republican Candidate has Strong Chance of Defeating Democratic Opponent in Race for Ted Kennedy's Seat in Senate
Here's an interesting read I found today at NewsMax.com and it starts off like this... With the election only nine days away in what Politico is calling a possible "Massachusetts miracle," the Republican candidate now has a strong chance of defeating his Democratic opponent in the race for Ted Kennedy's seat in the Senate... A poll by Public Policy Polling (PPP), a Democratic survey firm, shows Republican Scott Brown has overtaken Democrat Martha Coakley, and holds a 48 percent to 47 percent lead as the Jan. 19 special election approaches... State Sen. Brown leads 63-to-31 percent among independents, and is winning 17 percent of the Democratic vote, while Attorney General Coakley receives only 6 percent support from Republican voters, according to the poll completed on Jan. 9... The survey also found that 66 percent of Republicans are "very excited" about turning out to vote, while only 48 percent of Democrats feel that way...

IAF Hits Terrorist Targets in Gaza Strip - Kerem Shalom Crossing Closed
On Thursday night (January 7, 2010), the Israel Air Force targeted and identified hitting four targets in the Gaza Strip in a joint operation with the Israel Security Agency. The operation was carried out in response to the barrage of mortar shells and the Kassam rocket fired into Israel earlier during the day. One terror tunnel in the central Gaza Strip, two weaponry smuggling tunnels in the Rafah border area and one weaponry manufacturing facility in Gaza city were among the targets.
The terror tunnel was intended to be used for infiltration into Israeli territory in order to execute a terrorist attack against Israeli civilians or IDF soldiers. The tunnel was dug approximately one kilometer from the Israeli border.
.Kerem Shalom border crossing closed after mortar fire
The border crossing used for cargo transfer in Kerem Shalom has been closed today due to the firing of mortar shells. According to an announcement issued by the Ministry of Defense, the crossing will be closed indefinitely until further notification.
On Thursday (January 7th) Israel Army Radio reported that Palestinians fired nine mortar shells from the Gaza Strip to Israel, four of which were fired with the same rocket launcher, at approximately 7:30 am, followed by two additional mortar shots.
All of the shells were fired in the direction of Kerem Shalom, and detonated in open land near residential areas of the border crossing next to the town. In each incident no one was wounded and no damage was caused.
In the afternoon three more mortar shells were fired, hitting open land west of the Negev desert. No one was wounded.

Some Engels, 2013, HD-video, still
Utopia ́s potential in times of permanent crisis
Sven Johne's works playfully act on the accustomed manner of representation and readablity. By combining takings of spheric simplicity with sober and reportlike narratives he implements ficitonal elements in his works, taking their mea- ning beyond the purely documentary. Hereby he generates space for associations that are quintessential in fulfilling his aim: creating metaphors of being and conceiving alternative myths in times when global change and its impacts are penetrating the life of every individual.
The artist knows how to display language and image in an interacting way. His recent video work Some Engels bears witness to this complex correlation. The format might seem familiar to any ordinary television viewer: we are watching a casting situation where six German actors attempt to mime the sorrow-stricken Friedrich Engels, who is giving the eulogy for his friend karl marx. However, the speech turns out rather impersonal and appears to address the posterity, calling for defiance. Yet, even these words reflect Engels ́ doubts on the coerciveness of a world revolution.
The original funeral oratory was held in English and dates back to 1883. Reciting it in leased premises located in the touristic and shopping area of west Berlin, the actors manage to reveal the various facets of the speech: farewell to a friend, mourning for the father of economics, legitimation attempt, militant legacy. But the modern setting does not lend credency to the eulogy, rather to the contrary. while every actor, in the hope of satisfying the american casting director, endures the ridicule of trying on Engels-beard, most performances fail due to the English language. as relevant and actual the content of the funeral oratory might be in our times of socio-economical transformations, the spectator cannot otherwise but smirking about the inherent comic.
The discrepancy between facts and their conveyance is a pivotal aspect of Johne ́s work, and it manifests itself also in the 37 pieces of his Griechenland-Zyklus/Greek cycle. The sequence of pictures shows the star-spattered sky over such places as Delphi, the olymp and Santorini. The artist took them during his visit of this country that appears to many as the scapegoat of the Euro-crisis. The comments below resemble excerpts of a travelogue. or are they re- ports from locals? as so often in Johne ́s oeuvre, the fictional element comes into effect and the boundaries between individual case and society in total, document and prediction become blurred.
Neither the casting director, nor the traveller find an answer to their challenges. But the beholder still emerges as winner, that is if he invests time to track the traces between text and image that have been laid out by the artist. Even more: the associations with similar media material that arouse in the process of reading turn him into a fixture of Johne ́s central subject, which is the perspectivity of history and the historical narrative.

2 Who was Osho and what was his message?
Osho (1931-90) also known as Bhagwan Ragneesh, was an Indian meditation leader who founded a 40 acre campus international meditation resort in Pune, India, from 1974-present, and a new town called Ragneeshpuram for 5,000 in the desert in Oregon, USA from 1981-85.
His main message concerning health was that disease is a falling apart of body and mind, and to heal and become whole you have to go beyond both, in meditation. Therapy should not be seen as an end in itself, but a means to open up the patient/client to meditate. Therapists who meditate will be more effective healers. He pointed out that the words medicine, medication and meditation all come from the same latin root, medici to heal. Medicine and medication are used to heal the body, and meditation is to heal the soul.
He created dozens of one-hour meditations to be done to CDs, of which the best known are dynamic (to be done first thing in the morning), kundalini (to be done in the evening) nadabrahma (humming) nataraj (dancing) no-dimensions.
He also created dozens of group meditation therapies to be done over many days in residential centres of which the best known are 'Who is in?' (4-7 days) 'Mystic Rose' (3 weeks) Each day of a group is prefaced by dynamic and rounded off with kundalini and evening meditation with video. His work inspired others to create other group therapies such as five rhythms, the journey, rebirthing etc, but he is not credited because he was controversial.
He gave public discourses, which were recorded on audio tape and video totalling some 7,000 hours, transcribed into books with over 600 titles in English and translated into many languages. He is said to be the author with the greatest number of titles. (perhaps because he spoke spontaneously and never wrote anything down) The publishing rights to produce new compilations on topics such as 'intimacy' 'maturity', 'creativity' are keenly sought by international publishing houses.
3 How do Osho meditations work?
Dynamic meditation lasts an hour, and comprises half an hour of anti-meditation and half an hour of meditation. The anti-meditation is 10 minutes of deep fast chaotic breathing (hyperventilation to oxygenate the cells to release their memories), 10 minutes of 'acting out' catharsis (beating cushions, shouting, swearing, crying) and 10 minutes of shouting a mantra 'hoo' while jumping up and down to exhaustion with arms raised. The meditation starts with a sudden stop, freeze and 15 minutes silence, watching whatever comes up, and ends with 15 minutes music allowing the body to move in a free dance of celebration. The hour takes you through the emotional release cycle used in trauma therapy of sympathetic nervous system arousal and parasymathetic de-arousal. This is reason for dynamic's efficacy, as we are all traumatised to some extent.
4 What is the outcome for me?
I am now 71 and have been doing dynamic regularly (about 3 times per week) for about 5 years. I have been leading it in a drop-in basis at Planet Janet (opposite Hove town hall) for about 4 years. I have also done the following Osho meditation groups, totalling about 100 days: Who is in, Mystic Rose, Co-dependency recreating trust, Work as meditation, Changing the way we live our lives, Die before you die, Essence, Family constellation.
The emotional release in the catharsis phase of dynamic is like a spring clean, allowing fresh energy to come in, improving my memory and all sensory perceptions. My attitude to life has changed from feeling that I was a victim to feeling that I am a beneficiary. I am less judgemental of others, and more understanding and compassionate. I am more aware of what is going on both inside myself, and in others, so I am a better listener. My wife (who discovered Osho 30 years ago, has been 13 times to the ashram in Pune, and pointed the way for me) says that I am easier to live with.
5 What is the outcome for others?
'There is nothing flaky about Osho meditations for Stockholm bus drivers' says Hans Schneidner 'because their accident rate has halved over the 2 year period that they have been offered, at a cost to the company of $40,000 pa'.
'Osho meditation helps prevent heart disease' says the vice president of a leading Oslo bank, on his way to 'his most important meeting of the day' – the Osho meditation.
The chief cardiologist of a New York hospital was quoted as saying that it was almost medical malpractice not to offer meditation to his patients.
Ex-Health Secretary Patricia Hewitt announced this intention in a speech to a mental health conference last May by telling doctors to offer talking therapies instead. According to Simon Scott, commissioner for mental health for Brighton and Hove Primary Care Trust (PCT), the waiting list for talking therapies is over a year. There are 14,000 people affected locally, and 6 million nationally.
How can such a large number be helped to withdraw from anti-depressants and get well again? Dynamic and other Osho's active meditations are not difficult to lead as they are based on CDs. They could be offered to groups of patients under the NHS by say yoga teachers after a short training, in yoga centres contracted to the PCT as Alternative Providers of Medical Services and paid for under Practice Based Commissioning.
7 Doesn't catharsis reinforce disfunctional behaviour?
Unstructured cartharsis (as in domestic violence) does, because you practice disfunctional behaviour of which you are not aware. However, structured catharsis as in.the first half hour of dynamic doesn't, because being allowed to cathart encourages you to watch and become aware of what you are doing, to permanent benefit.
8 Can the swamp of the mind be drained?
My experience has been that structured catharsis seems to partially drain it, and neutralise the power in what is left. I used to be upset by horrific scenes in news, films etc, but now I can watch without identifying my feelings with their feelings, as from a distance.
9 Is Osho active meditation contra-indicated for some conditions?
I, and other group leaders in other Osho centres have been offering them on a drop in basis for up to 30 years without any screening. I have never experienced or heard of anyone complaining of suffering harm. The leader merely invites participants to follow the instructions. The extent to which they do is up to them. It is made clear beforehand that no judgement will be made as to whether they did it right or not.
10 What is the evidence base for catharsis and meditation as therapy?

The Miami Dolphin that complained of "bullying" "looks" weak in mind. Have we become so sensitive? Have we lost our compass in life? I feel we are heading towards a society were we will be afraid to speak to look at anyone for fear of reprisal and offending. A Society where we walk along and never learn the agony of defeat or the joy of victory. Our Enthusiasm and drive sapped by society's inability to understand that there are winders and losers, not everyone is equal and not everyone deserves what you have. Our schools and politicians are making us all weak socially and emotionally and by taking GOD out of our lives, we have no where to turn for salvation. A study done showing the rise in mental health issues in young people – a topic for another post.
Interesting that we "hear" a lot about teen suicides – is it on the rise? Is not FACEBOOK and TWITTER to blame for these? Since they have been linked to depression? Since Suicides are, so we hear, because they were FACEBOOKED and TWITTERED? Since the Miami Dolphin saw a TWITTER post berating him?

Russian military orders village evacuation, then cancels it
Published Tue Aug 13 2019 18:21:41 GMT+0000 (UTC)
by By VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV
MOSCOW (AP) — The Russian military on Tuesday told residents of a village near a navy testing range to evacuate, but cancelled the order hours later, adding to the uncertainty and confusion fueled by a missile explosion last week that led to a brief spike in radiation that frightened residents and raised new questions about the military's weapons program.
Initially the military told residents of Nyonoksa, a village of about 500, to move out temporarily, citing unspecified activities at the range. But a few hours later, it said the planned activities were cancelled and rescinded the request to leave, said Ksenia Yudina, a spokeswoman for the Severodvinsk regional administration.
Local media in Severodvinsk said Nyonoksa residents regularly receive similar temporary evacuation orders usually timed to tests at the range.
The Defense Ministry initially said Thursday's explosion of a rocket engine at the navy range killed two people and injured six others, but the state-controlled Rosatom nuclear corporation said two days later that the blast also killed five of its nuclear engineers and injured three others. It's still not clear what the final toll is.
And just as the Severodvinsk administration reported a brief spike in radiation levels, the Defense Ministry insisted that no radiation had been released — a blunt denial reminiscent of Soviet-era attempts to cover up disasters that added to public nervousness.
"It's shocking when people who live there, let alone us, have no idea what really happened," Svetlana Alexievich, a Nobel Prize-winning author who wrote a book containing first-hand accounts of the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster, said on Ekho Moskvy radio. "It looks like we haven't learned the lessons of Chernobyl and Fukushima."
When reactor No. 4 at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Soviet Ukraine exploded and burned on April 26, 1986, Soviet leaders initially tried to hide the disaster from the public and it took them days to acknowledge the full scale of the world's worst nuclear accident.
After Thursday's missile explosion, the Severodvinsk city administration said the radiation level rose to 2 microsieverts per hour for about 30 minutes before returning to the area's natural level of 0.1 microsieverts per hour. Emergency officials issued a warning to all workers to stay indoors and close the windows. Spooked residents rushed to buy iodide, which can help limit the damage from exposure to radiation.
Yudina said that radiation levels in Severodvinsk, a city of 183,000 about 30 kilometers (20 miles) east of Nyonoksa, have been normal since Thursday.
Local emergency officials also announced after taking ground samples from around the area that they have found no trace of radioactive contamination.
After Thursday's explosion, Russian authorities also closed part of Dvina Bay on the White Sea to shipping for a month, in what could be an attempt to prevent outsiders from witnessing an operation to recover the missile debris.
"The military's desire to keep a tight lid on information about armed forces ... has led to vitally important information being hidden from the public in a critical situation," independent military analyst Alexander Golts said in a commentary.
Neither the Defense Ministry nor Rosatom named the type of rocket that exploded during the test, saying only that it had liquid propellant.
But Rosatom's statement saying that the explosion occurred during tests of a "nuclear isotope power source" led observers to conclude it was the Burevestnik (Petrel), a nuclear-powered cruise missile code-named Skyfall by NATO that was first revealed by Russian President Vladimir Putin in March 2018 along with other doomsday weapons.
President Donald Trump backed that theory Monday, tweeting, "The United States is learning much from the failed missile explosion in Russia. We have similar, though more advanced, technology. The Russian 'Skyfall' explosion has people worried about the air around the facility, and far beyond. Not good!"

Buft is a gorgeous nubuck, tanned in one of the oldest and most technologically advanced tanneries in Europe. It is a fully drum dyed aniline leather with a pebbled appearance on the surface. The color is done in the drum and no pigment is applied to the surface, thus leaving an amazingly soft hand. The hide surface is then snuffed to give the appearance of a suede before being treated with a protective finish.


This product is known as a school carrier, because these bags are often used by children to transport homework and books around. However, they are great for carrying, storing and protecting all sorts of documents and items. For example, they make wonderful delegate folders at conferences or events.
The yellow closure is easy to seal – just press the tops of the carrier together. If you wish to label each carrier, use the write on panel in the top right corner. At 500 gauge, these carriers are very tough – you don't have to worry about them breaking or puncturing easily.

I'm Anton Saijin from Gipsymeet.com. We give Pattronize the very best rating due to the impressive work they have done for us. They have created our social media platform from very scratch. They always have met all objectives on time and delivered top quality. Always give a very prompt response which we were really happy about. They went also beyond our expectations with their excellent services. And we definitely continue to use Pattronize services in the future and we truely, highly recommend Pattronize.
When I wanted to combine 2 existing web sites I approached a couple of companies and both quoted me long lead times so parked the project. I then was put in touch with the guys at Pattronize by one of my own clients. Faizal quickly understood the scope of the work and was able to quote me for it overnight. Once I agreed to this they executed the changes very quickly – less than 5 days, and then switch the site at a convenient time to my business. Based on this experience I now have Selvan working on the SEO for my site – midlandscabling.co.uk – and looking forward to the results.
I have used Pattronize for most of 2015. Selvan and his team have been very helpful in working with us to get our website developed and running.

I give Pattronize a five star rating. Very professional, very quick to get back and their response time was excellent.

It was also obvious from the start of the project they had a wealth of experience developing complex, graphically rich websites. As well as this, Pattronize accommodated a variety of changes we made to the design through-out the development process. This included additional pages, forms and newsletter functionality. They also regularly uploaded drafts of the website to their servers so that we could test the functionality and provide them with feedback on the progress. This significantly increased the speed of the design process and avoided any abortive work. Along with this, Pattronize effortlessly optimised the website to work on a variety of devices. This included IOS, Windows and Android tablet devices. Finally, Pattronize provided us with a very competitive price for the development of the site.

We contacted Selvan for the first time through the internet. At first, we were bit skeptical in doing business with someone that we never met personally before. Nonetheless, our experience with Selvan was very good since he understood what we wanted for our website. Working with him was smooth sailing and timely efficient.
Certainly in the future when needed we will do business with him again. More I recommend Selvan to anyone because of his professional attitude and honesty.

Q: Get double as a result of division of integer values If a person has low income (<= 25,000) and the consulting time is less than or equal to 30 minutes, there are no charges; otherwise, the service charges are 40% of the regular hourly rate for the time over 30 minutes.
For others, if the consulting time is less than or equal to 20 minutes, there are no service charges; otherwise, service charges are 70% of the regular hourly rate for the time over 20 minutes.
(For example, suppose that a person has low income and spent 1 hour and 15 minutes, and the hourly rate is $70.00. Then the billing amount is 70.00 * 0.40 * (45 / 60) = $21.00.)
Write a program in C++ that prompts the user to enter the hourly rate, the total consulting time, and whether the person has low income. The program should output the billing amount.
This is what I have done so far and the program looks correct to me, but for some reason I do not get the correct output. I get 0.00 which is a wrong output value.
#include<iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;

double calculateBill(int income, int consultingMinutes, double hourlyRate);

int main()
{
    int income;
    double consultingMinutes;
    double hourlyRate;

    cout << "Please enter the clients income: $" ;
    cin >> income;

    cout << "Please enter the consulting time in minutes: ";
    cin >> consultingMinutes;

    cout << "Please enter the hourly rate: $";
    cin >> hourlyRate; cout << fixed << showpoint << setprecision(2);

    cout << "Your total bill ammount comes to: $" << calculateBill(income, consultingMinutes, hourlyRate) << endl;

    return 0;
}

double calculateBill(int income, int consultingMinutes, double hourlyRate)
{
    if (income <= 25000) {
        if (consultingMinutes <= 30)
            return 0;
    else
        return hourlyRate * 0.40 * ((consultingMinutes - 30) / 60);
    }
    else {
        if (consultingMinutes <= 20)
            return 0;
        else
            return hourlyRate * 0.70 * ((consultingMinutes - 20) / 60);
    }
}

A: Mixing of integers and floats is not a very good thing. Try this:
return hourlyRate * 0.40 * (((double) consultingMinutes - 30.0) / 60.0);

instead of this:
return hourlyRate * 0.40 * ((consultingMinutes - 30) / 60);

(And apply the same fix for the second wrong place return hourlyRate * 0.70 * ((consultingMinutes - 20) / 60);)
