Indeed, we commit a lesser amount time on the DAS targeted up autos in comparison to these along with the regular plan, but we unsuccessful in finding out that it is as terrible given that conduct when our highest insurance plan insurance a serious when before. The 2020 Infiniti Q50 Red Sports Specs acquired a little bit of exterior and interior improvements for 2020, with changes towards grille, front area lighting, and taillights.
You can now find new 18 and 19 in wheel kinds, together with the higher analysed wheels bound to Sport and hybrid products. The Q50's new shift paddles remain connected to the configurations instead of the directing series, and then there is entirely new sewing in regards to the dash panel, presumably planned to offer the Q50 a premium actually feel. The Q50's powertrains and other gear are unaffected this coming year. In other statistics, natural Sports grips extremely appropriately, mainly with all the approach "Dynamic Digital" dampers in Sport or Sports events trend.

Nearly all automobiles and pickups and cars in this particular class are immediately equalled for determining, even though Q50 alongside the Kia Stinger grab the long component. This may not have the Q50 any tighter to the motor vehicle location or shuttle regarding a tiny community, but we wish any additional measuring modified into considerably more freight location or even a roomier back work desk couch.

The Q50 can be found with individually excellent characteristics, maybe a possible modifiable directing series and holding options for any driver's office chair, but other positive aspects are lacking around the alternatives checklist. Cooled recliners, by way of example, have started totally definitely favourite even so they are indeed not for sale in almost any Q50, and also, so vitality handled entrance side portion seats is standard, the most active woman or man seating will not be given by lumbar assist and assist.
To determine a vehicle's interior quietness, we begin to employ a sound evaluate to possess two capabilities within the duration inside of the driver's ears with a journey at 70 mph. We have been prevalent the very last final result. As identified from the appearance under, decibels without a doubt really are a logarithmic system, so a rating of 60 decibels is definitely not 1.5 functions the complete strengthen pressure of 40 decibels; it undeniably is 10 instances the sound energy. To properly take into account office seating level the place out of the course into the driver's well-liked we take advantage of an H Position Product (HPM), a just developed model provided by SAE Around the world.

The Q50's H problem might be more significant than is standard to achieve this setup, but many of us will not basically possibly have discovered out without the need for the aid of our figuring out equipment.
The Q50 has around three readily available engines, all that is supplied using the back determine, or all-time attract. We currently merely have tried utilising the midrange engine, which happens to be undoubtedly amongst the Q50's most extraordinary capabilities. The Q50's standard engine is indeed a 208 hp turbocharged inline some, just as the lower portion deals in some of the Q50's significant competitors. A 300 hp two turbocharged V6 comes making use of, through a 360 hp hybrid rounding right out of the present day technological innovation alternatives. Every single engine is combined with a 7 quantity internet transmission, and paddle shifters are optionally out there with the V6.
The twin-turbo V6 is quickly and obtained 60 mph straight from a reputation direct begin in 5. secs during our testing. Changes are comfortable they may be tough to uncover, irrespective should your driver has given its label them up when using the oversees placed paddle shifters. You can find basically no turbo last the wait around that at times comes about amid every time you success the propane gas petrol as soon as sturdiness winds up available in turbocharged engines. Much better, the 3.8 pursuing 50 to 70 miles per hour time shows the considerable transferring before capacity which might be linked to one of the selections of V6 Q50's most excellent class solutions.
Any Q50 might be upgraded to feature all-wheel travel for $2000, but we'd abide by back determine tire make and spend our money the $2650 Substantial supply whenever possible, which features a split collapsible spine summary seats, foods checklist expert solutions, warmed up entry seating, in conjunction with vitality management. That approach brings the whole level of our Q50 to $42,595. This motor vehicle will likely get back in 2020.

Directed by VIK and scripted by Arnaab Bhaumik,the film tries to show how the all-pervading spirit of Nature is infused in our busy lives through a very well-planned urban settlement.

Reaching around 2 – 3m in height with a similar spread this a shade loving plant in Australian conditions. Flowers are insignificant however they are followed by attractive red berries.
A very useful landscaping plant for shaded positions. With strongly marked foliage Aucuba japonica 'Picturata' is a bolder addition to the garden, a little more striking than the common form.
Also excellent in a container in a shaded position, where the striking foliage adds a lift to dark areas.
A humus rich deep soil is best. Water in new plants with a liquid seaweed fertiliser to promote good root growth. Watering during long dry spells will be required although in a good shaded position you will find that little extra water is required once established.
Aucuba japonica 'Picturata' can be pruned after the danger of frost is over. Older plants can be pruned back fairly hard if required.

Oils Of Life Intensely Revitalizing Facial Oil is rated 4.8 out of 5 by 52.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lata from Amazing Facial oil The body shop oils of life Intensely Revitalizing Facial Oil "I purchased this from the bodyshop store . I was going to buy the 30ml. "the oil just gets absorbed into the skin without making it greesy and its very lightweight. . 1 or 2 drops once in the morning and once in the evening would be enough.

I started using this product just before last month, and saw a big change in my skin. my skin would be amazing by the end of the month! . I have and would definitely purchase again."
Rated 5 out of 5 by Elysion Daimon from Indeed "oils of Life" Brings life to face. I have combination skin prone to sensitivity and blemishes, so you can imagine that a facial oil was a terrifying concept to me. I'm so glad I took the plunge - keeping my skin hydrated stops it from overproducing oil, so my skin actually feels more balanced. It's rich in antioxidants and penetrates more deeply than a moisturiser, but it doesn't leave me with any kind of heavy feeling or greasiness. Just radiant, beautiful skin that's soft to the touch and visibly brighter. If you've been hesitating about this product, I'd encourage you to give it a try, or at least go in store so you can feel what a difference it makes to the skin.

Hi friends; let me tell you something about THE BODY SHOP OILS OF LIFE is one of the best revitalising oil as it is made with 3 precious seed oils and 7 essential oils which make my skin very soft and smoother and radiance too.

Rated 4 out of 5 by RJ01 from Really good product I love using this product. My skin feels really soft and hydrated. I have extremely oily and acne prone skin, but the oil suits my skin very well. My mother and my sister love to use it as well and our skin is glowing. It is quite expensive which was the only thing that held me back from buying it.

For my skin, it took a couple of days to get used to: in all honesty, I'd almost given up on this when I noticed some bumps on my face. But I held on, and my life changed forever. Actually, just my face, but OMG it was worth it! My skin is bouncier, brighter, and poreless to the untrained eye(I'm sure I still have pores, but my skin now looks like porcelain and feels like silk!) You want this. You need this. You might want to change your last name for this. It's that good.

Is Bangla falling out of the young tongues?
Shaikha Shuhada Panzeree | Published: 00:00, Aug 12,2018
The growing tendency among our youth to anglicise Bangla remained a contentious topic. From a youth perspective, Shaikha Shuhada Panzeree reflects on the issue.
Bangla is falling out of the young tongues. When it comes to the use of Bangla as our first language, especially among school going millennials and 90s generation, from daily communication purposes to official avenues, our stance seems to be a grey area. It is either deviated, or replaced, by the more convenient and 'smarter' option, English. As hopeless as it might sound, especially to the older generation, it might not be all that bad.
However, there remain concerns, of losing the taste of Bangla, losing a connection with its rich history, with its literature that goes hundreds of years back. What if our English speaking young generation loses its tie with its origin! Is it an indication of us Bangladeshis identifying ourselves as global citizens? It may be.
But where does Bangla stand among the young generation? The language we take so much pride in, the language that presets the birth of this country and defines the identity of its people, the Banglas, where is it placed by us really? About thirty years from now, at the middle of this century, will Bangla remain the same beloved-respected language as it was in the middle of the previous century? Or will it cease to exist among the newer generations?
There are a few defining forces. If we look at the general use of Bangla, especially among the urban youth, we see the use of a deviated spoken form of it, the words are meddled with, vowels and consonants are either dropped or added according to which is the current trend. This deviation is not any recognised dialect, the form of deviation changes rather rapidly too. The RJ-style of spoken language has a big deal to do with it. Back in the first days of 24-hour FM radio streaming, radio jockeys maintained a somewhat standard use of Bangla. However, with time, feeling the need of making radios more fun, or maybe programmes more catchy, there came a weird blend of Bangla and English. To be specific, Bangla spoken in an English tone. That is Anglicisation of Bangla in linguistic terms. This swooped the teenagers with an excitement as they tried to go with the trend and mimic the tone. Even though, at the beginning, it created a lot of nuisance for orthodox Bangla speaking people, and managed to receive sneers from people in general, over the time it has become more normalised. This happens when the youth are still speaking in Bangla, but as it seems, more and more people prefer English over Bangla these days.
Thus, going hand in hand with the Anglicisation of Bangla among the youth, there has been a nativisation of English, as in adapting the language as our own on a daily basis. Even though young urban generation speak both the languages, some prefer speaking in English altogether, whereas some are trying hard to maximise the use of English in their speech. The colonial hangover plays an undeniable part in this. English still dominates the corporate market, academics – the job sector in general. Rural youth, thus, believe having a good command of the second language will give them preferences getting a job. And the preconception of English being a sign of class and intellectual superiority prevails with a strong force. Urban parents put a lot of emphasis on their children learning English, some send their offspring to English medium schools just because the curriculum is taught in English without understanding the curriculum itself, some even encourage their children to speak in English at their homes and with friends from a very early age.
No one can blame the parents or teachers while the government itself puts an emphasis on the learning of English, for practical reasons of course. Knowing the global language does give us an upper hand in broadening our international communication and cooperation, it also offers a broader career choice and lifestyle choice. Higher education abroad is impossible without a good command over English, following the prospect, many of our reputed universities in the country also teaches a class in English.
Coming back to original concern, while this all looks good and prosperous for the future taking from a linguistic perspective of developing education and career, where does it leave Bangla, given that it is still, and obviously, the official language in our country?
Whereas the changes, often noticeable in spoken use, does not throw a threat at us, a more important concern lies in other uses of the language, say, reading and writing in it. Bangla falling out of the young tongue seems to be a lesser concern when it comes to reading and writing. A language is not only words and grammar, it is an entire history, a culture, and a lifestyle choice. Thus, our English speaking urban youth, very naturally, also adopts English literature, music, movies and other art forms. School going children, even a big portion of youth in their late twenties, have not read as many Bangla literature as they do in English. School children, especially following an English curriculum, find it extremely hard to read Bangla literature. They do not know the words and their application. Most horrifyingly, many of these students cannot read the joint letters, having no idea of which alphabet they are originally consisting of.
English speaking youth in their twenties have still some exposure to contemporary Bangla literature, thanks to Humayun Ahmed, however controversial his work is! But when it comes to classics of Bangla literature, the teen generation would go nowhere near it, young adults would prefer contemporary Bangla and English literature than to explore the old Bangla classics.
Preference in music has changed in the same course as that of literature. As it is the age of rock music, rather so, hard rock music, our youth would rather resort to those than Rabindra Sangeet, Nazrul Geeti or our folk songs. When it comes to Tagore songs, it apparently makes our young ones 'sleepy' from the slow tempo. Folks seem unfathomable to the young ones, more because of the changed lifestyle which has become more global than authentic Bangali, the philosophical strands of folk music is hardly translated to the high beat rock generation. There has been a significant gap between Bangla culture and the young generation, the choice of language and speech only indicates to the tip of the iceberg.
The same goes for writing, whether for official purposes, for personal communication or writing literature, a significant amount of youth's comfort language would be English rather than Bangla. Our social media profiles shall vouch for this claim. The newsfeed of a Bangladeshi's Facebook would have majority of the posts written in English, whether one has foreign acquaintances on their profiles or not.
The claims in this article are of course made from a personal, and conscious objective observation. However, I strongly believe the findings of a concrete research on the same would not be far from the ones I have talked about in here.
Are these changes necessarily bad for us? Probably not at all. Probably we do not have to cling hard on to Bangla, making space for English in a global context is as important as anything. However, what we need to focus on, is that, in the course of becoming a global citizen, in the course of socio-economically developing our country, let us not let down our roots. Because when we reach there, to the global platform, if we only succumb to what they have to offer, and not show what rich jewels we have in our sack, who are we to them, anyway?

You know you want to blog, and you've found your niche, one last step before you start your blog is coming up with a name. This will probably be the toughest decision regarding the making of your blog. It will need a lot of thought because you don't want to use something you'll regret later.
Your blog name will also be your website address (domain name). For this reason, changing the name of your blog later will confuse your audience, change search engine rankings and, generally, have a negative effect on your blog. If you were just starting out, it would not be a problem, but it's a difficult change to do once your blog starts to grow an audience.
That's how you know choosing the right name is a very important task. As you will see, this task requires answering a number of questions and being quite creative.
Here is the process you need to follow in order to find the perfect name for your blog.
1. What is the topic of your blog in a few words? Which other words describe your content? You will start making a list with those words, and you'll continue adding words as you go through this process.
2. What are some synonyms you can use of those words? Check an online thesaurus like www.thesaurus.com, and www.synonym.com. Add them to the list.
3. Time to get creative.
Combine words (ex. bookreviews), mix words around (ex. reviewsofbooks), and overlap words to make a new word (ex. breviews). You can use whole phrases (angelasbookreviews). You can use adjectives, verbs, adverbs, too (ex. angelasquickbookreviews). Put sound in it (ex. wowbookreviews). In some cases, you can add prefixes (on the front of the word) (ex. pre-, pro-, un-, non-) or suffixes (at the end of the word) (ex. -y, -ly, -ful, -less).
Use keywords connected to your topic if you want to be easily discovered when your topic is typed on search engines. Put the most important keywords at the beginning of the name. This is a Search Engine Optimization (SEO) technique to help your blog get discovered fast. Or you can forget about that and, instead, use a name that creates an image that is easy to be stored in a person's memory (ex. dancingbarefootintherain).
Have in mind that you can use letters, numbers and hyphens (-), but special characters (like @$%) are not allowed in a domain name. You can't start or end the domain name with a hyphen. No spaces are allowed. That's the rules. In addition, you should know that starting with "www." is not necessary.
It is preferable and beneficial that the name is not too long.
Use these name-generator sites for help and inspiration: www.leandomainsearch.com, wordoid.com, www.namestation.com, www.namemesh.com. You can play with your chosen words and see what is generated by the site. You will take numerous ideas from these sites.
While creating potential blog names, consider what the tone of your blog will be (serious, relaxed, funny) and choose your words accordingly.
Take your time to brainstorm a long list of ideas of names.
4. Start crossing off the list what you don't like and focus on what you like. Rethink and rewrite what you have until you are satisfied with it. This could take a few days, but don't over-think it; you're losing time off blogging!
Is it easy to remember? Is it catchy (memorable) and not too long? Can somebody search for it again and find it easily?
Is it easy to spell? So there are no mistakes when people type on a search engine to find your blog?
Is it easy to pronounce? So they can share it with others easily? For example, using hyphens in a website address makes it difficult to pronounce and should be avoided if possible.
Does it fit the tone or voice you decided for your blog? You don't want a funny blog name for a professional blog.
Does it give a hint of what it is about? This is important so that your target audience can discover it and get interested.
Is it future-proof? Will it still fit your blog if you outgrow/add to your initial topic?
Is it legal? You must not use copyrighted words, brand names, or trademarks. It's illegal to use them, especially if you are making a profit. (Ex. nutella - Nutella is a brand name).
And, of course, is it unique? You wouldn't want to use something that is very similar to an existing blog because it may cause you (legal) trouble and, honestly, it is not cool. On that point, it would be wise to avoid generic words that are already overused like, 'blog,' except when necessary to use (ex. if you are offering blogging advice).
If you can't come up with anything good, there is also the option to give your blog your own personal name (if privacy is not an issue). It's definitely the way to go if you decide to build a brand around yourself. For instance, it could be the way to go if you are an author, an artist, an event/conference speaker, and you want to build your personal brand with a purpose to make your name easily recognizable.
5. Check if the domain name is available to register and check social media username availability, too.
.com is the best choice when registering a domain. It's the most popular choice of domain endings on the web and automatically comes to everyone's mind when thinking of a website domain. Your country's domain extension is also a perfect choice if you want to have a local audience, or when .com is unavailable. Next in popularity are .org, .net and many other domain extensions.
namechk.com is an amazing site where you can check if a domain is available and, at the same time, check username availability across a great number of social media platforms. I highly recommend you check it out. Another site you can use for this is knowem.com.
When you finish going through the above steps, and you're happy with the name you have chosen, read my article on how to start a blog (with screenshots). You can learn how to set up your blog and have it running in no time through my easy articles here. Good luck!
Let me know in the comments below: How did you come up with your blog name? Did you come up with an idea immediately or did it take much thought?


On 23 July 2018 Nagaland Post reported: With an objective to make agriculture sustainable, restore ecological balance, improve soil quality and health, promote indigenous crops and put an end to chemical farming, a two-day State Level Training Program on Organic/Natural Farming began on Monday (23 July).

Daniel Frazer Bennett (Dewsbury, 22 augustus 1976) is een Zuid-Afrikaans voormalig voetbalscheidsrechter. Hij was in dienst van de FIFA en CAF tussen 2003 en 2017. Ook leidde hij tot 2019 wedstrijden in de Premier Soccer League.

Bennett floot zijn eerste intercontinentale wedstrijd op 8 december 2010, toen hij tijdens het WK voor clubs in 2010 een wedstrijd floot tussen Al-Wahda en Hekari United. Al-Wahda won het duel met 3-0 en Bennett trok tweemaal een gele kaart. Later in het toernooi leidde hij ook het duel tussen CF Pachuca en, opnieuw, Al-Wahda. Na strafschoppen verloor Al-Wahda deze maal. Bennett gaf drie gele prenten en stuurde één speler van het veld.

Bennett werd aangesteld als scheidsrechter op de toernooien van de Afrika Cup in 2010, 2012 en 2013. Bennett was tevens actief in het kwalificatietoernooi voor het Wereldkampioenschap voetbal 2014. In maart 2013 noemde de FIFA Bennett een van de vijftig potentiële scheidsrechters voor het wereldkampioenschap voetbal, maar hij werd uiteindelijk niet meegenomen.

Joint Task Force Civil Support anticipates, plans, and prepares for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Defense Support of Civil Authorities (CBRN-DSCA) response operations. When directed, JTF-CS deploys within 24 hours of notification to command and control DOD forces in support of civil authority response operations in order to save lives, prevent further injury, and provide temporary critical support to enable community recovery.
JTF-CS is the nations' only standing CBRN joint task force. It is comprised of active and reserve component service members from the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines. The headquarters also includes Department of the Air Force civilians and contract personnel.
Established in October 1999, JTF-CS is assigned to U.S. Northern Command and conducts CBRN response operations planning and preparedness to maximize mission readiness and capability. The commander of U.S. Army North has operational control of JTF-CS.
JTF-CS accomplishes response operations in strict adherence with the Constitution and public law. When directed on the authority of the President, through the Secretary of Defense, USNORTHCOM provides defense support of civil authorities when requested by local, state, tribal and federal officials.
In any domestic setting, JTF-CS always remains in support of civil authorities integrating the DOD response with other interagency capabilities to achieve unity of effort under the National Response Framework.
What is Joint Task Force Civil Support and what does it do?
Joint Task Force Civil Support (JTF-CS) is a standing joint task force and subordinate command of U.S. Army North (USARNORTH). It is charged with providing command and control of Department of Defense forces deployed to support a Primary Agency (PA) managing the consequences of a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or high-yield explosive (CBRN) incident in the United States and its territories and possessions. When directed, JTF-CS will deploy to an incident site, establish command and control of Department of Defense forces, and provide military assistance and support to civil authorities by saving lives, preventing further injury and providing temporary critical support to enable community recovery. Deployment of JTF-CS, at the direction of the Commander of U.S. Army North and U.S. Northern Command, and on the authority of the Secretary of Defense, would occur only after a Governor requests federal assistance from the President, and after the President issues a Presidential Disaster Declaration. JTF-CS was established in October 1999 and is located at Fort Eustis, Newport News, Va.
What is a Primary Agency?
Throughout a CBRN response operation, JTF-CS will remain in support of the PA, which is the civilian agency in charge of the federal response. Presidential Decision Directive 39 designated the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as the PA for managing the consequences of a CBRN situation.
As a partner in the Federal Response Framework, Department of Defense (DOD) has provided assistance and support to state and local authorities managing responses to natural disasters. However, the forces, equipment, and experience required to effectively respond to a CBRN incident are very different from those needed to respond to natural disasters. JTF-CS was established to develop the expertise and maintain the focus on the mission of providing command and control to domestic CBRN CBRN response missions.
Who are the members of JTF-CS? How are they trained and organized?
The organization is structured in accordance with Joint Publication 3-33. JTF-CS is a total force, comprised of active, reserve and Guard members from the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines to include civilians and contractors. JTF-CS members are experts in their respective specialty areas, well grounded in the capabilities of their respective services, and experienced in working with members of other services. Once assigned to JTF-CS, members receive additional training tailored to prepare them for executing CBRN consequence management missions. In a CBRN situation, several thousand military personnel could be drawn from all services and attached to JTF-CS by order of the Secretary of Defense. These personnel bring with them the capabilities needed to carry out approved requests for DOD support and assistance.
How does JTF-CS interact with civilian agencies?
Preparing for and conducting a domestic CBRN response mission requires JTF-CS to work closely with the many other federal, state and local agencies that also respond to CBRN incidents and accidents. These agencies include the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Department of Health and Human Services, and state emergency management agencies, to name just a few. DOD is only one member of the federal response community and recognizes the vital need for interagency coordination.
What is the legal basis for military support and assistance to civil authorities?
The primary mission authority allowing the Department of Defense (DOD) and JTF-CS to engage in domestic CBRN response operations is the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. §§ 5121 et seq). The Stafford Act authorizes the President to provide disaster and emergency assistance to state and local governments upon receipt of a request from a Governor. Deployment of JTF-CS, at the direction of the Commander of U.S. Northern Command, and on the authority of the Secretary of Defense, would occur only after a Governor requests federal assistance from the President and the President issues a Presidential Disaster Declaration.
What factors does DOD consider in responding to requests for civil support?
As discussed in DOD Directive 3025.1, specialized capabilities developed by the services can be applied to reducing the effects of a domestic CBRN situation when local, state and other federal resources are insufficient to meet the emergency needs.
Can the military act in a police role?
Federal law prohibits the use of federal active duty military personnel in direct law enforcement activities, such as arrest of suspected criminals, search for and seizure of evidence and investigation of criminal activities, unless specifically authorized by the Constitution or an act of Congress.
What area does JTF-CS cover?
The U.S. Northern Command Area of Operations (AOR) includes air, land and sea approaches and encompasses the continental United States, Alaska, Canada, Mexico, and the surrounding water out to approximately 500 nautical miles. It also includes the Gulf of Mexico, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The defense of Hawaii and our territories and possessions in the Pacific remain the responsibility of U.S. Pacific Command. JTF-CS responds to CBRN incidents in the United States, its territories and possessions. This includes Alaska, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. We would support of U.S. Pacific Command after incidents occur in Hawaii and U.S. territories and possessions in the Pacific. Currently JTF-CS does not have the mission of responding to CBRN incidents in Canada or Mexico.
What Consequence Management activities does JTF-CS engage in?
JTF-CS takes full advantage of DOD skills and structures. It mobilizes large numbers of people, moves large amounts of material and equipment, and provides logistical support. It can provide support in search and rescue—air and ground, mapping and modeling, transportation of critically injured or ill citizens, logistics, mortuary affairs, veterinarian services, communications, medical and public affairs.
Does JTF-CS respond to natural disasters?
Although primarily charged with a CBRN response mission, JTF-CS' could be directed to respond to a natural or manmade disaster if asked to do so by U.S Northern Command. Most recently, JTF-CS provided command and control support of two U.S. Army helicopters in support of FEMA response operations to Hurricane Irene in North Carolina.
How is JTF-CS preparing for future threats?
In coordination with other federal, state, and local agencies, JTF-CS is continuously preparing to respond to a broad spectrum of terrorist attacks – chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high-yield explosive – anywhere in the United States. We gain and maintain situational awareness in coordination with military commands and civilian agencies throughout the U.S. We study city response plans (not a Feasibility Study) so that we can clearly understand the local response capabilities. We study state response plans (not a Feasibility Study) to understand the state's ability to supplement an affected area. In this manner we identify capabilities the Department of Defense may be asked to provide and we plan our response accordingly. We develop detailed force requirements for a variety of likely CBRN response contingencies. These requirements include communications and transportation assets, as well as service support, engineers, medical, aviation and specialty units. To further unity of effort among the variety of agencies that may potentially be involved in providing support to a CBRN incident, JTF-CS directly coordinates with a wide array of federal, state, local, and military organizations to conduct training and planning.
What does JTF-CS see as the most likely type of threat?
The "most likely" threat varies from location to location and event to event. JTF-CS creates a number of response plans based on the most likely and the most hazardous types of threats, taking into consideration existing local and state response plans and resources.

Healthcare fraud alleged in Knox pill-mill case
An ongoing probe of what authorities say was East Tennessee's largest pill-mill operation has revealed a nearly $3 million Medicare kickback scheme involving two national drug-testing companies, court records show.
Healthcare fraud alleged in Knox pill-mill case An ongoing probe of what authorities say was East Tennessee's largest pill-mill operation has revealed a nearly $3 million Medicare kickback scheme involving two national drug-testing companies, court records show. Check out this story on knoxnews.com: http://knoxne.ws/2w6ZBV5
Jamie Satterfield, USA TODAY NETWORK - Tennessee Published 10:38 a.m. ET Aug. 15, 2017 | Updated 10:56 a.m. ET Aug. 15, 2017

A federal grand jury has served up a beefed-up indictment in the case of Sylvia Hofstetter, a 53-year-old grandmother accused in a pill-mill operation that put 12 million prescriptions for opiates into the hands of addicts and $22 million into the pockets of its overseers.
The latest indictment, filed in U.S. District Court, adds to the defense table two men accused of not only having ownership in the pain clinics Hofstetter allegedly managed but taking bribes and kickbacks from two national laboratories in a scheme to rip off Medicare and Tenncare, taxpayer-funded healthcare programs.
Kickback scheme revealed
Clyde Christopher Tipton and Maynard Alvarez are accused in the superseding indictment of accepting bribes and kickbacks from Confirmatrix, a Gwinnett County, Ga., drug-testing laboratory which shut down after the FBI raided it last year, and Sterling Laboratories in Seattle, Wash., for sending the labs business from the pill-mill operation.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Tracy Stone and Anne-Marie Svolto contend Tipton and Alvarez set up and used shell companies to hide the kickback scheme, claiming those firms provided "marketing" services for the two laboratories.
Instead, the prosecutors say in the indictment, Tipton and Alvarez were providing the labs with a steady flow of urine testing for which the labs could bill Medicare and Tenncare. It was a win-win for both the alleged pill mills and the labs: Hofstetter, Tipton and Alvarez could trick regulators into believing the clinics were actually screening patients for opiate addiction and the labs got to bill government-subsidized healthcare programs at rates far above the actual cost of that testing.
Confirmatrix filed for bankruptcy two days after a November raid by the FBI. It was founded by Khalid Satary, a Palestinian national who opened the lab after serving more than three years in federal prison for running a $50 million counterfeit CD operation.
The lab was one of the most expensive drug labs in the nation, charging an average of $2,406 per test, according to a 2015 study. The national average cost was $751.
Satary's lab first came under federal scrutiny in 2014 for funneling $80,000 into the campaign coffers of former U.S. Rep. Jack Kingston using the names of its executives and employees. Kingston was running for U.S. Senate at the time. He lost but has since become an adviser to President Donald Trump and a lobbyist for the Syrian opposition.

List of accused medical providers growing
The superseding indictment also adds another healthcare provider to the growing list of medical professionals charged with doling out millions of prescriptions in a cash-for-pills scheme at clinics in Lenoir City and Knoxville managed by Hofstetter and partially owned by Tipton and Alvarez.
Holli Womack, also known as Holli Carmichael, was a nurse practitioner. She now joins physician assistants Alan Pecorella and Theodore McCrary and nurse practitioners Courtney Newman and Cynthia Clemons as defendants in the pill-mill case. Richard Larson, a Dandridge doctor who was supposed to serve as the quartet's supervisor, also was indicted but has since died .
Hofstetter is accused, along with unindicted Florida benefactors, of setting up a network of primary care and pain management clinics in Lenoir City and Knoxville with the sole purpose of profiteering from addiction.
The FBI and other agencies in March 2015 raided three pain management clinics - one in Lenoir City and two in Knoxville - and at least two primary care clinics prosecutors contend were all linked. Stone and Svolto have alleged in court three men considered the kings of the South Florida pill-mill trade sent Hofstetter to East Tennessee to employ their playbook of creating cash-for-pills clinics that relied upon patients funneled from more legitimate primary care clinics and addicts whose trips were funded by so-called "sponsors" who took half their pills to sell on the streets.

The three men, identified in court records as Luca Sartini, Luiga Palma and Benjamin Rodriguez and labeled on wire tape recordings as "the Italians," have not been charged. But more than 100 people have been, ranging from sponsors to patients to street dealers and users.
Although the prosecutors have said in court they suspect at least nine patients in the Hofstetter case died from overdoses, the latest indictment directly accuses Hofstetter and Clemons of giving oxycodone to a patient, identified only with initials, on which that person fatally overdosed in February 2014.
If Stone and Svolto can prove that, the punishment for Hofstetter and Clemons in the overall conspiracy jumps to a minimum of 20 years and up to a life sentence. Without that allegation, the maximum sentence would have been 20 years.
Hofstetter is the only defendant in the case who has been ordered jailed pending trial, currently set for September, with prosecutors arguing she has no ties to Knoxville and no cause to stick around for trial.
Her attorney, Charles C. Burks Jr., will be asking U.S. Magistrate Judge Clifford Shirley Jr., at a hearing this week for another chance at arguing for her pretrial freedom. Stone has filed a motion in opposition.

Remember that Christ died for the wicked, as scripture says (romans 5:6) and not for the good. Consider it a much greater thing to suffer on behalf of evil people and to do good to sinners, than to do this for the righteous.
Even if you are not a peacemaker, at least do not be a troublemaker.
If you give something to someone in need, let a smile together with kind words and encouragement in their suffering, precede your giving.
Divine care surrounds all human beings all the time, but it is only seen by those who have purified themselves from sins and who have God in mind at every moment.
When one begins to perceive the love of God in all it's richness, he begins also to love his neighbor with spiritual perception. This is the love of which all the scriptures speak. Friendship after the flesh is very easily destroyed on some slight pretext, since it is not held firm by spiritual perception. But when a person is spiritually awakened, even if something irritates him, the bond of love is not dissolved; he rekindles himself with the warmth of the love of God, he quickly recovers himself and with great joy seeks his neighbor's love, even though he has been gravely wronged or insulted by him. For the sweetness of God completely consumes the bitterness of the quarrel.


Whoa. The last few weeks have been absolutely jam packed with music and fun. I have been so busy I haven't been able to send out an email newsletter and haven't had time to keep up with my digital world.
I played a show last night at Al's Den in the basement of the Crystal hotel in portland. Big thanks to Chistopher Worth for inviting me to perform. Make sure you look him up. Amazing singer and musician.
Right now I'm riding with Heru in his van full of Palo Santo (check out SacredWoodEssence.com) to What the Festival at White River Canyon, Oregon. I'll be playing on the late night stage called the Sound Cave.
Next week I will be riding with Rock the Bike from San Francisco to Laytonville for Gaia Festival. You can join the ride! You can get a discount to the festival if you ride with us! Check rockthebike.com.
The last few weeks I have been at so many amazing gatherings and festivals. This year i have played at lucidity, symbiosis, lightning in a bottle, raindance, movement play, priceless, high sierra, Oregon country fair, mystic garden gathering.
Coming up I will be at what the festival, Gaia festival, tribal vision gathering, burning man, new world festival, a southern California tour the third week of September and Eugene Oregon at the end of September. As my friend silent knight from nyc says, "Busy is my best friend."
Hopefully I can get a moment to add some photos and videos and recordings from all these festivals.
Be well! Shine your light bright!

Q: Does IMap.lock() require CP subsystem? The documentation says that the CP Subsystem is used for implementing distributed coordination use cases, such as leader election (Raft consensus algorithm), distributed locking, synchronization, and metadata management. By default, it operates in the "unsafe mode" and it even prints a warning to the console saying that strong consistency cannot be guaranteed.
On the other hand, it also says that when it comes to dealing with distributed data structures like IMap, the data will always be written and read from the primary replica by default.
So, if I have the CP Subsystem disabled and I use hazelcastInstance.getMap("accounts").lock("123"), would it be safe to assume no other cluster member will be able to do the same unless this one is released? Or do I have to actually configure the CP part just for this? I also use only a single replica without any backups if that makes any difference.
I think that it should be fine since all members will have to go to the same place for the lock. And also, it seems to me that the "distributed locking" part in the CP Subsystem actually means its own FencedLock that is accessible via hazelcastInstance.getCPSubsystem().getLock("myLock") and so the lock on the map is different.

A: Here is an answer that explains your question
Hazelcast 3.12 IMap.lock() on Map better than ILock.lock() which is deprecated?
IMap.lock(key) creates a lock object for that key on the same partition while other keys are still available. So it does not use CP Subsystem

Students: Don't Blow it.
budget cuts, cal riot, California, student protests
As a member of the late Repair California campaign, I was recently invited to participate in a panel discussion on the state of government reform efforts, put on by the University of California Students Association. The panel was part of their annual summit, held in Sacramento, and was designed partly as a strategy session for the upcoming "March Forth" protests. The event plans to be huge: Universities from around the world are reportedly taking part, as students everywhere highlight the social, economic, and cultural value of higher education.
I gladly accepted the invitation, and delivered this message: This is your moment. Don't blow it. For the record, "blowing it" looks like what happened in Berkeley last Thursday: a riot.
In what the local media referred to as a "warm-up" protest, several dozen young people were filmed destroying downtown Berkeley. The Daily Cal featured amateur video of young people tipping trash cans, lighting them aflame, insulting police officers, smashing windows, and chanting something about the littered streets being "their streets". With their faces sheathed behind bandannas, it wasn't entirely clear if the crowd was protesting Sacramento or holding-up the railroad.
It took a little bit of diving into the reports to find that most of the people involved weren't students, just typical street kids taking a break from their usual activities of asking me for money and not bathing.
That the rioters weren't students should matter. It doesn't. Student leaders were mute in their disapproval of the pointlessness, assuming they disapproved at all. The result was the disconcertingly powerful way in which conservatives wed their narrative to the news reports pouring in from a conflict-seeking media: somebody else's ungrateful spoiled-brat kids are running amok in a beautiful city and wasting your hard-earned money.
Make no mistake, this is a bad development for the students and the universities. Students have been shouldering a disproportionate share of California's great budgetary burden, and thus have legitimate, no, very legitimate, grievances. In response, many students have worked hard to build an opposition movement. With the national attention span measurable only in iotas, students cannot afford to surrender a single headline to packs of street kids who care little, and understand even less, about California's perilous financial system and the network of world-class colleges and universities that depend on it.
One gets the troubling sensation that students were loath to forcefully condemn the riots out of deference to the Bay Area's tradition of civil activism. This is the sort of thing Berkeley does. If so, this is an unspeakably pitiful development. A mob that masks the sound of breaking glass and smoldering refuse with here-and-there chants plagiarized from the civil rights movement is still a mob. And while such incantations may be enough to placate professors, students, and liberal pundits, I'd be surprised if the shopkeeper or the taxpayer are as impressed. Shame on those who turn their cheeks while the reputation of a worthy and important movement is dragged through the mud by hooligans, left-wing or not.
Instead of anger, chaos, and anarchy, instead of hanging effigies of the Governor, the students should make it their singular mission to rekindle the hope and confidence that was once called the California dream, and to make themselves that dream's indispensable component. Students, almost by definition, stand for youth, energy, and idealism: ingredients for inspiration that are perennially ripe. So here's an idea. Drape yourselves in California flags and, by the tens of thousands, and walk peacefully up streets singing the Beach Boys. Doing so will impress not just your cosmopolitan university neighbors, but your redneck uncle too.

On December 22nd, California Attorney General Jerry Brown's office released the Title and Summary of the two Constitutional Convention ballot measures.
ALLOWS VOTERS TO PLACE QUESTION OF CALLING A CONSTITUTIONAL
CONVENTION ON THE BALLOT. INITIATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.
Amends the Constitution to permit voters to place on the ballot the question of whether to call a convention to revise the state Constitution. Permits any ballot measure calling a convention to specify the parts of the Constitution that the convention can or cannot revise. Requires any ballot measure calling a convention to specify the process for selection of convention delegates. Repeals requirement that convention delegates be elected by voters. Permits voters to call a convention no more than once every ten years. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local government: No direct fiscal impact, as any effect would depend on whether and how voters used the power to call and accept the recommendations of a constitutional convention in the future. Potentially major fiscal changes in state and local governments could result.
CALLS A LIMITED CONVENTION TO PROPOSE CHANGES TO STATE
CONSTITUTION. INITIATIVE STATUTE.
Calls convention to propose changes to state Constitution related to government, state spending and budgeting, elections and lobbying. Provides that proposed changes to constitution or laws become effective only after approved by voters in statewide election. Forbids changes to taxes or fees, marriage, abortion, gambling, affirmative action, freedom of the press or religion, immigration rights, and the death penalty. Establishes rules for selecting convention delegates to reflect a diverse range of citizens. Requires selection of delegates and conduct of convention to be open and public. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local government: One-time increase of state government spending up to $95 million to administer a constitutional convention. Potentially major changes in state and local governments if voters approve the convention's recommendations, including higher or lower revenues or greater or less
spending on particular public programs.
Students: Your Enemy is Sacramento
budget crisis, California, california state, california state constitutional convention, constitution, constitutional convention, convention, csu fees, education, fee increase, reform, repair california, repaircalifornia.org, student protests, student revolt, uc fees, www.repaircalifornia.org
Now what do you do?
After decades of gradual fee increases, the latest 'deal' struck by the UC regents to raise fees an unprecedented 32% has finally crossed the line. A world class education–essential for the success of yourself, your state, and your nation–is slipping away from California's social contract.
Since realizing the inevitable last fall, you've walked-out, sat-in, and spoken-up. The outrage–real outrage–on UC, CSU, and Community College campuses is palpable. In fact, your reaction has received global media coverage. Of your massive protests last September, the UK Guardian first wrote of the "shock" it sent throughout the capitol, and then it described the students and faculty as "meaning business."
So the die has been cast. The state of California has crossed the rubicon. Sacramento wants your education back.
You've blamed the UC Regents and the CSU Board of Trustees–suspicious of how readily they accepted the cuts and questioning of their compensation, you want answers. You've blamed the governor–for heaping the fallout of California's colossal dysfunction onto the shoulders of its children, and for seeming aloof from the plight of California's students. You've blamed the state legislature–for doing its best to undermine your education, and for allowing nearly every other function of the state to grind to a halt on its watch.
But something about these enemies doesn't stick.
The regents and the trustees are only reacting to what's coming down on them from the State Capitol, and their compensation alone doesn't come close to closing the hole.
The Governor too is hamstrung. Even in good economic times, he and the legislature only control about 20% of the budget. The rest is 'locked-in' by the spending priorities and restrictions by the political movements of yesterday.
The legislature is a tempting target…but wait. Fees have increased during periods of Republican control and Democratic control; when liberals were in charge of the legislature and when conservatives were in charge; in good economic times and bad. You have every reason to believe that you will continue to receive less education for more money no matter who wins what election where or when.
No, the fee hikes, the layoffs, and the furloughs (like the IOU's, the prisons, and the water) are bigger than Arnold Schwarzenegger, and they are certainly bigger than either the regents or the board of trustees. For this reason, you and your fellow students have been visibly frustrated trying to find the right target for your wrath, the most effective avenue for your collective action.
Should you look to Sacramento? Today, at this very moment, the Capitol exists in a state of controlled-anarchy. Every lobbying firm and every interest group scavenges whatever it can from the public body; the feast has no strategy, no master plan, and no guiding principle. The beast has shown itself capable of devouring water systems, prison systems, roads, bridges, and the social safety net, and now its hungry for the greatest university system in the history of our species. The monster cannot be tamed or captured, and its gluttony is ravaging us all.
Then it hits. The problem is Sacramento. Your enemy is Sacramento.
What do you do? When who controls the legislature or the governor's mansion has largely ceased to matter, and when the system and all its parts has become so fundamentally committed to destroying everything you love–from your parks to your health to your education–where do you turn? Do you tinker around the edges? No. You get a new system.
Last month, a coalition of advocacy groups called Repair California, finalized and submitted two ballot measures to do just that, by calling California's first constitutional convention in 130 years. If the measures succeed at the ballot we would be enabled to scrap the old system and build a new one, one that learns from other states and reflects the California of tomorrow. No other reform proposal offers such an opportunity, not even close.
I don't know about you, but I refuse to accept the status quo and what it's doing to us. It's time for us to seize our future. California needs you. This movement needs you. Visit http://www.RepairCalifornia.org.

'EVERY DAY IS A LIVING HELL'
Devastated family of schoolgirl Charlene Downes, 14, who was 'chopped into kebabs' are to sue police over failings
Family say vital evidence may have been missed as CCTV sat on a shelf for more than a decade

THE family of a schoolgirl who vanished 14 years ago are to sue police over their bungled investigation, it was reported today.
Charlene Downes' mum Karen is said to be taking legal action after detectives appealed for witnesses with "new" CCTV footage that had been sitting in their archives for more than a decade.

Charlene, 14, of Blackpool, went missing in November 2003.
No trace of her has ever been found but detectives believe her body was chopped up and had "gone into kebabs" at a takeaway in the town.
The investigation has been dogged by problems ever since. A 2007 murder trial collapsed because of police errors and the IPCC watchdog ruled the force's blunders mean the killer may never be found.
Last year a cold case team revisited the investigation and discovered CCTV footage of Charlene walking with her sister Rebecca on the day she vanished.
It was released on the 13th anniversary of her disappearance in November and again for a fresh appeal on the BBC's Crimewatch Live Roadshow last week.

Karen says if it had been shown closer to the time she vanished it could have led to vital evidence from witnesses.
She told the Daily Mirror: "It is unbelievable that they have had that footage all those years and never used it.
"It is an absolute disgrace and an insult to the memory of my dead daughter.
"Maybe If the CCTV was shown at the time I could have got justice years ago and put Charlene to rest but now my pain continues.
"I am absolutely disgusted. Every day is still a living hell. And instead of helping me the police add to it as they never tell me anything and seem determined to keep me in the dark."

She is taking civil action against Lancashire police and is seeking damages and a public apology over their handling of the investigation, the paper reports.
In 2007 kebab shop boss Ilyad Albattikhi was acquitted of Charlene's murder and his co-defendant was acquitted of helping to dispose of her body.
A planned retrial was dropped due to lack of evidence. Covert recordings in which the defendants appeared to say Charlene's body had "gone into kebabs" were later found to be flawed due to their handling.
Two officers later faced disciplinary proceedings over the case, but themselves sued the force claiming they were scapegoated for their bosses' failings.
What happened to Charlene?
3:35pm: Charlene caught on CCTV crossing the road in Blackpool
7:15pm: Charlene's mum Karen Downes gave her a kiss after bumping into Charlene in the Blackpool town centre. Charlene told her she was going to the arcade and wouldn't be late home. She meets her friend from the bus and they walk towards the Promenade, heading for the Carousel bar on North Pier
9:03pm: Charlene is allegedly spotted on CCTV outside a Blackpool bar on Talbot Road with a woman wearing a ¾ length black coat
Charlene's family report her as missing when she fails to come home.
2006: Police advise Charlene's family that she has been murdered and that the case is no longer a missing persons enquiry
2007: Takeaway owner Iyad Albatthiki acquitted of murdering Charlene after trial which claimed her body was chopped up and had "gone into kebabs". His co-defendant Mohammed Reveshi was acquitted of helping to dispose of her body
2008: Albattikhi and Reveshi were set to be re-trialled but it's called off due to lack of evidence amid failings in the police investigation. The men were paid almost £250,000 each in compensation
2011: Officers investigating Charlene's appearance discover at least 60 schoolgirls were groomed for sex at takeaways in Blackpool in exchange for food, alcohol and cigarettes. They believe Charlene was involved
2014: A Crimewatch appeal is issued and cops reveal a £100,000 reward for information
27 June 2016: Police investigating Charlene's murder arrest two men on suspicion of historic sex offences
A £100,000 reward has been offered for information on what happened to Charlene.
Officers from Lancashire Police have taken more than 4,800 witness statements and followed 10,500 lines of inquiry but the case remains unsolved.
Detectives suspect Charlene may have been a victim of sexual exploitation in Blackpool.
It was revealed that at least 60 schoolgirls were groomed for sex by takeaway workers, who would ply youngsters with food, alcohol and cigarettes in return for sexual favours.

An inmate is suing the Prison Service after he was injured falling out of a bunk bed, it was revealed today.
Gerry Cooper, a prisoner at Bullingdon jail in Oxfordshire, launched a negligence claim after allegedly cutting his head in a night-time tumble from the top bunk.
In a letter to prisoners' magazine Inside Time, Mr Cooper wrote: "Bunk beds are an accident waiting to happen."
Mr Cooper suggested prisoners could not be compelled to sleep in the top bunk if they felt unsafe, and told fellow inmates to be "aware of the implications" in the current jail overcrowding crisis.
Mr Cooper wrote: "In November 2005, I turned over in my sleep and fell from the top bunk of my bed sustaining a bad gash to the head. I am currently pursuing a claim for negligence.
"Since my fall, this prison has not upgraded its risk assessment of bunk beds, which I consider to be a breach of health and safety regulations."
He added: "The governor here denies any liability, however informs me that any inmate who does not feel safe in a bunk bed on the top bunk will not be compelled to go into one.
"If this is indeed Prison Service policy then I feel that all inmates need to be aware of the implications, as I understand that currently some 30,000 are in accommodation designed for one."
A Prison Service spokesman said its policy on bunk beds was not as suggested in Mr Cooper's letter. "Prisoners who sleep in bunk beds have been advised for some time on how to use them safely and are encouraged to report any concerns to prison staff," he said.
"The Prison Service will try to meet the needs of prisoners who do not wish to sleep on the top bunks but this will not always be possible due to constraints imposed by population pressures and health and safety concerns, as rail guards could be used as ligature points by prisoners trying to commit suicide."
Shadow Home Affairs Minister Edward Garnier said: "The amount paid out to prisoners in compensation has doubled to £4m in just one year."
Earlier this year it emerged that compensation payments to prisoners doubled from £2.19 million in 2004-05 to £4 million in 2005-06, with one inmate receiving £2.7 million following a failed suicide attempt. The figures were revealed in a Parliamentary written answer.
In May it was revealed that a group of 200 prisoners are suing the Home Office for a breach of human rights because they were made to stop taking drugs in jail.
Last year dozens of prisoners were handed £100 each following a fire which was started deliberately at Highpoint prison in Suffolk to make up for the "inconvenience" they suffered.
