Tori Verber Salazar has been a major force in San Joaquin County's District Attorney Office. She rose through the ranks prosecuting gang related homicides to become the first woman District Attorney elected to the office in 2015. She has since instituted sweeping reform and innovation in prosecution for the County, which supports a population of over 730,000 residents. In her capacity, she oversees a budget of $42 Million and a team of over 280 employees who work for the DA office.
Through her leadership, Verber Salazar has implemented office-wide changes including expansion of Victim-Witness services, establishment of the Family Justice Center (expanding services into multiple cities within the county), and creation of the first Political Integrity Unit dedicated to prosecution of corruption cases - which has led to the successful prosecution of elected or appointed officials for misuse of the public trust.
She is a leader in restoring justice through Proposition 47 and 64. She has addressed the racial inequities in the past implementation of the criminal justice system and has worked to restore trust in our community by apologizing and accepting responsibility. She has worked collaboratively with the community to re-store trust and accountability.
Verber Salazar is recognized as a leader in the national dialogue in regards to Officer Involved Critical Incidents.

Summer Beauty Saviours Worth The Splurge!
A NAIL HARDENER WITH A DIFFERENCE!
If you know me you will know that I am totally and utterly obsessed with hair, no actually let me rephrase that- I'm obsessed with my own hair being long, thick and as healthy as possible.
The 3-4 years has seen me go from having super long, rapunzel hair in the form of the amazing Gold Class hair extensions by hair extension Queen Becky at Daniel Galvin to having them taken out completely and going for the mother of all chops! I went from this….
I got my extensions out and had my chop a month after I got engaged in May 2016- I knew It was the right time in my life to wave goodbye to fake hair and welcome fresh, new NATURAL hair to my life. Sometimes I think you need something MAJOR to happen to you for you to make these kinds of decisions, and for me this was it. Also my fiance James happens to HATE extensions with a passion, he hates how he can't touch my head without feeling 'those annoying bumping things everywhere' his words not mine. Those 'annoying bumpy things' happened to make me feel very good about my self the last few years but just like everything, it had to come to an end and now guess what makes me feel good? Being able to wash, brush and touch my own naturally healthy and admittedly shiny hair that I've been taking the very best of care of since that day I had the chop.
OLAPLEX & TRIM- I go to Blush + Blow in Parsons Green Fulham and have the professional in-salon Olaplex Treatment once every 6 weeks (sometimes olaplex once a month and trim at 8 weeks but more often than not, both at 8 weeks) and a little trim so keep split ends at bay and keep my blunt cut looking blunt – I think theres no better way to fast-rack to think looking hair than going for a blunt cut! Cutting your hair regularly will keep it growing healthily.
If you know about Olaplex, you know!! This miracle treatment works by reconnecting broken sulfur bonds in the hair and repairs and limits damage hair colouring causes – an absolute MUST for blondes especially, but really anyone who colours their hair.
I highly recommend investing in Olaplex No.3- the at home hair treatment to use in between salon Olaplex treatments and in-between hair colouring applications – you hair will look visibly better for it I can assure you. I wet my hair in the shower, towel dry, apply the product from roots to ends and then wrap it up in a bun and sleep with it in. Sometimes (if I have time) I wash out the product in the morning and follow on with a Wella SP application for EXTRA amazingly soft, well nourished hair.
WELLA SP LIQUID HAIR- A colourist at Daniel Galvin recommended this to me the day I had my hair chopped off so I immediately ordered it online and have been using it once a week / once every two weeks ever since. She swore by it and no I can't live without it- Its a moleular hair refiller which basically works to rebuild the hair's inner and outer structure whilst nourishing the hair. To use, wash your hair then jump out of the shower, towel dry and use about 5/6 pipettes of Liquid Hair applying to sections in the hair. Now comb through and blow in- do this for about 5 mins before hopping back into the shower to rinse. You will see exactly why I use this once you give it a try- its transformed my hair.
I use this everyday, its a great brush to detangle hair without damaging it and makes my hair look so full and shiny when I brush it in the morning. Feels amazing on your scalp too which I'm sure is a great thing to encourage and wake up hair follicles.
My favourite hair heat protection, this cream not only protects the hair from heat damage when styling but it smoothes the hair and primes it ready for you to style it. I love it and have been using it for years now!
I use this hero hair oil to apply to my damp ends after washing and it seals ends making it feel SUPER soft and look so sleek! I love the smell of it too. I've also been using this since I can remember as my mum has always been a fan of it.
I use (and I'm obsessed with) the Pureology Platinum shampoo and conditioner to keep my highlighted hair looking bright and healthy – this shampoo neutralises any brassy / yellowy tones and protects it at the same time. Its also sulphate free and smells LOVELY! If you have blonde hair I would invest in this to keep the colour looking as fresh and bright as possible and to avoid the horrible brassy tones that natural happen over time with highlighted and blonde coloured hair. I've tried lots of these sorts of shampoos and I can honestly say this is my absolute FAVE!
By this I mean find a hair colourist that goes above and beyond and does whats best for your hair…I did this and discovered the wonderful (and utterly gorgeous!!!) Amy Nitsopoulos and have vowed to never let another colourist touch my hair! She's seriously INCRED and I'm so thankful to have her in my life. My hair colour has never looked so good- the blonde is so natural and grows out so nicely, low maintenance and healthy looking. Amy you are the very best of the best! Find Amy at Taylor Taylor in Shoreditch and I promise you will never look back, best decision I've ever made.

First Stop of Huntsville Begs for Help after Furloughing Employees
Posted 1:46 pm, July 17, 2013, by Beth Jett, Updated at 02:50PM, July 17, 2013
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) - A non-profit organization in Huntsville that works tirelessly to help the less fortunate and homeless is having critical financial problems. In fact, managers were forced to furlough employees this week and aren't even sure of their own future stability.
Ironically, signs hang all around the building of First Stop highlighting ways for less fortunate people to find work, improve their education and their lives.
That's what the seven staff members there do fulltime: help some 100 homeless people.
"We actually help the client out from top to bottom, from the mental state, from money management, from re-housing to health screens, to everything," said Jody Slay, Case Manager Supervisor.
"We're also actually in the process of doing a job fair here, which is kinda ironic since we had to furlough some people," said First Stop Executive Director Tashaunda Weeks. She said Tuesday, five of the seven staffers there found out they're on furlough this month due to a severe shortage in operational funding.
"My paycheck has been cut by 40 percent," said Slay.
He's lucky he can work three days a week as case manager supervisor... one staffer was told not to come in at all this month.
"I don't know if we're going to have to lay people off indefinitely," said Weeks. "I just don't know that."
Weeks said it's due to a delay in receiving monies from two grants that keep the non-profit afloat.
She explained First Stop of Huntsville can't get help from their regional office in Birmingham, because it too is having financial problems and furloughing employees.
So the Huntsville office's only hope is the generosity of people across the Tennessee Valley to come up with at least $15,000 to help them make it until August, when they hope their grant money will arrive.
"It's really difficult because you don't know," said Weeks. "We may end up in the same position that our clients are in because most of us already live from pay period to pay period."
Weeks said no money means fewer services for those who already have next to nothing.
And many of the First Stop staffers are trying to provide for their own families, including small children.
Any donations to First Stop would be greatly appreciated and are tax-deductible.
You can donate by stopping by their office at 206 Stokes Street in Huntsville, or sending in a check by mail. Their zip code is 35805. You can get more information by calling them at 256-533-3391.
First Stop serves at least 100 homeless people, providing meals, counseling, and training to get them back on their feet.

Penny's Points: I am still me.
Every experience we have and everything we do teaches us something about ourselves, the messages are always there if we care to listen, sometimes in the spoken word of others, sometimes in their actions towards us and sometimes just our own learning.
And so it was with my few days away this week.
On Saturday Trevor and I travelled down to Hythe nr Southampton to see my cousin and her husband. This had been planned for a while and I was really looking forward to seeing her as well as feeling some trepidation as I never know from one day to the next how I am going to be, but this was Sharon, she knows me better than I know myself at times and is so easy to be with and although I had thrown a few Wobblies about going away I knew I would be ok with her.
I had also arranged a two day trip to the Isle of Wight to meet someone who had become a very dear friend through twitter, again I had reservations about going, I talk quite freely about my condition but to actually meet with someone takes some courage on my part.
I must say here that if I was as aware of myself as I like to think I am I would have known how accepting of my condition and therefore of myself I have become as a year ago I wouldn't have dreamed of meeting someone like this so that was a positive I had completely missed at the time.
On the Saturday evening we all discussed the changes in the welfare system that this government are bringing in and I explained why I personally had become so active in fighting parts of it, I became quite animated explaining it as I tend to do these days when attempting to get others to understand what these changes mean to the disabled community. Several times Sharon seemed quite troubled by the words I was using and how personally I was taking it all.
On the Sunday Sharon and I went out by ourselves for a while and left the men doing a bit of gardening and Sharon took this opportunity to explain her concerns to me.
One of our regular discussions has always been on 'who are we?' the roles we play in life etc, because we have always been so close to each other there is a bond there that gives us both insight I suppose into the other and the freedom of being able to talk about anything together.
Sharon pointed out that I talk now as if the disability or 'my condition' as I describe it is all I seem to think I am these days, or I am this condition and nothing else.
The passion in my writing comes out more when it involves this condition, the way I think about life revolves around this condition.
To a certain extent that has to be the way of things now but I suddenly heard what she was saying, I had lost sight of the fact that I was so much more than this condition, I am still a mother, still a nan, still a wife etc, the disability is a part of who I now am but by no means ALL that I am.
My fear over what this government was doing to disabled people had made me highlight my own medical condition in my mind to the near exclusion of everything else.
I talk all the time about acceptance, particularly acceptance of your bodies failings through ill health but I had missed the point here of my own teachings, acceptance means accepting you have something wrong, accepting what your limitations are and then moving on, I completely ignored the moving on stage.
It took my cousin gently pointing out that I Was still me, still Penny, still the same person as I ever was for me to realise just how entrenched I had become in 'living' the condition. Sure, things have changed, circumstances have changed, things I can and can't do have changed but I, Me, the person inside, I haven't changed, becoming disabled hasn't taken these other things away from me, it's become yet another part of me, I don't have to 'live' it, I have to live with it....there's a huge difference there.
Thanks to my lovely cousin for holding a mirror up and showing me me!

Home / Car News / 2020 Audi SQ8 available in US
2020 Audi SQ8 available in US
Audi is updating its performance offer on the US market with the introduction of the new SQ8 model. The SQ8 carries an all-new engine for the U.S. market, a 4.0-liter TFSI V8, capable of producing 500 horsepower and 568 lb-ft of torque. The available Sport Package adds active roll stabilization and a quattro sport differential, along with red brake calipers, to further enhance driving dynamics.
The SQ8 offers available active roll stabilization, using the vehicle's 48V electrical system to turn into corners more flatly. This allows the SQ8 to have a comfortable ride without compromising spirited driving dynamics. Standard all-wheel steering turns the front and rear wheels in the opposite directions to reduce the vehicle's turning circle and turns them the same direction at highway speeds for enhanced stability.
SEE ALSO: ABT RS7-R is based on the new Audi RS7 Sportback and has 730 horsepower
The SQ8 is equipped with standard quattro all-wheel drive, offering high-precision handling through active torque distribution to both axles. In regular driving situations, the quattro all-wheel-drive system delivers 60 percent of the torque to the rear axle and 40 percent to the front.
Paying homage to the Audi Sport quattro coupe of the 1980s, the design language of the SQ8 is highlighted by pronounced wheel arches and gently inclined C-pillars. The light strip that comprises the rear LED tail light signature is also reminiscent of cues from the original sports coupe.
The available Black-optic Package includes 22-inch Audi Sport 5-V-spoke anthracite wheels with all-season tires, black exterior accents that complement the mirror caps, roof rails and Singleframe grille.
SEE ALSO: The all-new Audi RS6 Avant is here and it can be ordered in America
The SQ8 comes standard LED headlights with LED taillights and dynamic turn signals or can be equipped with available HD Matrix-design LED headlights with full LED taillights. When equipped with the available HD-Matrix design headlights, fast-moving light animations play in the headlights and taillights when the vehicle is locked and unlocked.
Standard second-generation Audi virtual cockpit featuring a 12.3-inch display offers HD resolution of 1920 x 720 pixels. The virtual cockpit helps enhance the infotainment and navigating experience through the large satellite imagery or 3D city maps.
The MMI touch response system is displayed over two large, high-resolution touch displays (10.1" top, 8.6" bottom) that are used for navigation functions in addition to the lower display's controls for climate control, comfort and convenience functions and for natural handwriting input with whole-word recognition.

Historic-artifact replica, or demonic harbinger?
The replica of the arch of the Temple of Baal has been on a world tour the past few years, having been put on display in London, New York and then Dubai for a global summit. And it was recently rebuilt for yet another global summit, this time the G7 meeting of the leading industrialized nations held in Florence, Italy.
The arch, a reconstruction of an ancient Roman building destroyed by ISIS in Syria, has been promoted by its creators at the Institute of Digital Technology as a symbol of defiance against terrorism and a tribute to world heritage.
But why is a reconstruction of a gateway to a temple of a pagan god whose rites were marked by child sacrifice and ritual prostitution being so persistently publicized at globally important gatherings?
The rabbi believes the globalist movement isn't secular or atheist but, instead, undergirded by pagan spirituality.
The rabbi believes the arch "is the portal for the new world the Talmud is talking about" and could be used either by the New World Order or the Messiah.
Pastor Carl Gallups, author of the end times examination "When The Lion Roars," said people are right to ascribe deep spiritual significance to the arch.
"Rabbi Assur is not the only one who sees the spiritual significance in the Palmyra arch's victory tour," he told WND.
Gallups also said it is profoundly interesting – and worrying – that the arch always seems to be in a location of deep significance to the elite-driven movement to create a global government.
"It is a heavily documented fact that when the Palmyra arch was reconstructed, the places chosen for the display of the arch, complete with ceremonious activities of dedication and honor, were indisputably centers of globalistic power," Gallups observed.
"Each of these locations had direct connections to the United Nations, the World Government Summit, the G7 Conference and the major economic engines of the world. And this tour started in London, perhaps the world's most important financial capital, during the pagan festival of Beltane – during a time specifically dedicated to Baal worship. From there, it went to New York City and then to global governance meetings.
"How could anyone, with any spiritual discernment at all, miss the demonic message being audaciously broadcast to the world?" Gallups asked.
He warned that the global leaders are meddling with dark forces.
Pastor Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries, author of the new book "God's Day Timer," and a leader in the movement to reintroduce Jewish practices into the church, strongly agrees.
"The culture of pagan Rome took over Christianity almost 2,000 years ago!" he said. "Around 300 CE the church thought it best to completely assimilate pagan worship with their new religion. The concept of biblical holiness was not in their thinking. We find this true today.
Biltz called for Christian churches to remove pagan traditions from their worship services and to rediscover the Hebraic roots of their religion.
"God declared to Israel that they were to wipe out the names of the pagan gods and have no mixture," the pastor said. "But today many church leaders have no problem mixing the God of the Bible with paganism in their worship as long as they can continue to bring in the revenue. It is much like in the time of Jesus when the religious leaders were more concerned about losing their place than they were in following the Messiah.
Bill Cloud, another proponent of using Jewish traditions within Christianity and the author of "Esau Rising," agreed neo-paganism is a real spiritual threat.
"I do believe Western civilization is abandoning Judeo-Christian values and reverting to a more secular worldview, if not outright paganism," he told WND.
However, he suggested the arch is an outward manifestation of a deeper moral decline taking place in Western culture.
"As for the arch, I do not believe it to be of any great import in and of itself; it's the thoughts and imagination behind it that I find disturbing and potentially dangerous," the pastor said. "In Genesis 11, it was not the Tower of Babel itself that God considered to be a threat – it was the imaginations of man that conceived of it and then brought into being. That's what had to be curtailed.
Still, though Cloud is concerned by much of what is happening in the world, he urges believers to look forward to the future. After all, he said, Messiah's victory is assured.

Facebook bans India ruling party politician over anti-Muslim hate speech

Date of publication: 3 September, 2020
The BJP politician reportedly called for Rohingya Muslim refugees to be shot.

Facebook has banned an outspoken right-wing Indian politician for spreading hate speech about Muslims as the social media giant battles accusations of bias over its handling of rival parties in the key market.
T. Raja Singh, a regional lawmaker for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ruling party, was blocked "for violating our policy prohibiting those that promote or engage in violence and hate from having a presence on our platform", a Facebook spokesman said.
An "extensive" process was followed in making the decision to block Raja Singh, the spokesman added.
Raja, who made headlines for reportedly saying that Muslim Rohingya refugees from Myanmar should be shot, will now be put on a Facebook list of "dangerous individuals".
He told AFP he would fight the ban and that Facebook's action was an attack on Modi's Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party.
"They (Facebook) are targeting the BJP through me," Raja Singh said, calling the ban "absolutely wrong".
"It's an intentional move against the BJP," he said.
Facebook has been caught in the middle of accusations of bias from rival sides in India's feverish political battlefield. India is the American firm's biggest market in terms of number of users.
Opposition parties said it favours the BJP after the Wall Street Journal reported that Facebook public policy Ankhi Das refused to take down anti-Muslim comments by Raja Singh because it could damage the company's business interests.
The Congress party said there was a "blasphemous nexus between the BJP and Facebook".
India's communications minister Ravi Shankar Prasad wrote to Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg this week however saying the company was against Modi and his party.

Opinion: "Muslims were no longer just carriers of the virus; they were the virus" https://t.co/E7ijZEJJO4
— The New Arab (@The_NewArab) July 2, 2020
Prasad accused Facebook of trying to influence Indian politics through "gossip, whispers and innuendo" against the ruling party.
According to Raja Singh, his account was hacked when he was quoted as saying that Rohingya Muslims should be shot. But he told AFP that he stood by comments calling for all Rohingya to be expelled from his home state of Telengana.
The fiery politician said he would demand that Facebook let him use an official account.
"If others open an account in my name and upload my videos, what will Facebook authorities do then? How many such accounts will they ban?"
However sources in the company said Raja Singh would not be allowed any presence on the platform or on Instagram, which is also owned by Facebook.
The sources said Facebook will remove pages, groups and accounts set up to represent Raja Singh. It would also remove material from events when it is known that Raja Singh will participate.
Digital rights activist Nikhil Pahwa said Facebook was facing pressure to crack down on radical individuals and entities behind incitement to violence.
"If there was hate speech, our expectation is Facebook should curtail that hate speech. But at the same time, why isn't it our expectation that law enforcement agencies should prosecute that person?" he told AFP.
Meanwhile, social media giant Twitter confirmed the account of Prime Minister Modi had been hacked on Thursday.
Tweets were sent from the prime minister's feed asking for charitable donations using a cryptocurrency, but have since been taken down.
"We're aware of this activity and have taken steps to secure the compromised account. We are actively investigating the situation," a spokesman for Twitter said.
