CAMP HUMPHREYS — Courageous Channel 12, a noncombatant evacuation operation exercise, was conducted here May 17-19.
Courageous Channel is an annual exercise held in Korea, which allows U.S. military dependents, non-emergency essential civilians and contractors to walk through the evacuation process that would be used in a noncombatant evacuation scenario.
During this exercise, an assessment team that consists of military medical, veterinarian and force protection personnel visit noncombatant evacuation operation sites around the peninsula and noncombatants practiced the evacuation process.
Participation is mandatory for family members of Soldiers and Department of Defense civilians and non-emergency essential workers.
“This exercise allowed dependents of all military members an opportunity to experience the emergency control center,” said Sgt. Hezekiah L. Jenkins, an Area III noncombatant evacuation operation coordinator.
The exercise included check-in tables divided by unit, an eligibility screening and a review of participant data in the NEO tracking system.
During the exercise, participants were given a bracelet, which would be used to track them at different stations worldwide in the event of evacuation.
The process also included a nuclear, biological, and chemical station, where people could practice donning protective masks and simulate the actions that would be taken in the event they needed to be decontaminated. Other specialists offered medical, legal and finance information.
Niral is very courageous. It is not easy to walk the line between modeling and the mores of Islam that dictate modesty. Niral is from a modern Muslim family, one that respects their religion while finding ways to integrate into modern society, without setting aside their beliefs or values. That is a challenging goal and their success is a notable and praiseworthy achievement! Niral's parents explained that before the competition they discussed what they considered to be "red lines," the boundaries they believed Niral should not cross in order to model. One photo-shoot made Niral and her family slightly uncomfortable as it was very suggestive but they agreed that though she was close to the line, she did not cross it and the stretch was worth it because it helped paved the way to her victory.
The Arab community in Israel is divided in its sentiments. Some applaud Niral for her personal success and for being a positive representative of the Arab and Moslem community in the mainstream Jewish society. Others in the Arab community are horrified that a Moslem girl would show-off her figure. They accuse her of being a "bad Moslem," corrupting the youth and call her names.
Niral's mother Nadia told a reporter of a reaction Niral received after just two episodes of the tv show were aired. The reaction is indicative of the sentiments of the majority of Israel. On exiting a café in her home town of Haifa Niral was surrounded by a cluster of people asking for her autograph. They were shouting: "we support you, you are one of us! You are a Haifa girl!" The crowd consisted of JEWS AND ARABS.

This is a modest hommage to the courageous people of Fukushima prefecture. They survived a triple disaster in 2011 and are now, nine years later, still fighting with the consequences. I wish them well in their strugle for their beautiful province and thank them for their kindness during this trip.
Fukushima is the third largest prefecture in Japan (14,000 km²), and one of its least densely populated. The prefecture is divided into three main regions: Aizu in the west, Naka dori in the centre and Hama dori in the east. Aizu is mountainous with snowy winters, while the climate in Hama dori is moderated by the Pacific Ocean.
The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster (福島第一原子力発電所事故 Fukushima Dai-ichi (About this soundpronunciation) genshiryoku hatsudensho jiko) was a nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Ōkuma, Fukushima Prefecture. The disaster was the most severe nuclear accident since the 26 April 1986 Chernobyl disaster and the only other disaster to be given the Level 7 event classification of the International Nuclear Event Scale.
The accident was started by the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami on 11 March 2011.] On detecting the earthquake, the active reactors automatically shut down their fission reactions. Because of the reactor trips and other grid problems, the electricity supply failed, and the reactors' emergency diesel generators automatically started. Critically, they were powering the pumps that circulated coolant through the reactors' cores to remove decay heat, which continues after fission has ceased. The earthquake generated a 14-meter-high tsunami that swept over the plant's seawall and flooded the plant's lower grounds around the Units 1–4 reactor buildings with sea water, filling the basements and knocking out the emergency generators. The resultant loss-of-coolant accidents led to three nuclear meltdowns, three hydrogen explosions, and the release of radioactive contamination in Units 1, 2 and 3 between 12 and 15 March. The spent fuel pool of previously shut-down Reactor 4 increased in temperature on 15 March due to decay heat from newly added spent fuel rods, but did not boil down sufficiently to expose the fuel.
In the days after the accident, radiation released to the atmosphere forced the government to declare an ever larger evacuation zone around the plant, culminating in an evacuation zone with a 20-kilometer radius. All told, some 154,000 residents evacuated from the communities surrounding the plant due to the rising off-site levels of ambient ionizing radiation caused by airborne radioactive contamination from the damaged reactors.
Large amounts of water contaminated with radioactive isotopes were released into the Pacific Ocean during and after the disaster. Michio Aoyama, a professor of radioisotope geoscience at the Institute of Environmental Radioactivity, has estimated that 18,000 terabecquerel (TBq) of radioactive caesium 137 were released into the Pacific during the accident, and in 2013, 30 gigabecquerel (GBq) of caesium 137 were still flowing into the ocean every day. The plant's operator has since built new walls along the coast and also created a 1.5-kilometer-long "ice wall" of frozen earth to stop the flow of contaminated water.
While there has been ongoing controversy over the health effects of the disaster, a 2014 report by the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) and World Health Organization projected no increase in miscarriages, stillbirths or physical and mental disorders in babies born after the accident. An ongoing intensive cleanup program to both decontaminate affected areas and decommission the plant will take 30 to 40 years, plant management estimate.
On 5 July 2012, the National Diet of Japan Fukushima Nuclear Accident Independent Investigation Commission (NAIIC) found that the causes of the accident had been foreseeable, and that the plant operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), had failed to meet basic safety requirements such as risk assessment, preparing for containing collateral damage, and developing evacuation plans. At a meeting in Vienna three months after the disaster, the International Atomic Energy Agency faulted lax oversight by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, saying the ministry faced an inherent conflict of interest as the government agency in charge of both regulating and promoting the nuclear power industry. On 12 October 2012, TEPCO admitted for the first time that it had failed to take necessary measures for fear of inviting lawsuits or protests against its nuclear plants.

There has been a call out to protest Bill C-51 on March 14, 2015 in cities across the country.
The proposed legislation Bill C-51 would clearly allow for the violation of Charter Rights, facilitate spying on innocent Canadians, and create a secret police force with little oversight or accountability.
This bill disproportionately targets indigenous communities, environmental activists, dissidents, and Muslims, many of whom are already subjected to questionable and overreaching powers by security officials. This bill will make it easier and ostensibly lawful for government to continue infringing upon the rights of peaceful people.
C-51 is reckless, irresponsible and ineffective.
We are calling on the government to withdraw the legislation.
We are calling on everyone to do what they can to bring attention to this governments attempt to compromise privacy for false security, while promoting a culture of fear and racism.
Please send a message to your MP, share this event, and join us on March 14!

The International Civil Rights Walk of Fame, located at the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site, was created in 2004 by Xernona Clayton to "give recognition to those courageous soldiers of justice who sacrificed and struggled to make equality a reality for all." The walkable promenade leading to the Historic Site's Visitors Center is lined with embedded 2-foot by 2-foot granite markers featuring the actual footstep impressions of civil and human rights icons, such as Rosa Parks, Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, Ambassador Andrew Young, US Congressman John Lewis, and others
The Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site, an area of about 2 blocks around Auburn Avenue, was established by the National Park Service (NPS) on October 10, 1980. The historic site includes King's gravesite; the historic Fire Station No. 6; the "I Have a Dream" International World Peace Rose Garden; and the International Civil Rights Walk of Fame.
The Martin Luther King, Jr. Historic District, an area bound roughly by Irwin, Randolph, Edgewood, and Auburn Avenues, was established in 1974 and later, in 1977 designated a national historic landmark, and expanded in 2001. The district encompasses the environs in which Martin Luther King, Jr., grew up from his birth in 1929 until he left Atlanta.
