Please review OSAC's Nigeria-specific webpage for proprietary analytic reports, Consular Messages, and contact information.
Crime Threats
Crime is a risk throughout the country. Economic gain motivates most crime directed toward Americans and U.S. private-sector entities in southern Nigeria. Common crimes include violent armed robberies, kidnap for ransom, and fraud. The mainland of Lagos has experienced periodic, violent clashes among localized street gangs known as "Area Boys." U.S. visitors and residents experienced armed muggings, assaults, burglaries, carjackings, rapes, kidnappings, and extortion.
Home invasions remain a serious threat with armed robbers threatening even guarded compounds by scaling perimeter walls, following residents/visitors, or subduing guards to gain entry. Armed robbers in Lagos have invaded waterfront compounds and businesses by boat, using the Lagos waterway as a means of escape. U.S. citizens, Nigerians, and other expatriates have been victims of armed robbery at banks and grocery stores and on airport roads during all hours. Armed robbers have targeted occupants in vehicles; smash-and-grab robberies are common with thieves canvassing stopped vehicles for valuables. Thieves will break the vehicle's window or simply reach in and grab items while a vehicle is stopped. Expatriates should cooperate if approached by an armed robber/carjacker.
Individuals should be wary of business offers promising large payoffs for little/no investment. Visitors are also advised not to use personal checks, credit cards, or ATMs. Due to the proliferation of identity and financial fraud, individuals should not carry unnecessarily detailed information about themselves and their finances.
Transportation-Safety Situation
Road Safety and Road Conditions
Traffic laws are generally not obeyed. Enforcement by local traffic officials is limited and ineffective. Scooters and motorcycles generally do not follow the rules of the road and often use sidewalks to get around vehicles. Red lights, traffic lanes, and highway divisions are not followed where they exist, and traffic police officers routinely seek bribes.
U.S. citizens, Nigerians, and expatriates have experienced harassment and shakedowns at vehicle checkpoints and during other encounters with officials, particularly the military and vigilante groups. Always slow down and politely acknowledge police or military at checkpoints. Police and military are authorized to shoot if you fail to stop at checkpoint.
Roads are not maintained to Western standards, and flat tires are highly common. Most roads are not illuminated at night, and pedestrian traffic is present on the roadside at all hours. Few major routes connect cities, so accidents and rush-hour traffic cause traffic jams (go-slows).
Cars should be parked in an area that is protected by a security guard or through significant access control. When going through traffic areas with stop lights, vehicles should always be locked and windows rolled up. Hawkers sell goods in between the lanes of traffic during rush hour, and indigent people beg aggressively at car windows at major intersections.
Accidents are frequent and often involve fatalities. Many traffic accidents go unreported, and no reliable statistics exist on traffic fatalities due to the lack of centralized reporting. Even minor collisions routinely draw large crowds that may become confrontational. The lack of medical response and adequate trauma facilities is a major concern. Never leave identifying materials or valuables in a vehicle. Traveling outside of major cities after dark is not recommended because of crime and road safety concerns. Keep vehicles well maintained. Drivers should try to remain a safe distance behind the vehicle ahead to allow space for avoidance maneuvers. Be alert for suspicious persons when exiting or approaching your vehicle.
Public Transportation Conditions
All public transportation is considered unsafe and is discouraged. Motorcycle taxis (okadas) are of particular concern. Okadas present a significant nuisance and danger to other motorists with unpredictable driving and lack of compliance with traffic rules. Okada drivers and even passengers often become confrontational and violent when involved in accidents. Okada drivers are known to engage in crime, either as active participants or as means of escape. Taxis are usually yellow or white vans that are filled beyond their capacity with riders. Occasionally, they are lures for robberies where the occupants of the vehicle work as a team to rob an unsuspecting passenger after they enter the vehicle. The occupant is usually assaulted and then dropped nearby.
Aviation/Airport Conditions
Security at Murtala Muhammed International Airport (LOS) has improved in recent years, and airport officials comply with Transportation Security Administration (TSA) security standards. TSA conducts regular security assessments at LOS. Travelers can expect to be approached by transients asking for money, sometimes aggressively, immediately after exiting the terminals. Reports of extortion and bribery solicitation attempts by airport officials have also receded but remain a concern.
Due to fuel shortages and a lack of capability to maintain aircraft in late 2016 and early 2017, delays and cancellations plague domestic travel. Occasionally, flights by national airlines en route to one city land in another to refuel before continuing to the intended destination.
The Nigerian government announced in 2016 that major repairs were needed on its runways at the international airport in Abuja. These repairs are scheduled for a two-month period in early spring of 2017. The operational effect of these repairs is expected to be significant for businesses and diplomats in Lagos, as all international flights will land in Lagos. Travelers will take domestic flights to cities surrounding Abuja and then travel by road to the capital.
Terrorism Threat
Local, Regional, and International Terrorism Threats/Concerns
A significant terrorist threat exists, particularly in northern Nigeria. Boko Haram is suspected of or has claimed responsibility for most of the terrorist activity in Nigeria. Boko Haram carried out kidnappings, killings, bombings, and attacks on civilian and military targets, resulting in over 6,000 deaths, injuries, and significant destruction of property in 2014 and 2015. Boko Haram is widely believed to be the group responsible for a December 2014 prison break in Ekiti State and a bomb attack at an oil depot in Apapa, Lagos State.
In 2016, Boko Haram divided into two factions. One faction affiliated itself with ISIS in West Africa, and the other remained loyal to its historical leadership. In the areas surrounding Lagos, news outlets reported the arrest of several Boko Haram members, but no attacks.
The threat of terrorism continues to challenge business activity and travel throughout Nigeria.
Throughout the Niger Delta region, several militant groups actively target oil pipeline infrastructure and personnel of international oil companies, including those of several major American companies.
Political, Economic, Religious, and Ethnic Violence
Nigeria's 2015 elections were considered generally peaceful despite several reported isolated incidents of violence. State elections were held in several states in 2016. International election monitors, NGOs, and Nigerian citizens reported instances of harassment, intimidation, and theft of ballot boxes in several states, but most elections remained relatively peaceful.
Civil Unrest
Large areas of southern Nigeria experience civil unrest due to endemic poverty, poor education, youth unemployment, and significant inflation. In addition, many individuals struggle on a daily basis to access clean water, reliable power, and basic healthcare. Government, international, and corporate social welfare programs aimed at addressing these issues occasionally create claims of injustice among neighboring populations divided by ethnic identity. Demonstrations against the government related to these issues occasionally leads to protests and outright sectarian violence. Multiple reports of street fights involving weapons and leading to deaths and beheadings were reported in several city centers including Anambra state in the fall of 2016 and Port Harcourt in late 2016.
Post-specific Concerns
Environmental Hazards
Lagos ranks among the cities with the highest air and noise pollution levels globally, largely due to rapid urbanization, limited infrastructure, and a rapidly growing population. These conditions lead to an increased number of vehicles on the road, poor quality gasoline, and the extensive use of loud generators.
Nigeria has two rainy seasons: March-August, September-mid-October. Road travel is virtually impossible under these weather conditions.
National disaster management is not effective or functional. The civilian sector's disaster management capabilities are poor to nonexistent. The military provides crowd control during disasters but no systemic medical response.
Critical Infrastructure
Despite Nigeria's hydrocarbon wealth, it lacks the ability to refine oil. Nigeria exports extracted crude and imports refined fuel. Fuel shortages in mid-2016 led to large crowds and lines around fuel stations. These occasionally erupted into instances of civil unrest as crowds became agitated while waiting throughout the day.
Kidnapping Threat
Kidnap for ransom (KFR) continues to be a security concern nationwide and is a lucrative industry. Criminal organizations target affluent, high-profile Nigerians and expatriates throughout southern Nigeria. In 2016, as the economy declined, security personnel tracked an increase in the targeting of middle-class Nigerians previously immune to the threat of kidnapping. Targeting of average Nigerians for smaller monetary gains has increased. In late 2016, kidnappers abducted 11 students and their teacher in Lagos. All victims were released following a ransom payment, but no kidnappers were arrested.
Kidnapping incidents are under-reported, and the rate of unconfirmed kidnappings continues to grow. These usually result in the release of the victim without harm, but security personnel protecting high-level expatriates have been killed in several attempts.
Seven kidnappings involving U.S. citizens were reported in 2015. While none of these incidents resulted in loss of life, substantial resources were used in their recovery. In 2016, a Nigerian American was murdered near Owerri in an incident in which he was kidnapped for a brief period before being murdered. Another American died under suspicious circumstances that indicated the possibility that he has been held for ransom. No suspects were arrested in either incident.
Kidnappings have also occurred in the more affluent areas of Lagos. In September 2014, two American expatriates were reported kidnapped in the Niger Delta.
Most KFR's last for two to three days. Some have extended into multiple weeks, but most of the events in southern Nigeria are short term. Criminals know that police are rarely contacted during a kidnapping and that families are quick to pay ransoms for the release of relatives. The methodology involves extensive planning by the kidnappers who often have a social or familial connection to the victim and are aware of the victim's movements and habits.
In early 2017, Lagos state strengthened the penalty for kidnapping. Convictions for kidnapping now carry a life sentence. The penalty rises to execution if a kidnap victim dies in captivity.
Police Response
Despite a visible police presence in large cities, police assistance does not have a wide reach. Police response to incidents involving the diplomatic and consular community, although well intentioned, often relies upon transport provided by an embassy or consulate staff to crime scenes. Law enforcement authorities usually respond slowly or not at all and provide little/no investigative support to victims. The Rapid Response Squad's policing capacity and emergency response capabilities continue to grow but remain in a nascent state.
A serious lack of resources (communications equipment, vehicles, skilled leadership, training) continues to undermine the effectiveness of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF). Usually, victims must maintain close contact to move an investigation forward. Crime laboratories and facilities to process evidence do not exist. Most Nigerians do not perceive the NPF as an effective law enforcement body and have little faith in the criminal justice system. A call to police for assistance may result in the solicitation of bribes. Criminal groups do not fear arrest or prosecution for their crimes. Local police and neighborhood associations, including vigilante groups, generally do not deter or disrupt crimes and seldom apprehend or detain suspects. NPF personnel do not patrol residential neighborhoods and numerous NPF officers assigned to private security details for either businesses or individuals routinely ignore any requests for assistance not directly associated with their assignments.
Visitors should always be polite and respectful of police officers and soldiers.
Vigilante justice is common. Perpetrators of crime are often beaten or burned to death by mobs before police arrive.
Crime Victim Assistance
There is no reliable national emergency communication number. The ACS unit at the U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate General should be the first point of contact for assistance. While in Lagos state, travelers may attempt to obtain police assistance by calling 767 or 112. Individuals should inquire at the nearest police station about the contact telephone numbers for that particular station.
Police/Security Agencies
Expatriates and affluent Nigerians employ their own security and utilize armored vehicles for travel. Police officers and other law enforcement agents are frequently hired by businesses and individuals to provide private security. Most businesses employ guard services and many companies offer varying quality of service. As Nigerian law prohibits the arming of private security personnel, police often supplement guard forces. These arrangements can be made by your local guard company or at a local police station.
Medical Emergencies
The best health care is available in private and nonprofit medical facilities. However, even these facilities typically fail to meet U.S. standards.
The availability of dependable and safe over-the-counter and prescription medications is a concern. Although local pharmacies are abundant, counterfeit products, including medications, have affected many Nigerians. Visitors should consider bringing a sufficient supply of needed medication. For more information, please refer to OSAC's Report, "Traveling with Medications."
All private hospitals and clinics require cash payments before receiving any care. Prices can be quite high, and it is often difficult to withdraw the required amount of money in a single bank transaction. Hospitals may detain patients who have not paid in full or deny services, even during exigent circumstances.

A TEAM of friendly dog walkers at Horsell Common helped find a confused pet who went missing on Monday. And his owner, Julie Price, would like to thank everyone who joined in the search for her beloved Weimaraner, Enzo.
Julie, who lives in Horsell, had to stay at home awaiting news of her other dog, a nine-week-old Weimaraner, Luca, who was suffering bad gastro-enteritis and was being cared for at Pet Doctors in Woking.
Her friend and dog trainer, Chris Orchard, volunteered to take her other dog, two-year-old Enzo, for a walk on Horsell Common.
Chris, who also took her own German shepherds Ella and Leah on the walk, said: "Julie's puppy was very ill and it was a pretty touch-and-go situation. She was extremely distressed about his chances, so I volunteered to take Enzo for a walk.
"When we arrived at the common, Enzo kept looking over his shoulder, I thought he had probably picked up some of Julie's stress because she had been worrying about Luca. I noticed he had not been to the toilet so let him off the lead. He went to the toilet and I went up to him but he moved away.
"I called 'sit' from a distance, as he goes to dog obedience classes, and he sat. But when I got closer to him and reached out, he did not want to know and ran off."
Chris said: "I started running around looking for him and asking everyone I saw if they had seen a silver, grey dog. I was running around so fast, I felt like a headless chicken. I met more dog walkers who had already heard about Enzo and were looking, too. My dogs were helping and running with me.
"I was so concerned for Enzo's safety. I came to the main road and waved at the traffic. I was pointing to the common and I think some motorists put two and two together and realised something was happening. I was worried that Enzo might try and run out into the road."
Chris phoned Julie who swiftly arrived at the main car park by the Six Crossroads roundabout. When Julie called Enzo, he appeared and ran straight into her arms.
Chris added: "We had such a wonderful group of dog walkers helping find Enzo, we all hugged when he came back.
"It's heart-warming to know how much people care and rally round to help. They gave up so much time and I am so grateful for that."
Julie said: "I was so worried about Luca, he had been given about 24 hours to live, so I was absolutely devastated when Chris phoned me. I was shocked and could not believe Enzo had acted in that way, it was so out of character.
"If he had run out into the road, I don't know what might have happened, I don't like to think about it. I would like to thank Chris and all the other dog walkers for their help, it's a great community at Horsell Common. Dog walkers are a special breed."
Julie added that her puppy Luca survived and all is well.

Chocolate Chip Chickpea Blondies
I made some chocolate chickpea cookies last summer and they turned out amazing! You really can't taste the chickpeas and it makes a great substitute for people who can't eat gluten or wheat because this has no flour! This influenced me to make my own recipe using chickpeas instead of flour! I also have 2kg of nut butter in my cupboard to use up so I thought it would be good to use it for a recipe even though I would love to just eat it with a spoon! You could also use peanut butter for this but it would slightly change the taste.
This recipe is a great treat to take along with a packed lunch to school or work. When I was younger my mum would make chickpea and chocolate chip cookies to take to school and I loved them just as much as these bars! They are sweet, gooey and have plenty of chocolate. Not only are they a healthier option but they are also really simple and quick to make with a food processor!
- 2 tins of chickpeas rinsed and drained (480g drained)
- 1 cup (200g) almond butter
- ¾ cup (180ml) maple syrup
- ½ tsp (2.5ml) vanilla powder
- 1 tsp (5ml) baking powder
- 1 cup (100g) chocolate chips
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Add all ingredients apart from the chocolate chips into the food processor.
- Blend for a few minutes until completely smooth.
- Remove the food processor blade add the chocolate chips. (reserve ¼ cup or 25g).
- Use a spoon to mix them into the chickpea mixture.
- Line 9x9 inch pan with baking paper.
- Pour the batter into lined pan and use a spoon to smooth the top.
- Sprinkle over the reserved chocolate chips.
- Bake for approximately 1 hour, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cool for around 30 minutes and then place in the fridge for a couple of hours.
- Slice into 9 even squares.
- Keep any leftovers in the fridge and eat within a few days,
If you make the recipe please use the hashtags #eatplantifully #theplantifulbrunette and tag me in it!

The Helene Marks Library is a collection of age-appropriate reading materials that allow children to begin to develop their language acquisition and recognition skills, emotional response skills, and their oral and visual skills. In addition, reading books is a way for children to connect with one another and enjoy the shared experiences that only a book can provide. (Learn more here about how HMESF is spreading the word about child literacy with the #WeLoveReading photo challenge.)
A little bit about Northside Center for Child Development:
Northside is a nonprofit organization serving NYC since 1948, aimed at fostering the development of children and their families, providing them with education resources, mental health care and other support services. Through their various programs, including Early Head Start for children ages 0 to 3 and Early Intervention, Northside serves over 3,300 NYC children and families each year. They have made such a huge impact for disadvantaged children and families, and it has been an honor to supply Northside with some of the resources they need to help NYC children and families.
It is because of the support of our amazing donors that we are able to supply centers such as Northside with the resources they need to succeed. With this year's grant, Northside Center will be acquiring over 85 new books for their children. Here is a little preview of the types of reading materials that Northside will be able to provide their children.

Boss: Know no bounds
(The blog for the aspiring novice entrepreneur boss)
Own it, Unapologetically
After a lengthy hiatus from the blogosphere, I feel rejuvenated & ready to tackle what may come. I did tons of reflection over these past few months. That period of time was much needed. As they say, distance makes the heart grow fonder. And when you've been away for some time, you really get to find out who you are, who you wanna be, & how badly you want something. I also believe that intermittent periods of soul searching is cleansing for your inner self. And this time away has re-enforced that I want to continue to pursue this side hustle passion of mine. With that being said, one thing that was truly emphasized these past months is that to be your own boss, sometimes that means standing your ground & owning up to what exactly it is that makes you ….YOU.
This means owning up to your likes, your dislikes, what grinds your gears, what enlightens you, how you do things, & how you like things done. In the last 3 decades of my life, life experience has taught me this: many peeps love giving unsolicited advice. People will tell you (deliberately I may add) how things SHOULD be done, how things SHOULD operate, what isn't good, and & how things SHOULDN'T be. It has taken me almost more than 30 years to be able to internalize my thoughts of "Just eat it" to outwardly saying something more respectable such as "that's not how I see it" to get my point across.
In celebration of being your own boss, some pointers of "owning it" is recognizing your quirks, eccentricities, & preferences. In a nutshell, everything about you is what makes up your brand in your small business, & that is important to recognize.
Here are some things that make me, ME; & what makes up SoireeFrillsCo. , the small business that it is today. (The following content frankly reminds me of a high school yearbook entry,…but I loooove high school yearbooks). On a side note, you may find the following content annoying; which in that case, you can choose to discontinue reading (just saying).
Believer in: Unicorn & rainbows, coffee- then life
Lover of: cheesy musicals, burgers with goat cheese, breakfast all day, coffee, cheesy puns
Reality morning ritual: running late, coffee deprived, music blaring in the car
GOALS morning ritual: coffee & podcasts, with a side of crafting & mindfulness
FAVE colour schematics for both fashion & décor: Colourful, bright, mismatched, geometric, oversized
FAVE fashion items: Denim, jackets, fashion (fake) glasses, patches, oversized accessories
What grinds my gears: People who don't follow through; weak coffee, pessimism
Things that motivate me: Other #girlbosses, my kids, criticism
Why I craft: my therapy, it fuels me, I love being part of people's celebrations through my creations
I own way too many: journals/ planners, (sun)glasses, & stamps
Girl jammers: Taylor Swift, Gwen Stafani, Beyonce, Katy Perry
Boy jammers: The Chainsmokers, Maroon Five, Daryl Ong, Pharrell Williams
Guilty pleasure: I love watching Asian TV drama series (And yes, I do talk & scream at the TV; and ask way too many questions- according to my hubby)
5 Personal attributes:
i) I am a night owl; & love my 'me-time' to craft & conjure up new ideas when the rest of my world is sleeping
ii) I love vintage; which is why I love garage sales & thrifting
iii) I am not afraid to do things alone; & quite frankly, I prefer to do most things solo
iv) I see myself as a free spirited bird
v) I am messy, but I can find anything in my mess. And don't you dare touch my piles!
Boom. I said it. I own it. & I'm not apologizing for any of the above.
The bottom line, my friends, is that the more you are comfortable with who you are, the more you will be able to stand your ground, especially in moments when others will question you/ challenge you/ disagree with you/ or will frankly just tell you that you just don't cut it. You define you; & your business.
The secret in this line of business of being your own boss is this: the more real & honest you are, especially with yourself, the simpler & more enjoyable life can be, no apologies necessary. OWN IT! As Flo Rida says, "Welcome to my house".
Yours truly,
Boss-in-training: No-no bounds
(The blog for my growing girls, who I strive to raise strong fierce ladies & soon-to-be-bosses. The 'don'ts, followed by the 'do's').
Soiree Not Sorry
Never apologize for wanting to celebrate. Everyday successes are meant to be acknowledged & celebrated. Don't let other's pessimism minimize the importance of the joy each day can bring. A few months ago, I heard a few adults complaining about how we now live in a culture that goes over the top for birthdays. & then they continued to jibber jabber about how "back in the day, all I had was a birthday cake & candle; & that's all I needed to make me happy….not this orchestra of balloons & backdrops…YADDA YADDA…." & this conversation went on for the next 10 minutes (which by the way, is 10 minutes of narrow-minded negativity I will never get back). While I understand that today's culture presents a different type of pressure for this younger generation of parents , newlyweds, & celebrants of all sorts, there is no need to be harsh about other's people's choices & lifestyle preferences. But that latter thought got me thinking (no need to be harsh about other's people's choices & lifestyle preferences) Who am I to judge if other people are going to be judgy?? Heck, even I can be judgmental… & as this blog post indicates, we all have ideations & opinions; & we can't help it if they may be vastly different than the person sitting next to you. Maybe the point of it all is that people will have varying perspectives, but that doesn't mean you have to change anything about how you feel. This is where this blog post topic resonated: SOIREE, NOT SORRY.
Celebrate big. Celebrate small. Celebrate in any way your inner self desires. Celebrate those main holidays & your birthdays; but also celebrate the days in between. Holidays & birthdays are so far in between that if you waited around for just those celebrations, you would be spending more days in a robotic state of fashion.
Elle & Enne, you know those occasional mornings we sleep in, watch music videos, & dance like maniacs in the living room in our PJs? You should be able to do that, even when it isn't your birthday. You want to have a Trolls themed birthday party with lots of sprinkles on your birthday cake? Done. You want to go to the zoo & have a picnic at the playground just because it's finally sunny? Okay, let's do it! You wanna wear glow in the gear before bedtime just because? Right on. Never let anyone tell you that those are ridiculus ideas.
Don't let others make you feel inferior to wanting to celebrate. Live, love, & laugh. Soiree it up (which by the way, doesn't necessarily needing a hefty wallet). Everyone wants happiness; and that my girls is my wish for you;…to live large & be happy, frills & all, without having to apologize to pursue what makes your heart happy. I will 100% always be there to celebrate in any way you like. Lucky for you, I love making party décor & all that frilly stuff.

Have you tried, bubble tea yet? That slurpy slippery iced tea with tapioca pearls in it? Ok – I realize that 50% of the people reading this are going yum and the other 50% are probably gagging right now…
Slippery food and drink are not appreciated much in the USA, but bubble tea is one of those breakthrough Asian culinary experiences that may be preparing us for more adventures down the slippery food path.
Normally large tapioca pearls, black or green tea, simple syrup, and cream are used to make this super sweet drink. It is served icy cold and you slurp it through a straw large enough to accommodate the size of the pearls.
Most big cities have a bubble tea shop, but I prefer to make a super healthy version of my own, since the sugar and milk are especially good at disrupting hormonal balance.
I use chia seeds for the bubble part since they add slipperiness along with a healthy hit of protein, fat, and fiber.
For the tea I use Bengal Spice, since it already has nice, strong, sweet and spicy flavor and you can skip the sweetener.
For the cream I use full fat coconut milk which goes great with the tea and the fats are great for your thyroid.
Chia Bubble Tea – spicy
1 quart sized mason jar
3 Bengal spice tea bags from Celestial Seasonings, or your favorite tea
3 cups boiling water
3/4-1 cup full fat coconut milk – stir before measuring (BPA free Native Forrest brand), or your favorite unsweetened non-dairy milk
2-3 T chia seeds – depending on how thick you want it
optional: 2 T maple syrup or raw honey, or a little stevia, 1 tsp vanilla

Disturbed Unleashes Powerful Ballad, 'A Reason to Fight'
Disturbed has released the second track off "Evolution," and it's a powerful ballad about addiction
Disturbed is gearing up to release a new album, "Evolution," this fall, and the guys have unveiled a second track from the set. Stream the new song, heartfelt ballad called "A Reason to Fight," and watch the track's music video below.
"The message behind 'A Reason To Fight' is a personal one," Disturbed's David Draiman said in a statement. "We've all seen people that we care about fall victim to addiction. Dan (Donegan, Disturbed's guitarist) sent me a rough idea for the song and it hit home particularly hard."
"I know people who've battled addiction and have seen it in their face—the shame they have—feeling they've let themselves and others down," Donegan said. "We wanted to write a song with a positive message for people in that situation to stay hopeful and not give up the fight, as challenging as it may be. It's an everyday struggle, but there can also be a light at the end of the tunnel."
"The chorus goes, 'When the demon that's inside you is ready to begin and it feels like it's a battle that you can never win, when you're aching for the fire and begging for your sin," Draiman stated. "When there's nothing left inside, there's still a reason to fight.' Hopefully, it's a message that resonates."
Earlier this month, Disturbed released the first single off "Evolution," a fist-pumping rocker called "Are You Ready." "Evolution" will arrive in full on Oct. 19.
Next year is slated to involve a lot of touring for Disturbed. The band recently announced the first cities for their 2019 North American "Evolution" tour. Check out the cities here.

This story is the second in a series introducing the three winners of the health-focused Amsterdam City Fellowship accelerator, which is part of the City of Amsterdam's Social Entrepreneurship Program.
Watch the video below to meet Frank Schalken, founder of VraagApp (Dutch for QuestionApp) who shares the mission of his growing enterprise, his biggest achievements to date, and how the City of Amsterdam and Impact Hub helped VraagApp develop its business model.
Self-reliance for people with cognitive disabilities
More and more people with a lower IQ find our increasingly complex society hard to navigate. And they have questions on topics ranging from topping up their transport card to deciphering complex official letters.
With VraagApp they can send questions about daily challenges to a group of volunteers. The first volunteer to accept a request gets to chat with the asker and to answer their query.
Our app also offers people who want to do good the chance to contribute with flexible volunteering; they decide when and if they can answer the questions they receive. But, no matter what, VraagApp guarantees each user a satisfactory solution within the hour.
VraagApp goes national and secures pilot with City of Amsterdam
We are proud to have launched the app nationally in October 2017. We currently have nearly 120 volunteers, who helped answer more than 170 questions.
People can use the app at cost of just 1 euro per month or receive a license from one of our 6 partners – healthcare institutions and municipalities committed to purchase licenses and distribute them to those whose lives would be made easier by the app.
Thanks to our participation in the Amsterdam City Fellowship, we secured a pilot with City of Amsterdam's Health and Work & Income departments. People with low IQ are a priority for the City, as they often deal with issues such as unemployment. The municipality is looking for easy-to-use solutions, such as VraagApp, which can help prevent bigger problems.
How Impact Hub and the City Amsterdam helped VraagApp grow
It was very helpful to meet other impact entrepreneurs and to discuss about our common challenges. We also enjoyed a few great masterclasses delivered by Impact Hub, on topics such as sales and client acquisition, as well as on making a strategic roadmap for the next year
We also got introduced us to several civil servants within the City of Amsterdam, including Healthcare Policy Advisor Johan de Vries, who became one of our ambassadors. Johan really helped us navigate different municipality departments and to explore opportunities for the pilot we recently secured. This pilot will include people who receive support under the Social Support Act, as well as clients of the Work, Participation and Income department.
You can follow Vraag's next steps on Facebook and Twitter. To stay updated on the City of Amsterdam's work in connecting all players in Amsterdam impact ecosystem, follow Amsterdam Impact on Twitter.
More about the Amsterdam City Fellowship:
The Amsterdam City Fellowship, which is part of the City of Amsterdam's Social Entrepreneurship Program, facilitates collaboration between impact entrepreneurs and the City of Amsterdam. The aim of this close collaboration is to co-create and implement innovative solutions to health-related urban challenges. During an 8-month incubator, which ran until December 2017, impact entrepreneurs developed their innovative products / services and received expert guidance and mentoring from the municipality and Impact Hub's extensive networks.
And after a Business Model Challenge phase – during which we helped participants refine adapt their products to client needs and explore potential sales avenues – VraagApp, Start met Happen and Rain(a)way were selected to continue collaboration with the municipality and work on ensuring that people with cognitive disabilities or living in care institutions feel more supported and empowered, as well as making Amsterdam more climate resilient.

Danica Patrick gets new sponsor, plus multiyear deal with NASCAR team
Danica Patrick didn't have to wait long to find another primary sponsor for her Stewart-Haas Racing team.
Four months after learning that GoDaddy would leave NASCAR after this season, Patrick and her No. 10 Chevy team have landed a new backer: Nevada-based snacks-and-food company Nature's Bakery.
"This is the first year I've had to wonder or worry what I'm going to do in the next year," Patrick said Tuesday. "I've been extremely fortunate in my career to not have to think about that. One deal rolled into the next."
Patrick was speaking at a news conference during which SHR co-owner Tony Stewart also announced even more stability for Patrick in the form of a new multiyear contract.
The sponsorship agreement will cover 28 races a season, beginning in 2016. The remaining eight races likely will be covered by other companies that currently sponsor Patrick's team on a smaller scale.
We all know what the value of what Danica's brand is.
Tony Stewart
Patrick is in her third year with SHR, a team that provided her a first chance at Sprint Cup racing. Although she has had limited success on the track – she is winless in four Cup seasons after coming from IndyCar in 2012 – retaining Patrick was a priority for Stewart.
She is 21st in the points standings this year, not on pace to make the Chase, but in a higher spot than she has finished in previous seasons. She had a season-high seventh-place finish in the spring at Martinsville (Va.) and a ninth-place finish at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway, the site of this weekend's race.
"We all know what the value of Danica's brand is," Stewart said. "Watching her from her IndyCar days, I realized how big a talent she is – more than a marketing tool. We're proud of her progress (and) of what she does behind the race car. She's a great asset to this organization."
The new primary sponsorship will cover 28 races per season.
Patrick said she has been happy at SHR, which also employs drivers Kurt Busch and Kevin Harvick, as well as Stewart, and wasn't looking to leave, despite the temporary sponsorship uncertainty.
"Did I talk to other teams? No," she said. "I really feel fortunate that I didn't have to. I knew this is where I wanted to be. I didn't get to that point."
21st Patrick's place in NASCAR Cup points standings
With expenses constantly rising in NASCAR – it reportedly costs about $20 million annually to run a single team – sponsorship continues to be a key ingredient in the sport.
"It's exciting because we can sleep at night," Stewart said of the Patrick's new deal. "We all know how competitive it is. It is just as competitive – sponsorship – as is on-track performance. It lets us focus on the stuff that we love to do each week now, and that's to try to make our race cars go faster."

First shown at the Royal Court 30 years ago, Jim Cartwright's Road shows us the lives of several people living on an unnamed road in the north of England in 1986. Through a series of vignettes, and led by our drunken guide Scullery (played by Lemn Sissay) we discover the predicaments of the various inhabitants in a time of high unemployment and social hardship. Cartwright depicts perfectly the daily struggles of these people through his gritty and direct text.
The more intimate scenes take place in a large box in the middle of the stage which rises and falls throughout the play. In there, the characters are like caged animals and we observe, almost intrusively, through a one-way mirror. Each scene is extraordinarily powerful. Liz White is heart breaking as she plays Valerie, a young woman awaiting the return of her constantly intoxicated husband. Earlier on, old Molly bumbles around her house getting ready to go out, eking out an existence (this is played magnificently by June Watson). Mark Hadfield delivered a poignant monologue as Jerry, an ex RAF officer, lamenting the backwards progression of life.
Joey and Clare lie in bed, Joey on a 'diet'. In his darkest hour he is desperately searching for some form of enlightenment and is convinced that through fasting he will find something to lift him from the depth of his despair. Clare, his girlfriend, joins him seemingly out of boredom, but also to show her love and devotion towards Joey. The acting in this scene is breathtaking. Faye Marsay and Shane Zaza are outstanding.
Throughout the play there is not a single faulty performance, I'd say without hesitation that this is one of the strongest casts I have ever seen.
Through the combination of this production's marvellous acting, sound design, lighting, set and costume (not to mention the script) it is not difficult to be transported to the mid 80s, and it is easy to believe that we are watching real people on a real road. A wonderful piece of theatre has been created here and I will definitely be calling again at The Royal Court.
There are excellent seats available for £12 in the balcony, with no obvious restrictions for this particular production, and Under 26s can sit in certain places for £15.

Homework to prepare for the discussion of Reader article - "Big Business in the Amazon."
Tuesday's Discussion:
Come to class prepared to share a quote from the article that you thought was the most significant, telling the class what you learned from it. Everyone will share one quote and their thoughts about it. Also, carefully read the article, paying attention to the viewpoints of environmentalists, ranchers, miners, and loggers. You will be put into one of these four groups; be prepared to discuss your group's goals and opinions in front of the class. Questions to think about: What would be the best way for Brazil to develop its economy without compromising its environment? What was the Brazilian government's role in this, and what kind of a role should they play in the future? Who benfits from this...the local people and small garimpeiros or big businesses and the government? Why did Fordlandia and Jari fail? What were some of their misconceptions about the region? Do the products we, as consumers, buy have any effects on the Amazon?
Thursday's Discussion:
Please focus on the following aspects of the reading:
-The use of modern technology in the rainforest
-Temperate vs. Tropical Regions--climate
-Environmental repercussions of big business in the rainforest
-The native people of the rainforest
Friday's Discussion:
Read the assigned article. Review the main points such as environmental effects and the 3 different ventures that are being pursued in the Amazon (and characterisitcs of each.). Think of important comments/points to mention in class, as the class will be split into groups, who will have to present to the rest of the class. Questions to think about..Why did Forlandia and Jari fail? Is there really a compromise between preserving the environment and developing the economy in Brazil? Do we (Americans) affect the situation?

Cooling flows are turbulent (Heckman et al. 1989; Loewenstein & Fabian 1990). In part, this turbulence is due to the multiphase nature of the gas, with denser gas parcels falling in and stirring the rest of the gas. The origin of the density fluctuations is difficult to explain without magnetic fields, as otherwise conduction or gas motions erase the inhomogeneities (Balbus 1991). Conduction in a tangled magnetic field automatically generates a multiphase medium (Tribble 1989, 1992b). The turbulence in the inner regions will stir the gas, stretching and possibly amplifying the magnetic field.
This turbulent stirring will also isotropize the magnetic field. Simple inflow gives a field that is predominantly radial (Soker & Sarazin 1990). The turbulent velocities are much greater than the mean inflow velocity, which is of order 10 km/s, so that a characterization of the flow as a smooth steady inflow is incorrect. Rather, an individual element of gas in the flow is in constant motion. Its shape and orientation are constantly changing, but its mean position falls slowly inwards on a 10^10 yr timescale. The overall effect is isotropic compression of the field. As the gas cools further, the magnetic field becomes stronger and eventually becomes both dynamically and energetically important (Tribble 1991a).
Note that, outside of the central cooling flow region where the field is compressed and amplified by the cooling flow, there is no evidence for a decline in magnetic field strength with radius. The RM profile is consistent with constant magnetic properties, although a decline in field strength could be matched by a rise in scale length (Kim et al. 1991). The overall profile of the Coma radio halo (Kim et al. 1990) is not sharply peaked, so that either the magnetic field strength does not fall much with increasing radius, or the density of relativistic electrons must increase with radius (which seems unlikely).
The origin of the relativistic electrons must also be considered, for even if the electrons have recently diffused into the central region of enhanced field, they can be at most 5x10^8 yr old. This assumes that the break in the electron energy spectrum is given by inverse Compton losses, but that they are now radiating in a 10 field at =90 cm. Either a currently active source (such as the active nucleus in NGC 1275) is required, or the electrons have been reaccelerated.
Reacceleration in the turbulent cooling flow is possible. Second order Fermi acceleration (Fermi 1949) may be sufficient, as the level of turbulence is high. If the clouds have velocities v then the average energy gain per collision is
E / E 2 (v/c)^2 5x10^-6 (v/500 km/s)^2. (3)
This can maintain the relativistic particles in a steady state as long as the collisions are sufficiently frequent. The collision time must be shorter than
t_coll = 5x10^-6 (v/500 km/s)^2 t_age. (4)
For parameters appropriate to the Perseus cluster, second order Fermi acceleration can balance losses as long as the time between collisions is less than 1000 yr.
To be effective, second order Fermi acceleration therefore requires the typical fluctuation scale in the cooling flow to be a few hundred pc or less. Infalling dense regions are broken up by hydrodynamical stresses (Nulsen 1986), until they reach sizes of ~200 pc when further breakup is prevented by magnetic fields (Tribble 1991a). Resolved Faraday rotation observations detect magnetic structures on scales of a few kpc (Dreher, Carilli & Perley 1987; Taylor et al. 1990; Perley & Taylor 1991), although considerable finer scale structure could be present and remain undetected. Therefore, second order Fermi acceleration is just feasible in cooling flows. At the very least, reacceleration will slow the fading of the radio emission and modify the radio spectrum.
Given that second order Fermi acceleration can almost sustain the relativistic electron population, one then naturally wonders whether any more efficient processes are possible. First order acceleration will occur due to straightforward compression in the large scale cooling flow, but this appears inadequate as this will accelerate the electrons on the cooling flow timescale which is very long ~10^10 yr, although Becker (1992) has considered this possibility and concludes that first order acceleration can lead to a sustained minihalo. His success is primarily due to his choice of a 350 km/s inflow velocity at his input radius of 10 kpc, which is rather high for a multiphase cooling flow. Also possible is acceleration within small blobs cooling out of the inhomogeneous flow. As the gas blobs cool they contract and any relativistic electrons that are trapped in the blob will be compressed and accelerated. This may well be important as the cooling and hence contraction and reacceleration timescale for an individual blob of gas can fall below 10^8 yr, so that cooling blobs could accelerate electrons which then diffuse out to the rest of the cooling flow. Other processes that may be important are magnetic field reconnection and shocks in the cooling blobs. I conclude that there are a variety of processes in cooling flows (especially a strong cooling flow like Perseus) that may be able to keep relativistic electrons radiating at observable frequencies.

Despite living by the sea, I still like to go away to the seaside. Whenever we go away, we have to factor in the ferry to the UK from the Isle of Man and then how far we are willing to travel from there onwards. This year, we decided not very far, Charlie isn't a fan of the car at the best of times and I really couldn't take his intense desire to scream at the top of his voice whenever we are in the car for more than an hour or so.
There's actually something I love about UK breaks, especially in Winter. I love cosying up, next to the fire, with a glass of wine, or hopping into the hot tub when it's sub-zero. Hubby and I used to do the lodge escape breaks with Hoseasons and we always HAD to have a hot tub! Therefore, when thinking about planning our Summer break, I turned to Hoseasons, but searched for their family friendly parks. Hoseasons have a range of holiday parks, lodges and cottages to choose from, but for a change we decided to try one of their static caravan parks. When I was a child, it was seen as 'sad' to go and stay in a caravan, but my Mum and Dad bought one of their own touring caravans and it's actually a lot of fun.
So, we decided it would be a caravan park in the North West of England. The North only leaves a few coastal areas and I did NOT want to stay in Blackpool or Morecambe. They are lovely places in their own way, but I wanted something a bit more peaceful than Blackpool and a bit more modern than Morecambe. So, we chose Southport.
The Southport Riverside caravan park is listed as one of their 'Family Fun' parks and what appealed to me about the site was:
- Spa, sauna and steam room!
- Indoor swimming pool
- Adventure play area
- Shop (I have to have a shop on site! Even if it's just for some munchies for the evening)
- Close to the Victorian seaside of Southport
- On site bar (Do I need to explain??)
My parents decided, on hearing we were going in a caravan, to join us, so we decided to club together and pay extra for the Platinum range of caravans. If you're going to do it, may as well do it properly! It's got 3 bedrooms, 1 double and 2 twin (hubby and I will commandeer the double ha!) and they make your beds up for you arrival unlike the other ranges of caravan, so at least we won't need to do that when we get there. There's also a coffee lounge and amusements on site and you can hire bikes.
We are all really looking forward to it. Hubby and I are shattered after this academic year and need a break, to recharge, chill out and spend some quality time together.
A full review will feature in August once we've been on our holiday!
