The following article originally appeared in Mint on 26 November 2018, on the tenth anniversary of the Mumbai attacks.
The 26/11 attack was a watershed moment. It was not the most lethal incident of terrorism in India, or even in Mumbai, which experienced more fatalities in 1993 blasts and the train bombings of 2006. But 26/11 stood out for receiving unprecedented media coverage. The targets were high-profile. Victims from 17 countries lost their lives. These factors had several important consequences.
Firstly, it placed Pakistan at the epicentre of international terrorism. Not only were the perpetrators from Pakistan, but the role of Lashkar-e-Taiba was firmly established, as were links to handlers in ISI. After 26/11, it was not only India crying hoarse about Pakistan's state support for terrorism. Further developments, including the Haqqani Network's attacks on Kabul and the killing of Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad, underscored the role played by Pakistan's security services in fomenting acts of global terrorism.
Secondly, 26/11 resulted in unprecedented international cooperation for India on counter-terrorism. The role of FBI and others in the investigation opened room for bilateral and multilateral cooperation from which India continues to benefit.
Thirdly, the nature of terror attacks against India changed significantly. The years before 2008 witnessed routine terror attacks against civilians in Indian urban centres. After 2008, with a few prominent exceptions, terrorists began to focus more on security installations, such as in Gurdaspur, Pathankot and Uri, that were less likely to invite international opprobrium.
If these changes were decisive, there were other developments that were less so, such as the institutional reform of India's intelligence apparatus. While P. Chidambaram, who became home minister after 26/11, outlined an ambitious programme to overhaul the internal security apparatus, many efforts became mired in issues such as centre-state relations. While India's counter-terrorism capabilities have improved, 26/11 arguably did not result in the wholesale security reforms that had been expected.
The legacy of 26/11 is, therefore, significant. Even though the one surviving perpetrator Ajmal Kasab, was tried, convicted and executed, several key planners remain active in Pakistan. With the passage of time, other developments in Indian security, India-Pakistan relations, and the global environment have threatened to overshadow the events of November 2008. But for global perceptions of Pakistan's support for terrorism, India's transnational security cooperation, and the nature of terrorism in India, the clock has not turned back.

5.5 million years - Ardipithecus, 'proto-human' shares traits with chimps and gorillas4 million years - Australopithecines appeared with brains no larger than a chimpanzee's
"Just today, I got notification of a new paper by Walter Neves and colleagues, in which they suggest that Australopithecus sediba and Homo naledi are actually South African representatives of Homo habilis. Some people might scoff at this—after all, the Dinaledi fossils are only 236,000–335,000 years old, while the latest-known H. habilis is around 1.6 million. But a young date for some fossils doesn't bar them from membership in a species with much older fossil representatives. Identity is tested with morphological evidence, not geological age."

Combatting Human Trafficking Networks within Prison Walls
By Leischen Stelter, editor of In Public Safety
For years, John Meekins* heard inmates talk about how they had been prostituted and held captive by pimps. As a corrections officer, he often considered it part of the lifestyle of many drug abusers, but it wasn't until he attended a conference on human trafficking that he quickly realized many of these inmates were likely victims of human trafficking—and that he had done nothing to stop it.
"What I learned at that conference made me realize we had this problem at the prison where I work," Meekins said. "Once I began to recognize it, I realized I was dealing with human trafficking in one way or another on a regular basis—probably about one or two times a month."
Meekins has been a corrections officer in Florida for more than nine years. After learning more about the signs of human trafficking, he started on a personal mission to investigate what was happening within the prison walls.
"Inmates started coming out of the woodwork telling me they had been trafficked and no one knew about it," he said.
But what he soon discovered went far beyond just a handful of inmates. He found that there was a network of female prisoners actively recruiting other female inmates on behalf of outside pimps.
Pimps Recruiting within Prison Walls
Meekins discovered that pimps use inside recruiters to identify vulnerable women who are getting out of jail soon. After women are recruited, pimps start personal conversations with them (often via mail) offering to take care of them when they are released. The pimps send them money as an act of good faith and then arrange to pick them up.
"The fact is when these women are released from prison after four or five years, they often don't have job skills or even a stable place to go," Meekins said. "That makes them vulnerable."
Pimps often go above and beyond to meet the basic needs of these women: They feed and clothe them and provide them shelter. Pimps often give them their drug fix. In return, the women must pay the pimp back through prostitution. Often they have no option to leave.
"Human trafficking within prison has been happening for a long time, making some of these women slaves on the outside," said Rob Stallworth, who spent 15 years as a parole officer in Virginia and now works for American Military University. "It's definitely a trend that some people inside correctional facilities are seeing, but refuse to talk about."
The Signs of Recruiting Networks
Once Meekins understood that what he was seeing was human trafficking, the signs were very obvious to him. At first, it was eye-opening that much of the communication came right through the prison mailroom. He has now read dozens of letters written by pimps to their recruiters, specifying how many women they must recruit and how much they will be paid for their services. He has also read heart-wrenching letters from former inmates telling their prison friends about what life is like with their pimp.
When Meekins took his evidence to his supervisors, he was told there was nothing to be done: It's not illegal to send prisoners money and in most cases the system cannot legally control who leaves the prison with whom. "It is frustrating because it's so obvious what is happening," he said.
The Challenges of Reporting Human Trafficking
In Meekins' experience, the formal reporting system within many prisons is not tailored to dealing with issues of trafficking.
"When reporting this crime, the problem is that many law enforcement officers and gang investigators don't understand it because they don't speak the language of trafficking and haven't had the proper training," he said. "Human trafficking is really different from other crimes we see in the prison system."
Meekins suggests the most effective way to report information is to call the National Human Trafficking Resource Center Hotline (888.373.7888).
Build Better Communication with Law Enforcement
The collaboration with law enforcement remains weak, at best. Corrections officers are often seen as the "mall cops" of the criminal justice system. "Some police officers turn up their nose at corrections people because we don't have much authority outside of the prison system," he said.
The reality is that corrections officers often gather intelligence from inmates about everything from gang activity to specific crimes and this information can be very valuable to law enforcement. "Corrections people are able to build a rapport with inmates who will often tell us everything we want to know," he said. Law enforcement and corrections agencies need to do a better job of collaborating with one another and sharing such information.
Conduct Education and Training Sessions about Human Trafficking
It is critical for correctional facilities to increase the amount of training about the realities of human trafficking within the prison system. Prison authorities must:
- Educate inmates about human trafficking. Meekins suggests looking beyond your organization and encouraging church groups or other non-NGOs to provide awareness training to inmates.
- Train the staff. Supervisors must educate their staff, especially those who screen phone calls and mail, and educate them about the signs of human trafficking. In Meekins' case, he created posters with information about the indicators of human trafficking.
Meekins continues to spread his message about the prevalence and growth of human trafficking within prisons. He has given numerous presentations about the realities of human trafficking.

Courses in this program are taught by highly credentialed and experienced instructors, many who have served as sheriffs, legal counsel, police chiefs, military, and homeland security and intelligence leaders.
I know from personally being in prison twice that there IS a way to combat this. While I was on a pre-release unit on my way out the door back in 2000,a girl got locked out of her cell ALL of her papers were confinscated & read piece by piece. In those letters she was prostituting through the mail (basically) as she had many many men sending her money, while using pictures that weren't even her. But they read her mail seen that she was telling all these men how much she loved them and was making $1,000's of dollars, even sending money home to her family. So why isn't this routine implemented in finding these pimps before these ladies are released from prison? And sending the women to half/way houses for like 3 months before trusting them alone??? Just my opinion. And btw, this girl was charged with some pretty big charges for prostituting through the mail (I forget the name) something about solicitation to commit prostitution while in a penal institution (something to that effect)?? The same can be done w/ this crime. Just my thoughts on the matter. Good luck on combatting this disgusting crime. Tamara
I must say that this is an eye-opener. After working in corrections for so many years it is easy to mistake what we think it is vs. what it really is. I appears to me that what we believe may be a violation of PREA, and respond as such, may in fact be human trafficking that is taking place. I need to find more information on this subject and learn as much as possible.
Thank you for a very well written and eye opening article!
yes, women are more at risk to being recruited by traffickers, but men, especially the young ones could also be at risk.
Wow. Thank you for this solid information. I'm passing this article along to the Orange County, Florida chaplain that I volunteer with. She runs "Inside Out Jail Ministries" with a team of mentors. We all need to be on the look-out for this and guide the ladies well. Blessings, Jo

Fireworks mistaken for gunshots prompt scare at Florence Mall
So far, no arrests have been made
So far, no arrests have been made
So far, no arrests have been made
Firecrackers set off inside Florence Mall prompted a lockdown around 4 p.m. Tuesday, police said.
Capt. Tom Grau, with the Florence Police Department, said the fireworks were mistaken for gunshots, prompting a scare inside the mall.
"You can see in the video, the people right there who saw it happen were looking like, 'Are you kidding?' but down farther, people are either running or they're getting under booths or running to the bathrooms or locking themselves in rooms," Grau said.
It is believed that the firecrackers were lit near the food court of the mall, causing a panic inside.
Police said the reports of shots fired inside the mall resulted in a massive police response.
Grau said officers talked to several witnesses and were able to confirm through surveillance video that firecrackers – not gunshots – caused the brief panic.
Witnesses told investigators about the man's behavior after he set off the fireworks.
"Whatever he had in his hand, he dropped it and actually had his phone out videotaping himself doing it and there are some other witnesses say when he was running out of the mall, he was videotaping himself running out of the mall as well," Grau said.
Grau said they believe they know who lit the fireworks, and are interviewing witnesses.
So far, no arrests have been made.
Officials said they are searching for a black man with a stocky build in his late teens or early 20s in connection with the incident. He was last seen wearing a peach- or pink-colored polo shirt, gray shorts and white tennis shoes.
Micah King was outside the mall around 4 p.m. while police cruisers were still on there.
"Walking in, mall security was tight. There was a lot of people frantic acting like something crazy had happened," King said.
"People were really tense, people seemed like they had their guard up mostly when I walked around. Usually when you walk around the mall you see happy faces. This time it was different, you could tell that there was a sense of fear and intensity in the air."
No one was injured.

|GVK players celebrate a kill by Carlsson (10)
FINAL SCORE: Engelholm 3 - Gislaved 0 (25-17, 26-24, 25-12)In the third set, GVK fought but nothing went their way. Par on course, Engelholm won the match ball due to a GVK player was on the net.
|Sanna Schultz led GVK with 10 points
"It feels tough to end [the season] like this. Everyone wants to perform as well as possible, but I do not think we did that today. We can do better," says Sanna Schultz.
But Gislaved gave league-favorite Engelholm a run for their money.
In the first set, the teams played even to 13-13, then EVS took control.
Good second set
With luck, GVK could have won the second set. But again it was a home team win, 26-24.
"We played well at times, but we are a bit too much up and down in our game. We are amazingly good when we are good, but then bottom out."
What is that?
"If I knew, the match maybe wouldn't have ended this way," says Schultz.
Yes, up and down it was.
After a great second set, everything crumbled for GVK. Engelholm cruised to a 25-12 victory.
"I do not really know what happened. It feels a bit like the air went out of us after the second set."
|Lauren Rafdal (3) and Jollan Åkerlund (7) block against EVS
"We should certainly have given them a better match and maybe win a few more sets."
Did you enter the quarterfinals thinking that you might upset Engelholm?
"Definitely! We have won sets against them before and shown that we can challenge them. But it requires that all our players are at their absolute peak at the same time," says Schultz.
|With the loss, GVK ends their 2014/15 season
IMPACT PLAYERS//GISLAVED Sanna Schultz 10 points (7 kills, 2 aces, 1 block), MVP Lauren Rafdal 9 points (7 kills, 2 blocks)

5G for Ubiquitous Connectivity
Recently, the more cold resistant part of cellular industry and academia gathered for the 1st International Conference on 5G for Ubiquitous Connectivity in Levi, Finland hosted by University of Oulu.
Levi is a good 150 km north of Rovaniemi, where Santa Claus is supposed to be busy these days, so white winter had already arrived. The conference had an encouraging number of presentations with "Energy Efficiency" in the title. A sign that network energy performance and a strive toward low energy consumption is becoming an integrated part of the necessary performance aspects of future cellular systems. However, on one hand, the connection between ubiquitous connectivity and coverage and, on the other hand, energy consumption is not yet generally understood. So Ericsson used the participation in the panel discussion to highlight not only the demanding peak performance requirements, but also that most places have considerably lower traffic most of the time. This is the true challenge of a cellular system and the sweet spot when striving to reduce energy consumption in cellular networks. Legacy standards are very much designed with equipment that is "always on" in mind.
However, for some years we have worked on concepts and products more adapted to be "always available." The latter has resulted in that Ericsson has recently released two new features with their roots in our work in the EU EARTH project, Micro Sleep Tx and MIMO Sleep Mode. However, the focus of this conference was 5G which is rather connected to "always optimized" and the possibility to integrate energy performance considerations from the beginning in this standard. Always optimized could be the result from 5G "lean transmission" with a minimal static control plane and full multi-antenna optimization for massive beam forming and massive MIMO only when required.

BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Moravian advanced to the title round of the Landmark Conference softball championships with a 4-1 victory over The University of Scranton in the second game of the afternoon for both teams on Friday. The top-seeded and 11th ranked Greyhounds (31-5) will have two opportunities to claim the conference title tomorrow while the second-seeded Royals (32-10) need three straight victories to win the championship.
Scranton will play for a spot in the championship round at 12:00 p.m. tomorrow against the winner of Saturday morning's first elimination contest between Susquehanna and Catholic.
Moravian took a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning of Friday's winner's bracket game with three hits and an error by the Royals, but Morgan Rentzheimer (Allentown, Pa./Parkland) prevented any further damage by getting an inning-ending fly out with the bases loaded.
Kaitlyn Brogan (Oreland, Pa./Saint Basil Academy) and Megan Zinn (Bridgewater, N.J./Bridgewater-Raritan) opened the top of the third inning with back-to-back singles and moved to second and third on a sacrifice bunt from Mackenzie Duffy (Wilkes-Barre, Pa./Lackawanna Trail). Anna Price (Bordentown, N.J./Bordentown Regional) then brought Brogan in with an RBI groundout to cut Scranton's deficit to 2-1.
After the Royals stranded a pair of runners in the visitor's fourth, the Greyhounds restored their two-run advantage with a two-out RBI single in the home half of the frame before adding another insurance run the following inning on an RBI double.
Scranton brought the tying run to the plate with two outs in the seventh inning, but a deep fly out ended the game in favor of Moravian.
Rentzheimer tossed her 17th complete game of the spring and 60th of her career, suffering the loss with three earned runs against on seven hits and two walks while fanning a pair of batters.
Brogan led the Royals by going 2-for-3 with a pair of singles and a run scored while Zinn, Duffy, Maggie Donnelly (New Hyde Park, N.Y./Our Lady of Mercy Academy) and Brianna Lehr (Byram Township, N.J./Pope John XXIII Regional) had a single each in the loss.

Sunday battle won by curry house at last
PUBLISHED: 17:09 13 May 2009 | UPDATED: 16:40 25 August 2010
AN INDIAN restaurateur has won a 15-year battle with a council to open on Sundays.
AN INDIAN restaurateur has won a 15-year battle with a council to open on Sundays.
Nurul Hussain, owner of Moghul Tandoori restaurant, in Main Road, Sidcup, first appeared in the Bexley Times in 1995, frustrated by the council's continual denial of a Sunday licence.
After councillors revised the ruling on March 26, the 40-year-old celebrated by throwing a Sunday lunch for 75 regulars including TV pundit Garry Bushell.
Mr Hussain said: "I'm pleased that they have finally come to their senses, but it is a bittersweet victory because they could have done this years ago.
"We have a lot of very loyal customers who were joined by Sidcup High Street Promotion Group and Mr Bushell.
"He's a regular and likes to get takeaways from us. He took some cooking tips from us when he appeared on Britain's Best Dish.
"Unfortunately he ended up trying to make a spicy mash pie. He should have made a vindaloo."
Moghul attracts a hardcore of around 70 regular customers each day of the weekend, claimed Mr Hussain.
The article written by the Bexley Times in the '90s provoked a lot of response from customers and when Mr Hussain applied for a Sunday licence this year many wrote in support.
The father-of-three, who worked at the restaurant since it opened in 1985, said: "We have some fantastic regulars who bring their families here every week who are curryholics.
"I sometimes see people coming in with a tan and they tell me they've come straight from the airport after a holiday, dying for a curry.
"It's like they're addicted. I hope we'll be around for the next 20 years for them."
Fighting a 'never ending battle', Mr Hussain said he now hopes to convince councillors to allow him to take over an empty shop unit next to his.
He added: "We're in a recession - they need to encourage businessmen to expand, not hold them back."
Moghul can now open until 9pm on Sundays. For more information visit www.themoghul.co.uk or call 020 8302 0665.

World War 1 Centenary Exhibition - 2015
A major exhibition on the centenary of WWI, featuring contributions from the Western Front association and four local Billericay Junior schools - Buttsbury, Quilters, ST Johns, St Peters.
The Great War Exhibition
As part of our club members' support to valuable organizations in our community, the Chairman and Treasurer positions of the Reading Rooms Trustees are filled by our club's own Immediate Past President Keith Wood and Treasurer Mike Sinclair, and other members have contributed their time and effort to help support the trustees.
The Billericay Reading Rooms are historic premises located at 73 High Street, Billericay, Essex. From an initial meeting of wealthy landowners, professional men and local tradesmen in March 1864 which committed attendees to raise funds to help educate and improve the conditions for the people of Billericay, it took until 1886 before enough funds were raised to allow the present Rooms to be built. The Rooms were finally opened to the public (with books to read and social events for all) on the lst April, 1887. Funds continued to be raised by social events for the furnishing of new books and magazine.
The rooms celebrated the 150th anniversary of that first meeting, one year ago with a Victorian Event opened by John Baron MP. All the Trustees dressed in Victorian costume and they were joined by children from 4 local schools, Buttsbury Junior, Quilters Junior, St. John's and St. Peter's, also in period dress. The school children produced displays about Billericay in the 19th Century, a newspaper, wall-hangings, models of high street houses and shops, made various types of chocolate to be sampled and a display of needlework and slates similar to those used in schools of the period.
This year, helped by a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) under the First World War: Then and Now programme, the Trustees are holding an Exhibition over the weekend of 6th, 7th, 8th March 2015 to mark the centenary of WW1.
Andy Maddocks, Grants Trustee at the Reading Rooms who led the drive to secure Funding said "We are extremely grateful to the Heritage Lottery Fund for their continued support, which enables us to continue working with the pupils and teachers of the four schools in another very worthwhile and important Project."
Children from these same four local Billericay schools have researched specific aspects of the War and its effects on the local Community and created exhibits to display their work. Each school is concentrating on separate issues, covering the production of a newspaper during the wartime period, Nutrition - availability of food both at home and on the battlefields, Fashions of the period including uniforms and the ability to obtain material etc. and finally Residents of Billericay at that time, including Businesses in and around the Town - have any survived? The Western Front Association also had a major stand and display, highlighting the area where the war was fought, the contribution of the Essex Regiment and a considerable amount of other relevant information.
The exhibition opened on Friday morning with an introduction by Trustee Chairman Keith Woods in the presence of distinguished guests the Lord Petre, Billericay MP John Baron, Town Council Chairman John Buchanan, Town Crier Jim Shrubb and members of the Trustees and their guests.
John Baron, Member of Parliament for Billericay, then added his comments, formerly opening the exhibition and giving tribute to the work done by the Trustees and in particular, Andy Maddox and Sheila Pullin, and congratulating the schoolchildren on the superb work they had done to create the displays.
All the Trustees were dressed in period costume of the time - soldiers, nurses, gentlemen etc. - which greatly added to the atmosphere of the exhibition.
Now closed, the exhibition attracted a continuous stream of visitors from members of the public, attracted by the opportunity to learn more about this period of our history.

Director: Kevin Smith
Writer: Kevin Smith (Screenplay)
Starring: Michael Angarano, Nicolas Braun, Kyle Gallner, Ronnie Connell, Kaylee DeFer, Melissa Leo, Michael Parks, Stephen Root, John Goodman
Plot: The teenager Jarod invites his best friends Travis and Billy-Ray to have a foursome with a thirty-eight year-old woman. While driving to meet the woman, Travis hit a car parked on the road. When they meet the woman, she gives spiked beer to them and they pass out. When the three friends wake up, they find that they are trapped in the fundamentalist Five Points Trinity Church of the infamous Pastor Abin Cooper and that they will be killed. Meanwhile the church is under siege by ATF agents led by Agent Joseph Keenan that have been ordered to destroy the terrorist cell. Will the teenagers be saved by the agents of the law enforcement agency?
Verdict: What Happened?
Story: Let's look at this, right we start off with three school friends going to get a foursome with an older lady, drugged and tricked they get taken to a compound to be eliminated from the world by a cult like family. Sounds like the horror side is working nicely here. We then have them try and escape bringing in a new side to the story with the law trying to stop the family. This is where things got confusing because I thought I was watching a horror film. The film suddenly turns into a near half film long shootout between the house and the law. That is basically all that happened from what I could tell.
Now this takes a lot away from the story, we lose the horror side completely and the action side seems to start from absolutely nowhere. Sometimes this works for a film, but in this case it really didn't work, the only positive I found from the story is that we just didn't know who would get killed off next with nearly all the deaths being shocks. I feel a couple of extra chapters would help this film to have had a completer feel but the genre bouncing really doesn't help it out. (5/10)
Actor Review
Kyle Gallner: Jarod guy with the plan who sets up the road trip, also the one who has to be put through the most but in the end he has to team up with the younger generation of the family to escape with his life. Spends most of his time tied up and when free he is just an annoying kid who thinks swearing will get his point over. (5/10)
Michael Angarano: Travis driver on their little road trip who ends up being captured like this friends and has to do everything to make sure he survives. When you look at teenage performance you have the standard here, against his family, learning and disrespectful. (6/10)
Nicolas Braun: Billy-Ray it would be say he is the butt of most of the jokes, he is the first to get free but in the end he panics and shows his real loyalty to his friends. Disposable supporting character who offers nothing to the film. (4/10)
Michael Parks: Pastor Abin Cooper leader of the family who constantly goes against gays believe their beliefs will give them a chance to get into a heaven of their dreams. He has brain washed everyone into believing his way is right and will not let any sinners get in his way. I think he was the highlight of the film with his excellent performance as the leader of the group, he always stays calm whichever situation is occurring and gives an incredible speech which draws you into what he is preaching. (8/10)
John Goodman: Agent Joseph Keenan tasked with trying to stop the group but when things go wrong he is assigned to take everyone out, no questions. Good performance from Goodman who always shines when on screen. (7/10)
Director Review: Kevin Smith – We all know Kevin Smith has the ability to push the boundaries and this tries to cross subgenres, the only thing is it doesn't quite come off. You can see little bits that shows a Smith trademark but in all honesty the films feels almost unfinished. (4/10)
Action: Plenty of action during the shootout that last for a long time. (7/10)
Horror: Starts promising with the capture leading to the idea of torture and killing of the school kids but ends up disappearing in the second half. (3/10)
Settings: Most of the film is set at the church compound which works because we know the people involved are too far way to get any extra help. (8/10)
Special Effects: Some good effects with certain well placed gun shots. (4/10)
Suggestion: I feel because of the genre cross this will be hard for either fans to really get into and I fail to find any type of fan to suggest this too. (Action or Horror Fans Try)
Best Part: Michael Parks is great
Worst Part: Genre change.
Believability: The cults like this are real but would it end like this, I think not. (2/10)
Chances of Tears: No (0/10)
Chances of Sequel: No
Post Credits Scene: No
Oscar Chances: No
Box Office: $1 Million
Budget: $4 Million
Runtime: 1 Hour 28 Minutes
Tagline: An unlikely film from that Kevin Smith
Overall: Messy Action Horror

We've raised £170 to Fundraise For Volunteering In South Africa, Kruger National Park
- Funded on Sunday, 23rd December 2018
What is crowdfunding?
Crowdfunding is a new type of fundraising where you can raise funds for your own personal cause, even if you're not a registered nonprofit.
The page owner is responsible for the distribution of funds raised.
In January I leave everything behind to embark on an exciting new adventure, volunteering in South Africa at Kruger National Park for two months starting in January 2019.
The project I am volunteering on is on the Balule game reserve in the Greater Kruger National Park, where I will be volunteering on the wildlife conservation research and reserve management project. This is a hugely worthwhile project where I will work on several different projects from animal counts, data collection of bird life and reserve maintenance.This volunteering work is vital and the money that is fundraised for the project supports the conservation efforts of the area.
The park is facing serious problems with a surge in poaching, tourist development and elephant population explosion. Last year 333 rhinos were killed illegally for their horn; by march this year 73 had already been shot
That's a rhino a day, lost to poachers.
But to help make a difference, I need your help! Any contribution you can spare, no matter the size, can help fund the project in South Africa.
I am extremely passionate about this project and would love to talk to anyone about what their money would be going towards.
Thank you in advance for your contributions towards this incredible project.

Build the platform; launch the payload.
Sounds like NASA talk, doesn't it? It isn't rocket science: the reason you build a launch platform is to put something into space.
Last Thursday/Friday, I was in Vancouver (Canada), speaking at the Entrepreneurial Leaders Conference (go to site for info). The focus of the event was to equip, connect and inspire Christian entrepreneurial leaders. The Master's Program in Canada was one of the sponsors; I was there to help my Canadian colleague, Chris Hornibrook, to expose leaders north of the border to TMP.
The main speakers included business school profs, notable Canadian business icons… and two imports from the U.S: me, and Mark Burnett. One of those needed no introduction.
Survivor. The Apprentice. Shark Tank. The Voice. Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader. People's Choice Awards. When you've made your mark in Hollywood as an Executive Producer with a portfolio of multi-season network hits, doors open and iPhone photos digitize the moment – everywhere you go. What was Mark Burnett doing at a Christian business leaders' event in Vancouver?
The emphases were compelling; the fast-pitch speakers addressed the leadership challenge found in both Career, and Calling. Being the innovative risk taker – the classic distinction of entrepreneurship – is the natural pursuit of these unique champions, whether going for market share in the commercial arena, or pursuing "fruit that will last" on behalf of the Kingdom.
Burnett and his wife, Roma Downey (Touched by an Angel), were both on the program in Vancouver. Their contribution was not theoretical; their journey fit the bill, perfectly.
Years of professional pursuit and achievement in broadcast entertainment have this dynamic couple at the level achieved by few: they meet the metrics of success. They've also created a strong marriage, founded on a common personal faith in the Lord Jesus. Their entertainment products have been G/PG rated, allowing them to maintain integrity in the work that bears their names. But, was doing their career in a Christian manner enough to satisfy their appetite for Eternity?
Burnett gave a powerful picture of the risk they embraced when – together – they exposed their vision for The Bible, bringing the story of the Scriptures into a 10-hour miniseries, designed to introduce people who are biblically illiterate to the greatest story ever told. Both Mark and Roma used the C-Word – Calling – to describe their drive for that production.
Turned-down by the networks, they took the concept to the History Channel and got the go-ahead. A budget of $20 million; filming in Morocco; the challenge of compressing thousands of years and hundreds of stories – from 66 books – into a cogent handling of the inspired text: would it fly, with the fickle television audience?
The Bible became the number one new series on cable television in 2013; it has now been seen by over 100 million viewers. According to 20th Century Fox, The Bible ranks as the top mini-series event – ever – in the first week of release.
They overshot the footage for the New Testament story of Jesus, and had to leave much of what they created from the Gospels out of The Bible because of the time constraints. What do you do with too much of Jesus unseen by the audience?
Well… you push your chips back to the center of the table and take another risk: Son of God – the movie – will come to theaters in late February (click here for information). Distributed by 20th Century Fox, the success of The Bible has the potential to make Son of God even more powerful than The Passion of the Christ was, ten years before. What if people could meet Jesus at a theater?
Build your platform, in your career. For many, that will allow you to find – and, exploit – a Calling that brings even greater meaning and purpose to your marketplace pursuits. From Apprentice to the Master; from Carpenter to Messiah: there are great examples to challenge your thinking…

The most important issue before starting a mobile hairdressing business you must be a hairdresser.
How to become a hairdresser or a barber
There are three ways of qualifying as a hairdresser.
- Become an apprentice in a salon.
Being an apprentice means you can learn the trade and also make money. You get to spend time and watch skilled and experienced people on the job, ask questions and get answers on the spot. If you need any kind of help you have a support system to rely on. To find out more on apprenticeships please visit the gov.uk website or click here.
- Gain an NVQ
An NVQ (National Vocational Qualification) is recognised qualification which attests to your skill set. NVQs have different levels. If you have no experience in hairdressing you should start with a Level 1 and build up from there. A Level 1 NVQ in Hairdressing and Barbering covers areas oh health & safety , maintaining work areas, preparing for hair services and how to shampoo and condition hair. The Level 1 Certificate is a great way to start which can lead to a hairdressing assistant job. There are 4 Levels to be gained. If you want to find out more on the qualification please visit the City & Guilds website or click here.
- Foundation degree in Hairdressing
Foundation degrees are usually designed in partnerships with potential employers. This means you get up to date information and practices and upon completion you should be armed with the latest skills and trends. There are multiple degrees and certificates and you can specialise in either hairdressing or barbering. Have a look on the Cornwall College website for their courses.
You have the qualification or you have the experience you just need to know if a mobile hairdressing business is a good idea.
Is mobile hairdressing for you?
- Being a mobile hairdresser means you are self employed therefore you work for yourself. There is no one to rely on to cover shifts or fix any mistakes. You must have confidence in your hairdressing skills and also in your time management skills.
- You have flexibility! There is no 9AM-5PM schedule.
- You can build strong relationships with your customers.
- No rent or bills to pay for an actual location.
- Travel might be expensive depending on the areas you cover.
- Must have a car.
- No constant workflow. You may have really busy days and then some quiet periods.
If the positives above over-weigh the negatives you might as well give it a try.
The boring stuff: self-employment, bookkeeping, insurance etc.
- Registering as a self-employed person is easy and can be done online. It takes less then 5 minutes. Click here to go to gov.uk to register.
- Bookkeeping is not as hard as it used to be since the 'invention' of cash accounting. Cash accounting is basically money in minus money out equals profit. You can hire someone to get this done for you or if you want to keep your costs down you could just do it yourself. There are apps that can help you keep track of all your payments and expenses which automatically create the self-assessment report when it needs submitting. The best app so far is Quickbooks Self-Employed. You can easily manage everything on the go.
- You must have public liability insurance. This usually covers any legal fees and compensation in case you injure or cause any loss to a client. Also, you may add equipment cover to protect your hairdressing tools in case of theft or damage.
The technical stuff: website, advertising, social media and SEO
Starting your own website can be a challenge if you are not IT savvy. You have to consider website hosting, website building and indexing. If you have the skills you could do it yourself however if it feels daunting just thinking about it you will have to pay someone to do it for you.
A good website should have your services, your price list, testimonials, contact information and if possible, a way to book your services. It is quite an investment for a start-up mobile hairdressing business. If this is too much for you, you can start by creating an account on our platform and list your services here free of charge. We don't charge membership or set up fees either. We only charge a small percentage per appointment received through our platform.
Your listing could look like this:
To register for an account with please click here.
Word of mouth can only go so far. You need to print leaflets and business cards. A cheap way of getting these done is through VistaPrint. You can design your own flyers using their templates, pay and have them delivered to your door. Afterwards there is a bit of legwork needed. Go to your local shops or local businesses with an advertising board and ask if you can put some up. You can also have a little wonder and just put some through the mailbox in your surrounding area.
Online adverts are OK however if you are thinking of Google Ads or Bing Ads and Facebook Adverts they will cost you some £££.
Social Media: Facebook, Twitter and Instagram
What is a business without social media?
Create social media accounts for your mobile business. Keep the pages updated with your availability and any recent work. You have to get followers and likes to your pages so ask invite your friends to like and follow you. From time to time you can also ask them to share your posts. This is how you build a network of people.
SEO : What is that? Search Engine Optimisation
SEO is all to do with your website. It is how a search engine ranks your website when customers input a search query. Using the right keywords means your website will show in the search results for the right customers.
With a Bargains Finder listing we manage the SEO for you and ensure your listing is SEO friendly and relevant to the right audience.
The fun stuff: equipment, products, brands etc.
We can't add much here as this is your area of expertise however here are a couple of things to remember when shopping for your business:
- Your equipment must be professional quality
- Ensure you are comfortable with using the equipment
- You need to have a stock of hair products: shampoo, conditioner, hairspray etc. Ensure these are trustworthy brands especially if you provide services as bleaching, dyeing or perms. These can cause serious damage to hair in general.
- Don't start buying randomly. Check out your competition or your nearest salon. Take inventory of what they use, write down your shopping list and search for the best prices.
We hope this article is a helpful guide to all motivated hairdressers or barbers in Cornwall looking to expand their customer base and to those looking to start a mobile hairdressing business.

Why colleges must change how they teach calculus
Math departments fail too many calculus students and do not adequately prepare those they pass. That is the message heard from engineering colleges across the country. Calculus has often been viewed as a tool for screening who should be allowed into engineering programs. But it appears to be failing in that regard, too.
What a Pentagon Report from the Year 2000 Got Right About Cyber War
The defense secretary for a newly elected president is entering his third month in office when a chilling report crosses his desk warning of the catastrophic damage an enemy could visit on the U.S. with a cyberattack. Such an attack, the report warns, could cripple the U.S. economy. It could strike with no warning. It could be launched asymmetrically by an enemy that's much weaker than the U.S. in traditional military might.
NSB releases policy companion statement on U.S. need for STEM-capable workforce
Today, the National Science Board (NSB, Board) released its policy companion statement to Science and Engineering Indicators 2018, "Our nation's future competitiveness relies on building a STEM-capable U.S. workforce." The statement underscores the Board's view that growing the nation's science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce is critical for our economy and global competitiveness. It offers recommendations for strengthening a diverse STEM-capable U.S. workforce inclusive of all levels of education.
Afterschool and Workforce: Opportunities for System - Level Alignment
Employers in every sector have emphasized the need for a well-rounded, highly skilled workforce. Recent survey data indicates that over 90% of business leaders think American workers are not as skilled as they need to be. According to the Business Roundtable, CEOs around the country have noticed a particular gap in "employability skills" such as effective communication, critical thinking,teamwork, and problem-solving. To address this gap, youth development leaders, including those in the afterschool sector, have worked to provide high quality skill-building experiences inside and outside of the classroom.
Coding as a Literacy for the 21st Century
The idea of teaching coding to children is not new. Back in the late 1960s, my mentor at MIT, Seymour Papert, developed the first programming language for children, called LOGO. Although computers were big, expensive machines that occupied full rooms, Seymour anticipated that the technology would get smaller and the thinking bigger. That is to say, children could learn how to think in new ways by programming these devices. At the time, this was a novel idea. Today, few people would disagree with this statement.
Why is STEM Important? Why Do We Keep Talking About it?
STEM is important because our world depends on it. The economy, our general well-being—it's all backed by science, technology, engineering, and math. Thus, when we refer to STEM, it's not just coding and lab coats. It's the underpinning of manufacturing, food production, health care, and so much more that frankly, we might take for granted, but surely can't live without.
Virtual Reality 'Class Kits' Expected to Gain Foothold in U.S. Schools
More than 15 percent of U.S. schools are forecast to have a VR class kit by 2021, and globally more than 70 million K-12 students are expected to have a VR experience in school in that year, Davis said. China's K-12 market is also expected to see significant VR adoption in the mid- to long-term, he said.
Windows And The Future Of Education
Getting kids technology that is more focused on education than entertainment and questionable communication and assuring they know how to use it is therefore critical to their, and our, future. Microsoft this week announced 10 Products that use Windows 10 S that are both more affordable and safer than most other alternatives.
Meet the 2018 U.S. News STEM Leadership Hall of Fame
U.S. News & World Report is pleased to announce the 2018 STEM Leadership Hall of Fame, named in advance of this year's U.S. News STEM Solutions Presents Workforce of Tomorrow conference, which will be held April 4-6 in Washington. U.S. News looked for leaders who have achieved measurable results in the science, technology, engineering and math fields; challenged established processes and conventional wisdom; inspired a shared vision; and motivated aspiring STEM professionals.
As schools continue to digitize and automate, where do teachers fit in?
Advances in technology have meant a world of change in schools. Yes, proponents of "disruption" tend to argue that students are basically sitting in time capsules from the industrial era, but technology has made schools look and run very differently, both on the operations side and the instructional side.

I am having my house professionally painted. The painter at first said that he would be taking down the rain gutters and painting behind them and then re-installing them. The boards behind the gutters appear to be in good shape but can you tell with out taking down the gutters? If the gutters are removed would there be a problem with re-installing them in the same screw holes?

Purilens is what helped me!
When I first got my sclerals, I used Addipak, which burned upon insertion. I found this store & spoke with Rebecca, who suggested Purilens, and it truly helped me with so many issues I had. 1. It didn't burn. 2. My lenses stayed comfortable. 3. It stopped the fogging I had constantly when I used Addipak.
I've tried ScleralFit which is good as well, but Purilens is more cost effective, so it's my #1 product. NOTE FROM REBECCA: Thanks for posting! - Rebecca

Like most my age, I started with Street Fighter II and Mortal Kombat. I was in the "SF is better than MK" group, because... well, because on a technical level SFII is a far superior Fighter than any of the classic MK games, which relied on simple button mashing and ludicrous, cartoon violence to shift copies rather than fine-tuned gameplay. I liked them both enough to play regularly, but eventually got sick of it all once 'Hadouken' (and related attacks) became common knowledge.
You know what kids are like when they learn a new trick. It's all they ****ing do.
I used to play Tekken a fair amount too. On release, I instantly preferred it over SF/MK, because it was so much harder to be a cheap spammy bastard with special moves, the 3D space allowed side-stepping shenanigans from day one (or at least it did with Kazuya), and the lack of projectiles almost completely removed the 'oh no I will just jump away and throw shit at him' tactic when you were close to chewing the floor (Yoshimitsu still had something very far-reaching though, and no that's not some dirty innuendo, you gutter-dweller).
Then around T5, I sort of just lost interest, because things started getting 'typically Japanese*' and silly for what started as a relatively serious Fighter, with ONE OF THE WORST FINAL BOSS FIGHTS EVER. **** you Jinpachi.
Around that time I also got into the DBZ Budokai series, B3 in particular. While this almost makes me a hypocrite (it's the definition of 'typically Japanese' -- but seeing as it's a game based on a manga/anime I was expecting it here because it works -- and DBZ is notorious for having almost every goddamn character throwing fireballs and energy beams/blasts all over the place at every opportunity), the gameplay was radically different from any other sort of Fighter; you could fly freely and teleport to dodge attacks, for a start, so just spamming Kamehameha waves would get you nowhere. And you would drain all your Ki and recieve a literal flying kick to the gob in return.
It was fast, ridiculously addictive, and just plain ****ing fun to play.
You didn't even have to be particularly good at B3 to enjoy it. Just get a room of people together, start a tournament mode, and listen as everyone shouts and swears and really wants to win. Great game, one that I have a lot of time for.
*This is really difficult for me to explain, so I won't bother. Some of you might understand, some of you might call me a stupid racist bastard (and you'd be very wrong if you did), but I simply don't give a shit either way. That's my reason and I'm sticking with it.
"It turned out that the ghost was just Mr. Finley, who ran the amusement park. The spooky part is that, as soon as the ghost appeared, the teenagers' dog began to speak! And it spoke in a tortured parody of human speech: 'relp me, Raggy,' it would say. 'I am an abomination and rould re rilled. Rill re, Raggy.'"
Original Street Fighter games come to mind. Those were always fun.

Action Potential
Action Potential is the phenomenon of how neurons transmit signals from one neuron to the next. Before a neuron receives a signal, there is high concentration of dissolved sodium ions outside the cell membrane of the neuron, and a high concentration of potassium ions on the inside. When the dendrite of a pre-ganglionic neuron receives a chemical signal at the synapse, the post-ganglionic neuron creates opens the channels that allow these ions to travel through the cell membrane. Positively charged potassium ions are pumped out of the cell, while negatively charged sodium ions are let into the cell. These processes are not happening at the same rate, and rely on different cell "machinery" to happen.
The inside of the cell is relatively negative in comparison to the outside. The cell starts out as mostly neutrally charged both inside and directly outside of the cell membrane, but as more ions are pumped in and out, the electrical charge of the cell becomes more and more polarized. When this polarization reaches a certain threshold, the cell "fires" an electrical signal from the cell body, down the axon, and to the axon terminal, where it is again converted into a chemical signal to be received by the next neuron. This is called the all or nothing response; if the threshold is never reached, the signal is never sent.
The piece has 5 parts, all performed individually but compiled and stacked on top of each other to become an ensemble. Different parts play different "roles" in terms of being harmonic or melodic, while others establish rhythm or textural context. I wrote this piece with the specific intention of performing all of the parts separately, and knew that Christian's skill as a producer would help bring the piece together. We did our best to make it sound as if an ensemble were playing, and worked to bring out the different and interesting bits of each part while maintaining the blend of the "ensemble." The piece almost linearly follows the timeline of action potential, starting from a "resting" neuron that isn't receiving a signal, receiving a signal and building tension (electronegativity) and then quickly releasing the electrical signal down the axon. The piece ends as it started, a neuron at rest.

"All human wisdom is summed up in two words – wait and hope." ~ Alexandre Dumas Pere
The April 15th income tax filing deadline has come and gone. But last Friday, income tax was not at all what I was pre-occupied with. Rather it was publishing statistics that were at the top of my list. I am wondering – is the non-traditional publishing industry still continuing to grow?
Typically, after the first quarter of the New Year, www.Bowker.com, the storehouse for all bibliographical information, releases its report on the health of the publishing industry for the previous year. On Friday I researched on-line to see whether the 2010 statistics had yet been made available. I can not find them. But I am hopeful that when the truth is known, it will be as positive as for the year 2010 as it was the year before.
When the 2009 reports were made known in April 2010, I was astonished to learn that despite our country's economic downturn, the independent publishing industry (non-traditional publishing) had grown at an aggressive rate – up 181% between 2008 and 2009. However, traditional publishing remained flat.
I am going to cut www.Bowker.com some slack and be patient. After all, just because they released their figures last year by the 15th of April, does not mean I should expect it again this year. It is not even the end of the first quarter yet!
Perhaps I am justified in thinking optimistically. In business, bad news usually arrives on Fridays. I am going to take the fact that statistics were not published on Friday the 15th, as a positive sign. What is that terribly over-used expression? "Good things come to those who wait?"
