The effect of a suicide bombing on a hard or soft target can be very devastating and traumatic to both victims and the security services tasked to counter it. As from August 2015, suicide bombing has been used worldwide almost every 1.29 days killing more than 1,294 souls and injuring thousands more [1]. In the context of Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorist group in the Sahel region with numerous rival factions, the success of the current hardline military strategy against these AQ and ISIL affiliated factions is seriously being undermined by the group's operational tactics of using suicide bombings with Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) almost every 48 hours with devastating consequences.
The current Country Threat Index (CTI) over the past 30 days, as of Dec 2016 puts Nigeria in the top 10 of most dangerous countries in the world alongside Iraq, Syria, Somalia, Afghanistan and Libya… [2] To excuse Cameroon, Chad and Niger Republic must not be misconstrued as a low threat indicator because recent suicide bombings with the use of IEDs in these states indicates seriousness of suicide bombing as a major terror tactic in the Lake Chad region in general.
The use of suicide bombing has a long history from 20th Century Russia, Japan and Sri Lanka by the now defeated Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam. In recent times, this tactic has been used as a unique type of human weapon by Boko Haram, Hamas, the Revolutionary People's Liberation Party or PKK, Al-Qaida and ISIL as a last resort and a desperate measure to inflict maximum casualty on their unsuspecting adversary particularly where every other conventional strategy including coordinated assault and Guerrilla Warfare has not worked successfully towards achieving their prescribed goals and objectives. Groups like ISIL, AQ and Boko Haram continue to use suicide bombers to penetrate well protected areas that are vulnerable to human access but not accessible by other means due to perimeter fencing defences against Vehicular Borne Improvised Explosive Devices (VBIEDs).
For any group to succeed in using this tactics, they need volunteers, a community to shade them from security services, precursor materials for making IEDs, experts to train potential volunteers, and experts to make body worn or other related IEDs vest. Some of these training can also be accessed online from well known Jihad training manuals.
Most recently and particularly for the past six months, suicide bombing has become a common tool by some ISIL/Boko Haram factions especially immediately after 2015 when the military base was transferred from Abuja to Maiduguri by President Buhari on his inauguration speech of May 29th [3]. His promise of hardline military strategy first and other soft approach later may have triggered fear within the leadership structure of Boko Haram that a change of tactics was necessary to continue the insurgency.
From all past incidence , Boko Haram selected perpetrators are usually vulnerable boys and girls some as young as 10 years old. Other insurgency groups use adults for maximum effect. Book Haram initial high value targets are often unsuspecting civilians and military/police personnel. However there has been a recent increase in attacks around places of worship, social gatherings, markets and other soft locations including the attack on Maiduguri University. It is important to note that Boko Haram has also used elderly men and women as suicide bombers, making it difficult for security experts to build a concrete profile of a typical suicide suspect.
The significant use of vulnerable girls and women, including the elderly as suicide bombers is very concerning and threatening to security services with no particular typology to profile . On the one hand, it indicates that the military is inflicting some serious punches on Boko Haram as promised by President Muhammadu Buhari because they continue to change tactics to stay rele. On the other hand it indicates that Boko Haram is desperate and losing man power which is also thanks to the recent military strategy of weakening their human capacity. But this desparate reaction means a disorganised insurgency with no known pattern. To militate against this military success, Boko Haram has now specialised in using the most vulnerable and unsuspecting individuals as suicide bombers to target the most vulnerable population at the most vulnerable times.
Suicide bombing is an expensive strategy for most terrorist groups because it affects the manpower of the group. Since not many militants have the mindset to die in such circumstances, it is difficulty to persuade members to take the cause either voluntarily or by coercion. Strangely, it appears that insurgency groups like ISIL & Boko Haram seem capable of getting willing volunteers for this tactics and that aspect itself is a huge concern for any optimist looking at the end game of insurgency suicide activities in the Lake Chad and globally.
To carry out a successful suicide attack, groups need a volunteer, an IED suicide vest and a soft or hard target. Killing a suicide bound terrorist just before they succeed to detonate the suicide vest or locate their intended target is a 50/50 chance reactive strategy based on pure luck and extreme vigilance. The chances of success is very low , and can sometimes result in the killing of innocent suspects.
Practical and proactive measures to counter suicide bombing and bombers are equally complex since perpetrators cannot be physically profiled from normal people. The truth is that, suicide bombers are increasingly becoming unsuspecting individuals ready to die themselves with or without taking others along. These 'death-bound' perpetrators easily blend into the local communities that they are familiar with without any notice of their intentions. In the Republic of Chad and Cameroon measures like dressing down or even banning full face veils have been implemented[4] but the suicide bombers keep adapting to changes. Recent spiral in attacks using suicide bombers in Chad and Cameroon indicates that this measures of banning full face veils/dressing down has done little to deter willing suicide bombers.
The first and most effective measure is to cut the supply chain of volunteers who are recruitment by various terrorist groups. To achieve this requires tackling the fragile environment of extreme poverty, ignorance and lack of care and protection that groups like Boko Haram take advantage of. A better alternative to what these groups provide will naturally hinder voluntary recruitment.
Community based awareness programmes should be flooded into affected and vulnerable regions via varied methods using experts to create public awareness. Since trust in an issue, affected states must rebuild and strengthen their intelligence based trust with the communities that provide space for suicide bombers to infiltrate and blend.
Secondly, there is an urgent need for both national and regional states to implement a counter IED precursor material and bomb making equipment acquisition strategy, working in collaboration with public and private businesses dealing with these materials, equipments or logistics of same. This will ensure that precursor materials like detonators , used to make IEDs and VBIEDs which is readily available in the open market, are comprehensively policed using existing methods of reporting and detecting that have yielded success elsewhere.
Thirdly, the absence of good and reliable database system in most of these states affected by Boko Haram activities has a major effect in achieving a milestone of success. It is high time States work towards the building of a comprehensive national regional database in Africa. This requires time but a database system must be started now for effective information gathering and sharing. Without community awareness, policing these precursor materials through a regional database, the use of suicide bombing and home made IEDs will continue to flourish and cause more havoc to innocent citizens in places where they least expect. To win any battle or war of this nature, the national intelligence estimate of all possibilities must be right from the onset and continue to be enhanced and evaluated as terrorist groups become smarter and improvise on tactics and strategy. If these proactive measures are achieved in good time + other practical measures to cut terrorist groups capacity to buy arms and ammunitions from within and without, technically defeating Boko Haram or ISIL will not be an overstatement or a ridicule of an effective global counter terrorism strategy.
Note: The author reminds readers that mitigating efforts against suicide bombers using IEDs or VBIEDs is only one strategy against many in countering a terrorist group like Boko Haram or ISIL or any other violent extremist group. Other countermeasures to address the underlying ideology must work in complement to achieve different goals simultaneously.

HELL was let loose on Monday, when secondary school students in Ibadan went on rampage, protesting proposed privatisation of schools by the state government.
The students, from various schools, came out en masse, heading to major locations like the Magistrates' Court, Iyaganku, All Progressives Congress (APC) state headquarters at Oke-Ado and the state secretariat, Agodi, Ibadan.
The students, while speaking, accused the state government of four offences, chiding it over the planned privatisation of schools, non-payment of the salaries of their teachers and other civil servants, and failure of government to account for their payment of N1,000 per term as Education Development levy, hence "our decision to openly come out to defend our future."
Some of them said it was difficult for their parents to sponsor them during this economic crisis and wondered why the same government now want to privatise their schools.
One of them, who spoke with newsmen, said "my parents have told me that if the government goes ahead to privatise public schools, that it would be the end of my education and I should be ready to learn one skill or other."
Earlier, men of the Oyo State police command had mounted surveillance within the axis of Magistrates' Court, Iyaganku, to maintain peace and order.
The situation was, however, put under control, as the detained leaders were not brought to the premises, as their colleagues were running round to perfect their bail paper before their eventual release.
But the situation got worse when some members of the state arm of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), who came on solidarity to the court, were denied access to the court premises.
Following their denial of access, members of Nigeria Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) showed up with various placards.
As soon as the police were successful in controlling that, students, notably from schools around Oke-Ado, Oke-Bola axis went on rampage, chasing their colleagues out of the school environment to join in the call against the policy.
Charged with youthful exuberance, the students, some with casual weapons, went on rampage, chanting anti-government songs, attacked the state secretariat of APC at Oke-Ado, destroying window glasses in the process ant the Mitv station within the Government Reservation Area (GRA) secretariat.
Despite that, the students refused to retreat and were still forging ahead to attack the more. As much as the security agents and party members gathered to chase them away, the students were deviant before police officers mounted guard against them.
At the state secretariat, students, in their hundreds and in batches trooped to the seat of power and occupied the area.
The three main gates to the state secretariat were, however, locked to deny them access to the government's seat of power.
It took the intervention of Commissioner of Police, Leye Oyebade, to disperse the protesting students, in front of the state secretariat.
We are being harrassed —NLC
Also, in obvious obedience to the order of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) to its members, hundreds of civil servants besieged the Labour house and Magistrates' Court, Ibadan, to follow up on their call for the release of the seven Labour leaders in detention since last Friday.
Speaking at the Labour House, some of the NLC members alleged that they were being harassed by certain members of the public in their several gatherings this morning (Monday), especially at the Magistrates' Court, Iyaganku, Ibadan.
They said they had resolved to wait at Labour house in anticipation of the release of the detained leaders.
Oyo PDP condemns Ajimobi
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Oyo State chapter, has condemned the action of the state governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi over the recent privatisation of public schools in the state and the arrest of Labour leaders in the state.
According to the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the party, Honourable Kehinde Salawu, in an interview with the Nigerian Tribune, the governor and the All Progressives Congress (APC) had let the masses of the state down with his latest ploy to privatise education in the state.
He condemned the APC-led administration for plunging the state to mockery for their inability to carry along stakeholders in his bid privatise schools in the state.
He also berated the governor for the way and manner he treated the Labour leaders after the fallout of the aborted stakeholders' meeting last week.
Accord, APC trade blame over proposed privatisation of schools
The Oyo State chapter of the Accord Party has condemned the plan by the state government to privatise the management and ownership of public schools in the state in the name of a public-private partnership initiative.
The party, in a statement by its publicity secretary, Dr Nureni Adeniran, said the policy, which ran contrary to the free education campaign promise of Governor Abiola Ajimobi, would add to the miseries of the people of the state, who would be made to pay exorbitant fees to educate their wards.
But ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), on Monday, countered in a statement by its publicity secretary, Mr Olawale Sadare, that opposition to the policy, particularly from "a section of the labour movement," was informed by the "erosion of democratic values and rule of law" in the country by long years of military rule.
APC condemned what it called the open confrontation approach adopted by the Labour leaders "against the administration of Governor Ajimobi in recent times," said the opposition parties might have crept into the labour unions to destabilise the state.
Accord Party, which described the policy "as a disservice to the Chief Obafemi Awolowo's legacy in education bequeathed to the states of the old Western Region," chided APC for blaming its failure on the opposition, asking if it was the opposition that was also responsible for the technical university on which a lot of state funds had been expended, but which could not be seen anywhere in the state.

Former boxing champion FRANK BRUNO has escaped a driving ban after he was caught travelling at 105 miles (168 kilometres) per hour.
The British star was heading home from a charity event in June (10) when his car was pulled over by police for breaking the 70 miles (112 kilometres) per hour speed limit.
The former world heavyweight champ faced the possibility of being banned from the roads - but he was instead given six points on his licence at a hearing in Cambridge, England last week (beg09Aug10).
Officials were told a driving ban would prevent Bruno from continuing his charity work for children with special needs.

Do Mothers Hurt the Economy?
Stay-at-home moms have economists worried. Women make up 51 percent of America's population, but they only constitute 46 percent of its workforce, according to government calculations. The main reason for the discrepancy is that there are over 10 million stay-at-home mothers in the country, compared to 2 million stay-at-home fathers.
If women participated in the official workforce at the same rate as men, the nation's gross domestic product would be 5 percent bigger than it is today. At least, that is the case made by Federal Reserve chairwoman Janet Yellen.
During a speech at Brown University last May, Yellen warned that America is falling behind the advanced economies of Europe due to America's low rate of female labor-force participation. She argued that more European women work outside the home because European governments provide their citizens with paid parental leave and affordable child care. Yellen cited research indicating that if the United States implemented similar policies, the labor-force participation rate of prime working-age females would increase from 74 percent to 82 percent.
Yellen stated that America faces a number of longer-term economic challenges, including "the aging of the population and the low growth rate of productivity. One recent study estimates that increasing the female participation rate to that of men would raise our gross domestic product by 5 percent. And, as I have argued, our workplaces and families, as well as women themselves, would benefit from continued progress."
The study cited by the Federal Reserve chair was conducted by the global strategy consulting firm Strategy& in 2012. It makes a compelling case that gdp would rise 5 percent if female employment was boosted to male levels. But it makes no attempt to measure the economic value of the work already being done by the women at home that Yellen wants to pull into the workforce. The equations that economist use to calculate gdp do not count non-market labor (except for government employee labor), so the work that mothers do at home is ignored in economic reports.
Late economist Paul Samuelson joked that gdp falls when a man marries his housekeeper, even if she continues doing the exact same type of work. The fact that her husband now supports her—rather than an employer recognized by the Internal Revenue Service—erases her official contribution to the economy.
Of course, homemaking is a much more involved and more sophisticated art than only housekeeping. This makes it practically impossible to estimate its real economic value. But one study conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis suggests that gdp would be 26 percent higher if it accounted for the nonmarket housework and child care done in private households. The American Time Use Survey estimates that the average stay-at-home mother performs 18 hours of childcare and 30 hours of housework each week. This means she is already a full-time professional in a $4.7 trillion industry.
But government statisticians ignore this sector of the economy—perhaps we should call it nonmarket household production to make it sound more official—and now some are demanding that this engine of value creation be switched off so that its workers can go get jobs at office buildings, factories, restaurants, etc.
The assertion that homemaking mothers harm the economy is both ludicrous and insulting.
According to a report by the McKinsey Global Institute, women contributed $6.9 trillion to U.S. gdp in 2014, compared to $10.3 trillion contributed by men. The implication was that women only account for 40 percent of the country's productivity. But women also do about two thirds of the nonmarket household production in America. So their real contribution to the labor market is closer to $9.7 trillion, compared to $11.7 trillion contributed by men.
Even this data represents an incomplete picture. A 2004 study in the American Economic Review found that the motivation and support a wife provides to her husband allows him to be more fully committed to his job, boosting his income by approximately 27 percent. Since half the men in America are married, about $1 trillion of their salaries could be attributable to the support they receive from their marriages.
But the societal benefits of committed mothers become even more obvious when you factor in the benefits she has on her children. Harvard School of Public Health researcher Jody Heymann found that for every hour a child is left unsupervised between 6 and 9 p.m., he is 16 percent more likely to score in the bottom quarter of a standardized math test. Other studies show that unsupervised children are more likely to use drugs or alcohol, have sex, and commit crimes. Despite this, according to an Urban Institute survey, 1 in 5 preteens (ages 6 to 12) are regularly left home alone after school while both of their parents are at work. Although the economic impact of self-care among school-age children may not be immediate, it will definitely impact the economic productivity of the next generation.
"[The homemaker's] impact on the economy is threefold," noted Dr. Patrick Fagan in an article for The Natural Family. "[F]irst, she raises the future labor force; second, her at-home labor saves the family money; and third, by tending to details on the home front, she both allows and motivates her husband to be fully committed to his occupation, job or profession."
God created the family unit to allow for a specialization of labor between husband and wife, which any good economist will tell you leads to greater productivity. Those who officially and unofficially ignore the contributions homemakers make to the economy and try to guilt them into getting jobs in cubicles are not trying to grow America's economy. They are trying to revolutionize America's culture. Since the 1960s, the meltdown of the traditional American family has been the leading cause of the demise of the middle class and the rise of the welfare state.
A strong family built on the biblical model—with a faithfully married, family-focused father and mother intent on fulfilling their respective roles—is an ideal that should be valued by any clear-thinking person and certainly by any clear-thinking economist. Despite claims to the contrary, God says the role a mother fulfills in the home is praiseworthy, exalted, beautiful and productive.

The Beast of Revelation: Identified (DVD)
Who is the dreaded beast of Revelation?
Now at last, a plausible candidate for this personification of evil incarnate has been identified (or re-identified). Ken Gentry's insightful analysis of scripture and history is likely to revolutionize your understanding of the book of Revelation — and even more importantly — amplify and energize your entire Christian worldview!
Historical footage and other graphics are used to illustrate the lecture Dr. Gentry presented at the 1999 Ligonier Conference in Orlando, Florida. It is followed by a one-hour question and answer session addressing the key concerns and objections typically raised in response to his position. This presentation also features an introduction that touches on not only the confusion and controversy surrounding this issue — but just why it may well be one of the most significant issues facing the Church today.
Ideal for group meetings, personal Bible study — for anyone who wants to understand the historical context of John's famous letter "… to the seven churches which are in Asia." (Revelation 1:4)

The Real Jesus: A Defense of the Historicity and Divinity of Christ (DVD)
Who is the Real Jesus?
Ever since the dawn of modern rationalism, skeptics have sought to use textual criticism, archeology and historical reconstructions to uncover the "historical Jesus" — a wise teacher who said many wonderful things, but fulfilled no prophecies, performed no miracles and certainly did not rise from the dead in triumph over sin.
Over the past 100 years, however, startling discoveries in biblical archeology and scholarship have all but vanquished the faulty assumptions of these doubting modernists. Regrettably, these discoveries have often been ignored by the skeptics as well as by the popular media. As a result, the liberal view still holds sway in universities and impacts the culture and even much of the church.
The Real Jesus explodes the myths of these critics and the movies, books and television programs that have popularized their views. Presented in ten parts — perfect for individual, family and classroom study — viewers will be challenged to go deeper in their knowledge of Christ in order to be able to defend their faith and present the truth to a skeptical modern world – that the Jesus of the Gospels is the Jesus of history — "the same yesterday, today and forever" (Hebrews 13:8). He is the real Jesus.
Speakers include: George Grant, Ted Baehr, Stephen Mansfield, Raymond Ortlund, Phil Kayser, David Lutzweiler, Jay Grimstead, J.P. Holding, and Eric Holmberg.

Dr. Francis Schaeffer - A Christian Manifesto (DVD)
That Swiss Hermit Strikes Again!
Dr. Schaeffer, who was one of the most influential Christian thinkers in the twentieth century, shows that secular humanism has displaced the Judeo-Christian consensus that once defined our nation's moral boundaries. Law, education, and medicine have all been reshaped for the worse as a consequence. America's dominant worldview changed, Schaeffer charges, when Christians weren't looking.
Schaeffer lists two reasons for evangelical indifference: a false concept of spirituality and fear. He calls on believers to stand against the tyranny and moral chaos that come when humanism reigns-and warns that believers may, at some point, be forced to make the hard choice between obeying God or Caesar. A Christian Manifesto is a thought-provoking and bracing Christian analysis of American culture and the obligation Christians have to engage the culture with the claims of Christ.

Why Creeds and Confessions? (Book)
High Quality Paperback — 219 pages
Foundations in Biblical Orthodoxy
Driving down a country road sometime, you might see a church with a sign proudly proclaiming: "No book but the Bible — No creed but Christ." The problem with this statement is that the word creed (from the Latin: credo) simply means "belief." All Christians have beliefs, regardless of whether they are written.
Yet a single book containing the actual texts of the most important creeds of the early Church will not often be found. Out of the multitude of works on the evangelical Christian book market today, those dealing with the creeds of the Church are scarce.
Why Creeds and Confessions? provides a foundation of biblical orthodoxy as a defense against the false and truly heretical doctrines advanced by the spirit of this age.

Now I don't understand a few things. Say for argument that there is this sensual person who committed hundreds of these type of sins in the past and can't remember the hundreds if not thousands, i.e the number of times. Now for argument he went to priests of the new world order for confession and all these confessions are invalid. So he finds a valid priest that lives in some sort of monastery somewhere, and confesses to him all the sins he ever confessed to the new world order priests in the past but can't remember the number of times he committed these sensual sins of the flesh…what is the rule about that?
MHFM: In that case, a person would say: "I ask forgiveness for having committed [specify the sin] possibly thousands of times." One must do his best to approximate.

Finally, September arrived and so did our annual teambuilding. It started last Friday and finished on Sunday. All these total 48 hours were filled with smiles, fun activities and smooth walks around the beautiful nature of Pamporovo.
Our partners from Outdoor Activity had prepared a special Saturday-long activity program. We were separated in 3 groups:
- Gazebo builders
- Snezhanka peak hikers
- Ecopath Nevyastata rock climbers and walking enthusiasts
We overcame so many new challenges and enjoyed the pleasant time with our teammates. The speed lovers had the chance to test the newest BMW models at the BMW Fun Drive in the afternoon. Saturday evening was dedicated to our official main event and closing night in which special guests were Tapani and Gaydi folklore band. We gathered to dance traditional Bulgarian horo with more than 200 ScaleFocusarians at the Black Horse lawn. Our friends from Travel Cocktails prepared special thematic drinks for us. Rodopsko Meri and Orpheus Tears warmed us up for a night to remember.
We are always more than happy to work and party hard together as a team.

One of the most common questions we receive at Coral Essentials is, "How do I start using the Coral Essentials marine aquarium supplements range?". It's simple to answer, and simple to follow, just like the rest of our advice here at Coral Essentials. However it is one question we feel needs to be answered well to ensure your experience with our products is the absolute best it can be.
The primary products for all marine tank maintenance is Calcium, Alk and Mag, this is the foundation of supplementation. We recommend the bluetang dosing salts in the UK and Europe however you are free to use whatever you feel best covers this step. A calcium reactor could also cover this step.
The following 3 products are the first step in Coral Essentials marine aquarium care and is where we advise most aquarists to start their journey with us. It includes Coral Essentials Trace Elements A, B and C. You can mix these traces in with your primary dosing solutions (we provide a premixed option called Coral Essentials Calcium and Carbonate + Trace or you can mix with the bluetang dosing salts) or you can simply add the required drops a day directly to your tank for full control.
The second step is feeding with Coral Essentials Power Amino and Power Gro. These products form the basis of water quality maintenance for enhanced growth, colour and vitality.

In the fallout of comedian Hari Kondabolu's documentary The Problem With Apu, and the weirdly defensive response from The Simpsons, producer Adi Shankar wants to make a woke Simpsons episode about Apu. To get the script, he's running a screenwriting contest.
Screenshot: Gracie Films
If you agree with Shankar and Kondabolu that Apu is a gross stereotype, then check out the contest rules:
We are looking for a screenplay centering on the character "Apu" set in the world and canon of The Simpsons that takes the character of Apu and in a clever way subverts him, pivots him, intelligently writes him out, or evolves him in a way that takes a mean spirited mockery and transforms him into a kernel of truth wrapped in funny insight aka actual satire.
This contest is open to people of all ethnicities and cultures, however, if you don't have any experience with Indian culture in America then you may not have the perspective and experience to write well on this topic.
The contest will be judged by a panel of South Asians and other minorities who work in entertainment. The submission deadline is June 30, and there's no fee.
Shankar, while an experienced producer for film and Netflix, doesn't actually work for The Simpsons or for Fox, but he doesn't need to. While he plans to take the winning script to the show's writers and producers, if and when they reject it, he says he'll make the episode himself.
He's done this before - his 2015 "bootleg" Power Rangers episode got 21 million views on YouTube. Add with all the press attention around the contest, and Shankar's unofficial episode will make a bigger splash than a typical season 29 episode of the real show.
The 'Your Fave Is Problematic' Reading List
In tragically familiar news, a powerful man in entertainment was recently revealed to be a scumbag. Harvey Weinstein, who spent millions paying off women who accused him of sexual assault, was involved in hundreds of great works including Project Runway, Pulp Fiction, The English Patient and Air Bud. Weinstein, of course, is terrible, and none of his work redeems this. The question, for some, is how to deal with a beloved work once it bears the taint of Weinstein's involvement.
Stunt projects such as this are a great way for aspiring creators to get noticed; writer Billy Domineau got his first agent thanks to his shockingly clever 9/11 Seinfeld script, and two months later he was on the writing staff at Family Guy. So any writer with a deep understanding of comedy and Indian-American culture should seriously consider submitting a script.
Shankar tells IndieWire, "Apu is not even a stereotype. The stereotype of Indians is we're doctors, we're smart people, leaders in tech, the CEO of Microsoft, CEO of Google... [Apu] is an inaccurate, fabricated archetype that was created by The Simpsons and carved into the American conscientiousness through blunt force over 30 years." He's looking for the best way to discuss this in the form of a Simpsons episode, whether the actual show wants to or not.
It doesn't sound as though the real show will beat Shankar to the punch here. While Apu voice actor Hank Azaria agrees with some criticisms of the character, showrunner Al Jean has been kind of a dick about it, and Matt Groening said this week that Apu's critics "love to pretend to be offended" - as if Hari Kondabolu exposed himself to America's racists just for fun. So if you want to put Groening in his place, and you have the chops to do it in writing, now's your chance.

Starting with the academic year 2009-2010, the "Dimitrie Cantemir" University of Tîrgu Mureş founded the The Teacher Training Department (D.P.P.D.).
The Pre- and In-Service Teacher Training Department (D.P.P.D.), as a institutional structure of the the "Dimitrie Cantemir" University, was founded on the basis of the Order of the Ministry of National Education no. 30127/January 14, 2010.
Ever since its inception, the Teacher Training Department assumed a didactic and scientific research mission in the field of teacher training, by promoting a modern, student-centred, formative learning, adapted to the European standards on psycho-pedagogical training programmes, and pragmatically oriented to the real needs of society and the current priorities of education.
Since the beginning , the Teacher Training Department has followed its mission by providing psycho-pedagogical training programmes for those students interested in embracing the teaching career.
Hundreds of students coming from all over the country but also from other EU countries, who complete one or both of their psycho-pedagogical training programmes each year, illustrate the recognition the Teacher Training Department enjoys, and the solid reputation it has built over the years. They also represent the guarantee of the "teachers of teachers" experience which they have it in the training of future teachers.
Through the implementation of these training programmes, accredited by the Ministry of National Education, "Dimitrie Cantemir" University of Tîrgu Mureş reaffirms its role as an institution that takes responsibility, its important role in assuring the quality of education, during this difficult period which crosses the Romanian educational system.

Elizabethtown-Lewis will host its final senior night Thursday with boys and girls varsity teams playing against Chazy. The games were postponed from today due to the winter storm that wiped out a vast majority of Section VII athletic contests over the past two days.

ELIZABETHTOWN | For the second day, the vast majority of the Section VII sports schedule has been wiped away due to winter weather, affecting a pair of era-ending home games.
Elizabethtown-Lewis was set to hold its boys and girls senior night and final home games in Lions' history Wednesday night against Chazy, which are now scheduled to be played Thursday, Feb. 14.
The Saranac Lake at Westport girls varsity basketball game has been cancelled, with Westport playing a road game against Keene Friday.
Currently, officials are looking into holding senior night and a Nostalgia Night during Westport's Class D quarterfinal game Friday, Feb. 22. The Eagles have already locked up the top seed in the girls playoffs and will host the winner of an 8/9 preliminary game.
The lone glimmers of hope on Wednesday's schedule include Minerva/Newcomb at Wells girls basketball, while Schroon Lake is also still scheduled to host Fort Edward this evening in a nonleague contest between Section VII and Section II.

I don't know. My 13 year old read Call of the Wild a few months ago - by choice, not as a school assignment. She loved the story. I'm not sure where she heard of it, but she does read a lot of animal stories. She wants to be a veterinarian, and she seems to have a pretty good handle on the fact that working with animals does not equal puppy and kitty cuddling, etc.
If you think about it, Black Beauty can be pretty gritty as well. Also fiction, it too reflects a time when animals were not always treated well and laws did not protect them.
This is true of the majority of "animal stories" -- think of Old Yeller, The Yearling, etc., even Albert Payson Terhune's books (I remember how, when reading Lad, a Dog, I was in disbelief that he could have Lad actually bitten by a venomous snake and might have him die). Very few of these things are just "cuddly" stories -- they often came from people who passionately cared about animals, and abhorred the state they saw them in...

ABB said it has won an order from Korean shipbuilder Samsung Heavy Industries to equip two new 125,000 DWT shuttle tankers contracted to the world's largest offshore operator Statoil ASA.
Ordered by petroleum and chemical tanker owner and operator AET and scheduled for delivery in 2019, the vessels will transport oil from the Statoil fields on the Norwegian and U.K. continental shelves to land-based terminals.
The two twin-skeg specialist DP2 offshore loading shuttle tankers will feature a range of ABB's power and automation solutions, including the power distribution system Onboard DC Grid. The power system is highly configurable and especially well suited to the integration of variable speed generators, energy storage and new energy sources such as fuel cells, ABB said.
"These state-of-the art tankers will have a service life of up to 30 years, operating in the harsh winter conditions of the North Sea. They need to be robust, competitive, capable of meeting anticipated environmental regulations and prepared for new energy sources," said Juha Koskela, Managing Director, ABB Marine & Ports. "With ABB's solutions on board, these tankers will be future-proofed for technology and regulations for the years to come."
ABB said its integrated power and automation solutions will play a key role in ensuring the vessels achieve high fuel efficiency: a shuttle tanker of similar tonnage would normally use 8,000-9,000 tons of fuel a year, while ABB's solution can contribute to annual fuel savings of up to 1,000 tons.
The vessels will also have the ABB Ability Marine Remote Diagnostic System on board to allow reduced on-call visits of service engineers and maintenance costs while increasing the safety and reliability through extended and predictive monitoring.
The power system on board will be controlled by ABB's integrated Power and Energy Management System (PEMS), which will enable generators to run at variable speeds in the optimal way.
Together with PEMS, ABB's Integrated Control and Monitoring System will enable the crew to operate the vessels' steaming and DP operations at the lowest possible specific fuel consumption.
The main and auxiliary engines of the tankers will have the dual-fuel option, which will allow them to operate on liquefied natural gas (LNG), as well as traditional fuel.
Twin two-stroke engines will act as the main source for all power utilizing the Onboard DC Grid shaft generator solution for all of the operational modes.

A System of Play
The objects that surround me have accumulated over the years. Some have a fixed purpose and my hand reaches for them at specific times. Dust doesn't tend to settle on these. Others live high up on shelves, between an armchair and a bookshelf, placed between a door and a radiator, balanced on the edge of a chair – these objects tend to move less, if at all.They surround me and they inhabit space - a constellation of forms and colours. A strange and disparate ecosystem, learnt contours and corresponding gestures through which my limbs and thoughts continuously navigate.
Moving home in the summer of 2017 reminded me of this seemingly random amalgamation – dislodging shapes placed one by one in cardboard boxes, impervious to any selective ordering, bearers of talismanic properties that prevented me from disposing of them.
A System of Play considers this accumulation and excess of household objects and consumables and their singular interaction and dialogue with the body and self, but also the feeling of self-erasure that can arise from overconsumption. Isolating these objects from their habitual space or functionality, they become props, function-less, awkwardly balanced or fused in a mutual cohabitation, extensions of the body, an ambivalent interaction of shapes and forms that support, constrain and conceal.

Russia promises tough response to Ecumenical Patriachate over Ukraine
- News Service 13 OCTOBER 2018, 04:34Reuters
The Russian Orthodox Church said on Saturday it would respond firmly to the Istanbul-based Ecumenical Patriarchate over its decision to back Ukraine's request to establish an independent, or "autocephalous", Church.
Kiev sees the move, endorsed by a synod meeting in Istanbul on Thursday, as a vital step against Moscow's meddling in its affairs, but the Russian clergy fiercely opposes it as the biggest split in Christendom in 1,000 years.
Alexander Volkov, spokesman for Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill, said the Holy Synod of the Church would "express its position", without elaborating on what measures it might take.
"The Synod, which will convene in Minsk (on Monday), will give its final assessment," Volkov told reporters.
"At any rate, the response will be in kind and tough," he added.
Last month the Russian Orthodox Church announced it would no longer participate in structures chaired by the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, deepening the row over the Ukrainian Church's bid to break away from Moscow's orbit.
The long-running dispute has worsened since 2014 when Russia annexed Ukraine's Crimean peninsula and gave support to pro-Moscow separatists in eastern Ukraine.
Arriving in Minsk on Saturday, Patriarch Kirill, who has close ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin, told reporters: "I hope the Orthodox Church will find the strength to overcome hardships... to stay united."
The Kiev Patriarchate's leader has been sharply critical of Putin and in 2014 suggested he was possessed by Satan.

For several years my business card has said "lessons", which of course prompts people to ask, "You teach knitting? I've always wanted to learn how to knit!" And I mumble something vague in return and then nothing ever happens after that. I have never really pursued the lessons/classes aspect of knitting and spinning for a few reasons. The main reason was money and then after that things just escalate. How much to charge? Do I force them to come to my chaos house or do I waste my gas driving to them? Do we meet in some neutral middle place like a Panera? What about follow up classes? What if I can't teach them? What if I'm actually just a bad teacher? From there I spiral into self-doubt. And inactivity.
With the new Shop in operation, I have decided to give classes a genuine effort. It provides a central space to hold them, so location is no longer a sticking point. And for some reason having that issue resolved makes me more confident to move forward with the rest of it!
We're starting this month with Beginner Spindle Spinning Thursdays at 2 pm. Dates are July 9, 16, and 23. They will resume again in August. These afternoon classes will be $15. We will be using a Turkish spindle which you will have the option to purchase at the end of class.
Starting on August 12 I will teach Knitting Basics on Wednesdays at 10 am. We will cover casting on, binding off, knitting, and purling (time permitting). This first intro class is $15 and includes needles and yarn. Follow up instruction will be $10 per lesson. You can drop in or email me to reserve a spot (firstname.lastname@example.com).

Yoga might seem daunting, but learning basic yoga techniques is simple and great for your overall health. Here are five reasons why you should sign up for a yoga class today:
1. Mindfulness is the Key to Relaxation
Yoga can be just what you need to get the type of calm your doctor's been talking about the last few visits. Learning to utilize the art of mindfulness will allow you to concentrate on yourself in the present state of relaxation.
2. Increase Your Range of Motion
What does a star athlete do before he or she plays the big game? That's right; they stretch to prepare their body for the work ahead. Regular yoga practice, even just once a week, can help improve your range of motion, help you to be less clumsy by enhancing your stability, and even increase your mobility as it works out the stiffness of your muscles.
3. Improve Your Memory
You wouldn't think it, but you can work up quite a sweat during your daily or weekly yoga class. Yoga utilizes a combination of techniques that together will increase the blood flow to your frontal lobe. This, in turn, improves attention spans, concentration, and focus which yield a better memory.
4. Perfect Your Rest
Who doesn't want better sleep? Yoga is known to resolve several factors causing one's inability to sleep properly. The resolution of pain, physical activity before bed and cool-down sessions can all be attributed to the presence of better rest.
5. Better Posture
By working out the tightness in your muscles and building a solid foundation, yoga will improve your posture. This will lead to many benefits including being able to breath easier, and achieving some of yoga's more challenging positions. You'll simultaneously build your posture and confidence.
Get started today by signing up for Quantum Health & Yoga Lounge's beginner yoga classes at 10:30am on Saturdays!
