Mira Cole-Wijaya looks into the technology transforming development, from financial inclusion to education to connectivity.
Technology has radically transformed people's lives and livelihoods across the globe. Within humanitarian and international development contexts, technology has the potential to massively change the way aid is delivered, to find solutions to development bottlenecks, and to provide alternative ways to spur economic growth. The UN sees technology as one of the key pillars crucial in helping achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, while DiFD's digital development strategy believes "digital technologies have the potential to revolutionise the lives of the poor, unlock development and prosperity, and accelerate progress towards the Global Goals". Though we must not be over zealous in seeing technology as the "silver bullet" set to disentangle all international development challenges, in many cases technology does have the unique ability to help countries leapfrog certain stages in traditional development trajectories or provide innovative solutions to distinctive regional obstacles.
So what types of technologies are really making a difference?
International development is a vast and all encompassing concept, touching on all facets of society within developing countries, from service delivery to humanitarian responses to economic growth. Furthermore, the impact of these many of these technologies are expansive and crosscutting with technology working at the intersection of multiple sectors. This makes it very difficult to define exactly what we would consider an international development technology. Roughly, however, we can set out 8 categories where technology is increasingly disrupting the developmental ecosystem.
Financial inclusion: Technology plays an important role in propelling inclusive growth. M-Pesa is perhaps the most talked about and successful example of technology being used as a tool for financial inclusion by allowing mobile phone owners to securely and quickly transfer money via their phones. This has provided a banking system for the previously unbanked and lifted 2% of Kenyan households out of extreme poverty. Similarly Tala has provided credit to the informal sector empowering a new generation of business owners. Technology has the power to revolutionise the financial system for those who would traditionally be marginalised and in the process lift many vulnerable populations out of poverty.
The Collaborative Economy: Collaborative economy tools are changing the way citizens access assets and services they previously could not afford. Hello Tractor is an 'uber style' service that allows African farmers to access low cost tractors, while WeFarm is a farmer to farmer knowledge sharing platform that allows farmers to ask questions or share tips via SMS (for those without internet access) or online. Both technologies have led to an increase in farmers yield and efficiency. Meanwhile, GO-JEK in Indonesia has spun out from a platform connecting low-end taxi and motorbike taxis to include at home delivery of services, such as spa treatments, as well as food delivery. What is especially interesting about Go-Jek has been its role in stimulating growth and inclusion in Indonesia, providing a slothe of new job opportunities, connecting low-productive sectors of the economy, while moving jobs previously part of the informal economy into the formal economy and thereby increasing the potential tax base.
Utilities: With 780 million people worldwide lacking access to clean water and just under one billion people without access to electricity, the UN's millennium development goals have a strong focus on providing access to these vital utilities. There are a myriad of technologies working to tackle the challenges of clean water scarcity such as Zero Mass Water, which uses solar panels to pull drinking water out of the air, and LifeStraw, who create portable filtered straws which has given millions of people access to clean water. Lack of infrastructure, hostile terrain and remoteness of many regions in developing countries also make providing electricity off the grid essential. Companies like as BuffaloGrid and Standard Microgrid are finding innovative ways, using renewable energy to provide power to those who are often marginalised by lack of traditional infrastructure while using the resources they have copious amounts of – sunlight.
Transportation and logistics: The geography and lack of formal infrastructure is one of the greatest challenges for developing countries. With the emergence of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), however, remote areas previously inaccessible using conventional transport are becoming reachable. Windhorse Aerospace uses UAVs to deliver aid to communities in restricted locations, while Altigator uses multi-sensory drones for search and rescue after natural disasters and for digitally mapping remote regions. New ways of providing addresses and locations to regions which lack formal street addresses are also appearing, including What3Words – which encodes geographical coordinates into three words – and OkHi, which provides locations with an "OkHi address" comprising of a web link that points to a GPS tag and photo of the house's gate. While Where Is My Transport is making public transport in emerging cities easier to use by collating data on both formal and informal modes of transport to provide a journey planning platform.
Education: Globally there has been a rise in literacy rates and numbers of children attending both primary and secondary school, however there are still many countries who are lagging behind. New types of technology are entering the market in attempts to find novel ways to provide better educational outputs in a sustainable format. From durable and cost-effective tablets for primary schools in Africa, to educational platforms that use gamification and ai technology to make learning fun and easily to access across South-East Asia (Solve Education) the educational sector in developing countries are becoming more tech savvy. Platforms like Funzi are also working with development organisations and the UN to develop bespoke mobile learning services that easily and effectively target specific groups.
Health: There are numerous new technologies out there finding pioneering ways to provide healthcare in challenging environments. Simprints are using biometric fingerprint scanners to overcome identification bottlenecks and build medical records for pregnant women in Bangladesh as well as improving vaccination coverage in other countries. Flare is changing Nairobi's emergency service landscape by creating an 'uber-style' consumer facing app which allows patients or hospitals see available ambulance options to request help as quickly as possible. While Zipline is using drones in Tanzania and Rwanda to parachute deliver important medical supplies to remote regions.
Governance and accountability: Developing countries governments are often critiqued for their lack of transparency, especially when it comes to the expenditure of aid. Aid.Tech is set to revolutionise this process by using blockchain technology to instantly send money around the world with complete traceability, reducing the amount of money that is lost through corruption or fraud. Beneficiaries are provided with a digital identity, that cannot be replicated, through which they can receive entitlements via digital vouchers. Further systems of digital identification are also be rolled out across many countries, including India's use of Aadhaar biometric digital identification for public service provision and Nigeria's E-ID system.
Connectivity: With many of these pioneering technologies, what sits behind them is the massive increase in mobile phone use and access to the internet. While internet access is burgeoning in many urban areas, the price is less affordable than in developed countries, furthermore there are huge obstacles in expanding affordable internet access to remote areas due to the need for new or upgraded infrastructure. This has lead to large corporations such as Google, SpaceX, Facebook and Oneweb investing in the development or aerial infrastructure innovations in efforts to overcome these challenges. Examples include Google's Project Loon which is a network of stratospheric balloons providing internet to remote locations.

For most of my life, my morning shower was a media-free zone. In recent years, in fact, it was my only media-free zone. At any given moment, I consume media: While cleaning the apartment or walking to the Metro, I listen to podcasts. While cooking, I half-watch Madame Secretary or Law & Order: SVU on Netflix. While getting ready for the day, I have CNN on in the background. While working out, of course, I have music. (Bad music.) I read, I listen, I watch—from when I wake up and check my phone until I put my Kindle on the bedside table at night.
Except, for a long time, when I was in the shower. For 15 minutes or so in the morning, I was forced to be alone with my thoughts. "It builds character," I told myself. I had to talk to myself, because there was nothing else to occupy me. When I heard that some of my colleagues listen to podcasts in the shower with the help of a ziplock bag, I scoffed. I guffawed. I condescended. "They can't even go without media while they're in the shower? They have a problem," I congratulated myself.
And then I gave in. Oh god, I gave in.
It started in the summer of 2016, soon after my husband went out of town for work for a few months. The timing was terrible, as I was also grieving the loss of two family members. Each morning, when I put down the phone and went into the bathroom to shower, the quiet got to me. It was at that moment that my isolation felt most acute, that I couldn't stop my thoughts from churning—the regret about things unsaid to my loved ones, the chains of events I wish I could have broken, the things on my to-do list that I worried I wouldn't have the energy to tackle.
I knew the real solutions to the problem, the things my therapist would have (and did) suggest: more yoga. More mindfulness and intentionality. Sitting with the feelings. Instead, I drowned them out. One morning, I put my iPhone in a glass on a ledge in the bathroom, and I turned on NPR One—NPR's most excellent app, which Terry Gross described in one ad as "sort of like Pandora for public radio." It's been part of my daily routine ever since. As the shower starts, I get the national news roundup from the top of the hour. Then it gives me the Washington, D.C., area headlines before heading to individual stories, selected based on my previous listening habits.
Before I gave in to NPR One in the morning, I was a bit like an alcoholic who swore that she had her problem under control because she never cracked a beer before 5 p.m. on the dot. Clearly I didn't have a media problem, I thought, because I have this whole long period every morning in which I am alone with myself. Yes, I know that 15 minutes per day of media-free time is not actually a long period. But logic had no place in my media habit. When I crossed that Rubicon and began listening to NPR One during my ablutions, I admitted that I now strongly desired, maybe required, external mental stimulation at all times.
As the editor of Future Tense—Slate's partnership with Arizona State University and New America, about how emerging technologies change our lives—I know the research and the debates about our media addiction. I know attention is a commodity. I know it's tragic that we can't stand in line at the grocery store without pulling out a phone. I know that being alone with your thoughts can support creativity and personal growth. I know I am conditioning myself to be more easily distracted.
Admitting you have a problem may be the first step to recovery, but for now, I'm stalling out here. I don't intend to fix myself any time soon. My morning NPR One listen has become a comforting part of my routine, and listening to public radio has given me a little bit of a boost at work, making me aware of stories I might otherwise have overlooked. The rationalization is winning out over the self-awareness. May my attention span rest in peace.
But you—it's not too late. Keep that quiet time in the shower. When it's gone, you may not actually miss it. But you'll probably miss that sense of superiority that it gives you.

Wasn't shure, but a beleiver now!
I was a little leary of buying Behringer at first. I've been a Crown guy for a while, but times are tough and money was tight, I needed another 2000 watt amp. Took a chance on this amp. Wow 2000 per side @ 2 ohms and it pulls it off. I can't yet speak of its durability but its well built and its been running 4 eighteens since I bought it.(About 6 months) I've since bought 4 Behringer P1502 for monitors, For the money its decent quality.

As part of our British Values week and to celebrate the Queens 90th Birthday we hosted our own version of the GBBO last Friday.
Classes were asked to produce their very own show stopper with the theme being "The Queens Birthday".
Everyone produced some amazing entries which made it so difficult for our judges Holly and Gill to pick a winner. However after looking at, tasting and checking for any soggy bottoms! we decided that we could not choose one overall winner, so had two classes who were crowned as the GBBO @ EPS winners! But also had lots of very close contenders behind them!

Our lives are filled with negativity – bad news, bad services, unpleasant circumstance, and negative attitudes. Negativity is easy. Its easy to complain, to find the down side and point out the flaws.
It's not so easy to find the positive. But if you know the NK&A team, you know we are a pretty gratitude-filled bunch.
We take the time to share goodwill and spread positivity wherever we go – compliments, helping out and supporting others. Nope, we're not boy/girl scouts, we're just a glass-half-full kind of crew that gets a charge out of sharing our positivity.
Each year at Thanksgiving we post about our gratitude, and this year we want to hear about yours. Click here to read what each team member is grateful for and weigh in on your gratitude, too.

MAKING the PBA is already a dream come true.
What more if you're in the same team as your childhood idol?
Baser Amer is relishing the opportunity to play with and be taken under the wing of Jimmy Alapag at Meralco.
"Number one idol ko talaga si Jimmy," the rookie playmaker admitted in a chat with Spin.ph after practice on the eve of his pro debut. "Nung bata ako, pag tumitira ako, may kasamang, 'Jimmyyy Alapaaag!'"
"Haud kaayo (sobrang galing)," the Davao native added of Alapag, the former league MVP, who has come out of retirement to help the Bolts in their bid to join the PBA's elite. "Dati pinapanood ko lang, pero ngayon kabantayan ko na sa practice at lagi kong nakakausap."
And the 23-year-old Amer, the seventh overall pick in this year's draft, is glad to be mentored by the former Gilas Pilipinas skipper.
"Hindi ka niya pababayaan," the San Beda star said. "Sobrang happy na naging mentor ko siya, talagang tututukan ka."
Of course, Amer, who has carved a name as arguably the best pure point guard in college, is molding his game after that of a fellow pass-first court general in Alapag.
"Alam niya paano mag-make ng good decisions, kung kailan pumasa at tumira, kasi ang hirap bantayan ng ganun eh," Amer said. "May ibang player kasi na mag-shoo-shoot lagi.
"Si cap Jimmy, yung priority niya 'yung teammates niya," he added. "Pag wala talaga siyang makita, dun lang siya titira. Kaya ang hirap bantayan eh, kasi hindi mo alam kung kailan siya titira."
Amer, who has attended only his fourth practice with the Bolts, hopes to immediately familiarize himself with his teammates' tendencies.
"Kailangang makabisado ko agad yung bawat isa, kung san 'yung strong points nila, kung saan sila comfortable tumira, kailangan ko rin makabisado yung plays namin."
Amer makes his debut on Wednesday when the Bolts take on a Blackwater side that's also unveiling a former Red Lions standout in Art dela Cruz.
[See Longtime teammates Amer, Dela Cruz find selves on opposing sides in PBA debut]
But he is still moving on from a heartbreaking NCAA finals defeat at the hands of archrival Letran.
"Wala na 'yun," Amer insisted. "Panibagong journey na 'to. Kailangan makalimutan na 'yun, kasi kung malungkot ka pa, baka mahawa yung mga teammates mo dito, so kailangan mag-grow up ka kaagad."
The 5-foot-11 point guard has to as he cherishes the realization of his dream.
"Masaya ako," he said. "Ang hirap talaga makapunta dito. Kailangan pagtrabahuhan."
"Ngayong nandito na ako, hindi ko sasayangin ang opportunity na 'to," he added. "Sana magtagal ako dito."

This really is a huge leap forward for Skymax Pro, all other third party developer weather plugin's and systems have now been ditched on my PC in place of this and Skymax Pro. The best thing for me is the cloud lighting, god rays in the day, hazy atmospheric conditions, and lighting effects at night from the landing lights and lightening strikes - double the benefit! normally at night you don't see the clouds, you can now, in spectacular fashion!
Simply excellent! For balance of FPS/detail on my system, I use 500m cloud detail, 13000 distance, far left min clouds and middle max clouds, fast clouds option on, god rays 65%, low cirrus res, turned off force cirrus layer, lens flare off, cloud reflection off, dense particles, cloud shadow 60%

About Bulk Product Editor & Sync
Are you tired of spending hours managing your products in Shopify? This app is for you.
We know running an eCommerce store takes lots of time and the last thing you want is to have to update your products by hand in the Shopify admin. A simple change like "add a tag to all products under $15" can take hours depending on the number of products.
This is where our app comes in.
Instead of manually editing your products this app offers four ways to save you hours of work:
- You can filter for products you want to edit and then modify them in one go
- You can upload a spreadsheet with just the values you want changed
- You can set up recurring edits to run at fixed intervals
- You can create products from a spreadsheet or export product fields to a spreadsheet
Our app will then process the products for you, allowing you to reclaim precious time in your day
What can the app do?
Here's just a sample of some of the things you can do:
- Update prices (including rounding cents, and adjusting the compare price)
- Add/remove tags and products to collections
- Search/replace in product descriptions and titles
- Upload a CSV or Excel to keep prices or stock levels in sync
- Set visibility for Shopify POS or the Online Store Sales Channel
- Update product vendor, type, weight and much more
- Mass update Google Shopping fields
- Delete all products that don't have images
- Create products from a CSV
Scheduling Edits - Great for managing sales
You can schedule any edit to run in the future and, optionally, revert the edit after a specified time. This is a great way to manage temporary changes to your products, like when you're having a sale.
Recurring Edits
You can create recurring edits that modify a set of products to run at a fixed interval. This is great for situations you want to make sure that all newly-imported products have the correct tags or vendor.
Faster Inventory Level Edits
The Advanced and Professional plans includes changing inventory levels over 10x faster than other apps. Gone are the days where you're limited to updating 2 products per second.
App Support
If you have any questions while using the app you can check out our list of Frequently Asked Questions (a link is on the right) .We also offer email support and we reply to all inquiries within one business day (but usually faster).

All dads deserve a big hug on Father's Day, but some have really gone above and beyond the call of duty in the past year. From the dad who rescued his young daughter from a burning building to the dad who donated part of his liver to save his son's life, these fathers deserve a big round of applause for heroic deeds that protected their children.
The dad who gave his son a liver transplant
Brittany Munn, who lives in upstate New York, knew her son was sick from the time he was born, but doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong at first. They eventually discovered Caleb had the rare and serious biliary atresia, and said he needed a liver transplant if he was to survive past the age of 2.
Luckily, his father was a perfect match. As soon as Brian Munn found out he could donate part of his liver to make his son healthy, he jumped at the opportunity. Father and son now have matching scars from their March 2015 surgeries, and Caleb will continue to require treatment. But for now, he is much healthier, and his dad is glad he could do what was needed to help.
"Once I [knew] that he was OK, and he was on the other side of the surgery," Brian Munn told WBNG Binghamton, "I knew that it was all worth it."
The dad who saved his daughter from a kidnapper
Aaron Edson could have been named negotiator of the year for saving his daughter from an apparent kidnapper. Edson and his wife Stephanie awoke in the middle of the night in their home near Salt Lake City in November 2014 to discover their 5-year-old daughter missing from her bed. Edson, panicked, soon found her outside in the arms of a stranger who had broken into the house. When he asked the man what he was doing with the little girl, the burglar replied that he was in danger and wouldn't be harmed if he had a child with him.
"I said, 'Really, I want to help you but she has got to stay,'" Edson told Good Morning America. "I just walked up to him and held out my arm and he just handed her over peacefully and calmly, and no one's voice ever got raised."
In the end, all was well for little Lainey, and the would-be kidnapper was arrested.
The dad whose first aid training saved his own son
When Ray Adams got CPR training, he didn't expect to have to use it the same day—and on his own son. Shortly after receiving the CPR training, the youth football coach was watching his 11-year-old son RayShawn play in a scrimmage in Hartford, Conn. in August 2014, when RayShawn was knocked over and seemed to be struggling to breathe. Adams started performing chest compressions and blowing into his son's mouth, until RayShawn gasped in air and began breathing again.
Adams now says he hopes all coaches get the same training to be able to step in when tragedy strikes.
The dad who saved his baby from a burning building
Throwing your baby out the window may not sound like a heroic act, but in the case of Liam Crocket, it was exactly that.
When his home in East Kilbride, Scotland caught fire in November 2014, Crocket acted fast. "The floor began to cave in so I grabbed Lilly, put a blanket over her and held her tight to my chest," he told the Daily Record. "I knew we had to go out the window. Luckily, there were people outside so I flung Lilly down into someone's arms. Once she was safe, I jumped."
Mother Sarah MacKenzie was away from the house when the fire broke out, and was very grateful for Crocket's heroic rescue of their 1-year-old.
"It was his quick thinking that saved our baby's life," she told the Daily Record.
The dad who fought a bear to save his son
Greg Alexander awoke while camping in Great Smoky Mountains National Park in early June to the sound of his teenage son's screams. A bear had attacked the 16-year-old, Gabriel, in his sleep, and Alexander saw the bear "dragging him across the ground by his head," according to the Citizen-Times. Worried that he might already be too late to save his son, Alexander jumped on the bear's back, hit it in the face and threw rocks at it until it finally let go and went away.
The two had to hike several miles to safety, and though Gabriel's scalp and facial injuries were serious, he is expected to make a full recovery—all thanks to his dad's bravery in the face of a beast.

Step-by-step guide reveals best practices for enhancing Web sites with Ajax
- A step-by-step guide to enhancing Web sites with Ajax.
- Uses progressive enhancement techniques to ensure graceful degradation (which makes sites usable in all browsers).
- Shows readers how to write their own Ajax scripts instead of relying on third-party libraries.
Web site designers love the idea of Ajax--of creating Web pages in which information can be updated without refreshing the entire page. But for those who aren't hard-core programmers, enhancing pages using Ajax can be a challenge. Even more of a challenge is making sure those pages work for all users. In Bulletproof Ajax, author Jeremy Keith demonstrates how developers comfortable with CSS and (X)HTML can build Ajax functionality without frameworks, using the ideas of graceful degradation and progressive enhancement to ensure that the pages work for all users. Throughout this step-by-step guide, his emphasis is on best practices with an approach to building Ajax pages called Hijax, which improves flexibility and avoids worst-case scenarios.

Saginaw Valley State University student Erik Breidinger recently earned top honors for presenting his community-minded research on the Kawkawlin River. A communication and geography double major from Auburn, he won first place in the undergraduate paper presentation category at the American Association of Geographers East Lakes/West Lakes conference Friday, Oct. 14 at Northern Michigan University.
Breidinger presented his paper titled "Mapping land cover changes along the Kawkawlin River using object-based classification of 1938 and 2014 aerial photography." Marty Arford, SVSU associate professor of geography, and Rhett Mohler, SVSU assistant professor of geography, traveled with him for the conference and have provided research guidance.
To conduct the necessary research addressed in the paper, Breidinger and Mohler used eCognition Developer software that employed remote sensing to gather imagery to study Earth's surface.
"It looks at how we've used the land, and how that's changed from 1938 to 2014," Breidinger said, "using a combination of really old paper photographs and new, really high tech satellite imagery, and how we merged those together to make a map where you can instantly tell what's changed and what hasn't."
The 15-minute presentation was followed by a question and answer session at the conference.
"The Q and A was really helpful because I'm an undergraduate, and everybody else at these conferences are usually master's or Ph.D. students," Breidinger said. "They always have really good questions and they kind of suggest places for me to go with the research."
Breidinger's research was supported through SVSU's Saginaw Bay Environmental Science Institute and the SVSU Foundation Resource Grant program. The grants allowed Breidinger and Mohler to purchase the software package, giving SVSU students unlimited access for research purposes.
Previously, the geography department only had access to tools that broke images down into pixel. From there, they would have had to compare the pixel colors to differentiate what has changed over time from what has not. Breidinger explained that this analysis method would have made the incorporation of old black and white photography very difficult.
The new software uses a program "that doesn't rely on pixels, but breaks images into objects. So now, we can say this polygon got bigger or changed in shape," Breidinger explained.
Following his regional honor, Breidinger will present his research paper at the national level in Boston next April. There, all winning projects from the regional competitions will congregate. Breidinger and Mohler attended the national conference last year as well, which took place in San Francisco.
Mohler, the professor, said " the end result of this project was to create land cover maps of the Kawkawlin River watershed, and to prove that eCognition software would be able to classify land cover types in older, 1930s black and white aerial photography. Both goals were accomplished."
Breidinger has a few more semesters to complete at SVSU. During that time, he plans to remain actively involved in research within the geography department as well as competing for SVSU's forensics team, which he credits for much of his love for public speaking. The forensics team, advised by Amy Pierce, associate professor of communications at SVSU, competes in both state and national tournaments. Breidinger has been successful in that competition circuit too, earning several first-place finishes.
They say everyone loves a good comeback story.
And right now there's a comeback tale playing out across the state that Craig Douglas is excited about.
Douglas, the dean of SVSU's College of Education, said the demand for teaching jobs in Michigan is experiencing a stark rebound after years of decline. As a result, aspiring teachers who once faced an uncertain job market upon graduation now have plenty of options.
"Teaching graduates are a hot commodity right now," Douglas said. "The market is very aggressive in Michigan and it's happened quickly."
Recent data supports Douglas' claim. According to Tom Barnikow, assistant director of Career Services at SVSU, 546 teaching openings were posted in 2012 to the Cardinal Career Network, an SVSU service that tracks job openings for students and alumni. Last year, that number swelled to 849 — a 35.6 percent increase — and there is reason to believe openings will continue to grow as seasoned teachers retire or take buyouts. Some estimate nearly one-third of the teaching jobs in the state will turn over in the next few years.
"SVSU has a very good reputation of producing high-level teachers," Barnikow said. "But with this influx of jobs in the state of Michigan, when districts come to us, we just don't have enough people to fill them all."
William McDonald is familiar with this demand. The Saginaw High School graduate arrived at SVSU in 2010, when demand for teachers was at its lowest. After the elementary education major graduated with a bachelor's degree in December 2015, he had eight job offers waiting for him. Those offers came without him ever putting in a single application.
"I'm so thankful to all the faculty and staff who were so supportive of me," said McDonald, who accepted a job this year at the Saginaw-based K-8 charter school, Francis Reh Public School Academy.
"Having all those offers when I graduated was phenomenal and it just shows what an awesome program SVSU has. Hard work and dedication pay off."
The resurgence of teaching jobs in Michigan was, in some ways, the result of a perfect storm, experts say.
In the early 2000s, as manufacturing jobs dried up and the state's economy slowed, the population started to decline as people left the state. According to U.S. Census Bureau counts, Michigan lost nearly 55,000 citizens between 2000 and 2010, making it the only state in the nation to decline in size during that time.
With the decline in population came a lower demand for teaching jobs, as school enrollments dropped, districts downsized and many teachers were laid off to cut costs. "You can't find a teaching job in Michigan" became an infamous warning cry and students elected to pursue fields outside of education.
Jennifer Moeller remembered that dry spell for prospective teachers although, ultimately, she "was blessed" with a job offer within one year of earning a bachelor's degree in education from SVSU in 2002.
"I was one of 100 applicants for some of these jobs," she said. "In some cases, I was hand-delivering my résumés to try to get an interview. A lot of the students I graduated with, meanwhile, were leaving the state."
Moeller was able to pay bills with the help of her husband's salary while she waited for an opportunity locally. That opportunity arrived in 2003 when Saginaw Township Community Schools hired her. She remains there today, working as a kindergarten teacher at Hemmeter Elementary School.
"It's very different now," she said of the state's K-12 job prospects. "We're also seeing a huge need for qualified substitute teachers. When I was in school, it was hard to even find a job as a sub."
A shift in the job market happened in the last 12 to 18 months when a stabilizing population coupled with veteran teachers stepping aside drove in-state demand to a level unmatched since the late 1990s, Douglas said. That demand is even greater given the aggressive ways other states recruit Michigan's teaching graduates. Douglas and Barnikow said states such as Texas, Arizona and Alaska frequently recruit in Michigan, particularly at SVSU. Recent surveys indicated more than 95 percent of SVSU education graduates found full-time work or enrolled in graduate schools.
"If there is a candidate from SVSU, they do get a second look because school administrators know how much experience our graduates have," Douglas said.
"Our program provides students with three times the amount of field experience other programs would provide, and when it comes to teaching, nothing beats experience."
Douglas and Barnikow have now turned their attention to recruiting for the College of Education, where enrollment declined 55 percent in the last five years in part because of the earlier K-12 jobs dry spell. They've organized informational sessions, talked to parents at orientation and used social media to try to get the word out about the dire need for good teachers.
"The majority think the jobs aren't there so parents tell students to go in different directions, away from teaching," Barnikow said. "We're trying to change the mindset from the last 10 years. There are teaching jobs in the state."
Whether you are seeking teacher certification for the first time, renewing your certification or pursuing graduate work to take you to the next level, discover why over 11,600 teachers have chosen the nationally accredited programs at SVSU.

Jaeleen Davis at first didn't notice how her blood seemed to spill into the shape of a butterfly on the spot where she fell from the sky.
Her mother snapped photos of the curious scene days after Davis dropped nearly 30 feet onto the concrete floor of an empty outdoor amphitheater on Detroit's riverfront. Overwhelmed with agony from a fractured vertebrae and the bone protruding from her wrist, the 21-year-old wasn't aware of the pattern forming in red beneath her broken body in the moments after the fall. Photos provided her with that visual much later.
Other details did not elude Davis on Saturday, July 16, 2016. She recalled plenty in her account of the day: The Hollywood Vampires concert she attended at DTE Energy Music Theater earlier that evening; the friends after the show inviting her to join them for a riverside stroll in Detroit; the way the Canadian lights sparkled against the water; how the night's setting grew increasingly dim as the group drifted further from the cityscape's glow; the grass crunching softly beneath her feet while she walked; the sudden, shocking absence of any surface at all beneath her feet; and the fall. That deep, frightening fall.
"I don't remember the impact, but I do remember laying there, seeing a light and thinking, 'This is the light people talk about when they recall near-death experiences,'" Davis said. "I was thinking, 'OK, I'm gone.'"
The source of that light, she eventually realized, was a distant bulb in the dark. Still, Davis wasn't certain she was alive until a responding ambulance further illuminated the surroundings.
Medics spent minutes stabilizing her. Surgeons spent hours resetting split bones. Davis spent weeks in hospital rooms and rehabilitation clinics before medical experts cleared her to walk again.
"The doctor said that fall should have killed me, or if I had fallen slightly different, that I would have been paralyzed," Davis said.
The doctor also said that Davis should consider pausing all her previous plans — and there were plenty — in favor of months of rest and recovery.
The SVSU communication and criminal justice double major was due to study abroad in Sydney, Australia from February to July 2017, and she had been on schedule to graduate that same December. She was an active advocate for a nonprofit organization benefiting sick and ailing children, with a big fundraiser set for September 2016. She placed in the top 10 during her fourth consecutive appearance at the Miss Michigan pageant five weeks before her fall, and a fifth campaign for the crown was in the planning stages. And her ambitions as an actress landed Davis a small role on an NBC primetime TV show in January 2016. She was hoping to capitalize on the exposure with more acting gigs.
Davis feared following her doctor's advice of pausing those plans for months meant considerably delaying or outright derailing the freight train-like propulsion she spent a lifetime gathering en route to accomplishing her goals. Davis' response to the prescription: "No, thank you," she said. "If I have to show up in a wheelchair and a neck brace, I'll do it. This isn't going to stop me at all."
Family and friends weren't surprised by her persevering flair. Some suggested her injuries would accelerate her life's momentum. For those people, such a prediction was not empty encouragement of a youthful naiveté they secretly doubted; such a prediction was backed by years of evidence.
The strength of Davis' conviction, after all, was defined by the way she turned a childhood disease that robbed her of her hair — and, for a time, her spirit — into a source of empowerment and inspiration.
The first fall of Jaeleen Davis — the one that left her largely bald for life — managed to significantly interrupt the thrust of her earliest aspirations.
Born the only child of Lisa and David Davis on March 3, 1995 in Saginaw, she showed a passion for performance arts as early as the age of 3. That was the year of one of her first memories and favorite possessions: A Fisher-Price toy stage — barely taller than her — that she used as a backdrop prop for at-home renditions of songs such as Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" and the Christian hymn, "Jesus Loves Me."
"I always made sure mom and dad were there, and my stuffed animals too," Davis said. "I would open the curtain to this little stage, sing, and then go back behind the curtain when I was done. That was the first step."
The second: Davis' mother drove her to Saginaw's Pit & Balcony Theatre to audition for an upcoming production of "Babes in Toyland," directed by Ric Roberts, now an SVSU professor of theatre. The 5-year-old earned a small role singing in the chorus.
"It was such a blast," she said. "That's what initially hooked me on becoming a performer."
Davis continued to audition and nab roles in theatre productions across Saginaw, Bay City and Midland until her parents felt she was ready for a new outlet. While browsing a magazine, her mother discovered a casting call for a child role in a 2002 Broadway production of "Oliver!" She didn't hesitate to sign up her daughter for auditions. The 7-year-old spent weeks preparing. Roberts, impressed with the young protégé's ambition for the arts, coached her for the opportunity.
"She sought out criticism of her work in ways that were well beyond her years," Roberts said. "She constantly was working on improving her work on every level."
When Davis arrived in New York, she was more than ready for the spotlight.
"I remember they wanted me to sing a few verses from 'Consider Yourself,'" Davis said of the bouncy ditty from the first act of "Oliver!"
"I started to sing the whole song."
She won a role as a chorus boy. Rehearsals were scheduled to begin in a few months. Davis returned to Michigan to prepare for the temporary move to the Big Apple with her mother.
"While I was waiting to go back to New York, I started to lose my hair," she said. "It's like I saw this dream starting to come to life, and then I felt it slipping away."
The slip started on what began as an idyllic Christmas Day in 2002. Davis awoke to her parents gifting her a black Chihuahua puppy. She played merrily with the newest addition to the Saginaw Township household. She spent the morning with her family, basking in the warm holiday glow of the moment and the prospects of her theatrical future.
Her expanding world collapsed later in the aftermath of a bath as her mother brushed Davis' hair. It was their daily routine, but on that day, something was different.
"The first thing I noticed was the hair pooling against the drain," Davis said. "Then I remember turning around, and there was more hair on the brush than on my head."
A few strokes of the comb dislodged large clumps of hair, and before daughter or mother realized it, Davis was nearly bald. What remained on her scalp fell out on its own before her 8th birthday. By then, doctors identified the culprit of her condition: alopecia universalis, a rare and severe form of a disease that convinced her immune system to attack and extract every strand of hair on her body.
The diagnosis was no death sentence. Medical experts told her she would suffer no physical consequences except for a lifetime without hair, although small patches grew back during puberty.
Her spirit sustained a deep damage, though. The wound festered for years.
Depression set in immediately. Upset by her changing appearance, the once-cheery extrovert grew introverted and withdrawn, leading her family to cancel her Broadway role.
"I don't think I cared at that point about the play," Davis said. "Even though I would have been healthy enough, my mental health was not well."
Social rejection became an issue early on. Davis, at the time of her diagnosis, was a third grade student at Saginaw's Handley Elementary School, where she once enjoyed learning and socializing. Before the end of the school year, she was completely bald, hiding her exposed scalp beneath bandanas and cheap wigs. Friends turned on her.
"They called me all sorts of names," she said.
Davis transferred between multiple schools, stopped auditioning for theatre roles and quit Girl Scouts, isolating herself from her peers during those formative years. She spent much of her time after school at home. Her parents later divorced, splitting that home in two.
"I didn't feel like I deserved to be here anymore," she said. "I didn't want to be me. I wasn't OK. There were a lot of wasted years in there."
Then she found inspiration.
"When I met her, she was not a happy kid," Maggie Varney, founder and CEO of Wigs 4 Kids, recalled of the first time Davis walked into the nonprofit's office in 2006. "She wouldn't even make eye contact with me."
Davis, then 11, was skeptical of the St. Clair Shores-based organization, which provided pricey wigs for free to children suffering from medical conditions that caused hair loss.
Her attitude upon arriving at Wigs 4 Kids wasn't unusual, Varney said. Few organizations specializing in wig production were prepared for young clientele, let alone children ailing psychologically. As a result, fitting a head for a hairpiece — a process wig producers often asked clients to perform using self-help kits — sometimes proved humiliating for children. Davis experienced such embarrassment during earlier attempts to find a suitable hairpiece.
Wigs 4 Kids, on the other hand, attempted to create a comforting experience by also providing educational and professional guidance, a facility featuring a home-like atmosphere, children's events and a network for families sharing similar circumstances.
"It's not just about hair," Varney said. "It's all about social acceptance. That's what we try to create for our kids. They don't really know this is therapy. They're just busy having a great time, being a kid, being creative and relating to others."
Wigs 4 Kids helped heal Davis psychologically, but it wasn't an immediate fix. A rare smile appeared the first time she fastened a hairpiece to her head there. She later attended one of the nonprofit's social gatherings. Then another, and another. She eventually made regular eye contact with Varney. Hello and goodbye hugs became routine for the pair.
Varney gradually chipped away at the walls Davis built around herself following her hair loss. A public breakthrough — away from the Wigs 4 Kids center — came years later when the 13-year-old decided to enter the Bay City Mall-hosted 2009 Sunburst Beauty Pageant.
"I just wanted to see how I would do," said Davis, who hid from judges the fact her hair was a wig.
She won the contest. Davis, though, was most satisfied with the victory claimed in one of the competition's sub-categories: Best hair.
"That was a defining moment for me," she said. "That was my real hair to them. I realized, a hairpiece can fix a child who is aching to feel normal again. I felt normal — I am normal — because of a hairpiece."
After that, she began competing in more pageants, no longer withholding that she wore a hairpiece. Instead, she embraced her Wigs 4 Kids experience as part of her platform campaign. That tradition continued during her Miss Michigan appearances.
She championed the nonprofit in other ways, too. Davis became a mentor to the children who were aided by Wigs 4 Kids. She supported fundraisers that paid for the expensive hairpieces.
She attended Lansing press conferences outside the State Capitol to urge lawmakers to pass a Wigs 4 Kids-endorsed bill requiring private insurance companies to cover costs for hairpieces of Michigan children in need.
Her rediscovered confidence influenced success in other aspects of life, renewing her passion for education as well as the arts.
Excelling academically, she enrolled in SVSU's Great Lakes Bay Early College program at 16 while still attending Standish-Sterling High School. Later, she performed research with advisor James Bowers, SVSU assistant professor of criminal justice, on crime in colleges. In September 2015, she presented her paper at the Midwestern Criminal Justice Association Conference, where she was approached by graduate school recruiters.
Davis was unsure if she would take one of them up on their offer after graduation. If she followed that route, her plan would involve pursuing a career as an FBI analyst.
Or she could play one on TV. Davis in recent years returned to acting. Represented by Bravo Talent Agency, she nabbed a role in a Dell computer TV advertisement in 2014. She was also cast in a small part in NBC's primetime police drama, "Chicago PD."
In the episode titled "Now I'm God," which aired in January 2016, Davis portrayed a cancer patient defrauded by a doctor. She wore no wig for the role. The barely-there hair on her head was her own. She also played a cancer patient in the Dell ad. Davis said she likely nabbed both roles because of her condition. She embraced the idea that alopecia universalis could play a significant role in her acting career.
"What I thought was a curse was actually a blessing," she said. "It's opened the door for me to do things I've always wanted to do."
Maggie Varney cried the Sunday she learned of Davis' near-fatal fall. Then Davis' mother, who delivered the news to Varney, quickly conveyed the day's second message: "Jaeleen wants you to know she will have to reschedule her Monday appointment at Wigs 4 Kids."
Tears turned to laughter.
"Jaeleen didn't even know if she would be able to walk again at that point, and here she is, staying on top of her calendar," Varney said.
"Can you understand the tenacity and the chutzpah it takes to do something like that, to be that way. She is a real person and she has her struggles, but she turns getting knocked down into getting back up like no one you've seen."
Varney counted herself among those who believed Davis would make good on her goal of bouncing back strong from her injuries.
"Knowing Jaeleen, she will find a way to take this and turn it into something that will benefit herself and others," Varney said. "She has a very different way of looking at things than most people."
That way of looking at things extended to her view of the bloodied imprint she left behind on a cold concrete floor in Detroit. Others might have seen such a scene and recognized it as some random-shaped splotch of rose-red gore. In the Rorschach test of her life, though, Jaeleen Davis saw something quite different down there. She saw a butterfly, its wings spread, symbolic for her of the strength needed to lift her up from where she had fallen.
It wouldn't be the first time she achieved such flight.
A new cooperative agreement will grant Saginaw Valley State University premedical students early assurance of admission to the Central Michigan University College of Medicine through the Early Assurance Program.
"We're very excited about this partnership, which will strengthen our relationship with a recognized and respected university. It will provide an enhanced opportunity for SVSU's premedical students who demonstrate a desire to practice medicine in Michigan with an emphasis on rural and underserved regions," said CMU College of Medicine Dean Dr. George E. Kikano.
The agreement — signed Oct. 19 — will enhance opportunities for SVSU premed students to navigate more easily through the highly competitive CMU College of Medicine admissions process by:
• Waiving supplemental application fees;
• Processing endorsed students on an earlier admissions timeline;
• Facilitating engagement opportunities between SVSU premed students and existing CMU College of Medicine students; and
• Reserving up to three positions for endorsed SVSU students to be admitted.
This is the same agreement the College of Medicine has in place with CMU, giving both Saginaw Valley State University and CMU premed students the same opportunity to compete for admission.
"It's just one more way we will be achieving our mission to produce physicians with a passion for serving the people of Michigan who need them most," Kikano said.
Students will be required to meet the College of Medicine's academic standards to participate in the EAP, which is designed as a three-year pilot.
"We're proud to offer outstanding undergraduate preparation in our curriculum and in our advising to empower students to gain admission to medical school," said SVSU President Donald J. Bachand. "We look forward to partnering with CMU's new College of Medicine to identify our students who align with their core values and mission. Those values may be displayed by virtue of being a first-generation college student, graduating from a low-income high school, graduating from a medically underserved urban or rural area, or demonstrating an interest in a high-need medical specialty area."
The CMU College of Medicine welcomed its inaugural class of students in 2013, which will graduate in May 2017. The college now has a full complement of students among all four years of study, with 80 percent of students coming from the state of Michigan.
Saginaw Valley State University will host some 500 high school students from across Michigan for the 14th annual Advocates for Latino Student Advancement in Michigan Education (ALSAME) Conference Friday, Oct. 21. The event will be held in SVSU's Ryder Center and Curtiss Hall; it runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The event will feature keynote speaker Carlos Ojeda Jr., founder of CoolSpeak: The Youth Engagement Company, at around 2:40 p.m. A former college administrator, Ojeda focuses on teaching students across the country that their voices can be powerful through events meant to both educate and empower them.
ALSAME is a non-profit organization that works to aid Latino students in their college endeavors. In bringing high school students to different universities across the state of Michigan, the organization gives them the opportunity to be introduced to a collegiate setting and equips them with information and training regarding college and career readiness. The theme of the conference is "Embracing Our Heritage and Achieving Success for ME." Workshop presenters will include SVSU faculty members, staff, students, and community members, as well as ALSAME members.
The organization advocates for the involvement of parents, teachers, advisors and counselors in preparing Latino students for academic success. The conference will provide information regarding student admission, financial aid, career and housing information as well as special interest opportunities for Latino students.
The conference will give visiting students the chance to tour the SVSU campus and participate in several workshops throughout the day. Lunch and transportation will be provided.
Sponsors of the ALSAME conference include SVSU, Eastern Michigan University GEAR UP, Grand Valley State University GEAR UP, University of Michigan, Michigan State University, the Saginaw Community Foundation and the Imlay City School District.

The following profile appears in the fall 2016 edition of Reflections magazine. Following the profile is online exclusive material featuring a timeline of Gene Hamilton's career and his thoughts on aspects of his professional life.
There are two kinds of people who say "yes" to a challenge. One reluctantly says "yes" out of obligation. The other enthusiastically says "yes" out of faith.
In his 47 years at SVSU, Gene Hamilton showcased his faith in the institution as he answered "yes" to multiple challenges, charges and positions given to him, knowing that the request was always intended to be in the best interest of the university, for the good of its students and the good of the community. That faith and his success in executing it were recognized in June 2016, when Hamilton — surrounded by family, cohorts and supporters — witnessed the renaming of Cardinal Gym to Hamilton Gymnasium, days before his retirement.
Many who know Hamilton know the story of how he arrived at SVSU in 1969 via a chance encounter at Owosso St. Paul High School with Paul Gill, an admissions representative who later retired from his position in the SVSU financial aid office. Gill talked to Hamilton — then a coach, teacher and guidance counselor at St. Paul — and saw a hard-working, multiple hat-wearing guy who would be a perfect fit for a fledgling college headed toward its imagined future.
When Hamilton and Mary Pat, Gene's wife, met with the college's president at the time, Sam Marble, Hamilton sensed the palpable sincerity of Marble's vision of a great university. The Hamiltons decided a leap of faith was in order, and in 1969, he joined the admissions staff.
Over the course of nearly a half-century, Hamilton worked in cooperative education, economic development, international programs, conference bureau, advancement, community affairs and government relations. And, along the way, he coached a few basketball games, helped identify the "Cardinal" as SVSU's mascot, and secured his Ph.D.
Now that he is a retired Cardinal, Hamilton looks back — not so much at his many titles and positions — but at the life lessons that came from the challenges he accepted.
"I learned from every president I worked for and a lot from colleagues," Hamilton said. "That group taught me how to view both the academic as well as business side of a university."
He said "the greatest lessons" he learned from those colleagues were perseverance and the value of forming friendships.
"It's really always been about people; whether working with legislators or students, it's been about forming relationships," he said. "That's my life at SVSU and that's the way my life will go on. I'll continually look to see if there's something I can do to help. And I'll be out in the community doing the same."
The following is a Reflections magazine online exclusive, featuring a deeper dive into Hamilton's history at SVSU and his thoughts on his 47-year career there, starting with a timeline of his professional career:
Hamilton also shared his thoughts on certain aspects of his career, beginning with his origins with SVSU's sports programs in the late 1960s and early '70s:
"You have to remember, Athletics had no facilities (at the time). The administration wanted Athletics, and wanted to start with golf and basketball. They had someone else in mind as basketball coach, but asked if I would be the assistant. In the middle of the planning, that coach decided not to come to SVC and so I was asked, 'will you coach?' I said, 'yes.'
In the third year, the school hired an athletic director who was also to be coach. He was here about a month and wanted to focus on the bigger picture and I was asked if I would take over as coach. I said 'yes.' That's when Cardinal Gym was built, 1971."
On his government relations role:
"I loved the early days. Legislators were friends. I remember the days when I'd pick up Jon Cisky (then a Republican state senator) and Jim O'Neill (then a Democrat in the state House), and we'd stop, get coffee and donuts, and drive to Lansing together. Over the years, that camaraderie has been replaced by partisanship. Partisanship has become so intense. Bi-partisanship and teamwork is challenging, but it is so much better."
Theoretical physicist Michio Kaku — world-famous for bringing science to popular culture — will speak at Saginaw Valley State University Monday, Oct. 24.
His presentation, titled "The Next 20 Years, How Science Will Revolutionize Medicine, the Economy and Our Way of Life," is scheduled for 7 p.m. in SVSU's Malcolm Field Theatre for Performing Arts. The event is free and open to the public.
As the co-founder of string field theory and a professor of physics at the City University of New York, Kaku has written several New York Times Bestselling books about the future of physics including "Hyperspace" and "Physics of the Impossible." He also has contributed science-related essays for publications including Newsweek, Popular Mechanics, and Variety. Kaku is a regular guest on TV talk shows on networks such as ABC, BBC, CBS, CNBC, CNN, MSNBC, Fox Business, and Fox News. Stephen Colbert, David Letterman and Jon Stewart are among the hosts who have booked Kaku as a guest.
Kaku's appearances on shows appealing to a wide range of audiences helped propel Kaku as a popularizer of science in the same vein as Carl Sagan, said Matthew Vannette, an SVSU associate professor of physics.
"He presents science in a very engaging way that the general population can understand," Vannette said. "He takes these complicated ideas and expresses them in terms that someone who is not a specialist can understand."
Vannette said Kaku's appearance is generating excitement on campus, particularly among his physics students. Kaku's value, though, extends to his ability to present ideas not exclusive to science.
"In particular, when he discusses the topic of futurism, it has a lot of potential to spark conversations across the disciplines, from science to psychology to history," Vannette said. "For me, personally, that's one of the hallmarks of a university: cross-discipline conversation."
Kaku is among several thought-provoking speakers scheduled to appear as part of this year's SVSU Visiting Scholars and Artists Series. The series will run during both the fall and winter semesters and is part of SVSU's community-minded mission to bring leading scholars to campus and share their insights with residents of the Great Lakes Bay Region.
All lectures are open to the public and admission is free of charge.
Kaku's visit also is part of SVSU's William and Julia Edwards Lecture in Philosophy and Religion. The William and Julia Edwards Lecture in Philosophy and Religion was established through a gift from the couple in 1993. It annually brings distinguished scholars to SVSU to discuss timely and relevant religious and philosophical topics.

New App Allows Mom to Watch Embryos Develop After IVF
Feb 2016
Every hopeful mother knows the excitement and anxiety of waiting for that first positive pregnancy test, wishing there was just some way they could know the exact moment baby is conceived. Luckily, for women undergoing IVF at Institut Marquès Barcelona, in Spain, there's an app for that.
The developing app, called Embryomobile, allows parents-to-be the opportunity to see their embryos develop prior to implantation in mom's body, using a technology called Embryoscope. The embryo incubators are equipped with a camera that streams directly to the app. As Dr. Marisa López-Teijó, head of the Assisted Reproduction Service at Institut Marquès explains, it's a feature her patients are loving. "Patients undergoing In Vitro Fertilization cycles constantly ask themselves how their embryos may be. Its fantastic that they are now able to see it by themselves and know what is happening at every moment," she says.
But this Embryoscope technology isn't just for hopeful parents. It allows doctors to keep a better eye on embryos during initial cellular divisions, helping them to determine which are the most viable. And the ability to view embryos without removing them from the incubator keeps them in the best condition.
On her blog, López-Teijó explains her team has realized many patients have an intuition when it comes to their embryos.
"Dr. Angel López asserts many patients know before we do which embryos will be transferred, and come to him asking whether they were right. Curiously enough, they usually are!" she says.
Fertility and pregnancy planning has gotten more and more interactive between moms-to-be and doctors, with the creation of pregnancy and fertility apps, and this app is no exception, allowing patients to feel as if they are in the lab with their IVF doctors. And now when baby grows up and asks to see baby pictures, you can do one better, and show off those embryo photos.

US President Donald Trump has doubled down in accusing Iran of executing explosions on two oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman, saying the incident had Iran "written all over it." However, as US-Iranian tensions soared, Mr Trump dismissed previous threats by Tehran that in case of conflict it could block the Hormuz Strait — a narrow seaway vital to the world's oil supplies.
"They're not going to be closing it," he said in an interview on Fox News television.
Speaking hours after the US military released grainy footage it said showed an Iranian patrol boat removing an "unexploded limpet mine" from one of the tankers, Mr Trump said "Iran did do it."
"You know they did it because you saw the boat," Mr Trump told the Fox and Friends show.
"I guess one of the mines didn't explode and it's probably got essentially Iran written all over it."
"You saw the boat at night, successfully trying to take the mine off — and that was exposed," he added.
Iran rejects the US accusations.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif tweeted that the US had "immediately jumped to make allegations against Iran without a shred of factual or circumstantial evidence." He accused Washington of seeking to "sabotage diplomacy" as Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe visited Iran.
One of the targeted vessels is owned by a Japanese company while the other was Norwegian-operated.
Iran has repeatedly warned in the past that it could block the Hormuz Strait in a relatively low-tech, high-impact countermeasure to any attack by the far more powerful United States.
Doing so, would disrupt traffic of oil tankers between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, which leads to the Indian Ocean and global export routes.
"If the hostility of enemies increase, we will be able to do so," Iran's armed forces chief of staff, Mohammad Bagheri, told semi-official ISNA in April.
Mr Trump played down the threat.
"It's not going to be closed, it's not going to be closed for long and they know it. They've been told in very strong terms," Mr Trump told Fox News.
Mr Trump also said he won't fire White House counsellor Kellyanne Conway after a federal watchdog agency recommended her removal for repeatedly violating a law that limits political activity by government workers.
Mr Trump told Fox & Friends that he was briefed on the Office of Special Counsel investigation on Thursday and said "it looks to me like they're trying to take away her right of free speech and that's just not fair".
OSC, which is unrelated to special counsel Robert Mueller's office, said in a letter to Mr Trump that Ms Conway has been a "repeat offender" of the Hatch Act by disparaging Democratic presidential candidates while speaking in her official capacity during television interviews and on social media.
Mr Trump said of Ms Conway: "She's got to have a right of responding to questions."
