The film's theme focuses on Vesicovaginal fistula condition and underaged marriage among young women, narrating the story of a thirteen-year-old girl, Halima (Zubaida Ibrahim Fagge), whose poor uneducated parents marry her off to Sani (Tijjani Faraga), a 60-year-old man, who constantly rapes her. Halima gets pregnant and suffers Vesicovaginal Fistula (VVF) after child delivery; she's consequently abandoned by her husband and discriminated against in the society. Zara (Stephanie Okereke), a medical doctor who also suffered a horrific childhood meets Halima; she tries to help her get through her situation and also save other young women under such circumstance.

Muslims have suspended history. The main ideas dictating their morals and behavior, and the foundations of their belief system, were never challenged publicly in Muslim countries, official representatives of the religious institution, preachers, and even ordinary citizens do not allow it. Texts, audios, and videos attempting to oppose or reread Islam's main or secondary concepts and regulations are often, effectively, banned from circulating between people. Terrorists are not isolated elements in the Muslim community, they represent the far end, from that end to the middle you will find Muslims believing in ideas circling Takfirism to less extreme degrees, like Muslims who think now is not the time for establishing the Islamic state or Muslims who don't condone terrorism but sympathize with its motives.
Takfirism: A radical approach to Islam by which Muslims who profess to believe in Islam but don't follow the takfirists' way are labeled infidels and become fair game to be blown up in pursuit of the caliphate or Islamic supremacy through terror.
Muslims with the understanding that only a flourishing love for sciences and a booming economy can achieve prosperity for the Muslim world exist, but these Muslims are neither popular nor active enough, and Muslim youths would not find a science and economy discourse as attractive as the one with jihad against a well-defined enemy and gorgeous chicks in heaven.
After every terrorist attack by Muslims, mainstream western media begins appeasing Muslims and Islamists via the routine the-terrorists-were-not-really-Muslims articles, just a bunch of rogue elements from the Muslim world. This is not true because a dominant ideology in a group of people, including its extreme ends, exists in a spectrum or a cloud, not single, separated nodes. For example, in a society of Muslims, it is not one person loves music and life and the individual just next to him on the scale towards the extremist terrorist is a terrorist. Beliefs in a peaceful Islam and a terrorist Islam have a big blurred border.
When ideas conducive to terrorism are shielded from criticism they become more rancid and cancerous. Promoting moderate Islam as a counter-terrorism method is absolutely useless if not meaningless, how would you sell your version of Islam to extremists with the dogmatic conviction that they understand what Islam is and think their interpretation is the correct one? You cannot, not without challenging, deconstructing, and disintegrating their ideas, otherwise they will disintegrate us. And challenging the books of terrorism is not enough, Islam itself, as a religion and state, must be subjected to challenge, like Christianity is. Challenge will lead to skepticism and skepticism curbs extremism.
Instead of discussing whether or not we should kill infidels, apostates, and gays, we should discuss what is Allah, what is mercy, what is good, and what is evil, discussion means less absolutes means less negative motivation means less explosions.
Muslims suffer radical Islam almost weekly.
But no, the media doesn't want to offend Muslims, or provoke Muslims? fearing a Charlie Hebdo? Have we been taken hostages by the religion of peace?

Vuelta a Espana highlights will be on ITV4
ITV4 will be showing highlights of the Vuelta a Espana (the Tour of Spain) each night. Saturday's episode is on at 10pm because it's an evening time trial and Sunday's is also on at 10pm because of La Liga (which might apply on future Sundays too). But mostly it's in a 7pm slot with each programme available online via the ITV Player shortly afterwards.
They don't seem to be covering the race live at all, but that's okay. The highlights show is extremely good and it'll be much easier to avoid hearing or reading about stage results before broadcast than with the Tour.
If you're a casual cycling fan, I urge you to give the Vuelta a go. It's an easier race to follow as the points and mountains classifications seem so much less significant than at the Tour. Most years, there's action in the general classification almost every day, on top of which most years the field is very strong.
So set the highlights on 'series record' and also subscribe to get emails from this site. I'll look to get a recap out each week (although I can't yet say on what days they'll appear).
The race starts on Saturday.
This is an updated version of last year's article about UK TV coverage of the Vuelta a Espana.

By now, you probably have heard about the Trump supporter who asked the candidate a question at a campaign event, and in the process revealed some startling information.
As per CNN: "We have a problem in this country. It's called Muslims," an unidentified man who spoke at a question-and-answer town hall event in Rochester, New Hampshire asked the mogul at a rally Thursday night. "You know our current president is one. You know he's not even an American."
A seemingly bewildered Trump interrupted the man, chuckling, "We need this question. This is the first question."
"Anyway, we have training camps growing where they want to kill us," the man, wearing a "Trump" T-shirt, continued. "That's my question: When can we get rid of them?"
"We're going to be looking at a lot of different things," Trump replied. "You know, a lot of people are saying that and a lot of people are saying that bad things are happening. We're going to be looking at that and many other things." (http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/17/politics/donald-trump-obama-muslim-new-hampshire/)
In my opinion, if someone asks you "how long have you been beating your wife?" you can properly object that it's a loaded question which assumes the conclusion (unless it's true, of course). The man's question assumes that Obama is a Muslim, that he's not an American, and oh yes, that there are training camps, apparently well known to the man asking the question and therefore well known to the government as well, and that no one is doing anything about them. And that our country's "problem" are "Muslims." Not radical jihadist Muslims, no; not terrorist Muslims, nope. Muslims, period, which, if words mean anything, means ALL Muslims since no distinctions of any kind are made.
Mr. Trump's response accepts all of this by being silent; it is my recollection that when Mr. Trump disagrees with something he hears, he is not bashful about mentioning it. He has been known to interrupt persons who say something he believes is untrue; in fact, it is a trait for him to interrupt others in this way. Does he not object to anything the man said; wasn't at least some of it untrue as far as Trump knows?
So are we to understand that he really doesn't think Obama is a Muslim and that he does believe Obama is an American. Or does my memory deceive me? Wasn't Donald Trump the most vocal and well know "birther" in the world? Are Muslims the "problem," Mr. Trump?
Trump's explanations in his own tweets later on are a wonder of misdirection and irrationality. Here are a couple:
"If I would have challenged the man, the media would have accused me of interfering with that man's right of free speech. A no win situation!" ( http://www.newsmax.com/Headline/Donald-Trump-Twitter-Iowa-Obama/2015/09/19/id/692389/ )
This is a joke, right? The Trump supporter had his say, and others have the absolute right to say that, in their opinion, he is wrong. The First Amendment is NOT immunity to disagreement or criticism of what you've said. In fact, it is the protection of the right to disagree and criticize to what anyone has said. Does Donald Trump have any understanding of this?
Here is the other amazing tweet: "Am I morally obligated to defend the president every time somebody says something bad or controversial about him? I don't think so!" Actually the problem wasn't just that what was said was "bad" or "controversial" - it was that it was untrue and/or bigoted.
When a questioner called Obama an "Arab" at a John McCain campaign event in 2008, McCain DID correct the woman who said it. He did it politely but clearly and he went as far to say that Obama was a good man and good American. He was lauded in the press for this correction. McCain earned much respect with his response. What negative consequences did he suffer?
Well, apparently McCain DID suffer some consequences. I suspect that with his reasonable response McCain LOST some of the enthusiasm and votes that Trump has garnered because McCain was not a coward, not a bigot and not a fraud. Trump, on the other hand, has no problem accepting a statement that paints "Muslims"without any disqualifier as the "problem," that paints Obama as one of those problem Muslims and states that the President of the United States is not an American. To hold one's tongue in the face of such a question is not free speech - it's cowardice.

|← Stress
|Consciousness and the Two Track Mind →
The nature of this assignment is twofold. The first part analyzes the situations which make the application of psychological treatment technique impossible. The accent has been made on the practical evidence aggregated in the works of the most acknowledges scholars in this field, both the domestic and international ones. The second part of the assignment analyzes mistakes commonly perpetrated by parents before their child reaches the age of nine, which, according to the popular academic opinion, is the age when the overwhelming majority of our psychological predispositions are formed.
Although this area of psychology currently remains impoverished conceptually, the scholars and practitioners have expressed multiple convergent opinions that a significant number of individual patients' peculiarities impede the application of unorthodox treatment technique, known as prescribed symptom (McGodlrick, 1998). The cornerstone of this technique is the doctor's recommendation to act the way, which fully match the description of symptoms suffered by the patient (Krause, 2002). The most common situations, when this treatment approach is vigorously prohibited are the following: when a patient was subjected to a violent activity of the assailant (both psychological and physical duress match the requirements) and when a patient was a former criminal himself/herself, and the treatment is prescribed to prevent recidivism.
Under the circumstances of the first discussed phenomenon, the patients usually demonstrate the inclination to escape negative circumstances, which can be hypothetically inflicted to them by activities of the criminals. Medically, these manifestations are engendered by negative past experience of patients. What is important in the paradigm of this psychological field is the fact that these manifestations can be detrimental for the patient. Generally, the objective of the discussed therapeutic solution is that the patient does not act as the doctor recommends for a week, but the practice indicates that sometimes the patient does exactly as he/she is instructed. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that if the patient tells that he/she is inclined to commit suicide or to inflict bodily damages, the doctor has to do his/her best to avert this type of activity.
One of the most fundamental pillars of the contemporary psychological science is that the majority of habits and individual subconscious predispositions are formulated before human beings reach the age of nine years (Krause, 2002). Following this assumption, contemporary psychological communities strongly recommend the parents to exercise particular scrutiny while implementing their upbringing techniques. The accent should be on prevention of violent demeanor predispositions and on cultivation of communicational skills of a child. Failure to conduct these procedures accordingly may potentially result in the serious mental disorders and inability to communicate fluently in the future business and social lives.
First and foremost, the leading pedagogical and psychological activists highly recommend to regulate the way the child is punished by his/her parents. To be more exact, parents are strongly admonished to avoid physical and excessive mental punishments which they apply to correct behavior of their children. Personal sufferings experienced by a child during this stage of development can be accumulated in the subliminal section of child's mind and are likely to be reflected when a child grows up. The practice illustrates that in future these children commonly take revenge on their parents either directly, or by means of ceasing any relationships with them (McGoldrick, 1998).
The second measure that should be most indispensably accentuated is the way the parents develop communicational and social skills of a child. Nowadays, these traits are commonly considered among the most important pledges of success, both in a career and in social fields. Therefore, it is advisable to make a child an extroverted person inclined to constant communication. Parents should to talk with a child regularly asking him/her about his/her plans, seeking his/her advice on the daily matters and actively engage a child in the family life.
Provided that these measures are taken, the child psychologists and therapists conclude that mental development of a typical child is likely to go normal.

Almost everyone outside of China has a Facebook account, and almost every marketer has a Facebook ads account. This is just common sense, because Facebook advertising is one of the easiest ways to target consumers — and Facebook ads work.
But like many things in Facebook-land, all is not well. An increasing number of marketers and advertisers are questioning their reliance on Facebook ads as costs go up and effectiveness goes down.
"As Facebook advertising becomes more popular, the cost-per-thousand-impressions (CPM) has also risen," notes Sherman Standberry, chief operating officer and co-founder at Lyfe Marketing.
The average CPM for Facebook ads has risen 171 percent over the past year, according to Standberry. This, of course, directly decreases the return on ad spending for many businesses.
But there's another reason that businesses should look beyond Facebook: The usefulness of Facebook ads also is decreasing.
"This year Facebook removed several targeting features available to advertisers due to the recent government crackdown," says Standberry. "This has limited some of the advertising platform's largest competitive advantage: targeting."
Businesses are starting to look for alternatives. Facebook advertising still will play a role for most firms in the foreseeable future, but a little advertising diversity is not a bad thing. Facebook might not monopolize the ad market forever.
If you are among those looking for alternatives, here are five options to consider.
1. Google Ads
The best alternative to Facebook is its arch rival and fellow Silicon Valley juggernaut, Google. Bidding for Google Ads can be a competitive space just like Facebook, and often more so. Therefore, don't expect a lower CPM from Google than you get at Facebook. You'll probably pay more, in fact.
But cost should not be the primary concern for marketers: effectiveness is the point. That's why marketers have flocked to online ad platforms in the first place. With Google Ads you get great control and visibility, helping you pinpoint those you reach and deliver on your campaign goals. You pay for this control and visibility, but often the cost is worth it.
"The ability to target users from the very first step of their journey based on what they type in the search box and follow up with them until they convert [is huge]," says Alex Chris, a consultant and digital marketing manager at marketing firm, Reliablesoft.net. "It's the biggest advantage of Google Ads over FB."
2. YouTube Advertising
Targeted demographics are important for advertising campaigns. But there's something better: user intent. A 20-year-old who is single and likes dogs might be a good candidate for dog toy purchases, but even better is the person who currently is searching for dog toy review videos.
That's why YouTube also should be on your list. YouTube is the second largest search engine after Google, and it combines some of the features present in both Google and Facebook: It is search-based advertising, but it also is a community platform.
"Users love to search, consume video, and interact with content (by commenting, sharing, liking or disliking), and YouTube offers that," notes Chris. "For marketers, YouTube is more efficient than Facebook because they can target users based on their intent (search keyword) and not just demographic characteristics or habits."
3. LinkedIn Ads
Quietly, LinkedIn has become both a social media and an advertising powerhouse. It has gone from strength to strength because it fills a specific niche and does it very well: It is the social network for business.
And it really has become an advertising powerhouse: roughly 80 percent of B2B leads on social media come through LinkedIn. The service has become a business hub and a great way for companies to advertise business-related products and services.
LinkedIn isn't right for every marketer. Advertising consumer products on LinkedIn might not be the most effective way to spend ad dollars. But for B2B companies, LinkedIn is more than a Facebook alternative: It is the single best location for your ad dollars today.
4. Organic Search
If you're disillusioned with Facebook Ads, it might be time to reconsider your marketing strategy.
Organic search and SEO once were cornerstones of online marketing, but many marketers now favor Facebook ads and paid search because ad placement is simple and ROI is clean. Organic search also is crazy competitive.
Shifts in user behavior and Google algorithms make organic search again a viable option, however, and marketers who want to get away from Facebook Ads might benefit from taking a second look at playing the search engine rankings game.
The reason organic search should be considered is this: Gaming Google is getting harder. This is an opportunity for every marketer because good content can again win the organic search game, especially if a marketer is strategic about which long-tail keywords and niche search intents to focus on.
All you need for organic search traffic now is really good content. You can do this for all but the biggest search terms if you make it a genuine focus.
"For some, this is not considered a real alternative because it takes more time to get results," notes Chris. "But targeted organic traffic from Google beats any other medium in terms of conversions."
Here's how you can write SEO-optimized blog post in 2019 for better organic search rankings.
5. Twitter Ads
Twitter is an interesting advertising platform. It is smaller and sometimes of lower quality than Facebook. But Twitter also is an important hub for those who follow people and businesses outside of their direct circle of friends. Facebook has made its platform a place for impersonal interactions so it can monetize, but Twitter is better suited for such impersonal connections. That makes it a more authentic platform to advertise to people without pissing them off.
Twitter advertising also has the advantage of letting you target every single user who follows a specific Twitter account or interacts with a keyword. That can be gold in the hands of a savvy marketer.
"Twitter may have fewer users than FB," says Chris, "but reports show that a large percentage of people who follow businesses on Twitter are more likely to purchase from that business."
There still isn't a great alternative for Facebook advertising. For firms without a widely recognized brand, the Facebook ecosystem is hard to beat for new customer prospecting. But Facebook Ads aren't the only game in town.
If you're tired of the high CPM and get nervous putting so much of your advertising with Facebook, you do have alternatives.

Funerary stele
© 2008 RMN / Franck Raux
Near Eastern Antiquities
This curved basalt stele comes from Neirab near Aleppo. It bears the Aramaic name of Sin zir Ibni, the priest of the moon god, who was one of the great Babylonian deities. Despite some Syrian traits, the iconography and the gods invoked on the stele show a strong Mesopotamian influence.
The stele of Sin zir Ibni, a priest of Shahar
This stele, together with the stele of Si Gabbor also in the Louvre (ao3027), was found in the 19th century on the site of Neirab, near Aleppo, where the Bible School of Jerusalem began excavations shortly afterwards. The stele is arched at the top, a form that has often been found in the Levant; it represents an upright figure lifting his right hand, perhaps in prayer. In his left hand he is holding a roll of linen with fringed edges. He is wearing a Syrian hat and a short-sleeved tunic reaching to his ankles; it, too, has a fringed hem. A shawl is draped tightly over his chest and covers his left shoulder.
An interesting work in many respects
The Aramaic inscription is placed on either side of the figure's head, under the arch, and covers the entire base of the stele and part of the man's skirt. The same arrangement is found on the Neo-Assyrian low reliefs from the palace of King Ashurnasirpal II at Nimrud, in the 9th century BC. The text explains that it is the funerary stele of Sin zir Ibni, a priest of Shahar at Neirab (southeast of Aleppo); the stele curses anyone who might try to harm it and blesses anyone who protects it. The gods invoked are Mesopotamian: Sin, Shamash, Nergal, and Nusku. The stele of Si Gabbor, a priest of Shahar, shows that the worship of the moon god (Shahar in Aramaic, Sin in Akkadian) flourished in Syria in the Aleppo region. The cult of this god was established in Harran, near Urfa, a city incorporated in the empire of Nabonidus in the Neo-Babylonian period (6th century BC). The worship of Sin came back into favor at that time and spread with the expansion of the empire. This development probably explains the Mesopotamian influence on several parts of this stele: the name of the priest, which means "Sin is a hero" and that of Si Gabbor are a sort of homage to the Mesopotamian god, as is the choice of the gods invoked in the curse. On the other hand, the priest's costume and headdress, the Aramaic name of the god, and the use of local stone - a hard basalt - indicate that the scene took place in Syria.
Aramaic alphabetic writing
During the 2nd millennium BC, Semite nomads pushed into the lands of the Canaanite cities of the Near East. Among them were the Aramaeans who founded small kingdoms around Damascus. A Western Semitic language of the north similar to Canaanite, Aramaic is read from right to left. The earliest inscriptions, dated from the 9th and 8th centuries BC, have been found near Damascus and Aleppo. The Aramaic language and writing system had a remarkable destiny because the alphabet, derived from Phoenician, competed with and finally replaced the cuneiform system. During the Neo-Assyrian period (9th-6th century BC) Aramaic was spoken from the Mediterranean to India and later became the official language of the Persian Empire (550-330 BC).

His hat was found near the water, and the divers were in again as we left.
Nothing. Not yet.
We left in convoy at dawn this morning...all those wonderful people who had given up their day to help search the river banks. I cannot tell you how cold it was. I swear that wind comes straight from Siberia. Icy. It chilled you to the marrow. We all looked like blimps, and I had my scarf wound round my head, under my hood. This is fen-land, and fen-land is flat. And bleak. Very bleak.
The search was so well organised, and there must have been more than 100 volunteers there. We were in teams or 4 or 5 people, and were briefed as a team by the police, all our details taken down, given hi-vis jackets, and told to phone in anything. We had to register when we left and when we returned. TV cameras were there, and reporters, and the family were all so overwhelmed to see so much love and support.
Our team, (I was with David, Louise and Simon) set off to search the west bank of the river for a +/- 4 or 5 mile stretch. We went up one side and then back down the other, swapping with the other team. Wading through reed beds, mud and very steep high banks. We were walking at an angle most of the time, and our feet ache like you would not believe. We looked everywhere. We searched the opposite bank with binoculars, just as the team on the other side did for our side. And the wind was unbelievably strong and cold. Thank heaven for leki poles - they were invaluable. I was on the mud flats for a while, and at one stage, even in walking boots, with a leki pole, I simply could not get up the bank. I had to retrace my steps to a part which was easier. And all the time you are thinking...... if I can't get up, how could he have managed? If I am so cold, how could he still be alive if he had been in the water too? Hyperthermia?Physically and emotionally exhausting. We so wanted to find something. Anything. The support was amazing. Food stations with hot drinks and hot soup, and sandwiches. There was so much. When I popped into our local store this morning on the way, Michael, who owns it, donated a case of high energy drinks when he heard where we were going. So kind.
So here I am at home, and in need of a long hot bath to ease the aching muscles and bones. But at least they ache. I can feel. I am alive. Jono?? Realistically speaking, it would take a miracle of epic proportions. I have to keep believing in miracles.
I am so glad we went. I am so glad that we tried. I am so sad we didn't find him.

Hcigar specialists are initially known as box mod manufacturers, but recently, they have started producing atomizer as well. Maze RDA has become the first one. And now Hcigar website provides information about two new atomizers at once: Maze 2 and Maze 24. Today we are going to review the second one.
The main special feature of the new RDA is a flap cover. Hcigar keeps up with common trend and we like it not only in terms of design, but also from the perspective of functionality. The manufacturer offers three design options: black, steel and matte.
Maze 24 will disappoint lovers of big vapor clouds and super large coils. But the manufacturer positions the new RDA primarily as an atomizer providing good taste.
Well, we take off the cover. There are standard Velocity posts with side screw fastening. Post holes will prevent installing serious coils. Such a manufacturer's solution seems strange, taking into account RDA diameter of 24 mm.
A central pin is gold-plated to provide better conductivity. Air goes through two 3 mm holes. It is not the most successful construction, but as far as it doesn't produce dense vapor, one can be satisfied with these features. As to advantages, the kit includes a pin that is used with squonkers.
Approximate cost is $17.

Well, the truth is that many people may make it to the gym every day, they may eat clean, but something is missing. That something might be energy and focus. Here are four suggestions to help you keep your mental alert flowing. We will address each in more detail as part of my Mental Focus Series. But, for now, here is your quick run-down:
Everyone knows that sleep is important, but how much sleep you get seems to be directly related to you. While some people need 8 to 10 hours a night, others may function well on 5 to 6 hours of sleep. There may not be a standard rule, but there are guidelines, and those guidelines often range from 7 to 9 hours of sleep.
Another option, which may help those who can't seem to find enough sleep is called polyphasic sleeping. Polyphasic sleeping is splitting up your sleeping habits in small blocks throughout the day. The belief is that these short bursts of sleep, over time, will eventually allow your body to embrace deep sleep benefits that take hours to achieve at night. In addition, you are replenishing your energy more often, which also appears to work to the body's benefit.
However you choose to sleep, finding the number of hours that work for you is necessary. Whether you sleep eight hours at once, split up six hours over a 24-hour day, or sleep five hours at night and two hours in the afternoon there is a sleep schedule and requirement that will work for your body. It's just a matter of finding what works for you.
The quick meditation
Did you know that even 15 minutes of meditation every day will provide benefits to your overall health? You can meditate pretty much anytime of the day and for however long works for you. Like anything it is consistency over time that builds the greatest strength. Meditation helps you by:
- Clearing your mind to improve concentration,
- Helps you become less bothered by small things,
- Reduces stress and alleviates anxiety,
- And provides a deeper understanding of self.
The best thing about meditation is that you don't need to attend a class, hire a yogi or do anything other than flip on your smart phone. Apps such as Calm are fully functional tutors that will help you meditating within minutes.
Stop Multi-tasking
I'm sure you've heard someone say they are an excellent multi-tasker. But, the fact is, multi-tasking does not actually exist. Multi-tasking is performing several tasks at the same time. People who insist they are great at multi-tasking are starting and stopping tasks multiple times and often in a short period of time. Think of the expression "Jack of all trades, master of none." Sure, you might be performing or going through the actions, but are you really performing all of those actions well?
Learning to finish one project before moving onto the next will not only ease your routine, but will also allow your mind to focus on one task enabling you to perform better. Many "multi-taskers" don't believe this is an option. The truth is, they may be afraid that it is an option.
5-Minute Exercise
When you are feeling a little drowsy it's easy to reach for that cup of coffee, or that energy drink. But, that may not be the best way to stay alert. From headaches to caffeine withdrawal to inability to sleep, too much caffeine can cause all sorts of problems. Instead, try a quick 5-minute workout. Squats, pullups or a favorite air boxing routine are great ways to get the blood flowing in your body and bring alertness back to your mind. This not only improves your mental focus, but also burn a couple extra calories and you must love that.
Keeping your mental focus up is how you maintain motivation. Consider your willingness to hit the gym when you are tired compared to when you are awake. These are just a few potential steps to improve your performance at work, school, and home. The better you feel the better you do!

Higher studies and academic research as a career option – what you should know?
Many undergraduate students face the dilemma of whether to go for higher studies (Masters, Ph.D) post completion of UG studies or take up the lucrative job that is available through campus placements. Also there is a feeling that perhaps higher studies and scientific research are not as glamorous career options as a corporate job but the earlier do seem to offer greater autonomy and more intellectual simulation. Faced with such questions, what should a student do?
We turned to Professor V. G. Idichandy from the Department of Ocean Engineering, IIT Madras, to get his thoughts on the subject. Professor Chandy, in his illustrious career as an academician and an administrator (in his last two roles he served as Deputy Director and Director (Officiating) of IIT Madras) has interacted with a large number of students, professors, government officials, and industry leaders and has insights to offer that all the readers of Internshala can benefit from. Read on…
Q1. With more and more high profile and well paid jobs coming up every other day in the market right after graduation, why do you think a student will/should pursue higher studies (say a Ph.D) and academic research as a career option?
This is a dilemma faced by many good students at the crossroads of an important phase in their life – to choose a well-paid job or higher studies. The temptation is high. Nevertheless, there are quite a few students even today deciding in favor of the latter. The real worry is that this number is dwindling year after year. When the country needs highly qualified Scientists and Engineers and Teachers in large number, it is a pity that for many students the immediate gain looks attractive and the long term growth prospects are bleak. One should weigh all the options before taking a decision. From various considerations, for many students, an immediate well-paid job is in their interest but there are a sizable number who may be better off with higher studies and later a career in academia or R&D.
Q2. Students are generally expected to carry out a SWOT Analysis/Self-Evaluation before plunging deep into academic research. What all points one should keep in mind before taking up Higher Studies and Academic Research as a career option subsequently?
Long term career growth, quality of life in the long run, prospects of contributing to the growth of knowledge and society at large, shaping bright young minds, independence, working in teams towards common high impact goals, professional satisfaction, etc. are some of the points I can think of immediately.
In my long career I have seen many young professionals who wanted to return to college for higher studies after having fully exhausted in two/three years by the high profile jobs they landed in and the corresponding demands in performance. Having stated that, I do not imply that a career in academics is without responsibilities; on the contrary it is self-imposed goals and discipline that drives one to perform well.
Q3. It's often said that going for a PhD is like deciding on marriage, both require long term commitment and there should be a good understanding and compatibility between the student and the faculty advisor is of utmost importance. Your thoughts?
The two relationships cannot be compared; one is life-long commitment, the other for a short finite period with a very specific goal. Failure can happen in both though successes outnumber. An advisor for doctoral or master's degree must be selected with considerable thought and after serious discussions. Every Institution has exit routes for non-working relationship but their number is very few. A confident, self- respecting and hardworking scholar will earn the respect of the mentor and such a relationship founded on trust cannot fail.
Q4. For someone going for a Ph.D, what are the various career options available at the end of it? Is a career in Academia the only choice? Compared to the graduate/post-graduate job market, how easily accessible is a job for a researcher? Are they equally appreciated by the recruiters?
For a Ph. D, a career in academics is one of the major options even today. In a way it is good because of the shortage of good teachers. Please remember we have a serious shortage of good teachers. Bad and under-qualified teachers are a curse on the society as they play havoc churning out ill-prepared students.
However, of late, with the opening up of many R&D centres of MNCs there are other options open to Ph. Ds. The IT Services industries are opening up their R&D centres employing Ph. Ds. There are also openings for Ph. Ds in DRDO Labs, ISRO, Atomic Energy Establishments, CSIR labs and domain-specific research institutions all over the country.
Q5. While for students who pursue their MS/Ph.Ds from foreign universities, there could be better opportunities available because of the existing R&D Eco System in those countries; how are things closer home? What sort of opportunities are available for those who pursue MS/M.Tech/Ph.D in India (say from IITs, IISc etc.) and also for those who studied abroad and are now looking for suitable opportunities to return to India?
My response to the previous question answers this question. Remember that our industry is still young and the R&D budget is on the increase in many. A nation cannot survive long on imported technology and our private sector realized this already. While options in Industries will look up for Ph. Ds, there are options in our premier institutions. Hundreds of positions are vacant in our Institutions and those with an academia exposure it may be a preferred option.
Large scale recruitments of researchers are happening in many of our Institutions directly. In one of the schemes MHRD is offering Post-doctoral positions in reputed universities abroad for fresh Ph. Ds on condition that they will return and serve their host Institutions at the end of the fellowships.
In short, I am personally very optimistic about the job opportunities in India for Ph. Ds.
Q6. They say 'lack of suitable environment and supports have always ruined India's chances of coming out strong in the R&D world'. Being an insider, exactly what all falls under the category of 'suitable environment and support'? Are there signs of things changing for better now? How are the Government granted projects and Research Fellowships helping in attracting bright students?
Our budget for Education and in particular for higher education has always been low because of large scale expenditure in other priority sectors. In spite of this, there were pockets of excellence in research. But things are changing for the better. As an IITian I can see the growth in budget and for the first time in the history of IITs, we feel that support from the Govt. for R&D is on the increase and as a result the research publication per faculty in IITs and IISc are comparable with those in some of the best institutions outside. While there is increase in budget by MHRD, funding agencies like DST, DBT, DIT, etc., have become very proactive in supporting research. Large budget projects are now within the reach of premier institutions with proven track record. This being a recent phenomenon, its impact will be seen in years to come.
All these growth require adequately qualified manpower and our thrust in wooing bright youngsters to take up research and also teaching as a career has to succeed. It is therefore but logical to think that a few more success stories of indigenous research and their impact worldwide will change the mind-set of our youngsters.
Q7. Researchers may often decide to call it quits and join the corporate bandwagon. How tough or easy the transition can be? What are the significant adjustments needed for this transition process?
Transition from academia to industry should happen more frequently in one's career to orient the research with a practical orientation. (I am not ignoring the fact that basic and fundamental research should have its own space). It may be a sabbatical in the industry for an academic and vice versa.
Quitting the career in one to join the other should be a choice left to the individual. After all it is his/her decision and such decisions of far reaching consequences are taken after considerable thought. I do not find any reason why such transition should fail on the other hand it should enrich both the worlds for the better!
