Haircuts or circumcisions?
It can be hard for small businesses to stand out against the might of mega-corps, so they have to get inventive with the signage and naming of their shops.
However, for Mega Cutz, it all went a bit wrong as they sent out a very different message to the one they intended.

- fibbingarchieThe signage is so, because the 'barber' has a huge fanny. Nothing to do with circumcisions.
- johni dont get it, can someone point out whats funny about this?

The following is a brief biography of Sheikh Muhammad Raees Nadwi (الشيخ محمد رئس الندوي) [1937/1356 to 2009/1430], the great muhaddith of our times:
Many people come and go in this world but there are some whom Allah empowers with exceptional skills and extraordinary intelligence. Such people tend to bring a great revolution in their field, particularly when the field is related to knowledge. Knowledge is a great weapon of every intellect and if it is used properly, it can change the very perspective of a generation.
One such person was Sheikh Muhammad Raees Nadwi (rahimuhullah), who was an eminent teacher, author and researcher. He was also the Sheikh-ul-Hadith & Mufti of Jamia Salafia Banaras, India. He was well-known both as one of the most valuable scholars of this era as well as a devout and pious worshiper with excellent manners. He was also an excellent debater which caused his enemies to fear him when it comes to debates on Islamic matters.
He worked very hard in eradicating shirk and bidah from within the Muslim ummah and hence establish Tawheed of Allah. He was fervent in addressing and replying to the grave errors of the deviated sects. He unveiled their realities and exposed their cover-ups with authentic evidences from Qur'an & Sunnah.
Without a shadow of a doubt, a lot of curtains (of doubt and deceit) have been lifted with his efforts and the exaggerated claims of people have been exposed. He consistently poured in an immense amount of hard work, sweat and effort in defending the way of the Muhaddith Imams and promoting the true Deen.
His family & lineage
He said that his family ancestry was not written down and thus not preserved. This was because his grandfathers were not connected to education. However, he said that according to his grandfather, the family ancestry is like this: Sheikh Muhammad Raees Nadwi son of Sakhawat Ali son of Muhammad Baqir son
of Jahangir son of Rajab Ali.
He further added that the ancestry after this couldn't be identified. He said that his family was called Ansari because of the 'Islamic bonds', meaning one of his ancestors became Muslim through an Ansari Sahabi. He further said that he was named by his grandfather who passed away in 1952 at the age of 120 years.
Sheikh used to look after his grand-parents in accordance to the advice and guidance of his mother. This was the reason why Sheikh was loved immensly by his grandparents who used to do a lot of charity.
[Imam Bukhari's ancestors became Muslim through Yaman Ju'fi – so through this relation, he was called Yamani Ju'fi (attributed to him as accepting Islam on his hands).]
Childhood & Upbringing
According to Muhammad Raees Nadwi's statement he was born on the 7th of July 1937 (28 Rabi al-thani 1356 Hijri) in his home town of Batya, District of Murutiya Baaz, Utter Pradesh, India. The district was the first part of the district of Gur Kapoor and now this district has been split into three separate districts.
In the time of the Shahidayn movement, a lot of people of knowledge dedicated them and attributed their names to this movement. The district's Qari, Abdul Haq, and his father, grandfather and the Maulana of Mujwamir, Mir Ja'far etc. were widely regarded as mentors of this movement.
Sheikh recalls "My father traveled to Mujwamir during his studies and found out about the family of Mir Ja'far, however he also realized that no one from this village was Ahlul Hadith".
Mufti Sheikh Muhammad Raees Nadwi said: 'A few days before he was born, a school was established in our village with the efforts and struggles of Maulana Pir Ali. On this occasion, the organizers of a religious conference that took place had invited only Salafi scholars such as Maulana Abdur Ra'uf Khan Jandanagari, Maulana Abd at-Tawab Multani, Maulana Abdul Ghafar Rafiq and Maulana Muhammad Zaman Rahmani and other than them.
He was just under five years old and his mother carefully and vigilantly encouraged him to perform the five daily prayers, the sheikh narrated that he never missed a prayer since that day with the mercy of Allah.
Additionally, she encouraged him to focus on studying at school where he lived in the village of his paternal family. He was also encouraged to study from his maternal grandfather. At that time, only two levels were taught in the two schools. Then he entered a primary school near the village and passed primary level.
At that time all the teachers in the primary school were non-Muslim. The teachers of the school were Secretary Moeen-Ul-Haq, Secretary Abdul Majid and secretary Riza. He passed junior high school in Murutiya. During the winter time, when he was studying at primary and junior high school, he had to study either in the teacher's house or in the school building and they made a lot of effort to teach.
After junior high school, he attended and passed a private high school called Madrasa Badariya in the district of Paka Bazar (which was an offshoot branch of Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulama, Lucknow). Here is where he learnt religious Arabic and Persian and then in 1958 he entered Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulama Lucknow.
He ( رحمه الله ) said that from the famous teachers he had were:
Maulana Sayid Abul Hasan Nadwi, from which he gained Ijazah in chains of hadith that go through and reach Sheikh Ul-Kull Fil-Kull As-Sayyid Mian Nazeer Husain Ad-
Dehalvi ( رحمه الله ) and Sheikh-Ul-Hadith Abdur-Rahmãn Mubarakpuri ( (رحمه الله Maulana Abbas
Maulana Abdul Gafar Nadwi
Maulana Mahmud ul-Hasan Uthmani
Maulana Rabi' Hasan Nadwi
Maulana Isbat
Maulana Mufti Zuhur
Raees Nadwi ( رحمه الله ) said: 'After he finished Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulama in 1960, he taught in Nadwa in accordance to the guidance and advice given by the director of Madrasa Badariya Paka Bazar, following this up with teaching at Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulama, the teachers of the well-known scholar, Sayid Abul Hasan Nadwi.
Then he taught in Jamia Siraj al-Uloom Jandanagar with the advice from Maulana Abul Hasan Nadwi. After that, again under the advice of Maulana, he taught in Darul Uloom Ahmadiya Salafiya, Darbang, Bihar and in 1969 became appointed to teach and lecture in Markaz Darul Uloom Jamia Salafiya.
Mufti Raees Nadwi ( رحمه الله ) reported: In the years of when he was a student of knowledge, it was his privilege that Maulana Sayid Abdul Gafar Nadwi Nagrami went home in the year's 3 months holiday. So in accordance with the command of the Maulana, I taught Quran lessons after Fajr prayer in the Jamia Masjid Paka Bazar (during these 3 months).
This series of teaching continued in Jamia Siraj ul-Uloom, Jandanagar until people used to come from quite a few kilometers away to sit in my Quran lessons. Maulana Jandanagari himself sat in the classes and took notes. This continued in Darul Uloom Salafia, Darbang Alhamdulillah.
He ( رحمه الله ) said: Whilst he was in Jandanagar, he delivered Juma Khutbas (sermons). Even during his time as a student of knowledge, he would lead Juma prayer and deliver Juma Khutbas. However because of several heart attacks and an ongoing illness, upon advice from his therapists (doctors), he decided he would stop giving speeches and delivering Khutbas.
In the final year of university at Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulama, it was necessary to complete a dissertation thesis (research paper). Therefore Mufti Sheikh Muhammad Raees Nadwi ( رحمه الله) wrote a thesis entitled "the Jews in the Quran". His teachers pRaeesed this work after seeing it.
Maulana Ali Miya Nadwi advised him to write a book about the Jews and promised him to provide religious sources and books to assist this effort – to the extent that he handed over his personal book library Mufti Sheikh Muhammad Raees Nadwi ( رحمه الله ). So in his time as a student of knowledge, Mufti Sheikh Muhammad Raees Nadwi ( رحمه الله ) wrote 4 volumes on this topic with a lot of effort, in addition to writing more than half of the 5th volume.
This book consisted of almost 3,000 pages. However, unfortunately someone put their evil eye on this important book that Mufti Sheikh Muhammad Raees Nadwi ( رحمه الله ) wrote and before it could become published, it was lost and went missing. Mufti Sheikh Muhammad Raees Nadwi ( رحمه الله ) said that he didn't have the ability to re-write the book because he became deprived of the benefits and companionship of Maulana Sayid Ali Nadwi.
When he went to Jandanagar, Maulana Abdur Ra'uf told him to write a book in reply to a Barailwee innovator on the issue of the Messenger of Allah being omnipresent, so he wrote it and it is called "Tashih Aqaid Biabtal Shawahid Ash-Shahid", which is published and available. This was published by Jamia Salafia with a new version and more additional notes and pages.
1. "AL-LAMHAT ILA MA FI ANWAR UL-BARI MIN ADH-DHULUMAT" – 5 volumes of this have been published the 6th and final volume was being written.

Network of Buddhist Organisations (UK)
The NBO was founded in 1993 as a national representative body which 'does not validate or endorse Buddhist traditions' but seeks instead to promote fellowship between diverse Buddhist groups in the UK, for the benefit of a flourishing UK Buddhist Community, and for the common good. Now a charity, it continues to run on the generosity and goodwill of volunteers, and provides a neutral, non-denominational forum based upon commonly held Buddhist values of intelligent, ethical right action. A dedicated website http://www.nbo.org.uk illustrates this value through a range of activities and campaigns sponsored by its membership. These have recently included: Buddhist Action Month in July – a national initiative encouraging social action, a forthcoming conference on 'Transforming Conflict Buddhist'' organised by The Centre for Applied Buddhism and supported by the NBO and The Network of Engaged Buddhists; The NBO Report to the All Party Parliamentary Group on International Religious Freedom March 2013; and support for Buddhist Student Societies.
Contribution to RE
Since its inception the NBO has been concerned with raising an awareness of the ways in which Buddhism and Buddhists are represented and its Education Activities Group provides a forum for discussion and advice on such matters. The group draws upon a wide range of expertise which includes:
- Research into Religious Education and Buddhism
- Involvement in Curriculum design through representation on various SACRES
- Expertise in the interface between Interfaith matters, Buddhism and RE.
- Significant experience of publishing materials on Buddhism for schools in both textual and electronic form
It has supported conferences which have either been solely dedicated to exploring these issues or have had overlap with other educationally interesting issues such as Human Rights and Ecology.
The group has been active as consultants facilitating answers to questions raised about Buddhism and provided a forum for discussing the nature, quality and reliability of educational materials in both textual and electronic form.
A Senior Advisor represents Buddhism on the steering committee of the Faith Encounter Programme, which ensures that guides in places of worship are professionally trained and aware specifically of the needs of visiting groups from schools.
Currently, the NBO is supporting a collaborative survey on what is being taught about Buddhism in Primary and Secondary Religious Education with the help of NATRE which will be sent to teachers in the Autumn term of 2013.

Friday Snapshots
The picture below is Eddie sitting in the fluoroscope waiting for his test to begin. Pretty amazing piece of equipment and surprisingly delivers relatively low doses of radiation. Unfortunately I don't have the video images right now, but the hospital has been kind enough to burn a DVD so we can snuggle up on the couch with a bowl of popcorn and presto . . . movie night!
The net result of his fluoroscopy is that he can drink anything without restriction and he is also clear to eat purees (apple sauce, yogurt, pudding). We'll wait until next week to start solids as the Speech team will work more directly with Eddie at the bedside. All in all, great news! And not surprisingly, in addition to several ounces of apple juice, Eddie went straight for the cherry popsicle.
Eddie also managed to go on a field trip around the ICU in his new personal trolley. Other than heading to the OR or cath lab (not happy memories), this was his first trip outside his hospital room in over five weeks. It was great to see the nurses and doctors cheering for him as he made his journey. We hope to get out again today . . . maybe in a wheelchair this time.
Overall, Eddie has had a couple good days in a row. We are still playing around with his Heparin a lot due to changing lab results and chest output. As of now, his chest tube is putting out mainly serous fluid, but it definitely has been turning pink over the past 24 hours. This follows exactly the same pattern as previously when we had to send him back to the OR, but we are being more interventionist with our Heparin doses. We're crossing our fingers that we can keep his bleeding under control while avoiding any clots in his pump. The small speck of fibrin buildup from Thursday disappeared yesterday morning with no ill effect.
And as proof that Eddie does watch something other than Polar Express, here he is watching (surprise of surprises) . . . Percy's Chocolate Crunch. Sense a theme?
5 comments:
Yeah for popsicles and Percy! So happy to hear Eddie is doing well today. We will continue to pray for him to be stable and avoid more surgeries until transplant time. We put you all on prayer roll again yesterday. Hope you get to enjoy the springtime view outside your window at least. Love from all of us!ReplyDelete
What a great day!! Eddie looks fantastic! Is it normal to cry(happy tears) while watching someone eat a popcicle? We are so sad to hear about Lucy's unfortunate turn of events. Such a bummer! However, we would love to see some video of her dancing if you had some. Love you guys!ReplyDelete
So great to hear of such great progress! I also loved the video of him eating his popcicle---maybe not a big smile from him, but the look on his face and determination to eat it was priceless! Yeah for great days and sunny weather outside and inside his room :)ReplyDelete
Glad to hear the barium swallow study went well - we are very familiar with that one here also - it's pretty cool to watch the eating, chewing, swallowing mechanism on film...ReplyDelete

Apprenticeship in Early Years Educator (Advanced)
All training on this course is delivered either in the workplace or at college, on a day release basis.
In this course, you will develop knowledge and skills relating to the children and young people's workforce which includes early learning and childcare, children's social care and learning development and support services.
The Advanced Apprenticeship confirms competence in this area and serves as the required qualification (for all new practitioners) for registration and regulatory requirements in the early learning and childcare sector. This framework is suitable for those working in a supervisory position in a childcare sector.
Students will often be working in a supervisory role (but not necessarily) within a nursery/early learning and childcare setting, or providing care for young children.
Additional measurable benefits include better team performance, productivity targets met or exceeded, quicker response time and reduced error rates.
Entry is subject to a pre-enrolment interview to ascertain suitability for the programme and that potential candidates take into account the Principles and Values essential for working with children and young people. Potential candidates should:
- have prior experience of working in the sector
- show enthusiasm to work with children and young people and be working for a minimum of 30 hours per week – this is inclusive of any study days at college
- preferably have achieved a minimum of Grade C GCSE in English Language and Maths
- have a suitable level of physical fitness to perform some aspects of the job roles
- be willing to undergo a Disclosure and Barring Services (DBS) check
Apprenticeships are open to anyone over the age of 16, whether they have just left school or have been working for years. As an apprenticeship is a work based qualification, applicants should either have an employer who has agreed to support them, or be seeking an apprenticeship position through our vacancies list. Once you have secured a position with an employer your training can begin. If you have an employer who is interested in supporting you in completing an Apprenticeship, please contact our Employer Partnerships Team on Freephone: 0800 328 3616 or email email@example.com
Apprenticeships are work-based training programmes designed around the needs of employers, which lead to nationally recognised qualifications. For further information, please see: www.apprenticeships.org.uk
Successful students will be able to progress to a Higher Apprenticeship in a related discipline or on to a stand alone level 4 qualification.
Achievement of this pathway will enable apprentices to access higher level jobs within the sector for instance nursery supervisor, nursery manager, pre-school manager/co-ordinator, etc. There is also opportunity for apprentices to go on to further study at higher levels, particularly working towards a Foundation Degree in Early Years. This in turn will support the achievement of Early Years Professional Status (Graduate level). See CWDC website for further information on www.cwdcouncil.org.uk

We introduce a new type of optical-fiber Mach–Zehnder interferometer whose output depends on phase differentials or the time rate of change of the unknown phase-modulating signal. Whereas the actual phase excursion introduced by the signal could cause interference over several fringes in a conventional Mach–Zehnder interferometer, the differential phase shifts may be restricted to the linear range of the phase detector. Being of simple construction, the interferometer can be operated without active biasing, additional phase modulation, or complex signal-processing techniques. We analyze a prototype architecture to explain the principle of operation of the system and to derive design formulas. This is followed by experimental evaluation of a more practical configuration.

I too am in shock, complete and utter. Now, as to why you are I cannot say but for me it is because your lovely journal has gone to one of the simpler themes and yet there have been no new posts since the last time I beheld it with naked eyes.
The horror!

CBS News said its evening-news anchor, Scott Pelley, would lead the broadcast from Florida in order to provide on-the-ground perspective on the effects of Hurricane Matthew, a signal that the storm and potential damage resulting from it are likely to take more command of an already busy news cycle.
Pelley will anchor his Thursday-night broadcast from West Palm Beach. The hurricane is expected to be one of the most powerful in a decade.
A team of correspondents will contribute to CBS News' coverage from across the Southeast, the Atlantic Coast and the Caribbean. CBS News Correspondents Manuel Bojorquez and Mark Strassmann are reporting from Florida. Omar Villafranca is in the Bahamas. Errol Barnett is in Georgia, and Jericka Duncan is in South Carolina. Kris Van Cleave will cover the storm's impact on travel, and WBZ Chief Meteorologist Eric Fisher is tracking the storm.
CBS News will have coverage of the storm all day on CBSN.
Other TV-news outlets are also gearing up to cover the severe weather. FOX News Channel said it expected to offer continuous live coverage of the impact of Hurricane Matthew as it makes it way towards the east coast of the United States. Correspondents Phil Keating and Jonathan Serrie will report live Thursday from Deerfield Beach, FL and Folly Beach, S.C., respectively. Starting Friday morning, Steve Harrigan and Bryan Llenas will provide live reports from locations in Florida. Meteorologists Janice Dean and Rick Reichmuth will contribute to coverage from New York City throughout the week. As the hurricane approaches the United States, more correspondents may be dispatched to various locations, the network said.

According to the agreement, the national and county governments will provide land where CCECC will construct the houses being financed by CAD-Fund while Suraya Property Group will provide the design and manage the construction.
Speaking during the signing ceremony in Nairobi, Suraya Group CEO Pete Muraya said that the project was targeting all job groups and that the end product would be managed by the government.
"We are addressing all types of housing where we are targeting from a million shillings or less and going all the way up to senior servants who may want a bigger stand alone house on a quarter of an acre," Mr Muraya said.
The project which targets the disciplined forces, parastatal officials, civil servants and county government employees will help ease the the housing deficit for government employees especially in Nairobi through a tenant-purchase scheme.
While the country needs at least 200,000 new units annually, only a paltry 50,000 units are built – which has led to the high cost of housing the country.
"By freeing up land for the construction of thousands of housing units, the national and county governments will help bring the cost of owing a home down by a significant margin as well as regulate the prices in the market," said Mr Muraya.
The project will take 18 months to complete with the initial phase scheduled to commence in February 2017 in Nairobi before being rolled out to other counties.
The CAD-Fund officially opened its offices in Nairobi after the signing of the MOU which according to the fund's chairman Chi Jianxin, will be used as the East Africa region headquarters. It is the fourth of its kind in Africa since the inception of the fund in 2006.
The fund often finances projects by Chinese companies in Africa without traditionally holding controlling stakes in them.
Some of the projects it has financed include a hydro-power dam in Ghana, a cement plant in Limpopo South Africa and a glass factory in Ethiopia among others.

Today's puzzler
A couple of curiosities
Feline mathematics. (Via J Greely.)
Wakey, wakey
It's only Friday, and some of us still have to get up this morning. Here's a little Rammstein to get you going.
See also Boney Nem and Devin Townsend.
The topic of the day
Can schadenfreude be virtuous? Edward Feser considers the question.
Meanwhile, Daniil Simkin heads to work:
A modest luncheon proposal
Some miscellaneous nonsense to get you through the rest of the week. I forget where I found most of these.
I've shopped at the grocery store for years …
Stopping in for a moment
I'm currently dealing with an excess of reality, and I will probably continue to be scarce here. While I'm away, you can listen to about 30 hours of music for piano and orchestra for 10¢ per hour, courtesy of Amazon.com, here, here and here. There's ragtime here, if you'd prefer that. (The last includes some Louis Moreau Gottschalk, for no obvious reason.)
Which famous historical figure is this actor portraying?
Hint: here's a contemporary representation of him. He's the one seated in the middle.
The answer is here.
A public [dis]service
Somebody dropped by looking for "rich anime woman laughing." He presumably was interested in the "noblewoman's laugh." Here's Renge from Ouran High School Host Club to demonstrate:
The noblewoman's laugh is particularly associated with Slayers' Naga. Here's more of her than anyone needs:
Level 6 dream
I ran one of my photographs through the Deep Dream Generator,1 over and over again, eventually yielding the above image. Can you identify what the subject was? (Click to enbiggen.)
Here's an intermediate stage:
and the original:
A few more:
Black pawns matter
I'm rather preoccupied at the moment, but I'll be back eventually. In the meantime, here's a chess problem to amuse you. There is something wrong with this position. Find the problem, correct it, and then find a mate-in-one for white, no matter how you fix it. You can find solutions in the comments here.
1,000 times more likely?
I came across some startling numbers in an article on politics and dating while skimming though this morning's Wichita Eagle.
Those in the Clinton camp are more likely to be female (176 percent) and gay (606 percent), and Trump supporters are more likely to be unemployed (82 percent) or retired (96 percent).
I suppose I ought to track down the original Washington Post story to see if the surprising statistics originated there, but I have better things to do with my lunch hour.
Sunday in the park with Pinkie
There's been a dearth of Ponies here recently. We'll have to do something about that.
Other curious works of art can be perused here. (Via Pergelator, who has an eye for girls with guns.)
Fluttershy as a warrior princess. She and her friends can be seen here, and in higher quality here if you do FaceBook.
Timely note
Every January I visit the calendar shop at the regional shopping mall and pick up a few at half-price to provide a variety of art on my walls for the coming year. This year, I struck out. Everything of any interest was gone — no medieval or renaissance art, no pre-Raphaelites, no Edward Gorey, not even Ansel Adams. There were plenty of puppies, of course, but I prefer dogs as friends, not as artistic subjects. Fortunately, I earlier ordered this year's Girls und Panzer calendar, so I do have a way to keep track of passing time.
Although there are only six pages (seven if you count the cover), they are poster-sized, 24″ tall (including the binding strip at the top) and 16.5″ wide. (Right-click and open the links in new windows to see the images at high resolution.)

Odds and ends
Life is annoyingly busy, and I will have less time than usual for maintaining my websites until the middle of December. Expect even less activity here than usual. There might occasionally be posts of miscellaneous nonsense, such as what follows, but probably not much more.
Flickr recently introduced a "camera roll" feature that displays thumbnails of your pictures arranged either by the date taken or according to its "magic view," which sorts them into subject-based categories. The algorithms for the latter need a little refinement.
Animation you can eat
Some stop-motion dessert for you.
The Great Wave …
… of Candida. I wonder if Tadayasu Sawaki has a poster of this on his wall.
Further wondering:
I wonder if catgirls will be enough to reverse Japan's demographic catastrophe?
Pictures, not necessarily pretty
Something for your eyes while I work on stuff to hurt your ears.
Inside Typhoon Soudelar a couple of days ago. There are a couple more plots here.

Oh, I've posted plenty of pancake recipes, like the banana pancakes with chocolate swirls. But there's always a new variation to try, like these Banana Sour Cream Pancakes. I used whole wheat flour and skim milk, and they were still light and fluffy. I am often tempted to take shortcuts, but the lemon zest really does add something here, and to be fair, one of my cooking elves zested the lemon for me. It was a beautiful breakfast!
One Response to "Banana Sour Cream Pancakes"
These were very good…almost muffin-like!

Shooting the messenger won't help your cause
By Bob Berwyn
Rarely in the modern age has the American media been vilified as it has in the past few months during the presidential campaign, with the vaporous pall of despise occasionally even manifesting as direct threats of violence. Some of the criticism is probably deserved, especially if you main source of information is cable or network television, both of which where early enablers of the Trump candidacy for its entertainment and ratings values. But in the end, we can't blame the media for the dangerous rise of Trump. We have to take a long, hard look in the mirror.
Demonizing the media is a dangerous road. Delegitimizing, then criminalizing, the press is a big step on the way to authoritarianism — just ask citizens of Hungary and Turkey, who have lost many independent media voices in the past year, or look back at Germany in the 1930s, when the Nazis launched their ruthless state-controlled propaganda campaign by discrediting the existing media with constant accusations of Lügenpresse (lying press). Undermining the objectivity of a free press destabilizes an important part of the democratic system of checks and balances.
Hating on the media isn't going to solve any of your problems, it's only going to make them worse. And I'm not trying to sound defensive here. I've had my experiences with corporate, for-profit media, and they were not good. It would be easy for me to jump on the anti-media bandwagon, but it's not that simple.
That doesn't mean everything you read is true or 100 percent accurate. And there's always room for improvement. But it's important to know that, for the most part, the "media" is made up of thousands of hard-working honest people doing their best to give you as much information as possible. And never before have journalists been as accessible as today. Most of the people who write the news reports you read are available and willing to engage with you via social media, especially via Twitter. That means the public has the ability to fact-check and hold reporters accountable nearly in real-time, and even to help shape stories by offering input and information and pointers.
As well, in the era of online journalism, it's easier than ever to track what your fellow citizens think about the new stories they are reading by following comment threads. Sadly, many of those threads are often hijacked, but it doesn't have to be that way. If news organizations want to be serious about moving into the digital era, they should encourage the public exchange of ideas, rather than shutting down comment forums and they should devote resources to monitoring those conversations and enforcing the rules of civil discourse. Does that cost money? Yes, a bit but it's possible to do, as shown by the German publication, Die Zeit, which judiciously deletes comments and offers a short explanation of why, and offers constructive suggestions on how to civilly participate in an online discussion.
In fact, many American citizens could benefit from at least scanning other news sources from around the world from time to time. There's good journalism being done in many countries, and many news websites have English translations. And if you're so narrowminded as to believe that what other countries are thinking is unimportant, it just means you're out of touch with the globalized world of the 21st century.
There's more you can do. Be a responsible reader use good judgment when you consider a source. Ignore those trash newsfeeds on your Facebook stream. And most importantly, support nonprofit, non-corporate independent journalism like your life depends on it — that's where much of the good journalism is coming from these days. A couple of suggestions: ProPublica, The Intercept, Mother Jones, and Grist. Support their missions to do watchdog journalism in the public interest.
We're on your side.
Stop reading everything through an ideological lens, learn to sort through the facts and and use those to form your own opinion. Make sure your kids are literate and able to distinguish between fact and fiction, between news and propaganda. I know that's a tall order that gets into other areas of society (primarily education) but it all goes together. Don't be afraid of the truth — in fact, embrace it. Don't embrace lies just because they fit your preconceived ideas of how the world should be.
The reality is that there's never been more information available to citizens and voters, and the campaign has spurred some of the best political reporting I've seen in the past few decades, starting, for example, with the collaborative @electionland project, which combines the power of social media with the resources of traditional and information-age newsrooms to create a real-time way of tracking voter-access issues. It would be great to see this collaboration continue beyond the election, perhaps with an expanded mission to ensure widespread improvements in voting access for upcoming elections.
Areas of coverage could include Gerrymandering by both parties, as well as the now-infamous voter-suppression efforts aimed at people of color and mostly orchestrated by Republican-controlled state legislatures. Ensuring voter rights should be an ongoing priority for the media. Focusing on last-minute election-related lawsuits means the system is failing; time to make sure it gets fixed for the next election.
Sure, it's not as easy as it once was, when you could pick up a hometown paper and get a reasonably well-rounded view of the news. That's just not the case anymore, as some (many?) mainstream publications have, for financial reasons, fallen under the spell of corporate power.
But if you look at the totality of the media landscape, it's pretty clear there's been some remarkable journalism done this past year. Once again, ProPublica's ongoing coverage of the political circus has been exemplary, and then there's David Farenthold, of the Washington Post, who made it his mission to track Trump's charitable record, proving again and again and again and again how how much the GOP candidate lies. You could read the recent stories by Kurt Eichenwald of Newsweek, who delved deep into Trump's possible ties with Russia, a connection that can't be discounted in the era of global capitalist pirates who easily transcend the national boundaries that they themselves claim are so important.
The reason transnational institutions want those borders is really pretty simple — it's divide, conquer and control. The media is far from perfect, but it's still your best ally.

Course overview
Part One of the MSc course contains an introductory period followed by academic instruction, which is in modular form. Students take ten core modules covering the main disciplines and choose two optional modules based upon their particular background, future requirements or research interests. To qualify for the Explosives Ordnance Engineering MSc, students must successfully complete formal examinations, individual coursework, one group project and a research project.
Research project:
In Part Two, students undertake a research project - a list of prospective projects is provided each year by the teaching staff. Alternatively, with the agreement of the teaching staff/supervisor, students may undertake appropriate research of their own choice.
The structure of this course has been devised so that students learn the fundamental elements of EOE from an academic perspective whilst having the opportunity to learn something new by selecting elective modules.
The MSc is 200 credits of which 90 are compulsory, 80 are for the thesis and 30 credits are elective.
The PgDip is 120 credits of which 90 are compulsory and 30 credits are elective.
Full modules are 10 credits each; half modules are 5 credits each.

Individual Project
The aim of the project phase is to give the students an opportunity to apply the skills, knowledge and understanding acquired on the taught phase of the course to a practical problem in EOE. A list of available project titles is produced in the first few months of the course so that a student can make an early choice and begin planning their programmes well before the project phase begins. Suggestions for projects may come from a variety of sources, for example an individual student's sponsor, a member of staff, or the wider EOE community.
Group Project
To integrate module learning into an overall critical evaluation of new trends in EOE the students undertake a group project, which considers current 'Hot Topics in EOE', for example, nanotechnology, insensitive munitions, analysis and detection and environmental initiatives. The group project involves the students working together to research these hot topics and to critically appraise the facts, principles, concepts, and theories relating to a specific area of EOE. They do this as a group and then individually prepare elements of a presentation that they feedback in groups to their peers in an open forum. The presentation is then graded from an individual and group perspective.
The group project enables the students to work as a team, enhances their communication skills and encourages the ability to present scientific ideas in a clear and concise manner. It also gives the students an understanding of the procedures and challenges associated with peer review and grading and prioritisation of presented work against a clear assessment framework.
Coursework, examination, group project and individual thesis (MSc only).
Career opportunities
Many of the students are linked to military employment and as such are sponsored through this route. Therefore the majority of the students continue to work for them on completion of the course. However, the course has the potential to take you on to enhanced career opportunities often at a more senior level across a range of roles corresponding with your experience.
