Belgium is one of the leading European countries in exporting foreign fighters due to its geographical area and population. Its government, like other European governments, fears the return of fighters of Belgian nationality from conflict zones in Syria and Iraq to their country. It considers them time bombs capable of carrying out terror acts upon their return, although Belgium has only witnessed limited attacks. The Belgian authorities renewed its support for an initiative which calls for an international prosecution of ISIS fighters captured in Syria and Iraq, who fought with ISIS. The Belgian intelligence warned from the growing extremism inside Belgium at a time when it was announced that there was activity for 100 extremist organizations that have influence on thousands of Muslims, according to Monte Carlo, on November 30, 2018.
On July 22, 2018, Asharq Al Awsat discussed a survey for the Belgian "Le Soir" and RTBF, the French-speaking radio and television broadcasting organization. According to the survey, more than 70% of Muslims see that people view them as "potential terrorists." 63% of them said that they are so intimidated by the flow of refugees. They said that they feel targeted because they are Muslims. And 77% of them said they don't feel at home as they did in the past.
Despite Belgium's endeavor to establish laws and measures to reduce extremism, it is still on the watch with the return of foreign fighters, which posed security challenges that required more counter-terrorism measures to maintain its security, especially in the wake of the terrorist waves that hit Belgium and European capitals in 2016-2017.
Foreign fighters and their families who are in custody of SDF and Iraq
The Belgian authorities announced in March 2018 that the number of children born in Syria and Iraq to parents who had traveled to fight with ISIS is 70 to 80 children. The number of Belgian children under 12 years old in Syria is 100 children at least. There are 14 Belgians detained in Syria and Iraq; 2 in Iraq, and 12 in Syria: 5 men detained by the SDF, and 7 women with 6 children were distributed in different refugee camps.
Number of Returning Foreign Fighters: Males, Females and Children Coordination Unit for Threat Analysis in Belgium (OCAD/OCAM) said that 442 Belgians left for Syria or Iraq, according to EuroNews on February 20, 2019. 130 of them returned, while 142 were killed. Currently, 6 Belgian men, 17 women, and 32 children, four of them are orphans, are detained in Syria and are facing difficult circumstances, whereas two men are imprisoned in Iraq.
According to RT in November 2018, a report for the Belgian State Security Service revealed that Belgium, compared to its population, was one of the largest fighters-exporting countries
to Syria, with more than 400 fighters since 2012. Third of them returned, whereas most of them were killed. But the report pointed out that about 150 could still be "active." A report for "Al Azhar Observer" titled "Belgium Caught in the Crossfire of Terrorism," in November 2018, said that the office of the Belgian Minister of Interior, Jan Jambon, confirmed the existence of 275 Belgian fighters in Iraq and Syria. This figure includes 220 males and 55 females, according to the Coordination Unit for Threat Analysis. The Minister of Justice, Koen Geens, announced in May 2018 that 26 women returned to Belgium.
In November 2018, the spokesman for Jan Jambon, the Minister of Interior, announced that all the ISIS Belgian fighters were classified as criminals internationally, and they would be imprisoned in case they returned. A report in February 2018 showed that the number of returnees gradually decreased between 2014 – 2017, pointing that 115 Belgian ISIS fighters had already returned to their country, 44 of them are in prisons, and 80 on probation.
The official spokesman for Brussels government confirmed in a press statement, according to RT on February 21, 2019, that the Belgian National Security Council, in a session headed by the Prime Minister Charles Michel, expressed its support for the idea of achieving "international justice," in cooperation with other countries, against the captured European ISIS members. Michel has already expressed his hope that the European extremists who are detained in Syria be prosecuted, and he proposed an idea to establish a legal mechanism for that purpose, but without providing additional details.
Belgium's Position on the Returning Foreign Fighters and their Families
According to Asharq Al Awsat on March 27, 2019, the Belgian government confirmed that it prefers to detain ISIS members in camps inside the conflict zones where they fought, and to send ISIS fighters above 18 years old to justice. According to Al Azhar Observer on March 7, 2018, Belgium's Prime Minister, Charles Michel, stressed that his country would not negotiate with any fighter, whether Belgian or of another nationality, who wants to return to Belgium, saying that "there is no place for those people in the Belgian society," and shutting the door in the face of the possibility of cooperation or sympathy with the ISIS "returnees."
The Belgian authorities are working hard and making great efforts to repatriate the children of ISIS members, who are currently in camps in the Syrian territories. The government refused to set a date or a schedule for achieving that, and described the file as very critical. The official Belgian position confirms that the authorities want to facilitate the return of the children who are under 10 years old, provided that one of the parents is Belgian. Koen Geens, the Belgian Minister of Justice, called for a "European solution" and "thinking carefully and considering what involves less security threats." He said: "we have now in North Syria mothers and children, but also some known fighters," according to The New Arab on February 19, 2019. The returnees face arrest and interrogation, and those who are suspected to be involved in recruitment and brainwashing operations are sent to special units where they are isolated from the rest of prisoners, according to BBC on February 18, 2019.
The Belgian Minister of Justice, Koen Geens, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Didier Reynders, announced in March 2018 that Belgian children under 10 years old, who were born in Syria of Belgian parents who left Belgium to fight for ISIS, would get travel permits to return to Belgium. The situation of children above 10 years old would be examined on a case-
by-case basis, taking into consideration the duration of their stay in Syria, the possibility of them joining training camps, and that the majority of those children were born in Syria and don't have documents to prove their Belgian nationality, so DNA tests would be used to determine their identities.
For his part, Dimitris Avramopoulos, the EU Commissioner for Migration, Home Affairs and Citizenship, stressed in a statement discussed by Al Arabiya on December 28, 2018, that "Anyone posing a threat should not go unnoticed anymore: the interoperability of SIS with our other information systems on security, borders and migration in the near future will make sure that all the dots are properly connected on our radar screens."
Trials of Belgian Foreign Fighters and their Families
A report in March 2018 explained that some of the fighters who participated in the fighting in Syria, and who are now in prison, would intentionally choose not to paroled and would remain in prison until the end of their sentences that range between 5 to 10 years, in order to avoid any strict conditions related to their probation, because parole, from the point of view of some specialists in Brussels, requires the released person to be on probation in different ways, including putting an electronic tag above his ankle to monitor his movements. Belgium Counter-terrorism
On April 14, 2019, Brussels Court sentenced 3 persons to 5-10 years imprisonment. Those persons were among the first groups of Belgian fighters who had travelled to fight in conflict zones with extremist militant groups. A Belgian court said that Belgium had won an appeal against a court order that compel it to return two Belgian women convicted with joining ISIS and their six children from Syria.
The Belgian government seeks to differentiate between ISIS fighters and their children, as officials say that the children can't assume the responsibility for what their parents have done. The Appeal Court in Brussels confirmed that the Belgian State is not obliged to do anything to bring "those" home. The Central Criminal Court in Iraq sentenced a Belgian to death by hanging for membership of ISIS, according to RT on March 18, 2019. He is one of dozens of foreigners who face the same sentence in Iraq.
Providing Psychological Support and Rehabilitation
According to Al-Arab Newspaper, Jacob Bundsgaard, a prominent activist in the "Rehabilitation Program," pointed in August 2018 to the necessity of the relevant authorities opening a dialogue with the returning jihadists to know whether they committed crimes, and of what kind in order to deal with their cases and prosecute them. Failing that, the authorities have to do their best to reintegrate those individuals.

AFTER a crushing 5-1 defeat at Kenilworth Road on Saturday, Liam Watson's Yellows look ahead to tonight when they play host to early season table toppers Gateshead FC.
Southport's last league meeting with Gateshead resulted in a 5-1 home win for The Sandgrounders and no doubt The Heed Army will be out to avenge the heavy defeat of last campaign. Undefeated this season, Gateshead currently sit at the top of the Blue Square Bet Premier League table with seven points from three games.
Ian Bogie's side will arrive at Haig Avenue off the back off a 1-1 home draw with Kettering where a strongly taken penalty taken by England C capped Jon Shaw put the Heed Army ahead on four minutes.
Kettering equalised just past the hour and despite the visitors being reduced to ten men after Steve Meechan was shown a seventy-forth minute red card, Gateshead were unable to capitalise on the advantage and the scoreline finished level.
Gateshead have strengthened the side that finished fourteenth last campaign after making a number of summer additions including twenty-seven year old Nigerian striker Yemi Odubade. With stints at Yeovil, Oxford, Newport and Stevenage, Odubade joins Gateshead with an impressive pedigree. Starting his career at Eastbourne Borough he netted over seventy goals in just two season's for the East Sussex side and is not only vastly experienced but proven at this level.
Also joining the Tynesiders over the close season is Odubade's fellow Stevenage and Oxford team mate Tanzanian defender Eddie Odhiambo. With over forty appearances for Stevenage Borough including their 2010/11 promotion campaign, Odhiambo joins long serving James Curtis in a Gateshead back line who have only conceded three goals in three games so far this campaign.
Ian Bogie has named an unchanged side for The Tynesiders first three games and is likely to continue with the formula which has led to relative success in the early part of their season.
Gateshead have been without ex-Manchester United and Aston Villa youth midfielder Kyle Nix who has been sidelined after picking up a thigh strain in behind closed doors match at Newcastle United.
Tonight will see the return to the Southport starting line of captain Alan Moogan, who will make his first league appearance for the Sandgrounders this season after serving a three match suspension. Also coming back from injury is defender Earl Davis who will be available for selection from the squad.
Meanwhile, manager Liam Watson has agreed for left sided midfielder Matty McGinn to go out on loan to Chester City.
Trust in Yellow is running a coach to Southport's match at Kidderminster Harriers on Saturday. The coach departs Haig Avenue at 11am, with the price of £18 for members, £23 non-members, if paid in advance. To book, phone Alan Scarisbrick on 07980911693.

Here at The Corporate Theatre we have been deeply influenced by the philosophy of Martin Buber.
His approach to analysing human relations is baked into everything we do, helping leaders to connect with each other and the world around them in more truly meaningful, powerful, and human ways. We know, and our clients tell us, that this allows leaders to be more authentic, empathetic and creative—qualities which, when combined, make leaders more inspirational.
The guiding lights of Buber's philosophy are:
Buber shows us that there are two mindsets to choose from in all situations:
At The Corporate Theatre we show leaders how to embrace the "I-Thou" mindset. This is an attitude which we can adopt and which allows us not only to communicate and collaborate better with one another but to experience the world in a new and profound way.
But, learning to adopt an 'I-thou' mindset isn't just something that is helpful in business. Learning to exist in a state of I-thou is also something that can infuse our everyday lives, bringing new meaning to our personal relationship with others and the world we live in.
Today we want to share a story from one of our Corporate Theatre faculty, Markus Graw, a leading marketing consultant and former strategy consultant within the oil giant BP. Inspirational in all that he does, Markus's story shows how understanding Buber's philosophy has helped guide a close friend in her own personal relationships:
Yesterday I had another experience which proved to me the practicality and importance of Martin Buber's model I-it / I-thou model.
Here is the story:
I visited a friend of mine who had left her husband after thirty-three years and set up her own apartment in a town two hours away from her former home. She separated from her husband after her four children had left home and became depressed because she realised that for most of her married life her husband had chosen exclusively an I-it relationship. He defined the way she should be and behave and complained when she diverged from the path he defined. As long as the kids were at home she had enough of an I-thou relationship with them to compensate for the lack of an I-thou relationship with her husband. She more or less accepted his directives and lost her authenticity.
However, the moment the kids left home she felt something was missing in her life. With the help of a therapist she discovered that what she actually wanted was to be herself and tried to start a dialogue with her husband. It didn't work. He was not prepared to change his choice of relationship. He was so used to the life he had lead he could not understand her need for change, so she left.
My friend is still longing for her old life and home but is set firm not to go back to a purely I-It relationship.
Last Christmas she went back to her former home and the whole family came together to celebrate. It was pretty harmonious. Her husband didn't quarrel with her or constantly order her about.
After the holidays when back in her own new apartment he sent her a WhatsApp message: "Your son wants to know how you feel."
Over a long telephone call I spoke to her and about what the message might mean.
Her reaction: Why is my son not asking me directly?
My answer: It might not be your son who asked but your husband. He might be so caught up in his old self that he is shy of asking you directly such an emotional question.
Her reaction: well then I will answer him, that he should ask directly if he wants to know.
My answer: You can act in such an I-it way, but you would act with all that entails; directing him, defining your expectation and expecting him to comply. But you have a choice. You could act with the mindset of I-Thou, infuse him with your emotions and authentically, openly, and honestly tell him how you feel. The consequences of I-it behaviour in this case will be his immediate retreat and a persistence of the current situation. The consequences of an I-Thou behaviour in this case is offering a chance for change. How this will develop is unpredictable but by choosing I-Thou you allow the chance for change and by dropping demands and expectations towards him, you allow him to respond authentically.
I don't know what mindset my friend took, I-it or I-thou. But by embracing I-thou she had the opportunity, like all of us whether at home or in business, to move forward and to inspire others to embrace the positive and purposeful change open to us all.
We thank Markus for sharing this powerful, emotional, and real experience with us.

With spring on the way, renewing your energy with its longer days and warmer weather, it may have got you thinking about your health, fitness, career and relationship goals.
A fresh chance to review, reflect or just re-organise your priorities for the time being.
One of the things that's easy to neglect over the busyness of the year is your sex life – especially with a return to studying and assessments.
But that doesn't need to be the case. Here are a few ways to declutter your sex life.
1. If you like it, keep it
Much like those times when you sort out your stuff, if there's something in your sex life that you get immense joy out of, keep it.
So what if it's old and familiar?
Think of it as a little black dress; it does the job and you can always accessorise it for special occasions.
2. If you don't like it, ditch it
It may seem obvious but some habits die hard. Sometimes we get into a routine and it gives us no pleasure.
If you are there, stop now. Don't do what you do not want to do.
Change it up, give it a makeover, or just distract yourself with something else.
3. Be body safe
You've heard about toxic friends, right? But have you heard about toxic toys?
I'm talking phthalates, skin-safe rubber, proper storage and cleaning.
Read more about sex toy materials, and how to care for your toys.
4. Upgrade your lubes and condoms
Student life does sometimes hand you freebies; mostly condoms, pens and pizza. And who doesn't love a freebie?
However, just because something is free doesn't mean it's good quality.
If you are having regular sex and/or sex with someone you really like (aww) investing in some great-quality lube and condoms can make for an extra-special experience.
Check out Lovehoney's sex essentials buyers guides for details about different types of condoms and lubes.
5. Let's talk about sex
Occasionally we have a question or worry so big that it's hard to bear on our own. And you may be relieved to know that we are not alone!
If you've thought about it, it's likely someone else has, too.
If you have some trustworthy friends, have a chat with them. Or join a forum.
But remember that if your concern is related to your health or wellbeing, it's vital you reach out to a sexual health clinic or a charity that can help.
6. Learn something new
Remember how great it felt when you last learnt some DIY to fix something? Or, at least temporarily fixed something using tape?
Or maybe that time you realised that pesto can cover the taste of all your cooking disasters?
Regardless, learning something new is fun. Is there something, sexually, you've wanted to try but aren't sure how or where to start?
Now is the time to research it.
It doesn't mean that you have to go through with it – just file it away in the helpful to know section of your brain.
Also, it looks really hot, and impressive, when you drop some sex knowledge on potential partners.
7. Review
OK, so you've tried a new toy or taken your first foray into BDSM.
It's perfectly acceptable to bask in the glow of your experience – but it's also a good time to reflect.
How are you feeling? If you have a partner, how are they feeling? Do you need to talk about it with them?
8. Download your free Uni:Sex ebook
As if we weren't going to throw a freebie in!
Download the guide to better sex at college. You deserve it.
Do you have any hints and tips to spring clean your sex life? We'd love to hear about them below.

Journaling is a Wonderful Summer Camp Activity
When you look at the many benefits that journaling offers, it's not hard to see why it's such a great summer activity for kids. Journaling improves self-esteem and boosts confidence, encourages creative thinking, and helps kids become more comfortable in expressing their ideas.
While many teachers have kids journal in their regular classrooms, journaling is also a great activity for summer camp kids. Journaling can be integrated easily into regular camp activities in order to boost the benefits kids receive from their camp experiences.
Summer Camp Journal Writing Tips
Create a Regular Routine
As you prepare to include journaling with other summer camp activities, it's important to create a space in the routine. Regular journaling has many benefits for kids, as it gives them an expected, safe place to record their thoughts and to consider their experiences.
Designate a daily or weekly time for kids to journal, such as each morning before the day begins or at lunchtime before starting the afternoon's activities.
Whether you encourage kids to reflect on their experiences from camp or if they write about other topics, they will benefit from the opportunity to explore their thoughts, emotions, and ideas on the journal page.
Once you've decided to include journaling in the camp activity schedule, be sure to present this activity enthusiastically to your camp kids. This will have a positive influence on their overall experience with their journal writing time. While kids can gain some understanding from a single journaling experience, they'll develop more insight from regular exposure to writing and reflection, especially if they enjoy it!
Share Thoughts with a Friend
In many cases, journaling is a private activity, as it allows the journal keeper to explore their ideas without fear of judgment or embarrassment. However, kids can also benefit substantially from discussing their journal entries with friends and partners in camp activities.
Before asking kids to share their journals, give them the choice as to whether or not they want to discuss their entries—or tell them that they will be sharing before they begin writing. Each child's ideas should be treated with respect, and no camper should feel pressured to discuss anything that he or she would prefer to keep private.
Try pairing kids up into partners or create a small sharing circle where campers can discuss their individual ideas on a shared journaling topic. Encourage kids to be respectful of others' opinions and to discuss their thoughts in a constructive, understanding manner. The sharing of ideas is a healthy way to promote diversity and new perspectives while also giving kids the opportunity to express themselves.
Reflect on Camp Activities
While there are plenty of prompts and topics to choose from, journaling about camp activities is a great way for kids to reflect on their summer experiences. Ask kids to write about a favorite camp memory or difficult new activity.
Writing about their experience can help them to remember the event and also allows them the opportunity to see it from a new perspective.
As they reflect on the experiences they have at camp, kids will process the lessons they've learned in a more memorable, lasting way. At the same time, reflecting on a familiar activity will help them become more comfortable with the process of journaling—a practice that can serve them well throughout their lives.
Until next time, write on summer campers!

Instagram surprised lots of people with a massive update, one which didn't go down well at all. Engadget:
If you opened up Instagram today and found that your timeline orientation was totally switched, you weren't alone. It appears that quite a few users had a timeline that moved left to right, where posts could be tapped through as they can be in stories.
But wait, it wasn't even supposed to happen…
Sorry about that, this was supposed to be a very small test but we went broader than we anticipated. ?
— Adam Mosseri (@mosseri) December 27, 2018
Regardless, this is coming – though I wonder if Instagram will reconsider this move given the unhappiness displayed by many of those who got the update.

When you are at home, you open your outside door with a regular key, and that goes for your back door along with any others you have for the outside of your home. That is the right and proper way to enter your home. Things may be a bit different when you go on vacation or a business trip. When you check-in at the front desk they give you cards to enter your rooms. These cards are the keys to get into nit just the rooms but everywhere hotel guest have access. Of course, some resorts have gotten creative and have other ways of getting you into your hotel rooms.
The Different Entry Systems For Points Of Access
There are several hotels and motels that use any card key systems denver co. That's fine because that is what works for them. However, there is a very popular theme park that uses bands in order for guests to open up their doors and have now integrated to using cell phones now to do it. So technology is offering from different and unique ways of accommodating guests on how they access their rooms. It's not just rooms. There are certain hotel rooms that have safes for their guests. Some of them are the old fashioned key and lock method which still does the job but now you can program in a combination code on a digital safe to store your valuables. When you are at home, you can access these same methods depending on the type of you buy. If you hit the combination lock safe, you have to here every click to let you know it's right. These point of entry methods are just ingenious ways that we have advance to accommodate our need for security and access.
The Vehicles
When you enter your car now, you by turning it on before you even get in. This is a safety method though. Also, some vehicles don't require a key to start the engine. You just press a button. Also, you have the vehicles with the small combination entry. Plus, you can calm certain companies to unlock your car if you leave your keys in there. They can do it without coming out to see your vehicle. Technology has been so progressive about the way we handle everyday things. Who would have thought that it would have been so important as to how we got into our homes or other areas where a key was once s vital source. It just goes to show how technology helps to keep us safer. Think about it, you can turn your car on before you even get outside to get in it, which helps you to be able to drive off from a dangerous situation.
Having another form of access other than the traditional key is pretty cool. It helps because you can make your entry faster and it makes for a great safety feature. Try one of these for yourself.

The ability for people to get content on the internet is amazing. Instead of having to go through all kinds of channels in order to get their ideas out there, people can now make a blog or their own webpage to do so. And, on top of that, they can live off of it! Did you know that you can actually take the steps to learn to patent inventions because the internet has made the process that much easier for us as time goes on? It's true!
Using the internet to connect with people via blogging and social media is very unique. It's almost like having your own personal opinion editorial, and not having to go through anyone in order to do it. This allows ideas to be thrown into a more public sphere, and allows others to see what people are thinking and saying. We are also able to be entertained by these things.
People are also able to feed off of each other's ideas and innovations. The internet allows many people from all over the world to communicate and share ideas. Before, this was difficult, and you often all had to be in the same place. The internet has made it easier to have great minds "meet" (even though it's in a virtual sense) and create new and innovative ideas and inventions.
The biggest thing is, you may be trying to figure out how to get more Instagram followers that you can talk with and learn from. Or, you may be trying to monetize your ideas. How are you supposed to make sure that happens? Some people will buy likes – which can be a super handy thing, allowing your page to get more followers and making it easy for you to get whatever you may need in order to do well and stay ahead of your ideas.
Your social media site is yours alone, and you want to be sure that you're doing everything possible to get people interested about and excited about what you're doing. You want to be creative with your endeavours and be sure that you are able to accomplish as much as possible with your page. Buying likes and followers to start your page is a good, solid way to ensure that you can get the jump start that you need in order to be successful and feel good about your progress.
Is this going to make connecting and getting better at talking with others easier than it has been in the past? The answer is, likely, yes. And because of that, we want to take the time to really look at what is out there and see what it can do to benefit us in the long run. Take some time to explore this and to see if your ideas, creativity, and the content that you create could be the viral sensation that everyone is going to be talking about in the future.

Los Angeles City Councilman Bill Rosendahl joined Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officials and family members of a fatal shooting victim Tuesday, April 29th, to remind the public that a $50,000 reward is offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those involved in the victim's murder last year.
Los Angeles resident Armando Mariscal, 33, was fatally shot when he was sitting in the passenger seat of a vehicle that was stopped at a red light at Lincoln Boulevard and Maxella Avenue in Del Rey October 14th.
Rosendahl joined LAPD Deputy Chief Terry Hara, LAPD Pacific Capt. Joseph Hiltner and Mariscal's family members at the LAPD Pacific Community Station to reiterate that there is a $50,000 reward for suspect information in the murder case.
The Los Angeles City Council approved the reward in December.
Mariscal had left a neighborhood bar with his girlfriend and they were sitting in her car, when a suspect driving a white van stopped in the next lane and fired three rounds at Mariscal, striking him in the upper torso, police said.

Can we create an outstanding school based purely on routines, policies and metrics…?
The contemporary lifestyle we enjoy is only possible through the rational application of mechanistic principles. Our society has advanced due to our ability to track, predict and control the physical world, and such a formula now seems both obvious and extendible to every aspect of human life.
So, we're swamped with 'how to improve…' courses drawing upon the machine metaphor, along with the assumption that the fulfilment of such approaches should inevitably result in excellence everywhere. Efficiency, accountability and measurable efficacy seem to be all that industry, the inspectorate, and (consequently) our anxious parents appear to be interested in….
What's not to like …?!
Well… it is – I think – perfectly possible to get children to pass exams, and to get inspectors to be satisfied with what you are attempting to do as a school leader, simply through the careful use of 'machine' principles. This might be because you are a devotee of Taylorist management principles, Skinnerian behavioural principles, or just an adherent of any other tick-list of 'best practice' in how to succeed at something…
But, but….but……but…………BUT…………….Nothing will be outstanding.
We're not machines. Neither are our classrooms, our schools, nor the wider societies in which they're embedded. Work in Artificial Intelligence may strive to get robots to information process such that they can accurately replicate our behaviours, but, there is no pretence that they accomplish these activities in the same way that we ourselves carry them out.
Humans simply AREN'T computers! We are biological organisms which happen to have evolved the capability to perform computations at various levels of abstraction. The substrate of the human brain – and the general principles leading to 'action' – function entirely differently to the binary digital processing of invented computational devices.
Human reasoning only occasionally uses the slow process of logical deduction and syllogisms. In practice it tends more accurately to arrive at inferential outcomes based on a combination of evolutionary survival mechanisms: genetic, chemical and subliminally cognitive. Indeed, rational discourse is more often than not just an outward manoeuvre providing socially and psychologically respectable justification for what we've already done, or what we'd like to do.
So don't think you can completely engineer the learning of a child simply through cognitive principles. Don't think that you can just convince them rationally to become mathematicians, have a 'growth mindset', or to see the uncontestable logic of working hard and consequently behaving perfectly in class. Children might arrive at a point where they thoughtfully articulate the logical 'truth' or value of such things, but that will rarely have anything to do with you directly designing their thinking.
The idea that we can rationally plot how to move another person forward with any certainty is an illusion. We can never know for sure exactly what anybody else has experienced in their life, what their biology predisposes them towards, nor what their personal life experience will most demand of them in the future. We cannot plot in any detail a 'personalised learning' course for them. It's a vanity to think we can plan much beyond simply treating the symptomatic behaviour which appears before us in any particular moment. We can't even achieve this for ourselves….
Ultimately, human beings are organisms who need to be nurtured, challenged and sometimes cajoled towards the pursuit and fulfilment of excellence in a particular area, until such a goal happens to align with their search for personal satisfaction. If a teacher confidently declares their impact on a student, more often than not any certainly reflects simplistic hindsight. The process of progress is a subtle and messy business, emerging only after many competing interactions.
Similarly, classes too are more like organisms than machines. Do not think that you can just "manage" into existence a class of excellence through behaviourist principles, as if the children are simply a set of resources. Yes – structures, routines and consequences will benefit every child in your care, helping to channel and normalise behaviour and expectations. However, the key consequence of such things will lie primarily in as much as they enable you to connect personally with pupils as both individuals and – crucially – as a healthily functioning community, where the whole emerges independently of the strengths of the individual elements. An excellent class needs nurture.
And – yes – don't think that you can engineer an excellent school through commercial management principles, as if your staff and children are 'merely' a business. Yes, you might be able to avoid a pastoral worst-case scenario with a child. Yes, you might be able to help some struggling children achieve the bottom rung of skills assessments. Yes, you might be able to pass an inspection. But that's it. You cannot manage a school, or a class, or a child to excellence. For that, you require leadership.
Leadership principles are not just for designated 'leaders'. Rather, they are for any of us who wish to positively influence an individual or a group. Leadership relies on the engagement of you as a person with the lived reality of the individual in front of you. You need to connect with them – one human with another – and provide for them the sufficient conditions for them to be able to grow; sometimes through firm structures and constraints; sometimes through warm nurture and freedoms, but always through an authentically human relationship which enables the child – or indeed the community – to know and trust the difference.
We are a species of social beings, and this process transcends the individual to the collective mind of the class and the school. Great classes and schools need a sense of identity, of tradition, of camaraderie, of pride, of aspiration, of empathy, of humour and – above all – of compassion and charity. We can't simply 'manage' these things into being in a way which will create a healthily functioning organism.
Rather, what we need are teachers and leaders who can inspire, empathise, reassure, and generally collaborate as co-participants in the human condition.

I have heard and read different opinions about the wave of Syrian refugees who try to make their way in to EU. Then I went to Lesvos. 7 Days on the Greek Island gave me a healthier human perspective on the situation. Seeing in my own eyes the people behind the headlines and feeling their deep struggle, broke my heart.
Is this the "threat" people talk about? All I could see was courages people in a crisis. I also got to meet brave volunteers from all over the world who reach out to help all people regardless of their religion, race or background. That inspired me.
My hope is that this video will shake some of the bad ideas we sometimes feed ourselves with.

Saliba Douaihy is one of the great Lebanese artists of the 20th century. Born 1912 in Lebanon he moved to the USA in the 1950′s where his style changed dramatically from beautifully observed classical landscapes to technically brilliant abstracts in his later years.
In this period he changed his painting medium from oil to acrylic for his 'hard edged' paintings. AUB has three hard edge abstracts that illustrate very well the artist's process in mastering the nature of paint and paint mediums to enable painting in the 'hard edge' style.
We do well to reflect at this point that modern painters only got to where they are now because paint mediums changed. Pollock and Rothko could never have painted their large-scale format works or use the painting techniques they did (pouring, spraying, dripping etc) were it not for new developments in paint materials that began before, but were delayed by, WWII.
Picasso, who refused to have his ideas tethered to fixed working methods and materials, experimented with household paints in the first decade of the 20th century. Their fluidity, quantities, intense synthetic colours, durability, rapid drying and relative cheapness were just a few of the characteristics of household paint seized upon by creative geniuses seeking new modes for expression.
Sequieros inspired many mid 20th century 'Greats' to explore modern commercial paints in his 1936 workshops in New York, paving the way to the modern art of painting we know today.
The American University of Beirut has in its collection seventeen paintings by Saliba Douaihy. This collection covers his oeuvre from the classics of the 1950′s, to 1990′s abstracts and his embracing of the modern movement.
Having worked as Conservator on these seventeen paintings more will be written about them in a later article. However, a piece of advice learned from my exposure to Douaihy's paintings is on how they should be handled – Do Not Varnish them.
Most of these Douaihy paintings, whether early landscapes or later abstracts are without varnish (one oil on panel had a patchily applied resin varnish). It was the artist's choice; whether he didn't have any varnish, didn't like varnish or simply forgot, there is precedence for not varnishing.
It is problematic for the Conservator; removing imbibed surface dirt is complicated, difficult and sometimes impossible. For the Collector, Curator and Conservator alike without a protective coat of varnish paintings are even more vulnerable to dirt and environmental contaminants; display and storage environments are matters for serious and professional concerns (more on that in a later blog).
In this article though I wish to draw attention to another of Douaihy's talents, that of designer of Stained Glass.
In the USA he lived and worked in an atelier above the Maronite 'Church of Our Lady of Lebanon' in Brooklyn, New York. I visited the church earlier this month to see its stained glass pictures of Saints in the lower windows and the great arch window above the Nave entrance.
The stained glass is quite remarkable.
The windows are not traditional leaded lights but a mosaic of overlapping pieces of coloured glass in several layers, acting as a prism. I was fortunate to view them on a glittering autumn day (a week after the late October hurricane which wreaked such havoc on America's East coast but cleared the atmosphere of particulate pollution) the light was spectacular.
Fortunately the Church (currently undergoing scaffolded maintenance) was in good and safe order.
Dr Saleeby, collection donor to AUB and friend and confidant of the artist said Douaihy would sketch out his basic designs and lay his glass mosaic pieces over the image.
It is both a direct and expressive technique enabling him to draw upon his painters consciousness and his eye as a great colourist.
I will write again on his technique in making the windows but to finish this introduction on a painterly note, I bring the subject of his paintings and his glass work together.
Above the Altar Douaihy painted in oil on plaster a huge landscape vista of 'Our Lady of Lebanon' a 20metre high statue catching the eye of both pilgrim and passerby as it towers above Beirut overlooking the Mediterranean sea. It is an instantly recognisable landmark.
In in a display of artistic beauty and conceit Douaihy mirrors his painting in his stained glass design for the Church. Using the same subject for the stained glass window above the Nave we see changes of shape from the naturalistic to the stylised forms dictated by the medium. More intense colour requiring sunlight to inform us of the spirit of the place is pressed upon the artist by the medium.
The medium of stained glass forces a change of vision and in doing this Douaihy shifted too and we see signs of the future artist he was to become.
Douaihy brought prodigious, yet to be discovered talent, into this Church and used it to remind everyone of his love for his homeland.
As his paintings begin to receive ever greater International recognition Douaihy's work directs this towards Lebanon, a tribute he most surely intended.

Unicorns are a staple on my Twitch stream. My sister always said that my Twitch community should be called the Ninja Nation because everyone joked that my name was spelled Ninja with a silent J. Thus the concept behind this design was born.

Awesome design to wear if you like something different.

Squads for the event in Nassau include nine Olympic relay medallists
The British team is expected to make "a big statement of intent" at the IAAF World Relays in Nassau, Bahamas, on April 22-23, with nine Olympic relay medallists and 10 world relay medallists among those selected.
A 25-strong team has been named for the event, with British Athletics performance director Neil Black outlining how the 4x100m and 4x400m competitions are the focus, though with the squads selected GB could also contest the 4x200m. The event also offers 4x800m and mixed 4x400m competitions.
After being recently crowned European indoor 60m champions, both Asha Philip and Richard Kilty have been confirmed on the squads.
Philip is joined by her fellow Rio Olympic 4x100m bronze medallists Desiree Henry and Daryll Neita (pictured above), with Dina Asher-Smith missing out as she continues her rehab after injury.
Among those selected alongside Kilty are Adam Gemili and Chijindu Ujah, who formed part of the team to win European 4x100m gold in Amsterdam last year.
The women's 4x400m squad features the Olympic bronze medal-winning quartet of Eilidh Doyle, Emily Diamond, Anyika Onuora and Christine Ohuruogu, plus Kelly Massey who ran in the qualifying round. In the men's equivalent, 2015 world bronze medallists Jarryd Dunn, Martyn Rooney, Delano Williams and Rabah Yousif are among those on the team.
"We are taking these championships incredibly seriously, something we have shown by selecting our best possible teams," said Black.
"We really only have two competitive chances to test out our strike four relay teams ahead of the IAAF World Championships in London this summer – this April in Nassau and at the European Team Championships in June – so it was essential that all those who are fit made themselves available for selection.
"I am looking for the team to grasp this opportunity and make a big statement of intent in the Bahamas. We have such strength and depth in our relay squads that our athletes should be desperate to make all British Athletics relay teams, and being available for selection at the World Relay Championships reflects that ambition.
"Whilst these championships offer the possibility to enter teams into other relay disciplines, our primary focus is firmly on the 4x100m and the 4x400m competitions – the events where we intend to be challenging for medals at London 2017."
The top eight finishers in the 4x100m and 4x400m for both men and women at the IAAF World Relays earn automatic entry for the IAAF World Championships London 2017.

Over the years, fighting became a condition that afflicted us as opposed to an exception. Of course, things like that don't happen overnight, but overtime. Just like a natural disaster; high winds, low temperatures, birds fleeing, dogs barking – warning signs. It used to be that no matter what fights we had, no matter how loud out shout-o-meters got, as long as our feet found each other under the covers, you'd know that you were okay, that the weather was just windy and we overreacted. But we never suspected they were symptoms of another disaster that was ready to rumble.
You're oblivious to the fact that you're spending every waking hour with each other, and especially not noticing you're making less and less eye contact. Eye contact psychologically helps a person feel they're peering into another's soul, a sense of connection. but as time goes on, you even start going to bed together facing forward. Maybe at a television, or a laptop, or even a book by Kierkegaard. But you stop facing each other when going to bed because you secretly believe that if you looked at each other, you'd notice there was nothing there. You'd have to schedule an appointment for affection.
When you start trying to justify what happened, you start to truly believe that love is something you were allowed to just fall in and out of. Highs and lows. The lows just get lower and the highs don't peak like they used to.
How did it get there? Time. However, through that thick aggravating haze, you're blinded to the fact that you both went through it together. You don't talk much anymore but that's because you can literally read each others minds and become stubborn when the other doesn't want to acknowledge it. He'll remember to schedule an appointment with the plumber while she remembers to pick up the dry-cleaning. She wakes up grumpy in the mornings, and he knows she does so he compensates. He leaves the new roll of toilet paper on top of the finished cardboard one, but she knows it only takes two seconds to change it; she huffs, he puffs. But you were both responsible for getting to where you both are, grew old and boring together, but you took that journey together. That, in the end was a greater trip than a weekend in Venice, a drunken night out on the town, or even a season pass to Cartoonland. That was a trip you took as an us.

Commonwealth Secretary-General Kamalesh Sharma has expressed his deep shock at the passing away of the President of Malawi, Dr Bingu wa Mutharika.
In a statement issued in London, Mr Sharma said: "On behalf of the Commonwealth family and on my own behalf, I would like to convey my deepest condolences to the family of the late President and to the Government and people of Malawi."
"President Mutharika was a strong supporter of the Commonwealth. The membership has benefited from his active participation at various summits, including most recently, at the Heads of Government Meeting in Perth, Australia in 2011. Only this year, I visited Malawi at the invitation of President Mutharika.
During our meeting, we discussed Commonwealth values, and the practical partnerships that the Commonwealth would provide in future to strengthen adherence to those fundamental values."
"The Commonwealth stands in solidarity with Malawi at this trying time. I hope that the people of Malawi will have the strength to cope with this loss and that all concerned will find a peaceful and constitutional way forward from this tragedy. The Commonwealth will stand by Malawi, as a trusted partner, towards that end," the Secretary-General concluded.

If you are thinking of starting a blog… WordPress Hosting
No One Blogging Platform is Right for Everyone "Different bloggers have different needs", and
different blogging platforms are good for different things. Ultimately the "best" one will depend
on you and your situation."
This site contains affiliate links, which means we can earn a small commission (at no extra cost to you) if you make a purchase.
BLACK FRIDAY to CYBER MONDAY 75% Off Hosting SITEGROUND
Two kinds of WordPress hosting .com and .org
WordPress.com doesn't allow third-party plugins (unless you upgrade to their "business" plan). So,
if your girl friend tells you about this "amazing" WordPress plugin "you've got to try," you're out of luck until you upgrade to a self-hosted WordPress site.
I suggest that you start with WordPress.org. This is the self hosted type with a domain name. Why?
Several reasons the main one being that YOU own it not Square Space or any of the many free sites, they own it. Professional bloggers use WordPress.org. You can monetize it. You can customize it to be uniquely you.
Is this for you?
#1: You have a message to share with the world
#2: You want to build a business from home and have an impact on the world through blogging
#3: You know that you have the ability to build a successful blog, but are not sure how to start
You need someone to break down this blogging thing for you and give you an actionable plan to follow
