Somali business flourishes in Kenya but xenophobia threatens the peace in Eastleigh

For the last two decades, the majority of news reports coming in from Somalia have been almost exclusively negative. The country has been plagued by clan-based enmities, some of which still run deep within today's Somali society, extreme political instability that left the country without a functioning government since 1991, as well as the emergence of modern-day piracy, the formation of the militant "al-Shabaab" group, and a severe food crisis, which resulted in the establishment of the world's largest refugee camp.
The Somali Spring?
Recently, however, there has been reason for hope. For the first time since 1991, when dictator Said Barre's rule came to a violent end, a new leader has been chosen within the country. Somalia's 2012 presidential elections saw Hassan Sheikh Mohamoud elected as the new president. The good news doesn't stop there. The government succeeded in chasing out the Islamist extremist al-Shabaab group out of Mogadishu, Somalia's capital. As a result, Mogadishu has experienced a real housing boom that saw property prices rise for the first time in over 20 years. On top of this, pirate activity is said to have been continuously decreasing. The Economist recently quoted a report by the International Maritime Bureau (IMB), which stated that the number of attacks declined by nearly two thirds since 2011.
Eastleigh - Little Mogadishu
With all the negative press the East African country has received over the last two decades, a number of compelling developments have been simply overlooked. Just like there is a "Little Italy" in New York's district of Manhattan, there is now a "Little Mogadishu" in one of the suburbs of Kenya's capital. As Somalis have been escaping their home country due to the uncertainty of a future there, many have found a new home in Nairobi's suburb Eastleigh, which is now almost entirely inhabited by Somali immigrants and a center for Somali business.
The development of Somali-owned businesses has been a true success story. When Somalia as a functioning state collapsed and the economy broke down in the early 90s, a big fraction of economic activity has simply been relocated - or exported - to Kenya. A paper published by the think tank Chatham House, describes some of the effects of these developments:
"The economic transformation of Eastleigh has brought a new level of competition to Nairobi, substantially reducing the cost of goods and services. Growing Somali investment in Nairobi has also attracted banks and other service-providers, demonstrating that urban refugees are not necessarily a burden on the state and can be an economic asset."
It is true that immigrants usually contribute a fair share towards the economic prosperity of their country of origin, thereby functioning as an economic asset; one might take Mexican immigrants in the United States as one example. Rather unfortunately, and despite this fact, however, xenophobia is still a common phenomenon.
Growing xenophobia against Somalis
This is precisely what can be witnessed in Kenya. For a long time, there had been rising frustration among Kenyans, who saw an increase in housing prices due to the increased and successful Somali business activity. Additionally, there are concerns in relation to funds and starting capital for the vast number of Somali businesses. Many people believe that a large portion of the money, which flows into Somali business investments in Kenya, such as real estate, is in fact money that stems from piracy. As the Financial Times wrote this weekend:
"Laden with sacks of cash, these rogue investors were said to be converting illegally-acquired ransom bounty into commercial and residential real estate in Nairobi's bustling Eastleigh district." (FT Weekend, 17/18 November 2012)
After a bus bombing in Eastleigh this month, which left many injured and at least 8 people dead, a mob of Kenyans attacked Somalis and their shops - blaming them for the deadly blast. The situation remains tense, and another outbreak of ethnic clashes is not implausible, even though a divide along ethnic lines is not as simple as it would seem. Nairobi and its districts are quite diverse, being home to Kenyans, ethnic Somalis and Kenyan Somalis alike.
One could say that the militant al-Shabaab group is the root of the problem. Since the Kenyan army's involvement in the fight against al-Shabaab in Somalia, there have been several attacks on Kenyan soil. For many people the equation is simple; a war on al-Shabaab equals a war on Somalis. Even though the attacks hurt both Kenyans and Somalis - and so do the resulting tensions and clashes.

Campus Reform | MSU students replace Republican messages with communist propaganda after midterm elections
MSU students replace Republican messages with communist propaganda after midterm elections
A rock promoting Michigan Republicans on Michigan State's campus was painted with communist propaganda on Election Night.
"Snyder for MI" was replaced with "LENIN for MI."
The flag of the Soviet Union was also painted onto the rock.
Students commemorated this week's midterm elections by painting communist images over pro-Republican messages on Michigan State University's campus on Election Night.
The messages appeared overnight on a rock that MSU's College Republicans had reserved for Election Day. Student groups are able to advertise events or promote campus activism on the rock by reserving the space through student services--although that generally doesn't stop other student groups from repainting it.
The rock originally said "Go Green," "Vote Red," and "Snyder for MI." Overnight the words "Go Green" were replaced with the flag of the Soviet Union, and "Snyder for MI" was replaced with "Lenin for MI."
"I thought it was poor taste on whoever did it," Matt Bedard, a senior political science major at MSU told Campus Reform. "I'm really disappointed to see that when we have this Democratic system people can't operate with tact and respect."
Bedard, who is a member of MSU's College Republicans as well as various other conservative student groups, said that while their intention with the rock was to spread a conservative message on Election Day, they had no animosity toward their opponents.
"Obviously our leftist and Democratic opponents weren't of the same mindset," he said.
Bedard told Campus Reform that members of the College Republicans camped out in shifts in order to prevent other student groups from vandalizing their work at first. Indisputably, their plan was not successful.
Gov. Rick Snyder (R) defeated his Democratic challenger Mark Schauer in his bid for reelection on Tuesday.

Pawn Sacrifice

The film tells about the career of Bobby Fischer, the biggest chess player of the past, in the years when the cold war between America and Russia accelerated, by passing his Russian rivals one by one and reaching the world championship.
Robert James "Bobby", the first and only chess champion raised in America, describes the Russian rival Boris Spassky, the prominent actress Liev Schreiber, while playing Fischer in the film about the life of "Bobby" Fischer, while he won the title of Russian rival Boris Spassky. successfully portrays… Just like John Nash in the "Mind Games" is experiencing what Bobby Fischer and his balance of balance lose balance, showing how big the frustrations can be. In fact, Bobby Fischer ends his world championship chess career by being expelled from the International Chess Federation. Fischer, a Jewish American citizen born in America in 1943, continues to make anti-Russian statements, worsen his belief in Judaism despite the improved American-Russian relationship, and is ultimately removed from American citizenship. Despite the pride of his country and its citizens, despite all the pride, Fischer, who has received the reaction of almost the whole nation, died in 2008 in Iceland, where he demanded citizenship and asylum (which he also won the championship).

Index Ventures is currently one of Europe's leading venture capital firms, having collaborated with digital companies like asos, Dropbox, Skype and Soundcloud.
Pentagram's John Rushworth and Eddie Opera have created a new identity and website for the firm that adopts a graphic symbol to reflect the company's "strong, single-minded culture and style".
"The 'hand' serves as a visual metaphor of Index Ventures' qualities – subtle, supportive, and sensitive, but also inspiring, vital and versatile. The 'hand' is also playful, referencing our most technologically active body part and the firm's connection to the consumer world," explain the designers.
The symbol has been integrated across Index Ventures' touchpoints, while red and monochrome colour palettes and typefaces, as well as asymmetrical layouts aim to reflect the firm's familial heritage and Swiss background.

Manufacturers and other leaders always seem to use these elections as reasons to wait rather than make tough decisions about their futures. Many of these same people are waiting again to see what President-elect Trump will ultimately do, but winning companies rarely wait for the fog to lift on new policies. They create their own paths. Now is the time to follow their lead because the fundamental trends have never been clearer for action.
Personally, I can remember the last seven elections and the same pattern always emerges. Around the Fourth of July, chatter begins to change from "what do we do next" to "maybe we should wait to see who wins." It starts as isolated conversations and by the fall, those discussions are front and center wherever you go. By election time, most people are focused on what will happen in D.C., and not so much on what they can do with their business.
Instead of waiting for the Trump policies to come out of the mist, it makes more sense to look at what worked in the past. More often than not success or failure depends on individual action, not government policies. If you believe that premise, then it makes much more sense to act rather than wait.
Winning companies take action by focusing on the fundamentals — both inside and outside of their organization. These companies keep it simple, using straightforward tools to understand their situation and set direction. Engaging their entire team, these companies create a shared view of their position, practical strategies to move ahead, and steady actions to execute. This approach puts these organizations in position to make small bets to test those strategies and keep moving forward. Wait becomes a four-letter word.
Well I have put off retirement until see where the medicare costs go and social security so that is one body. But I have also evaluated my business plan for my on line business next year. Given my market I expected an uptick in sales due to the overtime rule changes - they are now on hold and may disappear. I am already getting art consignments from freelancers who depend on the affordable care act (especially folks in their 40's and 50's) and are preparing for major changes. Expect some shifts in that market and the gig economy next year. This will continue as people learn more details about what is going to happen - the affordable care act through the marketplace reduces medicare costs- medicare is a key role in maintaining a health care infrastructure in many Wisconsin rural counties. As the affordable care act ends or changes there will be major changes in those counties. over 50% of the population is waiting to see what happens because they will be affected by health care changes, social security changes and changes in tax codes (which may not be all that rosy for many given the basic details- some people will lose benefits and see their taxes flat or increase) I expect we will see some slowing in local expenditures by families as details come out. It also probably is a good time to sell off any property near water as it will be rising whether we all believe in climate change or not. Also be careful with your taxes as there will be more audits like under Reagan (and on small businesses under Walker) I have lived 66 years and weathered a number of bad eras. You don't shut down shop- you persevere but you don't go into them blind either. Learn the details!


Croatian mobile operator Hrvatski Telekom has begun an internal pilot of NFC-enabled mobile payments.
The pilot, which will continue until the end of October 2012, involves some two hundred employees of Hrvatski Telekom making tap and go payments at selected points of sale using their NFC-enabled mobile phones. According to HT, this marks the first time NFC payments have been piloted in Croatia.

Rose and Irving Fell Violin Scholarship
Rose and Irving Fell were born in Chicago, Illinois and attended school there until Irving and his parents moved to Bloomington, Indiana in 1917 when he was 8 years old. The two children often wrote and visited one another and eventually fell in love. Rose and Irving studied violin and enjoyed playing for family and friends. In September of 1931, they married and made their home in Bloomington. Irving became a businessman who owned the Fell Iron and Medal Company. He played his violin for service clubs and social events. Rose, who was a professional violinist, became acquainted with Dean Merrill of Indiana University Jacobs School of Music. He quickly drafted her to play in the University Orchestras. Both Rose and Irving shared their love of music with their three children. Roberta, the eldest, studied piano; Arthur studied piano with Professor Hofzimmer. Their third child, Eleanor, became a professional harpist. The fells always encouraged their family, and others, to support music in the home and in the community.
This violin scholarship was presented to Rose Fell by her three children in honor of her 91st birthday on February 22, 2002, and also in memory of their father, Irving, who passed away in 1979 at the age of 69.
Rose and Irving Fell's devotion to the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music is represented by this violin scholarship, which is presented annually.


Governor Kenneth E. Mapp (center) and Lieutenant Governor Osbert E. Potter (left) welcome Spirit Airlines' new flight from Orlando to St. Thomas. At right is Stephen Schuler, Spirit's Director of Communications.
U.S. Virgin Islands Governor Kenneth E. Mapp and Lieutenant Governor Osbert E. Potter, members of the Virgin Islands Port Authority, and the Department of Tourism welcomed the inaugural Spirit Airlines flight from Orlando to St. Thomas on its touchdown Thursday, November 8.
Spirit flight 284, with a full flight of 145 passengers, landed at Cyril E. King International Airport shortly before 3 p.m to a traditional water cannon salute. The Airbus 319 was greeted with a Carnival-themed welcome and Cruzan rum samples for passengers.
Thanking the airline for strengthening "aerial highways" to the Virgin Islands, Governor Mapp, Lieutenant Governor Potter and Assistant Commissioner of Tourism Joyce Dore-Griffin highlighted the importance of the central Florida market to the destination, both for traditional leisure tourism and VFR (Visiting Friends and Relatives) travelers.
The governor welcomed Spirit's team and its passengers to St. Thomas and thanked the Department of Tourism for its efforts to boost the economic development of the islands by attracting increased airlift to the territory.
In turn, Stephen Schuler, Spirit's Director of Communications, described the airline's relationship with with the Virgin Islands tourism team. "As an airline we love working with really good groups and this is the best in the industry, the best in the world," said Schuler, adding that the airline is in the business of connecting family and friends and providing more low cost options for people to travel.
Before take-off in Orlando, passengers were greeted by tourism representatives, steel pan music, carnival dancers and a celebratory cake to commemorate the opening of the gateway to St. Thomas.

We explore the relationship between the morphology and ionic conductivity of block copolymer electrolytes over a wide range of salt concentrations for the system polystyrene-block-poly(ethylene oxide) (PS-b-PEO, SEO) mixed with lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide salt (LiTFSI). Two SEO polymers were studied, SEO(16-16) and SEO(4.9-5.5), over the salt concentration range r = 0.03-0.55. The numbers x and y in SEO(x-y) are the molecular weights of the blocks in kg mol-1, and the r value is the molar ratio of salt to ethylene oxide moieties. Small-angle X-ray scattering was used to characterize morphology and grain size at 120 °C, differential scanning calorimetry was used to study the crystallinity and the glass transition temperature of the PEO-rich microphase, and ac impedance spectroscopy was used to measure ionic conductivity as a function of temperature. The most surprising observation of our study is that ionic conductivity in the concentration regime 0.11 ≤ r ≤ 0.21 increases in SEO electrolytes but decreases in PEO electrolytes. The maximum in ionic conductivity with salt concentration occurs at about twice the salt concentration in SEO (r = 0.21) as in PEO (r = 0.11). We propose that these observations are due to the effect of salt concentration on the grain structure in SEO electrolytes.

Fake Movies & Shows From 'Arrested Development' Get Added To Netflix
Fake Movies & Shows From 'Arrested Development' Get Added To Netflix
Joe Cunningham
As if we weren't already excited enough about the revival of "Arrested Development," Netflix has gone and made sure we'll remember just how excited we are on a regular basis while browsing the site. The cult sitcom, which aired on Fox between 2003 and 2006, was always great at peppering the show with gags so there were always plenty of in-jokes for fans to love. Well, full credit to Netflix for exploiting those and peppering them across the site.
On Wednesday they added a bunch of fake shows and movies to their streaming catalog, all of which were featured in the first three seasons of the show. Titles like "Girls with Low Self Esteem: Newport Beach" which guest star Zach Braff presented on the show, George Micheal's favorite piece of European cinema "Les Cousins Dangereux," and the Judge Reinhold-starring courtroom series "Mock Trial With J. Reinhold" are now all up as links on the site, although sadly they all link back to the "Arrested Development" page.
Sure it would have been great to be able to watch titles like "Boyfights," "Caged Wisdon: Musings From Prison," "Families With Low Self Esteem," "Wrench," "Scandalmakers," "Ready, Aim … Marry Me!," and "World's Worst Drivers" for real, but we're happy enough with reminders like this about just how great the series was. So great job, Netflix, way to do viral marketing the right way! Check out the synopses and artwork below. [Splitsider via /Film]

Click here to login New entrants to pet microchip market draw critics
As if the microchip system for pet identification wasn't complicated and inefficient enough, an influx of new players is adding confusion and stirring tension in the market.
Critics of the newcomers say the problem rests largely with those that sell chips with identification numbers that begin 9-0-0, a prefix shared by multiple companies. Established players use unique prefixes that allow chips to be traced back to their respective manufacturers. With so-called 900 chips, tracing a product to its origin may be more difficult.
Vendors of 900 chips say they're not to blame for the confusion, and charge competitors with raising criticisms in an attempt to stifle competition. Some say they entered the muddy field of pet microchips precisely because it's flawed, and they hope to improve it.
An examination by the VIN News Service found that the problem isn't inherent with 900 chips. The issue is whether the microchip vendor provides ongoing support to customers, such as by being available to help track down owners of lost animals and participating in petmicrochiplookup.org, an online search tool.
In general, the pet microchipping system is bewildering, even when everything goes as planned. A common misconception is that the chip acts like a GPS device to pinpoint the pet's location, but the system is not that straightforward. Here is how it's supposed to work, by and large:
1. A device the size of a rice grain or smaller is implanted between the shoulder blades of a pet. The device has a unique number, similar to a Social Security number, except with up to 15 digits.
2. The person or organization implanting the device, usually a veterinarian or animal shelter personnel, records the number and the pet owner's name and contact information with a microchip registry, or instructs the pet owner to do so.
3. If the pet is picked up lost, the finder takes it somewhere it can be scanned, usually a veterinary clinic or animal shelter. The scanner detects the chip and displays its number.
4. The finder (or veterinarian or shelter) copies the number into a search field on the online site petmicrochiplookup.org to determine which registry — out of many — houses the pet's owner information. The finder contacts the registry, locates the owner and returns the pet.
But reality doesn't necessarily work that way. A main point of breakdown is that many owners fail to register the microchips, or neglect to keep registration information up-to-date. This is where a problem with 900 chips may arise.
Historically, veterinarians and shelter personnel could identify the chip vendor by the unique manufacturers' code. It functioned like an area code in the days before area codes and mobile phones proliferated, when the number indicated the geographic location of the caller.
With multiple microchip companies using 900 as the opening sequence, it's unclear with which company a given 900 chip originated. It's not even clear how many companies use 900 chips. Estimates range from half a dozen to many dozens.
If the company participates with petmicrochiplookup.org, which is run by the nonprofit American Animal Hospital Association, it should be identifiable through the search tool. And if the company can be reached around-the-clock — since animals get lost and found at all times of the day and night, weekends and holidays — and maintains good records on its chip sales, the system may still work.
Here's where more criticism of the 900 chip arises: Not all companies participate with the lookup tool, and some that do reportedly are not necessarily accessible or helpful.
"With the 900 chips, I can call the company that sold it, and I probably won't get an answer," said John Bowman, supervisor of Norman Animal Welfare, a municipal shelter in Oklahoma.
"I've gone through this before," he recounted. "I've personally called them and there's no answer. Usually it just rings off the wall. And when you do get somebody, they'll tell ya, 'We don't track who we sold them to.' "
Three dogs have come through the Norman shelter with 900 chips during the past year, Bowman said. Two made it home after their owners came to the shelter looking for their lost pets. Those owners were unhappy that the microchips failed to work as expected. "They were miffed because, they said, 'We've got a microchip!' " Bowman recalled. "We explained that there's no registration on the microchip."
The third dog did not make it home because the shelter couldn't identify its owner. The dog ended up being adopted by someone else.
Bowman said with frustration, "Microchips, they're not worth the money if they're not trackable back to somebody."
Staff at PetLink, a pet recovery service and registry operated by Datamars Inc., a long-time player in the microchip industry, have been fielding calls from animal shelter personnel looking for help identifying the companies behind unregistered 900 chips, according to Steve Wilcox, Datamars vice president of sales.
Prompted by the calls, Wilcox said he spent two weeks this spring surveying rescue workers and shelter managers about their experiences with 900 chips. He reported hearing a recurring tale of trouble finding the owners of unregistered pets due to difficulty finding "backtrack" information to the companies that sold the chips. In most such cases, he said, the shelters released the pets for adoption by new owners.
"This is causing grief and pain at shelters across the country," Wilcox said. "It also (means) unfortunate pet owners are being given a false sense of security."
Wilcox and representatives of other established microchip companies say that the best way to avoid the grief and disappointment is to buy chips from well-known companies.
Newcomers defend practices
Newer microchip vendors consider that advice self-serving.
"We're in a competitive environment and they're losing market share and they're fighting back," said Jon Dyer, CEO of 911PetChip, which entered the 25-year-old market five years ago.
Chips sold by Dyer's company begin with 911, not 900, but established players regard it dubiously because the code was not assigned by the International Committee for Animal Recording. ICAR is an industry organization that has as one of its tasks preventing the duplication of animal identification numbers. Adhering to ICAR standards is voluntary.
A former investment banker, Dyer said he was urged by his brother-in-law, a veterinarian, to co-found the company in an attempt to fix what they see as the main problem dogging the pet microchip system: multiple registries.
Not only do untold numbers of registries exist, their prices vary. Some charge an annual fee, some charge to update contact information and so on.
"We wanted to get rid of the confusion, make it a simple process and make it free," Dyer said.
At 911PetChip, the price paid by the original buyer, whether a veterinary clinic, shelter or breeder, covers the cost of registration, Dyer said. Anyone else who wishes to use the registry may do so for free, as well; they don't have to have a 911 chip.
"Our goal in starting this was … we believe there should be one registry," Dyer said. "There should be one, and it should be free. Whether it's us or anybody else, there needs to be one national registry. So we're leading by example."
Another newcomer, Petstablished, entered the microchip market somewhat unintentionally. The company's primary focus is selling management software to animal welfare organizations, according to the founder, Marc Thalheim. Petstablished began carrying chips at the request of its customers. Those chips sport the 900 number.
Thalheim said being an unknown player with a 900 chip would be a problem were it not for the existence of the online lookup tool. Thalheim said he made a point of participating with the AAHA-run search engine. "We weren't going to do it unless we got in…" he said. "If you're not there and you have a 900 chip, your service isn't really a service."
At least one company selling 900 chips does not participate with petmicrochiplookup.org. K9microchips, which advertises "chips as low as $2.97/ea!" appears to do nothing but sell chips, providing no support or user registry.
A disclaimer on its website states in part: "K9Microchips.com & its representatives are in no way obligated to assist anyone in anyway that did not directly do business with K9Microchips.com. We make no promise to keep information on who purchases microchips, nor to document which microchips are shipped to which customers."
The company did not respond to email and telephone messages left by the VIN News Service.
While some vendors of 900 chips may be sketchy, the problem isn't the 900 number per se, but the level of service provided by the seller, said Aimee Gilbreath, executive director of the Found Animals Foundation. The nonprofit organization sells a private-label Datamars chip and runs a free registry open to all chip brands.
In trying to distinguish the bad actors from the good, "I don't think you're going to find a quick and easy rule of thumb," said Gilbreath, whose organization has been in the chip arena for 2½ years. "Listen, some of the established companies, there are things they do that I think are not to the benefit of consumers. Like charging people an exorbitant amount of money to change their contact information, which is a disincentive to keep your registration up-to-date."
Some hallmarks of a reputable microchip company are easy to identify: Do they participate in the online lookup tool? Are staff available to help track the ownership of a lost, unregistered animal?
Others are more debatable. For example, Dr. John Wade, a veterinarian who has been in the microchip business for 25 years and currently is the CEO of Microchip ID Systems Inc., strongly believes that 24-hour telephone service with live agents is essential.
"There are things that arise every single day that require conversation," Wade said.
For instance, direct conversation is needed to sort through misread or miswritten numbers, he said: "Somebody has put in 1-3 instead of a B," or "there are people who transpose numbers all the time. All the time."
And then there are cases that require sleuthing, such as when an animal "belonged to Joe but Joe died and now it's his daughter" who needs to be contacted, Wade said. "When you have these (online only) recovery networks and the only thing you can do is type a number and a name pops up, that's not a recovery."
Hugh Cottingham, CEO of Nanochip ID Inc., which sells a chip that starts with 900 as well as a newer chip with the number 990, has a different view on the value of the telephone.
"All of the other services, they use old technology. They're phone-based," Cottingham said. "You go to the Internet and all you get is the 800 number (of the company), and then you call the 800 number. An operator has to do the lookup and then try to contact the owner while you are on the phone. It can be very time-consuming, waiting on hold. Our system is direct to the owner. Whether you're using the website or the telephone, you get the owner's contact information directly. You don't have to talk to anyone else. …"
He continued: "Some of the (other services), they make you post your number on their website saying that you found this dog, 'call me.' It's much less optimal. We thought we could be 21st century and just get rid of the phone, basically."
To protect owners' privacy, their names and addresses aren't provided, only telephone numbers, Cottingham added.
AAHA, which runs the pet microchip lookup tool, learned only recently of concerns about 900 chips, said spokeswoman Kate Wessels. "We're trying to educate ourselves to find out what needs to be done, if anything," she said.
Making the tool accessible to as many companies as possible is a priority for the organization. "We want to be as inclusive as possible in order to better aid in pet recovery," Wessels said.
After consulting with the AAHA leadership team, Wessels said the group will focus on sharing information about the wrinkles associated with microchipping. "The question is … how to best educate veterinary professionals and pet owners to be aware of the issues involved with microchipping," she said. "We've always known it's a difficult industry."

5 Things You Need to Know Before You Try Anal Sex
Read this before you go there.
By Hannah Norling
How many women are having anal sex? According to one 2017 survey of millennials, 35% of sexually active women do it "at least some of the time." That lines up with a Centers for Disease Control report, which shows that 36% of women have done it at least once.
RELATED: How Risky Is Anal Sex? A Gynecologist Explains
But whatever the number is, one thing's for sure: Once-taboo anal sex is edging into the mainstream among heterosexual couples. Unlike penis-in-vagina sex, anal sex inspires lots of fear-mongering and myths. Hey, we're not here to judge. But we do want to clear up the confusion if you're thinking of giving it a try. Here are five things to consider.
It might hurt, so go slow
While the vagina is elastic and accommodating, the anus and rectum have thinner skin and don't share that same flexibility. If you're interested in trying anal play, a good way to get acclimated and avoid pain is by first inserting a finger or using a butt plug, advises Nebraska-based certified sex therapist Kristen Lilla. When you feel comfortable enough to move on to your partner's penis, start off slowly, and make sure you communicate how you feel and if he needs to put on the brakes.
Staying calm is key; the more relaxed your body is, the less clenched your muscles will be. "Women (and men) may experience discomfort the first time they have anal sex, but this is often related to not being relaxed," says Lilla "Breathe so you can relax your pelvic floor and any tension you might be feeling."

Use lots (and lots) of lube
Experts can't stress enough the importance of using plenty of lubricant. "The rectum doesn't have its own self-lubricating ability," explains Sherry A. Ross, MD, author of She-ology: The Definitive Guide to Women's Intimate Health. Period. Since water-based lubes tend to break down quicker and there's no natural moisture in the rectum, it's crucial to use a thicker, silicone-based lube so tearing doesn't occur. Even tiny tears in the anal area can allow bacteria and viruses into your system, potentially leading to infection.
STDs are a real threat
Speaking of infection, anal sex can spread the same STDs you can pick up from vaginal sex. Except this time the infection is in your rectum, where your gyno won't know to test you. "People think you can't get HPV, herpes, syphilis, and even hepatitis A and B," says Dr. Ross. "You can still get all those STDs from anal sex, which is why it's important to stay protected."
That means using lots of lubricant to prevent tearing, and always using a condom unless you know for sure (like really for sure) that your partner is STD-free. And it bears repeating: Anal sex is the riskiest type of sex when it comes to transmitting HIV, according to the CDC.

Your bowels could be affected
"This question gets asked the most: will I poop everywhere?" says Dr. Ross, adding that it's hard to give an answer, since it depends on so many factors, including when you last went number two. But in general, anal sex could put added stress on the anal sphincter muscle, and that could "prevent you from having a bowel movement on your own terms or a normal consistency to your bowel movements," she adds. To reduce the likelihood of this happening, go slow, hit the bathroom first, and ask your partner not to go too deep.

It's not weird to actually enjoy it
One of the most toxic myths about anal sex is that it makes you a "dirty" person, says Dr. Ross. "We're moving into another phase of expression that this can just be part of the normal sexual experience; it doesn't have to have this horrible taboo attached to it," she says. If you find that you like it, don't get caught up in the outdated stigma or what other people think. The rules about how women are expressing themselves in the bedroom have and will keep evolving.

For all of the many great restaurants in Vancouver, there are only a few that I would use my valuable time for a return visit (or visits). One of which is Tuc Craft Kitchen on the edge of Gastown. This little spot gets pretty favourable reviews and has many loyal customers. The reason why? It's actually really simple - they produce delicious food. Yes, it is true. There are plenty of restaurants in town that focus far too much on style and social media hype and do not put enough effort into their menu. At Tuc, their ever-changing offerings speak for themselves without the need of stupid gimmicks. I was recently invited to their Summer menu launch and there was no need to ask twice!
To start things off, I tried their Turmeric Margherita with Hornitos reprosada tequila, Pierre Ferrand dry curacao, orange juice, turmeric and lime. Loved the colour and bright flavours which was perfect for a warm day. It was refreshing with just a hint of bitterness from the turmeric and plenty of zing from the citrus. This was a dangerous beverage as I could've downed many of these easily. Our first small bite was the Vegan Rarebit based on the traditional Welsh dish. This one sported rye bread topped with roasted veggies, caramelized onions and smoked onion sauce on top. Despite the amount of wet ingredients, the bread was crunchy and stayed firm. I found the roasted veggies fully cooked, but still retained a bite. The sauce on top was slightly sweet with a touch of acidity.
The best starter by far was their popular Crispy Bacon & Egg which is an interpretation of a Scotch egg (being relatively lighter without the use of sausage). As evidenced in the picture, the egg was as perfect as one would hope for being a beautiful free-range orange and runny. Of course some preparations would have it fully cooked, but c'mon, this was sexier and not rubbery. On the outside, the bacon was meaty and lightly crispy as with the thin layer of tempura batter. Another English-inspired little bite was the Boudin Noir featuring blood sausage wrapped in crispy pastry. I found the flaky pastry to be very buttery while the boudin was soft and not especially heavy. I found it rather airy with some richness and aromaticness.
Moving onto the tasting, we began with the Steelhead Ceviche & Chicharron with citrus cured Lois Lake steelhead atop puffed pork rinds and carrot ginger puree. Exhibiting a balanced acidity and hits of lemon lime, the buttery steelhead's sweetness was able to come through. The smooth puree added more sweetness as well as a sharp spiciness. Aromatic and crispy, the chicharron exhibited an almost egg-like essence and aroma. From light over to meaty, we were presented with the Lamb Dukkah on top of white bean hummus and Moroccan relish finished off with sesame & chickpea dust. I found the lamb patty to be juicy and tender with an appealing bounce texture where the spices were apparent, in particular the cumin. The spicy and tart relish featuring jalapeno and mint was a nice compliment to the lamb while the firm spicy carrots were tasty on their own.
Next up was the Seafood Tamarind Bisque featuring Salt Spring mussels, white prawn and snapper in a chili tamarind broth with Thai basil and local veggies. The bisque was rather brothy and tart with the aromatics from shrimp paste and brininess from the seafood. There was a background spiciness that didn't overwhelm the delicate seafood including the meaty shrimp, flaky fish and briny buttery mussels. Although wilted, the veggies retained their texture and crunch which was a nice textural contrast. Alternating between light and heavy, we went back to the decadent with the Crispy Pork Curado sporting a Gelderman Farms braised pork shank, roasted corn, charred tomatillo verde, celeriac slaw and local greens. This was a site to behold with a beautifully crispy pork shank where the fat underneath was buttery and gelatinous. Beyond that, the meat was tender, moist and also gelatinous. The sweetness of caramelized roasted corn broke up the heaviness while the slightly tart and mildly spicy tomatillo added brightness as well as the crunchy slaw.
Since we were alternating back and forth between seafood and meat, it was fitting that our final dish featured both in the Surf & Turf. This was an interesting interpretation with miso-cured tri-tip steak, tempura soft shell crab, confit sweet potato and miso foam. Ever-so-lightly battered, the soft shell crab was crispy on the outside while still moist and soft on the inside. It was sweet and of course exhibited the classic crab essence. I thought the steak itself was tender bordering on chewy. With that being said, it was cooked nicely medium-rare and wasn't hard to eat. It was lightly salty from the miso, but not overly so. For dessert, we were served the Chilled Chocolate Fondue with fernet-infused chocolate Anglaise, marshmallow and honeycomb toffee. This was pretty sweet due to the combination of ingredients. So if you have a sweet-tooth, this would definitely be up your alley. The whole thing was smooth and chocolatey while the honeycomb added a sweet caramelized smoky crunch. Like clockwork, the dishes from the Summer menu at Tuc were solid and executed properly. I've never had a bad meal here and this was no exception.
- Not much to complain about. Only thing was the slightly chewy steak.


DNS (Domain Name System), is the service which translates between Internet names and Internet addresses. DNS points a domain name to Server where website data exists. DNS are resolved on IP address of the Server machine. So when a user write domain on browser, then DNS automatically redirects user to server, where website data exists. There are number or records exists in DNS record, like A, AAAA, MX, TXT records and etc. The DNS Check in Whoisping.com Tools will check your DNS health and help you find errors, and verify that you domain name has been set up correctly. The DNS check will automatically find out which DNS servers are used by the domain name you specify, then perform a number of tests on them to make sure that the domain name is properly set up and that those DNS servers are responding in a consistent and correct manner.

Q: Does there exist a general technique for solving systems of multivariable linear congruences I'm aware for coprime moduli we have the CRT for solving the problem
$$ \begin{matrix} a_0 x \equiv b_0 \mod m_0 \\ a_1 x \equiv b_1 \mod m_1 \\ \vdots \\ a_n x \equiv b_n \mod m_n  \end{matrix} $$
And if we relax the "coprime" condition, we still have a general technique of substitution, at our disposal.
But now i'm curious, what about the general problem of finding classes of $x_0 ... x_k$ such that:
$$ \begin{matrix} a_{00}x_0 + a_{01} x_1 + ... a_{0k} x_k  \equiv b_0 \mod m_0 \\ a_{10} x_0 + a_{11} x_1 + ... a_{1k} x_k  \equiv b_1 \mod m_1 \\ \vdots \\ a_{n0} x_0+ a_{n1} x_1 + ... a_{nk} x_k  \equiv b_n \mod m_n  \end{matrix} $$
Does there exist a general algorithm for this, akin to substitution from earlier?

A: Sure, the keyword is "multivariable Chinese remainder theorem." A nice exposition can be found here. The general theorem states that if all mods $m_i$ are relatively prime and each row $i$ has an $a_{ij}$ that is relatively prime to $m_i$, then there's going to be at least one solution. The mechanical way of solving the system can be done by row reduction, except in a few special cases. The idea is pretty straightforward: reduce each system to a problem that can be solved by CRT.

In this thesis, a new practical method to realize one-time pad perfect secrecy for wireless communication is presented. Most commonly used security methods are based on cryp- tographic techniques employed at the upper layers of a wireless network. These methods basically rely on the computational hardness of some mathematical problems. This com- putational complexity is vulnerable in nature due to fast-growing computational power of hardware technology, yet not taking into account the revolution of Quantum computing in further future. Another core problematic issue exists in symmetric security systems; there is a deadlock between securing the channel and establishing the shared key. We need the key for securing the channel, on the other hand, for sharing the key we need a secure channel. To address such vulnerabilities, Physical Layer Security (PLS) has been widely studied in recent years. PLS schemes build on the idea of turning unpredictable and random wire- less channel characteristics into a source for information-theoretic security. Information- theoretic security itself, relies on Shannon's pioneer work . Shannon, inspired by one-time pad, also known as Vernam cipher, theoretically showed that the only unconditional per- fect secrecy system is a one-time pad with a key at least as random as the plaintext, i.e., a system that uses a different random key to cipher any new plaintext. In PLS key genera- tion methods, legitimate parties alternately send probe signals and estimate Channel State Information (CSI) of common random channel and then convert enough amount of these estimates to secure shared keys. To achieve perfect secrecy, the key generation methods must meet the key randomness and Key Generation Rate (KGR) requirements of their specific cryptographic applications. In this research a new practical system for achieving unconditional perfect secrecy is presented. Our system uses channel phase as the probing parameter to fully benefit from its uniform distribution over [0, 2π]. It also uses an encryption method based on modulo- 2π addition of phase values which is the perfect counterpart of XOR addition in binary one-time pad. Moreover, by intentionally perturbing the wireless channel in vicinity of the transceiver antenna based on RF-mirrors structure, it produces different random phase values in each channel probing, much faster than the inherent channel variation would do, resulting in dramatically higher KGR than any wide-band PLS scheme presented so far and realizing true perfect secrecy. Most importantly, the focus of this research is a detailed practical algorithm for implementing the system as well as empirical results which makes our system the first channel-phase-based PLS scheme implementation, reported so far.

When I visit New Zealand, one of the first things I do is go to the beach. Priority number one: a swim. Priority number two: an ice cream. But not just any ice cream. The flavour was invented in New Zealand and has been my favourite for as long as I can remember: hokey pokey. What a name! It sounds like something Mary Poppins would offer you, something fun with a touch of magic, like a circus artist doing a somersault (ifml.)Purzelbaumsomersault. This most delicious of all ice creams is plain vanilla dotted with chunkStückchunks of honeycombHonigwabehoneycomb. Honeycomb in this case is basically sugar that is heated up until golden and then left to harden into crunchy balls that are full of — and surrounded by — a sugary syrup that looks like honey.
The more golden bits, the better. But to be honest, a New Zealand beach is only the second best place to enjoy it. The best is my grandparents' balcony in Auckland, with a view across the sea to Rangitoto Island. If you ask my grandma nicely, she might even add a generous portion of walnuts and chocolate sauce.
