Hi there, I am new to RNA_seq and to Bioinformatics and I would greatly appreciate if someone could help me out a little with the analysis of some of my RNA_seq data.
So I am analyzing RNA_seq data from Bacteria using Galaxy - RNA was isolated from wild type bacteria and from a mutant bacteria. RNA was sequenced using Illumina NextSeq 500 system.
So the first thing I did when given the RNA_seq data was to perform a quality check on the RNA_seq data which was in the form of FastQ files. I performed the quality check using ''FastQC'', after a quality check I found that the reads were of very good quality so I proceeded with mapping of the reads back onto the bacterial reference genome. For this I used ''Bowtie2'' - I allowed Bowtie to perform soft clipping during the mapping step.
I then obtained a BAM file from the mapping stage - I used the ''BamCoverage'' Tool to change the Bam files into BigWig files. I then used ''IGV'' to visualize the mapping of my reads onto the reference genome. You can see this in the picture I attached to this question
- In the picture you can see ''Wild Type'' forward and reverse files and also ''Mutant'' forward and reverse files. At the bottom of the picture you can see the Gene / Genes that the reads are mapping to. You can see in the picture that there are many reads from the Mutant forward file mapping to the gene ''NWMN_RS14115'' which is a gene that is on the forward strand.
My question is : Why are there Big blocks of reads mapping in and around the ends of the gene and less reads mapping to the middle of the gene? Shouldn't all the reads be falling evenly within the confines of the gene? Why are the reads mappingso unevenly - especially at the ends of the gene?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

- Over 60 young girls encouraged to take up STEM subjects and soar the skies with acareer in aviation
career opportunities in related industries, the initiative is aimed at showcasing opportunities in the aviation and aerospace sectors. This initiative also aligns with the Government of India's Skills India initiative.
As part of the program, Women in Aviation International (India Chapter) invited 60 students from various schools for a tour of Goa Airport. Visiting students were given an opportunity to explore, learn, and discover the various aspects of and roles in aviation and aerospace such as air traffic controller, airline dispatch, pilot, aviation maintenance technician, aeronautical engineer or aviation management. In addition, the girl students were given a tour of the ATC Tower, Airside, Terminal Building and AOCC and all their queries and questions were answered by the officials working in the respective departments.
Speaking on the occasion, Mrs. Radha Bhatia, President, Women in Aviation International (India Chapter) shared," This is the third year that the WAI India Chapter is celebrating 'Girls in Aviation Day' and we are delighted to host the same at Goa. This day is celebrated for the young girls to encourage them to choose aviation as a viable career opportunity. World over India has the maximum number of female pilots but there are many other avenues within aviation that are still unknown. With this celebration our aim is to see girls from the state of Goa explore exciting careers available to them as engineers, air traffic controllersand dozens of other jobs within aviation."
"We will continue our endeavour to introduce young girls to role models and educate them in a fun and supportive atmosphere. We are very fortunate to be able to partner with Lockheed Martin India and Airport Authority of India for this event. Their efforts in leading youth into STEM careers is truly commendable." added Mrs. Bhatia.
Speaking about Lockheed Martin's commitment to this initiative, Mr. Phil Shaw, Chief Executive, Lockheed Martin India Private Limited said, "Lockheed Martin is delighted to support the Girls in Aviation Day initiative and see it grow from strength to strength. We are passionate about encouraging young ladies to broaden their horizons and consider pursuing an education in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and consequently, careers in aerospace and technology. Lockheed Martin views education as a crucial investment for both business and society, and looks forward to helping develop the next generation of engineers, explorers and scientists in India.
Post the airport tour, the students were given a presentation about the industry and its intricacies. Also, an impromptu quiz competition added to the delight of the students who won small tokens as prizes. Students were given an opportunity to interact with Ms. Mridula Sinha, Governor of Goa and chief guest for the event as well as Mrs. Radha Bhatia, President Women in Aviation International (India Chapter), Mr. BCH Negi, Airport Director, Goa Airport, Mr. Phil Shaw, Chief Executive, Lockheed Martin India. Students also interacted with several other founding members from Women in Aviation International (India Chapter).
Since its inception in 2015, Women in Aviation International (India Chapter) has reached out to over 1500 young girls to encourage them to undertake STEM subjects and explore career opportunities in aviation related industries.

The Day the Eastland Sank While Docked Killing 850
When the S.S. Eastland sank in the Chicago River on July 24, 1915, it was still tied to the dock. Reports of the events recount the distance from which one could hear the screaming.
The crew had just loaded the Eastland for a day trip across Lake Michigan. Instead, they (those who survived) would spend the day pulling some 850 bodies from the water.
Only three years after the sinking of the Titanic, the Eastland disaster took more lives in less time. Unlike the Titanic disaster, this didn't take place out at sea in freezing water. Most of the passengers were not far from their homes.
It was one of the greatest inland waterway tragedies, if not the most heinous on record.
What's worse, it was avoidable.
Lifeboats for all
When the Titanic went down, it was a slow process. Of those who died, it was a matter of freezing cold water, panic, and more importantly, not enough lifeboats.
At the time, they knew Titanic was shy of enough lifeboats. She was unsinkable, though. That was how they sold her. Then, she sank.
The usual response from lawmakers was (still is?) to overreact. If people died on one ship because there weren't enough lifeboats for every passenger, then by heck, every boat would have enough going forward.
Herein we find a good example of folly in bureaucracy. Not every boat was fit for that many lifeboats.
At the turn of the century, lifeboats were not the inflatable deals we have today. Adding to that, ship building techniques were expanding fast. Variances in designs created anomalies, like the high center of gravity found in the Eastland.
When lifeboats-for-all the bill came to the table, those who knew better warned that some shallow draft boats would "turn turtle," meaning they would roll over from too much top weight.
The S.S. Eastland
Built in 1902, the Eastland would carry 500 people on Lake Michigan. It had no keel, which was not out of the ordinary. This was a lake boat, not an ocean liner.
Adding to the instability, Eastland was top-heavy. That wasn't a big deal in 1902. They righted her with ballasts, which filled with water. In general, as was said of the ship at that time, Eastland ran steadily once she was underway.
"It was said of her that she behaved like a bicycle," wrote George W. Hilton, transportation historian, and economist. "…unstable when loading or unloading but stable when under way."
That day in 1915 wasn't the first time Eastland threatened to turn turtle. Once, in 1904, she listed hard with 3,000 aboard. (Yes, 2,500 over capacity.) In 1906, the same thing happened with 2,530 passengers aboard.
Then, in March 1915, President Wilson signed into action the bill about lifeboats. All boats would carry enough lifeboats to save at least 75 percent of the passengers.
That Day
It was early, like 7:00 in the morning. The crew was to load up Eastland with about 2,500 passengers.
The Eastland, along with several other boats, was to cart 7,000 of the employees of the Western Electric Company's Hawthorne Works factory to the southeast corner of Lake Michigan.
Eastland took the first of the passengers, between 7:00 am and 7:18, they loaded them with the last of the crew, then pulled up the gangplanks. They'd planned to be underway in a moment.
That day there was a drizzle, so many headed below deck to get out of the rain, especially families with children. Some passengers lingered on the top deck. Nobody, it seemed, noticed the ship listing away from the dock, to the port side of the boat.
By 7:23, the water began pouring into the engine room it was listing so badly. The crew, no strangers to this hoodoo boat, scurried up to safety.
Five minutes later, the boat listed so hard, a piano rolled across the floor of one deck and heavy items like refrigerators began falling over. Water streamed into every porthole.
Passengers on the top deck flung into the water, which was a nasty river back then. Parents and children screamed as heads went under and didn't come back up.
By 7:30, Eastland had done as foretold, turned turtle. In 20 feet of water, it lay on its side.
The actual headcount was 844 dead, 15 more than Titanic, most under age 25. Even the Lusitania, sunk by torpedoes weeks before on the open ocean, lost only 785.
The people of Chicago woke that day to either screams or the terrible news of the tragedy. Lawsuits and liability claims would drag into the 1930s, some longer than the lives of the people accountable.
Beyond the loss of life, the insanity of this tragedy makes it one of the worst maritime disasters in history.
The only that came of it was that regulation of ship stabilization transferred to a new department, the Bureau of Marine Inspection and Navigation. In time, all maritime laws fell under the management of the U.S. Coast Guard. These organizations were better equipped to manage decision-making based on data, not emotion.

Hello everyone! Here is a poem I've been working on for a few weeks, right before New Years on the 29th, and just finished right before midnight on Sunday.
Writing this poem was a roller coaster. I started it then planned to post it on New year's Eve, then decided against it. Then I tried to finish it but it was a lot harder than I expected. I felt like I had to get everything right, and I ended up changing the rhyme words several times throughout. I kept changing little things until I decided to settle with myself, and say "no poem can be 100% perfect". And after 2 weeks, there became what you see below.
I hope you enjoy as I worked really hard on it. I think this is a good one and it's one that I'll look back on a lot for the effort it took.
Quiet world, wake up and give way to me
My quietness has done harm and shaken
Asleep in that which yet hasn't taken
Laying in a place where my mind's set free
Whence is where my life's work has come to be
A dream from which I shall not awaken
Lucid, a notion to be mistaken
For what's in that place is a sight to see
Weary remains the feet across my path
Bramble-laden with a rose at the end
I, resilient and tenfold bettered
Shall still persist through pinnacle or strath
And shall all else become untimely rend
The dream rose will still remain unfettered

Afghan Taliban militants storm a prison in the central city of Ghazni, killing police officers and releasing more than 350 inmates.
At least four police officers were killed during the raid and the Taliban confirmed it carried out the early morning attack in the city of Ghazni.
Taliban spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid said a group of 10 Taliban bombers raided the prison and attacked troops before releasing around 400 inmates.
He said the bombers started the attack on jail and the nearby military base with the help of scores of other fighters.
"The successful operation started at 2 am and continued for few hours. The Mujahideen took control of the whole prison and the Mujahideen killed many soldiers and jail guards," he said in a Pashto-language statement sent to Channel 4 News.
"We freed 400 oppressed countrymen as the result of the attack. The inmates had been subjected to severe torture and brutality. The Mujahideen have returned to their areas," the Taliban spokesman continued.
The deputy provincial governor of Ghazni province Mohammad Ali Ahmadi condemned the attack. He said one militant blew himself up at the prison gates, allowing others to force open jail cells. Car bombs and rockets were also used to open the gates.
Mr Ahmadi said the Taliban fighters were wearing military uniform and seven of them were killed, in addition to four members of the security forces.
About 80 prisoners have been recaptured, however 352 are still on the run, including 150 Taliban.
The militant group has previously carried out major attacks on prisons to free inmates. In 2011, the Taliban attacked Kandahar prison and freed 500 prisoners.

text: Hi guys, I have a 2 year old MBK and for the past month and a bit, he has been refusing food. Hes just not interested at all. He had been moved up to rats before this problem after being on extra large mice for around 3 months or so. He ate the rats the first three times...once a week without an issue but then has since stopped completely. I've tried scenting the rat with its brain matter, obviously wiggling it, leaving the rat in his vivarium overnight...they have just been going to waste. I've also tried offering him both smaller sized rats as well as smaller mice...even pinkies but again, nothing. Over the last few weeks, I've been offering the food each week but should I refrain from this and offer him every two weeks instead to preven waste? I don't really know what to do. He hasn't shed in a while and doesn't look like he's lost any weight. He's still as active as ever and handles well though. Is it time for a vet visit? Thanks

(REUTERS) — Turkey under President Tayyip Erdogan has turned its back on joining the European Union, at least for now, the bloc's top official dealing with Ankara said, offering economic cooperation instead if both sides can restore friendly ties.
After years of stalemate on Turkey's bid to join the world's biggest trading bloc, EU governments say the process is dead, citing Erdogan's crackdown on dissidents, his 'Nazi' jibes at Germany and a referendum giving him sweeping new powers that a rights group says lack checks and balances.
"Everybody's clear that, currently at least, Turkey is moving away from a European perspective," European Commissioner Johannes Hahn, who oversees EU membership bids, told Reuters.

Dell and Dell EMC are making strong headway against the commitments they announced at last year's Global Partner Summit, and reaping measurable benefits as a result, according to channel chief Joyce Mullen.
The proof? Partners generated some $50 billion in orders during the hardware maker's last fiscal year, and landed 63,200 net new and reactivated customers. They raised Dell's net promoter score 10 points to 69 as well.
"It's not often you get to see years like this, and this has been a fun one," says Mullen, whose official title is president of global channel, OEM, and IoT Solutions for Dell EMC. She spoke with ChannelPro approximately three months after Dell became a publicly listed company again, roughly one month after it reported results for its first post-IPO quarter, and a little less than one month before its 2019 Global Partner Summit.
Mullen credits Dell's channel momentum to progress the company has made on the three strategic initiatives it outlined at last year's partner conference and discussed with ChannelPro more recently. The first of those—making Dell an easier vendor to do business with—got the lion's share of the company's attention in 2018. In particular, according to Mullen, the company dramatically accelerated rebate payments, shortened approval times on sales quotes, turning 80 percent of quotes around within four hours, and improved both the speed and accuracy of deal registrations.
"We wanted to get to a 95 percent accuracy rate on deal registration, and we're there," Mullen says, adding that Dell approved nearly 500,000 deals in its 2019 fiscal year, which ended February 1st.
Dell also simplified its partner training resources in 2018 and doled out 43 percent more certifications. Over 5,100 partners globally participated in educational programs last year, a 27 percent increase.
"Partners are engaged, learning, driving deal registrations, and getting smarter about the offers and the solution sets that we can jointly deliver to customers," Mullen says.
In 2019, she continues, Dell will turn more of its attention to the other two partner-related strategic goals it introduced last year: helping partners sell more products and services from the extended family of Dell brands, including VMware, Pivotal, and Secureworks, and enabling partners to get in on mushrooming opportunities in next-generation technologies like artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things.
Mullen hinted, without providing details, that efforts to encourage cross-selling across the Dell Technologies portfolio will revolve around forthcoming enhancements to the Dell Technologies Advantage framework. Introduced at last year's partner summit, that offering complements Dell's core partner program with additional capabilities, resources, and incentives.
According to Mullen, helping partners build products from a wider array of Dell units into their solutions benefits Dell and its channel alike. Indeed, internal sales data indicates that partners who promote three Dell lines generate 11 times as much revenue as those offering two and 29 times as much as partners offering one.
"The broader-based partners overall sell more [and] grow more," Mullen notes.

Venture capital investment is booming in Southeast Asia, boding well for the region's start-ups. And there is greater scope for collaboration between businesses in the region and in Japan to make innovation happen.
That was the message at the ASEAN–Japan Open Innovation Forum in Tokyo on April 7, as speakers ranging from start-up founders to a venture capitalist to media experts discussed the latest developments in a market that is just picking up steam.
"Risk money is steadily gathering in Southeast Asia," said Takahiro Suzuki, the Jakarta head of Japan's CyberAgent Ventures, which is an investor in Indonesia's Tokopedia, an online marketplace. According to data cited by Suzuki, total venture capital investment in Southeast Asia reached $2.6 billion in 2016, about 60 percent more than the previous year.
Suzuki said more than 20 companies in the region had raised at least $10 million since October 2015, including Indonesia's popular ride-hailing app Go-Jek, which is growing fast by helping people navigate Jakarta's notorious traffic jams.
He noted that more start-ups are also seeking an exit. Global companies, including Chinese tech giants Alibaba Group Holding and Tencent Holdings, are the big start-up buyers in the region, he said.
Speakers said Southeast Asian start-ups are attracting funds because emerging economies have different business opportunities than those of developed nations. Lagging economic development and rising social problems open the door to solutions driven by information technology. Because most people in the region don't have bank accounts or credit cards, fintech businesses—including digital money and mobile payment systems—may take off. "Integrating IT into existing industries could proceed at a faster pace than in Japan," Suzuki said.
David Corbin, the Japan head of Tech in Asia, an online news service that focuses on start-ups, said Thailand's Ookbee and Malaysia's iflix are successfully raising capital. These two start-ups provide online media content, such as digital magazines and on-demand video.
The Tokyo forum, which drew about 700 people, was sponsored by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, the Japan External Trade Organization, and two other organizations. Its goal was to promote collaboration between ASEAN start-ups and Japanese companies.
To that end, at the beginning of the meeting, the ASEAN Business Club, a group of leading companies in Southeast Asia, signed a memorandum of cooperation with nine Japanese business associations to form the ASEAN–Japan Innovation Network. The alliance hopes to nurture industries and facilitate collaboration through networking and research. It also plans to host trade fairs and support government bodies with educational and technical exchanges.
The alliance is a response to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's call last September at a meeting in Laos for stronger economic links between ASEAN and Japan. He hopes to see supply chains strengthened and more Japanese technology used in new industries.
Speaking at the forum, Apiradi Tantraporn, Thailand's minister of commerce, said the signing of the memorandum was "an excellent starting point to exchange information, to explore common interests, to propel innovation and [to] facilitate the private sector for further business collaboration and create new business and new industries between ASEAN and Japan."
JETRO Chairman Hiroyuki Ishige stressed in his remarks that technological innovation in new business areas is important for ASEAN's long-term growth. "Japan's previous experience in overcoming problems, and the country's technological expertise, will help [with] this," he said.

My Skin is So Soft! I noticed when I began using the Radiant Glow Microfoliant, my skin has become ultra soft. After I remove the Radiant Glow Microfoliant I apply the Clarifying Facial Mist, and then Dr. Kaplan's Cellular Rejuvenating Concentrate. Words can't describe the way my skin feels after. I'm in love!

One of the most obvious and easiest dating tips that you can implement straight away is…
For Christs sake do what you love every day! Life is to short to not enjoy at least some part of every day – why do you get up in the first place?
It astounds me how many people DONT do what they love – your personality and love lives suffer big time.
Your health and attitude towards life takes a dive and you end up second guessing their motives and decisions. Every part of you will suffer if you end up in a place in your life that you despise – especially if one simple decision is all it takes to change it.
You have the choice of WHERE to meet women – and how crucial it is.
People ask me – Where is the best place to meet women?
The best place to meet women is where you feel most happy and confident.
Women are everywhere man – it's pretty much a 50:50 split so your going to bump into a hottie eventually. Check out the video by david wygant
I mean if all your interested in doing is finding sex with no effort then maybe the best thing for you is to use a casual dating site. But the reality is that you want a women for much more than just intimacy. You want a soul-mate and a friend and an activity partner… someone to laugh and cry and live your life with.
You have to meet women in an environment that matches your personality. This should be closely tied into what you love doing… Orthough the classic dating advice is always "dont screw the crew" the truth is that there are plenty of great women at work that have similar interests. If you company is large enough then it need not get awkward if things dont work out.
I mean where else do you find a budding lawyer who is of similar age? There are just not that many around… So going to law conventions and talks are great ways for you to not only show high value in your area of expertise but to find an ideal partner.
If you are into V8 motor cars and hard liquor then law conventions or pottery class should be crossed off the list. This sounds obvious but people just dont THINK about this stuff…
An example would be TOWN – and BARS… Do you drink? Do you like club music?
If you answered NO NO or even YES NO You shouldn't go to town to meet women… The atmosphere is going to get you on a major downer.
You shouldn't go to town just because that's where women are. As I said earlier women are everywhere! It's not the presnce of women that is the problem here… YOU are the problem – your energy your enthusiam and your conversation skills are the problem here.
If you are in an environment that you love all of the vital stuff is taken care of… It's closely related to zen dating advice.

Well, I just received my Press Schedule for ABC's Super Soap Weekend, which takes place this weekend at the Disney/MGM Studios. More than 30 stars from the ABC soaps will be there, with plenty of opportunities for fans to get up-close and personal with their favorite actors. I can't wait!
In the meantime, I've been working in overdrive getting myself prepared for my various interviews that I have lined up, as well as a jam-packed schedule at the theme park. (So, if my blog posting is a little light this week, that is why.)
But never fear -- faithful readers of our Daytime Dial Web site will be getting exclusive news, and, even better, exclusive pics, of all the goings-on this weekend. I will be interviewing Susan Lucci, Erika Slezak, Laura Wright, Kassie DePaiva and Rebecca Herbst, and will be riding in a motorcade with Alicia Minshew! Plus, lots more!
I am especially excited about the Saturday night "Party With the Stars" dinner that I have been invited to. All the stars, executives and press will be attending this exclusive party. I'll be taking plenty of pictures and getting lots of first-hand scoop to share with all of you.
Shoot me an e-mail (email@example.com), or respond in the comments section of this post, if you have any questions you'd like for me to ask any of the stars I named above. If appropriate, I'll try to fit them into my interviews.

How to use the Timeline section in Thrive Ultimatum
The Timeline section in Thrive Ultimatum allows you to display different designs or states depending on how much time is left in the campaign.
Once you add your first design to your campaign, it will automatically show up in the timeline.
This would be enough to run the campaign, but the timeline gives you the chance to display a different message if, for example, there's only one day left.
To do this, we will create a new state in our design. The built and use of states is similar to the one in Thrive Leads. You can learn more about states and how they work in this article.
Then go to the Timeline section and add a new event
In the window that opens, choose the trigger for the campaign (1), check the display box (2) and select the state that should be displayed (3):
Click "SAVE TIMELINE EVENT" and your new event will display on the timeline.
You can set multiple events on the timeline. You can also display more than one design in an event. For this, first, you need to edit the event.
Second, you need to add a new design option to it:
In this case, when the campaign starts the Top Ribbon's main state will display. When there's only one day left, the Top Ribbon's "1 day left" state will start displaying. In addition, the widget (its "1 day left" state) will show up.

Teamtraining is a Teambuilding that offers more. By analyzing the dynamics among your colleagues on the basis of a fun teambuilding activity, we can jointly assess how progress can be made. It's all about being able to truly efficiently and effectively train your people. Teamtraining does away with the concept of merely doing a fun teambuilding activity together.

Fun for the participants, informative for the company!
Teamtraining takes the dynamics between your people as the starting point. We capture a snapshot of your team and together explore how we can improve its performance. During the teambuilding activity, via iPads we observe the behaviour, communication and relationships between the participants. These observations form the basis for a certified coach to draw up a targeted and practical learning plan for you. Agile Leadership, Team Cohesion, Ready for Change, Team Communication and Well Being are some of the topics that we can develop for you. Teamtraining is a four-stage process: an intake meeting, an observation, a fun teambuilding activity with coaching and an extensive debriefing. Teamtraining is suitable for small groups, but can certainly also be adapted for large teams of over 100 people! Teamtraining can take place at the location of your choice. We will find a suitable venue in your area, or arrange to set up at your company.

In the early 17th century, wigs were simply part of the fashion of the day for society. Although they had gone out of fashion by the 18th century, judges, the military, the clergy and some other professionals continued to wear smaller, more formal wigs into the 19th century, and they have been retained as part of court dress to the present day.
Today, wigs are worn as a symbol of office by the legal professions. The traditional, long full-bottomed wig is now only worn by judges on ceremonial occasions such as during the procession to mark the start of the legal year (called the "kirking of the court"). A shorter, more practical style is worn in court. However, not all judges wear wigs. They are not worn in Justice of the Peace courts, tribunals, or in some proceedings involving children.
The wigs are made from horsehair from the tail or mane, which in the past made wigs more practical as it could have the same off-white colour as a powdered wig without the need for powder.

When bacteria get to the root of your cat's teeth
Many a cat is brought to the veterinary office because of a sudden swelling under one of their eyes, possibly accompanied by a decrease in their energy level and appetite.
Though it's not always the case, these swellings are often the result of a tooth root abscess — an infection that occurs at the base of the tooth, under the gumline.
A tooth root abscess is easily confirmed on dental x-rays. An abscess happens when bacteria gain access to the deeper structures of the tooth, where the local environment can be ideal for bacterial growth. The infection causes inflammation and starts to erode the tooth structures.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (CBS4) – Stephen Martin, owner of Prime Time Sports sporting goods store in Colorado Springs, stands by his decision to choose principle over profit. Earlier this week Martin announced he was closing the sporting goods store due, in part, to lagging sales following his boycott of Nike products. Martin decided to stop selling Nike products after a 2018 advertisement featuring former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
"This was never about property to me, this was about principle," Martin, owner of Prime Time Sports, said Wednesday night while he was preparing to shut down his store.
"I ditched all NIKE back in the summer over the Kaepernick ad and I have less than a bag full of their disrespectable stuff left," Martin wrote on Facebook on Wednesday.
Kaepernick started kneeling during the National Anthem before NFL games in 2016, sparking a movement among other players, including Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall.
The ad said: "Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything."
The words "sacrificing everything" stood out to Martin. And he decided he needed to take a stand against Nike. Martin decided to sell all of his Nike product at highly-discounted prices.
Five months later, Martin announced he would be closing the store.
"Being a sports store and not having Nike jerseys is kind of like being a milk store without milk or a gas station without gas. They have a virtual monopoly on jerseys. There is no other option," Martin told the CBS affiliate in Colorado Springs, KKTV.
Martin said the boycott was about principle over profit and even though the lost revenue played a role in his decision to close the store he was absolutely glad he did it.
The move made headlines across the country and sparked lots of discussion online.
"I spent 30+ years in the Army Reserves (no combat) and am 90% disabled with the VA (70% w/Military). As a honorably medically discharged Veteran I thank you for supporting the military and the Flag!" one person commented on Martin's post.
"Actions have consequences. You let your hate and blindness lead you to failure," another wrote.
Multiple comments were crass and crude and filled with expletives.
Martin seemed to focus on the supportive messages and responded to one, "Your comment was soul rewarding."

Russian pianist Anatoly Sheludyakov is the soloist in Stravinsky's Concerto for Piano and Wind Instruments…a neo-classical work with romantic weight, percussive inflections, and splashes of ragtime…D Ray McClellen appears on Juilliard composer Wayne Oquin's Tower Ascending…a soaring portrait of construction in New York City…soprano Ellen Ritchey sings University of Missouri Kansas City professor James Mobberley's intensely elegiac Words of Love…for voice and winds.
The performances are confident and prepared. The soloists meet the challenges of the scores, and the wind ensemble boasts several very good players. The Oquin and Lorenz have colorful scoring, and the Mobberley is justly affecting… © 2012 American Record Guide
The programme of this excellent disc showcasing an outstandingly fine American student wind band has been carefully thought out. The booklet could serve as a model to others. The recording is rich, clear, and immediate to the point that the clicking of the brass instruments' valves can be heard in places.
The first piece on the disc is Tower Ascending by Wayne Oquin…the piece is brilliantly written for the medium, contains many very beautiful sounds and comes to a most satisfyingly noisy conclusion.
Street Song…is in three linked sections, the first of which is rather like Hindemith with a strong dash of Americana. The second is pensive with lots of very close harmony, a feature of the work as a whole. There is a fair amount of jazz in the third section, but this is treated with great subtlety, and indeed restraint and impeccable taste are features of this impressive short work. The music of the three "songs" comes together near the end in a beautifully scored and gentle coda. The performance is remarkable….
The players clearly relish the rumbustious bustle of Vaughan Williams' Toccata Marziale, and play most sensitively the sustained notes and chords of James Mobberley's Words of Love.
Anatoly Sheludyakov is the impressive soloist in Stravinsky's Concerto for Piano and Wind Instruments, his combative style perfectly suited to the percussive nature of most of the work. He is most competently supported by the young musicians, who will surely have found the work a challenge, and very different indeed in aims and in style from the rest of the programme. The collection ends with a suitably imposing performance of Copland's celebrated Fanfare for the Common Man. © 2012 MusicWeb International Read complete review
… Street Song is another prime program under the direction of John P. Lynch. Three well known standards of wind ensemble repertoire round out Street Song; a most impressive performance of Igor Stravinsky's Concerto for Piano and Wind Instruments, Toccata Marziale (Ralph Vaughan Williams) and Aaron Copland's Fanfare for the Common Man…Street Song is definitely worth your interest. © 2012 BandWorld Read complete review
The University of Georgia Bands have released their latest album on the Naxos label. The mix of new pieces with standards is a testament to the work that John Lynch has been doing. He achieves his mission to commission and program original works for band by including Wayne Oquin's Tower Ascending. This beautiful piece in two parts is a tremendously exciting addition to the wind band repertoire, providing both a beautiful serene opening and a thrilling conclusion, and is highlighted by D. Ray McClellan's lyrical and bold solo playing. Ricardo Lorenz's El muro is a sonic tour through a variety of Latin American musical styles.
The highlight of the album is Michael Tilson Thomas' Street Song, an unexpected treat from the musician more commonly known for his work as a conductor. Not enough can be said for the beautiful, lush sound that the University brass achieves throughout the work. Producer Bradley Genevro and Engineer Bruce Leek should be commended on their masterful work of editing these three tracks in particular.
Toccata Marziale and the Stravinsky Concerto are both well played…Closing the recording with the Copland Fanfare for the Common Man is an interesting choice, and after the three preceding pieces, it is a choice that is rewarded. The power of the brass section is once again highlighted, and it brings the album to a strong finish.
Congrats to the staff, players, and engineering and production team for a fine contribution to the Naxos library and the wind band catalog! © 2012 Wind Band Today Read complete review

In American law there is a concept called 'the fruit of the poison tree' which means that if the source of some alleged evidence is rotten, or has been wrongfully obtained, then everything coming from it is also recognised as tainted. After this past week I would suggest a similar concept enters the lexicon in British journalism. Perhaps we might call it 'the fruit of the Eaton mess'.
I refer of course to the 'interview' with Sir Roger Scruton that George Eaton – deputy editor of the New Statesman – published last week. The interview led not only to Scruton's firing from an unpaid government-appointed position, but to a set of excruciatingly inaccurate pieces in the rest of the media. These pieces rested not even on the contents of Eaton's piece, let alone the actual conversations (the tape of which the Statesman still refuses to make public) but on the Twitter say-so of George Eaton.
For instance, here is the headline of the news piece in the Sun that relied on George Eaton's claims:
'Evicted: PM's housing guru Roger Scruton sacked after going on racist rant about Muslims and Chinese people.'
As I mentioned in my previous article, nothing that Scruton said in his interview constituted a 'rant'. Nothing he said was 'racist' about Muslims or Chinese people. Such claims rely only on Eaton misleadingly pretending that Scruton was talking about the Chinese people as a whole, when he was in fact talking about the ruling Chinese Communist party, and that when he criticised the Muslim Brotherhood he was in fact criticising all Muslims.
Then there is the Times headline in its print edition from last Thursday:
'No 10 adviser sacked over "white supremacist" views.'
To be fair to the Times in a way that they were not to their former columnist, the especially libellous claim in this headline comes from a quote from Dawn Butler MP. I have had cause to criticise Ms Butler before in this space. Not on that occasion for conjuring up facts but for her own record when it comes to taxpayers' money.
Yet the Times, it should be noted, went at it again the next day. Where other media had already begun to retreat from the New Statesman's account of things, Kate Devlin (chief political correspondent at the Times) decided to take a second bite a day later with 'Government adviser sacked for his offensive remarks stirs it up again.' This was the Times's spin on the blog that Sir Roger published here at The Spectator last week in an effort to respond to some of the libellous accusations being made against him. Among much else Scruton attempted to defend himself from claims of 'homophobia' by writing:
'Apparently I once wrote that homosexuality is 'not normal', but nobody has told me where, or why that is a particularly offensive thing to say. Red hair too is not normal, nor is decency among left-wing journalists.'
To which spin the Times in its opening paragraph of its follow-up piece wrote:
'A former government adviser has claimed that red hair is not normal and homosexuality is "not in itself a perversion" days after being sacked for other controversial comments.'
What to do when you read spin like this? Put your head in your hands? Lie down? Give up? Perhaps Kate Devlin really does think that Sir Roger – himself a redhead, as it happens (a claim she does not bother to mention) – has indeed waded into a final morass of anti-gingerism. But I suspect not. This is journalism as character-destruction. Devlin goes on to repeat the accounts of the Eaton interview, more than a day after doubts had first been cast over the journalistic accuracy of the piece. For instance she writes that:
'On China he [Scruton] said: "They're creating robots out of their own people… each Chinese person is a kind of replica of the next one and that is a very frightening thing.'
Of course by this stage the Times was reporting something which even Eaton was rowing back from. By Friday of last week (when the Times ran its second piece) Eaton had already begun to remove some of his original social media posts. Those he erased included one in which he admitted that he had edited this particular quote 'for reasons of space':
[caption id="attachment_10283302" align="alignnone" width="299"]
Fortunately for Eaton – and unfortunately for Sir Roger – the editing 'for reasons of space' happened to make Scruton say something he did not. As the great Titania McGrath put it online, mimicking George Eaton's line of self-defence:
'OMG! If you delete 85 of the letters in this Roger Scruton quote and rearrange the remaining 11, he is actually saying "I love Hitler". I'm not misquoting. I'm just editing it for reasons of space.'
Of course that is just some of the press malfeasance in this matter. More striking in many ways is the political cowardice. In recent days I have been engaging in a shy and subtle online effort to persuade the New Statesman to release the tape of the Eaton mess. To date they have not done so, I suspect because it will not show their correspondent in a good light. But perhaps this is just how portions of the left-wing media roll.
Much more striking to me is the behaviour of the Conservative party. After all, James Brokenshire fired Scruton from his unpaid advisory position having only had time to imbibe Eaton's own (subsequently partially retracted) account of the interview. Why did that shining exemplar of nominative determinism sack Scruton on the say-so of a New Statesman journalist? Did Brokenshire ask to see a transcript of the full recording? Has this weak and so easily shocked man asked the Statesman to release the tapes of the exchange? Apparently not. This is the way with the modern Conservative party. Drop the ballast and run away fast.
Such was also the tactic employed by MPs Tom Tugendhat and Johnny Mercer. When Tom Tugendhat was called by BuzzFeed to comment on Eaton's claims about his interview, Tugendhat made some generic comments criticising all forms of discrimination. BuzzFeed's reporter – the ever-astute Alex Wickham (who readers may remember has form in his ill-informed animus against Scruton) reported that Tugendhat had called for Scruton's sacking. A claim that Tugendhat subsequently denied, saying that he had been 'misled'. And so the fruit of the poisonous Eaton mess continued to spread.
Johnny Mercer, who has hitherto held himself out as a speaker of plain truths, decided that this was a 'no brainer' and that Conservatives were right not to 'take our time' over such a frivolous issue. He has subsequently tried to double-down on this stance. At the moment of writing it seems that the only person still really willing to defend the Eaton mess are people who aspire to be the next leader of the Conservative party.
Well not quite. Though Eaton himself appears to be in hiding, and has not appeared in public since publishing a half-arsed apology online, various people have tried to come to his defence. These include his fellow Statesman contributor, and erstwhile colleague – my old antagonist Mehdi Hasan. It appears that we do not have the pleasure of Mehdi's presence in the UK any more. But I notice that on Twitter he is one of those who has shown themselves to be especially exercised by Scruton's alleged (again, we have only George Eaton's word on this at the moment) use of the word 'tribes' in the phrase 'sudden invasion of huge tribes of Muslims'. On Twitter Mehdi says of this alleged line:
'There is literally no justification or context for him saying it.'
There is something so beautifully certain and dishonest about that 'literally'. If there was 'literally no justification or context' for somebody saying this line then I suppose it could be a bad thing. Except that there 'literally' is a context and a justification. Which is that it is a matter of historical record (and was recorded by many non-Qatari media observers at the time) that in 2015, at the height of the European migration crisis, somewhere in the region of 400,000 people from the Middle East and Africa walked into Hungary. A nation that is, incidentally, a country of only ten million people. So this is equivalent to Britain having more than two-and-a-half million people suddenly walk across its borders. Or to put it in US terms, almost 13 million people breaking across the borders in a single year. Which puts the southern border crisis in some perspective.
The Hungarians most certainly were concerned by this. In the end the vast columns of people were encouraged to continue their journey north into the country which had invited them. But the fact that this happened is not something made up by evil right-wingers or crazed conspiracy theorists. It 'literally' happened.
Which brings me to one final thought – which is why this matters. There will be those who maintain, with Johnny Mercer, that all this is just so boring. A no-brainer. Let's just move on and get on with the important stuff. Except that this is the important stuff, not only in politics but in the wider culture. Are people allowed to tell the truth as they see it? Are other people allowed to misrepresent them? Are thoughtless people in thrall to an online mob free to ditch people who have forgotten more than they'll ever know? Are we happy to chase all forms of thoughtfulness from public life with charges of heresy? And if we are, then what precisely are these heresies, and from whence are they issued? These would seem to me to be important matters to get right in any season.
The New Statesman's deputy editor did not properly represent what his interview subject said. As a result of which a considerable amount of poison oozed out across the media and political sphere. Unless there are consequences for such an action it will happen again and again.
Who knows, perhaps legal action will result. Perhaps Eaton and his employers will rue that social media image of him swilling champagne after the 'scalping' of Scruton. The case of Burchill vs Berkoff is a useful primer on the fascinating question of 'malice' in libel cases. Perhaps Eaton and co. can begin brushing up on this? Perhaps the fruits of the Eaton mess might also find themselves in a degree of legal trouble because of the unreliability of the source from which their claims sprang. The underlying truth is not just that poor journalism should have consequences, but that no culture can survive if it celebrates the destruction of its most thoughtful people whilst willing on the survival of the thickest.

Absolute Blue Invitation 3/15/19 - 3/17/19
Absolute Blue Gastronomes
Now that the Absolute Blue Division of Culinary Science, The Worst Food You'll Ever Love, is out of receivership, most related litigation has been settled and we have been granted court-approved protection from creditors, we can continue our epicurean endeavors. Most of the furor stemmed from the response to our latest road to table cuisine which was dubbed CrocoTacos, which bore more resemblance to the footwear than the indigenous reptile, after we found discount 'Krocodile' meat on the internet. DNA tests proved that it was equal parts unidentifiable rodent, wheat germ distillate and polyurethane. We were almost out of the woods when our more ethnic entry came to market, JapanCakes. Customers, later known as victims, found that these passed, gastronomically speaking, so quickly they really put the temp in tempura. Combined with a culturally insensitive marketing campaign the product was doomed from the beginning. We remain undeterred, unrelenting and undeniably irresponsible. This is why, against the advice of legal counsel, we proudly announce the following:
-ShishSkipbab: A North Carolinian delicacy, it's actually just pieces of random roadkill and boiled turnips on a twig.
-Tominy Grits: The perfect way to start your authentic Southern breakfast. Cornmeal, butter and arrogance.
-Billy Cheesesteak: A coupla Steak-Umms and a conservative amount of provolone makes this the perfect dish for the Republican in your life.
-Kevilled Eggs: Start with an egg. Then put it away and get some fish.
-DonDue: Don. Don't.
Join us for the only public performance this Friday at Tiki Bar in Sebastian, on Indian River Blvd, just south of Main Street from 7 to 11…

When you have an outstanding library of classic and familiar games, its time to put them into a kart racer. All companies should do it and PAC-MAN Kart Rally by BANDAI NAMCO is no exception. They should have left their own name out, but maybe Pac-Man is too small to sell the game. Like a lot of mobile games, there is a free version and I will be discussing the paid version.
Pac-Man Kart Rally is your typical kart racer with twelve main closed circuit tracks spread out across four cups with a slew of classic drivers from the 1980s arcade games. The game is bright, vibrant and colorful with themes for Pac-Man, the ghosts, Katamari, and Dig-Dug. I should point out the Dig-Dug series of tracks feel a lot like the Pac-Man ones. The Pac-Man levels should have been in mazes with blue bars rather than out on the open road under a sunny sky. Since so many tracks blend together with only two themes that look different, they all feel forgettable.
Some of the layouts are designed to look like a ghost or a space ship. Its a layer of humble creativity to what could have just been circle tracks. Other than that, the tracks look generic and a few of them could be for any game. The car and driver models look good, but the track and object detail is low polygon from twenty-years ago with flashy new textures.
Tracks go up and down with hills, shortcuts, short jump ramps, water puddles and zippers to throw you forward with a burst of speed. There are no tunnels, but that's to be expected with a mobile phone's limitations. The roads themselves are wide and spacious like a lot of other kart racers.
As you drive, you touch pac-pellets that will increase your speed a bit. Getting hit will drop a pellet on the ground for someone else to pick up. There are blue weapon boxes to give you a random trope of go-kart ordinance.
In terms of weapons, there are fitting weapons that encompass everyone in the game. A pellet boost that is a simple turbo. Getting a Pac-Man makes you invincible. Using a ghost will make the other drivers slow. Eating a cherry will make you go faster and improve your handling for a short time. A Dig-Dug drill will act like a mine, but I only assume that, no one but me ever used one. Last, there is a Damasi ball that first acts like an orbiting shield, but you can then throw it.
Joining Pac-Man is Taizo Hori from Dig-Dug, Blinky the ghost, the prince from Katamari, and a slew of other unlockable drivers including the three other ghosts, a spaceship from Galaga and two others. They all have their stats for handling, acceleration and weight. How weight factors into a game with barely any jumps is beyond me. Perhaps its for taking short cuts through the grass or driving through mud puddles that under normal circumstances slow you to a crawl. Each character has three karts to drive, two of which you'll need to unlock. Its a great line-up that adds to the fun for me.
When you're racing, its only four drivers on the track at once. There is multiplayer support which is always nice, even if its dead. So have a friend next to you. Finishing a race in the top two will advance you to the next and unlock something.
Like other kart racers for mobile devices, you can tilt your phone to steer and you will always be driving forward. There are buttons on each side to steer one way or the other if you hate tilting your phone. At the bottom of the screen are buttons for the weapon on the right, jump in the center and brake on the left. I feel like the jump could have been on the left, because the brake in any kart racing game feels unnecessary. Some people might dislike the auto accelerate, but its fine.
The big problem that I have when turning is that on hairpin turns, you can turn too fast for the camera to keep up; so the camera will be stuck focused on your side rather than behind you. This has cost me a first place spot and it happens once or twice per race with it happening more often on some tracks than others.
Other problems include all the objects popping in. Entire trees just appear in the close distance. Its never anything distracting, nor did it plop a tree in front of me, its just noticeable, but it is a game on a mobile phone.
Beyond the tournament cups, there are extra modes for challenges, time trial, chase, survival and a mirror mode that mirrors the tracks. The challenges offer a variety of twelve missions across three cups. Missions like drive through five gates before time runs out, collect eight pac-pellets before time expires and so on. Survival has you racing three laps with whoever is in last place getting eliminated. Chase gives you a small head start and you need to maintain it. Its a tough mode to lose.
Perhaps the worst part about the game are the music loops. I love the new Pac-Man remix, but hearing a ten second loop of it makes me want to turn the music off. No other songs were on my nerves like this one.
Even with its flaws, PAC-MAN Kart Rally by NAMCO BANDAI is a fun game worth your time on any mobile device. It feels like it has a lot to offer in terms of cup races, challenge missions and unlockable drivers to get your money's worth.

Numb fingers, chapped skin, three layers of clothing, two hats, solid ground, temporary greens and playing off a small square of astro turf mat.
Welcome to winter golf at not only Carnoustie Golf Links, but golf courses up and down the country, and for us greenkeepers, a welcome to our Winter Improvements Programme.
With The Open coming up it was always, as times before, going to be a busy winter. And just a couple of weeks into the winter golfing season, we have not been left disappointed.
It's always a joy to have a high-profile tournament being played over the Links with the eyes of the world viewing our course in great condition but once the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship had been and gone, it gave us the chance to get on with a final overseeding on the greens for the year. Luckily for us temperatures have been playing ball of late and we are starting to see the germination of young fescue shoots coming through.
However, it hasn't just been on the golf course where work has been getting done, and it's not just the greenkeepers who have been hard at work.
For the second successive year we have teamed up with the Rotary Club of Carnoustie in their fight to end polio by planting 10,000 crocus bulbs opposite the 18th fairway, by the Barry Burn.
But I wasn't going to be planting all these bulbs on my own, there was help on hand in the form of pupils from Burnside and Woodlands Primary School. Fingers crossed we see some nice colours appear next year!
That brings us to where we are now in the early part of November and our main job this winter is bunker rebuilding with no fewer than 73 bunkers to rebuild ahead of next year so it's safe to say that it is all hands-on deck.
At the time of writing, we've rebuilt 33 bunkers, only another 40 to go. But it's been great going by all the team.
And it's not just been our own greenkeepers on hand to help us out, we have been lucky enough to have been given a hand by students from Elmwood College. The great thing is that working with the students is a two-way relationship – not only is it a great help for us with the work we're doing but it is a way of teaching them how to build revetted bunkers. It's not just local students either, there is an array of nationalities with some coming from countries such as Spain, Estonia, Ireland and Sweden.
Ahead of the main event next year, it's not just bunkers that need worked on, gorse is another element. Aside from the rebuilding of bunkers, there has been a vast amount of gorse removal taking place too. Some areas are being cleared for grandstands, whilst other areas are being cleared for movement of spectators and for the protection of heather. These areas might not look like much just now but once they've been turfed and allowed time, they'll be in great shape for next year.
That's all from me for now, those bunkers won't build themselves.

The Institute for the Future (IFTF) came up with the notion of "Learning Flows" in a study back in 2013. I think it's more relevant than ever.
"New technologies, work patterns, and practices are disrupting how we learn, where we learn, and what we need to learn. The definitions of teacher and student are becoming fluid, and education itself is moving out of episodic experiences in traditional institutions and their classrooms, into learning flows that course through our daily lives. People of all ages dip in and out of these flows, engaging in continuous learning channels that are contextually relevant and always available." (IFTF)
You'll find more guidelines to understand the concept and also research yourself here.

Let the Global Terrorism Index 2014 be a wake-up call to all political parties, NGOs and Malaysians that we jeopardize the future of Malaysians if we do not check the rhetoric and politics of hatred, intolerance and extremism and hew closely to the path of moderation
Malaysia has climbed 42 places in an international terrorism indicator that has cited religious extremism as the primary cause of terror attacks worldwide.
In the 2014 edition of the Global Terrorism Index produced by the Institute of Economic and Peace, Malaysia is now 48th in a ranking that has Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan at the top, having risen from 91st spot in the 2012 issue of the report.
Malaysia's score on the index measuring the number of terrorist incidents, fatalities and casualties as well as damage to property has also risen steadily from 2012, going from 0.415 out of a possible 10 to the current 3.04. Ten signifies the highest impact of terrorism.
Regionally, the Philippines, (9th/7.29), Thailand (10th/7.19) and Indonesia (31st/4.67) scored worse than Malaysia. Singapore was 124th, with a score of zero, indicating no negative effects from terrorism.
The Global Terrorism Index 2014 is bad news for Malaysia, for overnight, Malaysia has shot into the international radar of the top 50 countries under the world's terrorism-watch, having overtaken 43 countries in a matter of two years as a country where terrorism is a bigger problem – overtaking countries like Uganda, Belarus, Saudi Arabia, France, Chile, Italy, Kazakhstan, Morocco, Tajikistan, Spain, Jordan, Switzerland, Zimbabwe, Sweden, Germany, Canada and Serbia.
What has gone wrong as Malaysia has always prided itself as a model for the world for inter-racial and inter-religious understanding, tolerance and harmony that we are now in the top 50 countries in the world in the Global Terrorism Index on the negative impact of terrorism, when Malaysia should be one of the countries with score of zero, indicating no negative effects from terrorism.
There are a total of 39 out of 162 countries in the Global Terrorism Index 2014 ranked 124 with a zero score indicating negative effects from terrorism, including Qatar, South Korea, Turkmenistan, Vietnam, Finland, Gambia, Ghana, Malawi and Mauritius. In 2012, there were 43 countries with a score of zero with no impact of terrorism.
Let the Global Terrorism Index 2014 be a wake-up call to all political parties, NGOs and Malaysians that we jeopardize the future of Malaysians if we do not check the rhetoric and politics of hatred, intolerance and extremism and hew to the path of moderation.
Malaysia's adverse ranking in the Global Terrorism Index should set off the alarm bells in the country as it come at a most critical juncture of the nation's history, with the recent lurch towards the rhetoric and politics of hatred, intolerance and extremism with racial and religious polarization at its lowest point for over four decades to the extent that the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's international call for a global movement of moderates to isolate extremism, including three speeches at the United Nations General Assembly in four years on the subject, has suffered in credibility and traction.
Najib is probably the only head of government in the world to have publicly praised the Islamic State (formerly ISIL/ISIS) terrorists, when he exhorted UMNO members on June 24 to emulate what he described as the "brave exploits" of ISIL/ISIS for UMNO to survive.
Although Najib has since denounced Islamic State unambiguously and unconditionally at the UN General Assembly on Sept. 26 and on Sunday condemned the beheadings of American aid worker Peter Kassig and 18 Syrian military personnel as "barbarism" and "abhorrent acts" which violate the teachings of Islam and the principles of Islamic law, they have not been able to completely wipe out the horror of his ill-advised initial praise of Islamic State in June.
The Global Terrorism Index's findings that Islamic extremism was the cause of two in three terror attacks last year should be of particular concern to Malaysia, which is experiencing increasing religious intolerance in the country.
Although no direct terrorist attacks were recorded in Malaysia, the country has seen a number of its citizens taking up arms in the ongoing revolution in Syria under the banner of the Islamic State.
The country was also once home to several suspected key figures in groups such as al Qaeda offshoot, Jemaah Islamiyah, the terror group blamed for the deadly 2002 Bali bombings and numerous other attacks.
According to Deputy Home Minister Datuk Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar, 39 Malaysians have been detected as having joined violent jihadist movement seeking to form a global Islamic caliphate.
This is why all eyes are on the UMNO General Assemblies next week, whether they will send out a clear and unmistakable message to Malaysians and the world of the triumph of moderation or whether the rhetoric and politics of hatred, intolerance and extremism are to continue their march in Malaysia.
