Great MBA programs provide students a number of opportunities to develop important skills — the right classes and top-notch faculty, networking opportunities and support, to name a few — but there's one skill less commonly cultivated: How to ace job interviews as a newly minted MBA.
Florida Atlantic University, however, delivered for Savika Tilakhdin. While studying in FAU's Executive MBA program, she was promoted to be an Associate Credit Analyst at JM Family Enterprises. The automotive business is one of America's largest private companies and No. 34 on Fortune magazine's list of 100 best companies to work for.
"The program allowed me to become more confident in my communication and interviewing skills," Tilakhdin says. "Every class was structured around being able to effectively communicate your thoughts, ideas and understanding of the material."
This is one way FAU helps students blossom into expert interviewees and, ultimately, desirable candidates; the faculty and staff encourage steadily developing skills and preparation over time as opposed to a cram-for-the-exam approach. Such a tactic falls in line with the best advice vocational experts offer. Here are five more tips MBA candidates and recent graduates can employ when interviewing to help land an A-list position.
Well in advance of the interview, begin considering the messages you should convey. "What do you want the interviewer to think about you when you leave? What are the key things you must deliver during the interview? Pick three or four specific things about yourself that you want the interviewer to understand about your positive traits," says Megan Hall, assistant director of FAU's College of Business Executive Programs. Then consider different ways to communicate those.
Long before landing an interview, use LinkedIn for research about and to develop a meaningful network within your desired industry. For example, you can view contacts' and interviewers' current and prior jobs and use the tool to learn more about a company and its culture and employees. "Many employers and hiring managers utilize LinkedIn for recruiting purposes, and I'd strongly encourage individuals to become proficient with it and understand how to leverage LinkedIn for opportunities," Hall says.
There's a perception at many companies — skewed as it may be — that those under age 35 have an entitlement mentality. So whatever the job, you might have to go the extra mile to prove you're not afraid to get your hands dirty. "Yes, having a MBA is great, but displaying that you're looking to delegate before even starting a job is not a good sign; instead make sure to show a lead-by-example management style in the interview," says Dennis Theodorou, vice president of JMJ Phillip, an executive search firm with offices around the country. "During the interview, hiring managers and executives want to see a roll-up-your-sleeves-and-get-things-done type of attitude."
MBAs need to give potential employers unmistakable assurance that they can do the job (via their qualifications), will do the job (via a strong work ethic) and fit into a corporate culture seamlessly, says Greg Burns, director at Choice Associates, a staffing firm in New York City. "A candidate can tailor his or her approach to the interview by understanding these concepts and responding to interview questions with them in mind."
You've passed countless tests on your way to earning your MBA, but an interview can be the most intense of all. "Recruiters and hiring managers hold candidates enrolled in or who have recently graduated from a quality MBA program to a higher standard," says Steven Rothberg, president and founder of College Recruiter. "So MBAs with little to no experience interviewing for professional roles may find themselves unprepared for the depth and breadth of questions they're asked." Simply knowing that an interview may feel very much like a difficult oral exam can help, but also be sure you're ready for extremely detailed questions about your skills, knowledge, the industry, organization and more. You may not always have the answers, but how you handle yourself and the pressure will tell the interviewer all they need to know.

Cancer risk drops in half with over 20% weight loss after bariatric surgery
November 5, 2019 , American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery
Patients with severe obesity who had bariatric or weight-loss surgery and lost more than 20% of their total weight were 50% less likely to develop cancer compared to patients who did not have as much weight loss after surgery, according to a new study presented today by Oregon Health & Science University researchers at the 36th American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) Annual Meeting at ObesityWeek 2019.
Researchers reviewed data from 2,107 adults who underwent bariatric surgery, either laparoscopic gastric bypass or gastric banding, at hospitals participating in the LABS-2 (Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery 2) study. The average age of patients was 46 years old, 79% were female, about a third had type 2 diabetes and 44% had a history of smoking before surgery. Weight and cancer serum biomarkers (proteins detected in the blood, urine or body tissues) were measured preoperatively and one year after surgery, as predictors for incident cancer after adjusting for age, sex, education, and smoking history.
While previous studies have shown that bariatric surgery reduces the risk of certain cancers compared to patients who do not have the surgery, this study compared the differences in risk based on the amount of weight lost after bariatric surgery.
Researchers found having a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or more one year after bariatric surgery was suggestive of a 60% higher risk of cancer compared to having a BMI under 30. About 6.2% of those that lost less than 20% of their body weight reported a cancer diagnosis by year 7, compared to about 3.6% of patients who lost 20% or more of their total body weight—representing a 50% reduction. Overall, the average BMI at 12-months after surgery was 33 and the average excess weight loss was 58%.
The most common cancer type was breast cancer (34%), followed by thyroid (8.5%), melanoma (7%), colon (6%), kidney (6%), uterine (5%), and lung (4%). The incidence of bladder, cervical, prostate, brain, endometrial, esophagus, stomach, and testicular was less than 3%.
"Our data suggests that there is a weight loss threshold, that if achieved, significantly reduces risk of cancer in post- bariatric surgery patients," said lead study author Andrea M. Stroud, MD, MS, Assistant Professor of Surgery, Division of Bariatric Surgery, Oregon Health & Science University School of Medicine in Portland. "So, there seems to be a variability in the protective effect of bariatric surgery that is dependent on the degree of weight loss."
Researchers also found that metabolic changes after bariatric surgery contributed to lowering the risk of cancer. For each 20% reduction in leptin, a hormone released from the fat cells located in adipose tissue, there was a 20% reduction in cancer incidence. Decreases in diabetes-related fasting glucose, proinsulin, insulin, and C-peptide levels and increased levels of ghrelin, the hunger hormone, were also associated with reduced cancer risk.
According to the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), obesity is a major unrecognized risk factor for cancer. There is increasing evidence linking it to several cancers including those of the breast, prostate and colon. Obesity has also been associated with an increased risk of recurrence and mortality in patients with cancer.
"For people with severe obesity, bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment available and we're seeing more and more evidence that it's also an effective way to prevent a number of diseases including cancer, heart disease, and diabetes," said Eric J. DeMaria, MD, President, ASMBS and Professor and Chief, Division of General/Bariatric Surgery, Brody School of Medicine, East Carolina University Greenville, NC, who was not involved in the study.
Obesity is linked to more than 40 diseases including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, stroke, sleep apnea, osteoarthritis and at least 13 different types of cancer. The U.S. Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports 93.3 million or 39.8 percent of adults in the U.S. had obesity in 2015-2016. The ASMBS estimates about 24 million have severe obesity, which for adults means a BMI of 35 or more with an obesity-related condition like diabetes or a BMI of 40 or more.
In 2017, 228,000 bariatric and metabolic procedures were performed in the U.S., which is less than 1 percent of the population with severe obesity. Metabolic/bariatric surgery has been shown to be the most effective and long-lasting treatment for severe obesity, resulting in significant weight loss and resolution or improvements in diabetes, heart disease, sleep apnea and many other obesity related diseases. The safety profile of laparoscopic bariatric surgery is comparable to some of the safest and most commonly performed surgeries in the U.S., including gallbladder surgery, appendectomy and knee replacement.

There is a small probability that we are very wrong about climate sensivity and only in this case climate change is an existential risk. The reason for this is not in the climate science, but in the anthropic principle: if our climate is very fragile to the runaway global warming, we can't observe it, as we find ourselves only on planets where it didn't happen.
To fight runaway global warming we need different type of geo-engineering then for the ordinary climate management, as it should be able to provide quicker results for larger climate changes, and also require less research time and may be implemented unilaterally.
I call this type of geoengineering "plan C". it could be something like artificial effect of nuclear winter, may be started by nuclear explosions in dormant volcanos.
Surely, there are lager effect sizes there, but they need much more testing to prove the safety and such testing is the most expensive part of any trials. There is a few already safe intervention which could help to extend life, that is, besides metformin, green tee and vitamin D.
Even as a trillion dollar project, fighting aging could be still cost-effective, after we divide the benefit for 10 billion people.
If we speaking on de novo therapies, current price of just one drug development is close to 10 billions, and comprehensive aging therapy like SENS should include many new interventions, so it may be reasonable to estimate that it will be equal to 100 new interventions, and thus trillion dollar price is real. The sum is large but affordable for humanity as whole: total space funding for all history is around this price.
However, it is impossible to get such trillion dollar funding via donations. But EA efforts could be used to attract larger funders, like pension funds, farma, governments, billionaires and insurance companies for funding such projects as they will eventually benefit from the cure for aging.
The main question as I see: is current spending of 1 billion-a-year on aging enough to delay aging for 10 years? Aging is a problem of (hyper)exponentially increasing complexity with time. There are probably a few interventions which could give 1-3 years of expected life extension (and aging delay): metformin, vitamin D and green tea, and proper testing of them could cost as few as tens millions of dollars as in proposed TAME study of metformin. This (+chance to survive for other life extending technologies) means much higher cost-effectiveness of such small experiments, as I described in the post. There are several other ways to donate more cost-effectively than directly funding aging research, like lobbying WHO that aging is a disease.
On the other hand, as aging is so quickly grows in time, adding up with small interventions will not give us 10 years delay of aging. So when we speak about 10 years aging delay, costs become much higher, as there is no more low-hanging fruits.
I read an opinion that current aging research may benefit of 10 times increase in spending. But it is still not clear, how much should be spent in this mode to find "a cure for aging". I guestimate that at least a trillion dollars for 10 ten years delay of aging - above the level which we could get via simple (but undertested) interventions, which is 3-5 years.
Now, spending a trillion dollars will give 10 billion people 10 years QALY each, which is only 10 dollars for QALY (assuming that we should not count the price of therapy, as people will pay themselves, and they only need an opportunity for life extension, but not constrained in health spendings).
In fact, I tried also to explore this idea—which I find crucial—in my Russian book "Structure of global catastrophe", but my attempts to translate into English didn't work well, so I now slowly convert its content in the articles.
I would add an important link on the A Singular Chain of Events by Tonn and MacGregor, as well as work of Seth Baum on double catastrophes. The idea of "Peak everything" about simultaneous depletion of all natural resources also belong here, but should be combined with idea of Singularity as idea of acceleration of everything, which combined create very unstable situation.
The main idea is that it is ideal defence weapon, as no body will ever attack a country owning such a device.
The idea of attacking the Yellowstone is discussed very often in Russian blogosphere (like here https://izborskiy-club.livejournal.com/310579.html), and interest to the geophysical weapons was strong in the Soviet Union (details here: http://nvo.ng.ru/armament/2006-04-21/6_weapontheyfear.html) - this interest ended up in creating Poseidon artificial tsunami system which is now under testing.
I've read that US has an instrument to attack hardened underground facilities by multiple heavy nuclear strike in one place, which allows creating much deeper crate than a single nuclear explosion and destroy targets around 1 km deep. The same way an volcanic caldera cover could be attacked, and such multiple strikes could weaken its strength until it blow up by internal pressure—so you don't need to go through the whole caldera's cover. no new weapons for it is needed—just special targeting of already exiting.
"Normal" nuclear war could be only only a first stage of multistage collapse. However, there are some ideas, how to use exiting nuclear stockpiles to cause more damage and trigger a larger global catastrophe—one is most discussed is nuking a supervolcano, but there are others. In Russian sources is a common place that retaliation attack on US may include attack on the Yellowstone, but I don't know if it is a part of the official doctrine.
Future nuclear war could be using even more destructive weapons (which may exist secretly now). Teller has been working on 10 gigaton bomb. Russians now making Poseidon large torpedo system which will be probably equipped with 100 Mt cobalt bombs.
"Normal" global warming is not x-risk, but possible heavy tail connected with something unknown could be. For example, the observed stability of our climate may be just an "anthropic shadow", and, in fact, climate transition to the next hotter meta-stable condition is long overdue, and could be triggered by small human actions.
Because of rising solar luminosity the extinction level global warming is a question of "when", not "if", but typically it is estimated to happen hundreds millions years from now.
I would add to your typology the s-risks of quantum immortality—an infinitely log timeline where a person is not dying from aging. Actually, I concluded now that such timeline will eventually end up in some form of AI resurrection, but such AI may be hostile.
Another type which should be mentioned is "hostile human augmentation", where neurons are rewired by hostile AI to make the victim feel even stronger and stronger pain. Which end up in tiling universe with anti-orgasmatronium.
Another distinction which should be mentioned is between a pure "pain s-risks" and s-risks where a person also have moral sufferings via understanding of her bad—and probably eternally worsening—situation (as in the story "I have no mouth but I must scream").
Smaller organisation also probably have to pay larger relative cost for failed grants' attempts. Their main talents have to spend significant amount of time on writing grant proposals (or write shorter proposals of lower quality).
One point is that in our time life extension is more important than QALY, because life extension increases the chances of a person to survive until potential indefinite life extension (or some other important scientific breakthroughs with significant value).
on: Burnout: What is it and how to Treat it.
One more way to treat burnout is to completely change the profession or main type of activity. I did it a few times. I find that after around 10 years I have enough interest to return to abounded field.
Such decisions are costly and may not help to have great success in life, as some most successful people were able to concentrate on one-two projects for much longer than others. But also some people are successful exactly because they are working in different projects (e.g. Musk).

Moving day is often not without its challenges, but for 80-year-old Ngaire*, those challenges were almost a bridge too far. Enter Enliven East Christchurch Kaumātua Service social worker Immy!
Ngaire had lived in her rental kāinga/home for 14 years. She was well settled, liked living in the area, had strong community ties and was close to the amenities she frequently used. But when Ngaire was told her unit (and her neighbour's unit) were to be torn down so new town houses could be built, she was forced to look for a new home, something she struggled to do.
The 80-year-old has no computer and no internet and as rental accommodation is more often than not advertised online, the monumental task of finding a new kāinga was going to be all but impossible.
Ngaire has a strong sense of independence and is reluctant to ask for help but the task of finding a new kāinga was going to test her resolve. Fortunately, she reached out to Presbyterian Support and our new Enliven East Christchurch Kaumātua/Older People service social worker Immy was there to help.
Immy was conscious of giving Ngaire as much assistance as she needed whilst boostering Ngaire's confidence and helping her secure a new kāinga.
It soon became apparent that Ngaire enjoyed the company and security she got from her neighbour Ernie* and some effort was made to see if adjoining properties could be found for the pair. The prospect didn't look too good but Immy was working hard with Ngaire to find something suitable in the area.
Demand for rental properties is high and with a limited budget, the search proved difficult but Immy and Ngaire weren't going to let that hinder them! Eventually a suitable unit was found. It was warm, cosy, close to Ngaire's GP and the supermarket and, even better, a neighbouring unit was also being vacated, making it a perfect new kāinga for Ernie!
Immy's determination to help Ngaire secure a new kāinga is just one of the practical ways our social workers help people in need. Immy has also been able to successfully encourage Ngaire to purchase a cell phone which is helping her connect with the wider world.
Ngaire and Ernie will move together, knowing that their new kāinga will provide everything they need, including the all-important sense of community and belonging.

Help us to help others
Will you consider making a donation to support people like Ngaire? We can help many more older people/kaumātua in a similar situation so that they can live independently and with dignity. Will you make a donation?

Sue Moore
Sept. 3, 1934 - June 27, 2019
Sue Moore peacefully left us June 27, 2019 to spend an eternity with the Lord and loved ones. She was born Sept. 3, 1934 in Plainview, Ark., to John C. and Jessie A. Wilson. She joined seven siblings from her father's first marriage; she was then the first of 11 more children.
She married Mickey Moore Nov. 18, 1950 in Dumas, Ark. They moved to Reedsport in 1963. She worked several years filleting fish in Winchester Bay, and 15 years at Food Warehouse in Reedsport until its closure. Sue thoroughly enjoyed working at the store and getting to see everyone and watch their children as they grew.
Sue was well known for her delicious rolls, okra, and chocolate and biscuits. She made many pans of rolls for the church, family, neighbors and friends.
She was a devoted member of Reedsport Christian Church. She loved her church family and she definitely felt the love they had for her, as they showed it in many ways.
Sue is survived by her daughter, Marsha Manning and husband, Gail; daughter-in-law, Dawn (Moore) Luke and husband, Tim; grandchildren, Kevin Matthews and wife, Tiel, Justin Moore, and Kelsey Mast and husband, Jared; great-grandchildren, Austin and Logan Clark, Julius and Frankie Jo Matthews, and Blakely and Cassidy Mast; sisters, Hazel Pryor, Deloris Isom, Virgie Owens, Connie Terry, and Sandy Patterson; and brothers, Charles Wilson, Danny Wilson, and Steve Wilson.
She was preceded in death in 2007 by her husband of 56 years, Mickey; daughter, Carolyn Matthews; son, Dewayne Moore; granddaughter, Melissa Clark; and siblings, Johnny, Virginia, Pauline, Joyce, J.B., Gus, Lewis, Don and Ronnie.
The family wishes to give special thanks to her nephew Rick Moore for loving and caring for her, her church family, her caregiver Elizabeth, and the staff of Lower Umpqua Hospital.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, July 20 at the Reedsport Christian Church. Contributions in her memory can be made to Reedsport Christian Church, 2795 Frontage Road, Reedsport, OR 97467.
Quincy Tarver "Bud" Freeman Jr.
July 5, 1938 – June 4, 2019
A public memorial service for Quincy Tarver "Bud" Freeman Jr., 80, of North Bend will be held at 11 a.m., Saturday, July 27 at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church, 2250 16th St., in North Bend. A Mass will be said in Bud's name July 21 at Holy Redeemer.
Bud was born July 5, 1938, in West Monroe, La., the fifth (and only son) of six children to Quincy Tarver and Ruby Marie (Acord) Freeman Sr. He passed away unexpectedly at his home June 4, 2019.
The family migrated to California's Sonoma County, and eventually to Eureka, where Bud met Gail Allen, his love for the next 65 years. Bud's passion was outdoor activities, particularly baseball, where he played infield on Eureka High School's undefeated 1956 team.
Bud enlisted in the Army National Guard at age 16. After graduating from high school in 1956, he enlisted in the U.S. Army, last assigned to the 16th Sky Cavalry in Vicenza, Italy. He was honorably discharged, earning credit for 56 months of military service before age 21.
On Nov. 13, 1957, Bud and Gail were married in Eureka. After 18 months in Italy, they returned to Eureka to begin their family. Bud spent the next 20 years in the wood products industry, with stops in Washington and Montana before settling in Oregon in 1972.
In 1979, weary of large companies, Bud began work for a Texas-based engineering and construction firm. He later co-founded D.B. Western, a chemical engineering firm, where Bud served as president until resigning to focus on surviving cancer.
After nearly a year of treatment and rehabilitation, Bud returned to work. He purchased the North Bend franchise for Acme Employment Agency and, as a favor for a friend, opened the Rolling Pin Pizza Parlor. He terminated the Acme franchise and changed the name to Cardinal Services, an inductee in the Oregon Business Magazine's Best Places to Work Hall of Fame. In later years, Bud relished his role of Cardinal's founder, especially the relationships with his work family.
Bud and Gail were active traveling with friends, sailing, and golfing. They enjoyed family reunions and cherished their grandchildren. Bud also enjoyed motorcycles, especially riding with Mike and Dawn Crow, longtime dear friends of both Bud and Gail.
Bud is survived by his wife, Gail; daughter, Stacey Freeman and her children, Lindsey Beveridge and Matthew DeBellis; daughter, Darci Freeman, her son, Rodney Stalcup, wife, Jade and their son, Brayden; son, Michael Freeman, his son, Maxwell Freeman, wife, Chrissy and daughter, Portia; sister, Vicky Beireis, and numerous nieces and nephews.

Brian Higgins
stated on November 3, 2017 in remarks at a House hearing:
"The elimination of income and sales taxes in New York is equal to 9 percent of taxable income, meaning that if you make $100,000 a year you lose $9,000"
By Dan Clark November 20, 2017
Not all state and local tax deductions eliminated in House Republican plan
Rep. Brian Higgins, D-Buffalo, claimed the House Republican tax reform bill could slash middle-class incomes as much as 9 percent.
New York state taxpayers would lose money if Congress decides to end the federal deduction of state and local taxes, he said.
"The elimination of income and sales taxes in New York is equal to 9 percent of taxable income, meaning that if you make $100,000 a year you lose $9,000," Higgins said at a hearing. "If you make $50,000 a year, you lose $4,500."
About 3.3 million people in New York state take advantage of the state and local tax deduction, according to the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center, a tax policy and research organization. More than half of those who take the deduction make $100,000 a year or less.
Is Higgins right that those taxpayers could lose as much as $9,000?
Explaining the SALT deduction
The current tax code allows taxpayers to deduct their state and local taxes from their federal taxes. About one-third of filers do this in New York state.
That helps residents in states like New York where property taxes are higher. Filers can also deduct either their state income tax or sales tax, but not both.
The House Republican tax plan would cap the maximum property tax deduction at $10,000 and end the deduction for state income and sales tax altogether.
About two-thirds of filers choose instead to take the standard deduction, a fixed amount set each year.
Where's the number from?
What Higgins said is different from what he meant to say, said Theresa Kennedy, the congressman's spokeswoman.
He meant to say filers would no longer be able to deduct $9,000 -- not lose $9,000 outright.
Higgins supports that claim with data from the Government Finance Officers Association. The group said the average state and local tax deduction in New York state is equal to 9 percent of a filer's income. That's where Higgins get the $9,000 figure from. Nine percent of $100,000 is $9,000.

By Madison Czopek • January 4, 2023
That's in the ballpark. People making between $75,000 and $100,000 deduct $9,949 on average in state and local taxes, according to data from the Tax Policy Center.
"How much they'll actually save depends on the tax rate," said Frank Sammartino, a senior fellow at the center.
Couples making $100,000 are currently taxed at 25 percent. That wouldn't change under the Republican plan. A $9,000 tax deduction could save that couple $2,250 in tax, according to the IRS.
One caveat
Even if Higgins had said deduction in his statement, he would still be wrong.
Higgins made his claim after House Republicans decided to keep the deduction for property taxes. The deduction would be capped at $10,000. If someone's property tax bill is more than that amount, the difference could not be deducted. The Senate bill does not include that proposal.
Sammartino said Higgins' claim would hold up if there isn't a compromise.
"Nine thousand would be true if it was a complete repeal," Sammartino said. "But it would be something less than that" with the deduction for property taxes.
The average property tax deduction is $6,522 for someone making between $75,000 and $100,000 in New York. That falls below the cap.
"People would be protected to some degree," Sammartino said.
Kennedy, the spokeswoman for Higgins, said the bill still affects residents in his district, regardless of the final numbers.
"We can debate the exact numbers which will be different for each taxpayer, but the bottom line is that hardworking Western New Yorkers have a lot to lose in both the Senate and House legislation which continues to change by the minute," Kennedy said.
Higgins said New York state taxpayers could lose as much as 9 percent of their taxable income if state and local tax deductions end.
Higgins meant to say residents would no longer be able to deduct 9 percent of their income from their federal taxes, not that they would lose that money outright.
But even if he said what he meant, that would still be inaccurate. House Republicans came to a compromise on property tax deductions that refute the numbers in his statement.
We rate the claim False.

Why Somalia is eliminating its best
As stability returns after three decades of anarchy, Mogadishu, Somalia's capital, is becoming a magnet, attracting the country's diaspora to invest and to help out those who stayed behind.
The country's diaspora is coming back to make a difference and take advantage of what Mogadishu and the rest of the country have to offer, bringing in expertise and creativity, and innovative ideas.
They have come back to advance women's rights agenda, start businesses to rebuild a shuttered economy, set-up civil society institutions to teach civilians on the dangers of joining radicalised and terrorism groups and the importance of public institutions and to put the government on check.
But not everyone likes them. They became targets of al Shabab and 'unknown gunmen' because they are disrupting the old ways of doing things. Al-Shabab, which is fighting to topple the Somali government, does not like them and its reaction is deadly.
The group accuses the diaspora returnees of importing Western culture to erode the Somali society. The group targets hotels in the capital where the returnees reside.
Most of Somalia's businesses are managed unprofessionally by people with no or less knowledge, and some are owned by warlords or politicians. When the Somalis from the diaspora with university education and exposure returned, they disrupted everything; they brought in new innovations and new ideas. Some returned to help and advise the government in different fields, taking key positions in the federal and state governments.
This week, Almas Elman, a Somali-Canadian peace activist, was shot dead in Mogadishu, inside the heavily-fortified Halane Camp, near the international airport. She was driving to the airport after attending a meeting at the Elman Peace Centre.
Almas, a former diplomat, becomes the latest member of Somalia's diaspora to be killed after returning home to help rebuild the country after decades of conflict.
Almas' family founded a prominent peace centre in Somalia in the 1990s, and her sister Ilwad Elman was a nominee for this year's Nobel Peace Prize.
The rest of Alma's family had returned to Somalia in recent years to help run the peace centre working to end the violence. Their work includes a programme called 'Drop the Gun, Pick Up the Pen' that encourages child soldiers conscripted by militia gunmen to return to peace.
Hodan Nalayeh, another Somali-Canadian and a journalist returned to Somalia to tell positive stories—the she was killed. Hodan shaped a new Somali narrative.
At least 26 people have been killed and more others wounded when al-Shabab gunmen struck a hotel in southern Somali city of Kismayu on Friday, July 12.
The attack began with a suicide bomb ramming a car laden with explosives into the main entrance of Asasey Hotel followed by gunfire. Politicians, government officials and the diaspora Somalis visiting the city frequent the hotel.
Those killed include journalist Hodan Nalayeh and her husband Farid Jama. Nalayeh recently returned from Canada to tell positive and inspiring stories about Somalia.
Hodan was born in Las Anod in northern Somalia in 1976, but lived most of her life in Alberta and Toronto, after her family move to Canada in the 1980s.
In 2014, Nalayeh founded Integration TV, the first English language online TV, where she shared positive, uplifting and inspiring stories among the Somali people. She wanted to change the international media narrative on Somalia, which mainly focused on war, poverty and piracy.
Hodan travelled across Somalia as well as the world to promote the Somali culture and art and tell success stories in Somalia and its diaspora. She focused on ordinary Somalis doing extra ordinary things in the fields of business, technology, art and culture, among others.
"Our stories are not that are not about suffering are valid and should be told more often. We are more than our pain. We are living and thriving," one of her tweets said.
A day before the horrific attack on the Asasey Hotel took her life; Nalayeh spent the day in the Island of Ilsi near Kismayu, meeting and documenting the lives of a local fishing community.
"The island of Ilsi is an hour away from Kismayu and only local fishermen live there. It is so clean and breathtaking. A perfect place for a day swim with the family. Somalia," she tweeted.
Although minor security incidences have been recorded, Kismayu has been relatively peaceful since 2012 when Somali forces backed by Kenyan troops forced al-Shabab militants out of the city.
Hodan was among a large number of Somalis who returned to the country in the recent past after realisation of relative stability to set up businesses and innovation centres and to help rebuild their country devastated by a three-decade-long unrest, and disrupted everything with new ideas and innovations. Most of the diaspora community who returned to the country did so after al-Shabab was driven out of Mogadishu in August 2011.
In August of last year, gunmen shot and dead Mohamed Ali , the first person to open a flour shop and a drycleaner in Mogadishu.
Mohamed opened the first dry cleaning shop in Mogadishu in 2012 and set up the city's first and only flower shop. He also started Start-up Grind, a Google-sponsored global independent start-up community that nurtures start-ups in more than 150 countries. The local media described him as "the face of young entrepreneurs."
Most members of the Somali diaspora community began returning in 2012 – a year after al-Shabab was driven out of Mogadishu.
The returnees are not fully appreciated; they accused of stealing jobs from the 'locals' – those who remained behind after the civil war and never left the country. They are paid more than the locals for the same work done. Because of these and other factors, the diaspora Somalis continue to be targeted by those who do not want change.

Somalia's 2020 electoral options include direct polls, but reality won't allow that
A Somali MP Asked Regional President to Resign. Now State Wants to Prosecute Him
The African Union Mission in Somalia (Amisom) is planning to cut 1,000 troops from its peacekeeping mission in the Horn of Africa country in February, and later completely withdraw.
Somali National Forces are expected to take over the responsibility of securing the country from al Shabab militants once Amisom complete its withdrawal.
Amisom draws its troops from Uganda, Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya and Djibouti. Allowances for the troops are paid by the EU, and logistical support – from food to medical supplies – is provided by the UN.
Under a transition plan agreed in 2017, Amisom is required to conduct gradual handover to Somali security forces, secure main supply routes, reduce the threat posed by al Shabab and conduct targeted offensive operations that support the transition plan.
When President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo was elected in February 2017, he promised to rebuild and reform the country's military which has been crippled by corruption and lack of modern equipment. Three years later, a lot has been achieved but much needs to be done.
Amisom troops are in Somalia for 12 years now helping the government battle al Shabab and expand its authority outside Mogadishu.
Amisom plans to withdraw complete from Somalia by December 2020, and, if this happens, there would be security vacuum. The Somali army is not yet ready to take over the responsibility of securing the country.
Security gains by Amisom and the parliamentary and presidential elections scheduled in late 2020 and early 2021 respectively could be in jeopardy if Amisom goes ahead in its withdrawal plan.
Although the Farmajo administration undertook some reforms within the military, like paying soldiers regularly and increasing their pay, eliminating middlemen and cutting out commanders who siphoned soldiers' meager salary, lack of capacity and basic supplies and weapons will hinder its performance against al Shabab group which has been weakened but still capable of conducting high-profile attacks against civilians as well as state installations.
When the African Union (AU) troops complete their mission in Somalia, a UN Security Council resolution was that a United Nations peacekeeping mission replaces them. That plan has now been scrapped. The AU troops will hand over the responsibility of securing the country directly to Somali forces. Already, some places like Warsheikh Forward Operating Base, Mogadishu Stadium, Somali National University and Jaale Siyad Military Academy were handed over to Somali forces.
Al Shabab women
Somalia is ranked the fourth most dangerous country in the world to be a woman, fueled by a three-decade-long civil unrest. Women have borne the brunt of hardships as a result of poverty, conflict, and clan-based culture, according to UN Women, a UN organisation dedicated to gender equality.
Women face rape and other forms of violence both from the government and al Shabab militant group.
Al Shabab, since its formation in 2006, has inflicted serious sufferings and punishment for Somali women. The al Qaeda-linked group has stoned to death and flogged a considerable number of women, accused of committing crimes ranging from extra-marital affairs, to pre-marital sex, to theft.
Women are not given fair legal representation and they are not allowed to appeal. They are sentenced to death or flogged without clear evidence.
Despite women facing brutal violence, they form an important social base for al Shabab.
But why do women play an important role critical in the resilience of a terror group hell-bent on punishing them?
"While al Shabab imposes restrictions upon women, it can provide some security and its courts often uphold Islamic family law to their benefit," a report by International Crisis Group said.
Some women recruit, fundraise, spy or smuggle arms for the group. Women's cooperation with al Shabab is not out of sympathy. Their cooperation is a matter of survival.
"Where it controls territory it can, however, offer women and girls a degree of physical safety – hardly complete, but still appreciable – in a country where they are otherwise exposed to violence," part of the report read.
Through its courts, al Shabab upholds tenets of Islamic family law that, to some degree, protect women's rights in matters such as divorce and inheritance in a manner the official justice system does not. While many instances of forced marriage between militants and women and girls exist, for some families marrying daughters into al Shabab bring some sort of financial stability.
Women gather intelligence that enables military operations or extortion, or ferry explosives ahead of attacks, taking advantage of the fact that security forces tend to watch women less closely than they do men.
But women do not participate in military operations directly and they are not part of the group's decision-making organ.
Although al Shabab deploys far fewer women suicide bombers than the Nigerian jihadi group Boko Haram, in some cases it used women to carry out suicide missions because they attract little suspicion.
In July 2019, a female bomber blew herself up inside Mogadishu mayor's office, killing eight people, including the mayor, Abdirahman Osman Yarisow.
Al-Shabab, which claimed credit for the attack, said it was targeting the UN special envoy to Somalia who visited the mayor's office and left an hour before the attack.
Due to poverty and seeking 'better future', young Kenyan women have traveled to Somalia to join al Shabab or have been recruited within Kenya to aid in the group's attacks.
Although the Somali government did some progress; enrolling more girls to schools in areas under its control and increasing the number of civil servants, the country's broken justice system offers women little.
The country's parliament is yet to pass a bill that seeks to promote women's rights.
We look at Somalia, a country that has been at war with itself, clans fighting for power for close to three decades and extremist group al Shabab fighting to topple the internationally-backed government in Mogadishu.
Although political crisis and terrorism still hinder the much needed progress, the country is now recovering from 30 years of anarchy. The government with the backing of African Union troops are gaining grounds against al Shabab.
Somalia borders the Gulf of Aden in the north, the Indian Ocean in the east, Kenya to the west, Ethiopia and Djibouti in the northwest.

Wing-T and a Veteran D ... Baker eyes 6th straight Final Four
Seth Stringer
Northwest Florida Daily News
BAKER – In his 29 years of coaching, Matt Brunson has never gone without spring preparation. He's also never been forced to play in just the second week of practice.
Yet, when those bright lights of Doug Griffith Memorial Stadium kick on Friday and the Gators hit the field against Lighthouse Private Christian Academy for a 7 p.m. kickoff, the man who has led the Gators to five straight Final Fours will be grinning and confident.
Grinning because football, at long last and in spite of more than a dozen other states cancelling the prep fall season, will be played. And confident because Baker impressed in its brief offseason conditioning.
"Not having a spring training hurt and developing a pecking order through the pandemic was nearly impossible, but we got to work on June 8th and we've never had so many guys perfect in attendance," said the Baker head coach. "Our strength levels are the best they've ever been and we've had a great summer under the circumstances of not knowing whether there'd be a season or not."
By all appearances, there will be. A full slate in fact, replete with a Sunshine Athletic Conference champion. And come November, based on their five straight Final Fours, the Gators will be expected to be among the short list of state title contenders.
Considering it's Gameday, those vaunted Gators deserve a breakdown. We're here to provide just that.
So, shall we start with the good? Like the return of Joe Brunson's 2,485 all-purpose yards and 27 touchdowns and right tackle Gavin Vaccarello, both Dandy Dozen nods.
Or the bad? Like the return of just three starters on offense and the loss of four starting offensive lineman, all of whom will be protecting a first-year quarterback in 6-foot Brody Sharpe.
Matt Brunson would have you believe Baker's Wing-T offense is in good hands, potentially even better than last year's crew that seemed one dimensional and struggled outside of Joe Brunson's heroics.
For the veteran coach, it's a simple formula.
"We can't turn the ball over. We have to earn at least 3 ½ yards per play. We have to go for it on fourth-and-2 or less regardless of where we're at," he said.
Brunson said the talent is boundless. Seth Baksa, Kayleb Wagner, Ryan Fleming and Zane Steele all have big-play ability in the backfield and Ethan Edge provides size at tight end with Eric McQueen gone. Sharpe, who played corner last year, also can run options and bootlegs and "can throw the quick stuff."
Protecting Sharpe and the Wing-T, Jalen Day and Randall Godwin will occupy the guard spots, Vaccarello will anchor the right side and a mixture of Alex Johnson, Kurt Armstrong and Jace Tolbert will rotate in at the backside tackle.
"Jalen Day and Alex Johnson and Kurt Armstrong are huge guys alongside Gavin, so it's just about them all working together and utilizing that size," coach Brunson said.
Essentially, it's about setting the table for a transcendent talent like Joe Brunson, who has the complimentary pieces around him to not get fatigued on top of his other roles.
Forgive the cliché, but, yes, defense wins championships. Baker is proof positive of that, allowing more than 21 points just once last season en route to winning a fifth straight region crown.
This year, Baker set to welcome eight returning starters and a bevy of speed, the Gators' defense may be one of the best in program's history.
"We may be out-athleted, but no one will be stronger than us that competes or works harder," coach Brunson said.
Jake Miller and Steele return on the line, while Edge and Baksa and Joe Brunson will anchor linebacker. Meanwhile Sharpe, Zander Long and Jessie Jordan will man the secondary.
"This defense has got a chance to be special because they've played a lot of football together," coach Brunson said. "That familiarity and communication should show up on the scoreboard."
BEST-CASE SCENARIO
Honestly, is there a game Baker won't be favored in before the Final Four?
The Gators return eight starters on defense, bring back a 2,000-yard back in Joe Brunson and should run the Sunshine Athletic Conference slate en route to a perfect regular season. Expect another Thanksgiving practice. Expect a matchup with Madison County for the state title at Gene Cox Stadium in Tallahassee.
WORST-CASE SCENARIO
Well, three things can derail the Gators' hopes at a sixth straight Final Four.
Joe Brunson's health. Baker's young core on the offensive line. Or, more out of their control, an area team like Blountstown or Vernon simply being better. Last year they narrowly beat Vernon 21-20 and lost both games to Blountstown by a combined 54-20 margin, the last a 21-13 defeat in the Final Four.
The worst-case scenario is – Gasp! – not making the Final Four. But this is Baker, where simply competing for region titles isn't enough.
We know Baker's going to be good. With Joe Brunson back and a defense returning eight starters, a sixth Final Four should be all but guaranteed.
Yet if the Gators are to be great or transcendent, so good that they can put a scare into "4A" Madison County like they did two years ago when they trailed just 14-6 at halftime, this young offensive line needs to mature into a juggernaut.
Only Vaccarello returns, the 6-4, 275-pound senior joined by JV'ers and backups from a year ago.
"They've been JV players, so they have to grow and play into those positions," coach Brunson said. "How this offense goes is going to depend heavily on those young guys."

Theresa May's position as Prime Minister is under threat as at least 48 Tory MPs have submitted letters today to the Chair of the 1922 Committee to initiate a vote of no confidence. The vote will take place later today and a decision is likely to be announced as early as this evening.
Immediately following the news, there was volatility seen across GBP pairs with GBPUSD rapidly losing 30 pips off its price, however, this has recovered for now and the market is gradually picking back up as it finds a small amount of stability.
Should the vote of no confidence be supported by an overall majority then Theresa May will be forced to step down from her position. The reason for this vote is likely due to the fact that Conservative MP's believe that someone other than Theresa May would be better suited to secure a beneficial Brexit deal for the UK in the longer term, however, this move would be nothing less than catastrophic for Brexit negotiations in the short term.
A drastic change in government at this stage provides even more uncertainty moving forward and will undoubtedly mean that Brexit negotiations are pushed back even further, with the potential of even having to suspend the article 50 deadline.
Sterling is finding strength in the markets today as it consolidates its losses from this week. Having said this, there is massive potential for further downside so all eyes on the outcome of the vote later today to give insight into just how much the pound could suffer over coming days/weeks.
