Our children are not monsters , argues mom of the ISIS fighter

BBC talked with one young British woman who was recently contacted by ISIS recruiters. She preferred not to use her name, but she did talk about what first got her interested in groups others might view as radical. It was the news about three teenage girls, gifted students in east London who slipped away in February to join ISIS. "Why are they going?" she asked herself. "I guess that sparked a sort of curiosity." She started tweeting stories about the three girls. She thinks that ISIS recruiters found her Snapchat account in her Twitter bio. "It wasn't really as cliché as people think it was. It wasn't a sort of 'Hey, come join us!'" she notes. "It was more of a, "Hey sister, how are you doin'?' ... It's like a conversation with a friend. It's like a normal thing." When the recruitment became more intense, she worried most about what joining a radical group would mean for her commitment to soccer.  ...

Reasons To Consider Becoming A Tech Geek

There are many careers and occupations that are known to stand the test of time. Medical practitioners, accountants, and teachers have existed for millennia and will probably exist until the robocalypse. Today, we need to add computer and information technology professionals to that list. If you really want to get technical, computers started back in the early 1800s. However, computers as we recognize them today were invented over 70 years ago. They have significantly evolved during this time, from what used to be large, room-sized computers that would occupy as many as 1800 square feet of space, to fitting in the palms of our hands. Whether the roles that exist today are called computer engineers, programmers, or database administrators, the tech industry has now become a permanent and lucrative industry that you should consider getting into. 1. It’s where the jobs are and will be. Although the role of a computer engineer or computer programmer has been changing and ...
