Advice for stirring your online community and fostering engagement

When you enter into any new area of science, you almost always find

yourself with a baffling new language of technical terms to learn before you can converse with the experts. This is certainly true in astronomy both in terms of terms that refer to the cosmos and terms that describe the tools of the trade, the most prevalent being the telescope. So to get us off of first base, let’s define some of the key terms that pertain to telescopes to help you be able to talk to them more intelligently. The first area of specialization in telescopes has to do with the types of telescopes people use. The three designs of telescopes that most people use are the Refractor, the Reflector and the Schmidt Cassegrain telescope. The refractor telescope uses a convex lens to focus the light on the eyepiece. The reflector telescope has a concave lens which means it bends in. It uses mirrors to focus the image that you eventually see. The Schmidt Cassegrain telescope uses an involved system of mirrors to capture the image you want to see. A binocular telescope uses a set of telescopes mounted and synchronized so your view of the sky is 3-D. Beyond the basic types, other terms refer to parts of the telescope or to the science behind how telescopes work. Collimation is a term for how well tuned the telescope is to give you a good clear image of what you are looking at. You want your telescope to have good collimation so you are not getting a false image of the celestial body. Aperture is a fancy word for how big the lens of your telescope is. But it’s an important word because the aperture of the lens is the key to how powerful your telescope is. Magnification has nothing to do with it, its all in the aperture.

YAOUNDE, July 21 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Whether it
is organising neighbourhood vigilante groups, sending vital updates or helping those who have been forced to flee their homes, local communities in Nigeria play a
crucial role in the fight against Boko Haram.

And the role they play can have a marked impact on the progress of Boko Haram in establishing new power bases, according
to Yunusa Zakari Ya'u, head of Nigeria's Centre for Information Technology and Development (CITAD), a civil society group that promotes good governance.

Ya'u said the role local communities play is often missed in media
coverage, and a new book published by the centre seeks to set the record straight, exploring communities'
role in an 8-year Islamist insurgency that has rocked northeast Nigeria.

Boko Haram, whose name loosely means 'Western education is sinful', has killed more than 20,000
people and uprooted some 2.7 million since 2009 in its bid to
carve out an Islamic state.

The jihadist group has used religion as a justification for
the deployment of women and children as suicide bombers, the torching of churches
and mosques, and indiscriminate killings.

In response, religious tolerance is part of communities' armoury
as they try to unite against the militants, said Ya'u.

The book tells the tale of two towns with similar
demographics whose reaction to the militants could not have been more
different.

Mubi and Gombi sit in Nigeria's northeastern Adamawa state, one of the poorest parts of the country.

Alongside soaring unemployment rates, the area has been blighted by poor harvests and
increasing levels of desertification.

The state is also very diverse: among a population of almost 4 million, there are approximately
58 different ethnic groups.

Yet Mubi and Gombi had very different responses to attacks.

While Mubi crumbled under pressure and briefly became the largest town controlled by Boko Haram,
Gombi withstood bombings before vigilantes and security forces drove out the militants.

"There (in Gombi), despite the same religious diversities (as in Mubi) - Christians and Muslims, various ethnicities and so forth - they were able to come together to present one of the most effective responses to Boko Haram," Ya'u told the
Thomson Reuters Foundation by phone.

TALE OF TWO CITIES

However, in Mubi, religious polarisation, economic
inequalities and youth unemployment made the radicalisation of young people relatively easy, said Musa Shalangwa, political economist and
lecturer at the Adamawa State Polytechnic.

"Several months before Mubi was attacked and taken over by insurgents in October 2014, strangers, who turned out to be insurgents, were seen in the town openly preaching their extremist views and calling on all Muslims to join their jihad," Shalangwa wrote in the
book.

Meanwhile, in Gombi, youths - both Christians and Muslims - joined vigilante groups, with wealthier residents contributing funds to protect public places, in particular places of worship.

Both Muslim and Christian faith representatives held regular meetings
to promote peace between religious groups, while also
holding security meetings with community leaders.

"The role of local leadership is critical in terms of mobilising members of diverse backgrounds ... to come together and present a united front against the insurgents,"
said Ya'u.

Poverty and inequality also fuelled the violence, he said.

"Clearly, a high degree of inequality is needed to turn the disaffected communities into violence. This was the case in Mubi, which has its vast commercial wealth concentrated in the hands of a few," Ya'u wrote.

In order to build community resilience, trust in security forces and the authorities is important, said Ya'u.

At the start of the insurgency, when Boko Haram was attacking
police and security forces, some communities were happy, even supporting them, he said.

"This was because they saw the police as an enemy. We think the best way to build trust would be by developing community policing (where)the police and community need to work together."

Чувашские депутаты отчитались о доходах

Tuesday, 04 October 2022 07:41

Интернет-газета "Ирĕклĕ Сăмах" - это речь на свободную тему, но прежде всего нам интересны новости Чебоксар и Чувашии, политическая, общественная и культурная жизнь нашей
республики и всего Поволжья.

Мы исходим из того, что в российских регионах не хватает
независимой журналистики, и в
нацреспубликах ситуация особенно тревожна.
"Ирĕклĕ Сăмах" рассказывает
без цензуры о политике в Чувашии и в России.

Мы разделяем ценности федерализма, и
нам интересно прошлое, настоящее и будущее чувашского
национального движения. Национальное для нас -
это не что-то замкнутое в себе, а
потому национальные движения соседних и не очень
народов также не остаются без нашего внимания.

"Ирĕклĕ Сăмах" - это не только новая газета в Чувашии.
Это та среда, из которой может родиться новый чувашский дискурс.
Мы заинтересованы в сотрудничестве с авторами, которые разделяют наши взгляды, обладают энтузиазмом
и соответствующими профессиональными
навыками.
