On Storytelling & Magic Realism in Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children, Shame, and ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: Salman Rushdie’s novels are humorous books about serious times. His cosmopolitanism and
hybrid identity allowed him access to multiple cultures, religions, languages, dialects, and various modes of
writing. His style is often classified as magic realism, blending the imaginary with the real. He draws
inspiration from both English literature and Indian classical sources. Throughout his works, there is a lineage of
‘bastards of history’, a carnival of shameful characters scrolling all along his works. Rushdie intertwines fiction
with reality, incorporating intertextual references to Western literature in his texts, and frequently employing
mythology to explore history. This paper focuses on Rushdie’s three novels: Midnight’s Children, Shame, and
Haroun and the Sea of Stories, analyzing his postmodern storytelling techniques that aim to explore human
vices and follies while offering socio-political criticism.
KEYWORDS : Magic Realism, Rushdie, Satire, Storytelling, Transfictional Identities

CYBER SECURITY ENHANCEMENT IN NIGERIA. A CASE STUDY OF SIX STATES IN THE NORT...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: Security plays an important role in human life and endeavors. Securing information and
disseminating are critical challenges in the present day. This study aimed at identifying innovative technologies
that aid cybercrimes and can constitute threats to cybersecurity in North Central (Middle Belt) Nigeria covering
its six States and the FCT Abuja. A survey research design was adopted. The researchers employed the use of
Google form in administering the structured questionnaire. The instruments were faced validated by one expert
each from ICT and security. Cronbach Alpha reliability Coefficient was employed and achieved 0.83 level of
coefficient. The population of the study was 200, comprising 100 undergraduate students from computer science
and Computer/Robotics Education, 80 ICT instructors, technologists and lecturers in the University and
Technical Colleges in the Middle Belt Nigeria using innovative technologies for their daily jobs and 20 officers
of the crime agency such as: Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) andEconomic and Financial
Crimes Commission (EFCC). Three research purposes and questions as well as the hypothesis guided the study
on Five (5) point Likert scale. Data collected were analyzed using mean and standard deviation for the three
research questions while three hypotheses were tested using t-test at 0.05 level of significance. Major findings
revealed that serious steps are needed to better secure the cybers against cybercrimes. Motivation, types, threats
and strategies for the prevention of cybercrimes were identified. The study recommends that government,
organizations and individuals should place emphasis on moral development, regular training of its employees,
regular update of software, use strong password, back up data and information, produce strong cybersecurity
policy, install antivirus soft and security surveillance (CCTV) in offices in order to safeguard its employees and
properties from being hacked and vandalized.

We believe everyone deserves an equal shot at economic opportunity – to do work that matters, take care of

4. KAVIN’S STORY Turning a Dream Career Into Reality
“My life goals and career path have changed after this course. This program has been a life changer for me! I am interested
in video editing techniques and I was able to learn several hints and tips on video and digital editing
from LinkedIn.”
While growing up in the small south Indian village Erode, Kavin developed a passion for video and graphics. What he didn’t
have was access to the technical training, equipment, and mentorship needed to grow his passion into a career.
Kavin had a clear picture of what he wanted his future to hold. But he wasn’t sure what steps to take to make it a reality.
For Kavin, the answer came from Quest Alliance’s employability program. The program is designed to prepare young
people across India with real world skills that help them build the confidence they need for the world of work. Quest
Alliance, LInkedIn for Good’s youth employment partner in India, introduced Kavin to LinkedIn, and the tools it
provides to help him – and people like him – achieve their career goals. On LinkedIn, Kavin discovered a vibrant
video editing group where he could speak with others who shared his passion, and where he could ask questions
about how to succeed. He also followed professional media organizations, and discovered the resources he
needed to help him understand what a future in digital video could look like.
With the help of the information, resources, and inspiration he found on LinkedIn, Kavin is now prepped to
start his own business in digital media. Thanks to LinkedIn and Quest Alliance, Kavin was able to turn his
dream of what a career in digital editing might look like – into a viable path forward in his career.

6. DONTE’S STORY A Veteran Finds His Future Through LinkedIn Learning
“Round out your skill set. Use LinkedIn Learning, network with your fellow veterans, and take advantage of the resources
out there to further your education. Don’t settle for a job that doesn’t inspire you.”
After serving in a variety of roles in the US Army, Donte’s civilian job search for a programming position was a
disappointment. He couldn’t find the right fit for his skills – even though he knew he’d learned so much in his military
career. The experience left him frustrated, but motivated to learn more – about both professional networking and
coding. Donte decided to go after his future aggressively and pursue his passion for technology. That meant
enrolling in a technology training program. What surprised him was that he learned even more than how to code.
At a VetsInTech event, Donte discovered that LinkedIn provides veterans with a one-year free Premium subscription,
including access to LinkedIn Learning. Donte took the opportunity and dedicated himself to learning to code faster.
It paid off. Donte’s web development coursework with the LinkedIn Learning platform, helped him bridge
his knowledge gap – and made him a more competitive job candidate. He also learned to network with other
veterans, which lent him the support he needed to transition into the world of civilian work – and find the
perfect job. Donte is now a full-stack web developer at Hack the Hood, a nonprofit that introduces young
people of color with low incomes to careers in tech.

LINKEDIN FOR GOOD REFUGEE PROGRAMS
8. MARWAN’S STORY Employment and a New Life For a Refugee
“Test your limits. Whenever you find anxiety, go for it.”
Marwan’s story is one of strength and hope. He’s one of millions of Syrian refugees who’ve fled constant fighting
and a brutal war.
Marwan left Syria with 200 euros, an excellent education, and the ability to speak fluent English. On a mission to save
himself and his family, he found work in Turkey at a bakery where conditions were abusive and destitute. After many
months, he fled Turkey with his uncle in a rubber raft, escaping across the Mediterranean Sea to Greece.
Once in Greece, Marwan met supporters who helped him ultimately get to Sweden. During his early days in Sweden,
he lived in host homes and refugee camps, sending CVs out in a feverish attempt to find work – and take care of
himself in his new home.
Marwan learned about LinkedIn’s Welcome Talent initiative, which provides refugees services focused on career
development and job accessibility. He connected with the program’s local project manager, who was able to
help Marwan find an internship at Newsner, one of Sweden’s largest media companies.
After crossing borders, oceans, language barriers, and cultural divides, Marwan found himself not only
safe – but employed, and working toward a real future through the support of LinkedIn.
For Marwan, family continues to drive him forward, “It’s impossible for my parents, or my 13 year-old
brother to survive outside of Syria. I am their only hope.”

“This was one of the most rewarding programs I have been a part of! I left each class with a spring in my step, feeling
extremely positive and grateful that I had made a difference in young people’s lives. Do something new, use your skills
to help others and you will be blown away with the positive outcome!”
After successfully starting at LinkedIn as a Sales Solutions Account Executive in Dublin, Andy decided he wanted to
get involved in one of LinkedIn’s employee volunteer programs. He found just the right fit as a volunteer with Junior
Achievement Ireland, LinkedIn’s signature nonprofit partner in Dublin.
Over five weeks, Andy took time out to work with 13 students at an inner-city school in the Irish capital. Teaching
participants about the fundamentals of business ownership, Andy used interactive role-playing sessions to deliver
lessons in business financials, leadership, and operations, to increase understanding of economic issues in Ireland,
and the careers open to them in the future.
In 2016, an additional 65 LinkedIn employees from our Dublin office joined Andy to devote more than 640 hours to
volunteer with 1,027 students in 21 schools in Ireland.
Andy is just one of the many of our employees who go above and beyond to bring our mission of providing
economic opportunity to underserved communities to life.

“Our recruitment team, as a whole, has half the budget that teacher recruitment alone had last year. We have to think
creatively in terms of how we go about recruiting.”
It’s a story all too common in school districts across the United States: education budgets that continue to shrink while
demands for talented teachers increase. Denver Public Schools (DPS) is one of the many public school districts tackling
that teacher recruitment gap.
In 2016, the team faced recruiting for their 14,000 person district with less than half the previous year’s funding. To make
it even harder, enrollment in teacher prep programs had fallen 30% from the prior year, so qualified teachers were in
short supply. Traditional talent pipelines from career fairs and local applicants were also waning.
Luckily, The Denver Public Schools recruitment team, including Amanda Ludwig, rose to the occasion. They
turned to LinkedIn Talent Solutions to find new candidates and deliver a personalized candidate experience. The
LinkedIn network helped them discover diverse candidates and professionals outside their ordinary pool. With the
nonprofit discount and their dedicated LinkedIn nonprofit relationship manager as a partner, DPS has been able
to build new candidate pipelines, close the gap they were facing – and find the teachers and staff they needed.
