California Parents Sue To End 'Unconstitutional' Chant To Aztec Gods In 'Ethnic Studies' Curriculum

According to reports, three California parents are suing to stop the state's public school system from encouraging students to recite prayers to Aztec gods, which have been worshipped using human sacrifices. Their argument is that doing so violates both the U.S. and California constitutions.
"The issue emerged earlier this year when researcher Chris Rufo reported on that particular aspect of the state's ethnic studies curriculum," Fox News reported, adding that "the curriculum suggests chants that invoke the deity [Tezcatlipoca]."
Tezcatlipoca is an Aztec god "honored" using human sacrifices. The World History Encyclopedia explained that the heart of an impersonator of Tezcatlipoca — usually played by a prisoner of war — would be removed with an obsidian knife, and presented as a sacrifice.
The parents are being represented by The Thomas More Society, a group that described the curriculum as "blatantly unconstitutional" in court documents.
"Our clients are not opposed to having students learn about different cultures and religions, including the practices of the Aztecs," said Paul Jonna, partner at LiMandri & Jonna LLP and Thomas More Society special counsel. "But the California State Board of Education's approved Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum goes far beyond that by directing students to pray to Aztec deities. This portion of the Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum is not only offensive, but blatantly unconstitutional."
"The Aztecs regularly performed gruesome and horrific acts for the sole purpose of pacifying and appeasing the very beings that the prayers from the curriculum invoke," Jonna said. "Our clients have both a religious and civic objection to the Aztec prayer, and they do not want their children chanting it, being asked or pressured to do so, or risking ostracism if they refuse."
"Both the California and the United States Constitutions prohibit prayer in public schools," he added. "Can you imagine if elements of the Christian faith were proposed to be included in the public school curriculum? What if a class incorporated praying to the Blessed Virgin Mary, or even reciting the Lord's Prayer? How would that be received?"
The California Board of Education and Department of Education are listed as defendants in the lawsuit, which seeks a temporary restraining order that would prevent "Defendants from authorizing, promoting or permitting the use of Aztec prayers and the 'Ashe' chant in California's public schools and also requiring Defendants to direct those under their authority not to use the Aztec prayer or 'Ashe' chant in public schools."
Fox News explained that "Under the curriculum's 'Lesson Resources,' the [California Department of Education] lays out the chant and more generally defends chants as 'energizers' that can bring unity."
"This section includes several ethnic studies-oriented chants, proverbs and affirmations," the document reads. "These can be used as energizers to bring the class together, build unity around ethnic studies principles and values, and to reinvigorate the class following a lesson that may be emotionally taxing or even when student engagement may appear to be low."
The "ethnic studies curriculum" was approved to be taught across all public schools in the state earlier this year, and looks to teach students about the "histories, struggles and contributions of Asian, Black, Latino and Native Americans." The chant to Aztec gods forms a part of Chapter 5 of the curriculum, titled, "Affirmation, Chants, and Energizers."
'The curriculum's unequivocal promotion of Aztec gods or deities through repetitive chanting and affirmation of their symbolic principles constitutes an unlawful government preference toward a particular religious practice,' said President of Californians for Equal Rights Foundation, Frank Xu, in a statement.

A dual fuel system sounds more Batman-like than it really is. It can solve a lot of issues for homeowners, but it's really nothing more than a combined HVAC system comprised of a heat pump and a gas or oil furnace (or boiler). It's got the best of both types of heating, allowing more homeowners––especially Arizona homeowners––to take advantage of the efficiency of a heat pump, no matter where they live. Our Scottsdale Air professionals are handling more and more requests for these installations than ever before.
A heat pump works differently than a furnace in that it removes the heat from the outside air and transfers it to inside your home. When it's time to cool your home, it does the reverse by removing the heat from inside your home and sending it outdoors. Its heating process differs from a furnace, as a furnace actually uses its fuel (gas or oil) to create its own heat.
A dual fuel system relies on the heat pump to act as the air conditioner when needed, then turn around and heat the home when needed. However, a heat pump can only work well when outside temps remain above 35 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit or so. After the temperatures outdoors dip below what's specified, the furnace then takes over for heating with this system. It's a tag-team affair, which opens up the geographical possibilities for heat pumps since the colder temperatures can now be handled.
Having a combination system like this definitely offers advantages over either just a heat pump or furnace alone. The biggest advantage is the efficiency of the system. The heat pump cools in the summer by removing the hot air from your home, so an air conditioner that creates its own cool air isn't needed. Then in the colder weather, the furnace only runs when the temps fall below what the heat pump handles. Both these scenarios equate to an efficient system of less energy actually being used, which leads to less energy costs, i.e., less money you're spending––which leads to another advantage. Less cost in the long run. The initial installation of both a heat pump and furnace combo will be more than just a heat pump or furnace alone. But in just a few years, you'll recoup your investment by what you've saved in energy bills. Also, if you're purchasing the dual fuel system, that means you're not purchasing an air conditioner. So it could all even out. Yet another advantage in relation to cost is the annual-maintenance costs. Instead of having separate appointments for a furnace in the fall and an air conditioner in the spring, you would have only one appointment for both the heat pump and furnace simultaneously.
Since we're on the subject of costs and money, this subject covers one of the disadvantages of the system. It's usually more expensive to install a dual fuel system over either only a heat pump or furnace, since you're essentially getting two systems in one. Another disadvantage of the dual fuel system is some homeowners may not realize the colder temperatures in their homes that are possible with an air conditioner. The dual fuel system may need some help in cooling, depending on the indoor temperatures required.
If this type of system is something you're considering, contact one of our Scottsdale Air professionals at 480-467-3586 to discuss the pros and cons of such a system for your home. Our technicians are happy to help.


On Thursday 2nd August an urgent request came into our booking office for assistance to move 14 residents from a nursing home in Great Yarmouth to various addresses across the region over a 3 day period.
Emma, the booking office manager, who was on annual leave, came in to take the bookings and together with the supervisor (Madeline) allocated various vehicles and staff in order to convey the request.
Later that evening, another SOS call followed from the same nursing home whose lift had broken down and now desperately needed all the residents moved immediately. Neil, the duty day controller, allocated residents to the remaining crews, and understanding the urgency of the request, they rallied together forfeiting lunch breaks, with many finishing later than their expected time. All of the residents were collected as quickly as possible and taken timely to their various destinations.
Evacuating so many patients unexpectedly from a nursing home was quite a formidable task and many of the residents were quite upset and anxious. Neil an ACA surprised all by jumping onto the homes piano stool and played music from a bye gone era to calm the atmosphere and lift everyone's spirits; a talent we never knew he possessed but we know who to call on when the need arises in the future for such a talent.
The success of this operation is entirely down to the Great Yarmouth booking office, day control and operational crews pulling together and working as one team putting the patient first.
I would like to sincerely thank E-zec for all the help and support during a recent unforeseen incident, requiring transport support to a group of frail, elderly residents.
It was a privilege to work alongside the E-zec team. The kindness, compassion, concern, dedication and professionalism of everyone involved was extraordinary. They worked tirelessly to ensure residents were transported in a timely fashion.
The E-zec team appreciated the challenges being faced and worked collaboratively and were flexible to support the changing requirements.
In this exceptional circumstance, the E-zec team went above and beyond what could be expected to support the individuals, including working through break times, helping to calm residents, working beyond the end of their shifts. This was done with good humour and a positive 'can do' attitude.
It's a pleasure when you hear news like this. So many times the ambulance sector is in the news for all of the wrong reasons. The dedication, commitment and caring attitude of the team have made this happen.

Over 460 acres of rice affected by floodwaters
Region 2 floodingOver 460 acres of rice within the Sparta, Windsor Castle and Hampton Court backdams in Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam) are currently affected due to excessive water. This was reported by Regional Vice Chairperson, Nandranie Coonjah, at the Regional Democratic Council's (RDC) statutory meeting for the month of June.Coonjah in a report to the RDC stated that over 160 acres of low lands in the Sparta area and 300 acres in the Windsor Castle and Hampton Court areas are inundated due to poor drainage, compounded with heavy rainfall. This, she said, is affecting farmers in those areas as 18,400 acres of rice lands were already sown.Coonjah informed the Councillors of the RDC that farmers need help to drain water from the low lands.After the presentation of her report, Region Two Chairman and head of the region's RDC, Devanand Ramdatt, said a team comprising engineers and officials from the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority (NDIA) visited the areas recently and inspections were conducted. Ramdatt said he had communicated with Agriculture Minister Noel Holder on the issues affecting the farmers and in response, the Minister said the NDIA would be repairing the Hampton Court sluice. Ramdatt said currently, the areas have three sluices, however, only one is operable, thus contributing to poor drainage.He however opined if the sluices are maintained then that could bring relief to the affected rice farmers. read more
Chinese GP practice aborted in Shanghai over safety fears
Formula One officials also said the race's medical helicopter would not have been able to land at a suitable hospital in the city, where poor visibility had caused a number of commercial flight delays.With further poor conditions forecast, one option for organisers could be to bring the race forward from Sunday to Saturday as a precaution, while Hamilton offered an alternative suggestion."Sat program: 3 practice sessions, qualifying Sunday morning and then race. Who's down for the switch up?" he tweeted.The three-time world champion, who alleviated some of the boredom by running over to the vast main grandstand to throw signed baseball caps to screaming fans, added: "Seriously tho, this could actually be a blessing in disguise. A chance for new bosses to be proactive & be creative."Hamilton later told reporters: "The track was absolutely fine and we could have run all day today with no issue it if weren't for the clouds."It's not good for the fans watching on TV and even worse for all those people in the stands who have paid money to come out here from the city or even from other countries."More than half the drivers got a crack at the boggy circuit during a curtailed morning running, with Max Verstappen of Red Bull getting around the quickest.– Forlorn drivers –But the situation delayed the hotly anticipated resumption of hostilities between Mercedes and Ferrari.Hamilton and defending champions Mercedes have vowed to bounce back after their wake-up call in the season opener in Melbourne two weeks ago, where Vettel steered his Ferrari to a commanding victory.Forlorn drivers sat in the pits or in their cars Friday as they waited to see whether the afternoon's practice would ever get under way before time eventually ran out.Drivers will have a final chance at practice on Saturday before afternoon qualifying — if the air clears up.Times were slow as teams ran full wets during the short Friday session.It was treacherous going for Kevin Magnussen of Haas, who spun out twice, and Renault's Nico Hulkenberg beached his car on a gravel embankment and had to abandon it.Hamilton recalled the "wheel-to-wheel" battles of his go-cart driving days, saying Thursday that he looked forward to a season-long fight with Vettel."I yearn for those kinds of battles," said the Briton. "I'm dying for that day to come again and I hope that happens with me and Sebastian."Ferrari have shown impressive early pace, with 2007 champion Kimi Raikkonen taking fourth in Australia and signs pointing to another tight battle between the two top teams in China.Newly introduced wider cars and fatter tyres of 2017 appeared to make overtaking harder in Melbourne, but Shanghai's longer stretches could make for more lead changes.0Shares0000(Visited 1 times, 1 visits today) 0Shares0000Weather has delayed practice at the Formula One Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai on April 7, 2017 © AFP / Johannes EISELEShanghai, China, Apr 7 – China's notoriously murky air cut short practice sessions at the Chinese Grand Prix on Friday, prompting speculation of a radical schedule shuffle to prevent the race being scuttled entirely.Smog and damp weather combined to interrupt morning practice and force the cancellation of the afternoon running without title hopefuls Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel logging any timed laps. read more

Why De Bruyne called Euro 2020 draw 'fake' with Belgium's opponents already confirmed
The complicated draw also means England could potentially be placed in the tournament's 'Group of Death'.The Three Lions are top seeds after storming their qualification campaign, but they could face World Cup holders France – who are among the second seeds – and defending European champions Portugal – among the third seeds – in their group. 3 AFP or licensors AFP Due to seedings and rules involving host nations, three of the four teams in Group B have already been determined, with Belgium guaranteed to face Denmark and Russia next summer.The official Euro 2020 draw is scheduled for November 30, but Roberto Martinez's men have the rare advantage of already knowing who their opponents will be.For the first time, the European Championships will be played in 12 host cities from 12 nations, with Wembley Stadium staging the semi-finals and final.Belgium join Italy, England, Germany, Spain and Ukraine in the top seeds, but FOUR of those sides are hosting this special edition of the tournament.EXPLAINED: How England could be placed in Euro 2020 'Group of Death'Only Belgium and Ukraine are forced to travel for ALL of their games, which means Belgium must be in a pot with two nations who ARE hosting.In Pot 2, only Holland and Russia are hosts, but Ukraine – the other non-hosting Pot 1 side – cannot be paired up with Russia due to political tensions, meaning Belgium will 100 per cent face Russia.In Pot 3, Denmark are the only host nation, and so Belgium must join them in Group B.Belgium are now only waiting to find out who the fourth team in their group will be. De ruyne scored a fine brace as Belgium concluded their qualifying campaign with a 6-1 win over Cyprus and a 100% record They join Wales – whose win over Hungary last week sealed their place in the finals – and Finland in Pot 4, along with four play-off winners who are still to be decided.On the 'fixed' draw, a cynical De Bruyne moaned on Belgian TV: "It is a shame, a scandal, honestly."This feels like competition distortion, a fake competition. Football is not really football any more, it's becoming a business."The Netherlands are in a similar position – they have already been placed in Group C with Ukraine.And that baffled head coach Ronald Koeman, who has questioned if he needs to bother turning up for the draw."I don't really understand this new format," he told Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf."I have asked my federation if I still need to bother going to the draw on November 30."

New fund to help young SA innovators
"By creating such opportunities for our countries' future innovation leaders, the fund would be contributing to a brighter and more sustainable economic future for all South Africans." SAinfo reporter Up to four people involved in supported projects also have the opportunity to qualify for an annual stipend of up to R60 000 for two years. "Technology innovation is a prerequisite for continued success and sustainable growth and development," Mkhosi said. 3 September 2012 Young South African entrepreneurs now have access to funding and assistance through the Youth Technology Innovation Fund, which was launched by the Technology Innovation Agency (TIA) in Pretoria last week. The TIA was formed in 2008 through the merging of seven Science and Technology Department entities tasked with promoting innovation in South Africa. It uses the country's science and technology base to develop new industries, create jobs and diversify the economy in manufacturing, agriculture, biotechnology, health, mining and energy. "We designed the Youth Technology Innovation Fund to give innovators access to funding, mentorship and business support to enhance their chances of commercial success and increase the contributions they make to technological innovation in the country," TIA chief executive officer Simphiwe Duma said in a statement. The fund is targeted at people between the ages of 18 and 30 who do not already receive funding from the Technology Innovation Agency. 'Developing a sustainable pipeline of skills' Calls for proposals from interested parties were published in December 2011 and to date, 13 projects have been selected to receive support from the fund. TIA announced at the launch that applications for support are still open and proposals would be welcomed, particularly from people in the country's under-resourced sectors, such as information and communication technology, health, energy and mining. "While funding and support is not exclusively available to projects in these sectors, they are the key focus areas of the Youth Technology Innovation Fund, given the urgent need that exists within them for the development of a sustainable pipeline of skills and talent," said general manager for special projects at TIA, Margaret Mkhosi. Support includes 160 hours of business coaching and mentoring, South African Bureau of Standards product certification worth up to R100 000, intellectual property protection of up to R150 000, a voucher of up to R250 000 for services at TIA partners, as well as access to business incubation services through TIA partners. read more

Wimmer RS has released a Porsche 997 Turbo that has been tuned to produce a monstrous 840 horsepower.
The Wimmer Rennsporttechnik Company, based in Solingen, Germany, has been in the tuning business for more than 20 years. In addition to traditional chip/ECU tuning, Wimmer has been producing individual and custom stainless steel sports exhaust systems including sportier catalytic converters and electronic valve controls.
Rather than just produce an exhaust, Wimmer chose the Porsche 997 Turbo Cabriolet as their platform of choice. In stock form, the 997 Turbo produces 480 horsepower and 620 Nm of torque coming from its 3.6-liter flat-six engine. In order to increase power and performance, Wimmer tuned the engine electronics in addition to installing a twin-turbo system. These upgrades include a twin turbocharger system, new spark plugs, more powerful fuel pump and reinforced pressure tubes. A sportier, more aggressive clutch was also installed to help drivers manage the 840 horsepower.
The result of all of these upgrades is 840 horsepower and 870 Nm of max torque. No information on acceleration numbers or top speed has been provided, but needless to say the car is wicked fast.
Check out the gallery for an up close and personal look at Wimmer's 840 horsepower 997 Turbo!

Diliana Alexander: Professor, Filmmaker, and Producer
Diliana Alexander, producer, independent filmmaker, and the executive director of FilmGate, is challenging film studies students in her Magic Realism in Eastern European Cinema class. The students are enthusiastic and have been able to approach her with the ideas they have for making films and other projects.
Professor Diliana Alexander
FilmGate is a nonprofit organization that supports independent filmmakers and actors in Florida. They're holding a creative conference in February that explores how new technology influences the future of storytelling like virtual reality, augmented reality, mixed reality, and mixed media.
I had the privilege to interview Professor Alexander this week. She has advice on the art of filmmaking and production for FIU students.
How did you get started with filmmaking and production?
I graduated from high school with kind of a good average, so I got accepted into a prestigious university, and because I was good at math I thought I would be good at management and economics, so I studied that and I hated it but I graduated. I always took electives in English and other artsy stuff and when I graduated, I worked for the government for two years in Canada and I hated it, so I thought to myself that if I had to do this for the rest of my life, I would be very unhappy. I took a summer off and went around Europe and when I came back, Canada had just passed a lot of film incentives, so a lot of films were being shot. It was just about to become Hollywood North. Then I thought, well, there's a lot of filming and I love films, so I'm just going to try it out and see if I can go on a film set and see if I like it. Immediately from the first hour at a film set, I was hooked. I started as a production assistant. and because I had the economics background I got really quickly up to production, coordinating, the management and budgeting side, but once I was producing I thought of being more creative, I wanted to write scripts, I wanted to direct, so the TV show that I worked for allowed me write one script but they didn't let me direct because they didn't think I had the credentials (I had been working with them for three years) so when they went on hiatus, waiting for their next financing round, they said "Oh I think it's going to take three months until we start the next season" and I said "Oh, okay well, I'm just going to do my Masters in Film" and that's how I ended up in Florida.
Could you talk a little bit about the FilmGate internships?
Yes! So FilmGate does a lot of things. We have monthly screenings called "I'm Not Going To Move To L.A." not because we hate L.A. We love it, but because we think that local filmmakers should have the possibility of staying here if they want to and create Florida stories and give the state a voice. We screen local shorts films and we present local musicians, and we have a percolator session in it where you can pitch your ideas and then you can find collaborators and creators, and then we have a networking event at the end where people can meet each other and talk about their projects. And then we have monthly workshops, workshops about screenwriting, producing, we just did one on the art of the pitch, which was on how to successfully pitch your project and get it funded. We also have workshops on budgeting and special effects makeup. Then we have that creative conference I mentioned that is happening on February, it's like putting on another festival but on an international level. We get MIT and the NY Times flying themselves to it, so it's quite stressful but great. On top of this, as a collective, we also help our members produce projects. Whether it's short film, narrative, feature films, but also virtual reality projects/ augmented reality projects. If somebody is interested in more of the production process then we need production interns, if somebody is interested more in event management and festivals, or nonprofit administration side then we have internships for that as well.
We love to train. If people are interested in learning how to shoot or learning how to light, we train in that as well. It's really cool, because for anyone that has worked for us so far (FilmGate started in 2012) we've been able to place them in really good positions, which I'm super happy about because we've had students come from UM or FIU that didn't have any film background. One of the production coordinators we worked with started out as an intern and then she became paid, then moved to New York and now she's working for a really famous production company, so it's like a great training ground.
You were in Canada last week at the Toronto International Film Festival, right?
Yes, I was pitching my feature film, it's my directorial debut. I've produced feature films before, but I've never directed one. I've directed short films, music videos, and television shows.
My screenwriting professor is amazing, one of my favorite professors I've ever had. So I found out that she is also a novelist (she invited me to one of her readings). I fell in love with the writing and ended up reading all of her books. They're young adult novels, but I didn't care, they were cool! They had a darkness to them, they weren't too fluffy, it wasn't just about a love story, you know? I always like a really good coming of age story and always from the point of the outsider, and me as an immigrant, I've always kind of related to that. So I pitched to her that she would let me adopt her second novel which is called Narc, and she LOVED the idea because it was so obvious that she had written it cinematically because she's also a screenwriting professor. She had seen my short films, so she thought it'd be amazing to work with a director and I had the sensibility and aesthetic that she would like, so it wasn't really hard to convince her. I think she was waiting for it, really.
So, what are your thoughts on the film scene in Miami? Do you think it's growing?
It depends on how you look at it. When it comes from the union side (the non-independent side) it's not, because of lack of incentives. Most shows have left, I believe the only two right now that are left are Ballers and Bloodline, and Bloodline was green-lit for the third season, but from what I understand that's going to be the last. I don't know if it's because the story ran out or because of lack of incentives. I can probably guess that it's because of lack of incentives. I've met a lot of producers that have said that they love Miami and would shoot in Florida in a heartbeat if incentives returned, but it's just not financially viable. So, from the union perspective, it seems that it's quite dried out and that's really sad because that's where the highly paid positions are. When it comes to the independent side, it seems that more and more filmmakers are creating with the democratization of technology. I'm seeing a rise in feature film production locally, and not all of them are amazing yet but the more there are made, the more they'll get better. There's a feature film that was made here last year called Moonlight, and without incentives. Right now, there's Oscar talk; it was the most talked about film at the Toronto International Film Festival. The director really loved shooting in Florida. I remember we talked about Harmony Korine in class shooting Spring Breakers here, and now he's back shooting another film and buying a house here. So that makes me really happy that there are some great filmmakers that are attracted to this unique environment we have here.
For those that are interested in filmmaking, what sort of advice do you have for them? How can they start and where could they go?
On the preparation side, I think the more movies you watch and the more books you read, the better you know how to tell a good story. Even if they're bad movies, you still learn from them. On the other side, in order to be a filmmaker, you HAVE to have production experience. The more you know, the better of a filmmaker you are. Don't be afraid of taking a camera and shooting with it, just because you're not "techy." That goes for both men and women. Learn how to light, even if lighting is going to be obsolete soon, because of cameras becoming so sensitive. The best thing to do is to be a production assistant for free, or interning for free, and try to absorb the apprenticeship process as much as possible. Try to learn from people that are talented, of course, because you can also pick up really bad habits on set. At first don't be picky, but then eventually you need to start being picky about who you work with, like, which director or which producer because you will probably have those habits for a long time. Also, write your own stories and make as many films as possible. And you know, the first ten will be bad. I mean, unless you're a Martin Scorsese genius. You'll have a lot of bad films in you, and that's a part of the learning process for the good to start coming out, so don't be discouraged.
Is there a specific genre you like to work in or do you work in a variety?
Okay, so I like to work in a variety of genres, but what I would love to work on is Sci-Fi. In a heartbeat. I'm kind of excited about the remake of Blade Runner because I love the filmmaker who's making it but I'm also kind of worried because it's one of my favorite films!

Q: How can I, as a future mathematician, contribute most to Smart Grid research? After I've finished my Master's degree in mathematics, I too want to use my powers for good.
One endeavour I consider good is the pursuit of the design and implementation of a Smart Grid which will, supposedly, allow us to use our electricity more efficiently and connect decentralized energy sources (such a solar panels and wind-mills) to the grid.
I am wondering, though, to what extent studying mathematics is useful for this. The wikpedia article on Smart Grids includes a section on "Smart Grid Modelling". It mentions that, amongst other things, Percolation Theory, Kuramoto Oscillators, Maximum Entropy Methods and Markov Procecesses are studied within the context of designing a Smart Grid. However, most other subjects are more computer science-y.
So I could study these subjects so I can contribute to Smart Grid research when I'm a bit older. My question is, though, are there more subjects I should study to be able to contribute to Smart Grid research? What about (delay) (partial) differential equations, difference equations, optimization theory and operations research? Are these subjects useful as well? Should I study some topics in physics as well? (Such as electromagnetism?) Are there any Master's Programmes in Applied Mathematics that incorporate courses that specifically deal with Smart Grids?

A: I'm a graduate student in power systems, so while I'm not in industry, I figure I could give you my perspective on Smart Grid research as a student who's asking similar "applications" questions to those in my field.
I would first say that, from my perspective, mathematics is quite useful for the S.G.; for such a large-scale system modernization/transformation, interdisciplinary research is essential. The most common mathematical subjects I see brought up in presentations, sessions, conferences, and courses include:

*

*Numerical Analysis and Integration

*Random Processes (e.g.: Markov)

*Linear and Nonlinear Optimization

*Neural Networks

The most common power course I see being taken by students from other fields is (1) Introductory Power Systems Analysis (less so electromagnetics, although it does help you understand the physics behind the system). You can maybe take (2) Large-Scale Systems Analysis, although that somewhat depends on what aspect of the grid you would like to work on.
Courses outside of Power Systems that I (and my peers) have taken or plan on taking include:

*

*Control Systems Theory and Design

*Numerical Analysis

*Optimization Theory

*Random Processes

*Graph/Network Theory

*Real and Complex Analysis

*Robust Control Theory

*Nonlinear Control Systems

I say "intro-level" because you can certainly take another course or two in the area and still apply what you learn to the S.G.
Examples of applied mathematics in S.G. research include Cornell's Applied Mathematics Colloquia and University Research Programs Funded by the DoE. It may say "computational", but at the core of it all is analysis improved/sped-up using applied mathematics techniques. Hope this gives you some ideas!

A: There are perhaps many ways to approach these "smart grid" problems, and one way is to approach it from a "networking theory" point of view.
But, and this is a big but, hot topics like these smart grids, well, they come and go. The way they are advertised is cool, "it is going to solve all of our problems, yay," but it does not work this way. So, unless you are doing research in the area "today," I would keep my options open, and try to read about different problems at your stage. Why is smart grid research so active today? Is it because it is so "promising?". Well, maybe, but you should also keep in mind that there exists a class of network theorists $\mathcal{N}$, such that they first pick their favorite network theory problem, and then change regular network flows to power flows, resource allocation to power allocation, replace vertices with high degrees with power stations or refrigerators, and there they go, they now have more papers (i.e. pressure to publish). Of course, this does not mean that smart grid presents no new interesting research challenges and there is no original work to be done.
Going back to your original question, it comes to me as a surprise that you have never mentioned graph theory in the topics you listed. Pick your favorite graph; the power demands of each node is a stochastic process (peaking for example in the daylight hours where people use more electricity). There also power providers in this network and the power they can provide is also random (these power providers may include individual users). You first have to define a communication protocol among these nodes on how and when they provide power to each other. Indeed, the "smartness" of the grid comes from the hope that these nodes can communicate with each other and decide on the most efficient way to distribute power. The way to define efficiency maybe to minimize the maximum load of the power grid (i.e. the flows), minimize the power transmission losses (which is actually very important as most of the power you produce in the stations gets lost in today's "stupid" grids) or to maximize the total profits of the big power companies, whichever you prefer.
To summarize, I think "communication" is the key in smart grid research (big respect though for the electromagnetics, and power electronics side of things that I know nothing about). If you would like to do research in this side of the story,  I would go with learning some (network) information theory, networking (protocols, TCP, etc), stochastic optimization, etc.

The Virus That Causes Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease May Use Human Protein to Aid Infection
By Kate Bass, B.Sc.Jan 12 2018
A new study suggests that the human protein, prohibitin, may be used by the EV71 virus to enter motor neuron cells and cause the neurological complications of hand, foot and mouth disease.
Credit: Kateryna Kon/Shutterstock
Enterovirus 71 (EV71) is one of the viruses known to cause hand, foot and mouth disease in humans. As it is closely related to poliovirus, EV71 has been the focus of much research.
Although hand, foot, and mouth disease typically presents with mild symptoms of skin rash and fever, sometimes it can develop into a more severe, life-threatening condition.
These severe neurological complications can have serious effects, including brainstem encephalitis, acute flaccid paralysis, pulmonary oedema and cardiopulmonary failure. In some cases, infection of the nervous system by EV71 can cause long term neurologic and psychiatric disorders.
Since there are currently no effective prophylactic or therapeutic agents against EV71, there has been a keen interest in determining how EV71 achieves its neurological effects.
To determine the molecular mechanisms used in EV71 infection, researchers at the National University of Singapore analysed the proteins present in human cells infected with EV71.
Further analyses were conducted on proteins whose levels were found to change during infection with EV71. These included inactivating the genes encoding the target proteins prior to infection with EV71.
It appeared that the human protein prohibitin (PHB) was needed by EV71 in order to enter motor neuron cells. Prohibitin is associated with a vast array of functions, such as regulation of proliferation, apoptosis, transcription, mitochondrial protein folding, and as a cell-surface receptor.
Omics eBook
The researchers demonstrated that prohibitin is present on the surface of motor neuron cells and used by the EV71 virus to gain access to motor neurone cells. Once inside the cell, EV71 uses mitochondrial prohibitin to obtain the energy required to replicate and cause further infection.
A current anti-cancer drug, rocaglamide, is known to inhibit the activity of prohibitin. The researchers therefore tested whether rocaglamide had any effect on the infection of neuronal cells with EV71.
Rocaglamide was found to significantly reduce levels of the virus in neuronal cells compared with untreated cells. In addition, administration of rocaglamide prolonged the life of mice infected with EV71 and reduced the amount of virus present in their spinal cord and brain compared with untreated, EV71-infected mice.
The researchers commented, "This study identifies prohibitin as the first host factor that is specifically involved in EV71 infection of the CNS. Prohibitin is a druggable target (targeted by rocaglamide) and as such, it is hoped that our work paves the way towards an effective treatment able to prevent the neurological complications associated with EV71 infections."
It is hoped that treatment with rocaglamide may help prevent or limit the neurological complications of EV71 infection.
This research also opens up the possibility of developing new treatments for EV71 infection that target prohibitin. Further studies are required to explore the potential of anti-prohibitin treatments in the management of EV71 infection.

The first thing you notice about the bottle that carries this fragrance by Chopard is the traditional Chopard signature — a Happy Diamonds cap holding three magical stones in a golden ring (see pictures).
'Enchanted', the latest fragrance by Chopard. First impressions — penetrating, tells you what it really delivers only 6-7 minutes after application, the fragrance spells sheer romanticism to me. Not just because the press release says so, but because Christophe Hérault and Dominique Ropion, the two perfumers who created this fragrance, succeed at evoking that romantic feeling.
So, what does Enchanted smell like? It is predominantly sweet and very strong as I mentioned earlier. It has notes of the Arabian Jasmine (which is possibly where the potency comes from), derivatives from patchouli, spice and musk.
For those that prefer, clean, fresh summery notes, this one isn't for you. It's for someone who prefers a fragrance that elicits old-school charm and glamor.

Revenge porn conviction, be careful about your actions after a break up:
Internet, social media, and easy access to material and information online has positives and negatives. On the positive side we can easily see what is going on around the world and keep in touch with loved ones that previously we were only able to call maybe occasionally; but on the negative side, there are things people can do now that they wouldn't be able to before. For example, before the social media and internet age, when someone went through a breakup, sometimes they would show that naked photo they had of their ex to their buddies as a way to either get back at her, or to look "cool" because he had naked pictures of a girl people knew. But now, a person with the same intentions can easily destroy someone's life by publishing a video or photos of her online that can easily be accessed by thousands of people. Although many websites such as Facebook have attempted to reduce the risk of this happening by adding a review process for photos that are posted, it is currently impossible to prevent someone from being able to sabotage another person's life by posting inappropriate photos or video of her online. This is the reason that Texas, among other states, has recently passed laws to deal with this issue.
What is Revenge Porn legally known as?
The Texas Penal Code refers to "revenge porn" as "Unlawful Disclosure or Promotion of Intimate Visual Material."
What crime can someone be charged with for "Revenge Porn"?
Revenge porn is a class A misdemeanor in Texas.
What is the definition of "Revenge Porn"?
Revenger porn occurs when a person:
Without the consent of the depicting individual
Discloses visual material depicting another person with the person's intimate part exposed or engaged in sexual conduct
The visual material was obtained when the depicted individual has a reasonable expectation of privacy (for example, if a person is exposing intimate parts in public and someone takes a photo and posts it online, this would not be a crime under the definition),
The disclosure causes harm to the depicted individual, and
The identity of the depicted individual, either directly or indirectly is revealed (for example if the face of the individual is not shown in the photo or video, but a third party is able to verify the identity by any means, then this is sufficient for the crime under the definition.)
What punishment can someone get for committing revenge porn?
In Texas, revenge porn is punishable by up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $4,000.00.

Taking a cue from a personal observation, it was revisited on the basis of the clinical-pathological features the so-called Well-Differentiated Papillary Mesothelioma (WDPM) of the tunica vaginalis testis. A review of the literature shows that this neoplasm is less than 10% of the mesothelial tumors of the paratestis, that its course is unpredictable because recurrences and metastases may occur even many years after orchiectomy, so that the tumor can be classified among those with Uncertain Malignant Potential (UMP). Overall its prognosis, initially judged entirely favorable, with the accumulation of reports. It was proved to be more severe than that of lesions with similar morphology arising in the serous membranes. Its clinical presentation is often confused with a hydrocele. The histopathological differential diagnosis, on one hand, arises with Papillary Malignant Mesothelioma, the other with a papillary carcinoma Mullerian ovarian type. The literature does not report cases of asbestos-related WDPM.
Papillary mesothelioma, Tunica vaginalis.
In 1957 Bàrbera and Rubino [1] signaled for the first time the e xistence of a papillary lesion in the vaginalis tunica of testis. Th e microscopic description of the lesion was the following:
"There was a thin central core of connective tissue and a considerable branching of the processes, which became progressively thinner toward the periphery. The projections of the tumor showed considerable variation in size and shape. The free surface of the papillae was covered by a single layer of cells that varied (through transitional phases) from a columnar to a flattened shape, resembling endothelium). In some areas, the lining cells were polystratified, mainly where they resembled epithelium nuclei that were relatively large and uniform in shape. No mitoses were observed. There was no evidence of a basement membrane."
The authors reported the lesion with a mesothelial origin and called it Papillary mesothelioma of the Tunica vaginalis.
A man of 49 years old for about two months referred swelling of the left emiscrotum. For a suspect hydrocele underwent surgical eversion of the tunica vaginalis testis. Grossly, on the surface of the vaginalis a vegetanting lesionoccupying most of the excised area was observed. Some fragments were sampled for histopathological evaluation.
The specimens, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded were stained with hematoxylin-eosin. The microscopic evaluation showed a papillary broad-based proliferation implanted into the tunica vaginalis. The papillae were-constituted by a fibrovascular axis on which an epithelial lining single consisting of cubic, provided with a voluminous nucleus, was implanted (Figures 1 and 2) that sometimes gave a mucosal serrated appearance (Figure 1D). Mitotic activity was absent a large number of psammoma bodies in various stage of evolution were present (Figure 3).

Based on the morphological characteristics and immunohistochemical profile diagnosis of "Well Differentiated Papillary Mesothelioma of Tunica Vaginalis (WDPM)" was formulated.
After the histopathological diagnosis, the patient underwent orchiectomy. 24 months after surgery he is still free from disease.
Knowing that the tunica vaginalis of the testis is an evagination of the peritoneal serosa following the descent of the testis from the abdominal cavity into the scrotum, many have speculated the possibility here they can originate malignancies to mesothelial histogenesis. In this connection it was debated the possible mesothelial origin of the so called Adenomatoid Tumor, thesis favored by Riopelle and Masson [4], while Stout favored the mesonephric origin proposed by Dixon and Moore [5].
The disagreement on origin of Adenomatoid tumor found justification from the different morphology and biological behavior of these tumors compared to those arising in the serous membranes.
In their conclusions, the authors of the original report [1] underlined the difference between their observed lesions with so called adenomatoid tumors, point out. Also, the strong morphologic analogy with the lesion reported. 76 in the Fascicle" Tumors of Retroperitoneum,, Mesentery and Peritoneum" of the first series of the Atlas of Tumor Pathology AFIP (1951) [6]., defined as "benign papillary mesothelioma found incidentally at operation" This lesion showed the morphologic characteristics of the tumor later called Welldifferentiated Papillary Mesothelioma (WDPM) which typically occurs in the peritoneum of childbearing women, which is often an incidental finding during surgery, and pursue an entirely benign course [7,8].
In the paratestis are reported all types of periodontal lesions described in the pleural and peritoneal site, so it is not easy to extrapolate the lesions of the type we encountered. In a series of 11 cases of mesothelioma [9] five were epithelial and six biphasics. Among the epithelial, three were predominantly exophytic, papillary, well differentiated. The authors conclude "an aggressive natural history with a potential for late recurrence or metastasis of even well-differentiated tumors, suggesting the need for initial aggressive surgical treatment."
In 2010 Bisceglia [10] retrieved in the literature 223 cases of mesothelioma of paratestis. Our research in PubMed lists 175 items devoted to "mesothelioma tunica vaginalis" for a total of 252 cases. In the title of these items the word "malignant" appears 124 times.
In a study of a small series of 8 cases of WDPM [11] with follow-up to an acceptable length in only 5, having observed a morphological continuum between these forms and frankly Malignant Mesothelioma (MM), it is suggested to consider these lesions with a low malignant potential (LMP), taking into account the very late appearance of recurrences or metastases.
Erdogan [12] in 2014 found in the English literature only 18 cases of WDPM of tunica vaginalis. Entering in PubMed the request for WDPM of tunica vaginalis we have recorded 21 items for a total of 29 cases, 11 of which are considered benign, 2 frankly malignant and 16 with uncertain malignant potential (UMP) (Table 1).

From the literature it is evident that these lesions have been interpreted differently over the years. Following this finding it is interesting to know how much on this subject have been reported over time, those texts that pathologists have daily on their desk working from which they take their diagnostic opinions.
In the fascicle "Tumors of Male Sex Organs" of the First Series of Atlas of Tumor Pathology-AFIP (1952) there is no mention of this type of paratestis lesions. It Is mentioned, however, the adenomatoid tumor from which they are proposed, without convinction, numerous histogenetic hypotheses [5].
In the fascicle "Tumors of Male Genital System", of the second Series of Atlas of Tumor Pathology- AFIP (1973), in addition to Adenomatoid tumors, various types of Pararatestis mesotheliomas are reported, as purely papillary forms for which it is proposed a benign course [30].
In the fascicle Tumors of the Testis, Annexa, Spermatic Cord, and Scrotum of the third series of Tumor Atlas AFIP (1997), in the section concerning the Paratestis it states "that here the MM are predominantly epithelial, typically papillary or tubulopapillary. Occasionally they resemble the so-called welldifferentiated papillary mesothelioma of the peritoneum female". With regard to the prognosis they are textually express "even well-differentiated papillary tumors can be clinically malignant" [31]. Also in the Fascicle Tumor of Testis and Adjacent Structures of the fourth series of Tumor Atlas AFIP the opinion of malignancy of the WDPM of paratestis has been confirmed [32].
In WHO Classification of Tumours (2004) in the chapter on Tumours of Paratesticular Structures, there is a specific section dedicated to the benign mesothelioma that includes Multicystic Mesothelioma and WDPM. For the latter, however, it is recommended the qualification of borderline and rare more aggressive cases have been reported [33].
In WHO Classification of Tumours (2016) in the chapter on Tumours of Paratesticular Structures there is a specific section devoted to WDPM. The AA draw a distinction between the purely papillary forms and those with a more complex structure (with formation of tubules), although not invasive, for which is reserved the borderline qualification. At the purely papillary, after having ascertained the complete lack of invasiveness, it can be is attributed, "with greater confidence", a favorable prognosis [34].
From the examination of the literature appears that the WDPM tunica vaginalis represent less than 10% of mesotheliomas of paratestis and would show a substantially more aggressive behavior towards its counterpart arising in the peritoneum of childbearing women, considered quite benign. Perez Ordonez reports that "In the series of the British Testicular Panel and Registry only 4 out of 202 paratesticular neoplasms were accepted as examples of WDPM" [35].
Many studies, Daya and Caughney [36] Butnor et al. [25], Gateau-Salle et al. [37], Hoekstra et al. [38], in a total of 61 cases of WDPM in the pleura and peritoneum, in individuals of both sexes and of all ages, demonstrated substantially benign course of the neoplasia in these locations regardless of gender and age.
The main source of uncertainty lies in the difficulty to differentiate these lesions from the more differentiated forms of MM with prominent exophytic or papillary component in which; however, tubular formations and infiltrative phenomena of the paratestis structures are associated. These aspects are discriminating and should be thoroughly sought [22]. It is not unlikely that some cases of WDPM to particularly aggressive behavior were nothing but unrecognized MM.
Another challenging differential diagnosis is with the ovarian type of papillary Müllerian tumors which are reported in literature in a number of cases, not entirely irrelevant [39-52]. While the differential diagnosis of WDPM from MM is mainly based on morphologic criteria, that from papillary neoplasms of Mullerian type, ovarian-like, it is mainly based on immunohistochemistry [53].
In any cases of WDPM reported in literature asbestos exposure was indicated. Between 9 cases of mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis reported by Meisenkno then with a prior exposure to asbestos, no case of WDPM was found (Table 2) [55].

Table 2: Differential immunophenotypic expression between the various papillary lesions of the paratestis (from amin, modified) [54].
Our case presents the clinical, morphological and immunophenotypic features of a typical WDPM of the tunica vaginalis. The literature review has shown that from the morphologic point of view nothing substantial was added to the exhaustive original description of Bàrbera and Rubino. In immunophenotypic terms the tumor does not differ from similar histotypes arising in the serous membranes.
With regard to the prognosis the examination of the literature gives the impression of a greater severity compared with similar histotypes arising in the serous membranes, perhaps due to the difficulties of differential diagnosis with frankly malignant papillary lesions, for which it is reasonable to put WDPM of the tunica vaginalis between lesions of uncertain malignant potential (UMP) than among those with low malignant potential (LMP).
