When most people think of digital notetaking, they generally think of Evernote. In fact, a Sight article I wrote included Evernote and some of the things it can do. See my previous article here.
Founded in 2007, Evernote grew fast. Investors were throwing money at it and it made moves into hardware, teaming up with other companies to make products designed for their software. They started an online store for customers to purchase their products.
Versions are available for Windows, Mac, Android, iPad, iPhone, Windows Phone, Chromebook and via a browser at https://www.onenote.com/.
For hints and tips, follow OneNote's Twitter account https://twitter.com/msonenote and blog https://blogs.office.com/onenote/.
But recently, Evernote has been scaling back its operations, shedding staff, backing out of hardware, closing down its store and various other apps like Evernote Food (see here). This has created a bit of unrest in regards to its future. After all, they hold an enormous amount of their customers' notes on their system.
However, If you have notes in Evernote and are concerned, there's an alternative. Microsoft's OneNote is free, in some cases can do more than Evernote. It's designed intuitively and upon opening, has a familiar interface based on notebooks.
You can create different notebooks for different topics. In those notebooks, you have tabs and in those tabs you have your pages.
For instance, I maintain a knowledgebase in OneNote at work. I have different notebooks for hardware, software, networking, and a number of others. In 'software', I have tabs for Adobe Acrobat, Windows, AutoCAD and so on. Under 'Windows', I'll have pages with fixes for various issues, how-to articles and license information. To share a page, I can click 'Email Page'. This will email the page exactly how it looks in OneNote.
All text on the pages is rich text, so your fonts can be different as can their colours. Notebooks can also be coloured for easy identification.
OneNote integrates with Microsoft Office, so its interface is a familiar one. But OneNote isn't constrained like Word. In OneNote, you can click on any part of the page and start typing.
Each page can hold files so you can use it to store things together, like a journal with photos. Or a description of company travel with expense receipts. Just drag a file onto the page and OneNote asks if you want to attach the file or insert a printout. Attaching a file does just that, while attaching a printout will attach the file and display its contents on the page as an image.
Another strength of OneNote is collaboration. At work, my OneNote is stored on a server. I've sent links to all my colleagues so they can view its information when they need. Not only that, they can update it as required. If two people are on the same page at the same time, and both are updating it, there's no message about conflicts, both will see each other's typing appear in front of them.
This will also work if OneNote is stored in Microsoft's OneDrive. Updates to documents happen instantly and if for any reason the network connection is lost, then the document will remain on the device until the connection is restored and sync will happen automatically.
The software keeps page revisions and can display when the page was updated and who updated it. It also shows changes made in those revisions so they can be reverted to if required.
There are also freehand drawing tools so that words can be circled and basic shapes can be drawn in different colours, with different fills. Although easy to do with a mouse, these tools come into their own on a touch screen device.
And some of the touch screen devices OneNote can run on are Microsoft's Surface, Apple's iPad, Samsung tablets and a range of other devices including smartphones. It's also available for Mac, Windows, Android devices, Apple devices, Amazon devices and Google's Chromebook. If you don't have one of those then you can sign in at www.onenote.com/ and all your notebooks will be available.
You can take photos of business cards, whiteboards, documents, anything really, and save it directly to OneNote using an app on your tablet or phone called Office Lens. OneNote will then scan the image and extract text and contact details which are available for searching within OneNote.
While all this may seem fine, moving to OneNote begs the question: What about all my notes in Evernote?
In response, Microsoft has created an application to import Evernote notes into OneNote.
To import your Evernote notes to OneNote you'll need to download the OneNote importer from here. Head here if you have any questions about the import.
Importing your notes doesn't remove them from Evernote, so you can return if you wish.
Once the import is completed, you can download OneNote from www.onenote.com/. As mentioned, it's free and couples with OneDrive for storing your data.
OneNote is ideal software for churches. You can store contact details, to-do lists, plan events - all kinds of things that need collaboration. Data can be stored in the in the cloud on a free 5GB Microsoft OneDrive account or a company file server. Either way, data is stored locally on the computer for speed and off the computer for safety. OneNote will sync it in the background.

Boaz is a PhD student in the field of Psychology at Tel Aviv University. His research focuses on intergroup conflicts, socio-psychological barriers to peace-making, and the means to change conflict-supportive attitudes in order to end these conflicts as peacefully as possible. Boaz is working to develop psychological interventions which are based on the paradigm of 'paradoxical thinking', and thus contribute to the existing knowledge on attitude change and persuasion. He hopes this will lead to new interventions that can be applied in cases of intractable conflicts such as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

AUGUSTA, Ga. >> Jordan Spieth picked up right where he left off a year ago.
Just another birdie-filled round at the Masters.
Looking very much like the player who romped to a dominating victory a year ago, the 22-year-old Texan threw up a 6-under 66 on a breezy Thursday at Augusta National to claim a familiar position: the top spot on the leaderboard.
Spieth set a tournament record with 28 birdies in 2015, leading after every round on the way to an 18-under score and his first major title. That sparked one of the great years in golf history, as he went on to capture the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay, just missed out on a playoff in the British Open, and took the runner-up spot behind Jason Day at the PGA Championship.
Day is now the top-ranked player in the world and came into the Masters as the betting favorite. He certainly looked the part playing in the afternoon, shooting a 5-under 31 on the front side to pull within one stroke of the lead.
Don't expect Spieth to shy away from the challenge.
"We just stay patient with what we're doing," he said. "We know how to win this golf tournament."
Spieth rolled in six birdies — all from within 15 feet — and stayed away from bogey with some impressive saves, most notably at the par-3 fourth, where he pulled off a delicate up-and-down from a treacherous side of the green.
After the putt rolled in, Spieth pumped his fist.
"That keeps momentum there," he said.
Even though the course was softened overnight by strong thunderstorms, the wind whipping across Augusta National made it tough to go low. It didn't seem to bother Spieth, who is trying to become only the fourth player to win back-to-back titles.
Tiger Woods was the last to do it in 2001 and 2002. The others: Jack Nicklaus and Nick Faldo.
Among the early finishers, England's Paul Casey and Justin Rose were Spieth's closest challengers, each shooting a 69. Four-time major winner Rory McIlroy, who is only missing the Masters from his career Grand Slam, teed off in the final group of the day.
One big name shot himself out of the tournament on the very first hole.
Ernie Els seven-putted — yep, SEVEN — on the way to a sextuple-bogey 10, the highest score ever on the 445-yard hole known as "Tea Olive." No one had ever posted higher than an 8.
What made the scene even more surreal, Els' first putt was a mere 2-footer for par, and his longest attempt was just 4 feet, the ball rolling back and forth past the cup in a scene that would've made even a weekend duffer cringe.
Then, with his frustration boiling over, the Big Easy carelessly missed from less than a foot with a sloppy one-handed swat.
Rickie Fowler, perhaps the best player without a major title, ruined his hopes as well on Day One.
His opening drive went sailed into the trees, leading to a double-bogey, and he found both the trees and the creek on No. 13, taking a triple-bogey on the par-5 hole that often gives up plenty of birdies and eagles. At the 16th, Fowler dunked another ball in the water, leading to his second double-bogey of the round.
He finished with an 80, his worst score ever at the Masters.
On the 30th anniversary of his sixth and last Masters title, Nicklaus joined Gary Player to hit the ceremonial opening tee shots shortly after sunrise. Arnold Palmer could only watch, having decided not to swing the club this year because of health issues.
The 86-year-old Palmer did ride a cart out to the first tee, offering that familiar wink and thumbs-up. He also posed for a picture with his two longtime rivals and friends, who combined to win seven straight Masters in the 1960s and collectively won 34 major championships.
Player, the 80-year-old South African who said he prepared by doing 1,300 sit-ups and crunches, belted his drive down the middle. The 76-year-old Nicklaus hit it higher and shorter.
"Gary won his tournament this year," Nicklaus said with a grin. "I hit a pop-up."
"I wouldn't be too concerned about me outdriving you too much," Player replied, "because you did it to me for 50 damn years."
But this moment was all about Palmer.
"It was gratifying and sad, because everything shall pass," Player said. "But it was nice to have him on the tee. I dedicated my first tee shot to him in respect. It's a very special moment."
After the original "Big Three" stepped aside, the 80th Masters began for real.

Now is the time to revisit some of the fundamental grammar/language learning tasks such as grammar acquisition, language acquisition, language change, and the general problem of automatically inferring generic representations of language structure in a data driven manner. Though the underlying problems have been known to be computationally intractable for the standard representations of the Chomsky hierarchy, such as regular grammars and context free grammars, progress has been made by modifying or restricting these classes to make them more observable. Generalisations of distributional learning have shown promise in unsupervised learning of linguistic structure using tree based representations, or using non-parametric approaches to inference. More radically, significant advances in this domain have been made by switching to different representations such as the work in Clark, Eyrand & Habrard (2008) that addresses the issue of language acquisition, but has the potential to cross-fertilise a wide range of problems that require data driven representations of language. Such approaches are starting to make inroads into one of the fundamental problems of cognitive science: that of learning complex representations that encode meaning. This adds a further motivation for returning to this topic at this point. Grammar induction was the subject of an intense study in the early days of Computational Learning Theory, with the theory of query learning largely developing out of this research. More recently the study of new methods of representing language and grammars through complex kernels and probabilistic modelling together with algorithms such as structured output learning has enabled machine learning methods to be applied successfully to a range of language related tasks from simple topic classification through parts of speech tagging to statistical machine translation. These methods typically rely on more fluid structures than those derived from formal grammars and yet are able to compete favourably with classical grammatical approaches that require significant input from domain experts, often in the form of annotated data.

The YouTube channel Humaramovie has come up with an innovative mentorship program that saw acclaimed filmmakers train the aspiring ones to direct seven short films, based on the same theme — noise.
Titled Shor Se Shuruaat, the cocktail of seven films hit the theatres this week. While noise serves as the common theme in all these films, the reviews suggest that only a few manage to make the right noise. While the technical aspects of all the films were appreciated across all quarters, some of the films were blamed for overindulging in the method which took away from the content.
Hell O Hello Can you hear me?
Kunal Guha of Mumbai Mirror reviews it and says, "Painfully repetitive, it swiftly dwarfs your senses by ending up like a Tarak Mehta episode on LSD."
IANS reviews the short film and says, "It is an intelligently scripted satire about consumerism. Strategically placed in the anthology, the film, brings with it nuggets of light moments that elevate the sagging viewing spirit."
Mumbai Mirror reviews, "It extracts Atul Kulkarni's best and even while the story (about an idealist journalist's tryst with society's prejudices) offers only as much, the actor manages to lift the film single-handedly. Just for that one scene where he effectively channels his character's contained resentment, he proves that he is the most proficient of the cast."
IANS reviews, "It is a layered drama that is intensely narrated in a non-linear fashion."
Mumbai Mirror reviews, "Sharma adopts an almost-Wes Anderson style of narration in delivering the seemingly mundane in a singularly prophetic manner. While her interpretation leads us to believe that, with a little help, each of us can snub out the shor (noise) in our lives, her distinct visual aesthetic elevates the film from the rest."
IANS reviews, "Creatively mounted in a montage narrative, the film is layered with glossed up frames and a verbose and lyrical narrative. The story may seem strange and silly but nevertheless, you cannot dismiss this film."
Reza Noorani of the Times of India reviews the film and says, "It tells its story in a refreshing manner. Though an overkill of style and colour, it leaves you happy."
Mumbai Mirror reviews, "While it's obvious how her story culminates, Bhargava captures the sights and sounds of the city with much passion and skill."
IANS reviews, "Though well executed in a formulaic graph, the film exhibits a sense of familiarity and thus loses out on the novelty factor. The little boy who plays Aamer is charming, but lacks charisma and thus fails to tug at your emotional chords."
Mumbai Mirror reviews, "It leans heavily on performances. About a jail inmate (Sanjay Mishra) awaiting capital punishment, this one says more than it literally does. The pronounced creases on the convict's face as he rubs his hands over it, compel one to tune in to his innermost thoughts, even picture the nefarious crime that reduced him to his present state."
IANS reviews, "With an undoubtedly intense performance from Sanjay Mishra, the film is astutely handled, and the prisoner's anxiety is palpable."
Mumbai Mirror reviews, "Much like a low-budget Black Mirror episode, this one paints a future where humankind is forced to seek assisted sleeping, with doctored sounds or lack of it."
IANS reviews, "Treated as a science fiction in a synthetic atmosphere, the film seems a tad superficial with a pretentious and absurd tale. On the performance front, the actors essay their parts effortlessly."
Mumbai Mirror reviews, " While this revenge drama may have a substantial-enough plot to work with, the execution is somewhere between college project and home video."
The Times of India reviews, "It has a lot of strong moments and talks about teenage angst and how one bounces back after life-altering events."
Overall, the film has received mixed reviews from the critics.
Mumbai Mirror gives it a rating of 3 stars and says, "This may be a noble idea — getting established filmmakers to hand-hold young amateurs to pick up the nuances of the craft. But it isn't an entirely successful experiment as the learned fail to help their students navigate the pitfalls, as most seem consumed by technique and less by their original idea."
IANS gives it a rating of 2.5 stars and says, "All films, made on moderate production values, excel in the technical aspects, especially the sound department. Overall, this film is worth a watch to encourage these budding directors and to know the type of films these directors will churn out in future."
The Times of India gives it a rating of 3.5 stars and says, "The performances are strong, especially those by Sanjay Mishra, Vijay Maurya, Pawan Manda Kale and Baia Marbaniang, the last two who are untrained actors. Overall, Shor Se Shuruat is like a string of crackers where some burst beautifully while a few just make noise."


Dazzling with set diamond hour markers, this Formula 1 watch by TAG Heuer is a classic timepiece. A white mother of pearl dial holds three soft silver hands moving with precision, and a handy date display is placed at the 3-o-clock position. The sturdy stainless steel casing co-ordinates with the timeless silver tone bracelet. This watch is water resistant up to 100 metres.

For example is a 24 metre section of drainage pipe has a fall of 0. For example, calculate the fall in a 50 metre section of foul water pipework if the gradient is to be 1 in The Invert Level of a pipe is the level taken from the love sketches easy of the inside of the pipe as shown below.
The level at the crown of the pipe is the Invert level plus the internal diameter of the pipe plus the pipe wall thickness.
It may be necessary to use this in calculations when level measurements are taken from the crown of a pipe. A manhole or access chamber is required to gain access to a drainage system for un-blocking, cleaning, rodding or inspection. A typical manhole is shown below. Manholes may be manufactured from masonry or precast concrete. Sometimes several precast concrete rings are used to form a manhole which speeds up the on-site construction process.
Normally deep manholes below 1. Manholes and access chambers are also manufactured in PVC. An access chamber is not usually large enough to admit a person but is suitable for access by cleaning rods or hose and they are used for domestic applications, a common size of plastic access chamber is mm diameter.
For the domestic market plastic, fibreglass or galvanised steel lids may be used but cast iron lids are required where traffic crosses. If the undergroung sewer pipe is to stay below ground it must follow the average gradient of the slope. This invariably means that the pipe gradient becomes too steepresulting in the solids being left stranded in the pipe therefore causing a blockage.
An easier way to construct a back drop manhole is to use an internal vertical section of pipe as shown below. Your Wyre Online Sign in Register? In Your Area Enter your postcode.

Any blockage or restrictions in the system may result in water backing onto or under the roof membrane.
Horizontal pipe capacity must be checked as part of an adequate design. When placing roof drains, it is good design practice to locate the drains no more than 50 feet from the roof perimeter, nor more than feet apart.
It is important to remember that no roof area should ever have less than two roof drains. Size and placement of rooftop equipment may necessitate additional roof drains.

If the slope is too steep, the liquid waste won't sufficiently push the solid waste through the pipe. If the slope is too gradual, neither liquid or solid will drain. Local plumbing codes prescribe the standards for building residential drain, waste and vent piping systems. Along with knowledge of local regulations, an understanding of conventional drain system construction allows you to determine which drainpipes you must slope and how steep to pitch them.
Drain piping exists within a larger system called the drain waste and vent system. Drain and waste pipes deliver liquid and solid waste from plumbing fixtures to septic or sewer systems. Vent piping allows sewer gases to escape the system and admits air to regulate the system's pressure and prevent siphonage from drain traps.
While vent piping generally runs straight to the building's roof in a vertical path, drain and waste branch pipes must slope toward main drainpipes, which slope toward main drain outlets.
Plumbers and building authorities express slope in either percent grade or inches per 1-foot unit. Expressing slope in percentage form allows builders to quickly apply the information to U. For example, multiplying 12 inches by 2 percent, or 0.
Drainpipe sloping requirements vary according to the pipe's diameter. Smaller pipes are more likely to experience blockages than larger pipes and therefore require a steeper slope.
But some codes advise steeper slopes for long runs of pipe, such as 50 feet or longer. Check with a local contractor or your building authority for definitive slope specifications. Spirit levels are the most common tools for gauging slope. Spirit levels consist of several liquid-filled vials set within a bar-shaped body. Plumbers place the level on top of a pipe and note the position of bubbles in the vials to determine slope.
Alternatively, if you have a dependable frame of reference, such as string line that spans the pipe's horizontal distance, or "run," you can use a tape measure to gauge the difference in height between the opposite ends of the pipe. If you divide both the run and the decrease in height by 12 inches, you determine the ratio that represents the pipe's downward slope in inches per foot of run.
How Much to Slope the Drain Piping? Shane Grey. Pin Share Tweet Share Email. Man working on sink drain. About Drain, Waste and Vent Systems. Pipe Slope and Pitch Terminology. Slope of Drain and Waste Pipes. Tools for Gauging Slope.Accurately calculating the slope of your drain pipe is essential to the proper function of your plumbing fixtures. Calculating the slope of your drain pipe is easy.
The first thing you need to do is take measurements. You need to know the distance the waste line has to travel before you can do anything else. This can sometimes be very difficult, depending on the location of the line. However, it is absolutely necessary. Once you know the length of the waste line, you can plan the drain route. Some drains will travel in a straight line, others will bend, and others will make 90 degree turns.
Use a pencil and paper to map your drain route, remembering that you want to keep the drain as short as possible. The longer the drain, the greater the chance of clogs in the future. With the length and route of your waste line, you can determine the length of the piping.
You need to purchase plumbing pipe in the length you calculated from taking measurements and routing the waste line. They will have a wide variety of pipe connectors. With the final drain length available, you can finally calculate the slope. Calculating the slope of your drain pipe may be that simple, or it might be a bit more involved. If your drain route requires a bend or turn, you have to calculate the slope of each piece of pipe separately.
If you have to route a longer drain pipe without a lot of space, you may opt for a deeper slope up to the maximum of three inches per foot. For example, if you want to route that same foot drain pipe at a slope of three inches per foot, the drain has to slope a total of 45 inches from start to finish.
To determine the total slope, you will multiply three by Tip: When you purchase your pipe and fittings, get some pipe hangers. There are J hooks sized for the piping and these are the simplest type of hanger. Start at the beginning of your run with the first hanger and use the torpedo level on your next hanger location, usually four feet from the first.
Continue this and as you get to the end of your run, the bubble on the level should be breaking the level lines opposite the direction your pipe is running. We welcome your comments and suggestions.

Step 3 - Determine Drain Length With the length and route of your waste line, you can determine the length of the piping.Proper slope of gravity drainage and sewer pipes is important so that liquids flow smoothly, which helps transport solids away without clogging. A pipe that is too flat will prevent waste from flowing away. It is also commonly thought that pipes that are too steep will allow liquids to flow so quickly that solids will not be carried away. Drainage pipes are usually run at the minimum allowable slope so that ceilings can be kept as high as possible.
According to the International Plumbing Code, drainage pipes should be run with a uniform slope at the following minimum pitches:. Large sewer lines require calculations to determine the proper pitch.
In general, sewer mains should be designed to have a flow rate of 2 feet-per-second during peak dry-weather conditions. Flow rates are usually kept below 10 feet per second. For flow rates greater than 10 feet-per-second, the pipes should be designed with anchors or other means of preventing the pipe from shifting.

It can be expressed as a percentage when divided by the length of the pipe. This is the pipe's slope, or gradient. The two terms are typically used interchangeably on construction sites, which can cause some confusion. Figuring out this percentage is quite easy mathematically, but requires a bit of work to get the numbers necessary. Dig down to the sewer pipe at either end of the section whose percentage fall you wish to measure.
Establish a baseline height to measure from. The easiest way to do this is to hammer wooden stakes into the ground at either end of the pipe, then tie a string, and make it taut, between them. Set a string level on the string, then hammer the stakes in until the level's bubble shows that the string is perfectly level. Measure the distance from the top of each end of the pipe to the string above it.
Subtract the smaller distance from the larger one. This is the vertical fall of the pipe. Divide the pipe's vertical fall by the length of the pipe, then multiply the result by to find the percentage. The fall and length need to be in the same units feet or inches for this to work.
For example, if the pipe fell by one foot and was 50 feet long, you divide 1 by 50 to get 0. Multiplied bythat becomes 2 percent, which is your slope or gradient.

The Provincial Building and Construction Trades Council of Ontario (PBCTCO) has released a statement to affirm there is zero tolerance for racism in construction.
"There is no place for racist activity on any construction site in Ontario," said Patrick Dillon, business manager for PBCTCO. "Recent events in Toronto have reminded us that there is more work to do in fighting racism and promoting a more inclusive culture. The Ontario Building Trades Council has zero tolerance for any form of racism or intimidation. These hate crimes do not reflect the hardworking women and men who work together to build a better Ontario."
"Our members build an Ontario for everyone's benefit regardless of race, gender, age, sexual orientation, or ability. An attack on one community is an attack on all of us," said Dillon. "Recent events both in Canada and the United States have highlighted the need for more work to deal with systemic racism, especially anti-black racism. We need to do more and the Ontario Building Trades are ready to work with employers and community organizations to find solutions that make our communities better, healthier and more inclusive."
The council's statement of principles on workplace equity states:
The PBCTCO is committed to striving for racial equality and worker solidarity. Discriminatory actions, including acts of intimidation in the construction workplace, are completely unacceptable and the council has a zero tolerance policy towards such acts. The Building Trades fight for, and continue to advance the collective interests of workers which can only be achieved when workers feel safe at work. Securing workplaces free from harassment, intimidation, and discrimination of any worker based on his or her ancestry, race, religion, or any other difference, is the goal of the council. Diversity enriches our communities and respectful workplaces are a key ingredient to an inclusive society.

Loss-of-function mutations in the pore-forming α subunit of the voltage-gated sodium channel 1.7 (Nav1.7) cause congenital indifference to pain and anosmia. We used immunohistochemical techniques to study Nav1.7 localization in the rat olfactory system in order to better understand its role in olfaction. We confirm that Nav1.7 is expressed on olfactory sensory axons and report its presence on vomeronasal axons, indicating an important role for Nav1.7 in transmission of pheromonal cues. Following neuroepithelial injury, Nav1.7 was transiently expressed by cells of monocytic lineage. These findings support an emerging role for Nav1.7 in immune function.

The largest genetic study of an Asian population reaches its first milestone - IndiaBioscience
indiabioscience March 13, 2020, 4:44am #1
The Genome Asia 100K Project, launched in 2016, aims to sequence the genomes of 100,000 Asian individuals to address the underrepresentation of non-European populations in most published genomics studies. The first pilot phase of the project was completed recently, with the publication of 1739 genomes sequences from samples spread across 64 different Asian countries.
The genes of a population tell the story of its members – their ancestry, their health, and their chances of getting a disease. Scientists have now studied the complete set of genes of 1739 people from different ethnic populations in Asia. The study is the largest of its kind conducted in an Asian population and was carried out by a group of scientists from several Asian countries and the USA – the GenomeAsia100K consortium.
Eight Indian institutions were involved in the study viz., National Institute of Biomedical Genetics (NIBMG), Kalyani; SciGenom Research Foundation (SGRF), Chennai; MedGenome Labs, Bangalore; Indian Statistical Institute (ISI), Kolkata; SRM Institute of Science & Technology (SRMIST), Chennai; Narayana Nethralaya Foundation, Bangalore; Madras Diabetes Research Foundation (MDRF), Chennai; and Dr Mohan's Diabetes Specialities Centre, Chennai.
Despite being the most populous continent, Asian populations are often under-represented in global genomic studies. Recognizing this gap, the consortium embarked on a project to study the genomes of 100,000 people residing in Asia – GenomeAsia100K project.
"A point on the DNA (gene locus) that is informative in one population, or even in all populations of a geographical region, may not be informative in other populations," Partha P Majumder, Founder and Distinguished Professor at NIBMG says, "This is because of different population ancestries and demographic histories of populations."
The project is aimed to generate high-quality DNA sequences of 100,000 people and thereby characterize the variations at gene loci, understand genomic ancestries, and get medically relevant information for Asian populations.
The pilot phase of the project, which is now published, marked the milestone of reaching about one-fifth of the target. This phase included sequencing and analysis of the genomes of 1739 people from 219 populations of Asia spread across 64 countries. Of these, 598 were from India – the largest number of people from a single country. Majumder collected the DNA samples of people from many tribal and non-tribal populations from different regions of India over a period of 30 years.

Other groups from India were also instrumental in collecting samples from unique ethnic populations. "We sequenced the genomes of people from the Irula tribe of Tamil Nadu," Parani M, Professor and Head, Department of Genetic Engineering, SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai, says. The Irula tribe is an ethnic group that has not interbred with other groups and its people are adept at finding and catching venomous snakes by hand.
The study found some interesting data that was missing in the earlier databases. "Comparing our data of Asians with those available in the public databases, we found about 200,000 informative points on the DNA – DNA markers – in the Asian individuals that were unreported in the existing databases. These are novel DNA variants in Asians," Majumder says,"We found that 23% of protein-altering DNA variants were unreported in existing databases."
The study revealed some medically important details – that a certain change in the DNA sequence of a gene called NEUROD1 could cause a specific kind of diabetes in Asians, a specific variation found exclusively in South Indians in the DNA sequence of the Haemoglobin gene could make them more prone to beta-thalassemia, and that certain DNA variations found specifically in Asians in BRCA1 and BRCA2genes could make them susceptible to breast cancer.
"It is critical to study genomes. Today, through Genome [studies], we are relearning how language, culture, food, environment, behaviour have shaped humans," Moinak Banerjee, Scientist G, Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology, who was not involved in the study, says.
Banerjee underscores the importance of collaborations from different quarters in such studies. He explains that different expert communities working in isolation with individual biases will result in a lot of noise. "Genomics can dissect and help understand the noise in the data generated by anthropologists and public health experts. So, collaborations are a must," Banerjee says.
The published results form only a small part of the story. Once the project is complete, the genomes of 100,000 Asians will portray a detailed picture of the Asian population. India, on its own, is headed in this direction with the launch of Genome India – an initiative to catalogue the genome data of 10,000 Indians.

HOW MUCH AIR POLLUTION DO FIRECRACKERS CAUSE? | FIRECRACKERS & AIR POLLUTION
#Trending EP 8
Diwali is the biggest and most loved festival in all of India. Every Indian irrespective of his/her religion, caste and creed celebrate this festival of lights with equal enthussiam. People exchange gifts, light diyas, buy new clothes, buy gold and silver and ofcourse people burst firecrackers.
Over the last few years or so, we have seen a constant debate on whether we should do away with firecrackers and celebrate diwali without them. Many of us support an eco friendly diwali, whereas many of us believe that will take away the charm from this festival. Having said so, do firecrackers really pollute so much? If yes, then how much? This video shall tell you exactly how much!

10 THINGS ABOUT RAVANA THEY WON'T TELL US IN STORIES | RAVANA UNKNOWN FACTS
Ravan can easily be considered as the greatest villian in hindu mythology. Every Indian, be it a Hindu or a non-hindu, is aware of him and many even argue whether he was a villian or just an anti hero. There has always been a debate on whether he really was a bad man or not. He is often seen someone who respects the integrity of a woman, be it his sister or a woman he desires.
Ravan was powerful, a great warrior and an intelligent man who is perhaps the greatest ruler in all of Asia.
Having said so, there are many facts and details about the greatest lankan emperor that have not been highlighted by the story tellers over the years. And these things are something our generation needs to know. This video makes an attempt to throw light on certain facts about Ravana, many of us may not have been aware of.
Every iPhone vs Samsung Battle Ever | iPhone 8 vs Galaxy S8 | iPhone X vs Galaxy S8
Just like there is a Jerry for every Tom, there is a certain Samsung Galaxy for every iPhone. And these two have been barking at each other for quite some time now. iPhone was first revealed in 2007 and since 2010 Samsung & Apple have been battling out for bragging rights.
The recent launch of iPhone 8 & iPhone X have changed the ball game, especially because of the iPhone X. Though the Samsung Galaxy S8 is superbly fabulous, the first impression of the iPhone X suggests that S8 shall fall short of winning this year.
Having said so, iPhone was always expensive and beyond the reach of commen people. But Samsung was reasonably priced. But since the last two years or so, we have seen even the Galaxy Series going beyond the reach of the average consumer. This smartphone battle between Apple & Samsung has come down to merely defeating each other, and not for the benefit of the consumer. No wonder the likes of OnePlus & Asus are gaining popularity in the smartphone market. Hopefully this video has entertained and informed you at the same time.

The Cali Cartel | Everything you need to know of the Cali Cartel | Cali Cartel History | Cali Cartel Explained
The Netflix Original Series Narcos exposed us all to the dirty business of cocaine. What started off with Pablo Escobar and the Medellin Cartel, has now showed us the Cali Cartel in Season 3. Cali Cartel, also known as Cali's Gentlemen, was led by Gilberto Rodriguez, Miguel Rodriguex, Jose Santacruz (Chepe) and Pacho Herrera. The Cartel operated like a Fortune 500 company and was contributed to 80% of world's cocaine market. The cartel is held directly responsible for the growth of cocaine in Europe.
Just like the Medellin Cartel, the Cali Cartel was on the DEA's radar. Once Pablo was killed, the DEA went all guns blazing after the Cali Cartel. Soon all the leaders were arrested and in 2006 the Rodriguez brothers were extradited to the US where they plead guilty.

Game of Thrones is undoubtedly the biggest show in the world right now. George RR Martin not only gave us an incredible storyline, but also introduced us to dragons. Before Game of Thrones got all popular in India, our only exposure to dragons was when we saw them painted outside those cheap chinese food joints. But Drogon, Viseriyon and Rhaegal weren't the first dragons in the Game of Thrones universe. So where did it all begin? How did Targaryens tame these mighty beasts?

Winter weather has made its way to the UK. Combine the cold with short days and it makes me what to cuddle up to a good book with a cup of hot chocolate. I joined a book club here in London and, so far, I've read two of their selections: In the Garden of the Beasts (Erik Larson) and Gone Girl (Gillian Flynn). Both are books I wouldn't have picked up on my own and that's one reason for belonging to a club~ gets me out of my comfort zone.
The Garden of the Beasts (non-fiction) is a fascinating account of the newly appointed US Ambassador to Germany in 1933. As much as I've read/studied about World War II, I found this book to be a fresh perspective of a mild-mannered college professor who became Ambassador by default and his rather wild, promiscuous and ambitious daughter. It was impossible for me to read it without a deep sense of foreboding ~ not unlike watching the movie "Titanic" or "Dances with Wolves." Hindsight affords us the knowledge of what happens in the end and, as we all know, it's not a happily ever after even for the survivors/victors.
Gone Girl (fiction) is currently #8 on the New York Times best sellers list. It's a quick read with lots of twists and turns. I found it difficult to like the characters and it was even more disconcerting because I found them to be deeply flawed but surprisingly realistic. I've known people who are like Nick, Amy, the parents, etc. Not to the extent they're portrayed in the book but muted variations. What kept me most interested though is the fast-paced, sharp and tense writing style. The story alternates 1st person between the Nick, the husband and Amy, the wife. I don't want to say much about the storyline because just describing it might give away too much.
Next month's book selection is the classic: To Kill a Mockingbird (Harper Lee). I read it in the dark ages High School ~ great book, great story but I'm not sure I want to re-read it now. May skip next month's meeting and move onto the February selection which is Bringing Up the Bodies (Hilary Mantel). I'm half way through her first book Wolf Hall and it's fabulous!
Yesterday, the book club luncheon included a "book exchange", and since I was the last to pick, I stole away with The Days and Nights of London Now ~ as Told by Those Who Love It, Hate It, Live It, Left It and Long For It LONDONERS (Craig Taylor). It definitely wins the prize for longest titled book I'll be reading this year. I was very excited about the book until I read the author is Canadian. For some reason, I assumed a book with that lofty London title would surely be written (compiled) by a Londoner.
The book I took to be exchanged was The Ambassador's Suitcase (Matthew Parris) which my friend Leslie ended up with whichs works out well. We can trade books after we've read our own books. Originally, I ordered the action packed novel One Rough Man (Brad Taylor) to take to the book exchange. I wrote a review on it last year here. Unfortunately, it didn't make it in time so I decided to do this book giveaway. Also, my copy of Gone Girl is in pristine condition and it's not a book I'm likely to re-read so I'm giving that away as well.
GIVEAWAY DETAILS: Please leave a comment beginning with "The best book I've read in a long time is…" Also, if you want to be considered for one specific book, please write either One Rough Man or Gone Girl. Otherwise, I'll put your name in for both. It will be possible for one person to win both books. The winner will be chosen by my daughter, Logan who will pull a name from a hat for One Rough Man and then she'll draw a name from the other "hat" with those who want to be in the running for Gone Girl. I know, I can't get any more "low tech" than that but it's more fun this way. Deadline to leave a comment will be Sunday, 9 December 2012 at midnight (GMT/London time). We'll choose names on Monday, 10 December. FYI both are hardcover books which I'll mail to you if you win.
Valerie ~ Thanks for the suggestion ~ I'll be sure to add The Hare with Amber Eyes to my reading list. I'm working my way through "Bringing up the Bodies" for my book club.
Almost forgot about this, thanks for the reminder… and we'll go for One Rough Man 😉 The best book I've read in a long time is… The Lady of Bolton Castle by Elizabeth Camden- historical Christian romance, fast-paced- it's rare that I want to reread a book, but this is one that I want to read again (unfortunately it's still packed from our PCS 4+ months ago, bummer).
"The best book I've read in a long time is…" Secret Daughter by Shilpi Somaya Gowda. It has been awhile since I have read this book, but it is one I will not forget. I also love The Christmas Tree by Julie Salamon, it is a nice seasonal read.
Dee: Both books sound interesting and I love reading seasonal books. As well as books of the location I'm currently living in. When in DC I read a lot of spy novels that took place in part there and now it's all about London/UK locales.
Oh, my…haven't read "Fifty Shades" but, if that's the only book you've read in the last 10 years, I'll keep my fingers crossed that Logan pulls your name from the hat. You need some variety 😉 I would recommend you join a local book club (check the library for clubs) ~ it's always interesting to hear other peoples opinions on a book. Sometimes it's opposite of what I thought of a book. And check out the suggestions above ~ maybe one of those will interest you.
I've read so much recently with surgeries and such. My favorite recent is "Where Men Win Glory." Not a happy read but powerful nonetheless. Reading "Pillars of the Earth" now and trying to get into it. I LOVE getting your book suggestions, I just ad them to my amazon wish list:). Hope all is well for you three in the UK!
Hi Kelly: Hope you're feeling well these days and are ready for the fast approaching holidays. We're loving our time in London except our year here is flying by way too fast. We're definitely going to run out of time before we see/do everything we want to do.
I read "Pillars of the Earth" years ago and enjoyed it. I do remember it taking awhile to "get into it" but once I did, it flowed much more quickly.
I've been thinking about reading "The No 1 Ladies Detective Agency" but wasn't sure until your recommendation. I'll give the series a try.
Philippa Gregory's books are great. I've read a few but not "The Contant Princess." She's a fabulous writer! Thanks for helping me add to my reading list.
The best book I've read in a long time is ……hmmm can't think of anything I have read lately that I would recommend….I have been reading easy things that I find on the Library electronic site. I am hoping to get "Unbroken" from my mom at Christmas. I started both "Wicked" and "Fall of the Giants" and haven't finished either one. I also found Girl Gone a good read….I thought I had solved the mystery early on (I thought it was his Dad) and was shocked as it went on. At times I was very unhappy with the characters…..they were very easy to not like at all.
Are you not liking "Wicked" or just no time? I enjoyed Wicked (read it years ago) ~ reminded me that it's all about perspective. I agree with you about Gone Girl re: the characters but wasn't the writing style excellent?
I'll put you in for "One Rough Man" only since you've already read Gone Girl. Terry might like it as well since it's written by a former Special Forces Officer and is not chick lit.
Hi Patti! I'm in a book club also, and although I never seem to have enough time, like you it's caused me to read books that I wouldn't have picked up otherwise, so I love it. We are currently reading "The Happiness Project" and I really like it so far. 🙂 Please put me in the running for Gone Girl (pick me Logan!). Hope you are well!
The book sounds interesting and one I wouldn't have thought to read. I'll add it to my list! Thanks!

USD 231 administrator pay increases
Sep 9, 2020 | Schools |
USD 231 Gardner-Edgerton says average teacher pay increased 3.3 percent in the 2019-20 school year, but some district administrators received increases that were two to three times as much. Student achievement, meanwhile, has dropped over the years and is much lower than parents are led to believe in Kansas.
Superintendent Pam Stranathan's pay increased 2.6 percent to $204,310 but the district confirms she also was provided with free family health coverage; the year before, she received free single coverage like all other employees. According to a report filed with the Kansas Department of Education, the added health coverage benefit cost about $14,000 more, pushing Stranathan's pay plus fringe benefits compensation to $224,983 (not counting KPERS retirement benefits). That's 9.2 percent more than USD 231 reported in pay and benefits for the previous year.
Finance Director Jeremy McFadden got a 7.4 percent pay increase to $149,724 and Jody Marshall, Human Resource Director was paid 10.8 percent more, at $148,025.
Other administrators getting large increases include Christi Whitter (6.4 percent to $135,150), Linda Miesner (34 percent to $127,425), Andrew Price (6.8 percent to $127,300), Heather Peeke (9.7 percent to $105,950), and Melissa McIntire (14.4 percent to $101,727). None of these pay amounts include fringe benefits.
The complete payroll listing is available at KansasOpenGov.org.
Pay increased but student achievement declined
The windfall from court-ordered and legislator-approved funding increase is pushing employee and administrator pay higher, but student achievement declined significantly over the last few years.
According to the 2015 state assessment, 52 percent of students tested (Grades 3-8 and 10) were on track for college and career in Math and 50 percent were on track in English Language Arts. But the most recent assessment from 2019 shows only 39 percent are on track in both Math and ELA.
Results for 10th-graders are even lower.
The 2019 state assessment results from the Kansas Department of Education shows 39 percent of 10th-graders in Gardner Edgerton are below grade level in Math; 40 percent are considered to be at grade level but still need remedial training to be on track for college and career, and only 21 percent are on track.
Results for English Language Arts – labeled here as Reading – are a bit better but still surprisingly low, with 26 percent below grade level. 42 percent are at grade level but still need remedial training and just 32 percent are on track for college and career.
State average results are also much lower than parents and employers are led to believe by school districts.
41 percent of students are below grade level in Math, and 34 percent are below grade level in Reading. Only about a quarter of the state's 10th-graders are on track for college and career.

Charity-minded Surrey roofer Lee Moran has been crowned the nation's top 'Local Hero' in the NFRC (National Federation of Roofing Contractors) 2018 UK Roofing Awards, sponsored by SIG Roofing.
Lee, whose family-run business Moran Roofing Specialists is based in Farnham, was recognised for his years of fundraising for the Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice, which cares for terminally ill people, as well as other good causes.
The NFRC UK Roofing Awards, compered this year by BBC presenter Dan Walker, recognise the outstanding workmanship and skill of roofing professionals nationwide. The 'Local Hero' Award was a new category introduced for 2018 to celebrate the fantastic work many roofers do in their local communities.
Lee has been raising funds since 2012. He was inspired by his stepfather, who also raises money for charity, along with the deaths at a young age of a friend and an uncle who each attended the Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice for their end of life treatment. His father Darryl also survived cancer a few years ago that spurred him on even more.
"It was really pleasing to be nominated for the Local Hero Award and a massive surprise to actually win it," he said.

Eagles Have Over-Taken "Thriller" as the Best Selling Album in the US with their "Gre
Photo From Stereogum
Something that has always been tricky for me about the Eagles is the name. It always shows up in Google and Spotify searches as just "Eagles", but if they're coming to town, no one ever says "Hey, are you going to see Eagles?" it's always "Hey, are you going to see THE Eagles?" Proper diction and articles aside, the answer to that question should always be yes. Eagles have something pretty monumental to be celebrating right now though. The baby boomers have proven that they are still the ones controlling the market when it comes to buying physical copies of music, and Eagles' "Greatest Hits" album has just surpassed Michael Jackson's "Thriller" as the top-selling album in the US.

Whether you get your rocks off living "Life in the Fast Lane", or you just prefer to "Take It Easy", you can't deny that Eagles have an extensive catalogue that has been a quintessential soundtrack in the lives of most people. If you don't believe me, maybe the 38 times platinum certification will change your mind. Throughout the extent of their career, Eagles have always flirted a fine line between country music and rock music. This perfect blend is definitely something they can attribute to their massive success, being easily accessible and relatable to people from all parts of the country. Today, we'll take a look back at the Eagles connection with country music, and just how it shaped the monumental band they became.
Photo From Eagles Online Central
The Eagles would never have come into existence if it wasn't for the groundwork put in with country superstar, Linda Ronstadt. Back in the 70's, LA was the place where the best band in every hometown gathered to battle it out for a shot at being the next big thing worldwide. Don Henley migrated from Texas with his band, Shiloh, to record a record with Kenny Rogers. He met with Glenn Frey, who was new on the scene from Detroit, at LA's iconic venue, The Troubadour. The two became further connected through their mutual label, and eventually started playing as the backing band for a then unknown, Linda Ronstadt. The two realized that they had a natural chemistry playing and writing together, and they could do a lot more than just accompany a great artist. While on tour, they told Linda that they intended to branch out on their own, and she couldn't have been more supportive. In fact, she even got them connected with other founding member, Bernie Leadon.

Even though he famously left the band in 1975 by pouring a beer over Glenn Frey's head, Bernie Leadon was a crucial part of the early sound of the Eagles, and definitely a prime influence of their more country sounds. When Bernie was introduced to Don and Glenn, he already had quite a bit of clout to his name. He was a founding member of the influential country-rock groups Hearts & Flowers, Dillard & Clark, and most famously, the Flying Burrito Brothers with Gram Parsons. Leadon was an excessively versatile player, playing guitar, banjo, mandolin, dobro and pedal steel, all with finesse and confidence. When they released their debut eponymous album, it was met with instant success. This was largely due to the three HIT singles, "Take It Easy", "Peaceful Easy Feeling" and "Witchy Woman", (or as it's referred to on Seinfeld, Witch-AY Woman) all of which were co-written by Leadon and showed off his instrumental prowess.

When it came time for a follow-up to their wildly successful debut, Eagles went into the studio with a new idea. Glenn wanted to do something that would get other artists to take them more seriously. The idea was a concept album based around anti-heroes. While jamming with Jackson Browne, Jackson brought up a book that he had been gifted on gunslingers in the Wild West, and the theme for the album was quickly decided. Not long after that, Don and Glenn wrote the titular track, "Desperado", and the cowboy-themed record was ready to begin. According to Leadon, Glenn mapped out all of the characters in his fantasy western world. He explained which characters could have songs written about them or from their perspective, and he encouraged the band to get in the heads of these characters. Although the album only saw modest commercial success, with the lead single "Tequila Sunrise" peaking at 41 on the charts, compositionally, the album stands strong as one of their finest and most cohesive works. The parallels between the outlaw western life and the life of a rock and roll musician are outlined beautifully throughout the record, and I challenge anyone of you out there to make it through the song "Desperado" without tears rolling down your face.

Fast-forward to 2016. Yes we passed all the crazy years with the introduction of Joe Walsh, the break-up drama, the bitter hatred and then the eventual reunion, but for the sake of their country connections, let's just move on to 2016. On January 18th, 2016, the world lost the legendary Glenn Frey. Eagles fan's across the globe mourned the loss and the fact that many of them would never see their favorite band again. And for a year, there was nothing. However, they didn't feel like they were done yet. I heard a recent interview with Joe Walsh, questioning what the motives behind this reunion were. It wasn't about the money, they all had plenty of money. It was genuinely because they all just love playing music and they didn't feel like it was time for them to quit. In March of 2017, a string of Eagles shows were announced with Glenn Frey's son Deacon, and the legendary country artist, Vince Gill. Vince's smooth-as-butter voice and uniquely himself style of guitar playing filled a lot of the cracks left by the loss of Glenn. According to Vince, it had always been a dream of his to play with the Eagles.
Photo From Phoenix New Times
Although no one could ever truly replace Glenn, the current line-up truly seems to be something special. I've seen Eagles twice in my life-time, and both times have been such surreal experiences. To see thousands of people from all generations and backgrounds come together and know seriously EVERY SINGLE WORD for a set that lasts at least two hours, that's not something that just any band can bring out. It's no wonder to me that they now officially have the best-selling US album of all time, and to them I wish them a big ol' CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!


DSEC's commitment on the construction of Biodiesel plants is based on a very specialized technical knowledge of the Biofuels production processes; in this article you will find a more detailed understanding about the process of Methanol Rectification and Glycerin Purification.
The methanol coming from the upstream process units is fed to the rectification column.
The methanol is recycled to reactor loop circuits.
The purpose of this section is the acidification of the raw glycerin stream, in order to neutralize the residual catalyst and to split the soaps formed during transesterification. Subsequently, the fatty acids derived from soap splitting are separated and the pH of the purified glycerin is finally adjusted.
The neutralized glycerin stream coming from the neutralization is sent to the next step to remove the residual methanol still present.
The neutralized glycerin stream coming from the soaps splitting section is sent to the methanol flash distillation circuit.


TRESemmé stylists perfectly choreographed hair to look charmingly haphazard, keeping it shiny and natural, with slight volume at the roots and tumbling texture throughout. And this windswept look worked wonderfully with the cosy autumn feel of this show: its autumnal colour scheme, long coats, woolly knits and furry fabrics.
On the street, one of our favourite fashion bloggers, Arielle Charnas of Something Navy, showed how this style can work with a more dressed-up look. The gentle waves and centre part echoed the BCBG runway, but her chic monochrome coat, over-the-knee boots and snowball pom pom charm swinging from a classic handbag took this on-trend do in a completely different direction.
However you want to wear it, the Fluid Wave is an easy look to achieve yourself. We recommend the TRESemmé Beauty-Full Volume collection for creating the soft, natural texture needed. You'll also need a blow-dryer, a soft, bristle brush and a one-inch curling iron.
Start with the TRESemmé Beauty-Full Volume reverse wash system. Yes, that's right – you'll condition first, then shampoo! Yes, that's right – wash your hair in reverse order, using TRESemmé Beauty-Full Volume Pre-Wash Conditioner to soften the hair, followed by TRESemmé Beauty-Full Volume Shampoo to wash away weight. Next apply an amount approximately the size of a 10p coin of TRESemmé Beauty-Full Volume Hair Maximiser to the roots and rough-dry.
Twist random one-inch sections around your curling iron, starting two inches down from the roots and leaving the ends straight. You basically want to add movement to the mid-lengths only to create an imperfect wave that doesn't look too 'done'. Then gently brush out those curls with a soft bristle brush.
Finish your style with a spritz of TRESemmé Ultimate Hold Hairspray – its no-stiffness or stickiness formula means that hair still moves and stays touchably soft.
