Diabetes Patients Are Hacking Together the Tech They Need. Doctors Are Just Tuning In.
In a study published on Monday in The Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology, researchers at University of Utah Health examine how the diabetes community uses Twitter to share information on open source artificial pancreas (OpenAPS) technology, a DIY hack of two diabetes management devices.
Larger than 'LIFE' art installation focuses on suicide prevention
Suicide prevention is a priority for one student group, and on Monday those students set up a 3-D art instillation at the University of Utah's Marriott Library.
The surprising reasons people stay in unhappy relationship
A new study by University of Utah's Samantha Joel and colleagues (2018) provides fresh insights into what keeps people in unfulfilling relationships. Joel et al. begin by questioning the usual assumptions which state that people make the decision to leave based on what's in their own best interests.
CRISPR's hedgehog problem: Rolled-up genes can't be edited, study finds
If CRISPR "can't see DNA when it's wrapped around a nucleosome," said biochemist Dana Carroll of the University of Utah, who led the study, "it could be an issue."
Science birds retreating from climate change, deforestation in Honduras cloud forests
Otherworldly, yes, but scientists have found that the cloud forests are not immune to very down-to-earth problems of climate change and deforestation. A 10-year study of bird populations in Cusuco National Park, Honduras, shows that the peak of bird diversity in this mountainous park is moving higher in elevation. Additional land protection, unfortunately, may not be enough to reverse the trend, driven in part by globally rising temperatures. The study is published in Biotropica.
Colorado wildfires are turning forests into sci-fi scenes
William Anderegg grew up camping and fishing in the forests of Colorado. But in the years since, fires have ripped through much of the land. Anderegg: "One of the reasons I got into science is I realized that a huge amount of area that I had camped in as a kid, these forests were now dead. It looked like a moonscape."


The mission of the School of Engineering is to provide an exceptional technical and professional education that instills in our students advanced problem-solving skills, effective leadership qualities and the ability to recognize and build on individual strengths throughout one's career.
Engineering is about problem solving, innovation, and the creation of devices, systems, processes, and structures for human use. Engineers create new ideas and then transform those ideas into products and services that improve people's lives. Engineers apply mathematics and the principles of science—particularly chemistry and physics—to solve problems and meet the needs of society. Engineering spans the very small to the very large, from micro-sensors that can continuously monitor human health, to space stations that can support the exploration of new worlds. It also touches our everyday lives.
Engineering has provided our shelter, our transportation, our entertainment, our medical supplies and technologies, our water supplies, the food we eat, the movies we watch, the appliances that make our lives easier and the protection of our environment. Engineering careers are among the highest in demand in the United States, and as a result, provide great personal and professional satisfaction and quality of life. Engineering is a "people-serving profession" and a pathway to financial security. In short, engineering makes the world work!
It is wonderful that you are interested in studying engineering at UC Merced. Our engineering profession is at the epicenter of ways for improving lives in both the developing and developed worlds. You will have the opportunity to learn with us about how engineering and appropriate technology helps people. From the time you enter our program you will be exposed to new technologies that will become the tools that you will use in solving problems, grafting sustainability into our culture, education and research, and delivering exciting new products and services to society. By using the local region as our lab, we aim to solve global problems by finding sustainable solutions to local challenges, incubate the creation of new enterprises and good jobs, and facilitate prosperity of the San Joaquin Valley and nation.
You have embarked on an exciting journey. With a diverse school and campus, your engineering education at UC Merced will be both challenging and satisfying, and will give you the chance to meet extraordinary people: world-class faculty, committed fellow students, dedicated staff, and partners from the local community and around the world. The global social network you will develop in engineering and beyond during your time at UC Merced will last throughout your career.
Your education in engineering is a launching pad. Some of you will go on to pursue careers in engineering design, others will become engineering managers, and still others will pursue graduate education in engineering or perhaps go into international development or other professions such as medicine or law. Once you master the methods of engineering problem-solving, you will have the skills and flexibility to chart your own course and to adapt to whatever your future holds.
Congratulations on your vision and initiative. I look forward to welcoming you into our program and watching you develop into a technical leader for tomorrow.
Students in the School of Engineering must repeat a required course after receiving a grade of D+, D, D-, F, U, or Not Passed for previous attempts, and may do so no more than twice beyond the initial enrollment in the class.
Under the advisement of a faculty mentor, students have the opportunity to form service-learning teams that work with an approved community not-for-profit organization—or client—to solve practical engineering problems. For example, a team composed of both upper and lower division students might work together to design, develop, implement and test an information system to serve the needs of a local non-profit service organization. Students electing to enroll in the UC Merced Service Learning initiative may earn up to two credits per semester for participation, depending on their leadership position within the team for that semester.
Engineering students are required to complete the following major preparation courses.
Engineering Fundamentals courses are determined by specific majors. See specific majors or talk to your advisor to find out which fundamentals courses are required for you.
Major Area Upper Division Courses include major core courses, major technical electives and other specified requirements. See specific majors for the list of courses.
ENGR 191: Professional Seminar [1.0 unit] Must be taken during the senior year.
Articulation agreements between California Community Colleges and majors in the School of Engineering at UC Merced are found on assist.org. Applicants are strongly encouraged to take as many courses that are equivalent to the major preparation required of their planned major at UC Merced. For School of Engineering majors, the completion of calculus, vector calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, a year of calculus based physics, one semester of general chemistry and two programming courses are strongly recommended.
More information on transfer preparation and admission can be found on assist.org and the School of Engineering Student Advising website.
Three arts and humanities courses (of the three arts and humanities courses required, at least one has to be from arts and one has to be from humanities).
IGETC is strongly discouraged but certification will fulfill lower division Writing, Arts/Humanities and Social Science requirements.
Since Engineering is a rapidly developing profession, curricular changes are made by the Faculty from year to year. Changes made to the School of Engineering curriculum will be made available on the School of Engineering website at eng.ucmerced.edu.

Review – Can't Let Go by Barbara Freethy
This was my first venture into a Barbara Freethy book, and I was pleasantly surprised. The development of the characters and the way they contrasted each other kept for an intriguing story.
Annie is from a large family of FBI agents, cops, and firefighters but she didn't inherit that gene. She's the curious artsy free spirit. She lands in a beach town sub letting a house on the beach for a friend that's out of town for 6 months. She's hoping it will get her creative juices flowing again. One day she decides to try to overcome her fear of water, which leads her in a huge predicament… Shark!! She gets rescued by the gruff sexy surfer Griffin who skips out before she can thank him. She is determined to find him and express her gratitude.
Griffin is a quiet guy that keeps to himself and for good reason. When the feisty Annie tracks him down, he knows no good could come of it. He has to push her away while at the same time fight the attraction he's feeling. These two lead us on quite a journey.
It was an excellent read that I definitely recommend. You don't have to read the others in the series to read this.
CAN'T LET GO
Callaway Cousins #5
By Barbara Freethy
Release Day: DEC 26, 2017
From #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Barbara Freethy comes another stunning blend of heart-warming romance and spine-tingling suspense in her popular Callaway Series…
Talented graphic artist and animator Annie Callaway has been commissioned by a Hollywood studio to create the next superhero blockbuster movie, but a bout of creative block has Annie searching the Southern California beach scene for inspiration. A local Irish bar in an old train depot, run by the ruggedly attractive and somewhat mysterious Griffin Hale, piques her interest, and she finds herself weaving fantasies about not only Griffin but also the quirky characters who work there.
The last thing Griffin Hale needs at his bar is a nosy artist looking for personal stories to turn into movie plots. He has carefully cultivated a scene of complete normalcy for people who need it more than Annie could possibly imagine, and it's his job to protect them. But the beautiful redhead with the compelling green eyes is difficult to turn away. Annie's fantasy world where good always conquers evil is not the life that Griffin has lived, and he can't help but think she'll never be satisfied with anyone less than a superhero.
After a string of bad relationships, Annie willingly admits that most real men don't live up to her muscle-bound, cape-wearing protectors of the world, but when her stubborn curiosity propels her into a danger she never expected, she begins to realize that some heroes work in the dark…and a man who fights for you is a man worth fighting for.
While Griffin is determined to keep Annie alive, he's not at all convinced he can give her the happily-ever-after she's looking for. But then some stories take an unexpected turn…

A man walked into the bar. He wore dark-gray slacks, a white button-down shirt, and a striped navy-blue tie. His brown hair was cut very short, his face cleanly shaven. And he was the last person Griffin wanted to see. But whatever Paul Daniels had to say needed to be said with a bit more privacy.
He tipped his head toward a table in the corner, then poured two shots of bourbon and walked around the bar, sitting down across from a man who inspired both loyalty and frustration whenever they met up. "Could you look more like a fed?" he asked.
"I didn't have time to change," Paul Daniels replied. He took the shot with a swallow of satisfaction. "Smooth."
"You must be off the clock."
That answer didn't make him happy. "I told you we need to take a break."
"And we did. It's been two months," Paul replied. "Megan is a twenty-four-year-old woman. She's jittery, fragile, and isn't doing well in isolation. She needs people around her that she doesn't have to lie to. It won't be for long—a week, maybe ten days."
"You always say that."
"And I'm mostly telling the truth."
He drank his shot, breaking his own rule about not drinking while working, then said, "Where is she?"
"In the car."
"Alone?"
"Rob is with her." Paul paused, resting his forearms on the table, as his brown-eyed gaze settled on Griffin's face. "She's not any happier about this than you are, but I think this would be a good place for her."
"Where is she from?"
"A long way from here. I'm not worried about danger finding her; I'm worried about her cracking or running. Some people can live a lie with no problems. Others can't."
He knew that better than anyone.
The door opened again, and for a split second he thought it might be the person Paul had brought to the bar, but the woman with reddish-blonde hair and sparkling green eyes was much more familiar and even more disturbing. She'd been very attractive in the orange bikini she'd had on yesterday, but it had been hard to get past the enormous fear in her eyes. Today, wearing white jeans and a clingy blue top, she looked beautiful and back on her game.
But why was she here? He couldn't believe it was a coincidence.
"Damn," he muttered.
"Ex-girlfriend?" Paul asked, raising an eyebrow as he followed his gaze.
"No, but not someone I wanted to see."
"You never want to see anyone. I'm still surprised someone as unfriendly as you decided to open a bar."
Sometimes—like today—he asked himself the same question. But while there were a lot of people in the bar, he didn't have to interact with very many of them.
As the redhead's gaze lit on him, a smile spread across her face. He felt like he'd just been struck by a hot, bright ray of sun. It warmed up places in his body that had gone cold a long time ago.
"I'm going to get Megan and bring her in," Paul said, getting to his feet. "I'll let you deal with whatever this is."
"What?" he asked, a little distracted by the woman making her way across the bar.
"I'll be right back."
He had a lot more he wanted to say to Paul, but his friend was already gone, and the woman he'd pulled out of the ocean yesterday was almost at his table. He stood up, his nerves tightening. He could sense danger from a mile away. He didn't know why this woman was trouble; he just knew that she was.

Google Under Pressure to Recognize Anti-Fracking Activism as Fake News
Nationwide Petition Encourages Powerful Search Engine to Act
DALLAS, May 11, 2017 / PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Following Google's recent announcement that the company is making changes to its search engine algorithm to combat "the spread of blatantly misleading, low quality, offensive or downright false information," FrackFeed penned an open letter to Google asking the company to flag the misleading content on anti-fracking websites as fake news. FrackFeed is a project of Texans for Natural Gas, a pro-drilling advocacy group.
"We believe many of the most prominent anti-fracking websites have content that is misleading, false, or offensive – if not all three," the group wrote. "As a result, we urge you to consider purging or demoting these websites from your algorithm, which in turn will encourage a more honest public discussion about hydraulic fracturing, and oil and natural gas development in general."
Now, in addition to the open letter, FrackFeed has launched a nationwide petition asking people across the country to encourage Google to appropriately label this type of inaccurate and misleading information as fake news.
The letter provides several examples of activist groups spreading false information about fracking, particularly as it relates to allegations over water contamination:
Sierra Club declares on its website: "Fracking has contaminated the drinking water of hundreds of thousands of Americans." There is no evidence to support this claim.
Earthworks, which has compared fracking to sexual assault, says of hydraulic fracturing: "Not only does the injection of these chemicals pose a short-term threat to drinking water quality, it is quite possible that there could be long-term negative consequences for USDWs [Underground Sources of Drinking Water] from these fracturing fluids."
Food & Water Watch claims widespread water contamination is one of many reasons why fracking is "simply too unsafe to pursue" and that "a ban is the only solution."
Environment America claims there are hundreds, if not thousands, of cases of fracking contaminating groundwater – and even attempts to redefine what fracking is.
These false, unsupported claims have been repeatedly refuted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and scientific experts in peer-reviewed studies. For example, the EPA conducted an extensive, multi-year investigation intro fracking and drinking water and found no evidence of widespread water contamination. The U.S. Government Accountability Office met with regulatory officials in eight of the largest oil and natural gas producing states and concluded "the hydraulic fracturing process has not been identified as a cause of groundwater contamination within their states."
The full letter to Google can be viewed here.
The petition can be found here.
FrackFeed is a project of Texans for Natural Gas, a grassroots advocacy campaign with more than 200,000 members. It receives support from four natural gas companies. More information can be found at www.FrackFeed.com and www.TexansforNaturalGas.com

Having wreaked havoc on their final year of high school, the pandemic proceeded to disrupt the Class of 2021's post-graduation plans. Some students answered the uncertainty by applying to more colleges than they'd previously planned, perhaps aiming higher. Others saw their best chance at higher education slip away, undone by financial catastrophe the virus brought with it. School counselors, tasked with guiding students through applications and keeping them on track to graduate, also bore witness.
'I Don't Want Them to Feel Alone'
"I worry about their mental health. I worry about their stress level. I worry about them having a senior year. My heart just really goes out to them because they are working so hard … I want to make sure that they know that there's always help. I worry that they're on the other side of that screen, feeling alone. And I don't want them to feel alone."—Cherryl Baker, Mission Hills High School, San Marcos, Calif.
"I think we saw, and probably everyone else saw, students submit more applications … We saw more people adding more überselective schools to their regular-decision list, almost buying lottery tickets."—David Rion, The Loomis Chaffee School, Windsor, Conn.
"The vast majority of our students are still planning on four-year college right after high school … We strongly encourage virtual visits, virtual college fairs. We had virtual after-school college meetings, but it's not the same as physically getting to take that tour and feel the campus environment. That's always been a really powerful deciding factor for a lot of kids."—Jennifer Segal, Boston Latin School, Boston
"I can definitely see a decline in the students' motivation."
'I can definitely see a decline in the students' motivation. I can see myself this year really being more of a motivator than I've ever been … It's been having to motivate them to go to class, turning in an assignment, logging in. Even athletics, having to show up to practice, having to submit an application. It's everything."—Camilo Macias, Desert View High School, Tucson, Ariz.
"We've been virtual now since March 13 of last year. I have students who never received less than a B who have failing grades in multiple classes. Kids are struggling with a lot. In particular, Atherton is in Louisville, Ky., where Breonna Taylor grew up, went to school and was killed. I have a lot of students who have been struggling with just the social unrest and tension in the city. They are not having an opportunity to process and heal before something else happens. Picture a teenager who is grieving, dealing with the pandemic, cut off socially from their friends and school, which is like a happy place, an escape.
"Picture a teenager who is grieving, dealing with the pandemic, cut off socially from their friends and school, which is like a happy place, an escape."
They don't get to go to school, and then they are having to motivate themselves at 8 o'clock in the morning to get in front of the computer, sign in to class and be ready to learn. And do that every day, day in and day out, in their bedroom. I don't think people really get the emotional impact. You have kids who are losing family members, grieving, dealing with social unrest and dealing with not having stepped foot in the building one single time their entire senior year. We're going after the kids and trying to make sure they graduate and get the grades they need. But in addition to that, we have to make sure they're O.K."—Tinika Campbell, Atherton High School, Louisville, Ky.
The Longest Year
"It's pretty common to just interact with students on Zoom, and the camera is turned off, and it's harder to just get the very basic human-to-human contact points through which we operate—facial expressions, slight movements of our shoulders and hands. That impacts the ability to develop a relationship in the first place. And I think that's the starting point for reaching students. If I am to convince a student that they're ready to go to college, and not only college but to a place across the country that'll give them good financial aid, I need to establish some credibility. And there needs to be a natural back-and-forth relationship there. The families from a higher-income background typically had the kind of mental space and time and financial stability to be able to set up pods, and so they're still able to kind of socialize, and college was just never a question for them.
"I think that this last year has been, like, the longest in anyone's life."
For a lot of lower-income and even middle-income families, they've had to reconsider, "Is it worth it for me to take classes next year when I don't even know if they'll be in person?" These are students and families who are thinking pretty much entirely in financial terms. "Is this really going to be worth it? Should I put it off?" And I totally sympathize. I can't tell you the number of times I've said out loud, "I'm really glad to not be in school in this kind of situation." Because it is a wildly different learning experience, just having to do it through Zoom. I think that this last year has been, like, the longest in anyone's life. I think it has reminded all of us that there's a big asterisk on the future. And it's hard to imagine, What will it actually be like in the fall? Will I get to step on a college campus, or am I doing college from home? I think that kind of uncertainty will be a hurdle to completing those tedious last steps before enrolling."—Lesya Bazylewicz, Woodrow Wilson High School, Dallas

Isabella Unashamed
Isabella of Castile is known as Europe's first great queen. Renowned for her marriage to Ferdinand of Aragon and birthing of modern day Spain, Isabella is also known as the queen who launched the Inquisition, completed the Reconquista and expelled the Jews from her nation. Not long after her triumph in 1492, her dynasty came apart and unraveled, and it was whispered by many that the Trastamara line was cursed. But, What if Isabella had been wiser and not expelled the Jews, some of the very people who ironically helped put her on the throne of Castile? What if Isabella had had more foresight and had her successor be Catalina, who, although the youngest, was the most like her and the wisest of her children? How would the power balance of 15th and 16th century Europe shifted if Catalina had been the powerful queen regnant of Spain and not one of the 'merry wives' of Windsor? A joint effort, Isabella Unashamed is written by two authors from very different cultural backgrounds who have nonetheless joined together to create a haunting portrait of Spain's most famous queen, as well as a glimpse of what might have been had Isabella been wiser.
Helen R. Davis was educated at Ohio Northern University. She has studied the ancient world through the gift of books since a very young age, her passion for this era kindled long ago. She has a passion for strong women who have governed nations from the past to the present.
Isabella makes changes
Isabella's only son and eldest daughter are dead. This leaves Juana to be queen of Castile. But can Juana truly take the task on?
Juana's attempt at reasoning her objections was a complete failure. Her husband was no better. He walked to Juana and held her back, whispered in her ear to tone down her rhetoric. But Juana pushed him away and called him weak for not defending her.
It was sickening, it was comical. If this wasn't their daughter, Isabella and Ferdinand would order the guards to take her away; but they remained seated, watching their heir presumptive commit political suicide.
"You want to challenge me because you are dying." Juana accused.
"Juana, that's enough." Philip hissed.
"Let me go, Philip." She hissed back, wrenching her arm free. Who was he to tell her what to do? He was going to be King next to her. "You dare to presume what is best for Castile. I am Castile. I will be Aragon!"

SIDWELL COMMENTS ON CALDERWOORD'S MOVE TO VILLA
Home / SIDWELL COMMENTS ON CALDERWOORD'S MOVE TO VILLA
Former Aston Villa player Steve Sidwell has commented on the move of Colin Calderwood from Brighton & Hove Albion to Aston Villa.
The ex-star told Sky News:
"Col was a very popular figure at the football club. He was a great go between. I think it's hit the gaffer hard, but life goes on. I'm sure somebody else will come in and do just as good a job as Colin has done," Sidwell said.
Calderwood, in a very surprising move, left Brighton to join Villa manager Steve Bruce as the club's assistant manager.
Sidwell admits that Brighton would miss his expertise, adding that the players enjoyed a good relationship with the former coach. Calderwood decided he wanted a change for once, after teaming with Chris Hughton for a long time in their managerial career.
After the exit of Roberto di Matteo, Bruce seems to have gotten a hang of the role which has resulted in an improvement. Calderwood joins the side as the club remains focused on regaining top-flight English football status as soon as they can. Villa are yet to lose a game under Bruce and they are looking hopeful at making the play-offs.
In the English Championship, Villa are in 16th position but they are only five points from the top six in the standings. Calderwood is expected to join Bruce in the dugout when Villa play Cardiff next.
Newcastle are also fighting hard to regain Premier League status after they were relegated to the lower division at the end of last term. Rafael Benitez seems focused after he decided to remain with them despite joining late into the season. Norwich FC are the third side that exited the Premier League after the 2015/16 season.

Thirukkural, spiritual epic of saint Thiruvalluvar, reduced to a book of dos and don'ts by vested interests: TN Guv
While addressing the Thirukkural To Humanity for World Peace and Harmony Conference organised by Anna University, TN Governor Ravi said Thirukkural, written by saint Thiruvalluvar, was systematically underrated for years together by reducing its significance and promoting it as a mere book on 'code of conduct'.

The paid pipers of proselytization of papacy, which included politicians, film personalities and sundries, have been peddling, puppeting to promote divisive politics in the name of caste, community and religion as part of their anti-national agenda. They are questioning age-old Hindu customs, spirituality and what not only to promote Abrahamic religion.
TN Governor Ravi has never been hesitated to show profound love for Classic Tamil, richness of Thirukkural and Tamil culture. While addressing the Thirukkural To Humanity for World Peace and Harmony Conference organised by Anna University the Kural Malai Sangam on the theme "Thirukkural to humanity, for world peace and harmony" in Chennai on Oct.7, he said spiritual nature of Thirukkural, written by saint Thiruvalluvar, was systematically underrated for years together by reducing its significance and promoting it as a mere book on 'code of conduct'. He said, in fact, Thirukkural being a unique blend of spirituality and Needhi (moral) Sastra. Governor Ravi said hat this despiritualisation was a denial of India's heritage and culture and wanted Thirukkural should be restored to its full glory. He said, "Thirukkural is a greater work than just a book of dos and don'ts.
TN Governor made a detailed presentation of the contents of Thirukkural from the first couplet and explained how it moved to other spiritual subjects step by step and attains moksha (freedom from the cycle of births and deaths). He said, "Unfortunately, Thirukkural has been presented as a code of conduct for the past many years … The whole spirituality of Thirukkural, which is so rich and carries the spirituality of India, is played down. We say it is a great work of literature and the root of Indian culture. But somehow we feel shy about talking the spirituality spoken in Thirukkural. This conditioning of mind began during the Colonial period, and it persists. One of the first people who translated Thirukkural was GU Pope, and he made a despiritualised translation of Thirukkural. But when I say that, some people take offence … You cannot suppress the truth with noise. You must understand what damage GU Pope has done and what was his mission in India".
Blaming the colonial rulers, he said, "the British Parliament passed a law called India Charter 1813, which mandated the British government, (the) East India Company and others to evangelize India. Against this backdrop, people like Bishop Caldwell and GU Pope came to India. GU Pope was a member of the Society for Promotion of the Gospel". He said his translation had de-spiritualized and played down the element of spiritualism. Pope translated "Adi Bhagavan as a primal deity, instead of 'supreme god', Ravi pointed out.
Governor Ravi said the de-spiritualized Thirukkural was being used for political purposes and by the rationalists and atheist. This has handy for the people who have no faith in God.
He said, "Thiruvalluvar was hijacked in a despiritualised manner and Thirukkural was reduced to a mere code of conduct. This is not fair. It is an outstanding combination of spirituality and moral (Needhi) Sastra. It has to be appreciated in its fullness. What Thiruvalluvar said was the sum and substance of Bharathiya Atyatmiya and this is our identity. This is what makes us who we are. It is a far greater work than a mere code of conduct …, ".
The governor said it is time Thirukkural to be restored to its full glory as it is a unique mix of dharma sastra and needhi sastra-spirituality and righteous conduct. He said "couplets begins with bhakthi –total surrender to Adhi Bhagvan and moves on to talk about controlling one's senses that enable the person to free oneself from the cycle of birth and death. It also talks about sanyasa and renunciation. Thirukkural is not a literary masterpiece and more than a 'spiritual gold mine', a fact that was systematically downplayed right from the colonial era".
Ravi said couplets 341 to 350 talks about spirituality and went on explaining its essence. He said, "the element of bharatiya spirituality was underplayed, and it was being projected as a book on code of conduct". He summed up by saying "What Thiruvalluvar said is the sum and substance of Bharathiya Atyatmiya and this is our identity. This is what makes us who we are. It is a far greater work than a mere code of conduct … "
In August last, Governor R.N. Ravi accused Pope of translating with the colonial objective to "trivialize" the spiritual wisdom of India; in January he said the spiritual part Thirukkural was ignored; In July this year he debunked the Aryan invasion theory of Caldwell as myth. He said the geographic regions, north and south of the Vindhya Range known as 'Panch Aryas' and 'Panch Dravidas' respectively were mischievously distorted to create racial divide among people to weaken the country's unity" the Governor said.
Tamil Nadu Governor, the only one, not belonged to the state and a non-Tamil, has been talking about the greatness and richness of Thirukkural, Hindu Culture and debunking false narratives set by invaders, Dravidian leaders. None from the Dravidian group, who are claiming champions and saviors of Tamil, in the state attached importance and spoke like him. They merely follow their 'masters' voice' for their political survival in splitting the society to pave way for spreading their religions.

Edmund Bradbury (NFTO) drew first blood in the Motorpoint Spring Cup Series, taking the win in a wet and windy Chorley Grand Prix on Easter Saturday.
The 23-year-old from Banstead in Surrey time trialled his way to victory over the last few miles, and despite the pouring rain and strong winds on the exposed Lancashire course he made victory look easy, crossing the line around 30 seconds ahead of team-mate Dale Appleby, with Dexter Gardias (Pedal Heaven) third.
Bradbury is a superb time trial rider, and placed second to Alex Dowsett in the time trials at the 2015 British Cycling National Road Championships. Most recently he was second in the Wally Gimber Trophy a fortnight ago, proving that he can ride successfully in road races too.
But both he and NFTO had to bide their time towards the end of the 116-mile race before making their decisive move.
As the race rolled out of Chorley the rain began to come down heavier, and as they powered towards the first climb of Rivington Pike several riders made a bid for freedom.
They were helped by some crashes which split the field, and as they crested the top of the climb it was Ian Wilkinson (Pedal Heaven RT) and Ben Hetherington (Planet X-Northside Cycling) who got clear.
They worked hard to get clear, and after ten minutes they were joined at the front by Rob Partridge (NFTO). With added impetus, the trio established a lead of over a minute.
As they hurtled towards the end of the first lap, their lead had grown to around 1-15 over the bunch, but two riders attempted to chase – Tommy Bustard (Metaltek-Kuota) and Jez McCann (Richardsons-Trek).
Heading into the second lap, the three leaders had around 45 seconds as they tackled Rivington climb again, while behind them the chasing few had been pulled back by the bunch.
Their lead steadily dropped until it was around 25 seconds, and they were now within sight of the bunch on longer stretches. Stephen Swindley (PMR at Toachim House) bridged across to make the leading group four-strong, but it did little to help them stay clear as JLT Condor drove hard on the front of the bunch.
The third ascent of Rivington loomed, and as the leaders pulled themselves up it they were finally swallowed up by the chasers after around two hours of freedom.
After one or two solo attacks came to nothing, a large break of 12 riders formed, with many of the big teams represented. Pedal Heaven RT had four riders up there in Jack Pullar, James Gullen, Max Stedman and Grant Ferguson, but NFTO featured Ian Bibby and Ed Bradbury.
Raleigh GAC had Craig Wallace and Adria Moreno Salo, Metaltek-Kuota's Dan Fleeman and Adam Kenway were present, as were JLT Condor duo Steve Lampier and Stephen Williams.
They quickly gained 45 seconds over the bunch, but just when it was looking likely to stay away the bunch pulled them back again.
With around two and a half hours gone, Connor Swift (Envelopemaster-Giant Sheffield) and Jonny McEvoy (NFTO) got around 30 seconds clear. Of the several chasers, they were eventually joined at the front by Dexter Gardias (Pedal Heaven) and Daniel Patten (Team Wiggins).
Their lead hovered around 25 seconds with Madison Genesis keen to push the chase on and stop them from escaping.
A successful chase was eventually mounted, and they swelled the lead group to 11 riders with McEvoy, Swift, Patten and Gardias being joined by Steve Lampier (JLT Condor), Gruffydd Lewis (Madison Genesis), Ed Bradbury, Dale Appleby and James Lowsley-Williams (NFTO), Rhys Howells (Richardsons Trek) and Craig Wallace (Raleigh GAC).
On the final climb of Rivington, James Lowsley-Williams jumped away and was quickly joined by Lampier, Gardias and Appleby, and with others struggling to stay in touch, the break was down to eight riders by the top of the climb.
As they crested the climb for the final time, Bradbury attacked and quickly gained crucial daylight. Lampier reacted but couldn't hold close to his wheel.
With little more than a minute in front Bradbury had opened up a lead of 12 seconds over Lampier, with Appleby and Gardias at 28 seconds.
He adopted a classic time trial pose and looked determined to solo to victory as his lead grew to 28 seconds, despite the weather worsening.
At the line he was over 30 seconds clear, with team-mate Appleby taking second from Gardias in third.
"I'm over the moon, I couldn't believe it," said Bradbury. "I went with about 20 kilometres to go and really had to dig deep. I kept getting time checks in the last two kilometres saying I had 30 seconds lead so I probably had enough time to sit up, but I just kept going because I didn't want to risk it.
"Today was all about the team effort. We were looking to last year's winner Ian Bibby a lot, and I think all the other teams were looking at him which gave the rest of us a bit more lee-way. But we ended up with so many riders in the break it shows how strong the team is this year.
"It got absolutely grim towards the end, but when you're going full gas you hardly notice it. We've got such good kit on this year. We were staying dry as best as we could but in the last 4-5 kilometres it was absolutely biblical!

Master & Dog ( Formerly John, Shelly & the Creatures) formed in 2007. The bands original name, John, Shelly and the Creatures came from a chance meeting with two Irish twins named John and Shelly. It's a long story. The band recently changed their name to Master & Dog for various reasons, the name originating from one of the bands favourite songs "Master & Dog" by Quasi.
Master & Dog… are made up of band members: Kevin Carlisle (Drums, percussion & vox), Philip Watts d'Alton (guitar, vox, keys, bass, mandolin), Ger Gormley (bass, vox, guitar, mandolin, keys) and Walter (guitar, vox, keys, mandolin and drums). They are influenced by a wide variety of genres and are unafraid to mix things up when it comes to recording and playing live. 'With a dazzling array of instruments and songwriting that has been fine-tuned to a striking degree, the foursome's laidback sound, coupled with gritty lyrics, recalls The Lemonheads' (Irish Times) and fellow Northern band Snow Patrol. 'Rather than Knock you off your seat with rambunctious riffs or profound ideas, this band are just effortlessly monumental' and maintain a sense of intrigue whilst being immediately powerful and engaging. The stunning graceful and tender effort – LONG MAY YOU REIGN- reads like a summers day smile, whilst their debut album DINOSAUR, is a whole actors handbook of facial expressions (AU Magazine). The band play in select venues and at various festivals throughout the Summer of 2010. 'KILLER' is their follow up to single 'LONG MAY YOU REIGN', which received (and still receives) critical acclaim. It also featured in The Northern Irish Tourist Board TV, Radio and Cinema Advert. They also performed the song live, to over 20,000 spectators in the RDS arena. Which was a high moment for the band in their short career to date.
This is a band unafraid to match their musical peers and they know how to write great music. They signed a publishing deal with Big Life Music Ltd (Snow Patrol, The Verve, Badly Drawn Boy�) being one of the only independent Irish bands to do so. On the lead up to their Debut album launch Master and Dog performed on Ireland�s biggest and most well known TV shows THE LATE LATE SHOW, achieving quite an accomplishment for an unsigned band doing it on their own, then again they are not your average unsigned band. Their album has received rave reviews from national Publications, declaring the band as BRILLIANT.

The Diocese of Latakia, Syria
At the Chrism Mass on April 6, 2017,Bishop LaValley announced that the Diocese of Ogdensburg is setting out on a "twinning relationship" with the Diocese of Latakia, located in Syria. Bishop Antoine Chbeir who shepherds this Maronite Catholic Diocese of about 45,000 Catholics that has 30 parishes, 27 priests and 27 consecrated religious. War has wreaked havoc on the region. In addition to normal pastoral activities, the Church in Latakia also must minister to thousands of displaces Syrians who seeking a safe refuge.
The Diocese of Latakia is composed for four provinces and covers about 20,000 square miles. For comparison, the Diocese of Ogdensburg covers about 12,000 square miles. The four provinces are Tartus, Latakia, Hama and Homs. Bishop Chbeir has been the Eparch (Maronite Bishop) since May of 2015.

Democrat Hiral Tipirneni, who lost this week's special election to fill a vacant House seat in Arizona, couldn't rely on the national party to fund her campaign. She received nothing from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
So she appealed to potential supporters far from Arizona, people who might not have even heard of her. About 40 percent of her campaign's funds were raised from small donors. Such fundraising is an essential resource in districts previously hostile to Democrats for candidates like Tipirneni, who had sought to be the next example in a list of "blue-wave" victories.
According to ads submitted by users of our Facebook Political Ad Collector tool, one of her campaign's strategies was to advertise to people who "like" more well-known liberal politicians and groups, even those in places far from the suburban Phoenix district she was running to represent.
You may have seen ads from Tipirneni if you've liked Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., or Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y. Tipirneni's campaign, which didn't respond to a request for comment Wednesday, may have been betting that if you're inspired by one liberal woman, you're more likely to want to donate to another.
Gillibrand's campaign did support Tipirneni and sent emails to its supporters encouraging them to donate, according to Glen Caplin, a Gillibrand campaign spokesperson.
The data from the Political Ad Collector shows that Tipirneni's ads also solicited donations from Facebook users who liked the pages for Planned Parenthood and Emily's List, an organization that supports the campaigns of pro-choice Democratic women — and which endorsed Tipirneni.
We've been working with newsrooms around the country — and around the world — on tracking Facebook political ads. We're looking for examples of misinformation, conflicting messaging, etc. — but we're also hoping to understand how targeted ads and data modeling have affected the relationship between campaigns and voters. Here's how you can help us gather data.
Despite losing to Republican Debbie Lesko, Tipirneni did far better than many Democrats have done previously in her heavily suburban area — the party didn't even field a candidate in 2014 or 2016. For first-time or lesser-known candidates in traditionally Republican districts — like Tipirneni — raising enough money to run a credible campaign can be a steep hill to climb — especially for Democrats who receive minimal help from the national party. Lesko received plentiful support from the national Republican party.
For Democrats in special elections, advertising on Facebook is a necessity. Despite the backlash against the social network for its privacy policies and the much-disputed role Facebook played in the 2016 presidential race, it's still a platform where Democrats who have won unlikely elections — like Alabama Sen. Doug Jones — reliably can find voters and, even more so, donors.
Jones used a similar technique, fundraising from people who liked the pages of comedian John Oliver and former Sen. Al Franken (before his resignation).
Another group the Tipirneni campaign's ads asked to chip in $5? People who liked "The Rachel Maddow Show" page.
The idea of appealing to supporters of other candidates or groups is, of course, not remotely new. How it's done, and who makes money, is what's changed. Unlike renting an email list (still a common practice), advertising to people who like the page of a far-away politician or group doesn't require getting permission or paying money to anybody — other than Facebook.
Our database can only see ads shown to participants in the project. If you're seeing interesting political ads — or, heck, even boring ones — please install ProPublica's Facebook Political Ad Collector extension and join our project.

Tamkeen's Enterprise Support Program just keeps getting better & better! Here's why
Badir Program gets awarded the Best Incubator in Saudi by UK's GBM
Tamkeen will introduce more advanced solutions to its flagship Enterprise Support Program with the aim of enhancing the flexibility of the grants it provides through the program to enterprises across different categories.
Dr. Ebrahim Mohammed Janahi, Chief Executive of Labour Fund Tamkeen, noted that in addition to exhaustive studies of the labour market landscape and needs, the enhancements are also based on the outcomes of the annual and sector-specific consultation forums that take place with customers.
"The process ensures that the available support solutions are not only aligned with the needs of enterprises across their developmental stages, but also improve upon the efficiency of service delivery, in line with the government's senior leadership's directives to increase support to start-ups," Janahi said.
Speaking about the details of these plans, Mr. Qusay Ali Al-Arayedh, Chief Executive Customer Engagement and Operations Officer of Tamkeen, stated, "There will be several enhancements made to the program to further improve support allocation and service delivery. These include introducing new sectors and digital solutions, as well as restructuring the internal team within Tamkeen."
Al-Arayedh went on to explain that there will be a new support pathway to cater specifically to enterprises with virtual CRs and help them grow and expand into fully-fledged businesses. The existing sectors will also be refined according to Business's developmental stage and its future growth potentials.
"In order to provide better services to our customers, Tamkeen is looking to provide a range of digital solutions, including partnering with BENEFIT and local banks to facilitate digital payments," Al-Arayedh further added. "By adopting these technologies, enterprises will be able to receive the support grants provided under Tamkeen's Enterprise Support Program faster and more securely than ever before."
"Achieving these objectives enhancements also necessitates restructuring our internal team to better align with the particular needs of each customer category. This is part of Tamkeen's ongoing drive to develop its operations and services to ensure the right balance of customer accessibility and customer service quality," Al-Arayedh said.
As part of the second phase of its 2018-2020 strategy, Tamkeen recently announced plans to revamp and enhance several of its current flagship programs, including the Business Development Program and the Training and Wage Support Program. The strategy, which is underpinned by three main pillars: diversification, acceleration and sustainability, will further bolster the effectiveness and sustainability of the impact of Tamkeen's support programs.

We initiate coverage on Zelan Bhd with an Outperform rating and a target price of RM14.00, representing upside of 56%.
Zelan ready to take on the world. Exciting times lie ahead for Malaysia's power plant construction specialist, Zelan. Having established a successful track record in Malaysia, the group is moving into the overseas market, which offers lots of opportunity. Zelan proved its competitiveness recently by winning a power plant bid in Indonesia. Its reputation with global equipment manufacturers has also earned it new jobs in the Middle East. Run by an experienced management team, the group is intent on growing the business and, more importantly, is able to execute. Given Zelan's expertise, we are confident that it will obtain more jobs in the future.
Zelan's target markets represent a US$26bn pa opportunity. Electricity demand continues to be strong in developing Asia. The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that to meet their electricity demand, India, Indonesia and the Middle East need to spend about US$26bn pa over the next 25 years on power plant projects. Given this, it is currently a supplier's market, and we believe there will be no shortage of opportunities to explore.
Construction order book stands at RM3.7bn. Based on this, we expect revenues to more than double YoY in FY08. Management is targeting to raise this order book by another RM3-5bn in 2 years' time. We believe Zelan's order book replenishment targets are achievable given its expertise and the sizable opportunities available in the power sector.
Potential gain of RM310m if IJM stake is divested. Zelan's 16% stake in IJM will be diluted to about 11% post the IJM-Road Builder merger. As a result, Zelan will no longer be able to equity account for this and we believe there is a possibility that Zelan may sell these shares. Zelan's stake in IJM is worth RM850m (~RM3.00/share) and the group can recognise a gain of RM310m arising from this disposal.
12-month price target: RM14.00 based on a Sum of Parts methodology.
Based on its current order book and its potential to obtain more jobs, we forecast Zelan's EPS to grow at 46% CAGR between FY07E-10E. Its ROE of over 20% is also the highest in our Malaysian construction universe. Zelan's PER (ex-cash and IJM stake) of 6.9x in CY08 is undemanding in our view and compares favourably with its regional construction peers. The stock is also a play under our domestic demand/global niche theme (see Hunting Stocks report dated 16 January 2007).

Visa scam foiled
A 47-year-old Melbourne woman was sentenced to 18 months' jail and a three-year good behaviour bond with a $2000 fine in the County Court of Victoria yesterday, after being convicted of visa fraud.
Following an investigation by the Department, the woman was charged with one count of dishonestly influencing a Commonwealth Official, contrary to section 135.4 (7) of the Criminal Code.
The woman was one of a group of people charged with providing students on temporary visas with false work references, for a fee, to support their case for permanent skilled migration to Australia.
Australian Border Force Commander Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Anthony Seebach, said the investigation found that the false work references had been submitted as part of Trades Recognition Australia assessments for more than 100 skilled visa applications.
"The Australian Border Force – the Department's operational enforcement arm – actively investigates and prosecutes people who are found to be defrauding the immigration system," Commander Seebach said.
"This type of fraud is not only unscrupulous, it's unfair. It gives some people an advantage in the visa application process over others who abide by the law.
"Visa applicants who engage in this type of fraud against the Commonwealth are likely to have their visa refused and be subject to an exclusion period restricting them from returning to Australia.
"The Australian Border Force works closely with other government agencies, both federal and state, to identify potential instances of fraud against the Commonwealth."

acaricidal activity
nanoemulsion
the two-spotted spider mite
The adverse effects of synthetic acaricides on humans, animals, non-target organisms and the ecosystem are serious problems. Thus, there is a new trend to use nanotechnology for developing new, natural, bio and safe acaricides for mite control in green-pest management. This is the first work for preparing a nanoformulation of rosemary essential oil (EO) and evaluating its effect against the two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch. GC/MS analysis of rosemary EO showed that 1,8 cineole (31.45%), borneol (11.07%), α-pinene (10.91%), D-limonene (9.19%), L-linalool (8.86%), D-camphor (7.32%), γ-terpinene (3.92%), linalyl acetate (3.37%), α-terpineol (3.32%), and p-cymene (1.82%) were the major components. After 6 min of sonication, a nanoemulsion of rosemary EO was formulated with a droplet size of 139.9 nm. The balance between oil (lyophilic) and surfactant (hydrophilic) was correlated with the droplet size and the stability of the nanoemulsion. Spray application of rosemary nanoemulsion showed high acaricidal activity against immature and adult two-spotted spider mites T. urticae with LC50 723.71 and 865.68 μg · ml−1 and the toxicity increased by 54.15 and 52.69% for immature and adult mites, respectively. There were no toxic effects or mortality of rats treated with rosemary nanoemulsion. High acaricidal activity, stability, and safety of rosemary nanoemulsion make this nanoformulation a possible green and nano-acaricidal product. Further studies under field conditions are necessary to study the acaricidal efficiency of rosemary nanoemulsion against two-spotted spider mites and the toxic effect on predacious mites.
