Desalination of sea water at an affordable cost:
An indian American won a USD 10,000 award from the US Agency for International Global Development at Intel's International Science Fair and second place at MIT's TechCon Conference where he won more money to continue his research. "They were very encouraging, they could see things into it that I couldn't, because they've been working their whole lives on this," said Karamchedu. Back in January, Karamchedu was also named one of 300 Regeneron Science Talent Search Semifinalists. The STS is thought to be one of the most prestigious competitions in the country for high school seniors.
Many such works have been reported by scientists previously, but none of them have seen the light of the day. Lab models when translated to field units of mega size pose altogether a different problem and so far we do not have an economic solution feasible for adoption. This student's approach is radically different and he talks about the use of a polymer that can do the job cost effectively. But this needs to be proved by employing a large scale field model before it can be adopted.

We usually hear stories of women teased, groped, molested or raped and very rarely do we come across such instances of police acting as a good Samaritan coming to the help of the stranded or distressed. This may not be the order of the day but may be an exception. That is why this news deserves to be given very wide publicity all the moreto help build confidence among the public about our police force which is known for wrong reasons and maligned. This news is like tapping a fresh water lens in the ocean.
Let us congratulate the police personnel involved whose exemplary action deserve to be simulated by other policemen

The jallikattu protest which started peacefully ended in mayhem.
The reality is far graver than what the administration and the Opposition are making it out to be. A resurgence of Tamil chauvinism is apparent. The reality also is that the politics of identity, far from receding, is very much alive. Beneath the surface calm, deep wells of unhappiness exist in the State over issues concerning so-called “Tamil pride”. This Tamil Pride has been exploited by the Tamil Chauvinists and secessionist forces. An effort is made to distance Tamil Nadu from the centre.It would be much more than mere political myopia if the State administration and other State politicians were to turn a blind eye to this reemergence of anti-national and anti-social forces in Tamil Nadu. There is no guarantee that u8nder the changed political situation, the antinationals will do everything in their command to exploit the situation to secede from the centre. Already there are indications to that extent with many youngsters falling prey in the hands of the separatists.






Ancient sport, new age protests
Almost everybody appeared to miss the siren song of ‘unsynchronised awakenings’ of an ‘under class’ in the jallikattu protests. It is these segments that are leading the global revolt against the so-called ‘elite’
 
Harmful effects of Arsenic
Arsenic occurs in inorganic and organic forms. Inorganic arsenic compounds (such as those found in water) are highly toxic while organic arsenic compounds (such as those found in seafood) are less harmful to health.
Acute effects
The immediate symptoms of acute arsenic poisoning include vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhoea. These are followed by numbness and tingling of the extremities, muscle cramping and death, in extreme cases.
Long-term effects
The first symptoms of long-term exposure to high levels of inorganic arsenic (e.g. through drinking-water and food) are usually observed in the skin, and include pigmentation changes, skin lesions and hard patches on the palms and soles of the feet (hyperkeratosis). These occur after a minimum exposure of approximately five years and may be a precursor to skin cancer.
In addition to skin cancer, long-term exposure to arsenic may also cause cancers of the bladder and lungs. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified arsenic and arsenic compounds as carcinogenic to humans, and has also stated that arsenic in drinking-water is carcinogenic to humans.
Other adverse health effects that may be associated with long-term ingestion of inorganic arsenic include developmental effects, neurotoxicity, diabetes, pulmonary disease and cardiovascular disease. Arsenic-induced myocardial infarction, in particular, can be a significant cause of excess mortality. In China (Province of Taiwan), arsenic exposure has been linked to “blackfoot disease”, which is a severe disease of blood vessels leading to gangrene. This disease has not been observed in other parts of the world however, and it is possible that malnutrition contributes to its development.
Arsenic is also associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes and infant mortality, with impacts on child health1, and there is some evidence of negative impacts on cognitive development.
The permissible limit of Arsenic in drinking water is 50–100 μg/litre. Anything in excess needs to be removed. In our country, it is stated there are about 66,663 known case of Arsenic pollution. It is good that government is taking suitable steps to supply Arsenic free water to the people of the region affected.

Recycling of waste
The example of Bengaluru is worth emulating by others also that will help to recycle a valuable waste which goes unutilisedand burnt causing environmental degradation. Our country essentially is based on Recycle Economy from time yore.

A safe alternative to plastic bags which pose a threat to environment
Let us encourage this move
Now an entrepreneur from Bali, disgusted at the rubbish littering the famous holiday island, is trying to tackle the problem with alternatives to conventional plastic.
His company, Avani Eco, produces goods including cassava carrier bags, takeaway food containers made from sugar cane and straws fashioned from corn starch, which founder Kevin Kumala says biodegrade relatively quickly and don't leave any toxic residue.

Caste card played by judge Karnan:
Supreme Court must act decisively to snip this canker of a troublesome judge Karnan who feels he is above law and uses the caste card to accuse fellow members and others.

Justice Karnan’s record of odd behaviour tantamounts to challenging the very system he is working in. Many times, Justice Karnan embarrassed colleagues by charging them with caste bias making, for instance, the ridiculous imputation that they sat with their legs crossed in his presence. Transferred to the Calcutta high court, the judge not only passed an order staying it, but also ordered a CBI probe against the Chief Justice.



He never thought for a minute how he could have become a high court judge if there really was caste discrimination in the system. As a judge, his record of work is nothing enviable. He has been accused of sloppy work, including not writing orders after reserving judgment in many cases. His record is such that he is considered a bad egg, but it took the collective will of a Constitution Bench to call him to order, perhaps a reflection of how most had stayed clear of him to avoid the embarrassment of his using the caste card freely, whenever he felt threatened or challenged. .
 
A prediction with which I agree
A Prediction by SIddha Pharmacist

A Siddha pharmacist from Thanjavur in Tamil Nadu has predicted that elections are around the corner in Tamil Nadu following turmoil in AIADMK.




M Govindaraj, who claims that he has the blessings of a mystic called Sivasiddhar, and for whom a temple exists at Punjaiyur village near Keerakalur in Thiruthuraipoondi taluk in Tiruvarur district, on Friday predicted that elections would soon take place in the state

He told media persons in Thanjavur, that in the upcoming elections, Deepa Jayakumar, niece of late CM Jayalalithaa, will emerge the key player, and that a Deepa-Panneerselvam combine will win the polls hands down.




"My spiritual contact with Sivasiddhar says that the "spirit" of former Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa and her blessings are with Deepa, and this will do good for Tamil Nadu" Govindaraj said.




When asked about the claim of AIADMK general secretary Sasikala that majority of MLAs are with her, Govindaraj said that it will not work.

அதற்கு பதிலாக வேறு மோதிரத்தை அணியலாம் என்றும், ஜோதிடர் அறிவுரை கூறியுள்ளதால், புது மோதிரம் அணிவது குறித்து, சசிகலா யோசித்து வருகிறார் என்றும், போயஸ் தோட்டத் தகவல்கள் தெரிவிக்கின்றன.

Yale University should be renamed for the following reason:

Elihu Yale was a Boston-born Briton who who was sent by the East India Company to India to prospect for and extend its trading rights in the subcontinent in the 1680s, long before the U.S was even founded. Basing himself in what is now Chennai during the Aurangazeb era, he amassed a fortune, cheating both his employers and the people of India, while going on to become the Governor of Fort St.George.




The East India Company eventually cottoned on to his rackets and he was packed off home in 1699 after some two decades of rapacious excesses in India, but not before he became known as a slave trader who decreed that every outbound ship from Madras would be packed with ten slaves.




In between his savage capers in India, Yale gave a modest contribution of about 800 pounds through auctioned goods to a group of ministers trying to set up a college in Connecticut, US, and in return was honored with naming the college after him, never mind his unsavory reputation that included hanging a local stable boy to death because he stole a company horse.

The name doesn't do credit to the University and hence there is a move to change its name,

If a family spends above Rs 5 lakh on a wedding, it has to contribute 10 per cent of the amount on marriages of girls from poor families.
Many of you may not be aware that there was a restriction to the number of guests invited for marriages in the late sixties and early seventees.
I remember in my ( youthful) days, people used to complain about huge expenses and wastage in marriages and the enormous tension it causes to the groom's parents. It was then suggested by many that marriages should be made simple and performed in Temples. But to day I find that a betrothal ceremony is celebrated as an yesterday's costly marriage and a marriage is celebrated as never before most lavishly. We know how a BJP ex minister celebrated his daughter's marriage in Bangalore in a pompous manner at a time when most people found it next to impossible to have a reasonable amount of money in their hands for their essential day to day living because of demonetisation. Such marriages get extraordinary publicity as well. It is time that such vulgar display of wealth is stopped and if not heavily taxed.
Of late marriages have come to mean display of vulgar wealth

நம்பிக்கையோ நம்பிக்கை!
திருப்பூர் மாவட்டம், காங்கயம் - சிவன்மலை யில், பிரசித்தி பெற்ற ஸ்ரீ சுப்ரமணிய சுவாமி கோவில் உள்ளது.
பழமை வாய்ந்த இக்கோவிலின் சிறப்பு அம்சமாக, 'ஆண்டவன் உத்தரவு' பெட்டி உள்ளது. ஏதாவது, ஒரு பக்தரின் கனவில் தோன்றும் சிவன் மலை ஆண்டவர், குறிப்பிட்ட பொருளை உத்தரவு பெட்டியில் வைத்து, பூஜிக்கு மாறு கட்டளையிடுவார்.
உத்தரவு கிடைத்தபக்தர், கோவிலுக்கு வந்து சொன்னால், அதை உறுதி செய்ய, ஆண்டவனிடம் பூ கேட்டு அனுமதி பெற்று, அதன்பின், உத்தரவு பொருள் பெட்டியில் வைக்கப்படும்.
அந்த பொருள், அடுத்த உத்தரவு வரும் வரை, பெட்டி யில் இருக்கும். அந்த பொருள் தொடர்பான ஏதாவது ஒரு தாக்கம் ஏற்படுவதாக, பக்தர்கள் உறுதியாக நம்புகின்றனர்.ஆண்டவன் உத்தரவு பெட்டியில், துப்பாக்கிவைத்த போது, சீனா போர், நீர் வைத்து பூஜித்த போது, சுனாமி என, பல்வேறு சம்பவங்களை பக்தர்கள் பட்டியலிடுகின்றனர்.
ஜன., 10 முதல், ஆண்டவர் உத்தரவு பெட்டியில், இரும்பு சங்கிலி வைத்து பூஜை செய்யப்பட்டு
வருகிறது. இந்நிலையில் நேற்று, சசிகலா உள்ளிட்டோ ருக்கு, சிறை தண்டனையை உறுதி செய்து,சுப்ரீம்கோர்ட் உத்தரவிட்டுள்ளது.
இந்த தீர்ப்பை, முன்கூட்டியே உணர்த்தும் வகையில் தான், சிவன்மலை ஆண்டவர், இரும்பு சங்கிலி வைத்து பூஜிக்க உத்தரவிட்ட தாக கருதி, பக்தர்கள் பரவசமடைந்து உள்ளனர்.

நம்பிக்கை பொய்க்கவில்லை.
