A big drop in Covid-19 infections in Kerala has led to the sharpest fall in weekly cases recorded in India since mid-June, with the country reporting less than 2 lakh cases in the seven-day period for the first time in nearly seven months.
India recorded less than 1.56 lakh fresh Covid cases in the week ending Sunday (September 27-October 3), a 22.2% decline over the previous week's tally over 2 lakh. A sharper percentage drop in weekly cases was last recorded in June 14-20, 15 weeks ago, when the cases had fallen by 29.5%.
In absolute terms, this week's case count was the lowest since March 8-14, close to seven months ago, when a similar number of cases (nearly 1.56 lakh) were recorded as the second wave of the pandemic spread in the country.
The steep decline in Covid cases has come about due to Kerala numbers falling sharply. The state recorded 90,291 new cases of the virus during the week, a 25.6% drop from the previous week's tally of 1.21 lakh. This is the first time in 11 weeks that the state has reported less than 1 lakh cases in a seven-day period ending Sunday.
This the third week of declining cases in Kerala, indicating that the post-Onam wave of infections in the state was firmly on the wane. The state, however, continues to account for a majority of new cases in the country. In the current week, Kerala's share in national cases was 58%, down from close to 61% in the previous week. At the peak of its latest wave, Kerala accounted for close to 70% of all cases in the country.
Cases continue to rise in Mizoram although the rate of increase is now slowing down. Meanwhile, India reported 1,860 deaths from the virus in the week, a dip of 7% over the previous seven days. This was the lowest weekly toll from the pandemic since March 15-21.
Geuss what! I can play the chorus of "Another Brick In The Wall Pt. 2" on my guitar! I went to the guitar store and wasted my money on the sheet music for "The Wall", and immediately felt bad. Well, now look! Yeah I know, that's really not that amazing, but at least it's a step in the right direction. I'm sure I can sing for a band, so that's all good. I've also narrowed down a list of possible names to two choices. Vote on which you like most with the poll.Ventresca: I would describe my music as Pop infused with some dance undertones.
Ventresca: My pain, love, hurt and happiness.
Question: Can you tell us about filming the Craving video?
Ventresca: Well since ‘Craving’ is my first music video, I can tell you that it was a learning experience and I never expected to shoot in two locations, which is what happened-Toronto and NYC.
Ventresca: I prefer performing live and interacting with my audience for sure.
Ventresca: There are so many talented artists but it really would be a dream if Charlie Puth would watch a performance of mine.
Ventresca: Shawn Mendes, Camila Cabello, Dua Lipa, and Charlie Puth.
Ventresca: Dua Lipa, Charlie Puth, Sia, Lady Gaga, Selena Gomez and Madison Beer.
Ventresca: Charlie Puth, Sia or Lady Gaga.
Question: What’s a typical day like?
Ventresca: I’m in school half the day so my routine, depending on the day is filled with, vocal lessons, dance lessons, piano lessons, rehearsal and I only get Sunday to myself.
Ventresca: Becoming more and more fearless, embracing creative ideas, and knowing that I can be a good role model for other aspiring young artists.
Testing the high learning of MRI technology from lectures.
The pilot is aiming to create video lectures for the course which are given available through youtube.com and linked to MyCourses, but to also to create interactive online quizzes which can be used to test the high learning of MRI technology from lectures. The plan is to use MyCourses for this.
The goal is also to create exercises (both mathematical and computerized) which are automatically graded. The plan is to use MyCourses, A+, Mathworks tools, and probably other tools for this.
Designing interactive MRI experiments using the lab-scale MRI device which is to be purchased to the department in early 2017. The aim is to enable online experimenting and remote attendance to the experiments.
Finding the tools for keeping remote attendance to contact sessions. One option is Adobe Connect, but other options will be evaluated.@echo off

​Today we celebrate the birth of the church as God poured out his spirit and breathed life into his church. The Holy Spirit is the helper, comforter or advocate that Jesus told the disciples about in John 14 when he promised he would never leave them alone.
In the original Greek of the New Testament the word is paracletos. The word has been translated Advocate, Counselor, Comforter, and Intercessor, but each of those expresses only one facet of parakletos. The original readers of this Gospel would have heard the full richness of its various meanings.
As I did my usual google search for an image to paste onto this page I was surprised to discover that Paraclete is now a brand name used for the kind of full protective military armour used by modern soldiers in combat. At first I was a little shocked but the more I thought about it the more I concluded that this was indeed another great image for the Holy Spirit. Because not only does the presence of the Holy Spirit give us life, it also full protects, shields and equips us for all that the world throws up at us as believers.
Today as we celebrate Pentecost remember Jesus promise that he would never leave us on our own and that the presence of his Holy Spirit dwelling in our hearts means that he is always with us to strengthen and guide us as we go out in his name.A new study by Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) researchers has harnessed data and new analysis tools to address this question in four common diseases: rheumatoid arthritis; celiac disease; coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction (heart attack); and type 2 diabetes.
The study is electronically published in Nature Genetics.
The researchers developed a new statistical method built upon “polygenic risk score analysis” to estimate the heritable component of these diseases that is explained by common differences throughout the genome.
Their method takes advantage of data from previously published genome-wide association studies, or GWAS, an approach used to scan DNA samples for common genetic markers seen throughout the population – called SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms).
Using data on rheumatoid arthritis, they estimated that variation in hundreds of locations throughout the genome might explain 20 percent of rheumatoid arthritis risk, after excluding all of the known rheumatoid arthritis genetic risk factors.
They used computer simulations to demonstrate that the underlying genetic risk in rheumatoid arthritis is largely explained by many common alleles rather than rare mutations.
They observed similar results for celiac disease (43 percent), myocardial infarction (48 percent) and type 2 diabetes (49 percent).
According to the researchers, these methods can be applied to other genome-wide datasets (e.g., GWAS or whole genome sequencing) to estimate the degree to which there is a genetic component.
One exciting possibility is assessing the genetic basis of individual response to drugs.
“Our study reinforces a common thread in the literature, that many subtle differences throughout the genome explain much of the differences in risk for individuals for all kinds of diseases – this has powerful implications for the genetic architecture of disease, for risk prediction and prognosis, as well as for basic biology and developing new drug targets,” said co-senior author Soumya Raychaudhuri, MD, PhD, BWH Division of Immunology, Allergy and Rheumatology, assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School.
I had never seen them so quiet.
There was something haunting about the way the children clutched their poster boards and stared straight ahead.
They were like the statues of the Founding Fathers we had passed on the way there, solemn and unflinching and strong. They had a purpose. They had emotion. And they would stand there forever.
Huddled in my coat and scarf, I settled down on the road before the East side of the White House. Along with hundreds of other students, I turned my back on the capitol for 17 minutes on March 14 to support National Walkout Day.
I’m not political. I wasn’t there to shout at the president or criticize the NRA. I wasn’t even in D.
