I would like to see a poll among the  crowds who are protesting on the streets  how many of them  voted in this election?

one of the best recent quote . Alas more people did not read this

You can't have people making decisions about the future of the world who are scientifically illiterate. That's a recipe for disaster. And I don't mean just whether a politician is scientifically literate, but people who vote politicians into office. Neil deGrasse Tyson

One of the symptoms of an absence of innovation is the fact that you lose your jobs. Everyone else catches up with you. They can do what you do better than you or cheaper than you. And in a multinational corporate-free market enterprise, it is the company's obligation to take the factory to a place where they can make it more cheaply. Neil deGrasse Tyson

Let's say intelligence is your ability to compose poetry, symphonies, do art, math and science. Chimps can't do any of that, yet we share 99 percent DNA. Everything that we are, that distinguishes us from chimps, emerges from that one-percent difference. Neil deGrasse Tyson

Keep winding the Clock for tomorrow is another day.

Dear Mr. Nadeau: 

As long as there is one upright man, as long as there is one compassionate 

woman, the contagion may spread and the scene is not desolate. Hope is 

the thing that is left to us, in a bad time. 1 shall get up Sunday morning 

and wind the clock, as a contribution to order and steadfastness. 

Sailors have an expression about the weather: they say, the weather is 

a great bluffer. I guess the same is true Of Our human society—things can 

100k dark, then a break shows in the clouds, and all is changed, sometimes 

rather suddenly. It is quite obvious that the human race has made a queer 

mess of life on this planet. But as a people we probably harbor seeds of 

goodness that have lain for a long time waiting to sprout when the 

conditions are right. Man's curiosity, his relentlessness, his inventiveness, 

his ingenuity have led him into deep trouble. We can only hope that these 

same traits will enable him to claw his way out. 

Hang on to your hat. Hang on to your hope. And wind the clock, for 

tomorrow is another day. 

Sincerely. 

E.B white

WIND THE CLOCK 

E. B. WHITE to MR NADEAU 

March 30th, 1973 

Author E, B. White won numerous awards in his lifetime, and with good reason. Born in 

1899. he was one of the greatest essayists of his time. writing countless influential 

pieces for both The New Yorker and Harper's; in 1959, he co-authored the multi-million 

selling, expanded edition of The Elements of Style to much acclaim; he wrote children's 

books which have gone on to become classics, such as Stuart tittle and Charlotte's 

Web. He was also responsible for writing hundreds Of wonderful letters. 

In March 1973, he wrote the following perfectly formed reply to a Mr Nadeau, who 

sought White's opinion on what he saw a s a bleak future for the human race.


 

The Great White hope?ABI KI bAAr Trump Sarkaar.

Great Hope A long-awaited
champion and savior. the unproven hero Of a cause. who is invested—and burdened—with the unrealized 

hopes and expectations of adherents. 




The term came into being after Jack Johnson, a black man, won the 

world heavyweight boxing championship in 1908. White supremacists  couldn't 

abide the notion and launched a search for a "great white hope" to take the crown from him.

Their first candidate was Jim Jeffries. a former champ lured out of

retirement. Johnson knocked him out and disposed of other hopefuls as well

(including Victor McLaglen. who later did better as an actor). 



Johnson further infuriated his enemies with his flamboyant way Of life 

outside the ring, including his marriages to white women.

 Prosecutors went after him; he was convicted of violating the 

Mann Act (for transporting a woman, who later

became his wife, across a state line for sexual purposes), spent several

years in exile in Europe. and eventually served a year in Leavenworth Prison.

In 1915 another great white hope. Jess Willard. finally dethroned

Johnson, although Johnson was later to claimed that he threw the fight.




To do list;




Build the wall/transport all the illegal aliens across the wall




Make Mexico pay for it




Make ISIS disappear




Renegotiate Iran nuclear deal and get the best deal.




Make jobs appear in every small town in USA




Repeal Obama care and replace it with a fantastic healthcare plan

Who is Wong Kim Ark?

 Now that we have a president with  the  popular mandate with both houses under republican control ,What  will prevent  a constitutional amendment  to overthrow the US VS  Wong Kim Ark  ruling ?

from WIKI

Legislative attempts to overturn Wong Kim Ark[edit]

In response to public reaction against immigration^[114] and fears that U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants could serve as links to permit legal residency and eventual citizenship for family members who would otherwise be ineligible to remain in the country, bills have been introduced from time to time in Congress which have challenged the conventional interpretation of the Citizenship Clause and have sought (thus far unsuccessfully) to actively and explicitly deny citizenship at birth to U.S.-born children of foreign visitors or illegal aliens.^[193] As one example among many, the "Birthright Citizenship Act of 2009"—introduced in the House of Representatives of the 111th Congress as H.R. 1868, by Representative Nathan Deal of Georgia—was an attempt to exclude U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants from being considered subject to the jurisdiction of the United States for purposes of the Citizenship Clause.^[194] A similar proposal—named the "Birthright Citizenship Act of 2011"—was introduced in the House as H.R. 140 in the (112th) Congress on January 5, 2011 by Representative Steve King of Iowa,^[195] and in the Senate as S. 723 on April 5, 2011 by Senator David Vitter of Louisiana.^[196] Neither bill was discussed in Congress prior to the end of the session.

Since an act of Congress challenging the accepted interpretation of the Citizenship Clause might very possibly be ruled unconstitutional by courts choosing to rely onWong Kim Ark as a precedent,^[185] proposals have also been made to amend the Constitution so as to override the Fourteenth Amendment's language and deny citizenship to U.S.-born children of illegal aliens or foreign visitors. For example, Senator Vitter of Louisiana introduced Senate Joint Resolution (S.J.Res.) 6 in the 111th Congress, but like H.R. 1868, it failed to reach the floor of either house of Congress before the 111th Congress adjourned on December 22, 2010.^[197] Vitter reintroduced this same proposed amendment as S.J.Res. 2 in the 112th Congress on January 25, 2011; it was not brought up for discussion or voted upon in either house of Congress.^[198]

In 2010 and 2011, state legislators in Arizona introduced bills proposing to deny regular birth certificates to children born in Arizona whose parents cannot prove they are in the United States legally. Supporters of such legislation reportedly hope their efforts will cause the issue of birthright citizenship for U.S.-born children of illegal aliens to reach the Supreme Court, possibly resulting in a new decision narrowing or overruling Wong Kim Ark.^{[199][200][201]}

The termites of Indian politics

The termites of  Indian politics

Do patients value free medicines?

A RESOUNDING NO!

in my experience.

A new model of tracking TB in India 

"

Not everyone believes that the free medication helps patients complete treatment. Umesh Patel, a general physician in Mehsana, treats about 60 patients a year, and only about 15 complete the treatment. He believes that free medicines are “not worth it” because patients do not “value” them“If a family pays for the medicines, they will ensure that the patient takes the medicines,” he said. Only the poorest patients should get free medicines, not every TB patient who comes to a clinic, he said.

I agree 100 %

Cashless Society. India Demonetizes Currency

 It is a habit carried over from my life in India  i always carry some currency in a hidden pocket of my wallet
it has come in handy sometimes.

But the best way to get rid of black money is to go for a cashless society .

But unless this happens all over the world it will not achieve it's purpose.
As long as  there are bankers  and small countries  trying to make a fast buck  by being a haven for illegally  gotten wealth no amount of demonetization will work
it may have some  shock and  awe but it will go the same  way  of US shock and  awe  in iraq
only to find  ISIS.

this was the opinion of then  RBI governor on Demonetization in 1978

H.M.Patel recalled in his book Glimpses of Indian Economic Policy: an Insider’s View, that when finance minister H.M. Patel informed him about the decision to withdraw high-denomination notes, he had pointed out that such exercises seldom produces striking results.

Most people, Patel said, who accept illegal gratification or are otherwise recipients of black money, rarely keep their ill-gotten earnings in the form of currency for long.

The idea that black money or wealth is held in the form of notes tucked away in suitcases or pillow cases is naive, Patel said. In any case even those who are caught napping or waiting will have a chance to convert notes through paid agents as some provision has to be made to convert at par notes tendered in small amounts for which explanation cannot be reasonably sought, he added.

If you do happen to be a super crazy racist, you’re probably not voting Democrat these days.

 The deja vu
 trump is  doing nothing but  putting  old wine in a new bottle

NIXON CONTINUES THE SEDUCTION. With the infamous Southern Strategy. Basically, he used the fear of hippies and commies and radical black people to woo the southern states again. He uses dog-whistle terms like “bussing” and “states rights” to surreptitiously convince racist southern whites that he is down for the cause. It wasn’t too hard, because they were already grumpy about Johnson being too progressive.

Pain Assessment Using Facial Expressions : Machine VS expert physician

Pain Assessment Using Facial Expressions By Human And Machine

 Recently I came across this paper.
I wish I had this  machine in my clinic.
I will not have to keep second guessing who is a junkie after  his/her next fix and who is a genuine patient in pain.

 Sanjay Kumar Singh, V.Rastogi, I .L . Singh, S.K.Singh Department of Computer Science Engineering, IIT (BHU), Varanasi, India Department of Anaesthesiology, Institute of Medical Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi-India Department of Psychology, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi-India Tel.: +91 9452185948, E-mail address: sanjay.rs.cse12@itbhu.ac.in ABSTRACT: PAIN is the most common reason that patients go to visit doctors. Pain is not an easy sensation which will be simply accessed and could be directly measured. To make the right diagnosis and determine the most effective treatment plan for patients presenting with pain, systematic and precise pain assessment is required. The visual changes reflected on the face of a person in pain may be apparent for only a few seconds and occur instinctively. Tracking these changes is a time-consuming and difficult process in a clinical setting. This is often why it's motivating researchers and experts from medical, psychology and computer fields to conduct inter-disciplinary research in capturing facial expressions. The facial expressions of children's (0-2 years) in pain and in non-communicative patients need to be recognized as they are of utmost importance for proper diagnosis. The direct measurement of pain is related to the computation approach whereas indirect measurement is by observers ratings. The aim of this study is to correlate the results obtained from the observer, practitioner, and machine. The results showed that the experts often underestimated pain intensity in comparison to the observer and computational approaches used. This will cover both spheres of psychological vulnerability and resilience to pain along with the advanced techniques used in machine learning thereby improving the quality of care by increasing its accessibility to physicians.

If SUBU the monkey of Delhi, gets paid I too should get paid

 “I want the full money, plus 12 per cent interest rate. So where is the (question of) compromise? Maybe the government suggested it. The matter is in court and I will fight it there.”


Everything is extraordinary  for the  companion to Beijing monkey Mr. Subramanian swamy who wants 70 Lakhs for not teaching the  IIT grads.
May be the  IIT board should give him the money or the  IIT Delhi Alumni should  start a collection for him  as they were spared  his  stupid talk for a number of years 

IIT-Delhi: No out of court settlement with Subramanian Swamy on arrears claim

As per Rule 54, IIT had to only pay the difference between Subramanian Swamy’s arrears and his earnings from Harvard. The politician, however, contended that he should be deemed to have been on Extraordinary Leave (EOL).
