JAIPUR, India (AP) — Police say a man upset over his daughter's lifestyle chopped her head off with a sword and then paraded it through his village before surrendering to authorities in western India.

Marble miner Ogad Singh's 20-year-old daughter had been living with her parents in the Rajasthani village of Dungarji after leaving her husband two years ago.

Police Superintendent Umesh Ojha says Singh was upset by his daughter having affairs with men, and became enraged when she eloped with one of them two weeks ago.

Ojha says Singh forced her to return home Sunday, and beheaded her Monday with a sword.

Rapidly modernizing India faces increasing social clashes as youths resist traditions like arranged marriage or limits on women venturing outside their parents' or husbands' homes.

Researchers Using Stem Cells to Grow New Teeth

It may be hard to remember what it was like to lose a tooth as a child, but many adults get an unpleasant reminder as they age when their teeth begin to fall out (even those who don’t play hockey) and must consider dentures or dental implants. For years, researchers have investigated stem cells in an effort to grow teeth made for a person’s own cells. Toward this end, endodontics professor Dr. Peter Murray and colleagues from the College of Dental Medicine at Nova Southeastern University (NSU) have developed methods to control adult stem cell growth toward generating dental tissue and “real” replacement teeth.

The NSU researchers’ approach is to extract stem cells from oral tissue, such as inside a tooth itself, or from bone marrow. After being harvested, the cells are mounted to a polymer scaffold in the shape of the desired tooth. The polymer is the same material used in bioreabsorable sutures, so the scaffold eventually dissolves away. Teeth can be grown separately then inserted into a patient’s mouth or the stem cells can be grown within the mouth reaching a full-sized tooth within a few months.

So far, teeth have been regenerated in mice and monkeys, and clinical trials with humans are underway, but whether the technology can generate teeth that are nourished by the blood and have full sensations remains to be seen. Teeth present a unique challenge for researchers because the stem cells must be stimulated to grow the right balance of hard tissue, dentin and enamel, while producing the correct size and shape.

Delhi Gurdwaras to Go Solar and Ban Plastic disposables

15 March, New Delhi: The Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) President, Paramjit Singh Sarna yesterday committed the second largest Sikh institution in the world to green action, while celebrating Sikh Environment Day, March 14.

In all the 16 Gurdwaras under DSGMC, the sangat was informed and encouraged to plant trees and save water at homes, offices and Gurdwaras. In addition, 19,000 Sikh pupils in Delhi were taught about the importance of the environment to Sikhism, and were urged to take action themselves.

“Sikh history and teachings give us a responsibility to protect our vulnerable Earth,” Paramjit Singh Sarna said.

“We are planning to make our Gurdwaras Solar powered and our Nagar Kirtans plastic-free and clean. And it will be soon our policy to ban disposables in all our Gurdwaras in New Delhi.”

“Sikh Environment Day is just a beginning, we have a long way to travel to counter the problems of global warming,” he continued.

The Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee also announced that it had enrolled all its 12 schools to celebrate Sikh Environment Day, also known as ‘Sikh Vatavaran Diwas’ by holding a wide variety of programs. These included the pupils reciting Sikh hymns, singing environmental songs, holding and attending seminars of environment conservation and reflecting Sikh teachings in an active way by planting trees, talking about waste reduction, implementing recycling policies etc, all under the leadership of DSGMC President, Paramjit Singh Sarna.

The schools also reported they would guide all their 19,000 students to limit their use of plastic bags & disposables and to make sure they all use water carefully in their schools and at home.

Daljit Singh Chairman Dharam Parchar Committee stated that, “It’s our duty to make our Mata Dharat livable and lovable for future generations. This initiative was taken by DSGMC to have all students, staff of Sri Har Krishan Public Schools to care for the environment paying tribute to Guru Har Rai Ji by following his footsteps. We want to encourage all Sikhs & other communities to lend a caring hand to our Mother earth and to be an inspiration for others.”

“I hope by the Grace of Akal Purakh next year we will put up a great and better show,” he added.

Sikh Environment Day marks the GurGaddi diwas of the Seventh Sikh Guru, Guru Har Rai Sahib, who had a history of passion for nature and protection of the environment. As a child he cried when he saw that a flower was hurt. The programme was initiated by EcoSikh (USA) in partnership with the Alliance of Religions and Conservation, and started with the support and encouragement of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP).

EcoSikh India Program Director, Ravneet Singh, said: “The effort by DSGMC for SIkh Environment Day was just phenomenal this year in New Delhi.”
