An Indian Inventor Disrupts The Period Industry
When Arunachalam Muruganantham decided he was going to do something about the fact that women in India can’t afford sanitary napkins, he went the extra mile: He wore his own for a week to figure out the best design.
When Arunachalam Muruganantham hit a wall in his research on creating a sanitary napkin for poor women, he decided to do what most men typically wouldn’t dream of. He wore one himself--for a whole week. Fashioning his own menstruating uterus by filling a bladder with goat’s blood, Muruganantham went about his life while wearing women’s underwear, occasionally squeezing the contraption to test out his latest iteration. It resulted in endless derision and almost destroyed his family. But no one is laughing at him anymore, as the sanitary napkin-making machine he went on to create is transforming the lives of rural women across India.
Right now, 88% of women in India resort to using dirty rags, newspapers, dried leaves, and even ashes during their periods, because they just can’t afford sanitary napkins, according to "Sanitation protection: Every Women’s Health Right," a study by AC Nielsen. Typically, girls who attain puberty in rural areas either miss school for a couple of days a month or simply drop out altogether. Muruganantham’s investigation into the matter began when he questioned his wife about why she was trying to furtively slip away with a rag. She responded by saying that buying sanitary napkins meant no milk for the family.

News Khabran / US Govt trying to censor Internet
« on: November 16, 2011, 01:24:17 PM »| PROTECT IP Act Breaks The Internet | |
PROTECT-IP is a bill that has been introduced in the Senate and the House and is moving quickly through Congress. It gives the government and corporations the ability to censor the net, in the name of protecting "creativity". The law would let the government or corporations censor entire sites-- they just have to convince a judge that the site is "dedicated to copyright infringement."

Marginal farmers allotted permits for plying super luxury buses? Sounds surprising? However, in Punjab, it is a fact. Our Day and Night News Investigation reports three such cases. What's more astounding is that persons allotted these permits are unaware about their so-called new status.

Malaria scientist celebrates success after 24 years
Tue, Oct 18 2011
By Kate Kelland, Health and Science Correspondent
SEATTLE (Reuters) - For Joe Cohen, a GlaxoSmithKline research scientist who has spent 24 years trying to create the world's first malaria vaccine, Tuesday, October 18, 2011 goes down as a fabulous day.
"There were many ups and downs, and moments over the years when we thought 'Can we do it? Should we continue? Or is it really just too tough?," he told Reuters, as data showing the success of his RTS,S vaccine were unveiled at an international conference on malaria.
"But today I feel fabulous. This is a dream of any scientist -- to see your life's work actually translated into a medicine ... that can have this great impact on peoples' lives. How lucky am I?"
Final stage clinical trial data on RTS,S, also known as Mosquirix, showed it halved the risk of African children getting malaria, making it likely to become the world's first successful vaccine against the deadly disease.
While scientists say it is no "silver bullet" and will not end the mosquito-borne infection on its own, it is being hailed as a crucial weapon in the fight against malaria and one that could speed the path to eventual worldwide eradication.
Malaria is caused by a parasite carried in the saliva of mosquitoes. It kills more than 780,000 people per year, most of them babies or very young children in Africa.
Cohen's vaccine goes to work at the point when the parasite enters the human bloodstream after a mosquito bite. By stimulating an immune response, it can prevent the parasite from maturing and multiplying in the liver.
Without that immune response, the parasite re-enters the bloodstream and infects red blood cells, leading to fever, body aches and, in some cases, death.

Bramalea-Gore-Malton: NDP’s Singh squeaks to win
October 06, 2011 Chantaie Allick
For the first time in the riding's short history a New Democrat MP will represent Bramalea-Gore-Malton at Queen's Park. Jagmeet Singh won in a race that was too close to call right up to the end.
“I'm extremely excited to start working for the people of Ontario. I had a strong feeling the community members were behind me and I'm honoured to represent them,” said Singh immediately after the win.
While there were seven candidates in the riding, the ones most watched were the Progressive Conservatives’ Sanjeev Maingi, NDP’s Singh and Liberal incumbent Dr. Kuldip Kular.
Bramalea-Gore-Malton, which straddles Brampton and Mississauga, was a key riding in the election.
It was expected to be a three-way race from the beginning. In the federal election the riding, an 18-year Liberal stronghold, was won by the Conservatives, which left many wondering how things would turn on Oct. 6. In addition, Singh ran federally in May and lost by just 500 votes.
He received 19,000 votes in the federal election. “A lot of those same people want to vote for me again and more,” Singh had said in the week before the election. “If everyone comes out to vote we can pull it off.”
A poll conducted on the weekend had Singh ahead of his opponents at 35.4 per cent support, Kular with 31.7 per cent and Maingi further behind at 24.4 per cent.
Singh, 32, a lawyer, is decades younger than his two primary opponents and it showed in his responses during a televised debate held in the riding. While the other candidates stayed on message in stilted, rehearsed sound bites, he was quick to answer questions and challenged his opponents on their record and platform.
“The Liberals have had four years to fulfill this promise and they haven’t. So how can we trust them again?” Singh said about redevelopment of Peel Memorial hosipital. Maingi repeated the same sentiment shortly after.
The Liberals announced new funding for the completion of Peel Memorial hospital in September, days before the election was called. Both Maingi and Singh questioned the timing of the announcement during televised debates in the riding. The hospital was closed in 2007 and has been sitting vacant since then.
Clad in a grey three piece suit and black turban, Singh stood out beside his opponents dressed in box cut dark suits.
Singh also tried to engage a younger segment of the riding’s population during his campaign. He was the only candidate on YouTube with a satirical video about him.
Singh’s campaign was one run by young people. “We did it, we did it,” the young volunteers, who filled the hall at his celebration, kept repeating with claps and high fives.
He says the success of both his campaigns “showcases what young people can do when they come together.”
The area’s new MPP must now find ways to create jobs in the region which was hard hit by job losses in 2010, particularly in manufacturing.
The riding is also faced with an exploding population and the many challenges that come with it, including a strained health-care system. It saw a 27.4 per cent growth between 2001 and 2006.

India's kabaddi team drubs Pakistan to lift title
PTI | Sep 27, 2011, 02.53PM IST
CHANDIGARH: The Indian Kabaddi team on Tuesday lifted its first ever Circle Style Championship title by defeating archrivals Pakistan 53-38 at Tabriz in Iran.
India and Pakistan were almost on even terms at the half- time score of 24-22, but in the second half India dominated proceedings, opening up a huge 15-points difference.
It is for the first time that the championship is being played outside India in which eight nations participated.
Punjab's Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal, the man behind popularising the traditional game at international level, said that the Asia Cup was a trailor of the second World Cup, to be held in the state from November 1.
Sukhbir, who went to Iran especially for this tournament, announced a cash prize of Rs 25 lakh for the Indian team.
Sandeep Singh emerged as best raider and Hardavinderjit Singh also mesmerised the audience with his performance. Ekam Singh Dhaliwal emerged as best 'Zaaphi' (stopper).
In a glittering ceremony, Sukhbir gave away the gold medals to the Indian Team. Pakistan bagged silver while Iran and Nepal bagged bronze.
India had earlier crushed Afghanistan 69-20, Sri Lanka 72-32 on the first day, Iran 67-26 on the second and Nepal 61-42 in the semifinal.
