HCT Services and Resources for Students
Student Services
Student Services at the HCT campuses involve the campuses' Academic Services and Student Life departments, which work closely with Central Registry and Student Engagement and Success. These departments ensure the academic integrity of HCT credentials, as well as students' access to a supportive campus environment. The departments' roles help to promote all students' personal well-being and academic success, as well as to prepare them to contribute to the on-going development of the UAE.
The Campus Academic Services departments provide all record-related services from admission, registration, official transcripts, course and examination schedules, student timetables and verification of graduation eligibility up to final credential award.
The Campus Student Life departments are responsible for supporting the different aspects of student engagement and success, starting with new student recruitment, admissions and orientation. The Student Life departments assist with financial aid services, student behavior, discipline and attendance issues, safety and security, counselling services, wellness, cultural and mental growth and any accommodations for Students of Determination. They give guidance to students organizing student councils, peer tutoring, leadership programs extra and co-curricular athletic and recreational activities as well as clubs and other special events. In addition, Student Engagement and Success manages all mandatory student volunteering activities. The Department has also deployed and manages an updated version of Student Feedback System. Since the irruption of COVID-19 pandemic, the DigiCampus platform has been utilized to provide a wide range of Student Life activities and events.
Volunteering Program at HCT
HCT provides its students with a range of community service and volunteering activities. This is designed to enhance citizenship of Emirati youth, increase their involvement with their communities and to preserve a cohesive society. The activities aim to enhance cultural and social awareness among HCT students, lead them to undertake positive and effective roles in their societies and develop their personal skills and capabilities. All Bachelor degree students are required to complete at least 100 volunteering hours as part of their graduation requirements.
Career Services
The HCT Career Services are staffed by specialists in career management and counselling, which place strong emphasis on career development in a constantly changing global workforce.
The activities of the HCT Career Centers include:
- assisting students to make informed career decisions, and provide career assessment opportunities;
- providing one-to-one counselling to help students match their interests with suitable careers;
- building relationships between the HCT, employers and business communities;
- organizing career-centered events, including summer orientation sessions for high-school students;
- posting employment listings received from employers in both the private and public sectors;
- assisting students in the search for employment and liaising between employers, graduates and students; and
- providing student-focused workshops on topics such as career planning, developing a positive professional attitude, CV and resume writing as well as job interview techniques.
Counselling Service
The HCT provides personal and academic counselling to help students with their classroom performance or social adjustment at the campus.
Campus Counselors play a vital role in assessing special admissions cases in terms of degrees of impediment and availability of accommodations at HCT. They are available to meet students who are having academic or personal problems that interfere with their classroom performance or social adjustment. Counsellors can help students find solutions to their problems and facilitate academic and personal growth.
Students are assigned an Academic Adviser at the start of each academic year. The adviser is usually a class teacher who will give academic advice and monitor progress.
Students of Determination
Under the conditions outlined in the HCT policy, reasonable academic accommodation is provided to Students of Determination.
Students of Determination are eligible for appropriate support which could take in the form of special equipment or materials, or additional time to complete course requirements. Students are required to provide appropriate medical documentation detailing their special need.
It is important that students contact their Campus Counsellor as early as possible in order to obtain the necessary support.
Extra-curricular Activities
Throughout the academic year, a wide variety of physical, social and cultural activities are available to interested students. Students are encouraged to make every effort to participate in these activities, which are designed to supplement and complement their classroom work, enhance their experience at the HCT, and provide a healthy balance in life.
In many cases, students organize or coordinate campus events such as film festivals, athletic and recreational competitions, health and wellness days, heritage and cultural displays, art shows and employability events. These events develop individual and group initiatives, teamwork, leadership, and employability skills. They provide the students with the opportunity to apply the skills they have learned, to support charitable causes and to demonstrate academic achievements. During COVID-19 pandemic a wide range of the extra-curricular activities were digitalized and continued to be offered on DigiCampus platform.
Safety and Security
The HCT is concerned that all individuals the students meet are properly authorized to enter the campuses. All HCT campuses have security gates, with security personnel stationed at each entrance. These security officers allow only those who are properly authorized to enter the campus.
Security officers have the right to prevent female students from leaving the campus without permission, and to carry out random checks on student and staff vehicles.
All HCT security officers are appointed for the safety of the staff and students of the campuses, and should be treated with proper respect.
During COVID-19 pandemic all precautions stipulated by UAE authorities to control spread of the pandemic were taken to ensure that all campuses were safe and secured for student, faculty members and staff.
Fire Drills
In case of fire, each campus has procedures to follow. Students should learn the locations of emergency exits, fire alarms and fire extinguishers. In the event of a fire drill or emergency, students must follow the directions of teachers or security personnel.
Medical Care
HCT strives to prevent accident and illness in the learning and working environment. Where there is still limited risk of injury, or in cases of sudden illness, first aid will be provided to reduce the consequences of this. When students at campus are injured or feel unwell it is important they receive medical attention as soon as possible. The licensed nurse at the campus, in conjunction with the medical care and first aid procedures, will enable to determine suitable medical care & first aid provision.
Campus Student Councils
The Campus Student Council is a student leadership group at each campus. The President of the Campus Student Council represents the student body in the Campus Council and acts as a link between the students and campus management to improve student life. All enrolled students are eligible to vote in the Campus Student Council elections.
The Campus Student Council plans and implements a range of campus activities through regular meetings. Campus Student Council representatives of all the campuses also meet and elect a system-wide HCT Student Council President and Vice President. This HCT Student Council represents the wider HCT student body nationally and internationally at educational institutions, conferences and student forums, advocates students' interests, participates in discussions of national and international issues related to students, and promotes communication between students and the HCT management. If you are interested to become a member of your Campus Student Council, please contact your Campus Student Life office.
The Campus Student Council is made up of the President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and three members. Every academic year, two of the Campus Student Councils members are elected as representatives of HCT student body.
Financial Aid
HCT provides financial aid support to eligible, enrolled students facing financial challenges that might inhibit their ability to continue with their academic studies. Eligible students are encouraged to fill the on-line application and provide all mandatory information and documents. The financial aid is provided in various forms as listed below:
- Cash Aid
- Laptop Provision
- College transportation (available in women's campuses only)
Students who require assistance are encouraged to contact the Campus Student Life Office or Campus Counsellor for further details regarding financial aid.
The Higher Colleges of Technology recognize that our Alumni are the pride and ambassadors of our institution. Our graduates carry their knowledge, skills, creativity, and experiences beyond the boundaries of the campuses.
Alumni Relations Office
Each campus has an Alumni Relations Office within the Outreach and Engagement Department, who will be the main point of contact for all alumni related matters; communication with Alumni on HCT events, opportunities for alumni to actively continue their involvement with HCT and contribute in alumni Engagement Programs and fostering ongoing relations between the alumni and HCT community.
Alumni Engagement Programs:
- Campus Alumni Council The main goals of the Campus Alumni Council are to help nurture and strengthen the relations between alumni and the HCT, to introduce, lead and drive alumni initiatives and projects in campus or within the local community and to represent and advocate HCT Alumni feedback, suggestion and concerns to HCT Management.
- Mentorship Program is designed to allow HCT alumni to contribute and to share knowledge and experience with students, providing career guidance and advice, and helping prepare the next generation of HCT graduates and leaders.
- Ambassadorship Program is designed to give an opportunity for the Alumni to share personal testimonies about their experiences at the HCT and inspire students via orientation program, talks to year 1 students and workshops
Use of Information Technology & Social Media
Social media platforms allow individuals to communicate with potentially large audiences, which, given the interpersonal nature of social media, can blur the lines between a "personal voice" and an "institutional, or corporate, voice". Despite the immense opportunities of social media, there are significant legal and reputational risks involved. Therefore, all students using social media must understand that their comments can be used, or perceived, to reflect negatively on HCT.
Social Media platforms can be used by students for educational purposes as part of their courses whilst they are studying at HCT.
As HCT provides an integrated learning environment, which incorporates the use of smart learning and modern technologies, including social media, students must use these tools responsibly in their educational activities and scientific research.
HCT students must abide by the conditions set out in the Student Code of Conduct for Use of Social Media, which details the responsibilities of users, and conditions of use, with respect to the Internet and social media platforms. Students will be held accountable for any wrongful, illegal or unauthorized use, of these platforms, which may ultimately result in termination from HCT.

The small Chapel of Saint Onouphrius is located in the Valley of Arbain, to the south of the monastery. It is built at the site of massive boulders that converge to form a small natural enclosure beneath them. This provided shelter for ascetics in centuries gone by. 'They wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth' (Hebrews 11:38).
The chapel is easily overlooked amidst all the stones and boulders in the valley.
These small, humble chapels are pervaded with stillness and spiritual presence. The carved iconostasion is painted in bright colours.
The carved and paneled door is now cracked from exposure to the desert sun. It is being held open by a leaning stick. These make it easier to stand during the long Orthodox services.

Golden Huskies are a popular hybrid breed that combines the traits of the Siberian Husky and the Golden Retriever. The cost of a Golden Husky can vary widely depending on the breeder and location, with prices ranging from $500 to $2,500 or more.
Are you thinking about getting a Golden Husky and want to know how much they cost? Don't worry, you've come to the right place! The cost of a Golden Husky can vary greatly depending on the breeder and location.
In this article, we'll explore all the factors that affect their price, as well as tips for finding an affordable pup. We'll also cover important questions to ask your breeder before making any commitments.
By the end of it, you'll have a better understanding of what owning a Golden Husky entails – both financially and emotionally! So read on if you're ready to learn more about these amazing dogs.
Golden Huskies: A Beautiful Breed
When you think of Golden Huskies, you might imagine a stunning mix of golden fur and bright blue eyes. But there's more to this breed than meets the eye.
Golden Huskies are an active breed that need plenty of exercise and attention. They also require regular health care such as vaccinations and heartworm prevention, so it's important to consider these costs when deciding if this breed is right for you.
Grooming habits are also important when owning a Golden Husky. These dogs have medium-length coats that require regular brushing in order to stay tangle-free and healthy-looking. In addition, they may need occasional baths or trims depending on their lifestyle and activity level. It's important to keep in mind that grooming can be time-consuming, so be sure to factor this into your decision-making process as well.
Golden Huskies can make great family pets since they often form strong bonds with their owners and enjoy being around people of all ages. They usually respond well to training, although they tend to be independent thinkers who like having some freedom in their lives too!
It's easy to see why so many people fall in love with the adorable faces of the Golden Husky! With the right amount of love, care, and commitment from an owner, these beautiful pups can bring joy into any home for years to come – just don't forget about the financial costs involved!
Factors That Affect the Price of Golden Huskies
You won't find two Golden Huskies with the same price tag; their cost fluctuates greatly depending on the breeder and your geographical area like a roller coaster of prices. Factors that affect the cost of Golden Huskies include:
- The genetic traits of the pup, such as coat color, eye color, size, etc.
- The health concerns associated with a puppy's parents or littermates.
- The availability of puppies in your local area.
- The reputation of the breeder and how long they've been breeding dogs.
The cost for a Golden Husky can range from $500 to over $2,500 or more depending on all these factors. If you're looking for a top-of-the-line puppy with excellent genetics and no known health issues, then expect to pay more than if you were just looking for an average pet quality pup.
Even within one specific breeder's kennel, there may be pups that sell for different prices based on their individual characteristics and qualities.
When searching for a good breeder, it's important to research each one thoroughly before making any purchases. This will help ensure that you're getting your pup from an ethically responsible source who takes great care in breeding healthy pups without compromising their welfare in any way.
Reputable breeders should provide information about both parents' medical history, as well as photos/videos of puppies available at the time so buyers can make sure they're getting exactly what they want before committing to purchase one of their pups. Additionally, it's important to ask questions about warranties or guarantees offered by the breeder regarding any potential health problems that may arise after taking home your new pet (e.g., hip dysplasia testing).
Finally, when considering how much you'll spend on your new furry family member, keep in mind that investing in quality means not only buying from a reputable breeder but also providing your pup with proper nutrition and training throughout its life. These things can be just as important (if not more so) than simply spending money on an expensive pedigree dog!
Examining the Cost of Golden Huskies
Exploring the price of Golden Huskies can be exciting, as they range from relatively inexpensive to luxurious depending on their genetics and other factors. Generally speaking, the cost of a Golden Husky pup is around $500-$2,500 USD, depending on where you purchase it from and its genetic makeup. Some breeders may charge more or less, so it's important to do your research before purchasing one.
In addition to the initial purchase cost of a Golden Husky pup, there are ongoing costs associated with owning one such as vet care and training costs that should also be taken into account. Vet care for a Golden Husky can be expensive if health issues arise. Regular check-ups will need to be done in order to keep them healthy and any illnesses or injuries will need to be treated by a professional vet with specialized equipment. Vaccinations should also be taken into consideration when budgeting for your new pet's care needs.
Training costs can also add up quickly when owning a Golden Husky pup due to their high energy levels and potential for mischief. Investing in an experienced dog trainer is recommended as they'll know how best to manage the breed's high energy level and teach them appropriate behaviors so they don't become destructive or aggressive in public spaces. Professional trainers are worth every penny as they help ensure your pup grows up happy and well-adjusted!
It's important to factor in all these additional expenses when considering how much you're willing to pay for a Golden Husky puppy – not just the initial purchase cost but also all associated vets bills and training fees over the years ahead! With proper research beforehand, you should have no issues finding an affordable option that suits both your lifestyle and budget requirements perfectly!
Tips for Finding an Affordable Golden Husky
Finding an affordable Golden Husky can be like finding a needle in a haystack, but with the right research and tips, you can make it happen!
The first step is to do your own price comparison. Look for different breeders in your area that offer Golden Huskies and compare their prices. You may also want to consider looking for alternatives. For example, there are other breeds of huskies that come in golden coat colors such as Alaskan Klee Kai or Miniature Siberian Huskies, which may be cheaper than getting a full-size husky. It might take some extra time and effort to find the perfect dog for you, but it could save you money in the long run.
Another way to save money on your new pup is by checking online classifieds or rescue organizations. Many times these dogs are already trained and have been given up due to unforeseen circumstances. This is an ideal option if you're looking for a companion pet rather than a show dog since they may not adhere to specific breed standards. Additionally, many of these dogs will be spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped – all of which could mean one less expense on your part when bringing them home!
Consider talking to friends or family who have adopted huskies themselves about their experience looking for an affordable pup. Chances are they'll be able to provide valuable advice regarding where they looked and what prices they were able to negotiate down from the original asking price – this could help narrow down your search significantly!
Finally, don't forget about local shelters either; while not every one has huskies available at any given time, those that do often work with buyers on price points so everyone gets the best deal possible.
No matter how you end up obtaining your Golden Husky pup, doing research ahead of time will go a long way towards ensuring both you and your new pup get exactly what you need without breaking the bank!
Questions to Ask the Breeder
When considering a Golden Husky pup, be sure to ask the breeder all the right questions in order to ensure you're getting what you need. It's important to research the breeder's reputation and make sure they have a good track record of producing healthy puppies.
Ask about any health issues that could affect your puppy, such as genetic conditions or inherited diseases. Make sure that the puppy has been properly vaccinated and checked for parasites before it goes home with you. Furthermore, inquire about feeding requirements and any other specific care instructions provided by the breeder.
Additionally, it's essential to find out what type of socialization and training methods were used on the puppy prior to adoption. This can help determine if there are any potential behavioral problems that may arise down the line. Be sure to ask how long they've been breeding Golden Huskies and how knowledgeable they are in regards to this breed.
If possible, visit multiple breeders so you can compare prices and see which one offers better value for money. It's also a good idea to ask about return policies or warranties that cover congenital defects or other illnesses in case something happens after bringing your puppy home.
Finally, keep an eye out for red flags like overcrowded kennels or sickly-looking puppies as these could be warning signs of irresponsible breeding practices. Taking into account all these factors will help ensure your new pup will grow up healthy and happy!
Additional Considerations for Buying a Golden Husky
Taking the time to do your research on a reputable breeder is essential for getting a healthy and well-socialized Golden Husky puppy, so make sure you don't rush into any decisions.
Aside from finding the right breeder, there are some other considerations to keep in mind when buying a Golden Husky.
First and foremost, it's important to understand that this breed can have temperament differences depending on their parents' temperaments and genetics. Therefore, take the time to meet both of the puppies' parents if possible. This will help give you an idea of what kind of personality your pup may have as an adult.
Health concerns are also something you should be aware of when purchasing a Golden Husky puppy. Make sure that all necessary vaccines and tests have been done before bringing them home – this includes hip and elbow x-rays for potential dysplasia issues, as well as tests for things like heartworm or tick-borne diseases. While these tests can cost extra money upfront, they could save you thousands down the road in veterinary bills if any health problems arise later on.
In addition, it's always a good idea to talk with other experienced owners or breeders about their experiences with different bloodlines or specific dogs within those lines before making your final decision. They can offer invaluable insight into how certain temperaments may manifest over time based on their own personal experience with that particular animal's lineage or behavior history.
Finally, remember that choosing the right puppy is not just about looks; it's about finding one who is physically healthy but also has an engaging personality which matches yours and your family's lifestyle needs!
By taking all these factors into account before making your purchase decision, you'll be able to bring home a happy and healthy new member of your family whom you'll enjoy for many years to come!
You've done your research and now it's time to make the big decision. Owning a golden husky can be an incredibly rewarding experience, but you want to make sure that you get the best deal possible.
Remember: "You get what you pay for,"so don't skimp on quality or price when searching for your new furry friend. Be sure to ask lots of questions, do your due diligence, and compare prices from multiple breeders before committing to a purchase.
With these tips in mind, you'll set yourself up for success in finding the perfect golden husky companion at an affordable price.

Following the devastating Euler Finance DeFi hack, which resulted in a loss of $197 million, crypto-fans tracked the loot on-chain in an effort to uncover the perpetrator. According to Chainalysis, out of the series of transfers made by the hacker, 100 ETH was allegedly sent to an address with known links to North Korea-associated actors.
The hacker transferred 3,000 ETH to Euler's deployer account without disclosing their intent. At the time of writing, no additional transfers had been made. It is uncertain whether the hacker was acting with malicious intent or if they were indeed considering taking up Euler Finance's generous offer of a $20 million bounty reward.
Chainalysis suspected North Korea's involvement in the $197 million hack of Euler Finance, yet cautioned that other hackers may have been attempting to misdirect attention away from the true culprit. Michael Bentley, CEO of Euler Labs, expressed his displeasure with the breach and shared that ten independent audits carried out over two years had previously assured its security.

NBA fans were treated to an epic duel between two of the game's greats on Sunday afternoon as reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo and former MVP Kevin Durant put on an absolute show. The showdown involving two East powerhouses -- the Brooklyn Nets and Milwaukee Bucks -- came down to the final seconds, but ultimately it was the Bucks that pulled out a tough 117-114 win.
Antetokounmpo finished with a season-high 49 points to go along with eight rebounds, four assists, three blocks and a steal. Brooklyn just had no answer for Antetokounmpo, who seemed to get virtually every shot he wanted over the course of the contest. With the loss, the Nets dropped to second in the East behind the Philadelphia 76ers, while the Bucks gained a game on Brooklyn. Milwaukee now sits just 2.5 games behind both the Sixers and Nets with a couple of weeks remaining in the regular season.
While the Nets weren't able walk away with a win, it wasn't because of a lack of effort, especially on Durant's part. He went shot-for-shot with Antetokounmpo and also eclipsed the 40-point mark, finishing the game with 42 points along with 10 rebounds. Durant scored 42 points for the second straight game after doing the same against the Indiana Pacers on Thursday night. In the process, Durant became the first Nets player to score 40+ points in back-to-back games since Vince Carter in 2005.
Giannis, KD went at it in today's Eastern Conference showdown. 🔥🍿@Giannis_An34: 49 PTS, 3 BLK, W@KDTrey5: 42 PTS, 10 REB, 7 3PM pic.twitter.com/2ffwr3er7J

The point production of both Antetokounmpo and Durant was extremely impressive, but it wasn't just the fact that they were scoring at a breakneck pace. They were also doing so in an efficient manner. Antetokounmpo shot 21 of 36 from the floor, while Durant went 16 of 33. Both players shot at least 50 percent from long range with Antetokounmpo going 4 of 8 and Durant hitting 7 of his 13 attempts.
Though Durant and Antetokounmpo stole the show, both had their fair share of help. Khris Middleton recorded 26 points, 11 rebounds and six assists for Milwaukee, while Jrue Holiday added 18 points, five rebounds and four assists. Kyrie Irving was Brooklyn's second leading scorer, finishing with 20 points, seven rebounds and six assists. Overall, it was an extremely exciting game, and the good news is that we won't have to wait long for a rematch as the two teams are scheduled to go back at it on Tuesday night. But before moving ahead to the next meeting, here's a look at three key takeaways from Milwaukee's win on Sunday.
1. Giannis got the better of Durant on each end
Durant had a great game on Sunday afternoon, but Antetokounmpo had a better one. Antetokounmpo scored more points, shot a better percentage from the floor, and his team walked away with a win, which is the most important stat of all. Plus, Antetokounmpo got the better of Durant on each end of the floor. The game started with Antetokounmpo throwing down an impressive alley-oop directly on Durant:

We should have known that Antetokounmpo would have himself a game after starting off like that. He wasn't done there, though. He got the best of Durant on the offensive end at the beginning of the game, and then he got the best of him on the defensive end toward the end of the game. With just over two minutes remaining, Durant pulled up for a midrange jumper and Antetokounmpo swatted it out to the perimeter:

The play ultimately ended in a made three by Irving, but it was still extremely impressive on Antetokounmpo's part nonetheless. You don't see Durant's silky smooth jumper get blocked very often.
2. Jordan clearly not Nets' answer to defending Giannis
Moving forward, the Nets will have to figure out a better way to defend Antetokounmpo, both on Tuesday night and if the two teams ultimately meet in the postseason. For a large portion of the game on Sunday, the Nets relied on DeAndre Jordan to guard Antetokounmpo, and it didn't go well. Out of the 49 points that Antetokounmpo scored, 35 of them came with Jordan as the primary defender.

It's a tall task to ask anyone to guard Antetokounmpo alone, and Jordan just wasn't up to the task. He wasn't quick enough to keep up with Antetokounmpo laterally, so he was forced to either foul him or concede jump shots, which Antetokounmpo knocked down consistently.
The blame doesn't all fall on Jordan's shoulders, however, as the Nets did nothing to help him out. They didn't try to trap Antetokounmpo or send doubles at him, and they didn't switch primary defenders even after it became abundantly clear that Antetokounmpo was having his way with Jordan. On many plays, it was just Jordan on an island with Antetokounmpo.
It makes sense that the Nets didn't want to put Durant on him because they wanted to conserve his energy for the offensive end, but given Durant's length and athleticism, that might be something that Brooklyn wants to explore more in the future. Similarly, it's tough to double-team Antetokounmpo as the Bucks have a plethora of shooters around him, but ultimately when a player is single-handedly dominating you like Giannis was, you have to try to take the ball out of his hands and force other players to beat you. It will be interesting to see what kind of adjustments, if any, Nets coach Steve Nash makes when it comes to defending Antetokounmpo on Tuesday night.
3. The race for East's top seed got a little bit tighter
Had the Nets won this game, they would have maintained their position as the top seed in the East. With the loss, though, they slipped to second behind the Sixers, who hold the tiebreaker between the two teams.

The Sixers now control their own destiny for the No. 1 seed, and they have a significantly easier schedule for the remainder of the regular season than the Nets. The Bucks also climbed closer to both the Sixers and Nets with the win, as they're now just 2.5 games behind both teams with a couple of weeks remaining in the regular season. If they're able to best the Nets again on Tuesday night, they'll climb even closer to the top of the standings. Whoever wins that game will hold the tiebreaker between the two teams, as they've both won one game against the other so far this season.

Will Ozge Gurel become Kaan Yıldırım's co-star?
Great news for fans of Ozge Gurel! The actress is negotiating to star in a new TV show, where Kaan Yıldırım can become her co-star. What do we know about the project right now?
Kaan Yıldırım continues to prepare for the filming of the series "Sipahi" produced by CNP Film, which will be released on Show TV in the new television season. The actor will play a character named Korkut Ali Turkoglu, who is one of the best Turkish intelligence officers. Sinan Tuzcu, known to viewers from the TV series "Lifeline" is also in the cast of the show. He will play the role of Goran Losiç, who came to the attention of the Turkish special services.
According to well-known journalist Birsen Altuntas, the producers of the series are negotiating with Ozge Gurel, who can become Kaan's co-star in the show, playing the role of Commissioner Canan, who is successfully working to neutralize terrorist threats. It is noteworthy that Kaan is friends with Ozge's husband Serkan Çayoğlu, with whom he starred together in the TV series "The Ring". Perhaps this will play a positive role in the decision of Ozge, who was last seen by viewers in the TV series "Dreams and Lives".

Browsing by Subject "organoid biogenesis"
Now showing items 1-1 of 1
(2020)Chloroplasts are essential plant photosynthetic organelles evolved from a prokaryotic endosymbiont many years ago. A vast majority of chloroplast proteins are encoded in the nucleus and then imported post-translationally by multiprotein translocases located in the membrane of the organelle. It was identified that outer envelope membrane (OEM) components are subject to ubiquitin-proteasomal degradation, governed by a recently established proteolytic system called CHLORAD (chloroplast-associated degradation). It has been suggested that this machinery is involved in regulation of plastid biogenesis and stress tolerance in plants by protein import regulation and remodelling of the organellar proteome. In this study, to further investigate factors involved in chloroplast protein import regulation, we aimed to characterize two putative regulators SKIP6, an F-box/kelch repeat protein, and ASK1, a component of CUL1-based SCF E3 ligase, identified by tandem affinity purification of TOC components and SP1. We performed physiological analyses on skip6-1 and ask1-1 single mutant Arabidopsis plants to identify whether these factors are required for degradation of OEM translocase components (TOC machinery). To identify an association of these factors with the TOC machinery and CHLORAD components, we employed subcellular localization and co-immunoprecipitation (IP) assays in protoplasts. Double mutant sp1 ppi1 and sp2 ppi1 plants were previously shown to specifically supress an atToc33 mutation (specific suppression of ppi1 chlorosis phenotype), resulting in greener and larger plants. Following, for second-site specific suppressor analyses of the atToc33 mutation, we generated ask1-1 ppi1 double mutant plants and provided their initial characterization. As the CHLORAD system was shown to be vital for plant development and to contribute to stress tolerance, therefore, in this study the involvement of SKIP6 in stress tolerance in mutant plants was analysed by implementing osmotic and salt stresses. Physiological analyses revealed an early-senescence phenotype in the skip6-1 single mutant plants, which could be attributed to degradation of TOC components and subsequent decrease in chlorophyll level. Interestingly, an opposite effect was observed after dark treatment, in which SKIP6 knockout mutants remained greener with higher abundance of TOC proteins and chlorophyll level in comparison to wild-type plants. Stress-induced experiments did not show the involvement of SKIP6 in stress tolerance at early developmental stages. Subcellular localization and co-IP experiments revealed cytosolic localization of SKIP6 and its physical interaction with the TOC machinery, respectively. Obtained double mutant ask1 ppi1 plants presented male sterility as well as growth suppression followed by greener leaves at late developmental stages. In summary, our results provide initial characterization of unknown SKIP6 protein suggesting its involvement as a component of SCF E3 ligase (CUL1-ASK1-SKIP6) in the reorganization of the TOC machinery and CHLORAD components at early and late developmental stages, respectively. These initial data represent one of the first steps towards broadening our knowledge on the regulatory network of chloroplast biogenesis in plants, as well as important advance in the development of new strategies for crop improvement.

Obviously when you hear the name Elvis Presley dropped in a conversation it's likely intended to be tongue in cheek. Elvis' life after 1977 along with his connection to aliens, ghosts, and various conspiracies has been documented by tabloids with a jibe here and a joke there. But was the King of Rock and Roll actually directly associated with paranormal phenomena? And where do these legends come from in the first place?
There's no doubt that Elvis Presley was associated with more than his fair share of weird stuff, but aliens? This is more often than not traced to issues of the tabloid periodicals such as Weekly World News which would generally cover stories that had a kernel of truth (sometimes) and then run them into wild and spectacular directions. But was Elvis a believer in UFOs and aliens? The answer may be surprising to some, but he was in fact a firm believer in UFO visitations according to a book by Michael Luckman entitled Alien Rock: The Rock & Roll Extraterrestrial Connection. In fact, though it may sound like a story straight out of the tabloids, the night Elvis was born the delivering doctor noticed a strange light in the sky hovering in the distance above his childhood home.
And as for his connection to ghosts, Elvis was originally a twin, but the only surviving one of the pair. Nonetheless, he would often tell stories of his deceased brother and even referenced his twin brother several times. Some legends and eyewitness accounts even suggest Elvis was in touch with his brother in the afterlife before his death. And as is the case with so many well known and loved celebrities, after his death Elvis was reported to have been spotted thousands of times by believers all over the world. He is reported to haunt several locations, but occasionally has been rumored to make the rounds at random long Nevada highways at night. And the thousands of Elvis impersonators that would follow him certainly do nothing to reduce this number.
But perhaps the most intriguing element of Elvis' life and death is the idea that the King of Rock and Roll may still be alive, though if he were he would be 75 as of January 8th of 2010 with a birthday coming up again soon. This would certainly not make him the oldest person in the world, though his legend will no doubt outlast any life he or anyone else could have led. Elvis sightings were once again often propagated by tabloids, although the internet certainly had a very real Elvis sighting community in the late 1990's – often mixed with an alien interpretation or Elvis ghost sightings.
So Elvis was definitively one of the Kings of Rock and Roll in his era and his style would be reinterpreted and even emulated all the way to today. But behind this mask of glamour and sex appeal there is a great deal of mystery surrounding Elvis, his death, and his life. Even the circumstances around his death were heavily investigated and suspected of conspiracy. But perhaps the strangest theory out there – one that appears to have sprung out from the state that once brought us legends of Area 51 is that Elvis was abducted by aliens at the end of his life and lives eternally with them in bizarre interpretation of a technologically driven rapture. But even if the King is dead, he will remain alive for quite some time still in the hearts of his fans.

Twitter employees, as well as academics studying cybersecurity, say that the social media site's outage on Wednesday night was an example of the risks in slashing staff and cutting costs – and more issues should be expected.
Users were left unable to post tweets for around 90 minutes between around 9:30pm and 11pm UK time as the platform told users, "You are over the daily limit for sending Tweets".
Some Twitter users found a workaround by scheduling tweets through the app or its vertically integrated dashboard, TweetDeck, to post a minute after they wrote them.
But the outage, which Twitter acknowledged but has not provided an explanation for, is an indication of how little slack there is within the company to find and fix errors when they arise.
A current Twitter staff member told i there were three "massive" bugs in the code that allows paying subscribers to Twitter Blue to post tweets up to 4,000 characters long. Twitter's 550 or so engineers, down from the thousands it employed before Elon Musk's takeover, had a month to develop and code the new character limits – a timeframe which they claim was unrealistic.
At the same time, Twitter also unveiled a new cap on the number of tweets a user could post in a given day, and announced changes to how users could access its API, which is used by third-party services to access and post on Twitter, as well as by many automated accounts.
With so many fundamental changes happening to the platform's infrastructure at once, i understands Twitter is still trying to figure out which of the changes triggered the outage. One former senior engineer believes that changes to the API may have caused the problem.
Business publication Fortune first reported that in the immediate aftermath of the outage, Musk asked staff to "Please pause for now on new feature development in favor of maximizing system stability and robustness, especially with the Super Bowl coming up."
Musk also asked staff to halt a cost-cutting move to reduce its use of Google Cloud hosting and to consolidate the number of data centres Twitter uses to store information – suggesting those could also have contributed to the outage.
"As we see layoffs in many of the big tech firms, I suspect the user experience will be impacted just as we've seen with Twitter," said Alan Woodward, professor of cybersecurity at the University of Surrey. "Twitter seems to be compounding the problem by trying to issue some significant changes whilst taking out swathes of its technical team."
Former Twitter engineers involved in maintaining the platform, who were fired from the company as part of Musk's mass layoffs, had previously warned that more sustained, frequent outages would occur as key parts of Twitter broke because overworked staff lacked the institutional knowledge and support to solve problems as they arose.
Twitter's owner tweeted on Thursday morning that the outage was the result of "multiple internal & external issues simultaneously". He hoped that the problems would be fixed later in the day.
In the meantime, Twitter users have been left wondering whether they'll be able to post on the platform every time they access it.
"It's almost inevitable that the users will end up as beta testers," said Woodward. "It's how some tech giants used to operate 20 years ago, but the eventual backlash from users changed that."
Woodward added: "Maybe Twitter has to relearn the lesson."

A Nigerian lady has taken to her Twitter account to out French footballer, Kylian Mbappe for not replying the Direct Messages she sent to him.
The lady with the handle, @brownie_xx on Twitter was quite enraged at the footballer that she had to make him realize that they're are not of the same age.
Her tweet has since gone viral – She wrote;
"I sent you DM you didn't reply. I hope you know i'm not your mate"
Her tweet generated lots of reactions as most of her followers believed she was only seeking for attention as she understands that the chances of Mbappe seeing her messages will be very slim, and that was if she sent any message at all.

I'd have been really annoyed with myself if I'd been in Corfu and not known I could cross the Ionian Strait to Saranda, Albania. As it was, Corfu was a transit point, and Saranda our destination.
A seaside town, Saranda gets its name from the local Byzantine monastery of the Agioi Saranda, which translates from the Greek as Forty Saints, a hat tip to the Forty Martyrs of Sebaste. It's had all sorts of name changes under its various rulers, perhaps most interestingly when Italy's Benito Mussolini changed it to Porto Edda after his oldest daughter. Part of the Albanian Riviera, the town lies in a horseshoe bay flanked by the Gormarti and Berdeneshi Hills.
Construction is really taking off, with the telltale signs of real estate investment evident in the hundreds of newbuilds on their way up. Property prices rose more than 30% last year and they heading up again this year. If you're interested, Péter at We Love Saranda is in the business and a fount of knowledge on all things real estate in town.
Looking at it from the harbour, it didn't make my heart lift with joy at the sight of it. The promenade is lined with cafés, bars, and souvenir shops. Artists and sculptors and woodturners ply their craft. It's where the beautiful people hang out. It was busy. July and August? I'd imagine it would be mobbed.
Lit up at night, it's a bustle of activity as locals and tourists alike take their evening walks. Just one street up the steps, though, there's a parallel universe, one inhabited by locals hanging out, drinking coffee, catching up on what's going on in the world. A completely different pace. Much less frenzied.
But it isn't the sounds or the sights, not the lights or the music that sets Saranda apart. It's not the blue waters or the fresh fish. It's the smell.
It smells divine.
There are flowers everywhere.
We went up to what I thought was a mosque that sits on a hill overlooking the town. It's not a mosque though, it's the tekke of Reshat Dede Baba. A tekke or tekkije, is a Muslim, typically Turkish, monastery of dervishes [a member of a Muslim (specifically Sufi) religious order who has taken vows of poverty and austerity.]
There, the flowers were in full bloom and the smells were positively orgasmic. We got a heady scent of heaven. Taking photos, I wished that some supertekkie had invented a scratch-and-sniff way of taking photos. We can capture images and sounds but smells? That still defeats us.
We didn't get to see inside, as it wasn't open. But if you're interested, click here and scroll to the bottom for a short video.
Apart from churches and mosques and synagogues, I'm drawn to boats. This attraction is a little odd as I'm not that comfortable in or on the water. But I love to look at boats. Particularly old fishing boats. The ones that smell of salt and fish and sweat, their hulls a palette of dull colours faded by the seas. I find the activity in a harbour strangely soothing. The old port of Saranda didn't disappoint.
The sixteenth-century Lekursi Castle is one of the town's must-sees. And if castles ain't your thing, then the uphill climb is worth it for the view across the water of Corfu. Built by Suleiman the Magnificent so that he could control the harbour when he attacked Corfu, it was once home to a 200-strong garrison whose sole mission was to defend against the Venetians. It was raided by Ali Pasha of Tepelena (aka the Lion of Ioannina and the Balkan Napoleon) in the eighteenth century and from 1878, was left pretty much to its own devices.
Today there's a restaurant with stunning views that showcases Albanian food and music.
Touristy? Yes. Worth it? I can only speak for the scenery.
Getting there
Our two best options to get to Albania's southern coast were to fly into the capital Tirana and then drive for 4+ hours or fly into Corfu and take the ferry across. I wanted this trip to be all about the south and rather than confuse issues by trying to fit in the capital city as well, we went the Corfu route.
Ferries go from the international ferry terminal. We travelled over with Finikas – €25 for the fast ferry, a hovercraft-type deal. We came back with Ionian – €15 for the slower, more comfortable ferry that cost about 20 minutes extra in transit time and gives you space to walk about and go on deck. Remember, Albania is not yet in the EU so Irish passport cards, good for the EU member countries like Greece, won't work.
Where to stay
We stayed in the White Donkey apartments – a spacious two-bedroom with a lovely terrace looking towards the sea. It's within minutes of a pebble beach with sunbeds and palmbrellas. And there's a lovely café-cum-art gallery next door – Vënçe Art Bar Café. It's a local neighbourhood with supermarkets, bars, restaurants, and cafés. Run by Hungarians, it was a little surreal to have my pitiful Hungarian understood in Albania.
Where to eat
We were fortunate to have knowledgeable local guides in the form of Péter and Ilcsi from We Love Saranda. There's something special about going to local spots with local people who'd normally eat in these places anyway. Guidebooks and TripAdvisor are all well and good, but local knowledge is where it's at.
Beach Bar Restorant Shark is run by Lorenzo and his family. We ordered sea bass and he popped on his scooter and went down to the harbour to buy it – it doesn't get much fresher.
On the same beach, opposite Shark is the Sunset Café run by Enis and his parents. They were getting ready to open for the season so only had breakfasts and drinks – but at €5 for eggs, juice, coffee, and toast, with a view to die for and friendly conversation, it's a must.
Down by the old fishing harbour, alive with smells and colours, is Taverna Peshtakari. The food comes as it's ready. There's no point in waiting for it all to arrive together – it's fresh. From sea to table. And the chips! That mix of wild oregano and sea salt on REAL potatoes … delicious. Albanian fish soup isn't a chowder and it isn't like Hungarian halászlé either. It's a taste all of its own.
A weekend brunch favourite is tashquebab with pilaf – for all the world like a beef stew. Very filling. It'll set you up for the day. We tried it at Taverna e Shefit, within spitting distance of Hilary.
If it's meat-meat you're after, then look no further than Taverna Bituni. Péter rang ahead and ordered lamb cutlets, which were served up freshly grilled with a big Greek salad, oregano fries, and tzatziki. It's in the heart of the town down some steps. Had I been on my own, I'd have kept walking. But this unassuming place with the grinning chef/owner it's THE place in Saranda to go for meat. Pork. Chicken. Lamb. They do it all; simple and delicious. And get a side order of the round Albanian bread – kulac – served up with their own olive oil. My best advice? Go there hungry.
Overall impression
Saranda's waterside bars, cafés, restaurants, and clubs are a hive of youthful energy. You can be as lively or as retiring as you like. I've grown out of my beach bar days but can still appreciate the scene. For others. For me, I was more interested in the cemeteries, the mosques and churches, the abandoned villages, how expats are making a go of life in Albania, and how locals are doing things differently. Cue: We Love Saranda.
For next time

Arbed finally runs properly on Linux, too, with the Drop Pad (the bug preventing this way fixed early 2014, but I only noticed now).
Fixes an issue on Windows where it would report errors at start or when generating HTML output from code.
Can now handle FileTypeSets of VCP projects written by Xojo 2015r4.
The search function can now search specifically for "Kind", e.g. to find all Properties or all Container Controls.
A feature that would be useful: automatically detect all non-used methods, and be able to remove them at a glance.
After a few years, our projects grow much, and some methods are no longer used. But they add to the project. Sometimes, we lose time to update these methods so that they are no longer used!
I am ready to buy a plugin that does this.
Good luck
Norman once said, that if you start to do stuff like this you are on your way to write your own Compiler for Xojo.
Which means, Xojo could offer such a tool.
Normal also said, this feature is "not yet" available
If what you want is "is this method called anywhere" then thats a matter of search & replace
If what you want is a correct "this method is not used" that is entirely different
And you probably would need a lot of the same infrastructure that a compiler would need
- a full & complete & correct grammar for the language (most of the ones I have seen people try to create by hand are incorrect in many respects)
- a parser that can handle that grammar
then you have to parse the entire project, build up correct symbol tables and mimic the compilers actual name look up symbol resolution mechanisms etc
then you have to do code flow analysis to see IF code reaches calls to that method to know IF it is "used"
so yeah its a LOT of work to know
hence "good luck"
[quote=253798:@Norman Palardy]@Sascha S Normal also said, this feature is "not yet" available
NORMAN :)[/quote]
Since when can Norman ever be considered Normal? Odd maybe…
Norman is normal for Canadian.
Maybe one could do something by saving a project as an xml file, searching for "", getting its name, and searching the rest of the xml file for instances of the name.
even a search/replace improved would already be well.
Initially, the tool can deal with simple cases without any ambiguity.
Maybe I'll say nonsense, but for example:
-Delete private methods never called in the object.
-Delete private properties never called in the object.
-Delete local variables never called.
-Delete methods (without homonym/overloading, and not in an external module) that are never called in the project.
I know that some are already available in the analysis of the project. But I believe that then we must delete them one by one. If these are cases without ambiguity, it would be useful to be able to remove them at a glance. With a backup before of course.
I had years ago already written a full parser for Xojo code, based on work by Jonathan Johnson. I had planned something like that, but never got around finishing this because it's a lot of work.
While removing all actually unused functions is rather difficult, I had wanted to remove all code that was never referenced by any other code in the project. That would help a lot with things such as the huge MacOSLib, for instance, or whenever one has a set of general-use modules and classes that one simply includes into a project without needing them all.
But, as I said, it's never been finished. Though, with the parser in place, the most difficult part is done. All that's missing is building the dictionary of referenced identifiers. The most complex part of that is to figure out where "top" in a line of code points to - to a function-local variable, or to a property or method somewhere. It could be part of the enclosing class container, or its module container. But it may also be a function declared with the "extends" keyword. That's a lot of cases that need to be handled, and well tested. That's the part I haven't done. If someone is eager to try that, I'm happy to share my code. It's actually stand-alone-ish so you can implement the code without needing the entire Arbed source. Once you've solved this puzzle, I can integrate it into Arbed and place useful operations around it.
I'd be curious to see the parser
[quote=240979:@Thomas Tempelmann]
See: http://www.tempel.org/Arbed/[/quote]
The link to the video at the bottom of that page is down.
Maybe an idea to put up a simple demonstration video on YT?
Marco, no time for that atm
Norman and everyone - here's the last version of my Parser project: http://files.tempel.org/RB/TTsRBParser.zip
Run the ASTBuilder.rbp. It'll load a default .rbs file and parse it.
The GenerateASTParser project is for reading the "morphe" grammar (ast.morphe is the one for the Xojo syntax, though I haven't updated it in a while) and generate 3 RB xml classes from it, which then would need to be put into the TTsRBParser parser.
No idea what TextBuilder.rbp did.
Everyone, feel free to play around with it, or even improve it. But I retain the copyright of all code, including any changes made to Jon Johnson's original work which I'm using by his permission. If you want to do something great with it, get my permission first.
BTW, the AST builder code in the project is something I built without having a clue of what I was doing. I was just going along, trying out things. So, this may well be a very bad design for what I had planned with it. I'd never done this before, perhaps that's also a reason why I didn't finished it - I wasn't confident I did it right.
Ah this was based on the old morphe project jon had ?
Thats basically a bison clone in RB / Xojo code isn't it
Correct, Norman. It had a few issues when he abandoned it, and I did fix them. I also wrote the complete RB syntax for it.
I'd guess you're close but not quite
I can imagine its based on what you can discern since we dont publish a grammar
And I know that in our actual parser based on the C bison we have some stuff that literally cannot be done in the grammar itself and is handled elsewhere in code
to know if a method, function, whatever is used or not, I add a prefix to its name and compile. Usually, if used, Wojo complain about a missing Method, Function, whatever.
BUT: as Thomas said: with time the project grows so an automatic scan is far better than doing this manually !

My Background
Hi y'all, I'm Levi! I was born in Douala, Cameroon, but raised in Marietta, GA, for most of my life. In my spare time you'll find me overthinking the plot of my favorite shows and anime, rehashing old arguments in my head (with better comebacks) or spending an inordinate amount of time on the phone with my friends. Before going all in on medicine, theater and environmentalism were my biggest passions. The part of me that longs for my acting days comes out on my TikToks and YouTube and the tree hugger in me is unleashed every time I'm free to spend some time in nature. Having always loved the sciences and talking to people, much to the chagrin of my teachers, I think medicine and I were always meant to be. I'm very invested in the intersection between faith-based communities and mental health, as well as the intersection of politics and medicine. I think there's numerous bridges to be built between these entities in our attempt to create more equitable, healthy communities.
Medical School Experience
I took a year off between undergrad at Duke and medical school at George Washington University, doing clinical research at UNC-Chapel Hill's Sheps Center for Health Services Research. There, I gained invaluable experience on the intricacies of coordinating clinical trials, particularly those aimed at underserved and rural communities. At GW, I joined the Health Policy scholarly concentration program to learn how to structure, develop and advocate for policies that would improve patient care at the clinic, local, state and national level. I also volunteered at our free Healing Clinic for our uninsured and underserved patients. During third and fourth year, I was one of those students who loved a bit of every specialty (except surgery), so it was hard to choose a specialty. I actually applied to internal medicine, psychiatry and several Med-Psych programs, but ultimately ended up choosing to focus on Psychiatry.
Why I Chose Emory
I chose Emory for a multitude of reasons. My family's in Atlanta and having that support system is essential during residency.
I knew I was interested in community psychiatry and a few places prepare residents for treating the most severe of mental illnesses such as Grady Memorial Hospital, one of Emory's primary training sites. Grady is the safety net hospital for a Metro Atlanta population of five million people, so it cares for some of Georgia's sickest patients and patients who may otherwise suffer due to lack of insurance or the lack of any financial resources. Finally, I knew I wanted thorough training in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis and nearly every forum I searched through listed Emory near the top of those categories.
My Schedule
For the past three months, I was on inpatient psychiatry!
I like that the psychiatry interns rotate through the same medicine team and so the attendings and seniors are super happy to have psychiatry interns on service.
6:45am: Wake up & blast my top songs of 2021 Spotify playlist while I'm in the shower.
7:45am: Morning 10-15 minute teaching session with senior residents.
8:00am: Morning sign-out from our nurses about overnight issues with patients.
8:00-10:00am: Preround, Round, start (& hopefully lol finish) notes.
10:00-10:20am: Treatment team meeting: Discuss patients' improvement and discharge plan.
10:20am-12:00pm: Place orders, call any consults, finish notes, see new admits.
12:00-1:00 or 1:30pm: Eat lunch during noon lecture, talks rounds or case conference.
(Most days) 1:30-4:00 or 5:00pm: See any new admits (max two a day), run the list with my attending, finalized notes, follow-up on orders or consults, putting out fires.
Get home anywhere between 4:30 to 6:00pm, depending on how productive I am. Go to the gym, film some videos, spend too much time on Tiktok and occasionally read up on some literature.
Where I Live
I live in Old Fourth Ward, about a five minute drive from Grady. Seeing as we work at Grady most of intern year, being so close to the hospital is CLUUUUUTCH. Also, there are tons of grocery stores, restaurants and the Beltline (the city-wide walking and bike lane) all within walking distance or a short car ride.
My Favorite Things to Do In/Around Atlanta
I'm a bit of a homebody, so I'll stay in with a good book or a nice lil' Netflix mini-series 7 out of 10 times.
However, when I do decide to make it outside, I love a late-night stroll down the Beltline with the homies. There is also tons of great, diverse restaurants throughout the city, ESPECIALLY on Buford Highway.
Thoughts for Future Applicants
Consider what is most important for you: maybe it's location, maybe it's family, or maybe it's fellowship opportunities. Rank those priorities and make sure the program you choose maximizes those priorities.
Ask the challenging and real questions! Matching isn't just about programs choosing you; it's about you choosing the program.
If there is a question you don't feel comfortable asking faculty, ask us residents! We want you to end up where you would be happiest, so we'll tell you the truth!

With advanced technology, the live darshan of Shirdi Sai Baba is now possible, providing access to devotees from anywhere in the world. This article will delve deeper into the spiritual significance of Shirdi and the experience of live darshan in 2023.
The History of Shirdi Sai Baba
Shirdi Sai Baba is believed to be an incarnation of Lord Shiva and is revered by both Hindus and Muslims. He lived in Shirdi as a fakir (Sufi ascetic) and performed numerous miracles. Sai Baba taught the importance of love, compassion, and selfless service to humanity. He emphasized that there is only one God and that all religions are equal. After he died in 1918, the Shirdi Sai Baba temple was built to commemorate his teachings and legacy.
Shirdi – A Spiritual Tourist Place
Shirdi has become a major tourist destination for spiritual seekers worldwide. The town has several temples and holy sites that attract devotees. The Shirdi Sai Baba temple is the main attraction and houses the saint's samadhi (final resting place).

The live darshan experience is quite similar to visiting the temple in person. Devotees can see the aarti being performed and the priest waving the lamps before the saint's idol. The live darshan provides a feeling of presence in the temple and allows devotees to connect with the saint's energy.
The Significance of Live Darshan
Live darshan is a boon for those who cannot physically visit the temple for various reasons. It provides an opportunity for the devotees to have a virtual darshan and seek blessings from the saint.

Abstract: | Many studies of herbaceous plant populations have illustrated the potential of adjacent subpopulations to adapt to local ecological conditions. However, the extent to which local adaptation on a small geographical scale can occur in outcrossing tree populations is not well understood. In this study, we reciprocally transplanted acorns from adjacent subpopulations of northern red oak (Quercus rubra L.) occupying north-, southwest-, and west-facing slopes within a 4-ha plot in a Missouri oak-hickory forest. The quantitative character we measured was leaf damage by herbivores on first-year seedlings, because it reflects resistance to insect herbivores-a quantitative trait that could be under different selective pressures in dissimilar microhabitats. We found that seedlings showed the least damage when planted at the site of the maternal plant. This finding provides initial but strong evidence of local adaptation and illustrates that selection associated with leaf herbivory may have a strong impact on the genetic structure of local tree populations. Such a result is unexpected for a widely outcrossing species on such a small geographical scale but indicates that genetic structuring is possible within other plant populations occupying heterogeneous environments. |
