Student Services | Feature
Student affairs departments are using technology to strengthen relationships between students and their campus.
At a time when student success is typically measured in hard data--grades, learning outcomes, graduation rates--Leslie Dare offers a spoonful of alternative medicine. "A wealth of research shows that students are more successful when they're well connected to their campus," says the director of technology services for Academic & Student Affairs at North Carolina State University. "If that sense of connection is high, they're more likely to be very successful."
This story appears in the May 2013 digital edition of Campus Technology.
Student Affairs--sometimes known as Student Services--is the umbrella department for an array of campus organizations that provide support services to students, including Campus Life, Housing, Student Health and Wellness, Alumni Relations, and Athletics. While these organizations function outside the realm of academics, they nonetheless play a critical role in student success because they help foster the relationship between students and the campus, insists Dare.
As a separate unit from central IT, Dare's department supports the specialized systems and applications endemic to Student Affairs, but also serves as an advocate for using technology to improve the student experience. "We might be techies, but that doesn't mean we're not committed to the mission of our divisions: to support development and success of the whole student on our campus," she says. Her team takes a proactive approach to IT support: "Instead of waiting for an IT support ticket, techs are looking at systems daily, suggesting improvements, or anticipating needs because they know how the department plans to expand its programming."
Living-Learning Communities At Texas A&M University, the connections students form with the university begin at their home away from home--the residence hall. The 53,000-student research university is mining enrollee data to create Living-Learning Communities (LLCs)--dormitory areas made up of students that share a specific interest or academic discipline--as a way to drive student performance. "Research has shown that when students of like disciplines are gathered together in a living-learning community, the outcomes of those students are significantly better," notes David Sweeney, director for the Department of Information Technology in the university's Division of Student Affairs.
The idea for LLCs was born when academic officers approached Residence Life with a "mountain of data to support the need for these communities," says Sweeney. "They asked how IT could help facilitate the project. We identified the process that Residence Life wanted to use, where we would get the data to make it happen, and then wrote an application."
Sweeney's team created an auto-assignment program that combines students' dorm preferences with data from the school's CRM system, such as age, major, college, and the like.
"We ask a number of questions," explains Sweeney. "What year is the student? What floor should they be on? If we can't get them in that dorm, is there another dorm in close proximity where they can live?" Once that data's collected, the application then matches like students together to create a community of learners.
Texas A&M's first LLC was its Engineering Living-Learning Community. Housed at the campus's Mosher Hall, the ELLC is made up of engineering freshmen and aims to boost retention rates by helping first-year students transition to college life.
The institution now has 11 Living-Learning Communities covering a gamut of interests, including business, science, education, liberal arts, and wellness. Each community offers support programs and activities designed to foster peer relationships, drive academic achievement, and prepare students for their future careers.
Communing Online The connections students form with their campus can be just as meaningful in the online realm, points out NCSU's Dare, who worked with the school's Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Center to launch a Facebook page for the organization. "The students and staff said they needed to connect with other GLBT students through social media," she explains, noting that Facebook can be an effective tool for reaching this marginalized student population. "Through Facebook, GLBT students can connect with each other and communicate through a forum where they feel safe and respected."
Although Facebook's tools make building a page easy, Dare worked with the staff and student leaders of the GLBT Center to define their objectives before launch. "Any new social media strategy has to be connected to goals," she asserts. It also needs to comply with campus policy, fit within the school's technical infrastructure, and include analytic tools to measure performance. The page must also identify that it does not reflect the opinions of the university itself. "We make it clear that the content of these pages or networks speak only for the organization and not the vice chancellor," says Dare.
Once these components were in place, the GLBT staff set up the page. GLBT student leaders monitor the page and post fresh content routinely. Dare's department provides advice about social media best practices, and is now working with other departments across the university to assist with account creation and management. In fact, NCSU is preparing to roll out a policy that will require Student Affairs involvement with departmental social media accounts.
Student response to the GLBT Center's Facebook page has been overwhelmingly positive, according to Dare, with more than 2,000 Facebook members "liking" the page. While the page doesn't generate a great deal of discussion, administrators report that students use it to stay updated about campus events hosted by the center.
Dare admits the school is not able to measure whether the Facebook strategy has affected retention. "We're just now starting to see research on the impact of social media on retention of students," she explains, but she's confident that the strategy has achieved its goal of creating a connection between GLBT students and their campus community.
"Through social media, the organization is reaching students who are tentative about reaching out to other students," she says. "They're making real human connections. It's a powerful tool."
Technology is being infused into all areas of the academy, observes David Sweeney, director for the Department of Information Technology in the Division of Student Affairs at Texas A&M University. The changes are occurring not just on the academic side, but also in areas considered the responsibility of Student Affairs--everything from housing and dining services to student health centers.
Even in these outlier organizations, technology has the potential to facilitate learning, foster student-campus relationships, and drive student outcomes. And technologists such as Leslie Dare, director of technology services for Academic & Student Affairs at North Carolina State University, are passionate about their role in supporting student success.
"Promoting the holistic development of our students is a critical contributor to retention and success," wrote Dare in an online discussion on Educause's Student Affairs IT Constituent Group listserv. "It's important for those of us working with technology to help others in student affairs--and in academics!--understand the impact of technology on our students' experience, both inside and outside the classroom."
For this to happen, though, Student Affairs technologists need a seat at the IT strategy table. "Student Affairs organizations have computing needs that are very different from those on the academic side of the house," notes Sweeney. Specialized--and often homegrown--systems manage everything from student conduct and registration to housing and student organizations. Student Affairs IT leaders need to be involved in the discussions around technology strategy and acquisition that will affect the organizations they support. "The number of areas that Student Affairs touches is just huge," he asserts. "It doesn't follow the same kind of pattern that we would see in typical higher ed IT."
Sweeney further notes that Student Affairs technologists can provide a fresh perspective on how students use technology. By bringing these IT specialists into planning discussions, colleges and universities can gain insights into potential challenges and discover new ideas that otherwise may not have been considered.
"Use your [Student Affairs] IT staff to build a better university," Sweeney counsels. "They want to help their schools build systems for the 21st century. They can help implement the technologies needed."

Original at the Stanford Center for Internet and Society.
Co-authored by Arvind Narayanan.
The debate over the meaning of Do Not Track has raged for well over a year now. The primary forum is the W3C Tracking Protection Working Group, with frequent sparring in the press and capitals worldwide. There are, broadly, two Do Not Track proposals: one chiefly backed by the ad industry, and another advanced by privacy advocates [1]. These proposals reflect vastly different visions for Do Not Track with vastly different practical consequences. The two sides have unsurprisingly been at loggerheads, with scant movement towards resolution of the key issues.
The ad industry position is, and has been for over a decade, that data collection and retention should be largely unfettered so long as they are associated with a permitted business use [2]. At present these permitted-use exceptions totally swallow the rule, in practice barring little more than behavioral advertisement targeting (1, 2). (Critics often deride the status quo as "Do Not Target.") A recent proposal by Yahoo! would add, in our view, only modest transparency requirements to the industry position.
But suppose the advertising industry were to meaningfully tighten its permitted uses and retention periods. Would privacy advocates, academics, and policymakers continue to object?
Yes. The industry approach to Do Not Track entirely misses the most serious privacy concerns associated with tracking, including:
Sensitive information. A user's browsing history can include remarkably sensitive information, such as medical conditions and financial challenges (e.g. 1, 2). Individual users are often identified or easily identifiable (1, 2, 3).
Lack of consumer control. Users are generally unaware of who's tracking them and how. Existing consumer control tools are difficult to discover and use, and they vary significantly in effectiveness.
Lack of market pressure. Since consumers are unaware of and lack control over tracking, third-party websites are under limited pressure to implement adequate security and privacy protections. Furthermore, many third parties are small, young, growth-oriented companies; security and privacy are not priorities.
Surveillance. Government requests for data stored in the cloud are becoming a regular occurrence, and many companies hand over data in response to such requests without informing users. If ad companies' claims about the inferential power of tracking data are correct, then the potential for surveillance is correspondingly worrisome.
A toughened version of the industry's position would also have significant practical shortcomings.
Fragile. Many systems are configured for comprehensive logging by default. It takes only the slightest oversight to begin unintentionally amassing data.
Unverifiable. There is no straightforward way to externally test whether a company is limiting its information retention and use [3].
Lock-in. As the online economy and its technology infrastructure change, use-based definitions are likely to become dated. A rigid use-based approach could lock in current advertising business practices, stifling innovation, or motivate some companies to bend the rules and justify tracking for an ever-expanding set of uses.
The privacy advocates' definition of Do Not Track takes a much different tack: it would allow (just about) any third-party business practice, so long as it does not impose the privacy risk of collecting a user's browsing history. A cookie that remembers a language preference would be allowed, for example, while a unique ID cookie would not be allowed [4].
The advocates' solution avoids the shortcomings of the ad industry approach, and is particularly elegant for two reasons.
Privacy-preserving alternatives. There are simple technological solutions to implement most or all current advertising ecosystem functionality, as we have detailed in the "Tracking Not Required" series (overview talk, frequency capping, behavioral targeting, measurement). Shifting to these architectures would involve switching costs, and in some use cases they would underperform current implementations. That said, we believe it's quite reasonable for ad companies to incur these minor burdens in exchange for the significant privacy benefits.
Verifiable. Tracking carried out in violation of this interpretation of DNT is externally detectable. This is a crucial point. Some tracking techniques store a unique ID in a user's device ("supercookies"); others read attributes from a user's device that, in combination, become unique ("fingerprinting"). Both approaches require accessing browser functionality in a manner that is, in principle, detectable.
It would also be detectable in practice — a "Web Privacy Measurement" community has sprung up that has the tools and motivation to police the web for DNT violations. Automated external detection will never achieve 100% accuracy, but it has proven highly effective at flagging possible privacy-violating information flows for manual inspection by analysts. In the worst case, it provides a basis of suspicion for regulators to conduct audits, whereas with the use-based approach audits would essentially have to be conducted blindly. As long as there is a significant chance that violators will be caught, external policing will have a strong deterrent effect. Companies will be both disincentivized from intentionally gaming DNT and incentived to institutionalize practices that ensure compliance [5].
In conclusion, the Do Not Track negotiations are nearing an impasse, while third-party tracking continues at unprecedented scale. If advertising companies and other third parties don't step up to the plate, browser vendors and regulators will likely turn to heavy-handed alternatives. We reiterate our belief that a collection-based definition of Do Not Track combined with a deployment of client-side functionality is the ideal outcome for all stakeholders.
[1] The proposal is co-authored by Jonathan Mayer who is also one of the authors of this post.
[2] The paper "Third-Party Web Tracking: Policy and Technology" includes an expanded explanation of industry self-regulatory initiatives.
[3] This CMU Cylab study is one of many demonstrating widespread non-compliance with stated policies.
[4] Protocol information (including IP address and User-Agent string) could still be collected and retained for a short duration. This assuredly introduces some privacy risk, but it is much lesser than the risk associated with long-term retention of uniquely identifying information.
[5] Some smaller players, especially those located in jurisdictions where there is no potential legal liability for non-compliance, might simply ignore DNT. The dynamics of the online advertising market mitigate the privacy risks associated with these companies; reputable first-party websites are unlikely to deploy these services. Furthermore, some technical countermeasures (i.e. blocking) are possible against non-compliant companies. The more privacy-forward browser vendors might even choose to enable countermeasures by default.

One area that seems to cause a lot of debate within the gay community is along the subject of STDs. We really don't want to admit that our community has STDs running rampant, even though this isn't necessarily a criticism that can only be made amongst gay youth. Straight teens are just as much at risk for STDs as anyone else.
So what you need to do right now is strip out the politics, the health studies, and the media and think about how STDs think about your life. You want to ensure that you are taking care of your body, because it's the only one that you have. You don't want to get caught up in a web of lies that can take away your health.
First and foremost, if you are sexually active, you should be getting tested — period. Don't think that just because you can't see anything on your partner doesn't mean that you can't be passed something. The reality is that some STDs can take weeks, months, or even years before it manifests in a person. You have to ensure that you are staying safe. If you feel that you might be at greater risk for passing along an STD due to a direct contact with someone that has an active infection, you need to be honest with anyone else that comes along.
One of the worst breaches of trust that you can think of is when you have someone that has an STD but doesn't tell anyone. This is actually how STDs spread like crazy. You wake up to find that so many people have a disease that they can give you, and that's not anything to laugh about. Would you really want someone to treat you that way?
If we want to reach for equality, then it starts at home. We need to make sure that we're treating each other with respect. Hiding an STD out of fear is understandable, but it's still not acceptable. If you really want to ensure that everything is taken care of, then you definitely need to start thinking about getting checked regularly.
There are many planned parenthoods and sliding scale clinics that offer STD testing. You can also check out GLAAD's resources on the matter — a quick Google search reveals all of these points and more.
The bottom line is that we can't just pretend like STDs aren't an issue. In fact, if we treat them faster, we may be able to prevent more people from getting exposed.
It's equally important to make sure that you're not only disclosing, but you're practicing in risk aware sexual safety practices. Safe sex is a bit of a misnomer — you're never fully safe, but you are at least risk aware of what's going on. You are aware of what can go wrong. You are using protection.
For gay teens today, this means that you want to use condoms. You can also use dental dams for oral sex. If you are using sex toys in the bedroom, they need to be used with condoms as well. There are non-latex condoms if you have a latex sensitivity.
Be sure that you are really taking this seriously. It's your body and it's your life — live it the way you were meant to live it!

Tide® has signed a Space Act Agreement with NASA to help in the development of laundry detergent solutions and technology development in space. Under the agreement, NASA may test and study Tide cleaning solutions in space. The study could have potential on-planet implications like innovative solutions for resource and environmental challenges on Earth. Aligning with Tide's decade-long sustainability commitment, Ambition 2030, Tide will strive to bring off-planet learnings back to everyday consumer products.
Currently, astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) wear clothing several times before replacing with a new set. Clothing is delivered to the station through resupply shipment opportunities. The limited cargo capacity makes the practice of replenishing the clothing supply challenging for deep space missions, such as Artemis Moon missions and a crewed roundtrip Mars mission. Without a laundry solution, 160 pounds of clothing per crew member per year are launched to the ISS. Human roundtrip missions to Mars could be two to three years in length.
Major challenges for off-Earth laundering include ingredient safety and compatibility with NASA life support systems, and the limited amount of water available per wash load and the requirement that the wash water be purified back to drinking-quality water. To combat these challenges, Tide has developed a fully degradable detergent, specifically designed for use in space to solve malodor, cleanliness and stain removal problems for washable items used during deep space missions, while being suitable for use in a close-loop water system.
Onboard a 2022 cargo launch to the space station, "Mission PGTide" (P&G Telescience Investigation of Detergent Experiments), teams will test the stability of cleaning ingredients under microgravity conditions and exposure to the radiation levels experienced in space in partnership with the ISS U.S. National Laboratory and SEOPS. In addition, the stain removal ingredients and performance will be tested onboard the ISS through experiments with Tide To Go Wipes and Tide To Go Pens.
"The ISS National Lab is excited to work with the P&G team once again as they push the limits of their research and development onboard the orbiting laboratory," said Dr. Michael Roberts, Acting Chief Scientist for the ISS National Lab. "Through private-sector utilization of the space station, companies like P&G can conduct investigations in ways not possible on Earth to develop new consumer products, enhance existing products, and better understand processes that further business models both on the ground and in low Earth orbit. We look forward to this first investigation of Tide in Space and hope that many more will soon follow."
In addition to testing onboard the ISS National Lab, NASA and Tide researchers may study how an innovative combined washing and drying unit utilizing the special-formulated detergent could potentially be integrated into planetary habitats that may be used for the Artemis Moon and Mars missions under low-gravity surface conditions. There are also a unique set of challenges that present themselves for a crewed Mars mission. Future missions to and from Mars expect to span multiple years, and these long-duration flights will require laundry solutions designed for extreme space-based environments and varying gravity conditions.
"This partnership was created to rethink cleaning solutions – forcing us to rethink innovations for resource-constrained and challenging environments like the ISS, deep space and even the future of our home planet," said Aga Orlik, Senior Vice President, P&G North America Fabric Care. "We are eager to apply our learnings from our partnerships with NASA and the ISS National Lab to Tide on Earth, developing a low-resource-use laundry solution for everyday use while meeting consumer demand for more sustainable products."
The news of Tide's space exploration to innovate low-impact laundry solutions comes on the heels of Tide's Ambition 2030 commitments, announced earlier this spring. Included among Tide's Ambition commitments were actionable goals to find resource efficiencies in energy, water and waste across the laundry lifecycle – from manufacturing and packaging to consumer use phase and end of life – to reduce the environmental impact of a load of laundry while increasing the impact of clean clothes.
"Humanity has reached a pivotal point where on one hand, we're on the exciting cusp of space colonization, and on the other, facing a critical period where action must be taken now to save the planet we all call home," said Orlik. "The collaboration with NASA and the ISS National Lab are particularly exciting because it allows us to push the bounds of resource efficiency to its absolute limit, uncovering learnings with practical applications for both the future of laundry in space and here on Earth."

BEECH GROVE, Ind. — A man has been arrested after he recorded himself dumping a bag of flour onto the head of a 68-year-old woman at a Beech Grove, Indiana Walmart on Wednesday.
An off-duty IMPD officer working at the Walmart on Emerson Avenue just after 10 a.m. when he was informed of the incident. The 68-year-old woman was shopping in the store when a man she didn't know snuck up behind her and dumped an entire bag of flour on her head.
The suspect, Phillip Weaver, 22, recorded the incident on Facebook Live and shared it on his social media page. Weaver was arrested Thursday afternoon.
He's been preliminarily charged with battery, theft, theft of a firearm and criminal mischief in reference to that incident.
Final charges will be determined by the Marion County Prosecutor's office. The incident remains under investigation.
A quick view at Weaver's social media pages shows that he regularly records himself doing what he calls "pranks" to other people in public places and shares them with his followers. Some people commenting on this posts find his "pranks" funny, but others have called him out for what he has done.
WRTV has chosen not to share these posts or pranks because of the nature of the content and to protect the victims involved.

As a research project months back Balthazar and I tested 3 modern face detection libraries (definitely see Balthazar's write-up). Face.com had just been acquired by facebook, they had a great and free service which annotated not just face locations but also sex, age and emotion. We also tested OpenCV (popular and free) and the lesser known libccv.
Previously I'd used openCV to build a face tracking robot head in Python and we figured a review of what's easily available might be fun:
Balthazar ran the face detection process with face.com and OpenCV, I added libccv. We used 200 images kindly provided by Rosario Rascuna (@_sarhus), collected from Instagram and annotated by us. We listed 150 images with faces and 50 without to test how often faces are correctly detected and whether faces are seen where they shouldn't be.
We did not test the locations of the face, just the absolute count per image. This means that a face could be incorrectly spotted in an image whilst the true face was missed – our scoring system would still say '1 was expected and 1 was found so that is correct'. Manual inspection suggested that this is a minor problem (though if I ran the experiment again I'd take the time to hand-annotate every face's location and check that faces were detected in the right place).
OpenCV provides a set of pre-trained data files (as xml with names like alt_tree_cascade), we tested them individually and then combined all their detections into an uber-detector. The goal for OpenCV was just to see how well it might do without fine tuning.
For OpenCV we used v2.3, for libccv we used v0.1.
I'll be posting some of the code that we used along with the dataset, I'll update a link here when I've done that.
- face.com found 144 of the 150 images with faces with 0 false positives (i.e. it didn't say once that an image without a face had a face)
- OpenCV found 93 images with faces of the 150 images and an additional 4 that were false positives
- libccv found 99 images with faces of the 150 images and an additional 6 that were false positives
The short story is that the open source tools are 'pretty good' but face.com was better (and is now unavailable). Since this piece of work Stephen's LambdaLabs offers a RESTful face detection (and recognition) API, I've not evaluated it.
There's clearly room for a web based service in this area, training it with feedback would be a nice feature. Adding face recognition (as LambdaLabs has, but OpenCV/libccv doesn't) is an obvious bonus. I've seen face detection used for:
- cropping uploaded faces in web profile pictures
- filtering non-face photos from photo albums
- filtering face photos from restaurant review sites
I suspect we'll see more computer vision APIs that make it easier to annotate images (much the reason why I've registered this skeleton site for annotate.io), given the rise in photos on sites like Instagram (and flickr before).

Press Release
November 20, 1998
54th Massachusetts Infantry Reenactors to Serve as Honor Guard for the Emancipation Proclamation
Washington, D.C. ... On Saturday, January 16, 1999, from 10 A.M. to 5:30 P.M., in the National Archives Rotunda, reenactors of the historic 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, one of the most celebrated regiments of black soldiers that fought in the Civil War, will serve as honor guard in a ceremonial watch over the original Emancipation Proclamation.
The document will be on display Friday, January 15, 1999, through Thursday, January 21, 1999. The National Archives Rotunda will be open on Martin Luther King's Birthday, Monday, January 18, 1999. The exhibition will be free and open to the public. The document will be displayed in a free-standing case in the National Archives Rotunda, at Constitution Avenue between 7th and 9th Streets, NW, from 10 A.M. to 5:30 P.M. daily.
Members of the all-volunteer reenactment group will be dressed in exact replicas of the uniforms of the famous 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment: Dark blue wool uniforms with brass buttons and belt buckles, traditional forage caps, leather brogans with square toes designed to be worn on either foot, and British Enfield rifles. The reenactors are available to answer historical questions about the Regiment.
Background about the Emancipation Proclamation: President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, during the American Civil War, formally proclaiming the freedom of all slaves held in areas still in revolt. The issuance of this Proclamation clarified and strengthened the position of the Union government, decreased the likelihood of European support of the Confederacy and, as the Union armies extended their occupation of the southern states, brought freedom to the slaves in those states. Many historians credit the Emancipation Proclamation with changing the character of the Civil War from a struggle to preserve the Union to a crusade for human liberty. The signing of the Emancipation Proclamation was a significant milestone leading to the ratification of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution in 1865, formally outlawing slavery throughout the nation.

Spring is in the air (officially) but Miami is already red hot with the start of Ultra Music Festival weekend two.
A brisk walk along the South Beach boardwalk and I caught the end of W&W's set at the swanky, exclusive SiriusXM Music Lounge/Motorola Music Lounge at the W Hotel in Miami Beach. A step in any direction and one runs into Bobina or Chad Cisneros of Tritonal — literally because the place is the Miami Beach hot spot of the day and is packed! This year's lounge boasted, "…invited guests get to rock out to Sol Republic headphones and create their own custom pair while they enjoy Corzo Tequila cocktails in a lush outdoor private oasis." Armin van Buuren performed on the courtyard stage promoting his forthcoming album Intense. Unfortunately there was no time for a complimentary Corzo drink because Ultra Weekend Two day one was already in full swing.
Catching a cab ride is the challenge of the weekend but once inside out of the rain it's a scenic and relatively quick ride over the Venetian Causeway to Ultra Music Festival, the media check-in and the yacht media tent at Bayfront Park. Martin Solveig was hanging in the wings backstage prepping for his set just a few minutes away. Grabbing a quick posed shot of Mr. Solveig I then made my way to situate myself in the pit for his performance. He played a captivating, well-received set including his smash hit "The Night Out" and "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" all in a massive downpour.
Nicky Romero, who is quickly rising to the well-deserving title of epitome of the superstar DJ, played the Ultra Worldwide Stage to an overflowing crowd. His productions, remixes, live performances are all flawless. He entertained with the crowd-reeling "Sparks," the promotion for this year's Ultra Music Festival.
Boys Noize was off the hook at the Live Stage DJing from a skull prop deck with red glowing eyes. He feverishly dropped "Yeah," "Lemonade," "Jeffer" and "My Head" to a crazed audience.
Bloody Beetroots followed with a live set including their crowd-pleaser "Dimmakmmunication."
Quintino closed out the Jacked stage with a special appearance off-and-on by R3hab and thrilled the crowd with the UMF hit "Pursuit Of Happiness."
Rather than contend with the mass exodus catching a cab to South Beach, Club Therapy in Miami with High Contrast seemed like the better bet. The MC introduced with, "Who's ready to blast off for High Contrast?!" and the remainder of the night was an ecstatic blur although I know he did drop "Show Me Love." A few tracks in Camo & Krooked's set including a sampling of Beastie Boys "Hey Ladies" and an intensified remix of "We Are Your Friends," it was time to call it a day and head back to South Beach to be re-energized for the remainder of UMF weekend.

by Victor Hugo,
From Les Feuilles D'Automne
Child, were I king, I'd yield my royal rule,
My chariot, sceptre, vassal-service due,
My crown, my porphyry-basined waters cool,
My fleets, whereto the sea is but a pool,
For a glance from you!
Love, were I God, the earth and its heaving airs,
Angels, the demons abject under me,
Vast chaos with its teeming womby lairs,
Time, space, all would I give--aye, upper spheres,
For a kiss from thee!
translation by Thomas Hardy
photogravure by Goupil et Cie, from a drawing by Deveria, appears in a collection of Hugo's poetry published by Estes and Lauriat in the late 1800s.
Why is Valentine's Day on February 14th?
There is a theory that the only reason tomorrow is associated with Cupid is due to a poem Geoffrey Chaucer wrote.
In 1381, Chaucer was busy composing a poem in honor of the arranged marriage between England's Richard II and Anne of Bohemia. This was a very big deal indeed, and Chaucer was looking for just the right saint to honor on May 3, the day Richard II signed the papers of engagement to his Bohemia beauty.Why exactly is unclear, however, if you forgot, and someone is upset, perhaps you can use this information to give yourself a few extra months.
His search ended, Kelly surmises, when Chaucer learned that a Saint Valentine of Genoa had an honorary feast day on May 3. Perfect! So he wrote the poem "The Parliament of Fowls" in the couple's honor.
"The Parliament of Fowls" literally means "the meeting of birds," says Kelly. "Chaucer dreamed up the idea that all birds chose their mates on May 3rd," he says.
After Chaucer's death in 1400, Valentine's Day celebrations got pushed back to February.

Growing up as a young girl, Sabrina Jacobs could only dream her life would be
this good. She has a successful career, a famous sexy husband, two
children, a house in an affluent Westchester suburb and a shoe
collection worthy of a magazine spread. Too bad it's all a façade.
It has been almost a year since her husband admitted he had an affair with
a younger and bouncier co-worker. Follow Sabrina as she tries to rein
in her out-of-control life by kicking her husband out on his rear,
chucking her career and even firing her too-cute-for-the-job nanny. But
how will she survive as a stay-at-home mom in the land of designer

hunky young French teacher, who has been flirting shamelessly with
Sabrina, is just what she needs to take her mind off her problems. Well,
not if her husband has something to say about it. Will Sabrina be able
to forgive and still be true to herself?
I give Sean a weak smile and pull him towards me. I kiss him
deeply. And I can feel the immediate surprise course though his body. But the
surprise doesn't stop him and it doesn't take much to get him going. He
instantly falls into action, running his large hands up and down my back. Kissing
my neck then trailing his tongue down toward my breasts.
I let my mind drift as his mouth wanders. Off to the past.
To the time when Sean used to woo me by playing my favorite songs for hours on
end. The lyrics talking about being with me until the end of time flow through
my memory as Sean continues his languid journey stopping at all the places he
knows too well to get just the desired response from me. He kisses and I shift.
He licks and I sigh. He strokes and I arch. All the while my body goes from
sensation to sensation while my mind is at war going from memory to memory.
Pleasure to pain. Opening doors to rooms that I don't want to see. Images that
I'm too afraid to face.
"Baby, where are you?"
I look up. Surprised to see Sean above me. Eyes filled with
worry and questions. A part of me wants to close my own eyes and turn away, but
I don't. I face him straight on. "I'm here. Right here." I give him a smile
then angle up to kiss him.
Going deep putting my hand between our bodies and
guiding him to my center. He fills me and I let my eyes close. Shutting one

ACCORD TfP Programme supports strengthening of UNMISS Civil Affairs
17 Feb 2012
The Training for Peace Programme (TfP) at ACCORD's Peacekeeping Unit, has been actively engaged in supporting the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) Civil Affairs Division (CAD) capacity to implement its mandate. Its relationship with UN peacekeeping operations can be dated several years ago, and has since been able to implement several projects in the areas of training, policy development and applied research.
Currently, TfP/ACCORD, in partnership with ACCORD's Peacemaking and Training Units, has been engaged in two main processes that facilitate and support the work of UNMISS CAD. The first process refers to the design of a curriculum that has being tailored around the needs of UNMISS CAD in relation to conflict management support. As part of this process, TfP/ACCORD hosted a training needs assessment workshop from 10-14 October 2011 in Juba, South Sudan. The workshop allowed the Programme to assess specific needs that UNMISS CAD has in terms of training on conflict management, particularly in relation to providing support and enabling existing processes in South Sudan. Furthermore, it also allowed the Programme to raise awareness for a selected number of Civil Affairs Officers in relation to conflict management and its role within civil affairs mandate. As a follow up of the workshop, ACCORD is currently using the information acquired in the workshop in several interviews conducted in Juba in designing a training curriculum, which will be implemented throughout 2012. It is expected that ACCORD will carry out two introductory training activities which will be followed by a refresher event.
ACCORD's conflict management handbook for peacekeepers and peacebuilders can be downloaded here.
The second project in which ACCORD is engaged at the moment relates to an assessment of the conflict management field in South Sudan, which follows a successful evaluation of the CAD in the former UN Mission in Sudan, conducted during the second semester of 2010. UNMISS Civil Affairs approached ACCORD requesting support in evaluating the current state of the conflict management field in South Sudan, particularly in relation to mediation and negotiation, and to better understand the complex environment in which Civil Affairs officers are presently operating. The research focuses on identifying the existing capacities for conflict management in South Sudan – both internal and international – as well as the gaps that remain undressed. The research has been conducted in three parts: (1) desktop based research and remote interviews; (2) general assessment field study; (3) specific assessment field study. ACCORD's team has currently conducted the first two parts of the assessment between November and December 2011. Mr. Jeremy Taylor, ACCORD's Peacemaking Unit Senior Programme Officer, will be in South Sudan from 20 February 2011 conducting the last part of the assessment.
ACCORD and UNMIS CAD assessment of UNMIS Conflict Management work can be found here.
These activities reflect the efforts that ACCORD currently has in strengthening civilian capacity of peacekeeping operations, focusing in training, policy development and research activities.
For further information on ACCORD's work with UNMISS Civil Affairs contact Mr. Gustavo de Carvalho, Peacekeeping Analyst at ACCORD (email@example.com) or Mr. Jeremy Taylor, Peacemaking Unit Senior Programme Officer (firstname.lastname@example.com).

text: A 19-year-old man has just stood trial for the fatal stabbing of his father. "He doesn't stand a chance," mutters the guard as the 12 jurors are taken into the bleak jury room. It looks like an open-and-shut case—until one of the jurors begins opening the others' eyes to the facts. "This is a remarkable thing about democracy," says the foreign-born juror, "that we are notified by mail to come down to this place—and decide on the guilt or innocence of a man; of a man we have not known before. We have nothing to gain or lose by our verdict. We should not make it a personal thing." But personal it does become, with each juror revealing his or her own character as the various testimonies are re-examined, the murder is re-enacted and a new murder threat is born before their eyes! Tempers get short and arguments grow heated. The jurors' final verdict and how they reach it—in tense scenes that will electrify your audience and keep them on the edge of their seats—add up to a fine, mature piece of dramatic literature, an experience you'll be excited to see.

alloween is a special holiday for dogs, but before big event, its a good idea to just do a quick double check of these safety tips from the ASPCA.
1. No tricks, no treats: That bowl of candy is for trick-or-treaters, not for Scruffy and Fluffy. Chocolate in all forms—especially dark or baking chocolate—can be very dangerous for dogs and cats. Candies containing the artificial sweetener xylitol can also cause problems. If you do suspect your pet has ingested something toxic, please call your veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435.
2. Popular Halloween plants such as pumpkins and decorative corn are considered to be relatively nontoxic, but they can produce stomach upset in pets who nibble on them.
3. Wires and cords from electric lights and other decorations should be kept out of reach of your pets. If chewed, your pet might suffer cuts or burns, or receive a possibly life-threatening electrical shock.
4. A carved pumpkin certainly is festive, but do exercise caution if you choose to add a candle. Pets can easily knock a lit pumpkin over and cause a fire. Curious kittens especially run the risk of getting burned or singed by candle flames.
5. Dress-up can be a big mess-up for some pets. Please don't put your dog or cat in a costume UNLESS you know he or she loves it (yup, a few pets are real hams!). For pets who prefer their "birthday suits," however, wearing a costume may cause undue stress.
6. If you do dress up your pet, make sure the costume isn't annoying or unsafe. It should not constrict the animal's movement or hearing, or impede his ability to breathe, bark or meow. Also, be sure to try on costumes before the big night. If your pet seems distressed, allergic or shows abnormal behavior, consider letting him go au naturale or donning a festive bandana.
7. Take a closer look at your pet's costume and make sure it does not have small, dangling or easily chewed-off pieces that he could choke on. Also, ill-fitting outfits can get twisted on external objects or your pet, leading to injury.
8. All but the most social dogs and cats should be kept in a separate room away from the front door during peak trick-or-treating hours. Too many strangers can be scary and stressful for pets.
9. When opening the door for trick-or-treaters, take care that your cat or dog doesn't dart outside.
10. IDs, please! Always make sure your dog or cat has proper identification. If for any reason your pet escapes and becomes lost, a collar and tags and/or a microchip can be a lifesaver, increaing the chances that he or she will be returned to you. This is an easy one – make sure that you dog's id tag is secure and that the information is up-to-date.

Matters of the heart can be puzzling and mysterious — so too with unusual astronomical objects called heartbeat stars.
Heartbeat stars, discovered in large numbers by NASA's Kepler space telescope, are binary stars (systems of two stars orbiting each other) that got their name because if you were to map out their brightness over time, the result would look like an electrocardiogram, a graph of the electrical activity of the heart. Scientists are interested in them because they are binary systems in elongated elliptical orbits. This makes them natural laboratories for studying the gravitational effects of stars on each other.
In a heartbeat star system, the distance between the two stars varies drastically as they orbit each other. Heartbeat stars can get as close as a few stellar radii to each other, and as far as 10 times that distance during the course of one orbit.
At the point of their closest encounter, the stars' mutual gravitational pull causes them to become slightly ellipsoidal in shape, which is one of the reasons their light is so variable. This is the same type of "tidal force" that causes ocean tides on Earth. By studying heartbeat stars, astronomers can gain a better understanding of how this phenomenon works for different kinds of stars.
Tidal forces also cause heartbeat stars to vibrate or "ring" — in other words, the diameters of the stars rapidly fluctuate as they orbit each other. This effect is most noticeable at the point of closest approach.
"You can think about the stars as bells, and once every orbital revolution, when the stars reach their closest approach, it's as if they hit each other with a hammer," said Avi Shporer, NASA Sagan postdoctoral fellow at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California, and lead author of a recent study on heartbeat stars. "One or both stars vibrate throughout their orbits, and when they get nearer to each other, it's as though they are ringing very loudly."
Kepler, now in its K2 Mission, discovered large numbers of heartbeat stars just in the last several years. A 2011 study discussed a star called KOI-54 that shows an increase in brightness every 41.8 days. In 2012, a subsequent study characterized 17 additional objects in the Kepler data and dubbed them "heartbeat stars." To characterize these unique systems, further data and research were required.
Shporer's study, published in the Astrophysical Journal, measured the orbits of 19 heartbeat star systems — the largest batch ever characterized in a single study. The authors followed up on known heartbeat stars, previously identified by the Kepler mission. Specifically, they used an instrument on the W.M. Keck Observatory telescope in Hawaii called the High Resolution Echelle Spectrometer (HIRES), which measures the wavelengths of incoming light, which are stretched out when a star is moving away from us and shorter in motion toward us. This information allows astronomers to calculate the speed of the objects along the line of sight, and measure the shape of the orbit.
"We found that the heartbeat stars in our sample tend to be hotter than the sun and bigger than the sun," Shporer said. "But it is possible that there are others with different temperature ranges that we did not yet measure."
Study authors also postulate that some binary systems of heartbeat stars could have a third star in the system that has not yet been detected, or even a fourth star.
"The mere existence of heartbeat stars is a bit of a puzzle," said Susan Mullally (formerly Thompson), a SETI Institute scientist working for the Kepler Mission at NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California, and co-author of the study. "All the tidal stretching of these heartbeat stars should have quickly caused the system to evolve into a circular orbit. A third star in the system is one way to create the highly stretched-out, elliptical orbits we observe."
Researchers are currently pursuing follow-up studies to search for third-star components in heartbeat star systems.
"We look forward to continued collaboration between ground and space observatories to better understand the complex inner workings of heartbeat stars," Shporer said.
NASA Ames manages the Kepler and K2 missions for NASA's Science Mission Directorate. JPL managed Kepler mission development. Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corporation operates the flight system with support from the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado in Boulder. Work on this study was performed in part under contract with JPL funded by NASA through the Sagan Fellowship Program executed by the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute.

Family man, newlyweds among dead in crash of Alaska planes
By RACHEL D'ORO and MORGAN SMITH
Associated Press
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) – A newly married couple, a pilot who used his family's savings to buy his own plane, a devoted family man from Australia and an office manager at an insurance company with a vivacious personality and a heart of gold were among the six victims in this week's deadly midair collision of two sightseeing planes in Alaska.
Ten others survived the Monday crash over an inlet in southeast Alaska near the cruise ship port community of Ketchikan. All 14 passengers were off the cruise ship Royal Princess, which is on a seven-day trip in Alaska.
Alaska State Troopers identified the passengers who died as 46-year-old Louis Botha of San Diego, 56-year-old Simon Bodie from Tempe, New South Wales, Australia, 62-year-old Cassandra Webb from St. Louis, 39-year-old Ryan Wilk from Utah and 37-year-old Elsa Wilk of Richmond, British Columbia, Canada. Also killed was the pilot of one of the planes, 46-year-old Randy Sullivan of Ketchikan.
The larger of the floatplanes was recovered and put on a barge for transport to Ketchikan, National Transportation Safety Board member Jennifer Homendy said Wednesday. The recovery of the smaller plane has begun and will take longer because of the large debris field from that aircraft, Homendy said.
Retired fisherman Chuck Hanas told NBC's Today Show that that he was on his skiff when he saw the larger plane hit the water so hard that its floats were ripped off. It turned upside down and sank and he motored toward the site to rescue the people who emerged.
"I saw people bobbing all over the place…I was in the right place at the right time," Hanas said.
Here's a closer look at the people who did not survive:
Simon Bodie, 56, was a businessman from Tempe, New South Wales, Australia, and described in Australian media as a "devoted family man."
Bodie, a father of two, is believed to have taken the fateful flight with his wife of 31 years, Stephanie, The Australian newspaper reported.
"Simon was a unique beautiful person and a devoted family man. He will be greatly missed by all that knew him," his family said in a statement issued through the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
Randy Sullivan knew the perils of flying in southeast Alaska, where weather is always a challenge.
"The danger," Sullivan told the Los Angeles Times in a profile in 2015, "it's on people's minds. Always."
His wife, Julie, also knew the risks.
She kissed him before each flight as a gesture of good luck and love.
The Sullivans owned and operated Mountain Air Service, a flight service specializing in Misty Fjords National Monument tours, bear viewing and glacier tours, according to the company website. It says Sullivan grew up in Ketchikan, spending time as a child in remote logging camps.
He received aviation training at Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology in Tulsa, Oklahoma, before returning to Ketchikan. He flew in the Ketchikan area for 14 years, according to the website.
"After countless hours of flying, he has become extremely well respected and known to be 'one of the best' in his field," the page states.
He spent his family's $500,000 savings on a 1952 Beaver airplane, he told the Los Angles newspaper. It wasn't clear if that aircraft was the doomed plane.
Julie Sullivan has been given legal advice not to speak to reporters, said her father, Bud Kenyon.
"We're shocked, you know. We're just in disbelief about all this. It's hard to understand this. It's tough for us, you know," he said, his voice breaking. "It's a roller coaster."
RYAN and ELSA WILK
Ryan and Elsa Wilk planned to move from British Columbia to their new home in a Salt Lake City suburb.
They were killed in Monday's crash.
Ryan Wilk, 39, was a cybersecurity expert who had been featured in a number of articles, including in the New York Times.
He was a vice president for the Canadian firm NuData Security, a division of MasterCard.
Friends and colleagues remember Wilk as an intelligent, witty man who cherished good beer and long conversations.
"I can tell you my brother was an amazing man, son, husband, brother and uncle. We are completely devastated," his sister, Shannon Wilk, told Salt Lake City television station KSL.
"Ryan was a very kind man with a fun personality. I loved how much we laughed together," Daniela Veliz Llaguno, Wilk's first wife, told The Associated Press.
His free time was spent camping, watching college football and listening to the Grateful Dead, she added.
Friends remembered Elsa Wilk, 37, as a kind, dedicated friend looking forward to the next stage of her life.
Mark Pashley, who knew Elsa through their taekwondo practice, said Wilk was a fierce competitor in the studio and a social butterfly who loved to joke with friends in her free time.
Wilk had worked as a marketing director for different tech companies in Vancouver and held a black belt in taekwondo. She traveled around the world to compete in the sport.
Pashley said the couple hoped to start a family together in Salt Lake City.
"Everyone knew them as a wonderful couple, they were totally in love," he added.
Shannon Wilk told KSL that another victim, Louis Botha of San Diego, was Elsa Wilk's brother. Attempts by The Associated Press to reach the Botha family were not immediately successful.
Cassandra Webb, 62, liked to be called Cassie and was looking forward to retirement, getting a little travel time in ahead of that by taking trips with friends who have already ended their careers.
The Alaska trip was one she was really looking forward to, said Kevin Epperson, her boss and a co-worker in St. Louis for 30 years.
Webb and her friends spent three days in Vancouver, British Columbia, and then planned to be on the Royal Princess cruise in Alaska for seven days before ending the trip with a seven-day rail trip across Canada.
"Cassie was just an absolutely amazing person," Epperson said. "I mean, she was, you know, just a hoot to be around, she was a lot of fun. She always had a positive outlook on everything, had a heart of gold."
Epperson said he was in shock when he got the news. "The last thing you expect when somebody goes on a vacation, that they're going to perish," he said.
He will feel her absence every day at his insurance firm where she was the office manager.
"It's a loss that she's not going to be sitting across from me anymore. I'm not going to get to see her and talk to her every day," he said. "She was like a second mom to me."
Among her survivors are two sons, Dustin and Caleb.
Smith reported from Salt Lake City. Associated Press journalists Mark Thiessen in Anchorage and Michelle A. Monroe in Phoenix, and Associated Press researcher Rhonda Shafner contributed to this report.

Publisher Description
The classic novel that inspired the Academy award-winning film, There Will Be Blood.
Penguin Books is proud to now be the sole publisher of Oil!, the classic 1927 novel by Upton Sinclair. After writing The Jungle, his scathing indictment of the meatpacking industry, Sinclair turned his sights on the early days of the California oil industry in a highly entertaining story featuring a cavalcade of characters including senators, oil magnets, Hollywood film starlets, and a crusading evangelist.
This lively and panoramic book, which was recently cited by David Denby in the New Yorker as being Sinclair's "most readable" novel, is now the inspiration for the Paramount Vantage major motion picture, There Will Be Blood. It is the long-awaited film from Paul Thomas Anderson, one of the most admired filmmakers working today whose previous movies, Boogie Nights and Magnolia were both multiple Academy Award nominees. The movie stars Oscar-winner Daniel Day-Lewis (Gangs of New York, My Left Foot) and Paul Dano (Little Miss Sunshine).
Paramount Vantage will be releasing the film in New York and Los Angeles on December 26, 2007 and go nationwide in January. This is the same company responsible for Babel and A Mighty Heart and the current releases, Into the Wild, Margot at the Wedding, and The Kite Runner.
As wars rage on in the oil region and as anxiety over natural resources rise, the subject of this book, which celebrates its 80th anniversary in 2007, is more timely than ever.

The best written book ever

GALLERY: Dazzling Movie Marquees That Give Small Upstate Towns A Starring Role
The sparkling movie marquees on some small town Upstate community theaters are their town's most iconic features. Tiny towns, under 10,000 in population and many times in rural locations, have old movie houses that date back a century and these theaters have great Hollywood-style movie marquees out front.
We have all been drawn in by the kaleidoscopic marquees in places like Los Angeles or New York City, and these, though smaller, are just as beautiful. Today, many of Upstate's fabulous marquees are refitted and ready to go for another century or two. LED lights and digital movie title boards have replaced the old ones, some of them 50, 60 or even 100 years old. Today, these marquees dazzle in the nighttime sky.
Most of these theaters are located in the heart of the town they are in, giving the center of the business district a distinctive up-scale look to them. We know there are many that could be on this list, but here are 11 we find extra special.

February 23: Doctors and hospitals are the reason why humankind is alive and are able to recover from pain and trauma. Doctors themselves are called god's shadow, and this fact cannot be denied that only because of doctors humans are evolving. Today we are coming with a story of one such hospital PRATAP PRASUTI GRIH and some dedicated doctors behind this successfully growing hospital.
Pratap Prasuti Grih Hospital was established by Dr. Puspa Tanwar (gynacologist) in year 1980 in Bikaner, Rajasthan. Many of you might not be familier with term Prasuti, which means delivery of baby in Sanskrit. It was the very first hospital of Bikaner, for women`s well being and welfare. Before this, this city was dependent upon only government hospitals and the doctors used to go to home of the patient for deliveries. But there was high maternal and child complication rates in hoe delivery. So Dr. PushpaTanwar decided to provide this facility in a private hospital. This was the very first Women`s Super Speciality Hospital of this region. In year 2001 Her Son & Daughter in Law Dr Vikram Singh and Dr Suman Kanwar decided to come back from Europe and joined her. In 2003 it was decided to start a IVF center in Bikaner, Rajasthan, as PRATAP IVF. This was the very first IVF center of Bikaner region. It got very good response from the people all over region. In 2017, After viewing need of IVF for a common man in the field of medicals, government of rajasthan decided to sign a contract with Pratap prasuti grih to operate and to establish IVF center in district government hospitals. It was the big opportunity for the hospital as they got the government authorized work for spreading their work and for betterment. Fortunately, the district hospitals of government were in collaboration with government medical colleges which gave them a wide area and huge network to grow and work on. This was the turning point for the Pratap prasuti grih .
The first contract of the hospital was with SMS medical college, Jaipur in Jan 2018, in Hari Baksh Kanwatiya Hospital, Shastri Nagar, Jaipur.
Second was with S P Medical College, Bikaner and the center started in Satellite Hospital right in the heart of the city. The third one was started in Mother and Child wing of SK medical college, Sikar. The fourth one was Rajkumari Amrit Kaur hospital, Beawar, district hospital of Ajmer. These all collaboration was under Rajasthan government supervision and authority.
From since, they have been working in these districts of Rajasthan to provide proper IVF facilities in the government hospitals. Their successful chances of IVF has been 70-75% which has built the trust among the desired ones who visits the hospital.
The head of the hospital, Dr. Suman Tanwarsays that, it is very important to build trust among the patients which releases positive hormones in the body which results in positive IVF. He said, "our hospital has been giving better results than many of the other private hospitals". Pratap IVF has been doing this treatment at very low and affordable price and even less than some of the renowned private hospital with same or almost same successful rate. Pratap IVF claims to be the most affordable IVF treatment provider across India. Speaking on this, Dr. Vikram said that, most of their patients are from middle class family. Also only 1% of Indian population has access to IVF treatment due the cost involved. So, to make IVF affordable, they have been doing this.
There have been lot of people who have worked hard to establish this hospital and to make it successful.
The first one is Dr. Puspa Tanwar, who left her a settled government job to set up a very first private hospital of the city. She is a Gynaecologist and has MS degree in gynaecology. She is from 1961 batch of Sardar patel medical college. Apart from this, she has been doing Laparoscopic surgery and has experience of more than 50 years.
The second name that comes in a row is of Technical director of Pratap IVF, Dr. Vikram Singh Tanwar. He is also from Sardar P Medical college, 1987 batch, Bikaner. He has done DNB (diplomate of national board) in surgery. He also got trained Europe for five years in VATS ( Video Assisted thoracic surgery). He has also been trained as an embryologist from Chennai.
Dr. Suman Tanwar , the wife of Dr. Vikram Singh Tanwar, who also went to Europe for five years for training in IVF, has done MBBS from Rohtak and done D.N.B in gynaecology. She has been doing IVF in India since 2003.
Apart from these specialists, there are a lot of doctors and IVF Technicians who have made this graph of success grow steeply. They have balanced the trust of people in government hospitals with their dedicated hard work and experienced hands.
Dr. Vikram Singh Tanwar replied a simple answer that he and his team wanted to give the best treatment at an affordable price and wanted to remove the taboo from the society about IVF by spreading positive results.
He said that PRATAP IVF would be coming in many other states on the Franchisee business model very soon.
