This project strives to identify some of the key water borne pathogens in Indian and Canadian water bodies, and to deploy a novel nanoparticle-based water treatment system to eliminate toxins and micro-organizsms from water. The research further aims to develop a better understanding of the role of invasive acquatic plants and the overall relationship between water quality and human health indix.
NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS (November 2016)
- Community surveys have been conducted and health outcomes have been reporting showing presence of a variety of water-related issues including typhoid fever, jaundice, and diarrhoea.
- Researchers have completed design of the biosensor device
- The research has led to the filing of a US provisional patent in September 2016, "Nanoparticle enhanced impedance-based molecular sensing"
PROJECT UPDATE (April 2016)
Preparations for the mesocosm experiments to evaluate the phytoremediation potential of fast spreading aquatic plant species are underway. Researchers have finished up a phylogeographic comparison study looking at the phenotypic and genetic diversity of Phragmites australis populations in native and non-native ranges. The results have shown significant among- and within-population variation for all measured traits, except for leaf width. Invasive haplotypes showed the highest values for the characters that were studied suggesting differential functional traits between exotic and native populations.
A fluidic handling system has been designed in the laboratory for the project's water samples. Researchers plan to use aptamers for multiplex analyte detection and are currently testing different oligonucleotide primers specific to Escherichia coli, Aeromonas hydrophila, Salmonella spp., using PCR.
Traditional and standard methods to identify different contaminants (biological or chemical) in waters are slow, laborious, and can require specialized expertise. Hence, the rapid determination of water quality using more sensitive and reliable biosensor based approaches attains special importance. In view of deteriorating water quality in both Canada and India, and rather contradictory report on water quality status, the use of biosensor based approaches promise to lend considerable precision to understanding overall quality of water. Moreover, identification of water borne human pathogens through metagenomic studies and understanding of invasive plants as support surfaces of such pathogens are first attempts in this direction.
This project will aim to answer several key questions in this area, including: (1) To what extent does water quality deterioration influence human health indexes, (2) To what extent can gold nano particle based impedance devices amplify signal and replace polymerase chain reactions, (3) Can nanoparticles oxidize water-borne micro-organisms, can photosensitive nanocrystals oxidize toxins, (4) What is the extent to which invasive aquatic plans provide active surfaces for water borne pathogens, and (5) What is the efficiency of invasive species for sequestration of heavy metals and other toxic organic substances.

If I'm So Smart Where Did All My Money Go Review
I think a lot of people will like reading this book because it is told as a story and not like a traditional finance book. It had a good and logical flow to the information with real world application. It also provided the reader with ways to figure out the math easily for each individual. I recommend that everyone read this book, but I don't recommend all of the advice the author gives so take it for what it's worth.
Doug Warshauer gives plenty of solid financial advice like paying off debt and saving for cars but some of his advice is really out there. His math seems solid but I simply cannot get on board with not saving for retirement until I am in my 50s. Also I don't agree in using all my savings to pay off all debts right away. In these troubled economic times, one cannot afford to have no savings in case of job loss.
The information is worth reading and the worksheets and statistics are great to do and understand. I recommend reading this book but take it with a grain of salt.

Mumbai: JJ School of Art students risk life and limb at this hostel
How can creativity be birthed at such squalor? Twenty students of Sir JJ School of Art live in the constant fear that their public works department (PWD)-run hostel will cave in at any moment
The PWD-run hostel in Bandra for students of Sir JJ School of Art
How can creativity be birthed at such squalor? Twenty students of Sir JJ School of Art live in the constant fear that their public works department (PWD)-run hostel will cave in at any moment.
The hostel has been falling apart. Hack repairs alone have been undertaken, say inmates
The over 50-year-old hostel in Bandra's Kalanagar — meant for underprivileged outstation students — has been falling apart, complain inmates. Walls have developed cracks; some have peeled off. Ceiling slabs have fallen at some spots, and rickety windows barely do the job.
It has a capacity to house 120 students of Sir JJ School of Art, but many have fled at the mere sight of its pitiable condition; it currently has only 20 inmates. Accommodation at the hostel is pegged at R4,000 a year, excluding canteen charges.
Hack jobs
An inmate says that each time a problem with the building crops up, a hurried, shoddy job is undertaken. "For how long can the authorities rely on hack jobs? Are they waiting for a disaster before waking up to gravity of the issue?"
Another student alleges that there are "cracks everywhere in the building".
"No one has any idea when was the last time it was painted. Right outside the rooms, one can the patches where the ceiling has been held up by slabs. One can only pray that you're not under the ceiling when it caves. Rooms have been shut because there are such decrepit condition."
Students say they have raised the issue several times with the authorities concerned, but no solution has been offered.
Not our responsibility: JJ
Dr Rajiv Mishra, director of Directorate of Arts and principal of Sir JJ School of Art, said he was aware of the building's condition, but laid the blame at the PWD's doors.
"We do not maintain the hostel. Over one and a half months ago, we had submitted a report based on students' complains before the PWD and asked it to undertake repairs."
Ashish Kumar Singh, secretary of the PWD, was unavailable for comments despite several attempts.

"The Truth from my Chair" by Uduak Obong-Eren
Honorable Mention for College Prose
10:30 am was the time when the alarm chimed again for the fourth time after I had snoozed it several times earlier; I guess I was justified to sleep in a little more after a 23-hour flight from Lagos through Paris to California.
A mix of anxiety and excitement, of fear and hope flooded my mind; my adventure was about to begin. Yes, I thought of it as an adventure, leaving my country for an environment where I knew absolutely no one in search of knowledge. Many well-meaning individuals advised me to follow the safe route by choosing a university where many Nigerians attended, possibly in the UK where my fellow recipients of the Nigerian scholarship chose to study, but I chose to go against the grain. Some thought my decision was bold, others thought I was just being foolhardy. Whether my decision was a good one or not, I was going to find out. Still musing and managing these thoughts, I grabbed my tablet to check the directions to CMU campus (to Siri actually, as she was the only person I was in communication with).
As I walked to the train station, the adventure wasn't going bad, I thought to myself. But that changed in a few minutes as I got on the train and met a woman (of a different skin color) who stared at me intently like she was startled to see me there. I turned around with the hope that there was something behind me she wasn't pleased about, but I couldn't find any. As I walked in search of a seat on the train, I felt the stare follow me and it seemed to be echoing the words "What the heck are you doing here?" I eventually found a seat on the train which I quickly sank into. And though the stare continued, I felt a little at ease that the seat on the train at least accepted me regardless of my color. And that was my introduction to the reality of racism.
As I got on with life at CMU during my first few weeks, I had the challenge of finding an apartment to live in. Using the popular Craigslist, I had made a few contacts, however it didn't take me long to discover that whatever progress I had made always came to naught the moment I mentioned that I was an international student from Africa. So I thought up a new strategy: not to include any information about my race in future correspondence, and things did improve almost immediately. I remember returning from a showing with one landlord and I was entirely positive this was going to work. Walking into my hotel room, I got a text from him saying I was not qualified for the apartment. "Suddenly I am not qualified? Why am I not qualified? What did I have to do to prove I was qualified? Would I be qualified if I was from a different race?" I sent him text messages but got no response; slowly as I sank into my chair besides the dressing mirror, thoughts of despair filled my mind as I pondered why I wasn't qualified.
Fast forward a few weeks later, it was already 9 weeks into the semester and I was struggling with understanding some concepts in CMU's flagship course 15213. Being an online course, it was hard to know the other students taking the course; and I needed some form of group study with other classmates. A very helpful classmate offered to talk to one of her roommates who was taking the course (and who was part of a study group) about the possibility of joining their study group. I was elated and thankful that at last, I would get some help. Days passed and the next time I got a chance to talk with her after a class, she tried to put it a nice way but the message was clear – they didn't want me to be a part of the group (apparently they were all from a particular race and I wasn't). I smiled at her, thanked her for her efforts and slowly walked towards the chair just outside the classroom while battling to answer the questions that echoed in my mind: "Am I really not good enough? Do I really have anything to offer?" Thankfully, the chair found me good enough and I found comfort in its fluffy seats since it always accepted me without judging if I had anything to offer. As you rightly guessed, my relationship with the chair was steadily blossoming.
Happily, the spring semester rolled in quickly. It was a pretty difficult semester as I struggled to concentrate through challenges that almost terminated my studies. The challenges indeed impacted on my availability for classes and team projects but I tried to make sure the impact wasn't much. On this particular team in one of my courses, every other person on the team was from a particular race and I was the only person from a different race. That wasn't in anyway a problem because we worked together pretty well, or so I thought, until the day I stumbled on one of the team member's LinkedIn profile. I was shocked to see that though he had listed every other person on his profile as a team member on the project we all worked on. I wasn't listed. Needless to say, at this point, I was already torn between two choices – whether to accept these acts as a part of life knowing that it was always going to happen or to keep trying to understand the motivation behind these acts with the hope that things would get better. Whichever way I ended up choosing, one this was sure: every experience I faced increased my 'comfort' with my chair and made me gradually withdraw from people of other race. At least my chair didn't judge me and I didn't have to prove myself over and over again to it, or so I thought.
Alas! It was only a chair. It was only a chair, but a useful one. Moments of thinking from that chair brought me to realize that racism is often an outward manifestation of a deeper trend—our reaction to discomfort. As biologists would say, when humans are faced with a situation of discomfort their response is either fight or flight. I learned that not all humans are entirely racist, we just process discomfort differently – some "fight" it, seeing persons from a different race as an "enemy" and some "flight" it, withdrawing from others of different races. It indeed takes a higher human to rise above the basest instincts of the human soul to learn to live with another human being of a different race. As I squirmed in my chair processing these thoughts, I told myself the hard truth: I would equally be guilty if I allowed these situations make me withdraw from people of other races and limit myself to the comfort of my chair. So there I made the decision to take a walk from my chair. No, I wasn't breaking up with it. Rather, I was not going to allow it define me.
So I arose from the coziness of my chair and out of that "comfortable" mindset that I had to withdraw from people of other races. I arose to a new outlook on the world that strives to appreciate the beauty in people from a different race. Surely there have been times that I made a trip back to my chair but I am encouraged by the very beautiful relationships I have made since that decision; relationships with individuals who in the words of Martin Luther King, Jr., refused to judge me by the color of my skin but by the content of my character: an Indian lady who gifted me with a friendship so true; a Turkish professor who inspires me to be better academically; an American counselor who provides me sound counsel at critical moments in my life. They are all amazing people who, by reason of relating with, I have become a better person.
So my heart goes out to that freshman who just received a racist text message and to that sophomore who is facing rejection from his mates. You don't have to hide in the comfort of your chair, neither do you have to 'fight' back. You don't have to keep telling yourself that you are limited because of your skin color. Rise out of your chair and from any mindset that makes you think you are limited. No, you are not. Do not live to validate the stereotypes of what anyone thinks your race should be. Do not even try to prove them wrong or prove them right; your life is worth much more than trying to validate or not validate those stereotypes. There is so much you have to offer our world and every challenge you face just serves to make a better you. You are white and you are wonderful, you are black and you are bold, you are Asian and you are amazing, you are Indian and you are intelligent, you are Spanish and you are stunning. And no, these aren't stereotypes, these are just a bit of your awesomeness—you are the best of you anyone has seen. So get up out of that chair and live your dreams!

However, now that it seems that my cafe is going to come to fruition (hoping & praying-but it looks like if the seller takes the offer my dad and I talked about, we might have a cafe by next week!) ((It's not the one with the overbearing owners, either)) Oh-sorry, I got carried away with the asides there...so anyway, all of this time I've focused on what I'd serve, my concept and how much I'd charge. I hadn't really thought much about colors or dishes and so tonight I decided to take a break from all of the "serious" stuff and go search out paint samples and plates. (The place we're looking to buy only used paper plates...weird, I know.)
The whole point of this introduction is so that you won't think I'm sooo crazy when I say this:
I am in love with this cup & saucer pair.
I love its simple almost classic, almost trendy shape, it's size (not enormous but a little bigger than normal) and the way the saucer comes up higher than most. I even love that it's white. If I can afford to get them once a deal is struck, I am going to. There are, after all, only 15 seats max in the joint.
I found a few sets of dishes that I also liked-but I think that for these I might try to find used ones from a restaurant that went out of business. There are tons of listings on CL for used restaurant equipment, some of which is really a great steal. We'll see though-like I said, there aren't that many seats in this place, and from what I gather, most of the initial business will be take out to local businesses.
I also checked out their counters. The seller built a nice long counter that is in really great shape but it is God awful ugly and waaaaay too big. In fact, I'd love to get rid of it all together, cut it down to make a short counter for orders and stuff and put a few more tables in. I'd also put a long slender counter along the far wall so that people can sit and have a quick bite there, while still allowing a wheelchair to get by. I saw this and loved it:
It's dark brown and looks like marble, but it's not. I think to do this it would only cost a few hundred dollars. We'll see how much I have to play with after a deal is struck and that'll determine what I can and can't do. Obviously. There were matching tables too-all of this would be custom though, and that'll add up. I might find simple tables to add and do the counter in this only.
These are the glasses I saw:
The set above is cheaper and I don't like it as much. The one below is a tiny bit more, but it's more like what I'd want. Simple. Plain. Holds liquid. I've always liked taller thinner glasses.
And then there are the colors. As Lois would say, Oy vey! I'm a color freak and love almost all colors. My favorite color is a bold green and I would love to have one wall colored green. I'm not sure if it's too...outrageous. I have to go back to the store to use their virtual computer thingy. The one online does not have their newest collection, which is where most of the colors I like are from.
This is what I started out with (there were actually more...but I put those aside.).
The green on the left (below) is my first choice green for the accent wall. I've since eliminated the yellow from this batch. The other walls would probably end up being that darker brown.
Then there was this green. It's not quite as "me" and in photos it looks too minty. I hate mint green. But in person it looks OK...
I actually really love this combo-it doesn't look like it here but it's a dark green, a light green and a red. I love it b/c I've also always wanted a red accent wall. But when I did a mock up (these are "normal" paint colors) it ended up looking like an apple. But I'm going to revisit this one I think.
Then there's a more classic batch. Red accent, brown walls, lighter accents. I don't love it. It's too vanilla-even though it's red. I feel like I could walk into any cafe and see this.
I had a few other combinations but after looking at them after I categorized them I realized that I loved the colors together, but not necessarily on the walls of my cafe. I will, after all, be the only full time employee and will likely spend 12-14 hours there a day.
By the way...this is the original cafe I talked about this winter. It's near a town hall, churches and very close to a fire station. (I can watch the guys hosing off their trucks!) :)

I picked up a brochure on RL suede paint, and on their featured rooms, the paint looks so much lighter than the paint chip. My question for those of you who have used this paint, is that your experience that your wall looks lighter than the chip? Also, has anyone used any other painting techniques with this paint other than what RL recommends and what was your result? Thanks!

|The tune is the War of 1812 from the American point of view. The words in capitals are the names of ships.
Ye Parliament of England,
Ye Lords and Commons too,
Consider well what you're about,
What you're about to do.
For you're to war with Yankees,
And I'm sure you'll rue the day
You roused the Sons of Liberty
In North America!
You first confined our commerce,
And said our ships shan't trade,
You next impressed our seamen,
And used them as your slaves,
You then insulted Rodgers,
While plying o'er the main,
And had we not declared war,
You'd have done it o'er again.
You tho't our frigates were but few,
And Yankees could not fight,
Until brave HULL your GUERRIERE took
And banished her from your sight.
The WASP then took your FROLIC,
We'll nothing say to that;
The POICTIERS being of the line,
Of course she took her back.
The next, your MACEDONIAN,
No finer ship could swim,
Decatur took her gilt work off,
And then he sent her in.
The JAVA by a Yankee ship
Was sunk, you all must know;
The PEACOCK fine, in all her plume,
By Lawrence town did go.
Then next you sent your BOXER,
To box us all about,
We had an ENTERPRISING brig
That boxed your BOXER out;
She boxed her up to Portland,
And moored her off the town,
To show the sons of liberty
The BOXER of renown.
The next upon Lake Erie,
Where Perry had some fun,
You own he beat your naval force
And caused them for to run;
This was to you a sore defeat,
The like ne'er known before -
Your British squadron beat complete -
Some took, some run ashore.
There's Rodgers, in the PRESIDENT,
Will burn, sink, and destroy,
The CONGRESS, on the Brazil coast,
Your commerce will annoy;
The ESSEX, in the South Seas,
Will put out all your lights;
The flag she waves at her mast-head -
Free Trade and Sailor's Rights.

Donna at the Red Shoes Salon has been cutting my hair for a couple years and I could not be more pleased. In fact, I only live near her salon for a couple month out of the year, but I still wait until I am in town to get my hair cut! She hits the holy trifecta of a great cut, great price, and great experience.
When it comes to your hair cut, she is very open to your input but also honest about what she thinks would be best. I have made a few major hair decisions with her, such as getting bangs and going short, and both times I felt like we talked it through thoroughly and then she took the best approach that we had both agreed on. Since its a small salon in a small town, don't expect a big city experience- her services are very striped down and simple (i.e. she doesn't wash your hair or put in tons of products), but I don't think this affects the quality of the cut at all!
As far as the price, it couldn't get any better! She charges $15 for a basic hair cut and with tip I've never walked out of there paying more than $20! Okay, except for the time I bought a bottle of BioSilk... speaking of which, she carries salon items at prices way cheaper than I've seen them for elsewhere!
Finally, the actual experience of being in her salon is great. The building is adorable and her salon is decorated with beautiful antiques and, of course, red shoes! Her little waiting area is filled with a unique selection of magazines that include all the major news publications as well as literature magazines like The Sun. Her intelligent choices foreshadow what an intelligent woman and wonderful conversationalist Donna is- just about every time I have visited her we have talked politics during my cut. This may not be everyones cup of tea, but I certainly enjoy it!
The Red Shoes Salon is a unique and wonderful experience. In other cities, it's possible to get a great hair cut for a bad price or a bad haircut for a great price- at this salon, you can get a wonderful cut for a wonderful price!

APOCALYPSE NOW, 1979. Original linen backed German A1 (23 x 33") movie theater poster for sale and starring; Marlon Brando, Robert Duvall, Martin Sheen, Harrison Ford, Laurence Fishburne, Dennis Harper writer John Milius and director Francis Ford Coppola. This award winning film about the horror of the Vietnam war rapidly became a classic and won 2 oscars. This film is considered the best film ever made by John Milius and some of the quotes "I love the smell of Napalm in the morning" resonated as the hippi era was coming to a close. This film ironically embraced war and showed its bloody face to a population of people not yet desensitized. with so many haunting and memorable scenes underscored by a powerful story line and epic dialog; this film is nothing short of a masterpiece.
This poster is one of the rarest and most sought after styles for this film. It was painted by Bob Peak and its dark and menacing imagery is chilling. The original 1 sheets have wonderful imagery also, but this posters rarity and truly wonderful artwork makes it one of the finest specimens to own if you are a collector or fan of the film.
This particular German A1 movie poster released to theaters at the first release in 1979 is in fine, c8 condition. The fold lines show all the wear, which is still clearly visible as no touch-up work was performed following the linen backing. The linen was trimmed right up to the edge of the poster, but the backer did not trim any of the poster itself. We did not linen back this poster, but it has been nicely done.
Condition C8. For Sale $1195

The Advantages of Renting
When you rent, you don't have to buy! Why buy equipment for one-time or infrequent use? When you rent, you pay only a small charge for the time the item is in your possession.
When you rent, you don't have to keep it! Rent whatever you need, whenever you need it. When the job is complete, you don't have to store the equipment… you simply return it to your rental center.
When you rent it, you don't have to repair it! Renting saves maintenance headaches. Your rental center guarantees the working condition of all tools and equipment you need.
Advantage — Art Pancake!
When you rent it, you save valuable time! Why risk owning out-dated equipment that is slow and unwieldy compared to newer models? Rent modern equipment for fast, efficient performance.
When you rent it, you save effort! Your rental center always matches the right equipment to the job. Why work harder than you have to with equipment that is the wrong size or type?
When you rent it, you enjoy the best possible results! Your rental center is in business to service your needs – safely, conveniently and economically. Remember, renting makes the best affordable!

AppleCare is pretty great but expensive and doesn't cover everything in most cases. At our school we came up with a plan to speed up repairs and have a little more control over breaks.
Tag Archives: Student
Lock iPad to an App Natively from Settings
Wether you have a youngster who can't help hitting the Home button or just a child with a little ADD, this little tip can help you keep em on task. This can be done on a large scale via Meraki MDM but it can be a little time consuming and may be a little more than you need. For a small class to a single student this is a quick setup you can do to lock their iPad to a specific App.
Lets open up Settings – General – Accessibility. Scroll to the bottom to Guided Access.
Flip on Guided Access and enter a passcode only you know.
Apps In The Classroom – Evernote. Absolutely Essential.
Why use Evernote? Because even if your iPad is sacrificed to the molten lava of Pelé, you will never lose your notes. Open Evernote and your presented with all your notes sorted by latest entry or modification. Pull down on the little elephant tab to get the big picture.
You now see a whole plethora of options and areas to explore. Continue reading
Replace a student or staff iPad in 10 minutes or less.
With a school of 350+ iPads, there are going to be breaks. When one of our iPads is damaged we are quick to replace it. We started off with 5 spares to be swapped out so the student didn't miss anytime. As we are trying to go as paperless as possible and have as much school work done on the iPad as possible, downtime is bad for everyone. Now that I have exhausted our spares they are swapped for repaired iPads. We have a local repair shop replacing the screens.
This process used to take me quite a while when I was using Apple Configurator to help manage the lot but now just using iCloud and Meraki MDM, I have this down to just a few minutes handling the device.
I created a simple form that the student and teacher can fill out before bringing me the iPad that needs replacing.
Apps Outside the Classroom – AppsGoneFree – A Great Place of Discovery for Teachers.
There are thousands of apps that go on sale or free every day and there are plenty of apps that will tell you so. One app that puts that in to perspective a little bit is Apps Gone Free (free in the App Store). Everyday, you are presented with a short list of apps that have reduced their price to Free. Now that's not amazing or anything except for the fact that they have been tested and found to actually have some real value before being blindly added to the list.
Not everyday is there an educational app but its pretty close. I have found countless apps from here that I then share with the teachers that I think might benefit.
iPad Cart Guide – Managing Maintaining – App Distribution in iTunes
iPad Cart Management – How it's done right.
Here I'll show you how I maintain an iPad cart. It has 23 iPads in it. At one point I had them setup using only Apple Configurator as Apple suggests but I have found that after having to borrow iPads from the cart for other reasons and replacing them with iPads that were not originally part of the cart and the terrible way Configurator handles app licenses, I had to start using a combination of iTunes and Configurator. iTunes to load the software and Configurator to name them. Normally, you would only use Apple Configurator and install the app through it using a spreadsheet downloaded from your VPP account. See my post, VPP Apple Configurator & Multiple Carts or Locations | SchooliPads.
NOTE: I'm using a Mac with iTunes 11.0.2 and Configurator 1.2.1. This process should work for Windows but without Configurator, the fast wipe and naming of the iPads will have to be done individually.
This seems complicated the first time but after you do it once or twice it kinda makes sense, so here we go.
