Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Tuesday termed his Uttar Pradesh counterpart Yogi Adityanath's recent alleged disparaging remarks against the southern state as an "inappropriate" one made with political interests. While referring to the recent episode in the state Assembly, he said he has a view that it is not appropriate for a Chief Minister to compare two states and so he does not want to go deep into the details of the issue. "Kerala is far ahead in various sectors and the growth the state has achieved is unparalleled. His comments can be viewed only as an inappropriate one made with political interests," Vijayan told the state Assembly. In a video message to the electorate ahead of the UP Assembly polls earlier this month, Adityanath had warned them that the north Indian state could soon become a Kashmir, Bengal or Kerala if they commit any mistakes in the election. Hitting back at Adityanath, Vijayan, who is also a senior CPI(M) leader, had said if the north Indian state develops like Kerala, people will enjoy peace and better living conditions. If UP turns into Kerala as @myogiadityanath fears, it will enjoy the best education, health services, social welfare, living…

As we celebrate Black History month, let’s remember that the path to civil rights began long before the march to Selma.  It happened on city buses in 1955 in Montgomery Alabama and for decades before that on railroads across America. In the history of American transportation, there is one crucial intersection between railroads and civil rights:  the formation in 1925 of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car porters by A. Phillip Randolph.  This was the first predominantly African-American labor union in the U.S. Pullman cars It was in 1859 that George Pullman launched the first deluxe railroad sleeping cars bearing his name.  They were an instant hit, offering middle and upper-class passengers the comforts of home. All of the Pullman car conductors were white but the porters who tended to the passengers were Black.  Many of them were former slaves as Pullman theorized, they would be used to the subservient roles of lugging baggage, making up the sleeping berths and serving the white passengers’ every whim. After they retired for the night, passengers could place their shoes in a small compartment accessible from the corridor where the porters would retrieve and shine them while passengers slept. Long hours, low pay Pullman’s porters had to be on…

It would come down to the final minutes of the game as Douglas would take down Spanish Springs, 54-43. Going into halftime the game would be tied up, leaving fans on the edge of their seat at Carson high's Morse Burley Gym. Tigers were locked in second half. While focused on their defense they limited the Cougars to just three points in the third quarter, compared to their eight 3-pointeres in the first half. Ultimately it would be their defense that would put this to bed. Tigers senior Kasen Boggs would lead Douglas with 19 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists. "It's just amazing," said coach Corey Thacker. "The kids have put in the time, this group has put in time over the last four years, this senior group. Even last year. They practiced 75 times with no games.

Out of the Bubble Prof. Dan Blumberg, Ben Gurion University Vice President for Regional and Industrial Development, spoke to CTech about its place in the global fight for a better world James Spiro 10:5819.02.22 “It was a researcher who emigrated from the U.S. to Beer Sheva and he decided to deal with some of the water problems in the Negev,” explained Prof. Dan Blumberg when discussing the start of the Ben Gurion University 50 years ago. “One of our biggest problems is water scarcity,” he said, before explaining that that same man would go on to create desalination through reverse osmosis and drip irrigation. “Now if I take that 50 years later, and fast forward, we are now trying to impact the technologies that most of us have to deal with on a daily basis. And the most recent change in the world is communication… A lot of the work we do in cybersecurity is actually trying to help the common person who is using his cellphone day in and day out and transferring data over those phones to have a safe network.” Today, 50 years since that first invention by that researcher, Ben Gurion University has grown to 2,800…
