The document describes an alternative communication device called the Glabenator that is mounted on a user's forehead. It uses sensors to detect contractions of the frontalis and corrugator muscles above the eyebrows to allow communication through directional movements. Earlier prototypes had calibration challenges but accuracy improved over time. A field trial with 108 patients over 2 months showed the device works for conditions like ALS and cerebral palsy. The Glabenator received several awards and its applications are being explored further.
This document discusses India's grain crisis, caused by poor policies around production, procurement, storage, and distribution of grains. Key points:
1) Bumper harvests have led to phenomenal increases in wheat procurement but policies of subsidies and minimum support prices have distorted production incentives.
2) Grain storage infrastructure is inadequate, leading to large quantities of grain rotting each year even as food insecurity persists. Storage and distribution costs the government around 750 billion rupees annually.
3) The public distribution system is inefficient and leak-prone, with only around 40% of grains reaching households. Private traders have been largely displaced from the market.
The document recommends redesigning food policy to
The document discusses the history of Jammu and Kashmir's accession to India. It notes that while the accession was incomplete, the 1954 election in which Jammu and Kashmir ratified accession to India has been ignored. It argues that the region of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir is now a center of international terrorism and any solution to deal with terrorism should involve denying terrorists safe havens there.
The document discusses the history and context of Jammu & Kashmir. It notes that in 1947, Pakistan attacked J&K leading India to take the matter to the UN. The UN passed resolutions in 1948 and 1950 calling for a plebiscite to determine accession that was never implemented. It discusses the roots of unrest from the late 1980s onward and counters myths about the incomplete accession of J&K to India. It proposes a solution of fully integrating J&K into India by abolishing Article 370 and encouraging development.
