Dharmapuri MP Dr. Senthil Kumar in the Floor of Parliament said that the Public Distribution System in TN was introduced by Annadurai. PDS in Tamil Nadu was introduced in 1964 when Bhaktavachalam was CM. DMK came to power only in 1967
Niti Aayog report says TN has PDS since 1964. As always, DMK continues to take credit for every welfare measure implemented in the past. https://t.co/ht8JtE4EE6
Farm loans were waived off in 2006- Cooperative societies were not paid back in full as per their commitment to pay back. Only 20% paid back.
Electricity for farmers was introduced in 1984 and properly enacted in 2004.

Save Kattupalli?? From whom?
Yet another Flip Flop of DMK
Most print media including the Wire & News Minute had taken up the expansion of Adani’s Katupalli port.
The National Herald had also reported this with a political flavour. But vital details missing in all these.
The Kattupalli port received approval & began construction during the DMK Regime. Surprised to see questions posted by them now on the need of this port when chennai already has 2 ports. EIA submitted in 2008 by L&T and the port became operational in 2013 https://t.co/YQVsmdBE19
The EIA submitted in 2008 had clear mention of no fishing activity near the coastal areas.
The future expansion plan also was part of the initial proposal that was submitted.
Also find the proposed development plan. Now compare it with the initial proposal. No change at all.
See the biased reporting of The Wire.
As per the application for environmental clearance submitted by MIDPL in 2018, 1087 acres of sea area will be reclaimed by using the dredged sand but Wire reports it as 2000 acres.
https://t.co/ie7KR3J1tK
Total proposed area of expansion is 5238 Acres as per the report, Wire calls in 6111 acre master plan. Not sure where they got these information.
And the most important point to note in all these is MIDPL expansion proposal submitted by L&T, even before Adani acquired it.

"I lied about my basic beliefs in order to keep a prestigious job. Now that it will be zero-cost to me, I have a few things to say."
We know that elite institutions like the one Flier was in (partial) charge of rely on irrelevant status markers like private school education, whiteness, legacy, and ability to charm an old white guy at an interview.
Harvard's discriminatory policies are becoming increasingly well known, across the political spectrum (see, e.g., the recent lawsuit on discrimination against East Asian applications.)
It's refreshing to hear a senior administrator admits to personally opposing policies that attempt to remedy these basic flaws. These are flaws that harm his institution's ability to do cutting-edge research and to serve the public.
Harvard is being eclipsed by institutions that have different ideas about how to run a 21st Century institution. Stanford, for one; the UC system; the "public Ivys".
As a dean of a major academic institution, I could not have said this. But I will now. Requiring such statements in applications for appointments and promotions is an affront to academic freedom, and diminishes the true value of diversity, equity of inclusion by trivializing it. https://t.co/NfcI5VLODi

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.
https://t.co/FBfXhUrH5d
Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.
...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.
Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.

THREAD: 12 Things Everyone Should Know About IQ
1. IQ is one of the most heritable psychological traits – that is, individual differences in IQ are strongly associated with individual differences in genes (at least in fairly typical modern environments). https://t.co/3XxzW9bxLE
2. The heritability of IQ *increases* from childhood to adulthood. Meanwhile, the effect of the shared environment largely fades away. In other words, when it comes to IQ, nature becomes more important as we get older, nurture less. https://t.co/UqtS1lpw3n
3. IQ scores have been increasing for the last century or so, a phenomenon known as the Flynn effect. https://t.co/sCZvCst3hw (N ≈ 4 million)
(Note that the Flynn effect shows that IQ isn't 100% genetic; it doesn't show that it's 100% environmental.)
4. IQ predicts many important real world outcomes.
For example, though far from perfect, IQ is the single-best predictor of job performance we have – much better than Emotional Intelligence, the Big Five, Grit, etc. https://t.co/rKUgKDAAVx https://t.co/DWbVI8QSU3
5. Higher IQ is associated with a lower risk of death from most causes, including cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, most forms of cancer, homicide, suicide, and accident. https://t.co/PJjGNyeQRA (N = 728,160)
