Shri R. Ramanan, Mission Director, Atal Innovation Mission and Additional Secretary, NITI Aayog, Government of India, New Delhi graced the occasion as the Chief Guest of the ceremony. The Chief Guest in his address stated that “The need of the hour today in India is for citizens who will use their knowledge and learning to better their society. The need of the hour is for young graduates like to go out, inspire the world and make a difference. Looking for an opportunity to really benefit other people and delivering those benefits. Taking measured risks and winning more than losing. It means standing on your own feet, not worrying about what the boss thinks of you. Don’t just work hard, but get stuck in and look for improvement. Use any and every opportunity that presents itself to you. Each one is a gift to harness your potential and learn many new things. Utilize them well through them, learn to love and enjoy what you do! And ended the speech with a quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson, who says, The purpose of the life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.”
The Chief Guest thereupon gave the degree to each student. After the distribution of degrees the oath taking of the degree recipients was done. Finally the Graduation Ceremony was dissolved, continued with this was the playing of National Anthem.
The Academic procession moved back in the reverse order and the degree awardees followed at the back of the procession.
The ceremony was ended with a ray of hope and joy.

Sophie & I ran a 3-day wearable technology bootcamp using LilyPad Arduino for 11-13 year-olds at Aberystwyth for www.Technocamps.com - a project led by Swansea University in partnership with the Universities of Bangor, Aberystwyth and Glamorgan that inspires young people aged 11-19 to attend technology workshops on a range of computing-based topics.
I realize I don't travel often by plane, but I did not think that things had changed that much. This is an iPod vending machine at Jackson Hartsfield Airport in Atlanta, GA. Just swipe your card and you could purchase an iPod, noise cancelling headphones, or accessories. I also believe that the machine next to it allowed you to purchase music to actually listen to.
I figured I'd share it with people in case they're wondering about it as much as I do, so I posted it on the site as a morning post.
Newspaper is more likely to be seen shredded as packing material than to be read. And the once mighty candle has become a romantic symbol rather than a tool for working in the wee small hours of the night. Everything we touch must be changed and evolved and eventually discarded. Does anything remain unchanged? If there is anything that is constant, it must be the only truth.

Future communication technology Wireless communication is among technology’s biggest contributions to mankind. Wireless communication involves the transmission of information over a distance without help of wires, cables or any other forms of electrical conductors. The transmitted distance can be anywhere between a few meters (for example, a television’s remote control) and thousands of kilometres (for example, radio communication).

A drainage pond, landscaped for effect, Stephenson Way, Wavertree Technology Park. The pond lies to the south of Stephenson Way, the last part of the park to be developed, although a substantial extension northwards is now underway, the new extension has been titled an Innovation Park.
This southern quarter of the Technology Park lies south of the over-engineered* Stephenson Way Bridge, branching off from Dryden Road.
Wavertree Technology Park was established in 1983 with
major national companies Marconi, Sony and Barclays Bank being its first largest tenants. The park is occupied with major companies including Nutricia amongst its offices, laboratories and light industrial uses. With a community of small to medium-sized knowledge-intensive firms including specialists in mobile communications, medical devices, finance, and pharmaceutical distribution.

Wafa Garbout – VoTek: Wafa is a co-founder of VoTek, an online platform dedicated to promoting participatory democracy in Tunisia. VoTek aims to enable Tunisian citizens to report a problem or make a demand to the municipality they live in. Wafa explains that VoTek allows “users to pull up the map of Tunisia and choose which governorate and area they live in. If they think a certain area needs a public park for example, they can suggest or report that.” After enough votes, the issue will be raised to the municipality to look into it. Participatory democracy became enshrined in the new Tunisian constitution after the Revolution ensuring citizens are included in the decision-making process.
Wafa believes the Tomorrow’s Leaders program’s emphasis on engaging student in extra-curricular activities helped her a great deal in gaining the skills she needed to turn her idea into an action for positive impact in her community. The program which encourages civic engagement and leadership development through activities that go beyond the traditional classroom requires each student to present a final capstone project. Wafa and her team started working on VoTek during a hackathon “Hack4Democracy” with the International Foundation for Electoral Systems IFES Tunisia, and then developed it more to become her idea for the capstone project that won the second place. It was through one of the courses required by the program “Leadership in the Public and Private Sector” that Wafa refined the concept. Wafa affirms that “The course was great for developing my project management skills and helping me write a budget.” In line with her dedication to establishing participatory democracy in Tunisia, Wafa worked over the past summer with the Delegation of the European Union to Tunisia providing electoral and political analyses.

Medical imaging is a vital component of the health care system. As a medical imaging professional, the radiologic technologist (or radiographer) employs x-rays and other forms of energy to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of illness and injury. Our four-year program leads to a certificate of completion in Radiologic Technology and a Bachelor of Science Degree in Health Science. Students also may choose to specialize in Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), or Ultrasound (US) .

Another example of MIT's robotics work, this time its a robotic arm mounted on a caterpillar track body. Both can be pre-programmed or controlled on the fly. Work like this has been put to use in everything from bomb disposal robots to the Mars probes.
The third scheduled field trip of the year for PLSC167 "Understanding Delaware Agriculture" was a visit to a large agricultural farm equipment company, Hoober, Inc. Students learned about equipment sales, retail sales, equipment repair, customer service and precision ag as they relate to careers in the agriculture sector. Students drove a road track tractor guided by GPS to see first hand how the new technology worked. Special thanks to Brian Lam and Tad Adams (UDCANR 14) for their time in showing students and explaining their role with precision ag at Hoober. Inc.
