ODARPU YATRA AGAIN

YSR Congress president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, who opposed the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh, plans to resume his 'Odarpu Yatra' (tour to console people) in Telangana and address a public meeting in Khammam district soon, sources said. A decision to this effect was taken at the Telangana district co-ordinators' review meeting chaired by Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy, sources said. "He plans to undertake his unfinished 'Odarpu Yatra' tour to all nine Telangana districts, except Khammam, which he has already visited," YSRCP spokesperson Gattu Ramachandra Rao told reporters here today. Dates and tour details would be announced shortly, he said, dismissing "propaganda" that the YSRCP had no base in the Telangana region. Jaganmohan Reddy plans to "console" about 250 families in the Telangana region, which would begin with a public meeting at Khammam, he said. Jaganmohan had originally undertaken his tour to console families of those who died of shock after the death of the late Y S Rajasekhara Reddy. His tour had faced stiff resistance from rival political parties and others in Telangana, due to the demand for separate statehood in the region. Since a decision has been taken on separate statehood for Telangana, the focus should now shift towards development and YSRCP is going ahead on those lines, the spokesperson said.

DEATH...TOUGH TO EXPLAIN FOR KIDS

Illustrating children's books is as challenging as working on books for adults as some images stay with us throughout life even if we may forget the story, says French author and illustrator Olivier Tallec. "Many think children's books are about inspiring stories but there’s a lot more to it. There are books which deal with sensitive issues like death, sexuality, loneliness coupled with humour," Tallec told PTI in an interview. "To illustrate such themes for children's books is very challenging because these concepts are difficult to explain. As an illustrator and writer, I have to be careful about what to say and how to say it to kids because they can be influenced easily," he said. In one of his books "The Scar", Tallec, through a series of illustrations captures the theme of loneliness through the eyes of a child. The story written by Charlotte Moundlic is about a little boy who wakes up to the news of his mother's deat...

B cell- RESPOSE KEY TO FIGHT DIABETES & GUM DESEASE

Modulation of one of the most important blood cells involved in the human immune response may effectively treat and prevent the symptoms of type 2 diabetes and periodontitis simultaneously, scientists say. Researchers have found that B cells, blood cells involved in the human immune response, promote inflammation and bone loss in type 2 diabetes-associated periodontal disease. These findings support the idea that treatments that manipulate the responses of B cells may treat or prevent this complication. "Our study identified common inflammatory mechanisms shared by type 2 diabetes and periodontal disease. It paves the way for the development of novel therapeutics which aim to simultaneously treat both type 2 diabetes and its complications," said Min Zhu, a researcher involved in the work from the department of microbiology at Boston University School of Medicine in Boston, Massachusetts. To make this discovery, scientists used an experimental model (mouse model) of periodo...
