South Sudan referendum : Drawing Boundaries ALL AFRESH...

Some 99% of South Sudanese voted to secede from the north, 
A total of 99.57 percent of those polled voted for independence, according to the referendum commission.
The poll was agreed as part of a 2005 peace deal to end two decades of war.
Final results from the 9-15 January vote, which Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir has said he will accept, are expected early next month.
If the result is confirmed, the new country is set to formally declare its independence on 9 July.
North and south Sudan have suffered decades of conflict driven by religious and ethnic divides.
Southern Sudan is one of the least developed areas in the world and many of its people have have long complained of mistreatment at the hands of the Khartoum government.
Tough negotiations remain on how to divide up economic resources between north and south - which has the bulk of oil.

Tri-Valley University shuts in US , 95% students are Indians.: (What Next..?)

Those enrolled at Tri-Valley University - where 95% of the students are reported to be Indian, largely from Andhra Pradesh - have lost their student visa status.

Most of the students have spent huge sums of money as fees, many through loans. Of the nearly 1,600 affected Indian students, a majority belong to Andhra Pradesh.  
 
It is mentioned in a complaint filed with a California court by the federal authorities that the University helped foreign nationals illegally acquire immigration status.

The university is said to have 1,555 students. As many as 95 per cent of these students are Indian nationals, the complaint said. 

Investigations by ICE found that while students were admitted to various residential and on-line courses of the university and on paper lived in California, but in reality they 'illegally' worked in various parts of the country as far as Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Texas.


During the course of the investigation ICE found that the university gave the residential address of its students in order to conceal that they did not live in California, said the court papers.

The fate of the university's 1,555 students, 95 per cent of whom are from India and mostly Andhra Pradesh(nearly 560students), remains unclear amid reports that some of them being questioned after raids by the US Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE) last week

Paul Cezanne - new line of Painting between 19th - 20th century

Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) was a French painter.
Cézanne can be said to form the bridge between late 19th century Impressionism and the early 20th century's new line of artistic enquiry, Cubism.

Cézanne's work demonstrates a mastery of design, colour, tone, composition and draftsmanship

The paintings convey Cézanne's intense study of his subjects, a searching gaze and a dogged struggle to deal with the complexity of human visual perception.


The line attributed to both Matisse and Picasso that Cézanne "is the father of us all" cannot be easily dismissed.
