Centre urged to reassess its position on Keeladi
Declare site protected, says Ramadoss
by Staff ReporterPMK founder Dr. S. Ramadoss on Monday urged the Central government to reassess its position and declare Keeladi a ‘protected archaeological site’.
In a statement, he said Union Minister Prahlad Singh Patel had said in the Parliament that though the Central government had no idea of declaring Keeladi a protected archaelogical site, it was planning to open a museum and expand the site.
‘15,000 artefacts’
“It is easier to take over lands in the area by declaring it a protected archaeological site. The excavation is happening in a small area of the land in Keeladi. In the five-phase excavations, only 110 pits have been excavated. But around 15,000 artefacts have been obtained. There has been a lot of difference between various artefacts,” said Dr. Ramadoss.
H Ramadoss said the Keeladi excavations must be expanded and a extravagant museum should be built in the area.
Earlier on Wednesday, Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami and Ministers Vijayabaskar and M.C. Sampath met Dr. Ramadoss, who was admitted to a city hospital and inquired about his health.

'Iconic' Checkpoint Charlie soldier photos to be auctioned in Germany
by AFPGiant photos of the Allied soldiers who once patrolled Berlin that have been displayed at Checkpoint Charlie for years are being sold off by a German auction house next week.
The pictures were taken by photographer Frank Thiel in 1994, several years after the fall of the Berlin Wall and before British, French, Russian and US forces that had been stationed in Berlin since World War II were re-deployed.
They were installed at Checkpoint Charlie, a crossing point between East and West Berlin where soldiers from the rival sides in the Cold War would have stood.
It was the site of one of the tensest moments of the Cold War, when US and Soviet tanks faced off in 1961.
The photos – stark individual portraits of young soldiers – have themselves become a Berlin landmark.
Stefan Körner, art expert at the Grisebach auction house in Berlin which is selling the photos, said the images were "iconic" and could be popular with collectors or museums.
"It is a special joy to be showing this work on the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall," he said.

The 12 works, which include images of Russian soldiers still wearing Soviet uniforms, are being auctioned with a starting price of €90,000.
Germany celebrated the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9th.
Ahead of the celebrations, Berlin authorities banned actors who stand at Checkpoint Charlie in military uniforms pretending to be soldiers for tourists.
The ban came after plainclothes police found that tourists were being pressured to offer a "donation".
Thiel's photos will remain as a visual reminder of the Cold War history of the once-divided city.

The Mathematica class in Tycho provides a shell for interacting with Mathematica. Currently, this only works if Tycho is running with Ptolemy (see Running Tycho), and Ptolemy has been compiled to work with Mathematica. The Mathematica class is derived from the TclShell class, and therefore inherits all of its features. In particular, the mechanisms for scrolling through and editing command histories are fully supported. In addition, Mathematica data can be accessed from Tcl or Ptolemy using ptcl commands. See the ptcl documentation.

Impressive Profile of Ngina Kenyatta's Boss
by Emmanuel GithukuNgina Kenyatta, the daughter of President Kenyatta is a director in the family foundation- The Kenyatta Trust.
Founded by the head of state, the organisation helps bright and vulnerable students who are beneficiaries of its high school scholarship program and supports the same students through university and other tertiary institutions.
A spot check on the foundation's website reveals that Ngina is answerable to one Mwende Mbevi Muthama who is the executive director and is in charge of overseeing all operational and administrative functions.
According to her LinkedIn profile, Mwende attended Daystar University between 1992 and 1996 where she graduated with a bachelor's degree in communications and community development. She is also trained in emotional intelligence and coaching.
Mwende has a diploma in counselling psychology from Amani Counselling Centre which helps her efficiently execute her mandate in offering mentorship to the trust's beneficiaries.
Mwende, in 2016, acquired a certificate in corporate governance to better run the organisation.
At The Kenyatta Trust, Mwende has two members of the first family working directly under her- Ngina and Nyokabi Kenyatta Muthama who is the head of state's sister.
"The Kenyatta Trusts’ priorities from 2014-2019 will focus on areas of education, mentorship, and training of young men and women to serve in the public service sector, community transformation and empowerment and, student welfare.
"The Kenyatta Trusts’ directors and management are committed to more youth in Kenya being empowered and transformed into citizens of change, " Mwende was quoted by the organisation.
Apart from the foundation, she also works as the marketing director for Manda Orchids, the largest of its kind in East and Central Africa according to its website.
Before her appointment by the Kenyatta's, she worked as a volunteer at the Ahadi Trust, an organisation known for fighting jigger infestation in the community.
