All glands that secrete their products into the oral cavity are called the salivary glands. There are two groups; the first is formed of numerous, small, mucosal or submucosal glands, with short excretory ducts. They are classified according to their location into labial, zygomatic, palatine and lingual. The second group is made up of large glands with longer excretory ducts. They are paired and symmetrical, distributed along the body and ramus of the mandible. This group includes the parotid, submandibular and sublingual glands. The principal function of the saliva is to protect the oral cavity, although it also has digestive functions (3)(6).


I am delighted to announce my involvement, alongside my Purple Reign Conference co-organiser Professor Mike Alleyne, in the upcoming Prince From Minneapolis symposium in April 2018.
Mike and I will act as consultants to the event which will investigate Prince's unique relation to Minneapolis and Minnesota and will explore what demographic, cultural, and economic conditions were in place for Prince to emerge as a musical genius and examine how was a new sound born from a small African American population in a largely white and segregated state.
Why did Prince stay in Minneapolis?
How did he reinvent the aesthetics and politics of blackness? How did he at the same time win over white and international audiences?
How did Minnesotans, both queer and straight, react to Prince's ambivalent black male sexuality?
How is Minneapolis represented in Purple Rain?
How do we interpret his spiritual explorations? What kind of utopia did Paisley Park embody?
What was Prince's mode of operation in the studio?
How did the Minneapolis sound affect hiphop, jazz, rock, and electronic dance music?
Why do music tourists flock to this city from Europe and Australia?
The Prince From Minneapolis team is an interdisciplinary team of scholars, mostly based at the University of Minnesota.

Andrew Burwick has more than 15 years of experience evaluating the implementation and costs of family support, early childhood, and child welfare programs and policies. In addition to conducting rigorous studies of human services, he supports clients in developing research and learning agendas and delivers evaluation technical assistance.
Burwick has substantial experience analyzing programmatic costs and benefits. He has designed and directed cost analyses of center-based early childhood education, early childhood home visiting, and interventions to address trauma among children and adults in the child welfare system. As principal investigator for the Rural Welfare-to-Work Strategies Demonstration Evaluation, funded by the Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) in the Administration for Children and Families, Burwick led implementation and benefit-cost analyses of an innovative life skills education program for hard-to-employ adults.
Burwick also has worked with government agencies and foundations to develop research agendas. He directed a project for OPRE to identify the knowledge base and research needs related to human services for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender populations, including youth and adults. For the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, he is contributing to an effort to develop an equity-focused research agenda on policies to support families with young children.
As an experienced provider of evaluation technical assistance, Burwick supports funders and service providers in specifying theories of change, logic models, and measures of program fidelity and outcomes. He currently assists state and county agencies that are developing and evaluating interventions intended to prevent homelessness among youth aging out of foster care.
Burwick has presented his work to a range of research, policy, and practitioner audiences and served on the steering committee of the Children's Bureau's Child Welfare Research and Evaluation Workgroup. He holds an M.P.A. from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University.
Research shows that the earliest years of life are a critical period of human development. Young children's earliest relationships and experiences have a strong influence on brain development and a child's future health and well-being.
This project builds on Mathematica's study of the Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP), and a complementary evaluation technical assistance project, to support evaluations of promising oregnancy prevention programs led by PREP grantees and develop curricula for underserved youth populations.
The goal of the project is to create an instrument to measure implementation and costs of providing ECE services in centers that serve children from birth to age 5. The project focuses on measuring each center's efforts to support quality ECE and the costs of operating the center.
Many low-income people—often families of color and rural families—lack access to programs that support children's health, development, and well-being.
A report, related issue brief, and research recommendation briefs look at LGBT populations' characteristics and interactions with human services and identify data gaps.

Indian court acquits top leaders of ruling Hindu right-wing party in the demolition of historic mosque
Demolition of the Babri Masjid in December 1992
An Indian court acquitted top leaders of the ruling BJP of any wrongdoing in the destruction of historic mosque in 1992.
Former Deputy Prime Minister LK Advani, and BJP leaders MM Joshi and Uma Bharti, had denied charges of inciting Hindu extremists to demolish the 16th Century Babri mosque in the town of Ayodhya.
The demolition sparked violence that killed some 2,000 people.
The destruction of the mosque pave way for the rise of the Hindu right-wing party.
In a verdict the court acquitted 32 of the 49 people charged – 17 had died while the case was under way. The court said there was insufficient evidence to prove the demolition had been planned.
Hindus believe the mosque was built over the birthplace of their deity Lord Ram.
Muslim groups and opposition parties criticised the acquittals.
The influential All India Muslim Personal Law Board, which represents Muslim social and political groups in India, said it would appeal against the ruling in the high court.
The controversial verdict comes nearly a year after another historic judgment over the site of the mosque. Last year, the Supreme Court gave the land to Hindus, ending a decades-long legal battle. It gave Muslims another plot of land in Ayodhya on which to construct a mosque.
In August, Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone for a Hindu temple at the site – a core promise made by his BJP and a hugely symbolic moment for its strident Hindu nationalist base.
These successive verdicts in the favour of Hindus are likely to add the feeling of discontent and marginalisation among India's 200-million Muslim minority.
On 6th December 1992:
Many right-wing Hindu groups organized religious processions and pledged to build a temple at the disputed site where the Babri mosque stood.
The groups had vowed that the gathering on that day in Ayodhya would be symbolic – there would be a religious ceremony, and no damage would be done to the mosque.
After speeches given by BJP and right-wing leaders crowds perhaps 150,000 strong, armed with shovels, hammers, iron rods and pick axes charged towards the outer cordon of police protecting the mosque, scrambled on top of the mosque's central dome and started hacking away at the mortar. Soon, the mosque was razed to the ground.
Within hours, Hindu-Muslim riots broke out in different parts of India. The demolition sparked violence that killed some 2,000 people.
The court interviewed nearly 850 witnesses and examined 7,000 documents and TV footage and photos of what happened on the day to help them frame charges against 49 people, mostly BJP leaders.
Despite credible evidence that the tearing down of the mosque had been planned, the court held no one guilty for the violence is testimony to how India's criminal justice system works.

ISS orbit was increased by 2 kilometers with the help of Progress M-21M cargo vehicle thrusters, - Mission Control Centre representatives reported.
ISS orbit is to be increased by 1,5 km with the help of Progress cargo vehicle thrusters docked with the station at night on March 13, - the spokesman for Rocket and space industry reports.
During previous 2 weeks cosmonauts and astronauts have been passing exams on manual docking, approaching and descending of Soyuz TMA-M spacecraft and practiced manual remote control mode. According to the program for space flight preparations main and back-up crews have to experience standard flight day.
The landing of Soyuz TMA-10M manned spacecraft with Oleg Kotov, Sergey Ryazansky (Roscosmos) and Michael Hopkins (NASA) onboard was shifted from March 12 to March 11. Tha place of lamding was also changed because of great amount of snow in Arkalyk region where descent module was initially planned to land.
