Ram Sukumar started Indium Software as a small Quality Assurance (QA) firm in Chennai.
Early life
A graduate from Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani, Ram wanted to set up a space where he was culturally comfortable with his surroundings and also with the lifestyle he would be leading. One fine day, a mentor and advisor from IBM told Ram that software testing was a good bet for the future.
Indium Software
Initial setbacks to Indium in the early 2000s hailed along with the dot com bubble burst and 9/11 attacks shortly after. A lot of internet companies that the company was working with for software testing suddenly evaporated off the face of the internet that put the company into an existential crisis. Along with the help of a few angel customers the company caught back its stride until the Great Recession of 2007-2008. The tumultuous period taught Ram to protect his strongest performers. He states how it was important to insulate the workforce and keep strong communication as key to navigate the crisis effectively. Furthermore, he also mentions that tackling hurdles alongside customers can make it so that they are partners for life.

COVID-19’s universal effects were felt causing turbulent ripples down Indium's workforce- as more than 1,500 associates had to start working remotely from their homes. But the merger between a big data & analytics firm, Noah Data (also founded by Ram) helped ensure the business could stay afloat through the pandemic's adverse effects. As Indiumsoftware now offers Digital Engineering solutions with deep expertise in Application Engineering, Cloud Engineering, Data and Analytics, DevOps, Digital Assurance and Gaming. Ram states that $30 million revenue is the target for 2021. teX.ai, a text-analytical software and uphoriX, the all-in-one automated quality assurance platform that has integrated functional testing, performance testing, security testing, and compatibility testing into one. Indium's plan for the future are to invest heavily in research and development and develop more IPs in digital and QA by expanding business to the UK, Europe and APAC in the coming years.

S v Chitate is an important case in South African criminal law. As Loubser and Rabie point out in their review of the law on dolus eventualis,
although the element of recklessness and its variants have been emphasized frequently by our courts, it has very seldom, if ever, been of practical importance in the sense that dolus eventualis was explicitly found to be lacking on account of an absence of recklessness. It has been pointed out by certain commentators that Chitate appears to be the only such case.
In this case the court found subjective foresight to be present and stated that, in addition, it was necessary to show that the accused's attitude of mind was one of callous disregard for the consequences, so that possible death was regarded by him as irrelevant when weighed against the attainment of his immediate objective.
The victim died while undergoing an abortion. Because it was not shown that the incidence of fatal abortions in like circumstances was high, the court found that dolus eventualis was not proved. "However," write Loubser and Rabie, "it is arguable that a low incidence of fatalities in these circumstances could also justify the inference that the accused did not actually foresee death as a possible result, and lacked dolus eventualis for this reason."

Peter Nunn is a convicted Twitter troll from Bristol, England. In 2013 he sent Labour and Co-operative MP Stella Creasy abusive messages, calling her a "witch" and threatening her with rape. He was arrested under Section 127 of the Communications Act 2003 and found guilty of sending indecent, obscene or menacing messages following a trial at City of London Magistrates' Court in 2014. He was sentenced to 18 weeks' custody and the judge also imposed a restraining order banning him from any contact with Creasy or Caroline Criado Perez. Nunn abandoned an appeal against the conviction in 2015.
The Institute of Biomedical Engineering (BME) is an academic unit at the University of Toronto which provides graduate education and advance research in the field of biomedical engineering. Established in 1962 by Dr. Norman Moody under the moniker 'Institute of Biomedical Electronics', the Institute has taken on several other names in the past.
BME is home to research and teaching interests of the Faculties of Applied Science and Engineering, Dentistry, and Medicine at the University of Toronto. Located in the heart of the Toronto Discovery District, BME offers research ties with sister departments at University of Toronto, as well as researchers in the Hospital for Sick Children, University Health Network, Mount Sinai Hospital, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, the new Women's College Hospital, , Toronto Rehabilitation Institute, Bloorview Kids Rehab and MaRS Discovery District.
History
Founded in 1962 by Dr. Norman Moody, the Institute of Biomedical Engineering (BME) is one of the oldest biomedical engineering academic units in Canada. With a heavy emphasis on applying electrical engineering concept to solve biological problems, the Institute formed between a collaboration between the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto.
In 1999, the Institute of Biomedical Engineering (IBME) merged with the Centre for Biomaterials and the tissue engineering group in Chemical Engineering, to create the Institute of Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering (IBBME, 1999 - 2000). In addition to Medicine and Engineering, IBBME is also a part of the Faculty of Dentistry.
In the fall of 2001, with the help of funding from the Whitaker Foundation, the Institute launched the new Graduate Program in Biomedical Engineering.
In summer of 2020, the Institute of Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering changed its name to the Institute of Biomedical Engineering (BME).
Academics
The Institute of Biomedical Engineering hosts faculty members and students who conduct research in the topics of clinical engineering, cell & tissue engineering, and molecular engineering. BME offers Doctors of Philosophy (PhD), Masters of Science (MASc), Masters of Health Science (MHSc), and Masters of Engineering (MEng). Students enrolled in the PhD and the MASc programs are required to perform research in one of the three disciplines listed above. As of 2019, there are a total of 332 graduate students, half of whom were PhD students.
