It's very heartening to see the media turn up in huge numbers and try to support us

Amid the furore generated by Virat Kohli's abusive behaviour with an Indian journalist, off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin tried to defuse the tension by lauding the fourth estate for its support and for taking cricket back to the country.

Although Ashwin refrained from making any comments on the 'Virat Kohli abuse episode' but it did look like he tried his best in his damage control act.

"Media here are here to support us. It's very heartening to see the media turn up in huge numbers and try to support us. But I mean, this is my take on it. I think the media has a responsible way of taking cricket back home in a responsible fashion, taking cricket to the public in the way it needs to be taken," Ashwin said answering a specific question on what's his take on the media in general.

Should BCCI censure Virat Kohli?

The Centers for Disease Control reports that suicide is responsible for more than 40,000 deaths each year. It is also one of the leading causes of deaths among teens.

Now, one social media giant is stepping in to help prevent self-inflicted deaths.

Social media is often seen as a culprit in the suicide epidemic among young people.

Sheryl Moore told KCCI her son was tormented online for being gay and bi-racial. In 2013, 16-year-old AJ Betts took his own life.

"Why couldn't the people who picked on AJ see this? That he was a person, that he was my baby. He was my child, Moore said.

Now, the very site AJ faced recurring bullying is launching a number of online options to help prevent suicidal behavior.

Facebook now lets users send messages to a friend who may be showing signs of depression. Users can also connect with a mental health expert for advice.

Facebook staffers will review the reported post and reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.

"I appreciate that they're at least putting an effort into trying to do something about this and certainly notifying concerned others when the person is posting things that might be a concern. I don't see that that's likely to be of harm and it's likely to be helpful in some cases, said Jeff Kramer, of Eyerly Ball Community Mental Health.

Flow Control magazine is celebrating 20 years as the leading source for technical information on fluid handling systems design, operation and maintenance. Since its first issue in 1995, Flow Control has been the only magazine solely dedicated to the industrial fluid handling industry.

When Flow Control magazine debuted in the mid-90s it was a game-changer, embraced immediately by readers and advertisers hungry for a resource dedicated to solutions for fluid movement, measurement and containment within the process industries, said Flow Control Publisher, Michael Christian. As we enter our third decade, the growth and innovation of the Flow Control brand continues.

Under the editorial leadership of director of content Matt Migliore for the past decade, Flow Control has earned 20 publishing industry awards since 2006, establishing itself as a consistent top performer in the industrial engineering trade journal space.

Flow Control has leveraged its many years of experience to establish a unique niche and reputation for providing high-quality information for technical professionals involved with designing operating and maintaining fluid handling systems in a wide range of industries, Migliore said.

As the Internet took force in the formative years of the magazine, Flow Control evolved and adapted its editorial reach beyond the printed word with its popular website at FlowControlNetwork.com. Today, this niche site includes all the specialized content one would expect from Flow Control, with sponsored application and technology portals, a FlowTube video section, FlowStream blog, white papers, polls, event listings, career opportunities, and more. Coupled with a range of e-newsletters and e-media tools, Flow Control has firmly positioned itself for success in the digital age.

Flow Control is now part of the newly formed Process/Flow Network, a group of business-to-business magazines with a shared focus on industrial processing industries, published by Grand View Media Group. In 2015, a special OEM/System Integrator Supplement will publish three times, and special sections on Pumps, Bearings & Seals; Oil & Gas; Valves & Actuators; Level, Temperature & Pressure Measurement; and Water & Wastewater will be included within the regular print editions of Flow Control.

We look forward to continuing to expand our focused content offerings and digital platform for our readers and advertisers in the process/flow industries, Migliore said. Thank you to everyone who has helped Flow Control get to where it is today and those who will see us through another 20 years of success.
