At Bais Yaakov, a love for Torah and Mitzvos, as well as Derech Eretz and consideration for others, is taught in a warm and ruach filled environment by a staff of excellent Moros and Teachers.
Middle School is the crucial bridge for impressionable young girls, as they transition between elementary and high school. Our Moros and Teachers are experienced and caring educators who make sure to reach each student on their own level and make the most of these critical years of emotional, social and spiritual growth.
Our curriculum focuses on critical thinking and intellectual development, as students transition from a single-teacher classroom to a departmental program. Through sixth, seventh and eighth grades textual skills are developed in Rashi and Meforshim, first reading and understanding, then interpreting on their own.
Our students excel on their own merit as well, in statewide academic competitions and recently as finalists in state and national essay contests, including the Kaplun Foundation Essay Contest and the Michigan Farm Bureau Insurance Essay Contest.
Middos, school spirit and wide ranging concepts are taught through division wide programs throughout the year that incorporate games, songs and projects to get everyone involved. Our own Eighth graders lead committees for events and chesed programs that include all students throughout the Middle School.
Bais Yaakov Middle School's goal is to provide our students with an excellent academic, spiritual and emotional education and guidance as our students mature from Elementary to High School.

1 October-16 December 2014 | Register for this course (page opens in new window)Instructor: Dr. Felisa Tibbitts
This e-learning course introduces staff members of (international) development agencies and NGOs to rights-based programming. A human rights-based approach (HRBA) is a conceptual framework for the process of human development that is normatively based on international human rights standards and operationally directed to promoting and protecting human rights. Essentially, a human rights-based approach integrates the norms, standards and principles of the international human rights system into the plans, policies and processes of programme development.
Participants will deepen their knowledge about project and programme development from a human rights perspective and learn how to apply the principles of equity, empowerment, participation and accountability to various phases of project planning and implementation. Participants will also gain sensitivity to how programs can integrate non-discriminatory practice and give attention to vulnerable groups. The course will focus on practical tools for human rights situation assessment, programme planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation within the rights-based conceptual framework.
The course involves approximately 50 hours of reading, on-line working groups, interaction with students and instructors/facilitators, webinars and assignments, and is offered over an 11-week period. The course is based on a participatory, active learning approach, with an emphasis on critical reflection and peer-to-peer learning. The course instructor will provide individualised feedback where appropriate. Participants will do the required readings, prepare interim and final assignments and participate in group discussions. The maximum number of course participants is 25. Students who successfully complete the course will receive a Certificate of Participation. It is also possible to be an auditor of the course.

Top Sections of our Online Gambling Guide
Determine what gambling sites online is the best is based on one's perception. The act of finding a good site is totally subjective and depends upon the desires of the gambler. You will find that Internet casino reviews online are helpful in locating some of the best online casinos on offer today. Follow the smart players and game at a place with a long history of gambling online, particularly those established in the 1990s. Find out about the history of different casinos, the type of customer support offered, and learn about casinos that have been in existence since the 1990s. You will discover some top casinos in the Isle of Man and England.
Guides for free gambling do not exist on the Internet; rather sites exist offering information on real money rewards and limitations. You can play on the Internet with free casino cash and there are many offers at online casinos. You don't have to play with real cash right away. You can find sites offering free cash, free bingo cards, free numbers of spins or slots plays, free hour of play offers, and more. You can even get free specified slots play too. These offers are used to draw in new members to online casinos.
Some poker offering casinos will allow you to play poker for a monthly fee that is fixed. This also allows the player to utilize any games the site has to offer. You will want to use casino games that do not have a buy in amount or a fee that is required.
You can get money to gamble with for free from a casino that offers free cash for playing. You can get free games, loyalty cash, spins for free, and different types of cash bonuses too. Play money games are another type of free gambling money offered and many high roller casinos offer this type of game play along with casinos offering slot machines for enjoyment. Casinos offer gambling money for free so that the player can sample game play at the virtual tables: the casinos are making a smart decision since it brings in more interested players.
Gamblers can take advantage of mobile gaming for free; this is done with a wireless device or cell phone. The chief difference between a mobile gaming site and a casino site is that mobile gambling for free is offered with limited gaming diversity. Slots In The UK are also very limited in mobile gaming offers. The average mobile gaming offer with free mobile gaming has between 12 to 14 slots and games for players to enjoy.
Play at UK bingo for big jackpots and great chat games. Bingo sites offer online bingo for free just as casinos offer free gaming. You can get free cards for bingo games. You can use the cards to sample the sites online, and if you are interested you can then become a member. When you take advantage of free bingo play online, you can stay on the site and begin playing for real cash when you are ready. Loyalty programs include the offering of free bingo game cards as well. This allows the site to reward bingo players for returning to the site repeatedly and playing bingo. You might get free cards for making a specified number of deposits on the site too.
Free online poker are games that are identified as freerolls; this can mean that you get free games so you can check out the site's offerings. You can also take advantage of some of the play money games online too; this allows you to master poker playing rules without having to gamble your money. Sometimes you will see tournaments that are free as well; players can play and register without financial risk or obligation.
Gambling bonuses online are often offered in percentages. These percentages can vary from one site offering to another. The average bonus might be 100 percent of your initial deposit or four to five times your first deposit. You get high bonus offers because casinos are trying to attract your business and keep it. You can bonuses that include birthday bonuses, special day deposit bonuses, loyalty bonuses, referral bonuses, reload bonuses and more.
Online Casino
An online casino consists of computer casino games. Online casino players log on to the internet where they can access a variety of games. A computer and internet connection are the two essentials of accessing an online casino.Read more...
Tasty Bingo Review
People become members of online bingo sites for various reasons. Some for the camaraderie and friendships that develop between members, some for the bonuses and prizes and yet others for the excitement and thrill of the chase. All share one common passion though, and that is bingo. Read more...
Safe gambling sites
Most gambling sites are safe, but always make sure that you are playing in a safe environment. Check out the company website to be sure that you are playing at a site that plays by the rules. After Black Friday a lot of players experienced the consequences of playing at a "black hat" site and most still have plenty of dollars frozen on their FTP or AP account. If you play casino games or Texas Holdem poker, we recommend well known white hat brands such as bwin.com or partypoker.com. Good luck!

Lives Remembered: Sir Kenneth Dover
. . . . Kenneth Dover was an extraordinarily gifted teacher. His classes on Thucydides, for example, brought his own painstaking scholarship to his students with that rare ability that invited them to share his interest and excitement. I remember the alarm with which we were told to use the French edition "as the only decent one around just now" (his own had not yet been completed); it was a toss-up which created more of a headache for the first-year undergraduate: the French notes or the Greek original . . . .There is another brief entry in Lives Remembered earlier this week, and The Sunday Times commented briefly.
Also this week, a full obituary in the Independent:
Professor Sir Kenneth Dover: Hellenist best known for his work on Greek homosexuality and for two controversial presidencies
Professor Sir Kenneth Dover was the foremost Hellenist of his generation, a skilled and authoritative interpreter of almost all the multifarious genres of ancient Greek literature. Somewhat to his regret he was probably most widely known as a disarmingly frank pioneer historian of Greek male same-sex gendering and sexuality, but he should better be remembered, and his work long revisited, as a quite formidable exponent of a unique combination of precise philological mastery with broader historical, sociological, and aesthetic exegesis, both of major canonical texts and of Greek (mainly Athenian) popular thought and morality. His career of high academic office-holding was attended by some considerable notoriety as well as renown . . . .

Fundamental to the mission of Middle College-Early College High Schools is the belief that students who are not traditionally served by college — those who are poor, members of minorities, English language learners, academically unprepared, unmotivated or unchallenged — are capable of earning college degrees and even beginning college study while still in high school.
To accomplish this, two things are needed: first, we need to raise expectations and challenge students with stimulating, engaging and thought provoking instruction: and second, these higher expectations must be coupled with comprehensive student support that addresses the academic, emotional and social needs of at-risk students. We call such a program "Wrap Around Support."
Common characteristics:
- Student support is not incidental, but embedded into the school. Advisories, early college seminars or after-school tutoring/mentoring are a required part of a student's schedule.
- The effort involves all the adults in the school, and is not the sole responsibility of a school counselor or a few teachers. Turning at-risk youngsters into college completers requires the efforts of everyone: teachers, administrators, community and college personnel, and parents.
- A comprehensive support system addresses the full array of student academic, social and emotional needs. Students at MC-EC schools are well cared for by the adults who take full responsibility for their students' success and well being.
Common structures:
- Academic support structures for students enrolled in both high school and college classes may include credit retrieval programs, mentoring and tutoring and individualized 4- and 5-year learning plans that are provided by the high school staff, college remediation centers and high school and college student and faculty tutors and mentors.
- Social-emotional support of students may include teacher-led advisories, early college seminars, club periods and community service programs.
- A school counselor and other professionals provide emotional support, community outreach for additional services, and the coordination of student support programs
- School counselors provide professional development outreach, nurturing, and enhancing the capacity of teachers as they expand their role as counselors or advisors.
- An early college seminar or "Introduction to College" class provides regular academic support for students in college classes, introduces them to the protocols of college life, monitors their progress and helps them with college applications as they make the transition to full-time college students.

Top-quality classic Danish modern layered pendant lamp by Form-Light
This stunning multilayered pendant light fixture is an original and rarely seen Danish Form-Light lamp, larger and more substantial than most Form-Lights and other lamps in this style, and considerably superior in quality to anything produced today. Made from ivory white powder-coated steel, the multiple layers and beautifully graduated design are not only a masterclass in aesthetics and proportion but also allow for completely glare-free illumination while ensuring that light is directed effectively both vertically and horizontally. With a diameter of 47cm and weighing in at a hefty 3.6 kg, this is a lamp that will create a significant focal point in any environment and certainly requires professional installation as it will need to be attached securely to a joist (fixings not included). The lamp retains its original Form-Light label and is in superb condition with barely any sign of previous use. It takes a standard E27 Edison screw fitting bulb max 60w (not supplied).

Maegan's birthday trip to Las Vegas
I wanted to do a little solo brainstorming on a trip I'd taken over a year ago, just to see what might come up. I focused on my solo road trip from The Berkshires in Massachusetts to South Carolina.
The main thing I realized, which I'd sort of forgotten, was that I did the entire road trip without a GPS unit. This was such an amazing experience. Even though the trip was nearly 5 years ago, GPS car units and cell phones were the norm, and at the time I didn't really go anywhere without GPS. I don't know why I felt so compelled to try it out, but I thought it would be a worthwhile experience.
A few of the not-so-great things...It required a lot more stopping to see where I was and where I was headed, and I hadn't factored in that extra time. This meant I was always feeling a little behind. I was driving through some of the beautiful New England area and wanting to pull over for pictures and to just take it all in, but I also wanted to try to get to my destination by a certain time. I also probably wasn't the safest driver in the world, and I can think of more than one time where I should have pulled over to look at the map but instead tried to balance it on my lap, looking down at it, then up at the road, swerving over those two yellow lines in front me. I am so lucky I didn't have an accident.
A few of the great things...I knew where I was, every step of the way. With GPS, I just turn my mind off to where I am. I don't know the names of streets, or sometimes even the towns I pass through. I'm just driving according to the nice woman's directions. But without a GPS I really felt like I was getting to know the roads and side streets, that I was having a much more personal experience with the land. It was incredibly rewarding.
Although I've done a bucket list before of locations and destinations I'd like to go to, I decided to create a bucket list of experiences I'd like to have.
* See the Chernobyl disaster site in Ukraine
* Visit my (great-?) great-grandfather's homeland, Poland, and find any distant relatives
* Hike through the Grand Canyon
* Visit the pyramids of Egypt
* Float in the Dead Sea
* Eat pasta in a small rural town in Italy
* Ride in a gondola in Venice
* Experience the midnight sun in Iceland
* Eat falafel in Greece
* Camp in the Black Forest in Germany
* Tour St. Basil's Cathedral
* Experience a Christmas Market in Austria
* Travel internationally without any baggage at all (just my purse)
* Take a tour of Hobbiton
* Swim somewhere internationally where the water is clear
* Snorkel the Great Barrier Reef
* Visit family in Alaska
* SXSW in Austin, TX
* AfrikaBurn
* Cross the border of Mexico with a car
* Tour the salt flats in Bolivia
I really enjoy photography, and whenever I travel I always like to find a good view. It'd be great to create posts that share some of the best and most-Instagram-worthy spots in certain destinations I've been.
I am a mini-expert on traveling off the beaten path. Some things I wrote down:
traveling like a local
slow travel
connecting through social media
not in travel guides
taking public transit
avoiding hotels
I travel because, honestly, sometimes I'm scared to fall into a routine. The idea of life being the same, day in and day out, frightens me, and I would much rather have memorable experiences all over the world than grow roots somewhere and regret it.

A full list of suggested projects statewide is at the In Depth blog
State's economic recovery Web site
Gov. David Paterson's economic recovery cabinet has released more of New Yorkers' ideas for spending federal economic stimulus money. So far, there are 18,000 ideas worth at least $100 billion. They are competing for about $4 billion.
Everyone who submitted an idea should hear from state agencies within the next few weeks, according to the state's Web site.
The proposals range from the practical (roads and library roof repairs) to the radical (a cannabis manufacturing facility). The sales pitches highlight the potential for saving the environment, improving public health and making jobs.Some ideas:
OCCRA: $1.2 million
The Onondaga County Resource Recovery Agency proposes a 13-acre food waste composting facility to process at least 10,000 tons of institutional and commercial food waste every year. The new composting place would be environmentally sound, serve as a model for other municipalities and generate about 36,000 cubic yards of compost each year. The soil could be used on area construction projects to reduce erosion, prevent pollution and control storm water runoff, the proposal says.
Onondaga Aquatics Center: $10 million
The DeWitt Swim Club proposes building an Olympic-sized pool with balcony seating for 875 people, a diving well, two scoreboards and maybe a dry exercise area. It could be used for swimming competitions, lessons, water therapy, aerobics, lap swimming, water polo, scuba diving, party rentals, and firefighter and lifeguard training. The club proposes the pool would help the economy by drawing visitors to new hotels and restaurants, reducing health-care costs through exercise, creating jobs and increasing property values.
Naef Glass Recycling: $5 million
The recycler wants to process glass that cannot be turned back into bottles. The company intends to use solar power and create up to 30 jobs.
Open space on Skaneateles Lake: $1.5 million
The town of Skaneateles proposes a 100 acre-park, wildlife refuge and recreational area on the east side of the lake.
Medical Cannabis Manufacturing: $500,000
A Rochester man proposes a medical cannabis indoor hydroponic farm with distribution centers in Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and New York.

I'm not sure how many of you grew up reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle but I know I loved it when I was a kid. Not so much for the words but for the beautiful illustrations. I found this on YouTube today:

Are you listening?
Fans come in all forms. They can love and hate. For example I'm a fan of the New England Patriots, yet I hate the New York Jets. And the more successful the Jets are, the more I hate them…and the more I talk about them…and the more interested I am in what they are doing. Putting this observation into writing has brought me to the horrifying realization that I'm a Jets fan. An anti-fan, yet a fan nonetheless.
Fans identify with you, your message and what your organization stands for. Because fans are so emotionally involved, if you disappoint, they'll turn on you with brutal honesty. Just remember: only your friends (fans?) will tell you that you have bad breath.
So, are you paying attention?
Are you tapping into these fanversations through free tools like search.twitter.com, Google Alerts, Google Blog Search, Technorati or Google News, all which notify you whenever a fan talks about your company, brand, products or services? And rather than cramming these important results into your overcrowded email inbox, are you subscribing to them via RSS?
Are you gathering valuable insights, ideas, and attitudes from your fans without forcing them to complete yet another self-serving customer satisfaction survey? Are you visiting your company's fan sites, which are either built upon privately-owned domains or publicly-available third-party platforms such as Blogger, Facebook, MySpace, or Ning? Do you check photo-sharing sites such as Flickr, or video-sharing sites such as YouTube, Viddler, Vimeo or mDialog for examples of fans using, describing, praising or belly-aching about your products?
Can you get over yourself and let fans describe your products and services in their terms as opposed to regurgitating your pithy little marketing messages? Will you let them bastardize your products through innovative uses like dropping mint candies into your soft drink product to initiate the soda pop pyrotechnics of nucleation? Or, are you just waiting to swoop in like a storm trooper with legal guns a blazin'?
Does it bother you that fans don't care about your mission statement? Does your blood pressure rise when you realize that they don't care how much "value" you can add, how many "resources" you can leverage, or if your CEO can walk on water? Can you live with the fact that fans simply want your products or services to work well: to eliminate their pain, increase their happiness, make them healthier, or just get them through the day?
And can you listen…I mean REALLY listen?
Listen to your fanversations. You just might learn something.

Posted on August 13, 2012, Phil Hornshaw Steam Community Update to Feature Player Screens, Videos
Valve is rolling out new features for Steam that focus on community involvement, screenshots, videos, and game discussions in an effort to make it easier for players to connect over their favorite games.
Over the next three days, update to Steam are being rolled out to focus on the new features. Today's update brings "Game Hubs" to each title in the Steam catalog, where players can see the most popular videos, Steam Workshop content, screenshots and discussions created by other players.
All the content is also player-curated by default, because Game Hubs aggregate the most popular, well-rated content created by the community. That means you'll be seeing the things that other people like, and the things that you like have the potential to get elevated as well.
You can get more information on Steam's new features from steamcommunity.com.


text: CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — The Citadel's internal investigation into the handling of a complaint about a former camp counselor who molested boys could be released early next month. WCIV reports (http://bit.ly/Zi6DcX) that special counsel Joe McCulloch says the report is nearing completion and its final version in early April will include recommendations for policy changes. The investigation centers on how the college handled the complaint about former camp counselor and Citadel graduate Skip ReVille. The school looked into the complaint but never contacted police. ReVille was sentenced in June to 50 years in prison after pleading guilty to 22 abuse counts.

Bhutan has received many ancient names such as Lho Mon (southern land of darkness), Lho Tshenden jong (southern land of cypress), Lhojong Menjong (southern land of medicinal herbs), Lhomen Khazhi ( southern land of four approaches). All these names were given by Tibetans.
Well, then what does BHUTAN Mean? The name Bhutan actually is derived from the Sanskrit word BHU-UTTAN meaning highland which is from Indian point of view. There is another name from Tibetan point of view which is BHOTS-ANT meaning end of Tibet or Tail of Tibet. However, today to the ouside world the country is known as BHUTAN and people as BHUTANESE.
Where does the word THUNDER DRAGON fit in? From 17th century our country came to be known as DRUK YUL meaning THE LAND OF THUNDER DRAGON, a name derived from the Drukpa Kagyu School,one of the sub school of Kagyue Tradition. The founder of Drukpa Kagyue School, Tshanpajarey named his school Drukpa after hearing 9 roaring sound of dragon in the sky.
Archeological artifacts reveal that Bhutan was inhabited 4000 years ago and ancient stone implements unearthed indicate settlements in Bhutan dating back to 2000-1500 BC. However, Bhutan's early history remains rather sketchy. Whatever was recorded was done in scriptures and was destroyed by fire and other natural disasters. Notwithstanding, a few records exist and from the available Namthars(life stories of great people or hagiography) and artifacts from ancent monasteries , the prehistoric era of Bhutan can be traced back to 500/600 AD. Further, reports and personal diaries of Portuguese Christian missionaries, British explorers and, political officers in the early 17th century contributed a lot.
Many early inhabitants of Bhutan were followers of Bon, the animistic tradition prevalent throughout the Himalayan region before the arrival of Buddhism. Buddhism was first introduced to Bhutan in the 8th century by Guru Padmasambhava,a tantric master. He visited Bumthang (central Bhutan) first and later flew to Taktsang in Paro riding a tigress. In fact, that's how the most spectacular Taktsang Monastery came to be called the Tiger's Nest.
Most Bhutanese historians, however, give Lama Phajo Drukgom Shigpo (1184–1251) the credit of establishing the Bhutanese form of Buddhism – the Drukpa Kagyu School. Lama Drukpa Kunley, the Divine Madman, visited Bhutan in the 13th century and established Chimme Lhakhang in Punakha.
In 1616, Bhutan received its founder father – Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyel (1594–1651). It was he who started the system of dzongs in Bhutan with the building of the first dzong in Semtokha, south of Thimphu. Today, all 20 districts have dzongs that serve as administrative headquarters and house the monastic body.
Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal fought several Tibetan invasions and local uprisings to consolidate the country. He established the first sangha (community of monks) at Cheri Gonpa near Thimphu. When Punakha Dzong was completed in 1635, the sangha was moved there and became the dratshang (central monk body), headed by a supreme abbot called the Je Khenpo.
It was the Zhabdrung who codified the Kagyu religious teachings into a system that was distinctively Bhutanese. He also defined the national dress and instituted the tsechu festival. He developed the first tax system and instituted the compulsory labor system to build dzongs, temples, and bridges.
The Zhabdrung created the system of Choesi, the dual system of governance, where the religious and spiritual aspects of the country were handled by a chief abbot (called the Je Khenpo) and the political aspects were handled by a secular ruler (called the desi).
Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal went into retreat in Punakha Dzong in 1651. He didn't emerge again, and is believed to have passed away during the retreat. His death was concealed until 1705 for the fear of internal unrest and invasions from Tibet.
Nevertheless, the next 200 years were a time of civil war, internal conflicts and political infighting. In between the Bhutanese fought several wars with the people of Cooch Behar and the British India. The first encounter took place in December 1772 after which the British-Bhutan encounters took place every now and then. The political intrigue and civil wars continued in Bhutan, and there were numerous skirmishes over boundaries and trading rights.
However, the Trongsa penlop, Jigme Namgyal (1825–82), eventually consolidated and established effective control of the country. After losing a major battle and ceding the southern plains (called duars) to the British in 1865, the Bhutanese signed the treaty of Sinchula.
When he retired as 51st desi, Jigme Namgyal remained in firm control of the country and in 1879 appointed his 17-year-old son, Ugyen Wangchuck, as Paro penlop. After Jigme Namgyal died, his son consolidated his own position and developed closer relations with the British. In 1907, Ugyen Wangchuck was elected the hereditary ruler of Bhutan. He was crowned on 17 December 1907 and installed as head of state with the title Druk Gyalpo (Dragon King).
Ugyen Wangchuck died in 1926 and was succeeded by his 24-year-old son, Jigme Wangchuck. The second king refined the administrative and taxation systems and brought the entire country under his direct control. After India gained independence on 15 August 1947, the new Indian government recognized Bhutan as an independent country. In 1949, Bhutan signed a treaty with independent India that was very similar to their earlier treaty which the British signed in 1910. The treaty reinforced Bhutan's position as a sovereign state.
King Jigme Wangchuck was succeeded by his son, Jigme Dorji Wangchuck, after the former's death in 1952. The third king was educated in India and England. He invited the Indian prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, and his daughter, Indira Gandhi, to visit Bhutan in 1958.
In 1961 Bhutan emerged from centuries of self-imposed isolation and embarked on a process of planned development. Bhutan joined the Colombo Plan in 1962. The first five-year plan for development was implemented in 1961. Bhutan joined the Universal Postal Union in 1969 and became a member of the UN in 1971. In the same year, Bhutan and India established formal diplomatic relations and exchanged ambassadors.
In 1953, King Jigme Dorji Wangchuck established the National Assembly. He abolished serfdom, reorganized land holdings, created the Royal Bhutan Army and police force, and established the High Court.
King Jigme Dorji Wangchuck died in 1972 at 44. He was succeeded by his 16-year-old son, Jigme Singye Wangchuck. Like his father, he was educated in India and England, but he also received a Bhutanese education at the Ugyen Wangchuck Academy in Paro.
He pledged to continue his father's program of modernization and announced a plan for the country to achieve economic self-reliance. Among the development goals set by the king was the ideal of Gross National Happiness (GNH). GNH has today gained universal currency and Bhutan at the moment is researching and developing indices on how to measure the successes of various development projects based on GNH indicators.
King Jigme Singye Wangchuck is the architect of Bhutan's policy of environmental conservation. In 2005, the 49-year-old king announced his plan to abdicate the throne in favor of his eldest son, Crown Prince Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck, and help move the country from monarchy to a democratic constitutional monarchy.
Bhutan held the first democratic elections in March 2008. A senior minister, Jigmi Y. Thinley, who worked under the fourth King, won the elections in a landslide victory. The Druk Phuenseum Tshogpa defeated the People's Democratic Party by 45:2 seats in Parliament. Soon after, the constitution was adopted and the fifth king crowned. The head of the state is the king, while the head of the government is the prime minister. A cabinet of ten ministers help the prime minister look after the country's daily affairs.

Brighouse Arts Festival is in the final stages of planning for its fourth year.
Six days of music, dance, drama, literature and visual arts will transform the town between September 21 and 26 and here's a sneak preview of some of the performances we can look forward to.
This year sees a wide range of activities to choose from and organisers have gone all out to provide something for every member of the family.

Throughout the Saturday of the Festival MIller's will host an open mic poetry /music event, a meal with entertainment in the form of the Leeds based comedy theatre group 'The Land of Nod', and during the week, for those who like something a little more risqué a burlesque show with members of the 'Kitty Kat Club'.
This event is also coupled with a meal and early booking is recommended to avoid missing out.
Similarly if you fancy resurrecting those holiday memories of Italian food, drink and music then Prego's will be offering and romantic evening of Italian Music.
There are also a number of children's events including the Saturday morning art club at the Smith Gallery.
If you just fancy looking at some artwork there are a large number of venues that are hosting exhibitions mostly generated from the Mirfield Arts Hub and organized by Mark Milnes.
Tickets went on sale on July 1 and programmes are also due to be ready for distribution at the time of the Echo and Courier going to press.
If you want to book tickets for any event then head for Harrison Lord, Simply Flowers, Ryecorn Wholefoods, Brighouse Library.

We were just emailed a great question from a beginning couponer. I thought our collective experience and wisdom would be helpful for everyone!
I learned from you guys that I need to make a strategy before I go shopping. And it takes a lot of time that I wonder if it is taking too much of my time (meaning not worthwhile). Roughly how much time do you spend to set up a strategy for one shopping trip? Do I get used to it and the preparation time will get shorter in the end?
How much time do you spend preparing for your deal trips? Do you think it's worth it? Does it get easier? Leave a comment!

'Da Vinci' Ignites Global Passion
While readers worldwide devoured Dan Brown's novel, reaction from Cannes critics ranged from mild endorsement of its potboiler suspense to groans of ridicule over its heavy melodrama to protests over its Christian theme.
But director Ron Howard says if you think it will bother you, don't go see "The Da Vinci Code." While Howard agrees that the movie, like the novel, "is likely to be upsetting to some people," he insists his movie is "supposed to be entertainment" and "not theology."
Howard says critics should wait and talk to people who've seen the movie, then come to a decision independently.
When the cast was asked if they believe Christ was married, Tom Hanks quipped, "Well, I wasn't around."
The movie drew lukewarm praise, shrugs of indifference, some jeering laughter and a few derisive jabs Tuesday from arguably the world's toughest movie crowd: critics at the Cannes Film Festival.
"It's a movie about whether the greatest story ever told is true or not, and it's not the greatest movie ever screened, is it?" said Baz Bamigboye, a film columnist for London's Daily Mail. "As a thriller, well," he continued, shrugging.
"Maybe the next day I'll forget about it," said Igor Soukmanov of Unistar Radio in Belarus. "But today for two hours it was good entertainment. ... As a Hollywood movie, it's a very nice picture."
Critics got their first look at "The Da Vinci Code" a day before its world premiere at Cannes on Wednesday, when it also debuts at theaters in France and some other countries. The film opens worldwide over the following two days, including the United States on Friday. A gala in Beijing will show the movie an hour before its "official worldwide premier" in Cannes.
In London, the apparently unstoppable train of publicity took the form of an actual train here as the movie's stars and notables headed for a trip to the Cannes film festival for Wednesday's opening, CBS News correspondent Mark Phillips reports.
The movie is directed by Howard and stars Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou as strangers hurled together on a frantic quest for the Holy Grail after a series of murders is committed.
The filmmakers add some twists and variations here and there, but the general thrust of the novel remains intact, including its theory that Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene were married and had a child. Variety calls is a "subversively revisionist view of Jesus Christ's life."
The movie has prompted denouncements from many Christians.
"It's a bit as if someone were to write a novel about your family in which all your brothers and sisters are criminals and says, 'Oh, it's just fiction,'" Father John Wauk of Opus Dei University of Santa Croce, Rome told CBS News. "It is just fiction, but it is offensive anyway."
The Cannes audience clearly grew restless as the movie dragged on to 2 1/2 hours and spun a long sequence of anticlimactic revelations.
"I kept thinking of the Energizer Bunny, because it kept going and going and going, and not in a good way," said James Rocchi, a film critic for CBS 5 in San Francisco and the online outlet Cinematical. "Ron Howard makes handsome films. He doesn't make bad ones, but he doesn't make great ones."
Todd McCarthy, a critic for Variety, agreed. "Sitting through all the verbose explanations and speculations about symbols, codes, secret cults, religious history and covert messages in art, it is impossible to believe that, had the novel never existed, such a script would ever have been considered by a Hollywood studio," McCarthy wrote.
One especially melodramatic line uttered by Hanks drew prolonged laughter and some catcalls, and the audience continued to titter for much of the rest of the film.
Some people walked out during the movie's closing minutes, though there were fewer departures than many Cannes movies provoke among harsh critics. When the credits rolled, there were a few whistles and hisses, and there was none of the scattered applause even bad movies sometimes receive at Cannes.
However, critics singled out co-star Ian McKellen, playing a wry Grail enthusiast who joins the search, as the movie's highlight, injecting hearty humor and delivering the most nuanced performance. "McKellen seems to relish every moment and line," McCarthy wrote. Paul Bettany added a seething mix of tragic pathos and destructive zealousness as a monk assassin who carries out the slayings.
Bamigboye said all the actors were solid, but enthusiastically added, "I've got to tell you, Ian McKellen steals it. He slices all the crap away."
And one New York critic praises the movie for not asking moviegoers to "check your brain at the popcorn counter."
"The Da Vinci Code" is far more interested in being a rare summer movie that you won't forget an hour after leaving the theater than questioning the basis of anybody's religious faith," Lou Lumenick writes in the New York Post.
Nevertheless, the anticipated protests have already begun in places like India, the Philippines, Thailand and China, Phillips reports, where the Christian populations have been trying to get the movie banned or boycotted, or to carry health warnings that the story is only fiction.
Christians in Asia are particularly worried about the movie because they believe it could threaten a religion that is already a minority in many countries. "I think we should do everything not to allow it to be shown," Eduardo Ermita, the Philippines' Executive Secretary, tells CBS News. "As a Catholic, it is blasphemous."
"If Jesus Christ had a child and a wife, then Christianity would be destroyed," said Thongchai Pradabchananurat, of the Thailand Protestant Churches Coordinating Committee.
Also Wednesday, Opus Dei, portrayed as a murderous cult in "The Da Vinci Code," stepped up its effort to turn the negative hype surrounding the best seller-turned-movie into a teaching moment about the conservative Roman Catholic group.
The book asserts that Opus Dei is involved in covering up the theory that Jesus and Mary Magdalene had a child. As part of its media blitz to counter the theory, Opus Dei hosted a daylong media visit Wednesday to a vocational school it runs in a working-class neighborhood of the Italian capital to show off its work helping train young people to be mechanics, electricians and chefs.
Opus Dei's message is that a lot of good has actually come out of the film, because it has generated interest in Christianity and given the church an opportunity to teach the truth about the faith and Opus Dei's mission, which is to show that everyday work is an opportunity to grow spiritually closer to Jesus.
The film's lukewarm reception among critics at the Cannes Film Festival also brought some smiles to Opus Dei members, who cited the fact that laughter rippled through the screening room during a melodramatic climax of the film.
"The laughter explains everything," said Michele Crudele, director of the Opus Dei-run Centro Elis vocational school.

National Mustang Club of America Show – Asheville, NC
I just returned from a trip to the National MCA show in Asheville, NC. This was the first Mustang show of any kind for our great little K Code convertible, Jack the owner, and me.
The event was plagued by rain & thunderstorms, but somehow the sponsoring club, the Blue Ridge Mustang Club, was able to pull it off flawlessly – an amazing feat.
Being somewhat "long of tooth", I've become somewhat intolerant, & not much of a "club type of guy" but was overwhelmed by the club officials, members, fellow participants, and most especially, the judges, who seemed to bend over backwards to assist us rookies in preparing for the show. They said they were "here to help", & having spent nearly 30 years in corporate America, I had my own interpretation on what that meant………..I was "dead wrong". They were there to help, and help they did. Special thanks to Jeff, Fred and Richard.
It was a long weekend, and my own internal stress over the car & lack of sleep didn't do much for my body, but a gold medal offered a lot of relief, a happy customer, a much better trip home, and the ability to focus on some of the little stuff we missed in preparing the car. A great experience. Will post pictures of the K Code soon.
By the way, our tip on correcting "warp" in Pony/Deluxe door panels outlined in a previous blog seems to have done the trick. Our girl Bella (67 Mustang S code GTA fastback), still displays flat (unwarped) deluxe door panels & is happy as a clam. So are we.

Capital Health Hopewell.JPG
Capital Health Medical Center - Hopewell in a 2010 photo.
(Martin Griff / The Times of Trento)
HOPEWELL TOWNSHIP — Capital Health Medical Center-Hopewell has received full accreditation as a "Chest Pain Center" from the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care, which works with hospitals to review their services and suggest improvements.
The Chest Pain Center is part of the hospital's Heart and Vascular Institute that opened in April 2013, a spokeswoman said.
"We recognize that certain emergencies benefit from very focused, specific programs that can increase the rapidity with which diagnosis and treatment can be administered," Capital Health President and CEO Al Maghazehe said in a release.
"The Chest Pain Center is the result of a large, multi-disciplinary effort to implement a program that recognizes the time sensitivity of cardiac emergencies and looks to save valuable time," Maghazehe said.
Hospital officials said patients are given an immediate examination when they arrive at the center so that life-saving minutes are not lost.
"When a person is having a heart attack, time to treatment is critical," said Dr. Kristopher Young, a Capital cardiologist. "So whether it's activating our interventional team before the patient even arrives by ambulance, saving time for an initial EKG interpretation ... every minute we can save is a minute we want for the patient."
A team of SPCP's accreditation review specialists visited the Chest Pain Center Dec. 19 to conduct an on-site review and evaluation of its cardiovascular care.
The on-site visit typically follows research and paperwork by the hospital's own staff that is then submitted to SPCP for evaluation.
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, heart attacks were the leading cause of death in the United States as of 2010, with nearly 600,000 people dying annually of heart disease.
Patients arriving at the Hopewell hospital's emergency room with any heart attack symptom trigger a "chest pain alert" in which team members quickly work to assess the patient's condition, conduct testing and determine if immediate intervention is needed, all of which is completed within 10 minutes, Young said.
"Everyone in the hospital knows that we take chest pains and heart attacks very seriously," Young said. "A patient can walk up to a greeter or a security guard and they'll be immediately taken care of. No one is told to sit down and wait."

Wedding Officiant services vary only slightly between categories depending on my clients' needs. Below I explain the types of services I perform: Wedding Ceremonies, Commitment Ceremonies, Vow Renewal Ceremonies and Polyamory Ceremonies.
For all the ceremony variations below, my wedding officiant service is more or less the same. Every single ceremony I perform is different from the last one. I custom create the ceremony based on information I obtain from you, and it is a special gift of mine to write words that speak to the people I serve on an especially meaningful level during the most important moment of their lives. Each ceremony receives a keepsake certificate that is customized and printed by a professional print lab on gorgeous creamy paper. I have many designs to choose from. On the day of your service, I come to your desired location and we conduct the ceremony exactly as we planned it. You can choose from two levels of service: rehearsal plus ceremony or just ceremony. Doesn't get any easier than that!
Performing legal weddings for straight and gay couples, I work hard to make the process easy and affordable without any stress. To get legally married in Florida, you must obtain a marriage license from the courthouse. This is the document you must give the wedding officiant of your choice so they can marry you. After the wedding ceremony, the wedding officiant will fill out the paper, sign it, complete their notary requirements then file it with the Clerk of Court.
Some people can't or choose not to get legally married for all kinds of reasons, seniors may lose benefits if they marry, others may be in a complicated divorce scenario and unable to marry while still others may simply eschew legalities altogether but still want to make deep promises to their special someone. We perform the commitment ceremony exactly as if it were a wedding only the couples do not obtain a marriage license prior to the service nor does the officiant complete or file any documents after the ceremony.
A vow renewal ceremony is much like a wedding ceremony service. It has the same structure except the couple is either already married or they have already perform a commitment ceremony. This ceremony gives them the opportunity to rededicate themselves to each other in a powerful, meaningful way. Vow renewal ceremonies do not require couples to obtain any special licenses nor would I file any paperwork after the ceremony.
Polyamorous relationships mean that three or more people have become involved and wish to commit themselves to each other in a polyamorous wedding ceremony. That Wedding Lady is happy to provide the same set of ceremonies to this group as any other client group she services. Ceremonies are customized to the group to accommodate the multi-person structure. Polyamory ceremonies are commitment ceremonies only and are not a legal wedding.

Investigation of ChainsEXHIBITIONSPosted by Rut-Malin Thu, September 17, 2015 13:04:58
The project Investigation of Chains is presented as an on-going work in progress at Four in Gothenburg, Sweden, 9th September - 3rd October 2015.
The repetition of an instant and perfect form, which is the key part in the classic mass-produced chain, both intrigues and annoys me at the same time. With this starting point I analyze the structure and shape of the chain.
The deconstruction followed by the construction, that is rather common in my earlier work here takes on a new role. Instead of the material it is the form (the actual chain) that undergoes this conversion.

|Kaushik performing in London in 2005, after she received the BBC3 World Music Award
On Tuesday 23 November 2010 at 23.05 PM (5.05 PM/USA), German public radio WDR3 portrays phenomenal raga-singer Kaushiki Desikan Chakrabarty from Calcutta!
WDR3 Radio: http://www.wdr3.de/open-soundworld/details/artikel/bengalische-nachtigall.html.
Kaushiki was blessed with the rare gift of a melodious voice and extreme musical potential which was given shape by her Guru, parents and her unflinching practice and dedication throughout the years.
At Sangeet Research Academy, her birth place, she grew up amidst the greatest stalwarts of music. Her musical talent was noticed even before she was a toddler, as she could reproduce any musical note which she was asked to sing. Her mother Smt. Chandana Chakrabarty an accomplished singer herself, took up the task of training Kaushiki in the initial stages, thus being her first Guru. Since music was in her genes, the task of further enhancement of her musical understanding and knowledge was taken over by none other than her illustrious father Pandit Ajoy Chakrabarty. Following the age old tradition Pandit Ajoy Chakrabarty took Kaushiki to his mentor and guide, Guru Jnan Prakash Ghosh,who accepted her as a " Ganda Bandh Shagird" (Formal Disciple). Kaushiki's exceptional talent was ably groomed under the magical tutelage of Guru Jnan Prakash Ghosh. It was the influence of Guru Jnan Prakash Ghosh which instilled in little Kaushiki's heart that the path to musical excellence was not only technical brilliance but philosophical realization and devotion.
As the years passed by she was selected as a scholar at ITC Sangeet Research Academy in her early teenage under the guidance of her father since when the journey began. During this time ,the Guru, the Father and a performer par excellence, Pandit Ajoy Chakrabarty guided her to several platforms all over India and abroad and imparted the invaluable musical knowledge along with art of performance and the different aspects of complete musicianship. During her early days as a performer she was privileged to share platform with maestros like Ustad Amjad Ali Khan, Pt. Hariprasad Chaurasia, Pt.Bhimsen Joshi, Ustad Zakir Hussain, Ustad Rashid Khan as a scholar of ITC SRA. Her " RIYAAZ" under the guidance of her father turned Kaushiki from a child prodigy to the only A-TOP grade scholar, then at ITC SRA.
|Ragrsree Drut Ektaal
Prestigious music festivals like the Dover Lane Music Conference, Harballabh Sangeet Sammelan, Alauddin Khan Sangeet sammelan (Maihar), Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan Yadgaar Sabha (Delhi), Sangeet Natak Academy (Patna), Swar Utsav (Delhi) and many more have seen Kaushiki performing before connoisseurs and august gatherings. In her recent array of concerts she has performed in Sawai Gandharv, Saptak Festival, Shankarlal Festival (Delhi) and the Dover Lane Festival this year was the sixth year performance in a row.
Her musical horizons have not been limited to the boundaries of India but has been expanded to the global audience. Music lovers from countries like USA. Europe, England have highly regarded and acclaimed Kaushiki's artistry.
Kaushiki Chakrabarty - excerpt from raag Multani - Amsterdam April 15 2007
On tabla: Subhashish Bhattacharjee, on harmonium: Vyasmurti Anandteerth Katti
A reflection of this came through many awards of which the most coveted was the BBC Radio 3 World Music Awards. Kaushiki's excellent renditions in her albums FOOTSTEPS, THE JOURNEY BEGINS, SWAR SADHNA,PURE AND HAMARO PRANAAM have won the heart of many a listener all over the world. She has rendered her mellifluous voice in the same album along with the Nightingale of India, Lata Mangeshkar titled VANDE MATARAM 2. Recently she has also recorded a number for A.R.Rahman in the famous Oscar nominated film WATER.
She also has a successful academic career with a first class first position in both Bachelors and Masters in philosophy in 2005. http://www.kaushiki.net/about.html

Follow Airflo's Production Manager Richard Wothers for a behind the scenes look into the development and production of Airflo fly lines. An on the water and in the factory tour explaining Airflo's patented materials and processes.
I am actually doing a test of one of their latest lines at the moment, the SuperDri Elite 5wt floater, comparing it to my trusted Rio Trout LT, and preliminary results are good. It is a lovely casting line, floats nice and high but does not sit as straight as the Rio on the water. This problem may well be solved after it has had a chance for a bit more stretching as it was noticeably better by the end of my session with it (after 4 2lb+ fish gave it a nice stretch for me!).
I will put up a full review of it soon and will be using it a lot over the coming weeks as the business end of my new toy, a Guideline LPXe 9ft 5wt which is a phenomenal rod.

It's no secret that Geddy Lee of Rush is a huge baseball fan; you can often see the dude sitting his rock star ass in the premium box at the Rogers Centre — not a bad place to be when you consider the beer girls. But I found this neat bit in a recent article at ESPN.com in which he also speaks of his love of fantasy baseball, and for one pitcher in particular:
Lee has made some nifty moves to earn his recent championships and finished in second place in 2006. He traded for Vladimir Guerrero and Ryan Howard when they were both in the minor leagues. Lance Berkman and Carlos Beltran have also been key players on his contending squads.
"Curt Schilling was really the only starting pitcher who I insisted on keeping from year to year," Lee said. "Then last year, I had to let him go and that was pretty sad."
Ya hear that, Roger?
Oh, and also: anybody wanna buy Pedro Martinez' house?

A new Presbyterian church opened in Craigyhill, funded by donations from Sabbath schools across Ireland.
The building fund had been launched five years previously following a suggestion by minister Rev Donald Fraser.
As a result, cardboard models of a church were distributed to Sabbath Schools north and south of the border.
Children were asked to fill the boxes by bringing an extra gift to raise £22,000 - the cost of the new church building.
Donations were received from Sabbath Schools across Ireland from Balina, Malahide and Dundalk as well as counties Armagh and Derry and from Belfast.
The new church was located at Churchill Road with prominent features including a concrete and oak pulpit, two stained windows and a 60 ft free-standing bell tower. It had seating for 300 worshippers.
The church was opened by Moderator of the General Assembly, Rt Rev Dr AA Fulton.
It was the first Presbyterian church to be opened in Larne since Gardenmore during World War I.
The original church building was in Pound Street, where the congregation was recorded in September, 1769.

(Penguin, 2008)
I finished this book almost three years ago, and I meant to write about it before now. Maybe I didn't have anything interesting to say about it at first – maybe I just needed to let it marinate. I don't know why I started thinking about it again in the shower this morning (that's where I do my best thinking, by the way), but I figured I'd pull it out and refresh my memory. See, I'm a sucker for these music bio books, and Dean Wareham seemed to be a pretty good subject for an autobiography. I can't tell you why – it was a hunch. I will tell you something else though – I probably shouldn't trust my hunches all the time.
Look, Black Postcards isn't a bad book. But it does the one thing that a biography or autobiography probably shouldn't do: remove the mystique of its subject to such a degree that not only are they less unique or interesting but also that they are less likable on the whole, to a point that you're not sure you really want to have much to do with them anymore. I went into it wanting to know a little more about Galaxie 500 and Luna, but I came out with the sense that Dean Wareham is whiny and entitled. I don't like that version of Dean Wareham.
Does it start with the b/w cover, Dean staring back at me pensively in his black t-shirt, guitar slung over his shoulder? It does now, because I've read the book. If you look at that cover, and you've listened to a bit of Dean's bands (also Dean and Britta, more on that in a minute), you have a sense of how this book is going to read, to a fault. Dean is the "hero" of this story, mainly in that deadpan way of his whereby everything comes off as a shrug and there's no emotional turmoil too deep that can't be covered over with a narcotic or a drink or a sold-out show. Did you expect that coming into it? Yes, you sure did. I did. Black Postcards … "delivered."
I feel more like a historian in that I've never really been too into Luna or Galaxie, but there's nothing here that makes me want to go back into their catalog and relive a glory day or two that was never there in the first place. In fact, there's nothing in this book that really makes me want to think about Dean Wareham ever again – it's like I've been given a lifetime supply of his endless pathos and I've overdosed. In fact in fact, if Dean had written this book (or scrawled the notes that he handed to his editor) while on a constant supply of Valium, I wouldn't be surprised. There's so little of a person that actually comes through that I'm kind of shocked the man on the cover is nothing more than a meat husk. Yeah, those are dead eyes, on closer inspection.
The writing style wears thin after a while – declaratory sentence after declaratory sentence, this happened, that happened, Damon and Naomi were mad, I guess it was my fault, I tried drugs a couple times, I got divorced, my poor kid, I met Lou Reed, etc. Hit the beats, move on. Drop some names for spice. I mean, come on, dude! You were in a fairly popular rock and roll band. Two, in fact! I hope you had more fun than it comes off. And look, I'm not going to judge Dean, but the whole cheating/divorce/young child in the picture/Britta Phillips thing (after agreeing with everyone in the band that no one was going to try to hook up with her, no less) just totally rubs me the wrong way. What is he, a vampire, feeding off the misery of all those around him? (The relative misery of course – it's almost not interesting enough to worry about.)
So whatever. Like I said, it's not a bad book, so if you're a big fan, you might find some enjoyment in reliving a favorite album or concert or song or whatever. But for me, Black Postcards has succeeded in placing Dean Wareham and his musician pals solidly in my rearview mirror. I gotta wonder, too, what his editor must have been thinking every time Dean turned in a draft. Surely not, "Oh, this is good, but readers need to stay awake when they read your prose." I have a feeling there was a yes-person in that office at Penguin, probably a huge Luna fan, tongue-bathing Dean's ego with platitudes about his wonderful book. I hope that person no longer works at Penguin, or at least has gotten better at identifying what constitutes a compelling narrative. Plus, was Liz Phair high when she wrote her blurb for the book cover?

I have made a card using the very sweet 'Fishy Present'. These cute little penguins were so much fun to colour in. I used my new Flexmarkers and they were great! So much easier to get into the smaller areas than my Promarkers and I found the blending quite easy too with the brush nibs.
The papers I have used are by Kaisercraft and are from the Mint Twist pad. I layered them onto red card and added stitching around the edges. The sentiment is also by Whiff of Joy and the snowflakes were cut with a Whiff of Joy die. Make sure you check out my teamies blogs for lots of inspiration using the new images! Have a lovely Thursday!

Your boat's marine gasoline engine is forced to operate at higher RPMs and loads than your car or truck engine and can consume up to 10 times more fuel per hour of operation. It is also more susceptible to phase separation, corrosion and fuel stability problems caused by ethanol blended gasoline. ValvTect Marine Gasoline is "specially formulated" for marine engines and is designed to prevent the problems of ethanol gasoline, such as phase separation, moisture, poor stability and the formation of power-robbing carbon deposits. It requires no additional fuel additives to protect your engine, eliminating any risk of improper additive use and saving you time and money.
ValvTect Marine Premium Diesel contains BioGuard™ biocide, lubricity improver, water dispersant, corrosion inhibitor and fuel stabilizer and is specifically formulated to prevent problems caused by the reduction of sulfur content. It is "specially formulated" for your marine diesel engine. As with ValvTect Marine Gasoline, it requires no additional fuel additives to protect your engine, eliminating any risk of improper additive use and saving you time and money.

Biodiesel is better for the environment because it is made from renewable resources and has lower emissions compared to petroleum diesel. Since it is made in the USA from renewable resources such as soybeans, its use decreases our dependence on foreign oil and contributes to our own economy.
On-site biodiesel fueling and fleet fueling are available. We can also help you set up your own biodiesel fueling station.

Hinglish, a portmanteau of Hindi and English, is the macaronic hybrid use of English and South Asian languages, involving code-switching between these languages whereby they are freely interchanged within a sentence or between sentences.[1] While the name is based on the Hindi language, it does not refer exclusively to Hindi, but "is used in India, with English words blending with Punjabi, and Hindi, and also within British Asian families to enliven standard English."[1][2]
Since the time of British Raj, there has been a history of Indic words making place in English. Raj is a Hindi word for 'rule', "British Raj" itself is an example of one of the earliest Hinglish words. Guru, yoga, ghee, pyjama and thug are a few examples. Similarly, many English loan words also came to stay in India. Time, Late, School, College, District, State etc. are example of few words which have naturalised in Indic languages, long before the word Hinglish came into being.
In recent years, due to an increase in literacy and connectivity, the interchange and mixing of languages has reached new heights, especially in social media, leading to the recognition of Hinglish.
Going mainstream
Columnist Devyani Chaubal was the first author to use Hinglish in her work.[3] Author Shobhaa De then began to use Hinglish elements in her books and columns in the Indian magazine Stardust.[3] Other authors who have used Hinglish extensively in their novels are Salman Rushdie and Upamanyu Chatterjee.[4]
Over the years, Hinglish has been effectively used in Indian advertising in advertising slogans, like Pepsi's 1998 slogan Yeh Dil Maange More! (This heart desires more!), Yehi hai right choice, Baby (This is the Right Choice, Baby), Yeh Hai Youngistaan (This is the country of the young).[5]
In 2003, a trend of Hinglish pop songs was popularized by DJ Aqeel whose Tu Hai Wohi became a success. Other Hinglish songs soon followed like "Chadti Jawani Meri Chaal Mastani" by Harry Anand which samples the "The Ketchup Song" and Kaanta Laga by DJ Doll.[6][7]
In 2005, Baljinder Kaur Mahal (pen name BK Mahal) wrote a book called The Queen's Hinglish: How to Speak Pukka[8] published by Collins.
A full-fledged Hinglish Novel was published by Richa Devesar in March,2015.[9]
A dictionary for Hinglish has also been published.[1]
This is more commonly seen in urban and semi-urban centers of the Hindi-speaking states of India,[6] and is spoken even by the Indian diaspora. Many speakers do not realize that they are incorporating English words into Hindi sentences or Hindi words into English sentences. David Crystal, a British linguist at the University of Wales, projected in 2004 that at about 350 million, the world's Hinglish speakers may soon outnumber native English speakers.[10]
Hinglish is also affecting the English spoken in the United Kingdom, with the adaptation of words and expressions used by Indian immigrants and their offspring into colloquial English in the United Kingdom.[1]
Aspects and examples
Hinglish refers not just to the use of Indic language words into English, but vice versa also.
Example of using English Words, in sentence basically written in Hindi : Yeh Dil Maange More! (This heart desires more!), Yehi hai right choice, Baby (This is the Right Choice, Baby).
Example of using Indic Words in an English sentence: How to Speak Pukka,
Some examples of Hinglish vocabulary are:[1][11]
- airdash: going somewhere in a hurry
- pre-pone: the opposite of postpone, to bring something forward in time
- co-brother: brother-in-law - Co-brother, to be very precise, is the sister-in-law's husband
- Eve teasing: street sexual harassment
- glassy: wanting a drink
- timepass: a distraction to pass the time
- badmash: hooligan
Hinglish is also the way English is pronounced by people speaking Hindi. Example of Hinglish:
- 'juo' for you
- 'pphunny' for funny,
- 'pphOOr' for four/for,
- 'iskool' for school,
- 'ispade' for spade and other twin consonants starting with the letter 's' at the beginning of a word.
The above pronunciations are typically used in rural areas. The urban population uses the Indian English pronunciation.
In some communities, Hinglish is viewed as a pollution of the English language. Hinglish came into existence because speakers wanted to sound affluent and intelligent in front of other people, whilst using minimum effort in becoming fluent in English. For native speakers of Hindi, it is more convenient to speak in the original language, while replacing Hindi words with their English equivalents. In India, the English language is associated with higher intelligence and higher standards in personal and business life. When a person speaks in this manner, it creates an illusion of being a knowledgeable and intelligent person.
