The effects of above band gap ultrafast optical excitation on the structural properties and lattice dynamics of the prototypical perovskite multiferroic, BaTiO3, are investigated using a constrained density functional method (É. D. Murray et. al. PRB 72, 060301 (2005), P. Tangney and S. Fahy, PRB 65, 054302 (2002)). We calculated the dependences of phonon frequencies and structural stability on excited carrier density. Our work shows a reduction in ionicity due to electrons being returned by O anions to Ti cations. At moderate excitation levels, this causes a decrease in polarization, a softening of several long wavelength optical phonons, and a lowering of local barriers to ferroelectric domain reversal. This indicates that a transient photo-induced lowering of both the coercive field and the phase transition temperature is possible. We suggest that pump probe spectroscopy could be used to induce a purely-displacive transition to a higher symmetry phase at low temperature and/or to generate and study the decay of coherent optical phonons. Our findings may also provide guidance to the design of optically controlled devices.

While grading schemes have been around and readily used by health care professionals for more than 30 years, evaluations of health care evidence and recommendations have always been—and remain—complex. After all, when considering the wide range of evidence sources, from small laboratories to well-designed large-scale clinical studies, and varying ways in which recommendations are developed, it makes sense that health care providers are still working to improve best practices to determine what works best for improving patient care.
Dr. Joel V. Brill, medical director at FAIR Health, Inc., shared his experience working with the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) on its process for developing guidelines during a video interview with the National Pharmaceutical Council (NPC). Dr. Brill pointed out that roughly a decade ago, the AGA published a set of criteria—currently available to the public—that outline how the Association identifies measures and topics for guideline development.
Like many others in the health care industry, the AGA uses the well-recognized Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) process to evaluate and develop evidence-based guidelines. GRADE employs a multi-stakeholder, iterative and intensive process during which a team identifies a topic, then the quality of evidence undergoes a technical review, from which the guidelines are written and developed by clinical experts and a GRADE methodologist. Finally, the clinical practice guidelines are reviewed and, after the AGA governing board approves the guidelines, they are published.
During the discussion with NPC, Dr. Brill explained that AGA works to identify and focus on topics that are controversial, where there is a lack of clarity, or where the AGA is trying to align and create opportunities for collaboration and improved outcomes with payers, external quality entities, fellow health care providers and—importantly—patients. When it comes to developing guidelines, says Dr. Brill, the bottom line is really about "identifying best practices and opportunities for improving patient care."
Want to learn about quality measures? The University of Maryland School of Pharmacy and NPC have partnered to develop an online continuing education series, "Healthcare Quality: Measurement and Implications," which provides a comprehensive overview of the health care quality landscape, including national priorities, and measure development, endorsement and implementation. The series includes two interactive modules, "Healthcare Quality in the United States," and "Quality Measurement for the Pharmaceutical Industry," for health care decision-makers (i.e., pharmacists, researchers, stakeholders and industry leaders).

The Town of Vail has opened up a previously off-limits-to-skiers parking area at Donovan Park. Tom Boyd of realvail.com gives us the skinny.
Check out Vail's (the town) parking and transportation page here, where you can find free bus routes and schedules and other free parking options in Vail.
And Vail (the resort) has a big ole list of free and not-free parking options here. You know, in case you feel the need for some valet parking action.
I have paid the $25 to park at the Vail Village garage, which isn't a bad option if: You have at least 4 people in the car to split the cost, and it's a powder day of epic proportions, and you NEED to get to the lift asap.

Jefferson Security Bank in Shepherdstown, W.Va., has promoted its chief financial officer to chief executive.
Cynthia Kitner's appointment at the $288 million-asset bank took effect March 16, according to a Wednesday news release. She succeeded Stephen Morris, who had been CEO since 2003. Morris will take the role of chief strategy officer until he retires on April 20.
Kitner joined Jefferson in 2005 as CFO. Kitner, a certified public accountant, previously was an audit manager for the accounting firm Yount Hyde & Barbour.
Jefferson did not specify its plans for filling the CFO position. The bank did not immediately return a request for comment.
Jefferson was founded in 1869 and has six branches in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia and in Maryland.

It's often said that cyclists have two women in their lives – their partner, and their bike. My wife has had to put up with my cycling for many years, in fact she's now become a fan, watching races on TV with me and even reading my magazines when I leave them around. But she's never been interested in the actual bikes themselves. Which is a good job because she'd divorce me if she knew the real cost of my bikes.
My problem now is that I'm in lust – and she's bloody expensive! I thought I was happy with my 'best' summer bike – she handles well and looks great, but she doesn't look as good as the bike above. The object of my desire – a light blue Legend HT9.5. I can't remember where I saw the photograph but it was the colour that first drew my eye – it's my favourite colour and you never see it on a bike. As I poured over the photo I then realised the frame was a thing of beauty, no matter what colour it could have been painted in. I'd never heard of Legend – but internet research revealed some great pedigree. The guy who built the top end Viners (which I had heard of and which had great reviews) and the beautiful titanium Passoni's had started his own brand.
I kept going back to the photo and realised that I wanted one. No scrub that. I NEED one. The HT9.5 looked expensive and my research revealed it was. Well out of my reach, but I've always been one of those people who rises to a challenge.
So this blog is a public way of me announcing my intentions. If my goal is out there, then it's real, and means I have something to strive for. This first post is the first step towards me owning a Legend HT9.5. I don't know how long the journey will take, it might take that long that the beautiful light blue colour will be deleted! But one day I will own that bike.

Less than a week away from its flyby of Pluto, NASA's New Horizons probe is sending back incredible images to Earth showing whale and donut-shaped features on the surface of the dwarf planet.
Interested in ?Add as an interest to stay up to date on the latest news, video, and analysis from ABC News.
A dark equatorial band measuring 1,860 miles has been dubbed "the whale." The feature's "tail" on the left side of the map appears to cradle a bright area that NASA researchers are calling "the donut."
The donut could be an impact crater or a volcano, however, researchers are holding off making any actual assessments until New Horizons gets closer to Pluto and is able to capture more detailed images.
New Horizons had a scare over the weekend when the space probe, which has been on a nearly decade-long journey to the dwarf planet, briefly entered safe mode. NASA said the glitch appeared to be caused by a "hard-to-detect timing flaw in the spacecraft command sequence" and that the probe is on track for its July 14 rendezvous with Pluto.
The spacecraft is scheduled to come as close as 6,200 miles from the surface of the dwarf planet.
New Horizons blasted into space atop an Atlas V rocket in January 2006. Pluto at the time was still considered a planet, with scientists later that year voting to demote its status to that of a dwarf planet.
After a sleepy nine years, the probe woke up in December 2014 from the last of its 18 hibernation periods as it prepared for its initial approach toward Pluto.

Okay, another new start! LOL
Hmm, how many times should I re-start before I just give up??? Well, one more try.
I think this time, it's just been easier to use Facebook to keep folks updated; at least it's easier to upload photos there. Anyway, I'll try one more time.
Also I've been busy for the past almost-year with house guests that I hadn't been used to before; less time to be free to just be crafty and/or post anything!
This time I may just not wait till I have something "crafty" to show, but chronicle other things as well. We shall see.
To start with, here are some photos I took while experimenting watching the annular eclipse of the sun that happened Sunday evening. I had never tried the pinhole-in-a-paper-plate trick before, and when it worked, I was very excited! Always been a fan of celestial events (as well as extreme weather events…)
Awesome, right? I was quite proud of myself. That I tried it out, first of all, and secondly that my camera actually could take a passable photo of the result.

Burmeister and the Voter ID Bill
Sez Burmeister, "An Atlanta Journal-Constitution article citing a Department of Justice memo has erroneously misrepresented comments made by me concerning voter turnout in my district. While I do believe that voter fraud is rampant in our state, I in no way believe that African Americans in my district or around the state only vote when they are paid to do so. If the AJC's misrepresentation has offended anyone, I apologize. However, I do not believe that these statements are accurate and they are in no way a reflection of my beliefs on this issue. I am equally offended by the newspapers blatant misrepresentation of the facts."
Notice how Sue Burmeister deftly tries to shift the blame away from her and over to the evil, liberal AJC. However, the AJC was merely quoting the DOJ memo (page 6), which says, "Rep. Burmeister also said that if there are fewer black voters because of this bill, it will only be because there is less opportunity for fraud. She said that when black voters in her black precincts are not paid to vote, they do not go to the polls." (Emphasis added)
So, the AJC got it right, based on the memo. It seems pretty cut and dried; the AJC repeats what the DOJ memo says. So if anyone misconstrued Burmeister's racism...err, we mean remarks, then it's the DOJ, right?
Or is it? Let's think this one through, kids. Who has more motivation to rewrite history, the career attorneys at the DOJ, or Sue Burmeister after getting caught with her sheet down?
This is, plain and simple, a case of a politician who said something extremely inappropriate trying to play the victim, with the terrible "liberal media" as the culprit.
You'll notice that the usual GOP spokes-suspects aren't exactly jumping to Burmeister's defense, and we think that's because they know that she screwed the pooch from a political PR standpoint, and would prefer to avoid the fallout from this one. Lesson number one in the GOP Guide to Playing Racial Politics: No matter what you actually think about black people, don't actually be dumb enough to say it in public. We're betting that, as far as the Republican leadership is concerned, this particular turd sandwich is Burmeister's, and Burmeister's alone, to eat.
By the way, before our more conservative readers jump on us, we should make it clear that we know that Burmeister's comments are not reflective of all Republicans, or even most Republicans in Georgia. That's why we're hoping that, among others, Brian Kemp will stand up and decry Burmeister's statements to the DOJ.
Regardless of all that, we're betting that there's at least one race in 2006 that the black community in Burmeister's district will be turning out to vote in. And we're betting that they won't require compensation of any kind.
Slip us the tippies, yo.

She did screw the pooch, and no sensible Republican is going to rush to her rescue.
The Georgia GOP isn't going to fall on its spear to save an unsalvageable Sue Burmeister.
Nor are they going to go the extra mile to save the voter ID bill. Smart Republicans would rather have the issue than have the bill, anyway.
- Publius said...
Good lesson for pols of any party to be found here. Nothing is ever off the record.
- Publius said...
By the way, am I the only one who thinks that the Georgia GOP could get some real traction by totally Trent Lotting Burmeister?
- Dawg Corleone said...
That's the point I just made. This whole thing is a winner for the GOP: Give her the Trent treatment publicly, and realize that privately--without ever, EVER saying it--that a sizable chunk of the electorate is thinking to themselves "ya know, she's right."
Dems get to the play the Self Righteous Indignation Card (their second-favorite, right behind the Victim Card), but nobody outside the Left Wing Echo Chamber gives a flip.
If I didn't know any better, I'd think Karl Rove was behind the whole thing...
- Publius said...
Except for one thing. Those pesky moderate suburban voters who are getting a little disenchanted with the Republican majority in Georgia. Right now they're thinking to themselves, "Hmmm, maybe the Republicans are kind of squishy on racism..."
Couple that with the mistakes the GOP has made as far as open government, plus Sonny and his school-cancelling things, plus the general state of the economy. (And I know that GA's economy is relatively good compared to other southern states. I also know that most voters don't give a damn if our economy is better than Alabama's; they just know they're not doing as well.)
Sounds to me as though the GOP has some hard work to do on suburban moderates to swing them back over. The GOP's close association with Bush isn't going to help either.
And, for the record, that might just be why Greg Hecht is going to win the Lt. Gov's race.
- Dawg Corleone said...
Greg Who?, say Democrats.
That's why they're pushing hard to get Michael Thurmond in the race.
The school "closing" thing will make for some good one-liners during the campaign, but it's not going to be a big deal.
You might be right re suburban voters, but I doubt you'll be nearly right enough for it to matter next year. Obviously, a lot can change in 12 months.
But it will have to, with a do-nothing (or do very little) Governor who is going to sit on a 58% approval rating and play rope-a-dope.
This ain't Roy Barnes pissing off everybody. This is Sonny Perdue, not bothering anybody. And that's the way to win in this state.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Governor Chafee has signed legislation spelling out how much of the new table game revenue the state will receive, if voters say yes in November to full-scale casino gambling at the privately-owned Twin River and Newport Grand video-slots parlors.
The governor's office confirmed the signing, in response to an inquiry. Spokeswoman Christine Hunsinger said the governor and his staff "worked hard with the legislature" to come up with a "clean bill," and a non-confusing bill and "now it is up to the voters."

Our beautiful Titanic actress, Kate Winslet is sober yet sexy with that captivating smile and enchanting face. She acquires a great natural breast and curvy body where are not obviously a boon of advanced medical science.
In fact, she is one of the subversive celebrities who are against plastic surgeries. Once in an interview with The Telegraph, Winslet said, "I am an actress; I don't want to freeze the expression on my face."
Salma Hayek is the amazing actress blessed with incredible spotless beauty and fresh complexion that another female craves for. But she swears she has never ever done cosmetic surgeries to get those great breasts and smooth round butt.

2017 Fantasy Football Draft Prep: Preseason takeaways on Marcus Mariota, Carlos Hyde, Ameer Abdullah and more
The standout performances from the second week of the preseason -- for better or worse -- involve two quality quarterbacks and a handful of running backs.
Note: Draft season is upon us, for the best draft party have your draft at B-Dubs! Players receive food & drink specials plus a free draft kit. Sign up HERE today!
You couldn't have asked for a much better showing that what Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota offered against the Panthers.
The third-year passer completed six of eight passes (one attempt was a throwaway while under pressure), averaged 7.6 yards per attempt, hit Delanie Walker on an easy touchdown and even rushed for 9 yards on his lone carry.
But what really was most impressive was his ability to operate so seamlessly, especially without any of his top three receivers. So if he's doing this well with Tre McBride and Taywan Taylor, just imagine the possibilities when he's got Corey Davis, Eric Decker and Rishard Matthews.
The Titans offense ran as smoothly as a Swiss watch, playing with the type of execution you'd typically see from teams that run the same offense and have great quarterbacks year after year. Given the potential of a very good quarterback in a much-improved offense, we could be on the brink of a very special year for Tennessee, and for Mariota. He's quickly ascending toward top-five Fantasy quarterback status ... but can still be had past Round 6 on Draft Day.
One quarterback you might find yourself debating Mariota against is Russell Wilson, who was sharp against Minnesota. Behind a good effort from his O-line (their pass blocking is ahead of their run blocking), Wilson was on target with most of his passes and would have had three touchdowns if not for a Kasen Williams drop in the end zone near the end of the first half.
The most important factor here was that Wilson not only threw well but moved around well. This isn't about his total of 1 rush yard on two carries, it's about how smooth he looked running around and out of the pocket to help make plays happen. That's crucial to his success.
There is some legit concern about the offensive line after starting left tackle George Fant tore his ACL. It's not going to get solved easily -- former Jaguars bust Luke Joeckel is in the mix to be the replacement. We learned last season that Wilson's pass protection is vital to his success. If it's not fixed, Wilson's numbers might not stay strong.
For now, I like Wilson better than Mariota, particularly since the Seahawks run game could be a mess again in 2017. That would force Wilson to throw more.
The 49ers gave signals during the offseason hinting that they weren't happy with Carlos Hyde's game, even wondering if he was a great fit for Kyle Shanahan's offense. Once camp opened it seemed like Hyde was safe as the No. 1 rusher, especially after coaches and execs gushed over his improved conditioning.
But through two preseason games, Hyde has 26 yards on 10 carries and one catch for 3 yards. Specifically, he's looked a little slow running the types of plays Shanahan prefers, specifically missing holes and not reacting quickly enough to the zone-blocking scheme.
The Niners aren't making it easy on us to figure out his backup. A week after burning through the Chiefs' backup defenses, rookies Joe Williams and Matt Breida combined for one carry and 1 yard. Instead, Tim Hightower and Kapri Bibbs took over with the backups, with Hightower getting minus-1 yard on three totes and Bibbs netting 6 yards on four runs. Both had a catch, both totaled 5 yards.
Wait and see how these backs shake out in the third preseason game. It would be stunning to see Williams and Breida not get work after playing well previously. As for Hyde, he should still begin the season as the 49ers' top running back. Whether that stays the case will depend on how much Shanahan wants to (or needs to) cater to him as a power runner. Round 4 is the absolute earliest to draft him.
Look, I want to love Ameer Abdullah. More importantly, I want the coaches to love Ameer Abdullah. I want them to commit to him and be done with this stupid two-running back stuff they insist on.
Abdullah had some good moments with extended snaps with the starting offense against the Jets. His speed is evident -- no one else among the Lions running backs can touch him -- but he danced too much in the backfield, ran too horizontally and just didn't show enough power. His blocking wasn't consistent, especially on the Lions' first drive when he was responsible for a sack of Matthew Stafford.
The talk of a breakout year for Abdullah isn't ridiculous, but there are a number of factors in order for it to happen. He can't fumble, he obviously can't miss time with an injury and he'll have to earn more playing time. Abdullah has never has 20 touches in one matchup and has amassed 15 or more touches in four of 18 career games.
Basically a low-end No. 2 running back and top-60 pick by default, Abdullah needs to show his skills off more in order to rebound in the rankings.
What did C.J. Anderson and De'Angelo Henderson have in common at San Francisco? No, it's not score touchdowns. Both played with the first-team offense.
Anderson started and got into the end zone on his third try after the Broncos picked up a short field following a 49ers special-teams turnover. Henderson worked the next series but didn't get any touches. Then Anderson came back for another series to help the Broncos add three points. Henderson took over from there, flashing not only with quick feet but also displaying nice hands. He finished with 30 yards on six carries and 20 yards on two catches.
Anderson is the no-doubt starter for the Broncos, but his injury history is pretty well known. He's still worth a top-50 pick. Word out of Denver is that Jamaal Charles is progressing nicely, but he's also got a star-crossed past when it comes to his health. Henderson is worth the late-round flier in case one (or both) of these backs end up struggling to stay on the field.
When's the last time a running back had over 100 total yards in a game and looked BAD?
It's rare, but such a dubious honor goes to Steelers rookie James Conner, who struggled in his first three quarters against the Falcons.
Conner was slow to move off the handoff and slow to accelerate. He dropped three passes. While his cuts, even in tight space, were really sharp, his vision was awful as he bumped into his linemen and danced around too much in the backfield on some edge runs. He seemed tentative. There were only a handful of plays where his offensive line limited him from gaining yardage.
But once he got to the fourth quarter, Conner looked better. He ripped off runs of 9, 10, 11, 17 and 19 yards against third-stringers and finished with 68 yards on 10 fourth-quarter attempts. It would have been nice to have seen this earlier in the game.
Why is this important? Because if Le'Veon Bell struggles for any reason, the Steelers' running back depth chart behind him isn't so hot. Conner figured to be best backup, but if he's slow and scared then he won't be counted on. Who's left? Fitzgerald Toussaint? He's averaged 3.1 yards per run this preseason, 2.9 yards per run over his career and has never scored an NFL touchdown.
Let's hope Conner plays better in the final two weeks of the preseason -- he's sure to get opportunities. If he does, the Steelers probably won't have to make a move at running back. If he's not, then they might want to get on the phone to see what DeAngelo Williams is up to.

Mixed metallics is a huge pattern that's used the design globe by tornado. At one time it could be taboo to combine metallic designs in a area — a lot of clashing. Yet today, actively mixing metallics creates a feeling of comparison and visible interest. Plus there's simply no better method to get that will artsy, very stylish look within the bathroom. Using of those accessories going on within the space, it is a great way to check out mixed metallics. Keep reading to understand how.
Gold and silver move well with each other
Combining silver and gold won't drive you incorrect. As the 2 most popular steel shades, they may be combined in a way that they in fact balance one another out. The particular cool gold and comfy gold provides a stylish comparison to your bathing room.
The photograph above displays an interesting firm: gold along with the room contrary to the black walls, with metallic fixtures to the bottom contrary to the white floor tile backdrop. The particular gold springs against the dark wall, as well as the silver does not compete with the particular white background. Combining silver and gold in such a way furthermore keeps the area from searching chaotic.
Add bronze for another put of colour
You're furthermore not restricted to just 2 options. The style above mixes gold lighting fixtures, magical faucets plus bronze cupboard door deals with. This area shows just how any mixture of mixed metallics works as lengthy as you work with a certain amount associated with organization. This particular room includes a gold style at the top, the silver tone in the middle plus bronze within the cabinets at the end. It advances logically within gold-silver-bronze, such as award alloys. The light colouring of the space itself will also help the material pieces take.
Delicate shades draw together the bedroom
The picture above displays how you can mix metallics inside a less tiered way. The particular warm precious metal cabinet holders go well with the particular warm wooden coloring. In the meantime, the awesome polished nickel-type faucet sets nicely using the white marbled. Bright stainless- light fittings sit on possibly side of the light precious metal mirror body.
The reflect frame will be the element that will draws the particular deep precious metal cabinet deals with and silvery fixtures as one cohesive appearance, as it appears as a half way point between your 2 tones. This is a good idea for blended metallics styles where comparison in the metal fixtures is not the center point.
Fittings and metal statuary increase the mixed metallics look
Unless you want to remodel your bathroom, a simple way to get the trend is to then add metallic sculpture to your bathing room. The picture above displays how metal gold leaf statues include contrast towards the silvery sink fixtures within the room. Additionally you don't have in order to feel restricted to silver and gold; the copper sculpture could produce a colorful accentuate against silvery fixtures.
The advantage of metallics is the fact that any varieties can go collectively if you use a mild touch, making use of one tone to accessorize a more major shade. Plus adding metal statuary is really a solid method to do that. To do this look without having to shell out a fortune upon solid-gold figurines, invest in a steel spray color that that may withstand dampness and aerosol a less-expensive statue or even accent item.
Dark doorway handles plus bright sink fixtures make contrast
A good way to combine combined metallics within the bathroom would be to combine darkish and gentle. Dark made iron cupboard handles combine well with a vivid silvery colour like stainless- on the sink fixtures.
Nevertheless , what makes this particular style function is the company: The stainless- on the sinks pops being an accent contrary to the rest of the made iron accessories. The white-colored cabinets display the darkish door deals with, as well.
Just how have you utilized mixed metallics in your bathing room? We'd like to hear about this in the feedback.

The third of my placements is over. It was unexpectedly nice. No burns, no bites, no electrocution. I have a cut, granted, but I can handle that. It's also nice to be clumsy when there's someone to laugh it off or worry about you when you fall. (Placements make so much more sense with friends.)
I'm enjoying my Saturday, lazily. Writing in between reading and thinking. A scone draped in honey and a nectarine. Also, Crunchy Nut cereal just because I love the stuff.
I read old messages I've sent. I remembered old posts I've written. I realised mid-message that I was blaming my brain for something I wanted to say.
It seems that I often refer to my brain as a separate entity, as if the unpleasant things I do are imposed on me by an unknown force I can blame. The problem is that my brain is very much part of me. In that sense, my compulsions are very much part of me.
That's unnerving.
I will stop now and write. I need to get reorganised. The plot isn't actually moving in the middle and the subplots are scattered throughout the document. I'm not sure what the characters are doing either, which is frustrating since I'm the one who wrote them into existence. All they want to do is sit together and talk. All. The. Time.
So, yes, stopping. Fingers crossed that I manage to put down five thousand salvageable words on paper today.

Evaluation of CSCS
I came to India without expectations, as such baggage will only burden you with the possibility of disappointment. Knowing already the madness that laces this culture, I came with half empty suitcase and an open mind. Over the past few years, I've developed what could be best described as a love affair with the country. I covet the incessant wail of the auto rickshaws, the lingering scent of incense, the ocean of people, the pure spontaneity and organized chaos of the nation. No indifferent reaction can be had in the face of India, as it is truly a place you either love or disdain. I first came out East at eighteen. I was young, naïve and without any explanation as to what the catalyst was behind my decision to come. Sleeping in the folds of my memory, the fading recollection and desire to return to this beautiful and bizarre country has followed me through the years, like a shadow growing as the sun sets. I sit now on bus traversing the Mother Country on route to Goa. As I watch the landscape slip past my window, I realize that India is everything and nothing as I had anticipated it to be throughout my long awaited return. Groping for the words to describe my time here thus so far I realize I am lost for them. Yet, in retrospect, it took me years before I felt as if I could fully wrap my mind around my first experience in India. I expect that same to be true in this case.
In regards to the more formal aspects of the program, such as the academia, I have found the courses to be, by and large, interesting and the professors to present engaging lectures. As a media and culture student, the opportunity to analyze and dissect Bollywood films within the context of India has been an unparalleled experience. The great minds lacing the staff of CSCS have opened my mind to conceptual approaches completely outside of those I have come to rely on to make sense of socioeconomic conditions like poverty. Although our time is short, I feel as if I have already gotten a lot out of the program. Having never really had any exposure to films generated from Bollywood, Ashish class has provided a great overview of the prolific cinematic production and diverse genres that make up the industry. On another topic, I also found his argument on how the darkness of the slums cast a shadow on the metropolis to be a particularly intriguing proposition. Lastly, I like how Sumita's class provides an overarching framework of the issues at hand. The reading for her course has been difficult, but nonetheless very interesting.
The lectures conducted at Institute of Scientific Research were among my favorite because it gave my fellow peers and I a chance to venture outside to the periphery of the city and have the metropolis reveal yet another side to us. Although I wasn't too inspired by the class concerning the proliferation of the IT industry and its economic implications on Bangalore, the screening of Heron Farocki's work, "Images of the World and the Inscriptions of War" was compelling. Furthermore, I found the professor of this lecture to be captivating in her critique of the film. In regards to the course load, the articles and essays have thus so far been interesting, yet its been difficult to juggle a full day of classes with the assigned reading- especially when overwhelmed with the desire to see Bangalore. My only suggestion would be to utilize the city as a classroom as such an experience is a rarity. Given that the metropolis is as socially and economically diverse as it is, the city itself renders an unparalleled education.

You know, I don't know why people are complaining about this Summer having a lot of "crappy" anime. I mean, this wasn't any worse or better than the last 2 seasons. In fact, there's actually MORE shows that I'm interested in watching this season than before. It's been a long time since I felt inclined to follow on a weekly basis more than 2 series in one season.
Then again, this season is full of female-centric anime, and y'all should know that I love my girls, lulz.
Okay, so this post is gonna be divided into three major categories: 1) Definitely Following 2) Checking Out and 3) DROPPED for it makes my eyes bleed
Warning: I'm not particularly nice when it comes to anime shows I don't like. ^^;
al;skdjfa; SO MUCH LOVE LIKE WOAH. The visuals are stunning, the cast is crazy and awesome, and I'm actually thinking of making recap posts for each episode of this entire amazing, unbelievable series. Because I have so much I want to say on the art and the graphics and the characters in this show, and it can't be satisfied through this Impressions post. Yes, I do realize that there are like, a million people who don't rely on subs to get out their Recap post for this series already, and my posts on Bakemonogatari is just adding to the whole cluster of them, but this is for me, and hey, my blog, so w/e~
Aoi Hana
homg GL SERIES THAT DOESN'T HAVE STUPID FANSERVICE FOR BOYS TO GET OFF ON. *is shot* Sorry, I just, the occasional fanservice I can handle, but it always annoyed me that a lot of the GL anime I've checked out always made me feel like they were just catering to guys with all those useless boob and panty shots. I always wanted a GL anime that concentrated more on like, the love story than just the girls posing around in various sexy positions and fanservice with no proper storyline. But yes, back to the actual anime: I love how quiet and atmospheric the whole show is like so far, and I love how the feelings of love are being explored. It would have been really easy for this to just be a Fumi angstfest but it wasn't! The director of this anime just gives us scenes and shows how Fumi reacts to it without gratuitous inner monologue of d00m, and I love it. Am definitely following.
Yoku Wakaru Gendai Mahou
Wah, Ep. 00 made me all addicted and rooting for the cast~ I mean, I even decided on my ship for this series! (Misa/Yumiko, btw) I'm not sure about where the actual plot is going so far, but I'm completely in love with the cast and Koyomi's pan summoning magic, and will definitely stick around to the bitter end. Yaddy yadda, yes I realize it's pretty much your standard mahou shoujo series, but I like how they poke at it and reimagine it into either modern magic (where magic becomes analogous to computer programming, lulz) and how the magic spells are reasoned out. 'sides, Ep. 00 was really really funny and I can always appreciate a good comedy. =D

Waiting on Wednesday ~ Violet and the Mummy Mystery
Hello everyone!
Today's WoW is another book that won't come out until August! It features a great MC (this is book 4, so we are familiar with the characters), a mystery, a crime, great illustrations by Becka Moor, and this new book makes me even more excited, as it also features a mummy! A missing mummy at that. It also features the British Museum (oh how I wish I could visit it), a professor of Ancient Egyptology (one of my dream jobs).
And here I thought I could patiently (well, as patient as one can be) wait, but now I am bouncing around wishing it was August already. 😛 I want to solve the case of the missing mummy!
When Violet's cousin Agnes and her Aunt Mathilde arrive from Cairo, Violet is delighted. Aunt Mathilde is a Professor of Ancient Egyptology and has discovered a mummy that may be the key to revealing the secret location of Queen Nefertiti's tomb. Violet can't wait to find out more! So when the precious mummy is stolen from the British Museum, it's a disaster. Who has managed to pull off this crime right under the security guards' noses and where is the mummy now? It's up to Violet and the gang to save the day!

Though keeping a home's HVAC system up and running at all times is one of the most fundamental tasks a homeowner has, not everyone knows how to do it well. Learning how best to select on HVAC professional to repair or replace heating and cooling equipment is one of the wisest things a savvy homeowner can do. Continue reading for what you must know.
Make sure you check the filters in your air conditioning unit. This is important because checking your filters could make the difference between inexpensive repairs and more expensive ones down the line. Try to put it into your monthly schedule so that you don't forget to check the filters regularly.
Know the system you have, before calling for help. Learn the brand and the model. This information will be helpful to any contractor you hire to repair it.
When you are no longer using your outdoor air conditioning unit, be sure to protect it with a tight cover. This will keep it free of debris, frost and snow so that you'll have a working unit when the spring comes and you are ready to uncover it and use it again.
Installing a programmable digital thermostat can help save money. It will help save on your cooling and heating costs by turning itself down at certain times. This will save you a lot of money during the year.
If you are uncertain about which HVAC contractor to call when you experience an equipment failure, take the time to ask friends and family for personal recommendations. By doing this, you will be able to feel more confident about the choice you make, because you will have gotten the opinions of people you already know to be trustworthy.
When choosing the area for placing an outdoor compressor device, place it in a shady area. The efficiency will be boosted since it will not need to work as hard if the unit is taking in cooler air.
Make sure they are insured, before having someone install a new HVAC system or maintain or repair yours. If anything happens while they are working at your home, they are financially covered and you will not be responsible, having someone who is insured work on your system will assure that.
Use a regular outlet timer to control when it is on or off if you have a window air conditioner without a timer. These are the same ones you use for holiday lights, so all you have to do is plug your air conditioner into the timer and set it to cool you during the day.
If you are thinking about installing a central unit, consider window air conditioners for your home. Do you really need to cool your kitchen overnight? Do you have multiple floors with only one housing bedrooms? To efficiently and cheaply cool only where people are actually staying, window units are a great choice.
Ask those you know for the name of a great HVAC technician, should you need one. You should be able to find someone that has had a good experience. This will also provide you with good information on which contractors you should avoid hiring.
Installing a whole-house fan can either cool your home without the use of air conditioning or make your air conditioner more efficient. It blows out all of the hot air which collects in your attic, and this air flow draws in cool air from your basement and up into your home.
To run an efficient HVAC, you must ensure your house is fully insulated. First, if you have the right kind of insulation and enough of it, check into your attic to find out. Investing in getting that up to grade is better than installing a strong HVAC system if not!
Have you been thinking about buying a new HVAC system? There are several things you should consider. The systems are generally rated based on the area they cover. It's always better to buy something just a little bit bigger, as opposed to trying something too small.
Do not close your vents. Keep air vents open and unblocked at all times. Many people believe that closing off a vent will save them money on cooling costs. This is not true. It can actually damage your HVAC system. Closing vents can cause your cooling coil to damage and freeze the compressor.
If you are going to use the Internet as a source for good HVAC contractors, you need to be very careful. You never know who is behind the glowing reviews that are posted all over the Web. There is a chance that the contractor is posting their own reviews or paying others to do so.
Consider building a shade over it if your outdoor compressor unit sits in the sun. Air in the shade is about 5 degrees cooler than air in the sun. This can have a significant impact on your cooling bill. When done properly, you could see up to a 10 percent savings over the season.
Before going air conditioner shopping, measure the living area you wish to cool. The area's calculation can help you figure out what the size is and air conditioning repair miami there are 20 BTUs for every foot squared in this area. Combine their square footage in your calculations if the unit will be cooling several rooms.
You should focus on finding an HVAC contractor that can offer you a warranty on the work they are doing. This is a sign that they are confident in their ability to get the job done well. This will protect you in the event that is not done right and needs to be fixed.
Have you ever lost your HVAC system during the bitter winter or blistering summer months? You know what a terrible nightmare this can be if you have. It doesn't have to be a dire situation, by arming yourself with the right knowledge ahead of time. Use these suggestions to increase the performance of your unit.

Buzz Surrounds Relocation of Coke's Secret Formula
- Written by Admin TOA
- Published in Industries
- 0 comments
The brand-brandishing companies behind these secrets all know this. But perhaps none better than Coca-Cola, which on Thursday was all over Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to announce that it was physically moving its secret formula from a SunTrust Bank vault in Atlanta to a vault in a new exhibit at Coke's World of Coca-Cola tourist attraction in downtown Atlanta.
"The whole point of a trade secret is that you know something that no one else does," says Ted Ryan, archivist at Coca-Cola.
"The whole point of a trade secret is that you know something that no one else does," says Ted Ryan, archivist at Coca-Cola.
Corporate America is rich in secret-formula and secret-recipe lore. Beyond Coke, there's KFC's Original Recipe formula, McDonald's Big Mac secret sauce recipe and, of course, the super-duper secret behind Google's algorithm.
But by shipping out a photo of CEO Muhtar Kent depositing Coke's 125-year-old secret formula into a new vault, Coke isn't trying to sell you a Coke. Rather, says PR consultant Katie Delahaye Paine, it's enlisting you as a PR agent.
"Coke now measures its success by customer expressions," says Paine. "They value this in terms of something that gets customers excited on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Flickr."
Consumers are enamored of secrets. Coke is simply playing on our emotions, says consumer psychologist Renee White Fraser. "The idea of it being in a vault makes it seem more powerful than it really is," she says.
Some other companies that dangle secrets:
•KFC. The chicken kingpin considers the 11 herbs and spices in its Original Recipe fried chicken to be "one of the world's most valuable trade secrets," says spokesman Rick Maynard. It's kept in a safe that's inside a vault at company headquarters.
It requires four people to get into the safe and get the recipe, he says.
•McDonald's. The secret recipe for the "special sauce" on its Big Macs "is under lock and key in the Golden Archives in an undisclosed location" in the Western suburbs of Chicago, says McDonald's spokeswoman Danya Proud.
•Bush's Baked Beans. The brand that markets its family recipe for baked beans as top secret in its TV spots — known only by a top Bush Bros. executive and a pet dog — really does keep its recipe secret, says company attorney Bill Seale. And just who knows that secret?
His answer, of course: "I can't tell you." Source: By Bruce Horovitz, USA TODAY

John Marvin and Obadiah "Obie" Paul Leonard were born in Linden, a small town in East Texas. The Leonard family was a farming family of 12 children; Marvin and Obie knew they didn't want to farm for a living, so they worked in Dallas and saved $600. They used their savings to start Leonard's, a store that sold farm equipment, food, toys, etc. - a "mall" before there were malls. At one time Leonard's had the largest toy department in the United States. In 1970, the historical Leonard's store was sold to Tandy, then Tandy sold out to Dillard's. Marvin Leonard passed away at the age of 75 in 1970 and Obie Leonard passed away at the age of 89 in 1987.
In 1966, through the generosity of the Leonard brothers, land was acquired for Leonard Middle School, and construction was begun 1967. The bond election held in 1964 originally planned for Leonard to be a junior high, with grades 7 through 9. To recognize all that the Leonard brothers had given to the Fort Worth Independent School District, the decision was made to name the new school after Marvin and Obie Leonard. In May 2009, a 40th anniversary celebration was held at Leonard Middle School. The school was fortunate to have as honored guests members of the Leonard family participate in the celebration.

Staying with the theme of portraits, today we have Sam. I found Sam in the streets one early evening. Dirty, bedraggled and wet from the incessant drizzle of a miserable grey Berlin day, Sam was lying abandoned. At first I thought an errant child may have mislaid him, but it quickly became clear that Sam had been maltreated and required immediate care. His seams were splitting, and his insides leaked from his body as I lifted him from the pool of dirty water. Covered in grime, his fate was in the balance as I took him home and began to carefully wash him, all the while pushing bits of foam back into what at first appeared un-reparable splits. But later, after he had dried out and the seams carefully re-stitched, his body seemed to hold together so I made a place for him in my apartment and he stayed.
Quiet and contemplative, Sam is never in the way, always there when needed, a perfect friend really. It has been ten years since that fateful day, he's still a little fragile and requires odd maintenance, but is never a problem.
For the shot Sam was sitting on an upturned soft-box set to very low power. Another flash, at 10 o'clock high with a white umbrella attached on camera left side, was the key light. Light was bounced back into Sam's left side by a white reflector. The picture was processed to imitate the look of a Polaroid print to give the image a nostalgic look.

Medics are happy overall with how Daisy's doing. First 48 hours was particularly difficult mostly because we lost the epidural early on. Yesterday afternoon saw a really big turning point in that the physio came and helped Daisy into a chair for an hour; a massive mental and physical manoeuvre. We managed to half the morphine and ketamine which means the first signs of the Daisy we all know have started to emerge. 'Tube food' started last night with success but unfortunately the nasogastric tubes both were pulled out in the night despite being stitched. At least one of them has to go back in this morning.
The kindest messages of support are just piling in from unbelievable sources which I'm finding hugely comforting. Anyone who knows me will be aware that I turn into someone else without any sleep so keep them coming please. Apparently a friend of Aunty Mary's who is in Israel, lit a candle for Daisy on Wednesday in Galilee and a friend of Rosemary's had the congregation praying for Daisy in Oban Cathedral on Sunday. Daisy needs this and more at the moment

Celebrate a birthday and pray
The Kamloops Daily News Letter to the Editor by Glendene Grant
Jessie Foster's 24th birthday is coming up on May 27. Let's celebrate her life. I am having a "birthday party" for Jessie. It will be online, in hearts, in person. Wherever you live, however you want to celebrate is how I want you to do it. You can join the celebration by signing up on Facebook, MySpace, or even by signing our guest book on our website: http://www.jessiefoster.ca—I have been getting an idea from a local family in Kamloops who's son/brother is missing I the Thompson River, and have a candlelight vigil that night. This can be done from anywhere. Please light a candle for Jessie on May 27 at 8 p.m. We will celebrate her life and pray for her return.
The more people who keep Jessie's story on their lips and in their e-mail, the more likely were are to not have people forgetting about her.
Thank you all so very much for your love and continued support, Jessie's mom Glendene.

The Great Asian Lie
The children who pass by my gate always wave and smile; except for those kids who only know one sentence of English; that being, "Give me money." Tourists have made life difficult for expats because the local children observe foreign tourists spending money like drunken sailors on weekend liberty, but the children have no concept of the almighty credit card. They do not realize the bill comes later when the tourist returns home. Most likely, the day will come when panhandlers will have cell phones that allow tourists to swipe their credit cards when responding to the appeals for money.
As they saunter down the street, the men and women also acknowledge me. The women often greet me with a smile; some in pleasant niceties and others in a more sensual manner. Trolling for a husband is a way of life for many in poor countries and a foreigner's income would go a long way in improving their standard of living. I am not being judgmental in making this observation, because if our roles were reversed, I would also want to marry a foreigner. The men, well that is a mixed bag. Some smile and others loathe. Most of these men, whose facial expressions seethe with disdain, believe all foreigners are in their country to use and abuse the women. Sadly, they are not entirely wrong in their thinking. The majority of foreign men, single or married, who are traveling solo, are often looking to have sex with the locals. The mindset of men from developed nations is their money is that good; as if it were some magical key to unlock a treasure trove; a key that will always work in places where poverty is the order of the day.
Guess what? It does work. Much to my dismay I know of families that have abandoned all their cultural norms and moral standards to drink from the well of foreign currency. In every Asian country I have visited the cultural norm is for a man, any man, foreign or domestic, that desires to date someone's daughter, would first meet her family and then the couple will be accompanied by a chaperone. Truth be known, that was also the standard in developed nations in times past. We certainly have come a long way. Not!
And we have no problem exporting our habits and vices to other countries. Twenty-five years ago I would rarely see an obese Asian, but thanks to the infusion of fast food joints, "Civilization Ho!" there are now pronounced numbers of overweight adults and children. Nowadays they even have an entire industry devoted to weight loss! Developed nations have given so much: cigarettes, liquor, pollution, traffic jams, porn, casinos, lottery, etc. Don't sit their looking so smug, because Asia has, and is, mimicking all of the vices that originated in developed nations.
As Western culture has taken root foreign men now meet their love interest at the airport and then head off to a resort where they will spend the week alone. Before the man returns to his home country he will usually have dinner with the family and shower them with gifts. Commonly, they will be inappropriate trinkets that do nothing to benefit the actual needs of the family. Gifts of perfume and gold watches do not fill empty stomachs. Fifty kilos of rice and a case of canned corned beef would be a much better choice.
Of course, one has to consider the fact that these families are making a conscious decision to accept these handouts, but when they do…it sends the wrong message. In essence, they are saying, "Sure, it is fine and dandy that you sleep with our daughter and take her virginity while possibly impregnating her. And while you are at it, invite your friends to visit here and do the same." Khaki clad travelers with sunglasses on, interpreters of love, shuffle sandal shod feet on Asian lands, to join the sex machine and the people sing praises of Dinky watches and Channel No. 5.
Some Asians are angered by the expression "Crab Mentality," some could care less and others are oblivious to its meaning. I resisted the inclusion of this term in my verbiage for a long time. It was not until a Filipino journalist gave me her views regarding "The Great Asian Lie" that I then began to see how such terminology could be used without sounding like an arrogant racist. And after living in Asia for a number of years, I have had many personal experiences that typify the definition.
One stands out quite vividly among the plethora of others. Some friends came to my house for dinner one evening. One of the guests was a middle-age woman with two children. When it was time for them to depart, I stood outside with them as they waited for the next tricycle (motorbike with a sidecar) to rumble down the street. The junction in front of my residence was a common area for people living in that barangay to flag down a tricycle and then proceed to their selected destinations. The area is not particularly well-lighted. Desiring that my friends would feel safe and secure as they waited for transportation, I waited with them. After a few minutes two men from one of the side alleys appeared and stood within twenty feet of where we were positioned. They could obviously see my friend and her two children; knowing full well that she was first in line to secure a ride back into town. In a couple of minutes an empty tricycle approached the intersection. The driver looked toward the woman and I sensed he knew that she was the better fare; three persons versus two. Before he could stop in front of the place where my friends were standing, one of the men stepped out in front of the tricycle forcing the driver to halt. The two men exchanged words with the driver, climbed into the tricycle and preceded down the road; leaving a woman with two children standing there bewildered. I shouted, "How rude!" as the men passed be me. It is my nature to be a defender of the downtrodden and defenseless. My friends are continually telling me to be quiet, because people have been killed for simply looking at another person in what may be deemed an offensive manner.
What? Are there no laws? Many here in Asia have told me that there are many laws, but no one to enforce them. Come to think of it, I have walked for one hour throughout the town on many mornings and I have never seen any police presence. However, I have seen many personal motorbikes parked in front of police stations. How can they enforce the law if they are all inside the station?
"Crab Mentality" has been defined in many ways: being too proud and treating others as inferior beings; jealous and bitter when others are improving and progressing; selfish and lacking any sense of sacrifice; self-righteous and critical of others; lacking in compassion; know-it-alls; and never believing they have any of these characteristics. I believe this attitude, so prevalent in Asian countries, can be summed up in one simple sentence; that being, they care about themselves and nobody else. Many Asians have told me, "If we continue in this mentality, we will not grow as a person and definitely, we will not grow as a nation. Therefore, as people mature, they have to become aware of this negative attitude or habit. We must eliminate this way of thinking, not only for ourselves, but also for the whole nation and the next generation."
And that brings me to "The Great Asian Lie." Over and over again I have heard this lie so many times that it is not any wonder to me why people have come to believe it to be the truth. In all fairness, a "half-truth" would be a more appropriate assessment. I cannot begin to tell you the countless number of times that Asians have said to me, "We are a family oriented society and we care about others." Even the media touts this half-truth in news broadcasts and commercials. One half of that statement is true, that being, they are family oriented, but the other part is a blatant lie, because they ONLY care about THEIR family and will step in front of, or on, a fellow countryman to be first in line.
When shopping in developed countries I have arrived at the checkout lane many times carrying only a few items for purchase. Those persons already in the lane, with their shopping carts filled with many items, quite often have graciously invited me to go ahead of them. Conversely, after living and shopping in Asia for over four years, such courtesy has only been extended to me on two occasions. And never permit a space of greater than twelve inches between yourself and the person standing in front of you, because that minute distance creates the perfect opportunity for someone to step in front of you; it has happened to me more times than I care to remember.
Consider where common courtesy and decency are found. They are certainly not values that are birthed in corrupt environments. Corruption here has reigned for so long that the citizens have become numb to civility and it shows in the manner in which they treat others. The more that centralized governments attempt to control every aspect of daily living, the greater the propensity for corruption and inefficiency.
For example, I have a close friend that works in city government. She is, for all intents and purposes, a welfare recipient. Basically, she has more paid leave days than she can use. In fact, at the end of the year she has to utilize her leave days or simply forfeit them. And holidays! They have more holidays in a six month period than I had in a year when working in a Western nation; another contributing factor in a lack of productivity. The school system fairs no better. On many occasions I have witnessed my neighbor's son not attending classes. Curious, I have asked him why he was not in school on that particular day. His replies were manifold. For example: "We have no teacher today for those classes." Substitute teachers are essentially nonexistent in most Asian countries. Other times he has said, "They are testing the girls, so we are excused from classes," or "It is raining so we do not have to attend right now," or "It is festival, so no school today." And the government wonders why students score poorly when compared to developed nations.
Furthermore, only last year did the school system here begin the progression to a Kindergarten through 12 curricula. Previously, students were considered to have completed the necessary elementary educational standards at grade 10. After which, they would either attend a four year or two year college program. Unfortunately, the burden of expense for these educational pursuits is shouldered by the student's family. That fact alone creates a crushing hardship for the majority of families. Worse yet, it most often fosters another cultural habit which finds its genesis in "The Great Asian Lie."
For those families who opt to stretch their resources to the maximum and pay the tuition of their oldest child, when that son or daughter graduates, he or she is burdened with the responsibility to financially support the next oldest sibling when it is their turn to go to college. This is not a noble tradition, but a burden the child must bear and most will tell you that it makes going to college seem like a perpetual cycle of poverty. Even with a college diploma their income will be quite limited; hence, forcing them to remain at home coupled with having to relinquish the greater portion of their labors to support their family. I view it as enslavement by parents who are too lazy to work hard themselves and rely solely on a large number of offspring in order to generate income for their personal wants.
I have neighbors who live in a very simple structure; woven fiber walls, a metal roof that leaks and a concrete floor, but they have a 32" LCD TV, new furniture and a powerful stereo system. All of which were had from the incomes generated by their three daughters who are working and remain at home. The parents do not work even though they are able bodied. It is no wonder those daughters hardly ever smile when I see them leaving for work in the mornings and returning home in the evenings. What do they have to look forward to? What a disheartening existence. I could only imagine the look on my older brother's face had my parents told him that he would have to assist me with my college tuition.
Most Asians have never been taught to plan for the future; probably because their futures have been so fraught with difficulty and burdens. Most do not even plan for the next day, let alone one year, five years or ten years down the road of life.
So how can they break this cycle that impedes growth and stability? Traditional educational pursuits have certainly not been the answer, because those who do graduate find themselves applying for jobs that pay little more than those who did not have access to a college education. Most college graduates find themselves working in service industries as desk clerks in hotels, retail sales persons in the malls or cashiers in the supermarkets and restaurants.
Does it really require a pseudo college education to have the skills to fulfill those positions? Of course not, but the educators continue to perpetuate this false belief and the governments have been unable, or lack the will, to stand up to teacher organizations. Interestingly, it has been the college educators that have opposed the transition to a K to 12 curricula. Why? Their enrollments will decline because employers will now have access to candidates with a high school diploma knowing they possess the necessary skills to fulfill job requirements.
Additionally, vocational programs at the high school level would also provide a greater number of opportunities for graduates and reduce the financial burden on families. Parents and students would no longer be forced to rely on the two year college to do what a primary education system could never accomplish in a Kindergarten through 10th grade curricula.
Improving the judicial system will also help to bring about positive change. A lack of implementation and enforcement of laws that are already on the books sends the wrong message to citizens. If the judicial system is unwilling to apply and administer those laws, the citizenry has no compulsion to act honestly and honorably in their interactions with others. You can see this played out on a daily basis as people attempt to cheat one another; even rationalizing that deliberate thievery is just a cultural norm.
Cases of injustice fill the television news reports, radio broadcasts and newspapers, but the reporting does not move the judicial system to act in accordance with the law; to do the work to which they have been appointed. I have followed one such incident where 58 persons, 32 of whom were journalists, were massacred on their way to support an opposition candidate for an office that was held by a corrupt politician who had his own personal army. That incident occurred over three years ago and not one, no not one, person has ever been convicted.
There is no magic pill to immediately cure all the ills of any nation, but if change is going to come…it has to start someplace. There needs to be a beginning point; a place where people can look back to and say, "It was right there when we decided that honesty was a virtue that would bring positive change and we chose to stop living a lie."
It can only happen when they free themselves from "The Great Asian Lie" and come to the realization that caring about others is as equally important, actually, more so, than solely caring about ourselves.
