Haripada Biswas Pratibandhi Vidyalaya ( established on 12th day of January, 1997 )
My dear Brothers and Sisters,
Nava Barrackpore Siksha Samaj established a School for the Disabled Children ( M. R. & H. I. ) on 12th January, 1997 i.e. on the auspicious Birthday of Swami Vivekananda in memory of late Haripada Biswas - the founder of New Barrackpore Colony. Sri Biswas was a friend of poor and helpless peopl, a man of great faith, courage and organising ability.
The school started functioning in another school of the society, organising as a morning shift one, then gradually the Siksha Samaj procured funds and acquired a small plot of land and constructed a building for the school. The foundation stone of the said building was laid down on 12.01.2000 by the Central Minister, Sri Tapan Sikder and was ceremonially opened on 14.12.2002 by the Finance Minister of West Bengal Dr. Ashim Dasgupta. In addition to construction of the building the Samaj procured essential furniture and fittings, educational equipments and aids, means and materials for imparting effective and quality education and service to the challenged students all by its own fund.
That since the inception of the school has been running with the help and financial assistance of the kindhearted persons of the locality. Such financial help has been decreased due to death of some donors.
That considering our financial position and considering the urgency of a school for the disabled children at New Barrackpore, Dr. Arjun Sengupta, M.P. was pleased to grant us Rs. 8,00,000 /- (Rupees eight lacs) only and by his financial assistance alongwith the help of local people we have constructed a building at Sankar Pukurpar within the Ward No. 5 of the New Barrackpore Municipality.
We, on behalf of the unfortunate and challenged boys and girls of this school whom we try to teach and train with the great zeal of service to helpless student is service to God to enable them to live all by their own efforts.
Our teaching and non-teaching staffs are organising the school. They are serving the institution since last 18 years on a pittance though we are not in a position to pay them a reasonable and required remuneration.
On 30.07.2003 the Govt. of W.B. granted Academic Recognisition to a School without any financial help. That though our School is recognised by Govt. and recognised by the National Trust, Govt. of India, I am sorry to say, due to financial deficiency our school is steadily proceeding towards the way of closure. At his stage we are praying before the noble and generous persons to come forward for the betterment of the School considering the face of the 60 nos. of disable students who are now under the care and control of this institution.
Teaching and training of disable children require individual attention and care and close monitoring of their physical requirement. Only a specially trained teachers can teach, train and help them.
That most of our students come here from the weaker section of the society. As such, we are not in a position to enhance monthly tuition fees from those students. As such, without injuring the financial capacity of the parents of our students we are praying for financial assistance from the noble persons. Unless and until our Govt. take this school in the interest of the disable children and also to remove the sufferings of the teaching and non-teaching staff.
That I am glad to say on 11th of December, 2008 the Governor of West Bengal, Sri Gopal Krishna Gandhi who besides being Gandhiji's grandson, a senior and effective administrative and reputed literary person and a man of sound judgment visited our institution in order to lay the foundation stone of the New Block of Haripada Biswas Pratibandhi Vidyalaya and after being fully satisfied, he expressed his blessing for the development of our institution. It can be mentioned here that he has given time to us for spending one hour at our institution but appearing here after being fully satisfied he has spend more than four year to our institution.
That for the development and betterment of our school we pray to the kind hearted and generous persons to donate some amount as they think fit and proper considering the faces of our disable students, apart from God there is none to look after them.
That the Nava Barrakpur Siksha Samaj have obtained the exemption facility of 80G of I.T. Act, Govt. India as such all the donation paid in favour of our institution will be tax-free.
Thank you to all and persons blessing of all corners of the state so that we can proceed and develop our institution on the strength of the blessings of Swami Vivekananda.
It can be mentioned here, the disable children are different able and given due help and care, they in most cases may live a normal life with dignity. When after a few years some of our students become self supporting and begin to lead a better life like and other normal human being, that will fill our heart with extreme delight. Only then we will get our satisfaction.
N.B. : For exemption of I.T. pay to the Secretary, Nava Barrakpur Siksha Samaj.

Once Spurned by Developers, Shut-Down Military Bases Are Now Sought-After Sites
When the military announces another round of base closings, the news sends chills through cities and towns fearful of losing a source of good jobs and a steady flow of cash generated by the troops.
Not so in Concord, Calif. The city, located about 20 miles from Oakland, actually asked federal officials to shut down the Concord Naval Weapons Station, hoping to develop the land. The Defense Department agreed to close a roughly 5,200-acre portion of the property -- quite enough to stir up Concord....

Simonson on Art, Comics and "Legion of Super-Heroes"
This week, writer Paul Levitz makes a detour from the action in his ongoing DC Comics series "Legion Of Super-Heroes." Instead, for "Legion" #5, Levitz examines the daily lives of the Legionnaires, checking in with the various members for a day-in-the-life of story that spans the Legion, their headquarters and everything in between.
"Legion" #5 also marks a departure when it comes to the creative team as series regular artist Francis Portela steps out and comic book legend Walt Simonson, the man behind "Orion," "The Mighty Thor," and half the creative team on "X-Force" (along with his wife and industry giant of equal stature, Louise Simonson), plus a host of other major mainstream comics, steps in for a self-contained story.
CBR News caught up with the veteran writer/artist to talk about the issue, along the way stopping to discuss his working relationship with Levitz, how Simonson's father influenced his art process, and why the legendary creator is as excited to draw Stonehenge as he is the Legionnaires!
CBR News: "Legion Of Super-Heroes" #5 is sort of a stand-alone story. What attracted you to drawing a single-issue story?
Walt Simonson: I've known Paul Levitz for a long time, we go back to pretty much the beginnings of both of our careers. Back in, gee I don't know, '77, somewhere about then, we hooked up and he was writing "Legion" back then and I did the layouts that Jack Abel finished, who was an inker. I did a full issue — I think this was in a longer issue. They had a little more heft. It was "Super Boy and The Legion Of Super-Heroes," it was kind of a long-ish thing, and it was fun. I mean, I hadn't worked with Paul before really and we did the issue then. Basically every fifteen to twenty years we get together and do another issue, so this was our time!
And that's really true for all of the comics I've done. It's one of the things I find interesting, to try and find out what's different about the different locations, the people, the costumes, all that kind of stuff, and then bring that knowledge to bear in some way on the drawing.
As you mentioned, it's basically every fifteen or so years you and Paul get together to do a "Legion" thing. With this issue did you go take a look back at any of your other "Legion" work and compare or think about how your style has changed from the last time you drew the Legionnaires?
I didn't do a lot of that. I remember the old jobs, some of them fairly clearly, although the one that goes back into the '70s was a long time ago. But I didn't really go back and dig out that stuff to look at. I actually looked at some of the recent Legionnaire stuff, some of Yildiray [Cinar's] stuff and some other guys in for the past year or two or more. I have some of the trades of "Legion" stuff, I went back and dug that work out to see kind of how the drawing was done, who was working on what, what kind of feel they gave to some of the characters or their backgrounds or the conference room.
In my own case I know what my work is like, at least as I've developed over time, and in many ways I'm more interested to see what other guys are doing because that's the stuff I'm not doing. I may find some bit of inspiration somewhere, something I wouldn't have thought of looking at my old work. So I look at a lot of fairly recent stuff. At the time I was working on it DC sent me a couple of PDFs of, at the time, unpublished issues, so I was able to look at that. A concrete example is the cover of the comic, which is a crop shot of the Legion clubhouse. While it's always been this rocket ship with its nose stuck in the ground it has looked really very different based on that kind of model over the years and even fairly recently so I didn't take a lot of liberties but I found some recent versions that were coherent and tried to use that imagery with the clubhouse I drew.
Having looked at so much work by other artists, do you feel there are any new artists whose work you really admire, or any up-and-comers you are keeping your eye on?
You know, probably nobody I could name; if I like something I pull it aside and put it in a pile and kind of go through it every so often. The guys who I could name as the new guys have probably already been in the business for fifteen years! [Laughs] I mean one of the guys I'm a huge admirer of is John Paul Leon, and John Paul was one of my students back in the early '90s at the School of Visual Arts, started working on "Static" for Milestone originally while he was still in art school. He's just flourished into an astounding draftsman and storyteller who spends a lot of time considering the work and trying to figure out how to make it better. I'm just fascinated by his stuff and the work he does. Bernard Chang and some of the guys in BLVD Studio, I think those guys are phenomenal. So there's stuff like that but there's no real young new guys, at least none who I've connected a name up and go, "Oo, this is that guy." But one guy, again this is not a brand new guy at all, but Olivier Coipel who's been around for a while and been doing "Thor" over at Marvel — with Olivier I'm just in awe of his draftsmanship, I pick up any comic he's drawn because I just think it looks great.
To digress slightly, last year between the "Thor" movie and IDW's "The Mighty Thor: Artist's Edition," people have once again become very aware of your run on the character and that era of the comic. With all of that mainstream attention, has there been temptation to come back to writing other "Thor" stories or to write on your own superhero series again?
Well, we'll have to see. This is my interview for "Legion" so I'd hate to throw a plug in for another company! [Laughs] But it was just announced that I'm going to be drawing six issues of the "Avengers" with Brian Bendis writing, which would be the first real monthly comics I've done in maybe ten years. I worked on a number of miniseries, I worked with Michael Moorcock a couple of times on the "Elric" stuff, I just finished a graphic novel for DC that involves a series of short stories all strung together. The overall story is called "The Judas Coin" and the individual characters are all DC characters. They're mostly unknown ones, fairly minor ones, if you were a DC fan you'd probably know them: The Golden Gladiator and the Viking Prince and Bat Lash and Manhunter 2070. The one guy that people would know because I talked about before is Batman and Two-Face square off in this, so it's really sort of a Two-Face story and Batman kind of shows up to lend his presence to the tale. But that was a story that I did write and draw, I inked it as well, that'll be coming out sometime this year. I don't know for sure when that's going to happen. But it's almost a hundred pages long, it took me a while to get done, and that was challenging. That was something where, with each story I was doing there were different time periods; the Golden Gladiator is the Roman Empire, Captain Fear is a Pirate in the 1700s, and so for each of those stories with whatever success I could manage I tried to draw each of the tales in a somewhat different style. So that was writing and drawing and inking myself, so that was a lot of fun finishing that stuff up.
But I like sort of bouncing around, I'm looking forward to drawing some stuff somebody else is writing for a while. Then I may go back and do some creator-owned stuff, I have some ideas about that as well which is not something I've done very much of, but maybe it's about time. So once the "Avengers" is over from my end of it I may go back and look a little more deeply into creator-owned material and try and head in that direction for a little while. If I do that it would be stuff I would be writing as well as drawing. I enjoy jumping around a bit partly because the attempt there, for what it's worth, is to try and keep fresh. I've done comics for a long time now but I find that I was always concerned about burning out and wanted not to do that if I could avoid it. I thought, "So some comics I write and draw, some comics I just write or just draw." The different combinations really present you with different sets of problems that you have to solve, even if you work with some guy for a while. That means hopefully you have to keep thinking about the work, and figuring out how to make it the best story you can mange with a different partner every so often. Hopefully that keeps the work fresh.
To end things back on "Legion," you've already let us know the most challenging aspects of the issue — what was the most fun part for you to draw?
There was a girl who was called Dragonwing I think, she's a Phil Jimenez character, and she was quite challenging. It turns out that I could have done some stuff with her with an overlay, which is extremely smart in order to get this kind of transparent cloak with dragon designs on it. I was the idiot, I just went ahead and drew the whole thing! But she was a lot of fun to do sort of a Goth girl, so I enjoyed doing her. But really Glorith was very interesting, probably because of the room, probably the costume, probably the character herself.
One of the things I did like was that when Paul gave me the plot there's all these different Legionnaires and he frequently described them and their personalities through their body language. Someone is withdrawn and you get the impression he hunches shoulders and the elbows are in — it wasn't quite detailed in that regard but it was about the body language which was really an enormous help visually. I don't think I ever had anybody send me a plot or a script where that was quite so concentrated, and it was an enormous aid in getting a hold of characters, some of whom I know and some of whom I really didn't know, in something as short as one issue. In this case as a one off guy it was a great way to be given insights into the character in ways that actually functioned to aid the drawing. There were bold, gutsy people and there were very quiet, shy people who whispered, there were people with brash actions and other guys who were annoyed about that — there's one great moment of someone being annoyed, which was a lot of fun! [Laughs] So even though the characters are only on stage very briefly, they're with other characters and have interactions, which were fun to try to realize in their acting.
It was just fun in general. It was challenging because there were so many characters and they all had to be referenced, but it was fun to try to put it all together in a comic in which the usual bombast of "Let's show a bunch of guys beating each other up," wasn't really there. It's more a brief series of character studies. That was a pleasure to do. You know the Legion has the overall gestalt I hesitate to even touch because it's such a huge future that Paul has developed and it has a legion of fans, pun was mildly intended there. It was neat to be able to touch that and work in that corner, and maybe in fifteen years I'll come back and Paul and I will do another story! [Laughs] I'll talk to Paul about that!

I am going to go ahead and say that if I were to do my wedding over again, I would ask Stacey to dress me. I would put her in charge of selecting my gown, shoes and accessories because all day I was drooling over her wedding attire. I loved the way her dress caught the wind so gracefully, the way her shoes were so dainty and fragile and the way her bejewelled headpiece complimented her hair style to a tee. I knew her soon to-be-hubby, Alex, would see all of these things eventually… but first he focussed on her sweet smile as she walked down the aisle, the smile he brought out of her for all of those years together and many more to come.
On that sunny afternoon, the Gathering Place at Camosun College was full of teary eyed guests who, along with myself, were lucky enough to witness the special connection between Stacey and Alex. These two are so deeply in love and there was no hiding it. Scroll down and take a peek for yourself

In the Garden ~ Prepping for Fall/Winter Plantings
By Torrie and Ryan Sessions Here in southern California, the arrival of a new season isn't exactly as "clear-cut" as is the case in other parts of the world. Fall saunters its way in eventually, not always [ever] as timely or prominent as I'd prefer. Spring, on the other hand certainly compensates for its counterpart's delay, sprinting right in with the utmost punctuality- not only on time, but early even! Don't get me wrong. A lingering summer has a wealth of benefits- benefits that serve our garden well, and our appetites even greater. How Read More →

Project / Worksite Isolation with Construction, Renovation & Maintenance Activities / Quality Control
Once again, the majority of the nation's hospitals are being penalized by Medicare for having patients frequently return within a month of discharge — this time losing a combined $420 million, government records show. In the fourth year of federal readmission penalties, 2,592 hospitals will receive lower payments for every Medicare patient that stays in the hospital, readmitted or not, starting in October. The Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program, created by the Affordable Care Act, was designed to make hospitals pay closer attention to what happens to their patients after they get discharged. Since the fines began, national readmission rates have dropped, but roughly one of every five Medicare patients sent to the hospital ends up returning within a month.

From utopia to reality: Spanish politics and the revolutionary ideas of a newcomer
While in many leading countries around the world like Germany, France and the United States, the conservative and traditional political parties seem to be gaining popularity, in Spain, citizens are asking for the opposite.
With the struggling economy and huge amounts of corruption, people are sick of the traditional political parties and some alternatives have started to rise up.
A clear example is Ada Colau, the new mayor of Barcelona since June 2015. She started her political career collaborating within the organization Platform for People Affected by Mortgages.
PPAM was created in 2009 when there were many evictions due to the mortgage clauses after the 2008 financial crisis when the Spanish property market collapsed.
After this, she decided to run for the mayor of Barcelona and surprisingly won. She is the first woman to take over the office. She comes from an average lower middle-class family, lives in a rented house, moves around the city without a bodyguard and takes the public transport to work.
She rose to power after being voted by the lower class and immigrants. She has created the party "Barcelona en Comú." Her political program was based on a participatory democracy to make Barcelona more impartial and focuses on the lower middle class. The main points in her initial plan included guaranteeing basic social rights, reducing privileges and eliminating projects that do not go towards a common benefit.
These ideas are similar to the Spanish party "Podemos", a left-wing populist party formed by intellectuals like college professors and philosophers that was created to fight unemployment and inequality. In the last elections, they came in third with 20.6 percent of votes, just after the other two main parties who had 28.7 percent and 22 percent. Together they are trying to take control of Spain as a whole.
Now, after eight months, what has been the impact of having a mayor with limited experience and revolutionary ideas? Have all her initial plans been carried out?
Let's go through some of the most impacting proposals that she came up with.
After four years of success, Colau decided not to install the ice-rink in "Plaça Catalonia" this year saying that it was economically and environmentally unsustainable. Instead she introduced some Christmas activities, which unlike the ice-skating were free and therefore affordable for kids of all social classes.
Francesc Sobirana, lawyer at Baixiroca and collaborator in many social causes as a lawyer tells GYV, "The ice-skating rink was had no sense in Barcelona city, there are many other sustainable activities that can define the city in a better way. It would seem incoherent to me if a social and left-wing parliament spent money on this with the context of crisis and inequality that we are living."
Colau also gives importance to the regulation of tourism, as she claims that tourism is getting out of control and affecting the daily lives of locals. To do so, she is reducing the number of permits to build new hotels and other touristic accommodations. Similarly, after they had recently approved a law for shops and businesses to open some Sundays, she decided to take that back, because this only benefits the consumer, especially tourism.
However, tourism is the main economic pillar of Barcelona, and many people who own restaurants, stores and hotels are discontent about this. Elisabeth Roldan, owner of "El Nou Celler" restaurant in the center of the city tells GYV, "with the economic situation that Spain is living, the last thing we need is for tourism to decrease. A great percentage of my clients are tourism while still being able to maintain my local clients, and this city is moved by tourism."
Colau has recently presented a plan to reduce by 14 percent the appearance of advertising platforms around the city arguing that the city suffers from visual contamination. This will result in a reduction of 12 million euros of income for the government. Could you imagine the mayor of New York City trying to reduce the led screens in Times Square?
Another controversial proposal affected the Mobile World Congress (MWC), an international event with great impact. Colau initially said she would not allow the event to take place, refusing to put the money into it. This seemed worrying to some people because this event brings 90,000 visitors, creates 13,000 workplaces and makes Barcelona the center of technology and innovation for some days. Many people say that although having her in power seemed a little risky, she has not carried out all of the plans that she originally made. What has ended up happening with the MWC is that it will start in Barcelona next week and every hotel room in the city is booked.
After all one thing is clear, that fighting against economical power, changing the way of dealing with politics and carrying out certain radical moves is not easy and is still a little far from reality. Colau has three years ahead of her to change things and some say that in this time she will become the first president of the independent country of Catalonia.

Broken Glass, Stolen GPS, and… GadgetTrak
So a few nights ago, here in New Haven, CT, my car was broken into. My front passenger window was smashed, my door dented, and (among other things) my new Garmin GPS was stolen. How mean.
I drive an old Jaguar XJ6, and my GPS was actually in the passenger-side glove box. My new Adidas Superstars were sitting on the back seat, so I'm assuming they were worth breaking my window. And once inside my car, why not look around. And then why not leave my door slightly open, so that once I get back to my car, my battery is dead. Geez, guys.
Anyway, I will get my window replaced this Saturday, and eventually I'll be able to buy back everything that was stolen from me.
For now, I've taken the time to research a little bit. What could I have done differently? One thing I've found online is called GadgetTrak.
GadgetTrak provides proven theft recovery solutions for a wide range of portable devices including cell phones, PDAs, removable media devices (iPods®, Sony PSPs® digital cameras, flash drives, GPS devices) and Apple computers. GadgetTrak can tell where your stolen gadget is, who stole it and even what they're wearing.
If you can connect your device via USB to a computer, you can use GadgetTrak. It's a piece of software that, once your device is connected to a computer, will be triggered to send its whereabouts to your GadgetTrak account. You can then print out this information and present it to your local law enforcement. Then, if they care, you'll be one step closer to getting your stuff back.
When I first noticed my car was broken into, I tried waving down three cop cars. All looked at me, but none stopped. So while those of us in New Haven are probably out of luck in this sort of predicament, it's worth a try for others of you.
Any other tips or ideas? Let me and your fellow HackCollege readers know in the comments.

I have a child (under 10 years old) clinically diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder with Psychotic Features. Her father has schizoaffective disorder and schizophrenia spectrum disorders have a very long and extensive history on his side going back generations. Her therapist and psychiatrist are watching her closely but the general consensus is that it's highly likely her diagnosis will change in a few years, probably to schizoaffective like her father. To make it easier on receiving help, her psychiatrist has given her the bipolar diagnosis for now (insurance refused to cover medication without diagnosis).
She lives in an almost constant state of manic-type behavior (extreme hyperactivity and it's not ADHD. ADHD medications make her positive symptoms and aggression 10000x worse) which we've got mostly stabilized with lithium. Her problem area, however, is her psychotic symptoms. She has positive symptoms (particularly her commanding hallucination Dark Man) and paranoia/delusions, the severity of which fluctuates. Her negative symptoms are a bit more subtle but there. Even with the therapeutic level of lithium and the subsequent stabilization, the psychotic symptoms continue. And they're constant. They've impacted her life at home and school. She has no friends (nor does she want them), isolates herself most of the time, and is having cognitive difficulties in school, likely related to disorganized thought and lack of memory recall as evidenced through her schoolwork and neuropsychological testing (testing done when we originally thought this was ADHD). She's been hospitalized multiple times for behaviors including suicidal and homicidal ones.
We've tried Abilify, Geodon, Risperdal, and currently on Seroquel. We're hesitant to try any more of the atypicals because they just seem to not work. She's on 500mg a day of Seroquel with no sedative effect (which was a reason that one was eventually chosen because she has issues with sleep). Her psychiatrist said we could try Zyprexa but after going through these medications, I'm just not as confident as her.
Any insight or help would be appreciated. We know all we're doing is managing her symptoms so she can have some functionality but we're losing her more and more every day. And as much as I'd rather she not be on them (because I really would like the atypicals to work), I'm wondering if we should begin to consider something like Thorazine.

To improve your bottom-line results e-commerce merchants need to implement a holistic chargeback-management solution that not only prevents chargebacks, but also actively reclaims lost dollars to fraudulent chargebacks. Verifi recommends six best practices for successful chargeback management:
1. Improve Internal Processes
Merchants should optimize several internal processes to minimize chargebacks. For example:
- Gather information you need to build your case when representing chargebacks.
- Improve customer service by making it easier for customers to contact your company. Consider extending hours of operation making it easier to reach a live person by reducing hold times and automated menu options. You don't want customers to get frustrated, hang up and choose to call their issuing bank instead.
- Institute internal fraud monitoring that includes monitoring IP addresses or high-value transactions to prevent fraudulent chargebacks before they occur.
- Use chargeback notifications to learn quickly when a customer is disputing a charge. Notifications enable you to address chargebacks proactively without tightening up fraud control so much that you turn away good customers.
2. Prioritize Which Chargebacks to Fight and Represent
Whatever you do to prevent chargebacks, they will still happen, so you need to identify those that are most worthy of being fought and represented based on the expected ROI. Each dispute takes time and carries a fee from your acquirer. Consider the return on time and money spent and pick your battles carefully.
3. Gather and Analyze Chargeback Data
Monitor your chargebacks and determine where you should take preventive measures. Make sure you separate your initial chargebacks from those that remain after you represent them. You need to understand the "why" behind each chargeback. Why are they occurring? Why aren't you winning them when you represent them? Insights gained help you minimize chargebacks and maximize representment win rates.
4. Make Billing Clear
Some chargebacks occur because customers don't recognize charges they receive. So be as clear as possible and make it easy for the consumer to contact you and jog their memory about a purchase. Include the URL or customer service number in the descriptor field on bills.
5. Fix Problems in Operations
Your chargeback data can be a treasure trove of information about problems in operations. Analyze the chargeback codes you see most frequently and what might cause the problem. For example, perhaps you have a high percentage of chargebacks due to "merchandise not as described." If so, it may indicate your website's product descriptions and images are not descriptive enough. Or, maybe your product quality is not up to consumer expectations.
6. Outsource to the Experts
Chargeback management is time consuming and can divert resources from your core business. To be effective, it takes deep expertise and requires you to keep up on all the latest rules for chargebacks. Many merchants find the best solution is to outsource the task to a third party that's 100 percent focused on chargeback prevention and management. This solution often achieves the highest return on investment, enabling you to reduce risk, be more efficient, and improve your bottom line without the chargeback management headaches.

I don't know how many people here like card games but I thought I'd mention this.
Weib Schwarz: is a Japaneses card game ,like Yugioh or Cardfight Vangaurd (Actually made by the same company as Cardfight, Bushiroad) but the characters in it are pulled right out of popular animes and Video games like Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya , Idolmaster, Neon genesis Evangelion and Angel Beats to name a few.
However the big news is that this game is finally being released in English.
Two starter decks Fate/Zero and Madoka Magica are out.
Like with Cardfight Vangaurd there is no official U.S. release, these are English cards intended for Singapore however places are importing them to the U.S. I've ordered a deck off EBAY, and hope to see EVA and Haruhi cards make the jump to English.
I'd like to see this take off like Cardfight Vanguard has (If any one you are interested in Vangaurd and are on Long Island, there are tournaments at 1pm on Saturdays at Game Table in Mineola)
731 1 7
Sweet I love card games
Dominion is one of my favorites.
I'm generally less of a fan of collector card games, but playing with a cube draft can be a ton of fun since it levels the playing field for people (like me) who aren't as into collecting. I'm guessing you could do something similar (or exactly the same even) with Weib Schwarz.

One of the first things that comes to mind when you mention Sydney is the iconic Bondi Beach – home of the Bondi Rescue lifeguards, the Bondi skate park and the surging clear blue Pacific waters.
It is a hub of culture and diversity, food and music. It is alive and buzzing, day and night, summer and winter, Australia Day or Christmas Day. Your Australian experience could not be complete without a visit to Bondi.
While even on the surface Bondi seems to be overflowing with excitement, when you really delve into its backstreets and 'hole-in-the-wall's, prepare to be even more amazed. A myriad of cuisines, flavours, sounds, styles, personalities and experiences await you…
Eat at…
Brown Sugar
The ultimate day-to-night experience, Brown Sugar is a relaxed contemporary café by day and transforms into a mood-lit modern bistro by night. All its dishes are made with local organic produce, created by uber talented co-owner Neil Gottheiner, who has kitchens the likes of Quay in Sydney and Dal Pescatore in Italy on his CV. No big deal. If you're after food bursting with flavour, look no further than Brown Sugar.
Da Orazio Pizza e Porchetta
It is easy to wander past Da Orazio without even noticing that you have – but be warned, it may be the biggest mistake you ever make. The food and atmosphere at this rustic Hall Street hideaway may well have been sent straight from the streets of Rome itself. Settle into one of their window seats and people watch like a true Italian while you sip a Negroni and munch on an immaculately herbed and spiced porchetta pizza. No QANTAS flight necessary.
North Bondi Fish
Fish are not friends at North Bondi. They are food and they are delicious – and they come with a spectacular panoramic view of Bondi Beach. Savour clean modern flavours paired with fresh market fish in dozens of ways. Don't pass up the chance to eat at Matt Moran and Bruce Solomon's masterpiece.
Bondi Hardware
You didn't misread – this SoCal global share-style restaurant did indeed used to be a hardware store. But it so works. The menu has been entirely constructed by head chef Pia Papenfuss with organic, hearty, flavoursome meals made for sharing between a group; think sliders, lamb salads, hot wings, steak tacos…is your mouth watering yet? If you're still not convinced, the inspired cocktail menu makes for a night of adventure, with good food and good company – make sure you try the Fresh Prince of Bel Air!
China Diner
A multicultural dining experience is not complete without spectacular Chinese food, and China Diner is your one-stop shop for exactly that. Serving traditional Chinese and East Asian food with a modern twist, China Diner boasts a moody ambience to set the tone for an experience like no other. Eat your veggies, because China Diner does them best.
bRU Coffee
Indulging in a good breakfast doesn't have to make you feel guilty. If you want to skip the hotcakes drowning in maple syrup and opt for a meal good for your tastebuds and your tummy, bRU is the perfect spot. Juices, smoothies, quinoa porridge, bircher muesli and their famous gozleme make up bRU's mouthwatering menu. Start your day with a bang.
BondiTony's Rock and Roll Burger Joint, decked out in band posters, classic vinyls and rock memorabilia, sells probably one of the best burgers you will ever eat. Their meat is locally sourced, free range and cooked to perfection, and combined with their housemade sauces, aiolis and salads to create burger heaven. Head down for a late night snack and beer, or sit out in the sun and people watch with their classic COG burger and a thickshake for company.
Hydrate at…
Pressed Juices
The juice craze will not be conquered! Any Sydneysider knows you can easily follow a trail of pressed juice madness along the coastline of the Eastern suburbs, and where better to start than the king of the coastline itself: Bondi. Pressed Juices is just steps from the beach and stocks dozens of flavours of freshly-pressed, ice cold juice ready for you to stock up on and continue o your coastal walk. Hit up Cali Press in Bronte and Coogee next.
Lox Stock and Barrel
Lox Stock and Barrel is known about town for its excellent coffee – and if you're not a traditionalist, the Honeycomb Blend is a must-have. Its expansive drinks menu includes cold drips, organic chais, teas and hot chocolates, kombucha, shakes, smoothies, and a wacky, coffee-inspired cocktail menu. Day or night, Lox Stack and Barrel is an adventure for the senses.
Socialise at…
The Bucket List
The local haunt for eighteen to twenty-somethings all around the Eastern suburbs, The Bucket List is the place to see and be seen. It is situated nearly on top of Bondi Beach, decked out in true European summer style, where you can party til the sun comes up (open to Mike Baird's interpretation) and indulge in exotic cocktails by the jug or by the glass. Head down Friday nights for live band music or Sundays for a beach club that will remind you of Tropicana and Ushuaia.
Icebergs Dining Room and Bar
Not much needs to be said about this Italian-style venue, renowned for its effortless glamour, stylish clientele and breathtaking panoramas of the Pacific. Visit for a drink and a bite, or simply admire its clear ice blue pools looking out onto the ocean as you pass on your coastal walk.
This laidback diner-style restaurant oozes effortless cool; there's no need for fancy dishes or extravagant designs when your food and drink speak for themselves. Neighbourhood is the perfect spot to satisfy your carnivorous cravings – whether you go for a steak, a cheeseburger or BBQ wings – and don't miss out on their self-proclaimed legendary Jaffles either. Pair your dish with a pick off their adventurous cocktail menu and this'll be an experience to talk about for weeks.
Shop with…
Westfield Bondi Junction
While Bondi offers its own street boutique experience, Bondi Junction combines food, shopping, entertainment and convenience all in one huge, rabbit-warren-like package. You haven't truly experienced Bondi shopping until you've gotten lost inside the Junction and accidentally ended up in the David Jones Food Hall – whatever will you do now?! From Target to Chanel, Coles to Harris Farm, Priceline to Mecca Cosmetica, Westfield Bondi provides a shopping hub for every need, budget and style.
To get that effortless 'Bondi cool' style, look no further than Carousel. Stocking accessory, shoe, homeware and clothing brands both locally and internationally, Carousel have curated a beautiful range of pieces that help define Bondi lifestyle and fashion. Whether you're shopping for the beachwear or party-wear, don't forget to shop at Carousel.

Academy Brand is your one stop for timeless, classic, superior-crafted menswear. With simple, wearable designs in top quality lightweight fabrics, The Academy Brand's lines are perfect for a summer on the beach and can be transitioned from day to night and season to season. Find them on Bondi Beach or while gallivanting through Westfield Bondi Junction.
If you're looking to splurge on beautiful, high quality designs from around Australia and the world, look no further than Tuchuzy. Stocking lauded brands like Rag & Bone, Alexander Wang and Helmut Lang, it's even still worth a look in to admire their curation of designer pieces if you're not yet ready to stretch your budget. Head here to spend on a pair of Bassike jeans that will be your staple for years, or that Bec & Bridge number you've been eyeing off for your next evening shindig.
Bondi Bather
Bondi culture of course isn't complete without its dedication to beautiful swimwear. Leave it to the Bondi locals to make you feel instantly dissatisfied with your new Seafolly purchase while they parade around in their local brands and unique pieces. The only option in this case is to conform. And there is no better place to give in to peer pressure than Bondi Bather. This Bondi-based label is dedicated to pieces specially designed for the Bondi lifestyle – the sun, the style, the need for comfort and versatility, and of course the need to get your hands on a near one of a kind.

Choose between our homemade salted caramel, choc fudge, berry vanilla or tropical mango sauces, add some delicious toppings and you are in Cocowhip heaven. @cocowhip #cocowhip #coconuticecream #vegan #thehealthemporium #healthemporiumlove
Bondi Golf Club
For nine holes of golf, 180 degrees of spectacular views and thousands of years of history, get yourself to Bondi Golf Club. The course is just a five-minute walk from the beach and is situated on an ancient Aboriginal ceremonial ground and whale watching site. Visitors can still see the stone etchings left by the Kamilaroi tribes thousands of years ago on the flat rocks facing towards the Pacific Ocean, near what is now the golf course's fifth hole. Even if you're not a golfer, it's worth a visit to Bondi Golf Club for a drink and an explore.
MacKenzie's Bay
If you're someone who gets a thrill out of exclusivity and uniqueness, there may be no place better suited for you than Mackenzie's Bay, a tiny inlet nestled between Bondi Beach and Tamarama. Known as Sydney's 'secret beach', the sand bank 'beach' at Mackenzie's Bay mysteriously disappears every seven to ten years, only to reappear again for an unknown time period, usually looking quite different in size and shape than it did before. There's no telling how long this decade's version of Mackenzie's Bay beach will last, so make the most of it while you can – and of course make sure everyone knows you were one of the only people to check it out.

Burden of dementia patients supporters
The number of dotards over 65 years old based on 2014 in Korea was 610,000 persons, that is, 1 person out of 10 persons. The problem is the family who looks after dementia patients. According to the statistics of health insurance medical expenses in 2013 of Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service, the medical expenses of dementia patients were 646,200,000,000 won, which was highest. The National Medical Dementia Center of Korea figures out those medical expenses born by family per 1 dementia patient are 18,920,000 won. The 62% of dementia patient's supporters have a mild depressive disorder, and 20% are receiving psychotherapy. The trouble of the family where a dementia patient exists often leads to a tragedy. As an example, in Dec, 2012, the incident that the grandmother in her seventies attempted to kill her husband who was sleeping at the room by hammering his head several times happened [1]. The grandmother who devotedly had cared for her husband for 5 years confessed, "It was too difficult to live with her dementia husband."
Types of dementia
Alzheimer type dementia: As a dementia which happens before the age of 65, it is characterized by that the normal cognitive ability gets damaged besides the severe memory impairment. The only symptom at its early stage is memory impairment, and then impairment happens in memory, judgment, abstract thinking and personality. In the end, at the end of dementia, the patient becomes a vegetative state, the ability of a brain to control physical function is lost, and he or she dies [2]. It is considered that it is impossible to treat the patient.
Multiple cerebral infarction dementias: Unlike Alzheimer Type Dementia, it occurs suddenly and a stroke is frequently experienced over once before dementia emerges. Due to the repetitive stroke, infarction happens on some regions of the brain, which brings about the cognitive impairment. The process of dementia is not constant, so some cognitive functions are affected. However, others are not relatively damaged. At the early stage of dementia, the minor physical symptoms such as headache, dizziness, weakness and fatigue appear, however, the cognitive function gradually declines from this point of time, and when it reaches the final stage, the symptoms similar to Alzheimer Type Dementia appear.
Symptoms and treatment of dementia
Dementia symptoms: The symptom of cognitive impairment appears.
The phenomena of degradation in memory, learning ability, language function, problem-solving ability, orientation, attention and concentration, judgment, time and space perception ability and social ability occur.
Personality disorder appear as a neuropsychiatric symptom.
The symptoms of depression, aggression, lethargy, indifference, self-centered behavior, anxiety, frustration, delinquency, paranoia, hallucination and delusion, delusional disorder, and insomnia appear.
There is a phenomenon of functional ability impairment.
As the coordination and skills of motor gradually get deteriorated, the physical activities of daily living, the instrumental activities of daily living and protection ability decline [3].
Treatment of dementia: Although many regions which cause dementia get stagnant or develop gradually, many ones may be left dementia status permanently. However, some can be recovered as they are reversible. Of those who suffer from dementia, if they are effectively treated, 35~50% of them may be completely healed, and their symptoms may be improved. In the end, they may recover the living ability. Recently, the symptoms of dementia can be much improved due to new therapy methods and medication, however, the brain cells which have been already damaged can't be recovered. Therefore, it can be said that there is no perfect treatment on dementia itself yet. Instead, it seems that the continuous management of hypertension and stroke, which are the main causes of dementia and the active prevention of dementia, would be important.
The present situation of dotards: It was revealed that the absolute number and incidence rate of dementia get higher with the age increase, and especially that its incidence rate increases rapidly after eighties. In the case of Korea, it is estimated that the number of dotards would be about 313,000, 8.3% of the elderly population of age 65 in 2002, and that as for the level of dementia, 185,000 patients fall under a mild case, 87,000 ones do under an intermediate case, and 41,000 ones do under a severe case (Korea Institute for Health & Social Affairs, 1997). It is expected that as the average life span of the elderly is likely to increase in the future, the prevalence rate of senile dementia will increase from 8.6% in 2010 to 9.0% in 2020, and that the number of dotards will do from 455,000 to 690,000. However, as the prevalence rate of senile dementia reported up to now is so varied depending on the researchers, it is considered that the epidemiological investigation of the incidence rate of dementia should be systematically done in the future (Table 1).
|Numberofelders of 65 and over
|Number of Dotards(thousand)
|Dementia Prevalence Rate(%)
Table 1: Estimation of Number of Dotards in Korea.
The dotard family in Korea has some structural characteristics compared to the general elderly family. First, the dotard family is larger in size, compared to the general elderly family. That is, though the number of average household members of general elderly family over 60 years old in Korea gradually shows a tendency to reduce, that of average cohabiting family members of a dotard assumes the aspect that is relatively more [5]. Second, as for family type, in the case of general elderly family, the traditional family type of immediate family is largely maintained, however, the nuclear family type of single, couple family reaches 41%.
The dotard family shows structural characteristics that a proportion of an immediate family is higher than general elderly family, but that of nuclear family is relatively lower. Third, another characteristic of the dotard family is that collateral family where dotards cohabit with the family of their daughters is more, compared with general elderly family. It seems that this aspect comes from the result that dotards want to be cared by their daughters rather than daughters-in-law whom they have no attachment to.
The present situation of support burden of dotards
As it is shown in Table 2, though the prospect of dotards is not good, it can be known that the will to support them is high. That is, the case that we will support them within a family was 77.7%, especially, the item of (We'll continue to support them at home where we are supporting them now) showed a high figure. Also, the case that the family wants free or charged elderly facilities showed a lower proportion than the case that they want the protection within a family. Through this, it can be known that the reason that the family wants a support within it accepting the burden is that there still exists repulsion or fear of the facilities or that it thinks that the support is a natural duty of children to parents. Also, it feels the fear of the criticism which might come from a society if it does not support dotards [6].

Table 2: Plan of Support Burden According to Future Prospect of Dementia.
As a result of examining the subjects whom patients live with, family including sons, daughters, spouses and relatives was highest (62.8%). Besides that, the subjects who lived alone and those who have entered the facilities accounted for very low proportion, compared with those who lived with family. As a result of examining the subjects who looked after the patients, it was revealed that the family (son, daughter, daughter-in-law, spouse, and relatives) was supporting them (55.8%). However, the proportion that nursing was asked to care-givers and others besides the family was very low (Table 3).

Support burden of dotard family in Korea
The 10% of the elderly population, that is, about 300,000 people are dotards, thus it is estimated that the population who suffers from dementia is about 1,200,000, the number of the dotards multiplied by their families. In Korea, due to the lack of welfare measures on dementia patients, the main supporters of them are spouses, daughters-in-law, and daughters, which is over 95%. However, while the problem of dementia gets bigger, the capacity that the elderly can be supported within a family is being deteriorated due to the breakup of traditional family structure and the increase in female workforce. In addition, as the social status of women gets improved, the recognition that it is not desirable to solve dementia problem by family unit by forcing the sacrifice of the women who have supported dotards whether voluntarily or reluctantly not is winning significant sympathy. Examining the content of support burden which a dotard family experiences universally, it is as follows:
A limitation on social activities: It is a burden perceived due to the time restriction of the supporters. They consume the time and energy for dotards who have no ability to perform the daily life. If the elders get frustrated and wander as the dementia gets worse. The supporters should enhance the wariness [7]. As a result, they are under much restriction on the contact with social relationship network and social activities, so these wariness and responsibility work as stress to them. However, they come to feel restricted or confined when they can't do what they want to do rather than the fact that they are taking part in the supporting role which they don't want to do.
The negative change in the elderly and family relationship: While the relationship among family members due to dotards remains positive, most of them come to have a negative relationship. As the symptom of dotards gets worse, the supporters gradually feel separated from the life which has been helped and shared. Thus, the relationship between dotards and main supporter's changes from mutual one before the disease to one-sided one, so there would be difficulty in readjustment of relationship according to the role reversal. For example, they show temper or anger to the elders, and they avoid or feel ill at ease with their behaviours.
Conflict in Family Relationship: The difficult situation of supporting dotards leads to the conflict among family members, which aggravates the support burden [8].
The conflict in a family happens in the following cases.
First, it happens when there is no adequate adjustment of the role, time and resources among family members when a dotard happens in their family.
Second, it happens when there is difference in opinion among family members on the judgement of the level of dementia, the attitude towards dotards, and the support strategy.
Psychological Burden: As a result of supporting dotards, there are many cases that the supporters are negatively affected in their psychological wellbeing state. Supporting the dotards, they come to have anxiety and fear on their own image that they get nervous or irritated supporting them and come to quarrel with their family due to that, how to support the elderly and the future of their own and the elderly, which brings about depression. And, with the thought that they haven't treated the elderly well, and that they can't take care of the elderly, they feel guilty and they come to bear the psychological burden on their environmental change due to the change of the elderly.

Petrol giants say they have enough fuel supplies and contingency plans, as petroleum industry workers go on strike today.
Chemical Energy Paper Printing Wood and Allied Workers Union (Ceppwawu) announced that members would go on strike after the wage negotiations broke down.
Bonang Mohale Chairman and GM of Shell South Africa Energy (Pty) Limited and Shashi Rabbipal Chairperson of Chevron South Africa talk to Kieno Kammies about contingency plans.
Mohale says they are urgently trying to resume the talks.
The motorists have nothing to fear at the moment...even if there is a strike that last two, three, four weeks, there will still be more than enough fuel to go around.— Bonang Mohale Chairman and GM of Shell South Africa Energy (Pty) Limited
Shashi Rabbipal, Chairperson of Chevron South Africa, confirmed that they were notified of Ceppwawu's intention to strike from 6am this morning.
We have continued to put contingency plans in place to ensure we have adequate supplies of fuel and related products.— Shashi Rabbipal Chairperson of Chevron South Africa.
Rabbipal says they anticipate their refineries will run as normal and will not experience any delivery issues. He says the drivers are not affiliated to the union.
Mohale says the adversarial relationship with the union is not good for an economy already "in tatters", and they are committed to finding constructive ways of working together.

Fixing the Broken Nightingale
02 Mar 2015
- Fixing the Broken Nightingale
- By: Richard James Allen
- Publisher: Australian Poetry
Like a nightingale, Allen's latest collection is small, delicate, and full of song. Some poems are fragile, some are witty, others sarcastic, and still others carry with them a sense of resignation.
This collection has an arc – a journey all of its own – bookended by a prologue and an epilogue that speak directly to the reader. In five distinct sections, Allen takes us through the everyday and the extraordinary, the public and the private, the things said and those left unsaid as he explores the light and shade of life – be it life exposed as in 'Surry Hills Hip Hop' or life in the shadows as in his touching 'My Mother's Home'. Each section is markedly different in tone. The first has a strong, rhythmic heartbeat while the next is lyrical, its poems almost floating off their pages. A later section is possessed by the haunting strains of death and resignation. However, time and inevitability ripple throughout.
As Allen tells us in his prologue
It doesn't matter how the poem is reaching you –
if it is reaching you
Richard James Allen graduated from UTS in 2005, winning the Chancellor's Award for the most outstanding doctoral thesis. Fixing the Broken Nightingale is his 10th collection of poems.

Colouring for Mindfulness
As part of a creative project for, believe it or not, a change management course, I digitally rotoscoped (it means turning a photograph into a line drawing, or a piece of film into a line-drawing animation – think A Scanner Darkly) and then coloured in a series of photographs.I'm not sure it achieve the intended objective for the course (increased ecological awareness), but it was an interesting exercise in mindfulness.
And for those who are interested, I'll put the uncoloured images up for download.
Feel free to print & colour them, but please don't sell them or print them on anything and sell that without contacting me first to check. They are my artwork, after all. 🙂

Bach's Christmas Vespers 1723
Tickets available via: https://secure.sjss.org.uk/start.php?showid=4317
Returning to the 28th annual St John's, Smith Square Christmas Festival, Oxford Baroque present a unique, historically informed recreation of the first performance of J.S. Bach's festive Magnificat.
Composed for the Christmas Day Vespers of 1723 at the Thomaskirche in Leipzig, it would have featured significantly as part of the liturgical music for the service. Drawing together information relating to the contemporary liturgy and knowledge we have of the other music performed there by Bach, this performance invites the listener to hear Bach's exuberant masterpiece alongside the beuatiful chant propers and polyphony of the stile antico, in the context for which it was originally intended. The programme also features a magnificent cantata by Johann Kuhnau, Bach's predecessor in Leipzig, formerly mistakenly attributed to Bach as Cantata 142.

Our newest national ministry partner is an evangelical denomination in Nigeria comprised of 32 churches and 64 pastors and evangelists in one of the most dangerous places in the world for followers of Jesus.
Today there are roughly 183 million people living in Nigeria. Out of that population 89 million are identified as Christians. According to the World Watch List 2015 report released by Open Doors International, at least 4,344 Christians were killed and 1,062 Christian churches attacked from Nov. 1, 2013 to Oct. 31, 2014. It is estimated that 10 Christians are killed for their faith every day. You may be surprised to know that the number of Christians killed in 2014 was double that of the previous year. Nigeria ranked in the top ten worst persecuted countries in the world.
There is no doubt our Christian brothers and sisters living in Nigeria are facing one of the most violent and brutal periods of persecution in history. The Islamic terror group Boko Haram continues to terrorize the region as they seek to establish an Islamic caliphate in Nigeria, across Africa, and then the world. The driving goal of their depraved campaign is to purge the nations of non-Muslims and western influence — and their biggest target is disciples of Jesus Christ.
This is the environment and atmosphere in which our partner churches are sowing seeds of the Gospel. 19 out of the 32 churches are located in northeastern Nigeria, where Boko Haram is strongest and is carrying out horrific acts of persecution on Christians. Through reliance on the mighty power availed to us in Christ, these churches are equipping and training pastors and evangelists to minister to the Body of Christ and to reach the lost at a time of critical need. This denomination of churches is overseen by a council of ministers whose leader personally shepherds one of the congregations.
The leader of the council realizes the physical threat believers face each time they gather on Sunday, yet he witnesses that they will not stop coming to worship Jesus and entering into the House of the Lord. He shared recently, "They ask themselves, "Will this be my last day on earth, as I go to worship God? That is the situation Christians here are facing. To proclaim: I am not scared of anyone who can kill this flesh, because they cannot touch my spirit. We go to visit the churches that are in turmoil, even though we are at risk of being killed. We go to them to encourage them, not to become weary or scared. When they see us, the congregations, they feel revived. So, we have no doubt that our Savior is there for us at all times."
In the first three months of 2015, eight members of this group of churches were martyred – literally burned alive – and one evangelist was martyred in a drive-by shooting (all at the hand of Boko Haram) leaving 24 children missing at least one parent.
Please hold up our brothers and sisters in Nigeria in prayer, and especially the families of the martyrs there.

Plans to expand the teaching of Gaelic in Edinburgh's secondary schools are set to be put on hold.
The city council is currently conducting a review following a rapid increase in the number of pupils wanting to study the language.
And it had planned to move specialist Gaelic classes from James Gillespie's - where the school roll is currently at its 1150 capacity - to the new Tynecastle High.

Measure the length of all of the pipes you plan to insulate and write down the total length. Also note the widths, or diameter, of the pipes you will be insulating. Typically, the standard diameter sizes for house pipes are 3/4 inch and 1 inch.
Count the total number of pipe elbows or joints you need to insulate. Write this number down.
Determine the type of pipe insulation you want to use. Foam insulation that wraps snugly around pipes is the most popular and cost-efficient type of pipe insulation on the market. It is typically sold in 6-foot lengths that cost approximately $2. 3/4-inch diameter insulation usually runs about 10 to 20 cents less than 1-inch diameter insulation. For estimating purposes though, round up to $2 per 6-foot length to cover both diameter sizes. Foam elbows, used to insulate U-curves in plumbing and pipes, cost approximately $1 to $1.50 each.
Multiply the total footage of pipe you intend to cover by $2.
Multiply the total number of insulated elbows you will need times $1.50 (or you can round up to $2 each just to be on the safe side).
Add these two totals up and it will give you an approximate value for the insulation costs for your specific job.

The tech-savvy James Cameron film, Avatar (2009) illustrates the developing 'Bollywoodization' that is currently surfacing in the North American film market. Through the incorporation of "ancient Hindu concepts (p. 311, 2010)" as Shaefer and Karan write, Cameron's $2.7 billion earning film can be judged as borrowing cultural elements from Indian mythology. Cameron's acknowledgement of such "overt Indian influences (p. 312, 2010)" highlights the expanding prominence that 'Bollywoodism' is having in North American media. However, the question remains that is this example of 'cultural borrowing' a suitable incidence of cross-cultural interaction, or an exploitation that damages cultural integrity?
After India's economic liberalisation that occurred in 1991, Shaefer and Karan note that there was an "emergence of a global network of formal and informal channels (p. 312, 2010)" that served to popularise Hindi films. Ergo, the Hindi cinema underwent notable modifications in regards to how it was incorporated in global media. Through 'Bollywoodization,' incorporating such Hindi cultural elements was "absorbed into the conglomerate multicultural marketing toolkit (p.314, 2010)," and thus, prompts us to consider the appropriate 'mergence' of cultural identities in the global cinema.
This is specifically seen in the 'mislabelling' of Indian cinema as evinced from the British film Slumdog Millionaire. While it was widely perceived to be a 'Bollywood' film, audiences were wrongfully encouraged to link Western and Indian cultural values, which ultimately distorted prominent features of Indian cinema. As mentioned by Kaur and Sinha, the popularisation of Indian cinema through globalisation has induced the "proliferation and fragmentation of its fantasy space" for its "narrative and spectacle" create "diverse fantasies for diasporic communities (p. 15, 2005)." Ergo, these 'modifications' that Indian cinema underwent, has ultimately threatened the representation of their culture through Westernised productions.
Ravi Vasudevan astutely noted, "Bollywood cinema indicates the crossing of borders (2010, Vasudevan)." This statement most assuredly can be applied to facets of Cameron's positive promotion of Hindi culture in global media as seen through Avatar. By drawing from the Ramayana storyline, elevating religious figures and promoting the 'darshan' outlook in Hinduism, Cameron aptly incorporated cross-cultural representation into the global cinema.
Additionally, Disney's Brother Bear released in 2003 explores the Hindu notion of rebirth and karma as shown through the main character Kenai. Long story short, Kenai is transformed into a bear in order to enhance his perspective through his 'rebirth' as an animal. Praised for its "spiritual elements ," (Hawthorne, 2015) this example also reinforces the range of audiences that Bollywoodism is now reaching, for even children are being exposed to international cultures through cinematic measures.
Through such inclusions of Hindi concepts, we can agree that the globalisation of cinema is undoubtedly not slowing down. As mentioned in Bollywood and Globalisation, "from 2007 onwards, erratic yet promising alliances with Hollywood have surfaced (p. 13, 2011)." As evinced from such high grossing films such as Slumdog Millionaire and Avatar, the rising reputation of Asian film industries will continually challenge the hierarchy of the global filmmaking business. Even more so, challenge the content of what is portrayed. Kaur and Sinha have remarked that Hollywood "pushes world cultures towards homogenisation (p. 15, 2005)" which suggests that the integration of cultures is imperative for sustaining an appropriate cultural awareness in global media. Ergo the Indian film industry has the ability to flourish in its cinematic contra-flows, but the means in which it is done can ultimately nurture or deform the collective comprehension of their culture.
