Portfolio Strategy
Portfolio Strategy
A growing number of urban districts including New York City, New Orleans, Chicago, Denver, Hartford, and Baltimore are pursuing the portfolio strategy. The portfolio strategy is a continuous improvement model for districts that aims to dramatically affect student outcomes at scale. The strategy, built around 7 key components, creates diverse options for families in disadvantaged neighborhoods by opening new high-performing, autonomous schools; giving all schools control of budgeting and hiring; and holding schools accountable to common performance standards.
CRPE's portfolio work includes:
- The Portfolio School District Network
- Support services for individual districts that are considering the portfolio strategy
- Research and formative evaluations of portfolio districts
- The Evidence Project
- Portfolio 101 Leadership Training
- Portfolio Officer Institute

The Big Step Up
A small shop added two new machines, each of which is more advanced than any of the previous machine tools the company has used. One of the co-owners committed to the work of bringing both of these machines fully into service. Here is the shop's exp...
Savings from Sustainability
A project aimed at energy-efficient machining delivered production efficiencies, too.
Consistency Is Key to Titanium
An important part of this shop's successful approach to titanium machining is a toolpath strategy that keeps the load on the cutter constant. Another important element is the way this shop captures and reapplies what it learns about how effective it...
Considerations for Machining Exotics
In manufacturing, the term "exotic" is used to describe materials that display excellent wear characteristics, durability and service life in high heat, extreme cold or corrosive environments.
Lean from the Beginning
How would you design a new plant if you could begin today? Rolls-Royce Crosspointe is a major manufacturing site that was planned from the outset with the expectation that continuous improvement would always be part of its culture.
A Systems Approach for Successful Titanium Machining
Coolant delivery, spindle connection and dynamic response all are part of a tooling formula for milling this metal productively.
Advancing Manufacturing, Tomorrow and Today
A drilling solution improves the production of a component that is critical for correcting spinal disorders. Meanwhile, an apprenticeship program ensures that improvements like this one can continue into the future.
A Model Machine for Titanium
Researchers develop a machine tool that controls vibration to mill titanium more productively. The machine relies on guideway systems delivering stiffness that is literally infinite.
How Effective is MQL for Drilling Titanium/Aluminum Stacks?
Titanium expert Mark Larson describes how coolant properties affect the cut. MQL might work, but water-based coolant is typically best in titanium.
Tool-Related Considerations for More Efficient Machining of Titanium
The expert in our Titanium Machining Zone offers advice related to coolants and coatings.

The September 18 Emmys are still a long time away, but the nominations were announced last night. Here's our expert analysis on who will win, who should win, and who got snubbed.
Boardwalk Empire
Friday Night Lights
Game of Thrones
The Good Wife
Mad Men
Who Will Win: Mad Men. This is there year to break through the Breaking Bad wall. Boardwalk has a strong chance as well, but I think the boys at SCDP are going to be happy come Emmy night.
Who Should Win: Friday Night Lights. The final season of FNL was not its best (season 1 or 4), but was still very good, and getting a symbolic win in its last season would be great to see. Don't hold your breath though.
Who Was Snubbed: Justified. Seriously, how was this show forgotten?
Big Bang Theory
Modern Family
The Office
30 Rock
Parks and Recreation
Who Will Win: Too Close to Call. This is a really tight category, where any of these shows could take the statue, but…
Who Should Win: Parks and Recreation. Hands down the funniest show with the best cast. The show went nuts this year, with no weak episodes, and if it doesn't win, I'll go on a hunger strike (or probably just be mad for a few days).
Who Was Snubbed: Community. The show had a few brilliant episodes this season, including a few that were light on the wacky humor that helped build the shows fanbase, but heavy on tremendously done storytelling. A shame it didn't get a nod.
Timothy Olyphant, Justified
Steve Buscemi, Boardwalk Empire
Kyle Chandler, Friday Night Lights
Michael C. Hall, Dexter
Jon Hamm, Mad Men
Hugh Laurie, House
Who Will Win: Jon Hamm. It's his year to hold the statue before Cranston comes back. And honestly, if you saw the episode "The Suitcase," you'll have no problem agreeing with me.
Who Should Win: Kyle Chandler. Like FNL in the Drama Series category, this would be symbolic, though Chandler was pitch perfect in his final season as Coach Taylor, and deserves it outright.
Who Was Snubbed: This category is surprisingly tight. Not much you can argue here.
Connie Britton, Friday Night Lights
Julianna Margulies, The Good Wife
Kathy Bates, Harry's Law
Mariska Hargitay, SVU
Mirelle Enos, The Killing
Elisabeth Moss, Mad Men
Who Will Win: Elisabeth Moss. If you saw Hamm in "The Suitcase," you know Moss deserves an Emmy for her work too. She's past due, and this will be her year.
Who Should Win: Connie Britton. If I had a vote, I'd vote for Moss, but Britton spent five years doing phenomenal work as Tammy Taylor, and it's sad to see her come away from it all empty handed.
Who Was Snubbed: January Jones, Mad Men. I'm not the biggest January Jones fan, and Betty didn't have much to do this season, but when she was on screen, the whole mood of the scene changed. Betty was fascinating to watch this year, thanks in large part to Jones.
Edie Falco, Nurse Jackie
Tina Fey, 30 Rock
Laura Linney, The Big C
Melissa McCarthy, Mike & Molly
Martha Plimpton, Raising Hope
Amy Poehler, Parks & Recreation
Who Will Win: Amy Poehler. Tina Fey might surprise, but I think this is Poehler's year. She was very good all season, and I think that will be hard to ignore.
Who Should Win: Amy Poehler. Seriously. She was great.
Who Was Snubbed: Alison Brie, Community. Annie is one of the sweeter, more fun characters on TV right now. Just watch her try and be someone else in the bar night episode, you'll see what I mean.
Alec Baldwin, 30 Rock
Matt LeBlanc, Episodes
Jim Parsons, The Big Bang Theory
Steve Carell, The Office
Johnny Galecki, The Big Bang Theory
Louie C.K., Louie
Who Will Win: Steve Carell. He hasn't won an Emmy yet for playing his most iconic roll, and this is the last chance. Voters won't forget that.
Who Should Win: Louie C.K. It seems like an odd nomination, but it's sort of Louie's consolation prize.
Who Was Snubbed: Joel McHale, Community. The longer he's on Community, the better he's getting.
Chris Colfer, Glee
Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Modern Family
Ed O'Neill, Modern Family
Eric Stonestreet, Modern Family
Ty Burrell, Modern Family
Jon Cryer, Two and a Half Men
Who Will Win: Ty Burrell. It's gotta be someone from Modern Family, and it might as well be the most consistently funny.
Who Should Win: If not Burrell, Eric Stonestreet. After Phil, Cam is among the funniest characters on TV.
Who Was Snubbed: A long list here, including Danny Pudi, Aziz Ansari, Nick Offerman, Rainn Wilson, all of whom did fantastic work this season on shows that were not Modern Family.
Peter Dinklage, Game of Thrones
Josh Charles, The Good Wife
Alan Cumming, The Good Wife
Walton Goggins, Justified
John Slattery, Mad Men
Andre Braugher, Men of a Certain Age
Who Will Win: John Slattery. Like I said, it's Mad Men's year to break through the Breaking Bad wall.
Who Should Win: Walter Goggins or Peter Dinklage. Both were fantastic, but will certainly be forgotten come voting time.
Who Was Snubbed: Not to bring in more Mad Men, but the more the show has gone on the more I like Vincent Kartheiser as Pete, who has yet to get a nomination.
Jane Lynch, Glee
Betty White, Hot in Cleveland
Julie Bowen, Modern Family
Sofia Vergara, Modern Family
Kristen Wiig, Saturday Night Live
Jane Krakowski, 30 Rock
Who Will Win: Kristen Wiig. This will be her anointment into stardom, much the same way Tina Fey (and hopefully Amy Pohler) got her first Emmy en route to a successful movie career. She deserves it too.
Who Should Win: Julie Bowen. Claire isn't a likable character without her.
Who Was Snubbed: Rashida Jones, Parks and Recreation. Poor, beautiful Anne.
Archie Panjabi, The Good Wife
Kelly Macdonald, Boardwalk Empire
Christine Baranski, The Good Wife
Margo Martindale, Justified
Michelle Forbes, The Killing
Christina Hendricks, Mad Men
Who Will Win: Christina Hendricks. This is a really tight category full of deserving actresses, but she'll have the Mad Men luck behind her.
Who Should Win: Margo Martindale. If you've watched Justified, you know why.
Who Was Snubbed: No one here. Fantastic group of actresses.

Indian and Himalayan Art Portrait of an African Official Made in Ahmadnagar, Maharashtra, Deccan, India, Asiac. 1610-20 Artist/maker unknown, India Opaque watercolor and gold on paper Currently not on view 1998-115-1 Gift of Dr. Alvin O. Bellak, 1998 |
LabelLongstanding and extensive commerce, controlled primarily by rulers on the Deccan plateau, took place between India and Africa's east coast. This portrait of a dark-skinned man in formal court attire may be Malik Ambar, a famous African slave turned powerful Deccani warrior and statesman. Although the Mughals captured the capital of the Ahmadnagar Sultanate in 1600, Malik Ambar soon won back all of its territories, and by 1620 he was powerful enough to threaten the Mughals deep inside their vast empire. The peculiar way of looping the sash over the waist-hung purse or penbox is characteristic of Ahmadnagar portraits. The outer border is not original, and the name written on it in nagari script is otherwise unknown. |

Is there another way of saying something is 'user-unfriendly'?
The direct antonym of user-friendly is user-hostile (urban dictionary), a word used frequently amongst those in the user experience fields:
| |||||||||||||||||
A couple options: | |||||||||||||||||||||
Unwieldy implies that something is difficult to control, and can be applied to computer user-interfaces or physical devices. | ||||
A couple of other words that might be appropriate:
| |||||||||
If there are accessibility issues, you might call it inaccessible | ||||
I would go with 'unfriendly'. The 'user' part is redundant, particularly in the case of software. In fact uses of it outside the scope of software are really "loans" of the term. In any case I would argue that most synonyms of "unfriendly" don't convey the same precision, and have fundamentally different meanings. Software can be "unfriendly" because it's cumbersome (it takes too many gestures to acomplish a task) even if it's easy to use (it's always obvious what the right gesture is). Similarly words like "complex", "slow", "ugly", "poorly designed", "unintuitive" etc all cary degrees of precision that are either more or less precise than "unfriendly". So, I think "unfriendly" really is the best choice when you want to convey a "general defect in the usability or character of an interface". The alternatives almost always convey something fundamentally different. | |||||||||
I often like to suggest that the interfaces of non-linux OSs are counterintuitive. or -EDIT- While I was typing this, someone suggested clunky Which is a great answer. | |||||
The best real life description of a poor user interface I ever heard was "As user friendly as a cornered rat". | |||
For the specific case of software, I'm a huge fan of the expression usability-free, though it should only be used in snark-appropriate contexts. | |||
In severe cases you can just say that a device (or the interface of a device) is "unusable." | |||
There are already some great answers but I would add another option I've seen for when it's not obvious how to use something: "opaque". | |||
I think the word obtuse is also used to mean user-unfriendly. | |||
Often I find the antonym for user-friendly is the word cryptic, although it may be too specific in some cases. I can see situations where a very graphical interface is wholly unintuitive but not necessarily cryptic—just lousy. | ||||

COLCHESTER — Two year after Lake Champlain flooding destroyed part of it, the Colchester Causeway recreational path has been restored for bicyclists, runners, walkers and fishermen.
The Colchester Causeway, along with a stretch to the north in South Hero, is a five-mile, unpaved northern portion of Island Line Trail. It connects to the south to Colchester's Airport Park and the 7.5-mile paved Burlington Bike Path.
The Burlington Free Press reported that restoration work took place last year from May to October and cost $500,000.
Seventy-five percent of the money to repair the causeway came from federal funds and 15 percent came from the state. The remaining 10 percent came largely from Burlington-based nonprofit Local Motion, and from an anonymous donorMORE IN This Just InRUTLAND- The federal prosecutor's office in Vermont says a 31-year-old man is going to prison for...

25 dollars for a poorly made shirt with a band name on it, what about 10 dollars or a ****** ass lanyard, and I have yet to find a t-shirt at hollister for 50 dollars... I am not dissing on Hot Topic I shop there a ton, I buy the ****** ass shirts and lanyards, but I also buy the ****** ass shirts from Hollister, they are both made of the same material buy the same little Indonesian boy who is getting paid 2 cents for the job. All of the merch, from both stores are over priced, Hollister is for people who like to dress cali surfer style, abercombie is for those preppy bitches, Armani is for those with expensive taste, and Hot Topic is for the scene/urban kids. I just want everyone to stop hating people for where the shop, I buy stuff I think looks cool nice or just awesome, and I find that type of stuff every where. But don't label people by the brand they wear, I wear Hollister (frankly not as much as I use too, but I rock the clothing every now and again) but yet I skate and play skyrim, and do **** like that, I also listen to rap music, but I also listen to 80's rock, and Alternative **** , Don't label the people buy the brand label them by who they ******* are.

back to Rissho Kosei-kai web site
Chapter 29 - Holy Places
AS THE Silver body of our aircraft descended to Calcutta airport, the sun was setting. It must have been about seven o'clock in the evening. As we left the plane and approached the simple airport buildings, the smell of parched earth met our nostrils. It was November, 1964. The monsoon had ended, and India was in what is said to be her most pleasant time of the year. Still, it was as hot in Calcutta as it is in midsummer in Japan. In the waiting room - which reminded me of the kind of place one finds in the Japanese countryside - old-fashioned fans revolved slowly near the ceiling, forcing down a current of air so warm that it only made us sweat more profusely.
Eager to greet us were priests of the Maha Bodhi Society of India, including the vice-president of the society, Madhoram Soft, the venerable Nayaka Maha Thera Jinaratana, and Masayuki Takahashi of the temple Nihonzan Myoho-ji, in India. The Indian priests, who wore the traditional saffron-colored robes of Theravada Buddhism, presented a lei of jasmine flowers and another of marigolds to each member of the group as signs of sincere welcome to India. Looking at the robes and smelling the heady fragrances of the flowers, I realized that these Indian priests and I shared the same religious faith. Suddenly I felt that I had truly arrived in the land where Shakyamuni was born.
After shaking hands with Nayaka Maha Thera Jinaratana, I encountered some people I was surprised and pleased to see. Shortly after our arrival three Japanese had burst into the room. When initial greetings with the representatives of the Maha Bodhi Society were over, these three people bowed slightly to me and expressed their welcome and their happiness at seeing me in good health. They were members of the Toshima and Ota ward chapters of Kosei-kai in Tokyo and had been sent to India in connection with work. Two of the three, a married couple, had been living in Calcutta for six years; but the third, a married woman who had come to India with her husband more recently, had ridden for five hours on a train in order to come to the airport to greet me.
Although for twenty years I had cherished the desire to make a trip to India, the homeland of Shakyamuni and of Buddhism, that wish had been difficult to fulfill. Indeed, as little as a month before the trip, I had no plans to go. But suddenly, in connection with the one-hundredth anniversary of the birth of its founder, Anagarika Dharmapala, the Maha Bodhi Society of India invited me to visit their country.
We organized a pilgrimage group consisting of nine members of Rissho Kosei-kai and including my wife and my oldest son, Koichi; it was the first time that the three of us had ever traveled abroad together. On the day after our arrival in India, I celebrated my fifty-eighth birthday. On the morning of that day, we made a tour of the Indian Museum, where we saw Buddhist sculpture dating from the second century B.C. to the thirteenth century of the Christian Era. All the works impressed the viewer with the age and splendor of Buddhist culture. The statue of a triple lion at the entrance to the museum reminded me of similar statues at the four corners of the Precious Stupa on the roof of the Great Sacred Hall in Tokyo. In the afternoon, we visited the headquarters of the Maha Bodhi Society.
Dharmapala was born in Colombo, Ceylon. His mother, Malika, who was a devout Buddhist, often prayed for the prosperity of Buddhism in Ceylon. She promised that if she had a child he would be devoted to the practice of the Buddhist religion. After she made this promise, Dharmapala was born. Although the family was well-to-do and the father, a businessman, saw to it that his son attended the Christian schools thought to be suitable for children of wealthy Ceylonese of the time, Dharmapala's mother educated him in the reverence for the Three Treasures and the Five Precepts and gave him ample opportunity to study the Four Noble Truths of Buddhism. Once, when Dharmapala traveled to Bodhgaya in the company of a Japanese priest named Kozen Shaku, he was appalled at the desolation of the grounds and at the ruin of the great stupa. Realizing then that if such a distressing condition was allowed to persist priceless Buddhist antiquities would be lost forever, he made up his mind to preserve and rebuild important Buddhist monuments throughout India. After founding the Bodhgaya Maha Bodhi Society of India, Dharmapala devoted the remainder of his sixty-nine years of life to this great project.
Today, the Maha Bodhi Society, which carries on Dharmapala's work, is a group of people who are trying to restore Buddhism to prosperity in the land of its origin. Madhoram Soft, the vice-president of the society, told me that he and his fellow members look to Japan as an advanced nation from which they can learn. He expressed his hope that Buddhists in both countries would join hands to work for world peace. I said that the teachings of the Buddha are able to transcend barriers of race and nation to bring peace to mankind. As he listened to me, Madhoram Soft had a glow in his eyes that reconfirmed my conviction that he is a man of true religious faith.
On returning to our hotel, we found that the management had prepared a birthday cake for me. At the celebration that ensued, the band played Japanese songs; and I expressed my surprise and delight at being able to have a birthday in India. I said that the wish of the Buddha had probably made such a thing possible and added that the birthday party would be a memory that I would long treasure.
The sky was the deep, cloudless blue of southern lands on the day that we traveled by bus to Bodhgaya. We rode on the tree-lined highway that had been paved as part of the commemoration of the two-thousand-five-hundredth anniversary of the birth of the Buddha. We saw small hills on our left and seemingly endless agricultural fields on our right. As we approached the outskirts of the city, the great stupa of the Mahabodhi Vihara came into view on our left. Exclamations of excitement filled the bus, and I experienced slight tension as we came closer to this stupa that marks the site where Shakyamuni Buddha attained enlightenment.
Bodhgaya is a quiet forest of vast trees whose branches interlace overhead to provide welcome shade. From among the trees the great stupa rises to a height of about fifty-two meters. The massive and elegant building is made of blue tiles coated with lime; the blue shows faintly through the lime. It was first built in the third century B.C., during the reign of King Ashoka. It was rebuilt in the fourth century of the Christian Era by King Samudragupta and was repaired in 1880. As I slowly raised my eyes to the stupa, I thought of the millions of people who have enjoyed the same view during the thousands of years that the tower has been in existence. And it seemed to me that I could sense, rising upward from the very ground on which the tower stands, the silent voices of the people who had revered the teachings of the Buddha and had died firm in the same spirit of reverence.
After removing our footwear - as is the custom at holy Buddhist places in India - we entered the great stupa. I lighted incense and offered it before the seated statue of Shakyamuni in the inner room of the tower. Then readings from the Lotus Sutra began. We all took part in the readings, and our voices filled the building. At the conclusion of reading, we went out to tour the grounds. On the north side of the stupa are eighteen stone lotus platforms that were made to represent the eighteen lotus flowers said to have burst into bloom after the Buddha walked about at the conclusion of the meditation that led to his ultimate enlightenment. To the west of the stupa is a bodhi tree that appears quite ancient. Under the tree is the Diamond Seat, the place where Shakyamuni meditated and attained enlightenment.
More than two thousand years ago, at the place I visited on that memorable day at Bodhgaya, Shakyamuni became the Buddha after six years of ascetic discipline. At dawn on December eighth, according to tradition, this event - the greatest and most important in the history of mankind - took place under a tree on the very spot where I stood. As I put my hand on the trunk of the tree planted there now and gently closed my eyes, an image of the Buddha experiencing enlightenment under the pale light of the morning star traversed the millennia to reveal itself to me. Opening my eyes again, I saw my son Koichi standing with gaze fixed on the golden statue of Shakyamuni in a niche in the wall behind the Diamond Seat. Then I saw my wife standing with hands raised together in prayerful attitude in front of the Diamond Seat, and my heart filled with joy at being able to visit these holy places in the company of my own family. My next thought was of the membership of Rissho Kosei-kai, whose support made our trip to India possible. I found myself wishing that every member could make the same pilgrimage.
A few hundred meters from the great stupa at Bodhgaya flows the Nairanjana River, which passes through open plains dotted with dense groves of trees. One of these groves is called the Forest of Asceticism because it is the place where Shakyamuni and five monks engaged in religious ascetic practices before he attained enlightenment. In the distance rises the mountain called Pragbodhi. The young prince Siddhartha, who was later to become the Buddha, left his home, his beautiful wife, Yashodhara, and his son, Rahula, to enter an ascetic way of life in the hope of finding enlightenment. For six years, he engaged in severe austerities only to discover that asceticism does not bring enlightenment. On discovering this truth, he rose, bathed in the Nairanjana River, and sat down under a tree. A village maiden named Sujata came to him and gave him milk and gruel to eat. Refreshed by this food, he resolved to continue his search for enlightenment. To this end he climbed Mount Pragbodhi. Finding the pinnacle of the mountain unsuitable, however, he descended, went to Bodhgaya (near present-day Gaya), and sat under the bodhi tree where he finally attained enlightenment.
When I stood on the banks of the Nairanjana River, it was low because the rainy season was over. Still, its crystal clear water reflected the bright light of the sun. I took off my shoes and waded into the water, which came to just below my knees. The coolness of the river was stimulating and seemed to carry me back to the distant past.
India is a land where poverty reigns supreme. On first acquaintance, Calcutta impressed me with the kind of desolation that I recall in the Tokyo of the days immediately after World War II. In the business parts of town, small dirty shops are crowded together. In the shops, where miscellaneous articles of trade are heaped under dim electric lights, two or three men can be seen gazing idly out into the streets. The city is packed with people, many of whom are as thin as rails and clothed in no more than simple rags. The instant an automobile pauses at a stoplight, beggars flock around and begin rapping on the windows. Day and night, in front of the train stations and in the various plazas, tens and hundreds of people of the lowest caste loiter. Some of them lie on the bare ground staring in front of them with dry, empty eyes. They have no homes, no work, not so much as a small square of land to cultivate. Most of them suffer from chronic malnutrition. They exist in a living death of semistarvation.
My wife often asked me how all these people survive if they do no work. It is amazing that they manage to face each new morning. Nor are they numbered in the thousands or even the hundreds of thousands: in India today there are more than seventy million people who fall into the lowest social caste. Yet Buddhism teaches that all men are equal, that all men can become buddhas. Jawaharlal Nehru once said that Buddhism died a natural death in India. After Buddhism perished there, the majority of the Indian people became believers in the Hindu faith; and it is the Hindu faith that today supports the rigid, irrational system of castes.
I had an opportunity to visit a temple at the Hindu holy place of Varanasi. In front of the imposing white building was a red curtain, and in front of the curtain were six men who intoned a magical liturgy as they swayed to and fro and struck the gongs they held. Finally the red curtain opened, revealing a statue of a strange goddess painted all white except for crimson lips. What I was witnessing appeared less mystical than fantastic. But the scene of people bathing in the Ganges was more surprising still.
The abundant waters of the Ganges flash reflections of the light of the hot southern sun. At the riverbanks, the water is muddy brown. In places along the shore concrete steps have been built to lead down into the water. Large numbers of men and women descend the steps into the river daily and wash their faces, rinse their mouths, or submerge themselves entirely. Upstream is a place on the river where women do their laundry. Not far from the bathing steps is a crematory, from which the ashes of the dead are cast upon the river. To our minds, these scenes on the river were only odd; but from the viewpoint of the Hindu believers, the Ganges is holy. To have one's ashes mixed with its waters is an ultimate happiness. Consequently, the followers of the Hindu religion wash their faces, drink the muddy river water with a sense of gravity, and happily bathe in it. These people are sincere in their belief, although to me it seems only an unenlightened custom.
Customs alter with the nation. There are a large number of Ceylonese and Tibetan Buddhist priests at the holy Buddhist places in India. At one of these places, a Tibetan priest approached me and thrust his long tongue out at me. "What can he mean by sticking out his tongue at a person he has never seen before?" I asked myself in consternation. I later learned that for Tibetans thrusting out the tongue symbolizes a sign of respect and a vow to speak only the truth.
Pasted on walls and fences in many places in Indian towns, I spied brown objects about fifteen centimeters in diameter and about the shape of a large cookie. In the center of each was a handprint. I wondered what these things might be; they did not look edible. Inquiry revealed that they are cow dung, the sole source of fuel for many people in India. Whenever they find a piece of cow dung in the streets, women pick it up, mix it with grass, and press it against a wall or fence, where it soon dries. When it has dried, the women collect it, add it to the other dung cakes in their baskets, and peddle the fuel from place to place. India is vast and has an immense population. I could not help thinking that, if the people would use everything as economically as they do cow dung and if they could know the joy of diligent labor, the nation might well experience rebirth.
I spent the night before my trip to Mount Gridhrakuta in a resthouse in an old royal fort at Rajgir, in the state of Bihar. The fort is surrounded by five mountains, of which Gridhrakuta is by far the highest and the most beautiful. The name of the mountain, which means Vulture Peak, derives from an imagined resemblance between its shape and that of the bird. The Buddha is believed to have expounded many sutras - including the Lotus Sutra - on Mount Gridhrakuta. The other members of the party and I arose and participated in sutra readings at six thirty on the morning of our trip. We did not board our bus, however, until nine o'clock. Rajgir was the capital of the ancient kingdom of Magadha. To the north of the old fort is the new fort built by King Bimbisara, a notable ruler of Magadha. Bimbisara is said to have erected a building in a bamboo grove where he heard the Buddha and came to believe his teachings. During the lifetime of the Buddha, however, Bimbisara was imprisoned and subsequently murdered by his own son Ajatashatru.
On the way from the old fort to the new one are a number of ruins, some of which we visited on our way to Mount Gridhrakuta. At ten in the morning, we arrived at the stone-paved road called the Way of Bimbisara because the king had it paved so that he could be carried over it to the mountain to hear the Buddha. Moving up the fairly steep road, we chanted the Daimoku, Namu Myoho Renge-kyo. As we went higher, the royal fort came into view.
At the top of the mountain is a plaza, on the edge of which is a brick ruin said to be the platform from which the Buddha delivered the Lotus Sutra and other teachings. I was deeply moved by the sight of this platform because it brought to my mind's eye a vivid impression of the time when the Buddha was alive on this earth. I made an incense offering on the platform, brought my hands together in prayer, and meditated profoundly for a few moments before beginning to read from the Lotus Sutra. As I stood there in silence, I felt strength welling up from deep in the earth. Reading the sutra as I stood on top of Vulture Peak and looked at the greenery of the neighboring mountains gleaming in the blazing sunlight was an experience that will always remain precious.
After a brief rest, we examined some caves in which Ananda, Maudgalyayana, and Shariputra, major disciples of the Buddha, have left traces of their religious pursuits. Then we descended to the base of the mountain. Even after we had left it, Mount Gridhrakuta remained a joy in our hearts.
Sarnath is famous as the place at which the Buddha first rolled the Wheel of the Law, that is, where he preached his first sermon. The Maha Bodhi Society built a middle school and a high school in Sarnath some years ago and planned to construct a college there as part of the celebration of the centennial of the birth of Dharmapala. We visited the grounds of the schools during our trip to Sarnath; and as we entered the gates, all seven hundred of the students gathered in the courtyard rose as if at a signal and welcomed us with voices filled with youth and strength.
After we had toured the school facilities, I was asked to decide the position of the foundation stones for the college. Agreeing to do as requested, I followed my guide to a trench dug to a depth of about two meters. In the bottom of the trench I laid five bricks, on top of which construction workers would later pour concrete for the foundations. At the conclusion of this brief ceremony, I was thanked and asked to make a few remarks. I felt that I must comply. As I spoke to the young people from the high speaker's platform, I could not help believing in a Buddhist relation that led to my making a speech for the first time in India at the place where the Buddha first rolled the Wheel of the Law.
Some time after this experience, I learned that to be invited to attend the ground breaking of a school is among the highest honors an Indian can afford his guest. I was happy that the Maha Bodhi Society had been courteous enough to invite a delegation of Buddhist believers from Japan to take part in such a prestigious occasion. I was further pleased by the profound significance I attached to concluding our pilgrimage in India on the site of a school devoted to stimulating the prosperity of Buddhism in its homeland.
The name of India is said to come from a Persian word meaning "the land of the Indus River." This river has undoubtedly played an important part in the development of India. It was on its shores that the Indus Valley civilization - possibly the oldest in human history - emerged and reached a level of urban sophistication that entitles it to be ranked with the ancient civilizations of China, Egypt, and Mesopotamia. In more recent times, the Indus valley has produced such great leaders as the Hindu poet Rabindranath Tagore, the advocate of the theory of passive resistance Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, and the great politician Jawaharlal Nehru.
Today, however, religious evil has sent roots deep into the very daily lives of the Indian people to create conditions of appalling poverty and famine. Why did Buddhism, which originated and once prospered in India, fail there? Perhaps the upper classes did not react well to the Buddha's teachings of universal equality. Perhaps the lower classes failed to understand the greatness of the Buddha's teachings, even when they were permitted to come into contact with them. The conjunction of these two factors may explain the failure of Buddhism and the gradual rise of Hinduism in India. Reflecting on the condition of India made me intensely aware of this truth: no matter where the Buddha first taught, unless the people understand its meaning and put it to practical application, the Law, which is otherwise a priceless treasure, has no value. A great Buddhist teacher in the fourth century A.D. prophesied that the Buddha's Law would come to be closely related to the Orient. Just as he foresaw, today, we in Japan have the good fortune to be bathed in the light of the Law. When I saw the way in which Buddhism can be said to exert hardly any influence at all in India today, I became even more deeply impressed with the gravity of the mission of Rissho Kosei-kai. For the sake of the protection of the Law - one aspect of our mission - and as a way of demonstrating gratitude to Shakyamuni, I proposed establishing an arrangement whereby serious Indian students may come to Japan to study Buddhism so that they may carry the teachings to their homeland again.

A 'Wintern' at Condé Nast
Reflections on my internship at Bon Appétit magazine.
My roommate rushed to my desk, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. Just a few moments ago, I had revealed to her – with forced enthusiasm – that I had been offered a photo internship at Men's Fitness magazine.
I had got several different reactions to this bit of news. My friend Sarah called me as soon as she heard. "You get to take photos of naked, buff guys? You have to take it," she gushed, "And if you don't, send them my information." My mother was skeptical, "Will you be working late nights? Are you teachers OK with this?" She couldn't believe that my mentors would proudly send me off into the world of semi-pornographic photography.
After this, watching someone actually be excited for me was refreshing. As Kelundra marched toward my computer, I started feeling better about myself. Maybe this internship isn't as bad as people are making it out to be, I thought.
But then Kelundra pulled up a website significantly lacking in muscled men. "This is where you should work," she declared, "I'd rather my roommate work for a magazine my mother actually subscribes to."
The website was www.bonappetit.com.
Over Thanksgiving break, I submitted applications to 18 magazines in New York City.
Two weeks later, I found myself at the 42nd street station, on my way to interview at Bon Appétit. I was excited. I could feel my pulse quicken to match that of the big city. The prospect of working in the Condé Nast building on Times Square took my breath away.
From then on, I only remember the day in flashes.
That first sighting of the building. Canopy. Engraved address plate. 4 Times Square.
Standing in the Condé Nast elevator, looking up at the little boxes with floor numbers and magazine names.
Handshake. Smile.
Walking through meandering corridors with pictures of pasta and chocolate cake on the walls.
The interview. More smiling. Another handshake.
Riding the elevator again, with a copy of the latest Bon Appétit issue clutched in my now-sweaty hands.
Walking out of the building. Deep breath.
Turning back to take a picture of the address plate.
Thinking, I have to get this internship.
Train back home.
End scene.
A week later, I met up with my friend, Josh, for one of our regular refueling stops at Starbucks. We talked of internships and interviews. I told him that I really didn't want to work at Men's Fitness. He told me he really didn't want to work at Maxim.
As if on cue, an email popped up on my smart phone. It was from Hannah Sullivan, and the subject read, "Web Editorial Internship at BA." I couldn't read it. I asked Josh to tell me what it said. I squeezed my eyes shut. For a long time, he didn't say a word. I prepared myself for the worst. I looked over, wanting to spare him the misery of having to tell me that what I wanted so bad wasn't going to happen.
"I didn't get it, did I?" I said, resignedly.
"I don't know, it's still loading!" he said. Thank you, Starbucks.
And then, "We are thrilled to officially offer you the Spring Website Internship … you got it!"
Winter break was a blur. I put together some kind of professional wardrobe, filled out
paperwork, traveled to the city for two more interviews – with Time Out New York and Budget Travel – decorated a Christmas tree, designed and printed business cards, and cooked – a LOT.
I started my internship on January 19, a day that felt much like the first day of school. Hannah, the internship coordinator, met me at the door, and showed me to a room marked "Interns." I was handed an orientation packet, and pointed to one of the Macs in the room.
After we had read through all the rules and regulations in the packet, my fellow interns and I were led on a tour of the office, where we were introduced to the Bon Appétit staff, all of whom were polite enough to make it seem like meeting us was the best part of their day. Our heads were crammed full of names, faces, and a mental map of the office, one that wasn't fully fleshed out till at least three weeks later.
The highlight of the day was getting our ID badges from security. We could now swipe in and out of the building without having to stop at the scary security desk and whip out photo ID. We were insiders. It felt wonderful.
At the end of the day, I sent out an email to my friends and family from my new company email address. I signed off, "Aasimah Navlakhi, Bon Appétit Magazine."
What surprised me most about Bon Appétit was the intimate relationship it maintains with its readers. To me, writing to a major national magazine was equivalent to sending out good thoughts into a black hole. But at BA, every query was answered, and every suggestion acknowledged.
One of my first jobs at the magazine was to respond to recipe requests sent in by readers. Their requests ranged from the desperate to the absurd, and were relayed in messages spanning the entire spectrum from curt to epic. Where some readers knew exactly what they were looking for, right down to the issue and page number, other requests had us foraging in the vast BA library to find recipes of, for instance, "brownies that taste like wonder bars."
Writing for the website was probably my favorite thing to do. I remember getting an email from Julia, an associate editor, asking me to write up a short blurb on Chocolate-Oatmeal Moon pies. I spent an hour thinking of what to say, and how to make it funny. The next hour was spent crafting, as I called it, "my moon pie masterpiece." This is what finally appeared on the website:
"What's better than a cookie? Two cookies! And boy, do they fit snugly around some fluffy marshmallow cream. Pop these moon pies in the oven and watch your willpower melt away with every waft of fresh-baked goodness."
From there, I'd like to think they got better. After all, Julia asked me to write 13 more.
Being an intern, I knew it was only a matter of time before someone sent me out on a coffee run. And I was right. My time came about two weeks in. But I wasn't getting coffee for an editor. I was grocery shopping for a shoot.
Interning at BA involved a lot of time spent outside the office, tracking down obscure brands of coffee, artisan Parisian macaroons, advance copies of cookbooks, and trial versions of incredibly expensive cookware.
One sunny February afternoon found me in the Upper East Side, at the Parisian macaroon store, Ladurée. Armed with a corporate credit card, and an unspecified budget, I bought $300 worth of macaroons. When I reached the register, the cashier walked out from behind the counter and handed me my bags with a little bow and a smile I'm certain she reserves for visiting Hollywood stars.
It felt pretty good.
One of my last assignments at BA was to assist on a photo-shoot for the "My Morning Routine" segment of the website. For this section, celebrities spoke to BA about their morning routine. What time they woke up, what they ate, what they read etc.
On the morning of the shoot, I sped across the city, buying copies of The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal, ordering Mexican food, picking up green smoothies, and choosing the most photographable sushi box from a deli around the corner from Times Square.
Back at work, I spent the day cooking oatmeal, broiling salmon, and grilling steak in the BA test kitchen, amongst professional chefs who were grilling peaches, and browning whole turkeys for a massive Thanksgiving themed tasting session. In April, the test kitchen was already testing new recipes for the October issue.
The food I cooked was laid out, photographed, and trashed.
We shot five images. It took nine hours.
It was worth it.
I could not have asked for a better internship.
I met driven, intelligent, and hard-working people, and was fostered in an encouraging, open, and inspiring environment.
I was entrusted with responsibility, given opportunities to pitch ideas every week, and allowed to work in departments I was interested in learning about.
In the ruthless, unforgiving magazine world, I believe that Bon Appétit is beloved for a reason, and I am glad that I was able to be a part of it for this short period of time.
I hope to continue my relationship with BA and I will be only too happy to go back to work there, if and when they'll have me.

The Maroon Volume XI LOYOLA UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS, LA., MARCH 4, 1933 No. 19 SIX RESOLUTIONS PASSED BY N. C. P. A. Wisconsin is Named to Presidency at Meet Seventh Resolution is Shelved After Impassioned Fight "BEAT" SYSTEM GIVEN AIRING Exchange List Resolution Is Unanimously Accepted Following two days of discussion at Loyola and at Tulane, the general assembly of the New Orleans convention of the National College Press Association added a list of six resolutions to its constitution. These, will be known as the resolutions of the 1933 convention and were drawn up mostly by the Ohio and Loyola chairmen. A seventh resolution based upon the Reed Harris case at Columbia and denouncing "sensationalism on the part of the editor with personal publicity in view" was killed on the convention "flboi tfter an impassioned plea for its death by the Wisconsin delegation. The Daily Cardinal representative deplored "our descent to such denouncement tactics". The six passed resolutions are: 1. Resolved, that the name of each member publication of the National College Press Association be placed on the exchange list of each other member of the association, and the executive secretary at the University of Pittsburgh shall send a list of all member publications to each other member publication. 2. Resolved, that the use of syndicated rotogravure sections in member publications be condemned. 3. Resolved, that the practice on the part of journalism schools, college graduates and newspapermen, who either permit or encourage journalism students and journalism graduates to work without pay on city daily papers, thus replacing bona fide members of the profession, be solemnly condemned. 4. Resolved, that the Tulane-Loyola hosts of this convention be tendered a vote of thanks by the delegates of this convention (we will not expand upon the remainder of this resolution). 5. Resolved, that the National College Press Association tender a vote of confidence to the College Publisher's Representatives. 6. Resolved, that the National College Press Association do hereby demand complete freedom of the college press, and do hereby request all student councils, faculties and other authoritative forces to i-e--frain from interfering with editorial policies so long as these editorial policies remain within the bounds of ordinary decency. Resolutions 1, 2, 3 and 4 were passed unanimously with the quorum present. At thq, annual election of officers, the Wisconsin Daily Cardinal was elected president and, as is usual, the city of the next convention will be the home city of the paper honored with the presidency. The 1934 convention will be held at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, and a tentative date has been set for ThanksgivingNational Convention is a Success Despite Fate Action of Rex and Druids Disappoints Local Crowds TWO UNIVERSITIES FAIL TO ATTEND Dance Orchestra Prescinds From "Color" Music Despite Thomas Hardy's wellknown "concerted opposition of hostile forces", the New Orleans convention of the National College Press Association was unanimously pronounced a success. The "hostile forces", however, were well at work. Two weeks before the convention the civic pride of the Loyola and Tulane leaders was bruised by the worst freeze since 1922, a freeze which ruined our tropic vegetation so that the Vieux Carre courtyards and patios looked as though a seven year's plague had hit them. With the result that the delegates think it is quite natural for palm trees to resemble the hind part of moulting hens. Moreover, they have come all the way to New Orleans without seeing banana trees. It is bad enough not to see bananas, but when even the trees themselves are killed . . . A second set-back occurred the morning of the convention when tl e Vanderbilt delegation wired their last minute inability to attend, and the Columbia delegation failed to show up. At this time, also, it became known that Lyle Saxon (trust these Saxons) would be the only one of the original speakers to speak. All went smoothly, however, and 'he delegation admired our weather (damp and cold to us) and wondered that we had never seen snow down here. The delegates also liked our food and our sluryeFATHER HYNES GRATIFIED WITH RADIO HEARINGS University President Returns From Washington Meet Very Reverend J. W. Hynes, S. J., president of the university, recently returned from Washington, ! D. C., where he attended the hearj ing before the Federal Radio Com' mission, in which Loyola asked full ' time for broadcasting station WWL. "I am well pleased with the recent hearing and believe that ! Loyola presented a very strong case in a most effective manner," stated Father Hynes, regarding the hearing. "I have high hopes that j when the decision is rendered some j months hencC It- -will be faVnrable-1 I to Loyola." Father Hynes was accompanied i | on the trip by Rev. Wallace Burk, i S. J., Rev. O. L. Abell, S. J., and j Captain A. C. Pritchard, manager j of the station, all of whom have | remained in New York for business j connected with WWL. ANNUAL SODALITY CONVENTION TO BE HELD IN WEEK SECOND FLOOR SHOW SUCCESS The Little Broadcast Featured Much Popular Talent "The Little Broadcast," offered in . conjunction with the Gym Dance last Friday night, was enthusiastically acclaimed by all its promoters this week as the most successful in the short history of Loyola-Ursuline floor shows. "Returns from the dance and floor show indicate great success," J. Skelly Wright, chairman of the dance committee, declared.

The Show-Off is a play of three ' acts, taking three hours for presentation, the longest ever pre-' sented by the Thespians. Dr. Al-' fred G. Bonomo, director of the organization, is well pleased with ; the progress shown by the entire! cast and expects an excellent per- j formance. Edward Lucas and Adrien Drouilhet will handle the properties and technical work. A play reading committee, John D. Schilleci, Lucien Delery, and | Edward Driscoll, has been appointed to select the second play of the year which will be presented at the end of the school term. COMMERCE LECTURE GIVEN Insisting: that the American people must become "Tax Conscious" if they hope to avoid future depressions and by the same means get out of this depression, Fred! Le Laurin, General Agent of the Aetna Life Insurance Co., gave a detailed talk on "Taxation" Friday in Marquette Hall. "When we can get our wives and mothers to realize whether or not they are being taxed fairly, declared Mr. Le Laurin, "then will we be making steps toward fair taxation and consequent good gov- [ ernment." LENT CONCLUDES PHILOSOPHY TALK Father Burke Defines Modern Education in Last Lecture Laying stress on the "immorality'" of modern education in that it excludes the unavoidable fact of the Almighty, Rev. Martin Burke, S. J., head of the philosophy department of Loyola University, concluded his series of philosophy forums in Marquette Hall Sunday night. "The word 'immorality,' " Father Burke pointed out, "is invariably interpreted as pertaining only to habitual drunkeness, obscenity, and the like, whereas it really means the failure to meet obligations not only to the individual, but to meet obligations to God Almighty —to give Him what is rightfully His." "If the individual has certain CONFERENCE SITUATION EXPLAINED! Asked for a statement concerning the failure of Loyola to gain admission to the Southeastern Conference at its meeting in Atlanta this week, Father Doonan remarked: "While the Conference was formed on the idea of restricting membership, still the feeling of the majority of the members of the Conference with whom I talked was that Loyola should be admitted, and in fact that no institution of university standing in the territory covered by the Southeastern Conference should be denied admission if it meets the scholastic and athletic standards. I understand that twelve members of the Conference were present at the voting when the question of Loyola's admission was brought up. On the count it was found that the vote stood six-six, and so the motion was tabled. I feel that if the other member had been present to vote, the vote would have been seven-six and we would have been admitted," Asked if he knew and was at liberty to say how the schools lined up in the voting, Father Doonan said: "I was not present at the discussion as the meeting was an executive one, but I am reliably informed that, with the exception of Tulane University, the universities in our immediate neighborhood supported our cause." Asked if Tulane was the university which did not cast a vote, Father Doonan said: "I understand that their representative was present and voted." Five Southern States To Con- j vene in Shreveport for Sessions MEET BEGINS MARCH 17 Father Daniel Lord Will j Conduct and Lead Convention The annual Sodality convention ! for the five states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas and Texas, will take place at I j Shreveport, La., on March 17, 18, i and 19, Rev.

"I have been fortunate enough to have a supportive family and met many inspiring people in my life who have encouraged me to follow my talents and passion. My father, a woodcarver himself, imparted his knowledge of woodcraft plus provided a creative environment and stories of my great-uncles Pine and John Taiapa, who were Tohunga Whakairo. I have always respected and been inspired by the artistic achievements by indigenous artisans in Aotearoa and throughout the world."
