Phu Kradueng Electric Cable Car: Build or not build?
- Published: 19 Aug 2013 at 16.29 | Viewed: 2,787 | Comments: 0

Cable car up Phu Kradueng would ruin incomes of local people & lead to more building in national parks.

Phu Kradueng Cable Car: To build or not to build?
Anchalee Kongrut
Tat Hong Waterfall in Phu Kradueng National Park (Source: Wikipedia)
No environmental news can stir public reaction and debate quite like the plan to build an electric cable car for Phu Kradueng National Park in Loei province. The plan was hatched 30 years ago and has been opposed, shelved and revived time and again.
Climbing Phu Kradueng has been popular among Thai teenagers as a rite of passage for university students. The trend became part of travel culture among Thais.
The electric cable car project was created for two reasons: for disposing garbage and for transporting tourists who wish to visit the summit without having to climb the mountain for six hours.
Conservationists, locals and even travellers who dismissed the project say that the scheme will wipe out local business such as food shops along the hiking route, as well as look harb - Sherpa-like local villagers who help carry bags for hikers at a cost of around 30 baht per kilogramme.
A small patch of forest will be cleared and that means the provision in the 1961 National Park Act imposing a ban on land change and construction in national parks will be violated.
Phu Kradueng will then be accessible to everyone, not only those who are only physically abled. Broadly speaking, the choice between a manual ascent or riding a cable car is a matter of taste, yet the outcome of the project will set the standard for more development in national parks, including an electric cable car for Doi Chiang Dao in Pha Daeng National Park in Chiang Mai province.
As of now, the plan has gone quiet, though who knows when politicians will beat pots and pans and try to revive the plan again?

In relation to my previous post about patience in suffering and about my brother's suicide in 1982, about which I write in greater detail in my book, Home Waters, and whom I remembered on the recent anniversary of his death, I wish to reflect on a few things that I feel I have learned in retrospect. These are spiritual lessons, mainly, and they relate to the specific nature of how my brother died, but I hope that they might apply to other circumstances as well. I admit that I haven't suffered any … [Read more...]
Patience in Suffering
NOTE: My book, Home Waters, after which the blog is named, treats the theme of environmental stewardship but not always directly. It also touches on themes of community, human suffering, the humanities (specifically poetry), and theology. While I have devoted most of this blog to themes related to environmental stewardship, I have occasionally touched on these other topics. After completing my first year of blogging, I would like to shift the focus of this blog to these other themes, but I will … [Read more...]

A General Authority Teaches Stewardship
History was made on Friday. Elder Marcus Nash, a member of the First Quorum of the Seventy of the Church of Jesus Christ, spoke as a formal representative of the church at the recent Stegner Symposium on "Religion, Faith, and the Environment" and presented an official view of Mormon stewardship of the earth. The symposium was remarkable in many ways. We heard from ecclesiastical leaders and representatives of evangelical Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam. We heard a variety of sch … [Read more...]
Stewardship and Citizenship at the State Level
Polls in this country indicate a gap between the mainstream voter and elected officials at the state and national levels. I am not sure how different the trends are between the two parties, but there is certainly evidence this has happened on the right. Most recently, for example, we find evidence that a majority of Republicans are concerned about climate change and believe that more should be done to address the problem. This is true on other issues as well, including gun control and … [Read more...]
Immigration, Promised Lands, and Homelands
LDS pioneers who arrived in the Great Basin in 1847 were, well, squatters. I don't know what else to call them. The academic term for their development of the Great Basin is "extralegal," that is, outside of the bounds of law. They were stepping into the ungoverned and soon-to-be contested territory of the Spanish colonies, but even if their immigration was not technically illegal, their practice of polygamy certainly was. LDS pioneers were deemed a sexually deviant and threatening bunc … [Read more...]
Pope Francis Links Concerns for the Poor and the Environment
"Please, let us be protectors of creation, protectors of God's plan inscribed in nature, protectors of one another and of the environment."At first glance this is a counterintuitive statement. How might concern for the poor and for the environment be linked? Aren't they often mutually exclusive? Aren't humanitarians and tree-huggers loving different things? Can we be both Mother Teresa and St. Francis of Assisi? Pope Francis obviously seems to think so. Of course, this really is not new Chris … [Read more...]
LDS Belief as Ecologically Responsible
As I mentioned, this is part II of a brief investigation. I have spent a great deal of energy and writing on this particular question, so I make mention of some of these points at the risk of repeating myself. But perhaps now, stated in direct dialogue with perspectives within LDS culture that are decidedly anti-environmental that I described in my previous post, we can gain some clarity about how these positions might better understand one another. … [Read more...]
LDS Belief as Ecologically Harmful
I once read an excellent essay by David Kinsley entitled "Christianity as Ecologically Harmful" with a companion essay entited "Christianity as Ecologically Responsible." These two essays explore two sides of the same coin. I think this was an excellent exercise in helping readers to understand that a religious tradition provides many principles and doctrines that are important guideposts in life but there is nothing deterministic about a belief system that dictates certain attitudinal or behavio … [Read more...]
Interview with Generation Anthropocene
This was a very interesting opportunity to be interviewed at Generation Anthropocene, a podcast program based at Stanford University.

Birth of The Three (The Unification) LyricsArtist: Orphaned LandAlbum: Mabool The seventh was then divided into three They were given their first symbols They bore the faces of animals A Snake, an Eagle & the Lion The first was known as magic and he bore an enchanted heart A Star of David upon his crest was his eternal mark The second was strength, half a moon was he A triangle he adorned, a sword for all to see The third was Lion widom, a mind unmatched Represented by the cross, the white was his essence A crystal his defense The three were one, divided as rebirth Forbidden to unite, for fear of their strength The divine order was ignored the three then became one Their punishment was swift they were denied and then cast down A thousand incarnations passed the time was now at hand A prophecy fulfilled so; he may save this sinful land As jobe bore the sins of all men who walk the land They must bear the cross as was their commands The secon unification of the angels Seven Three human souls, merged, as in heaven The lion's roar was heard by all The magic and the force have heard The will to prophesize was theirs The cross shook the hammering of nails Omen in the darkened skies above Thunder, lightning and rain did flow As the united angel rose Ice steamed and fire froze And the three were born... The seventh had seven descendants The seventh was then divided into three

Sarah Ann McLachlan, OC, OBC (born January 28, 1968) is a Canadian musician, singer, songwriter, and pianist.[2] Known for her emotional ballads and mezzo-soprano vocal range, as of 2009, she has sold over 40 million albums worldwide.[3][4] McLachlan's best-selling album to date is Surfacing, for which she won two Grammy Awards (out of four nominations) and four Juno Awards. In addition to her personal artistic efforts, she founded the Lilith Fair tour, which showcased female musicians on a scale that had never been attempted before. The Lilith Fair concert tours took place from 1997 to 1999, and resumed in the summer of 2010. On May 6, 2014, she released her first album of original music in four years, titled Shine On.
Early and personal life[edit]
Sarah McLachlan was born on January 28, 1968, and adopted in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. As a child, she took voice lessons, along with studies in classical piano and guitar. When she was 17 years old and still a student at Queen Elizabeth High School, she fronted a short-lived rock band called The October Game. One of the band's songs, "Grind", credited as a group composition, can be found on the independent Flamingo Records release Out of the Fog and the CD Out of the Fog Too. It has yet to be released elsewhere. Her high school yearbook predicted that she was "destined to become a famous rock star."
Following The October Game's first concert at Dalhousie University opening for Moev, McLachlan was offered a recording contract with Vancouver-based independent record label Nettwerk by Moev's Mark Jowett. McLachlan's parents insisted she finish high school and complete one year of studies at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design before moving to Vancouver and embarking on a new life as a recording artist, and McLachlan finally signed to Nettwerk two years later before having written a single song.
In 1994 McLachlan was sued by Uwe Vandrei, an obsessed fan from Ottawa who alleged that his letters to her had been the basis of the single "Possession." The lawsuit was also challenging for the Canadian legal system: Vandrei was a self-admitted stalker whose self-acknowledged goal in filing the lawsuit was to be near McLachlan physically. Consequently, special precautions were planned to ensure McLachlan's safety if she had to be in the same location as Vandrei at any time. But before the trial began, Vandrei was found dead in an apparent suicide. This topic was explored at length in Canadian author Judith Fitzgerald's book, Building a Mystery: The Story of Sarah McLachlan & Lilith Fair.
In 1997, Sarah McLachlan married her drummer, Ashwin Sood, in Jamaica. While she was pregnant, her mother died from cancer in December 2001. She gave birth to daughter India Ann Sushil Sood in Vancouver on April 6, 2002, by which time she had already completed three quarters of the production on her next record, Afterglow. On June 22, 2007 she gave birth to her second daughter, Taja Summer Sood, in Vancouver. McLachlan announced her separation from Ashwin Sood in September 2008.[5]
As of May 2014, McLachlan was dating former NHL player Geoff Courtnall.[6]
Sarah McLachlan currently resides in Vancouver.
Albums career[edit]
1988–92: Touch and Solace[edit]
The signing with Nettwerk prompted McLachlan to move to Vancouver, British Columbia. There she recorded the first of her albums, Touch, in 1988, which received both critical and commercial success and included the hit song "Vox". During this period she also contributed to an album by Manufacture, and embarked on her first national concert tour as an opening act for The Grapes of Wrath.[7][8]
Her 1991 album, Solace, was her mainstream breakthrough in Canada, spawning the hit singles "The Path of Thorns (Terms)" and "Into the Fire". Solace also marked the beginning of her partnership with Pierre Marchand. Marchand and McLachlan have been collaborators ever since, with Marchand producing many of McLachlan's albums and occasionally co-writing songs.[9]
1993–97: Fumbling Towards Ecstasy and Surfacing[edit]
1993's Fumbling Towards Ecstasy was an immediate hit in Canada. From her Nettwerk connection, her piano version of the song "Possession" was included on the first Due South soundtrack in 1996. Over the next two years, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy quietly became McLachlan's international breakthrough as well, scaling the charts in a number of countries.
In 1993, Darryl Neudorf filed a lawsuit against McLachlan and her label, Nettwerk, alleging that he had made a significant and uncredited contribution to the songwriting on Touch, and alleging that he was not paid properly for work done on Solace. The judge in this suit eventually ruled in McLachlan's favour on the songs; though Neudorf may have contributed to the songwriting, neither regarded each other as joint authors. The judge ruled in Neudorf's favour on the payment issue.
Following the success from Fumbling Towards Ecstasy, McLachlan returned in 1997 with Surfacing, her best-selling and best-known album to date. The album earned her two 1998 Grammy Awards, one for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance (for "Building a Mystery") and one for Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance (for "Last Dance"), and four Juno Awards, including Album of the Year for Surfacing and Song of the Year and Songwriter of the Year for "Building a Mystery". The album has since sold over 16 million copies worldwide and brought her much international success. Still in the spotlight from the album, McLachlan launched the highly popular Lilith Fair tour. Her song "Angel"—inspired by the fatal overdose of Smashing Pumpkins touring keyboardist Jonathan Melvoin—made sales skyrocket.
In Spring 1998, the motion picture City of Angels featured "Angel". It became the No. 1 album on the Billboard chart. More than five months after the movie disappeared from the theatres, City of Angels: Music from the Motion Picture remained firmly entrenched among Billboard's top 40 albums. This soundtrack earned quadruple-platinum status.[10]
2003–05: Afterglow[edit]
McLachlan returned to public life and touring with her 2003 album release, Afterglow, which contained the singles "Fallen", "Stupid", and "World On Fire". Rather than shoot a conventional music video for "World On Fire", McLachlan donated all but $15 of the $150,000 budget to various charitable causes around the world and then used the video to explain how it benefited the communities that received the money.
Another live album, Afterglow Live, was released in late 2004. The CD consisted of several tracks from a full-length concert, which was included in its entirety on a DVD, as well as the three music videos from Afterglow.
In 2004, Darryl "D.M.C." McDaniels, who credits McLachlan and her music for lifting him from a period of depression, as he described publicly on NPR Moth Radio Hour "Angel" dated Sept 9, 2014, invited her to join him on a track from his solo album. Although the album was not released until early 2006, remixes of the song "Just Like Me" were included on a number of compilations in 2005.
2006: Wintersong[edit]
In October 2006, McLachlan released a Christmas album called Wintersong. The album included 11 new recordings, featuring covers of Joni Mitchell's "River", Gordon Lightfoot's "Song for a Winter's Night", and John Lennon's "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)", which she recorded with her outreach children and youth choir, and seasonal favourites: "Christmas Time Is Here", "O Little Town of Bethlehem", "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas", "Silent Night", "The First Noel", and "Greensleeves (What Child Is This?)", among others. The title track is an original work of McLachlan's.
Wintersong debuted at No. 42 on the Billboard 200 album chart the week ending 4 November 2006. It peaked at #7. For the week of 5 December 2006, it was the #1 album on iTunes. Worldwide the album has sold over 1.1 million copies to date. It has been certified Platinum in the U.S. and 2x Platinum in Canada.
Wintersong was nominated for both a Grammy Award, in the Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album category, as well as for a Juno Award, for Pop Album of the Year.
On October 3, 2006, the live album Mirrorball was re-released as Mirrorball: The Complete Concert. This release contains 2 discs that were compiled from 2 concerts performed on consecutive nights in April 1998 at the Rose Garden arena in Portland, Oregon.
2008-2010: Rarities Vol 2, greatest-hits compilation and Laws of Illusion[edit]
On April 29, 2008, Rarities, B-Sides and Other Stuff Volume 2 was released. The tracklist includes McLachlan's recent covers of Joni Mitchell's "River" and Dave Stewart's "Ordinary Miracle", as well as collaborations throughout her career with The Perishers, Cyndi Lauper and Bryan Adams, among others.
On August 5, 2008, the 15th anniversary 3-disc edition of Fumbling Towards Ecstasy was released. The set includes the original re-mastered album, The Freedom Sessions and a DVD that includes live performances, music videos and more. The album was released by Legacy Recordings.
McLachlan released a greatest hits album, Closer: The Best of Sarah McLachlan, on October 7, 2008. On August 12, 2008, she released a new song from the album, "U Want Me 2", a mid-tempo contemplative love song, as a digital single on iTunes; also accompanied with a video performance. McLachlan also admitted the song was inspired by the dissolution of her marriage, which she announced in September 2008, during initial promotion. "Don't Give Up on Us", the other new song on the album, was released as the second and final single on 3 February 2009. Both singles were subsequently included on her next album, Laws of Illusion.
A new single, "One Dream," was released on September 29, 2009 and was the official theme song of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.[11] McLachlan's first studio album of original material in nearly seven years, Laws of Illusion, was released on June 15, 2010. New York Times music critic John Pareles says about Laws of Illusion - "It's a kindly, enveloping sound that Ms. McLachlan has long used to conjure passion and empathy laced with melancholy. But now it encompasses a new anguish, deeper and sharper than what she hinted at with Afterglow in 2003." It features 10 new songs in addition to the previously released tracks "U Want Me 2" and "Don't Give Up on Us," as well as various bonus tracks. Previews of the tracks and bonus materials were made available on iTunes and Amazon.com for listening and viewing on May 26, 2010. Lilith Fair kicked off in Calgary, AB on June 27, 2010. In anticipation of the album and the summer's tour, McLachlan appeared on the WNYC-produced radio show Soundcheck. During the wide-ranging interview, McLachlan discussed with host John Schaefer the last eleven years of her life and how she has changed, especially as a working mother of two.
2014–present: Shine On[edit]
In late January 2014, McLachlan announced the release of her next studio album, Shine On, which was inspired by the death of her father. It was her first release on Verve Records, after leaving Nettwerk/Artista after over twenty years.[12] The album was released on May 6, 2014.
In March 2014 McLachlan announced a schedule for a tour across the United States, which began in Seattle on June 20, 2014.[13] The tour visited 30 cities all together. The Canadian leg of the tour will include 25 shows in 21 cities.[14]
Shine On was #1 on iTunes Canada Top 10, for the week ending on May 11. On May 14, 2014, it was announced that the album debuted at #4 on the US Billboard charts, with 42,000 copies. On June 24, 2014, Shine On was certified Gold (40,000 units sold) by the Canadian Recording Industry Association.
Lilith Fair[edit]
In 1996 McLachlan became frustrated with concert promoters and radio stations that refused to feature two female musicians in a row.[15] Bucking conventional industry wisdom, she booked a successful tour for herself and Paula Cole. At least one of their appearances together – in McLachlan's home town, on September 14, 1996 – went by the name "Lilith Fair" and included performances by McLachlan, Cole, Lisa Loeb and Michelle McAdorey, formerly of Crash Vegas.
The next year, McLachlan founded the Lilith Fair tour, taking Lilith from the medieval Jewish legend that Lilith was Adam's first wife.[16]
In 1997, Lilith Fair, featuring McLachlan as one of the headlining acts, garnered a $16 million gross, making it the top-grossing of any touring festival.[15] Among all concert tours for that year, it was the 16th highest grossing.[15] Lilith Fair tour brought together 2 million people over its three-year history and raised more than $7 million for charities. It was the most successful all-female music festival in history, one of the biggest music festivals of the 1990s, and helped launch the careers of several well-known female artists. Subsequent Lilith Fairs followed in 1998 and 1999 before the tour was discontinued.
Nettwerk CEO and Lilith Fair co-founder Terry McBride announced that the all-female festival would make its return in the summer of 2010 in Canada, the United States, and Europe. A list of 36 North American shows was released. But poor ticket sales, financial problems, and headliners' withdrawing out of fear of not being paid caused 13 of the shows to be cancelled. The two-week European tour never materialized.
Additional projects[edit]
In 1997, McLachlan co-wrote and provided guest vocals on the Delerium song "Silence" for their album Karma. This song achieved a massive amount of US top 40 airplay when released as a single in late 2000 and also featured on the soundtrack for the movie Brokedown Palace. In 2001, McLachlan provided background vocals, guitar, and piano on the closing track "Love Is" from Stevie Nicks' eighth solo album, Trouble in Shangri-La, in addition to drawing the dragon used for the "S" in Stevie's name on the album cover. In May 2002, her duet with Bryan Adams was released on the Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron soundtrack. She sang harmonies and played the piano on the song "Don't Let Go" while Sood did the drum work.
In 1998, in addition to performing her own set, she performed a cover of Cat Stevens' "Sad Lisa" with rock band Phish at the annual Bridge School Benefit concert in California, hosted by Neil Young. During 1999, she released a live album, Mirrorball. The album's singles included a new live version of her earlier song, "I Will Remember You", a studio recording of which had previously been released on The Brothers McMullen soundtrack as well as Rarities, B-Sides and Other Stuff. The song was released as a single twice, once in 1995 where it peaked #65 on the US billboard hot 100 and #10 in Canada, and again in 1999 at #14 on the US billboard hot 100 and #10 in Canada. The 1999 version garnered McLachlan her third Grammy Awards for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance (for "I Will Remember You") in 2000.
In 1999, McLachlan (as the singing voice of "Jessie") recorded the Randy Newman song "When She Loved Me" on the Toy Story 2 soundtrack. This song was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Song in 2000, and McLachlan performed it at the awards ceremony, but the award went to "You'll Be in My Heart" from Tarzan, written and recorded by Phil Collins.
McLachlan also participated in several concerts during her break, such as Sheryl Crow's Live from Central Park in 1999, the Arista Records twenty-fifth anniversary celebration in 2000, as well as the 2002 British Columbia Cancer Foundation Benefit Concert in memory of cancer victim Michele Bourbonnais. She participated along with four other Canadian artists: Bryan Adams, Jann Arden, Barenaked Ladies, and Chantal Kreviazuk.
Guest appearances[edit]
In 1993, she appeared as a guest vocalist on albums by Blue Rodeo (Five Days in July) and Stephen Fearing (The Assassin's Apprentice).
In 1995, she contributed to "A Testimonial Dinner", an XTC tribute album, covering the song "Dear God".
In 1997, she appeared as herself on the television series (Ellen) Season 5 episode 12 "Womyn Fest" and performed.
In November 2006, McLachlan performed the song "Ordinary Miracle" for that year's feature film, Charlotte's Web. The song was written by Glen Ballard and David A. Stewart of Eurythmics. McLachlan was the subject of rumours of an Oscar nomination for the song, but in the end was not nominated. She helped to promote the song and movie by performing it on The Oprah Winfrey Show as well as during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. She also performed the song during the opening ceremony of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, in front of an estimated 3 billion television viewers worldwide.
In early 2007, she sang on Dave Stewart's Go Green, alongside Nadirah X, Imogen Heap, Natalie Imbruglia, and others.[17]
In 2007, McLachlan's song "Answer" featured in The Brave One starring Jodie Foster.
McLachlan also appeared on Annie Lennox's album, Songs of Mass Destruction. Together with Madonna, Céline Dion, Pink, Sugababes, Angélique Kidjo, k.d. lang, Faith Hill, Fergie, Melissa Etheridge, Bonnie Raitt, Shakira, Anastacia, Joss Stone, Dido, and KT Tunstall, she performed on the song "Sing".
In 2010, McLachlan appeared as herself on the television series Life Unexpected and performed. On September 8, 2010, McLachlan performed and sang "Forgiveness" from her 2010 album Laws of Illusion on a semi-final show of America's Got Talent; she did so again on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, two days later.
Sarah appeared alongside Aimee Mann on the IFC series Portlandia, as a pinata and a yard maintenance person.
On November 22, 2010, McLachlan again performed and sang "Forgiveness" this time on the Regis and Kelly show.
On September 10, 2011, she performed I Will Remember You and Angel at a ceremony in Stonycreek, Pennsylvania, commemorating the passengers and crew of hijacked United Airlines Flight 93 who fought the hijackers and brought down their airplane on September 11, 2001. The event marked the dedication of the Flight 93 National Memorial and was attended by former President George W. Bush, former First Lady Laura Bush, former President Bill Clinton, Vice President Joe Biden and Speaker John Boehner.[18]\
Awards and achievements[edit]
McLachlan has been nominated for twenty-one Juno Awards and awarded eight. In 1992, her video for "Into the Fire" was selected as best music video. In 1998, she won Female Vocalist of the Year, Songwriter of the Year (along with Pierre Marchand), Single of the Year for "Building a Mystery", and Album of the Year for Surfacing. In 2000, she won an International Achievement award and in 2004, won Pop Album of the Year for Afterglow and again shared the Songwriter of the Year award with Pierre Marchand for the singles "Fallen", "World on Fire", and "Stupid."
She has also won three Grammy Awards. She was awarded Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 1997 for "Building a Mystery" and again in 1999 for the live version of "I Will Remember You." She also scored Best Pop Instrumental Performance in 1997 for "Last Dance."
Her song "Building A Mystery" came in at 91 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of the 90s.[19]
McLachlan has been extensively profiled by media including cover stories for Rolling Stone, Time magazine, Entertainment Weekly and Flare, a Canadian fashion magazine.
Through her career, she has also received many awards, primarily in recognition of her efforts in launching Lilith Fair. She was awarded the Elizabeth Cady Stanton Visionary Award in 1998 for advancing the careers of women in music. In 1999, she was appointed as an Officer of the Order of Canada by then-Governor General Adrienne Clarkson in recognition of her successful recording career, her role in Lilith Fair, and the charitable donations she made to women's shelters across Canada. In 2001, she was inducted to the Order of British Columbia.
On February 12, 2010, McLachlan performed her song "Ordinary Miracle" at the opening ceremony of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
On June 15, 2011, she was recognized with an honorary degree from Simon Fraser University.[20]
Kiwanis International presented her with the 2013 Kiwanis International World Service Medal to recognize her for founding the Sarah McLachlan School of Music, a free music school for at-risk youth in Vancouver, British Columbia.[21]
On November 20, 2013, McLachlan was recognized with an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree from the University of Alberta.[22][23]
Sarah McLachlan School of Music[edit]
McLachlan also funds an outreach program in Vancouver that provides music education for inner city children. In 2007, the provincial government announced $500,000 in funding for the outreach program.[24] Originating at the "Sarah McLachlan Music Outreach", this program evolved into the Sarah McLachlan School of Music. This program provided children with high quality music instruction in guitar, piano, percussion and choir.[25]
In 2011 McLachlan opened the Sarah McLachlan School of Music in Vancouver, a free music school for at-risk youth. The School of Music provides group and private lessons to hundreds of young people every year. It is their goal that through music education, students will develop a love of the arts and have greater self-esteem.[26]
Select VIP tickets for her 2014 summer tour will also feature a charitable contribution to the School of Music.[27]
She supports the ASPCA by appearing in advertisements. She filmed a two-minute advertisement for the organization which featured her song "Angel".[28] The advertisement's imagery of shelter animals mixed with the soundtrack and McLachlan's simple appeal for donations has raised $30 million for the ASPCA since it began to air in 2006, which allowed the organization to air appeals in higher profile prime-time cable ad slots; subsequently the organization produced a new ad for the 2008 holiday season featuring McLachlan appealing for the ASPCA over her Wintersong performance of "Silent Night", and a new ad with her was released in January 2009 featuring the song "Answer".[28] In 2012, McLachlan wrote a letter on behalf of PETA to Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, protesting that country's annual seal hunt.[29] During Super Bowl XLVIII on February 3, 2014, McLachlan parodied her ASPCA appeals in an Audi commercial featuring a "Doberhuahua" dog gnawing on the neck of her guitar.[30] McLachlan contributed the track "Hold On" to the 1993 AIDS-benefit album No Alternative, produced by the Red Hot Organization. She also performed at the Leonard Peltier Defense Fund Benefit Concert on February 12, 1997 and went on to release a cover version of Unchained Melody created as part of her support for Peltier. It was later included on the album Rarities, B-Sides and Other Stuff Volume 2.[31]
Other Charitable Contributions[edit]
In early 2005, McLachlan took part in a star-studded tsunami disaster relief telethon on NBC. On 29 January McLachlan was a headliner for a benefit concert in Vancouver along with other Canadian superstars such as Avril Lavigne and Bryan Adams. The show also featured a performance by the Sarah McLachlan Musical Outreach Choir & Percussion Ensemble, a children's choir and percussion band from the aforementioned Vancouver outreach program. In addition to her own headliner show she also joined Delerium live on stage for their first-ever performance of "Silence". The concert was titled One World: The Concert for Tsunami Relief, and raised approximately $3.6 million for several Canadian aid agencies working in south and southeast Asia. The show was the brainchild of McLachlan's manager, Terry McBride, CEO of Nettwerk. It ran for four hours and aired live on CTV across Canada.
In 2008, she donated a song to Aid Still Required's CD to assist with the restoration of the devastation done to Southeast Asia from the 2004 Tsunami.
On July 2, 2005, McLachlan participated in the Philadelphia installment of the Live 8 concerts, where she performed her hit "Angel" with Josh Groban. These concerts, which were held simultaneously in nine major cities around the world, were intended to coincide with the G8 summit to put pressure on the leaders of the world's richest nations to fight poverty in Africa by cancelling debt.
For raising millions of dollars for causes including women's charities, AIDS sufferers and inner-city kids, Simon Fraser University conferred on McLachlan the degree of Doctor of Fine Arts, honoris causa on June 13, 2011.[32]
On 30 November 2012, McLachlan lent her support to Kate Winslet's Golden Hat Foundation together with Tim Janis, Loreena McKennitt, Andrea Corr, Hayley Westenra, Sleepy Man Banjo Boys, Dawn Kenney, Jana Mashonee, Amy Petty and a choir etc performing on "The American Christmas Carol" concert in Carnegie Hall.[33][34][35]
On 29 June 2013, McLachlan was awarded the Kiwanis International World Service Medal for her dedication to music education and working to improve the quality of life for young children.[36]

Society The toys, the ads and the reality shows are turning children into consumers of beauty products. Serish Nanisetti follows the marketeers tricks
Maska maska chikatilo…'
The husky risqué voice rises in crescendo and a young girl perhaps 10 or twelve wearing a heavily embroidered —mirror worked bustier, short skirt and her midriff bare, taps her right foot, makes faces and dances. Her mother sitting in the audience sits proudly and watches as three judges sit and evaluate the girl's performance on the strobe-lit dance floor. This is one of the dance shows on a Telugu channel that keeps young girls engrossed. Interspersed during the ad breaks are advertisements of girls whispering to their mothers or mothers whispering about saving a penny or two for a particular brand sanitary pad.
You may think Popeye- The Sailor is about the spinach chomping sailor. But there is an undercurrent of sexuality that runs through it. It is about the men fighting for Olive Oyl. Listen to the Hindi or Telugu version on the Cartoon Network and you will be left wondering whether the fare is for children or adults.
While the mandarins of morals and ministers work themselves into a tizzy about sex education in schools, bar girls and cheerleaders, the marketeers are successfully going about their task of doing just that albeit with a twist; i.e. "sexualisation of tween girls aged between 8 and 12." This is the conclusion drawn by Gigi Durham in her The Lolita Effect written after a 13-year study in the U.S.
Impossible body
"A lot of very sexual products are being marketed to very young kids. I'm criticising the unhealthy and damaging representations of girls' sexuality, and how the media present girls' sexuality in a way that's tied to their profit motives.
"The body ideals presented in the media are virtually impossible to attain, but girls don't always realise that, and they'll buy an awful lot of products to try to achieve those bodies. There's endless consumerism built around that," she has been quoted as saying.
"Maa", is no longer a moviedom's cliché. It is used to sell coconut hair oil, or the lice killer formulation that keeps the daughter's tresses long and shiny. It isn't enough to drink a cappuccino but you need to have that brown moustache and be admired by the boys.
Low confidence
"It is very tough being a teenager today. TV erodes the young person's self-confidence. I had this girl who was good at whatever she did but was obsessed with her hair fall. She would imagine that the whole world is watching her head only," says Aruna Ranadhir who counsels as well as trains psychology counsellors. "Only if parents, teachers and the extended family reinforce their self-esteem we can break this trap. Most young girls end up feeling low and wanting something that is physically unattainable. Continuous exposure to TV can create hard to break stereotypes," she says.
Cheerleaders are another gauntlet thrown at the really young ones. At one level cheerleading is a play with latent and potent libido of the older folks, but for young girls it is a harmless pursuit turning them into unwitting sex objects. For them it is about being pretty, fair skin, rouged cheeks, pouting lips, flouncy colourful clothes and be the centre of attention the continuum of the message to be fair and desirable is a perfect marketing formula.
The same obsession with the body and appearance is pursued. It isn't enough that the U-12 dance show children dance well, the blokes sitting as judges pass comments about the teeth, the hairstyle and toning of the body.
Children no longer aspire to be clowns like Tom Sawyer when the circus is in town, they want to be sexy like the dancer on the floor, have a body and clothes to match. Then there will be advertisements about how to go about acquiring it. The sexualisation message is complete.
The five myths n If you've got it, flaunt it. n How to achieve the anatomy of a sex goddess. n Pretty babies. n Sexual violence. Girls don't choose boys; boys choose girls — and only hot girls.

Prospect Heights
Runs from Flatbush Avenue to the west, Atlantic Avenue to the north, Eastern Parkway to the south and Bedford Avenue to the east.
Replete with Italianate and Greek Revival rowhouses, much of the neighborhood of Prospect Heights is actually considered a historic district. Many of the co-ops are situated within wide nineteenth century brownstones, divided up into apartments. You can also find larger apartment buildings that have more amenities like a live-in super and shared laundry. The neighborhood has recently been the recipient of one of the most magnificent buildings in Brooklyn, One Prospect Park, Richard Meier's glass masterpiece. Large balconies, Zuma soaking tubs, microwave ranges in the kitchens, and wiring for motorized shades are few of many amenities that bring a new standard of luxury to Prospect Heights condominiums.
