Jalandhar Cantonment is one of the oldest contonments in India, the construction of which was started in 1848 after the first Anglo-Sikh War, when the British settled in Northern India. It figured in the 1920 Connaught Rangers mutiny when Irish soldiers replaced the Union Flag with the Irish Republic's flag. The original scope of this cantonment was limited to troops to quell disturbances from adjoining States for the maintenance of peace and order. The departure of British from India and subsequent partition of the country changed the complexion of the Cantonment. It has gained tremendous importance on account of its nearness to the border with Pakistan. The Cantonment is located between latitude 30 degree 18' and longitude 75 degree 37' on the South West and at a distance of 2 km from Cantonment Railway Station and 5 km from City Railway Station. It is situated beside Grand Trunk Road at a distance of 89 km from Amritsar and 371 km from Delhi. It covers an area of 5.87 sq.miles. It is on Amritsar-Delhi Broad Gauge Main Line. A Class-I airfield at Adampur is situated at a distance of 19 km. The airfield is linked with Jalandhar Cantonment by rail and road. Jalandhar Cantonment has traditionally housed Jalandhar Garrison. Its history dates back to 1865 when it was raised as Jalandhar Garrison by Colonel JN Bishop. In 1904 it was redesignated as Jalandhar Brigade under command of Maj Gen JAH Pollock, CB. Brig Gen REH Dyer of the notorious Jalianwala Bagh episode commanded it from 1917 to 1919. The first Indian Commander was Brig Lakwinder Singh, MBE who took over from Brig RCB Bristow, OBE in 1947.
The total area of this cantonment is 1521 hectares including civil area as per 2001 census, the total population is 40521.
There are two Government Hospitals. The Cantonment General Hospital was erected by all ranks of XXIX Punjabis in memory of those of this Regiment killed during the First World War. The Military Hospital is one of the biggest in the State.
Jalandhar is known as the town of sports. Sports materials manufactured in Jalandhar are exported to various countries. The neighboring village of Sansarpur is known as the Nursery of Hockey Players. The Cantonment is proud of producing maximum number of hockey players from Cantonment Board Schools. Sarvshri Balbir Singh, Gurdev Singh, Tarsem Singh, Harbinder Singh, Lt Col Hari Prasad Singh Kaushik and Ajit Pal Singh, all Olympians are products of these Schools.
There used to be a Hall of Prayers where people from all religions used to assemble and offer prayers. The building is non existent now having outlived its life. However, a small concrete column with Ashoka Emblem on top, still signifies the existence of the Hall on the Southern end of the cantonment.
There is one of the oldest buildings of Jalandhar which was being used for school purposes. His Royal Highness Prince of Wales KBMC inaugurated it on 25 February 1922. The building was occupied by the SIKH and DOGRA troops during 1947. The building presently houses the headquarters of a Corps and presents a majestic look from Grand Trunk Road.

It has a cantonment Bazar known as Sadar Bazar and two well stocked Canteens/Shopping Centres which meet the day to day requirements of the population. The management of the Sadar Bazar is through Cantonment Board and other institutes are run by the Army for its serving personnel and ex-servicemen.
There are three Kendriya Vidyalayas and one Army School under the management of the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan and Army. In addition to above, there is one Girls College, One Girls Senior Secondary School and four other Schools and Colleges for boys and girls. There are number of private primary schools within the Cantonment.
There is a Military Dairy Farm in approximately 650 acres of land. This institute provides dairy products for daily use of the troops and locals.
An annual flower show is held in this Cantonment from the British period. It is organised by the Cantonment Board with the help of Jalandhar Garrison. It has inspired the residents of the Cantonment as well as Jalandhar City to take greater interest in flower and plants.
The Cantonment is proud of the following additional facilities:-

The Philadelphia Flyers are stockpiling defensemen ahead of the NHL trade deadline in one week.
Since this past Saturday, they have acquired defenseman Pavel Kubina from the Tampa Bay Lightning for a prospect and a pair of draft picks. They also acquired their second defenseman this week after picking up Nicklas Grossman from the Dallas Stars on Thursday.
As we all know by now, the Flyers have been after a left-side defenseman to help fill the gap since losing Chris Pronger to a concussion, and Grossman should be able to do that.
The big Swedish blueliner probably won't be picking up any of the offensive slack that Pronger left behind, mind you. Grossman, 27, has never been a prolific scorer. He had two pro assists with Södertälje SK when the Stars drafted him 56th overall in 2004, and he wasn't a late-bloomer by any stretch: Grossman has scored 7 goals since coming to North Americain 2005; 4 of which came with the Iowa Stars of the AHL.
However, keep in mind that this player was in no means acquired to serve the purpose of a 'scoring gun', he is on the Philly squad to build up our defensive line and we can all admit that this is a more crucial void to fill. Flyers offense is there and they have proven that in past games, the defense has suffered since Pronger has been out and the rookies trying to find their groove to fill this gap.
The prospect in the deal for Tampa is left wing Jon Kalinski, who has 12 points in 40 American Hockey League games this season. The Lightning also get a second-round pick in 2012 or 2013 and a fourth-rounder in 2013.
Kalinski was a key defensive component of the Phantoms and the heart of the penalty kill. He'll be much tougher to replace than his 12 points in 40 games would suggest.
Kalinski, likely assigned toNorfolk, will make an already strong Admirals team all the better. They have won six straight and are second in the conference.
Kubina was held out of Tampa Bay's lineup the past two games because Lightning general manager Steve Yzerman was shopping him.
Kubina has three goals and 11 points in 52 games. He has 110 goals and 382 points in 953 career games.
He is in the final year of a two-year contract and will become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season.
This deal gives the Lightning 5 picks in the first two rounds. On Thursday, the Lightning picked up an additional 2nd round draft choice from the San Jose Sharks (via the Minnesota Wild) in a deal that sent Dominic Moore to San Jose. The other extra 2012 2nd round draft choice from the Flyers came in exchange of Andrej Meszaros in the summer of 2010.
The draft selection Philadelphiais sending the Lightning in the Kubina trade isFlorida's 2nd round pick, which is a conditional selection that will be in either the 2012 or 2013 NHL draft. It was obtained by the Flyers in the Kris Versteeg trade.
The goaltending situation is an entirely different aspect and a separate article that will follow shortly. One step at a time for this squad to focus, double down and make it to the playoffs this 2012 season. The only goaltender this fan would like to see join the Flyers roster would have to be Nabokov, I have been impressed with him since The Flyers squared off against him and honestly, if we go there we need a stronger prospect in our net than has lacked since the days of Hextall.
I will not even begin to talk about who may be dealt if this was to come about, because there are still endless possibilities than can develop. Like I said, another article to come.
If a goaltender is not Holmgren's next move, there is still time for even one more defensemen to possibly join the roster...only the next week will tell for sure.
It is important to keep in mind that this current Flyers squad is one in a process of 'reconstructive progress', as this is how this fan attempts to remain positive and keep my mind as a Bullies fan since 1974. This team does hold serious potential to become a franchise to tangle with in the coming years within the NHL.
If these picks do not pan out, surely they can and will be moved within either the off-season or the within the next coming NHL season. Remember how short Kris Versteeg's stay was in the City of Brotherly Love…as well as Leno. So we are not stuck in terms with either newly acquired defensemen, so let's look to the future and hope for the best.
The Flyers next game is slated for this coming Tuesday evening, Feb. 21 @ Winnipeg 7:00 PM, televised on CSN.

A searching look at the financial and spiritual crises besetting America's churches.
At a time when overworked clergy are already being called upon by budget cutting politicians to do more for the poor, the sick and the elderly, American churches are suffering persistent financial shortfalls. In fact, contrary to popular media images of millionaire televangelists, America's churches are cutting back programs and staff, clergy salaries are stagnating and many parishes are having trouble raising enough money to keep the church lit and heated on Sunday. Why are America's churches in financial distress? Robert Wuthnow, a leading commentator on religious life in America, asserts that the steady drop in donations, volunteering and personal involvement is a direct result of a spiritual crisis, a crisis caused in large part by the clergy's failure to address the vital relationships between faith and money, work, stewardship, giving and economic justice. In The Crisis in the Churches Wuthnow offers a searching study of this financial crisis and of the spiritual vacuum that has silently grown worse during the past decade. To do this, he lets the churches speak for themselves, quoting extensively from interviews with clergy and laity in sixty Protestant and Catholic congregations throughout the U.S., and drawing from the texts of over 200 sermons, from church financial records and a national survey. What emerges is that parishioners often feel the church does not care about what they do from Monday to Friday, offers no guidance in their most pressing day to day concerns, yet always seems to be asking for more money. Clergy, for their part, say they hesitate to talk about finances because they know "the money question" makes people uncomfortable. But failure to raise the subject often makes it necessary to cut the very programs and services that middle class parishioners desire and would support. Wuthnow argues that in order to survive, churches must find ways to minister to the economic concerns of their own middle class parishioners. Indeed, of every $1000 received by churches, $900 comes from people who work in middle class occupations. Clearly, anything that motivates middle class members to become more involved will strengthen a church's financial well-being and capacity to serve its people. Although the situation is critical, Wuthnow finds much cause for hope. He points to ideas and programs that some churches have enacted to challenge their members to think differently about work and money and giving. Parishioners sometimes respond positively when clergy speak boldly and concretely about matters of faith and finance, and some churches have formed small groups whose members meet regularly to discuss issues of spirituality, work, personal finances and stewardship. A serious and sympathetic examination of the crisis behind the stained glass, this thought-provoking volume will be highly valuable both practically and as moral support to clergy, parishioners and anyone else concerned about restoring vitality and significance to American churches.

Editors' Review
+If Sony ACID Pro is a little too rich and advanced for your blood, the slightly simpler and much cheaper ACID Music Studio may be right up your alley. Version 8 of the program builds upon the already robust music recording, mixing, and creation tools with several new features and enhancement, and yet the $64.95 licensing fee won't break the bank (you can try it for free for 30 days). But don't be fooled by the lack of a "professional" designation in the title: ACID isn't geared for newbies but for serious music aficionados with some experience with music production software.
ACID Music Studio 8's look and feel is similar to that of the Pro version. A multitrack editing window dominates the screen at the center top, while a dual-tabbed Explorer/Plug-In manager resides below, just to the left of the mixing console. The interface is tidy and utilitarian overall, but it will likely overwhelm newcomers. The good news is that Sony includes a host of tutorials, including seven that are new to this version, such as "how to use the mixing console" and "how to use tempo change markers." Those unfamiliar with ACID would be wise to make use of them.
As would be expected, ACID Music Studio includes all the standard audio production features. There are tools for recording, editing, and mixing live vocals, instruments, and MIDI input. Plus, you can create all-digital songs with over 3,000 music loops. You can also output to a variety of formats, including CD, PSP, iPod, iPhone, and MP3, and the program allows for easy online sharing.
New features in ACID 8 include a new audio- and MIDI-mixing console that offers the appearance of a traditional hardware-based mixer, which provides an integrated view of all tracks as well as time-stretching and pitch-shifting tools. In addition, you get enhanced remixing tools, including Beatmapper, which automatically finds the tempo of a completed song. There's also cross-track drag-and-drop for greater efficiency; Zplane elastique Pro and Efficient time-stretch methods for dramatic pitch shifts; a metronome count-off feature; and AAC and FLAC format support.
In all, the latest update for ACID Music Studio offers a compelling array of new additions for an affordable price point. The ACID-faithful should be pleased.
Publisher's Description
It s easy to create and share your own music with ACID Music Studio software. Build original songs, remixes, and soundtracks. Record, edit, and mix unlimited tracks of audio and MIDI. Enhance songs with professional audio effects such as EQ, reverb, delay, distortion, and echo. Add pan and volume envelopes, reverse audio, and change pitch and tempo in real-time.

text: on Aug 1, 2013 @ 6:32 PMAug 1, 2013 @ 6:32 PM PublishedNew pipe project a step toward fulfilling Harper's dream of an energy legacyOTTAWA - Apparently stymied to the West and possibly to the South, the Harper government's pipe dreams for turning Canada into an energy superpower got a measure of credibility with Thursday's unveiling of a plan to carry Alberta crude east.The $12 billion Energy East proposal to pipe crude from Alberta to the Atlantic — once considered the least likely escape route for the landlocked resource — has overnight vaulted as the pipeline with the best prospects for success, and the most politically appealing.Transversing six provinces and some 4,400 kilometres, the West-East route would appear to bring the Harper Conservatives the prospects of votes all along the way, if they can avoid the pitfalls.On the plus side, it is the only pipe proposal of four that would see Canadian oil actually refined in Canada for domestic customers east of Manitoba. All the others are mere conduits for exporting unprocessed crude to Asia or the U.S.And since 70 per cent of the pipe is already in place, it is one of the least environmentally intrusive."It does seem that this is the pipe Canadians are more willing to get behind," said Warren Mabee, an energy expert at Queens University. "This may be a little bit of a legacy for Harper and his government."The federal government has placed more than a few of its eggs for economic growth in the oil basket — not just to shore up support in its western base, but also to boost economic growth and government tax revenues generally.Harper laid out his vision to establish Canada as an energy superpower as far back as 2006 during a speech to the U.K. Chamber of Commerce, but the boast had of late seemed empty given there was no reliable way to get add-on oilsands production — set to expand from about 3.2 million barrels a day to more than five million in the next decade — to market. Proposals for a Keystone XL pipeline to the Gulf of Mexico, or the Northern Gateway pipe to the B.C. coast, have met stiffening — and in the latter case possibly insurmountable — opposition. A fourth project to twin the current Kinder Morgan TransMountain pipeline to the B.C. coast would appear to have better odds because it doesn't involve obtaining new rights of way.Conservative strategist Tim Powers says it is likely not in the cards that all four will proceed, but if Harper can witness progress in two over the next couple of years, the political benefits could be significant.The projects promise to create thousands of jobs, both temporary and permanent. The Energy East proposal would also see work created at refineries and ports in Montreal, Quebec City and Saint John.As well, Scotiabank energy analyst Patricia Mohr notes if eastern refineries are able to substitute current sources of crude from Nigeria, Saudi Arabia and the North Sea with less expensive Alberta oil, consumers in Quebec, Ontario and Atlantic Canada may benefit through lower pump prices."2015 is an important date and if you are the government you would like to see one or two of these projects in motion," said Powers of the next election campaign."The prime minister gets a lot of criticism for not engaging in first ministers meetings, but he's actually doing arguably something tangible by engaging in pretty open and overt economic nationalism by creating the conditions for economic growth. And people tend to vote on whether they are getting a pay check," not symbolism, he added.Some analysts caution that the West-East pipeline idea may be put on the back burner if TransCanada is able to get its first choice, Keystone XL, approved by President Barack Obama.But there are economic — as well as political — merits to all or at least three projects proceeding, says Todd Crawford, an economist with the Conference Board of Canada."We need pipelines running west where we can easily access Asian-Pacific markets, we need the Keystone XL running south, and we need one going east to allow some of the other Canadian provinces to take advantage of the huge gains in oil production in western Canada," he said.Still, pipeline politics have proved unpredictable in the past. Harper originally assessed Keystone XL as "a no-brainer."In the cast of the West-East route, most of the affected premiers appear to be on side, but Quebec's Pauline Marois has not fully endorsed the plan, saying last week the province would have to study the proposal.And already civil society groups are gearing for a fight. The Council of Canadians declared they were preparing a national campaign to block the project, and environmental groups ranging from Greenpeace to the Sierra Club decried the environmental costs, including the risk of leakage and potential spills in New Brunswick's Bay of Fundy.NDP energy critic Peter Julian, who said his party supports the proposal in principle, advised the government to learn a lesson from the ham-handed way it handled Keystone and pay attention to the real environmental issues involved."There's no doubt that moving oil west to east can be a win-win," he said, "(but) Canadians will need to have confidence that the project is sustainable and the approval process is fair and open."
