Socio Cultural Impact Under The British Rule
Socio Cultural Impact Under The British Rule
Socio Cultural Impact Under the British rule was apparently visible in Indian education and ways of life.
The British era is considered one of the most eventful eras in the history of India. The era brought about a lot of changes in almost every aspect of the Indian society. The socio cultural impact under the British rule was probably the most prominent one amongst them. The rational and scientific outlook of the British way of life influenced the Indian society from the very beginning of the British imperialism. The art, architecture, painting, literature, poetry, drama, novels and even Indian religion and philosophy were greatly influenced by the western thoughts. However, most of the changes were not brought about by the British people. The English educated Indian people like the journalists, teachers, lawyers, doctors, etc. took the responsibility of leading movements for making the significant socio cultural changes.
The socio cultural impact under the British rule started with the establishment of various English schools in different cities of India. The British rulers first studied the Indian languages, literature, religion and social structure and then educated the Indians in English to establish a new administrative structure. The British Governor, Warren Hastings (1772-85) was a supporter of 'Orientalism' and during his tenure, the British rulers demonstrated linguistic proficiency, a deep understanding of India and a sense of benevolent responsibility in regard to the Indian people. He established the Calcutta Madrassah for the Muslim officials of the East Company and the students were taught in Persian in this institution. The Orientalist dream of Hastings was taken forward by Lord Wellesley, who established the Fort William College to train the civil servants.
The scholars at the Fort William College in Calcutta started to translate the ancient texts, write grammars, compile dictionaries and collect manuscripts to research further on India. On the other hand, the Baptist missionaries in Serampore became successful to print works in the Indian vernacular languages like Bengali, Urdu, Oriya, Tamil, Telugu, Kanarese and Marathi. Many individuals and organisations also started to study literature in both classical and vernacular languages during that period. As a result, the importance of the vernacular languages increased. The demand for the use of English as the language of administration and education was also increased during that time. The scenario was similar in Bombay, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and other parts of India.
During the first half of the nineteenth century, the British rulers decided to make English as the primary medium of education in India. They also envisioned the creation of a class of people in India that would act as a link between the rulers and ruled. The class would also become a source of inexpensive manpower for the lower levels of the administration. With the efforts made by the British, knowledge in English soon became a key to get government services for the Indians. It also became a key to make successful careers in the fields like law, medicine, teaching, business, journalism, etc. The Indian people started to learn English to get advantage in professional and other fields. With the establishment of various educational institutions, the number of English educated Indians increased significantly.
Indian response to new opportunities created by the British was determined largely by their place in pre-British society. At the height of the Orientalist period, scholars of Sanskrit, Arabic, Persian, and of South Asian learning were hired by such Indian educational institutes. With the shift to English education those castes that were already literate became students to master this new language; in practice this meant primarily Bengali Hindus of the Brahman, Baidya, and Kayastha castes. Earlier individuals from these groups learnt Persian to gain employment under the Mughal and post-Empire Muslim rulers. With the influence of the British on the mode of education they switched to English.
By the late nineteenth century, new anglicized elite began to establish institutions to serve their own interests. For instance in 1816, the Hindu College in Kolkata was founded. On the other hand in 1825 the Elphinstone Institute was established in Bombay (Mumbai). These educational institutes were primarily responsible for producing the core of English educated elite. A trend toward English education and the acceptance of western knowledge appeared in Poona. In 1832, the government founded an English high school. To counter this socio-cultural impact of the British ways several associations were formed across India to revive the ancient Indian traditions.
Besides education western models and English pattern were followed in the social etiquette, dress, eating habits, dwelling units, awareness in the public and hygiene, new modes of entertainment etc were penetrated deep into the Indian way of life and society. Although the traditional Indian habits were dominating in the countryside, the western outlook influenced the inhabitants of the urban India. With the arrival of the British people in India, the rapid changes took place in the mainstream of Indian society. The international currents influenced the Indian pattern of social outlook, dress, food habits and even fashion with the British rule in India.
The British rulers built town hall after the Renaissance palazzi style, railway stations in the Gothic cathedral style, government building and secretariat offices in the western style blended with the traditional Mughal style. However, the socio cultural impact under the British rule was more prominent in the urban areas rather than the rural areas, where the traditional Indian habits were in dominance. The socio-cultural influence was prominent in the field of painting as well. The eminent Indian painters like Ravi Verma, Abanindranath Thakur, Jamini Roy, etc were greatly influenced by the Western style. Apart from them, the great literary figures like Rabindranath Tagore, Aurobindo Ghosh, Sarojini Naidu, Mulk Raj Anand, R.K. Narayanan, etc. were also influenced by the English pattern and the spirit of Renaissance.
With the course of time, the way of learning in India was also influenced by the English style and the English words and idioms were penetrated into the vernacular languages. As a result, even the illiterate rural people in India were acquainted with the English terms and idioms. In this way, the socio cultural impact under the British rule completely spread through the Indian society and changed the courses of Indian pattern of socio-cultural life.

Is This The New Almond Milk? Try It For Yourself
I love making homemade cashew butter, but I have been playing around in my kitchen to create a delicious cashew milk instead. I use the milk to add rich flavor and texture to my breakfast quinoa porridge, or pour myself a glass with extra cinnamon when I need a refreshing treat on a hot summer day. Cashews are rich in protein and healthy fats, and they contain minerals such as zinc and magnesium, making them a stellar addition to a healthy diet.
Plus, you can use any leftover milk to make yourself a smoothie: Just add in a few dates, fresh fruits (banana works well), ice cubes, and your favorite fresh herbs. You've got a smoothie that you can feel good about slurping up — no additives, chemicals, or processed ingredients here.
Amie's Creamy Cinnamon Cashew Milk
Makes 5 cups
1 cup raw cashews
4 cups water
2 tbsp raw honey or maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla or almond extract
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
Pinch sea salt
Soak cashews in a large bowl filled with enough water to cover cashews by 2 inches. Cover with a towel and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
Drain and rinse cashews well, then add cashews and 3 cups water to a blender; puree until smooth. Then, add remaining water (depending on how creamy you want your milk), sweeteners, cinnamon, and sea salt. Puree until milk is at your desired consistency. (Optional: Strain milk through a fine-mesh strainer).
Store in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Build a botnet, go to jail- that's the way it should be. If all goes well, two botnet builders fromTexas will spend some real time in prison for building and spreading their botnet over the internet. According to court documents, David Anthony Edwards will plead guilty to charges that he and another
jerk man, Thomas James Frederick Smith, built a custom botnet called "Nettick", which they then tried to sell to cybercriminals at the rate of US$0.15 per infected computer. It's reassuring to see that the American entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well in Texas, and even more reassuring to see that justice is too.
In mid-August of 2006, Smith and Edwards allegedly used their homegrown botnet to attack one or more servers owned by a hosting company named "The Planet". This was done as a test to show a prospective customer that the botnet was for real. "After the test, the bot purchaser agreed to buy the source code and the entire botnet for approximately $3,000," prosecutors say in the indictment against the two men.
A month and a half after the attack on ThePlanet.com, Edwards and Smith compromised Texas Web hosting provider "T35 Hosting". They then stole the company's password database and vandalizedthe T35.net web site, part of which included publicly posting some of the stolen usernames and passwords.
Edwards faces up to 5 years in jail and a $250,000 fine for a single count of "conspiring to cause damage to a protected computer and to commit fraud".
Personally, I don't think 5 years is enough, but that's just me. Maybe I'm just overcome with joy at seeing a couple of botnet owners finally face some real consequences for their actions. Botnet owners (along with spammers and malicious hackers) are the kind of people that ruin the net for everyone. Although I doubt sending these clowns to prison will have much deterrence value for other budding botnet builders, handing out some hard time for them may set a precedent for future cases where judges might be reluctant to incarcerate "white collar" criminals.

By Cara Howell
While travelling through the Andean region of South America, one cannot help but become enchanted with the haunting, beautiful sounds of traditional music playing anywhere from the street corner, to a festival, or in a bar. Andean music is not restricted to traditional sounds; African rhythms from the coast and salsa in the cities join to create a musical melting pot. For the traveler, music provides a fun medium to participate in a foreign culture. Music is a timeless accompaniment to entertainment, and as any Latin American traveler knows, wherever music is playing, a fiesta is just around the corner!
Andean musicians use a variety of instruments, some even dating to pre-Inca origins. Wind instruments compromise the majority of traditional music. Quenas are notched-end blown flutes with a fingering style similar to that of a recorder. They were once made of llama bone, but are now carved of wood. They produce a pentatonic, or five-note scale, which to ears trained to a European musical tradition, has a distinctly melancholy tone to it. The panpipes, also called antaras or zamponas, are played by blowing across the end of the pipes. This technique produces a breathy sound, which may be as high-pitched as a birdcall or as deep as the voice of a bassoon. Percussion is provided by a simple, deep voiced frame drum, called a tambar or a bombo.
The arrival of the Spaniards in the 1520's influenced Andean music with the introduction of strings. The result is a marriage of traditional and Hispanic instruments, which have evolved into uniquely Andean instruments, such as the charango, a small mandolin, made from the shell of an armadillo.
The Andean harp is another example, with its great, boat-like, half-conical sounding-box.
Today, Andean music is not only performed in the chincherias or cantinas frequented by Quechua speakers, but is also recorded in sound studios, on records, cassette tapes and CD's, and played on the radio. The primary form of popular music, which has evolved from traditional forms, is the wayno. The wayno constitutes a complex blend of poetry, music and dance. It is a rural music, like bluegrass for example, and each region has developed its own characteristic variation. It is typically played in 2/4 time with an insistent, infectious rhythm; the dance is usually performed by couples, their hands joined, with much stamping of feet to cries of mas fuerza, mas fuerza, or stronger, stronger!
The African influence in Andean music cannot be overlooked. Black slaves came to South America from different parts of Africa; thus their music became a mixture of these different regional forms. Gradually African music blended with Andean and Spanish rhythms, to emerge as music criolla. Dance grew up alongside Afro-Andean music. In Peru, for example, the zamacueca, an African dance, stands as the precursor of the stately and elegant marinera, which has become the national dance. Travelers may stumble across one of the frequent marinera dance competitions. The Festival de la Marinera in January is the biggest one. Chincha's Fiesta Negra in February is a good time to hear all kinds of Afro-Peruvian music.
Bolivia's national dance is the cueca, derived from the Chilean cueca, which in turn is a Creole adaptation of the Spanish fandango. Couples wave whirling handkerchiefs to 3-4 time. Cuecas are intended to convey a story of courtship, love, loss of love, and reconciliation. Some of the most unusual and colorful dances are those performed at festivals on the high Altiplano, particularly during Carnival. La Diablada, the Dance of the Devils, fiesta at Oruro draws a large number of both foreign and Bolivian visitors.
Those travelling through the Andean region of South America are sure to hear traditional music playing, perhaps as accompaniment while dining in a four star restaurant, or while relaxing at a local pena. The most typical nightlife in Peru and Ecuador is a pena, or a musica folklorica club. This is a popular form of entertainment for a variety of people, from government officials to campesinos. Concerts are informal affairs, accompanied by traditional music and plenty of drinking. Don't forget that many music stores in the United States and elsewhere sell a variety of traditional Andean music, so one can enjoy the sounds of the Andes long after the flight home.

David Michaels, acting fire chief, spoke at a York City Council work session, recommending the city do away with its Gamewell alarm box system, in place since the 1880s. Michaels expressed respect for the history, but eventually argued the system's maintenance costs are too much.
"It might be time," he said. "Do we really want to stay in the fire alarm business?"
Opinions varied.
Councilman Henry Nixon questioned the cost of those little red boxes on poles and city businesses, noting the $84,000 in annual revenue from business fees is largely canceled out by the cost of system maintenance.
That money might be better spent elsewhere, he said.
Councilman Michael Helfrich proposed a system giving business owners - now required to pay several hundred dollars to sign on - the option. Let's see who sticks with that system, and who pays a private company for more modern technology, he said.
"That would give us more of an understanding of the businesses who want to be a part of that (system) and those who don't," he said.
Right now, many city businesses are required to use the Gamewell alarm system. A fire alarm system is required, but Michaels is proposing the choice of provider should be left to individuals.
On Wednesday, the city council tabled any move in lieu of further review.
A 2010 study recommended removal of York's Gamewell boxes. But the debate continues.
Rick Merck, a former York County fire chief and city inspector, said the aging system has endured because of its speed - it's hardwired to the fire station- but added today there are other, third-party options perhaps better maintained.
"There is nothing that is faster than the Gamewell system," he said. "But you have to weigh speed versus reliability."
Michaels stressed any removal would be slow, with safety paramount.
"We're still going to have safe buildings," he said.

Industry Pro: Actress/Voiceover Artist Catherine Campion
Minneapolis native Catherine Campion's path to a successful entertainment career included a degree from agriculture school, a false-start early move to Los Angeles, real estate investment, a lot of miles racked up on her car by driving to auditions, and a fairy tale experience at an agent showcase. Though she is a successful professional, she is also an artist and hippie at heart, and her story should inpsire aspiring performers and other industry pros to be true to themselves. Read on for the complete story…
Current part / project: I recently narrated a program about malaria in Africa. I'm voicing national network TV spots for Subaru, Target, and Citgo, and I also booked a voiceover for Chevy TV spots. They loved my (recorded) audition so much that they're buying it. I don't even have to go into the studio. That almost never happens.
Hometown: Minneapolis, Minnesota
College and degree: University of Minnesota, College of Agriculture. I have a degree in natural resources and environmental studies with a focus on international sustainable development.
That's an interesting degree for an actress. I always knew I was going to be some kind of artist or performer at some point, but I thought it would be mundane to get a theater degree when I wasn't really necessarily doing theater for the long haul.
I assume if you had an internship, it wasn't entertainment-related. I didn't have an internship in college. But a few years ago, I interned in the print department at a commercial agency, mostly because I wanted the agent I interned for to rep me. Print was the one area that I didn't have representation for.
I feel compelled to point out that if you weren't getting college credit and you weren't getting paid, you weren't an intern. You were a volunteer. Yes, that's true. Most casting offices and bigger agencies do this. They could just hire an assistant. Instead, they have 10 actors who they call interns, each working half a day. Anyway, it was fun and I did learn about how that agency handles auditions, and alerting their talents about auditions. And I submitted to them, but they didn't take me on.
Getting back to the beginning of your career… Did you pursue acting right out of school? I actually paid my way through college doing commercials in the '80s and '90s. I was doing theater then, too. I did a show at The Guthrie, and one at the Guthrie Lab. I worked at the Children's Theater Company, which is the largest professional children's theater company in the country. It's Equity. They have a full adult staff and company and then they use children for the children's roles.
So what happened when you left school? I thought I might go into development. But then I traveled a lot in my 20s and discovered "developing the world" mostly meant making it more American and I wasn't interested in that. I know their intentions were good, but the road to hell is definitely paved with good intentions. (Laughing.) So I decided to go straight to hell and move to Los Angeles.
How did it go? I had no idea. I was not the bold, socially and professionally confident person in my 20s that I am in my 30s, now almost 40s. I didn't make any headway and I didn't put in any real effort. A lot of people move out here and, I think, just think being in L.A. will give them a greater chance of something happening. But the likelihood of something happening when you are not hustling is very low. Eventually, I moved back to Minneapolis and managed the local office of an L.A.-based film marketing company for two years long enough to establish a work history and good credit, and save up money. When I was 28 or 29, I bought a duplex that I still own and rent out.
So when did you decide to actually build an acting career? I never did. It just sort of happened. I always thought an acting career sounded boring because I grew up doing theater. I always got cast in shows that performed 50 to 150 times, Equity shows where it's like one or two shows a day, six days a week. I'd be going crazy by the 25th performance and then look at my schedule and see I had 125 more to do. So I never wanted to be a theater actress. That's for sure. But in Minneapolis, I was doing well with on-camera work, getting national commercials and the occasional indie film. Then I got cast in NORTH COUNTRY with Charlize Theron. I got the audition because I was in Minneapolis, where they were supposed to shoot. Then it got too cold to shoot in Minnesota – physically too cold — so they moved the shoot to New Mexico. I had a feeling I was out of the movie because
they'd hired me as a local. But I wasn't out. They ended up just flying me down to New Mexico and putting me up.
At that point, I decided if I was ever going to do Hollywood again, that was the time. I came out here to do the red carpet for NORTH COUNTRY and decided to stay. I went back home, packed up my stuff, and moved out here. I've been here for six years. I have had a lot of auditions and a lot of callbacks. And every year I book one or two SAG, ultra low budget Indie features that pay like $100 a day. They're fun to work on, but don't pay the bills. I'll occasionally book some local commercial or something else that is not a national network TV commercial. The biggest things I've booked as an on?camera actress were still when I was in Minneapolis.
What got you into being a voice artist? Three years ago, I met some people who were teaching voiceover. I studied and then I made a demo. I sent it to my agents back in Minneapolis and they started putting me up for voice work. I got regional agents in Denver, San Francisco, a pretty big agent in New York, Chicago, Atlanta. It added up to a little voiceover career for the past few years. I focused on commercial voiceover because I like making a lot of money in a very little period of time. That's where the money is both for on-camera actors and voiceover artists who are not celebrities. So I studied with a few of the best commercial teachers and created a demo with them, then shopped my demo around for two years here and didn't get a single bite.
So how did you get repped in Los Angeles? One of the few voiceover casting directors in town, Mary Lynn Wissner, hosts these agent nights where you pay $85 to be seen by an agent. I'd never done one. I didn't even know they existed. One night, this woman I know from the voiceover community, a fellow voice actress, emailed me from the event: "I really feel like you should meet this Abrams Artists agent. Abrams is one of the biggest voiceover agencies. I've heard great things. Just come meet him. You should be repped."
So I went and there are only four other people there. Normally, there would be ten or twelve people, but it was Memorial Day or something. I got there so late that everyone had already read for the agent. I was up. There was a stack of commercial copy, which is like the sides. I grabbed the top page and looked at it for three minutes, then went into the booth. It was an ad for Match.com, really sweet and heartfelt and romantic. I read it very sincerely. The agent, Dean Panaro, stopped me to ask who I was repped by. I told him nobody, locally. He told me to get out of the booth and come to his office the next day. "We're signing you tomorrow before someone else snatches you up."
Wow, couldn't go much better than that. It was like a fairy tale. I went in the next day and he already had three auditions lined up for me. I booked one of them my first day with them. The past few months, my career has taken off. Since I signed with Abrams, I've booked so many interesting things. They've given me access to the big fish that I didn't have access to with my little regional agents.
You're also a musician, right? Yes. I play cello and chord organ and sing. Most recently, I recorded with a french/multilingual band called Nadine et Terence; and another called Badlands, which is Maize Olinger and Zach Shields (from Dead Man's Bones, with Ryan Gosling). I really believe they're destined to go somewhere. I love both their music and their communication style in the session – very intuitive.
So what do you consider your big break? For a voiceover actress, my big break happened when Abrams took me on and I started booking so much through them.
Do you continue to train? You mentioned maybe training in animation voiceover? For voice artists, I actually recommend these things a lot of working professionals do called VOWG, Voiceover Workout Groups. But as far as classes go, my agent at Abrams has instructed me to not let anyone mess with my very successful read right now. Whatever my sound is, combined with my style, is very "now." I do want to get into animation, though, so I'm absolutely going to figure out who I will train with for that area.
Has ageism ever been a factor in your experience as an actor? Voiceover is beautifully one of the areas of acting that your age truly does not matter. There are women my age that can only sound like children and teenagers. And I have been voicing everyone from teenagers to senior citizens. Chronological age has nothing to do with that.
Okay, I'm looking for a eureka moment, when you realized that you did or did not want to do something or that you should do something differently. Mine is about what a perfect fit voiceover is for me. I had a head injury when I was 20; a pretty severe head injury. And memorizing dialogue for me is the most terrifying aspect of on?camera acting. Having the lines memorized at auditions is important, especially for TV. You don't want to be nervous that you will ruin expensive takes by not having your lines memorized. So voiceover is such a Godsend for me that I don't ever have to memorize anything.
What have your most significant projects been so far? I voiced Black Widow for the "Iron Man 2" game. I will probably be voicing her in "Iron Man 3" which is coming out, I think, next year. The Subaru spot was kind of a big deal. It was supposed to be a one-off, but they liked me so much that they hired me for another one. And I'm assuming they will use me again for that campaign. I did an H&R Block spot. It was an on?camera audition, but I had kind of improvised a little line and they liked it. I was playing a coffee shop girl, like I've done a lot of times in on?camera commercials. They recorded me saying the word, "thanks" as my coin hit the tip jar. That became my first national network TV voiceover because they had to pay me separately as a voice artist when they recorded the word "thanks" off camera.
What has been your favorite part or project? I'm really enjoying Subaru. They keep telling me how they love the way I say the word "Subaru." They tell me, "Your voice just makes me want to buy a Subaru."
What about your most difficult part or project? When I work outside of L.A. with regional people, I sometimes work directly with the client. So the person directing me might be the PR person or the copywriter at some little nonprofit or local oil company or something like that. Generally, these people simply are not trained to direct actors – they don't have the language down – so they often resort to line readings (when you ask the actor to parrot you), which rarely works.
Describe a typical workday. I sit at my computer and get auditions in from all my agents. I record the ones from my regional agents in my home recording studio, but most days, I drive to Abrams to do their auditions so I can work in their booth. I work like two to four hours a day with my auditioning, but the jobs themselves are not time consuming and I get joy from them.
What's the best thing about being a working actor? For me, acting has never been a real big passion. I'm more passionate about music, and acting is this incredible, fun, well paying day job. But, that said, I still can't believe how well I get paid to have so much fun in the voiceover world. It's just a bunch of really groovy, laid back, easy, fun, nice approachable, friendly, generous people, you know?
What's the worst thing about being a working actor? For an on-camera actress, driving to auditions. I'm so sick of driving to Santa Monica, Burbank and North Hollywood in one day competing for jobs with 30 other girls who look like me.
Brush with greatness (can be a celebrity encounter or just being exposed to someone being brilliant at what they do): I'm going to go with someone I've never met, the late Don LaFontaine. He's the famous voiceover artist, the guy who did all of those trailers that started, "In a world…" He had worked more union contracts than any person in the history of both SAG and AFTRA, like a hundred thousand or something. He would do several jobs a day, every day. He was making millions. He had a driver and limousine because he was always bouncing around to studios and stuff. Anyone who was interested in voiceover and approached him for advice could spend a day shadowing him. And every week, he selected one freebie voice job for, like, a USC student film or a nonprofit organization. He died a few years ago but his legacy is huge and he is really an inspiration to me and a lot of other voiceover artists.
Secret of your success/advice to the newbie: Really understand the current trends. For instance, in voiceover, right now the current trend is called conversational, which means: Sound like a person talking to a person. Also, I think people need to follow the proper order of things. A lot of people who are interested in getting into voiceover have contacted me to ask how I got my agent. I say, "Let me hear your demo." But they don't have a demo. And I ask, "Well, who have you trained with?" But they haven't trained with anybody. They figured they'd get an agent and then do that stuff. And I have to explain that you need to train, just like any other career. Then you get materials to promote yourself. Then you find someone to represent the "package," which is trained person with an arsenal of tools.
Next move (or next five moves): My goal is ultimately to not live in L.A. I came out here with the intention of making a bunch of money and not living here anymore. I have a group of friends; we're talking about pooling our resources, buying some property north of San Francisco, and then each building our own little tree house or a cottage or a cave or whatever, on it. So, to get there, I'm focusing on major national network commercial campaigns. And getting some big TV and movie animation jobs. So I guess the first step for me right now is training in animation and making an animation demo.

Martha Stewart And Gwyneth Paltrow, A Polite Battle Of Good Things
"I haven't eaten at Gwyneth's house," Stewart told Ruhle, "and I've never seen how she lives. But, if she's authentic, all the better. And, I mean, I certainly hope she is." Apparently Stewart is too busy reigning over her own empire to partake in the gossip. Us commoners are well aware of the flaw-free lifestyle Paltrow leads.
Stewart, on the other hand, couldn't give two shakes of an organic pepper mill. She acknowledged Paltrow's efforts in the interview, saying she must be doing something right in reference to Paltrow's best-selling cookbook. But, when it comes to who's Queen B, Stewart doesn't hesitate to cordially lay down the law: "She wants to be a lifestyle arbiter? Fine. Good. I think I started this whole category of lifestyle!" Amen, Martha, amen. Paltrow might be reveling in the quaint shine of polished silver utensils and a soapstone countertop, but give credit where credit is due, girl. (Radar)

RENO, Nev. - Nonprofit group Trinity Services, Inc. has been helping people with disabilities live full and abundant lives for nearly two decades.
"The need never goes away; there's always going to be people that are required to have these kinds of services and we're lucky enough to be able to offer that," Jen Hollis of Trinity Services said.
They've launched a fundraising campaign to improve their facilities and the services they can provide. The hope is to raise $5000 to give their buildings a make over and take advantage of new technology like Ipads.
"There's obviously a communication barrier with some of the individuals we work with and we have amazing technology now and applications that are able to kind of bridge that gap and increase communication skills," Hollis said. "Unfortunately we don't have the money to do that."
A lot of their clients live in residential comes and come to the day program during the week. Many have been coming to the center on South Rock Boulevard for years.
"I like the staff and the individuals here," client Katie Petersen said.
She's been attending the center since she graduated from high school
Two weeks into the campaign, community members are already showing their support. They've raised more than $4300 so far.
"We're raising money but we're also raising awareness," Hollis said. "Not many people know about the services we provide here and it's important for the community to understand who we are."

HOUSTON (November 29, 2012)—Jerry Hartfield, a Kansas man who remains in a Texas prison more than 30 years after his murder conviction was overturned, has become the subject of a fight between the state, which insists he's being legally held, and a federal appeals court that says he's wrongly imprisoned.
Hartfield's murder conviction was overturned in 1983, and the governor commuted his death sentence to life in prison 11 days later.
Hartfield's case didn't receive any more attention until 2006, when he filed a handwritten motion saying his constitutional right to a speedy trial had been violated because he hadn't been retried.
A new trial doesn't seem close.
On Wednesday, a federal appeals court sent his case back to the state appeals court, where it is likely to be tied up longer.

Cincinnati's Cronin's words were just that: Words
Posted on: December 11, 2011 2:12 pm
Edited on: December 11, 2011 3:53 pm
By Jeff Goodman
Mick Cronin's actions needed to be as forceful as his words.
They weren't.
Star big man Yancy Gates, after delivering a right-hand that knocked Xavier's fellow heavyweight to the floor, received a six-game suspension. Cincinnati also suspended Octavius Ellis and Cheikh Mbodj, who stomped on Frease while he was down on the court, for six games -- and Ge'Lawn Guyn for one game.
Gates should have received -- at minimum -- a 10-game penalty, maybe even being tossed from the team for good. Cronin talked a big game after Saturday's brawl, one that was embarrassing for all parties.
"We accept full responsibility and it will be handled," Cronin said. "There is zero excuse for that in basketball. ... The fact is the guys ... represent an institution of higher learning. Xavier has been a great school for years. We're trying to cure cancer at Cincinnati. I go to school at a place where they ... created Benadryl; I think that's more important than who wins a basketball game. And our guys need to have an appreciation that they're there on a full scholarship and they better represent the institution with class and integrity. ... I just told my guys I will meet with my AD and my president and I'm going to decide who is on the team going forward. That's what the University of Cincinnati is about. Period. I've never been this embarrassed."
Cronin talked about how these kids need to appreciate the value of education, how they need to act accordingly -- or they won't ever be allowed to put on a Bearcats uniform.
He had an opportunity to follow through with his strong message in the post-game news conference -- one that was applauded by nearly everyone. (Doyel: Cronin talked the talk)
Then he opted not to follow through on his strong statements, and hit Gates, who did his best Mike Tyson impression when he sent Frease to the canvas, with just six games.
I understand that it was a mistake, one Gates would love to take back. But it's not as though Gates has been the model citizen, either. He's been suspended by Cronin previously -- and the penalty should have been more severe for this transgression.
But winning is more important to Cronin. At least that's what his actions said.
He needs Gates, especially when Big East play rolls around.
Gates will miss games against Wright State, Radford, Arkansas Pine-Bluff, Chicago State, Oklahoma and Pittsburgh.
That's a grand total of one conference game.

Attitude like that is why these sorts of incedents happen.
Defending a kid who sucker punched a guy who wasn't even looking his way? In Ohio the penalty for simple assault (causing harm or attempting to cause harm to another person with no weapon involved) is up to 6 months in jail and this kid got 6 games. He got off incredibly easy and should realize it. Not onlycould he have been charged he could have connected fully on the punch and permenently injured the guy and be paying for it the rest of his life.
As for the Xavier kids they also got off easy. I would have given Tu Holloway the rest of the season for his mouth (before during and after the game) alone.

Cincinnati's Cronin's words were just that: Words
goodman you are a joke. cincy handed out more punishment for its teams retaliation than Xavier did for instigating and perpetuating the incident. 6 games amounts to roughly 20% of the season. in my estimation missing one fifth of the season IS a big deal and significant punishment. where did you pull that 10 game number from? out your a$$? seriously thats one-third of the season for a player who made a mistake and acknowledges and admits it now?
my biggest gripe here is where is the accountablity and blame that should be focused on xavier's coach? clearly he had to know the verbal exchanges that were going on and with his team up so much, why does he have his best players on the floor at the end of the game? then he only suspends his best player for ONE game??? clearly winning and rubbing it in is more importat to Mack... and he sir, is an a-hole and his actions, not Cronin's should be put under a microscope.

Cronin didn't promise blood. He promised nobody would play for this team unless they understood the privilege. And none of these guys have since then.
Let's take a look at Holloway. He instigates the fight, then afterwards jumps on the scorers table and in the postgame presser he claims to be proud of his "thugs" for "zipping them up," "in body bags."
Is Gates' suspension too short? Maybe. Is Holloways? Hell yes.

I have read a bunch of the previous posts about how Goodman has conviently given Xavier a pass on their punishment while focusing on Cincinnati. I'm glad you guys are calling him out. It is not a big secret in Cincinnati that Mack and Goodman are friends and drinking buddies. You will never see a negative article from the guy about Xavier and he always has a negative slant towards Cincinnati. Sad excuse for a journalist in my opinion...

Cincinnati's Cronin's words were just that: Words
There's no he started it or that guy started. That makes it sound elementary or like siblings telling on eachother. Words are words, doesn't matter how hurtful or harsh they sound, it's still how the individual responds. Words don't make you punch someone in the face. You choose to punch them and that's just how conduct works. You choose to be who you are and act how you want. Cincinnates Gates chose to fight by throwing a clear punch that signaled he wants to fight. Xavier players were never signaling "let's fight physically", the push was a push, he decided to push him to get him off his teammate. Everyone had a choice to either stop it there or keep going. They kept going. So know punish them not for words, but for actions, that's my opinion. Holloway said some harsh things maybe, but did not physically harm anyone until the push came and Gates threw the punch. He is clean in my opinion. I'm not even a fan of the two but keep up with the world of sports. This stuff happens everywhere and sucks that it is only continuing to happen. Is it immaturity of athletes or lack of coaching and the organization of training athletes not only to compete but to have class?

Holloway threw the first punch and his post game comments made things worse. In my opinion he should get 10 games and Yates should be done for the year not only did he sucker punch an Xavier player who was trying to separate players he was looking to throw another punch. The coaches did a terrible job handing out suspensions because for all the talk they did they know it is all about winning. The conference presidents need to stepup and hand out more severe punishments because this is about more than basketball and someone needs to teach that lesson to these inmature young men.

Cincinnati's Cronin's words were just that: Words
Given Xavier's half-hearted response after the fiasco and Lyons and Holloway's GANGSTA comments and body bag references, it is amazing that their is no outrage over Xavier's handling of the issue. Given that Xavier started the fight (Holloway openly admits he taunted both UC's bench and players, and that the first push was given by a Xavier player, it seems the level of malice towards Mick Cronin is a bit hypocritcal if Chris Mack is not held to the same standards. Tu Holloway for only one game? Oh that's right, he's the star and Xavier is undefeated and you can't afford to lose him. I thought the punishment given to Gates and the other UC players was just and certainly not as long as the ones given to the Muskies who threw punches not only at UC players but also their coaches as well. While Mack apologized for his players after the game, Cronin called his out. There is not right or wrong in this. Both teams were out of line. To single UC out as being the villain is an outdated way of thinking. Bob Huggins is gone. Mick graduates his players. For the most part, they are good guys. Shame on you Mr. Goodman

Cincinnati's Cronin's words were just that: Words
Goodman, it is easy to be critical of Cincinnati's response. To do so while dismissing Xavier's response is unbelievable. Yes, Cronin came out and publicly stated he was going to be harsh. Cincinnati was 150% tougher on their player who attempted to stomp on a Xavier player than Xavier was for a player kicking an opposing assistant coach. They were 3 and 6 times tougher on their player who responded to what Xavier started than Xavier was on the players who did a majority of the escalating. Nobody from Cincinnati came out and proclaimed how proud they were for their actions afterwards. I also find it hilarious Tu was proud of his role and talked of being a gangster, yet he didn't do enough fighting to get a punishment for anything more than being an instigator. Maybe Cronin and his bosses went easy on the Cincinnati combatants, but to accuse Cronin of valuing wins more than his comments without being twice as hard on Mack and Xavier is a blow to your ability to partially show the facts.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The National Institutes of Health has awarded $5 billion in grants to support research into cures for cancer and other diseases, and to create jobs.
President Barack Obama was making the announcement Wednesday at the NIH campus in Bethesda, Md., with Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
The money comes from the $787 billion economic stimulus program that is designed to help create jobs and turn around the economy. The program included $10 billion for the NIH.
Jared Bernstein, who is Vice President Joe Biden's chief economist, says the $5 billion will support some 12,000 existing projects and create thousands of jobs over the next two years for researchers and educators, as well as medical equipment makers and suppliers.

LEMON GROVE Medical marijuana dispensaries in Lemon Grove? A possibility.
Tuesday night's packed City Council meeting in Lemon Grove offered testimony from more than a dozen in support of and five who spoke out against medical cannabis and dispensaries.
In the end, the council unanimously agreed with City Attorney Jim Lough and City Manager Graham Mitchell who recommended that the council have city staff prepare a report on the legal, financial, economic and land- use impacts dispensaries would have on Lemon Grove.
The issue was before the council because Citizens for Patient Rights helped gather 1,726 valid signatures in Lemon Grove after filing a proposed ballot initiative in March, then circulating a petition to put it to a vote.
The council also voted 5-0 to appoint a subcommittee, led by councilmen Jerry Jones and Howard Cook, to discuss a competing measure.
"All of us know someone suffering from some afflictions like cancer that harm our bodies," Councilwoman Mary England said. "I support a study, not to undermine this, just to gather more information."
As Lough noted several times during the meeting, the report, which will come back to the council in time for its Aug. 7 meeting, would also provide an opportunity to educate the public.
Mayor Mary Sessom shared an email from Cynara Velasquez, of Citizens for Patient Rights, that estimated the city has a market of 1,600 patients. Thousands more could come from nearby communities.
Her email said there would be no more than 10 dispensaries in Lemon Grove under the proposal, and that sales tax revenue would be $98,000.
Sessom later expressed concern about the financial impact to the city if the matter winds up in court.

Her fifth-round throw of 7.09m for 1128 points placed her ahead of Canada's Becky Richter (6.09mPB for 883 points) and Zena Cole of the US (5.80m for 811 points), but victory wasn't all smooth in coming, as after having been announced as the gold medal-winner, Pearson was advised that an appeal had been made with regards her equipment.
The appeal was later overturned, however, which means Pearson can add her world title to the Paralympic gold she claimed at London 2012 where she set the previous world record of 6.58m.
"To have your best performance at a major championships and your preparation to be spot on is an amazing feeling," she told British Athletics.
"That seven metre mark has been the thorn in my side the whole winter, so to do that here is a real confidence booster going into my other major championships."
Tweeting later on about the appeal, she added: "Unfortunately some people just can't be gracious in defeat. THE BEST ATHLETE WON fair and square! But this experience has made me stronger and I will bounce back as an even better athlete!"
The 27-year-old will now contest the club throw on Wednesday.
Pearson's world record came on a day that saw a total of nine world records broken and one world record equalled. One of those world record-breaking marks came in the men's T43 200m final where Brazilian sprinter Alan Oliveira smashed the previous record held by Oscar Pistorius with his 20.66 clocking. Oliveira crossed the line over a second clear of USA's Blake Leeper (21.78), shaving more than half a second off the previous mark set by Pistorius in London last year and afterwards told IPC Athletics "I hope I will do the same at the 100m".
Michael McKillop was another athlete to set a world record on his way to victory, the Irishman clocking 1:57.17 in the men's T37 800m, while his compatriot Jason Smyth equalled his own world record in the men's T13 200m to take the title in style.
Switzerland's Marcel Hug claimed his second gold in as many days, adding victory in the T54 400m to his win in the 10,000 from the day before, while US athletes Raymond Martin an Tatyana McFadden also did the double on the second day of action – Martin claiming T52 800m gold to add to his win in the 1500m on Saturday and McFadden winning both the T54 200m and 5000m.
Also contributing to the GB medal haul was Dan Greaves who finished behind USA's Jeremy Campbell for silver in the F44 discus final and Libby Clegg who was upgraded from a bronze to silver in the women's T12 200m following the disqualification of China's Guohua Zhou. Her time of 25.31 is a seasons best and she will now contest the shorter sprint. Fellow Brit Kyron Duke claimed F41 shot bronze and now looks to secure a second medal in the F41 javelin final on Monday.

Firefighters attached to all three engines in Lebanon battled a house fire Monday night on Cole Avenue.
Firefighters and officers responded to the fire at 711 Cole Ave. at about 8 p.m. Officers said flames were visible coming out of the attic when responders arrived.
Lebanon Assistant fire Chief Jason Baird said the fire originated around a wood-burning stove in the back of the home and spread into the attic. He said three people were in the home at the time the fire started. No injuries were reported.
"[The firefighters] did a good job," Baird said. "Considering where the fire was in the attic, they made a very good stop."
Baird said the stove caught the wall behind it on fire and shot into the attic. Firefighters used as little water as possible in the attic to avoid significant water damage while extinguishing the fire.
Baird said the attic sustained a large amount of fire damage, and about three quarters of the home sustained smoke damage. He said a majority of the home's contents were not damaged.

Giulio Carmassi
Who are you and what do you do? How long have you been a working musician?
My name's Giulio Carmassi. I'm a Film Composer, Producer and Multi-Instrumentalist. I've been working professionally in Music since age 12, and I'm 30 now.
What is your educational background? Are there any schools, courses, or books you recommend?
The two single most important steps in my creative life have been studying the Alexander Technique, and Primal therapy at the Janov Center in Los Angeles.
"The Study of Orchestration" by Samuel Adler is invaluable to learn about the different arranging possibilities, and "Mastering Audio: The Art and the Science" by Bob Katz opened my eyes on audio engineering.
I found that here in America, the "hands on" part of the learning is massive and incredibly more useful than spending time on books.
I dropped out of regular school at age 14. I then graduated as a classical pianist from a conservatory, and graduated from Musicians Institute as a recording engineer (one of the best schooling experiences of my life) and as a film composer and director from UCLA Extension.
What hardware are you using?
Computer wise I use a Mac Pro double Quad Intel with an Apogee Symphony 64 + Apogee Rosetta 800 converter. It allows me no latency without the expense of a Digidesign system.
The Mic Pres I use are mostly The Don Classics NV73 (a Neve 1073 clone, best Neve sound I've found), the D.W. Fearn Vacuum Tube Mic Pre (the best Mic Pre on the market today), the Chandler Germanium (great when you want character but very noisy) and LTD-1 (wonderful all around single channel), and the Millennia Media Pres (the sweetest Pres, will transform anything harsh in pleasant).
Compressor wise I like the Retro Instruments 176 a lot on anything, and then the Fearn Stereo Compressor (best stereo buss compressor) and the Summit Audio DCL-200 (a bit gooey and confused, but really great for the money in the used market).
I use mostly Paiste Signature cymbals (crisp, bright but sweet and washy at the same time), Yamaha and DW Drums (both maple) drums. Nord keyboards (best organ and electric pianos I know of). Yanagisawa 991 alto and tenor saxophones (very easy to play), a Barrington soprano sax (very cheap but great sounding), and Harrelson trumpets (great great manufacturer all around). I love Sadowsky basses (it's my ideal sound, a jazz bass sadowsky) but use a lot of vintage Aria knockoffs of Fenders and Gibsons.
My speakers of choice have been for years the Dynaudio BM15, because I never get tired and they are slightly scooped in the mids and that's exactly how I like music, so that when other people hear my mixes somewhere else they are not as scooped as I like but they are balanced.
I use mostly Peluso mics (incredibly value for the money), but I adore the DPA 4011 as over heads, guitar and piano mics, and I love the AEA R44 ribbon mic on anything. It's the most flattering mic I've ever tried.
What software are you using?
I record on Pro Tools 9 (I tried Logic and hated it very very much for its million bugs). I edit video on Final Cut 8 (simply perfect, but I did all my first videos for 2 years on iMovie and it was a nightmare).
I love the Altiverb reverb for how natural it sounds. I hardly use plugins and don't have autotune installed on principle. I mostly mix with my outboard gear and with volume and panning and reverb. I hate EQs, but detest digital EQs (I think real EQing should be done with mic placement).
I really like the Synthogy Ivory piano library, I like some of the Vienna Symphonic Library instruments, and really like all the Arturia products.
What would be your dream setup?
I'm pretty much happy really. I'd like an old Martin guitar and a set of vintage Zildjian cymbals from the 40s and 50s. And an old upright bass. Another piece of equipment I love is the Ear 660 compressor. Really life altering.
Can you describe your creative process? Is there a particular routine or schedule you stick to?
It's really painful to write. I procrastinate an entire day. I have long walks. I look at Manhattan from the Brooklyn side for a couple hours. And then when I'm exhausted and it's midnight, I'll sit at the keyboard and write what I needed to write in one pass, improvising, and it'll be "it".
The "post" work is mostly related to BPMs, instrumentation or similar, but I trust very much the notes that come out from a simple improvisation. I also sing a lot a cappella, so that no instrument can get in the way of creativity. And I arrange, orchestrate, and sing all the parts in a one pass improvisation while the main theme is played on a piano or electric piano.
I tend to create better late at night. The day is for studying or for sending work e-mails. Make countless lists that I never respect.
Where do you shop for and discover music?
YouTube, and friend's Facebook walls.
Any highlights from your latest musical discoveries?
Neil Thomas. Lizzy Loeb. Elena Degl'Innocenti. Three great singer-songwriters that are essentially unknown for now, but not for long.
What's brewing in your studio?
I'm about to release a new music video, and it should be fun. I'm working on an animation musical, and should be working as an orchestrator soon on a full-on broadway production.
Any production tips & tricks you'd like to share?
Automate the click! In everything I do the click is always oscillating to recreate the natural fluctuation in time that you'd get from a real band. Record first the song in MIDI on a stable click, quantize everything, and then start playing with the click track and make certain parts, certain bars slightly slower or faster. You'll love it!

Reference Collection- books and other materials that provide definitions, quick facts, statistics, and overviews on a topic. Reference books are usually consulted rather than read through and are generally not permitted to be checked out.
Reference Librarian- the person responsible for assisting patrons in finding information and resources in the library. A Reference Librarian often specializes in a certain subject area but is also familiar with general information resources and how to use them.
Reserves- books or other materials that are kept at the Circulation Desk at the request of an instructor, in order to assure greater availability to an entire class. There are usually time limitations indicating the length of time an item can be checked out to a student.
Secondary Source- resources that analyze, describe, and synthesize the original or primary source. These include review articles, reference books such as encyclopedias, and textbooks.
Subject Heading- an agreed upon word/phrase (also referred to as controlled vocabulary) to describe and define a concept or thing. Library catalogs, indexes and electronic databases all make use of controlled vocabulary to provide consistent access to books, articles and other material. Subject headings can be words or phrases under which all material dealing with that area is entered in an index or library catalog. To conduct a successful and efficient subject search in the library's catalog or in an article database, it is necessary to know the predefined subject heading.

Hempstead Town Supervisor Kate Murray and Councilwoman Dorothy Goosby announced that the Uniondale Community Council has been awarded a grant through the town's Department of Planning and Economic Development.
The $5,000 grant is to be used toward Uniondale Community Council's array of programs and services that benefit the neighborhood's youth.
"I am thrilled that we are able to support organizations that offer positive support for our youth and provide important programs in our communities," Murray said. "Through hard work and dedication, the Uniondale Community Council has supported its neighbors for more than three decades and we are proud to assist the group in its endeavors."
The Uniondale Community Council, established in 1977, provides youth services, develops family workshops, assists youth and adults with job placement, and encourages community unity through a variety of programs and projects.
Among the many offerings, UCC operates a multi-service youth project for children living in the Uniondale School District. Programs include workshops, social nights, crisis intervention, athletic programs and a summer program for teens.
"We're proud to assist organizations that have a positive impact on the youth in our communities," Goosby said. "The funds are certainly going to good use as the Uniondale Community Council helps mold our young people into our society's future leaders."
"While it is the organizations receiving the grants, it's really the children who will benefit," concluded Murray.

Comments Thread For: Hugo Ruiz Targets Chemito Moreno, Koki Kameda Bouts
In a division with three WBA bantamweight champions, Hugo Ruiz (30-1, 27KOs) wants to set the record straight. Ruiz, the WBA's interim-champion at bantamweight, wants to face "regular" champion Koki Kameda (28-1, 17KOs) of Japan and the "super champion" at bantamweight, Anselmo 'Chemito' Moreno (32-1-1, 11KOs).

The WBA just sucks. 3 champions in one division... the epitome of commercialism. People in the boxing industry should start taking this entirely corrupted body seriously and also start thinking about removing it in the very near future, and then we can elevate the IBO to the major status.

|Astrocyte activation and wound healing in intact-skull mouse after focal brain injury.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23013365 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Localised brain tissue damage activates surrounding astrocytes, which significantly influences subsequent long-term pathological processes. Most existing focal brain injury models in rodents employ craniotomy to localise mechanical insults. However, the craniotomy procedure itself induces gliosis. To investigate perilesional astrocyte activation under conditions in which the skull is intact, we created focal brain injuries using light exposure through a cranial window made by thinning the skull without inducing gliosis. The lesion size was maximal at ~ 12 h and showed substantial recovery over the subsequent 30 days. Two distinct types of perilesional reactive astrocyte, identified by GFAP upregulation and hypertrophy, were found. In proximal regions the reactive astrocytes proliferated and expressed nestin, whereas in regions distal to the injury core the astrocytes showed increased GFAP expression but did not proliferate, lacked nestin expression, and displayed different morphology. Simply making the window did not induce any of these changes. There were also significant numbers of neurons in the recovering cortical tissue. In the recovery region, reactive astrocytes radially extended processes which appeared to influence the shapes of neuronal nuclei. The proximal reactive astrocytes also formed a cell layer which appeared to serve as a protective barrier, blocking the spread of IgG deposition and migration of microglia from the lesion core to surrounding tissue. The recovery was preceded by perilesional accumulation of leukocytes expressing vascular endothelial growth factor. These results suggest that, under intact skull conditions, focal brain injury is followed by perilesional reactive astrocyte activities that foster cortical tissue protection and recovery.

How's your morning? Mine is pretty darn fabulous! Not that is it great weather, or the start of any major event, just starting the day in this FABULOUS 1960's flouncy pink robe! Seriously, is this not that most insanely glam, kitchsy gorgeousness?!
I just adore vintage dressing gowns and have amassed quite a special little collection of pieces from the 1930's through to the 1970's of all kinds of pretty things to wear when you don't want to get dressed. From silk to seersucker, frills and lace, quilting and full skirts, these gowns are simply divine. People often ask how I could possibly live without a tracksuit in my wardrobe; well this is the answer. When I come home from work and need to slip into something more comfortable, my 1970's velveteen zip through robes are a treat. Feeling a bit down? Pop on something flouncy. Need to host an evening in with your loved ones? Frills, flounces and cocktails go a long way. I dare you not to have a fabulous morning wearing something like this while you sip your coffee!
This incredible gown was a gift from a friend who is about to launch a new online vintage boutique, check out her brand new Facebook page here and 'Like" Edith Says! When she saw this piece, she knew exactly who it had to come and live with.
And in breaking news… you can now catch up with me everyday in "person"! I'm on Instagram video and am (attempting to) update daily with my look and a little chat. So if you fancy a teeny window into my world each day, here it is! <3<3
