Her husband is associated with a small trade, but his income is not sufficient for their family maintenance. Jyotsna is a hardworking woman; to give financial support, she prepares bamboo baskets and sells them in the local bazaar. There is great demand for these baskets in rural areas. The materials required to make the baskets are expensive, so it was not possible for her to run the business effectively.
Jyotsna decided to join BJS (Kiva's partner) and take out a loan so she can buy more bamboo sticks and other supplies for preparing more baskets. From childhood Jyotsna is very much expert in making handicraft items; that is why she plays the decent role of making the baskets in a good way. Her neighbors are also fond of her baskets, so Jyotsna got encouragement in making baskets. She hopes this will improve her financial status and enhance her business on a large scale. She also wants to employ a laborer in this work to assist her and to enlarge her business.
Jyotsna is very much thankful to BJS and Kiva for helping her to improve her business.
Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan targets women in the financially underserved parts of India. With a largely rural population, the Jalpaiguri, Alipurduar, and Cooch Behar districts in the state of West Bengal are severely lacking in infrastructure and are three of the poorest districts in Eastern India. This loan enables female entrepreneurs to maintain their current businesses in an area that is under-developed and poorly served by financial institutions.
Important Note About This LoanDue to Indian government regulations, if you fund this loan, you will not be repaid for at least 3 years. This borrower will likely repay your loan much sooner than that, in which case, the Field Partner may re-loan your funds to help other local borrowers. We want you to be aware of this minimum 3-year waiting period and the associated risks before making a loan to Indian borrowers on Kiva. Learn More >
About Belghoria Janakalyan Samity
Belghoria Janakalyan Samity (BJS) is a non-profit organization located in India that focuses on poverty alleviation through women's empowerment. The organization is remarkable in its commitment to the holistic development of some of the poorest districts of West Bengal and goes further than most of its competitors in offering vital access to social services like child schooling, medical services and financial literacy training in addition to credit. Kiva lenders' funds will be used to create new loans for clients, expand the reach of the organization into more rural areas, and deepen the scope of BJS's non-financial services that provide key support to the surrounding communities.

Just who is writing the coauthored Patterson novels makes for interesting water-cooler chat, but whether the majority of words are contributed by Patterson or Gross, this terrific new novel is prime Patterson all the way, another step in the author's application of his patented storytelling style to a multitude of genres-in this case, historicals. The title character is, when introduced in 1096, an unassuming innkeeper in a French village oppressed by the local nobleman. To earn his freedom, Hugh de Luc joins the Crusades for a torturous, bloody march toward Jerusalem that occupies the book's first third and ends with him escaping the madness around him by deserting back to France, in possession of some minor treasures-or so he thinks. Back home, he finds that his beloved wife has been taken captive by the odious nobleman, and his infant son slain. Seeking his wife and revenge, Hugh adopts the guise of a jester in order to enter to the nobleman's castle, where he begins to fall in love with a young noblewoman, and she with him. In time, Hugh finds his wife, only to experience tragedy, and learns that the nobleman is searching for him, as he is believed to have carried back from the Crusades the greatest holy relic of all. Returning to his village, which has been destroyed during the nobleman's hunt for him, Hugh persuades his townspeople, then surrounding towns, to rise up in revolt against the corrupt nobleman and his henchmen. From start to finish, this is supersmart popular fiction, slick yet stirring, packed with colorful details of medieval life, bursting with unforgettable characters and clever tropes and themes. Patterson's fans will adore this one.
Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Another departure for Patterson after Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas: home from the Crusades, Hugh must play the jester to find his wife, abducted by knights.

One of my favorite book ever. Good intrigue and I like the main character. My first James Patterson book and not the last one.Published 16 months ago by TheReader

Not long ago people were saying that electronic publishing was a passing trend that would never catch on, because readers would not accept the transition from real ink and bound paper to e-books. But here we are in the first quarter of 2015, and according to a news report published in the UK Guardian, electronic books are outpacing traditional printed ones. Here are some recent e-book industry developments that should be of interest to any avid e-book reader.

A fair bit to get your feet moving in this selection from seven singles found during this year. Also a few tracks delving into the more traditional realms of solo accordion and voice (Dlamini), Shangaan (Banda Six; Matengu Sisters) and Tsonga (Star Flying Gazankulu) vocal, through to some swinging bigger band numbers by curiosities such as the "Zomba Jazz Band", and "Elias Banda with Jazz Afrique 73".
Inbetween some kicking mbaqanga and accordion jive you will bump into Sankie Chounyane and his JoBurg Music Men, along with some irresistible bump-soul from Bucks and the Mighty Thorns. We close the set with a 1977 rendition by The Movers of "Morena Boloka" – a massively risky subversive intervention by David Thekwane and the band at the time. While it could be classified as an hymn, the tune was known as the national anthem in waiting. And so it has become, with Morena Boloko comprising the Sotho part of South Africa's post-liberation national anthem.
If you have not already indulged - part one can be found here.
In wishing you a liberating 2012, I share a poem written by Durban-based Mphutlane Wa Bofelo.

Acclaimed graphic album BATMAN: BLACK & WHITE from Warner Premiere and Warner Bros. Digital Distribution has debuted as a Warmer Premiere Motion Comics series.
Available exclusively on iTunes and coming soon to other distribution channels including Amazon Video On Demand and Verizon Wireless V CAST, BATMAN: BLACK AND WHITE Motion Comics features 10 stories created by comic book legends that include Alex Ross, Dave Gibbons, Ted McKeever, Paul Levitz and others. The stories are available on iTunes as five episodes of two shorts each and can be purchased and downloaded for $0.99 per episode.
In addition, comic book fans can download a free podcast, also available on iTunes (http://tinyurl.com/batman-b-w-motion-comic), featuring BATMAN: BLACK & WHITE illustrator Alex Ross. Hosted by John Siuntres of the popular Wordballoon comic book podcast, Alex discusses Motion Comics, his work on the best-selling series and his current projects. Warner Premiere's Motion Comics are a new way for comic fans to connect with their favorite characters and the stories they know and love through short-form digital content. The Motion Comics slate draws on a deep reservoir of source material to bring a new visually engaging experience to life through the use of subtle movements, voice-overs, sweeping music scores and stunning comic book artwork.
A new addition to the Warner Premiere Motion Comics slate, BATMAN: BLACK & WHITE is taken from three award-winning volumes of short stories starring the Caped Crusader. Animated by Sequence Post Studios, the Motion Comics reflect the original and diverse visions of various artists and writers as they tell stories in the now-infamous world of Gotham City.
The BATMAN: BLACK & WHITE stories range in theme from the unsettling drama of solving a brutal murder to the light comedy of fighting bad guys with a broken nose. These short episodes also touch on elements of romance, mystery and even the supernatural. And like any exciting BATMAN story, classic villains such as The Joker, Harley Quinn and Two-Face make heralded appearances. It's Batman as seen through the prism of some of today's most eloquent graphic artists and writers.

Roger's stomach began to hurt a few minutes after 5 p.m. on a Friday. He called his doctor's office, but all he got was the familiar recording telling him to call 911 or go to the emergency department if he had a medical emergency.
Otherwise, he was instructed to call back Monday after 8 a.m.
The problem was, Roger didn't know if he had a medical emergency. He stopped to ask himself, "Is a medical emergency determined by the severity of the pain or the cause of the pain?"
He took some aspirin and tried to go to sleep. Saturday morning, after a generally sleepless night, he called the office of his wife's doctor, which had a similar recording. His wife insisted they head to the emergency department at a nearby hospital. When they arrived a nurse asked him some questions and ushered them to the waiting area, where they were told the wait would be six to eight hours.
One goal of the Affordable Care Act is to improve our access to primary care. But, why is it that doctors keep bankers hours?
Many people find it difficult to go to the doctor during the work day and would prefer an evening or weekend appointment.
Yet, few U.S. physicians offer after-hours care on nights and weekends, compared to, say, 95 percent who offer after-hours care in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. It is even difficult to find an American doctor to talk with after hours.
Well over half of all emergency department visits occur between 5 p.m. and 8 a.m. or on weekends. It turns out that many problems that bring people to the emergency room are normally managed by primary care providers, including Roger's stomach pain.
It is not surprising that a recent study published in the journal Health Affairs reports that emergency room use is significantly lower when people have access to after-hours services with their primary care provider.
The same study also reports that people with access to after-hours care report higher levels of satisfaction with their care.
According to a UC Davis study of more than 30,000 people, those who have regular access to their primary doctors including extended office hours, have lower health care costs. Not only are they less likely to go to an emergency room, they also are less likely to require hospitalization than patients who are unable to contact their doctor after hours.
It turns out it wasn't just fewer emergency visits and hospitalizations. Because their doctors knew them, they were able to order fewer expensive drugs, blood tests, X-rays and other procedures commonly ordered in the emergency room.
Roger left the emergency room before he was seen. When he called his doctor Monday morning it required some assertiveness to get them to fit him in the next day.
Clearly, things need to change and doctors just may have to change their work hours and their mind set.
This might be yet one of many positive changes in our health care system triggered by the implementation of the Affordable Care Act.

Shevchenko shines for UkraineComment on this story
Kiev - Two goals in six minutes by national hero Andriy Shevchenko led Ukraine to a 2-1 comeback victory over Sweden in their opening Group D game on Monday as the co-hosts joined the Euro 2012 party in spectacular style.
The 35-year-old Shevchenko launched himself at a clipped Andriy Yarmolenko cross to head the equaliser in the 55th minute then lost Zlatan Ibrahimovic at a corner to glance in his second just after the hour as the hosts roared back from a goal down.
Ukraine, the group outsiders, started the match full of running in front of a frenzied home crowd but Ibrahimovic had threatened to spoil their big night when he turned in a low Kim Kallstrom cross to put the Swedes ahead after 52 minutes.
After Johan Elmander missed a glorious chance to level in the last minute, Ukraine sit proudly top of Group D with three points. France and England drew 1-1 earlier in Donetsk. - Reuters

On the day before the election, senator John McCain makes East Tennessee his list of last minute stops speaking to a welcome crowd in the Tri-Cities.
There are six battleground states. Tennessee is not one of those but his stop was just about five miles from southwestern Virginia, a state which is.
It's also an area of coal mining and the McCain supporters hoped to point out a recent controversy that Barack Obama's policies would bankrupt the coal industry.
Republican presidential nominee John McCain was welcomed by an enthusiastic crowd in east Tennessee.
But Tennessee wasn't really his main concern in making the trip.
"And we're going to keep Virginia red!," says McCain.
An all star political cast was with McCain including former Virginia governor George Allen who spoke about the recent controversy over Barack Obama's policies that would bankrupt the coal industry, meaning a loss of jobs in Virginia.
"We're the Saudi Arabia of the world when it comes to coal and southwest Virginia powers Virginia and powers America," says Allen.
And former presidential challenger Fred Thompson said there's a big difference between McCain and Obama.
"Serving his country, putting his country first with courage, honor, duty, devotion. On the other hand you've got a guy whose written a couple of books about himself," says Thompson.
But what did McCain say that resonated with these voters?
"Everything he said was about exactly the way I feel. I agreed with everything he said," says McCain supporter Sherry Cressell.
Zach Parker is going into the military and says,
"He's pro military and I'm going into the military after I graduate so there's really no other choice."
The rally also brought a lot of young people. Some who are just months away from turning 18 but can't vote.
"I know, but it's going to affect me in the long run. I mean, if someone gets in and hurts our country then it's going to hurt me," says 17 year old Lindsay Utsman.
With the election just a day away, can McCain win his battleground states to take the election? Some say yes.
"I think he's the kind of man Virginia wants to vote for as well and that's why we're all here," says Tennessee U.S. Senator Lamar Alexander.
But McCain pointed out it's going to take more than moral support.
"Volunteer. Knock on doors. Get your neighbors to the polls. I need your vote!," says McCain.
After going to Pennsylvania and some other key states, mccain plans to be in his home state of Arizona by late tonight.
But he's not giving up his fight then, he's got plans of going to two other states in the west on election day.

Drug Treatment Program Compliance and Resistance Activities during Implementation of California's Proposition 36
Reynolds, Grace, Journal of Health and Human Services Administration
In November 2000, California voters approved Proposition 36, the "Substance Abuse and Crime Prevention Act of 2000 (SACPA)." This measure marked major changes to state law so that non-violent adult offenders who use or possess illegal drugs receive treatment rather than incarceration or probation with treatment. The California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs promulgated guiding principles for the implementation of Proposition 36 statewide (Jett, 2001).
As of this writing, outcome data on offenders undergoing treatment under Proposition 36 are limited, but "best practices" are starting to be identified (Hser et al., 2003). Results from the statewide evaluation for Los Angeles County indicate that the majority of offenders being remanded under Proposition 36 were methamphetamine users, followed by crack and cocaine users (Alcohol and Drug Programs County of Los Angeles Department of Health Services, 2004). This is true for the state of California as a whole (State of California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs, 2002). The first Annual Report to the Legislature on Proposition 36 also indicated that more than 30,000 drug offenders had been referred to treatment in its first year of implementation and that for more than half of them, Proposition 36 was providing their first experience of drug treatment (State of California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs, 2002). The Drug Policy Institute reported that treatment slots in California increased by 68 percent during the first year of Proposition 36, but the majority of these slots were for lower level outpatient treatment. The State of California also reported that treatment capacity had expanded as a result of Proposition 36. There was an increase of 42 percent in the overall number of licensed programs statewide, with certified residential programs increasing by 17 percent and certified outpatient programs increasing by 81 percent (State of California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs, 2002).
Early problems with Proposition 36 implementation have been noted by Spieglman, et al. (2003), including underestimation of the severity of addiction found in clients remanded under Proposition 36, and procedural differences between counties in the interface between the criminal justice system and the drug treatment system. Evans and Longshore (2004), and Wiley, et al. (2004) also explored the differences in clients served by drug treatment providers both before and after Proposition 36, to understand the needs of clients remanded under Proposition 36. Auerhahn (2004) examined whether Proposition 36 would meet the goal of reducing the overall numbers of prisoners within the state correctional system.
Public administration research has always been interested in implementation of publicly funded programs. One approach to assessing implementation successes, failures, and unintended consequences is a case study approach exemplified by Pressman and Wildavsky (1984) and Moore (1997). As the trend toward outsourcing of core functions of government to other sectors (non-profit and for-profit organizations) through the contracting process has become an established practice, research has focused on the impact this outsourcing has had on both service delivery and on the organizations involved (Bigelow & Stone, 1995; Townsend, 2004). Hardy, Teruya, Longshore, and Hser (2005) used Winter's implementation framework to explore these service delivery issues in their qualitative work on implementation of Proposition 36.
The purpose of this paper is to determine the association of compliance and resistance activities with overall program experience with Proposition 36. This paper develops some hypotheses based on the literature of compliance and resistance activities as an organizational response to implementation of new programs, presents information on the methods and data collection employed to test these hypotheses, the findings, and conclusions and discusses implications of the findings and research for public administrators. …

CNY 2015, Denmark & Sweden: Herring is Evil, and Danish Curry is a Lie (Part 1)
We'd run into trouble before even getting there. First of all I had some reservations about the choice of flights- one that would require us to fly to Singapore first, followed by a 15 hour flight to Copenhagen, with one day lost in the process. I had trouble with the booking itself too- with the bank sending it's the verification password too late to be of any use. One call to customer service rewarded us with a ridiculous response- 'go ask Singapore Airlines', which I rubbished immediately. A second call to someone with more sense got us a more helpful answer- 'we're having some issues with our server, please try again'. It worked this time, but the delay cost us an extra three-k, and we lost our choice of seats. Our choice destination worried me greatly too- Denmark. I'd have preferred to go to France- we initially planned on going to both countries, but that plan got shelved along the way due to lack of time, even before the terrorist attacks in Paris (Charlie Hebdo, and another shooting elsewhere). Don't get me wrong- I have nothing against Denmark or Danes- it's just that I know next to nothing about Danes. Or did I mean Dutch? No, "Danes" is correct. Isn't that plural? Do you say "she's a Dane", or "she's Danish"? I'll ask one when I meet one.

Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Inferno (るろうに剣心 京都大火編) - Mixed Feelings, and a Disturbing Malaysian Cinema Experience
first live action adaptation back in 2012- or was it the Shin Kyoto Hen (New Kyoto Arc) OVA? I couldn't recall, so I did some digging. Facts don't lie, but they do surprise: I did publish a post on Shin Kyoto Hen, but did not cover the 2012 movie at all, despite finding it to be a realistic if somewhat (un)faithful adaptation of the original manga- a solid adaptation topped only by the Gyakuten Saiban movie (here).

In my previous post on WorkflowServices, CanCreateInstance and Silverlight I shared with you some of the pain that I went through in building my first Silverlight / Workflow Services app. Much of this pain was just because I have not done a great deal of work with Silverlight and WCF. In this post I'm going to give you some advice based on what I learned in building my Tech-Ed 2011 State Machine demo application.
Download Sample Code Windows Workflow Foundation (WF4) - Silverlight / State Machine Workflow Service
My colleagues on the Silverlight team told me about the SilverlightFaultBehavior that they included in the Silverlight-Enabled WCF Service template. The trick of this behavior is that it sets the response code of Faults to 200 (OK) so that Silverlight can pass the fault along to your code.
There is a great deal of WCF Judo that goes on to make this work but here is the essential piece that sets the response to HttpStatusCode.OK
public void BeforeSendReply(ref Message reply, object correlationState){ if ((reply != null) && reply.IsFault) { var property = new HttpResponseMessageProperty { StatusCode = HttpStatusCode.OK }; reply.Properties[HttpResponseMessageProperty.Name] = property; }}
Typically WCF Code applies this behavior with an attribute but with WorkflowServices you can't do that. So I created the SilverlightFaultElement class that allows you to setup the behavior with configuration.
There I was trying to run my workflow service and wondering why it was not working. I had not written a unit test for it yet and I was wishing for the nice tracking information I got with the tracking extensions from Microsoft.Activities.UnitTesting. Then I had this idea… what if I built a WCF behavior that would setup tracking on the WorkflowServiceHost and then output the tracking info to the Visual Studio debug window.
So I created the WorkflowServiceTraceBehavior and WorkflowServiceTraceElement classes to enable the behavior via configuration.
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White"> <Button FontSize="28" Click="Button_Click">Test</Button></Grid>
Add the following configuration to your web.config. At this point we won't add the behaviors so you can see the problem.
<system.serviceModel> <serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" /> <behaviors> <serviceBehaviors> <behavior> <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true"/> <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/> </behavior> </serviceBehaviors> </behaviors> </system.serviceModel>
private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e){ var proxy = new ServiceClient(); proxy.GetDataCompleted += (o, args) => Debug.WriteLine("Result is " + args.Result); proxy.GetDataAsync(123);}
Debug the application and click the test button. Here is what you will get
System.ServiceModel.CommunicationException was unhandled by user code Message=The remote server returned an error: NotFound.
System.ServiceModel.CommunicationException was unhandled by user code Message=The remote server returned an error: NotFound.
Huh? Not found? Don't believe it my friends… that is not the real problem. Now let's enable some behaviors and see what happens.
NuGet is so awesome – if you aren't using it yet, get it now.
Now your web app will have all the goodness of Microsoft.Activities.
Modify the web config to add the behaviors
<system.serviceModel> <serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" /> <extensions> <behaviorExtensions> <add name="silverlightFaultBehavior" type="Microsoft.Activities.ServiceModel.SilverlightFaultElement, Microsoft.Activities" /> <add name="workflowServiceTraceBehavior" type="Microsoft.Activities.Diagnostics.WorkflowServiceTraceElement, Microsoft.Activities" /> </behaviorExtensions> </extensions> <behaviors> <serviceBehaviors> <behavior> <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true"/> <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/> <silverlightFaultBehavior /> <workflowServiceTraceBehavior /> </behavior> </serviceBehaviors> </behaviors> </system.serviceModel>
Debug the application and click the test button again. This time you will get the real error.
Now you get the correct exception
System.ServiceModel.FaultException was unhandled by user code Message=There is no context attached to the incoming message for the service and the current operation is not marked with "CanCreateInstance = true". In order to communicate with this service check whether the incoming binding supports the context protocol and has a valid context initialized.
System.ServiceModel.FaultException was unhandled by user code Message=There is no context attached to the incoming message for the service and the current operation is not marked with "CanCreateInstance = true". In order to communicate with this service check whether the incoming binding supports the context protocol and has a valid context initialized.
Now open your workflow service and set CanCreateInstance=true on the receive activity. Now your app should work correctly. Debug it again and in the output window you will see tracking information about everything that is happening in your service.
Activity <Sequential Service> state is Closed at 10:02:50.0799{ Variables handle: data: 123}WorkflowInstance <Sequential Service> is <Completed> at 10:02:50.0939WorkflowInstance <Sequential Service> is <Deleted> at 10:02:50.0969
I don't know how I ever did WorkflowService development without the WorkflowServiceTraceBehavior. It makes it so easy to figure out exactly what is going on with my service. You can use it with any kind of WorkflowService so check it out.
Happy Coding!
Ron Jacobs http://blogs.msdn.com/rjacobs Twitter: @ronljacobs http://twitter.com/ronljacobs
Could you share the rest of the system.serviceModel section of web.config? I'm having trouble getting off the ground.
That is the entire section of <system.serviceModel> in my sample code. What kind of trouble are you having?
Nevermind, I got everything working. Thanks for this blog post.

St. Vivekanand Millennium School believes inspiring students to become successful and responsible citizens. The curriculum is delivered through an innovative combination of classroom and activity-led learning. It is our mission to blend our strong cultural fundamentals of the Gurukul heritage and other traditional systems with advanced modern learning tools, thus providing a new direction in education. We not only believe in imparting mere education, but also indulge in spiritual learning.
Namaste is the integral part of our routine. The word Namaste is been originated from the Sanskrit word Namah means "I bow" and te means "to you" Namaste means "I bow to you" This tradition is been taken in our school to greet each other. At SVMS, our mornings start with chanting of Gayatri mantra, which is said to remove all obstacles in our path to increase wisdom and spiritual growth and development. After chanting of gayatri mantra, students come out of their classes for health run. Studies have shown the health benefits of runnings to be tremendously reducing the chance of common cold to cancer, which helps them to improve their fitness and stamina. It also increases bone density and considered to be best aerobic exercise for physical conditioning of the heart and lungs. Health run is followed by meditation with 'OM' gunjun.
Students are made to sit in meditation for concentrating the mind in a spiritual ideal, to be one with it and the thought process dissolving in the consciousness of it, which helps them to improve in three fields i.e. Pratyahara or withdrawl of the mind from the outer objects or attention to their memory, Dharana- patience and Dhyana i.e. concentration. Meditation helps to inculcate in students the power of concetration, which helps them to learn things faster and vividly.
At lunch break, the students chant Bhojan Mantra,"Om Brahmarpanam Brahavi-Brahmgano Brahmnahutam Brahov Ten Gantavayam Bramkaram Samadhina" which is recorded and run on School's System. According to Hindu way of life, food goes beyond just a means of body nourishment. It is also believed to influence our mental and spiritual development. This mantra gives the scientific explanation of the relation between food and energy.
At the end of the day, we have the silence period. After blow of "bigul", silence is observed to enable the students to reach out their inner self and thus they are able to detach from the material world and are able to find their true self.
Thus the school is marching ahead with its aim to make the students the ideal citizens of India like Swami Vivekanand - physically strong, mentally balanced and spiritually enlightened.
Every Tuesday there is Hawan in the School Campus where the students and teachers chant mantras to seek the blessings of God. This regular feature helps us to inculcate spiritual values among the students which are essential in today's modern world.Meditation
Everyday the students start their classroom learning with meditation. The silence period starts with blowing of Bigul. There is OM Naad through centralised PA System and everyone in the campus maintains silence & meditates. This regular feature provides mental strength to everyone present in the campus.Yoga
All the students participate in yoga. It is an integral part of our schedule. The yoga instructor guides them to do the yoga. Each and every child of the school knows different Aasnas and Surya Namaskar.Health-Run
It is a regular feature of our school. All the students are in the ground immediately after the assembly to go for health run. It energizes them to cope up with their busy schedule during the day.PARENT TEACHER MEETING
SVMS Pinjore encourages a healthy communication between the parents and teachers for the multifaceted grooming of the child. To conceptualize the ideal, regular Parent Teacher Meetings are organized for the better understanding between parents and the teachers to sort out the best solution for the academic as well as the emotional problems of the child. GENISIS- The outreach: Parent Teacher Association Nevertheless, no school can work well for children if parents and teachers do not act in partnership on behalf of the children's best interests. Parents have every right to understand what is happening to their children at school, and teachers have the responsibility to share that information without prejudicial judgment.... Such communication, which can only be in a child's interest, is not possible without mutual trust between parent and teacher. The overall purpose of PTA is to make every child's potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children.Talent Hunt
To dig out the deeply buried potentials of students and polish them to perfection, The Talent Hunt-bamalita is organised in the school where students showcase their unique talents in monoacting, solo singing, dance etc.Manav Kalyan Shivir
Blood and Eye donation is the supreme donation and is the most sacred service that we can render to the society and imbibe the feelings of love, affection, good will and cooperation among the students.Blood and Eye Donation Camp is organised in the school every year for the parents of the students.Van Mahotsav
To create the comprehensive awareness among the students and general masses regarding the cardinal importance of trees in our life. Green Harmony-Van Mahotsav is celebrated in the school every year. The rallies are also taken out to spread Green Harmony. The Plantation drive is also undertaken and hundreds of saplings of herbal and ornamental varieties are planted in the vicinity such as school campus, Kalka and Pinjore.Vidyarambh Sanskar
Poornima of Shravan month has great significance in life. These are considered pious and believed to have everlasting effect on the mind and body. Keeping this in view our school organises Vidhyaarambh Sanskar Havan for the students for their career and bright future. The holy fire and mantras purify the subtle and astral bodies of the students.Vivekanand Smriti Samaroh

Beth Turns 2 | Newfoundland Photographer
I've been photographing Beth since she was born, and she's actually big sister to Nate, who was featured in my last blog post. She is as busy as most 2 year olds, so I had to catch shots while she was "on the go", haha. I love her natural expression and static-cling hair in this fun photo of her!

Cutest Kids | Photographer, Bay Roberts
I've been photographing both Ella and Mason since they were born, and I think they just keep getting more cute every year!

Birthday Milestones | Newfoundland Photographer
I've been photographing Addison since she was a baby, and I get the updates from her grandma on how she's growing and changing in between sessions (I run into her grandma a couple times a year). Such a pleasure to see her again for her 3rd Birthday photos!
While I have been growing as a newborn photographer in Newfoundland (NL) and I've decided it's best for me to focus on newborn photography / studio portrait sessions for babies, I do enjoy getting outside and photographing kids that I've watched grow through pictures! This was taken near our new property in Bay Roberts.

THE France of whose brilliant civilization we have already treated in several chapters was not yet a nation, but a land of ambitious feudal lords and enterprising communes. It was still a congeries of distinct peoples and even its nobles were divided into groups according to locality. By the thirteenth century, however, the royal power began to make great strides. Many districts which formerly had been practically independent feudal states now came under the king's authority. But before a given region passed under royal control, it often had evolved distinct customs and legal usages of its own and also a representative assembly of the estates of that locality. As the king gradually extended his lordship over such feudal areas, he left to each its local customs and often granted numerous charters assuring the ancient privileges of this or that town or abbey or provincial group of nobles. Thus each part of France was governed in a slightly different way from its neighbor and no common law like that of England was created. On the other hand, there was little united action in opposition to the French king, who signed no such general and sweeping concession as Magna Carta. The local charters which he did sign were easier for him after a time to disregard or to take away, since in each case only a certain district or group of persons was concerned to defend the charter. Thus in the end the French monarchy became more arbitrary and absolute than the English. England became a strong nation through its law and Parliament and constitutional government. But in France the king and his court and officials were the chief force uniting the different provinces, lords, and communes, and welding them at last into one people. All those small nationalities of the feudal world were ultimately swallowed
