Salesians to launch film on Don Bosco
March 16, 2011
Salesians in northeastern India are making a short film on Don Bosco as part of the bi-centenary celebrations of the saint's birth. The 28-minute film The Hand of Don Bosco is scheduled for release on May 1, the first day of the pilgrimage of the relics of Don Bosco in India. "It is a thanksgiving to God for the wonders He has done through the Hand of Don Bosco in this region of the northeast," said Salesian Father Joseph Pulinthanth from Tripura who wrote the script for the film and is also directing it. The relics of the saint are currently on a tour of different countries and will reach India on April 29 from Myanmar. The pilgrimage will start from Imphal, Manipur on May 1. They will pass through Guwahati, Kolkata, Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Goa, Karnataka, Kerala, Hyderabad and Trichy.

By Rick Warren
— May 21, 2014
"A rebel shouts in anger; a wise man holds his temper in and cools it." (Proverbs 29:11 TLB)
When you're angry, don't respond impulsively. Delay is a great tool in controlling anger. I'm not saying delay indefinitely or even beyond a day; the Bible says don't go to sleep when you're angry. I'm talking about delaying it for five minutes.
When you start to get ticked off, take "time out" for a few minutes. Give yourself some time to reflect and think through the situation. If you don't stop and think, you are likely to do the wrong thing. You need to reflect before you respond.
When we get angry, we need to make a habit of stepping back, waiting a few minutes, and then looking at the situation from God's point of view. Notice how the Bible says a wise man lets his anger cool down (Proverbs 29:11). So, "cool it" is a Biblical term! A modern translation might be: "The wise man waits and chills out." Thomas Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence, said, "When angry, count to ten before you speak. If very angry, count to one hundred."
Talk About It
Understanding the reason for your anger will give you greater patience and perhaps even the ability to overlook an offense (Proverbs 19:11). Ask yourself three questions to help you understand why you are angry:
Rick Warren is the founding pastor of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif., one of America's largest and most influential churches. Rick is author of the New York Times bestseller "The Purpose Driven Life." His book, "The Purpose Driven Church," was named one of the 100 Christian books that changed the 20th century. He is also the founder of Pastors.com, a global Internet community for pastors.
This devotional © 2012 by Rick Warren. All rights reserved. Used by permission.
God is all about changing lives. He can help you through any struggle you're facing, and take you from where you are to where you want to be.
In God's Power to Change Your Life, Rick Warren lays the groundwork for personal transformation, offering biblical insights on what it takes to become more loving, live more peacefully, develop patience, and have self-control
You can live for weeks without food, days without water, and seconds without air. But you cannot live without hope! In this series, Pastor Rick shares how the hope of Jesus' Resurrection means God is still able to do a miracle in your life.

Good 3.8 /5 from 222 reviews
Great stay. Room was clean, it was a 15 minutes walk to Old Town. Good breakfast.
I would rate it as an average hotel. It has the necessary but nothing spectacular. The service sufficient but lacking friendliness. The breakfast was adequate. Free parking was available only for about 6 cars. It is close to the ship terminal but a decent walk to Old Town.
The room was great. We got it for 4 people and it was a very big size, with 4 separate beds and a lot of space. Located right next to the Tallink cruise terminal, it was perfect for those taking the ferry. We walked to some of the sites and to Old Town, and it was only maybe 30 minutes or so away from the main city. Free breakfast was a plus as well. Great stay!
The twin beds were not comfortable at all. The reception was unable to answer most of my questions about touring the area. They couldn't even tell me where to get a card for public transport. I asked for a taxi to the airport they said they put it in and when no taxi showed up that morning I had them call the company again but the taxi company said no order was placed. No service with a smile here. The breakfast was flavorless and cheap.

Want to save money? Check out the 2010 Mitsubishi Endeavor
By KBB Editors
In a sea of car-based, crossover sport-utility vehicles, it's easy to overlook the 2011 Mitsubishi Endeavor. Although the Endeavor has been around for a number of years, it is still not on many consumers' radar. For those not needing rock-climbing off-road ability or the need to tow a big boat, a vehicle like the Mitsubishi Endeavor makes good, practical sense. With room for five and available all-wheel drive, the Endeavor competes with such venerable favorites as the Toyota Highlander, Nissan Murano and GMC Terrain. However, it's the Mitsubishi Endeavor's long list of standard features and competitive price that will probably motivate most consumers to give this sporty crossover a second look.
If you're looking for a car-like ride in a rugged-looking crossover that offers plenty of ground clearance and a plethora of standard features, the 2011 Mitsubishi Endeavor is not to be overlooked.
If you're looking for maximum fuel economy in a roomy all-wheel-drive vehicle, the
Subaru Outback 2.5 might make a better choice. Those who tow heavy loads or venture into rugged off-road territory will probably be better off in something like the
Jeep Grand Cherokee.
For 2011, Mitsubishi adds the Navigation and Sunroof package to the up-level Endeavor SE. The package comes at no additional cost and includes touch-screen navigation, rear backup camera, a power sunroof, and a rear cargo cover.
In our few days spent behind the wheel of the 2011 Mitsubishi Endeavor, we found the vehicle delivered good ride quality with steering that was direct and responsive. On long...
... highway stretches, the Endeavor tracked straight and true, and was seemingly impervious to strong crosswinds and buffeting. In city and suburban driving, the car's modest size translates into easy parking and maneuverability. Thanks to its high seating position and low beltline, drivers of all sizes will find they have a commanding view of the road. Rated at 225 horsepower, the Endeavor's V6 isn't as strong as some competitors, nor is it as quiet. We could live with both attributes if the trade-off was great gas mileage, but the Endeavor is rated at a mere 15 miles per gallon in the government's city driving cycle and 21 miles per gallon in the highway driving test.
Rockford Fosgate Audio System
This mild family cruiser gets a little extra kick over its competition, thanks to the
360-watt Rockford Fosgate system.
Handy Power Outlets
You shouldn't have a problem finding places to plug in your accessories: The Mitsubishi Endeavor features four 12-volt power outlets.
The 2011 Mitsubishi Endeavor provides plenty of passenger space both front and rear. Fold down the Endeavor's rear seats and its cargo hold expands to fit any number of items, from bags of mulch to a flat screen TV. The instrument panel is rather pronounced, with a bulging center stack containing the climate and audio controls, flanked by two wing-like vents. Atop the stack is a large LCD graphic display screen that shows various functions and information and, on Endeavor SE, houses the DVD navigation. One particular feature that caught our eye is the small corner window forward of the front door that provides a clear, unobstructed view of pedestrians and other traffic normally blocked by the mirrors and windshield pillar.
While Mitsubishi identifies the 2011 Mitsubishi Endeavor as a crossover, its sculpted lines and muscular fender flares give it the appearance of a capable
SUV. Far from being just another overgrown station
wagon, the Endeavor impresses with its good ground clearance, tall roof, and large cargo hold. Clever design elements include a low load-in height at the rear hatch, pedestal-style folding side mirrors, and an integrated roof rack. The base LS trim features color-keyed door handles and mirrors, while the up-level SE gets heated side mirrors.
Standard equipment on the base 2011 Mitsubishi Endeavor LS includes a 225-horsepower, 3.8-liter V6 engine connected to a Sportronic Sequential-Shift four-speed automatic transmission. Other standards include remote keyless entry, four 12-volt outlets, remote tailgate release, and 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels. Standard audio is an AM/FM stereo unit with a CD player. The up-level Endeavor SE adds heated outside mirrors, steering wheel audio controls, leather seating, a DVD-based navigation system, a power sunroof, rear backup camera, and a 360-watt Rockford Fosgate audio system.
Options for the Endeavor LS and SE trims include a tow package (trailer hitch and wiring harness) and the Appearance Package (rear mud guards, rear cargo tray and black side steps).
The 2011 Mitsubishi Endeavor offers only one engine choice: a 225-horsepower, 3.8-liter V6 that pulls adequately but achieves marginal fuel economy. The engine is teamed to a four-speed Sportronic automatic transmission that features a manual shift mode good for passing or engine braking when descending steep grades.
3.8-liter V6
225 horsepower @ 5000 rpm
255 lb.-ft. of torque @ 3750 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 15/21 (2WD), 15/19 (AWD)

Hvac tube flooded my car twice with a/c and defrost in winter, bad design way water runs down frame, no recall, you can pull the step by step way to fix it on the mitsu site. If your coils blow out, ONLY REPLACE W TRUE MITSU COILS, do not use aftermarket. They blew out my catalytic converters too. Used acetone in the tank the last 30k miles and still got top mileage without cats. Only use 2 oz acetone in 2009 or older cars.

Shifting was getting odd, but the fluid change solved that.The 08 was not recalled for defective propeller shaft but it did occur on mine. It was a recall item on previous year endeavors. Had to really fight with the dealer to get that covered under warranty. They just pretended not to hear the whine of the shaft bearing. The endevour has been a cheap car to maintain and drive for the 5 years i have owned it. I would buy another. Many i see with high miles and still going strong."

World's Smallest Snake
The Barbados threadsnake is the smallest snake in the world.
The recently discovered species is as thin as a spaghetti noodle and measures just 3.9 inches long. Because of its small size, it is susceptible to attacks from anything ranging from centipedes to spiders…not to mention it's blind. I think I'd be hard-pressed to come up with an animal that's more defenseless than this one.

American officials have conducted consultations on their plans, which have been in the pipeline for at least six years.

Apia, SAMOA — Samoa's Chief Justice, Tiava'esu'e Falefatu Sapolu has scheduled sentencing for a 52 year old man who broke into a home and stole a fine mat, small beer bottles, cell phone, slippers and canned food in Faleali'i, Samoa. Asuasuega Pati of Falealili is charged with burglary and stealing, which are both felonies.
A 24-year old woman was charged last week with three misdemeanor counts of third degree assault, resisting arrest and public peace disturbance. Faafili Lesa had her initial appearance late last week in District Court, where bail was set at $300. No confirmation at press time as to when she will appear in court again.

The Carolina Hurricanes are expected to be fairly active ahead of the April 3 trade deadline. The prolonged absence of Cam Ward (MCL sprain) makes goaltending one issue that needs addressing -- especially now with Dan Ellis out seven to 10 days with a lacerated leg. Plus, as discussed by ESPN.com's Craig Custance, injuries to defensemen Justin Faulk (ankle/up to four weeks) and Joe Corvo (lower-body injury/approx. one week) should inspire GM Jim Rutherford to pursue an experienced defenseman as well.

The Conflict Resolution Test
Their result for The Conflict Resolution Test ...
The Zen Master
Conflict Resolution Strategy: Everything Is As It Should Be
Summary: Congratulations, you deal with conflict as few people can: Calmly, logically and efficiently--all without even breaking a sweat. You're calm, cool and collected and have the perfect balance of assertiveness and respect. You piss off agressive people because you refuse to engage with them. Verbal attacks roll off you like water off a duck's back. You never need a time out to go to your "happy place" because you're already there.
Advice: You don't need any. You seem to have this conflict resolution thing down. Maybe you can teach the other conflictually-challenged people how to be more like you.
Their Analysis (Vertical line = Average)

Picture: Princess Diana's wax figure Madame Tussauds New York reveals the new wax figures of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and Kate Middleton aka Catherine, Duchess...
DIANA, Princess Of Wales' controversial former butler Paul Burrell has been accused of helping a fake footman win a job at Buckingham Palace.
Burrell - who caused much upset recently for revealing secrets about the tragic princess in his tell-all book - is at the centre of a new scandal which came to light yesterday (19NOV03), when a worker at Queen Elizabeth II's residence was found to be phoney.
Journalist RYAN PARRY - who works for Britain's DAILY MIRROR tabloid with Burrell - gave bogus job references to work for the Queen, which he managed to do for two months.
But senior courtiers are convinced Burrell - who was slammed by Diana's two sons Prince William and Prince Harry for betraying their mother - coached him.
One royal courtier says, "As he works for the Mirror, it would be incredible to believe that Burrell did not help the reporter carry out the deception of getting a job.
"There is considerable anger that Burrell has used his knowledge in this way."20/11/2003 02:25

Ethical leadership is good for business as the organization is seen to conduct its business in line with the expectations of all stakeholders. Sound Corporate Governance is therefore critical to enhance and retain investors' trust. Unless a corporation embraces and demonstrates ethical conduct. cost effectiveness. There is therefore no one single model of Corporate Governance. technological advancement. Corporate Governance is the system by which companies are directed and managed. The acceptance of the concept gave rise of 'Corporate Governance'. and therefore. I do feel it is necessary to trace the evolution of the concept for better comprehension. 4. Increasingly. In this regard. employees. A corporation is a congregation of various stakeholders. What is "Corporate Governance" It is known fact that vital needs of success of any organization lingers on its ability to mobilize and utilize all kinds of resources to meet the objectives clearly set as part of the planning process.

removal of barriers/reduction in duties. In fact. Notwithstanding the contributions. In USA. The Corporate system and diverse ownership did contribute in a substantial measure to prosperity. It is quite possible that in the effort at arriving the best possible financial results or business results there could be attempts at doing things which are verging on the illegal or even illegal. It is the increasing role of foreign institutional investors in emerging economies that has made the concept of corporate governance a relevant issue today. 7. In fact. it is financial integrity that assumes tremendous importance. the failures too caused concerns among the regulators. These are (i) Physical capital in terms of plant and machinery. The Cadbury Report (1992) simply describes Corporate Governance as 'the system by which companies are directed and controlled'. from certain multinational consultancy firms. These raise moral issues. There is also the possibility of grey areas where an act is not illegal but considered unethical. This involves the rapid migration of four elements across national borders.

In the increasingly close interaction of the economies of different countries lies the process of globalisation. rules and controls did not adequately address the issues related to the failures caused by deficient or intentional fraudulent managements. 3 . Corporate Governance is nothing but the moral or ethical or value framework under which corporate decisions are taken. and (iv) Labour. 10. c) Market conditions are increasingly becoming complex in the light of global developments like WTO. As I see it. This would mean that the directors and all concerned should be open and straight/forthright about issues where there is conflict of interest involved in financial decision making. (ii) Financial capital. When it comes to even the purchase/procurement procedures. The Securities and Exchange Commission of USA initiated action against multinational accounting firms for failure to detect blatant violation of accounting standards. 9. b) The players in the field are many. and penalities running to several million dollars were recovered. d) The failure of corporates due to lack of transparency and disclosures and instances of falsification of accounts/embezzlement and the effect of such undesirable practices in other companies. 6. Why Corporate Governance? a) The liberalization and de-regulation world over gave greater freedom in management. 8. the very definition of corporate governance stems from its organic link with the entire gamut of activities having a direct or indirect influence on the financial health of corporate entities.
Many corporates did not pay heed to investors' grievances. yet the inadequate implementation and the absence of severe penalty. 14. 15. The committee observed that there are companies. The Kumar Mangalam Committee made mandatory and non-mandatory recommendations. which allow sufficient freedom to Board and Management to take decisions towards progress and to innovate. The important aspects. While there were enough rules and regulations to take care of grievances. respond positively to them and reward such companies with higher valuations. This need for re-assurance is felt by the FIIs due to the fact that there have been cases of dramatic collapse of enterprises which were apparently doing well but which were not observing the principles of corporate governance. left much to be desired. The increasing concern of the foreign investors is that the enterprise in which they invest should not only be effectively managed but should also observe the principles of corporate governance. are: (i) (ii) Board of Directors are accountable to shareholders. India could really take a step forward to becoming a less corrupt country and improving its rank in the Corruption Perception Index listed by the Transparency International. In this. There is increasing concern about standards of financial reporting and accountability especially after losses are suffered by investors and leaders in the recent past. which could have been avoided with better and more transparent reporting practices. In India corruption is an all embracing phenomenon. In other words. protecting and enhancing wealth and resources 4 . Securities and Exchange Board of India constituted a Committee on Corporate Governance under the Chairmanship of Mr. Kumar Mangalam Birla. Studies in India and abroad show that markets and investors take notice of well managed companies.

This is the first point to be realised. then we are not going to achieve good corporate governance. I think we will have to look at the hardware as well as the software aspect. Whistle Blower Policy.

Laying emphasis on calibre of non-executive directors especially independent directors. So far as the software aspect is concerned. It is always possible to mouth very high principles but act in a very lowly manner. Classification of non-executive directors into those who are independent and those who are not. to disclose in Annual Report. But the sad fact 5 . we go into the issue of a code. Nominee directors to be treated on par with any other director. Related party transactions. Narayana Murthy Committee recommendations include role of Audit Committee.

In the current competitive environment. so that these values are practiced. 26. With the SEBI trying to bring some discipline in the stock market especially in terms of greater transparency and disclosure norms. In fact. Another would be the regulatory authorities like SEBI.in our country is that even though there is a lot of talk about corporate governance. Perhaps the most important challenge we face towards better corporate governance is the mindset of the people and the organisational culture. One can have practices which are legal but which are unethical. which will be conducive for such a mindset taking place. The government or the regulatory agencies at best can provide certain environment. corporate governance in the Indian context at least seems to focus primarily and rightly on the issue of transparency. But how is this transparency to be achieved? One method of course is the code. is of the people especially the members of the board of directors and the top management. Another legal approach to achieve better corporate governance may be to look at the whole issue of bringing the corporate sector under the discipline of debt and equity. Lay solid foundations for management and oversight 6 . Perhaps amendment of the Companies Act and bringing in this discipline will also help in automatically ensuring better ethics and corporate governance. there is greater loyalty. nothing much happens. A clear understanding of the fundamental values which govern corporate governance and their explicit articulation in a proper code backed by well established structures and traditions like the ethics committee and audit committee may be the best insurance for good corporate governance under the circumstances. Another important aspect is to realise that ultimately the spirit of corporate governance is more important than the form. This change will have to come from within. once there is greater loyalty. 10 Essential Governance Principles A company should: * 1. It is lack of transparency that leads to corrupt or illegal behaviour. 23. Values are the essence of corporate governance and these will have to be clearly articulated and systems and procedures devised. when it comes to reality. 24. it is only natural that the focus should be on transparency. and when there is a commitment to employees. 25. but the primary responsibility. creativity is vital to get a competitive edge.

RBI etc. If corporate governance is concerned with better ethics and principles. Substance is more important than style. tax planning exercises may border on the fine razor's edge between the strictly legal and the patently unethical. the employees will become more creative. We then come to a common moral problem in running enterprises. there is greater commitment to the employees.

Its objective is not mere fulfilment of legal requirements but ensuring commitment on managing transparently for maximising shareholder values. Sd/(Ranjana Kumar) Vigilance Commissioner 9 . officers and employees. Finally the key lesson for us to learn are that Regulations and Policies are only one part of improving governance. Existence of a comprehensive system alone cannot guarantee ethical pursuit of shareholder's interest by Directors. Corporate governance extends beyond corporate law. Quality of governance depends upon competence and integrity of Directors. Corporate Governance in the Public Sector cannot be avoided and for this reason it must be embraced.

Unreliable legend has Vitus, the only son of a senator in Sicily, become a Christian when he was twelve. When his conversions and miracles became widely known to the administrator of Sicily, Valerian, he had Vitus brought before him, to shake his faith. He was unsuccessful, but Vitus with his tutor, Modestus, and servant, Crescentia, fled to Lucania and then to Rome, where he freed Emperor Diocletian's son of an evil spirit. When Vitus would not sacrifice to the gods, his cure was attributed to sorcery. He, Modestus, and Crescentia were subjected to various tortures from which they emerged unscathed, and were freed when during a storm, temples were destroyed and an angel guided them back to Lucania, where they eventually died. So much for the legend. What is fact is that their cult goes back centuries and that they were Christians who were martyred in Lucania. A great devotion to Vitus developed in Germany when his relics were translated to Saxony in 836. He is one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers and is the patron of epileptics, those afflicted with St. Vitus' Dance (named after him}, dancers, and actors, and is a protector against storms.
