Security Agencies Suck Innocent Poor Bangalore: Many security agencies are in the habit of eating into the earnings and the hard work of employees who work sincerely. Big companies do not bother to hire security guards through agencies that take a good amount of money to provide security guards. But the agencies pay a meagre amount to the security guards and extract work. Ranging from 10 to 50% of the money paid by the private companies is taken as commission by the agencies. There are no fixed rules or appointment letters, etc given to the security guards.
The security agencies don't mind

It is understood that the security guards will sleep in between so as to get ready for the next duty assigned. The agency pays a lesser amount while engaging employees like that.

The statue of Lord Swaminathaswami at Swamimalai in Tamil Nadu is 51/2 feet tall. During Dasara Festival, special alankaras are done for Lord Balamurugan here. On various other occasions throughout the year, special poojsr are performed here. A group of 12 members in the temple trust play active role in making this happen. Mr. Balasubramanian, the
General Secretary of the temple says, “The sanctity of temple is maintained by performing Kumbabhishekam every year and God wills that devotees take part and donate for the grand celebrations.” Mr. Arumugam, the Vice President along with Mr. Balasubramanian invite all devotees for the pooja function and participate in all the rituals and homas so as to invoke the blessings of Lord Balamurugan.
The agitation was also to press for implementing Cadre and Recruitment Rules for Physical Education Teachers in government aided schools. Despite over 35 years of service no promotions had
been given to PT teachers. Though the Supreme Court had ordered minimum of three promotions for PT teachers during service in the aided schools, the concerned authorities had not shown concern to implement the orders. The Association Secretary Mr. S N S Hussain said appeals to concerned Ministers had gone in vain and assurances not implemented though Gazette Notification issued in 2002.
Grand Flower Archana for Lord Venkataramana Swami BEML Layout: For the first time, a grand flower archana was performed at Sri Boo Neela Sametha Sri Venkataramana Swami Prasanna Temple at BEML Layout. Flower offering is a thousand year old ritual in our country, dating back to old Vedic devotional practices. Prayer intended to invoke the presence of God (Puja Archana) was often combined with a flower offering (Pushpanjali). In Sanskrit, pushpa means 'flower' and anjali means 'offering with folded hands.' So Pushpanjali means offering of flowers with folded hands. The popularly known Sahasranama Archana was performed. A

the recent years. The motto behind these agencies is to make money by utilizing the work force available rather than seriously developing the security system. Scant or no attention is paid to the training of security guards. Unethical practices by the field officers and the managing people in agencies bring ill repute to the profession itself. The private companies do not bother what the hell happens to the security guards but making the agency responsible for supplying workers.

MIND WORKS-39 How to order from the Universe? By UK Athikkal
-----------
The universe we live in works like a popular restaurant. You go in. you decide what you want, you order it, you receive it, and you digest it. Unfortunately, a lot of people don't seem to know how to order. Some are downright inept at it. They walk in to the restaurant, behave like complete ignorant. And they end up hungry and disappointed. Then they complain about the restaurant. Is it not similar situation that happens in our lives? Those who are not able to manage their life well, often end up finding fault with the world or their destiny. We come across people who set goals like, “I want a romantic partner”, or “I want a stable job that pays me more money”, or “I want to lose weight”. One needs to be specific in asking for what you want. Don't ask for more money. If you want Rs. 10 lakhs cash, then order for the same, don't ask for it. Don't ask for a better job, be more specific. If you want to be a fashion designer, be clear about the level you aspire to be. One of the best ways to get what you actually want is to take your best guess, and order it. When you get what you ask for, it may not turn out quite right. That contrast between what you received and how you feel about it will give you a better sense of what you actually do want. Then you can make a better guess and make another attempt at placing another order. As you repeat the process, you'll gradually hone in on what you actually

It opens with our toy heroes playacting a joyous make believe for their beloved Andy under a beautiful blue sky, and ends with Andy himself doing something similar for a young girl about to embark on her own adventure. Thrilling, bittersweet, and hilarious when it isn't too heartrending to be funny, Toy Story 3 is this summer's miracle.

The film's centerpiece is a prison break sequence as exciting and deliriously inventive as anything in The Great Escape. Andy is on his way to college, and Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz (Tim Allen), Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head (Don Rickles and Estelle Harris), and the rest of the gang find themselves donated to Sunnyside daycare. Sunnyside's toy world is run by a folksy megalomaniac teddy bear named Lotso (the brilliant Ned Beatty), who first sticks the newcomers in a non-age-appropriate playroom (the hyper little brats unleash some cruel and unusual punishment on the poor toys), and then just shoves them all into crates, having reprogrammed Buzz into his mindlessly righteous out-of-the-box self and fashioned
him into a turbocharged prison guard. The mission is to get out and get back to Andy, who, it turns out, meant to lovingly store the toys in his attic, not give them away. Their escape -- a long sequence that made my face ache from grinning -- has the momentum, visual coherence, and sense of play that not a single one of this year's bigbudget actioners has been able to muster. There's one particular gag involving Mr. Potato Head and a tortilla that made me gasp and then very nearly squeal with delight. Another one involving a surveillance monkey (!) is very nearly as good. And there's a brief scene inside a trash incinerator that brought tears to my eyes with its wordless, clear-eyed simplicity. Toy Story 3 ends on a note of hope and confidence. That ending is the best scene in the best movie of the year, a deeply moving smiling-throughtears moment.

Obtaining Child Rights Through Art Marathalli: Srushti is a developmental communications NGO, which focuses on capacity building of the marginalized to engage in the communication of their issues and lobbying for their rights. Creative Communication for Change through Arts (CCCA) is a process evolved at Srusthi Arts and Communication Center through a decade long engagement with children and teachers. This way of using the arts based processes to communicate, enables one to engage both creatively and artistically with the community, thereby resolving their issues. An important factor which plays a key role in initiating child participation is communication. The recognition of the need for developing communication skills to negotiate and secure the rights of a child was an important outcome of the training programs conducted by Srusthi Arts. The lack of these skills among communities in many villages of Karnataka was glaring. Creating awareness on child rights, developing skills to enable the children to secure their rights was needed to be built,
keeping in mind the Indian cultural context where the child is preferred to be seen rather than be heard. Through art processes, children are able to build their capacities to think creatively and evolve new solutions to age old problems, express themselves through myriad indigenous art forms, which become a crucial factor for the overall development of the child. Art processes first enable the children to get in touch with themselves, identify their feelings with various issues around them and finally help them express themselves. This enhances their self awareness, self confidence, creates confidence in ones own thought helps them reflect on those thoughts, and strengthen their capacity to communicate with the community, peers and teachers. Barriers between children and teachers are also broken through these arts processes. The personal development of the teachers is an inherent component of this arts exercise.
