Adults need to help children feel safe at a time when the world seems to be a more dangerous place. Parents and teachers in particular must help youngsters understand current events factually, how events do or do not impact their lives, and how to handle their emotional reactions. The degree to which children are affected will vary depending on personal circumstances. Children who have suffered a personal loss from, or had firsthand exposure to, terrorist acts or military actions will be much more vulnerable. Especially American/ British Children whose parents may be involved or serving with the armed forces in conflicts in Iraq/Afghanistan so are at greater risk and those children whose parents are involved in emergency response or public safety.

Children are not responsible for their parents actions so All children, however, are likely to be affected in some way by war or terrorism. For many, the guidance of caring adults will make the difference between being overwhelmed and developing lifelong emotional and psychological coping skills. Teachers and caretakers can help restore children’s sense of security by modeling calm and in-control behaviour. It is crucial to provide opportunity for children to discuss their concerns and to help them separate real from imagined fears. It is also important to limit exposure to media coverage of violence. It will also be important to teach children that not all from one particular religion or country are the same so that discrimination factors are erased from the child’s mind.

Leading the political coalition People’s Partnership, Kamla Persad got the majority winning 29 of the 41 parliamentary seats in the election on Monday. The 58-year-old Hindu woman, who is a granny of two, is grateful for the womens’ immense support across the country for choosing her as the PM.

With an excellent educational and professional background in West Indies, Ms. Persad Bissessar was the first woman attorney general. She had also served as minister of legal affairs as well as minister of education earlier.

An Indian-origin PM hails from 1, 48,000 Indian labourers, who were shifted there to work on sugar and cocoa plantations during 1845-1917.

Kamla Persad-Bissessar was to become the first female prime minister of Trinidad and Tobago as her five-party coalition headed for a strong victory in snap elections in the former British colony. Skip related content.

A subdued Prime Minister Patrick Manning conceded defeat some five hours after the close of polls. “What I do know is that we’ve lost the elections,”Manning said on live television. “The people have spoken.” Meanwhile, jubilant crowds gathered at the headquarters of Persad-Bissessar’s United National Congress (UNC), the main opposition party, which heads the People’s Partnership coalition.

In India’s view, the NPT is a flawed treaty as “it does not recognize the need for universal, non-discriminatory verification and treatment.” India is a nuclear weapon capable state. Pakistan and Israel enjoy the same status. All the three are out of the NPT. India and Pakistan had undertaken nuclear tests but Israel avoided such a course apparently considering it unnecessary. But, it is a known fact that Tel Aviv possesses about 200 nuclear weapons. North Korea which had been a signatory to the treaty from the very inception walked out of it 2001 and conducted tests in 2006 and 2009 to demonstrate its weapon capability. Pyongyang’s action raised a new threat of proliferation not only for the Korean peninsula but for the world as a whole.

The so-called upper caste Hindu, besides, suffers from an enormous guilt complex vis-à-vis dalits, for treating them for centuries as untouchables, no matter what various social reformers like Basaveshwara in Karnataka have striven to change the mind-set of people. That is why, one suspects, the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh in her fourth term can get away with anything. Mayavati is a dalit and she has been exploiting the guilt complex effectively. She must be one of the most corrupt Chief Minister India ever had, but she gets away scot-free. But it is time the truth about her assets is revealed even if, presently, she has got a reprieve.

The CBI has already told the Supreme Court that it has ample evidence of her illegal wealth. Much of it is available in a remarkable biography of the lady, entitled Behanji, authored by Ajoy Bose and published by no less a firm than Penguin/Viking. It must be remembered that Bose’s findings have never been challenged. But what are they?

The CBI listed the immovable assets of Mayavati and her family as follows: 41 agricultural plots, 16 residential plots, 7 shops, three orchards, two shops-cumresidence s located in and around Delhi; a mansion in her ancestral village of Badalpur, described by NDTV as a mini-Taj Mahal, built on a sprawling 30,000 square yards estate.

As per Transparency International, if asked, German Government has offered to provide information on accounts to various nations the world over including India, free of cost, but India refuses to take the offer. I had visualized such situation long back as while dealing with this issue

I had foreseen this attitude of the Government, pointing out clearly in my book `Who Owns CBI: The Naked Truth’ that “It will not be easy to take any step in this direction, as the first obstacle will come from Indian elites, who are holding such accounts/assets abroad. They will oppose any such move tooth and nail. But no meaningful fight against corruption, black money and plethora of economic offences can be really successful without such radical measures.” I had attempted the analysis in context of Switzerland alone and had assessed Indian wealth in that single country at $5 trillions, but there are some other well known SLUSH PARKS like St Kitts, Antigua, Bahamas, Isle of Man that will multiply such holdings manifold .

“It’s a great day to be a particle physicist,” said the director-general, Rolf Heuer, of the European Organisation for Nuclear Research or CERN, where the LHC is based. “A lot of people have waited a long time for this moment, but their patience and dedication is starting to pay dividends.” Fabiola Gianotti, leader of the Atlas project, said after the collisions, “It’s so intense, everyone’s feeling a big emotion, a big enthusiasm. It’s a machine of unprecedented size and complexity, but behind that are the people, and particularly the young scientists.” The LHC aims to explore the nature of the universe just moments after the Big Bang and will increase our understanding of how it was created, and what it is made of and how it will evolve. The entire project has so far cost around seven billion euros (USD 9.4 billion).

The most recent notice posted on the website of Consul Generals of India, San Francisco and New York stipulates that Persons of Indian Origin in the United States of America who have acquired U.S citizenship, are required to surrender their Indian Passports to the nearest Indian Consulate within 90 days of their naturalization as US citizens. The surrender certificate is free if the Indian passport expired before January 1, 2005. However, if the Indian Passport expired after January 1, 2005 and were not surrendered within three years of obtaining US citizenship, a service fee of $175 (US$) will be charged, provided the Indian passport was not used for travel in which case a penalty would also apply. The Government of India requires completion of a form and payment of fee and penalty, if applicable, for obtaining the surrender certificate. A US citizen of Indian origin applying for an Indian visa, OCI/PIO cards or wanting other consular services may not be able to get any such service without complying with the new rules.

Research the Area You will Be Traveling When you are thinking about traveling internationally, you should learn as much as you can about the area. The Internet is an outstanding tool for learning about thegood and bad areas of the country or specific area you’ll be visiting. Reading the personal account of other people, tour guides, or people who specialize in the area you are going to will allow you to plan ahead for your safety, and stay in locations that will offer you the most security. The Internet will also address transportation concerns, good and not so good lodging, and the like.

If you plan on using public transportation on your international travels, you’ll want to pay close attention to the information about security and safety in this area. Subways and public rail systems can be quite confusing, and tourists can end up being victimized because they don’t know where they are going, and there is often a lack of security in these areas. Know what you are getting into before you travel, so you can plan accordingly. Also, when you make hotel arrangements ask about security available and the safety of the surrounding areas, so you can decide whether it’ll be safe to go out on your own after dark and such.

Singh’s is the first visit by an Indian Prime Minister to Saudi Arabia since 1982 when Indira Gandhi travelled to the desert kingdom, which accounts for 20% of country’s energy imports and, by virtue of its King being the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, holds a pivotal position in the Islamic world.

It is recognized here that the country should have followed up on Indira Gandhi’s visit, but the failure to do so is
blamed on India’s preoccupation with developments in the neighbourhood and the toil to come to grips with the post-Cold War world. Saudis had their own concerns and imperatives — a volatile Middle East and churn in the Islamic world which threatened to challenge the hold of the House of Sauds.

But the two countries have decided to make up for the lost time and deepen the engagement. The visit of King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud in January 2006 when he was also the Chief Guest for the Republic Day celebrations, was the turning point.
