  • The Story of Football in Trinidad and Tobago 1893 -2000
    The Story of Football in Trinidad and Tobago 1893 -2000 Chapter One Kick-off THE Trinidad News and San Fernando Gazette of June 6, 1893, was not at all happy with what was happening in the Trinidad society during the year. The paper reported that there was growing corruption among the youth in the colony which was the direct result of the invasion of Government offices as well as stores and estates by strangers from the United Kingdom. In its editorial entitled ‘Agricultural pursuits,’ the paper noted: “What with the invasion of government offices, of stores and sugar estates by strangers from the mother country, more particularly from Scotland, and what with the growing corruption of our young men by frequentation of places of evil, gambling halls, dignity balls etc, our youth of the better classes are in a fair way of becoming a nuisance to themselves and their country, instead of, as in other countries, forming the main factor of the moral, intellectual and physical wealth of their native land.” The paper continued: “It would be knocking our heads against a stone wall to find fault with Scotsmen who now have the dry goods trade and the management of sugar estates mostly in their hands because they send their poor relatives or friends from Scotland to fill situations of emoluments under them. We believe our creole youth to be brighter than the young strangers who are imported to occupy posts which of right, should be theirs and with the knowledge they have of people, their ways, their language and their wants, they would certainly be more useful.

  • It Is Written
    John Bradshaw, speaker-director. Photo from ItIsWritten.com It is Written GREG HUDSON Greg Hudson, D.Min. (Andrews University, Berrien Springs, Michigan), is the senior pastor of the Georgia-Cumberland Academy church in Calhoun, Georgia. He has worked as a registered nurse, and served as a pastor and academy chaplain in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Georgia. It Is Written, a Seventh-day Adventist television ministry founded by George Vandeman, began a weekly broadcast in selected American cities in 1956 and has since extended its reach throughout the world. The first religious television program to broadcast in color, It Is Written has innovated methods of using mass media technologies to augment local evangelism throughout its history. The Emergence of Adventist Television Ministry (1939-1955) The Adventist church became involved in television ministry in 1949, a decade after the televising of the New York World’s Fair in 1939 demonstrated the potential of this new medium.1 After the end of World War II in 1945, as more and more Americans acquired television sets, Adventists saw both its dangers as an immoral influence and its great potential in reaching large numbers of people with the message of Jesus.2 The success demonstrated by the Voice of Prophecy radio broadcast, helped prepare Adventists to recognize the evangelistic potential of modern media. R. H. Libby, J. L. Tucker, and W. A. Fagal pioneered the Adventist use of television as a means of evangelism. On the west coast Tucker started airing The Quiet Hour in 1949.3 In November of that same year, R. H. Libby started airing A Faith to Live By in Baltimore, generating much interest and hundreds of Bible studies, despite working with no budget, no music director, and no musicians.4 Soon another program, Heralds of Hope, with evangelist Robert L.

    Sample Checking Of Dise Data Of 2009-10 In Madhya Pradesh REPORT Submitted to The Commissioner Rajya Shiksha Kendra BHOPAL – 462001 Submitted by Dr. Sandeep Joshi Professor Madhya Pradesh Institute of Social Science Research (An ICSSR Institute) 6, Bharatpuri Administrative Zone, Ujjain – 456010 Acknowledgement The data collected through DISE is very important as it is used for policy formulation and programme implementation right from the grassroots level to the national level. Hence, the reliability and accuracy of the data is also of paramount importance. The present study of random sample checking of DISE Data of 2009-10 of Madhya Pradesh is an effort in that direction. It seeks to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of DISE data collection and the variations in the two sets of data, viz., DISE and Post Enumeration Survey (PES) using a structured schedule. I take this opportunity to thank Shri Manoj Jhalani IAS, Commissioner, Rajya Shiksha Kendra, Bhopal for instituting this study and extending financial support to carry out this fruitful academic endeavour in the State of Madhya Pradesh. I am also thankful to Shri Deepak Varma, State DISE In- charge, Rajya Shiksha Kendra, Bhopal for extending all possible support for successfully conducting the PES in four districts of Madhya Pradesh. The dedicated work of my research team (Ms. Preeti Kathuria, Mr. G.K. Rathore, Mr. Ashok Yadav, Mr. Neelesh Ambedkar, Mr. Praveen Gyani and Mr. Rajkumar Gyani) made it possible to complete the work within the stipulated time. I thank them all. I am also thankful to the Headmasters, BRCCs and CRCCs concerned along with district officials for their cooperation during the course of the field work in their respective districts.
