It has been my utmost pleasure and honor to serve our community as the President of Bengali Society of Florida (BSF). I welcome you all to this year’s Durga Puja and hope you will have a wonderful two day celebration filled with joy and happiness. The essence of Durga Puja is manifested in the collective display of passions of Bengali spirit. It epitomizes the joy of celebration, the pride in artistic expressions, and supremely, our devotion towards worshiping of the goddess Durga. It is an event to be present and feel the closeness of our community; it is to desire and make a serious effort to sustain and pass on our rich culture to the next generation. The present executive team will be finishing its two year term at the end of this year. We had a successful two year term and I am grateful to each and every member for their enormous support, goodwill and active participation. I wholeheartedly thank my executive team for their constant support and dedication in fulfilling the goals, which we set forth at the beginning of our term. I would like to take this opportunity to reflect on some of the significant accomplishments during our term: Unity: One of our foremost goals was to bring the community together. We tried our best to reach out to every group of Bengalis, young and old, and encouraged everyone to participate in all our events to showcase their talents in our cultural programs. Kids are the future of our community. So our efforts were to continually involve them, through solo and group performances, “sit and draw” and poster competitions and other volunteer activities such as serving food, decoration, and being the program’s Master of Ceremony. A small community like ours can only become stronger if we all stand together as one Bengali community, irrespective of our personal differences. Inclusion: With our tremendous team effort and collective enthusiasm and commitment, we were able to promote inclusion by considering the opinions of our members. We encouraged our members to fully participate and have a say so that everyone’s voices are heard. Transparency: We continued with the individual and corporate sponsorships. Budget cuts were instituted wherever possible without compromising the quality of our events that enabled us to bring good overseas artists and provide free events such as 2012 Holi picnic and Laxmi Puja to our members. In fact, I am happy to say that last year’s Durga Puja had surplus funds of five thousand dollars. We tried our best to effectively manage BSF financial accounts by making sure the accounts are maintained and audited as per our by laws. The success of our organization bodes well not only for the present but also for the future. I would like to thank you once again for the opportunity to work with you and hope we can make BSF even more successful in the coming years. In advance, I congratulate the in-coming committee members. See you all on Laxmi Puja and Kali Puja. Wishing you and yours a very happy Durga Puja and Subho Bijoya!

  • Grand Teton National Park News Release
    National Park Service Grand Teton PO Box 170 U.S. Department of the Interior National Park Moose, Wyoming 83012 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Jackie Skaggs/307.739.3393 January 08, 2010 10-01 Grand Teton National Park News Release Environmental Assessment Available for Public Review on Site Work for Grand Teton National Park Headquarters Rehabilitation Project Grand Teton National Park Superintendent Mary Gibson Scott announced today that the Moose Headquarters Rehabilitation Site Work Environmental Assessment (EA) is now available for public review. This EA will be open to review for 30 days, from January 11 through February 9, 2010. The National Park Service (NPS) proposes to perform site improvements that are designed to enhance visitor services and address employee health and safety deficiencies at Grand Teton National Park’s headquarters area in Moose, Wyoming. The site work would restructure vehicle/pedestrian access points, promote better traffic flow, reduce user-created trails and consolidate pedestrian walkways, and improve way-finding throughout the Moose headquarters complex. The purpose of the proposal is to upgrade and improve conditions in a way that enhances visitors’ experiences while providing a safe, healthy, and functional working/living environment for park employees and their families. The NPS preferred alternative involves the reconfiguration of vehicle and pedestrian traffic within the park administrative area and the Moose river landing access, the removal of several temporary buildings, and restoration work targeted at providing appropriate stormwater management. The proposed improvements are designed to increase visitor and employee safety, refine parking and traffic flow patterns, reduce the built environment, and improve water quality while still preserving the character of the area and protecting natural and cultural resources.

    GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK YOUNGEST RANGE IN THE ROCKIES the town of Moran. Others recognized that dudes winter better than cows and began operating dude ranches. The JY and the Bar BC were established in 1908 and 1912, respectively. By the 1920s, dude ranch- ing made significant contributions to the valley’s economy. At this time some local residents real- ized that scenery and wildlife (especially elk) were valuable resources to be conserved rather than exploited. Evolution of a Dream The birth of present-day Grand Teton National Park involved controversy and a struggle that lasted several decades. Animosity toward expanding governmental control and a perceived loss of individual freedoms fueled anti-park senti- ments in Jackson Hole that nearly derailed estab- lishment of the park. By contrast, Yellowstone National Park benefited from an expedient and near universal agreement for its creation in 1872. The world's first national park took only two years from idea to reality; however Grand Teton National Park evolved through a burdensome process requiring three separate governmental Mt. Moran.

  • The Arts of Science in the Contact Zone: a Satirical Picture
    Sria Chatterjee The Arts of Science in the Contact Zone: A Satirical Picture Abstract This chapter focusses on a print by the artist Gaganendranath Tagore done in 1922, which features the biophysicist Jagadish Chandra Bose and his experiments in plant science. Considering the overlapping networks of art, science, and nationalist politics within a particular sphere in early twentieth-century British India, the chapter explores the connec- tions between human and non-human contact zones as well as questions around religion and science and the politics of colonial knowledge be- tween the metropole and the colony. Keywords Art and Science, Expanded Contact Zone, Plants, Caricature, Nationalism, Politics Chatterjee, Sria. 2021. “The Arts of Science in the Contact Zone: A Satirical Picture.” 181 In Reading Objects in the Contact Zone, edited by Eva-Maria Troelenberg, Kerstin Schankweiler, and Anna Sophia Messner, 181–187. Heidelberg Studies on Transculturality 9. Heidelberg: Heidelberg University Publishing. DOI: https://doi.org/110.17885/heiup.766. c10423 SRIA ChatteRJEE The object I focus on in this short essay is a black and white print by Gaganendranath Tagore (1867–1938) from a portfolio of “satirical pic- tures” published in 1921 by Thacker and Spink titled Reform Screams. While the portfolio serves to establish a context of political feeling and social reform in pre-independence India through satire, the print I have chosen allows for access into a contact zone that is not only geo- graphic but also one that lies between human and non-human worlds (à⏵Expanded Contact Zone). In this image, Gaganendranath depicts the Indian scientist Jagadish Chandra Bose (1858–1937) who pioneered the investigation of radio waves and experiments in plant science.

Utilizing some self-devised equipment he described the existence of nervous system in all varieties of plants. Recent years have seen a renewed interest in this field. Acknowledging Sir Bose’s pioneering work, a new discipline of physiology—Plant Neurobiology has been revived. The paper provides a historical account of this work.

  • Economics Working Papers on Self Selection of the Corrupt Into the Public Sector
    Wor King Papers Economics Working Papers 2015-01 On Self Selection of the Corrupt into the Public Sector Ritwik Banerjee, Tushi Baul, and Tanya Rosenblat On Self Selection of the Corrupt into the Public Sector Ritwik Banerjee∗1, Tushi Baul2, and Tanya Rosenblat3 1Department of Economics and Business, Aarhus University 2Department of Economics, New York University, Abu Dhabi 3School of Information, University of Michigan, USA Abstract Do corrupt people self select themselves in professions where the scope of corruption is high? We conduct a corruption experiment with private sector job aspirants and aspirants of Indian bureaucracy. The game models embezzlement of resources in which “supervisors” evaluate the performance of “workers” and then pay them. We find that aspirant bureaucrats indulge in more corruption than private sector aspirants but the likelihood of being corrupt is same across two sectors. JEL Classification: C91 D73 O12 K42 Keywords: Corruption, Experiments, Bureaucracy 1 Introduction The rich literature on labor market sorting indicates that the dimensions of sorting are indeed numerous - more productive firms employ more productive employees (Abowd et al., 1999), gregarious workers flock towards jobs with higher social interaction (Krueger and Schkade, 2007) and better economic incentives attract better quality (more honest) politicians in Brazil (Ferraz and Finan, 2011). In this paper, we use an experimental corruption game to study if corruption is a potential dimension of sorting. Past studies examining efficacy of food, health, education and employment guarantee programs in developing countries, suggest that enormous amount of public resources end up being embezzled1. Despite this and the fact that embezzlement of public resource causes more loss to welfare than petty corruption (Shleifer and Vishny, 1993), the literature on experimental corruption games has largely focused on petty bribery.

  • Searching for the Greatest Bengali: the BBC and Shifting Identity
    National Identities Vol. 10, No. 2, June 2008, 149Á165 Searching for the greatest Bengali: The BBC and shifting identity categories in South Asia Reece Jones* University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA Drawing on debates generated by the BBC Bengali Language Service’s naming of the greatest Bengali of all time, this article investigates the shifting boundaries between group identity categories in our ‘globalising’ world. First, the con- troversy over the meaning of the term ‘Bengali’, which emerged in contemporary Bangladesh and India in response to the BBC’s list, is investigated. Then writings and speeches of several of the individuals who were honoured as the greatest Bengalis are analysed in order to draw out the multiple ways they approached their own Bengali identities. In the conclusion, it is argued that rather than imagining the end of place-based identity categories through the process of globalisation, it is more useful to conceptualise shifting categories that continue Downloaded By: [Jones, Reece] At: 15:14 29 April 2008 to incorporate a place-based aspect, but in hybrid and contradictory ways. Keywords: categories; ethnicity; nations; globalisation; South Asia In Spring 2004, following the British Broadcasting Company’s naming of Winston Churchill as the greatest Briton of all time, the BBC Bengali Language Service conducted a survey of its twelve million listeners to determine the greatest Bengali of all time (BBC, 2004).1 Respondents were asked to rank their top five choices and in the end more than 100 individuals received votes. The top twenty were announced one per day beginning on 26 March, Bangladesh’s Independence Day, and ending on 15 April, the Bengali New Year’s Day, with the naming of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman as the greatest Bengali of all time.

  • Tagore's School and Methodology: Classrooms Without Walls
    2016 | GITANJALI & BEYOND 1: 83-101 Tagore's School and Methodology: Classrooms Without Walls Thomas B. KANE, Edinburgh Napier University Abstract: This paper argues that Rabindranath Tagore, a very practical man, devel- oped a distinctive and successful educational methodology over the course of his work in educational systems. The paper seeks to show that Tagore drew inspiration and direction from extraordinary times, and ex- traordinary people of those times. The paper establishes the Tagore fami- ly’s place within the ongoing Bengali Renaissance; and to Tagore’s place among remarkable individuals, particularly Jagadish Chandra Bose and Patrick Geddes. The paper looks to the emergence of the poet’s education- al institutions from spiritual and technological viewpoints. An attempt is made to show that Tagore’s educational establishments were methodolog- ically developed, can claim to be part of his poetic legacy; and that telepresence technologies of the twenty-first century might offer good service to those establishments as they continue to evolve.

KANE Tagore’s educational achievements gain perspective when viewed as a consequence of the Bengali Renaissance, which the Tagore family contrib- uted to for three generations. A major aspect of the Bengali renaissance was spiritual: specifically, reconnection with the ancient Vedic and Upani- shadic scriptures. The 32 years, spanning Tagore's life from 30 to 62, saw Tagore integrate his poetic and spiritual sensibilities with an evolving edu- cational methodology.
