It’s the quality of silk products crafted all about quantity.” PLUS | WEDNESDAY 7 MAY 2014 3 ‘Power is the future’ It’s a problem acknowledged by Sardar’s sons who toil away alongside their father on the three hand looms in the family’s cramped workshop. While proud of his craft, Sardar’s 32-year-old son Fayaz expects his three young sons will work in the mechanised sector when they come of age. “I want to stay doing this for the rest of my life,” he said as he took a break from operating the intricate system of levers and pulleys. “What they (his children) do will be up to them of course but I am pretty sure they will go electric. The power sector is the future.” According to the Uttar Pradesh state govern- ment, the Varanasi hand-woven silk industry is worth around $80m each year to the local econ- omy, including $20m in exports. Although the exact number of powerlooms is not known, the last official figures in 2009 showed the number had increased in the wider Varanasi region from around 2,000 to 30,000 over the pre- vious decade. Adding to the crisis has been a rise in imports of cheap Chinese-made products and of Chinese yarn which has supplanted Indian-made fabric in much of the country. “Now the Chinese imported weaved thread has become the backbone of Benares industry,” said another local industry boss Ratandeep Agarwal. “The Indian silk is gradually becoming more like an art form, for a selected ‘niche’ audience which can afford it while it is being replaced at the mass market level by the Chinese.” Shop owners say it would be a tragedy if Banarasi silk were allowed to die out but that market forces were against it. Bharat Khemka who runs the Raj Gharana sari emporium in downtown Varanasi said one customer from France recently paid `300,000 (nearly $5,000) for a hand-woven silk scarf but such extravagance is rare. Khemka said factory-made products sometimes lost their shape and colour after only one wash but the huge price difference meant customers were willing to compromise on quality. “The hand made ones are better but then they tend to cost `3,000 when the factory-made ones are `300,” he said. But despite the higher price tag, shoppers say Banarasi silk sarees must not be allowed to become museum pieces. “They are not just famous abroad but are part of our culture,” said Savitri Srivastava who was buying several saris for her daughter’s wedding. “It is considered auspicious to give them as gifts for events such as weddings or festivals.” Hopes pinned on Modi Given the grim prognosis, many in the industry The Indian silk are pinning their hopes on Narendra Modi, the is gradually man expected to win India’s ongoing general elec- tion and who is standing in Varanasi. becoming more Speaking in Varanasi last month, Modi said he was determined to help the weavers. like an art form, “The lives of weavers here can be improved for a selected with steps like branding, technology upgrades and marketing,” he said. ‘niche’ audience “If all these support mechanisms can be put which can afford in place I don’t see any reason why our weavers can’t compete with the Chinese.” it while it is being Arvind Kejriwal, leader of the Aam Aadmi replaced at the anti-corruption party and who is standing against Modi, has also made the weavers’ plight a major mass market level plank of his campaign. by the Chinese.

It's time to get going again. We're about to begin a journey that will take us from the infinitesimal to the infinite, from the dawn of time to the distant future. We'll explore galaxies and suns and worlds, surf the gravity waves of space-time, encounter beings that live in fire and ice, explore the planets of stars that never die, discover atoms as massive as suns and universes smaller than atoms. Cosmos is also a story about us. It's the saga of how wandering bands of hunters and gatherers found their way to the stars, one adventure with many heroes.

This series aims to further our understanding of the origins, dealings, decisions, and outcomes of social movements by fostering dialogue among many traditions of thought, across European nations and across continents. All theoretical perspectives are welcome. Books in the series typically combine theory with empirical research, dealing with various types of mobilization, from neighborhood groups to revolutions. We especially welcome work that synthesizes or compares different approaches to social movements, such as cultural and structural traditions, micro- and macro-social, economic and ideal, or qualitative and quantitative. Books in the series will be published in English. One goal is to encourage non- native speakers to introduce their work to Anglophone audiences. Another is to maximize accessibility: all books will be available in open access within a year after printed publication. Series Editors Jan Willem Duyvendak is professor of Sociology at the University of Amsterdam. James M. Jasper teaches at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.

  • Annual Report Sep 2019
    ANNUAL REPORT SEP 2019 - OCT 2020 INDEX INTRODUCTION INDEX OF EVENTS COMPLETED EVENTS DETAIL COMPLETED LIVE STREAM DETAIL COVID AFFECTED EVENTS DETAIL INDEX OF UPCOMING EVENTS NON PROFIT CULTURAL PARTNERS MAINTENANCE AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS REPORT FINANCIAL REPORT MARKETING REPORT COVID HANDBOOK To City Manager Jimmy Morales, The 19/20 season can be viewed as two distinct segments. The first six months represent major improvements and growth, followed by the sudden public closure and responses to the Covid health crisis. The year began with the renewal of the Rhythm Foundation’s management agreement. Experience and momentum gathered during the first management term were brought to bear and a season of widely diverse cultural offerings was undertaken. Long awaited capital improvements of the canopy covering and new seating system were completed in February. The season was in the middle of the busiest period in mid March when we closed the facility to the public in mid March due to the Covid health crisis. We immediately modified and adapted our operations using live streaming technologies to complete the Rhythm Foundations’s 32nd season. Emergency funding and support from the City, County and Federal government have been critical to sustaining the organization through this prolonged health crisis. We proactively engaged with community partners to identify funding, tech support and best practices for safe operations. Since going virtual in mid-March, we’ve broadcast sixteen (16) full length concerts as live streams to a collective audience of over 100,000 viewers from all over the world. The 20/21 season ahead is anchored by partnerships with the leading cultural presenting organizations in the South Florida, furthering our goal of establishing the North Beach Bandshell as a major performing arts facility in our region.

  • From Footpaths to Freeways
    From Footpaths to Freeways A Survey of Roads and Highways in Minnesota By Joel Katz, P.E., PTOE Minnesota Department of Transportation DEDICATION This book is dedicated to the thousands of Minnesotans — past and present — who have been involved in the planning, design, construction, maintenance, and operation of the roads, streets, and highways of Minnesota, , as well as those who have played essential roles in such areas as financing, administration, research, education, and communications. These are the people who have been employed by the federal, state, and local governments; contractors; consultant firms; and educational institutions who have applied their professional and trade experience in developing a transportation system on which our way of life and economic viability has become so greatly dependent. Some of these employees lost their lives while performing construction, maintenance, and enforcement activities. All have worked diligently, loyally, and professionally — especially in emergency situations.
