Scientology Today: Scientology Volunteer Ministers Helping the Children of Kolkata

Scientology Today: Scientology Volunteer Ministers Helping the Children of Kolkata: "This city is a breeding ground for childhood diseases, and epidemics tear through the slums where children whose immune systems are weakened by malnutrition are much more prone to illness. All too often, parents can't afford medical treatment for their children, even at the low-cost hospitals in the area. So the Volunteer Ministers team up with health care professionals to make free health check ups and medicine available to these youngsters at the Volunteer Ministers Center."

For those of you not following, the Volunteer Ministers tour in India has been has been providing help and care to the thousands throughout the country.

They have established schools, training and delivery centers for the tools and technology covered in the Scientology Handbook and given workshops improving morale and morals throughout the villages with the book The Way To Happiness.


For more about what has transpired over the past year with the tour in India, see the Scientology Volunteer Ministers website or the Volunteer Ministers section of Scientology Today.

With Vista, seeing is believing, says Gates - page 2 | Newsmakers | CNET News.com

With Vista, seeing is believing, says Gates - page 2 | Newsmakers | CNET News.com: "You laid out the vision for where you guys were going with Vista at the Professional Developers Conference in Los Angeles back in 2003. From your perspective, how much of that vision is reflected in the product that is shipping this week?
Gates: We were able to achieve virtually everything we set out to do. We did not change the file system into a database-like approach. That turned out to be a little ahead of its time. With the exception of that, the presentation richness, the security, the organization-type things that we have here. It's very dramatic. Obviously, we will do more in the future, but this is the foundation that will make Windows computing far simpler."

I'm curious to see this database file structure pans out. While file systems as they stand hold some kind of ordered form, the way in which you would make that a database format I'm not entire sure. I could make some guesses and it's actually a pretty good idea.

Looking further, your ability to include multiple hard drives and systems over a network gets in to a whole different realm, increased flexibility in the major weakpoint (indexing - speed) but then may lose in that systems, operating relatively autonomously, may develop a whole new level and realm of dependencies that could add a considerable complexity. The support infrastructure that may need to be built to make this easy to use and truly transparent on a GUI level is pretty scary.

About L. Ron Hubbard

The Scientology Religion: "At this dawning of the twenty-first century, scientific and technological advances have far outdistanced the humanities. Yet while those advances have provided the technology to explore the surface of a planet 200 million miles away, or map the blueprint of a body, they have not solved the human misery that pervades whole countries, nor the scourge of drugs that ruins millions of lives daily. Instead, they have spawned weapons of such magnitude that could destroy the entire planet in moments. And in the midst of all of this, Man's age-old questions go unanswered: Who am I? Where do I come from? And why am I here?"

The whole article is pretty intense. But I'll take up here the topic contained to at least some degree, in that of what has been accomplished by where do we stand.

Technological advance beyond our wildest dreams. How many of those in India are starving, even when India is itself one of the technology premiers of the world?

The more I want to continue on it, the more I want to scoff. Were we to confront who we are, where we came from and what we're doing here, maybe we'd at the least aim and be on target to resolve those things we need to. Do you believe it is out of our grasp to put food in the hands of children in India? How much food is thrown away in America an hour not because you cooked to much, but because "they never buy the whole lot, there's always boxes that just get thrown away."

Australia Bush Fires « Finding Out Everything

Australia Bush Fires « Finding Out Everything:
"Like a bad science fiction novel. But this is happening in Australia, and there is still help needed.
Contact the Scientology Volunteer Ministers Coordinator to see what you can do to help with the relief effort."



I had not seen this picture in a long, long time. It's a bit intense isn't it? Do keep in mind that you can't let this kind of stuff go by the reasonable side of the head. If you smell smoke of the nature of a fire, do something about it. Put it out, sound the alarm, scream there IS a fire and WHERE IT IS. Don't even begin to think it's going to be O.K. when the town gets torched out of the spectator's negligence.

Holiday

Today is the birthday of Human Rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., human rights leader amongst human rights leader. His voice still inspires hundreads today, now 39 years after he passed away.

His forthright intention and purpose along with other humanitarians and human rights fighters laid the path for groups like the Youth For Human Rights International, with it's public service announcements being seen world over and actually inspiring great interestt with much of the planet. And then recent monuments such as the opening of a Church of Scientology right on Otto-Suhr-Allee 30–34 Berlin, Germany - a Church like that opened there is a success for one and all in the view of human rights.
