Religious Technology Center: "On October 22, 2006, more than 3,000 Scientologists, friends, local, national and international dignitaries packed Queen Victoria Street in the heart of London for the sensational grand opening of the new home of the UK's oldest Scientology church, the Church of Scientology of London."
It's the grand opening of the Church of Scientology London. Now the keynote address given by

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

The Way To Happiness.

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.
