First grade has been using their computer class to make stop-motion animation films about community workers. First, each table group was assigned a different community worker: fire fighters, police officers, construction workers, train workers, or airline workers. The students used the computer to draw a backdrop in front of which their animation would be filmed. After story-boarding three different ways the community workers helps in the community, the students collaborated to create stop-motion films. Learn how these community workers do their jobs and help us in the process.

A foreman actually drove by and harassed us for taking pictures. He said we should have asked permission because it is "not allowed." Rock solid logic.
While meeting with a social worker, she asked me if I had ever been abused. I told her that I had been abused when I was a child. I had never told anyone about what happened. The social worker surprised me by asking the question as I was not meeting with her about this occurrence.
I am 48 years old and my abuse happened when I was eight or nine years old – about 40 years ago. Despite my repressing the memory, my body reacted with anger as I revisited the experience.
I was a kid playing at the Boys and Girls Club in the neighborhood of Avondale in Cincinnati, Ohio when a man (I think late teens or early twenties) lured me away to a nearby building where he pulled my pants down and fondled me.
Perhaps my being in Boise, Idaho – far away from Cincinnati – when I spoke with the social worker made me feel more at ease about telling her what had happened to me. Or maybe the fact that no one had ever before asked me the question is why I never opened up about the abuse.
I immediately called the Cincinnati Police after meeting with the social worker, although I had only a faint idea of what the abuser’s name was. An officer in the Cincinnati Police’s Personal Crimes Division told me that the statue of limitations had expired.
She said that if I had forgotten that the abuse occurred and something suddenly triggered the memory of it, they could open an investigation. However because I merely repressed the memory of the abuse, the statue of limitations cannot be extended.
If I had went to the police years earlier, not only would the statue of limitations not had been exceeded, but my memory of the abuser would have been clearer, and perhaps I could have helped to prevent him from abusing other children.

This is the lake that I keep referring to in my pictures of the Indian Pond Heron.
Now to the serious part....
This water body suffers from being present on the edge of the export promotion software park where my office is located. Endless construction activity all around, burgeoning human settlements of construction workers with little or no sanitary facilities and worst of all, legal/illegal reclamation has left it with no hopes for survival. But this would be just a footnote on the saga of forsaken lakes of Bangalore. Where once hundreds of them existed, now only a handful remain and many of those in a miserable state. Lakes are crucial in my city as there is no major river flowing nearby (Cauvery is a neat 100 kms away). Lakes maintain a high ground water table level and a significant part of Bangalore still depends on groundwater for its water requirements. But humans are known to cut their foot off before realizing they cannot walk without them. Terribly sad.

A new cohort of migrant workers is taking over China’s construction sites. Fifteen to 29 year-olds now make up 70 to 80% of the entire floating population. While the older nongmingong (“peasant workers”) retain a nostalgia for the Maoist period, migrant youth have grown up under “capitalism with Chinese characteristics” and their expectations for the future are shaped by the values of the new China. Though today’s youth never knew the state-guaranteed social protections of earlier periods, known as “iron rice bowls”, they are on average better educated than their elders and more able to take advantage of opportunities afforded by the loosening of controls on internal migration. Those of the older generation lack adequate welfare provisions and will most likely never be in a position to retire. By the sheer force of their numbers, migrant youth expected to settle in the cities for the long term will also reshape urban labour markets. The younger migrants are increasingly vocal about their grievances and are regarded by the central government as among those groups with the greatest potential to threaten social stability.
