The first time Ravi Shankar was arrested, he spoke out against racist policing on National Public Radio and successfully sued the city of New York. The second time, he was incarcerated when his promotion to full professor was finalized. During his ninety-day pretrial confinement at the Hartford Correctional Center--a level 4, high-security urban jail in Connecticut--he met men who shared harrowing and heart-felt stories. The experience taught him about the persistence of structural racism, the limitations of mass media, and the pervasive traumas of twenty-first-century daily life. Shankar's bold and complex self-portrait--and portrait of America--challenges us to rethink our complicity in the criminal justice system and mental health policies that perpetuate inequity and harm. Correctional dives into the inner workings of his mind and heart, framing his unexpected encounters with law and order through the lenses of race, class, privilege, and his bicultural upbringing as the first and only son of South Indian immigrants. Vignettes from his early life set the scene for his spectacular fall and subsequent struggle to come to terms with his own demons. Many of them, it turns out, are also our own.

This transformative collection of the teachings of renowned spiritual leader Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar will help readers find balance, peace, and joy amid the ups and downs of everyday life. Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar has changed the lives of millions of people around the world for the better. Yet many in the West have not been introduced to his profound and practical approach to living a spiritual life. This book is meant to bridge that gap. In June of 1995, Gurudev began a weekly tradition of creating a short talk, often on a subject that was relevant to current events or in response to questions posed by audiences at his international gatherings. What resulted were powerful words of wisdom, accompanied by much celebration, laughter, and lightheartedness. This book is a collection of those transcribed talks, spanning almost a decade. Gurudev's teachings can make a huge difference in how a person lives their life, how they interact with their family, friends, and co-workers, how they understand the spiritual path, and how they walk it. This extraordinary compilation of insights can help readers on their journeys within, to that all-encompassing love, joy, and peace at their cores

Language for a New Century celebrates the artistic and cultural forces flourishing today in the East, bringing together an unprecedented selection of works by South Asian, East Asian, Middle Eastern, and Central Asian poets as well as poets living in the Diaspora. Some poets, such as Bei Dao and Mahmoud Darwish, are acclaimed worldwide, but many more will be new to the reader. The collection includes 400 unique voices political and apolitical, monastic and erotic that represent a wider artistic movement that challenges thousand-year-old traditions, broadening our notion of contemporary literature. Each section of the anthology organized by theme rather than by national affiliation is preceded by a personal essay from the editors that introduces the poetry and exhorts readers to examine their own identities in light of these powerful poems. In an age of violence and terrorism, often predicated by cultural ignorance, this anthology is a bold declaration of shared humanity and devotion to the transformative power of art."

Curriculum is a product - a document, which includes details about goals, objectives, content, teaching techniques, evaluation and assessment of academic resources. Successful curriculum development in a technical institute requires involvement of stakeholders namely students, faculty members, prospective employers and the management or authority of the institute. The interest of different stakeholders varies to a great extent. Although the philosophy and approach towards curriculum development are often the sole responsibility of the educators, to others it is perceived as an instrument to include the interests of the society at large. The main objective of this research is to model the quality issues related to the technical curriculum . This research attempts to consider few methods to model these issues. This would help the curriculum to become more effective by blending concerns of stakeholders like industry, management of the institutes and the internal requirements of students and faculty members of technical institutes.

Pulses are the main part of day to day to main food of the human being. Particularly it makes the main part of the vegetarian food eating people. It provides use full proteins to body. Red gram is one of the important dhal produced in plenty in India. This book deals with the milling operation of red gram. Milling is helps to retain use full nutrients content of the dhal and help to save revenue occurring in processing. Today's engineering and research are more interested in using modern milling technique for red gram dhal there for in this study the performance of CFTRI dhal mill has been tested and evaluated. This book will provide basic and testing information of CFTRI dhal mill. It mentions the different methods used for milling of pulses. It also shows the beneficial features of this mill's use for red gram milling. Chapter one deals with the brief introduction about pulses centered on red gram, recent research work on the milling of pulses and different features of mills used for this study. Chapter two describes about the raw material used for this research, experimental setup, detailed description of CFTRI dhal mill.
