As tumultuous societal changes transform Bangalore, many young middle-class Indians are struggling to cope. Unmoored from home and community, many are taking their problems to the only symbol of authority that is accessible: the police.
A rush of confused young people, squabbling lovers and bickering spouses at the 100-odd police stations in Bangalore has thrust many officers into a role that many never expected when they enlisted. Urban life is transforming India, and young people want to assert their independence. Women are financially stable, and marital equations are changing. Partners’ expectations of each other have moved far beyond traditional roles. A working woman in her early 30s recently walked into his office to complain that her husband was abusive and cruel. Her husband came later and complained that she smoked, drank and partied too much. He insisted that she be a “traditional wife.”
The more serious abuse and domestic violence cases are routed to Vishwas and other services for counseling. Yet young and unhappy people are flooding the police stations with frivolous cases, officers say. Yet, many police officers say they get enormous job satisfaction from helping sort out young people’s lives, said an inspector at an all-female police station in central Bangalore. “People waylay me in public events sometimes, “ she said. “I may not even remember them, and they thanks me for saving their marriage.”
In Syria, Conflict Imperils Historical Treasures Preservationists and archaeologists are warning that fighting in Syria’s commercial capital, Aleppo—the world’s oldest continuously inhabited settlement – threatens to damage irreparably the stunning architectural and cultural legacy left by 5,000 years of civilization. Among the significant archaeological sites endangered is the Temple of the Storm God, which dates from the third to the second millennium B.C. and which Ms. Burnham identified as one of the oldest structures in the world. Never opened to the public, the recently discovered temple and its huge carved reliefs are protected only by sandbags and a flimsy tin roof, she said. Aleppo’s labyrinthine streets reveal a microcosm of human history. Beneath the Citadel are remains of Bronze Age friezes and Roman fortresses, The entire walled Old City , with its 12th-century Great Mosque, thousands of pastel-colored medieval courtyard houses, Arab souks, 17th-century stone madrasas and an Ottoman palace, is recognized as a Word Heritage Site by Unesco, the United Nations cultural arm. At the intersection of ancient trade routes, Aleppo has seen empires rise and fall. The armies of Alexander and Great, Genghis Khan, Tamerlaine and the Muslim general Saladin have both attacked and defended the spot. There is not only a question to Syria; it will be a question for all of us, for the whole world. An urban planner wrote in an e-mail. 自然環境和古蹟保護主義者及考古學家警告,位於敘利亞經濟中心,世界最古老且一直有人居住之地,約有5000年的文明史的阿勒頗,如今面臨建築物無法修復危機,考古學家認為此地最具特色的<風神廟>面臨消失的可能,這座廟建立的年代要追溯到西元前3-2千年前,考古學家布漢小姐且進一步確認,這個建築物是目前世界上最古老的建物之一。此地從未對外開放,最近發現整座廟宇和裡面大量的雕刻居然只是用沙袋保護著,而屋頂則是薄的鐵皮。阿勒頗迷宮似的街道就是整個人類歷史縮影的呈現。在護城城堡的下面仍保留著青銅器時代所有的飾物及羅馬保壘,這座阿勒頗古城的城牆由清教徒,約於於12世紀所建,好幾千間淡色的中世紀的莊園,阿拉伯的露天市場,17世紀所建立的石頭建物的清真學校以及歐圖曼的皇宮,這些都被聯合國世界認定為世界遺產。在古代貿易路線的交會點,阿勒頗見證了它的榮景及衰落。亞歷山大大帝的軍隊、成吉思汗提姆蘭及回教的將軍沙拉定,兩人曾為此地而交戰。一位城市設計家在電子信中指出,這個問題不僅是敘利亞的問題,這是我們的問題,是全世界的問題。
Japan turns to geothermal power Japan has been struggling to find alternative energy resources, since March of last years, when a tsunami created by an earthquake destroyed the Fukushima Daiichi unclear power plant. The country’s 54 unclear reactors were shut down, and only two have resumed operations. Nuclear plants supplied 30 percent of Japan’s electricity, and the shutdown led to a national energy shortage. The Japanese government said it would aim to triple renewable energy sources, including geothermal energy, by 2030. The are now 17 geothermal plants nationwide. In 1974, environmental concerns led to a ban on further development.
Cellphone screen pose problems for marketers
At five centimeters wide and eight millimeters tall, a display ad shown on a smartphone isn’t much of a canvas for a marketer. That’s one reason smartphones are not working well as a medium for many advertisers, who are willing to pay much more to reach a thousand pairs of eyes gazing upon a computer or tablet than a thousand pairs looking at a smartphone screen. Advertisers are also limited by what they can find out about smartphone users. On the Web, publishers typically record users’ actions so advertisers can make an educated guess about their identities and interests. Because a smartphone can not use the same technology, you ability to track and optimize is much more blunt, or in some cases nonexistent. These limitations depress demand for smartphone ads and lead to low prices. That is not a good time to try to make users stop what they are doing and give their attention to an advertiser’s message. Most marketers limit the size of ads on phones “so as not to irritate people.” Phones do have some benefits, like the ability to serve up ads based on location or to integrate ads into apps that are used for something else, mobile display ads give us the least amount of creative opportunity.
Location-based mobile advertising, known as geofencing, is directed only at nearby prospects, and it has proved to work well. Knowing where you are geographically and delivering a contextually relevant offer has been effective in driving conversations and sales. But consumers don’t necessarily want to be reminded that their phones are location-tracking devices for advertisers. A mobile device is one of the most personal forms of technology we have.
The Brave New Man, Acting Like a Woman
Men getting manicures and facials is not longer surprising, and their lotions and tonics are seeing increased sales. But lately they have delved into territory that was once solely for women: waxing. In a post-metrosexual world, men are the new women. Men have also become much more interested in cooking and child-minding, sensitivity and sensuality. But men spend 30 percent less time browsing online than women, viewing fewer pages before purchasing.
