Every inter-county team carries a well-staffed backroom these days. Depending on who you talk to, Tipperary have well over two dozen people beavering away behind the scenes, for instance. Michael Moynihan identified some of the job descriptions which go beyond maor uisce . .. Humidor maintenance Everyone knows how picky hurlers are about their weapons of choice, and this seldom-identified backroom member has a very specific task. This person maintains the ambient temperature, atmospheric moisture content, and relative angle of repose of the team hurleys in a specialised container, one adapted from the traditional cigar-carrying instrument. The model used by most teams is based on the Montecristo Cigar Caddy, we understand, and can be seen after games being manhandled onto the team bus like a particularly awkward coffin. Hurley calligrapher All those sticks at the side of the pitch are primed and ready when someone makes smithereens of his hurley in a full-blooded clash. This pe

Ludhiana: Adarsh Public School organised an English and Hindi calligraphy competition to improve Presentation skills and inculcate the habit of good handwriting among its students. Around 60 students of Class VI to IX participated in this event. Principal said handwriting skills reflect the personality of a person and such competitions taught students about the unique structure and beauty of languages. Industrial visit organised A visit to Ludhiana beverages Private Limited unit II, Jaspalon Doraha, was organised by Ryan entrepreneur club. The visit provided a first-hand experience to students and they got to see the automatic execution of the various operations of the beverages making, right from sugar syrup making to ready syrup formation, to mixing with the concentrate and dilution to bottling. The concept of corporate social responsibility was also explained to them. This gave students an industrial exposure which would inspire them to consider entrepreneurship as another scop

DENVER — You may want to hold off before sending a handwritten note to your grandchild. That’s because a growing number of young people can no longer read cursive. Since the U.S. adopted Common Core standards in public schools back in 2010, cursive has declined and even disappeared entirely in some school districts. But, is erasing cursive to the detriment of future generations? Let’s begin with keeping cursive alive – in the home studio of Srujana Nimmagadda, owner of Menakshee Designs. “Learning to write well is something that you’re never going to regret,” said Srujana Nimmagadda, owner of Menakshee Designs. During the day, she works at Bel Aerospace as an engineer. But she also practices the art of calligraphy. For her, it’s not a cloudy issue at all; good handwriting has value. “I think there’s just a different sort of connection that you have receiving a hand-written letter,” Nimmagadda said. And she argues there’s a

A man practises khat calligraphy in Balik Pulau, Penang. — Picture by Sayuti Zainudin COMMENTARY, Aug 14 — The vehement protests over the introduction of khat in national schools next year has put a mirror up to groups insisting it will lead to the Islamisation of non-Muslims. I am not sure where those protesting the policy using such claims reside but here in Malaysia, Islam has been front and centre for as long as I remember. In school, I had to sit in on Islamic Studies lessons because nobody bothered enough about Moral Education to assign us a teacher and we weren’t trusted enough to be left alone to our own devices. I went through enough of these that I could recite basic Muslim prayers and greetings (if I were legally allowed to do so) yet I remain just as agnostic as ever. In my previous work, most events I covered invariably began with some doa session in which some ustaz would lead Muslims in prayer while the rest of us wondered what refreshments would be on offer.

The six-day exhibition showcasing the works of renowned calligrapher Liu Xitong was a well-received success. Thousands of people visited the exhibit, held in the Publishing Art Hall in Qingdao City, and the media widely reported on it. But Liu made a worrisome observation: throughout the exhibition, several plainclothes policemen were loitering about , mingling with the crowd. A few days after the exhibition ended, Liu was arrested. The home he shared with his wife was ransacked and many of his calligraphy works were confiscated. Some of Liu Xitong’s calligraphy works on display at the exhibition. (Minghui.org) This was just one of the more than 20 times over 16 years that Liu was arrested and detained for practicing Falun Gong , a meditation practice handed down from ancient China that teaches living by the principles of truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance. The Chinese Communist Party initiated a persecution campaign against the practice in 1999 that continues today and

The Education Ministry said the introductory lessons will stay in vernacular schools, but only with the consent of students and each school’s Parent Teacher Association. — AFP pic KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 14 — In a surprise statement, the Ministry of Education announced today that the vernacular schools will only teach the jawi script at a basic level instead of the khat calligraphy. Following a discussion by the Cabinet, the ministry said the introductory lessons will stay in vernacular schools, but only with the consent of students and each school’s Parent Teacher Association (PTA). “In the latest discussion, the Cabinet has decided to keep the previous decision of the Cabinet last week so that the jawi script introduction remains, but this will be implemented only if agreed upon by the PIBG and the parents and students,” the ministry said, using the Malay acronym of the PTA. “Sekolah Kebangsaan will continue as usual,” it added. The ministry also reiterated the Cabin
