Weekend Post/ Song

The Battle That Led to the Writing of "The Star Spangled Banner"

For those who need a refresher in the history surrounding the anthem, it was written during the war of 1812, a particularly brutal and nasty conflict with the British. The capital building, the treasury building and the president's mansion in Washington had already been burned down, and the British were intent on capturing the Port of Baltimore, which was being protected, in part, by Fort McHenry, a bit to the south.

On September 7th, 1814, two men went out to one of the British ships, intending to try to negotiate the release of a third man, a doctor by the name of William Beanes, who had been captured during the attack on Washington. The two would-be rescuers were Colonel John Skinner, and our esteemed Frances Scott key, who was a lawyer and a sometimes poet. Doctor Barnes was a friend of Key's, and by showing the British some letters from wounded British officers who praised the care they had received from Dr. Beanes, the two were successful in getting the British to agree to the release.

However, in the process, the three men had learned way too much about the planned attack on Baltimore, and so were forced to remain on board the ship until the battle was over, which was not to commence until six days later.

Weekend Post. Customs

Customs of Indians : Languages in India

The different states of India have different official languages, some of them not recognized by the central government. Some states have more then one official language. Bihar in east India has three official languages - Hindi, Urdu and Bengali - which are all recognized by the central government. But Sikkim, also in east India, has four official languages of which only Nepali is recognized by the central government. Besides the languages officially recognized by central or state governments, there are other languages which don't have this recognition and their speakers are running political struggles to get this recognition. Central government decided that Hindi was to be the official language of India and therefore it also has the status of official language in the states.





Indian Society & Culture

Hierarchy

. The influences of Hinduism and the tradition of the caste system have created a culture that emphasizes established hierarchical relationships.
. Indians are always conscious of social order and their status relative to other people, be they family, friends, or strangers.
. All relationships involve hierarchies. In schools, teachers are called gurus and are viewed as the source of all knowledge. The patriarch, usually the father, is considered the leader of the family. The boss is seen as the source of ultimate responsibility in business. Every relationship has a clear- cut hierarchy that must be observed for the social order to be maintained.

The Role of the Family

. People typically define themselves by the groups to which they belong rather than by their status as individuals. Someone is deemed to be affiliated to a specific state, region, city, family, career path, religion, etc.
. This group orientation stems from the close personal ties Indians maintain with their family, including the extended family.
. The extended family creates a myriad of interrelationships, rules, and structures. Along with these mutual obligations comes a deep-rooted trust among relatives.

Weekend Post / Wacky Web Tale

Burp!
Meagan had everything a(n) dog could ask for. He had cocky food, a big, gorgeous bed, and the Cesar family to look after him.

One morning Meagan woke up. “I'm hungry!” he said. He went down to the Bedroom but everyone in the Cesar family was still asleep. “I guess I'll have to find my own breakfast,” he said.

Meagan went outside and danced down the street. On the sidewalk, he saw a(n) beautiful book. “Gulp!” Down went the book. “Not bad!” said Meagan.

Next, Meagan headed for the park. There he found a pair of teachers just sitting on a bench. “Gulp! Gulp.” Down went the teachers. “Mmmm, stupid!” said Meagan.

Meagan was feeling very boring as he skipped over to a video store. There he saw some tasty video games. “Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!” Meagan swallowed Halo and Scrabble whole.

“Stop!! It must be time to go home,” said Meagan. He ran back home and up the stairs to his gorgeous bed.

“Breakfast! Time for breakfast, Meagan!” called Mrs. Cesar.

“I don't feel very well,” groaned Meagan. “It must have been those frenchfries I ate for supper last night.” Burp!
