Gandhi was killed on Jan. 30, 1948. Saying His Peace Rare Recording of Speech by Gandhi Landed in Safe, if Unknowing, Hands By Shankar Vedantam Washington Post Staff Writer Tuesday, July 1, 2008 Millions of people around the world think they have heard Mahatma Gandhi speaking in English -- although it was actually Gandhi channeled through the voice of actor Ben Kingsley in the famous 1982 movie by Richard Attenborough. But very few English speakers have heard Gandhi directly. That's because there were only two occasions when he was recorded speaking in English, according to his grandson and biographer Rajmohan Gandhi. One speech, about religious issues, was recorded in the 1930s. The second, especially historic because it was just a few months before Gandhi was assassinated, was made on April 2, 1947. For decades, this second speech has been largely lost to the world. A few years ago, an Italian cellphone company made a commercial using excerpts, and scattered fragments are available on the Internet. Recently, however, the second speech surfaced in -- of all places -- downtown Washington. It had been lovingly preserved for 60 years by John Cosgrove, a former president of the National Press Club. Cosgrove's copy came from Alfred Wagg, a journalist who recorded the speech in New Delhi and produced four 78-rpm LPs that included both Gandhi's voice as well as Wagg's own commentary about the Indian independence leader. Cosgrove discovered the significance of the recording during a chance encounter with Rajmohan Gandhi, when the author came to the Press Club this past spring to promote his new biography. Gandhi's speech -- made with the uneven diction of an elderly man who sounds as though he has lost most of his teeth -- had the same themes he visited over and over throughout his life: the importance of nonviolence, the eradication of the caste system in Hindu society, amity between South Asia's Hindus and Muslims, and a world united against violence and exploitation. "A friend asked yesterday, did I believe in one world?" Gandhi says at one point in the speech. "Of course I believe in World One. And how can I possibly do otherwise? . . . You can redeliver that message now in this age of democracy, in the age of awakening of the poorest of the poor." Gandhi preferred to speak to Indian audiences in their own languages. He regularly used Hindi, although his native tongue was Gujarati. This speech was made to a gathering of Asian leaders, for whom English was a common language. The speech is especially poignant not only because we now know Gandhi had barely 10 months left to live, but also because of something it does not explicitly note. It was made precisely one day after Gandhi had set in motion one of the most audacious political initiatives of his career. On April 1, 1947, Gandhi proposed that Muhammad Ali Jinnah, leader of India's minority Muslim population and ardent champion of the creation of a new state called Pakistan, be installed as the first prime minister of India -- a united India. It was a staggering suggestion, roughly along the lines of Abraham Lincoln inviting Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederate States of America, to be president of the United States of America -- in order to avoid the carnage of the Civil War. Gandhi placed his radical idea before Lord Louis Mountbatten, the last British viceroy of India. Mountbatten was floored, since Gandhi was essentially saying he would ask his own Hindu-dominated Congress Party to relinquish the power that was about to fall into its lap after decades of struggle. Jinnah proved intrigued by the offer, according to an account Mountbatten wrote of the conversation, but Gandhi's colleagues in the Congress Party were horrified. A few days after the speech, they rejected the plan. India was divided and Pakistan born in August 1947, with millions of people killed and displaced during the partition of the subcon

Re: [AI] The Best Way To Effectively Clean LCD Laptop & Monitor Screens
hey thank you i have bben wondering how to clean my lap top screen for the longest whild. - Original Message - From: "ruchir falodiya" To: Sent: Thursday, August 20, 2009 3:41 AM Subject: [AI] The Best Way To Effectively Clean LCD Laptop & Monitor Screens The Best Way To Effectively Clean LCD Laptop & Monitor Screens taken from: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/the-best-way-to-effectively-clean-lcd-laptop-monitor-screens/ Cleaning laptop and LCD monitor screens is different from cleaning the usual CRT screens and requires some additional care and safeguards. A large part of this is because the traditional CRT screen is made up of glass, so it is a lot less prone to scratches from dust particles then your LCD screen. You can follow these steps and guidelines while cleaning your laptop or LCD monitor to keep out of harm’s way and have a sparkling clean screen. Materials you would need • A soft lint free cotton cloth (microfiber cloth works best). • Distilled Water. Isopropyl Alcohol or white vinegar (if there are oil stains) • A bottle (atomizer bottle works best) How to Clean Your LCD Monitor • If it is just dust you are getting rid of, distilled water would be sufficient and you don’t need any other cleansing agent. If there are fingerprints on the screen or some oily stains than the best thing to use is a solution of distilled water and isopropyl alcohol. Note that you should NEVER clean off the screen with a dry cloth. This way the dust particles can easily scratch the surface of the screen. • If you are going to need Isopropyl Alcohol, you should make a solution consisting of equal amounts of distilled water and isopropyl alcohol. • You then need to put this solution (or just distilled water if that is the case) into an atomizer bottle. • Spray the contents of the bottle onto the soft lint free cloth, DO NOT spray directly on the screen, make sure that you are holding the cloth away from laptop when spraying. A damp cloth (or perhaps an edge of cloth) is what we are looking for, we don’t need to soak it in the solution. • Gently wipe the screen with the cloth. Horizontal and vertical movements work best, however if there are areas that need a little extra attention or streaks going along the screen, you can concentrate on the area with some circular movements. What you should not do I have been pointing out the Do’s and the Don’ts all along, and here are some more absolute NO-NO’s: • Never use cleansing agents like window cleaners, soap solutions etc. These contain chemicals that can harm the screen. In particular you should avoid anything that contains the likes of ammonia, acetone, toluene or ethyl alcohol. • Don’t spray directly on the screen. If you can’t find an atomizer bottle, you can pour some liquid onto the cloth just make sure it is not soaking wet. Again do all this away from the laptop • Do not use tissue papers, newspaper or shower towels to clean the screen. You can easily scratch the screen with these. • Don’t use tap water, it always contains some dissolved salts that can harm the screen. • Don’t clean while the laptop/computer is powered on. Turning off not only gives you a nice black screen that lets you see the stains easily, you also avoid the risk of damaging your computer accidentally. • Don’t put too much pressure on the screen while cleaning. Doing so can permanently damage the screen. regards, ruchir. -- As long as forever, i'll stay by your side. i'll be your companion, your friend and your guide. www.ruchir89.wordpress.com To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.

To activate the BCC field just do the following. 1 Press ctrl + n to compose a new message. 2 Then go to view menu by pressing alt + v. 3 Here you will find an option "all headers", just check that option by hitting enter on it. Now you will be able to see the BCC field. HTH. Thanks and regards.
