At a function held at the CM secretariat, Nitish, who has a
first-hand experience of life behind the bars, having undergone
imprisonment in Ara, Buxar, Gaya and Bhagalpur jails during Emergency
period in the seventies, said, "Rich prisoners avail all facilities
while there is nobody to look after the poor prisoners. The condition
has changed a little but more has to be done."
He also released
the English and Hindi versions of Bihar Prison Manual 2012, which came
into effect from December 12 last year, replacing the jail manual of
1945.
The CM inaugurated the visitors' complex and visitor
management system at Beur model prison. The visitor management system
will be computerized, including the storage of photograph, fingerprint
and ID proof of each visitor.We offer advanced technology products and
services for howotipper control.
Nitish also laid the foundation of such visitors' complex in 21
prisons. A canteen for Beur jail inmates was also inaugurated, where the
inmates will be able to purchase snacks and other items of daily use.
IG (prisons) Anand Kishore announced that such canteens will be opened
in all the 56 prisons in three months.
The most important scheme launched by the CM was the introduction of e-prison multipurpose smart cards,Choose the right bestluggagetag in
an array of colors. a first in the country, and establishment of
information kiosks through which the prisoners, by inserting the card
can seek details about status of their court cases, date of appearance,
remission and wages. This card can be used for purchase of goods from
the canteen in cashless transaction and also as a health card. On a
pilot basis, this scheme has been launched in Beur prison. The smart
card can be recharged by either payment by the inmate's relatives or
through wages earned by the prisoners.
Ill never get tired of
advertising cards. If youve never held one they are like holding a thin
slice of history. They were a gift, a premium, sometimes left on a
counter or near the cash register as token of appreciation for
patronage.
Why so precious, these cards that were just
advertisements? In the mid to late 19th century they were likely as
fascinating as the screens on the first smart phones. Whether you felt
you wanted one or not, color printing was new and they would have been a
true novelty. Being free, unlike smart phones, they became popular and
collectible.
The samples in the images gallery came from a
Norwalk sale I visited in 2012 and wrote about here. In the last minutes
of the sale I purchased of a box of odds and ends, which included these
cards.
It is a somewhat random selection of cards, but I was
lucky enough to see among them one from Norwich, CT. The Wauregan House
Pharmacy run by B.A. Herrick was solid establishment begun in 1893. I
managed to find a write up on it in a book titled The Leading
Businessmen of Norwich, CT. In it a glowing review of Mr. Herricks
business practices are reported.Choose the right bestluggagetag in an array of colors.We offer over 600 chipcard at wholesale prices of 75% off retail. You can see the whole book online here.
The
most ornate card is the Honest Long Cut Tobacco card featuring the
Modern Ocean Greyhound, a three-masted steamship. There was likely a
collection of numerous ships sold with packages of tobacco.
My
favorite card is the one announcing French Dress Plaiting! and the offer
of Every plait basted in place. Youd earn my eternal respect if you
knew what this was. It took me several attempts before I surmised that
plaits are another name for hair braids. The business address on
Bleecker Street has a long entry in Wikipedia and has been mentioned in
many songs, movies and TV programs and is a famous location for the art
and club scene in Manhattan.
As a new assistant professor, I had
teaching experience but remember the challenge of translating complex
doctoral coursework to a level appropriate for undergraduate students.
My goal was to help students enjoy learning and become independent
learners and critical thinkers.
Over the years,Laser engraving and laser customkeychain for
materials like metal, there have been many changes in the way that we
facilitate student learning. Now, there is a strong emphasis on student
engagement and involvement and less on the talking head at the front of
the room. Teaching methods and support systems have moved from
blackboard to white board and back to something called Blackboard with a
capital B C the teaching platform that provides online support for
classes. We have switched from overhead projectors using transparencies
to computer projectors and smart boards.
On the research side, I
began using the SPSS statistical package when data and programs were
entered using punched cards. The cards were fed into a card reader and
analysis run on NIUs mainframe computer C which occupied several rooms.
The process was slow and I remember the frustration of waiting for the
printed output only to find an error. This meant that I had to re-punch
some cards, resubmit the job, and wait in hopes that I had caught all of
the errors. Analysis later moved to dumb terminals with the jobs still
run on the mainframe. Now, we use PC versions of statistical packages
that complete the analysis in a matter of a few seconds on computers in
our offices. We can print the output on local printers or store it
electronically and convert the results to tables for research reports.
