[silk] Fwd: *Hit by headlines*
*Hit by headlines*/- By David McMahon/[Published: 28 August 2006; online search at www.asianage.comhttp://www.asianage.com ]The recent headline on a well-regarded website caught my eye. Europehigh-speed train sees passenger jump. Immediately I felt a pang ofsorrow for the passenger who had tried to commit suicide by jumping from the train.But all was calm, all was bright. No one had died. In fact, no one hadeven jumped, as the headline suggested. The story was about Eurostar,the high speed train service that links Britain to Europe, carrying 27 per cent more passengers than usual.So, despite my concern, the only thing that had in fact jumped was thenumber of passengers.It's a case of there, but for the grace of God, go I. It's the sort of oversight that any sub-editor, or employee of a website, could be guiltyof. Every journalist knows of someone who has written an embarrassingheadline. Yes, some people have the luxury of several minutes during a newspaper shift in which to write a snappy headline that captures thespirit of a story and attracts a reader. But most are writing headlinesunder pressure — and sometimes that pressure means an unintended double entendre will slip through.About 10 years ago, a colleague of mine guffawed as he showed me aheadline in a Sydney paper. But I stared blankly at it. Read thestory, he urged me, between gales of laughter. It was, perish the thought, about a medical professional who had breached strict protocol.The headline said, Doctor palms off his own sperm. I still didn't seewhat my colleague was laughing about until he made some crude gestures with the palm of his right hand.But among the classics I have committed to memory was told to me by anerudite Scot, from whom I learnt much about my craft. He told me aboutone instance that led to the publication of one of the more liberal headlines of all time. A vessel called the King George ran aground offthe British coast and was manoeuvred to safe waters by a couple oftugboats. The headline was: King George pulled off; just two tugs did it. M.J. Akbar, my first editor (and now the editor-in-chief of this paper)has probably forgotten this gem he wrote on a feature for the weeklymagazine Sunday, where I began my own career in journalism. It was a story about the rise in venereal disease and Akbar, without batting aneyelid, twisted the classic line veni, vidi, vici (Latin for I came,I saw, I conquered) to write the headline Veni, vici, VD. Two of the better-known contemporary headlines came from British papers.When Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger became the new Pope, one banner headline,taking into account the fact that the Pope is known as the Holy Father, was Papa Ratzy. And when Paul McCartney recently became a fatheragain, in his 60s, we were treated to: Sergeant Papa.Everyone's heard of the old classic from World War II, as the Allies pushed forward and the Germans began to retreat. It said British pushbottles up German rear. Hmmm, yes, the sub-editor who wrote thatheadline either didn't realise the mental picture it conjured up — or had a wicked sense of humour.Another well-known headline from that era was written for a story aboutGeneral Douglas MacArthur being flown back to the thick of the action:MacArthur flies back to front. Convenience is everything in headline-writing. That is why MarkPhilippoussis, finalist in two grand slams, the US Open and Wimbledon,was immediately christened Scud when he first exploded on the tennis scene. Why, you ask? Because the word Scud is so much easier to fit ina headline than his given name.Another handy device is the word over, a short, handy substitute forthe phrase because of. Last week, a geography teacher in the United States faced disciplinary action over the presence of foreign flags inhis classroom. The issue produced the headline, Geography teachersuspended over foreign flags. If you read that literally, you'd have to hope he didn't slip and get impaled on a flagpole.Some months ago, someone forwarded an email to me with a list ofheadlines that can be readily found on the Internet. It's a classiclist. Typhoon Rips through Cemetery; Hundreds Dead, Stolen Painting Found by Tree, British Left Waffles on Falkland Islands, IncludeYour Children When Baking Cookies, Police Begin Campaign to Run DownJaywalkers, Drunks Get Nine Months in Violin Case, Iraqi Head Seeks Arms, Is There a Ring of Debris around Uranus?, Red Tape Holds UpNew Bridges, New Study of Obesity Looks for Larger Test Group andPanda Mating Fails; Veterinarian Takes Over. The paper I work for, a News Ltd. publication called mX, which ispublished in Sydney and Melbourne, is a treasure trove for above-averageheadlines. When a sunken vessel had haemorrhaged 20,000 litres of diesel fuel, the story had the headline, 20,000 leaks under the sea. When thePirates of the Caribbean sequel dominated the box office as US oilprices surpassed the psychological barrier of $3 a gallon, the headline was, Studio gets many miles to the

[silk] [Fwd: Ranthambhore-Volunteers Needed]
I figured the wildlife/photgrpahy enthusiasts might be interested. Aditya (whose request I'm fwd-ing around) is a brilliant photographer, and a very good tracker. He helps run a lot of anti-poaching efforts in and around Ranthambhor. His wife and he run a resort called Ranthambhor Bagh (ranthambhorbagh.com) Savita Original Message Subject:[wildlifeindia] Ranthambhore - Looking for volunteers and funds Date: Fri, 16 Jun 2006 14:06:56 + From: Aditya Singh [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The three month of monsoons from July till the end of September are the most crucial for tigers of Ranthambhore. Loads of villagers with their cattle enter the park in the monsoons and the forest department can barely manage to control them. During these months they do not have any staff for routine tiger monitoring work. The Dy. Field Director - Mr RS Shekhawat - had an idea. He wanted to get togather about 200 - 300 volunteers to help them in tackling the villagers - which involves a lot of skirmishes and some of them could get pretty rough. He was also looking at setting up of a mess to feed the guards and the volunteers so that they do not end up spending 3-4 crucial daylight hours cooking food. He had long discussion about this with a lot of people including me. One of the things that I suggested to him was to get volunteers to man the forest chokis (guard posts) and do the routine wildlife monitoring work so that their guards could be freed from this task. That way they will end up with more guards who can tackle the grazers, while their routine patrolling work would go on. He thought that it was a great idea and has agreed to it. So this is what we are looking at: Get 2 volunteers each in 10 different chowkis for a minimum period of 15 days (from begenning of July to end of September) to act as wildlife beat guards. They would have to go on two beat patrols every day (in the mornings and evenings - on foot) and give a daily report. The kind of volunteers that we want should be physically and mentally tough [I guess that rules me out :)], will have to live in the chowkis (where the facilities are very basic - no electricity, bathrooms etc), pay for their own food (less than Rs 100 a day) and transportation to and fro Ranthambhore and willing to walk a lot. What the volunteers will get is a mind blowing experience of living in Ranthambhore when it is closed to all visitors and the satisfaction of having done their part for the tigers. It wil be a very intense wild life experience for the volunteers. ARE YOU READY FOR IT. IF YOU ARE WRITE TO ME WITH ALL YOUR DETAILS The Dy. Field Director has another great idea. he is looking at hiring about 70 - 100 tough people from the local villages to stop the grazers. he would have to pay them the minimum wages and feed them. If all the above is implemented - it would be fantastic for Ranthamhore. The problems that we are facing in trying to make it work are: 1. The Forest Department has no funds. To make all the above happen a Royal sum of Rs 750,000 is needed. Four resorts here (including us) have made a committment of Rs 50,000 each and another one will also do the same. But we are still short of Rs 500,000. If you or anyone you know might want to pitch in with some money - do get in touch with me. 2. They need about 120 volunteers to man the chowkis and act as beat guards (this is assuming that we need 2 persons each for 10 chowkis and assuming that each volunteer will spend 15 days here). Of course we have volunteers like me and Dharmendra Khandal who will probably spend over 2 months inside.

My old theatre club from Ahmedabad - Darpan, were in the ten finalists for the INT this season...I had scripted the production and here is the news: Best original script - Nishant Shah, One Night, No Stand. Best stage design - Devaki Dave, One Night, No Stand. Best ensemble cast - Darpan, One Night, No Stand. Best play, second runner up - One Night, No Stand. Director - Arpita Sanghvi; Producer - Darpana Academy of performing arts. So there it is. The news. I am on a nice high right now. also coming back to ahmedabad and home cooked food helps. hope everybody is doing good cheers and thrills and so on nishant -- Nishant says Tell me something about yourself. Go ahead...tell all
Re: [silk] Meet meet - Bangalore
Depends on what you mean by 'hurt'. Dr Gautam Kodiakal - at Mallaya, and a clinic. Dunno the address of the clinic,sorry! Dr Srinivas at Chaya Nursing Home, 8th cross, Malleshwaram. He has a clinic as well. Dr Thomas Chandy and his assistants (who vary) at HOSMAT are very good. (tho HOSMAST by itself sucks) There another doc who is very good at treating carpel tunnel and stuff like that, but I cant locate his website.

Since it's a weekend, I need to rework the seating arrangements to accommodate any more than 7-8 people. 7 PM is OK for me, but given traffic conditions in our wonderful city, it may be a bit optimistic. ;) (Oh, and advance notice of any food allergies will be very useful. For instance, Cheeni is allergic to all meat products.)

Or even just docents/tour guides--Lal Bagh is a first rate example of how history suffers. Couldn't the city hire tour guides, give them a solid drumming in the the history and ecology of the place? People are not as uninterested as one would think. An architecture student we spoke to in Bangalore said she knew more about Hyde Park than Lalbagh and had never bothered to even ask Not disagreeing. Just FYI: there are guided tours of Lal Bagh (and Victorian Bangalore) now. Of course, not done by 'city guides', but its a start nevertheless. www.bangalorewalks.com The Lal Bagh one is conducted by a horticulturist of sorts, so theres a mix of ecology and history. Savita
