What would happen if women ruled the world? Everything could change, according to former White House press secretary Dee Dee Myers. Politics would be more collegial. Businesses would be more productive. And communities would be healthier. Empowering women would make the world a better place—not because women are the same as men, but precisely because they are different.
Ten Indians sailed around the world in a yacht, covering 55,000 km in fifteen months and twelve days. The yacht was only 11m long and 3.25 m wide— Trishna. It was the first Indian sailing expedition around the world. All ten, including myself, were army officers from the Corps of Engineers, which is often considered a small navy within the Army. We work in and on water, constructing bridges and ferries and are familiar with crossing lakes, rivers and seas in crafts of different kinds.
Children's World is a magazine founded by K. Shankar Pillai, well known cartoonist, to be a forum for writings by children, budding as well as established authors. The magazine had its beginnings in the Shankar's International Children's Competition, an event conducted by Pillai since 1949. He decided, in January 1968, to publish the entries to the competition in a weekly illustrated periodical. The magazine switched to become a monthly in March 1972. It issues two special issues, in April and in November. The November issue exclusively comprises contributions by children in the age group of 5-16. It is published to coincide with the celebration of Children's Day in India in November.
In the Middles Ages, the edges of one's world could represent different meanings. On the one hand, they might have been situated in far-away regions, mainly in the east and north, that one most often only knew from hearsay and which were inhabited by strange beings: humans with their faces on their chest, without a mouth, or with dog heads. On the other hand, the edges of one s world could just mean the borders of the community where one lived and that one sometimes might not have had the possibility to cross during one s whole life.
