 Thought for the day    TM Sakaki
> 
> The world surrounding us has 
definitely been changing in an amazing manner.
> For instance, global 
warming, a world-widely addressed issue, brings us
> unexpectedly abnormal 
weather in these days, which we can not help realizing
> the issue closer 
to us.
> 
> Such the changes can not be limited to nature. Human 
world nowadays involves
> incredible incidents. It was on April 16 on the 
Virginia Tech campus in the
> US. Cho, a Korean immigrant killed 32 people 
and wounded many more before
> committing suicide, making it the deadliest 
shooting in modern US history.
> Most of you clearly remember the 
incident.
> 
> In Japan, a 17-year-old teenager was arrested on 
suspicion of killing and
> beheading his mother in Fukushima prefecture. 
The teen showed up at a local
> police station with the dismembered head 
of his mother and said that he
> killed his mother and beheaded during the 
night while she slept
> 
> What kind of world are we living?
> 
> I found in the latest TM magazine that there exist Speechcraft programs 
to
> inmates in the Livingston Country Jail supported by the Wine Country 
TMs in
> nearby Bath, NY. Terry Bilancio, DTM supporting the programs 
commented that
> "Some of the inmates taking the programs, had obviously 
not had the
> experience of speaking in front of groups and start to 
experience the
> positive benefits of getting up in front of people and 
speaking, and the
> self-esteem that comes by being successful when 
communicating in a group".
> 
> I think this is something.
