Massive Biometric Project Gives Millions of Indians an ID | Magazine In India, hundreds of millions of impoverished people have no ID—which means no bank account, credit, insurance, or government aid.Photo: Jonathan Torgovnik; Fingerprints: Getty The courtyard, just off a busy street in a Delhi slum called Mongolpuri, is buzzing with people—men in plastic sandals arguing with one another, women in saris holding babies on their hips, skinny young guys chattering on cheap cell phones. New arrivals take up positions at the end of a long queue leading to the gated entry of a low cement building. Every so often, a worker opens the gate briefly and people elbow their way inside onto a dimly lit stairway, four or five on each step. After a long wait, a lean woman in a sequined red sari, three children in tow, has finally made it to the head of the line. A neatly dressed middle-aged man leads the children to a nearby table, and a brisk young woman in a green skirt sits Kiran down at another. Now, for the first time, her government is taking note of her.

Psyche and Eros The Story of Psyche and Eros Dr. C. George Boeree The so-called psyche or butterfly is generated from caterpillars which grow on green leaves, chiefly leaves of theraphanus, which some call crambe or cabbage. Psyche was one of three sisters, princesses in a Grecian kingdom. Always obedient, Eros flew down to earth with two vials of potions. Sure enough, Psyche, although still beautiful, could find no husband. Surrendering to the inevitable, she headed for the mountain. After some time, she grew lonely for her family, and she asked to be allowed to have her sisters for a visit. Her sisters convinced her this was best, so the next time her husband came to visit her, she had a lamp and a knife ready. When she awoke, the palace had disappeared, and she found herself in a field near her old home. The first was a matter of sorting a huge pile of mixed grains into separate piles. Psyche's next task was to go into hell to ask Persephone, wife of Hades, for a box of magic makeup.
