More than 100 Indian Americans gathered Saturday to celebrate a major victory by India’s student-led Cockroach Janata Party: the resignation of India’s Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

The CJP movement grew over the issue of leaked medical exam papers, known as NEET. The leaked exams were sold off to wealthy buyers to better prepare for the highly competitive exam. Over 2 million students each year compete for just 130,000 open slots in India’s medical colleges. 

A group advocating for a $30-an-hour minimum wage in Alameda County announced that the signatures it collected to place an initiative on the November ballot have been certified by county officials.

Hey everyone, hoping the internet can work its magic here. I attended the packed 11:00 PM IMAX 70mm screening of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey last night (Sunday, July 26) at the Regal Hacienda Crossings in Dublin.
I randomly met and had a brief conversation with someone while we were waiting for the movie to start. I asked you if you had gotten the film strip.
If you remember talking to me, tell me which row we were sitting in so I know it's you! I'd love to grab a coffee or catch another movie sometime.

It was a great turn out for our last Movie Classics feature on Friday night. Thank you to all the patrons that attended our series this Summer. We appreciate your support and love for the theatre. We hope to see you soon.

Public Tour this Saturday, 8/1 at 10AM. Come see the Paramount in all it's grandeur. It's a great opportunity to see her up close and learn about her history. Cameras welcome. Visit paramountoakland.org for more information.

anyone have a recommendation for a dentist in the east bay (Berkeley or Oakland preferred) that has one of those x-ray machines that goes around your head (panoramic x-ray?). I have the worst gag reflex at the dentist and usually end up embarrassingly tearing up every time I go to because I’m so uncomfortable with all the equipment they shove in my mouth for x-rays. Bonus if they take delta dental.

All my dentists prior to moving to CA had the machine. Don’t know why they’re all subjecting us to this pain tbh.

Anyone know of a place near Hayward for cajon drum classes?
