Where we work Practical Action works directly in more than 40 developing countries across the world. We have offices in Kenya, Zimbabwe, Peru, Sudan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh, and our consultancy work extends across Africa, Asia and Latin America.
Our publications, knowledge and approach are used in almost every developing country in the world - extending the reach of our practical approach to tackling poverty. Why we do it Practical Action was founded by radical economist and philosopher E.F. Schumacher over 45 years ago. Mostly famous for his 1973 book ‘Small is Beautiful’, he believed in putting people’s real needs at the heart of development, and that's the guiding principle that informs everything we do today. Practical Action uses low cost, appropriate, small-scale development solutions to help people to help themselves. “Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent.

Sis faculty's Polls. Polyrhythm and the Caribbean. Part One: Introduction David P. Lichtenstein '99, Brown University, Contributing Editor, Caribbean Web Inevitably, the authors of the West Indies have picked up upon the cross-rhythmic nature of their culture. Indeed, they have amplified it in so many different ways in their writing that one could include this quality as a defining characteristic (if such an essentializing process is still possible) of modern West Indian writing.
They have used this polyrhythmic writing both consciously and unconsciously, in pursuit of different political and artistic agendas. Some, like Wilson Harris, have made obvious reference to past roots (Arawaks, etc) in and dragged them into the present to display their influence. Others, such as Derek Walcott, take the differing rhythms of colonizer and colonized and play them off of one another, equalizing their current status while acknowledging the past historical imbalances in power.
The permutations of a basic polyrhythmic structure go on and on. The PLoS Blogs Network | PLoS Blogs Network. Saki ( Hector Hugh Munro ) ~ Short Stories of Saki (H. H.

" White (July 11, 1899 – October 1, 1985),[1] was an American writer.
He was a contributor to The New Yorker magazine and a co-author of the English language style guide, The Elements of Style, which is commonly known as "Strunk & White". He also wrote books for children, including Charlotte's Web, Stuart Little and The Trumpet of the Swan. Charlotte's Web was voted the top children's novel in a 2012 survey of School Library Journal readers, not for the first time.[2] Life[edit] White worked for the United Press (currently the United Press International) and the American Legion News Service in 1921 and 1922, and then became a reporter for The Seattle Times in 1922 and 1923.
A few years later in 1929, White and Angell were married. Most of us, out of a politeness made up of faint curiosity and profound resignation, go out to meet the smiling stranger with a gesture of surrender and a fixed grin, but White has always taken to the fire escape.

Plato's dialogues - Overview of tetralogies. The journey toward our own being The journey through the dialogues constitutes an educational process under the leadership of Plato/Socrates. It doesn't purport to give us ready-made answers, but rather to be the helping hand that wants to free us from our chains and lead us outside the cave, only to have us eventually come back dons in it to help in turn our brethren prisoners build a more palatable city where more people can live more happily (1) .
It thus requires an active participation from us readers, because what we are after is not Plato's truth, but our own truth, our own answers, our own being (2) . Someone else, be it Plato or Socrates, can show us the way , may even at times, like Socrates' daimon, point at wrong directions and stop us before we take them, but nobody can step in our shoes and be ourselves in our place.

Lafferty, winner of the 2002 Cordwainer Smith Rediscovery Award. Why did our jury of Robert Silverberg, Scott Edelman, Gardner Dozois, and John Clute select R. A. Lafferty for the 2002 Rediscovery Award? I speak of an eccentric author who, beginning in 1959—in his 40s, rather late to start a career in science fiction—went on to write more than 200 short stories, which were collected in at least 19 short story collections, and 21 novels. The first three of those novels appeared the same year, 1968—Past Master, The Reefs of Earth, and Space Chantey—the very first of those being nominated for both the Hugo and Nebula Awards. (Read the full text of Scott Edelman's remarks at his website.) Frederick Pohl's Acceptance Speech: "Thank you, Scott.
About R. "My brain reels," moaned Homer the man. This line from Lafferty's "The Hole in the Corner" captures my experience within a few sentences of reading his tall-tale style. A Midwestern Catholic who lived most of his life in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Lafferty was born in 1914, a year after Cordwainer Smith. Okla Hannali. The Future Belongs to the Curious. List Live Events.

As with all texts you'll be studying, it comes down to your ability to detect what effects the text is creating on its reader and to work out why these effects were created - that is, the writer's purpose.
Remember - with media and non-fiction texts, while your focus (because this is an English exam...) must always be on language choices, you'll also be asked to consider visual aspects too, such as design, layout and use of images). In the exam, typically, you'll be asked to analyse a pair of texts that share a common theme. There are four useful 'levels' at which you can consider texts: What the text is about- its subject matter You need to show you have understood the text's subject matter and content. 1. 2. Murray Gell-Mann on the ancestor of language. Reading List: The Beginning of Infinity (Fourmilog: None Dare Call It Reason) Were it possible to communicate with the shades of departed geniuses, I suspect Richard Feynman would be dismayed at the prospect of a distinguished theoretical physicist committing phil-oss-o-phy in public, while Karl Popper would be pumping his fist in exultation and shouting “Yes!”. This is a challenging book and, at almost 500 pages in the print edition, a rather long one, but it is a masterpiece well worthy of the investment in reading it, and then, after an interval to let its implications sink in, reading it again because there is so much here that you're unlikely to appreciate it all in a single reading.
The author attempts nothing less ambitious than a general theory of the creation of knowledge and its implications for the future of the universe. (In what follows, I shall take a different approach than the author in explaining the argument, but I think we arrive at the same place.) Let's consider the concept of universality. A Left-Brained Step-by-Step Writers Workshop...A Day as Your Shoes. Prompt Overview: It's fun to personify articles of clothing as a means of inspiring creative writing from your students, and this mini-workshop has students a) personify their shoes (or socks) on a page in their writer's notebook, b) share their story ideas out loud, and c) follow the step-by-step instructions below to craft a story about life from their shoes' point-of-view. Mentor Texts to Consider Sharing: A good mentor text can inspire ideas and writing skills from students if used skillfully before students draft or revise their own writing.
Below are three "mentor text" suggestions that creatively examine shoes and socks. Start with a Writer's Notebook Page! There's no better way to pre-write than to have students create a fun page in their writer's notebooks. What is your shoe's personality like? (Click on the image of the notebook page to see it in larger form) Above and at left, you see a suggestion for having students partition their notebook pages for this task. Mdiathque - Home. Character_map. Home. The Best Time Travel Stories of All Time. A review by Steven H Silver I looked at the name of Barry N. Malzberg's new anthology, The Best Time Travel Stories of All Time, and thought: What a great title. I opened the book up and was quickly disappointed.
Sure, the stories included are wonderful, but I noticed that all of the stories in the book were published before 1996. Surely a book about time travel purporting to the best of all time should include stories from 2013, 2395 and 3641. While the ideas in Nancy Kress's "The Battle of Long Island" are intriguing, they are blunted by the disassociated voice of the narrator. While Kress's tale of time travel is entirely set in the present, Poul Anderson's time traveler goes back 1000 years in "The Man Who Came Early. " James Tiptree, Jr. provides a rather interesting set of relationship dynamics in "Forever to a Hudson Bay Blanket," in which the time traveling Loolie uses time hopping to meet her true love.
