THE UNBEARABLE SAKI By Sandie Byrne Oxford Illustration by Jonathan Bartlett At the age of 15, Noël Coward was staying in an English country house and found a copy of Beasts and Super-Beasts on a table: “I took it up to my bedroom, opened it casually and was unable to go to sleep until I had finished it.”
I had a similar experience at about the same age, and I agree with Coward that H. H. Munro—or “Saki,” the author of the book in question—is among those few writers, inspirational when read at an early age, who definitely retain their magic when revisited decades later. The spellbinding quality of the stories is almost too easy to analyze and looks mawkish when set down in plain words, because Saki’s great gift was being able to write about children and animals.

Which is surprising, considering that most of the stories in this collection are given a very specific setting, small-town Wyoming, and are peopled by a whole host of the quirky and characterful personalities that Proulx specialises in.

There is growing recognition that knowledge management is based on effective communication between people in many different forms.
The most appropriate form of communication will depend upon the individuals and on the subject matter. Rapid development in information and communication technologies (ICTs) capabilities should not overshadow the many traditional approaches to communication used throughout the world every day.

After six years of intensive effort, scientists are reporting development of the first commercially viable nanogenerator, a flexible chip that can use body movements — a finger pinch now en route to a pulse beat in the future — to generate electricity.
Speaking here today at the 241st National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society, they described boosting the device's power output by thousands times and its voltage by 150 times to finally move it out of the lab and toward everyday life. "This development represents a milestone toward producing portable electronics that can be powered by body movements without the use of batteries or electrical outlets," said lead scientist Zhong Lin Wang, Ph.D.
"Our nanogenerators are poised to change lives in the future. Their potential is only limited by one's imagination. " The latest improvements have resulted in a nanogenerator powerful enough to drive commercial liquid-crystal displays, light-emitting diodes and laser diodes.
