GESForum : @UNESCO's Director General,... Universal credit: guaranteed to fail? While we should take our hats off to Iain Duncan Smith for his thorough analysis of social welfare problems, he has been duped when it comes to delivering the solution, the universal credit. Duncan Smith has been persuaded that delivery of this big IT scheme won't fail as others have done. The need to successfully build a large-scale computer system is the first of two fundamental weaknesses in the plan for delivering the universal credit. As Robin Gauld and Shaun Goldfinch point out in their book Dangerous Enthusiasms – employing a veritable tsunami of evidence – the vast majority of large-scale computer systems fail. The IT companies say that this time things will be OK because the systems will be "agile". Agile – the building of computer systems in an iterative, "live" way – is merely to do the wrong thing faster. Using computers to deliver universal credit will amount to an attempt to codify, in rules, the eligibility and entitlements for claimants.

In English, there are three basic tenses: present, past, and future.
Each has a perfect form, indicating completed action; each has a progressive form, indicating ongoing action; and each has a perfect progressive form, indicating ongoing action that will be completed at some definite time. Here is a list of examples of these tenses and their definitions: Simple Forms Present Tense Present tense expresses an unchanging, repeated, or reoccurring action or situation that exists only now. Past Tense Past tense expresses an action or situation that was started and finished in the past. Future Tense Future tense expresses an action or situation that will occur in the future.

The surgeon is going to perform the first bypass in Minnesota. We can also use the present tense form with an adverb or adverbial phrase to show future time. The president speaks tomorrow. La Educasion esta Vien. An Open Letter to Greg Mankiw. The following letter was sent to Greg Mankiw by the organizers of today’s Economics 10 walkout.
Wednesday November 2, 2011 Dear Professor Mankiw— Today, we are walking out of your class, Economics 10, in order to express our discontent with the bias inherent in this introductory economics course. We are deeply concerned about the way that this bias affects students, the University, and our greater society. As Harvard undergraduates, we enrolled in Economics 10 hoping to gain a broad and introductory foundation of economic theory that would assist us in our various intellectual pursuits and diverse disciplines, which range from Economics, to Government, to Environmental Sciences and Public Policy, and beyond. A legitimate academic study of economics must include a critical discussion of both the benefits and flaws of different economic simplifying models.
Harvard graduates play major roles in the financial institutions and in shaping public policy around the world. Máxima indignación en Harvard: Los alumnos de la cátedra de Introducción a la Economía de la Universidad Harvard exigen nuevas perspectivas académicas. Un un hecho insólito, digno de ser incluido en la saga de “Aunque usted no lo crea”de Ripley, el pasado 02.11.2011, un grupo de estudiantes de economía tomó la decisión de retirarse en bloque de la cátedra de Introducción a la Economía de la Universidad Harvard, en protesta por el contenido y el enfoque desde el cual se imparte esta materia.
¿Qué hay de asombroso en este hecho?. En primera lugar, la protesta tuvo como destinatario directo al conocido economista Gregory Mankiw, ex asesor del Presidente George W. Freedom Of Press In Latin America. Leading Latin American journalists — including past and present Nieman Fellows — gathered at Harvard on Nov. 18 for a one-day conference that took a close look at press freedom in Latin America.
The speakers discussed the difficult challenges many journalists face in their countries, including the killings of colleagues, abductions, intimidation, pressure from government officials or from powerful media moguls, and the absence of legal protection and press freedom laws. They also presented innovative solutions to some problems, including how online news magazines can make a difference. This event was co-sponsored by the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at HKSG, the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies, and the Nieman Foundation for Journalism.
