I recently attended a conference here in Managua, the subject was, among other things, the recent office raids and the threatened expulsions of several international NGOs by the Ortega-led Sandinista government. The attendees were a collection of both Nicaraguans and internationals and the discussion around reasons, reactions, and responses was both interesting and at times, quite inspiring. However, what struck me the most during the conference was something repeated over and over again by the meetings chairperson in her analysis – that if you know something, or learn something new then you have a responsibility to share it with those around you. She was talking specifically about the need to continue questioning the increasingly arbitrary actions of Nicaragua’s current Head of State, but I am sure she would agree that it can be applied to a much broader spectrum of experience. read full story / add a comment

The time to act is now! Green is no longer in champagne activism territory; it has firmly positioned itself in the business mainstream as the next clean engine for economic growth. With rapid strides in technology, economic pressures, high energy prices, resource shortages, environmental threats, and compliance imperatives driving unprecedented growth in green energy, the pressure on scientists, technologists, government, and the industry to develop and adopt new methods for harnessing green energy has never been this overpowering. The first of its kind in India, Green Energy Summit 2009 will provide a unique platform for debate, dialogue and action between research, industry, academia, financial organisations, entrepreneurs and government bodies worldwide. The four tiers of the summit will see a congregation of the most intelligent minds and proactive organisations to create a sustained, result-oriented mindset, bringing into picture those questions that are most relevant for India at this juncture. read full story / add a comment

This article is an invitation for people that may know the answer to the following questions i have in relation to fee paying schools. I understand that the state pays the wages of teachers in fee paying schools while allowing them to also charge those parents who can afford it - fees. My understanding is that this is situation is an historical anomaly based on most fee paying schools being protestant at the creation of the state 90 odd years ago. I was wondering in these times of cut backs , is it true that the state continues with this situation..... read full story / add a comment |
