THE HIMALAYAN BEACON BY BARUN ROY Since New Delhi could offer Bodoland Territorial Council styled Gorkhaland Territorial Council, it would be a good idea to learn about the Bodoland Territorial Council.

The Malay dilemma - (USA)
KUALA LUMPUR, May 15 — Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s voice was barely audible above the background din of chattering guests and a cocktail-bar pianist at the Hilton Hotel in Kuala Lumpur. Anwar — who had rebounded from six years in prison on corruption and sodomy charges to become the best hope for a more democratic, less corrupt Malaysia — speaks softly. He is still under constant surveillance, he said. Sensitive political business has to be handled in other capitals, Jakarta, Bangkok o

2050 and the Coming Race War? - (USA)
August 10, 2009 — prof susurro A white relative of mine always seems to respond to the latest news about hate crimes and/or racially motivated oppression with the same phrase: we need to get it together b/c in the next 50 years we won’t be the majority anymore and if we don’t start acting right, it’s gonna be on.I usually respond by rolling my eyes and pointing to Apartheid where majorities had very little impact on power cemented by racial ideologies, access to sophisticated legal weapons and

What Blair and Geldof didn't see in Ethiopia (a must read) November 28th, 2008 By Thembi Mutch The phone call from a mobile in Ethiopia was vague: did I have resilience, a sense of humour, journalism experience? I was in my English garden at the time, and getting a phone call from the UN in Addis Ababa while I was deadheading the dahlias in the early summer of 2004 was surreal. The previous June I had applied for a public information and media job with the United Nations in Namibia, got i

It’s been a long time since I last updated this! They shut off the internet in our apartment during our last week in Rome. It wasn’t the best timing for me! And since then I haven’t had internet access until now. Umbria was beautiful. We stayed in a villa and they fed us twice every day. I love not spending money on food! There were lilacs everywhere! And oddly, snails. Perugia is a really pretty place. I bet it’s gorgeous in the winter covered in snow. Nothing too important happened

Three Cheers for the Farmerettes: The (Almost Forgotten) Ladies of the Woman' s Land Army of America - (USA)
This blog is just over a year old and yet each month it leads me to a new discovery. For instance I checked my email late last month to discover a link to FruitsofVictory.com, a site promoting journalist Elaine F. Weiss's "Fruits of Victory: The Woman's Land Army of America in the Great War." Already receiving coverage on NPR and in the pages of Smithsonian Magazine, one imagines Weiss will attract more attention as buzz for the book builds.

But if one did turn in and hang a quick right, he or she would see what could soon become the linchpin for bringing wholesome eating to Baltimore City schools.

Do not discount the threat of peak oil Last week, the government published a review of the UK’s energy security situation. In a report commissioned by the prime minister, Malcolm Wicks, the former energy minister, pronounced that “there is no crisis”. His findings were in marked contrast to those of the UK Industry Taskforce on Peak Oil and Energy Security, which concluded last year that the economy faces a clear and present energy-security threat. The taskforce, a group that includes Vir

Toward a Communist Theory on Racism & Liberation - (USA)
Last year, Kasama opened this discussion of a central question of revolution in the U.S.: how to understand the structural basis for racist oppression, the relationship of capitalism and racism, and the relative political backwardness of white people. The discussion started with an appraisal of the work of J. Sakai, an influential contemporary communist thinker on the liberation of people of color in the U.S. The exchange then moved into a look at the “race traitor” school of Ted Allen and Noe

Pest Control - (USA)
Living in a rural area we have an assortment of insect pests. Termites, spiders, ants, and fleas are just a few of the crawly pests we have here on the farm. When we were building the house we had the foundation sprayed for termites. Then there was a pest management follow up schedule. A few years ago we had an awful flea problem. We have sandy soil and pets. It seems fleas love dry sandy soil. We had to call for another pest control treatment to spray inside and outside of the house. I though

Rob Smart: Seeing Through the Food Industry's "Personal Responsibility" Smoke Screen - (USA)
I grew up in a home where family meals were the norm. Nearly every night, nine of us would crowd around the kitchen table to enjoy a home-cooked meal together, recount our days, laugh and argue, celebrating each unique personality's contribution to the whole. Each meal made the fabric of our family stronger. Those experiences have stayed with me as I've grown and started a family of my own, where I happily continue the tradition of sitting down together nightly to share a meal and exchange stori

Justine Larbalestier has written several books. I have seen all of them at my local B&N where I spend most of my free time. Considering the fact that until just a few weeks ago, books with any kind of POC on the cover in the YA section were rarer than 10 carat diamond chunks, I didn’t get around to picking her books up. After all according to the covers, they were just another set of stories featuring white teens getting to do fun things or experience life in many and diverse ways, right? Pl

Absolute Vanilla mentioned about the movie “Stealing beauty” on her tag , and made me curious about it so about a week back I watched the movie. I was kind of fascinated by an idea in the movie, and it has occupied my brain for a large amount of its sane hours. This was not the main idea of the movie, nor did come across as the point of it, but it is the best thing I took out of the movie. I don’t know what people call it, or how it should be addressed. I call it “community living”. This
