Lament in Oslo - (USA)
Speech By ELENA BONNER - Jewish wife of the late Andrei Sakharov - before a conference in Oslo . In his invitation to this conference, the president of the forum, Thor Halvorssen, asked me to talk about my life, the suffering I have endured and how I was able to bear it all. But today all that seems to me quite unnecessary. So I will say only a few words about myself. At the age of 14, I was left without my parents. My father was executed, my mother spent 18 years in prison and exi

Brief Thoughts on Gary Dorrien - (USA)
It’s been awhile since I posted in my series of “Brief Thoughts on Contemporary Theological Voices.” These are not intended to be comprehensive studies of particular thinkers, but mere introductions from my very subjective viewpoint–which the reader may do with as she or he wishes. This is separate from my series on theological mentors, on personal heroes, or on major theological dialogue partners. I previously offered Brief Thoughts on Marcus Borg and on N. T. Wright.

Are Your Photos Informative — or Just Eye Candy? - (USA)
Even before my children could read, they recognized restaurants by their logos. My oldest son began to hum “The Simpsons” theme whenever he saw fluffy clouds in the sky. Images are powerful. And this power can be used in any number of ways. The Power — and Limits — of Eye Candy Many professional communicators like to use attractive visuals as a hook for the written or spoken word. Using visuals as “eye candy” can make the audience stop to learn more about the story. Catherine Zet

Energy Dumb Dana Shows His Face - (USA)
Energy Dumb Dana Rohrbacher showed his face on the House floor with a studied effort at willful ignorance a year ago several weeks before Senate Republicans stooped to the lowest forms of obstructionism to avoid having to have a substantive and meaningful debate about Global Warming legislation. Rohrbacher’s speech is worth a few minutes of notice since it is such a studied effort, with strong framing language, of misleading deceptiveness and outright deceit on what might be the most critical

IELTS Reading test: 9 free resources to help you get a better score - (USA)
What do you do to get a higher score in the IELTS Reading test? Increase your speed by reading more texts, that’s right. But not just any texts – there is a certain kind of reading passages you will find in IELTS more often. Many of you were asking me: “What should I read?” and here’s the answer – reading passages in the previous IELTS tests came from the following sources: 1. The Economist – a weekly newspaper focusing on international politics and business news and opinion. 2. The Econom

One State, Two States – Book Review - (USA)
By Jim Miles One State, Two States – Resolving the Israel/Palestine Conflict. Benny Morris. Yale University Press, New Haven, NJ. 2009 This is a rather oily work to deal with, operating under the pretence of academic objectivity that “does not flatter anyone’s prejudices.” And while Benny Morris obviously knows his historical facts, “One State, Two States” reveals more of a prejudice than the original reviewers seemed capable of understanding. The main theme – resolving the Israeli/Palesti

Grand Rounds, Vol. 5.47 - Cost Containment In Healthcare - (USA)
Critics of the Obama health (insurance) reform plan have been formally served notice that they are under observation, and should they be caught making obvious errors in describing the proposed plan - or worse, they are detected emanating piscatorial odors - they are likely to be reported directly to certain concerned individuals at the White House (Hi, Linda!), who will take steps to correct such wrong-thinking. So, as he embarks on this week’s edition of Grand Rounds, DrRich would like to welco

47 People Who Work At Twitter (And What They Do) - (USA)
The shenanigans of the past couple of days on Twitter have provided us with a couple of key pieces of information: one, that Twitter really needs to work on its PR, and two, that the leadership provided by Jack Dorsey (@Jack), Evan Williams (@Ev), Biz Stone (@Biz) and others, certainly in the manner of what they blog and tweet , is perhaps not as good as it might be. Here’s the thing: while these guys are holding the reins, they aren’t the only employees Twitter has. Moreover, while we’re

New Yorker Mag Sued For 10 Million - (USA)
Forbes : In an April 21, 2008, New Yorker story, “Vengeance Is Ours,” Pulitzer Prize-winning geography scholar Jared Diamond describes blood feuds that rage for decades among tribes in the Highlands of New Guinea. Diamond tells the story using a central protagonist: Daniel Wemp, member of the Handa clan, a blood-thirsty warrior bent on avenging his uncle’s death. That quest, writes Diamond, touched off six years of warfare leading to the slaughter of 47 people and the theft of 300 pigs. N

Institution – another part of place - (USA)
For longer than I care to remember, I’ve been working on the Place component of the Ps Framework for chapter 2 of my thesis . This post brings the penultimate section for the Ps component – institution. The last section will be the “lessons from place” section that attempts to draw some lessons from the Place component for the practice of e-learning. Who knows when that will arrive. As with previous parts of the thesis, this is a first draft with only a modicum of re-reading. There are l
