Getting Disability For Radiculopathy
technology is for everyone, including grandmothers illiterate
"Where is it written that because you can not read and write can not be an engineer, architect or dentist? These are just myths that we have in mind. And at the Barefoot College smashed them. " He says with her smile bright, but Bunker Roy not joking when, in one of the busiest conference Genoa Science Festival, which closes its this weekend and you can see stream WiredTv , explains what it means to demystify the technology. That's what I try to do since 1972, when Tilonia in the Indian state of Rajasthan, founded the Barefoot College , where the illiterate rural villages in India learn to build photovoltaic systems.
But illiteracy is not seriously hampering the development?
"Not at all. Tilonia At the center we report the knowledge, techniques, knowledge gained in rural communities over the centuries, often have simple solutions and still applicable today, as in stormwater management. We're doing it in a extensive network of schools, not just in India. " But
assemble and maintain PV systems in operation is another thing ...
"The Barefoot College educate virtually all women, even now we are focusing on all grandmothers. The training lasts six months to use sign language to communicate and hands-on approach. Of course when they arrive they are afraid, do not know what a drag, a printed circuit, a diode, but in six months are able to identify all these parts and install and repair solar thermal systems. The advantage over a recent graduate, who quit five years the whole theory of education, is that they learn things making them. "
But because their grandmothers?
" Because they have no desire to leave the village to finish maybe in a slum in Mumbai, as do men. Here's why you do not receive a certificate at the end of the course: if we did, those who receive it would seek work in cities because have a piece of paper in his hand. Remain living in the villages is not a humiliation, we have reversed the trend, and today thousands of people decide to stay because we gave them a job, self-esteem and respect for others. Technical knowledge is important for self-sufficiency of people, but school education can change society. Literacy is important. Since we brought electricity to the villages, started night school for children who must work during the day with families in the camps. But the method of Barefoot College, which focuses on women, has revolutionized the relationship between the sexes: women who are returning from a course are more confident.
And when the electricity in a village, the birth rate drops, so you can do more things at night instead of conceiving children burst.
And the information age has arrived in Tilonia?
"Sure , our 30 computers are powered even those, like all of the Barefoot College, with solar energy. The PCs are essential for the efficient management and use of data, and illiterate women learn to work as do the solar panels. So when they return to their villages, in Asia and Africa, are ready to revolutionize the lives of thousands of families. "

A.p. Biology Lab 6 Help
smiles and charts
In this world that loves the competition thought, indeed were (and still are) convinced that not everything must necessarily be bound to end in a ranking. And that, on certain issues, the medals are not made of precious metals, but of smiles, love, hope and excitement married to the future. Try to imagine doing a ranking of the loves of a life or perhaps, in large families, what are the favorite sons. Or make yourself a coffee table to choose whether to award the gold medal with mom or dad. Impossible. At least: it is for us. The same applies for the job, especially when this requires quality rather than quantity. Adoption is one of those cases where the classifications - especially if quantitative - give us chills, and not for pleasure. Certainly not to shame in the face of numbers that speak of adoptions completed by Mehala 7 in 2010 against nearly 200 other (more) entities (entity) who (has) instead chose to emphasize with pride that their (his) record (Congratulations). Sorry for the authors of the list, maybe good for the Fiat assembly line, but here we are proud of the 7 Mehala adoptions completed last year. And not because they are many or few, but because they all have a story, a path, a dream come true, because sweat travels are won over with love and toil and travel that we shared together with "our" families. Here we a dream never come, one day, to cheer for a goal other than the smile of a child.

Coleman Bayside Elite
The Kill A Mockingbird
Gambirasio Yara is a girl of 13 years which has been denied the opportunity to address that tumultuous period of life called "adolescence", that opens the door to the adult world, to launch a intense and complex work of building whether by those who, until yesterday, had children and suddenly no longer are. And the pain of the parents of Yara can not engage in a very emphatic that we all have children and grandchildren and know what uphill battle takes place daily between instinct the full protection of our puppies and the rational knowledge that, to encourage their growth and independence, we must let them go. How many times the mother Yara will arise the question: "and if I had not sent alone to return to her friends that tape recorder?"
How many times will want to be able to charge back the clock of time and return three months ago to redraw the day when the daughter left home never to return again?
And how many times we too, along with you, we will be tempted to lock up our children in the home of a protected niche in which we think that evil can never enter, to accompany them for ever, holding their hands peering and the watchful eyes of the dangers that surround them, to live in place to ensure their full immunity from any form of suffering?
The dramatic story of Yara offers us, in his tragedy, the possibility of food for thought about our role alongside children and young grandchildren. This role must not be less in terms of presence, dialogue, reference ... but that requires our ability not to "clip the wings", "deny freedom", "replace them", even if in good faith, even whether to protect. The fear of living can not be the deterrent that removes all of the risks that we run and the painful events that all we face.
Yara's story, as told to our children and grandchildren should help them to become aware, probably more cautious, alert, able to manage their relationships and their relationships.
should not teach them the fear, the distrust of the other self, the anxiety in facing the responsibility for the growth ... .. In the society in which they live and will live there, it is true, the orcs from which it is right know how to defend themselves, but there is also love, solidarity, friendship, sharing and joy. If you do not teach them all this. ... Life would be very little. Olivia
