Thanks to the Barefoot College in Tilonia, India, villagers in Timbuktu, Mali have electricity. Part of a broader international effort, two women from Timbuktu went to India for six months of training and returned to their village in July of 2007. Once all the necessary equipment arrived, the two women spent 7-10 days assembling a system that now provides electricity for villagers, a grand success celebrated by the village.

(Second Entry) So I have been thinking a bit about this Hip-Hop. I have also read a book or two. It was certainly enlightening to learn some of the history; or at least become somewhat aware of it, more than I ever was.
Yet, it seems one can only go so far with books. While there should always be room for the rigors of academic research, the intuition in experience and observation is unique. I have heard people say that participation (in an event) yields a better perspective for reflection. The conclusion of such a reflection can then be bolstered by the libraries. Balance.

The Known Universe takes viewers from the Himalayas through our atmosphere and the inky black of space to the afterglow of the Big Bang. Every star, planet, and quasar seen in the film is possible because of the world's most complete four-dimensional map of the universe, the Digital Universe Atlas that is maintained and updated by astrophysicists at the American Museum of Natural History. The new film, created by the Museum, is part of an exhibition, Visions of the Cosmos: From the Milky Ocean to an Evolving Universe, at the Rubin Museum of Art in Manhattan through May 2010. How small we are could be a matter of perspective. FTP Consultancy APOSTROPHES AND QUOTATION MARKS 03/02/2010
While this article is written from a designer's angle, a writer can still learn a thing or two. Via Presentation Zen FTP Consultancy --  Via Presentation Zen Sometimes a mistake occurs so regularly that many people stop to even notice. One such error is the backward apostrophe. This is admittedly a small thing, but it's one of those little things we need to get right, like remembering not to put two spaces after a period (unless using a monospaced typeface). Believe it or not, there is an entire website dedicated to showcasing apostrophe abuse on a near daily basis. Most of the examples featured on the website show signs and other displays with words containing an apostrophe where an apostrophe is not needed, but there are many examples of the apostrophe in the right place but used backwards. First, you need to put the apostrophe in the right place. One of the most common mistakes is something like this: CD's came out in the 80's. This should read CDs came out in the ’80s. I took this photo below of a sign in Nagoya last year. Very creative apostrophe abuse. No apostrophe is needed in this case, but if you're going to use it, you might as well put it on the wrong side of the year.  Via Presentation Zen Can you find the apostrophe abuse here on this page?  Via Presentation Zen The "dumb" apostrophe
Most people know where an apostrophe goes, but they often unknowingly put in a "dumb apostrophe" (a vertical stroke rather than the proper mark designed for the typeface) when they type, for example, 2009 as ‘09. Your software may have thought you were beginning a quotation and thus gave you the open single quotation mark. To get a proper apostrophe you may have to use a keyboard command. On the Mac it's Option + Shift + ] to get the single closed quotation mark (apostrophe). Use Alt + 0146 on the PC. As you can see from the photo right, sometimes the backward apostrophe gets by the best of them. |
