The manu



This Thursday born Igor. Russian.

Looking for something I did not find, I found something that ... etc.

This is the first page of Igor, the first I wrote and that, with enough changes and corrections, the novel begins.

is, yes, the first page of the manuscript of Igor. Manuscript in its literal sense, because before I wrote with my hands. with one hand.

now this practice has become so unusual that the word manuscript had to get another job, and name something else: the publishers say they have drawers full of 'manuscripts' when talking about printing word files.

This sheet shows the trembling of my pulse, and even a hole of burning ash.

The notebook, its cover, said to be in 2001. Then started all this, which ends in a few days from 3 to 29 year 7. After much beyond writing.

Bah, ends. A little start, too.

FOUNDATION LAUNCH Sadosky

Finding humanist inheritance of mathematical
Sadosky

The brand new center of excellence promoted Research on Information Technologies and Communication. Named after the brilliant mathematician Argentina, whose generosity forced others to give their best one. Ruben A.

Arribas

When high school kids are asking "What is mathematics?" Should have on hand Sadosky's biography, his life is paradigmatic of what a scientist can take place in modern society. In fact, his legacy has such unanimity humanities and social legitimacy that the Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, Council of University Rectors Argentina, CONICET, cameras or CESSI CICOMRA technology companies and several organisms have chosen their patronage to create an advanced research center. Recent Sadosky Doctor Foundation is the legal concept that sealed a strategic alliance between the national government, universities and businesses to increase competitiveness in the long term. As explained Tulio del Bono, Secretary of Science, Technology and Productive Innovation of the name choice is not random, "Sadosky committed to a style of work."

And the footprint of this mathematician remains indelible in those who knew him. Some remember him as the visionary who Clementina in 1960 brought the first computer that had the country. Others because it symbolized that excellence in public education, which she dedicated her existence Sarmiento. Many because it felt like someone wiser than ever widening field of view of others-with a book, with a contact, constructive criticism, without asking anything in return. All agree that was an excellent business network builder and a leader whose generosity forced others to give their best one. Therefore, opening a foundation with his name implies assuming a way not only to science but to practice integrating humanism and social values. Also look to the future.

So, at least on paper, the Foundation will be instrumental Sadosky that would allow Argentina to meet the strategic goal: to become in 2014 a leader in the field of Information Technologies and Communication Technology (ICT). To this end, the Foundation shall be designed as a center of excellence to research, develop and innovate in this area and act as a node of the network integrating science and technology in the country. If all goes well, the government hopes to achieve so that the contribution to GDP of ICT-oriented companies grow from 1.8 to 3 percent and the total number of scientific researchers increase of 30 to 60 mil. Ultimately, this effort will increase the competitiveness of companies and will strengthen the productive sector, where the country has great opportunities for improvement, according to the study of strengths and weaknesses of the Argentine scientist by the government.

To Tulio del Bono, "who holds the position that Sadosky had during Alfonsin's government, the Foundation will work as a consultant to public-state hiperespecializada prioritize those lines of research in ICT that the board considers the greatest impact . Ie the dialogue between State, universities and industry will serve to refine where and how resources will be invested. The Foundation will act as a business incubator dedicated to technology, and will not compete against them. Sadosky As requested, this is not to generate abstract knowledge of the art, but to know high level applied to immediate social needs. For example, when he brought Clementina began to work 24 hours to correct census data or calculate the height and flow of rivers. That's the idea of \u200b\u200bApplied Mathematics and that he had implemented the Foundation.

In this sense, the mysterious acronym ICT today, sooner or later become something the public domain, as happened with the computer. Bonus gives several examples of its application on "In the agricultural sector can be a computer system that monitors moisture sensors and allows water more efficiently. In education, through good Internet connections, we can bring to the country's remote schools of high quality teaching resources. And governance practices, for example, can enable new ways of participation for citizens through public forums and referendums. " Come on, it will not be heading without introducing technology.

Until that happens, the Foundation is finalizing the legal procedures to start business in the second half of 2007. First open Headquartered in Buenos Aires and then articulate several regional nodes: "Probably start with Bahía Blanca, Córdoba, San Juan, Rosario, San Luis and Tandil," quoted the Secretary. Then proceed to tender for hiring 10 to 20 leading scientists to coordinate national research teams. While the lines of work will be decided by the board of the Foundation when this is established, the Bond anticipates that the items belong to telecommunications, microelectronics, robotics and the like. Regarding funding, he adds: "The State shall bear the costs of operating the first 4 or 5 years until the project self-sustaining through patents registered and the sale of services. The initial budget for the headquarters is 12 million pesos per year. "

And any objective for the short term? "Yes, human resources development. Argentina has few experts in ICT undergraduate or graduate degree, so, in my opinion, this is one of the major potholes that we save, "says Bond. Hence, the Foundation raises two immediate objectives: to collaborate with universities to establish undergraduate and graduate studies focused on ICTs and work with the Roots for the repatriation program and Argentine scientists specialized link in the field to universities here. The idea is, as Bond explains that "there are doctors, lawyers, agronomists, etc., for example, postgraduate study and specialize in ICT."

In short: in 2014-the year that meet Sadosky hundred years, "the acronym ICT will be as common as today's PC. Argentina, through this foundation, and it wants to get the train to the future. The media and the commitment of all sectors seem to be, now just need to take to roll the project. Yes, hopefully also by then, among all this technology, the high school kids know and explain what it is for a mathematician in a society like this.

A book to honor the memory of a friend

Kulesz Leopoldo's debt to his friend Manuel Sadosky still unliquidated. Hence, this Doctor of Mathematics and editor of 36 years has long maintained two initiatives to honor his memory. The first is to give the book "Honoris Causa. The legacy of Manuel Sadosky "who ask for it. To do this simply write the email from the publisher, info@delzorzal.com.ar , and ask this volume, which compiles the articles that friends like Mario Bunge Pablo Santiago Kovadloff Jacovkis or have devoted to Sadosky. The second initiative is to publish a book to collect the testimonies of those who knew him to collaborate in this venture, the contact address is the same.

However, Kulesz tribute to his teacher does not end there. Among the collections offered Thrush Books, a teacher's training in mathematics and directs Patricia Sadovsky, niece of Don Manuel and recognized training analyst in the field. For now, the collection consists of 6 books, one of which, "Reading Euclid Beppo Levi, led to the editorial. The book dates from 1947 and was undiscoverable until Sadosky him out of his library in 1999 to recommend it to Kulesz. This was dazzled and, given that nobody wanted to publish his brother Octavio, and he spent 3 thousand dollars and began to Thrush Books.

"We were concerned to learn to reason"

Rebecca Guber was co-authored a reference book for many students in the Mathematical Analysis 60: "The Sadosky" Guber " , as many still call it. Guber is currently 80 years old, employed since 1995 in the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation and participated in drafting the statute governing the foundation that bears the name of his colleague and friend. At his age, remains as active as when Sadosky and she wrote the book.

So remember that time: "Two university professors were banned for political reasons in the 50's. Then we gave private lessons to survive and that detect major shortcoming of the students. As in our respective chairs, Dr. Sadosky addressed the theoretical and I practice. In 2 or 3 years we had prepared the book. " Why work so well? "We were concerned that students learn to reason, not to take exams and go ahead."

Of course, Sadosky-Governmental shared more than a book of mathematics. First, with the arrival of the Triple A in 1974, lived together in exile in Venezuela. Then with the arrival of Alfonsin in 1983, they teamed up in the then Ministry of Science and Technology. This means the duo continued working together over 50 years. In the words of the doctor, theirs was a relationship "warm, friend, beloved."

How To Re-register A Car In Northern Ireland

Igor is coming, the novel

This is the cover.

A character named like the novel: Igor. This character has a flaw, and is lying in bed in a hotel room. Igor wants
marry. We do not know if it will succeed.
There is a female character who has a mole: Natschenka.
There is a pair of shoes in the room that is Igor. They may be of Natschenka. Another female character
: Milena. She is barefoot.
Any sensible person can deduce that if there are shoes in one hand and a barefoot woman in another, is because there is a plot in the middle. Igor
is wise but a bit paranoid: have a sneaking suspicion that there is a plot but a trap.
The plots and traps have a relationship and some interesting similarities, someone should think about that. Not me, of course: I'm just having a frame and make some traps.
A man, Igor, and two women, Natschenka and Milena, about a potential marriage, would shape in almost every case, a love triangle. In this case, however, that there is a sphere of love: there are so many books on the hopes that I decided to make a tiny change and write a book about the area.
A letter. That's what

Show Me Some Hindu Clothes

: Rojas Cultural Center Boys and escritores.org


Clarín, March 18, 2007, Supplement Education Version

paper: cover here, the first page here and the second yonder.


A legion of adult fans to learn

Such is the success of Rojas that nearly doubled its enrollment since 2000. This year, approximately 5,300 adults over 50 years were enrolled in the program that offers 185 courses. From the cultural center say they are students who "demand everything that a teacher can give." Ruben A.

Arribas

"The Red is an addiction to a drug. Once you get here, I do not want to leave more. Besides teaching issues that the teachers are excellent or you prefer some other matters, "is a matter of social containment. There are people who became a widow, the children will be married, he has no friends ... Arrive here, and two months are other people. It is not my case nor that of Maria Antonia, who came for pleasure, to learn more ... But because many people come looking for company, "says Alba Garibaldi.

"Here, you meet with your peers, and that gives a lot of contention," says Maria Antonia Muniz.

"Look, many years ago a doctor friend who unfortunately passed away, I knew that I came here I said," Why Why do not you bring me the papers of Rojas? "He was going to be seeing patients who were depressed and came recommend coming here ... You know, people then return to thank him! They were people who remained single, and the disease he had was this: solitude, "says Alba.

friends addition, Alba and Maria Antonia are both addicted to the Elderly Program offered by the Centro Cultural Ricardo Rojas: Nearly two decades have engaged. But are not the only, there are at least 15 students involved them from the beginning (or almost) of this program created in 1987 and depends on the University of Buenos Aires. Improvements in educational provision and the solvency of management over the past years have only helped to increase the addiction.

At its inception the program was aimed at those over 60 years, had 450 students and offered 28 courses related to psychology, health and information technology. Twenty years after the age of access are 50, host to 5,300 students and offers 185 courses as diverse as swimming, painting, philosophy of Kierkegaard or Bergman's films, all with tariffs about 25 pesos a month per course. Its success is such that those who wish to enroll are lined up at 5 am every time the Red open enrollment.

Cristina Lombardi, program coordinator since October 2006 and the Red since 1987, explains the secret: "I do not think students and retirees, parents or grandparents, but as university students. This sets us apart from other approaches, such as gerontology. " He adds: "Students of Rojas come to incorporate tools that rewrite their lives as citizens think and produce knowledge. They come not only to listen to teachers, but to participate as these will help them capitalize on knowledge that even before or even recognize as their own. For teachers is a great pleasure, but also a great demand: are students who demand everything that a teacher can give. "

ie The Red puts teachers and cafeteria, the students, the rest. As in college, are students who breathe life to the cultural center building their networks of friends, passed by the Student Center to discuss the National Education Act, or even create a cooperative, self-employed to Rojas, "to travel together by Argentina. Apparently, the addiction has a reason: to live with intensity.

worked as Expert -grain ... And I always say I studied economics for a living and I live to study what I like, "says Alba. Rojas did in 5 years Political Science, 17, Art History, several courses in Computer Science, Tango ...

"I studied to what I liked: English teacher. And here I continued this line: History of Art and Philosophy, "says Maria Antonia.

As noted by the coordinator, was impressed by the enthusiasm of the university. And is that Alba turns 82 on April 29, never married but has two grandchildren and a niece who is like a daughter, won the battle to cancer five years ago and, given his leadership, colleagues call it the Captain. For its part, Maria Antonia meets 71 the day after, a widowed the years who also had the Red, two of his six grandchildren live with her and defatting classes for their peers. The two retired long ago, but both still working in his ... And they seem to have here to stay.

"I think coming to 120 years," says Alba.

"I do not know if so ... But I will continue here. The more I learn, the more I can give. That, along with everything I experienced, I can pass it on to my grandchildren. It's really nice to take them to the museum and telling the things I learned, "says Maria Antonia.

course, the body deteriorates with age, but wisdom increases. It is a fact. You only need to take care of together. So the classic adage says that if a company neglects its elderly, does not deserve to have a history. Alba and Maria Antonia illustrate why this is a fair sentence.

social containment: a collective task
"Reaching the 60 to 70, at 80 and have friends, colleagues, learn new things, you feel that the children take into account that the grandchildren will listen ... Be happy. That's quality of life. So memory is not lost any contracts or psychopathology. " According

Nidia Schuster, Senior Program Coordinator for 50 of Rojas between 2002 and 2006, the quality of life depends on three factors: the psychological, biological and social. "In the first two deal elsewhere. Social containment, are responsible for places like the Red, but also that work is a collective task, "he stresses. And he warns: "Today young people, even doctors, have no patience with the older people and children barely take time to listen or to be with them for pleasure."

According to this educator, from 50 to adults increasingly find it difficult to establish a common language with the children and grandchildren. On the one hand, the pair fell, the children no longer live at home, many not even in the country, and often discouraging work. On the other, the world moves quickly and is easy to be out of date. What to do? Paradigm shift: "Before his retirement, is good to start a new educational process that enriches one, so the transition is smooth," said Schuster.

addition, he says, urging that the State and private sector policies implemented today for the next decade. "The elderly population is growing at 3 percent annually, it is becoming more qualified and has no space to integrate, develop and transmit their potential. " And as an idea for discussion, Schuster proposes to create the University of Experience, "a half social club, middle school, working in non formal education and to build on the experience of adults for the benefit of all."

Exhausted subjects, always go for more
Punctual. Hungry for knowledge. Participatory. Solidarity. And above all, as motivators that teachers do not miss even when sick. After 20 years of teaching in Rojas, Jorge bounce and Cristina Piaggio defined as a pupil. Indeed, a class full of students who up to 40 people, averaging 62 years and much of which participates in the Elderly Program long.

Piaggio, professor of art history, knows the irreducible of Rojas, at least one group of 15 follows its course since 1987. Together with art began in Greece and, chronologically, went through the whole story until the twenty-first century. Exhausted the agenda for years, students took the post and suggested topics that interested them as a course on Egyptian art or a workshop to reflect on digital photography.

rightly Piaggio Rojas you more excited that the School of Fine Arts, where he teaches: "There is normal as you say, 'Oh, no, but I'm going to be an artist, I am not interested in Art History." Here the majority has the art as an unresolved and is not seeking a degree, just want to learn. "

The Coordinator of Information, Jorge bounce, shares the admiration of his colleague in the learning desire of these students. Here's a tip: Throw began in 1987 with 4 courses and 100 students, now coordinates 35 courses, has 800 students and must manage long waiting lists. And is that new generations of older adults will require more than just handle e-mail or surf the Internet, "Now We also Photoshop, Flash and web design, "says Smiley.

"There once was a former muuuuuuuuuuuy school. The kids did not like at all. One day I climbed the stairs together and stepped on so hard that he turned around and they fell behind. It turned out again to the past when the school was new. They found that the ladder was magical and could travel in time. End Bye. Until another time. "

Santiago Garcia (6), Esquel, one of the 2,407 Argentines who have published a text in www.chicosyescritores.org , a website designed by psychologist and developed Emilia Ferreiro between the Economic Culture Fund and the National Autonomous University of Mexico. In this free public education forum, interact with more than 11 000 children 4 to 12 years who write in English, mainly from Latin America and Spain. According Kriscautzky Marina, one of the academic coordinator, "this experience shows" that children can read and write when it makes sense to do so, they like to communicate in writing when someone responds taking seriously what they have to say. "

This applies at least the kids in Argentina. Account Kriscautzky from Mexico City that these "are the second nationality in number of users, but in percentage are those most published. " In late February 2007, young Internet users had been published 523 albicelestes own texts and had recommended 376 books to their peers. Is it too much or too little? At that time, the nearly 5 million Mexicans registered 613 texts had been drafted and had recommended 440 books. Come hither that you have taken the measure to the computer.

Anyway, rather than the affinity for technology-something generation, what is striking is that they have recommended 376 different books. Was not only read Harry Potter? Not really. For Rivadero Sofia Cordoba (8), Reading is a nice "Ruperto detective" by Roy Berocay. According to Paula Alvarez (10), Buenos Aires, "Lorca for children" is very interesting because it allows "write or draw something from a poem on the back pages." And Oriana Arriola (13), Villa La Angostura, "Fallen off the map", María Inés Falconi (13), because the players liked the same grade as her: 7 º. That is, the kids have a variety of tastes and love to share.

And if your literary tastes are varied, not least their interests are different when typed. Thus, the Cordoba Guadalupe Diaz (12) wrote a variation on the story of the frog and the princess, where he lives on missions and compete against the princess Fito Paez Glucutucu. For its part, Martina Lopez Yablon (13), Buenos Aires, invented "insonante poetry", a genre where it matters less if it is consonant rhyme or alliteration and assonance to form "the rush of the breeze." Others, like the locals also, Emanuel Gamaleri (13), Aime Daiana Scura (12) and Nicole Vispo (12) vocalized their feelings about lost childhood, first love, death, school or separated parents. Prose, poetry, story, diary or autobiography, who cares, what matters is who write frequency.

Of course, even better news is that they are just a sample of the 2,407 fellow Argentines are listed. To Kriscautzky, after four years of the project's conclusion is clear: "Children think about writing, it raises questions about how it works and how to interact socially through it." The data bear this out: chicosyescritores.org receives approximately 4,700 hits per month. In other words, adults should take more seriously what kids have to say, especially in writing.

As a workshop
Since 2002, the team becomes chicosyescritores.org actually a postulate of its coordinator, Emilia Ferreiro, PhD in Psychology, a student of Jean Piaget and modernization of literacy, "promoting intellectual respect for the child. Through the website, these teachers work written texts children as if they attend a writing workshop. Marina Kriscautzky sums up the methodology of the corrections: "We put ourselves in the author's point of view, age and knowledge on writing sample, on that basis decide what errors are able to see the author in his text: no we ask the same thing a child of 7 years to a 13, but not that to 10. If the text needs to change, we wrote the author to explain what the main problem and giving ideas for improvement. If not, do a commentary accompanying the text and publish it. "

How To Fix Coyote Snares

Clarín, March 4, 2007, Education section

paper version: here.

"Playing live is under the control of emotions that adults are not possible"

In this second talk with Clarin, the expert in childhood Francesco Tonucci, was a common complaint of children to adults. They are convinced that, while providing good ideas to solve all issues, not hear your opinion. Ruben A.

Arribas

Who has more public space: the adults to park their cars or children to play with friends? The answer to this question exemplifies the questionable sense that the word "progress in today's society. According to Francesco Tonucci teacher, adults abuse their power and turn the cities into prisons for children. And all, as explained by this prestigious specialist in childhood, because "adults only build cities them and their cars, and throw almost all others. "

is so clear: politicians, parents or teachers, for example, making decisions that affect children, but who do not respect these basic rights. What are those rights? "Being able to leave home alone, as a citizen to participate in improving the city, enjoy safe public spaces and the adoption of a culture of childhood", lists Tonucci. For boys, the progress is to live in cities where pedestrians reign and bicycles, to learn in schools that they find funny or avoid boredom at home because they are not allowed out alone. That adults also consult them on how to realize these and other dreams.

Where do you start then? The children's main complaint says this teacher, is asking for more autonomy, moments of freedom where they are not supervised by adults. Parents happen to imprison their children at home and do not let them go out alone because they fear everything: traffic, child molesters, who were removed shoes and money, including the slides of the park. Tonucci understands the concern about the insecurity, but argued against: "The data says that 90 percent of violence against children occurs at home, not in the street." He adds: "If children can not going out alone, can not play. Play requires the autonomy and freedom to live experiences as an adventure, discovery, risk ... Emotions that, under the supervision of adults, are not possible and that children need to mature. "

The following claim about children is that adults do not take into account their views, although they have good ideas to resolve issues that affect everyone. "Good ideas, really? Then a few questions for both sides, with the answers sought Tonucci in February when he met with kids from Rosario and Buenos Aires. Easy: what do they like to children? Parents: "Watching TV and playing video game." Children: "Playing with other children." A policy: how to make the city safer? Team adults: "More police!". The one with the kids: "fill the city of children." Again the same questions, whether big, suddenly, becomes creative: how to make the city safer? The losers: "We installed video cameras." The winners: "Take two parents drinking mate in each block."

regard, Tonucci reflects: "Adults have a perverse capacity to think that living alone can be happy. In contrast, children know that to be happy need to others and claim that public spaces, where the public picks up the sense of shared space, and not reserved. " Therefore, neither GDP or inflation, progress must be measured by the ability of adults to put in the heart of society to children and talk to them, that's what differentiates a company from others. Tonucci sums it up: "Children are pretty much everywhere, what changes is the ability of adults to listen and support them in what they propose." Cheaper could not be the formula for progress and happiness to talk to the kids.

ROSARIO, UNA CIUDAD PIONERA

Francesco Tonucci vino acá para celebrar los diez años de adhesión de Rosario a La ciudad de los niños, una iniciativa mundial que conciencia a la sociedad de que los chicos también son ciudadanos. Como fundador del proyecto, el pedagogo se mostró encantado con los logros rosarinos y destacó la gran creatividad y el empuje del equipo coordinado por Chiqui González y Silvia Alderoqui. Entre las propuestas infantiles implementadas en la ciudad, la favorita del italiano es El día del juego: el primer miércoles de octubre las escuelas abren sólo para jugar, incluso la Policía corta varias streets for people mate and the kids are at ease. The idea was born in 1998 and since then more than 500 companies have joined the celebration and give an hour off her personal. Why? To play, of course.
