class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/61000">So in 1965,</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/63000">I went to what was called the worst Bihar famine in India,</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/67000">and I saw starvation, death,</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/70000">people dying of hunger, for the first time.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/73000">It changed my life.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/76000">I came back home,</a> <a

wrong with you?"</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/97000">I said, "No, I've got the best eduction.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/99000">It made me think.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/101000">And I wanted to give something back</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/104000">in my own

<a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/114000">and dig wells for five years."</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/117000">"Dig wells for five years?</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/119000">You went to the most expensive school and college in India,</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/122000">and you want to dig wells for five years?"</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/124000">She didn't speak to me for a very long time,</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/128000">because she thought I'd let my family down.</a></i> <br /><i> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/133000">But then,</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/135000">I was exposed to the most extraordinary knowledge and skills</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/138000">that very poor people have,</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/140000">which are never brought into the mainstream --</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/143000">which is never identified, respected,</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/145000">applied on a large scale.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/147000">And I thought I'd start a Barefoot College --</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/149000">college only for the poor.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/151000">What the poor thought was important</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/153000">would be reflected in the college.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/157000">I went to this village for the first time.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/159000">Elders came to me</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/161000">and said, "Are you running from the police?"</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/163000">I said, "No."</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/165000">(Laughter)</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/169000">"You failed in your exam?"</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/171000">I said, "No."</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/173000">"You didn't get a government job?" I said, "No."</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/176000">"What are you doing here?</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/178000">Why are you here?</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/180000">The education system in India</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/182000">makes you look at Paris and New Delhi and Zurich;</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/185000">what are you doing in this village?</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/187000">Is there something wrong with you you're not telling us?"</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/190000">I said, "No, I want to actually start a college</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/193000">only for the poor.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/195000">What the poor thought was important would be reflected in the college."</a></i> <br /><i> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/198000">So the elders gave me some very sound and profound advice.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/202000">They said, "Please,</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/204000">don't bring anyone with a degree and qualification</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/207000">into your college."</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/209000">So it's the only college in India</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/212000">where, if you should have a Ph.D. or a Master's,</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/215000">you are disqualified to come.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/217000">You have to be a cop-out or a wash-out or a dropout</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/222000">to come to our college.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/225000">You have to work with your hands.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/227000">You have to have a dignity of labor.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/229000">You have to show that you have a skill that you can offer to the community</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/232000">and provide a service to the community.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/235000">So we started the Barefoot College,</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/238000">and we redefined professionalism.</a></i> <br /><i> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/240000">Who is a professional?</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/242000">A professional is someone</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/244000">who has a combination of competence,</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/246000">confidence and belief.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/249000">A water diviner is a professional.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/252000">A traditional midwife</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/254000">is a professional.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/256000">A traditional bowl setter is a professional.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/259000">These are professionals all over the world.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/261000">You find them in any inaccessible village around the world.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/265000">And we thought that these people should come into the mainstream</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/268000">and show that the knowledge and skills that they have</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/271000">is universal.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/273000">It needs to be used, needs to be applied,</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/275000">needs to be shown to the world outside --</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/277000">that these knowledge and skills</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/279000">are relevant even today.</a></i> <br /><i> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/283000">So the college works</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/285000">following the lifestyle and workstyle of Mahatma Gandhi.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/289000">You eat on the floor, you sleep on the floor, you work on the floor.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/293000">There are no contracts, no written contracts.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/295000">You can stay with me for 20 years, go tomorrow.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/298000">And no one can get more than $100 a month.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/301000">You come for the money, you don't come to Barefoot College.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/304000">You come for the work and the challenge,</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/306000">you'll come to the Barefoot College.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/308000">That is where we want you to try and create the ideas.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/311000">Whatever idea you have, come and try it.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/313000">It doesn't matter if you fail.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/315000">Battered, bruised, you start again.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/318000">It's the only college where the teacher is the learner</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/321000">and the learner is the teacher.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/324000">And it's the only college where we don't give a certificate.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/327000">You are certified by the community you serve.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/330000">You don't need a paper to hang on the wall</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/332000">to show that you are an engineer.</a></i> <br /><i> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/337000">So when I said that,</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/339000">they said, "Well show us what is possible. What are you doing?</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/342000">This is all mumbo-jumbo if you can't show it on the ground."</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/346000">So we built the first Barefoot College</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/349000">in 1986.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/352000">It was built by 12 Barefoot architects</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/354000">who can't read and write,</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/356000">built on $1.50 a sq. ft.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/359000">150 people lived there, worked there.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/363000">They got the Aga Khan Award for Architecture in 2002.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/366000">But then they suspected, they thought there was an architect behind it.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/369000">I said, "Yes, they made the blueprints,</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/371000">but the Barefoot architects actually constructed the college."</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/376000">We are the only ones who actually returned the award for $50,000,</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/379000">because they didn't believe us,</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/381000">and we thought that they were actually casting aspersions</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/385000">on the Barefoot architects of Tilonia.</a></i> <br /><i> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/388000">I asked a forester --</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/390000">high-powered, paper-qualified expert --</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/393000">I said, "What can you build in this place?"</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/396000">He had one look at the soil and said, "Forget it. No way.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/398000">Not even worth it.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/400000">No water, rocky soil."</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/402000">I was in a bit of a spot.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/404000">And I said, "Okay, I'll go to the old man in village</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/406000">and say, 'What should I grow in this spot?'"</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/409000">He looked quietly at me and said,</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/411000">"You build this, you build this, you put this, and it'll work."</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/413000">This is what it looks like today.</a></i> <br /><i> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/417000">Went to the roof,</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/419000">and all the women said, "Clear out.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/421000">The men should clear out because we don't want to share this technology with the men.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/424000">This is waterproofing the roof."</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/426000">(Laughter)</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/428000">It is a bit of jaggery, a bit of urens</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/431000">and a bit of other things I don't know.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/433000">But it actually doesn't leak.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/435000">Since 1986, it hasn't leaked.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/438000">This technology, the women will not share with the men.</a></i> <br /><i> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/441000">(Laughter)</a> </i><br /><i> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/444000">It's the only college</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/446000">which is fully solar electrified.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/450000">All the power comes from the sun.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/452000">45 kilowatt panels on the roof.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/454000">And everything works off the sun for the next 25 years.</a> <a class="transcriptLink" href="http://www.ted.com/talks/456000">So long as

That exported cotton was woven into fine cloth – hundred percent cotton – in the Manchester textile mills, of course by our own Indian laborers employed there. The ready cotton cloth was then packaged back to India. This “imported” from Britain stuff was bought and worn at a high cost by the affluent Indian natives.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Book Antiqua&quot;; font-size: 14.0pt;">The hymns of the highly revered <i>Rigveda</i>, claimed to be the world’s most ancient composition, are the divine outpourings of my own (human) ancestors sitting in deep meditation on the banks of the haloed <i>Saraswati</i> river, now a “<i>gupta-gaamini</i>”, in the remote past. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Book Antiqua&quot;; font-size: 14.0pt;">The manuscripts of this holy text were “exported” – again by force or stealth – by the European indologists under the blessings/connivance of the British Raj. Some of these manuscripts were commissioned to converge at <i>Goteertha</i>(Oxford) to be handled by <i>Moksha-mulara-bhatta</i> (Maxmueller) of <i>Sharmanyadesha</i> (Germany), the unforgettable Orientalist scholar highly revered by some and equally reviled by the incorrigible domestic fanatics! Either way the (Indian) <i>Rigveda,</i> duly edited, was “imported” from the West back to our sacred homeland.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Book Antiqua&quot;; font-size: 14.0pt;">Now, coming to the present, I am speculating, right in the middle of sleepless night, three white-skinned damsels converging in NZ, the land of Kiwis, for <i>amrita-manthana, </i>the churning of nectar, Indian nectar at that. Imagine the famous biblical cauldron scene in which the all-merciful God brewed the divine concoction in the form of this world. Reportedly that large cauldron had its circular rim with circumference 30 cubits and diameter10 cubits. My sleepless dream proceeds further with the damsel-trio (“<i>gori teen deviyan</i>” in Hindi) circumambulating a modern platinum cauldron chanting “<i>om!”, “om</i>!” to churn out the Indian nectar. How about the ingredients to cook the ambrosian concoction? Given that the covert trio comprises awesome number-crunchers (did you say how drab?), the ingredients poured into the cauldron are a variety of numerical tables, erstwhile secretly owned by our tufted almanac-makers. To add to the grandeur and sanctity of the resulting brew, the numerical tables are in Sanskrit, the “<i>devabhasha</i>”, the language of gods. Here and there you may find some number-chains (<i>saarinis</i>) in Kannada too, exported by some patriotic Kannadiga! Well, the damsels conspire in hushed voice, “When shall we three meet next?” (with apologies to Shakespeare!). They decide on commencing the sacred churning (<i>manthama</i>) during the festival of lights, Deepavali.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Book Antiqua&quot;; font-size: 14.0pt;">I am waiting to “import” potfulls of own Indian nectar from the kiwiland. If it is denied to pagans like us, let us not hesitate to sneak, even as <i>Simhika’s</i> son <i>Rahu</i> did, into the world of the privileged and blessed, to snatch away as much as possible that Indian nectar back into our native land. Of course, our own Kannada component might in the process gain some occidental flavour sprinkled with some scents of Arabia by the irrestible teen <i>deviyan</i>.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Book Antiqua&quot;; font-size: 14.0pt;">Even as my somnambulistic detour is getting cut short by the chirping birds, I overhear our occidental damsels shouting with triumph, “We know the ratio of the periphery of the cauldron rim to its diameter more accurately than our primitive God whose knowledge of the circle was equally primitive in taking the much abhorred <i>“pi”</i> as just 3. This indeed explains all the defects of this world! The number crunching Indian ambrosia we have brewed in this alien land is bound to be everlasting with no defects.”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .75in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 6.0pt; tab-stops: 135.0pt; text-indent: -.75in;"><u><span style="font-family: &quot;Book Antiqua&quot;;">Address:</span></u><span style="font-family: &quot;Book Antiqua&quot;; font-size: 14.0pt;"> <b>Dr. S.Balachandra Rao</b> <br /></span><span style="font-family: &quot;Book Antiqua&quot;;">#2388, Jnana Deep, <br />13<sup>th</sup> Main, A-Block, <br />Rajajinagar 2<sup>nd</sup> stage, <br />Bangalore-560 010.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in 0.0001pt 0.75in; text-indent: -0.75in;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Book Antiqua&quot;;">Ph.-9741411480 <br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: red; margin: 6pt 0in 0.0001pt 0.75in; text-align: center; text-indent: -0.75in;"><b><span style="font-family: &quot;Book Antiqua&quot;;">Importing Indian nectar </span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in 0.0001pt 0.75in; text-align: center; text-indent: -0.75in;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Book Antiqua&quot;;"><b style="color: red;">Article by S.

href="http://www.nobelprize.org/redirect/links_out/prizeawarder.php?from=/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/2011/press.html&amp;object=nobelpeaceprize.org&amp;to=http://nobelpeaceprize.org" target="_blank">The Norwegian Nobel Committee</a> has decided that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2011 is to be divided in three equal parts between <strong>Ellen Johnson Sirleaf</strong>, <strong>Leymah Gbowee </strong>and <strong>Tawakkul Karman </strong> for their non-violent struggle for the safety of women and for women’s rights to full participation in peace-building work.&nbsp; We cannot achieve democracy and lasting peace in the world unless women obtain the same opportunities as men to influence developments at all levels of society.<br />In October 2000, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 1325.&nbsp; The resolution for the first time made violence against women in armed conflict an international security issue.&nbsp; It underlined the need for women to become participants on an equal footing with men in peace processes and in peace work in general.<br />Ellen Johnson Sirleaf is Africa’s first democratically elected female president.&nbsp; Since her inauguration in 2006, she has contributed to securing peace in Liberia, to promoting economic and social development, and to strengthening the position of women.&nbsp; Leymah Gbowee mobilized and organized women across ethnic and religious dividing lines to bring an end to the long war in Liberia, and to ensure women’s participation in elections.&nbsp; She has since worked to enhance the influence of women in West Africa during and after war.&nbsp; In the most trying circumstances, both before and during the “Arab spring”, Tawakkul Karman has played a leading part in the struggle for women’s rights and for democracy and peace in Yemen.<br />It is the Norwegian Nobel Committee’s hope that the prize to Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Leymah Gbowee and Tawakkul Karman will help to bring an end to the suppression of women that still occurs in many countries, and to realise the great potential for democracy and peace that women can represent.<br />Oslo, October 7, 2011<br /><br /><div

1931. His mother Helmy was a schoolteacher and his father Gösta Tranströmer a journalist. After graduating in 1950 from Södra Latin grammar school he studied literature history and poetics, the history of religion, and psychology at Stockholm University – subjects he took for his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1956. After completed academic studies, he was employed as an assistant at the Institution for Psychometrics at Stockholm University in 1957. In the following year, he married Monica Bladh. Between 1960 and 1966, he worked as a psychologist at Roxtuna, a youth correctional facility near Linköping. In 1980 he took a position at the Labour Market Institute (Arbetsmarknadsinstitutet) in Västerås. In 1990 Tranströmer suffered a stroke that left him largely unable to speak.<br />After publishing poems in a number of journals, Tranströmer published in 1954 <i>17 dikter</i> (17 poems) – one of the most acclaimed literary debuts of the decade. Already apparent was the interest in nature and music that has informed a major part of his production. With the following collections – <i>Hemligheter på vägen</i> (1958; Secrets along the way), <i>Den halvfärdiga himlen</i> (1962; <i>The Half-Finished Heaven</i>, 2001) and <i>Klanger och spår </i>(1966; see <i>Windows &amp; Stones : Selected Poems</i>, 1972) – he consolidated his standing among critics and other readers as one of the leading poets of his generation.<br />A suite, <i>Östersjöar</i> (1974; <i>Baltics</i>, 1975), gathers fragments of a family chronicle from Runmarö Island in the Stockholm archipelago, where his maternal grandfather was a pilot and where Tranströmer has spent many summers since boyhood. His reminiscences from growing up in the 1930s and ‘40s are collected in a memoir, <i>Minnena ser mig</i> (1993; The memories see me).<br />Most of Tranströmer’s poetry collections are characterised by economy, concreteness and poignant metaphors. In his latest collections, <i>Sorgegondolen</i> (1996; <i>The Sorrow Gondola</i>, 1997) and <i>Den stora gåtan </i>(2004; <i>The Great Enigma</i>, 2006), Tranströmer has shifted towards an even smaller format and a higher degree of concentration.<br />Tranströmer was introduced in the United States by author Robert Bly as early as the 1960s. Since then, international interest in his poetry has grown and he has now been translated into more than sixty languages. Tranströmer has periodically published his own translations of poetry in other languages. A collection, entitled <i>Tolkningar </i>(Interpretations), was published in 1999. <br /><br /><table cellpadding="2" summary="Bibliography"><tbody><tr> <td width="752"><b>Works in Swedish</b></td> </tr><tr> <td><b>Poetry collections</b><i><br />17 dikter</i>. – Stockholm : Bonnier, 1954</td> </tr><tr> <td><i>Hemligheter på vägen</i>. – Stockholm : Bonnier, 1958</td> </tr><tr> <td><i>Den halvfärdiga himlen</i>. – Stockholm : Bonnier, 1962</td> </tr><tr> <td><i>Klanger och spår</i>. – Stockholm : Bonnier, 1966</td> </tr><tr> <td><i>Mörkerseende</i>. – Göteborg : Författarförlaget, 1970 </td> </tr><tr> <td><i>Stigar</i> / Tomas Tranströmer, Robert Bly, János Pilinszky ; övers. av Tomas Tranströmer tillsammans med Géza Thinsz. – Göteborg : Författarförlaget, 1973 </td> </tr><tr> <td><i>Östersjöar</i>. – Stockholm : Bonnier, 1974<i> </i> </td> </tr><tr> <td><i>Sanningsbarriären</i>. – Stockholm : Bonnier, 1978<i> </i></td> </tr><tr> <td><i>Det vilda torget</i>. – Stockholm : Bonnier, 1983<i> </i></td> </tr><tr> <td><i>The Blue House</i> = <i>Det blå huset</i> / translated from the Swedish by Göran Malmqvist. – Houston, TX. : Thunder City Press, 1987<i> </i></td> </tr><tr> <td><i>För levande och döda</i>. – Stockholm : Bonnier, 1989</td> </tr><tr> <td><i>Sorgegondolen</i>. – Stockholm : Bonnier, 1996</td> </tr><tr> <td><i>Fängelse </i>:<i> nio haikudikter från Hällby ungdomsfängelse (1959)</i>. – Uppsala : Ed.

Swedish Academy of Sciences</a> has decided to award the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2011 to<br /><strong>Daniel Shechtman</strong><br />Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel<br /><em>"for the discovery of quasicrystals"</em><br /><br /><h2>A remarkable mosaic of atoms</h2><div class="ingress">In quasicrystals, we find the fascinating mosaics of the Arabic world reproduced at the level of atoms: regular patterns that never repeat themselves. However, the configuration found in quasicrystals was considered impossible, and Daniel Shechtman had to fight a fierce battle against established science. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2011 has fundamentally altered how chemists conceive of solid matter.</div>On the morning of 8 April 1982, an image counter to the laws of nature appeared in Daniel Shechtman's electron microscope. In all solid matter, atoms were believed to be packed inside crystals in symmetrical patterns that were repeated periodically over and over again. For scientists, this repetition was required in order to obtain a crystal.<br />Shechtman's image, however, showed that the atoms in his crystal were packed in a pattern that could not be repeated. Such a pattern was considered just as impossible as creating a football using only six-cornered polygons, when a sphere needs both five- and six-cornered polygons. His discovery was extremely controversial. In the course of defending his findings, he was asked to leave his research group. However, his battle eventually forced scientists to reconsider their conception of the very nature of matter.<br />Aperiodic mosaics, such as those found in the medieval Islamic mosaics of the Alhambra Palace in Spain and the Darb-i Imam Shrine in Iran, have helped scientists understand what quasicrystals look like at the atomic level. In those mosaics, as in quasicrystals, the patterns are regular - they follow mathematical rules - but they never repeat themselves.<br />When scientists describe Shechtman's quasicrystals, they use a concept that comes from mathematics and art: the golden ratio. This number had already caught the interest of mathematicians in Ancient Greece, as it often appeared in geometry. In quasicrystals, for instance, the ratio of various distances between atoms is related to the golden mean.<br />Following Shechtman's discovery, scientists have produced other kinds of quasicrystals in the lab and discovered naturally occurring quasicrystals in mineral samples from a Russian river. A Swedish company has also found quasicrystals in a certain form of steel, where the crystals reinforce the material like armor. Scientists are currently experimenting with using quasicrystals in different products such as frying pans and diesel engines.<br /><table cellpadding="2" summary="Further Reading"><tbody><tr> <td width="391"><b>Read more about this year's prize</b></td> </tr><tr> <td><a class="text_link" href="http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/chemistry/laureates/2011/info_publ_eng_2011.pdf" target="_blank">Information for the Public</a><br /><span class="copy">Pdf 3 MB</span></td> </tr><tr> <td><a class="text_link" href="http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/chemistry/laureates/2011/sciback_2011.pdf" target="_blank">Scientific Background</a><br /><span class="copy">Pdf 1,3 MB</span></td> </tr><tr> <td><div class="copy">In order to read the text you need <a href="http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_organizations/nobelmedia/nobelprize_org/tech_support/acrobat.html">Acrobat Reader</a>.</div></td> </tr><tr> <td><a class="text_link" href="http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/chemistry/laureates/2011/chemreading.html">Links and Further Reading</a></td> </tr></tbody> </table><br /><br /><hr /><br /><strong>Daniel Shechtman</strong>, Israeli citizen.

Probably it will end in ice, if we are to believe this year's Nobel Laureates in Physics. They have studied several dozen exploding stars, called supernovae, and discovered that the Universe is expanding at an ever-accelerating rate. The discovery came as a complete surprise even to the Laureates themselves.</div>In 1998, cosmology was shaken at its foundations as two research teams presented their findings. Headed by Saul Perlmutter, one of the teams had set to work in 1988. <strong>Brian Schmidt </strong>headed another team, launched at the end of 1994, where<strong> Adam Riess</strong> was to play a crucial role.<br />The research teams raced to map the Universe by locating the most distant supernovae. More sophisticated telescopes on the ground and in space, as well as more powerful computers and new digital imaging sensors (CCD, Nobel Prize in Physics in 2009), opened the possibility in the 1990s to add more pieces to the cosmological puzzle.<br />The teams used a particular kind of supernova, called type Ia supernova. It is an explosion of an old compact star that is as heavy as the Sun but as small as the Earth. A single such supernova can emit as much light as a whole galaxy. All in all, the two research teams found over 50 distant supernovae whose light was weaker than expected - this was a sign that the expansion of the Universe was accelerating. The potential pitfalls had been numerous, and the scientists found reassurance in the fact that both groups had reached the same astonishing conclusion.<br />For almost a century, the Universe has been known to be expanding as a consequence of the Big Bang about 14 billion years ago. However, the discovery that this expansion is accelerating is astounding. If the expansion will continue to speed up the Universe will end in ice.<br />The acceleration is thought to be driven by dark energy, but what that dark energy is remains an enigma - perhaps the greatest in physics today. What is known is that dark energy constitutes about three quarters of the Universe. Therefore the findings of the 2011 Nobel Laureates in Physics have helped to unveil a Universe that to a large extent is unknown to science. And everything is possible again.<br /><table cellpadding="2" summary="Further Reading"><tbody><tr> <td width="391"><b>Read more about this year's prize</b></td> </tr><tr> <td><a class="text_link" href="http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/2011/info_publ_phy_11_en.pdf" target="_blank">Information for the Public</a><br /><span class="copy">Pdf 4,9 MB</span></td> </tr><tr> <td><a class="text_link" href="http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/2011/sciback_fy_en_11.pdf" target="_blank">Scientific Background</a><br /><span class="copy">Pdf 1 MB</span></td> </tr><tr> <td> <div class="copy">In order to read the text you need <a href="http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_organizations/nobelmedia/nobelprize_org/tech_support/acrobat.html">Acrobat Reader</a>.</div></td> </tr><tr> <td><a class="text_link" href="http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/2011/phyreading.html">Links and Further Reading</a></td> </tr></tbody> </table><br /><hr /><br /><strong>Saul Perlmutter</strong>, U.S. citizen.

Steinman</b></div><div align="center"><b>for his discovery of the dendritic cell and its role in adaptive immunity</b></div><h3>&nbsp;</h3><h2>Summary</h2>This year's Nobel Laureates have revolutionized our understanding of the immune system by discovering key principles for its activation.<br />Scientists have long been searching for the gatekeepers of the immune response by which man and other animals defend themselves against attack by bacteria and other microorganisms. Bruce Beutler and Jules Hoffmann discovered receptor proteins that can recognize such microorganisms and activate innate immunity, the first step in the body's immune response. Ralph Steinman discovered the dendritic cells of the immune system and their unique capacity to activate and regulate adaptive immunity, the later stage of the immune response during which microorganisms are cleared from the body.<br />The discoveries of the three Nobel Laureates have revealed how the innate and adaptive phases of the immune response are activated and thereby provided novel insights into disease mechanisms. Their work has opened up new avenues for the development of prevention and therapy against infections, cancer, and inflammatory diseases.<br /><h3>Two lines of defense in the immune system</h3>We live in a dangerous world. Pathogenic microorganisms (bacteria, virus, fungi, and parasites) threaten us continuously but we are equipped with powerful defense mechanisms (please see image below). The first line of defense, innate immunity, can destroy invading microorganisms and trigger inflammation that contributes to blocking their assault. If microorganisms break through this defense line, adaptive immunity is called into action. With its T and B cells, it produces antibodies and killer cells that destroy infected cells. After successfully combating the infectious assault, our adaptive immune system maintains an immunologic memory that allows a more rapid and powerful mobilization of defense forces next time the same microorganism attacks. These two defense lines of the immune system provide good protection against infections but they also pose a risk. If the activation threshold is too low, or if endogenous molecules can activate the system, inflammatory disease may follow.<br />The components of the immune system have been identified step by step during the 20<sup>th </sup>century. Thanks to a series of discoveries awarded the Nobel Prize, we know, for instance, how antibodies are constructed and how T cells recognize foreign substances. However, until the work of Beutler, Hoffmann and Steinman, the mechanisms triggering the activation of innate immunity and mediating the communication between innate and adaptive immunity remained enigmatic.<br /><h3>Discovering the sensors of innate immunity</h3><b>Jules Hoffmann</b> made his pioneering discovery in 1996, when he and his co-workers investigated how fruit flies combat infections. They had access to flies with mutations in several different genes including Toll, a gene previously found to be involved in embryonal development by <a href="http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/medicine/laureates/1995/">Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard</a> (Nobel Prize 1995). When Hoffmann infected his fruit flies with bacteria or fungi, he discovered that Toll mutants died because they could not mount an effective defense. He was also able to conclude that the product of the Toll gene was involved in sensing pathogenic microorganisms and Toll activation was needed for successful defense against them.<br /><b>Bruce Beutler </b>was searching for a receptor that could bind the bacterial product, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which can cause septic shock, a life threatening condition that involves overstimulation of the immune system. In 1998, Beutler and his colleagues discovered that mice resistant to LPS had a mutation in a gene that was quite similar to the Toll gene of the fruit fly. This Toll-like receptor (TLR) turned out to be the elusive LPS receptor. When it binds LPS, signals are activated that cause inflammation and, when LPS doses are excessive, septic shock. These findings showed that mammals and fruit flies use similar molecules to activate innate immunity when encountering pathogenic microorganisms. The sensors of innate immunity had finally been discovered.<br />The discoveries of Hoffmann and Beutler triggered an explosion of research in innate immunity. Around a dozen different TLRs have now been identified in humans and mice. Each one of them recognizes certain types of molecules common in microorganisms. Individuals with certain mutations in these receptors carry an increased risk of infections while other genetic variants of TLR are associated with an increased risk for chronic inflammatory diseases.<br /><h3>A new cell type that controls adaptive immunity</h3>Ralph Steinman discovered, in 1973, a new cell type that he called the dendritic cell. He speculated that it could be important in the immune system and went on to test whether dendritic cells could activate T cells, a cell type that has a key role in adaptive immunity and develops an immunologic memory against many different substances. In cell culture experiments, he showed that the presence of dendritic cells resulted in vivid responses of T cells to such substances. These findings were initially met with skepticism but subsequent work by Steinman demonstrated that dendritic cells have a unique capacity to activate T cells.<br />Further studies by Steinman and other scientists went on to address the question of how the adaptive immune system decides whether or not it should be activated when encountering various substances. Signals arising from the innate immune response and sensed by dendritic cells were shown to control T cell activation. This makes it possible for the immune system to react towards pathogenic microorganisms while avoiding an attack on the body's own endogenous molecules.<br /><h3>From fundamental research to medical use</h3>The discoveries that are awarded the 2011 Nobel Prize have provided novel insights into the activation and regulation of our immune system. They have made possible the development of new methods for preventing and treating disease, for instance with improved vaccines against infections and in attempts to stimulate the immune system to attack tumors. These discoveries also help us understand why the immune system can attack our own tissues, thus providing clues for novel treatment of inflammatory diseases.<br /><h3>&nbsp;</h3><b>Bruce A.
