Nobel Prize winners to visit Buffalo

With the spring reading season more or less behind us--this month's "If All Buffalo Read the Same Book" project featuring Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God is the last major component of high profile literary programming before the relaxed pace of summer -- interesting news comes from Just Buffalo Literary Center's Artistic Director Michael Kelleher.

He tells of a major series of events featuring four major figures in World Literature visiting Buffalo for one day residencies beginning this November and extending through April of 2008.

The series, called "Babel," is co-sponsored by Just Buffalo, Talking Leaves Books and Hallwalls, and will focus exclusively on International (i.e., non-American) authors whose works are noteworthy for their broad and humanistic global vision. Just Buffalo plans to do "If All Of Buffalo Read The Same Book," projects around each author's visit in the month prior to their arrival.  Here's the lineup, along with the book titles that will be featured in the reading project:

November 8: Orhan Pamuk, Turkey, 2006 Nobel Prize Winner, Snow
December 7: Ariel Dorfman, Argentina/Chile, Death and the Maiden
March 13: Derek Walcott, St. Lucia, 1992 Nobel Prize Winner, Selected Poems
April 24, Kiran Desai, India, 2006 Man Booker Prize Winner, The Inheritance of Loss

This will be a subscription series and tickets for selected events--which will take place at Hallwalls and The Church on Delaware Avenue--in all four visits will be available later this summer from Just Buffalo.  A press conference is planned for next month to announce details, including the awarding of a grant of $323,000 from Buffalo's Oishei Foundation to underwrite the series over the next three years.

I am a chinese,
I agree with you!

I am engaged with research work on the theoretical and applied physics. I have been trying to found a new horizon of physics. Recently I have proved that "Energy is created newly by particle and matter in every where, Energy’s conservation law is fault". But here are many problems in Bangladesh. I wish to establish of my research work and Invention.

Anyway, recently I have also invented a new generating machine which is able to active by cell as an engine of any Motor (car, bus, truck).

Parts of my generating machine:
A) The motor/generator: The motor/generator of that Machine is running by cell (like battery).In this Machine there is applied new coiling system and new winding system.

B) Positive hole: There is produce and newly create excessive energy by positive hole and generator, that two device could be done fulfill of major loss of energy of cell.

C) Capacity controller: Capacity controller the permanent magnets within the capacity controller, arranged such a way that it eases the flow of the electric current. It creates excess energy.

D) Cell (like battery): The cell made by new system.
The system is, copper coiling and core uses. The cell is able to store much quantity electric charge and for long time. The cell is related to capacity controller, positive hole and generator.

Activity of this machine: One hour electric charging Servicing 500km
(Car) speed 100km/hour

I have been doing research work on Theoretical and Applied Physics. I have not completed doctorate. But, I have written a copy of book of many new fundamental
ideas of all Physics and Astrophysics. I strongly confident the book after publishing maximum problems would be solved by the book. Such as, problems in Newtonians mechanics, real event of Maxwell’s electro magnetism, problems of Quantum Theory & Quantum mechanics, problems in the Special and General Theory of relativity of Einstein, problems in modern idea of particle Physics, Salam’s conception, problems of
Stephan Hocking’s idea, maximum problems of physics will be solved by the book.
So, I have needed a Research job opportunity.
