  • Smart Villages in West Africa: Accra Regional Workshop Report
    Smart Villages in West Africa: Accra regional workshop report Workshop Report 20 May 2016 ACCRA, GHANA Key words: West Africa, Energy Access, Rural Development, Off-grid energy Smart Villages We aim to provide policymakers, donors, and development agencies concerned with rural energy access with new insights on the real barriers to energy access in villages in developing countries— technological, financial and political—and how they can be overcome. We have chosen to focus on remote off-grid villages, where local solutions (home- or institution-based systems and mini-grids) are both more realistic and cheaper than national grid extension. Our concern is to ensure that energy access results in development and the creation of “smart villages” in which many of the benefits of life in modern societies are available to rural communities. www.e4sv.org | [email protected] | @e4SmartVillages CMEDT – Smart Villages Initiative, c/o Trinity College, Cambridge, CB2 1TQ Publishing © Smart Villages 2016 The Smart Villages Initiative is being funded by the Cambridge Malaysian Education and Development Trust (CMEDT) and the Malaysian Commonwealth Studies Centre (MCSC) and through a grant from the Templeton World Charity Foundation (TWCF).

  • Arlo Parks - Black Dog Episode 210
    Song Exploder Arlo Parks - Black Dog Episode 210 Hrishikesh: You’re listening to Song Exploder, where musicians take apart their songs, and piece by piece, tell the story of how they were made. My name is Hrishikesh Hirway. Before this episode starts, I want to let you know that the song being discussed is about someone who is alive and well today, but was going through a period of depression and anxiety. Both the song and the interview allude to suicide, so please be careful before listening. If you’re thinking about suicide, or if you have a friend who is, or if you just need someone to talk to right now, you can get support by calling the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or by texting HOME to 741-741, which is the Crisis Text Line. If you’re outside of the U.S., check out the list of international hotlines at suicide.org. I’ll link to all of this on the Song Exploder website and in the episode show notes. (“Black Dog” by Arlo Parks) Hrishikesh: Arlo Parks is a singer and songwriter from London. In January 2021, she released her debut album, Collapsed in Sunbeams. It hit number three on the UK charts, and she won this year’s BRIT award for Breakthrough Artist. Last year, NME called her song “Black Dog” the year’s “most devastating song.” In this episode, she breaks down “Black Dog,” which she made with producer Gianluca Buccellati. Arlo: But I call him Luca. Hrishikesh: Here’s Arlo Parks on Song Exploder.

  • Parks Goes Deep on Retro-Soul Album
    ARAB TIMES, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 2021 NEWS/FEATURES 13 People & Places Books ‘Blood Grove’ grips readers An ode to strength, ferocity of mothers By Molly Sprayregen he Four Winds,’ by Kristin Hannah (St. Mar- ‘Ttin’s Press) It’s 1921 in Texas, and 25-year-old Elsa Wolcott is considered by her own parents to be an ugly, unmarri- able spinster. Elsa’s family is wealthy, but she is hor- ribly unhappy. She dreams of a life where she is loved and where she also feels brave. One day, Elsa becomes entangled with a young man named Rafe, who she is forced to marry when he gets her pregnant and her parents disown her. They build a comfortable life and family together on Rafe’s family farm. But then the Great Depression hits, and so does the Dust Bowl. The family is broke and miserable, and it falls to Elsa to fend for her two children. It breaks Elsa’s heart to abandon the land she loves, but as the dust storms worsen, she knows the family must leave. They travel to California in search of a better life, but there, they fi nd even more hardship, even more poverty. Through it all, Elsa refuses to stop fi ghting for her family — no matter what. Hannah “The Four Winds” by Kris- tin Hannah is a captivating, heartbreaking tale of a family who will do anything for each other — and everything to survive. The strength of Hannah’s prose brings the characters to life in a way that will make you unable to tear yourself away from them.
