Good morning from Manila!
It seems the excitement in Iraq’s S&#38;T is moving to higher pitches, despite the noise and flames of the ensuing war there. The policy environment is getting to be more definitive, and a new state institution is being installed to address S&#38;T research and development needs of the country.

Magandang umaga! Good morning from Manila!
Africa seems to be the favorite destination today for aid funds from everywhere, most specially from European countries. We wonder whether this is Europe’s way of expiating its guilt over the European powers’ enslavement, plunder and colonization of Africa.

If I were a Nazi youth, I’d say “Hail Hitler! Hail cassava! Hail cassanova!”
You see, the “superior race” may have failed to distinguish between ‘cassava’ and ‘Cassanova’, that between the two it is the former that brings life, while the latter drains one of life (pardon me Cassanova, please!).
Who knows, cassava could be [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=erlefraynebrightworld.wordpress.com&blog=3664556&post=167&subd=erlefraynebrightworld&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
