Описание:
When Japan transitioned from 264 years of rule under the military-led Tokugawa Shogunate to the restoration of imperial power during the Meiji era, it embarked on a path of rapid modernization. This modernization came at an enormous cost, a cost that was borne primarily by the already repressed members of Japan's society - the impoverished rural women, the female factory laborers, and the sex industry workers.
Born during the latter part of the Meiji era, a former geisha and prostitute, Abe Sada was elevated to celebrity status after committing the most heinous crime in 20th century Japan. After being convicted and imprisoned for strangling and emasculating her lover with a kitchen knife, she became the subject of countless articles, books, and movies. Although she remains very famous in Japan, not much is known about her life outside of Japan except for what was depicted in the sexploitation film In the Realm of the Senses. Of the countless works produced about her, very few have dared to faithfully examine her life or to discuss the series of tragic events which pushed her to commit the crime.
In Nickname: Flower of Evil, you are invited to travel back to the newly modernized, male-dominated, misogynistic, post-Tokugawa era in Japan, where women were deprived of their economic independence, subjected to the will of the household heads, and sold into the sex industry. This was the world into which Abe Sada was born, raised, and forced to survive.

Описание:
"How could I have lived and worked in the presence of the brilliant and caring young man called Ibrahima Amadou Niang (we called him Ibou, in great affection) and not know that I was rubbing shoulders with a great young poet? Because we talked about everything except the essential? Now the essential is here in these fierce and moving and often haunting poems speaking of love and travels and sadness and compassion - for people and for pelicans - and sometimes of anger. The love is deep and nuanced, the way with words is scintillating and apt and impressive way beyond what one would expect from a young wordsmith, and the anger can only be that of a profoundly committed poet. I am privileged to have seen these poems and to be allowed to say: I know this man. His heart is strong and nimble. He does pride to his ancestors. He takes his place among the finest voices of his country. And be sure - he will go far." - Breyten Breytenbach, author of Windcatcher (2007), Voice Over: A Nomadic Conversation with Mahmoud Darwish (2009), Catalects (Artefacts for the slow uses of dying) (2012) etc.

You may call `truth` by any name but the source is singular. In the propagation of truthfulness and veracity, there is no uniqueness. Instead, there will be a repetition and with persistence. Something which is new will provide a delightful novelty, but the truth is exceptionally singular and is eternal. From where it will provide newness and novelty in its presentation and declaration? It is bound to be repetitive. Sowing the same seed in different climates, again and again, expecting that the soil might accept it someday and shoot up to be a lush green plant yielding plenty of fruits. In the Holy Quran, we find a single subject or a topic often repeated. One should ponder upon and try to explore the reason for such reiteration. It is stated... oUo¸Uo±U` UÆ’UZUSU`UUZ UUouUZo±U`UUU oU„U`o¢USUZooªU o«UU...U`UZ U‡UU...U` USUZouU`o¯UUUUˆUUZ BEHOLD, HOW WE PUT FORTH OUR SIGNS IN DIVERSE FORMS, AND YET THEY TURN AWAY FROM THEM.

Описание: <em>Connecting the Disconnected</em> presents the findings of the field research designed to evaluate financial practices and strategies among urban and rural Bhutanese households. The study was commissioned in 2012 by the Royal Monetary Authority of Bhutan and the World Bank to provide qualitative evidence to the country's Financial Inclusion Policy. The book explores where, how, and why different demographic groups save, borrow, send remittances, and insure themselves; it also evaluates the potential for innovations to extend financial inclusion. <br><br>Analysis of results from focus group discussions and in-depth interviews reveals three key patterns: Bhutan is a cash-based economy where households have a vibrant, if informal, savings and lending culture; rural areas are particularly underserved by formal financial services; and women and youth represent an untapped market segment.<br><br>The book reveals a demand for financial services with less complex and time-consuming banking procedures than are currently offered-in particular, small, periodic savings and loan services; more accessible deposit and withdrawal services; and flexible loan requirements. In response to the demand for saving locally and in small amounts, group savings schemes and cooperatives are slowly emerging in Bhutan. These could serve rural communities until households become integrated into the formal financial system, though support and capacity building will be critical to ensure that savings are protected.<br><br>Households struggle with banks' requirements and procedures and turn instead to informal lenders. Even households with some access to the formal financial sector continue to use informal financing. The findings highlight a need for formal microfinance services providing small group and individual loans with flexible repayments.<br><br>Savings strategies and attitudes suggest that Bhutanese households could benefit from financial literacy education. More effective consumer protection is also needed. For instance, dispute resolution that is easily accessed would increase trust in the financial sector.<br><br>Also, the spread of mobile phone banking has been constrained by the limited mobile banking technology in use and low English-language literacy. However, the widespread use of mobile phones suggests that innovative technology could create new opportunities. Other innovative strategies worth considering include branchless banking to improve financial access in remote areas.<br><br>Finally, use of insurance services appears to be limited by a lack of knowledge. Remittances are used to send money both within Bhutan and abroad, but many rural communities lack access to formal remittance services and must rely instead on informal-and often expensive-options.
