> A few nights ago the Montreal Permaculture Guild  
> (montrealpermaculture.org) kicked off the Montreal Urban  
> Sustainability Education, or MUSE course.  The course is a year long  
> and covers everything from designing urban space to greywater  
> systems and seed-saving, as well as discussions and applications of  
> the social side of permaculture. It  includes a summer practicuum  
> where participants will be given the opportunity to implement some  
> of the theory that's shared over the winter and spring months. But  
> the most exciting part of this course is that it is bringing  
> together an entire community of people intent on actively caring for  
> the earth and for each other!

> A new program is being set up in England by which children from  
> underserved households will be given access to free instruments and  
> classical music training. The program is an echo of the Venezuelan  
> project, "El Sistema", which focused on providing musical training  
> to children from some of the poorest slums in Venezuela as an  
> alternative to violence and drug involvement. In Venezuela the  
> program was a huge success, resulting in the creation of the Simon  
> Bolivar Orchestra, as well as multiple other small music groups and  
> bands. The accessibility of music is said to have been a major  
> factor in transforming the social fabric of the country. It's hoped  
> that such will be the case in England as well

> years, making them much cheaper than disposables, as well as more  
> sustainable. These cloth pads are comfortable and absorbent, and  
> healthier than disposable ones.
