The Nobel-prize winning Russian writer Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn has died at the age of 89. He passed away in Moscow in the early hours of Monday. It is believed he died of a stroke.

The Nobel Peace Prize Concert was held in Oslo 11th December in honour of the 2003 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Shirin Ebadi. The concert was hosted by Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas.

Deux parlementaires suisses, Mesdames Gisèle Ory, conseillère aux Etats, et Francine John-Calame, conseillère nationale proposent le prix Nobel de la paix 2008 pour l'Association universelle d'espéranto (Universala Esperanto-Asocio, UEA).

British writer Doris Lessing on Thursday won the Nobel Literature Prize for five decades of epic novels that have covered feminism and politics, as well her youth in Africa.

Lessing, who will be 88 on October 22, is only the 11th woman to have won the prize since it was first awarded in 1901.

The Swedish Academy described her as "that epicist of the female experience who with scepticism, fire and visionary power has subjected a divided civilisation to scrutiny."

Lessing was out shopping when the prize was announced and only learned the news several hours later when she returned to her London home, where she was met by a throng of journalists.

"This has been going on for 30 years," said Lessing who put down her shopping bag and sat on her doorstep, head in her hand, after being told of the award by the waiting photographers.

"I've won all the prizes in Europe, every bloody one, so I'm delighted to win them all. It's a royal flush," she said.

Lessing, whose work has covered a multitude of topics, has over the years been mentioned as a possible Nobel laureate but she was not seen as among the frontrunners this year.

Although "The Golden Notebook", her best known work, established her as a feminist icon back in 1962, she has consistently refused the label and says her writing does not play a directly political role.

Nonetheless, for the Nobel jury, "the burgeoning feminist movement saw it as a pioneering work and it belongs to the handful of books that informed the 20th century view of the male-female relationship."

Born Doris May Taylor in Khermanshah, in what is now Iran, on October 22, 1919, Lessing spent her formative years on a farm in Southern Rhodesia, what is now Zimbabwe, where her British parents moved in 1925.

It was, she later reflected, a "hellishly lonely" upbringing. In "Africa Laughter: Four Visits to Zimbabwe", published in 1992, she describes going back in 1982 to the country where she had grown up.

Unsurprisingly, she could not wait to escape and in 1939 married Frank Wisdom, by whom she had two children before their divorce in 1943.

She then married a German political activist named Gottfried Lessing, but divorced again in 1949, when she fled to Britain with her young son and the manuscript of her first novel, "The Grass Is Singing."

A searing examination of racial oppression and colonialism, it was published the following year to rapid success.

Her radical political affinities drew her into the British Communist Party, but she resigned in 1956 at the time of the Hungarian uprising, never to return.

Her "Children of Violence" series of novels, published between 1952 and 1969 around a central character named Martha Quest, first established her credentials as both a writer and a feminist.

"I wasn't an active feminist in the 1960s, never have been," she has since insisted. "I never liked the movement because it's too ideologically based. All sorts of claims were made for me that simply weren't true."

In the 1980s, with her popularity in brief decline, she decided to test the importance of a name in publishing, and submitted a novel under a pseudonym, only to find it rejected. It was later published, when she revealed her true identity.

Over the years, she became an increasingly outspoken critic of Africa, particularly the corruption and embezzlement by governments.

She was barred entry to South Africa in 1956, but was finally able to revisit in 1995, after the fall of apartheid.

Her novel "The Good Terrorist" (1985), about an immature young woman who joins a terrorist cell, has strong echoes today.

In recent years Lessing, who lives in the London suburb of Hampstead, has also written several works of science fiction.

She is also probably one of the oldest people anywhere to have her own page on the popular social networking web site MySpace.

On a recent visit the site announced, under the label "Female - 87 years old," that "Doris Lessing has 136 friends."

Last year, the Nobel Literature Prize went to Turkish author Orhan Pamuk.

Lessing has won a number of awards and prizes, including the Prix Medicis in 1976 and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in 1995.

She will receive a Nobel gold medal, a diploma and 10 million Swedish kronor from the hands of Sweden's King Carl XVI Gustaf at a formal ceremony in Stockholm on December 10, the anniversary of the 1896 death of Alfred Nobel, the founder of the Nobel prizes.

The Nobel peace prize will be announced on Friday.

National League for Democracy (NLD)

Aung San Suu Kyi

I am very humbly requesting any fellow youtubers out there if they will take it upon themselves to make their own video to continue to increase awareness, to share it with everyone, because I truly believe there is strength in numbers. It doesn't have to be anything fancy. It can be short and simple.

Knowing she's been imprisoned for years, and for no reason It's cruel and pitiful that she stay confined when she knew her husband was very ill. She was not able to be by his side when he died of cancer, but I know in my heart they were both in each other's thoughts and souls during Michael's last days of life. I'm sure they both were in one another's minds and hearts every single day.

Write a school paper on her if you are allowed to pick the person. To any teachers out there -- Please have one day of awareness, teaching your students about what democracy is, how precious freedoms are. Introduce your students to Aung San Suu Kyi. Have the students write letters for her. She represents freedom, democracy, elegance and grace.

Fight the good fight, and this is one of those good "fights".

Aung San Suu Kyi is about 62 years old now. She's done absolutely nothing wrong. She is a graceful, humble, decent caring human

There are no regular visiting hours for her.

Than Shwe is Burma's leader of one of the world's most BRUTAL regimes.

Than Shwe should not be in power. He lost the election.

Perhaps the person that replaces him will show the world what a great leader is by freeing Suu Kyi, and all of the political prisoners. This will be a man history will look back on with fondness, a leader the people of Myanmar (and the world) will respect.

Last month she celebrated her birthday, isolated.

I can't help but think about her sons, how they worry about her and hurt for her. This is their mother, and she's been unjustly imprisoned, for years. I think about if that were my mother or my father, wrongfully imprisoned.

This video has been honored in the past. It was humbling.

CHAN:
Burma dissident and Nobel Peace Prize Winner Aung San Suu Kyi is about to mark her 13th year under house arrest. Not exactly an anniversary to celebrate. Here's the full report.

STORY:
The prisoner of conscience Ms. Suu Kyi, will mark her 13th year under house arrest on Friday.

Suu Kyi, who is general secretary of Burma's opposition party, the National League for Democracy (NLD), is confined to her home in Rangoon and requires official permission, granted rarely, to receive visitors.

[Debbie Stothard, Alternative Asean Network On Burma]:
"Even under the repressive law of the military regime, it appears that the regime itself may have broken their own laws in insisting, in continuing to detain Aung San Suu Kyi. So, her lawyers have been trying to appeal."

Suu Kyi's party the NLD won the 1990 general election by a landslide but the ruling military junta refused to honor the results. The junta just extended her house arrest by another six months in May.

[Debbie Stothard, Alternative Asean Network On Burma]:
"Definitely, the military regime will not be interested in releasing her unless they are guaranteed power in perpetuity. And they are hoping that the election that they hold and control and manipulate in 2010 will give them that opportunity."

Suu Kyi was allowed to meet several times with U.N. envoy Ibrahim Gambari after the junta cracked down on monk-led protests in September 2007. But in August this year, she refused to meet with Gambari who attempted to meet her for a fourth time.

Suu Kyi's snub of Gambari fueled speculation she was fed up with not just the lack of meaningful dialogue between her party and the junta, but what might be described as the United Nations' soft approach to Burma and the handling of the Cyclone Nargis disaster.

Author Orhan Pamuk has gained international recognition for his compelling works of fiction. A Nobel Laureate, Pamuk has been honored with more than a dozen literary awards and has had his work translated into more than 40 languages. Series: Voices [5/2008] [Humanities] [Show ID: 13675]

The Constituent Assembly adopted the Indian national anthem from a song written
and composed by the Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore on January 24, 1950.
Before this Vande Mataram written by Bankim Chandra Chattapadhya
was the National Anthem of India.
Later Constituent Assembly of India,( Vol.XII, 24-1-1950) opined:
"The composition consisting of words and music known as Janaganamana
is the National Anthem of India, subject to such alterations
as the Government may authorise as occasion arises, ..."

Only the first of the five stanzas was designated as the anthem.
The anthem goes:

Jaana Gaana Maana Adhinayaka Jayehe
Bharata bhagya vidhata;
Punjaba Sindhu Gujarata Maratha,
Dravida Utkala Banga,
Vindhya, Himachala, Jamuna, Ganga,
Ucchhala Jaladhitaranga;
Taba Shubha Naame Jaage
Taba Shubha Ashish Maage
Gaye taba jaya gaatha.
Jaana Gaana Maana Adhinayaka Jayahe
Bharata bhagya vidhata;
Jaya he Jaye he
Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya he.

Thou art the ruler of the minds of all people,
Dispenser of India's destiny.
Thy name rouses the hearts of the Punjab,
Sind, Gujarat, and Maratha,
Of the Dravid, and Orissa and Bengal.
It echoes in the hills of Vindhyas and,
Himalayas, mingles in the music of the
Jamuna and the Ganges and is chanted by
the waves of the Indian sea.
The pray for the blessings,
and sing by the praise,
The saving of all people
waits in thy hand.
Thou dispenser of India's destiny,
Victory, victory, victory to thee.

A Transforming Power story from the film, Beyond Rangoon. In Burma, Aung San Suu Kyi, Nobel Peace laureate, nonviolently faces the guns of government troops during a protest.
I've began a project which involves collecting Transforming Power stories on video. Transforming Power stories are about conflicted, harmful, and/or potentially violent situations that have been resolved nonviolently. Transforming Power (TP) is the central principle used in Alternatives to Violence Project (AVP) workshops, and is the power that can transform and de-escalate harmful conflict situations. If you know of a YouTube video, or a movie or other video that includes a TP story, please let me know. If you would like more info about AVP go to http://www.avpusa.org/ or http://www.avpcalifornia.org/index.php.
