Note from Veronica Varekova in Rwanda
What a day! This is one incredible experience....there is no TV show or Hollywood film that can provide what we are learning here. I feel so lucky to be here and touch with my own hands the reality of today's Rwanda. We had fantastic meeting with the Head Adviser of the President. Earlier today we went to visit the genocide memorial, there I nearly lost my lunch... So emotional. But what a brave country this is! Tomorrow we go to Virunga to see the mountain gorillas...:) xV.

The grip enjoyed by men on the Nobel Prize for Economics was broken at last yesterday when Elinor Ostrom, a professor at the University of Indiana, became the first woman to be honoured with the award.
Her win ensured that 2009 was a record-breaking Nobel year for women, with five female winners.
Professor Ostrom, 76, shares her prize with with a fellow American academic, Oliver Williamson, also 76, who teaches at the University of California, Berkeley. Both professors specialise in economic governance and the deployment of authority to resolve conflicts.
