"We are the people.".......2005-03-06
Le culture completement lie.......2004-01-15
It Runs in the Cultures.......2003-03-24
In the southwest, life has always been about getting along with nature and people. One traditional way that southwestern cultures do this is through dance. Music sounds within the dancer. That energy joins the dancer to all creation. So the dancer becomes linked with human energy, such as ancestors and future generations.
The dancer also links to natural energy, such as rain clouds. This is why the Hopi rain dance brings rain. In fact, the Hopi say that their corn, grown unirrigated, and their way of life, in harmony with nature and people, will save the world. The Apache also got through war, reservation poverty, depression and censorship by drawing energy from community, nature, and prayers.
It should be no surprise, then, that a southwestern work of art has a link and use too. Pottery stands for the sacred earth bowl. Traditional designs keep the tie strong between past, present and future generations.
HERE, NOW, & ALWAYS comes out of an exhibition at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Along with artworks, such as beautifully useful basketry, pottery and weavings, there are also audios, videos and writings of southwesterners on ancestors, community, cycles of nature and people, and survival.
Southwesterners believe they didn't come from somewhere else. They've always been here first, right from the start, along the Colorado, Gila, Rio Grande, Salt and San Juan rivers. They'll also be the last. For example, the Hopi believe that the life of their people began at the Grand Canyon. That also will be their final spiritual home.

2008 Cyber Guide to U.S. Navy Guided Missile Frigates, Oliver Hazard Perry Class - plus AEGIS Combat System for Cruisers and Destroyers, Comprehensive Information and Photo Galleries (CD-ROM)
Department of Defense Manufacturer: Progressive Management ProductGroup: Book Binding: CD-ROM ASIN: 1422010082 |
Product Description
This up-to-date electronic book on CD-ROM has comprehensive coverage of the U.S. Navy's fleet of Oliver Hazard Perry-class guided missile frigates, with extensive photo galleries. In addition, it has complete coverage of the AEGIS Combat System for Cruisers and Destroyers. This extraordinary, encyclopedic collection contains more than 24,000 pages reproduced in Adobe Acrobat PDF files. FRIGATES - Frigates fulfill a Protection of Shipping (POS) mission as Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) combatants for amphibious expeditionary forces, underway replenishment groups and merchant convoys. The guided missile frigates (FFG) bring an anti-air warfare (AAW) capability to the frigate mission, but they have some limitations. Designed as cost efficient surface combatants, they lack the multi-mission capability necessary for modern surface combatants faced with multiple, high-technology threats. They also offer limited capacity for growth. Despite this, the FFG 7 class is a robust platform, capable of withstanding considerable damage. This "toughness" was aptly demonstrated when USS Samuel B. Roberts struck a mine and USS Stark was hit by two Exocet cruise missiles. In both cases the ships survived, were repaired and returned to the fleet. USS Stark was decommissioned in May 1999. The Surface Combatant Force Requirement Study does not define any need for a single mission ship such as the frigate and there are no frigates planned in the Navy's five-year shipbuilding plan. AEGIS - The Aegis system was designed as a total weapon system, from detection to kill. The heart of the system is an advanced, automatic detect and track, multi-function phased-array radar, the AN/SPY-1. This high powered (four megawatt) radar is able to perform search, track and missile guidance functions simultaneously with a track capacity of over 100 targets. The first Engineering Development Model (EDM-1) was installed in the test ship, USS Norton Sound (AVM 1) in 1973. The computer-based command and deci

The Transparent Society: Will Technology Force Us to Choose Between Privacy and Freedom?
David Brin Manufacturer: Perseus Books Group ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0738201448 |
Amazon.com
David Brin takes some of our worst notions about threats to privacy and sets them on their ears. According to Brin, there is no turning back the growth of public observation and inevitable loss of privacy--at least outside of our own homes. Too many of our transactions are already monitored: Brin asserts that cameras used to observe and reduce crime in public areas have been successful and are on the rise. There's even talk of bringing in microphones to augment the cameras. Brin has no doubt that it's only a matter of time before they're installed in numbers to cover every urban area in every developed nation.While this has the makings for an Orwellian nightmare, Brin argues that we can choose to make the same scenario a setting for even greater freedom. The determining factor is whether the power of observation and surveillance is held only by the police and the powerful or is shared by us all. In the latter case, Brin argues that people will have nothing to fear from the watchers because everyone will be watching each other. The cameras would become a public resource to assure that no mugger is hiding around the corner, our children are playing safely in the park, and police will not abuse their power.
No simplistic Utopian, Brin also acknowledges the many dangers on the way. He discusses how open access to information can either threaten or enhance freedom. It is one thing, for example, to make the entire outdoors public and another thing to allow the cameras and microphones to snoop into our homes. He therefore spends a lot of pages examining what steps are required to assure that a transparent society evolves in a manner that enhances rather than restricts freedom. This is a challenging view of tomorrow and an exhilarating read for those who don't mind challenges to even the most well-entrenched cultural assumptions. --Elizabeth Lewis
Book Description
A respected futurist advances an argument sure to cause debate-in a wired world, the best way to preserve our freedom will be to give up our privacyIn The Transparent Society, award-winning author David Brin details the startling argument that privacy, far from being a right, hampers the real foundation of a civil society: accountability. Using examples as disparate as security cameras in Scotland and Gay Pride events in Tucson, Brin shows that openness is far more liberating than secrecy and advocates for a society in which everyone (not just the government and not just the rich) could look over everyone else's shoulders. The biggest threat to our society, he warns, is that surveillance technology will be used by too few people not by too many.

The 2000 Import and Export Market for Dairy Products and Birds' Eggs in Oman (World Trade Report)
Dairy Products and Birds' Eggs Research , The Dairy Products , and Birds' Eggs Research Group Manufacturer: Icon Group International ProductGroup: Book Binding: Ring-bound ASIN: 0741888637 |
Book Description
On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on dairy products and birds' eggs in Oman face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying dairy products and birds' eggs to Oman? How important is Oman compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of dairy products and birds' eggs vary from one country of origin to another in Oman? On the supply side, Oman also exports dairy products and birds' eggs. Which countries receive the most exports from Oman? How are these exports concentrated across buyers? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers?This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for dairy products and birds' eggs in Oman. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact. Icon Group has developed a proprietary methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for dairy products and birds' eggs for those countries serving Oman via exports, or supplying from Oman via imports. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models.
