Extractions: The second part of the argument is that the claim is inconsistent with our current understanding of how language arises. In essence, if language is innate, if it is generated in an "organ" in the brain, then what that organ does is create symbols. Those symbols are universal; everyone has them. We think in that universal language. The particular language that we speak is merely a translation of that internal language.
African Masks African peoples often symbolize death by the colour white rather than Having conquered the indigenous peoples, the Lunda gradually assimilated with them http://www.vub.ac.be/BIBLIO/nieuwenhuysen/african-art/african-art-collection-mas
Extractions: (of variable age, artistic quality, and degree of authenticity) Many African societies see masks as mediators between the living world and the supernatural world of the dead, ancestors and other entities. Masks became and still become the attribute of a dressed up dancer who gave it life and word at the time of ceremonies. The sculptor begins by cutting a piece of wood and leaving it to dry in the sun; if it cracks, it cannot be used for a mask. African sculptors see wood as a complex living material and believe each piece can add its own feature to their work. Having made certain the wood is suitable, the sculptor begins, using an azde to carve the main features, a chisel to work on details and a rough leaf to sand the piece.

Monica Udvardy follows Katana from his mud-walled house to the outskirts of his homestead. The old man stops in front of two elaborately carved wooden posts that embody the spirits of his dead brothers. Strips of blue, red and white cloth, tied around the neck of the abstract human forms, sway in the wind. Udvardy lifts the camera to her eye, unaware that this click of the shutter will bring about her transformation from anthropologist to crusader against global traffic in East African "art." This transformation does not happen overnight. It is a long journey, with stops along the way in Africa, where she conducts firsthand research on gender roles, in University of Kentucky classrooms, where she teaches 400 students each fall, and at professional conferences, where she presents the results of her research. It was at one such conference in 1999 that Udvardy had her eureka moment. B orn in Canada, to Finnish-Swedish and Hungarian parents, Udvardy grew up speaking Swedish. So after getting her master's in anthropology at the University of California at Santa Barbara, a move to Sweden just made sense.

Extractions: Die Suid-Afrikaanse Krygshistoriese Vereniging Military History Journal - Vol 6 No 5 Col A W Durnford by S. Bourquin From his service in South Africa over a broken period of eight years, the impression which emerges of Anthony William Durnford is that of a colourful, yet controversial figure. Loved and esteemed by many, grossly maligned by others, his life-story reveals an intriguing mixture of happiness and sadness, of success and misfortune, of heroism and tragedy. He once described himself as 'the best hated man in Natal'; but whereas some might curse and revile him, his personal attributes, his integrity and character remained unassailable. The historian Froude said of him: 'I have rarely met a man who, at first sight, made a more pleasing impression upon me. He was more than I expected . . . He has done the State good service. He alone did his duty when others forgot theirs'. Durnford came from an illustrious military family which had sent generations of its sons into the service. He was born on 24 May 1830, at Manor Hamilton, Ireland, the eldest son of Gen E.W. Durnford, Colonel Commandant, Royal Engineers. He had a younger brother, Edward, who became a lieutenant-colonel in the Royal Marine Artillery. Although he received some schooling in Ireland, he was educated mainly at Dusseldorf in Germany, where he stayed with his maternal uncle, J.T. Langley. On his return to England Durnford entered the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich and in 1848 obtained a commission as a second lieutenant in the Royal Engineers. In October 1851, he embarked for Ceylon which was to become his home for the next five years. Stationed at Trincomalee, he gave so much assistance to Admiral Sir F Pellew in regard to the defences of the harbour that his services rendered were brought to the notice of the Master-General of the Ordnance by the Lords of the Admiralty. Two years after his arrival he was instrumental in saving the harbour defence installations from destruction by fire. In addition to his military duties he was subsequently encumbered with certain civil duties, being appointed Assistant Commissioner of Roads and Civil Engineer to the Colony.

Extractions: Traditional western dance forms of ballet, jazz, tap and hip-hop are fairly standard on television and in other media. The dance forms of indigenous peoples are relatively infrequent subjects for the mass media and are rarely presented as a universal, cross-cultural phenomenon. When presented in this fashion, dance can serve as a 'cultural mirror' for students concerning their own ethnic diversity, helping them honor each other's unique cultural make-up. Gusti Ayu Sri Armini started at age eight in her native village of Ubad, Bali. Trained in both the Peliatan and Den Parsar Styles, Ayu is a featured soloist with the Sanggha Semara Ratih (a worid-famous gamelan ensemble of Balinese dancers and musicians). Ayu has more than eleven dances in her teaching and performing repertory, including: Pendet, Legong, Cendrawasih, Teruna Jaya and Oleg Tambulilingan. Because of Ayu's pure dance style and technique, the Indonesian consulate hand selected her to come to New York to represent her country's rich cultural dance tradition. Ayu is currently a guest artist and teacher with BALAM DANCE THEATRE in New York City.

The President History (Sites open in a separate window) The religions in Nigeria are roughly 36% Christian, 56% Muslim, and about 8% 'everything else', including traditional religions and beliefs. There are a number of different traditional religions available. They usually are specific to the different ethnic groups, and the deities are usually the gods and goddesses that the ethnic group believes in, and each ethnic group had a shrine dedicated to the deities that it believed in. The deities ranged from those who created the earth, to those who offer divine protection and/or blessings to it's worshippers, to those who had control over certain aspects of the world (like weather or war), to spirits that can be somewhat controlled by human beings. Most of these religions did not have written documentation of their beliefs and practices, but they did rely on a priest to teach them and to intervene on their behalf, and the priests were usually very highly trained for this, to the extent of being raised for this task sometimes.

Extractions: « June 2005 Main August 2005 » Allegations are surfacing in the independent Zimbabwean media that certain ZANU candidates were bankrolled by white commercial farmers during the recent general election campaign - something that isn't unprecedented or wrong in itself, but is somewhat curious in light of the party's rhetoric: The ruling Zanu PF party has been quick to accuse the opposition MDC of receiving financial support from white commercial farmers and interpreting this as evidence of lack of patriotism. In fact the footage of white farmers signing cheques at an MDC rally in 2000 has continually been used as a campaign gambit by Zanu PF. Documents in the hands of the Zimbabwe Independent show that Policy Implementation minister Shamu was bankrolled to the tune of $44 million in diesel and petrol supplies as well as transport to implement his campaign. He proceeded to win the election. The reason for these contributions is obvious: they amount to protection money. There are relatively few commercial farmers in Zimbabwe who have avoided confiscation, and those who remain are hoping to recreate the 1980s arrangement in which they received favorable treatment in return for financial support. At least one of the ZANU candidates has reportedly "promised to protect the farmers' properties from rogue elements that might want to forcibly take them over." Given their small numbers and the expiration of Lancaster House protection, it seems unlikely that the commercial farmers will be able to restore anywhere near the level of symbiosis that existed in the 1980s, but ZANU is apparently willing to promise support for their money even while it condemns the opposition as traitors for doing the same.

It is not like a hole in a wall where a mouse slips through, solid and crisp and leading from somewhere to someplace. It is rather like a hole in the heart, an amorphous and edgeless void. It is a heartfelt absence, a blank space where something is missing, a large and obvious blind spot in our understanding of the universe. That missing something, strange to say, is a grasp of nothing itself. Understanding nothing matters, because nothing is the all-important background upon which everything else happens." K.C.

Extractions: My dad was born in Sprague, near Spokane. I was born in Mount Vernon, north of Seattle. For dart material, I would look in canyons and heavily wooded areas, places where saplings have to grow straight up a long distance in order to get sunlight. Anything which is long, skinny and reasonably straight (no kinks) will work. Growing location is probably as important as species. The Australian Aborigines sometimes had to splice two or three pieces together in order to get something long enough. Use a lap joint with an angle of 5 degrees (1 in 10) or less. Glue it and bind it with sinew or string and add more glue to the binding. Regards, I have an Osage stave I am shaping for a selfbow. Both ends bend slightly. One left of grain and one right of grain. Can I use localized steaming to bring these ends back in line with the riser of the bow or should I steam the entire stave? Also, how long should I let the bow dry before I resume forming the limbs?
