Extractions: In the wake of the Aceh peace accord , the Indonesian government has pledged to take a step in resolving its other regional conflict by installing a popular assembly in West Papua. The creation of such an assembly was mandated by a 2001 "special autonomy" law but has never been put into effect. Its installation will be a significant step in resolving the conflict - not least because it will provide Jakarta with an opposite number in further negotiations - but there are signs that the Indonesian government may not allow it to fulfill its originally intended purpose: Critics have said, however, that the government was buying time in setting up the MRP, as it appeared reluctant to give it wide-ranging powers as mandated by a 2001 Law on special autonomy for Papua [...] Under the 2001 Papuan Special Autonomy Law, the MRP is authorised to deal with various problems in the province, ranging from rampant human right abuses, to coping with the social, cultural and economic gaps being faced by its indigenous people. The assembly that will be inaugurated next month may prove to be one with scaled-down authority. In addition, the short time frame remaining before the assembly is installed - its swearing-in is scheduled for October 7 or 8 - indicates that it will be appointed rather than elected. As such, even if this legislature is granted all the powers it is supposed to have under the autonomy law, its members will likely represent Jakarta at least as much as the West Papuan people. The Indonesian government will have to do better if it plans on reaching a final settlement anytime soon.

"No amount of money in the world can persuade me to return to that sport," says DiBiase, now a preacher. When his contract with World Championship Wrestling expired, he left the sport completely. Despite remaining one of the sport's best-known personalities, having won three Team World Championships, he says "Wrestling has changed. Today, it is vulgar, without morals or values, and the wrestlers are a cross between entertainer and athlete." 45-year-old DiBiase now travels with 'Heart of David Ministries', speaking in churches and schools. "Ego, pride and money were the center of my life," he says. Today, he warns teenagers about the dangers of alcohol and drugs, and encourages them to "remain in school, set attainable goals and pay the price to become as good as possible".

Extractions: IMPERIALISM: An Angel from Heaven or A Devil from Hell? Trung Hoang the most powerful force in world history over the last four or five centuries, carving up whole continents while oppressing indigenous peoples and obliterating entire civilizations. . . . [is] the process whereby the dominant politico-economic interests of one nation expropriate for their own enrichment the land, labor, raw materials, and markets of another people. (1) What is Imperialism? Imperialism is defined in the encyclopedia as the extension of rule or influence by one government, nation, or society over another. Most imperialists claim that imperializing third world countries will enable them to be modernized and improve their development. However, most of imperialist forces were motivated by hidden agendas, such as to gain cheap labor, new territories, and, most importantly, raw materials. Is it true that the people from the underdeveloped countries are really underdeveloped? Will these people soon be extinct without the aid of the imperialists, or will they sink into chaos and poverty? According to Michael Parenti "people in third world countries do not need to be taught how to farm. They need the land and the implements to farm. They do not need to be taught how to fish. They need the boats and the nets and access to shore frontage, bays, and oceans. . . . They need to be given back their land and labor so that they might work for themselves and grow food for their own consumption."

Extractions: 10. Zambia The prospects for peace in Angola seem remote. The current crisis, which began in December 1998, continues despite calls for peace from international, religious and grassroots groups. Fighting between government and UNITA forces has been reported in most provinces during the reporting period and consequently the long-term humanitarian situation has not improved significantly. According to the OCHA database, approximately 2.5 million persons have been displaced since December 1998. Of these, more than one million people have been officially registered as IDPs by a UN agency or NGO. The IDPs are currently settled in 120 locations of which 36 remain inaccessible to the international community (OCHA - 18/06/00). Guerrilla activities persist in many parts of the country, perpetuating the prevailing insecurity among the population and considerably reducing the amount of humanitarian assistance that can be delivered by road. As a result most relief is delivered by airlifts, which are extremely expensive. Nutritional Situation An FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission to Angola in April indicated that cereal production is about 5% lower than last year, due mainly to unfavourable rain patterns, reduced access to land, and shortages of essential inputs. The mission, which visited every province where food aid is distributed, estimated that some 1.86 million people will require food aid in 2000-20001. The mission noted that although Angola used to be self-sufficient in major food crops, and even a net exporter of staples, the impact of the protracted civil war has reduced the country's total cereal production to less than 40% of the country's total requirement. This was felt to underscore the acute food insecurity of the populations, IDPs and residents alike (FAO/WFP - 17/05/00).

Although the Portuguese spoken in Portugal differs to some extent from the Portuguese current in Brazil, with reference to pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, the differences are not major. A distinctive phonetic feature of Portuguese is the nasalization of certain vowels and diphthongs, which can be indicated by a tilde (Ë) placed above the appropriate vowel. The acute (´) and circumflex (Ë) accents serve to make clear both stress and pronunciation and also to distinguish homonyms (for example, e âand,â but
