When Im doing quite a bit of qigong full-lotus meditation my hormones are converting to finer foces electromagnetic and Ive been strongly hit on by young girls! One time I was sitting on a bench by Lake of the Isles and a young girl broke away from her dad then kneeled with her hands praying to me. She rebuffed her dad and again broke away from him to sit staring at me for about 10 minutes. Other females older and near my age have done bizaare maneuvers in a frenzied state near me. I have neither predicted nor wanted these advanced but people are controlled by their hormones! And in the U.S. these magnetic boundaries of sound-vision are, whenever possible, directed into a commodified consumer fetish. The Undead Consciousness is most efficiently resonated as a slow wave frequency of high amplitude power like the Theta wave-REM state for dreaming.

Regional Differences Africa is the second largest continent (after Asia) and comprises more than 50 independent countries. The continent is home to more than 1,000 ethnic groups with as many different languages ( see African Languages). Differences in geography, politics, religion, and economics have shaped its numerous artistic traditions. Western and central Africa seem to have had stronger artistic traditions than the rest of the continent to the east and south. Good conditions for cultivating crops, a settled rather than nomadic population, and the existence of large kingdoms and city-states may have strengthened the impetus to create in this region. However, African societies that were not primarily agricultural also produced rich artistic and architectural traditions. Ways of life change, and scholars can sometimes trace changes in a society through its works of art. For example, the Chokwe people of Angola, in central Africa, created very dignified wooden statues of Chibinda Ilunga, a legendary hero who introduced a new hunting technique to them in the 1600s. The Chokwe are now farmers, but the honor accorded this figure in their art indicates that hunting must once have been central to their survival. Vigorous artistic traditions developed in many towns and city-states of western Africa, where trade was the driving economic force. Yet the presence of trade in parts of eastern and southern Africa did not produce artistic traditions of comparable importance.

Extractions: for the web version of this essay. Although courses on Africa have been part of the undergraduate curriculum in American colleges and universities for more than three decades, it is surprising how few materials have been written specifically for undergraduates. The resources included in this essay were written for undergraduates or are relatively accessible to them. The focus is on resources in English published or reissued since 1980, which cover the whole continent or sub-Saharan Africa, rather than individual countries. It is beyond the scope of this essay to provide resources specific to Africa's more than fifty nation-states. However, resources on South Africa have been included, since a chapter on South Africa is included in this volume. [p. 414] This essay is addressed to undergraduate students, librarians who select materials for undergraduate collections, and faculty who teach undergraduate courses. Accurate, up-to-date materials which could form a core collection for undergraduate libraries have been selected for inclusion in the essay. Sections on audiovisual and computer resources have been included, since they are as essential to curricula on Africa in the 1990s as are print resources.

The carving shows a wide-eyed, nude, young female at the top and, below her, a twisting serpent, a symbol of protection in most traditional African cultures. The curved grip, recalling an umbrella handle, shows this stick has some colonial European influence. In excellent condition, it measures 35"L. Circa 1950. The ovoid-shaped hat, made of the owner's hair clippings mixed with a resinous, organic binder pasted onto a textile, then carefully covered with brass sheeting, showing a fine, softly worn patina overall. Although worn by a male of mature age, the top of this headpiece recalls the shape of female genitalia. From the Lotuxo people of Sudan, Africa.

Extractions: The term bilingual (or multilingual) can be used in various ways. In reference to an individual, it generally means someone who speaks two languages (or more, in the case of a multilingual person). When used in reference to groups of people or countries, it may describe a situation where people speaking different languages live in the same political or social unit. Obviously, this situation exists around the world. Examples of officially bilingual countries are Canada and Belgium. Multilingual contries include Singapore, South Africa, and Switzerland. As a result, we can say that a person is bilingual (speaks two languages) or is multilingual (speaks multiple languages, also called polygolt). Or we can say that a country is bilingual or multilingual. There have been a number of studies on bilingual people by various linguists and other social scientists. I will focus here on some of the legal issues presented by bilingualism. Like Sweden, almost all western European nations are linguistically diverse not just because of recent immigration; most contain indigenous minorities as well. Great Britain, for instance, has remnants of Celtic languages which were once spoken throughout the British isles: Scottish, Welsh, and Irish Gaelic, as well as Cornish and Manx, which are severely threatened or have died out in relatively recent times. Germany has a Sorbian (or Wendish) speaking minority in the east, and Frisian speakers in the north (Frisian is closely related to English). The Netherlands, whose official language is Dutch, also has around half a million Frisian speakers. Both Germany and the Netherlands have substantial immigrant communities, who speak eastern and southern European, as well as north African, languages.

Extractions: Colono Ware is concentrated in certain areas of the Southeast. Much of the Colono Ware in the United States comes from Florida, from Spanish-Native American settlements, and from South Carolina, from plantation contexts. Colono Ware from Virginia and Maryland occurs less often, and Colono Ware is rarely found in Georgia (Ferguson 1992b:36-37). Scholars theorize that the lack of Colono Ware in Georgia is due to the different origins of slaves brought there, possibly from African locations where there was little history of pottery making (William H. Adams, 1995, pers. comm.), or the fact that slavery began later in Georgia. In Virginia, European forms of Colono Ware such as plates, pipkins, teapots, and chamber pots are common (Ferguson 1992b:44-48). Much of the Virginia Colono Ware was burnished, apparently to give it a smooth, thin appearance. Attached handles and notching, scalloping, and fluting on vessel rims are all reminiscent of the decorative techniques found on imported European ceramics (Ferguson 1992b:52). Evidence for plantation manufacture of Colono Ware in Virginia is rare, suggesting that much of it was manufactured by Native Americans and traded. However, Ferguson (1992b:49-50) cautions that African Americans were present in many Native American communities, and their influence on pottery should not be discounted. Other Colono Wares, sometimes called

On this day, the first meeting of the leaders of the Islamic world was held. In March 1970, in Jeddah, the First Islamic Conference of Ministers of Foreign Affairs set up a permanent General Secretariat to ensure a liaison and coordinated action among Member States. The Conference appointed its Secretary General and chose Jeddah as the Headquarters of the Organization, pending the liberation of Jerusalem, which would be the permanent Headquarters. In February 1972, the Islamic Conference of Foreign Ministers, meeting in its Third Session, adopted the Charter of the Organization, whose purpose is to strengthen solidarity and cooperation among Islamic States in the political, economic, cultural, scientific and social fields.

Test Your Knowledge [ Misconceptions Today ] Art of Mali Songhai Empire Senufo Ancestor Dogon Ancestor ... Early History of Africa Background information on Africa Africa . Third Edition. Indiana: Indiana University Press. Martin and O'Meara (1995) dispel any misconceptions one might have about Africa today. They present the reader with an objective perspective on the problems facing Africans today: the diversity, the conflicts, and the changesall a result of Western interference. Africa, more that three times the size of the United States, includes fifty- three very diverse countries and a population of about 700 million people. Africans are divided not only by boundaries, which did not exist prior to colonization, but also by ethnic identities, class distinctions, urban and rural experiences, geographic barriers, and vast distances. Population varies widely (Gabon- one million; Nigeria- 115 million). Ways of life vary dramatically. Some live in cities and work in offices or skyscrapers, buy clothes from department stores and have all of the modern conveniences- yet may travel to the rural areas for traditional festivals, to see healers or to visit extended families. Rural community members may seldom visit the cities, may walk miles for water in the dry season, and listen to transistor radios as they welcome a relative back from graduate studies overseas.
