Some commentators have interpreted these styles as an accommodation to the Islamic domination of the area, but this is probably not an adequate explanation since Islam in West Africa has either merely tolerated or actually destroyed such traditions while exerting other influences.

Such population movement has been a source of productivity and growth, cultural diversity and international tourist attraction, as well as socio-political advances and setbacks. As part of this document, an article published in the Journal of Democracy, (2001(July), Vol. 12, no. 3, pp.63-72) in which I explain the persistence of the ethnic factor in national politics is attached. First, the U.S. should support the spirit of the Linas-Marcoussis Agreement signed by nine participating political parties and rebel groups on January 24, 2003. The discussions leading to the Agreement were witnessed by representatives of several African states, international financial institutions ( (World Bank, IMF) and global and regional organizations (UN, EU, AU, ECOWAS) The roundtable was held after the failure of the current regime led by President Gbagbo to respond to interventions by African heads of state and ECOWAS mediation. President Jacques Chirac and his government should be praised for accepting to intervene, both militarily to save lives and diplomatically by facilitating discussions that will, hopefully, lead to a peaceful settlement of hostilities and the appointment of a functional government of reconciliation.

To Guide Entry Introduction The September 11 World Trade Center tragedy sparked many different views across America. More than anything else, it reminded us that many of our ancestors hailed from cultures found throughout the world, that perhaps we have not taken time to truly learn about and respect diverse cultures within our midst. Perhaps we have been too disconnected. If we were to canvass America's population, we would find that at some point our ancestries are rooted in Europe, Africa, Asia, South America, and beyond. Imagine taking a fun-filled journey through storytelling and research to explore those countries of origin, experiencing the terrain, the people and the way they adapt to their geographic surroundings. Perhaps despite recognizing the obvious diversity between cultures, we would make a fascinating discovery: we're not so different after all. We are in fact connected. This is the primary objective of my curriculum unit, A Story, A Story: Embracing Geography, Culture

Shorthorn cattle of West and Central Africa I. Origin, distribution, classification and population statistics Introduction of Shorthorn cattle into Africa Classification and distribution of Shorthorns Population statistics Conclusion J.E.O. Rege, G.S. Aboagye and C.L. Tawah Present-day African cattle populations can be classified into four broad categories: the humpless Bos taurus ; the humped Bos indicus (zebu), distributed widely in Africa; B. taurus x B. indicus derivatives (sanga), found mainly in eastern and southern Africa; and sanga x zebu types, such as the Fogera and Horro of Ethiopia and the Nganda of Uganda. The taurine (humpless) type has two subgroups - Longhorns ( B. taurus longifrons ) and Shorthorns ( B. taurus brachyceros ) - both of which are restricted to West and Central Africa. While the Longhorns are represented by two breeds only - the N'Dama and the Kuri - the Shorthorn subgroup has numerous representatives. Introduction of Shorthorn cattle into Africa The African cattle population is a result of three major introductions from centres of domestication in Asia (Epstein, 1957; Faulkner and Epstein, 1957; Payne, 1970; Williamson and Payne, 1977; Oliver, 1983), which mostly followed the Nile Valley through Egypt or came through the Horn of Africa (Figure 1). Further migrations resulted in heavy concentrations of cattle in the East African Highlands, present-day Ethiopia and Kenya (Payne, 1970). Humpless Hamitic Longhorns arrived about 5000 BC. They were followed by the humpless Shorthorns about 2500 BC and the humped zebu, first around 1500 BC, then in large numbers around 670 AD.

BACK ISSUES May - June 1995 DIRECTORY The Editorial of Ralph D. Winter MF Behind theScenes ... Helping Grass-roots Leaders Manage Effective Ministry A Passion for the Unreached Peoples By Patrick Johnstone That we have both the information and also the resources to see the beginning of the end by the end of this Millennium in 5 years time. My question is rather, do we have a deep faith in God, His enabling grace and a willingness to pay the price for this to be achieved? A Brief History of Unreached People Thinking Just over two hundred years ago two world-changing events took place - the French Revolution and the launch of the modern missions movement. The first brought political ideology to the fore which eclipsed the preceding centuries of dominance of ethnicity and religious conformity and gave us a range of new terms - colonialism, imperialism, capitalism, Communism, secularism. The second brought the gospel to a world in ferment with new ideas, new political systems and the modern nation-state. This time of change and upheaval became fertile soil for the rapid spread of the Gospel over these 200 years. Church growth has accelerated over this period. The last 30 years have been the most dramatic, but the last 10 years of this period even more so. However the dominance of the nation-state over these 200 years appears to be ending. The collapse of Communism as a viable and persuasive system in 1989 was the most dramatic evidence of this. Ideologies have lost their luster. The power of ethnic nationalism and ethno-religious intolerance is daily portrayed in the media. The Kurdish question, the ethnic dismemberment of Yugoslavia, the USSR and possibly even Russia itself, the Somalia and Rwanda debacles, the wars in Sri Lanka, Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Myanmar, guerrilla insurgency in Northern Ireland and Mexico are all evidence of this. We have to recognize these realities. For too long we have been locked into thinking in terms of countries and geographical boundaries because this is the way the world has been. We have to think ethnically and globally in our strategy for the evangelization of the world.

About Us Essential Library Read Past Issues Resources ... Composer Links January 20-27, 2003 Derek Bermel's Soul Garden Derek Bermel is one of those musicians with so much talent in so many areas that he could easily be mistakenly labeled a dilletante. Afterall, he writes chamber, symphonic, dance, theater and pop works, and is a terrific clarinetist, pianist and conductor, who is just as comfortable with jazz and rock as he is with classical. But, Soul Garden, a new CD of Bermel's chamber works, demonstrates just how serious a composer Bermel is and how well he has assimilated his varied musical experiences and made then uniquely his own. Bermel has studied ethnomusicology and orchestration in Jerusalem, Lobi xylophone in Ghana, uillean pipes in Dublin and Thracian folk style in Bulgaria. He trained at Yale University and the University of Michigan, and later in Amsterdam, studying composition with William Albright, Louis Andriessen, William Bolcom and Michael Tenzer. The eight works on Soul Garden are performed by Bermel on the clarinet, along with cellist Fred Sherry, pianist Christopher Taylor, the Borromeo String Quartet, violist Paul Neubauer and others, and lovingly recorded by producer Judy Sherman. They present, for the first time, an overview of Bermel’s small-ensemble writing which, he has said, focus mainly on musical narratives and more conceptual pieces. The title piece, Soul Garden, was originally written for a dance company, but evolved into a piece showcasing Paul Neubauer on viola. Two pieces, Turning and SchiZm, draw on specific musical styles he was studying. A distinctive thread throughout is what he calls "gesture," his dramatic voice-like phrasing.
