The Radio Heritage Collection Radio Free Bougainville This article was originally published in DX Ontario, October 1992, by the Ontario DX Association Bougainville is the main island of the North Solomons group which, as the name implies, is not related geographically or ethnically to the rest of the islands of Papua New Guinea; and so, the inclusion of the the North Solomons as a province of PNG might be characterized as a colonial "accident". The international boundary with the Solomons is just a stone's throw off the southeast coast of Bougainville Island. Here's a backgrounder to the origins of Radio Free Bougainville, which I should think, regardless of one's sympathies, must properly be considered a clandestine operation at this time: "IARN GETS MEDICINE TO BOUGAINVILLE THROUGH NEW GUINEA BLOCKADE" Bougainville is a 130-mile long island with 160,000 citizens, northeast of Australia, between Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. Bougainville was so named by the French Explorer Louis de Bougainville who first sighted the island in 1768. It was later annexed by the German New Guinea Company as part of their holdings. After the defeat of Germany in the First World War, the German territories, collectively termed New Guinea, became a part of the League of Nations Mandate and were placed under Australian administration. At this stage, Bougainville's leaders began to speak out against being held as a separate entity from their traditional brothers in the Solomons.

Vol. 17, No. 16 May 3, 2001 Issue Anthropology museum to collect tribal art By Amy Geiszler-Jones Jerry Martin, director of the Lowell D. Holmes Museum of Anthropology, inspects an Asmat carving of ancestor figures. Martin will be heading to the Asmat region of Irian Jaya, Indonesia, later this month to begin an Asmat tribal art collection for the museum. Jerry Martin, director of the Lowell D. Holmes Museum of Anthropology, will leave later this month for a two-month expedition in the Asmat region of the Indonesian province of Irian Jaya. The province is the western half of the island of New Guinea, the second largest island in the world. It lies just below the equator, about 90 miles north of Australia. And despite those harsh, rugged conditions, Martin is relishing the opportunity made possible by a gift from WSU donors Barry and Paula Downing, who share his love for Asmat art. "It rarely happens that American (anthropology) museums collect from the field and start a major collection from the beginning where you can control the quality and you have the provenance of an item," says Martin. Provenance is the origin and history of an item. "Many collections donated to museums end up being wonderful pieces of art, but without that information they have little research value."

30. How Book Burning Ignited Witch-hunt - In January 2001 the Ministry of culture, in a move reminiscent of the Nazis, papau new guinea Paraguay Peru Philippines Poland Portugal http://www.gayegypt.com/howbookburfo.html

Posted 2001. In January 2001 the Ministry of Culture, in a move reminiscent of the Nazis, burned six thousand volumes of poetry by the eighth century Abassid poet Abu Nuwas famous for his homoerotic verse. In terms of the sheer number of books the burning seems to have been the second largest in history, after the infamous bonfire of 70,000 works in Berlin's Opernplatz on the night of 10 May 1933 which also included works by gay writers Thomas Mann and Magnus Hirschfeld. The reasons behind the capitulation of the Ministry of Culture to the forces of islamic fundamentalism goes back to the student riots at Al-Azhar university, Egypt's historic islamic university, against the supposedly blasphomous "Banquet for Seaweed" in May 2000. The confrontation, followed by successes by the Islamic Brotherhood in subsequent elections, scared the government. It appears that Minister of Culture Farouk Hosni (see photo), labelled "Al-Fannan" (The Artist) in the press, may also have been embarassed when the weekly Sout El Omma published copies of the his abstract paintings ouzing phallic symbolism. When newly elected Muslim Brotherhood MP Gamal Heshmat demanded the withdrawal of three books published by the General Organization for Cultural Palaces (GOCP), a bizarely named pubishing offshoot of the Culture Ministry, the Minister took action. Sensing it was either going to be his head or his censors' he chose the less painful option. Summoning Ali Abu Shadi of GOCP to the ministry buildings in Zamalek (the buildings themselves embarassingly close to Marriot's Harry's Bar, the Queen Boat and the heart of Cairo's more upper class gay scene), Farouk Hosni had metamorphosed into the very model of a puritanical Soviet Commissar. He fired Abu Shadi both from his role as censor at GOCP and also from his post as head of the National Film Festival.

[ design interviews research A Conversation Between Daniel van der Velden and Zak Kyes or Against Deconstruction Eternalized In Marble. by Zak Kyes Daniel van der Velden, initiator of the Meta Haven: Sealand Identity Project etoy DVDV recognizes the complicity and problematic issues of design, art and authorship in the context of globalization and corporations. here and here ZAK : how do you view your role as a designer, writer, conceptualizer.. and the importance of the interplay between them? DVDV : actually designer, writer and conceptualizer are all three part of our definition of designer. it is a relatively new thing to think of design as authorship, and it is also a problematic thing. design is traditionally seen as a support discipline, but increasingly we are becoming conscious that it is authorship itself and should be considered equal to, for instance, architecture. our efforts are in fact all about trying to work towards such a position. this has to be done in many ways simultaneously; by design, by writing, by editing, by publishing, by thinking in public. Z : by wrapping your message in fiction (the image of a simulated "truth") you destabilize your own message. to what extent is this your intention?

They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier. Thanks- Cliff, cdRoots Hunters Who Lost Their Land Betel Nut Brothers (cdRoots# tm-betel04) fRoots says: Betel Brothers are four brothers and a cousin - Huegu, Docdoc, Budu, Abi and Wushin; a truck driver, a surgeon, a dance company assistant, a leader of a traditional Amis dance company and a grocer. All five, we are told, are hunters who have lost their land and traditional livelihood and adapted to the new ways in order to survive in the cities. Their music is their final stand to protect the last traces of Amis culture and dignity. These are protest songs, love songs, harvest songs, songs sung at the dismissal of a husband from when Taiwan was a matriarchal society, dance songs, songs of place, folk songs; all played on acoustic guitar, mostly strummed, no fancy finger picking, small percussion; and vocal melodies often bearing traces of what we Europeans would know as pentatonic South East Asian folk and pop tunes, of course.

39. Spiroplasma when he visited the Fore Peoples of papau, new guinea during the late 1950s . when he knew that the tissues were infectious by broth culture, http://www.sonomacountyfreepress.com/reaction/spiroplasma.html

Back Sonoma County Free Press Home Page Columns Features Last Revised June, 1998 REACTIONS OF A KINDLY NATURE by Ed Gherman Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy (TSE) is identified by the plaques of mutated amyloid protein that form within the brain tissue and destroy synapses and neurotransmitter functions and take on a characteristic sponge or Swiss cheese appearance. CJD, Scrapie and Kuru are all members of this degenerative disease family, afflictions known about for over two hundred years but not studied intently until the early sixties when they were found to be transmissible. Gajdusek observed that some of the Fore women and a few children died from symptoms indicating a neurological disorder: dementia, frenzied behavior, blindness and eventual agonizing death. He studied the tribal dynamics and soon hypothesized that the condition, known as Kuru, came from their habit of eating the brains of dead relatives; he brought some diseased brain tissue back to the USA. Gajdusek soon discovered that when he made a broth from the Kuru tissue and injected this mixture into lab animals, they too exhibited the Kuru symptoms. He then processed Kuru diseased lab animals' brains and injected the mixture into other lab animals. They also died the same excruciating deaths. This meant that the condition could be transmitted from organism to organism and was therefore transmissible, hence Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy (TSE). Gajdusek and his colleagues at the National Institute of Health were never able to isolate or positivly identify the agent that causes the TSE even though they've been trying since the early sixties. Scrapie and CJD were also studied and found to be transmissible. All this was well known underground medical information; many doctors refused to autopsy CJD victims. For years the NIH conjectured that the infective culprit was a "slow virus". Nothing seemed to distroy the agent; not heat, cold, or any of the normal chemical disinfectants. Nor could they find a trace of its chemical or molecular identity. Furthermore, the virus didn't cause inflamation so antibodies failed to leave a calling card. Some completely new agent was essential.

40. History The Japanese influence on the Palauan culture was immense as it shifted theeconomy from a Located between Guam, the Philippines and papau new guinea. http://www.northbeachcottages.com/html/about.html

History Palau's early history is still largely veiled in mystery. Why, how or when people arrived on our beautiful islands is unknown, but studies indicate that today's Palauans are distant relatives of the Malays of Indonesia, Melanesians of New Guinea and Polynesians. As for the date of their arrivals, carbon dating of artifacts from the oldest known village sites on the Rock Islands and the spectacular terraces on Babeldaob place civilization there as early as 1,000 BC. The most noteworthy first foreign contact took place in 1783 when the vessel ANTELOPE, under the command of English Captain Henry Wilson, was shipwrecked on a reef near Ulong, a Rock Island located between Koror and Peleliu. With the assistance of Koror's High chief Ibedul, Wilson and his men stayed for three months to rebuild his ship. From that time onward, many foreign explorers called on Palau, and the islands were exposed to further European contact. Foreign governance of our islands officially began when Pope Leo XIII asserted Spain's rights over the Western Caroline Islands in 1885. Two churches were established and maintained by two Capuchin priests and two brothers, resulting in the introduction of the Roman alphabet and the elimination of inter-village wars. In 1899, Spain sold the Carolines to Germany, which established an organized program to exploit the islands natural resources. Following Germany's defeat in WWI, the islands'? Were formally passed to the Japanese under the 1919 Treaty of Versailles. The Japanese influence on the Palauan culture was immense as it shifted the economy from a level of subsistence to a market economy and property ownership from the clan to individuals
