The Sacred Drum As we serve Ifa'Orisha in the respective sects and traditions, Anago teaches the mandates of African protocol which dictates that we give salutations and praises to Ilu and the sacred ensemble of Ayan. . .a most important vehicle of expression in Orisha, Ifa and Egungun worship. Ilu is the 'calling card' that Anago devotees use to beseech the Orisha who enter our bodies and dance in the mist of our veneration. A phenomenal method of audio 'Ashe' for every sect of Orisha traditions, be it Candomble, Santeria, Lucumi, Songo Baptist, Vodoun, Kongo, Akan . . . the ilu is rarely used in their rituals and ceremonies, however, all Orisha traditions treasure the mighty Ilu. This is a humble presentation summary of her importance and current use in Anago rituals and ceremonies . . . and a toast to her eminence. We are eternally grateful to Dr. Ayanrombi, a direct Yoruba descendant of an Egbe Ayan idile, for his contribution and praise Olodumare for this wonderful gift of Ilu. When ancient Mother Africa sought to artistically preserve Her indigenous memories, she aestically envisioned that the spirit of her human heart by immortalized in an icon . . . called Ilu . . . the sacred talking drum. The holy oracle of Odu'Ifa teaches that when Orunmila was about to descend to earth from the heavens, He humbly asked Olodumare, (Controller of the Universe) . . . "Oh Great One, I want the people of the world to know how great and wondrous You are. How can I do this, and what shall I do to proclaim your holy name? Olodumare, in all divine wisdom, gathered together an entourage of "Ayan" (drummers), and sent them to the world with Orunmila.

Introduction Islamic Archaeology of the belief in the Wali songo is not of rulers and significant numbers of indigenous peoples to Islam Arabic letters rather than older, indigenous or Indian http://www.arkeologi.net/islamic.php
Extractions: Introduction About Islamic Archaeology ISLAMIC ARCHAEOLOGY PERIOD Early Islamic Period : 1300-1600 In some examples the ruler's decision to convert was immediately followed as a matter of course by all his subjects; in others an appreciable proportion of the population seems to have converted first, followed by their ruler in what may have been a politically motivated act. Different agents were involved in different parts of Indonesia: sometimes itinerant merchant-missionaries of foreign or mixed parentage, in others conquering warriors, in still others charismatic teachers. Different schools of Islam were popular in different areas. The Shi'a sect made converts in several areas, and traces of the mystical sect known as the Dervishes can still be seen in some parts of Indonesia. In general, the forms of Islam which received the readiest acceptance espoused a Sufi philosophy. Sufi-influenced believers can be divided into two groups: 'mystical orthodoxy' and less orthodox variants. Islam introduced new terms into Indonesian languages, and new symbols into architecture and art. However, the spread of Islam was accompanied by the same process of Indonesianisation as was the adoption of South Asian traits 1,000 years earlier. The spread of Islam was often correlated with an increase in commercial activity. Islam contains many stipulations connected with trade. The integration of Islam into everyday life is an ongoing process in Indonesia today. As the world's most populous Islamic nation, the study of Indonesia's historical path to Islam and its evolution there deserves much more attention than it has received from scholars..

The incredibly diverse culture which animates Salsa and Latin Jazz was forged in the Americas, centered in the Caribbean where Cuba, the largest island, is the focal point. This dynamic, durable, and spiritually invincible culture was born of the forced syncretism of African, Indigenous, and European cultures. Its beauty and power belie the ugly and shameful history of slavery, which brings us to the point of all this discourse. Music and dance were vital and urgent forces, bridging the divine gap between heaven and earth, and affording African hope and survival in a new and hostile world. Music and dance were spiritual, mental, physical, and emotional outlets. They were communication, documentation, passion , joy, anger, satire, education, and love. They were life itself, and the most amazing part is, they still are ! They are much more than stagnant historical moments encased in glass for us to ponder. They are powerful vehicles of contemporary expression, undeterred by barriers of language, politics, and phobias - living folklore, passed down in the oral tradition from generation to generation , uplifting, strengthening, and unifying all who come into contact with it. This music and dance are intrinsically linked and by nature must fulfill their social function of reflecting the lives and concerns of the communities in which they thrive. The very existence of these art forms is absolutely dependent on this fact.

It is a large, landlocked territory of mostly uninhabited forest, bush and game reserves. The Chari River cuts through the centre from east to west; towards the Cameroon border the landscape rises to 2000m (6560ft) west of Bocaranga in the northwest corner, while the southwest has dense tropical rainforest. Most of the country is rolling or flat plateau covered with dry deciduous forest, except where it has been reduced to grass savannah or destroyed by bush fire. The northeast becomes desert scrubland and mountainous in parts.

Extractions: The National Environment Management Council (NEMC) was established by an Act of Parliament in 1983 to advise Government in the field of environment. It serves as a think-tank for the Government, undertakes environmental information generation, assembly, and exchange. A number of activities supporting Agenda 21 implementation have been undertaken by NEMC including pollution prevention and control; environmental education and public awareness; and natural resource conservation and management. More specifically, the NEMC has sponsored the preparation of the national marine contingency plan; the inventory of destructive activities to the aquatic environment; a wetlands inventory and management strategy; an inventory of natural resources and environmental related projects; environmental impact assessment (EIA) reviews; and the assessment of community participation in natural resource management. Apart from the Vice President's Office and NEMC, many government ministries have been undertaking activities relevant to the implementation of Agenda 21. The complexity and inter-relatedness of the environmental problems have necessitated the involvement of almost every sector in environmental protection. The Government institutions and ministries which have been more directly involved in the implementation of Agenda 21 are the Prime Minister's Office; the Planning Commission; the Ministry of Agriculture; the Ministry of Water, Energy and Minerals; the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development; the Ministry of Education and Culture; the Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education; the Ministry of Community Development, Women Affairs and Children; the Ministry of Industries and Trade; and the universities.

Extractions: CENTRAL AMERICA Panama Costa Rica Nicaragua Honduras El Salvador Guatemala] BRAZIL Brazil is a country with musical variety as vast as its geography. Samba and Bossa Nova are known world-wide but there are many other musical styles that are also worth exploring as well. Samba can mean a lot of things in Brazil. There are the sambas de enredo , the theme songs of Rio's Carnival parades which feature the large percussion sections or batucadas marching with hundreds of singers and dancers in escolas de samba or samba schools. However, most recordings feature the samba-cancão or samba-song, best represented by prominent singers from the samba schools like Martinho Da Vila Beth Carvalho Paulinho da Viola Clara Nunes and others, who record in the studio with the same percussion instruments (but fewer!) and add other instrumentation like a seven-string guitar, a ukelele-like cavaquinho and, in general, employ more sophisticated arrangements. Of course, the samba rhythm permeates many styles of Brazilian music and many popular singers include sambas in their repertoire, but the artists above sing Samba almost exclusively. We also recommend any of the samba collections in our catalog as a way to get familiar with the voices of Brazilian Samba, but Brazil Classics 2: O Samba has excellent liner notes to better acquaint you with the genre.

Susannah Herbert reports on a man whose survival would be impossible in most countries When Jean-Dominique Bauby learnt that Paris's chattering [upper middle] classes regarded him as ''a vegetable'' after a stroke left him completely paralysed at the age of 43, he decided to prove them wrong using the only tool available - his left eye-lid. ''If I wanted to show that my intellectual capacity was still higher than that of a salsify root, I would have to rely on myself alone'', he said - or rather, dictated by letter in blinks deciphered by a publisher s assistant. The 130-page result of his painstaking work,'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly', is a huge literary success. Its account of a life transformed by Locked-In Syndrome - an incurable condition which leaves consciousness untouched but which closes down the nervous system - is easily pigeon-holed as a classic ''triumph over tragedy'' tale, of the type beloved by Hollywood.

Extractions: Time and tide have not been kind to Mozambique. A long, horrific civil war has scarred the country, shattered its infrastructure and left a million land mines scattered about the countryside. Much of its wildlife, including big game such as elephants and rhinos, has been decimated by war, and cyclones have ravaged its coastline. Droughts and floods take turns rubbing salt in Mozambique's wounds. Mozambicans are putting the past behind them and are rebuilding their country at a remarkable pace. Discussions between the government and the opposition have resulted in an easing of tension. It's now possible to travel in relative safety, though getting around does require keeping your wits about you. And there's a fair number of things to see, including world-renowned beaches, World Heritage sites, funky colonial architecture and colorful local culture. When to go The best time to visit is the months of June to August, when both rainfall and temperatures are at their lowest. Later in the dry season, in late August and September, the temperatures start to climb, but this is the best time to see big game. The best time for birdwatching, on the other hand, is smack in the middle of the rainy season, usually November and December.
