    NOT FOR PUBLICATION WITHOUT WRITER'S CONSENT INSTITUTE OF CURRENT WORLD AFFAIRS TRAVELLING WITH A REVOLUTIONARY Part Catholic churches mushroom, party schools become hotels, government officials buy land. Surprises are many on the roads of South Vietnam, especially when you travel with an old revolutionary. Peter Bird Martin ICWA/Crane-Rogers Foundation 4 West Wheelock Street Hanover, New Hampshire 03755 Dear Peter, It rained so much in Hue, Mr Vinh's Cigarette began to droop from his lips. Dusk fell on the Ancient Imperial Capital of Vietnam and we took shelter from the monsoon under the balcony o an old colonial French villa. Vinh's white shock of hair and the burning ember of his cigarette pierced the darkness. "In prison, we shared every butt," he says, talking over tl]e muffled sheeting sound the monsoon. "These days, nobody shares anything. Vlnh is 70-year old. His head barely reaches my shoulder but he towers over me. He holds his head up high, chin erect, hands clasped behind his back. His finely shaped bony face is usually distant, lost in thought, seemingly disdainful. But the man can laugh, oh so well. Often, as we travelled together during the past ten days, his son-in-law cracked an anti- communist joke and the old man" s laugh cascaded from .his seat, at the back o our rented minl-bus.

  • Appendix G: the Pantone “Our Color Wheel” Compared to the Chromaticity Diagram (2016) 1
    Appendix G - 1 Appendix G: The Pantone “Our color Wheel” compared to the Chromaticity Diagram (2016) 1 There is considerable interest in the conversion of Pantone identified color numbers to other numbers within the CIE and ISO Standards. Unfortunately, most of these Standards are not based on any theoretical foundation and have evolved since the late 1920's based on empirical relationships agreed to by committees. As a general rule, these Standards have all assumed that Grassman’s Law of linearity in the visual realm. Unfortunately, this fundamental assumption is not appropriate and has never been confirmed. The visual system of all biological neural systems rely upon logarithmic summing and differencing. A particular goal has been to define precisely the border between colors occurring in the local language and vernacular. An example is the border between yellow and orange. Because of the logarithmic summations used in the neural circuits of the eye and the positions of perceived yellow and orange relative to the photoreceptors of the eye, defining the transition wavelength between these two colors is particularly acute.The perceived response is particularly sensitive to stimulus intensity in the spectral region from 560 to about 580 nanometers. This Appendix relies upon the Chromaticity Diagram (2016) developed within this work. It has previously been described as The New Chromaticity Diagram, or the New Chromaticity Diagram of Research. It is in fact a foundation document that is theoretically supportable and in turn supports a wide variety of less well founded Hering, Munsell, and various RGB and CMYK representations of the human visual spectrum.

  • Social Profile of Ha Tinh for Eba 2.1
    CHAPTER 2 - SOCIAL PROFILE OF HA TINH FOR EBA 2.1. Introduction Chapter 2 introduced the concepts and methods of Vulnerability Assessment for Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) to climate change. It highlighted the idea on which EbA is predicated: the understanding that ecology, society and economy cannot be separated. Natural ecosystems are the foundation of human existence on this planet, and of all our economic activities. However, these ecological foundations have been profoundly modified and in many places weakened from their original state, by people pursuing their livelihoods (economic activities) in unsustainable ways. Although change is inherent in all global systems, eco-systems have limits to the extent of the changes they can tolerate, without losing their essential structure and functions, on which we all depend. Now climate change is adding to the stresses that people have already induced in natural systems, with potentially grave consequences. EbA identifies ecosystem degradation as a key underlying cause of vulnerability. Urgent action is needed to restore these natural systems to health, to help us sustain our socio- economic systems, indeed our very survival, to the coming challenges. We also need to harness the services of healthy ecosystems to help us adapt to the changes ahead. To understand the issues and threats posed by climate change and devise practical and sustainable solutions, ecological, social and economic factors need to be considered together, as parts of an integrated whole. Thus, as set out in Chapter 1, for this EbA vulnerability assessment, the unit of analysis is the “socio-ecological system” (SES), defined as: “complex bio-geo-physical units together with social and institutional actors and their (economic) activities” The impacts of climate change are felt by people - on their health, their housing, the other people, infrastructure and services they rely on, the natural resources they depend on, the other ways they earn their livelihoods.
