  • Dancing on Terra -- with Terror: Disciplines Reframing Terrifying
    Alternative view of segmented documents via Kairos 20th March 2004 | Draft Dancing on Terra -- with Terror Disciplines reframing terrifying relationships -- / -- Introduction Since the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center, the response has been framed in strictly binary logic: " You are either with us, or you are against us". All governments and peoples of the world are urged to engage in the "war against terrorism" -- in defence of the highest values of civilization. The focus of this war, and any response to further attacks, is on how to stop terrorists. Stopping terrorists is framed as a question of capturing any who may be suspect (whatever the evidence), incarcerating them (without trial), or killing them (whether in military action or through covert assassination). The resources devoted to remedy the impoverishment and injustice, which many recognize as a breeding ground for terrorists, have diminished at a rate commensurate with the increase in resources allocated to "security", whether in the form of military equipment, surveillance, or the associated personnel. Very little effort is made, or called for -- by the media, politicians or engaged groups -- to look beyond the immediate action of terrorists to address the conditions that give rise to them. The focus of conceptual and financial resources is on proximate causes of violence and not on the contextual causes which willl continue to ensure that new terrorists emerge. The following explores the possibility that many disciplines, representing the core intellectual achievement of modern civilization, have developed conceptual approaches that reframe the crude simplicity of the current focus on proximate causes of terrifying relationships.

  • Entomology and Fly Fishing
    Entomology and Fly Fishing When considering trout fishing it is important to understand what the fish eat and when in order to choose the appropriate fly. Aquatic Insects are insects that live in the water. They have a lifecycle that includes an aquatic nymph stage and then they grow into a winged adult. The adults, who only live for a few hours or days, then return to the water to mate and lay their eggs. They include mayflies, stone flies, caddis flies, damsel flies, and dragon flies. Terrestrial Insects are insects that live on the land and become fish food by falling in the water or are gobbled up form low lying growth. They include ants, beetles, grasshoppers, leafhoppers, crickets, wasps and bees, spiders, and worms. Crustaceans are an important part of the trout food chain. They generally crawl along the bottom of the water. Freshwater crustaceans include scuds, sow bugs, and crayfish. Various aquatic bugs are only available or in season at certain times. Fly fishers should try to imitate bugs during their prime periods. This isn't essential since almost any fly can catch a fish at almost any time. However, the truly excellent fly fishing occurs when the trout are taking a certain bug and the fly in use represents that bug. Knowing when to expect those bugs and using a fly to match can significantly improve your odds for some really great fishing. The behavioral patterns of trout vary significantly between the species, the size and the circumstances in which they are found. The trout’s habits also change at different times of the day, and again this is dependent on the weather conditions.
