Trappers, traders with the Indians, small farmers, transported convicts or footloose adventurers, their settlements sprang up along the shores of the Mississippi, the Missouri and the St. Lawrence, extending the presence of French culture over a vast area. Although the Seven Years' War of the 1750's checked the presence of French political ambitions in North America and tipped the balance in favour of English-speakers, place names like Detroit, Terre Haute, Fond du Lac and Des Moines scattered across the map of the United States bear witness to the far reach of the French influence in 1 centuries gone by. In Quebec and Louisiana, however, and in some parts of the other Canadian provinces and of New England, French culture is still a living part of the local heritage. The settlers brought with them songs and dances that were popular in France in the 1600's and 1700's.

  • (ICT) to Support Independent Living for Older and Disabled People
    The Use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to Support Independent Living for Older and Disabled People Report prepared by: Dr. R.G.Curry Mrs. M. Trejo Tinoco Mr. D. Wardle Date: October 2002 Request for further copies of this report and any other correspondence should be addressed to Dr. R.G. Curry. [email protected] Abstract The use of technology to support independent living for older and disabled people is mentioned explicitly in many recent Government policy documents. The main purpose of this report is to make the reader aware of the range of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) based activities which can promote the independence of older and disabled people and help them live in their own homes. This is achieved by reporting on activities across a wide range of fields including policy, industry, research, housing, health and social care. The report develops the concept of “building blocks” of ICT-based activity. From an analysis of this current activity and particularly on how it has developed since a previous report, a number of lessons emerge. This information is used to make suggestions for a national infrastructure for service delivery and to provide guidance on local implementation. The report concludes by making recommendations for the development of the use of ICT, telecare and new electronic assistive technologies to support independent living. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.

  • Ritual Details of the Irish Horse Sacrifice in Betha Mholaise Daiminse
    Ritual Details of the Irish Horse Sacrifice in Betha Mholaise Daiminse David Fickett-Wilbar Durham, New Hampshire [email protected] The kingly inauguration ritual described by Gerald of Wales has often been compared with horse sacrifice rituals in other Indo-European traditions, in particular the Roman October Equus and the Vedic aßvamedha. Among the doubts expressed about the Irish account is that it is the only text that describes the ritual. I will argue, however, that a similar ritual is found in another text, the Irish Life of St. Molaise of Devenish (Betha Mholaise Daiminise), not only confirming the accuracy of much of Gerald’s account, but providing additional details. Gerald of Wales’ (Gerald Cambrensis’) description of “a new and outlandish way of confirming kingship and dominion” in Ireland is justly famous among Celticists and Indo-European comparativists. It purports to give us a description of what can only be a pagan ritual, accounts of which from Ireland are in short supply, surviving into 12th century Ireland. He writes: Est igitur in boreali et ulteriori Uitoniae parte, scilicet apud Kenelcunnil, gens quaedam, quae barbaro nimis et abominabili ritu sic sibi regem creare solet. Collecto in unum universo terrae illius populo, in medium producitur jumentum candidum. Ad quod sublimandus ille non in principem sed in beluam, non in regem sed exlegem, coram omnibus bestialiter accedens, non minus impudenter quam imprudenter se quoque bestiam profitetur. Et statim jumento interfecto, et frustatim in aqua decocto, in eadam aqua balneum ei paratur. Cui insidens, de carnibus illis sibi allatis, circumstante populo suo et convescente, comedit ipse.
