Contact: [email protected] See the project homepage at www.postwar-violence.de Copyright for this Issue © Oliver Hensengerth 2008 Oliver Hensengerth Social and Political Fractures after Wars: The Role of Youth Violence in post- 1993 Cambodia Project Working Paper No. 4 Social and Political Fractures after Wars: Youth Violence in Cambodia and Guatemala The present study is part of the research project on “Social and Political Fractures after Wars: Youth Violence in Cambodia and Guatemala”. The project is financed by the German Foundation for Peace Research and is located at the Institute for Development and Peace at the University of Duisburg-Essen. The project aims at explaining different levels of youth violence in two post-war societies whose processes of war termination are regarded as successful. However, both societies face serious problems of post-war development that are closely related to the experiences of war and war termination. While Cambodia’s democratisation process is considered more or less as a failure, Guatemala suffers from levels of violence higher than during most of the war.

Montana’s forestlands support our economy, our communities, our homes, and our lives. Forests have always been important to life in Montana. Have you ever sat under a tall pine tree, looked up at its branches sweeping the sky, and wondered what was happen- ing when that tree first sprouted? Some trees in Montana are 300 or 400 years old—the oldest living creatures in the state. They rooted before horses came to the Plains. Think of all that has happened within their life spans. Trees and forests are a big part of life in Montana. They support our economy, employ our people, build our homes, protect our rivers, provide habitat for wildlife, influence poli- tics, and give us beautiful places to play and be quiet.

  • Landscape and History at the Headwaters of the Big Coal River
    Landscape and History at the Headwaters of the Big Coal River Valley An Overview By Mary Hufford Reading the Landscape: An Introduction “This whole valley’s full of history.” -- Elsie Rich, Jarrold’s Valley From the air today, as one flies westward across West Virginia, the mountains appear to crest in long, undulating waves, giving way beyond the Allegheny Front to the deeply crenulated mass of the coal-bearing Allegheny plateaus. The sandstone ridges of Cherry Pond, Kayford, Guyandotte, and Coal River mountains where the headwaters of southern West Virginia’s Big Coal River rise are the spectacular effect of millions of years of erosion. Here, water cutting a downward path through shale etched thousands of winding hollows and deep valleys into the unglaciated tablelands of the plateaus. Archeologists have recovered evidence of human activity in the mountains only from the past 12,000 years, a tiny period in the region’s ecological development. Over the eons it took to transform an ancient tableland into today’s mountains and valleys, a highly differentiated forest evolved. Known among ecologists as the mixed mesophytic forest, it is the biologically richest temperate-zone hardwood system in the world. And running in ribbons beneath the fertile humus that anchors the mixed mesophytic are seams of coal, the fossilized legacy of an ancient tropical forest, submerged and compressed during the Paleozoic era beneath an inland sea.1 Many of the world’s mythologies explain landforms as the legacies of struggles among giants, time out of mind. Legend accounts for the Giant’s Causeway, a geological formation off the coast of Northern Ireland, as the remains of an ancient bridge that giants made between Ireland and Scotland.

  • The Stauffer-Will Farm Volunteer Handbook 2020
    The Stauffer-Will Farm Volunteer Handbook 2020 Aurora Colony Stauffer-Will Farm Program 2018 edition ACHS Mission: The mission of the Aurora Colony Historical Society is to “promote interactive lifelong learning by inspiring curiosity about, and preservation of, the heritage of the Aurora Colony. Purpose of the Program: 1. Provide 4th grade students with a hands-on experience of Pioneer life as illustrated in an Aurora Colony family. 2. Relate the Stauffer family's connection to the Colony and the Colony’s goals. 3. Be congruent with Oregon’s School Reform Act of 1991 and its subsequent benchmarks. 4. Provide a positive and safe learning environment for 8 to 11 year old children by allowing them to actively participate in pioneer activities. Goals for volunteers and staff: 1. Volunteer recruitment; attain as many volunteers as possible. 2. Staff the program with volunteers who are dressed in period clothing while they teach children the old Colony ways of making shakes, woodstove cooking, bread making, candle making, wool process, quilt making. 3. Involve the students in activities typical of children’s activities of the time of pioneers and the Aurora Colony. Welcome, and Thank you! The Stauffer-Will Farm School program has been a success for over 30 years. Each year thousands of students and many chaperones attend the farm and village programs. The buildings and the Aurora Colony story come alive with the addition of some very talented and dedicated staff and volunteers. You imbue the participants with enthusiasm about the activities, the Colony and Pioneer history. You add a dimension not found in museums or interpretive centers.

  • Magic with a Broadaxe
    22 MANUSCRIPTS You must excuse me, Lucretius, for this passionate defence of my poetry. However, I do not understand what all this has to do with the style of my chess-playing." "Well, you see, Wordsworth, I had expected a style of subtle simplicity from you, which would have been in keeping with your poetic style. Instead, your play has contained those very elements that I find lacking in your poetry: immensity and fierceness! Rather than making delicate, quiet moves, you have been relentless in your aggression. This, then, is the contradiction which I have spied." "I dare say," replied Wordsworth, "if you really understood my poetry, you could find no contradiction. Perhaps the light will shine a little more brightly when you see the way in which I intend to finish the game." Lucretius had just played his twenty-fifth move. He sat back in . his chair and waited _for his opponent to make his reply. Words- worth thought for a few moments, then raised his hand to touch the most insignificant piece on the board-the King's Rook's Pawn- which was standing passively and defensively in front of his King, and was still on its original square. He pushed the Pawn forward one square (25 .... P-R3!!), looked across the table, and whis- pered, "Zugzwang !"14 Lucretius looked at the board in silence for a long while. Then he tipped Over his King in Resignation. VVordsworth said mildly, "Perhaps now you can see what I mean when I say, To me the meanest flower that blows can give Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears.":" Magic With a Broadaxe Edward B.
