Eric By Berman with Louisa N. Lombard report on the volume, origins, and distribution of small arms in any African state. But it goes beyond the focus on small arms. It also provides a much-needed backdrop to the complicated political convulsions that have transformed CAR into a regional tinderbox. There is no better source for anyone interested in putting the ongoing crisis in its proper context.’ —Dr René Lemarchand Emeritus Professor, University of Florida and author of The Dynamics of Violence in Central Africa ’The Central African Republic, surrounded by warring parties in Sudan, Chad, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, lies on the fault line between the international community’s commitment to disarmament and the tendency for African conflicts to draw in their neighbours. The Central African Republic and Small Arms unlocks the secrets of the breakdown of state capacity in a little-known but pivotal state in the heart of Africa. It also offers important new insight to options for policy-makers and concerned organizations to promote peace in complex situations.’ —Professor William Reno Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies, Department of Political Science, Northwestern University Photo: A mutineer during the military unrest of May 1996.

SACHET Department of Botany, National Museum of Natural History , Smithsonian Institution, Wa shington , D.C. 20560 Since publication of our two previous papers on the smaller northern islands of the Marianas chain (Fosberg et al. 1975, pp. 1-45; 1977, pp. 27- 31), a number of plants have been found on island s where they were not known before. These were collected by M. V . C. Falanruw on a trip to Pagan Island in April, 1979. The new island records are presented below , along with some nomenclatural and taxonomic corrections to our 1975 list . Th e places referred to in that list are given in parentheses with each correction. Selaginella ciliaris (Retz.) Spring PAGAN: Caldera, Mt. Pagan, in stea m vent cave, 502 m, Falanruw 3310 (US). In the Marianas known only from Guam previously. Centosteca Iappacea (L.) Desv . ( Centotheca lappacea (L.) Desv .) This was previously recorded but under the incorrect spelling, Centotheca.

  • Chapter 3: Affected Environment
    3. AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT 3.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter of the Kemper County IGCC Project EIS presents information describing environmental and other resources that might potentially be affected by the proposed action or analyzed alternatives; it serves as a baseline from which the proposed project’s impacts are evaluated. This chapter describes the existing or baseline conditions of resources relative to the three major components of the proposed project: (1) the power plant, which is the component of the project that would be supported by the proposed action (funding and loan guarantee), and several offsite connected actions, including (2) the lignite surface mine, and (3) various linear facilities (pipelines and electric power lines). Environmental characteristics of the affected sites and rights-of-way, as well as their immediate surroundings, are described to levels of detail commensurate with importance of the issues or potential impacts. In most sections baseline conditions are described in detail. However, in some other sections, given the nature of some aspects of this project and the limited potential to impact some environmental resources, relatively brief information is provided to describe the existing environmental characteristics or baseline conditions. The information and data provided in this chapter were gathered during field surveys as well as drawn from literature reports, maps, databases, and other publicly available sources. Sources include specific, project- related environmental documents and permit applications that have previously been filed. The information is pre- sented in the following sections, which describe the physical, biological, environmental, socioeconomic, cultural, and aesthetic and other features and conditions of the project areas and their surroundings: • 3.2—Regional Setting and General Area • 3.11—Wetlands.

  • Pushmataha: Choctaw Warrior, Diplomat, and Chief
    Pushmataha: Choctaw Warrior, Diplomat, and Chief By: Greg O'Brien “Pushmataha: Choctaw Warrior, Diplomat, and Chief,” Mississippi History Now (July 2001) Made available courtesy of Mississippi Historical Society: http://mshistory.k12.ms.us/ ***Reprinted with permission. No further reproduction is authorized without written permission from the Mississippi Historical Society. This version of the document is not the version of record. Figures and/or pictures may be missing from this format of the document.*** Article: Few Choctaws from the early 1800s are better known than Pushmataha. He negotiated several well-publicized treaties with the United States, led Choctaws in support of the Americans during the War of 1812, is mentioned in nearly all histories of the Choctaws, was famously painted by Charles Bird King in 1824, is buried in the Congressional Cemetery in Washington, D.C., and, in April 2001, a new Pushmataha portrait was unveiled to hang in the Hall of Fame of the State of Mississippi in the Old Capitol Museum in Jackson, Mississippi. Early twentieth-century ethnologist John Swanton referred to Pushmataha as the “greatest of all Choctaw chiefs.”1 Despite his seeming familiarity, Pushmataha's life is not as well documented nor as well known as a careful biographer would like. What is known suggests that Pushmataha was an exceptional man and charismatic leader. He had deep roots in the ancient Choctaw world, a world characterized by spiritual power and traditional notions of culture. In addition, Pushmataha effectively confronted a rapidly changing era caused by the ever- expanding European and American presence. Early life Nearly all knowledge about Pushmataha's early life comes from the recollections of two men, only one of whom actually remembered meeting Pushmataha.

  • THE CHICKASAWS Statement of Significance and Impact The
    THE CHICKASAWS Statement of Significance and Impact The Chickasaws were quick to take advantage of their strategic location on the frontier of the colonial South during the Indian slave trading period of the early 18th century. Because of their early access to the new tools of warfare, the Chickasaws were able to raid to the west, north, and south with remarkable success. As more and more of their neighbors established trade relations with the Europeans, the initial advantage of their extreme western location was transformed into a liability, especially when trade shifted from slaves to skins. However, the Chickasaws assumed a new role in the politics of the region, a role that built on the reputation as fierce warriors they had established during the slave trade. Both the English and the French recognized the importance of the Chickasaws in controlling communication between the French colonies in Louisiana and Illinois and dealt with them accordingly. Therefore, a clear understanding of the position of the Chickasaws within the international conflicts that raged throughout the South during the colonial era is essential in understanding this period. Recent research using both historical documents and archaeological data has suggested that the Chickasaws were much more subtle in their relations with the Europeans than is usually portrayed. Factions within the tribe dealt with the French and then the English and sometimes with both. And we are beginning to be able to identify these factions in the archaeological record. The proposed research will use material excavated from Chickasaw sites during the 1930s to document changes in the nature of external and internal relationships during the early contact period.
