First, we would like to thank the Shoshoni people who kept reminding us of how important it is to preserve our songs in written form and on CD. We are indebted to the late Wick R. Miller, who developed the writing system that we use for writing Shoshoni (see Crum and Miller 1987; Crum and Dayley 1993). We want to thank Johann Helton for recording the poetry songs on CD and Jon Fransen, the audio engineer who remixed and edited the final copy of the CD. We would like to give our deepest gratitude to Ken Kuchler, music director and conductor of the Wasatch Community Symphony Orchestra in Salt Lake City, who, working with Earl Crum, put a number of the songs in this collection to musical notation. Two of the songs here, along with other Native American songs, were played by members of the orchestra in a concert in Salt Lake City in May 2000. We thank Professor Charles Greenhaw at the Great Basin College in Elko, Nevada, for giving us an initial critique of the manuscript and encour- aging us to continue. We also thank several anonymous readers for their many helpful suggestions. Finally, we want to thank members of our families for their patience and encouragement during the long process of putting this book together. Jon Dayley would especially like to thank his wife Dana Logan for her sup- port in this effort. xi Abbreviations adj adjective np noun phrase adv adverb o object aux auxiliary verb ø no objective case suffix conj conjunction obj object/objective case dem demonstrative p postposition distrib distributive pass passive dl dual perf perfective dub dubitative pl plural dur durative poss possessive emph emphatic prfx prefix excl exclusive pro pronoun flex flexible q yes/no question particle hab habitual quant quantifier incl inclusive quote quotative particle incorp object incorporating verb rcprcl reciprocal instr instrumental rel relative inter interrogative rflx reflexive intrjct interjection sg singular iv intransitive verb state stative link linking sub subordinate, subordinating loc locative subj subject/subjective case n noun top toponym neg negative tv transitive verb no number v verb Introduction This work is a collection of Newe hupia ‘Shoshoni poetry songs’, which celebrate the traditional Shoshoni hunting and gathering lifeway and world view. For centuries the ancestors of the Shoshoni lived in the Great Basin and surrounding areas of what is now the western United States, moving seasonally from place to place harvesting various roots, berries, grains, pinenuts, herbs, and game animals. The poetry songs are rich in describing this way of life, which is intimately connected to the natural world. Today, Shoshoni people still sing these songs celebrating the traditional lifeway. From the Shoshoni perspective, nearly everything in life and nature is sacred and worthy of being put to song. Thus, many songs are about specific details of nature such as animals, plants, and geographical and meteorologi- cal phenomena. They are also about traditional human activities such as hunting game and gathering and preparing foods, as well as spiritual prac- tices and themes. On the one hand, the poetry songs are a traditional art form for the enjoyment of all who sing and hear them. On the other hand, they are used to help people learn about the specific details of nature, which are extremely important for people living in a hunting and gathering lifeway. The themes of Shoshoni poetry songs are often not what either songs or poetry might be about in the modern Western tradition. The beauty of the lyrics of the songs lies in their simplicity and their power to capture details of nature and human existence that some of us may overlook or not pay much attention to. The poetry songs offer us a fresh look at the world, making the familiar vivid and alive. They give us insight and invoke clear imagery of the ordinary yet wondrous world we live in, expressing the expe- rience of seeing the world as it is.

    Making the State on the Sino-Tibetan Frontier: Chinese Expansion and Local Power in Batang, 1842-1939 William M. Coleman, IV Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Columbia University 2014 © 2013 William M. Coleman, IV All rights reserved Abstract Making the State on the Sino-Tibetan Frontier: Chinese Expansion and Local Power in Batang, 1842-1939 William M. Coleman, IV This dissertation analyzes the process of state building by Qing imperial representatives and Republican state officials in Batang, a predominantly ethnic Tibetan region located in southwestern Sichuan Province. Utilizing Chinese provincial and national level archival materials and Tibetan language works, as well as French and American missionary records and publications, it explores how Chinese state expansion evolved in response to local power and has three primary arguments. First, by the mid-nineteenth century, Batang had developed an identifiable structure of local governance in which native chieftains, monastic leaders, and imperial officials shared power and successfully fostered peace in the region for over a century. Second, the arrival of French missionaries in Batang precipitated a gradual expansion of imperial authority in the region, culminating in radical Qing military intervention that permanently altered local understandings of power. While short-lived, centrally-mandated reforms initiated soon thereafter further integrated Batang into the Qing Empire, thereby

NIXON-ROULET PREFACE It requires much study of the Oriental mind to catch even brief glimpses of the secret of its mysterious charm. An open mind and the wisdom of great sympathy are conditions essential to making it at all possible. Contemplative, gentle, and metaphysical in their habit of thought, the Chinese have reflected profoundly and worked out many riddles of the universe in ways peculiarly their own. Realization of the value and need to us of a more definite knowledge of the mental processes of our Oriental brothers, increases wonder- fully as one begins to comprehend the richness, depth, and beauty of their thought, ripened as it is by the hidden processes of evolution throughout the ages. To obtain literal translations from the mental store- house of the Chinese has not been found easy of accom- plishment; but it is a more difficult, and a most elusive task to attempt to translate their fancies, to see life itself as it appears from the Chinese point of view, and to retell these impressions without losing quite all of their color and charm.

P000.G0 2007 000!.012 00-00000 ISBN 0-0000-0000-0 (alk. paper) This book is dedicated to the Amerind people, the first Americans Preface The present volume is a revison, extension, and refinement of the ev- idence for the Amerind linguistic family that was initially offered in Greenberg (1987). This revision entails (1) the correction of a num- ber of forms, and the elimination of others, on the basis of criticism by specialists in various Amerind languages; (2) the consolidation of certain Amerind subgroup etymologies (given in Greenberg 1987) into Amerind etymologies; (3) the addition of many reconstructions from different levels of Amerind, based on a comprehensive database of all known reconstructions for Amerind subfamilies; and, finally, (4) the addition of a number of new Amerind etymologies presented here for the first time. I believe the present work represents an advance over the original, but it is at the same time simply one step forward on a project that will never be finished. M. R.

He took off his hat and came slowly forward. The floorboards creaked under his boots. In his black suit he stood in the dark glass where the lilies leaned so palely from their waisted cutglass vase. Along the cold hallway behind him hung the portraits of forebears only dimly known to him all framed in glass and dimly lit above the narrow wainscotting. He looked down at the guttered candlestub. He pressed his thumbprint in the warm wax pooled on the oak veneer. Lastly he looked at the face so caved and drawn among the folds of funeral cloth, the yellowed moustache, the eyelids paper thin. That was not sleeping. That was not sleeping. It was dark outside and cold and no wind. In the distance a calf bawled. He stood with his hat in his hand. You never combed your hair that way in your life, he said. Inside the house there was no sound save the ticking of the mantel clock in the front room. He went out and shut the door. Dark and cold and no wind and a thin gray reef beginning along the eastern rim of the world. He walked out on the prairie and stood holding his hat like some supplicant to the darkness over them all and he stood there for a long time.

    UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION FHARMACY RECORDS a/k/a, FHARMACY RECORDS PRODUCTION CO., FHARM I PUBLISHING COMPANY, SHELTON RIVERS, Plaintiffs, v. Case Number 05-72126 Honorable David M. Lawson SALAAM NASSAR,CURTIS JACKSON, DARRIN DEAN, DEF JAM RECORDING, RUFF RYDERS, JANICE COMBS PUBLISHING, UNIVERSAL MUSIC PUBLISHING, UNIVERSAL MUSIC & VIDEO DISTRIBUTION CORPORATION, EMI APRIL, INC., SOO SOOS SWEET SWISHER MUSIC, JOHN DOE, ET AL., Defendants. ______________________________________ / OPINION AND ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT, GRANTING DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO DISMISS, DENYING PLAINTIFFS’ MOTIONS FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT, AND ADJUDICATING OTHER PENDING MOTIONS This is a copyright infringement action in which plaintiff Shelton Rivers claims to be the original author of a rhythm line – or “beat” – that was duplicated – that is, “sampled” – by defendant Salaam Nassar and incorporated into a rap tune, which enjoyed commercial success. Both Rivers and Nassar claim to be the original creator of the beat. However, the plaintiff’s sole remaining theory of liability is based on a claim of unlawful sampling under 17 U.S.C. § 114(b), which has not been established by the evidence before the Court regardless of which of the two is the original author. The parties have filed several motions, some of which raise disturbing allegations of misconduct by the plaintiffs and their attorney, Gregory Reed, Esq. The Court finds that the cross motions for summary judgment must be decided in favor of the defendants because the plaintiffs have not come forward with evidence that establishes that the accused work, a rap tune called “Shot Down,” contains a direct or indirect “recapture [of] the actual sounds fixed in the recording” Rivers said he made or a rearrangement of “the actual sounds fixed in [Rivers’s] sound recording.” Ibid.

  • Waste Jute Based Smart Irrigation System
    WASTE JUTE BASED SMART IRRIGATION SYSTEM Nitish Kumar Singh1, Ankur Kumar2 , Prateek Kumar Dubey3, Niraj Singh4, Praveen Gupta5 13456Student, Buddha institute of Technology,(Gkp, U.P., INDIA) 2Asst.Prof, Buddha institute of Technology,(Gkp, U.P., INDIA) ABSTRACT We have bought up a solution to reduce the soil temperature and improve the soil moisture ,growth and health ultimately reducing drought conditions to some extent .Jute has an excellent water absorption capacity which is 400 to 500% of its dry weight. Being a natural fibre, it does not cause any kind of harm to the soil .Instead it acts as a natural fertilizers after its degradation in the soil .So the use of jute will absorb the rainwater and hold it under the soil keeping the soil cooler and improving the crops growth .Thus at some extent it will help to reduce the extreme drought conditions in some places in India and help the farmers. A very simple way to implement at least cost will never be a problem to the farmers .Being cheap , easy to implement and efficient is the core idea of the solution to the problem. This will tentatively reduce the growing food prices , anti-bio-hazards medium , and remove further causing problems in the chain . Keyword:- Degradation, Fertilizers, Extreme, Tentatively, Anti-bio hazards 1. INTRODUCTION Irrigation is the process of applying water to the crops artificially to fulfil their water requirements. Nutrients may also be provided to the crops through irrigation. The various sources of water for irrigation are wells, ponds, lakes, canals, tube-wells and even dams.
