Such protections have led to the realisationthat the aging of populationsis now global phenomenon, withcrucial implications for the developing aswell as the developed nations. Recognising this, the UnitedNations in 1982 held a World Assembly onAging which stimulated newstudies and reports providing aninternational perspective on aging (Binstock,Chow and Schulz 19821 Oriol1982/ Selby and Schecter 1982; Thomasand Maddox 1982). Over the past quarter of acentury, an interdis- ciplinary field of gerontologywhich probes the processes of aging and the conditionof the aged in contemporary industrial nations has developedrapidly. The mounting intensity of this researchhas been stimulated by unprecedented shifts inage-structure and increases in life-expectancy withinsuch countries. With 75-80 percent of these populationssurviving past birth to age 65 and the average spanof life inching towards 80, some Western Europeannations already have more 1 2 than 14 percent of theirpopulace over age 65 14.25 percent, France - Denmark 14.3 percent, FederalRepublic of Germany 15.3 percent,and Sweden 15.4 Bank 1980). percent (World Compared to the situationin industrialized nations, seriousexamination of gerontological in Third World countries issues and their diversecultures is still in its infancy.

  • Asian Spirituality of Christian Stewardship (Keynote Address of the Rev
    Asian Spirituality of Christian Stewardship (Keynote Address of the Rev. Dr. Winfred B. Vergara, Missioner for Asiamerica Ministry of the Episcopal Church Center at the diocesan EAM Consultation of the Diocese of California, held in Christ Episcopal Church, Alameda, California on June 10-11, 2011) Introduction This gathering today, here in this Diocese of California has a triple significance for me: first, it is here, in this diocese where the first national Episcopal Asiamerica Ministry Consultation was held in 1974; second, it is here, in this Diocese, where I was installed as the second missioner for Asiamerica Ministry in 2004; and third, it is here now, in this Diocese that this first diocesan-wide EAM Consultation is ever held. The end of all exploring,” wrote the English poet, T. S. Eliot, “will be to arrive where you started and know the place for the first time.” Or as one Chinese proverb says, “If you just stay in the same place for as long as you can, you will finally see the world coming back to you.” So I feel like, today, it is “dejavu” – all coming back again, as if, for the first time. You‟ve assigned me to speak on “Asian Spirituality of Christian Stewardship.” Let me arranged this theme on three chapters: first, what is spirituality; second, what is Asian; and third, what is Christian stewardship. Then, I will sum up on how we can arrive at a contextual teaching on Christian Stewardship. First, what is Spirituality? A story is told of a parrot which was fond of speaking bad words.

DESCRIPTORS American Indian Culture; *Developing Nations; Drinking; *Drug Abuse; Drug Addiction; *Economic Factors; *Economic Opportunities; Foreign Countries; *Illegal Drug Use; World Problems IDENTIFIERS Bolivia; *Cocaine; Coca Paste (Drug); Crack; Drugs; Drug Trafficking; *Latin America; Mexico; Peru; South America ABSTRACT The eight papers presented in this document discuss the link between substance and human life in Latin America and hell. readers uncover some of the myths surrounding drugs, especially cocaine. Contributions range from extensive research to field work and observation. Enrique Mayer demonstrates that the coca leaf is a vital Andean cultural element whose use and economic role will not be easily replaced or substituted. Myrna Cintron traces the historical roots of the cocaine problem, arguing that the current crisis is part of a periodic cycle that has seen cocaine change from recreational use to an economic commodity. Ray Henkel describes and analyzes the development of the coca industry and the impact it has had on Bolivia. Harry Sanabria presents research on out-migration from a high altitude peasant community in Bolivia and social differentiation based on coca agriculture. Luis Loyola explores the historical functions that alcohol consumption has had in peasant and Indian communities in Chiapas, Mexico, and provides an ethnographic account of the drinking pattern in Tenejapa, Chiapas.

Yochelson (1928-2006), principal organizer of the first NAPC (1969) and a major catalyst in its establishment as a highly successful quadrennial meeting. Welcome On behalf of the Associated North American Paleontological Societies, it is my pleasure to welcome you to Cincinnati for the 9th North American Paleontological Convention (NAPC 2009). As the abstracts in this volume attest, this is a wonderfully eclectic meeting, with sessions and presentations covering an array of taxa, and touching on important questions and themes that drive the science of paleontology in the 21st century. In the year when we commemorate the bicentennial of Charles Darwin’s birth and the sesquicentennial of The Origin of Species, it is appropriate that NAPC 2009 take place in Cincinnati. There are few places on the continent that can match the rich paleontological heritage of this region.

  • ASIAMERICA MINISTRIES in the EPISCOPAL CHURCH REMEMBERING the PAST, CELEBRATING the PRESENT, VISUALIZING the FUTURE
    ASIAMERICA MINISTRIES in THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH REMEMBERING THE PAST, CELEBRATING THE PRESENT, VISUALIZING THE FUTURE In 1973, Asian Episcopalian clergy and lay leaders, with the leadership of the Rev. Dr. Winston Ching as first Asiamerica Missioner, gathered in San Francisco, California and organized their work into the Episcopal Asiamerica Ministry (EAM). Over time, EAM has evolved into a three-fold ministry: ministry to Asian immigrants in the United States; ministry to Asian-Americans or Americans born and raised in the United States of Asian ancestry; and ministry of bridge-building to churches in Asia, especially those belonging to the worldwide Anglican Communion and those in concordat with The Episcopal Church. In 2013, the Asiamerica Ministries Network in The Episcopal Church, with the leadership of the Rev. Canon Dr. Winfred Vergara, the second Asiamerica Missioner, celebrated its 40th anniversary and “remembered its past, celebrated its present, and visualized its future.” 2 The next EAM Consultation will be held in Seoul, Korea, from September 29 to October 5, 2015. It is set to coincide with the celebration of the 125th anniversary of the founding of the Anglican Church in Korea, and the theme is “Celebrating Our Partnerships; Uniting Our Missions.” The Consultation hopes to put into practice the lessons learned in America and to set into motion a closer, broader, and deeper partnership with Asia. This article narrates the immigration history of Asians in the United States; the beginnings of Asiamerica Ministry in The Episcopal Church; and the lessons learned and the challenges faced by Asiamerican Episcopalians as they continue to work toward growth and diversity in American church and society.

  • Palaearctic Diptera — from Tundra to Desert
    CHaptER FIVE PALAEARCTIC DIptERa — fROM TUNDRA TO DESERT Thomas Pape Natural History Museum of Denmark, Copenhagen, Denmark INTRODUCT I ON Human life is a life in coexistence with Diptera, as these are ubiquitous and may be present in immeasurable myriads of individuals. While Dip- tera to most people probably are known mainly as a nuisance, not to men- tion the immense suffering brought about by the disease-carrying capac- ity of blood-sucking species, Diptera are also key players in the recycling of organic material5 in ecosystems, from the sewage of our urban com- munities to the leaf litter of the forest floor. And Diptera provide other general ecosystem services like pollination and pest control. Diptera have a particular relevance for the Palaearctic Region, as there is an increasing relative dominance of Diptera with latitude, until Diptera are reigning supreme among the insects in the high arctic. 1 Geology and Biogeography The continental basis for the Palaearctic can be traced back to the late Jurassic, when the break-up of Pangea into Laurasia and Gondwana was well underway, and the Atlantic Ocean was born by the formation of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. By mid to late Cretaceous (100–80 Mya), Laurasia was divided by epicontinental seaways into the two palaeocontinents Euramerica (Europe and eastern North America) and Asiamerica (Asia and western North America). With a growing Atlantic Ocean and the fi- nal closing of the epicontinental Turgai Strait about 30 Mya, the geologi- cal conditions for the Palaearctic Region as we know it today were largely set (Sanmartín et al.
