...v ‘My Mom’s a Naked Jungle Woman:’ David Good on Finding His Mother Added by Lydia Bradbury on May 27, 2014. Saved under Lydia Webb, U.S., Venezuela Tags: good [pic]Divorced parents are a common enough occurrence in the United States that when a child says, “My parents are divorced,” it hardly raises an eyebrow. But for David Good, it was a painful reality he sought to avoid mentioning, mostly because he would have to explain where his mother was, which meant telling people that she lived in a tribe in Venezuela that was stuck in the Stone Age. Good’s mother, Yarima, is a member of the Yanomami tribe, a tribe that still maintains the vast majority of its ancient traditions, including rituals, feasts, games and living in the “shabano,” a large, circular communal house. After marrying Kenneth Good, an anthropologist studying the tribe, she lived with him in the U.S., but found the isolation from her family too hard to bear. She returned to the Amazon Rainforest in Venezuela, leaving David and his siblings with their father in America. After years of separation, David Good finally went to Venezuela to find his mother, and to face up to a fact he had avoided for so many years: “My mom’s a naked jungle woman.” At its heart, this story is one about love and family, which can sometimes be a truly multicultural experience. David Good is a true-blue American son. As a child, he played Little League baseball and had a paper route. For a boy raised in Pennsylvania...

...Налогообложение населения Франции Среди ведущих развитых стран Францию отличает высокая доля обязательных отчислений (налоговых платежей и взносов в фонды социального назначения) в валовом внутреннем продукте. В налоговой системе Франции подоходный налог составляет 18,1% доходов бюджета. Он стоит на втором месте после НДС. В основном налоговая система Франции похожа на системы США. Отличия небольшие: налоги на социальное страхование здесь уплачивают только трудящиеся (а у нас в стране - только работодатели), к тому же здесь присутствует так называемый профессиональный налог, который уплачивают лица работающие, но не вознаграждаемые заработной платой. Данный налог привлек мое внимание потому, что сейчас наши граждане изыскивают все новые пути для заработка денег, а государство еще не может уследить за всеми работами, поэтому нам может пригодиться в данной ситуации профессиональный налог. Другая отличительная черта системы обязательных отчислений во Франции – высокая доля взносов в фонды социального назначения. По доле взносов в фонды социального назначения в сумме ВВП Франция занимает первое место среди развитых стран. Еще одной особенностью Франции является низкий уровень прямого налогообложения и одновременно высокий уровень косвенного. При этом во Франции – высокая доля поступлений от налогов на товары и услуги в ВВП ив общем объеме обязательных отчислений. Косвенные налоги дают около 60% налоговых доходов общего бюджета. Около 40 % доходов общего бюджета обеспечивают...

...Rrrrr…. Boom!!! The sound when our car slammed into the pole. We were going to ski at Boreal and stay in Reno. An unfortunately accident happened on the first day, as we going of the highway, my uncle started to slow down and turn but the melted ice that dried up on the road made our car slip and we hit a pole. After 10 min. of trying to get the car out with snow right between the front and back tires so we had to get a truck to tow us out. This day was already bad and I had a feeling that it won’t be getting better. After, we started driving toward the parking lot when we heard clunking noises coming from our car so my uncle and I went outside to check on the car. “Muyi, put your snowshoes on!” my mom exclaimed. I didn’t follow those...

...ME 303 MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING PROBLEM SETS Prepared by: Kamil Özden Ural Uluer Salih Alan Mehmet Bilal Atar PROBLEM SET FOR CHAPTER 2 Q2.1 A copper bar is to be cold rolled into a section which must have a min. tensile strength of 390 MPa. If the final cross-sectional area is 20.13 mm2 and assuming the flow properties of the workpiece material are given as K = 450 MPa, n = 0.33. Calculate the followings: a) The tensile strength of the annealed material. b) The initial diameter of the copper bar. Solution It is important to understand the question well. In this question, the copper bar is annealed first then a cold rolling operation is done on it. Initial diameter of the copper bar is same before and after the annealing operation. a) Flow stress of the plastically deformed bar could be shown as shown in Course Slides at UTS Then UTS of the original bar (no annealing, no cold working) is found as below: = 450 (0.33)0.33 = 312.12 MPa . As u u Since before necking occurs ( < n) area stays constant at the whole bar, the formula below could be used: By putting the area ratio into the formula (i) UTS of the annealed material is found as: b) For this question d0 can be found by using the ratio: if < n (which means necking is not started yet) with the UTScw value given in the question as UTScw = 390 MPa, to check the value So > n which means that necking started, then UTScw becomes equal to flow stress of the deformed material, Q2.2 A...

...Acknowledgments ix Acknowledgments This book owes a great deal to the mental energy of several generations of scholars. As an undergraduate at the University of Cape Town, Francis Wilson made me aware of the importance of migrant labour and Robin Hallett inspired me, and a generation of students, to study the African past. At the School of Oriental and African Studies in London I was fortunate enough to have David Birmingham as a thesis supervisor. I hope that some of his knowledge and understanding of Lusophone Africa has found its way into this book. I owe an equal debt to Shula Marks who, over the years, has provided me with criticism and inspiration. In the United States I learnt a great deal from ]eanne Penvenne, Marcia Wright and, especially, Leroy Vail. In Switzerland I benefitted from the friendship and assistance of Laurent Monier of the IUED in Geneva, Francois Iecquier of the University of Lausanne and Mariette Ouwerhand of the dépurtement évangélrlyue (the former Swiss Mission). In South Africa, Patricia Davison of the South African Museum introduced me to material culture and made me aware of the richness of difference; the late Monica Wilson taught me the fundamentals of anthropology and Andrew Spiegel and Robert Thornton struggled to keep me abreast of changes in the discipline; Sue Newton-King and Nigel Penn brought shafts of light from the eighteenthcentury to bear on early industrialism. Charles van Onselen laid a major part of the intellectual foundations on...
