Unexpected Behavior

Based on a thorough examination of field and museum Climactichnites specimens, two species of this trace are recognized, each representing a unique behavioral variant produced by a soft-bodied animal in Late Cambrian intertidal environments. C. wilsoni represents surface-produced trails, whereas C. youngi is re-erected for burrows produced below the surface. Burrowing behavior is supported by: 1) the presence of C. youngi within, rather than on, the surface of beds; 2) the orientation of some burrows inclined to bedding; and 3) the occasional presence of distinct burrow fills. Burrows can also be distinguished morphologically from surface traces by the absence of lateral ridges and the presence of fine, mm-scale striations or grooves superimposed on the transverse bars and furrows. Burrowing behavior for the Climactichnites trailmaker was previously unknown and thus represents a new, although not entirely unexpected, behavior for this mollusk or mollusk-like animal. The body impression of the sedentary animal is removed to Musculopodus sedentarius n. igen. and isp. In the future, Musculopodus may be expanded to include the resting traces of other soft-bodied animals known from the fossil record. Currently, Climactichnites is known only from very shallow to emergent strata of North America; reports of this fossil in other parts of the world are misidentified trails produced by other animals.

Orthopteroid Insects

AbstractThe saltatorial orthopteroid insects did not originate in North America. Five avenues of entry were utilized in migration from other parts of the world. These were: (1) ancestral forms migrated to this region in Pangaean times when all continents formed a single land mass; (2) later in time, taxa migrated from Europe when Eurasia and North America were still joined, or later via an Atlantic land bridge; (3) ancestral forms migrated northward from the Neotropical region before the separation of the two continents or, much later, when the two continents became rejoined; (4) later arriving taxa entered North America during the Pleistocene via a Beringian land bridge; (5) some species are very recent immigrants, either because of the activities of man or by migration into Canadian territory from the south.The fossil record is very incomplete. It indicates past climatic conditions, but is of limited assistance concerning extant taxa.Pleistocene glaciation had a profound effect upon the distribution of extant species. Many species were forced to move southward to escape the advancing ice. Some species probably were eliminated. It is clear that most of the extant species have migrated northward since the recession of the Wisconsin glacier.

*Chopra's presentation of the body-mind connection provides a context for examining the work of Jacob Liberman, O.D., Ph.D., who has pioneered the application of light and color to healing imbalances in the bodymind. *The Hakomi method offers a therapeutic system which is a synthesis of other approaches including Gestalt, Bioenergetics, Feldenkrais, Reichian work and NLP. Swami Ajaya, in his comment on the back cover of the book, calls it a 'breakthrough in integrating principles of mediation and holism into psychotherapy." *These three books by Georg Feuersteinnn—who has been described by Ken Wilber as "a scholar-practitioner of the first magnitude"—constitute a core library on yoga (and more broadly on Hinduism) that will serve most people comprehensively. The author has been studying and practicing yoga for over 25 years. In these three books we find a scholarly grasp of the facts combined with experiential insight. *When I was asked to review this book, I wondered why the world needed yet another book about Yoga. As it turn-ed out, I need not have worried at all. Rodmell Press and author Jean Couch have produced an accessible, helpful and straight forward book about Yoga in twentieth century America. *It was obvious as I watched this video that Felicity Green is comfortable in her role as teacher in the Iyengar Yoga tradition. She creates an instructive classroom setting with three students, each at a different level of practice (beginning, intermediate and advanced levels), as she guides the viewer through common corrections focusing on basic problems encountered in twelve fundamental asanas.

May Sinclair

For Sinclair, the past was a wound. She feared being unable to escape it, and she feared in turn her own persistence in a form that she could not control. Mystic ecstasy – what she called the “new mysticism” – was a way of entering a timeless realm in which there was no longer any past to damage her. But she was also fascinated by what could never be left behind – hence her interest in heredity, the unconscious, and the supernatural. However, the immanence of the future can also emancipate us from the past, in Sinclair’s view, and this is the key to why mystical experience was so immensely appealing to her. Mystical experience could take the self out of the body and thus out of past traumas and into the future. False dying – like that which creates ghosts – traps the psyche in its own pain and forces it to re-experience the suffering of its life; real dying – mystical dying – involves forgetting the self and the world.

Temporal Adverbial

In languages around the world, many of the words used to talk about time originate in the domain of space (e.g. ‘a long meeting’ vs. ‘a long table’). This leads us to ask: Does Hakha Chin conform to the documented pattern of using spatial terms to talk about time? In answering this question, we also learn what components are necessary to form temporal adverbial phrases. The data presented here suggest that in the context of temporal adverbial phrases, Hakha Chin does employ spatial terms to talk about time. Specifically, the body terms hnu (literally ‘back) and hmai (literally ‘face’) are used to mean ‘last’ (as in ‘last week’) and ‘next’ (as in ‘next week’), respectively. Formation of a temporal adverbial phrase requires such a body term (hnu or hmai), which orients to either the future or past, and a term to indicate the temporal period (e.g. week, year).

The Church

When in the spring of 1817 the thirty-seven-year-old Scottish minister, Thomas Chalmers, descended upon London, the world's greatest metropolis was transfixed. The four benefit sermons that Chalmers preached between 14 May and 25 May produced electrifying results. “All the world wild about Dr. Chalmers,” wrote William Wilberforce in his diary. At the sermon for the Hibernian Society, which distributed Bibles to the Irish poor, Viscount Castlereagh, moving British spirit at the Congress of Vienna, and the future prime minister George Canning were visibly moved. For his final appearance the throng was so intense that Chalmers, arriving shortly before he was to preach, could neither get into the church nor, at first, convince the crowd that he was the preacher, so far did his nondescript appearance fall short of his grand reputation. When friends inside finally recognized Chalmers, they secured his entrance by having him walk on a plank through an open window up to the pulpit itself.

Birds Of Paradise

Birds of paradise of Alexander Blok and Viktor VasnetsovHeavenly creatures — Alkonost, Sirin and Gamajun — are mythological hybrids with the body of a bird and the head of a beautiful woman. Their origins come from the old Slavonic and Russian folklore. They are described as mythical beings that hypnotised people through singing. Russian artists, including the painter Viktor Vasnetsov and the poet-symbolist Alexander Blok, also succumbed to their charm. Blok, fascinated by Vasnetsov’s canvases Sirin and Alkonost. The Birds of Joy and Sorrow, 1896; Gamajun, the Prophetic Bird, 1895 created poetic versions of these in 1899. In the case of both artists, there is a reference to the semantics of these magical birds, known from the folklore. Alkonost means happiness and hopes, unlike Sirin, an inhabitant of the underground world. Therefore, alkonosts announce joy, while sirins, treating men with hostility, symbolize sadness, suffering and despair. The third bird connecting Blok and Vasnetsov is Gamajun — a bird, the messenger of the gods, their herald, who sings divine hymns to people and predicts the future of those who know how to listen and are open to mysteries. Special attention must be paid to colorful and linear symbolism, to which both creators refer to, as well as to mythical reminiscences Cosmic Tree. Both the painted and lyrical depictions of birds of paradise are an example of creation of a new, modernist myth, the roots of which go back to the oral culture and whose essence defines the philosophical question of the dualism of the world and man’s place in it.Райские птицы Александра Блока и Виктора ВаснецоваРайские существа — Алконост, Сирин и Гамаюн, являются мифологическим гибри- дом тела птицы и головы красивой девы. Истоки их образов восходят к древнеславянскому и русскому фольклору. Они описаны как мифологические существа, которые своим пением гипнотизируют людей. Их колдовству поддались также русские художники, среди которых были живописец Виктор Васнецов и поэт-символист Александр Блок. Блок, очарованный картинами Васнецова Сирин и Алконост. Песнь радости и печали, 1896; Гамаюн, птица вещая, 1895, создал их поэтические версии в 1899 г. В интерепретации райских суще- ствобоих художников прослеживается отсылка к магическим птицам, представленным в фольклоре. Алконост обозначает счастье и надежду, в противовес Сирин как жительницы подземного мира. Таким образом алконосты — вестники радости, зато сирины, враждебно направленные к человеку, символизируют печаль, страдание и отчаяние. Третья птица, со- единяющая Блока и Васнецова, — это Гамаюн, птица вещая, посланник богов, их герольд, услаждающая людей пением Божественных гимнов и предвещающая будущее для тех, кто умеет слушать и открыт для тайны. Особого внимания заслуживают цветовые и линейные символы, а также мифические реминисценции космическое дерево, к которыми оба творца прибегают. Живописные и лирические изображения райских птиц являются примером создания нового, модернистского мифа, корни которого лежат в устной культуре, зато суть помещается в философском вопросе о дуализм мира и место человека в нем.

The events surrounding the attacks against the World Trade Center (February 26, 1993 and September 11, 2001) and the Pentagon (September 11, 2001) generated enormous interest in terrorist activities. The global society and, in particular, North America realized how vulnerable they are to the subversive activities of small groups of determined people. President George W. Bush’s announcement of launching the “War on Terror” was an answer to these fears. The steady rebroadcasting of these events terrified most of us to the degree that we now want to find answers to the following questions: Why did this happen? What can we do to keep ourselves safe? What is the future impact of terrorism on our lives?

This article examines the past, present, and future of historical research in sport and physical education. Due to time and space limitations, the focus is on work that has emerged and is emerging in North America—particularly the United States—but it must be noted there are very active sport historians throughout the world; in departments of kinesiology, history, and American studies. This article covers two broad categories: the past to the present and the present to the future of research in sport history. Within these two sections, there is also an analysis of changes in the conduct of research by historians as this has had, and will continue to have, a major impact on the kinds of work that will be produced in the future.
