Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like a kaleidoscope, the Caribbean world displays the vibrant colors of its diversity. Ethnic groups from four continents brought their customs and beliefs to this New World. The sheer number of African people brought to the Caribbean islands perpetuated through their spiritual vitality, the central role played by traditional religions in African life. Though they hadn't brought along the material support of their worship, they had buried in their memory other essential supports: memories of gods, of myths, rites, rhythms, tales, legends, proverbs, songs, dances, sculptures, all the fundamental vectors of their religious thought. Through a process of secularization, continuity, adaptation, creation, syncretism and synthesis, these elements helped vitalize the artistic, profane and sacred domains of Caribbean cultures.

Download or read book JAMAICAN ANANSI TALES AND STORIES written by Anon E. Mouse and published by Abela Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2016-12-10 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE STORIES in this collection were recorded from the lips of over sixty negro story-tellers in the remote country districts of Jamaica during two visits to the island in the summer of 1919 and the winter of 1921. The role of Anansi, the trickster spider, is akin to the Native American Coyote and the (Southern African) Bantu Hare. Herein you will find 149 Anansi tales and a further 18 Witticisms. The stories are categorised into Animal Stories, Old Stories (chiefly of sorcery), Dance and Song and Witticisms. You will find stories as varied in title and content as “The Fish-Basket”, “The Storm“, “The King's Two Daughters”, “The Gub-Gub Peas”, “Simon Tootoos”, “The Tree-Wife” and many, many more unique tales. In some instances, Martha Warren Beckwith was able to record musical notation to accompany the stories. As such you will find these scattered throughout the book. In this way the original style of the story-telling, which in some instances mingles story, song and dance, is as nearly as possible preserved. Two influences have dominated story-telling in Jamaica, the first an absorbing interest in the magical effect of song which far surpasses that in the action of the story; the second, the conception of the spider Anansi as the trickster hero among a group of animal figures. "Anansi stories" regularly form the entertainment during wake-nights, and it is difficult not to believe that the vividness with which these animal actors take part in the story springs from the idea that they really represent the dead in the underworld whose spirits have the power, according to the native belief, of taking animal form. In the local culture, magic songs are often used in communicating with the dead, and the obeah-man who sets a ghost upon an enemy often sends it in the form of some animal; hence there are animals which must be carefully handled lest they be something other than they appear. The importance of animal stories is further illustrated by the fact that animal stories form the greater part of this volume. 33% of the net profit from the sale of this book will be donated to Sentebale, a charity supporting children orphaned by AIDS in Lesotho.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new dawn, a new opportunity, a different way of life is what Timbo dreams of. Timbo has never lived anywhere other than in a little village with his family and friends on a tiny island in the south pacific. He has never known what lies on the other side of the world. Ever since he was a young child, he has always wondered what it would be like to experience a different life. He yearns to make a success of himself and explore opportunities for a hopeful future. Leaving his beloved home to take up a high school scholarship, Timbo begins his journey that will catapult him into a world where he is presented with opportunities, challenges and life changing experiences. What begins as a quest to be successful, Timbo finds that the road is not always easy. Weathering storms to travel from one country to another and faced with an opportunity to become a radiographer, Timbo finds that assistance for underdeveloped countries from the developed countries and UNO and its subsidiaries is his ticket to success. This is Timbo’s tribute; to thank the unknown donors that have made his journey a success.

Download or read book The Statistical Theory of Linear Systems written by E. J. Hannan and published by SIAM. This book was released on 1988-01-01 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1988, The Statistical Theory of Linear Systems deals with identification (in the sense of obtaining a model from data) of multi-input and multi-output linear systems, in particular systems in ARMAX and state space form. The book emphasizes the underlying theory. It covers structure theory, in particular realization and parameterization of linear systems, with special emphasis on the analysis of properties of parameter spaces and parameterizations relevant for estimation and model selection; Gaussian maximum likelihood estimation of the real-valued parameters of linear systems, with an emphasis on asymptotic theory; model selection, in particular order estimation, by information criteria such as AIC or BIC, with an emphasis on asymptotic theory; procedures for calculation of estimates; and approximation by rational functions. This edition includes an extensive new introduction that outlines central ideas and features of the subject matter, as well as developments since the book's original publication, such as subspace identification, data-driven local coordinates, and the results on post-model-selection estimators. It also provides a section of errata and an updated bibliography.

Download or read book Etton written by Francis Pryor and published by English Heritage Publishing. This book was released on 2014-02-15 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Neolithic causewayed enclosure at Etton, cut into a Pleistocene gravel river terrace, occupied a floodplain 'island' within a relict stream meander in the Welland Valley, Maxey, Cambridgeshire. Regular flooding laid down layers of clay alluvium, mainly in Iron Age and later times, preserving a palaesol and protecting the site from modern plough damage. The causewayed enclosure, small by British standards, comprised a single, 'squashed oval' shaped ditch. Excavations revealed c 80% of the interior and most date the construction and use to the fourth millennium cal BC, that is, early in the tradition of British causewayed enclosures. Most of the excavated features are Early Neolithic; Late Neolithic and earlier Bronze Age features were associated with the ditch of a cursus, which traversed the enclosure diagonally. Causeways entered the enclosure on the north, which featured a substantial timber gateway, east, west, and possibly the south (which could not be examined). Through the life of the site additional features were built and aligned with care: a north-south dividing fence, aligned with the north gateway, in Phase 1 and numerous ritual pits, back-filled with pottery (often deliberately smashed), flint, and animal bones. These pits may have represented individual people and the cntents allude to the person's skills, achievements, or social position. The nearest ditch segment probably represented an individual's family or kin-group. The inhabitants were careful not to damage earlier deposits when digging new pits, and it was thus possible to define an evolving tradition of carefully structured ritual deposits. Objects such as complete pots or skulls were also placed close to causeways, within the buttends of individual ditch segments. In Phase 2 (Late Neolithic) such deposits were more sporadic, but ritual continued to dominate. Most of the pottery from the pits is a regional variant of the Hurst Fen tradition. Fengate-style wares also feature prominently, and flintwork, 'imported' polished stone axes, and other stone objects were also deposited. The western arc of the enclosure ditch produced some 5000 pieces of worked wood, most of which derived from coppice.
