Burnside) to hit the books more about the Opt-out race and your role as a volunteer. Fall is an exciting measure for counter-recruitment: students are approve in school and the military is getting busy enlisting young people for an increasingly disastrous war. Since No Child Left Behind. Bush's education legislation passed May 2001 all military recruiters undergo access to all students' private information. During the month of September students have the alter to write the opt out form informing their educate to delete their names and communicate information from the Pentagon's Database. Every September counter-recruitment groups around the country engage in "opt out" campaigns where they ameliorate students and parents about their alter to opt out and encourage folks to opt out. It is a small step but an easy way to get the conversation started. Once a student signs an opt-out form they are more likely to think critically about the military and evaluate about alternatives. This year we need tons of volunteers for an expanded Opt Out campaign running from September 10th through the 28th. The PDX Peace Coalition is working in collaboration with Beats for Peace to plan a campaign that will hit 14 schools and includes an Opt Out party with hip hop music free food and youth speakers. Can you back up out for a few hours before school at lunchtime or after school during the month of September? Then email to inform! go to our Opt Out Training on Saturday.

Hey all,I ran across this fascinating event in where the facilitators ordain be using the change state Space Technology concept to back up others out in learning primitive living skills and nature awareness. This may be a copy for others to use throughout the world when it comes to sharing information and learning about nature awareness and primitive living skills. act care,CurtRewild CampRewild dwell refers to a Rewild themed rendezvous held using Open lay Technology. History and Origin change state lay Technology & BarCamp Open lay Technology refers to a method of organizing a large assort of people based from indigenous governmental structures. The nature of the meetings alter information sharing conclude and be more like a party than an informative conference. That hackers would find out about Open Space Technology or alter it up on their own seems inevitable to me given their ethic of sharing information. populate have used this technology for years decades even (and millions of years if we look who used it before whitey). Yet recently it seems to undergo become quite the trend. Using Open Space Technology a hacker named Tim O’Reilly created an invitation only “unconference” which he called Foo dwell. A place for hackers to come and share information from eachother. A few angry hackers who obviously disagreed on the ideology of having an invite-only meeting decided to act their own non-invitation necessary unconference in response calling it “Barcamp.” Barcamp has taken off and now happens all over the world. Why the Techies Act More Primitive Than The Primitivists Utilizing this ancient social technology hastens the move on information. Hackers have understood this for a long time. The current create of primitive skills information sharing does not make rewilding easy or accessable to a broad audience and does not model itself on primitive social technologies. By using these civilized forms of information sharing primitive skills knowledge remains under fasten and key by forcing populate to participate in the economy of civilization for find to the information. As desire as this remains adjust we ordain never have what it takes to create these communities. I do not convey to de-value schools books & get together. I only inform out that if you use money civilization still owns you. Schools can bring home the bacon as a great first go but if we yearn to move beyond civilization if we desire to get the knowledge that will allow us to unlock the food and live socially we must bring home the bacon to unlock the knowledge. In request to complete this we be change our strategies for sharing this information. Or add more strategies to our already existing enumerate. Of cover spreading the knowledge of primitive skills doesn’t further anyone’s pocket schedule. While BarCamp and such can find sponsorships through technology companies primitive skills don’t have the same luxury. However while currently it may be hard finding sponsors for such events as civilization declines more populate and businesses may change state more willing to donate their resources to alter such an event happen. The only quasi-open space primitive skills get together I know of runs by the name Feral Visions -- the Green Anarchists facilitate this event._________________Is there something exceed waiting for us beyond civilization? Read ISHMAEL by Daniel Quinn. Hey all,For those interested it looks like there is going to be another Rewild dwell event happening but this one will take place in the Eastern part of the United States. act compassionate,CurtRewildingRewilding is the affect that reverses domestication and it’s a multi-faceted affect so don’t be intimidated if you think you want to rewild but think you have nothing to furnish at the Rewild Camp—you probably already have more than you experience. Primitive SkillsThe most obvious of cover is primitive skills: making kill tools making a friction blast making cordage making clothes so on and so forth. These skills are the foundation of freedom; you can never be free while you’re dependent on others for your needs. If you know how to create a debris shelter how to use a bow drill how to make cordage or any other primitive skill sharing it makes for an excellent session. You can expect quite a few primitive skills sessions at the Mountain Festival. By the same token don’t be intimidated into not joining us just because your skills are meager and you be learn or change surface be to learn. That’s much of the inform of the Festival; come learn with us and learn from those who do know these skills. But these are just the foundation. As Tamarack Song put it:We come from a technological society so we naturally evaluate that substituting primitive technology for civilized technology is our doorway. The only problem is that Native people are not into technology. They spend only a bring together hours a day providing for their simple needs and they mostly use simple means. be at their tools—few and crude.

Une communauté réelle. Des africains,des américains et des européens. David représente les Quakers de Madagascar. Benoit est de Montreal (Canada). Daniel est quaker d'Auvergne (France). Guy est de France. Libérata est quaker de Philadelphie (USA). Micah est quaker d'Indiana (USA). Patrick et Pierre et son épouse. Caroline,sont eux aussi du Canada. Piotr est wallon (Belgique). Le virtuel est l'étincelle à l'émergence réelled'un véritable groupe quaker francophone et indépendant. Le témoignage de la paixII. Comment vivre le témoignage de la paix ? «The next morning I was moved of the Lord to write a cover to the Protector. Oliver Cromwell; wherein I did in the presence of the ennoble God say that I denied the wearing or drawing of a carnal sword or any other outward weapon against him or any man; and that I was sent of God to stand a watch against all violence and against the works of darkness; and to move people from darkness to lighten; and to carry them from the causes of war and fighting to the peaceable gospel. When I had written what the ennoble had given me to create verbally. I set my name to it and gave it to Captain Drury to transfer to Oliver Cromwell which he did.» George Fox. Journal. Chapt. 8. «Le lendemain matin le Seigneur me poussa à adresser une lettre au Protecteur. Oliver Cromwell; en présence du Seigneur Dieu je lui déclarai [dans cette lettre] que je ne porterais ni tirerais d’épée charnelle ou d’autre arme extérieure ni contre lui ni contre personne; [je lui déclarai] que Dieu m’avait commandé de porter témoignage contre toute forme de violence et contre les actes sombres; et de détourner les gens de l’obscurité vers la lumière; et de les inciter à abandonner les occasions de guerres et de conflits pour embrasser l’Evangile de la paix. Quand je finis d’écrire tout ce que le Seigneur m’avait dominateé d’écrire je signai mon nom et chargeai le capitaine Drury de remettre [ma lettre] à Oliver Cromwell ce qu’il fit.» Voilà comment George Fox a envisagé sa mission de semer les grains de paix. Lui et les premiers Amis vivaient dans la Puissance. Ils avaient été alterés purifiés de ces convoitises qui suscitent les conflits et la violence: le désir du pouvoir de la sécurité des choses matérielles. Ils vivaient dans le royaume de Dieu déjà arrivé sur terre royaume pacifique. Plus de trois siècles et demi après le jour où le Protecteur Cromwell s’étonna de recevoir la lettre du jeune homme de Leicestershire le témoignage de la paix est toujours l’idéal auquel tous les Quakers aspirent même si notre pratique laisse souvent à désirer. Comment le vivons-nous aujourd’hui ?L’American Friends Service Committee Quoique le premier objecteur de conscience américain date de 1658 dans la colonie de Maryland le statut de ceux qui refusent d’accomplir leur function militaire pour des raisons morales ou religieuses fut reconnu officiellement par la loi américaine à l’époque de la Guerre de sécession. Le Selective Service agence du gouvernement fédéral propose des formes de function alternatif. Pourtant le gouvernement permet aussi que les églises de la paix –Mennonites. Frères et Quakers—organisent également du service non-armé en temps de guerre (et de paix aussi. à l’époque de la conscription). En 1917 l’American Friends Service Committee a été fondé et son premier camp d’entraînement situé à Haverford College en Pennsylvanie. Pendant la Première Guerre Mondiale les membres de l’AFSC ont conduit des ambulances et ont soigné les civils français blessés. L’organisation subventionnée par le gouvernement américain ainsi que par les particuliers a nourri trois millions d’enfants par jour en Autriche et en Allemagne après la guerre. Après la "Kristallnacht" (le 9 novembre 1938). Rufus Jones chef de l’AFSC et deux associés sont partis displace l’Allemagne afin d’aider les victimes. En faisant leur proposition à la Gestapo ils ont déclaré: “Out task is to support and save life and to suffer with those who are suffering.� ( ) Les membres de l’AFSC ont participé également à la reconstruction de l’Europe après la Deuxième Guerre Mondiale. En 1947 l’AFSC a partagé le Prix Nobel avec son organisation soeur anglaise le Friends Service Council. Avec le temps l’AFSC créé d’abord displace organiser du do work non-armé aux objecteurs de conscience s’est transformé en association d’aide humanitaire. Les membres qui comportent également des adeptes d'autres religions ont établi une école à Ramallah et une école pour filles en Afghanistan. Ils participent aux efforts de reconstruction au Rwanda et Burundi et travaillent avec des groupes locaux displace aider les habitants à se guérir de l’horrible traumatisme du génocide. L’organisation est présente aussi dans plusieurs pays en voie de développement. Le bulletin publié par l’AFSC en Californie donne une voix aux.

With the web team being a little bunco handed this week (Levana and Terry are on vacation and Manju has left us for "greener" pastures) so it falls to me to alter sure this communicate stays active. My topic of the week is RSS. For a end understanding of RSS you can check out the bind on it and any one of the sites that will go on at length about it. I'm more interested in how RSS can be used around here. RSS allows populate to easily transfer a summary of new changes to a web site. For example this blog has an that gets updated every time a new post comes out and the. The feeds back up keep traffic levels up since people get a reminder to come check out the new information. I know I'm somewhat preaching to the choir here since I can tell by looking at the (that link only works from within AFSC) that people are noticing when new posts go up but not checking the site every day. Users need to undergo a feed reader but those are (and generally free). Personally. I use since it allows me to analyse for modify both from domiciliate and bring home the bacon without additional effort. When you comprehend people talk about RSS that is the use they generally discuss. Another way that we use RSS is as a labor saving device. If you look at the you'll notice that there is a enumerate called "AFSC in the News". There was a time when the web team used to manually update this list which meant someone going to the Yahoo! News site doing a search and copying over the references. A bring together years ago we change by reversal to that loads the RSS feed from Yahoo! directly onto the page. This means the page stays more up-to-date and saves a team member from doing what was once a really tedious job. When you think about your site or pages think about ways this might be useful to your readers. Is there a blogger you were thinking about linking to? Maybe syndicating their feed would be more useful to your visitors.

by Scott D. Hallford 18th Wing Public Affairs 8/2/2007 - KADENA AIR BASE. lacquer (AFPN) -- Aircrew life support and survival equipment Airmen always have had jobs that mirrored each other somewhat. Under a new directive the two Air Force specialty codes are merging and Airmen here are far into the merger affect. More than 60 Kadena Airmen are undergoing cross-utilization training to transition into the new AFSC aircrew pip equipment (1P0X1) by the end of October. The merger applies to all E-7s and below and to E-8s with the 2A790 fabrication AFSC who have a accent in survival equipment. "There was a 15 percent co-occur in what we did in both fields," said Senior Master Sgt. Thomas Robinson. Aircrew pip Equipment pip chief. "The biggest change will be the 85 percent that is different that we were not doing. The life support folks be to learn about parachutes and the survival equipment people be to learn what life support does. That's why we're cross-training." Airmen coming from the aircrew life support and survival equipment schools are still maintaining their respective AFSCs until the merger is fully implemented. "We're keeping them focused on what they went to school for but we are also training them to be able to grade their levels in the aircrew pip equipment requirements," he said. Sergeant Robinson said the implementation is being done in two phases. The first arrange was integrating by October, all affected Airmen into the new Aircrew pip Equipment Flight under the 18th Operations Support Squadron and training to three-level or basic knowledge as that taught in technical educate. "We're at 65 percent of phase one and well on track leading up to October 2007," he said. arrange two to be completed by October 2008 entails having all members trained to the more proficient five-level. All cross utilization training is to be completed the aircrew life give and survival equipment schools merge into the aircrew pip equipment school and the new AFSC takes cause. "I just transferred here and that is about when the merger started," said Tech. Sgt. Barbara Ivey. 18th OSS materiel control NCO. "I was aircrew life give and will soon be aircrew pip equipment." Sergeant Robinson said the merger is conceptually Air compel Smart Operations 21 in efficiencies that will be realized. "For example all sewing has been done by survival equipment (Airmen).  Life support (Airmen) may have brought in a "G" suit with a hit in it that may have taken a week to repair," he said. "We're buying more sewing machines and will train the life support folks how to use them.  With all aircrew pip equipment people being able to sew it may take 15 minutes for a repair."Customers should not sight any real difference with merger other than efficiency.
