41362. Shuttleworth-Jordan, Ann B. (Rhodes U, Dept of Psychology, Grahamstown, South Africa) A process research approach to the development of method in group dream work. Group, 1995(Spr), Vol 19(1), 19-30. -- Reviews 3 research studies (A.B. Shuttleworth-Jordan and G.S. Saayman; see PA, Vol 77:12923; Shuttleworth-Jordan and C. Avis, 1994; Shuttleworth-Jordan and N. Houlston, 1994) supporting the efficacy of the original 4-step dream group model of Shuttleworth-Jordan et al. (see PA, Vol 76:19862) grounded in Jung's analytical psychology. Group involvement is facilitated by incorporating group members' contributions in the interpretation state and adding a 5th group feedback step. Adding an affective component increased dreamer involvement and therapeutic effects. These studies show the efficacy of an investigative appproach in the development of methodology in group work.

Angelou, Maya
(AN-jel-oh, MIE-yuh)

For many Americans, one of the more memorable moments during the inauguration of President Bill Clinton, on January 20, 1993, came when Maya Angelou recited the poem she had written for the occasion, "On the Pulse of Morning." Not since 1961, when Robert Frost read his work at the ceremony for President John F. Kennedy, had a poet taken part in a presidential inauguration. Angelou's writings, which attest to her gift for survival in the face of hardship and injustice, demonstrate her inexhaustible capacity for renewed hope, determination, and love -- a capacity that was reflected in "On the Pulse of Morning." In words that seemed to address her listeners both as individuals and as members of one nation, Angelou placed special emphasis on the need for renewal: "lift up your eyes upon/ This day breaking for you./ Give birth again/ To the dream."

3400 B.C. Egypt's 1st Dynasty (Thinite dynasty) unites northern and southern kingdoms under the pharaoh Menes, who has founded a city that will be called Memphis.
3000 B.C. Gilgamesh in Sumerian cuneiform is the first known written legend and tells of a great flood in which a man was saved by building an ark (see 13,600 B.C.; Smith, A.D. 1872).
The Sahara Desert has its beginnings in North Africa where overworking of the soil and overgrazing are in some places exhausting the land in a region that is largely green with crops and trees (see Lhote, A.D. 1956).
Potatoes are cultivated in the Andes Mountains of the Western Hemisphere (see A.D. 1530).
Use, Production of Mines Barred. Delegates from 89 countries meeting in Oslo,
Norway Sept. 17 approved a treaty to ban the use, production, transfer, and stockpiling of
antipersonnel land mines. The U.S. said it would not sign the treaty, citing its present
need to use antipersonnel land mines to deter an invasion of South Korea by North Korea.
Other holdouts included Russia, China, India, Pakistan, Iran and Iraq. The conference,
which had opened Sept. 1, formally adopted the treaty Sept. 18. [See below, p. 454E1].
Some 110 million land mines were currently deployed in several dozen countries around the
world. The threat of injury from live mines left over from wartime deterred citizens of
countries such as Cambodia or Angola from tilling much of their rich agricultural land. An
estimated 9,600 civilians worldwide were killed and 14,000 others were maimed by the
explosive devices each year.
Canadian Foreign Minister Lloyd Axworthy in 1996 had proposed the so-called Ottawa Process
for negotiating a land mine ban to be signed by the end of 1997, marking a more rapid
approval pace than usual for disarmament treaties. Britain's late Diana, Princess of
Wales, had crusaded in support of the ban; she had visited victims of land mines in Angola
and Bosnia-Herzegovina. [See p. 622G1].

Arcimboldo, Giuseppe, Arcimboldo also spelled ARCIMBOLDI (b. c. 1527,
Milan [Italy] -- d. 1593, Milan), Italian Mannerist painter whose grotesque compositions
of fruits, vegetables, animals, books, and other objects were arranged to resemble human
portraits. In the 20th century these double images were greatly admired by Salvador Dali
and other Surrealist painters.
Beginning his career as a designer of stained-glass windows for the Milan Cathedral,
Arcimboldo moved to Prague, where he became one of the favorite court painters to the
Hapsburg rulers Maximilian II and Rudolph II. He also painted settings for the court
theatre there and developed an expertise for illusionistic trickery. His paintings
contained allegorical meanings, puns, and jokes that were appreciated by his
contemporaries but lost upon audiences of a later date. His eccentric vision is epitomized
in his portraits "Summer" and "Winter" (Kunsthistorisches Museum,
Vienna).
3. Autobiographies
Autobiography is a difficult and demanding genre. It was known to Antiquity, and rediscovered in the Middle Ages, especially through St. Augustine's Confessiones.[1] The type was seldom used, but is particularly valuable because medieval feelings and thoughts are so little known.[2] See, for example:
GUIBERT OF NOGENT (1124), De vita sua, ed. by G. BOURGIN, Paris 1907 (Coll. Picard); English translation by C.C.S. BLAND, London 1936 and by J.F. Benton, New York 1970 (Harper Torch Book).

The three major uses of land in the contiguous 48 States are grassland pasture and range, forest-use land, and cropland, in that order. Total cropland (used for crops, used for pasture, and idled) has trended down slightly since the late 1960's. Greater variation has occurred in cropland used for crops, largely reflecting changes in cropland idled in Federal crop programs. Also, weather, such as the drought in 1988 and heavy rains in 1993, can strongly influence the mix and acreage of cropland used for crops.

The total land area of the contiguous 48 States is approximately 1.9 billion acres, with an additional 365 million acres in Alaska and a little over 4 million acres in Hawaii (table 1.1.1). Because Alaska has very little crop area and Hawaii grows primarily crops that are not grown elsewhere in the United States, the discussion in this chapter focuses on the contiguous 48 States.
Land is the first factor of production. Land's potential uses and its location determine its economic value. Land use can affect the environment and the sustainability of production. Competition and conflicts occur among users of land because land used in one way often prevents or reduces other uses (see box, "Land Use Choice: Theory and Practice").

4. Ice Dangers and Responses. The greatest danger in transiting an ice field is loss of propulsion or maneuverability. This can result in a vessel becoming trapped, especially in a moving ice field, and either driven aground or forced out of the ice and stranded. If the vessel is forced out of the water there is very little chance to maintain any equipment unless it has keel coolers. In several vessel classes, ice has a tendency to clog sea strainers and block cooling water to the main engines, ship service generators and main motors. This problem occurs most frequently in brash ice. Even if a beset vessel is not pinched out of the ice, there are other potential dangers. If a vessel is caught beam to a moving ice field, ice may start to drive up and over the deck, forcing the vessel to heel over or be pushed under the ice. Keeping the doors in the buoy ports when transiting ice fields is recommended. The doors will help keep ice off the buoy deck should the vessel be disabled. If it becomes necessary to secure propulsion in moving ice, maneuver the bow into the oncoming ice first. This will allow more time for repairs before the ice forces the situation.
