Central Asia GIS Conference - GISCA 2010
Water: Life, Risk, Energy and Landuse
May 27-28, 2010 - Bishkek, Kyrgyz Republic
The Austria-Central Asia Centre for GIScience at the Kyrgyz State University of Construction, Transportation and Architecture, and the Centre for Geoinformatics (Z_GIS), University of Salzburg, Austria are proud to announce the:
4th GIS-in-Central-Asia Conference - GISCA 2010. The main objectives of this conference are to bring together GIS academics, researchers and practitioners in the Central Asian countries and encourage international cooperation and knowledge exchange in GIS education. Geographic Information Science and Technologies have evolved into a key instrument for managing our societies, environments and infrastructures, as well as individuals’ daily lives. Continued success of this development depends on cooperation across disciplines, open information policies and a highly educated workforce. The GISCA series of conferences aims at building a Central Asian network of GIS professionals supporting the sustained development of this region into an environmentally friendly, secure and prosperous society.
In 2010, GISCA is focused on the main theme of WATER:
* Life: WATER for drinking and agriculture
* Risk: WATER posing a threat to settlements
* Energy: WATER for renewable hydropower
* Landuse: WATER controlling regional landuse
Particularly due to climate change, increasing pressure on resources, regional conflicts and social dynamics, quality and quantity of water supply are critical factors in developing our societies. GIScience offers an indispensable set of instruments for managing the water cycle.

WINE IN MOROCO
Scarcely taller than the vine from which she is picking grapes, Fatima, a Moroccan woman in her 50s, squints as she peers into the sun shining on the open plateau near Meknes.
With only a few more rows of vines left, the grape harvest is almost over and she will be moving on to picking olives.
Unfortunately we no longer have any indigenous Moroccan varieties
Jean Pierre Dehut
Les Celliers de Meknes
Fatima and a handful of the other agricultural casuals bridge the gap between the end of the nectarine and the start of the olive seasons in the acres of vineyards just outside Meknes.
But Fatima has never tasted wine - she says it is too expensive.
Nor does she realise that her job is at the cutting edge of commercial moves to sell Moroccan wine to distant markets.
Chateau Roslane, a sprawling property of more than 2,000 hectares (5,000 acres) belongs to the country's oldest winemaker and boasts Morocco's only Appellation d'Origine Controlee (AOC) - a French system which guarantees that wine has come from a specific geographical location.
It also produces a Moroccan "champagne", a sparkling wine made according to the Champagne method and which is sold locally.
But like the other handful of growers in Morocco, the owner wants to concentrate on exporting the red, white and rose, despite a healthy domestic market.
Ancient art
According to Les Celliers de Meknes' Belgian export manager, last year the company saw real growth, especially from new markets.
"Our production grew by over 12% and our biggest emerging markets are India and China," says Jean Pierre Dehut.
"This is likely to deprive European producers of some of their anticipated growth in these areas." He also predicts that the extra hectares being planted with vine seedlings will be eclipsed by the speed of growth in the market.
"Unfortunately we no longer have any indigenous Moroccan varieties," he explains.
"We use grape varieties from the Mediterranean basin.

Wine has been produced in Morocco for thousands of years, so it does not touch the raw nerve it would in Saudi Arabia, for example.
It is sold in a separate section of the country's largest supermarket chain, with specific cash tills dedicated to all transactions involving alcohol.
The first evidence of wine production in Morocco was in the time of the Phoenicians - the first millennium BC.
Prized by the Romans, the strong wine was sent back to Italy.
During the years of the protectorate in the early 20th Century, the French colonised the Meknes region in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, planting hundreds of kilometres of vines to satisfy the need of compatriots living in the North African country, but also for consumption in France.
Until the Treaty of Rome in 1957 banned blending wines, the highly coloured, robust Moroccan wine was shipped back to France in bulk and frequently added as a boost to Gallic wine.
After Morocco gained its independence, King Hassan II offered parcels of land in the 1960s at knock-down prices to foreigners so they would continue wine production.
Chinese bottling factory
Some French took up the offer at the time and others are now purchasing vineyards taking advantage of low land prices, manpower and transport costs.

Chinese bottling factory
Some French took up the offer at the time and others are now purchasing vineyards taking advantage of low land prices, manpower and transport costs.
But in return buyers have to comply with a "Cahier de Charges", a list of responsibilities that include employing a certain number of local people.
Wine-growing, categorised along with other agricul
tural products, is tax-free until 2012, providing the farming is not on an industrial scale.
Members of ASPRAM, the Moroccan wine-growers association, buy a percentage of their grapes from local growers so as to remain within the scope of the law.
Mehdi Bouchaara, a member of ASPRAM and director of Les Celliers de Meknes, says that Morocco is currently producing 300,000 hectolitres of wine each year, making it one of the most significant in the Arab world.
"At the moment we are in negotiations in China and will shortly be building a bottling factory there. Most of our wine is exported in bulk," he explains.
"With our Chinese partners we will put it in bottles that bear a Moroccan label."
Currently only about 1,000 hectolitres are exported, but with a foothold in China, there is a chance that the record of almost 300m hectolitres clocked up during the French protectorate could be matched or even bettered

Portmouth appoint avram grnt as new manager
Grant was already at Fratton Park as director of footballFormer Chelsea boss Avram Grant has been appointed Portsmouth manager after Paul Hart was relieved of the role.
The 54-year-old Israeli was already at the club in his second spell working as director of football.
He will take charge of Saturday's home game with Manchester United in that role as his work permit needs to be changed before he can become manager.
"He knows the club, players and set-up so it was logical to make him manager," said chief executive Peter Storrie.
Grant first came to Fratton Park as technical director in June 2007 but was soon snapped up by Chelsea and within months became coach at Stamford Bridge after Jose Mourinho left the Blues.
Grant has built up a good reputation, topped with managing Chelsea. He wouldn't go into this lightly with us unless he knew that he'd have something available for the transfer window
powered_by_pompey
In the 2007/2008 season, Grant guided Chelsea to second place in the Premier League and also to the Champions League final, where the Blues lost on penalties to Manchester United and which turned out to be his last game in charge.
Portsmouth are currently bottom of the Premier League, with only seven points from their 13 games so far.
"Avram is a very experienced and respected manager who has managed at the highest level," added Storrie.
"The board believes he is the man to help steer the club out of the relegation zone.
"He will take charge of training on Friday alongside first-team coaches Paul Groves and Ian Woan."
The position of Grant's predecessor Hart remains unclear.
Initially he was offered the chance to return to his old post of working in youth development, which he declined, but he is believed to have had second thoughts.
Hart, who was director of youth operations before replacing the sacked Tony Adams as manager in February 2009, was in charge during a particularly turbulent part of Portsmouth's history.
He kept them up last season but lost several high-profile players such as Peter Crouch and Glen Johnson over the summer, and this season the club's ownership has been in doubt.
Arab businessman Sulaiman Al Fahim bought the club from Alexander Gaydamak in August, but failed to come up with fresh investment, leading to a situation where players' wages were not paid on time in September.
In October Al Fahim sold his majority shareholding in the club to Saudi tycoon Ali Al Faraj, but any hopes Hart may have had of this making his job easier were hit when the Premier League imposed a transfer embargo on the club over debts owed to other club
Global Warming Alarmist: Evil and Wrong
A current movie-video by Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney gives Al Gore and his alarmist associates the benefit of the doubt about their intentions and integrity by naming their movie “Not Evil Just Wrong”.
The recent release of thousands of emails from the inner circle of Consensus-Alarmists now makes it clear that they are both Evil and Wrong!
-
Would you buy a used car from two PHD’s that explain their fraudulent work as follows:
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/21/science/earth/21climate.html
In a 1999 e-mail exchange about charts showing climate patterns over the last two millenniums, Phil Jones, a longtime climate researcher at the East Anglia Climate Research Unit, said he had used a “trick” employed by another scientist, Michael Mann, to “hide the decline” in temperatures.
Dr. Mann, a professor at Penn State, confirmed in an interview that the e-mail message was real. He said the choice of words by his colleague was poor but noted that scientists often used the word “trick” to refer to a good way to solve a problem, “and not something secret.”
-
The US Congress and other governments are using the data from these Consensus-Alarmists to impose energy rationing and massive taxes and spending upon the American people. Congress should immediately call hearings into the content of these Emails and demand formal release of all documentation by all the groups upon which our national energy policy is being redirected.
-
http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2009/11/24/taking_liberties/entry5761180.shtml
Sen. James Inhofe, an Oklahoma Republican, said on Monday the leaked correspondence suggested researchers "cooked the science to make this thing look as if the science was settled, when all the time of course we knew it was not,"
-
Instead of going to Copenhagen to participate in the Global Warming Alarmist Convention, Obama should be calling a summit to bring ALL the scientists together to review the real and valid data that clearly belies the Gore-Hypothesis that humans have caused our 250 years of natural global warming that began in 1750, at the end of the little ice age.
-
One degree warming in the last 100 years and no warming in the past 10 years does not represent a global warming crisis that is clearly not man-made.
Our energy dependence on our enemies is the crisis and our government has not implemented plans for any change to that dependence.

TROCA-TROCA
Dissident Sexualities
Presentations by Artists and Curators
Troca-trocas is a two-day series of public talks in Rio de Janeiro with artist and curators from Latin America, whom in their practice deal with dissident sexualities and their context-specific cultural significance.
At a historical moment where the Gay International’s globalizing formats of ethics and identification - such as "Gay pride" and "LGBT” as a uniforming label - are adopted in different local contexts around the world, troca-trocas deals with practices that deal with the construction of gender and sexuality in the public sphere in a micro-political experience.
“Troca-trocas” is Portuguese for "exchanges". In the male gay slang of Brazil it refers to "fucking equally", where he who receives also gives and he who gives also receives. However, in the general Brazilian slang, "troca-trocas" also describes the experiences of sexual discovery and experimentation during childhood.

Giussepe Campuzano
Museo Travesti del Peru (The Peruvian Transvestite Museum) by Giussepe Campuzano is a research platform which hosts tangible and intangible memoirs (archives, artworks, oral history) which bear witness to the visibility and social mobility of travesties throughout the country's national history. The Museum gathers material dating from the foundational myths of Incan society to the neo-liberal post Fujimori present; further helping to construct a new travesty (trans-cultural) historiography.
Giusseppe Campuzano was born in Lima in 1969, Studied Philosophy and since 1990 he cross-dresses as an art practice. Since 2003 he has carried out research on the origins, contexts and significance of travestism in Peru. His Museum has been shown in different formats at numerous international exhibitions including (selection): En todas partes; Politicas da diversidade sexual na arte, Centro Galego de Arte Contemporanea, 2009; Trienal de Chile, Santiago, 2009; Staging Citizenship Hemispheric Institute, Bogota, 2009.He has also published Reclaiming Travesti Histories (Bulletin, 2006); Gender, Identity and Travesti Rights in Peru, Development with a Body: Sexualities, Development and Human Rights (Zed Books, 2008)

Victor Manuel Rodriguez
Scholar, cultural agent and curator based in Bogota. He served as the City’s cultural chancellor for five years. Trained in Art History at Goldsmith's University of London, he earned his Phd degree on Cultural Studies at Rochester University, having Professor Douglas Crimp as his thesis director.
He has curated numerous exhibitions, those to be acknowledge are Un Caballero no se sienta asi, Galeria Santa Fe, 2003 and Yo no soy esa, Galeria Santa Fe, 2005 which brought to the art field of Colombia questions upon queer representation. He also participates in symposia on GLBT policies, which he has worked with as being part of the local district government. He is currently a Professor and researcher at National University in Colombia.
Maria Galindo
The artistic-activist practice of Andean femenist María Galindo, challenges directly the racial and social hierarchies that render sexism and homophobia in Bolivia's idiosyncrasy. By means of activism, street performance and television appearances, she has created a true politically engaged practice that takes place in the public sphere.
Galindo is co-founder and director of Mujeres Creando, a feminist organization based in Santa Cruz, Bolivia that seeks justice against physical and symbolic violence to women and homosexuals in Bolivia. The manifesto of Mujeres Creando has also helped understand that indigenous heritage has been violated by a patriarchal oppressive colonial society. It researches the complex construct of sexuality and gender inequality in a multicultural and multiracial and multilinguistic society like Bolivia’s.

Artist-in-residence
Juan Pablo Echeverri (Colombia, 1978. Lives and works in Bogotá)
Studied his BFA at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Bogotá and has fulfilled artist-in-residency programs in the UK at Site Gallery and Braziers International. His photographs, films, videos and performances explore and disturb notions of individual identity, image and gender in private fantasies, challenging their representation in the collective. Through reenactment, humor and parody, Echeverri reproduces the celebration of narcissism. His work has been shown at The Photographer’s Gallery, London 2008; Site Gallery, Sheffield, 2009; Galeria Santa Fe, Bogota; Museum of Modern Art of Bogotá, 2009; Bienal de La Habana, 2009.

www.clam.org.br
Durante duas noites um grupo de artistas e curadores vindos do Peru, Colômbia, México/Inglaterra e Bolívia apresentarão palestras sobre pesquisas em arte e cultura visual que indagam as sexualidades dissidentes nos seus contextos. Num momento histórico em que os formatos de ética e de identidades globalizantes da Gay International - tais como o Orgulho Gay e a sigla LGBT como etiquetas uniformizadoras – têm sido adotados em diferentes contextos ao redor do mundo, o encontro Troca-troca procura apresentar e debater as experiências micropolíticas de representação na esfera pública das sexualidades dissidentes em relação às hierarquias sociais, historiografias pós-coloniais e os contextos políticos particulares de diferentes países da America Latina.
O encontro troca-troca é coordenado pelo curador Inti Guerrero (Colômbia/Holanda), recebe apoio do Fundo Prince Claus, Arts Collaboratory e Capacete Entretenimentos e está sendo organizado pelo Centro Latino-americano em Sexualidade e Direitos Humanos (CLAM/IMS-UERJ).

20:10-20:25 Coffe-break
20:25-20:55 Pablo Leon de La Barra (Mexico-Inglaterra) - "Pablo’s International Magazine; Macho not rough - art, men and architecture"
Apresentação da pesquisa que contribuiu para a publicação dos volumes da revista “Pablo’s International que relacionam a sexualidade masculina com experiências contraculturais em diferentes contextos urbanos.
Pablo León de La Barra (Ciudad de Mexico, 1972) formado em arquitetura e urbanismo, é artista, editor, curador morando em Londres. Foi curador das exposições To Be Political it Has to Look Nice, Apexart, New York, 2003; Glory Hole, Architecture Foundation, Londres, 2006 e participou de mostras como Localismos, Cidade do Mexico, 2004; Tropical Abstraction, Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, 2005; BMW-9th Baltic Triennial, CAC-Lithuania and ICA-London, 2005; Globos Sonda/Trial Balloons, MUSAC, Leon, 2006; Nothing Really Matters When You Wear A Big Moustache, Locus, Athens 2006. Pablo León de La Barra planeja publicar um novo volume da revista dedicado ao Rio de Janeiro, fazendo associações com as contraculturas sexuais dos anos 1970 representadas na época tanto pelas artes visuais como na cultura vernacular e uma possível contracultura sexual hoje. Paralelamente realizará uma pesquisa para compor um arquivo pessoal de revistas gay impressas no Brasil durante a ditadura.
26 de Novembro – quinta-feira
19:00-19:40 Maria Galindo (Bolivia) - "Feminismo nos Andes"
A palestra apresentará diferentes projetos controversos realizados pela Galindo junto com o coletivo Mujeres Creando em espaços públicos na Bolivia. Seja este espaço físico (a praça) ou midiático (a televisão), as intervenções realizadas são uma reação à experiência micropolítica do machismo, homofobia e racismo da sociedade multicultural de seu país. Um caso específico discute o seu protesto contra a visita do presidente Irani Mahmud Ahmadineyad a Bolivia, convidado por Evo Morales.
A prática de Maria Galindo não esteticiza ‘o político’, mas trata-se justamente de um agenciamento cultural que atua diretamente sobre as injustiças dos governos racistas e sexistas na Bolívia. Através de ativismo, performance urbana e processos legislativos, ela criou uma proposta engajada em sua esfera pública. Maria Galindo é co-fundadora da organização feminista Mujeres Creando, que procura justiça contra a violência física e simbólica infringida às mulheres e aos homossexuais na Bolívia. O manifesto das Mujeres Creando tem ajudado a compreender o abuso do poder patriarcal e latifundiário que tem apagado a herança indígena de seu país, através de pesquisas de experiências locais de desigualdade de gênero em uma sociedade multicultural. Galindo participou igualmente de mostras como a 27a Bienal de São Paulo; Como viver Juntos e Espacio Uno, Centro de Arte Museo Reina Sofia, Madrid.

Obama: et tu Matthews
At long last the major media is starting to have ObamaRemorse!
The major media hand picked Obama and refused to acknowledge any negative aspects of his character, accomplishments, associates or proposals.
They didn’t need facts – their minds were made up!
-
Now, after just 10 months in office Obama has yet to book any significant accomplishment:

Subjects: ISDE Joined the Group of Earth Observations
Prof. Guo Huadong, Secretary General of ISDE. Image: HUNAGI Visuals resourcey, 2007
From our daily mail. Prof. Wang Changlin, Director of the Secretariat of ISDE wrote in his recet letter:
"At the 6th plenary session of the Group of Earth Observations (GEO) held in Washington DC on November 17, 2009, the International Society for Earth Observations was accepted to be a participating organization of the GEO, together with International Union of Geological Sciences. The above announcement was made by Dr. José Achache, GEO Secretariat Director at the plenary session. Total 7 organizations including for AIT, CUAHSI, EMWIS TU, ILTER, ISDE, IUGS, and SMEBD applied for being members of the GEO’s Participating Organizations, and the final decision was made at the GEO Executive Committee meeting one day before the Plenary session. In addition, 3 country members joined the GEO this year, which made GEO’s constitution of 83 country members and the European Commission, as well as 58 participating organizations.
At the opening ceremony of the 6th International Symposium on Digital Earth held in Beijing, Dr. José Achache gave a presentation, and mentioning that ISDE had not participated in GEO’s activities, and wish ISDE could make contributions to GEO. Thereby, Prof. Guo Huadong wrote a letter to GEO Secretariat, and on behalf of ISDE submitted a proposal of being a member of the GEO’s participating organizations. The acceptance of ISDE to GEO will strengthen ISDE’s international recognition, and enable ISDE to participate into GEO’s events. For ISDE, it should implement the GEOSS 10 years strategic plan and accept GEO's Cape Town Declaration in 2007.
The next GEO’s ministerial summit and plenary session will be held in Beijing next year. For more information of GEO VI in Washington please refers to the report: http://www.prnewswire.com/...

Goal 6 - Geoff Hurst (England)RESULT: England 4, West Germany 2

ObamaCare Part 2
Roanoke Times, 11-21-09, Pg 1 & 18: GOP: Health test recommendations could affect care.

ObamaCare Part 0: Take a Pain Pill
There is the Presidents direct statement at a recorded public meeting to a lady that her mother should have a pain pill instead of a heart defibrillator because senior care is taking up to much of the Medicare budget.

ObamaCare Part 1: Total malfeasance of responsibilities for H1N1 vaccine.
Over 1000 Americans including 100 children have died from H1N1.The government now HOPES to have 50 million does of vaccine by mid-November(A FRACTION OF THE REQUIRED AND PROMISED AMOUNT).

ObamaCare Part 2: Delay Mammograms and Pap smears to “later” (perhaps too late!)
The white house denies that their medical panels will determine covered and paid procedures. More white house and democrat lies. The legislation specifically states that medical coverage will be determined by just exactly such panels.
-
I personally asked Congressman Pierriello at his Rocky Mount, Va town meeting:Where is the list of Medicare service reductions and eliminations that will result from the $500 Billion reduction in the Medicare budget at the very time millions of baby-boomers are entering the system.His answer: “That will not be published until after the law is passed and determined by medical panels.”What a gross and obscene process and procedure and insult to all Americans!
-
The personal-best democrat obscene comment on the government health panels:
“Insurance companies may use this new recommendation as yet another reason to deny women coverage for mammograms” Democrat Sen Barbara Mikulski, D-Md.
Hello! It’s a federal government panel!
They are setting the service standard for the United States of America!
This is not being done by insurance companies!
And by the way, health insurance company’s profits are at the 2% level!
-
Coming Attractions in the ObamaCare, PelosiCare, ReidCare Bills
Massive new government spending and debt
Massive new personal spending on premiums and co-pay and bills
Major reductions and elimination of medical service
Coverage of over 12 million illegal immigrants
Tax paid elective abortions
Prohibition for individuals to purchase medical services with their own assets.
(That's why Canadian snow-birds have major health care procedures done using their own money while they are in Florida)
Fines and penalties for businesses and individual deemed not to be in-compliance.
This is progress? This is the hope and change we voted for?

skip divided
when you walk in the room everything disappears
when you walk in the room it's a terrible mess
when you walk in the room I start to melt
when you walk in the room I follow you round like a dog
REVISITING OSCAR NIEMEYER'S CASA CANOAS, RIO DE JANEIRO
the thing about revisiting places you had visited in the past, is that it's not only about how the place has changed (or not), or about how you have changed, but more about how your interests and perceptions have changed during that time...
go to 2001, pre-digital camera visit...
