I'm a very satisfied user of Minaret 1.3 (see below) for the Mac; it corresponds exactly to Wuestenfeld/Mahler. Arno Schmitt, a friend of mine from Berlin has written a simple Hijri-Christion conversion program (in PASCAL; with German menues) that runs under DOS, and is based on a BASIC algorithm that was published some years ago in "Die Welt des Islams", if I remember correctly. If anyone is interested, I could try to get hold of it; but it would take a little time, as he is not on the net. For more information, I suggest the following: 1) gopher to latif.com and look for the Islamic Computing Resources Guide 2) or FTP to cs.bu.edu and look in the directory /amass The following extract of the AMASS index may be of interest to you: ___________________________________________________________________________ A M A S S S o f t w a r e L i b r a r y I N D E X --- Abdelsalam Heddaya --- Created: 92.01.02 --- File Name Description --------- ----------- README Introduction, and instructions for use.

The .hqx form can be used only on a Macintosh with BinHex and Microsoft Word 5.0. Compiled by Basil Hashem . islamictimer.ref Information about software that integrates Hijri calendar calculations and Islamic prayer times. minaret-13.sit.hqx Stuffit and Binhexed copy of Minaret 1.3 for the Macintosh. Minaret calculates Muslim prayer times, and direction, as well as the Hijri calendar. praytimer/ praytimer.tar.Z A portable C program based on Minaret 1.3, which calculates Islamic prayer schedules and typesets them in TeX. It differs from Minaret in that it can operate in a batch mode. That is, you can produce a large number of schedules quickly and conveniently. This program is in source form, you need access to a C compiler in order to install it on any computer. The ".tar.Z" version is a Unix compressed tar file, get it in binary mode, then use the Unix "uncompress" and "tar xf" commands to extract the software. Written by Kamal Abdali (derived by him from his Minaret 1.3 for the Mac). Although Minaret 1.3 has been tested over the years, praytimer has not yet been extensively tested.

Greenpeace, of all folks, has been trying to broker a marriage between insurance co's and enviros to lobby against fossil fuels. Jeremy Leggett is the scientific director of GP International's climate campaign; I don't know where he's based, but GP Intl is in Amsterdam. Also, the Investor Responsiblity Research Center (202-234-7500, 1755 Mass Ave NW - #600, Wash DC 20036) publishes an Investor's Environmental Report, which might have some useful leads. Also, the Insurance Information Institute in NYC might be helpful.

of issues about geoculture that might be of interest to you systemites. chriscd ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- As one who is interested in the study of imperialism, development, and culture, I found the news on the GATT talks today quite interesting. What prompted me to write this, however, was some radio commentary on the topic. The basic ideas were pretty straight forward: the US insists that all films, videos, and music should strictly be considered economic commodities, no surprise for a capitalist commidification framework; the Europeans -- the French in particular -- decided to frame the issue in cultural terms, insisting that there is a value in local cultures beyond "what the market bears or dictates". The news story kind of surprised me when it indicated that the capitalis culture industry is (I believe 2nd or 3rd?) of the largest economic sectors in the US. This brings us to the discussion of "cultural imperialism" (various versions thereof), which generically maintains that local (think of as "non-core") cultures are altered or destroyed by mass pop cultural artifacts from the core, while their meanings may be different in different cultural/societal contexts, versus the "globalization" school, (rather culturally-deterministic), holding that MTV, Michael Jackson, and Madonna phenomena are great, and that the only way for "local" cultures to survive is by participating in the "global" (new term is "glocalization")-- logic: commodify your culture (forget authenticities and meaning alterations!) and it will survive. Personally, the latter does not explain why Indian sitar music isn't the rage in Europe or the US, or why aforementioned pop stars are so popular.

To subscribe I would guess you just send your name to the missouri.edu server. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 8 Jan 1994 23:37:34 GMT From: Jessica Zoe Vargish To: Multiple recipients of list ACTIV-L Subject: Communique from the Zapatista National Liberation Army The following is the full text of the declaration from the Lacandon jungle by the Zapatista National Liberation Army: TODAY WE SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! TO THE PEOPLE OF MEXICO: MEXICAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS: We are a product of 500 years of struggle: first against slavery, then during the War of Independence against Spain led by insurgents, then to avoid being absorbed by North American imperialism, then to promulgate our constitution and expel the French empire from our soil, and later the dictatorship of Porfirio Diaz denied us the just application of the Reform laws and the people rebelled and leaders like Villa and Zapata emerged, poor men just like us. We have been denied the most elemental preparation so they can use us as cannon fodder and pillage the wealth of our country. They don't care that we have nothing, absolutely nothing, not even a roof over our heads, no land, no work, no health care, no food nor education. Nor are we able to freely and democratically elect our political representatives, nor is there independence from foreigners, nor is there peace nor justice for ourselves and our children. But today, we say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. We are the inheritors of the true builders of our nation. The dispossessed, we are millions and we thereby call upon our brothers and sisters to join this struggle as the only path, so that we will not die of hunger due to the insatiable ambition of a 70 year dictatorship led by a clique of traitors that represent the most conservative and sell-out groups. They are the same ones that opposed Hidalgo and Morelos, the same ones that betrayed Vicente Guerrero, the same ones that sold half our country to the foreign invader, the same ones that imported a European prince to rule our country, the same ones that formed the "scientific" Porfirsta dictatorship, the same ones that opposed the Petroleum Expropriation, the same ones that massacred the railroad workers in 1958 and the students in 1968, the same ones the today take everything from us, absolutely everything. To prevent the continuation of the above and as our last hope, after having tried to utilize all legal means based on our Constitution, we go to our Constitution, to apply Article 39 which says: "National Sovereignty essentially and originally resides in the people. All political power emanates from the people and its purpose is to help the people. The people have, at all times, the inalienable right to alter or modify their form of government." Therefore, according to our constitution, we declare the following to the Mexican federal army, the pillar of the Mexican dictatorship that we suffer from, monopolized by a one-party system and led by Carlos Salinas de Gortari, the maximum and illegitimate federal executive that today holds power. According to this Declaration of War, we ask that other powers of the nation advocate to restore the legitimacy and the stability of the nation by overthrowing the dictator. We also ask that international organizations and the International Red Cross watch over and regulate our battles, so that our efforts are carried out while still protecting our civilian population. We declare now and always that we are subject to the Geneva Accord, forming the EZLN as our fighting arm of our liberation struggle. We have the Mexican people on our side, we have the beloved tri-colored flag highly respected by our insurgent fighters. We use black and red in our uniform as our symbol of our working people on strike. Our flag carries the following letters, "EZLN," Zapatista National Liberation Army, and we always carry our flag into combat. Beforehand, we refuse any effort to disgrace our just cause by accusing us of being drug traffickers, drug guerrillas, thieves, or other names that might by used by our enemies. Our struggle follows the constitution which is held high by its call for justice and equality. Therefore, according to this declaration of war, we give our military forces, the EZLN, the following orders: First: Advance to the capital of the country, overcoming the Mexican federal army, protecting in our advance the civilian population and permitting the people in the liberated area the right to freely and democratically elect their own administrative authorities. Second: Respect the lives of our prisoners and turn over all wounded to the International Red Cross. Third: Initiate summary judgements against all soldiers of the Mexican federal army and the political police that have received training or have been paid by foreigners, accused of being traitors to our country, and against all those that have repressed and treated badly the civil population and robbed or stolen from or attempted crimes against the good of the people. Fourth: Form new troops with all those Mexicans that show their interest in joining our struggle, including those that, being enemy soldiers, turn themselves in without having fought against us, and promise to take orders from the General Command of the Zapatista National Liberation Army. Fifth: We ask for the unconditional surrender of the enemy's headquarters before we begin any combat to avoid any loss of lives. Sixth: Suspend the robbery of our natural resources in the areas controlled by the EZLN. To the People of Mexico: We, the men and women, full and free, are conscious that the war that we have declared is our last resort, but also a just one. The dictators are applying an undeclared genocidal war against our people for many years. Therefore we ask for your participation, your decision to support this plan that struggles for work, land, housing, food, health care, education, independence, freedom, democracy, justice and peace. We declare that we will not stop fighting until the basic demands of our people have been met by forming a government of our country that is free and democratic.

Culturally, economically, and politically, problems of development are no longer confined to the Third World (if they ever did): they now span the globe. With this in mind, the JOURNAL OF DEVELOPING SOCITIES invites the submission of articles and research notes for a special edition dedicated to development issues that impact both developed and developing societies. The JOURNAL is seeking papers focusing on contemporary problems and opportunities -- political, economic, intellectual, cultural, demographic, and technological -- that cut across countries at different stages of development. Although not every paper has to give equal time to developed and developing societies, we are looking for contributions that think through what problems and opportunities in one area imply or suggest the other. Papers explicitly addressing transnational phenomena, those that overlap a developing and a developed society or region (e.g., NAFTA, immigration from a developing to a developed society, capital transfers between developed and developing economies, technological or environmental challenges, intellectual or ideological constructions with which scholars in developed societies attempt to understand developing societies, or vice versa) are especially welcome. Articles should not exceed twenty double-spaced pages, including all tables, illustrations, endnotes and references. Please consult a current issue of the JOURNAL OF DEVELOPING SOCIETIES for style. Along with two copies of the manuscript, send the names of two to three referees who would be qualified to review it. These individuals should not be personal friends of the author, but eminent figures in the field to which the paper relates. Papers should be sent either to Prof. Joseph E. Behar, Department of Sociology, Dowling College, Oakdale, New York 11769 or to Prof. Alfred G. Cuzan, Department of Political Science, The University of West Florida, Pensacola, Florida 32514. Inquires are welcome.

Tompkins" Subject: GM/Fremont To: wsn Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Here's a peripheral (wrong word for this list, I guess) item I thought folks might have comments on. I've just returned from a meeting of the Association of American Colleges--a pretty good group--in D.C. Aside from the disruption when a water main burst and flooded the meeting rooms 2 stories below street level, one of the interesting presentations was by former Senator, Sec. of Labor and U.S. Trade Rep. William Brock, who's recently overseen the publication of the Wingspread Report on higher education. The report itself is a mixed bag, but not my topic here. As Brock reviewed the problems of higher education, he adverted repeatedly to the theme that education has to leave room for student creativity. He mentioned his own experience as part owner of a plant and his dissatisfaction with the time-motion consultants they had; he asserted that Taylorism caused industrial inefficiency by bringing layer on layer of managerial oversight. And he told this story: the GM plant in Fremont, Cal. had the "most radical" union in the auto industry. GM couldn't make it work, & sold it to Toyota in a deal that, GM thought, "stuck" Toyota with a "bad" union. Lo and behold, with Toyota management this became the "most productive and least automated" plant in the system [which system?], and the only labor action Toyota experienced was when the workers protested the bad quality of steel they were receiving from across town. The conclusion: higher education should promote an equal degree of independence. It was gratifying to hear a powerful, or once-powerful, Republican talk about student and worker autonomy. Brock strikes me as an extremely sincere, bluff guy, perhaps a little too ready to blame teachers, but in many ways good. Still, the Fremont story sounds like a fable. Were (are) worker relations there so good? Did the union really protest the quality of steel from a local plant? I'd thought things were more problematic, but I'm no expert.

GM did stick Toyota with a deal that required them to hire from the layoff rolls, but I believe Toyota was in charge of the process rather than the UAW or GM. I believe most of the rest of what you way is true about efficiency. There has been a bit of tension coupled with fear of getting shutdown again among the workers. Until Saturn came on line, NUMMI was building the GM cars with the lowest number of defects. > > It was gratifying to hear a powerful, or once-powerful, Republican talk about > student and worker autonomy.

I do not know what specific actions there have been, but I believe they had a close call with New Directions (or whatever the old style militant union movement is called) in an election a couple of years ago. > > Dan Tompkins > When I came to GMI in 1982, just as GM "emancipated" us, I frequently felt like a voice in the wilderness calling for true participative management, teaching future auto industry engineers and managers Marx's theory of alienation (economic and quality implications mostly), and trying to get them to see that more often than not when bad products were built it was the fault of management. Now that American industry has had the crap scared out of it and has adopted TQM, I see a tremendous amount of cynicism by upper management who preach TQM for the lower levels but are at great pains frequently to prevent it from reaching all the way to the top of organizations. I think most top managers are treating TQM as new kind of line speedup with no real committment to the mutuality that I would like to see. If there were true workplace democracy, then two of the recent winners of the Baldridge Award, Motorola and Xerox, would not be in the business of monitoring their employees' personal lives through involuntary drug testing.

Once again, I'm pleased to report that the library has grown sizably (4.2 megs and counting). The M&E Online Library is constantly "under construction". New works are added, errors are corrected (I thank those who report them) and further data on existent files are appended. Net cruisers are encouraged to sweep in every two weeks or five to see what's new. However, monthly updates will be issued. There is absolutely no way to monetarily profit from this project. It is a labor of love undertaken in the purest communitarian sense. The real "profit" will hopefully manifest in the form of individual enlightenment through easy access to these classic works. The goal, however dreamy and distant at this juncture, is to have all major works online for the centennial of the passing of Frederick Engels -- August 5, 1995. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NEW MATERIAL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The following works have been added to the M&E Archvie since the December 27, 1993, update: 1847 -- THE POVERTY OF PHILOSOPHY: Marx's rebuttal to J.P.

Marx rejects Proudhon as a lousy economist, worse philosopher, and general reactionary utopian (someone who wants to stop capitalism and turn the clock back to an artisan economy, rather than transcend capitalism). 1853 -- THE DUCHESS OF SUTHERLAND AND SLAVERY: Newspaper article on the Scottish "clearings" and death of Highland culture. It would be included, in part, in _Capital_ (ch.27). 1858 -- PRE-CAPITALIST ECONOMIC FORMATIONS: This monograph forms part of the _Grundrisse_, but was issued as a separate pamphlet in 1952 -- and that is how it is issued here. 1886 -- LUDWIG FEUERBACH AND THE END OF CLASSICAL GERMAN PHILOSOPHY: This Engels' essay examines the Hegelian/Young Hegelian high-water mark of the German school of philosophy and the contribution of philosopher Ludwig Feuerbach, who had a strong influence on Marx and Engels for a time in their twenties. 1888 -- Engels' INTRODUCTION TO "ON THE QUESTION OF FREE TRADE": Engels completed an English translation of Marx's 1848 speech on Free Trade (already in the archive); he also composed this English intro, looking at the 40 years since the speech. And, in the FIRST INTERNATIONAL subdirectory: 1868+ - Five files on the conflict between the First International and Bakunin's Alliance. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BACKGROUND ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The M&E library serves several functions. It provides research material and/or general reading pleasure for those interested in this epoch-shaping stream of thought. More importantly, these works are now constantly at hand and FREE (ok ok, I know you need a computer and a modem, etc., that's another story). The recent demise of Progress Publishers in Moscow means M&E texts will probably become harder to find, and most certainly more expensive -- driving the volumes out of the range of students and working people. (Progress actually pulped, that is, _destroyed_, thousands and thousands of editions. Alas.) Once transcribed, and uploaded to the net, ascii-Marx/Engels works take on lives of their own, branching off from the mainstream net into little BBS eddies about the globe, from Austria to Australia. I've happily heard from people who have found them in little local BBSs in places of which I've never heard. As most local BBS users don't have access to the Internet, I assume a great many more are getting these files, yet have not the means to tell me so. There are several people scattered about the North American continent who have volunteered to help in ascii-transription of some Marx/Engels text. Most are only _casually_ involved, so please do not think major time commitments are a requirement to help -- one chapter of one book goes a long way. If you wish to aid in this project, please contact me at zodiac@io.org, to prevent duplication of effort. The more the merrier. At any rate, I hope you find the Marx/Engels virtual library of value and enjoyment. But, enough of the background crap. To the heart of things: the files themselves! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ GETTING THE FILES ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There are three main ways to access the M&E archives: Gopher, FTP, and Email. GOPHER When logged into your Internet account, at the prompt type: gopher csf.colorado.edu You will connect to a Boulder, Colorado, computer which will then present you an opening menu. Select/type: 12 which takes you into the Progressive Sociologist Network (PSN) menu; at this point, you will see the Marx and Engels section at number: 9 Type that, and in you go. Pick and choose among the dozens of texts available. The advantage of gopher is that it is makes it easier to use/browse the library, peek about into files; and, most importantly, gopher permits me to provide fuller file titles, so etext files can be named exactly as per the original works (as opposed to ftp listings, which have shorter names). If you decide you wish to keep a copy of a work, just hit (s)ave and it copies the file back to the home area of your account computer. You will find the full-titled gopher-file list of the complete M&E Online Library at the very end of this posting. FTP If you don't want to browse, but rather just log in and snatch the whole library no-questions-asked, screw the rodent, login by ftp, and "mget -r" the lot. FTP ("File Transfer Protocol") is a method of zapping files around the planet, from one computer to another. Assuming you have ftp capability, at the prompt, type ftp csf.colorado.edu You will connected to the remote computer and will then be asked for a login name. Type: anonymous It will then ask you for a password: type your@email.address Once in, type cd psn/Marx and you will be in the directory. Hit "ls" for a list of what files are there. Type "get " to have a file sent back to your home directory. These are all exactly the same files you would see by gophering in -- except their ftp names are invariably shorter and more cryptic looking. For instance, the _Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts_ is titled EPManuscript. EMAIL Not all Internet accounts have access to FTP or gopher. csf.colorado.edu also makes files available by mail. Fortunately, there are "ftp-by-mail" services offered by generous sites. Through ftp-by-mail, you place an "order" by email with a third computer, which then follows your instructions and logs into the computer holding the files you want (in this case csf.colorado.edu), grabs those files, then mails them to you. For details on how to work this, send an email message to either: ftpmail@sunsite.unc.edu ftpmail@pa.dec.com and put nothing but the word help in the body of the message itself. You will automatically be sent instructions on how to use this extremely helpful service. Note that the first listed service above seems to have a faster turn-around time. TO GET A COPY OF THE ENTIRE DIRECTORY of the short UNIX names, send email to: csfserv@csf.colorado.edu with only this in the body of the message (no signatures): list psn/Marx You may have to do a wee bit of guess work to figure out what is what. Use the full-name gopher list attached below to help match up "decode" names. Piping Marx and Engels into cyberspace... Ken. Archivist, Marx/Engels Online Library ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gopher Listing of M/E Online Library ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This menu is set up recursively, meaning, subdirectories within directories are listed. For instance, you can see that "1843 -- Letters to Arnold Ruge (M)" is really a directory, and inside it can be found three files -- namely, the three letters Marx wrote to his friend and co-editor Arnold Ruge. 1. 1837-42 -- Young Marx (before editing Rheinische Zeitung)/ 1836/11 -- Love Poems to Jenny (three). 1836/12 -- Feelings. 1836/12 -- My World. 1837/ -- Wild Songs. 1837/02 -- Transformation 2. 1842 -- Communism and the Augsburg Allgemeine Zeitung (M). 3. 1843 -- Letters to Arnold Ruge (M)/ Mar -- "Ship of Fools".

Feel free to repost to any OTHER listservers. Finally, apologies to anyone who sent me something, but to which I did not respond. I _think_ I have recovered those messages that got lost in a computer change, but I know I also lost at least one phone message in a power outage]. The Social Science History Association will meet in Atlanta, Georgia at the Omni Hotel at the CNN center OCTOBER 13-16, 1994. I am coordinator for the Historical Geography network, and looking for papers and panels. For those unfamiliar with SSHA, it stress multi- and inter-disciplinary work. Informal expectations are to have panels which have particiapants from at least two disciplines. The association is organized in "networks" which correspond to ASA, APSA, ISA, AAA sections, and specialty groups in AAG. The Historical geography network includes scholars who do work or have interests that include historical and spatial dimensions. >From comments and discussions with those who responded to the first calls I posted, some people who have work to present that would be of interest to the network may have been reticent to responde because their "spatial" dimension was more implicit than explicit. Do NOT be reticent. So far we have one panel on rural America where all the presenters have only "implicit" spatial dimension, and a discussant who is very familiar with geographic analysis. This panel will, in effect, be a quick seminar in how to use the spatial dimension in social analysis. In other words, this can be an opportunity to learn methods how add or enhance an aspect of work that you have not used before. Historical dimensions run from the LA riots of a few years ago, to Bronze Age warfare patterns. Here are some panels that are still forming: Biblical Frontiers: New Interpretations of the American Frontier Spatial Aspects of World-Systems Class, community and politics in rural America I welcome either complete panels (3 papers, a chair, and discussant) partial panels, or solo papers that might fit. I also welcome volunteers for chair or discussant. I need replies ASAP, but by Feb. 11, so I can get it all together for my deadline of 2/15.

In his own life time, he noted repeatedly that the major problem was that folks wanted to go thru the motions, not make real changes. What is usually missed is that Taylor suggested that the major problem was that managers (and workers) needed to change their attitudes about work - that the goal should be to design work/tasks which maximized output while minimizing energy expended. A fair bit of the criticism came from unions. Taylor suggested that jobs be assigned on ability and skill rather than seniority. A pretty interesting excerp from his testimony before COngress on this is reprinted in Wren's history of management thought text. Whether Taylor was right or wrong is probably less important than his insistence on looking at work design/redesign as a total system. COnsultants and others who try to implement only part of the system (or any system) are not likely to get the results they expect. Sort of like being surprised that a change in one part of the economy creates changes in lots of other parts.
