BLP sources date January 2008 Ross Tipon is a freelance author based in Baguio City , Philippines , who formerly wrote a column for a now defunct daily publication in Manila, Philippines Manila called Philippines Newsday . His later works are mainly political in nature, being a critic of government corruption in the Philippines and an advocate of Philippine recolonization by the United States . In July 2005, Tipon published a book entitled The Power and the Glory The Cult of Manalo , which is critical of the Iglesia ni Cristo ., a politically influential Philippine based religion. The INC promptly filed a lawsuit claiming that the book was defamatory of its organization. The INC further claimed that the publication of Tipon s book will cause social unrest. For his part Tipon accused the INC of suppressing his rights to free speech. The Power and the Glory The Cult of Manalo catalogued what he believed to be the INC s un biblical doctrines. Critics of the INC believe members of the INC and the public should be free to study educated criticisms directed at any doctrine of any religious group in the spirit of the free speech and religious freedom. The eventual publication of The Power and the Glory The Cult of Manalo has effectively challenged the limits of the INC s perceived influence among political leaders in the Philippines.

Image View from Isla del Cano.jpg thumb 200px View from Isla del Ca o Isla del Ca o is a small island in the Bahia de Coronado Coronado Bay in Costa Rica . It is on the Pacific Ocean side of Costa Rica, 10 miles west of Punta Llorona on Osa Peninsula Pen nsula de Osa . It rises steeply to a flat top of 123 meters in height. It has been established as a protected national park, with a permanent ranger station on the island. It is a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors for its beaches, coral beds, and sea life. Researchers currently use the coral beds to study the factors surrounding coral death and recolonization. Marine life includes manta ray s, dolphins , sea turtles , whales , and a wide variety of fish . The limited diversity of terrestrial fauna, however, is noticeable, with the island having less than one percent of the insect diversity of the peninsula and an absence of numerous animals native to the nearby mainland. Evidence of preColumbian human activity on the island is substantial, with some of the most interesting artifacts being Stone spheres of Costa Rica stone spheres evidently carved by early civilizations.

Unreferenced date December 2009 In the series of books Dragonriders of Pern by Anne McCaffrey , all forms of human knowledge are maintained by one or more crafthalls . Based loosely on the medieval system of guilds, the crafthall system on Pern is designed to maintain both theoretical and practical knowledge across a broad area in the absence of widespread printing, advanced communications, or record keeping technology. History of the Crafthall system Pern did not have time to establish systems of learning before the calamities of the First Pass however, pre colonization plans included a system similar to the Crafthall system. Originally, the Crafthalls were centralized as a University at Fort Hold, built around the computer databanks available there. With the breakdown of the available computers and the loss of electrical power at the beginning of the Second Pass Dragonseye , there was little point in continuing to confine the scholars of Pern away from the subjects of their study. Contrariwise, there were political and economic reasons to distribute the Crafts around the settlements of the Northern Continent. As a result, the Halls drifted apart physically. Over time, this led to the Halls adopting the same philosophy and politics of autonomy that already dominated the Holds by the Eighth Pass, this trend had led to the breakdown of nearly all cross craft technical collaboration. The dramatic reversal of this trend near the end of the Eighth Interval was crucial for the success of the recolonization of the South during the Ninth Pass. After the rediscovery of the original settlements and their precious treasure of databanks and ancient technologies, a University of sorts was re established at Landing, and cross craft contact was elevated to a level not seen since the Second Pass. However, the tradition of Hall autonomy except in planetwide matters was maintained, as was the widespread geographic distribution of centers of learning on Pern.

This head dates from 1200 to 900 BCE and is 2.9 meters high and 2.1 meters wide. San Lorenzo Tenochtitl n or San Lorenzo is the collective name for three related archaeological site s San Lorenzo, Tenochtitl n,and Potrero Nuevo located in the southeast portion of the Mexican state of Veracruz . From 1200 Common era BCE to 900 Common era BCE , it was the major center of Olmec culture. San Lorenzo Tenochtitl n is best known today for the colossal stone heads unearthed there, the greatest of which weigh 20 tons or more and are 3 meters high. The site should not be confused with Tenochtitlan , the Aztec site in Mexico City . Description The earliest evidence for Olmec culture is found at nearby El Manat , a sacrificial bog with artifacts dating to 1600 BCE or earlier. Sedentary agriculturalists had lived in the area for centuries before San Lorenzo developed into a regional center. ref John E. Clark Clark , 342. ref San Lorenzo was the largest city in Mesoamerica from roughly 1200 Common era BCE to 900 Common era BCE , at which time it had begun to be overtaken by the Olmec center of La Venta . By 800 BCE, there was little or no population, although there was an important recolonization of the San Lorenzo plateau from 600 to 400 BCE and again from circa 800 to 1000 CE. In contrast to La Venta s swamp like environs, San Lorenzo was situated in the midst of a large agricultural area. ref Coe, p. 44. ref San Lorenzo seems to have been largely a ceremonial site, a town without city walls, centered in the midst of a widespread medium to large agricultural population.
