Cicero.King.Clinton.Obama.

These name evoke the powerthe power of the spoken word. An orator is a person love affair with crowd. Just as two people in love and comfortable each other. The orator is comfortable with the crowd.
Here are instruction how to become a good orator:-


a) POISE, PURPOSE AND PRESENCE


Every true orator knows about what they are saying. They have fun doing what they love. When an orator has poise, purpose and presence, there is no crowd they cannot reach. Poise is how you carry yourself, purpose is the reason you are standing there and presence is the aura that you evoke.



Obama



b) CONNECT WITH YOUR AUDIENCE

You have to connect with your audience on many levels. Great orators make you cry and smile in the same speech. The energy they project is so familiar that you think they are a part of your own family.







Martin Lurther King


c) EMPHASIZE YOUR IMPORTANT WORDS

By doing so, you are adding a level of importance to the themes of your speech. Every orator is good with eye contact, enunciation, pronunciation, pitch and tone. Since it is conversation you are having with your crowd, you can neither be compulsive or condescending.


d) USE MEMORABLE PHRASES

You still remember the German phrase that John F. Kennedy said that the Berlin Wall. Every orator, past and present, has phrases they are remembered for. Make your own original phrases and use them to shine through your speech.





e) END WITH A CRESCENDO

Always remember that you have to leave something special with your audience. Orators use their last lines to call their audiences to a lofty ideal. Do not leave your audience hanging. Always give them such a performance that their next immediate action is to rise up to their feet.

ARTS AND CRAFTS OF CHINA


Chinese Arts and Craft
s
The arts and crafts are not only the embodiment of the people's longing for aesthetic beauty for themselves and as gifts for others, but also great treasures for China the rest of the world. Many of the marster artisans have had their skills handed down via one generation to the next so that only the offspring of such an artisan could learn the necessary skills required.


The Art of China

Chinese civilization began more than 4000 years ago. The earliest art forms would use rock and stone for art because they didn’t know to use metal yet. Later there wasthe Bronze Age, Stone Age, Neolithic or New Stone Age.


Of all the Chinese arts and crafts, the most representative are Bronze Vessels, Folk Toys, Calligraphy, Music, Painting, Jade, Kites, and Silk.


Influence

Chinese arts are influenced by three major religions, Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism. Another major influence was nature. All landscape painters tried to get a feeling of the human spirit and the strength of the wind, water, mist and mountains. In their process and material, they use many material such as medal, bronze, jade and cloth.


JADE

In Chinese, jade is pronounced as 'Yu', and most words related to moral include this word such as 'Unpolished jade never shines,' indicating that one cannot be a useful person if he is not educated.


CALLIGRAPHY

Calligraphy to which people both then and now attach great importance this highly stylized form of writing and has been developed by many eminent calligraphers of many different dynasties.


KITES

Kites being delicately made of paper and bamboo and are of numerous shapes such as swallow, centipede, butterfly etc.



PORCELAIN

Porcelain derived from the Shang Dynasty. It is characterized with fine

texture,bright colors, and distinctive shapes and styles.



TEA BOWL

A dark-brown glaze with buff-colored tortoiseshell markings cover the exterior of this small tea bowl.


SPIRIT JAR (HUN PING)

Large, extensively decorated burial jars like this have been recovered in recent decades. Made without lids, the jars display an extremely rich assortment of molded figures, animals, and architectur.



BANBOO IN SNOW

At first glance, this work lacks refinement and displays somewhat exhibitionist brushwork, but it is noteworthy because of the artist's creativity in handling rather traditional subject matter.



CERAMICS

The Chinese contribution to ceramic art is one of uncontested brillian. The amazingly rich period of Chinese ceramic production from the Neolithic era can be explore through the Sung Dynasty.


LION DANCING

There are 2 different type of lions, Southern and Northern. The Northern lion dance focuses more on jumping and playing with props. Southern lion dance focuses on styles and footsteps during the performce.




HUMANISTIC SPIRIT

Hermitry
means keeping away from the secular society. In ancient China, people who chose this kind of lifestyle were called hermits, or recluses.



CONCLUSION

Of all the Chinese arts and crafts, not only a vivid reflection of Chinese culture but also the embodiment of both the Chinese people, and of the nation itself. There were many different dynasties like the T’ang Dynasty, Zhou Dynasty, and the Qin Dynasty were a few dynasties. Chinese art began more than 4000 years ago. We still appreciate the hard work artists did back then.

Tunku Aziz: TI exco must quit

2009/10/06
By V. Vasudevan

KUALA LUMPUR: The founding member and inaugural president of the watchdog group Transparency International Malaysia has called on the current executive council to resign enbloc and take collective responsibility for recent events involving the organisation.
Senator Tunku Abdul Aziz Tunku Ibrahim made the call after the president, Datuk Paul Low Seng Kuan, had announced his resignation over the way the Global Corruption Report 2009 had been made public.


The report had triggered controversy and unhappiness among TI members and raised questions about the organisation's objectivity.Tunku Aziz said the issue of responsibility did not end with Low's resignation."There is nothing in the Transparency International constitution requiring them to resign. But they must, as this is an ethical issue.
"If you had a part in the decision-making, you have to accept responsibility. Whether you resign or not is up to your conscience," he told a press conference yesterday.Tunku Aziz also announced his decision to quit the TI as an executive council member.Another council member, Tan Sri Robert Phang, who was present at the press conference, said he had also resigned.


Together with the president, there are 13 members in the TI executive council.Low had released the report to the media on Sept 23 without deliberation and debate by the council. It contained allegations about the government's effort to fight corruption which some felt were flawed. His action had irked several council members.Phang, who is also a member of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission's advisory board, had also criticised Low. Low's resignation was announced in a statement by TI secretary-general Dr Loi Kheng Min, who is also a member of the council.Low's tenure, which began early this year, had run into controversy after he agreed to head the Port Klang Authority's corporate governance committee.

TI members felt this was a conflict as the Port Klang Free Zone project was under the overall oversight of transport ministers who were MCA leaders and Low was a lifelong member of the MCA.Tunku Aziz said yesterday that ethical behaviour and avoidance of conflicts of interest were among the mainstays of TI's operating principles and Low was in breach of these when he accepted the Port Klang Authority appointment.
Tunku Aziz was also perturbed when the PKFZ management had threatened to sue Low and TI Malaysia over remarks in the Global Corruption Report 2009 which made references to the PKFZ.


Tunku Aziz noted with dismay the way the PKFZ management was planning to take TI to court and said it would be a blemish on the organisation's image."We have been critical of the government. I was critical. They may not agree with us but they respect us," he said.Yesterday, Phang said he had little choice but to quit the council."I don't know if there are other things which he has done but kept from the council.

He has been running the TI like a 'Sdn Bhd' without consulting the committee." The other TI council members are Richard Wong Chin Mun, Dr Chin Yoong Kheong, Murad Ali Abdullah, Dr Pola Singh, Datuk Murad Hashim, Ngooi Chiu Ing, Josie Fernandez, Amu Tharmarajah, Mohamed Raslan Abdul Rahman and Datuk Mohamed Iqbal.

Indigenous People


DEFINITION

The indigenous has the common meaning of "from" or "of the original origin".

Indigenous peoples can be used to describe any ethnic group of people who inhabit a geographic region with which they have the earliest known historical connection, alongside more recent immigrants who have populated the region and may be greater in number.

However, the specific term indigenous peoples has a more restrictive interpretation when it used in the more formalized, legalistic, and academic sense, associated with the collective rights of human populations.




INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE AND CULTURE

Indigenous societies possess an often unique body of cultural and environmental knowledge. The preservation and investigation of specialized Indigenous knowledge, particularly in relation to the resources of the natural environment with which the society is associated, is an increasingly sought-after goal of both the Indigenous and the societies who thereby seek to identify new resources and benefits (example: partnerships established to research useful biological extracts from vegetation in the Amazon rainorest.



HISTORICAL INDIGENOUS
CULTURES

The migration, expansion and settlement of societies throughout different territories is a universal, almost defining thread which runs through the entire course of human history. Many of the cross-cultural interactions which arose as a result of these historical encounters involved societies which might properly be considered as indigenous, either from their own viewpoint or that of external societies.

Most often, these past encounters between Indigenous and "non-indigenous" groups lack contemporary account or description. Any assessment or understanding of impact, result and relation can at best only be surmised, using archaeological, linguistic or other reconstructive means. Where accounts do exist, they frequently originate from the viewpoint of the colonizing, expansionary or nascent state.

Potrait Of A young Man



Looking at these images for the first time, you play a game with yourself: It’s like staring at an optical illusion. One moment you’re convinced you’re looking at a photograph, then a switch is flipped in your brain, and you see a painting. But then you notice the fine filaments of each
strand of hair, the delicate veins traced out beneath the skin, the caress of daylight upon a curving cheek, and you start to question again.



A Girl Studying



Iman Maleki’s paintings remind us that politics, religion, cultural traditions, all the things we are told divide the many peoples of the world, don’t make us different at all. At most they add accents to our lives. The simple daily experiences of being a human being are understood by everyone.
