| fasika sidelil: Prairie Breezes Theodore "Jim" Goering, 2020-04-14 Pretty Prairie, dating from the late 1880s and somewhat before the advent of settled agriculture, was linked to the larger world by its location on a rudimentary stage coach line which connected the pioneer towns of Wichita in the south central part of the state with Dodge City to the west. As historians tell it, the city's colorful name reflects a comment by a lady traveler from an east coast state on a western-bound stage coach. At a stop to rest the horses and give the travelers time to stretch their legs, the traveler stepped out of the coach, inhaled a deep breath of the fresh air, looked with wonder and amazement at the seemingly endless expanse of verdant prairie grass on low-lying hills, and remarked, Oh, my! What a pretty prairie! And so it began to be known as such! Today, with a population of about 680 inhabitants, Pretty Prairie faces challenges similar to those confronting many small towns in the American heartlandviz. the paucity of remunerative employment opportunities which encourages educated younger residents to pursue an odyssey (an extended, adventurous voyage) in search of greater economic opportunities and soul-fulfilling adventure! Jim's odyssey, as articulated in this narrative, is almost certainly only one of many undertaken by the youth of these communities. Notable personalities associated with Pretty Prairie include former Kansas Governor, Walter A. Huxman; nationally acclaimed artist of American wild life, Jack Unruh; iconic, long-term athletic coach at Pretty Prairie High School, George Norton; and Carl Alfalfa Switzer of the Little Rascals/Our Gang series. Author Jim and his loving wife of more than 60 years of marriage, Shirley, now live in retirement in North Newton, Kansas and remain occupied with educational, community and church activities. They are the parents of five children and grandparents of nine. Jim's remarkable career has come from humble roots on a farm near Pretty Prairie, Kansas, through halls of influence and power in Washington DC; Beijing, China; Addis Ababa, Ethiopia; Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; Guatemala City, Guatemala; Ulanbaatar, Mongolia; Pyongyang, North Korea and elsewhere, always driven by the consummate desire to honor the gentle exhortation of his father in Jim's youth to ...leave this world upon departure a better place than when you arrived! Foundational reference points along the way for Jim include: The Good Book, the Christian Bible, and the words of Proverbs 3: 5-6: Trust in the Lord with all you heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight; The profundity of Robert Frost's words in his 1916 epic poem, A Road Not Taken; Two roads diverged in a wood and I took the one less traveled by; And that has made all the difference! The hauntingly moving phrases in Paul Anka's song, My Way!, sung so well by Frank Sinatra: And now the end is near; and so, I face the final curtain. My friend, I'll say it clear; I'll state my case of which I'm certain! I've lived a life that's full; I've traveled each and every highway! But more, much more than this: I did it my way! |

| fasika sidelil: Ethiopian Revolution 1974-1991 Teferra Haile-Selassie, 2013-12-19 First published in 1997. Ethiopia, the only country in Africa to survive the nineteenth-century European scramble for the continent, has a long, unique, and complex history. This stretches back over three million years to Lucy, or as the Ethiopians call her Dinkenesh, the earliest known ancestor of the human race, to the political turmoil of late twentieth-century Africa. Teferra Haile-Selassie writes partly as a historian, but also, and perhaps more importantly, as a sincere and sensitive observer, who lived through the later historical events which he describes, and indeed played a notable role in several of them. |

| fasika sidelil: Resettlement and Famine in Ethiopia Alula Pankhurst, 1992 This book is the inside story of the Ethiopian resettlement programme, carried out in the mid-1980s by the Ethiopian government amid fierce international controversy. It relies on the views of the settlers themselves, and is based on an in-depth study carried out by an anthropologist who lived in a resettlement village. Alula Pankhurst dispels current myths about resettlement; while showing the importance of famine and coercion, he highlights social factors in the mosaic of settlers' motivation. He documents the attempt to institute a collectivist model of agriculture and analyses the reasons for its failure. He also examines the effects of Ethiopia's recent economic liberalisation and the impact of aid agencies. The book addresses an increasing Third World phenomenon: state organised relocation. It is a major contribution to the literature on mass-migration and on refugees. By focusing on the interaction between people and the state, it also reassesses a fundamental development problem: the gulf between local and national priorities. Accessible and thought-provoking, Resettlement and famine in Ethiopia will be of interest to anthropologists, students of development studies, and practitioners, and all those concerned by famine, forced migration and socialist attempts to transform societies. |

| fasika sidelil: The Commitment of the German Democratic Republic in Ethiopia Haile Gabriel Dagne, 2006 The study presents the general political conditions and details of the extensive commitment of the German Democratic Republic in Ethiopia during 1976 through 1990, thus examining Ethiopia's drive towards the East. Regarding the researching of Ethiopian sources it should be kept in mind that sources, especially concerning military and security issues in general are not available to the broad public. On the one hand the study examines the GDR's exertion of influence in the areas of politics, ideology, military, and domestic security. On the other hand the study also focuses on both countries' endeavours towards the shaping of the developmental cooperation and the implementation of agricultural, industrial, geological, mining, transportation, communication, commerce, culture, education and health projects.
