| legend of ampalaya short story: Smallholder Tree Growing for Rural Development and Environmental Services Denyse J. Snelder, Rodel D. Lasco, 2008-07-19 Recent history reveals that both the large-scale reforestation projects of the 20th century have often been less successful than anticipated, and that tree growing by smallholders – as an alternative means to combat deforestation and promote sustainable land use – has received relatively little attention from the scientific and development communities. Taking a first step to addressing that balance, this collection of peer-reviewed papers adopts a comparative approach to explore the potential role that tree growing by farmers can play in sustainable forest management. The goal of this approach is to identify common threads and to start to develop a framework for future research and practice. Presenting case studies from the Philippines and comparative data from a number of Asian countries the book reveals that farmer tree growing has the potential to play a significant role in sustainable forest management, and discusses the surrounding issues which must be addressed in order to realise this potential. The book is primarily aimed at research scientists and graduate students interested in relevant aspects of forestry, agroforestry, agricultural diversity, natural resource management and conservation in agricultural landscapes, as well as those involved in sustainable development and international development studies. It will also provide a valuable reference for professionals, managers, consultants, policy makers and planners dealing with issues in sustainable development, natural resource management, land use change issues and participatory approaches to resource management. |

| legend of ampalaya short story: Popular Medicinal Plants in Portland and Kingston, Jamaica Ina Vandebroek, David Picking, 2020-12-05 This book highlights the results from over a year of ethnobotanical research in a rural and an urban community in Jamaica, where we interviewed more than 100 people who use medicinal plants for healthcare. The goal of this research was to better understand patterns of medicinal plant knowledge, and to find out which plants are used in consensus by local people for a variety of illnesses. For this book, we selected 25 popular medicinal plant species mentioned during fieldwork. Through individual interviews, we were able to rank plants according to their frequency of mention, and categorized the medicinal uses for each species as “major” (mentioned by more than 20% of people in a community) or “minor” (mentioned by more than 5%, but less than 20% of people). Botanical identification of plant specimens collected in the wild allowed for cross-linking of common and scientific plant names. To supplement field research, we undertook a comprehensive search and review of the ethnobotanical and biomedical literature. Our book summarizes all this information in detail under specific sub-headings. |
| legend of ampalaya short story: Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard Kiran Desai, 1999 Sampath Chawla was born in a time of drought that ended with a vengeance the night of his birth. All signs being auspicious, the villagers triumphantly assured Sampath's proud parents that their son was destined for greatness. Twenty years of failure later, that unfortunately does not appear to be the case. A sullen government worker, Sampath is inspired only when in search of a quiet place to take his nap. But the world is round, his grandmother says. Wait and see! Even if it appears he is going downhill, he will come up the other side. Yes, on top of the world. He is just taking a longer route. No one believes her until, one day, Sampath climbs into a guava tree and becomes unintentionally famous as a holy man, setting off a series of events that spin increasingly out of control. A delightfully sweet comic novel that ends in a raucous bang, Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard is as surprising and entertaining as it is beautifully wrought. |

| legend of ampalaya short story: Outline of Philippine Mythology F. Jocano, 2018-11-27 This book is a collection of Philippine myths and tales of wonder grouped under a few large headings and strung together with a minimum of unobtrusive commentary by an outstanding Filipino scholar, Dr. F. Landa Jocano. The stories are drawn both from previously published materials and from Dr. Jocano's own researches, especially in the interior fastnesses of his native Panay. While there is no attempt at comprehensiveness, one is struck by the richness and variety of these Philippine stories of gods, spirits and heroes. The variety is such as at times to induce confusion, especially where the same proper name is given to different divinities or variants of the same narrative are used. These gleanings from the traditions of our animistic forefathers reveal some strands which they may have had in common with some of the major world religions. For example, Dr. Jocano tells us that the early Tagalogs believed in the transmigration of the soul. One would surmise a common culture trait with Indian civilization. Likewise, some details remind one of Biblical lore, such as the flood story, and the use of clay in the making of man as found both in Igorot and Bagobo traditions. The Bisayan divinity Magyan and the Manobo spirit Manduyapit, both of whom ferried the souls of the dead to the afterworld, bear a strong resemblance to Charon of Greek mythology. Some stories may suggest conditions prevailing at the time. For example, there is an extremely interesting reference to lending money at high interest in the Sambal legend of the shark, possibly an indication that the story arose in the early phases of the introduction of money into a subsistence economy. Clearer still are indications of the prevailing ethos among certain people. For example, the Panay epic of Hinilawod narrates the matrimonial exploits of some of its heroes. Labaw Donggon, on his way home with a new bride, hears about another beautiful woman and promptly leaves his wife with his mother and proceeds to court and win a second wife. However, his try for a third bride, a married woman, is not as successful. His brother Humadapnon wins a bride with a feat of strength and magic and then, hearing during the wedding feast about the beauty of another goddess, goes forth to woo and win her. Later, it appears that he also takes a third wife. Perhaps these stories are meant to show that in mythological times men were men, and they may also help to explain the marital behavior of their modern day descendants! Other stories lead one to question whether they antedate the coming of the Spaniards, or whether post-Magellanic traditions have been added to the pre-Hispanic accounts. For example, the Bisayan story of Hari-sa-bukid refers to the planting of tobacco on the slopes of Mt. Kanlaon. Since tobacco is an American plant and was unknown in this country before the coming of western explorers, one wonders what part of the story is pre-Hispanic, if any. Likewise, the Ilocano legend of Lam-ang, while apparently pre-Hispanic in its framework, makes reference to various introduced features such as tobacco, Christian names like Juan, Marcos, Pasyo and Ines, and a church wedding with a nuptial mass followed by feasting where the Fandango is danced. Some of these tales have been analyzed by scholars, both Filipinos and foreigners. Others remain to be collected and collated, as Dr. Jocano's own work demonstrates. Some day it is hoped that we can have an encyclopedic work on Philippine mythology, similar to those available for Greek, Roman, Germanic and Scandinavian folklore. In the meantime, this book may serve as an introduction for laymen to this highly interesting phase of our people's culture. |

| legend of ampalaya short story: Grammar-Land M. L. Nesbitt, 2015-01-01 Before the days of Schoolhouse Rock's jingles like “Conjunction Junction,” there was the playful primer Grammar-Land, which has been teaching children (and adults in need of a refresher) the basic rules of English grammar since its first publication in 1878. In the allegorical world of Grammar-Land, the nine parts of speech—rich Mr. Noun, his useful friend Pronoun, little ragged Article, talkative Adjective, busy Dr. Verb and Adverb, perky Preposition, convenient Conjunction, and irksome Interjection—are brought to trial by Judge Grammar to settle disputes over the rules of language. Each part of speech is called in turn to take the stand, where they are questioned by Doctor Syntax and Sergeant Parsing. In the course of the amusing trial, the reader, perhaps without even realizing it, is exposed to the most important rules of grammar. |
