Russian military leaders have expressed concern about US plans
for a national missile defense system. Will defense technology be
limited by possibilities for a strategic imbalance? Is this just SDI
all over again?

'The emphasis of environmental policies in these nations
have in most cases relied on the Western values and the
“Willingness to pay” principles, despite the differences in
national contexture and culture. Such a stance has led to the
creation of values and access to subsistence which are linked to
sacrificing environmental quality for short-term economic
gain.' Moving through Change
successfully, people require assistance in new and shifting
environments that marginalise their culture. ~ http://publicpolicy.subr.edu/jsda2/Fallwinter2000/Articles/Dibie.1.gif

Permaculture education includes principles and practices of
sustainable soil, water, crop, forest, architectural, business and
finance systems, ethical investment, community loan support and
small business management.
Permaculture, from PERMAnent agriCULTURE, is an integrated
system of design including not only agriculture, horticulture,
architecture and ecology but also land access strategies and
economic systems for small businesses and communities.
Taken from the Latin, permanens, to endure or persist through
time and cultura, cultures - permaculture is an interdisciplinary
design science focused on sustainable system design. Sustainable
systems are defined as those that, over their lifetime, produce
energy equivalent to or in excess of what they consume.
Permaculture operates on three ethics: care of the earth,
care of the species and return of excess to the first two.

CHECHEN TALKS
MISTRUST PROMPTS CHECHEN TALKS:
Talks aimed
at restoring trust between the pro-Russian Chechen administration
and Russia’s federal forces, have been held behind closed doors in
the Chechen capital, Grozny. The talks were called after an incident
where ten civilians in the village of Asinkoe were injured during a
federal army “rebel clearing” operation there. The acting Commander
in the Northern Caucasus, Vladimir Moltenskoi, said that for peace
and stability, it was paramount that laws should be respected. But
federal forces’ violations have strained relations with the
pro-Chechen administration. Two members of the military have been
suspended and another has received a reprimand. The head of the
Chechen administration, Akhmad Kadyrov, has called for those guilty
to be punished.
