Chile’s natural barriers such as the most arid desert in the world, the Andes Mountain range, the Pacific Ocean, and the ice fields in Southern Patagonia, offers such a tremendous amount of diversity to this extended and thin country that it’s considered as the jewel of South American continent.

Much loved and popular, it is said that in Chile you are never too far from the sea, the mountains, or the desert. Currently, on an economic fast track, Chile is now experiencing a newer and improved socioeconomic stability as compared to the other South American countries.

However, this capitalistic approach has ended up widening the gap between the economically richer and poorer sections of the society. As a volunteer to Chile, you will have many opportunities to do something really worthwhile as you travel from one city to another, helping people to gaining emotional, financial, and physical independence.

Why Volunteer In Chile

With 5,000 kms of South Pacific coastline, Chile is a wonderfully blessed with pristine beaches, and plenty of tourist activity. Furthermore, Chile can also lay claim to some portion of Antarctica and if these reasons are not enough for you for volunteering in Chile then consider this.

Across the nation, there are several NGOs that are willing to accept you as volunteer to help them in their attempts to improve housing for the poor, provide assistance for academic development, work with drug addicts, offer expertise at medical health centers, and show compassion towards the homeless and much more.

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – Secret Room Holds the Key to the Battles From the Wild Frontier of Cyber Space

This is a logo designed for Electronic Frontier Foundation (http://eff.org./cases/jewel) in their current legal battle. Note how the head phones on the eagle allow the bird to listen to the noise of Cyber Space, while the claws hold numerous cables, which run through a secret room, controlled by NSA.

Acting on behalf of AT&T clients, Electronic Frontier Foundation is prepared to take on the giants of the United States in Jewel versus NSA.

The US Congress passed legislation earlier this year, allowing telecommunication firms to be exempt from lawsuits involving spying. This had allowed the case against AT&T to become bogged down in the Federal Court. In an effort to rise past this, EFF opened a second front of attack by demanding those who authorized, or have participated for years in a fishing expedition, to be held answerable. There has been an ongoing warrantless dragnet which has been used to survey millions of ordinary Americans’ emails. All communications and communication records of Internet Traffic are copied and funneled to a secret room in San Francisco, controlled by NSA.

While absolutely denying the existence of the dragnet, U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey asked a Federal Judge for immunity for the communication companies.

The prosecution list includes President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Chief of Staff David Addington, former Attorney General and White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales and others, as well as NSA.

Internet Service Providers, however, carry their users’ conversations, secrets, relationships, acts, and omissions. Until recently they left most of the spy business untouched, because they had lacked the tools to spy invasively. Now, with recent advances in eavesdropping technology, they can spy on people, in unprecedented ways.

Advertisers and copyright owners have been tempting them to put their users’ secrets up for sale, and judging from a recent flurry of reports ISPs are giving in to the temptation and experimenting with new forms of spying. This may only be the leading edge of a coming storm of extraordinary and omnipresent ISP surveillance.

How can governments continue to protect themselves and their citizens from repeat attacks form of terrorist, such as September 11, without being thought to simply be overzealous sticky beaks? Gone are the days when you believe you can trust people. Everyone is out for themselves.

Founded in 1990, the watch dog Electronic Frontier Foundation, has a Google page ranking of 7. As the continuing drama unfolds in the courtrooms, it will be well worth keeping an eye on this site. However, after reading all this, it’s easy to comprehend why more and more people are aiming to get out of the Rat Race. Some even aiming to move to a slower paced life of places like the adventure travel destination of the tropical islands of Vanuatu, in the South Pacific.

Head on Collision Between Two Cultures When Rare Secret Art Was Released Recently

Head on Collision Between Two Cultures When Rare Secret Art Was Released Recently

Receiving an invitation to the opening of art exhibitions at the prestigious Annandale Art Gallery, a converted Masonic hall, is a common occurrence for Bethany.

The stately building in Trafalgar Street, was opened in the 1860’s as a Methodist Church. In the 1920’s it was converted to a Masonic Lodge. Now an upmarket art gallery in a trendy inner city suburb of Sydney, Australia.

The owners of the Gallery have earned their enviable reputation in the art world, through specialist showings of the very best in Australian and overseas modern art.

The invitation, on the 22nd July, appeared to be exceptional from the start. It spoke of secret rare art. Never before had the sacred art been seen outside of the tiny remote tropical island, South Pacific archipelago, Vanuatu.

Dressed in full custom regalia, a group of nine Ni-Vanuatu artists would perform a sacred ceremonial dance from the island of Ambrym, at the opening.

Bethany eagerly arranged with two friends to attend the opening, which sounded rather mysterious and lots of fun. Afterwards they would enjoy dinner at one of the fine restaurants of Darling Harbour. The problem of working their way through the Sydney traffic and finding parking for the Mercedes-Benz was averted with the firm decision to take a taxi, or be dropped off by one of the husbands

“Arriving a little later than we expected because of the Sydney traffic, we were greeted by the lovely sounds of a string band playing island music as we approached the doorway to the Gallery,” Bethany told me. “It sounded as if the South Seas had come to town. Made one think of swaying palms and blue green tropical oceans. It was inviting to think of taking that South Pacific cruise my husband and I have been promising ourselves,” she mused.

As they joined the other guests sipping French champagne, Bethany and her two friends buzzed with excitement as they admired the rare artifacts. These included beautifully carved wooden figures and masks, plus a four metre drum (upright tam-tam). One of the world’s largest free standing musical instruments in the world.

“We understood this art to be very ancient and rare, yet it could easily be mistaken for pieces of modern artwork”, said David Baker the Gallery’s curator. “There is only one similar piece of work to this in a British Museum.”

A barely clad figure appeared. Stepping up to the gong he began a steady methodical beat, on the lip of the wooden gong’s face. The carved face stylized to represent an ancestor. The long slit up the front of the drum giving the ancestor a voice once more.

Four dancers came next, dressed in what looked like a head-to-toe tent made of dried leaves, with brightly painted masks, topped with chicken feathers, covering their faces. In a slow rhythmical, yet dreamlike shuffle, they began making their way to the center of the room. Their voices filled the gallery in a monotonal chant.

Another five men, dressed in the full regalia of their secret society, moved in the centre of the first four dancers. Stomping their feet and clapping their hands, they lifted their voices in the chant.

Unaware of the sensation they were causing, the five mature Ambrym men, were dressed with only a wide bark belt slung low over their hips. A Namba penis sheath, barely covering the essential part of manhood, they concentrated on their sacred dance. A bright red hibiscus flower adorned one ear.

Unaware of the sensation they were causing, the gleaming and well formed buttocks of the dancers jiggled up and down in time to the beat of the drum, the matrons of Sydney stared in utter shock.

“When the dancers first entered the room it was rather awkward to know where to put one’s eyes. I haven’t seen that much bare bottom since my four children were tiny,” laughed Bethany.
It is one thing to imagine these men dancing in the soft lighting of a tropical island forest, bare feet pounding out the ceremonial rhythm on a dirt floor, but to think of them as having just come from a modern hotel room, braving the Sydney traffic and Australian winter, was a mind bending thought.

“We were told these men are taboo and no women are permitted to touch them even today,” laughed Bethany. “In fact, if any female saw them performing the dance they had to be killed. A good thing that doesn’t apply now.”

Life moves at a different pace in the tropical islands of Vanuatu, voted the Happiest Country on Earth in 2006. A beautiful nation of over 153 distinct languages and cultures with few modern communication devices spanning the remote distances.

Education is an oral tradition and many villagers still live as their ancestors have done for generations. Tradition and culture is handed down from father to son through dance, song, sand drawings and carvings. Many of the younger generation have lost the ability to understand the mystic language of the carved gongs.

The chiefs are starting to recognize the educational needs of their people. They decided to share the secrets of their society and release some of their sacred rare art, to ensure its survival, setting the art world on its ear. Their aim is to inspire their young people and make them more aware of their ancient culture.

Few people are aware that the tiny neighbor of Australia still has such wonderful secrets tucked away in the ‘Must See’ Travel Adventure destination of the south Pacific.

Education needs beyond the main islands goes to the bottom of the list of priorities for a government who in 2007 admitted that they do not have the resources to meet the educational needs of the nation.
