All previous hosts left substantial legacies to the community. 2002 and 2008 NAIG hosts established formal a legacy planning program that oversaw the distribution of physical and intellectual property and financial surpluses.
NAIG Council was a beneficiary to intellectual and financial legacies from both those events. 2002 NAIG provided a $100,000 financial contribution and 2008 NAIG has resulted in a $200,000 financial contribution. Intellectual property involved the transfer of planning documents from the host society to the Council and next hosts. The transfer of knowledge allowed Council to make great strides in terms of bidding, planning, oversight and future development.
A transfer of knowledge program from the 2008 NAIG provided an opportunity for Council to standardize hosting of the NAIG. A proposal to develop hosting standards, hosting agreements, contractual milestones and planning framework was funded through the 2008 NAIG legacy plan which resulted in professional level documentation which not only helped with hosting but also with other aspects of planning for a games.

Turkish Documents on the Armenian Genocide
August 21, 2017HistoryComments: 4
The contents of the documents published below are the classified instructions of the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Ottoman Empire Talaat Pasha and the order of the Minister of War Enver Pasha on the extermination of Armenians residing in Turkey.
Besides, you will see two letters addressed to the representative of the Young Turks committee in Adana Djemal Pasha, which were quoted in the memoirs of the Turkish official Naim Bey, who held the position of chief secretary of the Committee on the deportation of Armenians in Aleppo (Syria) in those years.
Almost all the encrypted orders of Talaat are exclusively addressed to the governor of Aleppo. Through Aleppo, the Ottoman government has forcibly sent the Armenians to the desert of Deir ez-Zor.
In all classified documents dealing with deportation and massacres, the expression "mentioned nation" and alike were only used in relation to Armenians.
Document 1.
"Encrypted telegram of the Minister of War sent to the commanding officers of the army
Based on these circumstances, the imperial government issued an order to exterminate the entire Armenian nation. The following operation should be carried out in their regard. All Armenians of the country who are Ottoman subjects and are older than five years of age have to be sent out of cities and eliminated.
Without violating the usual order, separate all Armenians serving in the imperial armies from their divisions, take them to secluded places away from curious eyes, and shoot them. The Armenian officers in military service should be taken into custody in their regiments until further instructions.
Forty-eight hours after receiving these instructions, the regimental commanders will issue a special order to carry out the operation. You must not take any actions other than those necessary to comply with these orders.
Representative of the High Command and Minister of War
Enver."
"To The Representative in Adana Djemal Bey
By order of the person in charge
The only force in Turkey capable of upsetting the political life of Ittihad is Armenians… If we examine the historical circumstances of the past in detail, we can conclude that all the unrest that made Jamiet's (the Committee of Union and Progress were also called Jamiet) patriotic efforts difficult are a result of seeds of discord sowed by Armenians.
It is forbidden to help or patronize any Armenian. Jamiet decided to rid the homeland of the ambition of this accursed nation. For patriotic reasons, we are going to take responsibility for the shame that will vilify Ottoman history.
Unable to forget all the past bitterness full of hope for the future, Jamiet decided to eliminate all Armenians living in Turkey and gave the government complete freedom of action in this matter. Of course, the government will give appropriate instructions on the need of massacres to the governors.
Representatives of Ittihad will do everything to resolve this issue as soon as possible. By any means that the government will find suitable, the abandoned property will be temporarily withdrawn in order to be subsequently sold. The proceeds will then be used to rebuild Jamieta on a broader basis as well as for patriotic purposes.
In accordance with this, if you deem it necessary, demand explanations from the executive commissions that will be formed. If you find any problems with the administration, you can contact either the governor-generals or us."
Our common duty is the realization, on a large scale, of a noble project that is the destruction of mentioned elements that have been an obstacle in the progress of our state for centuries.
For these reasons, we must take full responsibility, come what may, and understand how great the sacrifice that the government has committed entering the world war is. We, therefore, must work so that the taken measures lead to the desired outcome.
As reported in our February 18 dispatch, Jamiet decided to destroy the various forces that had been a hindrance to its path for many years. To end that, it needs to resort to the most brutal measures.
We assure you that we ourselves were horrified at reflecting on these methods, but Jamiet sees no other way to ensure the sustainability of its ideas. Ali Riza criticizes us, calls for mercy. Such a degree of naivety is just idiotic.
Go to Aleppo. if you manage to persuade him, you will work together. If it is not possible, we will find a place for him where he would pour out his tender feelings. Unless actions against known persons [Armenians] bring desired results, one should not engage with others [peoples].
At present, it is considered possible to punish only eminent citizens by legal means, which will serve as a starting point for our operations in the future. I again remind you about the question of the property left behind. Do not allow its distribution to slip away from your vigilance, always check the balances and the use of the proceeds."
"Although the destruction of the Armenian elements, which for centuries tried to destroy the reliable foundation of our empire (the danger that has now assumed a real form) was planned even earlier, circumstances did not allow us to complete this sacred goal.
Now that all the obstacles have been eliminated and it is time to rid our country of this dangerous element, I strongly advise you to not give in to the feeling of compassion at the sight of their miserable situation. Eliminate them all and try to in every possible way wipe out the name of Armenia from Turkey. The persons who you entrust the implementation of this task with should be patriotically minded and trusted people."
This was an excerpt from a copy of Naim Bey's telegram, so it is not known who sent it and who it was addressed to. Presumably, this telegram was also sent by Talaat to the governor of Aleppo.
"No. 502. To The Governor of Aleppo
We recommend that you carry out the operations in regard to the persons belonging to the said nation [Armenians], including women and children. Appoint reliable officials for this purpose.
Minister of Internal Affairs
Talaat."
"To The Governor of Aleppo
All the rights of Armenians on living and working on Turkish soil have already been completely taken away. Accordingly, the government takes full responsibility, giving instructions to not spare even infants.
The impact that this order had is evident in some provinces. Despite this, for reasons we do not understand, exceptions were made in regard to the mentioned nation. Instead of sending these people directly to the places of their exile, they were allowed to live in Aleppo, which creates additional difficulties for the government.
Do not listen to their arguments, drive away women and children wherever they are and whatever their condition is. Do not allow people to patronize them. Because of their ignorance, such patrons put material benefits above patriotic feelings and cannot understand big politics of government.
Instead of the indirect measures of elimination, one can now freely use direct methods without wasting time.
All army commanders have been informed of the unified order of the Ministry of War stating that they should not interfere with the deportation.
Tell the officials appointed to perform this task that they must implement our true intent without fear of responsibility. Be kind enough to send encrypted summaries of the results of your activities every week.
You have already been informed that it was decided to completely eliminate the Armenians living in Turkey. Those who oppose this decision cannot remain in the official positions in the Empire. Regardless of how cruel the measures are, the nation [Armenians] should cease to exist. Do not pay any attention to age, sex, or remorse.
There is no need for shelter. It is not the time to give vent to sentimentality and feed orphans, prolonging their life. Send everyone to the desert and inform us.
We learned that some people, including officials, marry Armenians. We strictly prohibit this and we strongly recommend those women to be singled out and sent away [to the desert].
Talaat. "
Document 10.
"№ 544. To The Governor of Aleppo
The reason for choosing Deir-Zor as the place of deportation is explained in the classified order No. 1843 of September 2, 1915. Since all crimes committed by the population against the Armenians will serve the ultimate goal of the government, there is no need to prosecute such cases. The necessary instructions are also given to the governors of Deir-Zor and Urfa.
We were informed that in some Muslim families, children of Armenians from Sivas, Mamuret-ul-Aziz, Diarbekir, and Erzurum are adopted. These children who have lost their parents are recruited as servants. You must collect and send those children to the location of the exile as well as give the necessary instructions on this to the relevant people.
"The purpose of expelling mentioned people is to guarantee the welfare of our motherland in the future for wherever they live, they will never give up on their rebel ideas, so we should try to reduce their numbers as much as possible.
(Naim-bey does not indicate the date, but says that the telegram was received in November 1915)
After the intervention recently undertaken by the American ambassador in Constantinople on behalf of his government, it became apparent that the American consuls have received some of our classified information. Despite our assurances that their [Armenians'] deportation will be carried out safely and with comfort, they are still not convinced of this.
Make sure that there are no attention-grabbing cases related to those people [Armenians] near cities or other public centers. From the point of view of this policy, it is more important that foreigners residing in these areas are convinced that their expulsion is really only a resettlement.
Therefore, polite treatment is important for a short time. The usual measures should be applied in suitable places. As a necessary measure, I recommend you to arrest the persons who gave out the classified information and hand over their case to the military authorities for trial by the military tribunal.
Secretly eliminate every Armenian from the eastern provinces you see.
"It is necessary to punish those who want to ensure the existence of Armenians, who were a dangerous element for Turkey for centuries and recently tried to flood our entire country in blood. Send secret instructions to officials.
Despite the fact that, first of all, it is necessary to destroy the Armenian clergy, it became known to us that the clergy was sent to such suspicious places as Syria and Jerusalem. This decision is an inexcusable omission. The final goal of the exile of such rebels is their elimination. I advise you to act in accordance with this.
"We heard rumors that some officials appeared before the military tribunal. They are accused of extortion and cruelty towards the known nation. Even if this was a mere formality, it could weaken the position of other officials. For this reason, I order you to not allow such investigations.
"Paying attention to all sorts of personal complaints coming from the mentioned people means not only delaying their exile to the desert but also creating an opportunity for a number of actions that can cause political hardships in the future. Therefore, there is no need to pay any attention to their statements. Officials involved in this matter should be instructed accordingly.
Armenians in the Aleppo region should be immediately sent to the location of the exile. Report on it.
There is nothing wrong with the fact that government agencies accept telegrams from Armenians expressing discontent and protest against the actions committed against them. But their consideration is an unnecessary waste of time. Tell these dissatisfied people that they will be able to make claims for infringement of their rights after they reach the designated places of exile.
We learned that correspondents of Armenian newspapers traveling through these places have fabricated several letters and photographs depicting some criminal actions and handed them to the American consuls. Arrest and eliminate these dangerous individuals.
Collect and keep only those orphans who are unable to remember the painful deaths of their parents. Leave the others with the caravans.
Reply to the telegram of December 2, 1915
Tell those who wish to avoid general deportation by agreeing to become a Muhammadan that they can do this at their places of exile.
It was decided that all Armenians working on the railway or any other construction works should be sent to their places of exile. The Ministry of War notified the chiefs of the exile camps about this.
We learned that many foreign officers saw the corpses of the mentioned people on the roads and photographed them. Those corpses need to be immediately buried, not exposed.
All Armenians from the north should be sent directly to their places of exile. Do not allow them to pass through cities or villages on their way.
It is reported that some of the newly opened shelters also accept Armenian children. Regardless of whether this is due to ignorance about our true goal or in spite of it, the maintenance of such children and any attempt to prolong their life will be considered an act completely contrary to the intentions of the government, since it views the existence of these children undesirable. I advise you to not take such children to any shelters and to not make attempts to establish special shelters for them.
We learned that there are approximately 40-50 thousand Armenians, mostly women and children, all along the way stretching between Intilli, Ayran, and Aleppo.
These people are causing a lot of trouble remaining on important military roads and should be severely punished. Contact the governor of Adana and immediately send these Armenians to Aleppo, not permitting them to go any further. I look forward to the results this week.
Continuation of No. 840 telegram of January 16.
Do not resettle the Armenian workers left in Intilli and Ayran until the construction of the railway is completed. But since they are not allowed to live with their families, place them temporarily somewhere on the outskirts of Aleppo. Immediately send women and children to the desert in accordance with the previous telegram.
At a time when thousands of Muslim refugees and widows of our martyrs need food and protection, it is inappropriate to make additional expenses by feeding the remaining children of Armenians. That will not give us anything except for anxiety in the future. It is necessary to send these children from your vilayets to the places of exile. Those who have remained there must be also deported in fulfillment of our previous orders.
To the General Committee on the placement of exiled people
By continuing the deportation of orphans to their destination in the conditions of severe cold, we will provide them with eternal peace. Please send us the required report.
The military authorities announced the necessity of using the mentioned men of call-up age in military forces. We consider their transfer to military zones inappropriate, and since there is no order on leaving them in cities, we allow you to use them outside the settlements in road construction works or any other necessary jobs, provided that their families are exiled. For this purpose, the Ministry of War issued special orders to the military authorities. Keep in touch with them and act in concert.
Collect the Armenian children who by the orders of the Ministry of War were situated in one place and put under the care of military authorities. Take them out on the pretext that the Committee on Deportation will take care of them so that there is no suspicion. Eliminate them and prepare a report.

Al Oido -The best of Mónica Giraldo presents one of the finest singer-songwriters in the current Colombian scene. Mónica Giraldo delivers a set of beautiful songs, accessible and exquisite at the same time.
Mónica Giraldo has an engaging vocal style that immediately hooks you in. She's also an excellent guitar player and her intention is to highlight the role of the guitar in Colombian music.
Mestizaje (hybridization) has been a focus for Mónica Giraldo for several years. She incorporates Colombian traditional genres such as cumbia and bullerengue along with Cuban and Brazilian musical influences.
The CD version of this album is highly recommended. It includes a nicely-designed booklet with notes, lyrics and credits in Spanish and English.
Al Oido – The best of Mónica Giraldo is an excellent introduction to the beautifully-crafted songs of Mónica Giraldo.
Sonia Bazanta Vides, better known as Totó La Momposina, is a remarkable singer and dancer. She has earned respect and admiration in many parts of the world for the power and spontaneity of her performance. Drawing on the music and dance of the Colombian Caribbean, her work is rooted and inspired by a rich cultural mix that combines elements from African, indigenous and Spanish traditions.
On stage, Totó's dynamic set of songs and dances is accompanied by a range of traditional instruments, but she also performs with three generations of her own family, her daughter Eurídice, and her granddaughter, María del Marpero, both of whom also since and dance. Totó presents rhythms from Colombia's Caribbean coast alongside Cuban son, guaracha, rumba and bolero.
Totó La Momposina was born in the small village of Talaigua, on the island of Mompos, in Colombia's Atlantic coast, off the Great Magdalene River. This island was at one time a sanctuary to fugitive African slaves from Cuba. As a result, Totó La Momposina's music, like most of the music from the Caribbean, is heavily influenced by African music in addition to its European and indigenous roots. Born into a family of musicians spanning 5 generations, Totó learned to sing and dance as a child. She used to sing a cappella at parties and festivities in Colombia.
As a young woman, Totó traveled from village to village researching the lore of her people. She became a cantadora. A cantadora (singer) is more than someone who sings songs. It means she has a certain social position of responsibility. Traditionally cantadoras grow yucca, plantain and pumpkins on their land. They supply marital advice and herbal medicine, prepare authentic foods and drinks and participate and sing traditional music in its original form at public functions.
Totó has been performing cumbia music professionally for over thirty years. The music is the result of the fused influences of her culture. It is music to be appreciated, but also, as she is quick to remind her audiences, it is music which should be danced.
Her performances are a living catalog of the traditional music and dances found in the Caribbean. Totó La Momposina and her ensemble Sus Tambores, (her drummers) perform more than 10 styles of Caribbean music. During the course of their show, elements of cumbia, gaita, porro, bullerenge, garabato, mapale and chalupa are performed.
On stage she performs the songs the villagers sing to accompany them while they perform their chores. Her song Pilandera for example is a song with a rhythm that is used to pace the pounding of corn. Another song contains lyrics which are meant to break the monotony of scrubbing cloths in the river.
Rapidly gaining a reputation for her impressive voice and presence she began to appear outside Colombia in the 1970s touring everywhere with her 12-piece band in a conscious effort to preserve her people's music. "I feel a brotherhood with the drums from Senegal and Cuba," she says. "They play a universal language with which Colombians are well acquainted." In 1991 WOMAD took her to Europe and she performed at their festival. Since that period, she is still performing all other the world.
In 2011 she received the National Life and Work Award from the Ministry of Culture of Colombia. In 2013, she received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Latin Grammy.
Colombian percussionist and composer Samuel Torres was born September 4, 1976 in Bogotá, Colombia. He has toured with Arturo Sandoval, and has played with renowned jazz artists such as the late Tito Puente, Chick Corea, Poncho Sanchez, and more.
On his debut album Skin Tones, Torres created a world of sweet sounds with his original compositions. Utilizing the seminal rhythms of his homeland, a long-standing love of song and melody, and the sounds of his conga drums and other percussion instruments, he enriched his passion for African and Cuban rhythms with a knowledge of classical composition, elements of jazz and improvisation, and a lifetime of listening.
He has recorded with Alejandro Sanz, Sarah Aroeste, Lara Bello, Lila Downs, The Chieftains, Edmar Castañeda, Richard Bona, and Shakira.
Petrona Martínez was Born January 27, 1939 in San Cayetano, Colombia. She is one of the most important Afro-Colombian artists in Caribbean Colombia. She learned the bullerengue in an spontaneous manner, very early in her life. All the songs are composed by her. In all of them there is a piece of hard and difficult life but full of magic.
Petrona knows the prayers to give farewell to the dead and she works as a midwife to welcome the new born.
In 1999, then 62 years old, she became Colombia's maximum representative of pure folk music. The album "El Bullerengue" that contains a sample of wake songs was published by the French label Ocora. Later, she released in Colombia "La vida vale la pena", where the life of a peasant dedicated to the extraction of sand of the stream to be able to subsist is told. All this with a deep rhythm, contagious and vital.
Since her arrival in NY in 1994, the singer Lucía Pulido has mined the rich musical traditions of her native Colombia in her ongoing search for new and distinct musical possibilities, incorporating different elements from contexts as varied as jazz, contemporary music, and chamber music. This has initiated a host of different projects.
In 1996, in collaboration with the composer Ivan Benavides and the pianist Hector Martignon, she inaugurated the first stage of her New York experience: an ensemble of original and traditional compositions that effortlessly combined elements of Latin jazz with popular Colombian rhythms. Also participating on the project was the drummer and percussionist Satoshi Takeishi with whom she was to initiate a very fruitful collaboration in the years to come.
After a brief period of reworking and interpreting traditional themes which culminated in Fiesta de Tambores, Lucia and Satoshi unveiled a more ambitious project, the critically acclaimed Cantos Religiosos y Paganos de Colombia, blending contemporary chamber music with ancestral songs and percussion, released on the Intuition label.
In addition to this avant garde style, she also sings arrangements of traditional Colombian songs from various regions which tend to maintain elements of traditional music alongside urban experimentalism, as well as compositions and arrangements especially written for her by Latin American composers such as Ivan Benavides , Sebastian Cruz and Fernando Tarres".
Representing the best of Colombia's Afro-Indigenous culture, Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto, musical heirs to gaita music. They have been performing together for more than 50 years. Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto are masters of Colombia's puya and porro music as well as gaita corrida. The gaita ensemble consists of two duct-flutes called gaitas (not to be confused with the Spanish gaita, which is a bagpipe), a maraca, and three drums and may contain a singer. The gaita, a wind instrument fashioned from wood, beeswax and a feather, has indigenous origins.
Los Gaiteros were created in the 1950s and now span several generations of musicians. Ranging from 60 to 85 years of age, these artists have single-handedly saved this cultural legacy, dedicating their entire lives to performing and transmitting their knowledge throughout Colombia. The music transcends social, political, and cultural boundaries making Los Gaiteros one of the best interpreters of the beauty and complexity of Colombian culture.
The vibrations of the African drums, the haunting sounds of Indigenous flutes, and the nostalgia of Spanish melodies, created what is now known as gaita, a unique sound emerging from centuries of mixing of three cultures: African slaves, indigenous groups, and Spanish settlers.
In November 2007 the band received a Best Folk Album Latin Grammy for the album Un fuego de sangre pura. Later, in 2012, Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto's album Así tocan los indios received the colombian Premio Shock award for best folk album .
In 2014 the band collaborated with Diego Gómez and English producer Adrian Sherwood to release the experimental recording Dub de gaita.

Morinosaurus (wat 'Morini-hagedis' betekent, voor een oud volk in Noord-Frankrijk) is een geslacht van uitgestorven sauropode dinosauriërs uit een naamloze formatie van rotsen uit het Laat-Jura (Kimmeridgien) uit Boulogne-sur-Mer, Départment du Pas-de-Calais uit Frankrijk. Het is een obscuur tandgeslacht dat soms wordt verwezen naar het Engelse prullenbaktaxon Pelorosaurus uit het Vroeg-Krijt.

Geschiedenis en taxonomie
De Franse paleontoloog Henri-Ëmile Sauvage baseerde dit geslacht op een enkele versleten tand, blijkbaar nu verloren gegaan, die hij vergeleek met die van Hypselosaurus. Vreemd genoeg, ondanks illustraties van de tand en de implicaties van het vergelijken ervan met een titanosauriër met smal gekroonde tanden, werd hij in twee belangrijke recensies opgenomen als synoniem van Pelorosaurus. Pelorosaurus, zijnde een vermeende brachiosauride, wordt verondersteld breedgekroonde tanden te hebben gehad.

De leeftijd was echter geen probleem, omdat werd verwezen naar de mogelijke Pelorosaurus-soort Pelorosaurus manseli (= Ischyrosaurus), die ook uit het Laat-Jura stamde (de vraag of Ischyrosaurus of een andere Jura-soort moet worden opgenomen in Pelorosaurus is een ander probleem). De meest recente recensie beschouwt het als een nomen dubium zonder verder commentaar.

Sauvage suggereerde ook dat een gedeeltelijk rechteropperarmbeen tot het type-individu behoorde.

Paleobiologie
Morinosaurus zou een grote, viervoetige herbivoor zijn geweest. Het hebben van titanosaurusachtige tanden kan duiden op meer titanosauride of diplodocoïde-achtige voedingsgewoonten, maar dit is speculatief. De tandkroon was vijftig millimeter lang en had een doorsnede van twaalf bij zestien millimeter.

In the year 2009, the Institute of Musicology was entrusted with a parlour grand piano, manufactured by Josef and Adolf Gössl, from the late 19th century. The Viennese action piano was donated to the Scientific Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts by the family of dr. Jola Škulj in 2008 and then restored by Zlatko Pavlinić and his colleagues from Zagreb. On 29 June 2009, the Institute of Musicology organised an event which included a presentation of the restoration procedure and a small concert. Ana Samobor, a tallented pupil from the Vič-Rudnik music school, performed Franz Schubert's Impromptu in A-flat Major and the first movement of Sonata in E Major by Ludwig van Beethoven. On this occasion, the director of Scientific Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts gave special thanks to the family of dr. Jola Škulj for their donation.
The Institute of Musicology also organised several concerts which presented the public with an exceptional opportunity to experience the historical sound of this late 19th century Viennese action piano.
