 Mignolo, Geopolitics of Knowledge and Colonial Difference (2001) | incommunicado
England, France and Germany were not yet colonial powers in the sixteenth and the seventeenth centuries and when they became so, they mutually reinforced nation building with colonial expansion, particularly since the nineteenth century.
France and England did not have at that point, in the Americas, a civilizing mission to accomplish, as they would have in Asia and Africa after the Napoleonic era.
Fals Borda's argument was concerned not only with a project in the social sciences for the liberation of the Third World ; rather, it concerned a project of intellectual liberation from the social sciences and, in the case of Dussel, of philosophy.

 CJNS-Identification of Six Novel SOD1 Gene Mutations in Familial Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
FALS is usually inherited as autosomal dominant trait3 though a few kindreds show autosomal recessive inheritance.
Approximately 15% of all dominant FALS are caused by a defect in the cytosolic Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase gene (SOD1) localized to human chromosome 21q22.1.
Genomic DNA from 70 unrelated FALS affected patients and from 26 normal controls were screened for mutations in SOD1 gene in all 5 exons using primers from the flanking intron sequences.

 Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Four FALS patients carried previously described mutations, the A4V (2 cases), the L84F mutations (1 case), and the G93D (1 case), while three FALS patients carried new missense mutations: the G12R mutation, the F45C mutation and the V47F mutation, respectively.
FALS is neuropathologically classified into two subtypes: classical FALS in which degeneration is restricted to only motor neurons and FALS which is characterized by the degeneration of the posterior column in addition to the lesion of the motor neuron system.
Therefore, the FALS disease process originating from SOD1 gene mutations occurs in astrocytes as well as neurons and is involved in the formation of both inclusions.

Clad in a semi-male attire, composed of a tight-fitting doublet of dark cloth and tunic reaching to the knees, high leggings and spurred boots, with a fl cap on her head, and a hauberk, the Maid was armed with lance and sword, the latter the gift of de Baudricourt.
Throughout France the effect of the news of the deliverance of Orleans was prodigious; and although most of the English, no doubt, believed that the result was owing to the instrumentality of the powers of darkness, many saw in it the finger of God.
The effects of this victory of Patay on the fortunes of the English in France were greater than the deliverance of Orleans, and far more disastrous, for the French had now for the first time beaten in the open field their former victors.

 A masonic book on-line: HISTORY OF FREEMASONRY by Albert G. Mackey. P-S Review of Freemasonry
In claiming for the "Hammerer" the title of King of France, while he assumed only the humble rank of Duke of the Franks and Mayor of the Palace, the legendists have only committed a historical error of which more experienced writers might be guilty.
It is also a historical fact that Charles the Great of France was a liberal encourager of the arts and sciences, and that he especially promoted the cultivation of architecture on the Byzantine or Greek model in his dominions.
As far as the Legend regards Charles Martel as the patron of architecture or Masonry in France, one observation remains to be made.

The FALs are essentially the same on each biface in relation to the entire biface mass, however they are different in relation to the margins.
A blow struck at the FAL on Biface A represents the minimal effort technology of Mesa and is known as off-margin striking.
A blow struck at the FAL on Biface B represents the greater effort intensity technology of Folsom, which is margin striking.

 Michael Miller - Wars of the Roses - Chapter 30: The aftermath of the Treaty of Arras 1425: Years 1435 - 1437
Philip-the-Good, the 'fals forsworn' Duke of Burgundy, the breaker of solemn alliances made with England, was the villain of the piece.
It was noted that King Henry VI was no longer addressed as the King of France, a slight which brought tears to his eyes, and played some part in the brusque and unmannerly dismissal of the envoys.
This piece of mendacious casuistry may have been lost on King Henry VI's 'subjects' in France, for whom it was also intended to persuade them that 'their King' had done all he could to make peace, but it certainly had its effect on Parliament.

 Banned Guns '94 Fal Article Pg 1- Entreprise Arms   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
The FAL has been used by more than seventy-nine nations since it was introduced in 1953, more nations than the Mauser bolt-action rifle, or even the Kalashnikov rifle.
It was conceived before the Nazi occupation of Europe, came to term during the dark years of war and was born amid the clamor of colonial wars and newly emerging nations that followed in the wake of the Axis defeat.
The FAL was also manufactured in a folding stock version was often called the “para­-model.” Note the shortened barrel and flash-hider.

The FAL prototype greatly impressed the Americans, but the idea of the intermediate cartridge was at that moment incomprehensible for them, and USA insisted on adoption of their full-power T65 cartridge as a NATO standard in 1953-1954.
The success of the FAL could be even greater if Belgians would sell the license to W.Germany, which really liked to produce the FAL as a G1 rifle, but Belgians rejected the request.
The USA produced a small amount of FALs as the T-48 at H&R factory in early 1950s for Army trials, but at the present time a number of private US Companies is manufacturing various versions of FAL rifles using either surplus parts kits or newly manufactured parts.

 Seminars - Exchange of knowledge and practice in the light of Paulo Freire.
the evolution of action research (Paulo Freire, le Père Lebret, Orlando Fals Borda, Ivan Illich, John Dewey) and to understand the mutual influences between the philosophy of Paulo Freire and that of the precursors and followers of action-research.
To underline the role of indigenous knowledge in action-research, think of the contributions of visual techniques for the valorisation and diffusion of such knowledge and more generally of Video as an instrument of participation/feedback in the investigation.
It is advisable to specify that Freire is especially known by/for his method of combating illiteracy, but his contributions to reflecting on pedagogy in general, and more particularly to any pedagogy engaged in, and committed to, the process of social transformation are as significant as his "method".

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), whether sporadic or familial (FALS), is a progressive, fatal neurodegenerative disorder involving the motor neurons of the cortex, brain stem, and spinal cord.
In FALS mice, disease onset and mortality were earlier among males than among females.
This sexual dimorphism was due to estrogen, as treatment with genistein, a phytoestrogen, eliminated the observed sexual dimorphism in FALS mice.

The Troubadours were itinerant singer-songwriters who traveled about the courts of Southern France, Catalan, and Northern Italy.
Their songs, known as cansos, were generally relatively short and divided into stanzas called coblas.
The word ioy and its derivatives also occupies an important position in the troubadour lexicon, referring to joy in all of its forms, whether spiritual, emotional, or physical.

 Adler, Mol Vis 1999; 5:31.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
In ALS, weakness and atrophy reflect dysfunction/death of motor neurons; in AD, memory loss and dementia are the result of neurofibrillary tangles, amyloid deposits, and death of neurons in cortex and hippocampus.
Subsets of cases of familial ALS (FALS) and AD (FAD), often show dominant inheritance: some cases of FALS are linked to mutations in the superoxide dismutase I (SOD l) gene; and some pedigrees with FAD exhibit mutations in genes encoding either the amyloid precursor protein (APP) or the presenilins (PS l and PS2).
These transgenic models are not only proving of great value for investigations of disease mechanisms, but they are being used to design and test novel therapies that, if effective in model systems, can be rapidly introduced into clinical trials.
