There are many editions of Proposed Territory of Arizona. This edition would be useful if you would like to enrich your French-English vocabulary, whether for self-improvement or for preparation in advanced of college examinations. Webster's edition of this classic is organized to expose the reader to a maximum number of difficult and potentially ambiguous English words. Rare or idiosyncratic words and expressions are given lower priority compared to “difficult, yet commonly used” English words. Rather than supply a single translation, many words are translated for a variety of meanings in French, allowing readers to better grasp the ambiguity of English without using the notes as a pure translation crutch.

Product Description
The following catalogue contains a descriptive enumeration of the archaeologic and ethnologic specimens collected in Arizona and New Mexico during the season of 1881. These collections were all obtained from the pueblo of Zuñi in Northwestern New Mexico, and the pueblos comprising the province of Tusayan, in Northeastern Arizona. The entire collection contains about four thousand nine hundred specimens.

The articles of stone consist of axes, in various conditions of preservation. Some are quite perfect, while many are more or less impaired by modern uses, for which they were not originally intended. In nearly all instances they are grooved, and a few are provided with double splitting or cutting edges; but as a rule these axes were made with one end blunt for pounding or hammering, while the opposite end is provided with an edge. The large pestles and mortars were designed for crushing grain and food, the small ones for grinding and mixing mineral pigments for ceramic or decorative purposes.

Among the articles of stone are about one hundred and fifty hunting and war amulets. These objects present the most interesting features of the collection, and were among the most difficult articles to obtain. The Indians prize them very highly as keepsakes, which they employ in war, the chase, and sacred ceremonies. Each specimen is specifically referred to in the catalogue, accompanied with some wood-cut illustrations of such specimens as possess the greatest significance.

Mr. Frank H. Cushing has presented a full account of the history, traditions, and uses of these images or gods, in a paper entitled "Zuñi Fetiches," in the Second Annual Report of the Bureau for 1882, to which the reader is referred.

In these collections, as in those of the two previous seasons, articles of clay predominate. They consist of Tinajas, or large, decorated, vase-shaped water-vessels. These vary in capacity from one to six gallons, and are the principal vessels used for holding and storing water for domestic purposes. These vases do not vary greatly in form, yet the colored designs with which they are ornamented present as many variations as there are specimens. The causes for these variations, both in size and ceramic characters, as well as the method of manufacturing them, are quite fully explained in the notes accompanying my catalogue of collections from these same localities in the Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology for 1880-'81.

The collection also contains a large number of jug-shaped canteens, varying in capacity from one pint to three gallons. These vessels, like an ordinary jug, are provided with a small nozzle, and are used to carry water and to drink from. They vary in their decorative designs, but are seldom as elaborate or beautiful as the vases.

In the collection are also clay spoons, ladles, and dippers of two or three kinds of ware, such as red, white, and black, of various sizes. Many of these are fancifully decorated. Also pitchers, mugs, and cups of different patterns, forms, and sizes, variously ornamented in red, black, and white. A very fine collection of meal or sacred pottery baskets was obtained. These are also of varied forms or types, some with handles, terraced and fluted edges or rims, usually decorated with figures of the tadpole and horned frog, and occasionally with the representation of the road runner, and frequently with the sacred butterfly.

The condiment vessels form no small part of the collection.

Product Description
The Arizona Cardinals are a professional American Football team based in Glendale, Arizona. The Cardinals are members of the Western Division of the National Football Conference (NFC) in the National Football League (NFL). The Cardinals were founded in 1898, and are the oldest continuously run professional American football club in the United States. They are the current NFC Champions. The team was established in Chicago in 1898 and was a charter member of the NFL in 1920. Along with the Chicago Bears, the club is one of two franchises still in operation since the league's founding. The club moved to St. Louis, Missouri, in 1960 and played in that city through 1987 (sometimes referred to as the "football Cardinals" to avoid confusion with the baseball St. Louis Cardinals). Before the 1988 NFL season, the team moved to Tempe, Arizona, an eastern suburb of Phoenix, and played their home games for the next 18 years at Arizona State University's Sun Devil Stadium. In 2006 the club began playing all home games at the newly constructed University of Phoenix Stadium in the northwestern suburb of Glendale. ... Read more

A stranger on first entering Arizona is impressed with the newness and wildness that surrounds him. Indeed, the change is so great that it seems like going to sleep and waking up in a new world. Everything that he sees is different from the familiar objects of his home, and he is filled with wonder and amazement at the many curious things that are brought to his notice. Judging the country by what is common back east, the average man is disappointed and prejudiced against what he sees; but, estimated on its merits, it is found to be a land of many attractions and great possibilities.

Product Description
It is not my intention in the present paper--which is simply what it purports to be, a _catalogue_--to attempt any discussion of the habits, customs, or domestic life of the Indian tribes from whom the articles were obtained; nor to enter upon a general comparison of the pottery and other objects with articles of a like character of other, nations or tribes. Occasionally attention may be called to striking resemblances between certain articles and those of other countries, where such comparison will aid in illustrating form or character.

The collection contains two thousand eight hundred and fifty-eight specimens. Although it consists very largely of vessels and other articles of pottery, yet it embraces almost every object necessary to illustrate the domestic life and art of the tribes from whom the largest number of the specimens were obtained. It includes, in addition to pottery, implements of war and hunting, articles used in domestic manufactures, articles of clothing and personal adornment, basketry, trappings for horses, images, toys, stone implements, musical instruments, and those used in games and religious ceremonies, woven fabrics, foods prepared and unprepared, paints for decorating pottery and other objects, earths of which their pottery is manufactured, mineral pigments, medicines, vegetable dyestuffs, &c. But the chief value of the collection is undoubtedly the great variety of vessels and other articles of pottery which it contains. In this respect it is perhaps the most complete that has been made from the pueblos. Quite a number of articles of this group may perhaps be properly classed as "ancient," and were obtained more or less uninjured; but by far the larger portion are of modern manufacture.

ARTICLES OF STONE.

These consist of pestles and mortars for grinding pigments; circular mortars, in which certain articles of food are bruised or ground; _metates_, or stones used for grinding wheat and corn; axes, hatchets, celts, mauls, scrapers &c.

The cutting, splitting, pounding, perforating, and scraping implements are generally derived from schists, basaltic, trachytic, and porphyritic rocks, and those for grinding and crushing foods are more or less composed of coarse lava and compact sandstones. Quite a number of the metate rubbing stones and a large number of the axes are composed of a very hard, heavy, and curiously mottled rock, a specimen of which was submitted to Dr. George W. Hawes, Curator of Mineralogy to the National Museum, for examination, and of which he says:

"This rock, which was so extensively employed by the Pueblo Indians for the manufacture of various utensils, has proved to be composed largely of quartz, intermingled with which is a fine, fibrous, radiated substance, the optical properties of which demonstrate it to be fibrolite. In addition, the rock is filled with minute crystals of octahedral form which are composed of magnetite, and scattered through the rock are minute yellow crystals of rutile. The red coloration which these specimens possess is due to thin films of hematite. The rock is therefore fibrolite schist, and from a lithological standpoint it is very interesting. The fibrolite imparts the toughness to the rock, which, I should judge, would increase its value for the purposes to which the Indians applied it."

The axes, hatchets, mauls, and other implements used for cutting, splitting, or piercing are generally more or less imperfect, worn, chipped, or otherwise injured. This condition is to be accounted for by the fact that they are all of ancient manufacture; an implement of this kind being rarely, if ever, made by the Indians at the present day. They are usually of a hard volcanic rock, not employed by the present inhabitants in the manufacture of implements. They have in most cases been collected from the ruins of the Mesa and Cliff dwellers, by whose ancestors.

Product Description
In 1994, Arizona lawmakers took the first steps toward parental choice in education through the open-enrollment and charter school laws. Later, lawmakers added reforms such as scholarship tax credits (1997 and 2006) and limited vouchers (2006). With 13 years of experience in school choice experiments, the time has come for Arizona to take stock of the past and make plans for the future. This paper examines the progress of the existing Arizona school choice programs and makes recommendations for their improvement and expansion.

Research from Harvard, UCLA, and other institutions has shown that Arizonas choice programs have improved public school performance and led to faster learning gains for students exercising choice.

Research also shows that choice programs are not plagued by some of the pitfalls critics feared. For instance, data show that parents are not motivated by segregationist impulses in choosing schools outside of their assigned public schools. Rather, parents choose schools with higher test scores.

Despite the promise of school choice, the pace of charter school openings has stalled in recent years, largely because of problems with the charter school authorization process. Allowing universities to authorize charter schools should help to expand the charter school market.

Likewise, Arizonas existing school choice programs are too small to create a widespread system of competition for students. Arizonas scholarship tax credit is limited, raising less revenue than would cover half of a single medium-sized school districts operating expenses. Enrollment growth in the public schools has far outpaced the creation of new parental options. Some abysmally performing Arizona districts, for example, have more students today than before the school choice implementation in 1994.

Parents and students have benefited from Arizonas positive, but limited, school choice programs. To fully enjoy the benefits of parental choice, lawmakers should create a personal use tax credit. Coupled with means-testing of the original scholarship credit, such a tax credit would create a universal system of school choice. ... Read more

Product Description
Under the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, states, local governments, private institutions, and the people--not the federal government--bear the responsibility of funding and administering education. Congress, however, circumvents the 10th Amendment through the Spending Clause in Article 1 to justify funding a vast array of federal programs, including the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). NCLB created a federal education accountability system that often conflicts with Arizona's existing education accountability system, AZ Learns. As a result, principled federalists, frustrated by the overly prescriptive federal education law, have called for Arizona to opt out of NCLB.

While opting out would free the state from the federal accountability provisions, it would jeopardize some $584 million in federal funding. Without the federal dollars, the state would bear the cost of its AZ Learns accountability system and Arizona public schools would have to reduce or eliminate programs. Moreover, while Arizona taxpayers would continue to send their tax dollars to Washington, they would not recoup any of that funding through NCLB funding streams.

Opting out is a viable option for Arizona, and should be carefully considered. Such consideration, however, should not impede improvements to the existing state system. Arizona can increase the rigor of its testing system, Arizona's Instrument to Measure Standards (AIMS). In 2005, AIMS "cut scores" were lowered so that students with a poor grasp of reading or math were deemed to be at grade level. Such testing does not provide meaningful transparency to policymakers and parents.

The upcoming 2007 congressional reauthorization of NCLB is an opportunity for Congress to give states more flexibility and control over their education systems. Creation of a "charter state" option would enable states to have discretion over their federal funding in exchange for results-based accountability. A charter state agreement would free Arizona from Washington's prescriptions and regulations, ultimately allowing the state to target education dollars and maintain a single accountability system. ...

Good Review Material but, Inaccurate occasionally
I bought this book for help with my upcoming real estate exam.I figured the CD ROM would be the best way for me to gauge my readiness and test physically at home while I had the opportunity to do my best.I was wrong.

Lets start with print quality!The book is cheaply made with print that occasionally fade through the deeper you get into the chapters. They waste a good portion of time and material on preparation for the exam.It's my feeling that if you are unable to study and learn how to take exams then maybe you should consider picking up materials on that.It's nice they included it but I would have liked more bulk on the exam itself instead of preparations.

As it turns out, the CD-ROM has some major defects.For Example;A question asks how many hours of class time you are required to complete to get your AZ Real Estate License... There was no correct answer so I just guessed a wrong answer knowing I'd see an reason later when I review. Only I didn't expect it to say ....

The number of class hours a person must complete before being eligible to taking the real estate sales exam is

A. three.
B. 60.
C. six-hour boot camp class.
D. 24 hours every two years.

Correct answer, B. (which is listed as 60 hrs)The correct answer is 90 hours or class time.

Here is one directly from the CD-ROM with poor English...

If two agents have an issue with their commission, what they must do?

Although the correct answer this time was fine.... I was less concerned on "What they must do?" and more concerned with "when this author is going to go to English class or hire a proofreader!"

This is so much fun... here is another one from the CD-ROM (cover says a $35.00 Value!What a crock!

Who holds bare-naked legal title?

A. the trustor
B. the trustee
C. the buyer
D. the beneficiary


ANSWER EXPLANATION: D, The trustee holds bare-naked legal title and acts for the beneficiary and trustor.


How many years must brokers need to keep their records?

A. one
B. five
C. forever
D. 12


ANSWER EXPLANATION: C, Brokers are required by law to keep their records for five years.

It doesn't even match!



So, who do I contact for a refund on this!I paid more than this is worth.Do not buy this at Retail price!Used price for $6.00-$12.00 - or maybe if you know enough that this is just extra help.

There are alternatives such as online testers with better quality and better books.Such a shame.... this could have been a better product.Just not worth the advertised amount here.
