AMOT

AMOT -  I value this CHAMORU WORD TO MEAN TWO THINGS,  ONE IS MEDICINE THE OTHER IS TO TAKE AWAY....I THEORIZE TO TAKE AWAY THE SICKNESS.


Rewound


The coal black jagged backstreets of  the village island was strewn with vagabonds, immigrants, surfers, goners and losers', handicapped, mentally retarded motte crew community of 2051 in Guam.  Yet it looked like right out of --- storybook of 10-14th century Europe with its 100 year wars.


Buildings charred, empty, dilapidated, baron land making it impossible to envision the once tropical trade wind and  joggers and sun tanners stretched peacefully all over the powder-white sandy beaches just 30 years ago.

 

A woman walking humped over with a long skinny crooked stick carrying her salvaging basket woven of plastic bags left over from days of plastic manufactured right on this once bustling island by the one and only Gene and Lydia Fleming Black Plastic Company' in the 80's.


The humped woman thinks she's died and gone to hell as she treks painfully uphill, she hears the mentally challenged, overweight and bald genderless people,  of their

 own making, ...they put on weight to keep the sex-hungry animals called men at bay and bald so to keep the lice and cockroaches off.


They call out, 'eh put some clothes on' to the 'cool cat surfer chics and dudes,, as the surfers rinse off their naked thin, sun-burned bodies from the water they've collected several hundred miles south in CHuuk Lagoon, the only island in Micronesia with unpolluted water.  About a thousand filled bags they'll sell for their meager lives.  The plastic bag was the only resource not worth a penny to the RICOS, (rich islanders crooked office subject). The new race remained indestructible buying up all bottles and all other recyclables for the Chinese, whose voted in our President , as we now are ruled by Chines president. (For ? ..later)


As the woman switched her carriage to her other shoulder  to ease the crease on her leathered-tanned  arm, it’s swishing plastics sounds stirred up the pack of hungry sleeping dogs.  They slept so soundly content with their morning feast earlier when one of the four-legged animals chewed-off a drunkard-sex-craved two-legged animal that no one bothered to help.  For some unknown reason, the old woman, firm in her believe, that this is 'Hell', closed her eyes, opened her arms up to the sky.


Here's what she saw...her life before her.  In  2012, all the pleasantries and 

.  Write in.

Rewound:  2000... Describe her good island living.


But when she opened her eyes, she saw the mangiest and biggest dog of the pact right on her, standing face to face, paw to palm, spread-eagle.


What she thought of again was that this is HELL, and so if she's in HELL, to hell with it all, she looked right at the dog and said, 'come on now be cool!  And when she felt that he was not going to let the pack see him cower to the gentle woman's touch, the woman felt her blood heat up and shouted 'oh yea how about I crack,.'..and from out of no where one surfer chic clad only in baby blue colored bra and panty, blond and fit, pulled an arrow the old woman had never seen before.  It looked like it was made out of whale-bones, possibly or bones of ancient people of CHamoru Micronesian in the Marianas. In sudden, all she heard was this ,'wisp' on her left side, and then a flying pack of dogs kicked up not dust, leaving nothing behind but dusts of gold filigree -

Trickle


White sandy bunnies in bikini..'surfs up bro' called out one Shallese.  White-tanned golden people all around.  Breath of crisp linen scent fill the air in the year 2050.  Sprits  of underground perfume possibly siphoning through fiber optic sized earth deodorizer extending from the continental US or neighboring Guam, an island now the home to elitist tax haven mixture of land wealthy Guamanians and well-off military retirees.


The beach bunnies and frogs spent from long day of swimming and sunning, not knowing that the ground they are rolling around in is anything but powdery sand. The model-like group of teens are necking under the scorching purple sun.  Their eyes are violet and speckled with white dust resembling winter summer clear starry night.


As the setting sun lower, making room for the gray moon, a vacant eyed tribe walk past, heads lowered.   Completely invisible to the teens.  One wonders, are they ghosts?  


Facts below not dream.

Script:The world exposed of US's Lunatic idea to dump garbage and more toxic waste... In a thriller, murder, love in the trickle of the poison of deranged minds in beautiful people as toxic as the island...so beautiful yet contaminated.    



Characters are the new locals (children, of the once vital U.S military  post now citizens there and known as the Shallese of the Marshalls, who were  left behind to remain as they are contaminated in idyllic sizzles and fizzles into the atmosphere .   The main character is from an atoll, Arno,, having witness the dehumanizing effects of the atomic bomb test in 1954, dubbing the explosive 2 piece bathing suite Bikini, while  in France the two-piece bathing created more memories for the Great Ones, obviously .   The locals often scad in bikini and life idyllic.  But as a returning ghost.  learned the island is built from garbage and toxic wastes that helped pay for her college degree in the mainland she trickles in with the ghosts to return carma (at it's best..twists n turn). Come up with plot



Turns out the ghosts are super magnetically powered humans due to years of radioactivities leaking into their food and water, and air.


These 'ghosts', having managed to collect all the metals of earth and built themselves a super island home in space, self sufficient and terrestrial like-beings able to keep from illness or pain and formed a nation that is about to blow the arse of U.S. Continent and the  manufactures of the first known silken-siphone Garbage bin from west coast to Marshalls 




MAJURO, Marshall Islands — Bucking the global trend, a chain of Pacific islands is eyeing a multimillion-dollar plan to import American garbage.


While countries around the world are giving a thumbs down to the international trade in waste, the Marshall Islands sees profit and possible salvation from a plan to import up to one-tenth of the nontoxic waste produced on the West Coast.


The waste would be used as landfill to enlarge the chain of remote, low-lying atolls. In return, the Marshall Islands would also get millions of dollars in fees for the trash.


The nation's  parliament passed a resolution in March authorizing President Amata Kabua to negotiate a deal with a California-based company to ship millions of tons of rubbish.


Several other Pacific islands have recently turned down similar deals offered by U.S. firms to dispose of trash.


Admiralty Pacific Inc., a waste disposal company, hopes to begin transporting garbage to the Marshalls, 4,200 miles southwest of the United States, by June, 1990, and eventually ship tens of millions of tons a year.


Kabua, who first endorsed the scheme last October after meeting with Admiralty officials, says he wants the garbage for the money and for badly needed landfill in the archipelago.


The atolls cover a 70-square-mile area and few of its islands rise more than 5 feet above the sea.


But the environmentalist group Greenpeace is accusing the company, which says it wants to ship 10% of household waste produced on the U.S. West Coast, of trying to evade American regulations on waste disposal.


International Treaty


Most of the world's nations reached agreement on March 22 in Basel, Switzerland, on an international treaty to control the export of hazardous waste.


The convention aimed to curb what African countries called "garbage imperialism," dumping of waste by the West in the Third World.


Admiralty's owner, Dan Fleming, says the company will respect Majuro and Washington safety laws in shipping the waste to the Pacific nation, an operation he says will be cheaper than transporting it by land to other parts of the United States.


Imported waste is not a new concept to the 43,000 inhabitants of the Marshall Islands, a double chain of low-lying coral atolls that Washington used as a nuclear testing site in the 1950s.


Is it happening?  Who is getting the money?  Look at the deplorable living among the garbage by beautiful azure water.


Some 66 nuclear weapons were exploded on Bikini and Enewetak atolls at that time, and some areas are still uninhabitable due to radiation contamination.


The islands were a former United Nations Trust Territory administered by Washington until gaining semi-independence in 1986. They depend on U.S. aid for 90% of their government budget.


Members of Majuro's Parliament hotly debated the resolution on the garbage plan before passing it on March 10 by a 20-3 majority. Critics raised fears that the Marshalls might unknowingly end up importing toxic waste.


Sen. Hiroshi Yamamura, who represents an island contaminated by radioactive fallout from the 1950s testing, said Majuro had no way to be sure that the waste was safe.


"Do we really trust the Americans?" he asked in Parliament. "How can we know that the so-called household garbage is nontoxic waste?"


"Admiralty Pacific may hide the toxic waste in order to get the money," said Senator Tony de Brum. "More than 40 nations have turned down the U.S. offer regarding the dumping proposal. Why should the Marshall Islands accept it?"


In the last year, Papua New Guinea, Western Samoa, the Solomon Islands and Tonga have turned down a variety of waste disposal and incineration schemes proposed by American firms.


Greenpeace estimates that a ton of American household garbage contains 20 pounds of toxic material, such as cleaning fluids, lead-based paints and pesticides, and that their removal would make a deal like the one proposed by Admiralty unprofitable.


President Kabua, who hopes to bring in as much as $56 million a year importing the trash, and his cousin and sponsor of the resolution, Sen. Imata Kabua, said Majuro could hire scientists to evaluate the safety of the plan.


The Majuro government says the plan still depends on the completion of environmental, landfill and other studies to see if it will benefit the Marshall Islands.


Admiralty is expected to complete an engineering feasibility study, which it began in January, this month.


The British pressure group Ark said last month that global warming because of the pollution-induced "greenhouse effect" could raise the world's sea levels by more than 15 feet over the next 60 years.


If such studies prove true, the Marshalls could be totally submerged.

Wealthy retirees visit the Narshalles:  get photo credits from PATA, 


During a Pacific Asia Travel Association meeting held in Majuro, an avid hiker trailed off the path of from the  group of 10 elderly members.  Known for her soulful spiritual connection to land, her friends left her to her own path.  The first light of sun rise had just allowed Cher her glimpse of the locals wiggling out of a resin-like cocoon.  Pure glossy white webbed, a scent of rubbing alcohol filled the air.  The stark difference of herself waking up out of bed with messy hair  and  bloodshot eyes, the locals appearance of prepared disco-ready cone shaped haired glimmering across the silvery blue water splashes that awaits  their athlete bodies for their 10 miles swim across to ArnoAtoll.  Cher who packed in her fins and goggles chose a save distance to follow the jet setters , possibly 20 of ageless male and female equal in number. 


Once there, a row of coconuts were lined up for each to place between their thighs just halfway above waterline.    Twirling the coconuts it’s their thighs while holding up in unison towards the eastern horizon.  


Cher have heard from her once best friend Lana about how her a Great grand Aunt taught some of her cousins whose from the island of Tinian,  Arno regarded as the Sex School Island made Lana’s daughter Mara cringe with stories about teaching moves in the water to help one be a generous partner in the act of sex: face up floating and feeling the waves just lift and drop every inch of the body but to focus the move as if you were under your partners body.  Lana herself a descendant of Spanish catholic decrying sexual desires, halted from passing down her paternal tradition. Curious now, she asks herself indeed how did this traction come into their life.  Even before he violent no bomb, historical pirates travels of Bully Hayes.

OBSERVATION - Why Don't Students Like School?

"Because the Mind is Not Designed for Thinking"
"Strange as it may sound, the mind is not designed for thinking--it's designed to save us from having to think. Because thinking is slow, effort-full, and uncertain, we rely on memory, not thought, to guide us whenever possible. Nonetheless, we are curious and we do like to think, so long as the issue or problem at hand is neither too easy nor too hard." Willingham, D.T.www.danielwillingham.com

When our ED443 classmate said out loud "I don't read instruction", upon signing out for a video camera, I too agreed quietly." Now from Mr. Willingham's research in the U.S. mainland, I know for sure this is not an "island thing."

The professor of cognitive psychology conveys that people are naturally curious, but they are not naturally good thinkers; unless cognitive conditions are right, people will avoid thinking.

The implication of this principle is that teachers should reconsider how they encourage their students to think in order to maximize the likelihood that students will get the pleasurable rush that comes from successful thought.

That said, all my ED443 classmates of Fall 2009 would agree that Dr. J. Cyrus did just that. She gave us all the necessary
tools with the intensive projects and assignments and requirements for active collaboration. Because knowledge itself is a social network, our teacher invited us to join using technology (too many to mention here), that is itself inherently fluid, flexible and often geared toward a bottom-up strategy of her method in facilitating the subject at hand.

It certainly raised me up from the level of having used the computer simply for a typewriter and a word processor device. I have solved many problems with the complex activities which required great effort and of course creative collaboration of all Cyrus' students I happened to meet in and out of class. The abundance of free tools given by our teacher was there for the taking.
With great practice and use of these tools, I feel confident that I can comfortably motivate my students to engage with new technologies as well.
