More copies of this ISBNDriving Mr. Albert: A Trip Across America with Einstein's Brainby Michael Paterniti
AwardsA New York Times Notable Book for 2000.
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Albert Einstein's brain floats in a Tupperware bowl in a gray duffel bag in the trunk of a Buick Skylark barreling across America. Driving the car is journalist Michael Paterniti. Sitting next to him is an eighty-four-year-old pathologist named Thomas Harvey, who performed the autopsy on Einstein in 1955 — then simply removed the brain and took it home. And kept it for over forty years.
On a cold February day, the two men and the brain leave New Jersey and light out on I-70 for sunny California, where Einstein's perplexed granddaughter, Evelyn, awaits. And riding along as the imaginary fourth passenger is Einstein himself, an id-driven genius, the original galactic slacker with his head in the stars. Part travelogue, part memoir, part history, part biography, and part meditation, Driving Mr. Albert is one of the most unique road trips in modern literature. Review:"Eccentric, implausible, hilarious, infuriating, and ultimately mesmerizing." The Washington Post Book World
Review:"A splendid peek into the weird side of American life. Driving Mr. Albert is a work of ... uncommon intelligence." Newsweek
Review:"Driving Mr. Albert is entertaining, absurd, real, deep and informative...in a world in which it seems that all the good ideas have been taken, it is singular." The Boston Globe
Synopsis:A journalist, an 84-year-old pathologist, and Albert Einstein's brain rocket across the country through the palpable zeitgeist of contemporary America. Part travelogue, part memoir, part history, part biography, "Driving Mr. Albert" is one of the most unique road trips in modern literature.
About the AuthorMICHAEL PATERNITI won the 1998 National Magazine Award for his article "Driving Mr. Albert," which was first published in Harper's Magazine. A former executive editor of Outside, his work has appeared in Rolling Stone, The New York Times Magazine, Details, and Esquire, where he is writer-at-large. He lives in Portland, Maine, with his wife and son.

May 10, 2007artsReviewCritic's Choice: New CDs
Amy Winehouse ''Back to Black'' (Republic) At first the songs on Amy Winehouse's second album, ''Back to Black,'' could almost be unknown soul oldies from the 1950s and 1960s. The drums, strings and horns have a vintage production style, and Ms. Winehouse's tart voice and sly, sultry phrasing sound largely unprocessed. Then the anachronisms kick in, from current slang and beats that hint at hip-hop to four-letter words and blunt references to sex and drugs. A 23-year-old English songwriter, Ms. Winehouse is decades too young for '60s nostalgia, but she has come up with a wonderfully time-twisted batch of songs.

This is a fruit-driven wine that exhibits aromas of cassis, dark plum and blackberry. A small percentage of grapes underwent whole berry fermentation, which contributes soft tannins and added richness, polished texture and an earthy body.
While summer's warm start caused anxiety over the threat of premature ripening, an influx of marine fog in August allowed grapes to hang long enough for optimal flavor development. An excellent vintage with slightly low yields, this 2001 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon displays a touch more backbone than that grown in 2000 while retaining desired concentration.
Try this full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with roasted prime rib in a cracked pepper crust, grilled veal chops with rosemary or a tender lamb chop.
Since 1978, William Hill Winery has produced wines from the cool southern regions of Napa Valley, including the Silverado Bench and the Carneros districts. The winery specializes in Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, producing Reserve and Napa Valley bottlings. Chardonnay grown in the cool climate and well-drained soils of Carneros typically offer brighter, more intense flavors and higher acidity than grapes grown in the richer soils and warmer temperatures at the upper end of the Napa Valley. The result are Chardonnays that are highly complex and multi-layered with crisp, bright flavors.
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard...Read More About Napa Valley
(cab-uhr-NAY sow-veeh-yawn) King of Red Many refer to Cabernet Sauvignon as the king of red grapes. Perhaps that title is due to its ability to grow worldwide in a number of climates, or to the fact that it produces wine with such character yet such diversity. Either way, this grape is responsible, as a whole or a partner, for some of the greatest wines in the world. In Bordeaux,...Read More About Cabernet Sauvignon

Romania's Alexandra Cadantu and Hungary's Timea Babos advanced to their first WTA career final after semifinal victories at the Monterrey Open Saturday.
Cadantu defeated Hungary's Greta Arn 6-2, 4-6, 7-5, after Timea Babos had defeated the second seed Sara Errani of Italy 6-4, 6-7 (3), 6-4 in almost two and a half hours in the first semifinal at the Sierra Madre Tennis Club.
After trading the first two sets, Cadantu made the decisive break in the 11th game of the third set and held her nerve on her next service game to advance to Sunday's final.

Company profiles
Nalco Holding Company
For most of its eight-decade history, Nalco has quietly gone about its business of producing specialty chemicals for water treatment and industrial processes. It had a higher profile in the 1970s when it challenged federal efforts to phase out the use of lead in gasoline and one of its subsidiaries was charged with botching the safety testing of drugs and chemicals.
BP (formerly British Petroleum) has become one of the world's most controversial giant corporations because of its involvement in a series of major environmental and industrial accidents. The company has been the target of intense criticism for its role in the April 2010 explosion at a drilling platform in the Gulf of Mexico that killed 11 workers and caused an underwater leak that has spewed millions of gallons of crude oil into the ocean, creating the most serious environmental disaster in U.S. history.
Chevron, once part of the Standard Oil empire, has grown over the past quarter century into the world's fourth largest petroleum company, thanks to a series of ambitious acquisitions: Gulf Oil in 1984, Texaco in 2001 and Unocal in 2005. The purchase of Texaco brought with it a massive environmental lawsuit that has dragged on for more than a decade. This is only one of a host of controversies surrounding Chevron's environmental and human rights record around the world.
Massey Energy
Massey Energy is one of the largest coal companies in the United States, and certainly one of the most controversial. In April 2010 the company received a great deal of negative attention when an explosion at one of its mines in West Virginia killed 29 workers. It later came out that the mine in question had been cited more than 1,000 times for safety violations, and that Massey had similar problems at many of its other facilities.

Redesigned Google Play Developer Console now live
If you're an Android developer, you may find yourself spending quite a bit of time dealing with the Google Play Developer Console. There has always been a solid set of features, but Google has just made a new redesign of the site live to try out.
And, as per the Google way, the new Developer Console has been designed to be faster and easier to navigate. The redesign was first shown off at Google I/O and has been tested extensively. It looks clean but with pops of color, much like the redesigns we've seen across Google's web products like Gmail, Calendar, Google+, etc.
The console has also added new tools to make it easier to track your apps over time. You can more easily see sales over time, ratings for each version of your apps, and ratings based on the different regions around the world where your app is available.
Publishing apps has also been streamlined and should be faster and easier. Additionally, listings can now be automatically translated into 49 different languages to give you more global reach with your apps.
As is the Google way, the redesign is essentially a release candidate right now, and not quite finished. But, if you're interested, it is an opt-in for those that want to test it out. Just keep in mind that a couple features like support for multiple APKs doesn't work, so you may have to switch back to the old design from time to time.

Princeton artist is 'poster child' for American Legion
For the first time, a local girl has won national recognition for her artwork in the American Legion Auxiliary's poppy poster contest.
The annual contest is open to elementary and high school students in Colusa and Glenn counties.
Fiorella Perez, 11, of Princeton, was notified of her achievement Saturday at the monthly meeting of the Jefferson Wynn Unit No. 98 of the American Legion at Princeton Elementary School.
Perez previously won certificates and cash awards for her poster, which won first place at the local, District No. 4 and the state levels of the American Legion Auxiliary.
Her poster was then selected by a panel of judges as the best poster for the Western Division of the United States.
"Fiorella's is the first national award I have presented in the 25 years that I have been poppy chairman," said Lorie Dowden, District No. 4 president.
The red poppy was first chosen as the American Legion's memorial flower in 1921 and worn in memory of the men who lost their lives in World War I.
Today, the paper flowers are made by disabled veterans, and provide a source of income and raise funds for relief work among handicapped veterans and their families.
Princeton Auxiliary volunteers will distribute the familiar red handcrafted poppies honoring America's war dead throughout the month of May.
The poppy poster contest, which the Auxiliary has sponsored for many years, helps promote the poppy as the symbol of those who have been lost or disabled in the defense of freedom, Dowden said.
"The work can only be done by one person," Dowden said. "That is why they were usually done in the classroom. But now we have opened the contest to home-schooled students and members of 4-H and Boys and Girls Scout organizations who are under supervision."
The deadline to enter posters to the Princeton American Legion for this year's contest is April 27.
Perez said she was thrilled when she won at the District 4 and state levels, but never imagined her poster would make its way to receiving such high honors in the national competition.
"I'm excited and my family is very proud," she said.
Perez said she was inspired by her two cousins, Francisco Pimenta, a Maxwell High School graduate and David Estrada, a Williams High School graduate.
Pimenta, a marine who served in the Iraq War, is now serving in the US Army.
Estrada served in Iraq War while in the US Navy.
For the Princeton American Legion Auxiliary, connecting the visual image of the poppy with the sacrifice of service made by veterans has been an important goal.
That is why Dowden offers to talk to classrooms and organizations who want their kids to participate in the contest about the contest requirements.
"The rules are specific," Dowden said. "The poppy in the poster must be the correct shade of red and have four red petals, no leaves, and a center of black or green."
Although she has seen many posts where children have been creative, only posters whose poppies meet the Auxiliary's requirements are selected for cash awards.
"Fiorella's poster was beautiful," Dowden said. "Her poppy was spot on. She also included the cross and Star of David, and it had a good slogan that honors veterans."
Although Glenn and Colusa County students have competed and won against students in the 12 Northern California counties that make up District 4, Dowden said she was surprised when she heard Perez' name announced as the Western Division's national winner at the District meeting at Travis Air Force Base.
Perez' family attended the presentation in Princeton on Saturday, although Perez was unaware that her poster had won at the national level until Dowden made the announcement.
The American Legion Auxiliary will keep her original poster, but Perez was given a framed color copy.
Perez is a sixth grader at Princeton Elementary School.

November 2012
A cold start to this year's investigation!
Today, pupils across the UK have begun keeping weather records for the Spring Bulbs for Schools investigation. Until the end of March they will record temperatures and the amount of rainfall as part of this climate investigation.
It was only just five degrees in my garden in Cardiff this morning. Last year our average temperature for November was 9 degrees Celsius – so it's a lot colder. Parts of the UK even had snow today and are now at risk from flooding when the snow melts! See: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/nov/05/flood-warnings-weekend-rain-snow
Please let me know if you got any snow!
I look forward to seeing the weather records come in on Friday. If you have any questions about recording – please get in touch.
Many thanks

Outlook Good for Milkweed Crop
Macomb, IL – Milkweed as a crop was highlighted at this year's Alternative Crops Field Day at Western Illinois University. Associate Professor of Agriculture Win Phippen is interested in the scientific and commercial benefits of the plant usually considered a weed. Phippen says the floss from seed pods can be used as a non-allergenic additive to goose down. Milkweed can also be used as an alternative pesticide for soybean, potato, corn and alfalfa crops.

Amniotic fluid yields alternatives to embryonic stem cells
4 July 2012
Stem cells found in amniotic fluid can be transformed into a more versatile state similar to embryonic stem cells, according to a study published today in the journal Molecular Therapy. Scientists from the UCL Institute of Child Health and Imperial College London succeeded in reprogramming amniotic fluid cells without having to introduce extra genes. The findings raise the possibility that stem cells derived from donated amniotic fluid could be stored in banks and used for therapies and in research, providing a viable alternative to the limited embryonic stem cells currently available.
Amniotic fluid surrounds and nourishes the fetus in the womb. It can be extracted through the mother's abdomen using a needle in a process called amniocentesis, which is sometimes used to test for genetic diseases. The fluid contains stem cells that come from the fetus. These cells have a more limited capacity to develop into different cell types than stem cells in the embryo.
The researchers used stem cells from amniotic fluid donated by mothers undergoing amniocentesis for other purposes during the first trimester of pregnancy. The cells were grown on a gelatinous protein mixture in the lab and reprogrammed into a more primitive state by adding a drug called valproic acid to the culture medium. An extensive set of tests found that these reprogrammed cells have characteristics very similar to embryonic stem cells, which are capable of developing into any cell type in the body – a property known as pluripotency.
Even after growing in culture for some time, the reprogrammed cells were able to develop into functioning cells of many different types, including liver, bone and nerve cells. They also maintained their pluripotency even after being frozen and rethawed.
The results suggest that stem cells derived from amniotic fluid could be used in treatments for a wide range of diseases. Donated cells could be stored in banks and used in treatments, as well as in disease research and drug screening. A previous study estimated that cells from 150 donors would provide a match for 38% of the population.
Alternatives to embryonic stem cells are keenly sought because of ethical concerns and limited availability of donor embryos. Previous research has shown that it is possible to make adult cells become pluripotent by introducing extra genes into the cells, often using viruses. However, the efficiency of the reprogramming is very low and there is a risk of problems such as tumours caused by disrupting the DNA. The new study is the first to induce pluripotency in human cells without using foreign genetic material. The pluripotent cells derived from amniotic fluid also showed some traits associated with embryonic stem cells that have not been found in induced pluripotent stem cells from other sources.
Amniocentesis is associated with a small risk of causing a miscarriage, estimated to be about one in 100.
Paolo De Coppi, from the UCL Institute of Child Health, who jointly led
the study, said: "This study confirms that amniotic fluid is a good
source of stem cells. The advantages of generating pluripotent cells
without any genetic manipulation make them more likely to be used for
"At Great Ormond Street Hospital we have focused on building organs and tissues for the repair of congenital malformations, which are usually diagnosed during pregnancy. Finding the way of generating pluripotent cells from the fluid that surround the fetus in the womb move us one step further in the this direction".
Dr Pascale Guillot, from the Department of Surgery and Cancer at Imperial College London, said: "Amniotic fluid stem cells are intermediate between embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. They have some potential to develop into different cell types but they are not pluripotent. We've shown that they can revert to being pluripotent just by adding a chemical reagent that modifies the configuration of the DNA so that genes that are expressed in the embryo get switched back on.
cells have a wide range of potential applications in treatments and in
research. We are particularly interested in exploring their use in
genetic diseases diagnosed early in life or other diseases such as
cerebral palsy."

A Cool Map That Shows Where a Ton of TV Shows Take Place
Can you name two TV shows that were set in Seattle? More than "Frasier" and "Grey's Anatomy"?
Can you name three shows that took place in Detroit? Those could be "Home Improvement", "8 Simple Rules" and "Freaks & Geeks".
Where was Alley McBeal, The Partridge Family and Bewitched based out of?
If you aren't an all-star at this kind of bar-trivia, there's good news: Someone has put together a map of the U.S., with a list of what TV shows were set where, and it's pretty comprehensive. (-You can check it out on Buzzfeed.com.)

Zapotec civilization
The Zapotec civilization was an indigenous pre-Columbian civilization that flourished in the Valley of Oaxaca of southern Mesoamerica. Archaeological evidence shows that their culture goes back at least 2,500 years. They left archaeological evidence at the ancient city of Monte Albán in the form of buildings, ball courts, magnificent tombs and grave goods including finely worked gold jewelry. Monte Albán was one of the first major cities in Mesoamerica and the center of a Zapotec state that dominated much of what is now the Mexican state of Oaxaca.
Phase | Period |
Monte Alban 1 | ca 400–100 BC |
Monte Alban 2 | ca 100 BC – AD 100 |
Monte Alban 3 | ca AD 200-900 |
Monte Alban 4 | ca 900–1350 |
Monte Alban 5 | ca 1350–1521 |
Zapotec civilization had its beginnings in the Oaxaca valley in the late 6th Century BC. The three branches of the valley were divided between three (3) different sized societies, separated by 80 km2 "no-man's-land" in the central valley. Archaeological evidence from the period, such as burned temples and sacrificed captives, suggest that the three societies were in some sort of competition. At the end of the Rosario phase (700–500 BC), something happened, the valley's largest settlement San José Mogote, and other nearby settlement in the Etla valley arm, lost most of its population. During the same period a new large settlement emerged in the "no-man's-land" in the middle of the Oaxaca Valley, that settlement, which was constructed on top of a mountain overlooking the three arms of the valley was Monte Albán. Similarities between the pottery of San José Mogote and at early Monte Albán indicate that the people who populated Monte Albán were the people who had left San José Mogote.[2] Archaeologists Joyce Marcus and Kent V. Flannery argue that this process is similar to the process of synoikism of ancient Greece, that is a centralization of smaller dispersed populations in one central city, often in order to meet an external threat.[3] Even though there are no direct evidence for such an external threat in the early phases of Monte Albáns history, walls and fortifications built around the site during the archaeological phase Monte Alban 2( ca.100 BC -AD 200), suggest that the construction of the city may have been a response to a military threat.
The Zapotec state formed at Monte Albán began an expansion during the late Monte Alban 1 phase (400–100 BC) and throughout the Monte Alban 2 phase (100 BC – AD 200). Zapotec rulers began to seize control over the provinces outside the valley of Oaxaca. They could do this during Monte Alban 1c (roughly 200 BC) to Monte Alban 2 (200 BC – AD 100) because none of the surrounding provinces could compete with the valley of Oaxaca both politically and militarily.[4] By 200 AD the Zapotecs had extended their influence, from Quiotepec in the north to Ocelotepec and Chiltepec in the south. Monte Albán had become the largest city in the southern Mexican highland, and so it remained until approximately 700 AD.[5]
The expansion of the Zapotec empire peaked during the Monte Alban II phase. Zapotecs conquered or colonised settlements far beyond The Valley of Oaxaca. This expansion is visible in several ways, most important is the sudden change of ceramics found in regions outside the valley. These regions previously had their own unique styles which were suddenly replaced with Zapotec style pottery, indicating that they had become part of the Zapotec empire.
Archaeologist Alfonso Caso, who was one of the first to do excavations in Monte Albán, argued that a building on the main plaza of Monte Albán is further evidence for the dramatic expansion of the Zapotec state. The building, which today is referred to as building J, is shaped like an arrowhead and displays more than 40 carved stones with hieroglyphic writing. The stones have been interpreted by archaeologists to be the place names of provinces that were claimed by the Zapotecs of Monte Albán. In addition to the place names, each glyph group also depicts a head with an elaborate head dress carved into the slabs. This is assumed to illustrate the rulers of the provinces who were taken over. The stones which show a head turned upside down is believed to have been taken by force, and the ones which aren't turned upside down may not have resisted the colonization, and therefore haven't been killed. For this reason building J is also called "The Conquest Slab" [6]
About the subsequent dramatic expansion of the Monte Albán state within Oaxaca Marcus and Flannery write: " a great disparity in populations between the core of a state and its periphery, it may only be necessary for the former to send colonist to the latter. Small polities, seeing that resistance would be futile, may accept a face-saving offer. Larger polities unwilling to lose their autonomy may have to be subdued militarily. During the expansion of Monte Alban 2 state, we think we see both colonization and conquest".[7]
The name Zapotec is an exonym coming from Nahuatl tzapotēcah (singular tzapotēcatl), which means "inhabitants of the place of sapote". The Zapotec referred to themselves by some variant of the term Be'ena'a[pronunciation?], which means "The People".
The Zapotec languages belong to a language family called Oto-manguean, an ancient family of Mesoamerican languages. By 1500 BC the Oto-manguean language began to differ. The Manguean languages probably split first, then the Oto-pamean branch and later the divergence of Mixtecan and Zapotecan languages.[8] The Zapotecan group includes the Zapotec languages and the closely related Chatino. Zapotec languages are spoken in the southwest part of the state of Oaxaca.[9]
Zapotec is a tone language, which means that the meaning of a word is often determined by voice pitch. These tones are essential to understand the meaning of different words. The technical word for it is tonemes. The Zapotec language has several tonemes, in some there are 4 tones; high, low, rising and falling, and in some there are three; high, low and rising.[10]
Between Monte Alban phases 1 and 2 there was a considerable expansion of the population of the Valley of Oaxaca. As the population grew, it seems that so did the degree of social differentiation, the centralization of political power, and ceremonial activity. During Monte Alban 1-2 it seems that the valley had been fragmented into several independent states, displayed by regional centers of power.[11]
The Oaxaca Valley, the cradle of Zapotec civilization, is a broad valley in the north-eastern part of the state of Oaxaca located about 200 km south of Mexico City. Mountains surround the valley with The Sierra Madre Oriental in the north and the mountains of Tlacolula in the southeast. The area's environment is well suited for agriculture, especially the cultivation of maize, making it a desirable place for settlers. The valley floor is mostly flat with large tracts of arable land. At the time of the emergence of Zapotec civilization, the valley soil had not suffered erosion, since the oak-pine forest surrounding the valley was intact. The temperate climate is ideal for maize cultivation, and it possible to harvest crops several times a year. Frost rarely occurs as it does at higher altitudes in the region. The high agricultural potential in The Valley of Oaxaca has certainly contributed to making this area become the locus of the first complex societies in the Valley of Oaxaca.[12]
As well as the climate and the quality of the soil, access to water is also crucial for agriculture, more so in the valley of Oaxaca where the soil is low on humus and other nutrients. The valley is traversed from north to south by the Atoyac River which provides water for a small strip of land bordering the river, when it periodically floods. To provide water for crops elsewhere in the valley away from the river, for example to Monte Albán, the Zapotecs used canal irrigation. By irrigating water from small streams the Zapotecs were able to bring water to Monte Albán, situated 400 meter above the valley floor, far from the Atoyac River. Archaeologists have found the mountain's found remains of a small irrigation system consisting of a dam and a canal two kilometres long on the mountains south-eastern flank. It would not have been sufficient to support all the inhabitants of Monte Albán, and it is therefore assumed that it was just one of many irrigation systems.[13] Because of the rapid growth in population in the Monte Albán I phase the crops that were grown in the valley were not enough to sustain the population of Monte Albán. Therefore crops were grown on the piedmonts where the soil is a less fertile and the artificial irrigation was needed, this strategy has been called "the Piedmont strategy".[13]
The Zapotecs developed a calendar and a logosyllabic system of writing that used a separate glyph to represent each of the syllables of the language. This writing system is one of several candidates thought to have been the first writing systems of Mesoamerica and the predecessor of the writing systems developed by the Maya, Mixtec and Aztec civilizations. At the present time, there is some debate as to whether or not Olmec symbols, dated to 650 BC, are actually a form of writing preceding the oldest Zapotec writing dated to about 500 BC.[14]
In the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan, there were Zapotec and Mixtec artisans who fashioned jewelry for the Aztec rulers (tlatoanis), including Moctezuma II. Relations with central Mexico go back much further however, as attested by the archaeological remains of a Zapotec neighborhood within Teotihuacan and a Teotihuacan style "guest house" in Monte Albán. Other important pre-Columbian Zapotec sites include Lambityeco, Dainzu, Mitla, Yagul, San José Mogote, El Palmillo and Zaachila.
They were a sedentary culture and well-advanced in civilization, living in large villages and towns, in houses constructed with stone and mortar. They recorded the principal events in their history by means of hieroglyphics, and in warfare they made use of a cotton armour. The well-known ruins of Mitla have been attributed to them and were claimed to be the tombs of their grandmothers and grandfathers.
This section does not cite any references or sources. (October 2012) |
The writing system of the Zapotec culture is one of the candidates for having been the earliest writing system in Mesoamerica. On a few monuments at Monte Albán archaeologists have found extended text in a glyphic script. Some signs can be recognized as calendric information but the script as such remains undeciphered. Read in columns from top to bottom, its execution is somewhat cruder than that of the later Classic Maya and this has led epigraphers to believe that the script was also less phonetic than the largely syllabic Mayan script. These are, however, speculations.
The earliest known monument with Zapotec writing is a "Danzante" stone, officially known as Monument 3, found in San Jose Mogote, Oaxaca. It has a relief of what appears to be a dead and bloodied captive with two glyphic signs between his legs, probably his name. First dated to 500–600 BCE, this was earlier considered the earliest writing in Mesoamerica. However doubts have been expressed as to this dating and the monument may have been reused. The Zapotec script went out of use only in the late Classic period.
Like most Mesoamerican religious systems, the Zapotec religion was polytheistic. Two principal deities include Cocijo, the rain god (similar to the Aztec god Tlaloc), and Coquihani, the god of light. It is believed that the Zapotec sometimes used human sacrifice in their rituals.[citation needed]
There are several of Zapotec origin legends. One of them states that the zapotecs were the original people of the valley of Oaxaca and were born from rocks, or descended from animals such as pumas and ocelots. There is also another origin legend which states that they only settled in the Oaxaca valley after founding the Toltic empire, and that they descend from Chicomostoc. Though it is very important to mention that these legends weren't transcribed until after the Spanish arrival.[15]
The Zapotecs tell that their ancestors emerged from the earth, from caves, or that they turned from trees or jaguars into people, while the elite that governed them believed that they descended from supernatural beings that lived among the clouds, and that upon death they would return to such status. In fact, the name by which Zapotecs are known today resulted from this belief. In Central Valley Zapotec "The Cloud People' is "Be'ena' Za'a".
The Zapotecs had a predominance of deities associated with fertility and agriculture. There are both male and female representation, told apart from each other by costumes. Males normally wear breechclouts and sometimes capes, while females are represented by wearing skirts. Prominent gods are Cocijo – god of lightning and rain, he is represented from Monte Alban 1-4. Another one is the god of maize Pitao Cozobi.[16]
There are some evidence of deities not directly associated with Zapotecs culture, such as the feathered serpent and the butterfly god, they are characteristic for Teotihuacán. And also the Teotihuacán rain god, and Xipe totec a deity associated with spring in nahuatl culture.[17]
Warfare and resistance[edit]
The last battle between the Aztecs and the Zapotecs occurred between 1497 and 1502, under the Aztec ruler Ahuizotl. At the time of Spanish conquest of Mexico, when news arrived that the Aztecs were defeated by the Spaniards, King Cosijoeza ordered his people not to confront the Spaniards so they would avoid the same fate. They were defeated by the Spaniards only after several campaigns between 1522 and 1527. However, uprisings against colonial authorities occurred in 1550, 1560 and 1715.[citation needed]

The club has a strong team of referees, but if you have an interest in becoming involved in refereeing we would love to hear from you and will discuss the opportunities as well. Our Youths and Minis meet on Sundays at 11.30am and all are welcome at the club grounds. Following on a successful year last season there is a wide range of teams and our development programmes are geared towards developing all types of players. They are fielding all the way up to Under-17s and new members are always welcomed. Our underage girls rugby teams train on Wednesdays at 7pm and we are fielding at Under-14 and Under-16. All new players are welcome. Contact Scotty at 086-3795876 for more details on Youth, Mini and Girls rugby if interested.
