On the "free" Nicaraguan elections of 1990:

	* Yanqui Doodle got its way
	* In Nicaragua's vote
	* but take a look at all
	* We've done
	* Before you start to gloat.
	* Yanqui Doodle kept them
	* down
	* Yanqui Doodle's million$
	* Mined their harbors, cut off
	* trade,
	* And paid to kill civilians.


	* Yanqui Doodle promised
	* them
	* If they elect Chamorro
	* The contra thugs and em-
	* bargo
	* Would be called off tomor-
	* row.
	* Vote results cause much
	* surprise
	* At Nicaraguan's views
	* But yanqui Doodle made
	* an offer
	* They could not refuse.


	* Yanqui Doodle gets its way
	* By hook or else by crook
	* And when it comes to
	* Covert tricks
	* The U.S. wrote the book
	* Yanqui Doodle breaks the
	* law
	* Thinks that it's just dandy
	* When we're censured by
	* world courts
	* Our power comes in handy

The mailing list affiliated with misc.activism.progressive (MAP) is
run by a "listserver" which also operated an automated archiver
service. To use this service, one sends "commands" -- simple email
messages in certain formats, to the listserver's address, which is
LISTSERV@UMCVMB.BITNET, or LISTSERV@UMCVMB.MISSOURI.EDU

The most basic service available is the GET command; when the
listserver receives a GET command from you, it automatically emails
you the file(s) you requested.

To use the GET command,

    ======================================
    To get a file named FILE NAME from the
    archiver (files are two words  separa-
    ted by a space), send the 1-line message

    GET FILE NAME ACTIV-L

    to: LISTSERV@UMCVMB.BITNET
    [or: LISTSERV@UMCVMB.MISSOURI.EDU]
    ======================================

    Use GET with the file ACTIV-L ARCHIVE for a listing of
    files available with the GET command.

Thus, for example, to have the listserver email you the index file
ACTIV-L ARCHIVE which lists the files available with the GET command,
just send the 1-line message GET ACTIV-L ARCHIVE ACTIV-L to the
listserver address given above. Remember: don't email these commands
to Rich, Harel, or other human-folks; the listserver itself "understands"
them. If you are thoroughly confused (try emailing "help" to
LISTSERV@UMCVMB.BITNET first) you can of course consult with Rich
[mathrich@umcvmb.bitnet].

If you feel more adventurous, listserv also offers a full database
capability for searching through the Megs of all past postings to
activ-l; use the GET command with the file AMLDBASE DOC for a tutorial
on how to use this feature.

[Greenpeace Press Release from Environet -- Redistribute Freely]

 GREENPEACE SHIP TO ARRIVE AT SHETLAND ISLANDS OIL SPILL TONIGHT

LONDON -- 5 January, 1993 -- The Greenpeace ship, SOLO -- a
former ocean-going salvage tug -- is on its way to the Shetland
Islands and has offered to assist with efforts to limit the
damage from today's oil spill.

Just after 06:00 GMT today, the Liberian-registered tanker
"Braer" -- on its way from Norway to Canada -- lost engine
power off the southern coast of the Shetland Islands.  It
began spilling its estimated 85,000 tonnes of Norwegian light
crude oil when it ran aground at approximately 11.10.  The
weather was described as "extreme" when the oil spill started.

The tanker was chartered by the UK oil company Ultramar PLC.

The SOLO's captain, Dave Enever from the UK, contacted
the Shetland Islands coastguard earlier today to announce
Greenpeace's imminent arrival and to offer the SOLO's
assistance.

The SOLO, which is equipped with a helicopter pad, had been
documenting fisheries in the North Sea when the news of the
spill came through.

Greenpeace spokesman Paul Horsman said the Shetland Islands
were a famous habitat for seabirds, otters, grey seals, and
numerous fish species.

"Even with the strictest guidelines, this sort of accident
continues to happen," said Paul Horsman.  "Only four weeks
since the 'Aegean Sea' spilled most of its contents off the
Spanish coast wreaking havoc on the environment, we are faced
with a potentially worse disaster."

Horsman said given the extreme weather conditions, it was
unlikely that even 10 per cent of the spilled oil could be
recovered.

The Shetlands are home to colonies of puffins, razorbills,
guillemots, kitewakes, cormorants, manx shearwaters, storm
petrels among other bird species.

The depleted sandeel fishery in the Shetland coastal waters had
just begun to recover when the oil spill hit.  Sandeels are the
main foodstock of local bird species.

"These catastrophes will continue to happen as long as the oil
companies are allowed to use the seas as their personal oil
highways," Horsman said.  "At any one time, there are around 500
million barrels of oil being transported on the world's oceans."
The "Braer", a single-hulled tanker, is carrying twice as much
oil as the Exxon Valdez was carrying before its infamous spill
in Alaska in 1989.  The recent spill at La Coruna in Spain
resulted in more than 50,000 tonnes of oil entering the
environment.

Don't think it's availalbe electronically, but you need this book anyway: 
go and buy a hardcopy as fast as you can. I suspect that this will become 
one of O'Reilly's best-sellers (if not already). The book is absolutely 
superb: coherent, clearly-written, comprehensive (as far as is possible) 
and better typeset than most of the earlier O'Reilly books. I cannot 
recommend it highly enough!

Quantum Books strongly objects to the above post, and asks whether
it ought not to be considered an inappropriate use of this newsgroup.
 
Quantum Books has been taken to task in the past over postings to 
misc.books.technical which have been construed as overly commercial; but 
nothing we have ever done can compare to this post for blatant hype.
 
Notwithstanding the fact that Quantum Books posted a simple, informative 
announcement of the new NeXTSTEP book some weeks ago already (Dec. 18), 
this post was filled with over two pages of text devoted to vacuous and 
redundant blurbs about the book and its authors, hyping of the publisher's 
"imprint", and full-blown soliciting of orders.  This amounts to what we 
perceive as a flagrant disregard of the norms which have been 
established for this newsgroup, and we feel particularly bound to point 
this out.
 
As might be of some interest to readers of this group, what makes this 
posting further unwelcome is its broadcasting of a direct betrayal by a 
publisher of its relationship with retail booksellers.  We support 
Springer-Verlag by stocking their books, and they in turn pull the rug 
out from under us by soliciting orders directly.  We do not believe 
their legitimate means of maintaining marketing and editorial presence 
should include abusing Net News in this way.

Hi readers:

I would like to solicit comments on the following two books:

"Fuzzy Set Theory and Its Applications", H.J. Zimmerman, 2nd Edition,
Kluwer Academic Press, 1991

"Fuzzy Sets, Decision-Making and Expert Systems", H.J. Zimmerman,
Kluwer Academic, 1987

Any comments on the quality and usefulness of these books are 
appreciated. They are quite expensive (US$69.95, and US$74.00
respectively), therefore, I would like to see whether they fit
the bill for applications minded work rather than pure theory on
fuzzy sets.

Also, if anyone would like to suggest his/her book of preference,
I'll appreciate your input.

Thank you,

GDI

I believe the older book was originally the second volume of a two volume
set which has been reprinted as a single volume, the newer book you
listed.  The original volume had quite a number of typographical errors. I
do not believe much revision was done for the second edition.  I am a
little surprised that the books were not received better than they were.
They are expensive, maybe that was a big reason.  And although the
mathematics is not difficult in them, there were no chapter exercises so
they were difficult to use for a text book.  I think the market is rather
small for survey, general nonmathematical books on fuzzy sets. There is no
real thread or single application focus for the volumes; rather they
describe several management science and computer science applications
lightly. I suspect it is a good library book and a good reference to the
literature, especially the literature contained in the journal Fuzzy Sets
& Systems, edited by the author.

Jean,
	Funny you should ask.  I recently received a letter from a company
known as TechPress who are in the business of reprinting such documents.
The price for the NACA TR1135 is only $10.  My copy has not come in yet (2-3
weeks for delivery) so I cannot comment on the quality, etc.  Their address
is ( no number was given):

			TechPress Publishing Company
			Suite 181
			27113 Brookpark Rd. Ext.
			North Olmsted, OD 44070

If you send the $10 (includes P & H) along with a note telling them
what you want, including other TechPress titles, you should get it.
